The first time he saw her, he was almost blown away by her beauty.

She wasn't just pretty, she had this special type of elegance to her. The look in her sparkling eyes, they way she danced under the moonlit sky. So free, and graceful, like she didn't have a care in the world.

And on the occasions that she sung? Oh, he was breathless.

It started when he was framed for his own sister going missing. He didn't have much, and couldn't freely go anywhere. So, he would visit a shady bar, in the late hours of the night.

No one was ever there, other than some bartender with an unbelievable criminal record. So, he was free to come and go as he pleased.

Some time passed, and he started hearing the sounds of a soft voice. He never paid much attention at first, but the voice caught his attention more and more each time he went there. So eventually he gave in.

And in peaking out of the window, he caught the first glimpse of the woman who occupied his mind almost every waking hour.

"Watching her again, I see?" The bartender said, wiping off a glass with his pudgy hands.

Tae Joon didn't really bother in replying, instead he continued to stare.

Sometimes she would trip or fumble, and that made him softly chuckle to himself. To him, she felt so far away, yet she was so close.

"Does she come here often? To dance?" He asked.

"No, in fact, she's only here when you're here. But she usually arrives earlier"

He was shocked to here this information, but went back to admiring her.

Was it a coincidence? It had to be, she couldn't see him from her perspective anyway. But she could've just looked up and saw him..? Did they both just happen to go there every night, every Sunday? Or was it something more?

Those were the types of thoughts that protruded his mind.

The mind that was so conflicted before. Seeing her gave him his hour of peace. The one hour a week where he felt okay, where he felt he could just be himself and relax.

"You should speak to her, I'm sure she'd enjoy speaking to a handsome fellow like you" The bartender joked.

And without missing a beat, "I should.." He muttered and stood up.

Any excuse to speak to her, this was it.

"W-what? Really? I was just kidding but go on ahead kid" He said, putting some things away.

The bartender laughed at how strange Tae Joon was, but he found it cute how determined he was to see her.

Tae Joon quietly snuck out of the bar, and down some stairs. He followed her voice, and stopped just before turing the corner.

"Is someone there?" She called.

His eyes went wide, how did she know?

"Hm? I guess not.."

He took a deep breath, and stepped out from his hiding spot. Taking a while to notice his presence and turn around.

"I knew someone was there! Hello." She said.

Her presence was as calming as her singing, for a while he almost forgot how to speak. Seeing her up close, it was unbelievable to him.

"Hello" He dryly replied.
