Thank you to any of those who read this story. I hope you found it enjoyable, despite it's simplicity. Maybe I'll write a fanfic that's actually telling Bai Xian and Cànlié's story but I don't know. I'm not very good at writing something without a deadline... like the one my English teacher set for this assignment... I just wanted to share this with you all because why not? If I ever did write their story though I'd be using their Korean/Chinese names interchangeably. Oh and if it wasn't obvious, Baekhyun is Bai Xian's Korean name, given to him by Cànlié/Chanyeol. What a shocker. I'm rambing. Thanks again, for reading my story!
You don't have to if you don't want to but any subscriptions or comments would be nice, so I know people liked it (or not). Thanks again!
