Music Room

@Shin Jihoon /lets out a sigh before looking around/
Well, now, I'm bored.
/sits on a corner and sleeps/

@Kim Sohee °blinks at the insinuation that you don't go to class but brushes it off°
Right. I'm going
°gives a slight wave before picking up my backpack and leaving the room°

@Shin Jihoon /gapes a bit, surprised that you'll go to class/ You actually go to class...
But okay, okay, see you around. Let's grab something to eat if we ever bump into each other.
/clasps my hands together excitedly/
I'll make sure to treat you so don't forget to greet me too when we see each other.

@Kim Sohee °shrugs a bit, lightly drumming my fingers against the instrument's surface°
I guess so
°peers at my watch before getting up from my seat, returning the guitar to its stand°
Class is starting soon, I'll go first. We'll probably see each other around

@Shin Jihoon I did not notice the mistakes though... or probably because I am a noob in music.
/tilts my head to the side thinking/
You're still awesome though. And you took time studying too.

@Kim Sohee Thanks, but it wasn't that good. I made some mistakes, honestly
°keeps the guitar in my lap, the instrument sort of functioning as a shield°
About five years now...give or take a few months.

/looks around in amazement as I make my way inside/ Woah, this is some nice place. /the words come out of my mouth unconsciously while admiring the grand piano that was on the front; enthusiastically walks towards it and takes a seat; pressing some of the keys to "have a feel"/ This looks neat. /grins to myself before I start playing the instrument/

@Shin Jihoon /claps my hands, looking like an excited seal as I do so; the huge smile never leaves my face as I nods my head as a response to the question thrown at me/
Yes, yes, of course I am. You play really good. How long have you been playing the guitar? You did really well.

@Kim Sohee °keeps on playing, more focused on the melody floating from the reverberating strings than anything else, but offers just the slightest of smiles at the compliment and continues playing through to the final note°
°shifts the guitar to a more resting position and looks up at you°
There, happy?

@Shin Jihoon /stares at you in awe, listening to how you play; the smile on my face never leaves my face as I listen carefully/
You are doing good... /whispers, careful not to actually disrupt you from playing especially when I am enjoyong it too/

@Kim Sohee °chews the inside of my cheek, thinking of what to play and if I'm even willing to entertain an audience°
Fine, but don't make a big deal out of it
°adjusts the guitar in my lap so its sitting up properly and plays a few experimental chords before starting the song°

@Shin Jihoon I wanna hear you play! /exclaims excitedly but calms myself down immediately upon realizing that me talking to you might actually be stopping you from playing/
As I was saying, I'll shut up and wait for you to play.

@Kim Sohee °settles in the nearest chair, resting the guitar in my lap°
I play a few. Guitar and ukulele mostly. Some piano. I never properly learned that one

@Shin Jihoon Do you play lots of instruments? /tilts my head to the side as I ask, looking really excited/
If so, what kind of instruments do you play? How many? That's really fascinating because I usually laze around after music lessons. /clasps my hands together/

@Kim Sohee °glances up as you start to counterargue but settles when you tail off°
°raises a brow, assuming it to be obvious what I'm doing°
I'm tuning it. You can't play am off-key instrument, not well anyway.

@Shin Jihoon /pouts even more but agrees anyway so I nod my head/ Well, that makes sense but...
/tries to figure out what you are doing, forgetting the topic about formalities in a split second/
What are you doing? /speaks with honorifics/

@Kim Sohee °shakes my head, playing a few experimental notes°
No, most people I come across prefer to be spoken to with respect. Going against that is kind of rude

@Shin Jihoon /nods my head sulkily, pouting a bit/ Yes, yes, I do.
Since I treat everyone I meet as a new friend. /grins cheekily, proud of my own friendly self/ And I at being polite. /taps my chin, thinking about my failed attempts to be polite and formal/
Don't you do the same thing? /turns to you and scratches my head/

@Kim Sohee I'd rather you didn't, we're not exactly close
°gives an apologetic look and turns back to the guitar, strumming the strings after tuning them all°
Do you speak casually to everyone you meet for the first time?
°I ask, going back to fixing the strings when there's a sour note°

@Shin Jihoon /chuckles, finding it funny that I may have surprised you; grins when you introduced yourself, happy to find myself another new friend/
Ohhh /mouth forms an 'o'/ A senior~ Is it okay if I speak casually to you? I mean, I can manage to speak politely but... /pouts a bit/

@Kim Sohee Looking ar--
°flinches at the sudden, massive shift in energy, fingers halting on the D tuning peg and subconsciously taking a step back; forces myself to settle a bit in the name of politeness and nods again°
Nice to meet you, I'm Jihoon. Senior

@Shin Jihoon Continue what? /looks confused but smiles after a second of being confused/
I'm not here to do anything. I'm here to make friends! /jumps excitedly and walks closer to you/
I guess I'll introduce myself first. My name is Sohee, Kim Sohee. I'm a Sophomore and I hope we get along well. /clasps my hands together/

@Kim Sohee °nods in understanding°
Ah, alright
°hesitates, not wanting to just start playing in someone else's presence; not wanting to just sit awkwardly, I just grab the instrument and start tuning for something to do with my hands°
You can continue, I guess

@Shin Jihoon /shakes my head rapidly as a response/ No, I'm just looking around.
Are you going to play the guitar? Go ahead, don't mind me. You can treat me like a wall, or an air, or whichever thing that does not bother you at all. /grins sheepishly/
Anyway, it's me who disturbed you first.

@Kim Sohee °in the middle of reaching for a guitar, the knock startles me and I retract my hand, accidentally hitting a few strings and resulting in a nonsynchronous tune to fill the air; turns toward the door and gives a brief head nod in greeting°
Uh, hi. Do you need the room, or...?

@Shin Jihoon /comes across the music room during my never ending stroll around the campus; turns the handle and peeks into the room through a small opening of the door; sees you so without hesitation, I knock on the door/
Ermm... /slowly opens the door/ Hello...?

°peeks into the little window, finding the room completely empty°
°tries the handle and brightens considerably to find it open°
°slips inside and starts perusing the small array of typical non-band and orchestral instruments°
