Tao sat alone on one of the corner couches of the common area, her acoustic guitar in hand. She loved that guitar, and any moment she had to continue learning it was precious to her. The usual anxiety of people watching her seemed to disappear, all of her focus set on the instrument. Her fingers fumbled over the strings and she let out an aggravated sigh, still unable to get that particular chord. She placed the guitar next to her, running a hand over her face and closing her eyes momentarily, opening them a short moment after. Maybe she’d never be able to figure it out.
Seunghyun had been hanging out in the lounge by himself for close to an hour now; seated on one of the couches with his long legs stretched out in front of him, the last half hour actually had him falling asleep. When he opens his eyes, the first thing he notices is a girl in the adjacent couch, guitar cradled on her lap and looking like she was slowly getting more frustrated by the minute. He continues to watch her quietly, unnoticed, until she finally puts away the instrument and he decides to say something.
“Are you doing alright there?”
