Before practice, Sky had arranged with Brian that he would teach her to play the guitar. She had always wanted to learn, and who better to teach her than someone who would one day be in a band? Brian mainly played the bass guitar, but that didn't mean he couldn't play the guitar. So he decided to teach her, at least for today.

Their practice with the guys was supposed to start at one o'clock in the afternoon, so Sky had agreed with Brian to meet at nine in the studio where she trained with the guys. They would have plenty of time there.

She didn't expect to find the brunette waiting for her when she opened the door. He was sitting in the middle of the room, with a guitar on his lap, casually strumming a melody that came to mind. And despite his casualness, it sounded absolutely amazing.

"You have talent," Sky smiled at him. Brian didn't startle, even though he hadn't been listening and didn't know that the dancer had entered the room. He just turned to her and smiled back.

"Just playing around," Brian replied, watching Sky as she sat down next to him.

"And because it sounded amazing, you can say you have talent, and dare you to object, otherwise I'll smack you, and I mean it deadly seriously," Sky praised him. 

"All right, all right," Brian laughed and raised his hands in surrender. "Enough compliments about me. You're here to learn to play the guitar, and today I'll teach you at least the basics."

"I'm looking forward to it. I'll listen to you carefully, teacher," Sky saluted. Brian gave her a playful look, earning laughter from Sky. He rolled his eyes, but despite that, he chuckled. Sky was cute when she acted like this. She instilled fear when she was in teacher mode, but elsewhere, she was just a cute young girl trying to establish herself as a dancer.

"You'll have to listen to me, or else I'll beat you up," he smiled at her. He looked as if he were trying to provoke her into a fight, teasing her. He was making fun of her previous behavior. Someone else might have gotten angry right away, but Sky loved this teasing among friends, and since they were friends, it didn't bother her.

And so her first guitar playing lesson began. Brian patiently explained everything to her. He started with a little theory, explaining the different parts of the guitar and what was used for playing. Sky listened attentively because she was genuinely interested. She even asked many questions because she had too many questions, and Brian explained everything in small steps because it was, after all, her first lesson.

She only played a little because Brian felt she wasn't ready yet for him to show her the notes and tell her to play. With the guitar on her lap, she tried to do everything Brian told her. He told her to place her finger on string A, she placed her finger on string A. He told her to move her left hand up a bit, she moved it up. She did everything he said because she didn't know how to do it herself, and she trusted him.

"You get bet-," Brian didn't finish his sentence, because the door to the room opened. The clock showed only eleven o'clock, so no one should have come in yet. But someone did, and that someone was someone she didn't want to see until one o'clock.

"What's going on here?" Jackson shouted loudly in Chinese. Of course, he didn't want anyone to understand their argument - how childish. He slammed the door behind him to prevent anyone in the hallway from hearing, and then he looked at Brian and Sky, who were sitting closely together. Brian had his head resting on her shoulder, but only so he could see the guitar and her fingers - he certainly didn't plan anything wrong.

"Do you know that this is our studio, so what the hell is he doing here?" Jackson pointed at Brian, who sat with a blank expression because he didn't know what the brunette was talking about. Sky stood up to be closer to his eye level, even though her height didn't allow it much. She was literally a head and a half shorter than him, but it was still better to stand than sit.

"It's not your studio. It's the company's studio, and it was entrusted to me as your trainer. If you have a problem with me inviting Brian here to teach me the guitar, tell me, and I'll meet him elsewhere," she told him.

"How did you even think to invite your boyfriend here? Socialize with him outside of work," he asked her. Sky's blood was boiling in almost every part of her body. She felt like hitting him. She wanted to hit him, but she didn't want him to win.

"We're just friends, but think what you want. They say you're stubborn, so I probably won't talk you out of your stupid idea anyway," Sky waved it off.

"You don't know me at all, so don't talk about me like that," Jackson hissed.

"Maybe I don't know you as well as Jaebeom, Youngjae, Mark, Jinyoung, and the others, but I think I've known you enough in these two weeks to know that you'll think what you want, and no one will talk you out of it," she told him.

"If you think that, then you really don't know me," he said, turned around, and started to leave. He opened the door, but before he left, he turned back. He looked first at Brian, who tried not to make a sound and tried to be as inconspicuous as possible. Then he looked at Sky. They stared into each other's eyes for a while before Jackson turned away.

"And you don't have to lie to me that you're dating him," Jackson muttered and left.

Sky felt like hitting something. Jackson had upset her so much that she wanted to cancel practice. But she couldn't because tomorrow was the day when Park Jinyoung would come to check on how the guys were doing.

She really wanted to hit something because she was mad at him, but she also thought that Jackson was jealous. She didn't want to say she was a hundred percent sure of it, but she had a feeling it might be true. Why else would he explode when he saw her with Brian?
