The Time In Between

Everyone got up early the next morning. Noh immediately went to see what Dye and Ohm had done. The huge smile on his face said it all.

"How many are finished?" Phun asked sleepily. He had never been a morning person.

"Two. The first of the trilogy and the extra song, Together with me."

"We did Together With Me first. Then we worked on the trilogy. Listen Noh, Together With Me needs to be ours ok. That song is beautiful." Dye said as he dropped into a chair. Mick placed a plate in front of him and he smiled appreciatively. 

"OK then it's ours." Noh said as Phun got a plate. He had to leave soon and Noh was worried that he would be late. Phun shook his head and kept eating.

"Did Ohm finish his rap verses?" Noh looked away from Phun, reassured.

"Yes. I just need to add the one for Longing on here." Dye held up the book it was written on and waved it. "Stop stressing. Can we play TWM tomorrow for the Finals?"

"Did Flex and Ex see it?"

"Yes. They worked on the melody last night." That was their side of production. They worked on the melodies that matched the lyrics. Noh wrote first always. Ex would look at it and start things off with the guitar. Flex also played a mean piano and he would work from that. Sometimes they looked through unused melodies and matched those up instead. They were always creating melodies but Noh found it hard to write lyrics to melodies. Luckily the duo found it easy to write the melodies to the lyrics so Noh was very blessed.

"Were you all in Band Club or something?" Phun asked the others after they had all gathered and were chatting music on the table.

Dye looked over at him with a smile. "Noh is the only one of us whose dad was not a musician. I'm sure you know about Ohm's dad but mine actually works in China and Flex's dad is in his own band. They play local now but they were pretty big back in the day."

"My dad is in the US. He immigrated before I was born. I was the result of a fling. He's paying for my tuition but that's about it. We're not that close and he's made it clear, he doesn't support the band but he hasn't made any demands of me either." Ex stated plainly. Phun nodded. Joke had a similar story but his step-dad was a really great man and he had accepted Joke as his own. That reminded Phun, he needed to text Joke. He whipped out his phone and revived the old line group chat. 

He left for school a few minutes later then caught up with Fi.

"I almost overslept until you blew up my phone with that message."

"Huh?" Fi lived right on campus and was known to shower and dress in 10. He always prepared his uniform the night before.

"You sent off a message. There have been hundreds of replies."

Phun blinked then whipped out his phone. It was lighting up with messages as he stared at it but it didn't make a sound. He looked and saw the ringer had gone to silent. He tried to recall turning it down and remembered when Noh had grabbed it after the alarm went off. They had both gotten an extra ten minutes before Mick started banging on the door.

-Phun. What the fuck are you doing? Tell us what happened already! Nant practically yelled in text.

-They must be doing it. Shut up and let them already. Joke started arguing with Nant.

-I don't care if their doing it! He can't send just one message then disappear!

-Sorry. Noh had turned down the ringer when the alarm went off. We're fine. And no. We weren't doing it.
