G for Guitar

# G for Guitar:

There are times when Jonghyun would teach Jungshin how to play the guitar, often upon his own requests. Although most of the times the guitarist prefers to be alone, being completely taken in his own pieces. When they sit across from each other, acoustic guitars ready on their laps, Jonghyun would always be the one to lead, then Jungshin would follow. The older boy is known to be a perfectionist when it comes to music, hence whenever Jungshin makes a mistake he would go hold the bassist’s hand and guide him directly. Jonghyun’s fingers have been engraved on Jungshin’s memory, slender and bony with fingernails manicured and buffed at the edge of each finger like unbloomed blossoms. It has also burnt into his mind, the way his wrist moves that creates grace and senses of refinement. With that, Jungshin would drink in leisure the crispy and translucent melody swirling in the air once Jonghyun starts plucking the strings.

The bassist knows he would recognize him by touch alone, the way Jonghyun’s fingers graze his skin. Sometimes he does wish if he could bury this tenderness beneath his music.
