A Quiet Lion

Once the music started playing, L.Joe closed his eyes to enjoy the sound that surrounded him. It was a lovely sound that none of his classmates, or even him, could compare to. But as soon as the music started, it ended just as quick. He opened his eyes and looked at the other as he spoke. A sad tone and an apology was the last thing he expected from the other. 

He jerked his head back up from his words. Injured ran through his mind. Leo massaged his wrist for a second, to check if it really did need a doctor's opinion. He glared at nothing from forcing himself to subject to more pain but it had to be done. Leo didn't feel as if this was a bone fracture. It felt like it was sore or in the worse case, a sprain. He looked back down thinking of what to pick up from the drugstore. 'I might need some ointment...ice pack...maybe some ram-'  But snapped out of it.

She was done. Well, for the day at least. Managing to complete a photoshoot earlier than expected, her manager decided to reward her with a day off. Bless his kind soul, she thought to herself as she bolted to her car, speeding home. She could do so much. She could finish unpacking, she could pay her bills, and she could also finally finish that one book that she had been meaning to get to. But all of that seemed unimportant, well in comparison to sleep that is. 

He skimmed through the first pages already bored of the story. It seemed like a supernatural romance novel and he already had his filled of those "books" during his teenage years. Leo dropped the book back to the table beside him and picked up the next one on the stack. With a green cover and a magnify glass in the front, he decided that this story looked more promising than the other. Every page he read, he would look up to observe the people around the lobby. After 10 pages, he noticed that they were a lively yet kind bunch. As long as someone doesn't force him to do weird actions, he believed this could be a nice place to live.

Ravi had decided to do some advertising that morning. The arcade didn’t open for another hour or so and one of his employees was in charge of opening so he could afford to be out thankfully. The gamer was dressed in some comfortably torn jeans, black books and the black hoodie with the robot logo spread across the back of it. Granted the jacket’s sleeves were pushed up to his elbows due to the growing heat. He could still manage to wear the hoodie even in this weather though.

After he looked away from the red haired boy, he bowed his head to the scattered audience. His ears were filled with their praise which lead him to retain the confident smile for a while longer. The crowd started to disperse when they saw Leo not preparing another song. He decided to take a little breather to organize his thoughts. He didn't expect so many people in this area, but he didn't mind that fact. It just gave him more of an opportunity to practice. 

Hey, I'm Jonghyun. {'waves, smiling a bit.} It's nice to meet you - I hope we get to know each other, yeah?
