The sound of my morning alarm went off and I knew once again that it was time to get up. Groaning, I shifted around hoping to stretch out before throwing my legs off the side of the bed and standing up. Raising my hands over my head, I leaned first to my left then to my right getting the last late night kinks out of my spine. Sighing, I started my morning routine, taking my first steps towards the shower. Once finished, I dried myself off and slipped on my uniform, trugging downstairs. Expecting my mother to be once again running around late for work yelling, I was surprised when I found the kitchen silent and empty. I looked around, my face held with uncertainty before taking a couple steps backwards. I closed my eyes and breathed in before walking once again into the kitchen. Still silent. Still empty. A sound of confusion left my mouth and I walked around the kitchen, my eyes darting to find the familiar figure. When I couldn't find her, I layed my hand on top of the counter and sighed. That's when it cought me. Tilting my head up, I was met with a sticky note stuck right in the middle of the fridge. Walking over to it, I ripped it off holding it between my hands.

Dear Kyungsoo,

Had to head of to work early. Your lunch is in the fridge. xoxo

Work. Early. In the same sentence. Well that was a first. I couldn't help but laugh a little before scrunching the note up and throwing it in the trash. Taking my hand, I opened up the fridge and grabbed my lunch before going to the counter where a glass of water and my pills laid. Picking up the pills, I threw them in my mouth and chugged the glass of water, feeling as they slipped down my throat, before walking to the door, putting on my shoes, and slipping out of the house. Trugging along the side walk, I cursed under my breath when I saw the bus coming to a stop and people were loading on. My walk turned into a run and I watched as the door shut and the bus was ready to leave. Waving my arms around, I barely made it, coming to a halt in front of the closed door. The bus driver didn't even blink an eyelash, probably used to it, as the door opened up and I jumped in. Swiping my card and giving him a quick thanks, the bus once again started and filled like every other day, I stood standing, my hand raised above me to hold on to one of the bars. Soon the sound of the bus and the people blurred into one low hum and with the swaying motion I felt myself fall into thoughts about yesterday, about what the boy with the fiery eyes had told me. Wolves have packs. I closed my eyes. But what if they don't want me? What if they don't accept me into their pack? Then I go back to who I am, the lone wolf. Truthfully, I didn't know if that was what I wanted.

Grabbing my literature book, I shut my locker before turning and leaning so that my back was up against it. Clutching the book in my arms, I closed my eyes, letting the back of my head rest against the cool metal.

Calm down Kyungsoo. Today is just like any other day. Don't expect something, you'll only be disapointed.

But doing is a lot harder then saying. I did expect something, I just didn't know what. Sighing, I opened my eyes and everything flowed back into place. The students, the noise, the sound of chattering, footsteps, lockers and doors being opened and closed. The sound of backpacks being zipped. The sound gossiping and laughing. The sound of my heart being against my chest as I walked up the steps heading to my classroom. Finishing the last steps, I walked to the door before stopping in front of it. I enhaled deeply before exhaling, taking a step under the doorway. In that moment, nothing happened. I stepped through the doorway and everyone was doing what they did every morning. The group at the front corner of the classroom was all there, talking, laughing. I let my gaze slip towards them, looking for this time I didn't know what. And soon after that second went of me looking at nothing, I walked on forward, going to my seat and setting my bag down, slipping into the chair. I felt it at that moment. Disappointment. For what? Expectation. Sighing, I went to grab my notebooks and unvoluntary looked up meeting eyes with the boy. This time I didn't break contact and we looked at each other for a moment before a smiled split across his face, catching me by surprise. I found myself giving a small smile in return and just as I did, the teacher walked right on in and everyone had stopped what they were doing, their attention towards the man, including the boy with the fiery eyes.

The bell rang and I grabbed my stuff, packing it all away into my backpack. Getting up ready to leave, I turned, running into something. Looking up, I was met with the same boy who had given me that unexpected smile at the beginning of class. He apologized and I muttered an apology also in return.

"So." He began looking at me intently and I just blinked up at him.

"Did you think about my offer?"

I shrugged,

"Are you sure that I'm not intruding."

"Of course not Kyungsoo, they'll love you."

"How do you know?"

He rested his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it lightly.

"Because, what is there not to like?"

My eyes widened and he just smiled. Letting go of my shoulder he began to walk out of the room. Under the doorway, he placed his hand on the sill, turning back towards me.

"I'll see you soon, Kyungsoo."

And with that he disappeared into the hallway leaving me standing there all the more confused.

_____________

The rest of the day seemed to zoom by. It felt as if I only blinked and it was already lunch time. Placing all my stuff into my locker, it took me a couple of seconds for me to realize that someone was calling my name. I looked to find him making his way towards me, oblivious to all the others stares.

"Kyungsoo."

