before jisung knew it, the whole room was filled with changbin's laughter as he finished spending 5 minutes trying to explain. he stared back at him with annoyed eyes, not liking the reaction he just gave him.

"i can't believe you just stood here, not doing anything!" changbin exclaimed, unable to stop laughing between every word.

it wasn't until jisung eventually slapped him on the arms to which he finally stopped, his laughter soon dying down. "shut up man, i was too nervous that i didn't know what to say."

"so? it's hilarious though. wish i could be there to see it." changbin teased with a small smirk, causing jisung to roll his eyes.

"ugh, this is why i don't usually tell you things." jisung replied back as he folded his arms, irritated eyes staring hard at him.

the moment changbin fully stopped laughing, he placed his hand on his shoulder to reassure him. "okay, sorry. i'm just a guy who likes to joke around."

"yeah i can see that." jisung said with another eye roll. "what now? i missed my chance, i don't think i can see him again."

"well..." changbin started when they heard another voice interrupt them.

"maybe you can write a song about him? you're struggling to find inspirations anyways, maybe it can help you find him again." both males turned their head to see chan who had just walked in.

jisung raised his eyebrow in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about. "a song about him? how's that gonna help? i don't even know his name and he doesn't know me as well."

"but you said that he was busking. judging by how many people there was, he probably come there often." chan explained while slowly walking towards them. "you could possibly see him again."

"but what if he doesn't? he might only come there to sing for fun." jisung said, reminiscing back from earlier.

"i don't think so, he could be a singer. i mean, with a singing voice like his, who could miss him?" chan questioned to which he hesitantly nod.

as changbin continued to listen to the conversation between the two, he unknowingly thought to himself. what if there was a slight possibility he could see him again? after all, he seemed to enjoy singing in the streets to do it often.

maybe jisung could see him again? who knows, it seemed to be pretty rare to find someone with a strong voice like his. jisung said nothing as he thought for a moment, wondering to himself.

what if what chan said might be true? what if there was still hope for him to talk to him again? and hopefully he could find out his name and be able to actually converse a conversation with him.

he then smiled in response, still not giving up at the thoughts of possibly seeing him again. he wasn't just any passing stranger, he was one of a kind; and jisung knowing how strong he felt towards the male, understood what it meant to become drawn to him.

"you're right, i can't lose hope now. i might be able to see him again. thanks chan!" jisung suddenly exclaimed in relief, instantly getting up to walk back to his room.

that was when he heard chan's unexpected voice calling for him, causing him to turn around with an unknown look. "and also, word for advice. don't worry about it too much, just be natural and you'll be fine."

jisung confusingly nodded before leaving the room to his own studio, immediately sitting back down to stare at the still blank sheet before him. "be natural huh?" he mumbled to himself, still unable to forget how beautiful his voice sounded.

after taking a few moments to think to himself, he then picked up the pen to which he steadily held the tip to the blank sheet. "a song about him, how do i do that?"

he thought once more for what felt like forever, nothing but the thoughts of the male invading his mind. this made him smile with thrill unknowingly, too far lost in thoughts to realise what was going on.

it didn't take him long when he was soon filled with countless ideas, finding himself unable to stop writing lyrics down. was it even possible to fall for someone like this? it must've been so beautiful for a guy like jisung to have finally found inspiration.

despite not knowing anything about him, how crazy yet thrilling it must've felt to write a song about him. a stranger he'd never met before that is, jisung couldn't stop smiling as his mind was consumed by the male alone.

love must be really powerful yet beautiful for him to act like this. for him to gain so much confidence and excitement in such a short time - it made him feel free. he could then feel the weights being lifted off his shoulder, all of the stress and anxiety gone.

he'd never thought it would come down to this, the thoughts of actually having him as inspiration surprised him quite a lot. before he realised it, he soon dropped his pen on the table as he slowly read through his now made lyrics, eyes widening moments later.

was this possibly the power of love?

jisung nervously gulped the next day, eyes desperately searching for the familiar stranger he'd wanted to see again. was chan right? could he likely see him once again? or was that the end to their regretful interaction he never wanted to remember.

now that he'd messed up for the first time, he was willing to fix it again. if this was the only chance to see him once more then he'd better hoped that the male wasn't already gone before he know it.

"please still be there..." he quietly muttered to himself, desperately hoping he would still somehow be there.

that was when his eyes instantly landed on the desired figure to which he widened his eyes in shock, mouth quickly left in agape. smiling hardly at the thoughts of being able to see him again, he slowly walked towards the crowd.

with each step he took and every second passed, he could feel his heart flutter as it pounded rapidly, finding himself being drawn towards him once more. was this how it feels to fall for a stranger he didn't know? the relieved yet longing feeling of wanting to see him again.

it didn't take him long when he was soon stood in front of the crowd like yesterday, fascinated eyes staring back. why could he only see him? why was he the only one shining so brightly despite being surrounded by everyone else? why him?

what was so different about him? compared to others? unable to answer countless questions running through his head, jisung could feel himself falling even deeper the more he heard the stranger's voice. just who was he to make him feel this way?

he was too captivated in his voice to realise that the song had just finished, soon snapping him out of thoughts once more. now it was the time to approach him before he missed his chance.

it was either now or never.

taking a deep breath for a moment, he waited as the audience started breaking down as usual to which he began walking towards him, the anxiety building up again.

but now that jisung was completely aware of his emotions this time, he wouldn't make the same mistake right? he just wasn't used to the foreign feeling he'd never felt before, causing chan's words from yesterday to run through his mind.

'just be natural.' he then thought, running the same words in his head. before he knew it, he was again stood in front of the unknown male to which he stared back at him with the same look as yesterday.

however, this time it was different. he could also slowly feel the confidence build up inside him, making him completely certain. it wasn't the same feeling as before, it was much stronger and powerful.

he was ready.
