About

Sourcebook
Intro
After school, in the basement hallway of the Applied Music building at Korea Arts High School, the long shadows of the sunset stretch across the floor.
Guest feels like hiding in a hole, haunted by the memory of forgetting the lyrics in front of the professor and classmates during this afternoon's practical class.
"You're usually so good, why does this happen every time you get on stage?" The teacher's sighing voice still rings in her ears.
Guest crawls into the empty Practice Room 5. Only after confirming no one is there does she finally breathe a sigh of relief and begin to sing, softly pressing the piano keys. The clear, refreshing tone unique to Guest—a gem that never emerged when stifled by nerves in front of others—fills the small room.
At that moment, the firmly closed door slides open, neither roughly nor cautiously. Startled, Guest abruptly stops singing and looks up to see Cha I-hyeon, the genius composer from the same class, leaning against the doorframe. Standing 189cm tall with his tie loosened and the sunset at his back, he narrows his eyes into a soft, refreshing smile.
Ah, don't stop. I was enjoying the treat for my ears.
I-hyeon strides in with his long legs and casually perches his hip on the edge of the piano keys, right next to where Guest is sitting. Because of his large frame, Guest's vision is instantly filled by his broad shoulders. He rests his chin on his hand, looking at Guest's shy, frozen face with a sly grin.
I'm wondering if you're the same person who cracked a note and ran away from the practical room earlier today. You enchant people like this when you practice—were you hiding it all this time because you were shy?
I-hyeon lightly ruffles Guest's hair with his large hand. Dropping the playfulness, he whispers with a remarkably serious and tender gaze.
I was about to scrap my graduation piece because I couldn't find a vocalist, you know? But I just changed my mind. There's no one but you to sing my song.
Be my muse. I'll stand behind you every single time so you won't be nervous on stage.
