Heart Strings

Chapter 11

The elevator opened and Geoun found herself scanning the empty lobby for the blond and fluffy hair of Chan. She spotted him waiting by the door and quickly made her way to him.

"Hey, are you okay? What happened?"

Chan placed a comforting hand on Geoun's arm and gave her a worried look.

Geoun shook her head.

"No, but I will be okay. Can we go somewhere?"

"Yeah, I was actually about to head out to meet up with my friends, you are more than welcome to come, but if you just want to clear your head, I can reschedule and we can go somewhere."

"No, I think getting my mind off this will help. Are you sure they won't mind?"

"They'll welcome you with open arms Geoun. Come on," Chan smiled down at the girl then opened the door and led Geoun off campus and into town.

He eventually stopped in front of a small studio and turned to Geoun.

"Okay, so these guys are my other producer friends, the ones I sometimes collaborate with. 
They're super chill, and you'll love them."

Geoun smiled and nodded as Chan unlocked the door and the two stepped into a dimly lit room where some music was playing in the background. There were two guys sitting on a couch and one of them was eating noodles but had stopped when he saw Geoun. She internally noted how his cheeks looked like a squirrel and how adorable he was.

The other boy had been reading a book but when he saw Chan and Geoun, he put his book down and took off his glasses.

"Chan, what's up," the one who had been reading stood up and gave Chan a handshake/hug thing.

"Hey Changbin. Not surprised to see you eating Jisung," Chan chuckled as he ruffled the other boy's head.

The one called Jisung quickly slurped his noodles and shooed Chan's hand. "Hey can't a boy be hungry without being teased?" He chuckled then put his bowl down. "Hi, I'm Jisung, and you are?"

"I'm Geoun, nice to meet you," Geoun smiled at the two boys and they smiled back.

"She's uh. My roommates' friends' roommate?" Chan scratched the back of his head and looked confused at what he just said.

"Interesting.. So Geoun uh, welcome to the studio, make yourself comfortable. There's drinks and food in there," Changbin pointed to a mini fridge in the corner. "It might get chilly, so there's blankets on the closet, and uh. Yeah I think that's it."

"Thank you! So if I may ask, why aren't you two in university with Chan?" Geoun sat down between Jisung and Changbin while Chan sat in the spinny-chair that was by the soundboard.

"Well you see, I'm two years younger than Chan, and Jisung, well he's even younger than me. But we all went to the same high school and got close there." Changbin stated as he drank his soda.

"Ah I see. I shouldn't be in university yet. But my grades were so good I skipped my junior year. So I'm really a year younger than Chan," Geoun smiled at all three boys.

"Really? Huh. I never would have thought that." Chan spun around in the chair. "Okay, so you guys ready to listen to my new track? Geoun here actually helped me out on a few parts."

As soon as Chan mentioned that Geoun had helped, the other boys' eyes went wide and their mouths dropped open a bit. Jisung looked between Chan and Geoun a bit before closing his mouth with a smirk and walking to the soundboard. Changbin soon following his actions.

All three boys grabbed a pair of headphones and listened to the track as Chan played it, they were all bobbing their heads.

Geoun stayed on the couch and pulled out her phone. She saw many texts from her roommates, but simply replied to them to let them know she was okay, just getting some air.
