Here's Hae Lynn, your normal high school girl with a bubbly heart and personality but tied down with a dark past that no one knows about. No one really knows what, how or when she managed to change her personality overnight but let's just say, she wasn't usually this bubbly and cheerful. You could label her as somewhat a 'strong' person. Mentally and emotionally.

And then there's Kyungsoo, that typical cold-hearted boy who acted cold to everyone around him because he lost his sister right in front of his eyes. Ever since, he blamed himself for his sister's death and he couldn't find happiness from that day on.

Will he treat Hae Lynn differently or will he find out that she actually has the same problems that he has, but hers are way more complicated than his?

“Look, I just don’t get why you’re so co-“

“I’m jealous of you, you know?” she blurted out and his eyes widened. “W-What?” he croaked out and she scoffed bitterly. She pressed her lips together when she felt a tight grip around her heart instantly. If it was possible, she would want to just fall into a deep sleep and escape the world. “M-Me?” he asked softly and she nodded her head without a smile on her face. “I’m jealous that you have...” she can’t even go on as she didn’t want to admit all of this but she just wanted to tell it all out to someone. Someone who was willing to listen and she knew he was the right person to let it all out to.

“...such a loving family.” She whispered and he furrowed his eyebrows. “Oh yeah? My parents are overprotective and they care way too much.” He scoffed and she shook her head as she felt like another stab was made in her heart. “I wish I had that much love, you know?” she asked and he could sense the ultimate pain and heartaches that she might have gone through even before she met him. “W-What do you mean by that?” he managed to ask and she looked up to the sky as she began to rock forward and backward slowly.

This was one of her habits where if she was going to express or explain her feeling as deep as this, these are the actions that she would do so she wouldn’t cry but it would always end up otherwise. Doing this would just slow down the process. “I didn’t have anyone to love me with two open arms. I didn’t have a mother who could just come to me and hug me tight. Letting me know she loves me so much she doesn’t want me to leave her. I didn’t have a father who could give me advice on anything in life. I...” she took in a deep breath before she whispered, “...don’t get to experience the love you get to have.”

He suddenly felt guilty. He didn’t know something that he found a burden to him would mean so much to another person. Just like that, he began to think what would happen if his parents were gone and it made him shudder as even though his parents were overprotective and whatnot, he still loved them very much. “But I got adopted, by a wonderful man.” She said in a shaky voice and he could tell she was going to cry anytime soon. “His wife hated me though.” She chuckled as she pressed her lips together along with furrowing her eyebrows so she wouldn’t cry.

“She would sometimes tell me to go back to my mother instead of her but," she took in a deep breath before she continued, "...if only she knew that I didn’t have anyone to turn to other than her as my mother. I did everything.” She shook her head as she could remember obligating to every single rule her mother made. Even if they were ridiculous, she would do it just for the sake of getting a mother’s love but it would be useless as her mother would show no such emotions. “I followed every single rule she made and it would always be wrong. It would never be good enough for her.” She sighed softly before she finally let a tear run down her cheek.

The moment the tear ran down, she quickly wiped it off as she kept on going. She’s been holding this in for too long and he could see her struggling. “Sometimes she would tell me that I should just kill myself because being her daughter is a burden. She said that if it wasn’t for her husband for adopting me, she would’ve thrown me out of the house a long time ago. Everything always seemed to be my fault. Nothing would be right as long as I am in the picture.” She shook her head as her mother’s voice shouting at her rang at the back of her head. Not her biological mother, the woman who was forced to adopt her. She sniffed as she let out a shaky breath. “She told me to get lost and run away.” Hae Lynn breathed out and Kyungsoo felt like his heart just clenched.

“And so I did. I ran to my grandmother in Seoul.”

She clicked her tongue before he scooted closer towards her to wrap his arms around her. He didn't know if this was appropriate, but it felt right. She shut her eyes tight and she tried not to cry but she couldn’t when he pushed her head until her head leaned onto his chest.

“S-Shh...” he hushed her as he was crying silently along with her. He didn’t know she was going through so much that she could easily hide it with a cracked smile. How could he not realize this earlier but just act like he was the one hurting more than she was? He felt like a major right now and he should. He her hair slowly before he pressed his lips on her forehead, letting a tear roll down his cheek to land on her head.

Shaking, she tried to put her arms around his waist. He noticed how hard she was trying and he used one hand to put them securely around his waist.

Do Kyungsoo is his name. He moved to Seoul and so happened, he was neighbours with Hae Lynn. His mother and her grandmother hit it off pretty well ever since they met one another and he has no choice but to be 'nice' to Hae Lynn. Even with that, he somehow didn't manage to do it as he found her annoying but after a while? He saw sides of her he thought he'd never see and from there, his heart started to change. Whether it was mutual liking or love as friends or more than that, no one really knows.
Music lets him express feelings he could never suppress into words.
Currently on his second last year of high school, just like Hae Lynn.

 

Nicole Jung is her name and she's the closest friend Hae Lynn has. She knows the things Hae Lynn goes through because of the way the two clicked off instantly when they were put up to be partners in one of their classes. She's just like Hae Lynn, a bubbly personality and a very pretty girl. She tends to speak really fast but Hae Lynn doesn't mind as she could understand her perfectly. Some could even understand why the two were best friends.

 

They call themselves EXO-K as their group name. These are the few guys that Kyungsoo opens up to a little but not too much.
