this is a continuation of the chapter "messages¹".

━━ makato was currently in shambles. he was in the studio with his rhyland hyung, going over some songs rhyland wrote.

at the moment, rhyland was hunched over, going back and forth between his computer and notebook.

makato couldn't help but stare at the older boy, tracing rhyland's side profile with his eyes. he stared at the way rhyland's glasses was slid down all the way to the tip of his nose. makato watched as pieces of his overgrown black fell in front of eyes, obscuring rhyland's vision. he wondered how the older was able to see like that.

makato wishes he could stop seeing, then he wouldn't have look at the way rhyland bit his lip while he was working or the way rhyland would scrunch his nose in hopes of bringing his glasses up. they always slid back down.

he thought back to the conversation he had with kenji yesterday. no way his rhyland hyung would like him back. he'd like to think he's more observant.

makato didn't realize he had zoned out until rhyland started waving his hands in front of his face.

"helloo, earth to makie." rhyland said. makato shook his head rapidly, forcing him back to reality. rhyland brought the hand he was waving in his face to his hair, brushing it away.

"hi, sorry." makato muttered. "you done with what you were doing?"

"yeah, do you want to hear it?" rhyland grinned, showing off his red braces, foreshadowing the red hair that's to come for their comeback in november.

"of course, hyungie." makato smiled back.

rhyland sent him one more grin before turning back to his computer. but before he pressed play, he passed his notebook to makato. "i'm going to need you to sing the chorus for me."

"oh, yeah, alright." makato said, holding rhyland's precious notebook in his hands.

rhyland pressed play and makato started to sing.

the song was about their friendship. rhyland was writing it for makato's eighteenth birthday. it was originally supposed to be a surprise, but he had been snooping around rhyland's bedroom and found it.

it was a song just for makato's ears. a song that rhyland wrote just for makato and it made his heart hurt. it just made makato like him more than he already does, if that's even possible.

makato didn't register that he stopped singing and zoned out again, until he saw rhyland up close and in his face.

"you clocked out again, love." rhyland muttered. "you were just staring at the page."
