Bend or Break

Description

In Nuce

Returning to high school after a long break isn’t something anyone would want to do – especially not someone who may or may not have a social anxiety disorder and doesn’t have the strength to deal with social interactions whatsoever.

Without any other alternatives however, this is exactly what Baekhyun has to do, and he not only dreads the amounts of catching up he has to do on his school work, but is terrified of what other horrible experiences lie in wait for him.

His plan for the two years he has left? To lay low and hope he’s left to his own devices.

Pity we all know life doesn’t quite work that way.

Foreword

So... I figured what story to better start my membership with than a highschool!AU thinga-majing? 

I'll let you know right away that although other EXO members will be mentioned, and possibly make a few appearances, this story will be pretty Baekhyun-centric with a lot of Chen and a fair bit of Chanyeol mixed in. If that's a problem and not what you were wanting... sorry - not really - but this story might not be to your liking.

Also, I'm not a very fast writer, but I'm fairly commited to finishing this story since I have some... ideas... for... sequels... or whatever we call them, and can't wait to start writing out the stories of my other beloved OTPs. (Esp. TaoHun because my feels are all over the place because of their stupid little vacation in Qingdao - bless the boys for making my weekend.)

Anyhow, I would love it if you - once the chapters start coming up - drop a comment with some feedback! Not gonna make you though, just gonna sit here and stare at you with puppy eyes until you succumb. Yeah. Think About that.

 

Thanks for stopping by! <3

Chapter 6: I am so in love with this. I don't know why but it's truly hard to find good baekchen fics and I'm really happy i came across yours. I can relate like a lot with Baekhyun and it makes me enjoy the story even more. It also makes me feel warm inside to see he opens up to someone that's not his father.
I enjoy your writing very much. It gets me hooked up so I just want to let you know you do an amazing job with this!

I saw your post in the subscriber feed and I hope you will continue to write this story even despite the most recent... news. I love your story and even if Baekhyun is dating Taeyeon in real life, I'll always ship him with Jongdae; I'm delusional that way xD Please keep writing BaekChen, author-nim! :) TaoRis shippers still write TaoRis stories, so why should we stop? xD

Chapter 6: Hello! I just read the latest chapter and dropped by to tell you how much I love the story :D Your writing flows so well and the way you portray Baekhyun's emotions is just so realistic... Moreover, I just love the main couple! I ship BaekChen, and their relationship is just so beautiful. Plus, that conversation they had at the end of this chapter... I really like how Baekhyun opened up this time and, even though they had that little argument, they both apologized, showing that they really care for each other.
I really can't wait for the next update (don't feel pressured though, just write whenever you feel like it xD) and I want to see what happens with Jongdae's friends... Thank you so much for this awesome chapter!

Chapter 6: So... I'm completely in love with your story! :D What exactly do I love about it?

1) That it is Baekhyun centric and that BaekChen is the main couple
2) That Baekhyun's email is kkaepsong xD
3) How realistic it is (I had to leave school for a couple years because of health so I can say from personal experience that returning is VERY difficult)
4) Your style of writing (not overly detailed, but still beautifully written)
5) The pace (thank you for not rushing the plot, taking your time makes it so much better ^.^)
6) The way you smoothly introduce the other EXO members (Chanyeol as Chen's best friend is perfect and Xiumin's character is wonderfully accurate)
7) The subtle way you involve romance even though the couple is nowhere near being together (so. much. chemistry between them! Always blushing around each other xD )
8) The way Baekhyun still has his amazing personality even with his issues (their conversation in the cafe definitely had me smiling)

And so much more! I am seriously in love with this story ^.^ Thank you for writing BaekChen, the world needs more of this ship xD I will patiently await an update, author-nim :) Oh, and, I am also following you as an author now so I can read more of your awesome stories (loved the SeTao oneshot, by the way) ^.^
