The Dreams I Gave Up

Description

The same way an arranged marriage is made, Baekyeol was born.

And does everything turn into a happily ever after that easily?

The struggle of Baekhyun to keep his sanity and his dreams...

"I wanted to build this invisible wall between us so I could survive."

Foreword

My only dream was to be a singer.

To be on the stage and hear my voice ring throughout the crowds, and be able to see the tears on the faces of the people in front of me.

That dream soon morphed into being part of a brotherhood. A group of other dreamers like me, who would struggle with me, and together we would fight to keep enchanting audiences with our performances.

I wanted brothers.

Not a guy who I was latched onto 24/7 as long as I was in front of cameras and fans.

Not a guy who made me squeamish with his presence, who made me disgusted of almost all mankind.

I am not a god.

I am a person with faults, a person who can get annoyed.

I am Byun Baekhyun.

And I am almost ready to kill him.

Author's note:

Hey guys! I came up with this when I read an article written by a former SM trainee. I don't really disapprove of Baekyeol, but the idea of a person struggling to keep up a pretense intrigued me. Any suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated, since Baekhyun is not the only one struggling here :3

Really looking forward to the next chapter:D
It feels really good to read realistic things since I'm not a big fan of those shipping and things:P I hope I'm not offending anyone. It's just my own opinion...
Whatever it is, I'll be waiting patiently for the next chapter author-nim^^
