It was that time of the year again. Your boyfriend's birthday! You couldn't believe how many years you knew each other. You started to think about the very first time you guys meet.

You remember you just transferred schools to the Halim Multi Arts School, you love to sing even if you didn't consider yourself good. In your old school, they always ignored your talent as to why your best friend suggested you go to school. You got accepted which you were nervous but excited at the same time.

You got yourself a little apartment next to the school, it wasn't the best but it was cozy enough. You decorated your apartment to make it feel a little bit like home and unpack everything. "Oh, it's still 7 pm. I finished early," you said as you decided to spend your time looking around the place you were going to stay. You quickly grabbed a jacket that you found on the floor and went down to which you saw many apartments, a few restaurants nearby, an ice cream shop which was still open and well the school. You got closer to the school to see what it looked like. "I can't wait to start studying here," you said as you looked through the gates of the school.

You love the school. After 2 and a half years of studying there, you got yourself some nice friends who eventually made you take dance with them too. You weren't the absolute best at dancing but you were decent. You got yourself a respected title on the school as everyone knew you like a really talented person. 

You were walking back to your apartment. When you got home, you sat down on your couch and you started to hear some sound coming from the wall. You expected it since the landowner said years ago that the walls are thin and if there is a neighbor, you would probably listen to a little bit of sound. That's when all of a sudden, the sound started to get close, really close. 

'I guess their sofa is on the other side of this wall too,' you thought as you lay your head on the sofa looking at the ceiling. That was when you heard a voice, a voice that sounded like an angel, a modulated voice. You sat there as the lovely music of his voice got to your ears. You were sure it was a "he" since the voice did sound a bit lower. The voice got louder with confidence, it was a song you knew the lyrics by heart. It was getting to the chorus where you were starting to sing along when the voice stopped singing. "Wait why did you stop?" you said, covering your mouth quickly realizing what you said out loud. "What?" you heard from the other side. 'Oh shoot- I messed up,' you thought as you were instantly trying to think to say something.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to listen. I just thought it was beautiful. You sing really well," You say worriedly, afraid of the answer you'll get back. There was a long pause, you thought he just left so you were ready to go when you heard "You... really think so?" the voice was a bit unstable than when it was singing, you guess he didn't really think there would be an audience. "Yes! Of course I do. Your voice is really charming and really sweet to listen, besides I love that song." There was a bit of a pause. "Thank you very much..." is all that he said. "Well, I better go and sleep," you told him as you got up from the couch. "Goodnight to you," you said as you went and got ready for bed. 

You went to school the next day and a new kid came. Seeing from his dialect, you think he was from Daegu. You weren't really in any class with him so you didn't get a chance to talk to him. As you were walking back home, you thought to yourself 'tomorrow I'll talk to the new kid and welcome him to the school' and you went back to your apartment. You laid down on the couch and you didn't hear any sounds this time so you thought there was no one. Since your neighbor sang the song yesterday it's been stuck in your head so you decided to sing the chorus.

"And I'll listen to your words 

I'll always be there for you oh oh yeah

I'll listen to your voice and sing with you~ 

oh oh oh oh oh ooh yeah~"

You sang and you stopped for a bit, you catch your breath to continue "Singing with y-" when all of a sudden you heard "you on the other side of this world" from the wall. You looked at the wall where he said "You, yourself, sing well" and chuckled a bit to himself. "Haha, very funny neighbor. How long have you been listening?" you said as you felt a bit shy. "Since the beginning.. you were complimenting my voice yesterday, it's my turn to compliment yours." You felt embarrassed. 

"No no, uhhh... It's fine," you said and blushed a bit. "I'm going to call you Miss. Angelic voice because your voice sounds like it could give me life," he said laughing to himself. "Oh yeah? Then I'll call you Mr. Sweet voice because it's so sweet I might get a cavity" you said snickering to yourself not believing what you said. It got a bit quiet after we both laughed at each other's comments. "What songs do you know? Maybe we can sing one together," you said as you were fidgeting with your hands. He listed the songs he knew. Some of them you did knew others you didn't. 

"Hey, let's sing together someday! That way we get to learn new songs and I can make my voice stronger." You said excitedly. "That sounds fun... but I'm not that confident with my vocals," he said as you could tell he was shaking his head a bit. "But if you sing with me then you'll gain a bit of confidence..." You said trying to convince him. "Um... I don't know, I'll think about it. I have to go. Good night," he said as you told him good night wondering if you messed up... Again...

The next day, you looked around for the new kid but he wasn't anywhere. 'Well he's probably somewhere touring the school or something,' you thought. Friday came close and you sat again on the couch but you didn't hear anything. Until you heard a small, unstable singing voice coming from the wall which you tried to see what song he was singing and immediately sang together. For a few weeks you kept doing this without ever knowing who each other was, you guys had different schedules, he was always dancing and practicing. While you were in extra classes. You felt like you had a bond together.

One day you finally got a chance to talk to the new kid called "Beomgyu". A little bit late to welcome him to the school but maybe you can ask him how's he adapting to school. So you went over him.

"Hey nice to meet you, I'm sorry I never really presented myself," you said smiling shyly

"Do I know you? I recognize that voice..." Beomgyu said turning around and looking at you.

"Mr. Sweet Voice..???" 

"Miss Angelic voice?" 

Both of us looked at each other a bit shocked and then we burst out laughing since the nicknames were kind of embarrassing to say looking at each other. 

"Well I guess we need a proper introduction," Beomgyu said smiling softly to you

"I'm Beomgyu Choi"

"And I'm y/n"
