Play the music where you see "🎼" sign

I kept sitting on the couch till Jin opened the door.

"Hey...",he said
"Hey....", I replied.

Alpine was right. I wasted time. It's just a 5 days till 15 May. And then it'll mark the 25th year since when I became a part of the Throndsen family.

"So....",I said.
"Come and sleep in your room. I'll sleep on the couch....",said Jin
"No way. Get in.."

He didn't say a thing. He closed the door and went inside.

I wonder if it's just me who's feeling way too much for a person I've not even known for a month. But looking at him made me feel like I've been knowing him since like forever.

I didn't bother or show that I was bothered by his actions. I don't know when I dozzed off..

------------

"All my life
You're the one I've always waited for
All my night
You're the one who keeps me at your door
Oh... O-oh...
Even when it's bright sun rise
Or a bad, gloomy midnight
I love the shine in your eyes
Gotta say it's a brilliant sight
To me...."

I woke up to see myself on my bed, under my blanket and Jin infront of the mirror, signing a song only I knew. I loved his voice, I didn't wanna stop the song. I sang the rest.

"I'll be staying...
When the sun's low
And we got no where to go,
I'll be staying...
When you'll be alone,
We'll always have something common...
I'll be here,
When you're far from me..
I'll be here,
Even if the one you love ain't me...
Oh... Wooah..
I know the day will come,
When we'll sing, dance and have fun,
I know the day will come,
When I'll be with my darl'.
So I'm still standing,
And waiting..
For you baby...
Still wishing,
And hoping,
For the day you hug me
again..."

He turned around to see me. He was as much shocked as much as I was to know that the other knew the song.

"You know this song?",he asked
"Yeah..."
"How?"
"There used to be a person I loved. I wrote it with him. I miss him sometimes. By the way, how am I here?"
"You wouldn't listen to me so after you had slept, I brought you here."
"And where did you sleep?"
"Next to you."
"What? But if dad came to know that..."
"Trisha... Calm down. I put that pillow between us...."
"Oh...."
"You know, I'm happy today. I couldn't enjoy at all since the day I came. Can we tour the city?"
"Of course. My pleasure...."

He smiled at me as I took an outfit and hurried to get changed.

I did my morning chores and changed.

"Wow... You look great...", complimented Jin
"Thank you"

We made our way towards the door when Alpine called.

"Going somewhere?"
"Yeah..."
"Bye. Return Safely..."
"Bye..."

Jin bowed to Alpine and Al bowed back. So courteous.

We got in my car and I started to drive.

"You like music right?",I asked Jin
"Yeah..."
"Let's listen to something. What do I play?"

"🎼"

I played a random song which I seemed to get attracted to.

Both Jin and I jammed with the song. We both were humming to it even though it was our first time listening to it.
