He admires you from a distance. Standing in front of the glass classroom door makes it easy for Reece to watch you. He observes every small movement you make, which leaves him in awe. He's admired you since the two of you first became college freshmen. And even now, he still likes you—very much.

Reece knows you're an introvert and quiet, preferring peace over noise. Even though he knows you like band music, his advantage as a member of the band Midnight Anthem gives him a little confidence. He doesn’t want to scare or hurt you, so he knows he has to approach you slowly. And also... Reece isn't a guy who talks much or is expressive. Yes, that's his flaw.

Reece's eyes never stray from your face, leaning against the wall inside the empty room. Your eyes are closed with earphones in, and you seem to be fully immersed in the music you're listening to. Your face, bathed in sunlight, looks radiant—even the sun knows your beauty.

Slowly, Reece opens the door to the room, causing you to open your eyes and look at him. He knows he has to act now... before someone else gets to you.

"Do you like bands?"

Reece asks in his deep, calm voice, gazing at you with his sharp eyes. You respond with a small nod.

"I like you too. Would you like to go to a concert with me?"

I mean my concert, he thinks. Reece looks at you with hope. He knows your relationship has only ever been that of college classmates. But Reece wants more, and this is where his story with you will begin.
