Approaching the cafe, Tyler laughed to himself as he remembered something. 'I met Billie here. Alex went up to him and tried to flirt while Jay and I sat back and laughed at his bad attempts. I never expected him to become our friend.'

Yeon laughed and arched a brow. “Yeah? I met Milo and Robin there. Tried to strike up a conversation with Robin when Milo socked me pretty hard and said he was deaf.”

Tyler laughed and held open the cafe door for his friends. 'Ha, that must have been awkward. Anyway, what do you want to drink?'

“Mm, I may just get a water. I don’t think I need the extra energy,” Yeon said with a laugh, stepping inside.

'I'll have a coke,' requested Alex, taking a seat at a nearby table.
'Tea, please,' said Billie, dragging an extra fifth chair over to the table.
' Chocolate frappe, please,' Jay said as he sat down.
Tyler walked over to the counter, ordering the drinks. He took the drinks back to the table and took a seat, giving drinks to each person there. 'There you go,' he said, smiling at his friends.

Yeon sat down and grabbed his water bottle from Tyler, popping the cap open and drinking a bit. “Thanks.”

'You're welcome,' he replied, tapping a beat on the table with his fingers.
'Yeon, we haven't seen each other in ages. How've you been?' asked Alex, sipping his Coke.

Yeon looked over at Alex, flashing a grin. “Been doing very well, how about you, hermano?” He asked, leaning back in his chair.

'Pretty good, our band is doing really well,' said Alex.
'Oh, yeah, guys, I forgot to mention… can Yeon join the band as a second guitarist?' asked Tyler. He had meant to text them yesterday, but he'd completely forgotten to.

Yeon’s brows arched in surprise at the sudden question. He didn’t expect it to be discussed when he was around.

'Fine with me,' said Jay, taking another sip of their drink.
'Yeah, as long as he can play the guitar, I'm fine with it,' replied Billie. Alex nodded in agreement.
Tyler turned to Yeon. 'That okay with you?'

“Sounds great,” Yeon said with a quick nod before taking another long drink of his water.

'This is so cool, now we can do cool extra guitar parts in our songs!' cheered Jay.

“What genre do you guys play?” Yeon asked, knee bouncing a bit.

'Just, alternative stuff, I guess,' said Alex, messing with his bright pink hair. 'Panic!, MCR, that kind of thing. We're open to other stuff as well.'

“Yeah? I’ll have to learn some of that, never really played things like that before. I use an acoustic gutair and play more lively, Hispanic style music,” Yeon said, eyes trained on Alex. Seemed like everyone had wild hair colors.

(yeah tylers got blue hair, alex has pink, jays is purple and billies is red)
'We could do something like that,' suggested Tyler.

Yeon shrugged his shoulders loosely. “Only if you all want to.”

'Yeah, we're sort of doing the same things at the moment, I'd like to mix it up a little,' agreed Jay. Billie nodded along with them.

A smile spread across Yeon’s face at that. Most were not as accepting of his heritages’ music, though he couldn’t understand why. “Great, I’m excited,” he said, shifting in his seat.

'This is pretty cool,' said Tyler, sipping his drink. 'We've got practice on Wednesday, so you can come along to that and we can start on a new song.'

(What day is it supposed to be in this rp at this very moment lmao)

Yeon nodded eagerly and leaned forward against his elbows. “Have any of you heard Hispanic music before?” He asked with interest.

(it is sunday my dude)
'I don't think so,' replied Alex, deep in thought. 'I just sort of stick to my emo stuff.'

(Alrighty, cool)

“I know what you listen to, hermaño,” Yeon said with a laugh, looking at Alex before turning his attention to the rest. “What about the rest of you, huh? I already know you don’t, Tyler.”

'Same stuff as Alex and Tyler,' said Jay, finishing off their frappe. 'I guess that's part of why we formed the band, cus we all like the same music and played well together. But I do need to listen to other stuff.'
Billie nodded along. 'I listen to some rap music as well, a bit of J Cole, Tyler, the Creator, bit of that sort of stuff.'

Yeon nodded slowly as he listened, getting the urge to call out how uncultured they seemed, but he decided against it. Americans weren’t that open to music in other languages that often. “Well, I’ll gladly introduce you all to some good artists. There’s a female singer, Selena, one of the most popular. Heard of her?”

'Rings a bell,' mumbled Tyler. 'I'll need to add some to my playlist.'

Yeon nodded and grinned. “Amazing woman, terrible that she was shot by some psycho,” he said, scratching at the back of his neck.

Tyler made a shocked face. 'Oh, god, that's terrible.'

Yeon nodded slowly. “It was pretty terrible, she was young, too,” he continued, drinking his water.
