Byun Baekhyun has always been popular. 

He has always been funny.

He has always been bold.

He has always had something to say.

The problem is, being popular doesn't mean people really like you, it just means you stand out. Sometimes the reason you stand out isn't even a good one. 

Loud. The one word Baekhyun keeps hearing about himself. He's popular sure, but it's easy to intimidate or annoy people when you seem obnoxious. 

On the inside, Baekhyun isn't any of those things. 

On the inside Baekhyun has a big heart. 

On the inside Baekhyun is lonely. 

Lately, he's been really wondering if anyone will ever stop hearing the noise and hear his heart. Someone who doesn't think he's quite so loud. 

Still, he is popular, and he plays the part well. He even pretends to be a jerk when he isn't one. He even plays pranks on other kids in school. Ones who aren't cool. 

He also takes bets.

Bets like the one he took to pretend to like a boy in their class. Baekhyun wasn't gay or anything-really. He didn't think the boy was kind of cute in a nerdy way or anything-really.

Park Chanyeol was always popular. 

He was always funny.

He was always loud.

Until he got transferred to a new school in the middle of the year. His school had been pretty different. In this school people weren't quite so nice. It was hard to make friends here. Her used to be popular but here he was also a lot of other things.

He was annoying.

He was too nice.

He was nerdy. 

He found himself quickly drawing inwards. Quietly sitting at the back of the class. His eyes landed on a special someone more often then not. He hadn't put much thought into his uality before, but he was quickly realizing he had a crush.

On a boy.

He was worried about it for a while. Until he found himself looking up into the face of that had been giving him butterflies all year. That pretty face mumbling something incoherent about a date. 

That pretty face belonged to none other than one Byun Baekhyun.
