Park Chanyeol’s POV

“Master Chanyeol, Wake Up you’re late!!!”

“Uggh five more minutes auntie, I couldn’t sleep a wink last night”

“No dear, you have hardly any time left, if you don’t leave in fifteen minutes you will miss the School Bus”

“Oh no”

I rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower and while sloppily stepping out in my uniform, fortunately my bag was packed.

“Master Chanyeol take this, I’ve packed some toast for you eat this in the school bus, Ok “

I flashed thumbs up to auntie and run out, School bus driver stops at the T – point near my house I quickly enter the bus and take my seat near the window, Next time I should really set a time to have these deep case – related conversation with dad probably weekends would be the best.

“Ah my iPod”

‘Morning Chanyeol-ah” waved my friend Kim Jongin

“Morning Jong in-ah” I replied absentmindedly

‘What are searching for chinguyaa... you know usually it’s me misplacing and losing my stuff...yah are you getting such habits from me hehe ”

“Aigoo Jong in--”

“Is this yours...uh Sunbaenim ...?”

I look up to see a short looking guy with droopy eyes does he know me?

“Oh, I must’ve dropped it while entering, thank you ...your name?

“Baekhyun ... I’m in 7th grade ” he replied forcing a smile

He seemed younger for a 7^th grader though

“Nice to meet you, I’m Park Chanyeol, 9th grade”

I approach him to shake hands which he did smiling softly.

I’ve noticed him on the bus a few times; he always seems to be sitting alone kind of in his own bubble.

“Chanyeol- ah let's go we’ve reached” Jong in shouted.

I guess I was too engrossed noticing Baekhyun I didn’t realize we reached; Baekhyun was checking his bag before leaving.

“See you later,” I said waving towards him

“Ok Sunbaenim” he replied bowing a little

Baekhyun’s Pov

My body still aches from yesterday; I slowly climb into the school bus as when I see an iPod with a red –orangish metallic cover lying on the low floor of the bus.

I bend to pick it up, even while bending my right side hurts, Aiggo...

I see one guy at the far end of bus searching for something, I assume this is his 

Uh should I addresses him as sunbae, he does seem like one

“Is this yours um...? Sunbaenim”

He immediately looked up; he had friendly features apart from that right now he looked like a confused puppy with elfish ears.

The entire interaction he was quite polite and nice

I guess he is one of the first persons who spoke with me like that ever since I’ve joined middle school.

The entire day went by as usual without any trouble; fortunately those bullies were at bay for now.

Third-person Pov

Baekhyun’s entire world revolved around trying to survive from the daily trials he had to undergo to live a normal life like every middle schooler did, at times he realized he didn’t have any friends he could go to, every time he would make one somehow they would either find him too boring or weird even shabby. There were times which happened to frequently that he did not have any explanation of why he had marks, why he would look tired or why his nails weren’t cut properly. That was when Baekhyun decided that he was maybe better off without a company better than opening your heart to people who would love to create gossip about the low moments of your life. He had shut down himself from mingling with classmates, he had stopped trying to portray an image as people around had already done that part, no matter how hard he tries, he would always remain an object of criticism.

Park Chanyeol’s Pov

“Ya Park Chanyeol” its Minseok, he is one of the most intelligent kids in our class but there is a thing about him he would always study and then would convince others to hang out with him after studying

But this time I won’t  fall into his trap

“Uh Minseok-ah” I replied

“I was thinking lets all of us hang out at Noraebang today ..hm what do you think ?”

“Uh I actually have some work, you know right my dad is a prosecutor and he gives me some knowledge sessions and all”

“Hmm”

“Yeah  ... it's one of those nights Seok-ahh, Next time we will hang out next for sure”

I said while showing him thumbs up with both my hands.

“Araseo but next time I won’t let you go okay “

He said pointing his index finger giving me the “eye –look” those cat eyes

“Alright my friend ”

I waved him bye and went my way.
