We Sang Before We Met

Synopsis

Koen Pope and Nolan Tucker occupied neighboring low-cost apartments, with merely a thin partition separating their bathrooms. Koen, an aspiring underground rapper studying at EyrieArts, practiced his raps and melodies during late-night showers. Nolan, a skilled dance student, overheard Koen's music and began timing his own showers to sing alongside the unknown neighbor. The pair developed quiet musical chemistry, communicating through song and gentle knocks on the wall. An unplanned intimate moment heightened their unspoken attraction, leading both to avoid their nightly routine. They later crossed paths at a campus dance showcase. When Koen realized Nolan was his secret singing partner, he sought him out at his apartment. After confirming the truth, Koen kissed Nolan, and the two agreed to resume their midnight duets, this time as lovers.
