Daniel Park

An elite combination of looks, height, and wealth.

Right after transferring, he took out Zack Lee and is the hottest thing going at school.

He can even sing.

And this surprising guy...

'... Is at my house right now.' Duke didn't know how to act. 'At least (Y/N) is here, so I'm not totally left to the wolves.'

We planned to practice here for the festival performance.

'My house is so shabby. He's probably never seen a house like this. What if he's disappointed? What if he says something? (Y/N) would probably start a fight...'

Duke watched as Daniel looked around his apartment, occasionally glancing up at (Y/N), who was watching Daniel just as carefully as he was.

"Duke..." Daniel called out, walking towards a wall.

"Yes?" He answered hesitantly, ready for Daniel to make fun of him. 'Do we have a problem?'

"Why are the lights on in the day? You'll have to pay more taxes." Daniel scolded.

Duke gaped, not believing what he was seeing as Daniel busied himself in the house, fussing over expenses and money saving techniques.

(Y/N) watched, becoming more bored with every word Daniel said.

"I'm gonna go get a snack, you have a fun."

Duke nodded dumbly, causing (Y/N) to crack a small smile and ruffle his hair before going to the pantry.

Daniel was actually

Brought up much better than I thought

As much as Duke appreciated Daniel's efforts to be helpful, it wasn't anything he hasn't been told before. He pulled an extra chair up to the desk where his outdated computer sat.

"Daniel, come sit." Duke called, patting the chair next to him.

Daniel immediately came over and sat down and watched as Duke selected a file on his computer. Just then, (Y/N) came out of the kitchen with a granola bar in hand.

"No seat for me? Im hurt."

Daniel turned around. "I'm sorry! Here take this one."

(Y/N) shook her head and took a seat on the floor next to Duke.

"Nah, it's fine. I was joking."

Daniel nodded but still felt guilty about having (Y/N) sit on the floor until Duke has his attention again.

"Do you want to hear this? It's a song I wrote."

"Wow! You write songs?" Daniel asked, clearly impressed.

Duke blushed and nodded. "It's for the festival."

When he pressed play Daniel froze, his eyes wide as he listened. Meanwhile (Y/N) used one hand to bring the granola bar to her mouth and the other to tap her fingers to the beat.

After the song finished Duke exited the file and nervously look up at Daniel.

"How is it?"

... Good.

Really good.

"It's still in the early stages so it may not be good enough. After improving and mastering it'll be a lot better so don't worry."
