Aera stepped down the stairs with a novel in her hand as she made way towards the living room. She was about to flick on the light when she saw a figure resting on the gazebo in front of the house. The figure had a guitar in his arms and if she stayed focus, she could hear the faint sound of the strumming guitar.

“Nam Taehyun…”

She doesn’t even know why but she already walked, slowly decreasing the distance between them both. When she reached behind him, she stayed still, silently listening to his singing skills. She’s not gonna lie but she’s 200% sure that he had the voice of an angel, soothing every people who take the time to listen to his voice.

Satisfied when he had ended the song, Taehyun swore he almost lost his life at the surprise appearance of Aera right behind him, as if she’s actually a scary thing, for example, a ghost. Her long black straight hair and pale white skin only made it worse for him. Don’t forget her white long-sleeves shirt and white pants.

“Ugh… You won’t lose anything by greeting me and stop wandering around like a freaking ghost,” he made a face.

“I’ll lose energy,” she replied shortly, automatically making him scoffed in disbelieve at her respond.

He knows that she’s the type to say important things and won’t do anything unnecessary. He knows that she prefers being alone than having a company. He knows that she loves the silent atmosphere than the crowded ones. But one thing made him weird out is; why is she here instead of inside the house?

“Why are you here?” he cocked a weird brow.

“Problem?” she retorted back.

“I thought that you rather stay inside the house than being here, chatting with me,” shrugging, he swept away the dead autumn leaves from on top of the seat, unconsciously showing his gentleman manner to her.

She didn’t reply to that since she doesn’t have the answer to it too. His next words made her snap out of her thought as her eyes flit to him.

“Sit down if you want,” he murmured, moving a little so he’ll leave some space for her.

Silently, she occupied the place beside him as his focus was turned back to his precious acoustic guitar. It was given to him by his father and he treasured it very much, if she’s not mistaken. He was strumming over the wood as if she’s not there with him as a beautiful melody was produced by his skillful fingers.

“Can you teach me?”

He made a mistake by pressing over a different string resulted to a weird kind of sound and he turned to her with his eyes rounded, feeling unbelievable that she even had the thought of wanting to learn and play the guitar. He blinked again as she kept her eyes on the instrument in curiousness.

“Does it hurt?”

The way she asked him made him feel that he’s actually talking to a mere child and the pure young little girl wanted to know all about the universe.

“Well, yeah when I first start playing it that is. Our fingers will hurt and it’ll be weird if yours aren’t cause’ even the best guitarists went through it once. I’ve gotten wrist cramps when I began playing it but it’s fine now. You’re gonna get used to it after some time,” he explained, eyes on his hand, before shrugging it away.

“Teach me,” she muttered again and he looked at her in absurd written all over his face.

“I thought you hate pain?” he raised a weird brow.

He would never forget that one moment where he was shoved to the ground by her guy best friend and he pulled her with him accidently, getting a furious slap from her for scratching her knee until it bleed the next second. He shivered upon recalling back the hit that he got from her. Man, it hurts like hell.

She made no reply to that and grab over the guitar, automatically pulling him near her though he was flustering at their very close distance. He sure felt weird out because he’s so used to girls that he doesn’t care anymore if any of them got inside his personal space but for Ha Aera, it’s a different story.

“Uhh… Aera…”

“What to do next?” she m
