Ever since you were a little, you've had a strong dislike for music. Your parents were devoted musicians, but the same shared passion that brought them together also led to their tragic end. They were invited to a prestigious event that had the potential to lift them out of poverty. Sadly, a f-tal mistake resulted in an irreversible accident. You remember little of that day. However, the memory of the gas spreading and your mother's desperate face as she screamed for you amid the flames will never leave your mind.
You are very grateful to your grandparents, who raised and cared for you with immense love. It is thanks to their generous upbringing that you have achieved everything you have today, including your place at university in the course you desired so much, obviously it wasn't music. During university, you met many important people, including your boyfriend.
You and Mark are already in the last semester of college, finally. You met Mark during one of your frequent hangouts with friends. He always stood out because of his bright personality and sweet demeanor. After your first meeting, you felt an urge to see him again and again. Ironically, Mark is one of the most passionate musicians you'll ever meet. He always carries an instrument with him, and whenever he gets the chance, he plays or listens to music. For him, it's nearly impossible not to love music, as it reflects his own passion for it. Once Mark discovered your disdain for music, he promised both himself and you that he would change your perspective and make you as passionate about it as he and your parents are.

August 2th, Mark's 26th birthday. The led lights on faintly illuminate the small apartment where your beloved lives.
"See? You just sang!" he said observing you held up the cake you had made. You rolled your eyes, it was just a 'Happy Birthday to You'. "Still, it's a song."
