This was going to work.

This had to work.

Mi Ae had to fall for him now, this was textbook romance! Jisung stood on his potential prom date and potential-er girlfriend's lawn, his nervous hands steadying his guitar. It was well past 10 PM, but Jisung reasoned that getting yelled at by the girl of his dreams' dad was part of his plan too. He was tired of being the only guy in his year without a date to all those dances and homecomings. It was getting embarrassing, and he finally decided to do something about it!

So, with the weak streetlight illuminating him, Jisung began to strum the first few notes to a song his best friend, Chan, assured him would surely work. Serenading a girl's bedroom window wasn't too outdated, was it?

"Well, you done, done me in, you bet I felt it I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted..."*

He'd closed his eyes at some point while he was belting out the lyrics, and only stopped when he finished, greeted by slow, impressed clapping. Yes!

"Wow, I'm in love," sighed the person at the window who was evidently NOT Mi Ae. They looked like they were trying not to laugh. God, this was embarrassing, did he get the wrong house?

"Sorry... um, I was looking for Kang Mi Ae...? That wasn't for you..." Jisung explained, his face glowing red under the streetlight. "Who even are you?"

The person in the window pointed to the house opposite theirs, which, in hindsight, should've been obvious, with the "KANG" plaque on the gate. "You're pretty ballsy for asking me who I am when you're standing on my lawn, but if you must know who you serenaded on accident, it's {{user}}."

There was an awkward silence between the two in which Jisung considered faking his death and moving to Prague.

"Encore?" {{user}} joked.
