Namjoon walked into the big music room wondering why everyone was so quiet, talking in hushed voices when it was usually so noisy. He opened the door to the studio he is assigned to and walked in before letting the door close shut behind him.

"Why is everyone outside whispering?" Namjoon asked the man sitting in the chair with his back faced to him as he plopped himself on the sofa.

"You... Did you not see him?" Yoongi asked Namjoon as he turned to face him. He looked pale and his eyes were darting all over Namjoon's face as if trying to figure out if he was lying or not.

"Who?" Namjoon asked, getting nervous all of a sudden. It was rare for Yoongi to look this shaken.

Yoongi sighed before letting the name slip out of his mouth,

"Kim Seokjin."

"I'm sorry?" Namjoon felt all the wires in his brain short-circuit as he tried to swallow the situation, "Wait. He's outside? In this music room?"

"Right outside this door. Waiting for the head of the music department, Kim Namjoon."

Namjoon scrambled up as he bolted towards the door, swinging it open with force. Finding Seokjin sitting with his back against the wall next to the door, waving at the students who had stopped to gape at him with a bight smile.

Seokjin looked up to his side when he felt the door open and saw a man with a frantic expression gripping the door knob tightly.

"You letting me in now? Namjoon?" Seokjin smiled up at him, his eyes twinkling with mirth.

Namjoon took a step back as Seokjin stood up and dusted himself before waving goodbye to the small crowd that had gathered around the studio and slipped in before the taller man.

"So," Seokjin started, "Nice to meet you Kim Namjoon. I'm Kim Seokjin the head of the acting department."

"Hello." Namjoon said as he bit his lower lip. Damn, he's heard the rumors about this man and he'd seen him from far away a few times before but nothing could be compared to how beautiful he looked from up close. He confirmed that all the words written about Seokjin could still not describe how handsome he actually was.

"I'm going straight to my point of visit today." Seokjin said as he allowed himself to sink onto the sofa Namjoon had been sitting on earlier making Namjoon gulp for some reason.

Yoongi gestured for Namjoon to calm down and sit on the moving chair tucked in the desk and he does so pliantly.

"I need someone to handle the background music for our theatre." Seokjin stated as he clasped his hands together, "This year we're thinking of starting with a VCR. You know, since technology is more advanced and popular now we thought it'll be a good idea. So, we need good music and also since we need more students to come and watch, if we form a tag with other departments there's a higher chance for an increase of students." Seokjin continued.

"Not like all the seats of your theatre last year was sold out, even the standing seats." Yoongi muttered under his breathe.

"You want us to make the music for your theatre?" Namjoon questioned unbelievingly.

"Yes," Seokjin nodded before adding, "and some songs too."

"WHAT??" Yoongi's mood changed completely from one of grumpy to shocked.

Seokjin opened his bag that had slid off his arm at one point and brought out a pamphlet of his theatre.

"This year we're making one that's like a musical. The theme is 'loving yourself'. We want to give people hope and remind them to love themselves no matter what imperfections they find in themselves. It has a strong purpose unlike the one last year and it's very serious. I want one song for the protagonist when he falls into depression, and one song for when he realizes that he is the one to love."

"We can't do that! It's the school theatre starring you!" Yoongi exclaimed after reading the pamphlet.

Seokjin raised an eyebrow, "But it's the school theatre and you're also included in this school, what's the matter?"

"No! It's not like that..."

"Then why can't you do it?" Seokjin asked looking into Yoongi's eyes who averted his gaze to the side.

"...Because..." After a moment of silence and Namjoon fidgeting uncomfortably with the paper in his hands Seokjin sighed.

"I've heard the song you composed around campus once on the school radio." Seokjin said.

"You have?" Yoongi looked at him with wide eyes.

"It was amazing. Your talent is what I need for my theatre to be perfect." Seokjin confirmed firmly.

"But..." Yoongi said, as he felt the need to deny the invitation. He's scared of messing up.

"Well... If you insist you aren't going to compose music for me then I'm going to have to bounce to the head professor of this department." Seokjin shrugged before beckoning for the pamphlets back.

"Wait." Namjoon said as he gripped tightly onto the paper.

"No ways. No way in fucking hell am I allowing Bang PD to steal my position." Yoongi growled lowly.

"Is that what you call him around here?" Seokjin giggled before retreating his hand that had been holding onto Namjoon's pamphlet.

Namjoon looked at Yoongi and saw the determination behind his eyes and concluded that they were on the same track.

"Are you in?" Seokijn smiled up at them as he closed his bag.

"Yeah." Namjoon and Yoongi answered together. Seokjin's smile grew bigger than before and Yoongi swears that he had been blinded.

They exchanged numbers after that, Namjoon gaping at his phone which now held Kim Seokjin's address while Seokjin pretended not to notice the slight shaking of Yoongi's phone as the male gripped it.

"I'll text you guys and we can meet more to discuss about this in detail. But I have to go back now to announce that you guys are going to assist us so thank you for today!" Seokjin smiled as he put his phone in his pocket.

"Bye!" Seokjin waved brightly before the door shut close, leaving the two music students alone.

"Holy shit..." Namjoon whispered as he looked at his phone then at the sofa and lastly at his roommate.

"Holy shit indeed." Yoongi said staring back at him.
