You, Amy Wu, were born in Vancouver, Canada. You were raised only by your mother and your older brother. You were always a quiet and polite child, a great student and the best little sister a boy could ever want. Learning new languages was something that you loved to do and because of your love for them you ended up speaking five languages fluently – Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Korean and French. Well French wasn’t really your thing but you still knew how to communicate with people and not mess up your words. Your neighbor, who was the same age as you, helped you out with your Korean since you guys were practically best friends since diapers. He was someone you could trust and he was always there when you needed him.

 Sadly, when you turned thirteen you moved to Seoul, South Korea with you mother and brother because of the family business and that was the last time you two saw each other but that didn’t mean you didn’t keep in touch. Whenever you had the time you two would always chat and tell the other how your day was and some other random things. At first you were broken by the fact that you’re moving on the other side of the world where you didn’t even have friends and everything was completely different but since you were still just a kid you got used to it within a month or even less.

It’s been around three years already since you moved to Korea and everything was going perfectly well. You made a few friends there and were happy with your life even though you really did miss that idiot back in Vancouver. When you had free time you’d hang out with your friends or would help at home. Your mother was really thankful that she had both you and your brother with her. She would always tell you how much she loves you and how lucky she was to have the two of you as her little babies. Your brother Kris was already in college and you were in you second year of high school. Teachers would always complement you and say you are a great student and that more people should be like you, they said that you were just perfect. Despite the fact that you were an excellent student and you were always ranking 1st that didn’t mean you were a nerd. No, you were just a normal teenager. It was that you were always good at studying and you remembered things quickly.

It was Monday morning and you were lying on the top of your desk with your head buried in your hands waiting for the teacher to come and start the first lesson for the day. Then you heard the girls outside the room that were squealing like crazy. *Why so early in the morning?* You thought and groaned. Then you felt someone pat your shoulder. When you slowly looked up you were greeted by your best friend's smile.

“What’s up cutie?” she said and you chuckled.

“I’m trying to sleep a little but those whales outside are annoying as hell. Why are they screaming like that? Perhaps they saw a spider?” Miyoung laughed and sat next to you and shook her head.

“I heard there is this new guy who is like extremely hot, y and handsome. I also heard he is a year older than us.” She said and you rolled your eyes. Of course it would be a guy the reason for those dying whales noises.

Outside in the hallway a young and very charming boy was desperately trying to find his classroom. He was looking at every door he passed but still nothing. And all those people who were ogling him and some were even following him were slightly irritating him.

“404…404…. Where is it?” he kept on looking around. Every single girl in the hallway was talking about him and his good looks.

“404….OH here it is.” He smiled to himself and went inside. Just as he closed the door all students turned to look at him. Baekhyun cleared his throat and went at the back. Before the lesson started his homeroom teacher told him to introduce himself to the student

"Hello,  my name is Byun Baekhyun. Please take care of me.” he said and then the teacher motioned him to sit down and he did as he was told.

Byun Baekhyun was raised raised in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province. He has an older brother by 7 years. Ever since he was a little kid he loved singing so his parents decided to move to Seoul so their son could get into a professional singing school. And here he was right now standing in one of the many rooms in Seoul Arts School. Because of his good looks Baekhyun always recieved unwanted attention. He wasn’t a super star and yet the girls treated him like he is some kind of a God wherever he went. He was tired of the daily confessions by girls who liked him only because of his looks. He didn’t want to get in a relationship based only on facial features – he wanted to find someone who’d love him because of his inside beauty. Whenever he said ‘no’ to the girls he added with a smile “The beautiful young face is only temporarily. It’s important what you have in your heart.” Because of his nice rejection the girls never really started to hate him. In fact some of them even found their soulmates and then thanked him for telling them to look at people’s inner beauty and not their appearance.

He was listening carefully to the lesson but somehow felt rather nervous. He was never like that though. Baekhyun was a guy with a nice and on-going personality. He could be a little naughty sometimes but hey, he was still a teenager just like everyone else. Among his friends he was known to be the one to always make them laugh. His angel-like voice when he sings was enough to melt icebergs. Even though he sometimes acted like a 5 year old he was serious when he needed to be. His plans for the future were something he was really serious about. Throughout his 17 years of life Baekhyun met a lot of people and not everyone were the way they acted in front of him and other people. There was that girl he used to like just two years ago because she was really sweet and nice to all her classmates and people just simply liked her. Her smile that reached her ears was the most adorable smile Baekhyun have ever seen in his life till then of course. But one day as he was strolling down the street he saw the girl with a group of guys. She was flirting with all of them and even made out with all of them. Then two little boys that were playing football near the girl and those boys hit her accidentally on the head and the two little boys went to quickly apologize to the noona they hit. And instead of telling them that it was okay and she was fine she started to yell at them and even hit them with the ball. Baekhyun was taken aback by her change of behavior and he then realize that people weren’t exactly the way they pretend to be in front of everyone. It’s not like he didn’t trust people after that – no, he wasn’t even close with her in the first place, it was just that he was simply attracted to her but it was mostly by her fake sweet personality but after he saw her true nature he changed his mind. This was one of the reasons he rejected girls that came to him to confess their “love”. Because people were good if not perfect at hiding their true nature.