"Kyungsoo. Hey, I've been looking for you."

He was now standing next to me, his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.

"Are you ok?" I asked reaching my hand to his shoulder, but then thought about it, letting it fall dead to my side.

He looked up at me before fully standing straight nodding,

"I'm fine, I'm just eager."

"Eager? If your hungry, I have some extra food." I said pointing to my bag and he just looked at me laughing.

"You're funny Kyungsoo."

I didn't get it.

"I'm not eager for food." He began grabbing my arm,

"I'm eager for you to meet the rest of the pack."

I followed him as he dragged me through the hallways, down the stairs, past the courtyard, into a room. Coming to a stop, he knocked a couple of times and the door opened, letting us slip in. Once inside, he let go of my arm, greeting and hugging each person. I just stood there, shuffling my feet, not knowing what to do. Finishing he walked back towards me, throwing his arm around my shoulder, and the rest of the group just looked at me.

"Guys, I want you to meet, Kyungsoo."

They all just looked at me and I gulped. The moment of truth, either I'm accepted or utterly rejected. I held my breath as their gaze racked me up and down. I shivered from the tension and I looked down, knowing the answer. Turning slowly ready to leave, my heart almost gave out when a person screamed,

"Ayooo!! It's nice to finally meet you Mr. Lone wolf."

I turned back to see a giant with a goofy grin on its face making its way towards me. Not sure what to do, I just stood there as he loomed over me before trapping me in his long arms and lifting me up. I felt all my breath leave me and when he put me down all I could do was look at him catching my breath.

"The name's Chanyeol aka the happy virus, but you can call me giant."

Still holding that goofy grin, I gave him a nod. I then watched as a boy almost half his height shove him to the side smiling at me,

"Move it Channie. Hi there, my name is Baekhyun aka the prince of eyeliner, but you can call me bacon."

Bacon? I titled my head confused until I said his name in my head, connecting it. Holding is hand out, I reached my own out. He grabbed it before pulling me into a hug.

"It's nice to meet you Mr. Mysterious."

I just nodded as he let go, taking a step back.

"Hi, my name is Sehun aka Mr. Lisp, but you can call me... well Sehun I guess."

He shrugged before walking up to me and giving me a light hug.

"It's nice to me you."

I nodded and as he stepped to the side a person stepped forward,

"Hello, my name is Suho aka. sunnouncer, but you can call me.." Before he could finish Chaneyol or I guess giant jumped in

"Umma." Making everyone laugh.

Suho just scratched the back of his neck smiling,

"You could call me that."

Then he walked up to me giving me a gentle hug,

"It's nice to meet you."

Nodding, he stepped back and I just looked at all of them.

"Well go on, introduce yourself." The boy with the fiery eyes said giving me a light push of encouragment.

I coughed,

"Um well my name is Kyungsoo aka. Mr. Lone Wolf."

"Wait what's your nickname?" Chanyeol asked and they all looked at me.

"Um...well I don't really have one." I shrugged and Baekhyun stepped forward crossing his arms.

"Hmm. What's your full name?"

"Do Kyungsoo."

"Do....do kyungsoo...hm.." He kept muttering my name and soon he snapped his fingers making me jump.

"D.O. That doesn't sound too bad, what do you guys think?" He asked turning to the rest of the group.

"Or you could call him doughnut eyes." Chanyeol snickered and Baekhyun just hit him.

"I like D.O. How about it Kyungsoo. Can we call you D.O?"

I looked at them one by one each giving me a smile before I turned to the one boy who has been standing there and observing. Giving him a 'what do you think' look he just came up to me once again wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"I think it's perfect."

Nodding I couldn't help but ask,

"And you, what is your nickname."

"Me? Well my name is Jongin aka. Mr. Kkamjong, but you can call me Kai."

Kai. The name seem to set itself into my brain, echoing through my mind. For some reason, it felt right, it felt perfect and as he smiled and said

"Welcome to the pack, D.O."

I finally felt myself relax.

Laying my head on the desk, I couldn't contain the smile that kept creeping its way to my face every second. As much as I didn't want today to effect me, it did and I felt my body vibrate in excitment. Having my own minnie spaz attack, I sat up, happily grabbing the journal that laid secretly between two textbooks. Opening it to an empty page, I grabbed a pen impatiently and began to wrote,

November 20, 2013

Dear Diary,

I no longer have to bear the name the lone wolf.

That part of me has died and in return,

I was born a new man,

A man with the name D.O.

My expectations did not disappoint.

In fact,

They made me eager.

Eager for the future,

The future I once wanted to run away from.

Should I be so happy?

When I know soon,

Soon my fate will come,

And disaster will strike.

Is this my last fleeting happiness?

Before all is taken away,

And what I'm left with

Is darkness.

- Do Kyungsoo
