It was a little nerve-racking for little Kris as he held onto his mother’s skirt, refusing to let go. His mother sighed before squatting down and patted him on the head since it was rare for her usually stoic son to be so nervous.

“Yifan, Mummy will pick you up after school.” Little Kris shook his head. “Mummy will bring you to McDonald, okay?”

It was a hard choice to make for little Kris because as much as he liked McDonald, the prospect of walking into the day care alone was…simply terrifying.

“Okay, Mummy will bring you to your classroom then.” Little Kris nodded happily as he slipped his hand into his mother's and made their way to his classroom.

The hallway was decorated  in extremely bright colours with all sort of drawings tacked on the wall. If there is one thing Kris was proud of, it would be his flawless drawing which his mother had praised to heaven several times.

“Okay, Yifan. We are here now. Go on.” His mother gave him a little push and smiled at him which did nothing to settle his nerves. But alas, he was a man albeit a little small but still a man nevertheless and man have to do what a man needs to do.

Little Kris straightened his back and knocked onto the door, the teacher in the class waved for him to come in. “Okay, class! We have a new student here!”

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to give their full attention to little Kris. All of them were curious about the new kid on block who looked really mature compared to everyone else.

As much as Kris wanted to smile, his face was frozen in place because they looked at him as though he came from other planet and had a laser gun under his shirt, ready to shoot all of them at any moment.

“I am Kris.” He bowed politely and had the teacher cooed about who well-mannered he was. “I like to draw.”

“Any other questions you want to ask Kris here?” The teacher directed the question to the rowdy class who was surprisingly quiet for once.

All at once everyone started shouted their question. The teacher should have known to ask them that.

“What do you have an English name?”

“Why do you look so angry?”

“Why are you so tall?”

“Do you like angry bird?”

“Can I see your drawing?”

The teacher gave an indulgent smile at all of them before clapping her hands to get them to quieten down. “Okay, since all of you have so many question for Kris. You can ask him later during break.”

A chorus of ‘Okay’ could be heard as the teacher assigned Kris to sit beside a boy who smiled at him creepily.

 It had been a week since Kris had arrived at the day care center, everyone was really nice and he felt stupid for being so nervous.

There was Baekhyun who had a weird obsession with eyeliner and tend to wave it around like a wand. Baekhyun had offered to apply it for Kris once. Seeing that there wasn’t any problem, Kris had agreed to it but what he didn’t expect was Baekhyun was only good at applying it for himself and when Baekhyun poked his eyes one time too many, Kris had to excuse himself before he ended up blind.

Then there was Kyungsoo and Jongin who stuck together like glue. Kris realized that Jongin was really protective of the bug eyed boy and threatened to bite off anyone’s hand who dared to touch his precious Kyungsoo. Kris being new, didn’t know of this at first when he patted Kyungsoo on the head for being so cute and out of nowhere, out came Jongin who bit him on the wrist. That had become a painful lesson, Kris will never forget.

Sehun was an expressionless boy who didn’t like moving his facial muscle and tend not to react to anything. There was this one time when Kris accidentally kicked the soccer ball into Sehun’s face, the boy didn’t react or even show anything discomfort. Thinking that it was nothing serious, Kris turned his back only to hear Sehun muttered, “Kris hyung, blood is coming out of my nose.”

Then there was Luhan who looked like a girl until he flashed Kris…accidentally which managed to scar Kris for life and made him have nightmare for that one whole week.

Lay was like a goldfish not because of his eyes but his memory or the lack of therefor. Kris remembered vividly how he searched high and low for Lay’s phone when it was in the boy’s pocket all along.

Tao liked panda and he followed Suho like a lost puppy which Kris found totally cute because Tao might looked really scary, he was anything but that. He learnt that Tao liked to use his overwhelming cuteness to get everyone to do things for him so he tend to stay away from the little boy.

The troublemaker pair consisted of Xiumin and Chen, both of them were always whispering and pointing at the rest of them, making everyone afraid of what pranks they would come up with next and even more scared of being the next victim.

Last but not least, there was Park Chanyeol who was creepy. Kris had found the boy stalking him wherever he went and he was always smiling creepily at Kris. Oh, did Kris mention that he didn’t like Chanyeol?

They had a drawing class recently and Kris was eager to show off his drawing. After he had finished colouring his picture, he shown it proudly to the class who cheered and said that it was good except for Park Chanyeol who laughed in his face and told him that his drawing was the worst he had ever seen.

That was his first public humiliation and Kris had ran straight to the toilet to cry because everyone said that his drawing was nice so who was Park Chanyeol to say that it was not? Kris strived to ignore Park Chanyeol ever since then.

Chanyeol felt bad for making the new guy cried because it wasn’t his intention to do so, he merely wanted the new guy’s attention since he gave it to everyone but him. He sighed and Baekhyun, being his best friend, patted him on the shoulder and told him that he will patched them up.

Chanyeol didn’t have a good feeling about this, not at all.

He was right, it was stupid of him to believe in Baekhyun because none of Baekhyun’s idea ever worked. His best friend had locked Kris and Chanyeol in the same room, telling them to be friends if not he is not letting them out.

Chanyeol must stopped Baekhyun from hanging out too much with Chen and Xiumin, he was certain that it was the troublemaker’s doing for this situation he was in. He sighed and turned to face Kris who was pointedly ignoring him.

“I am sorry.” He muttered quietly. “Your drawing is nice.”

“Don’t lie!” Kris told him angrily. “You only said that because you don’t want to be in the same room as me!”

“No! I am not lying!” Chanyeol shouted. “I – “

“Why do you hate me?” Kris started shouting so as not to lose to Chanyeol. “I never do anything to you!”

“I don’t hate you!” Chanyeol tried to get his point across. “I like you!”

“What –“

Chanyeol immediately covered his mouth because it wasn’t supposed to come out this way, he was supposed to secretly protect Kris and melt the guy slowly with his charming smile.

Seeing how he had said it out already, Chanyeol decided to continue on. “I like you and I want to be your friend! You speak to everyone else but not me!”

“I-“

“I just wanted to be your friend.” Chanyeol’s voice dropped to a whisper. “I want you to like me as well.”

It was shocking that the guy who he thought hate him actually want to be his friend and Kris felt so bad for ignoring Chanyeol.

Kris held out his hand for Chanyeol, “Please be my best friend.”

Ever since then the both of them had been attached at the hip, everyway Kris goes…Chanyeol will be there. It was scary how Kris’s face would soften and smile at Chanyeol because Kris usually don’t smile around them.

In fact, Kris had given Chanyeol special permission to call him ‘Yifan’, something that the rest of the class were banned from calling.

“Yifan! Do you like me?” Chanyeol suddenly asked one day. “I really like you! I love you because you are the best!”

Kris blushed a light pink as he felt his face heating up, “I like you as well.”

“Why do you like me?” Chanyeol tilted his head to the side. “I like you because you are really pretty and you can draw and you are tall…I like everything about you!”

Kris smiled at that before whispering, “I like you because you are interesting and different but most of all…because you are Park Chanyeol.”

Unknown to the both of them, the rest of the class had heard the confession and was doing gagging action at the side.
