*Seth POV - PAST

"SETH!" A girl's voice rang in my ears with the sound of the door being opened wide by her. I knew who that voice belonged to, Hannah. I sighed, "WHAT?" and yelled at her.

"DON'T YELL AT ME!" Hannah replied with another shout, but this time her shout sounded very clear and loud in my ears because she was already in my music room.

".... You were the one who yelled first... what's wrong? Why are you here?" I grumbled and asked her.

"What? I'm not allowed to be here?!" she said, turning her back on me. This is the annoying thing about women. When we ask something, we ask clearly but she interprets it differently.

"It's not like that... aren't you with your friend at monets?" I sighed for the second time. Hannah looked at that with a smug face, "Not really, I wanted to ask you about the painting! Is it true?!! was that painting once bid for a billion dollars?!?! I have to steal it!" Hannah said in a hurry.

"...You shouldn't say your intentions in front of the owner..." I said frowning, I pinched her cheek hard. "That's a painting I made when I was in high school, you little shit!"

Hannah yelled from my pinch, she hit my arm and made me let go of her cheek. ".... Damn it, you lied to me! Me, Jessica and Alex planned to steal it!"

"... Who is this Alex?" I asked as I heard Hannah, of course I already knew him and the plot went on like in the series.

"He's my new friend!" Hannah said with the excitement of telling her parents. "She's a little weird like the two of us-."

"You've always been a weirdo to me" I cut her off with a smirk on my face and got a punch from Hannah.

"...Anyway he just moved in and we both decided to be friends with him!"

"Are you sure?" I said in a deep questioning tone and made Hannah feel confused by my question. "Why do you ask that?"

"Well according to the great Ollivander's experience, there is no friendship between men and women. The presence of a man in your friendship will ruin everything, whether it's you or Jessica who gets hurt. So are you sure Alex will be a good friend to you?" I said and planted a seed in her mind.

"..." Hannah was confused by my words, why can't she be friends with a guy? Aren't we both friends? Is it because you're not Jessica's friend that you're good for me? But she didn't say anything to Seth, and just listened to him.

Of course I already knew that she wouldn't break her friendship with Alex because of what I said, but at least I reminded her of this.

I shrugged my shoulders since Hannah didn't say anything and tried to change the subject, "So you came here to ask about my painting? Or… Did you miss me so much that you had to come here instead of calling?"

Hannah snorted and averted her eyes, "Ofcourse not! I was afraid you'd be lonely here so I came and of course because you didn't return my messages!"

"...You think I'm so free, come here" I said and handed her my laptop. I put my headphones on Hannah, "What are you doing?" Hannah said with a little fear.

"... Why are you so afraid and being protective…you're just a kid... listen to this!" I played the song sent by mika earlier. Hannah, who was originally a little angry with my words, this time her focus changed with the voice of a familiar singer playing the lyrics she recognized.

"...Is this Eddy S? Why is he playing your song?!" Hannah said with a surprised face. "Just listen."

Hannah refocused on listening to the song, different from when I sang it, she did not make any expression while listening to the song.

Only halfway through the song, she took off her headphones and looked at me. "Are you going to tell me why a famous singer sing your song?"

"Not now, I want to know what you think of the song. Is it good?"

"It's... great I guess... but... there's a difference... I don't know, it's just that listening to you sing the song and Eddy singing it is very different... why is that?"

Of course it's different, because my power made you like that! …. I wouldn't say that to her. "So my voice is better right? I know mine is great but don't praise me too much because I'm always embarrassed by it... ouch!" Hannah hit me back with a smile on her face "Put that smirk off of your face!"

"To answer your previous question, I make music and sell them to some artists or music labels... they pay a lot of money" I raised my eyebrows and told Hannah that with a smile on my face.

"Really?... That's really great you know..." Hannah said in surprise. "So you're a famous music composer? Why haven't I heard your name out there?"

