Foreword
What is your dream?
Note: This is a story that delves into the Deaf Culture. With my background knowledge and experience, I will do my best to portray this fascinating world to give you a glimpse of what it's like. It is not my intention to offend, mock, or make fun of this group. I will introduce readers into the hardships, the stereotypes, sign language, and the everyday life of the Deaf. :)

Choi Ren
Age 24. Graduated University at the age of 22. Under his mother's influence, he sought out a degree in Deaf education. Afraid of disappointing his parents, he put his own dreams aside to fulfill his parents' wishes. Finally wanting to take charge of his own life for once, he decided to go back to University to pursue his degree in fashion, teaching his classes in the morning and attending school at night. When he gets his internship with Pledis, he becomes the style coordinator for DREAM.
J R
Age 24. A skilled dance choreographer under contract with Pledis. He is in charge of coming up with DREAM's newest routines. A childhood friend of Ren's. When he heard about Ren needing an internship in order to graduate, he talked to the CEO of Pledis and got Ren the not-so-sought-after job of being DREAM's stylist. Although he has feelings for Ren, he keeps them hidden in fear that he'll lose Ren forever. Has big dreams of pursuing a permanent spot on Broadway.
Kang Baekho
Age 25. Lead vocalist for DREAM. After a less-than-graceful first encounter with Ren, he takes it upon himself to personally make Ren's life a living hell, torturing him with every chance he gets in hopes of making Ren quit. Has an overcompulsive personality; he sticks to a tight schedule and is very orderly and clean and can't stand the messy, untimely way Ren lives. He continues to push Ren away until an accident threatens everything he's ever known.
Kwak Aron
Age 27. Rapper for DREAM. Suffers from depression after experiencing a dark, mysterious time in his life before Pledis, therefore always comes across as melancholic and empathetic. A serious cell phone addict. Will often perform fanservice with Minhyun under contract with Pledis but has no real feelings for him. Doesn't dislike or like Ren, merely finding him annoying. Although quite serious 90% of the time, he is the number one troublemaker when it comes to coming up with plans to toy with their stylist.
Hwang Minhyun
Age 25. Sub-vocalist and visual for DREAM. Nicknamed "Prince Hwang Minhyun." Although quite charming and kind to Ren, he can't resist joining in the fun and teasing their stylist. He is the friend, aside from JR, that Ren confides in. Has feelings for Aron. Obsessed with his looks and is plagued by plastic surgery rumors from the media, to which he denies.
