Description

Chen tries his best to remain unrecognized while encountering a talkative girl in a laundromat, but once they get to talking about music--

Foreword

This was requested by beautycomesfromsmiling on tumblr: a story in which you meet Chen for the first time. I've decided to write this one in third-person, with a special emphasis on Chen's point-of-view and his inner monologue. Please enjoy it!

Chapter 2: I see that this was published in '12. Wow. I like Ha Yoon a lot. And I hope EXO has met many, many fans like her in real life.

Reading this six years later and looking back on their illustrious career; it's really something else.
^^ i love that this one is about Chen, too. Beautifully written.

Chapter 2: Their reactions are really amusing. This is a very great way to send some message to the dreamers out there, especially about fame and the reality that fame leads someone to. Hayoon reminds me of someone, and I, like the other readers, wish that Chen could meet someone like her. This is truly wonderful!

Chapter 1: Ohohohoho. The girl's guess at the end is totally right. She's so lucky to ever encounter something like this ;A; I like her personality here, and how Chen describes her - bright eyes, full of zeal, pride, passion (something like that) - it reminds me of the Aries personality. I also agree with the previous comment that Chen becomes talkative once he's comfortable. That's what I notice about him. I'm so excited for the girl's reaction in the next chapter :')

Chapter 2: Wow..this is a great two-shots..it feels so real and you describe it like you're experienced yourself in entertainment industry..really respect Hayoon(in another word - you, since you're the author)..and deep in me, i really hope Jongdae can meet someone like this, to remind and support his own dream :)
Anyway for chen's character, i think he's talkative when he is comfortable with others..and i know you wrote this looong ago so just sharing what i thought of him ^.^
good job on writing this.. // thumbs up

Chapter 2: I love that you give the girl her name! Hehe
Hayoon suits her in some way. :)
And yeah, this is pretty heavy stuff..
It would be great if Chen really meets a fangirl like that
