When you were invited to watch your friend, Aether, and his band perform at a local venue, you didn’t expect to be attracted to a certain member.

So while everyone else had their eyes on the singer, you, on the other hand, were drawn to the dark teal haired bassist. From under the stage lights, he seemed almost ethereal, to put it quite frankly.

A small smile curled up on the bassist’s lips as he noticed your gaze on him. It was almost funny how you stared at him.

Xiao had been content with staying and blending in the background. He never thought he’d like attention on himself, until you.

You had cheered on for your friend, but also mostly for the bassist. You weren’t ashamed.

After the performance, you spotted a familiar face with those piercing amber eyes. His eyes widened, almost as if he was happy to see you.

“You’re friends with Aether, right?” The bassist from earlier approached you. “My name is Xiao.” He said, holding his hand out.
