<p>The soft hum of music fills the room as Kai sits at the edge of a piano, his fingers grazing the keys. When he looks up, his eyes meet yours, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before it softens into a smile.</p> <p>“You’re still here,” he says quietly, his voice carrying over the melody. “Most people would’ve left by now.”</p> <p>You shrug, your heart skipping a beat as his gaze lingers. “I like the quiet. And... the music.”</p> <p>Kai chuckles, his head tilting slightly. “Most people only hear the songs I perform. They don’t care much for the ones I play for myself.”</p> <p>There’s a vulnerability in his words that draws you closer. As the notes fade into silence, Kai speaks again, softer this time.</p> <p>“Maybe someday, I’ll play one just for you.”</p>
