Tao is a sensitive guy by nature, so when curiousity took a toll on him, he started to read what fans talk about him online. Mainly the negative comments. Due to this, Tao gets influenced to try to change himself to please others, but some members in EXO are worried for what it would affect his future.

(school au) Huang Zitao--a freshman--who prefers to be called Tao has been avoided by his classmate Chanyeol. Everytime he tries to talk or even at least look at him, the large eared giant would avoid him or worse if Tao clings 'way too hard'. Tao gets depressed by this fact, making Xiumin, his senior best friend, pretty much pissed, since he has a crush on the tall panda boy. Xiumin tries to comfort him as an effort to get Tao to look at him, rather than Chanyeol.

When they were younger--around 10 or so, they went to China for a month long trip. The vacationers consisted of Xiumin, Sehun, Chanyeol, Kyungsoo, Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, and Kai. During their pleasant time in China, they made some friends who decided to move back with them to South Korea. The friends who came back with them were Luhan, Kris, and Lay. But before they all went back to Korea, they came across an orphanage and there lived a frail, sweet orphan that went by the name Zitao.

"Can I join you guys?" "I'm not a baby," "The members are ignoring me and mad at me,'' "Hyung !! I asked you !!" "I'm not a killer! I'm innocent!" -Tao-   "You're a killer,"
