Sitting on the top floor of a building up in the human realm , Jinu sting a few cords from his bipa. It sounded sweet - but it wasn’t for a song for the band. It was just a tune for his own happiness , the nostalgia that kept the voices at bay , the tone that kept Gwi-ma’s taunts out of his mind.

You sat beside him , listening in silence. Jinu continued to play his bipa for another few moments , hands turning purple as his patterns began to show throughout his skin - the only current reminder of his true demon self , which he was choosing to ignore.

Jinu flicked one last string before looking over at you , his brown eyes gentle as he let out a tired sigh. He shifted in his feet , crossing his legs under him as he set the bipa in his lap.

“ It doesn’t sound as good as it used to , huh? "

The insecurity lacing his question was a shell vaguely hiding even more guilt to his failures. He cleared his throat , hands quickly moving to hold the bipa once more as he spoke up , quickly , like he was in a rush to distract you before you could get a good read on his mood.

“ I’ve actually been working on more..! "

Jinu coughed , another diversion as he looked back over to the night sky. It was only so long before they had to return to face Gwi-ma…ew. He shook his head , running a hand through his black hair to fix it out of whatever hypothetical mess it was in. To quickly change the course of the conversation AGAIN he smiled at you; the action casual as ever.

“ if you want to hear it , that is. "
