i was on edge all day long. my professor was quite annoyed when i told him my barely functioning laptop was stolen. i took notes on paper all day, quietly doodling away. lyrics scrambled on the page in no particular order.
i had no work today, which meant i could go home to my lover minhiu and watch some television.
minhiu was my dog, my best friend.
that was a bit of an exaggeration, i had many friends. he was just the one i lived with.
when i returned home, it was about 10 pm. my body and mind were worn from stressing.
minhiu ran up to me and snuggled me in a hug. the tension slipped away as her cuddly fur swept across my skin. suddenly my doorbell rang, causing me to groan in annoyance.
when i opened it, there he stood. his hair no longer red, but a shade of brown. my demeanor changed to angry when i spotted my laptop bag in his hands. i snatched it from him and went to slam the door, but he stopped me.
"jaehyun, stop." i was taken aback by the use of my first name.
"don't fucking call me that, felix. it's jae."
he smiled slightly, inviting himself into my tiny apartment.
"open your bag." he said smoothly. cocking an eyebrow at him, i obliged. what was in my bag was not my usual laptop, but a newer more expensive version. my eyes widened in shock.
"felix i don't have the money i-" he shushed me softly, wrapping a hand over mine.
"it's a gift."
i put my head in my arms. "why?" i softly spoke.
"because you're too talented to be hidden."

when he left, i began to experiment with my laptop in joy. when i went to reach for my laptop charger, there was a note."make more music and give me a call."
"you are beautiful."
