"One, two, three—"

Wheein's third time hitting her drumsticks together— it was the cue for the band to start their piece. Hyejin strummed her guitar with a G chord followed by a progression, Solar tickled the ivories and Wheein started with an eighth beat.

I let go of the hand
I am holding on for a long time
You let me go and I've found out
You weren't really holding mine

When the rain starts to pour
And so my sorrows
Our love is a passion of poison
Stab my heart with a dagger

Each day is a step closer away
From the ending we've dreamt that day
Love is sweet
But why does the aftertaste tastes so bitter

"Yong, Hyejin, I'm gonna take a break and drink water outside, okay? Don't start without me."

The drummer left the studio leaving the two band members behind.

"Hyejin, I know our charity gig is still next month— so uhm, there's a song I've been working on, but I can't seem to find an inspiration—"

"Moonbyul? How about Moonbyul?"

"Huh?"

"Not interested in Moonbyul? Not a little bit?"

"What are you talking about Hyejin?"

"I don't know, you seem interested in her."

"I am not."

"You do, and you're bad at hiding it."

"Hyejin, I'm not interested in girls, okay?"

"That's what Moonbyul said."

"What?"

"What?"

"Why are we talking about Moonbyul?"

"I don't know, because you said you need an inspiration?"

"Seriously? Hyejin, I just met her."

"But you wanted Moonbyul to make you her inspiration. That's unfair of you, Yongsun."

"Because I owe her, and I want to help her. I saw you struggle before Wheein agreed to become your model."

"Ah, excuses, reasons. You're even bad at coming up with them."

Solar never felt this frustrated. Is it wrong that I helped Moonbyul? I was only being nice to her in return, but why's Hyejin taking it the wrong way? I'm not interested in Moonbyul, why would I? She's not interested in me too, right? It's a mutual feeling. And even if I get interested— I think it's normal if you want to know your roommate better.

When Wheein came back, she saw how lost and a mess Solar is.

"Yongsun, are you okay?"

"Wheein you see, Yong needs an inspiration."

"Don't you have a Moonbyul already?"

"Oh my god, Wheein! That's the taboo word for today. That taboo word is messing up with her head right now."

"It's you messing up with my head, Hyejin!"

"Maybe I did, but it was Moonbyul that kept you thinking."
