Blind Musician【SungJoy】HIATUS

Chapter 3

It's evening already and Wendy has fallen asleep. I decided to watch some thriller films before going to bed. And since I'm going to watch a Korean drama, it's not complete without some popcorn and soda.

I opened the pantry. "Ah" I groaned when I realized that there was none left.

There were other foods like ramen and chips but I'm craving some popcorn and sodas this time. I fixed my hair and went to my bedroom to change clothes. I might as well go to the convenience store, then.

I went out and closed the door, not forgetting to leave a sticky-note for Wendy.

Luckily, the store's not far away from my condo. Just a walking distance.

The door chimed when I went in, there were a few customers inside.

I quickly went to the aisle where popcorns are and got a handful of it. Just as I'm going to the counter, I saw a familiar face sitting outside. I checked out and headed where that person is. I was surprised to see the blind musician sitting down.

"Hello, what are you doing here?" I asked, standing in front of him.

He didn't answer.

"Are you feeling fine?" I tried asking again, hoping to get a reply.

Instead, he just nodded. I bit my lip and sat beside him.

"Where do you live?"

"Condo" he simply answered.

I held his shoulders and helped him stand up.

"Come on, let me help you get to your condo" I offered.

He gladly obeyed and walked beside me. I held his arm for support, seeing that he has no white cane whatsoever, I did what I can even though it's embarrassing.

I looked at him and saw him furrow his eyebrows.

"Sorry" I tried removing my hand but he pulled me even closer, making us have linked arms. He is quite tall, maybe 5'9? I look small when I'm beside him even though I'm tall.

A smile crawled on my face. I can't believe this.

"I met you before. You performed Summer Romance" I said, smiling. My cheeks heated up at the thought that I still remember the title of his original song. The way his voice echoed in my head made me smile even more.

"Why are you smiling?" he asked in a husky voice.

"Huh?" I raised a brow.

"I can feel you smiling, did you like my song?" he chuckled.

"I did" I giggled, my eyes drifted to him.

"Where do you live?" he asked me this time.

"Condo too"

"Really?" he chuckled, again. I saw how sweet his smile is.

"I live in Emerald Trees" That's where I live. The location of it is really amazing! Because I'm near two malls and it's just a walking distance from there. It's also kind of nature-themed with a touch of modernity making it more, relaxing.

"Oh? Me too"

I was surprised. My eyes widened in shock!

"Really?"

"Yeah"

We continued to talk until we reached the Condominium. I was even more surprised when I learned that we live in the same building. Although, my unit is a floor up from his.

I waved goodbye to him. I was about to walk out when he suddenly called me.

"Hey!" I turned around.

"I didn't get your name" he said. Even though he is not looking directly at me, I felt that he is piercing through my eyes.

I licked my lip, "Sooyoung, but I go with Joy"

"Joy... I'm Sungjae. Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too"

He remained silent. I looked at the clock nearby and saw that it was already late at night. I forgot that I was going to watch some dramas.

Maybe I can do it tomorrow, instead.

"Goodnight! I hope to see more of you again!" I shouted.

"Goodnight" he said then closed the door.

Nobody saw it, but I slept with a smile plastered on my face that night.
