Redthorn Academy for the Magically Gifted discussion

((Where band is taught))

Jinyoung drummed his long, slender fingers across the top of the piano he was seated at, sighing as he let his eyes trail to the flashy watch covering his wrist. He’d been waiting in the band room for the past five minutes, attempting to wait patiently for his girlfriend to arrive. Of course, he’d showed up early, so he couldn’t really be complaining.

He currently donned a large black sweatshirt and light wash ripped skinny jeans, his blonde hair messily left to hang over his forehead. It was an outfit for comfort- after all, him and Mi Na didn’t necessarily have the best opportunities to go on flashy dates.

Letting out a long exhale, Jinyoung laid his head on his crossed arms over the covered keys of the piano as his eyes fluttered closed, and he quickly fell into the warm embrace of a light nap.

Mi Na walked slowly into the room, dropping her backpack on the ground she trotted over to Jinyoung and put her head on his back. "How long have you been here?"

Mi Na was currently sporting a long shirt, black tights, a black hat and converse shoes. She didn't like to dress up often after all she was only at school. Her hair was completely free, swooshing around on her back. She wasn't going to wear her hair down, but she changed her mind last minute.

She realized he was asleep and sat down next to him on the short piano bench and shoved him.

Jinyoung’s eyes shot open as he fell to the floor with a noisy thud, the scowl that once tugged at his lips disappearing and replacing itself with an immense smile at the sight of Mi Na. The joy she brought into his life was indescribable; she was too good for him. Pushing himself back up to a stand, he wrapped his long arms around her small figure in a back hug as he smiled into the crook of her neck. “I missed you,” he murmured against her skin, referring to the fact that the couple hadn’t met up in a little while do their busy class schedules.

Mi Na laughed, "I missed you more though," Turning around she smiled at him. Jinyoung was literally the meaning of handsome, and she'd never felt more in love with anyone. He knew how to cheer her up and he just knew her as a person, he saw through everything that she tried to hide.

"Where have you been?" Mi Na whined, she had seen him in three weeks. She knew that he'd been busy with classes but she just wanted to complain.

Jinyoung sighed, simply happy to be in her presence. “It’s just classes.” He lifted his head slightly, allowing his lazy gaze to meet her beautiful eyes. “We need to meet up more often; I don’t think I can go that long without seeing you again,” Jinyoung remarked, his voice soft and melodic.

At times he could hardly imagine why a girl like Mi Na would like a guy like him- it was hard for him to grasp the reality that someone that perfect so much as existed. He knew he was probably being clingy, not being able to go even a week without her without the worst in him coming out, but he couldn’t help it; it was just in his nature.

Gosh, she was getting some serious feels. "Yeah, I missed you a lot you know. " She felt the need to tell him again, so she did. "We should meet here much more."
She noticed the way his eyes were gazing at her.
"Stop looking at me like that," Mi Na whispered. She didn't know why but every time he looked at her like that she suddenly felt shy. He was so likable, so handsome, so awesome. At times she wondered what she had done to get him to like her. Mi Na had missed him sincerely, being without him was the worst, he was essential to her happiness. She missed taking naps with him, studying with him, and watching him play music.

Finally disconnecting his head from her shoulder, Jinyoung took a seat next to her on the stiff black wood of the piano bench. “Why?” he asked, cocking his head to the side, unintentionally revealing a sliver of his forehead. “Am I not allowed to look at my gorgeous girlfriend?” Despite her request, Jinyoung’s dark eyes stayed connected with hers. He could get lost in them so easily, it wasn’t uncommon for him to forget how to blink.

Mi Na blushed, hard. "It makes me feel weird," She whispered hiding behind her hair. Despite this uncommon shyness she felt, Mi Na unconsciously scooted towards him. "When is your next class?" She changed the subject. She still felt very shy, and it was making her feel strange. She reached for his hand, holding his hand would make her feel all the better. Whenever she felt odd around her friends she always found herself unknowingly reaching for his hand.

Letting out a quiet huff of defeat, Jinyoung glanced at his wrist, pulling the long sleeve of his sweatshirt back slightly to glance at his watch. “30 minutes,” he responded, a frown creeping onto his lips. He gave her hand a light squeeze as he looked down at their intertwined fingers. His long, spider-like hand seemed to fit so oddly in hers, yet so well at the same time; the simple gesture made his heart flutter.

Mi Na squeezed his hand, then looked into his eyes. "Teach me how to play the piano,"
She wanted to do something memorable with him. She wanted them to sneak out of Redthorn and go somewhere like a theme park. Where normal people go, it was boring being cooped up in the academy. Jinyoung probably had no idea that she was having these thoughts. Secretly she wanted to beg him to skip classes with her, but she was afraid he would say no.

Jinyoung’s eyes widened in shock. He certainly wasn’t expecting that, no, he’d never even considered the idea of teaching her how to play the instrument that truly held so much of his very being within its smooth, ivory keys. Pushing these thoughts aside and settling down in reality, Jinyoung let out a small laugh. “You can’t learn how to play the piano in thirty minutes, Mi,” he joked, his lips stretching into a gummy smile.

"Yeah, I could! Besides, how would you know my learning abilities?" She put her index finger to her head in a playful way. Mi Na loved his smile, he was such a sweet guy, he was just dreamy.

((Super sorry about responding late and so little words. I'm super busy with life and tests!!!))

((it's okay! take your time, there's no rush :)))

A joking sigh escaped Jinyoung's lips as he smiled and rolled his eyes. "Alright, oh wise one," he said with a laugh, running a hand through his hair, pushing it back to expose his pale forehead. "I'll start with the basics, yeah? Now this is middle C." He gently pressed down on the note, concentrating on his thoughts to keep his abilities at bay.

((I'm BACK))
Mi Na put her hand over his and lightly pressed the key. She slowly glanced up to see his reaction, then swiftly looked back at the piano. "How long did it take you to learn?" Currently, Mi Na only played one instrument and that was the guitar and that had taken her weeks to learn.

((HELLO))

Jinyoung nodded in approval, allowing his long, spider-like fingers to glide up and down the major C scale. "If I'm being completely honest, I'm still learning," he admitted as he gave her a small guilty a smile. "But it took me about 3 months to get the basics down." His hands gently guided hers to do as his did before.
