embarras de choix

Description

In the end, our choices make us who we are. The circumstances we stumbled upon, the people that came into our lives, people that left and places we chose to go make us, us. My name is Baekhyun, and I think I made the wrong choice. 

Foreword

My name is Byun Baekhyun. I’m 20. I live in New York. My best friend is my cat and my next best friend is a girl named Alex. I go to NYU, majoring in Economics. My daily routine consists of getting up, getting ready, eating, getting some internet time, going to school, coming back, repeating the third and fourth step until it’s time for bed. I’m not exciting, my life is not exciting, the only thing that could spark someone’s interest about me is my gorgeous, cheery, too-perfect-to-be-real best friend. I’m talking about my cat, but sure, Alex is great too. Nah, I’m kidding. Alex makes my life easier, she’s the light to my shadow and I love her so much, I could die for her. She’s been my friend ever since I moved to America, 8 years ago, when my family needed to start over. I was really afraid of my new school and the people who were in it, but she was the first person to smile and ask me my name. We got through, we understood each other, and here we are, 8 years and counting. Many people ask us why we are not dating, but truth be told, I can’t date her. She’s my best friend and it would ruin everything. Also, I’m not really attracted to her, she kind of lacks the necessary things for me to be attracted to, and no, no big s and . She knows everything about me, so it’s not a surprise to her. When she found out, the first thing she told me was: “Your style for a gay man, are you sure?”. Then I explained to her all about stereotypes and things she should never say in front of me ever again and we were good. Things have been going great for me. Even though Alex is my person, I have some other friends, including Alex’s boyfriend, Chanyeol. They have been together for a long time now, almost one year next month. My life is going the way I wanted it to go, and I don’t regret any of my choices. Or do I?

 

~~~Characters~~~

Byun Baekhyun - that's me, the one and only. You're going to learn a lot about me from what I'm going to tell you, so to keep things short, I may not be who you think I am, but I could be. Complicated, right?

Alexandra Santos - my girl, the love of my life, the apple of my eyes, etc. etc. She's a great girl, really sweet and kind, really the best best friend someone could hope for. She will be there for you when no one is, and expect nothing in return. Also, it doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous. No wonder boys fly to her all the time, but she chose only one of them, and I dare say that she made no mistake

Park Chanyeol - the man who stole my girl. Just kidding, they're perfect for each other, they complement each other so well, you wouldn't believe they've only met one year ago. He's the one who makes jokes and always takes the word, whereas she's kind of timid and hates speaking in front of a big crowd. They're both great people and I'm glad I have them in my life. I love them both and it's scary that Chanyeol means so much to me, when I've only known him for such a short time. But I guess that's the Park effect.

Chapter 1 coming soon :D