"Because I don't want to be famous... with a face being godly handsome and a voice that makes women fall for me like angels rushing to the earth..." I bragged and Hannah snorted as she heard me. But her mind went back to remembering something she forgotten, the song composer, the famous singer, the mysterious... "Are you Mr. O?" Hannah said with a very surprised face.

"....No..." I said and averted my eyes from Hannah, well Hannah would find out sooner or later because I sensed that Hannah would be playing at my house a lot and I wouldn't be able to hide that.

"YOU ARE!" Hannah shouted with a shocked face. "…Why are you hiding your identity?"

"...hufftt alright, don't tell anyone okay... I don't really like... you know being the center of attention..."

"Why?" Hannah asked, everyone wanted to be famous, especially in this age of technological advancement, why wouldn't he want to be famous?.

"...Privacy concerns? Pressure? Loss of control? There are so many things I don't want in being famous... I'd love to make a lot of money without having to put myself out there in front of people..."

"You are weird..." Hannah said but with a bright smile on her face. "Didn't you record yourself singing the song? Just send it to the music label so they can get inspired by the feelings you want to convey to people."

"I made that lyric just to make a lot of money... fuck it, I'll send it to someone" I changed my mind, it would speed up for making that music and Mika wouldn't bother me anymore.

"That's good... I can't wait to hear it!" Hannah said and started relaxing in my music room, she told me about what happened at Monets and how she met Alex.

She told her story without removing the smile from her face, it seemed that she was very happy with their current friendship. I just listened to her this time and didn't give any comments to Hannah.

Hannah told me the story happily and forgot a bit about what happened with Justin and her school because she now had some ally that would help her get through school for a while.

This is good, if it will end happily and their friendship will continue without any drama. But it's bound to end.

I'm not cursing it, but it's bound to happen. If there are no feelings between their friendship, it will definitely lead to sex and they will say no strings attached. Just sex... it's a bullshit.

I'm not going to stop it, it's actually quite good to make Hannah grow up and see the world better. She needs to learn the lesson of not trusting people too much, including me.

The two of us talked and laughed until I had to tell Hannah to go home because I had mini mala plans with Lainie.

"Why?" Hannah asked because I didn't usually tell her to go home.

"I'm going on a date tonight hehe" I said with a smirk on my face, which made Hannah a little annoyed. "With the previous girl?"

"Of course not..." I said and stood up from the sofa. "Then who is it?!" Hannah followed me.

"Uhmm... someone, you wouldn't recognize her." I walked towards my room and Hannah was still following me. "Of course I wouldn't know if you didn't give me the name!"

"Why are you so unhappy about this?" I stopped at the door of my room and looked at her. When I said that, Hannah realized it and snapped out of her thoughts.

"...I just don't want other women to be hurt by you! Don't play with women's hearts, you manwhore!".

"Who are you, my mom? Alright, it's not a date, I'll just go have a drink and chat with her, no more than that." I said and relieved Hannah a little until she sighed.

"That's good."

"Good."

We both still stared at each other for a few seconds, until I broke the silence "...now excuse me, I need to change my clothes!"

"Right!" Hannah went and left me waiting in my living room. I just chuckled at her behavior.

After changing, I came out of my room and saw Hannah staring at the television. But her gaze said she was not focused on what was on the television, but was thinking about something that had nothing to do with what was on the television.

"...Let's go, I'll take you home" I said and surprised Hannah. She saw my appearance of crisp shirts, black blazer and dark jeans.

"If it's not a date, why are you wearing such nice clothes?" Hannah said looking from my face to my shoes.

"Are you saying that I'm very handsome right now?" I said with a smirk on my face. "I'm always handsome even when I'm not wearing anything... sorry just forget about that."

Hannah laughed at me and didn't comment on it, "Alright, take me home now, I need to save my money!"

"alright mrs. saver." I said and rubbed her head, she didn't reject my hand and just laughed at my joke.