All your classes had ended and now it was time for you to go to the singing club you were in. There were people older and younger than you. At first you were a bit uncomfortable with your seniors but as time passed by you all became friends. You were listening to music and were humming along with the lyrics when the door opened. You looked up and were greeted by a pair of burning hot chocolate brown orbs. Baekhyun was staring back at you and was mesmerized by your beauty. You then started to feel awkward and looked away. He then blinked his eyes and cleared his throat. One of the guys went to him and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Hey, you must be the new guy. Damn you really are handsome. No wonder all girls are you with their eyes. I’m Jongdae by the way but my friends call me Chen. It’s really nice to meet you.” Baekhyun chuckled lightly and nodded.

“I’m Baekhyun. It’s nice to meet you too.” He smiled and Jongdae smiled at him.

“Okay guys please pay some attention to me.” Joonmyun, the president of the club said but no one in the room seemed to notice him. Your eyes were glued to your phone screen while the other kids were singing and talking to each other. Baekhyun and Jongdae were talking about themselves and some other things. Joonmyun was staring at everyone like he was about to explode but yet again no one paid attention to him.

“YAH!” he yelled and then everyone stopped the things they were doing and looked at the president.

“Good. Now you’re paying attention. So, first of all I want all of you to greet our new member. Come here…what was your name again!?” he tilted his head aside and some of you giggled. Baekhyun stood up and went to Joonmyun and smiled.

“Hi, I'm Byun Baekhyun.” He said while bowing and smiled afterwards.

“Ohh, right. Baekhyun! That was the name.” Joonmyun voiced out his taught and everyone laughed including Baekhyun.

“Tell us something about yourself Baekhyun” Joonmyun said after he cleared his throat. Embarrassing himself in front of everyone was something like a habit to him already. Well, he managed to make you all laugh so…

“Well, I’m 17 years old, uhhh singing is something I’ve loved ever since I was 2 years old. I have an older brother, ummm I come from Bucheon. I can’t really stop talking but right now I’m quite nervous and don’t have an idea of what I should say so I’ll just stop and sit down.” He said and everyone laughed at him and he sat down.

“Thank you for your introduction Baekhyun-shi. Now let’s start with the real thing. You all know, except for Baekhyun, that there is concert for the school’s 100 years anniversary and all clubs are going to do something about it. You all have a week to choose a song and then based on your skills our music teacher and I will pair you with someone. We’re going to go with 2 duos, 3 solos and 2 groups with max 5 people each for the concert. You can choose whatever song you want for the concert with your partner, if you have one but for this audition you’d have a certain song to sing by the teacher later on. I know you’d want to sing whatever song you’d like for both the concert and the audition but it’s not me who decides. That’s all I had to say. Thank you, for giving me your attention – that’s a first.” He finished and yet once again the room erupted with laughter.

It’s been exactly one week after the announcement for the audition and you were a little nervous of how you’re going to do it but it turned out well. You chose to sing Lyn’s ‘My Destiny’ as you were given a balad to sing. Everyone was listening to you with their jaws hung open. You were so tiny but your voice was so powerful yet soothing. When you were hitting your high notes you closed your eyes. The feeling was there with you throughout the whole song. Some of the girls even cried. When it was Baekhyun’s turn to sing you glued your eyes on him. The moment his mouth opened and he started to sing everyone in the room widened their eyes and you swore you felt your heartbeat racing just by the sound of his magical voice. After everyone was done Joonmyun and Yunjae (your vocal teacher) started to split you all into teams.

“You can check the results in three hours from now. Thank you everyone for those amazing performances. You can go do your things now.” Yunjae said and you all did as told. You were sitting on a bench outside quietly listening to music. Music was like a drug to you. You couldn’t survive a day if you didn’t listen to your favorite songs and sing along. You closed your eyes and let the sun caress your features when suddenly something blocked the sun rays hitting your skin. You opened your eyes and saw Baekhyun looking down at you with an amused look.

“Your name is Amy Wu, right?” you nodded and he smiled.

“So, what song you want to do for the concert? Have you taught of it?” you tilted your head, confusion written all over your face.

“I’m your partner, didn’t you check the list?” you shook your head and he chuckled.“Is there something particular you want to sing?” you asked for the first time and he shook his head.

“I’m okay with everything. Is there something you have in mind?” he asked and you slightly nodded.

“I do but it’s not fair if I choose the song all by myself.” He nodded and smiled.

“Should we go with a slow song so to show off our strong vocals?” he asked and you giggled slightly.

“Maybe we should. I liked your performance. You have a great voice.” You whispered and a slight shade of pink covered your pale cheeks. Baekhyun smiled at that.

“I liked you performance too. You’re so tiny yet you have a powerful voice.” He chuckled and a darker shade of pink crept on your face.

“We should decide when we can practice and choose a song soon enough. We have just a month which is not that much.” He said and you nodded.

Since you started practicing for the concert you and Baekhyun slowly started to get closer with each other. You knew what he likes and dislikes, some stuff about his family, his friends, his life before he came to Seoul, he told you funny stories of himself when he was still little. You knew all of that. The same was with him. You told him pretty much everything about yourself. You both felt really comfortable around each other and you just trusted each other. You were now at his house eating homemade cookies by his mother after hours of practicing.

“Is there someone you miss? Like friends or family members. It hasn’t been that long since you moved here.” You said and took a sip from your strawberry milk.

“I miss my grandmother…and her cooking. She is like a goddess in the kitchen.” He said and you laughed.

"What?” he asked and raised an eyebrow at you.

“Nothing.” You said an
