"Play a simple chord progression for me." He complied, looking a little confused at how this was going to assist in learning English. "Now fit an English phrase to the chord progression you just made." His eyes widened while he tried to wrap his head around it. He played the chords again and hummed a melody. Then you watched as he worked out where to put the words. You waited patiently while Chanyeol figured out all of the parts before he tried to sing along to it.

             The sky gave you everything
                And the world gave you to me
                I will keep you by my side so you can’t run away to the sky
                I will capture you, I will cage you, I will hold you

You recognised the words from one of their songs but he had translated them to English and was trying to sing them to a different tune. His pronunciation wasn't bad but you could see the areas he'd need help with.  You helped him work through each line until his pronunciation had improved and he was confidently singing the words. You had expected him to be an easily distracted student but whether it was because he was learning to music or because you were wrong about him, he was being an excellent student. He listened intently when you phonetically sounded out the words he had trouble with and repeated them with him until he got it right.

After an hour you were satisfied with the phrasing and he was over the moon that you'd been able to help him but now you were moving on to wording he hadn't seen. You wrote down 3 lines for him and asked him to find another melody. "It will be easier if you have a different melody for different speeches. You can work the words into the melody as a singing part or as a slower rap, whichever helps you remember it.  You want each piece of music you assign the speeches to be different enough that you won't confuse them."

He took the piece of paper from you and read it a few times. "Y/N, can you read it out aloud for me so I know how it is supposed to sound?" You complied with his request since he'd stared at you with those big brown eyes, you didn't think you could refuse him even if you tried when he looked at you like that.

                It's so wonderful to be here with all of you today.
                Seeing your smiles makes me so happy.
                Keep your energy high, stay safe and let's have the best time together!

Chanyeol watched as you spoke, taking in the pace of the sentences and the words that you put emphasis on. You absolutely loved watching him work things out because he was so expressive, one minute his face was serious and focused and the next excitement was written all of his features.  He moved away from his keyboard and picked up his guitar. He strummed a light and happy sounding song and mouthed the words. When he was ready he tried out the song for you. Again you helped him with the words he stumbled over or had trouble remembering but after another hour he had gotten it.

You sat back in your chair with a proud smile on your face. "Chanyeol, you made excellent progress tonight but I think we should end the lesson there. I can't have your managers yelling at me for having you sing and play until all hours of the night." He let out a full body laugh and put his guitar away. He agreed to finish up the lesson for the evening but insisted on giving you a tour of the studio since he felt bad that you had to creep in and wait around for him earlier.

Chanyeol finished showing you around the studio. You hadn't realised that it was more than the room you'd been sitting in all evening. There was a small kitchenette to make basic food with, like the kind you find in hotels, an bathroom and an average sized bedroom. You lingered at the door to the bedroom and turned towards Chanyeol. "Do you sleep here often?"

He shook his head. "Not at the moment but before we recorded our most recent album I kind of lived here while I wrote songs. It made more sense to sleep here than try and drive back to the dorms when I was exhausted."

You lingered in the doorway for a few seconds before entering his bedroom. You were struggling to keep the professional, in charge personal you used when conducting a lesson but you needed to tell him about his reward before you slipped back into your normal friendly self. He wasn't making it easy for you, Chanyeol was too damn friendly and likeable. He watched as you walked into his room and looked around. "Yah, what are you doing?"

You turned and looked at him as he stood in the doorway, unmoving. You had felt his eyes watching you as you looked around the room. You pointed at the bed. "Come here and sit." His eyes widened and his mouth opened and closed while he tried to figure out how to respond. "Calm down. There is just one more part to the lesson I need to tell you about and I'd prefer to be sitting when I tell you." You didn't wait to see his response, you just walked straight over to the bed and sat down at the end of it.

When you looked up he'd made it a few steps into the room before pausing again. You watched as he assessed the situation unfolding in front of him. He squared his shoulders and strode over to you and sat down on the end of the bed facing you. "Ok, so what is this extra bit of my lesson that required you to be sitting on my bed?"

"Well, if you remember the day I told everyone how my lessons would go I said that if you did well you got a reward. Do you remember that?" Chanyeol nodded. "You did extremely well with this lesson so you get a reward." Chanyeol's face lit up like a kid at Christmas, his eyes wide and mouth open and grinning.

"What do I get? When can I have my reward?!" He was so excited at the idea of getting a reward, now you just had to make sure he understood what you meant otherwise he'd likely ask for a toy or something innocent like that, which was fine but you figured you should make sure he was aware that he could request something less innocent.

"I really need you to focus on this next bit. You get to pick what your reward is, you can pick anything you want and if I can do it, I will. As far as the when you get it, that depends on what you pick."

He pondered your words but he still looked confused.  The look on his face told you he was trying to think of everything that he could want and narrow it down to one choice for you. Suddenly he seemed to come to a realisation. "Y/N?"

"Yes?"

"What did Suho pick?"

"A ."

"What?!"

"A . Like I said, you can pick anything. You just can't tell anyone what your reward was." If his eyes got any wider you thought they were going to pop out of his skull. "What I'm going to do is give you time to work out what you want. When you decide, find a way to let me know and we'll work out time to finish. I'm gonna head home now, think happy, rewarding thoughts." You left, leaving Chanyeol dumbfounded sitting on his bed. You hadn't blatantly flirted with him the way you had with Suho but you had a feeling dropping this bombshell on Chanyeol would result in something interesting for the both of you.
