"Ssam... Ssam.... Ssam... Psst, Ssam!"

Byun Baekhyun was walking along the hallway. Classes had begun hours ago and thankfully he had a free period. Walking along the South Building, he heard some students calling secretly towards him. He stop and turn around to see his students hiding away in the emergency staircase. The door creak open and the Class President was waving towards him, instructing him to come near. Baekhyun look around before walking towards them. As he neared the door, he was pull harshly inside and the door slam shut.

"Skipping class as one, huh? Impressive..." Baekhyun commented, smiling proudly at them for a bad reason. The students look at them proudly.

All of them were sitting at the stairs with their book in hand. Baekhyun couldn't help but feel proud to see them being together like this. Making a decision together eventhough it's something bad. Class teamwork is A* for them. Baekhyun turn to the Class President. He was wiping his foggy glasses and when he saw Baekhyun looking at him, he seems fidgety.

"Ssam, you won't tell on us right?" Jaemin asked. He's a good student. His parents is very strict and because of that Jaemin is an outcast but after Baekhyun came to the school, Jaemin found friends for the first time in his 17 years. Baekhyun teaches him to live his own life. Making his own choices and never be afraid to make mistake.

If you fall, get up and continue walking on the path you chosen. Each time you fall, never look back to see what cause you to fall. Tell yourself, I can do it. I know I can do it. I trust myself, I trust my abilities and I am confident in my abilities. I am unique. Each mistake you make, learn from it. Nobody in this crazy world is perfect if your parents said that they are, they are liars. Everyone make mistake and with our past mistake, we learn from it. Like I say, if you fall, get up. Each failure you experience will give you more strength to walk in your future. There's always a rainbow after every storm, I think that is what they say... You don't have to be too strong, it's okay to have weakness because you can improve more from your weakness. Society say we need to go to good school and get good grades, we need to be much better than everyone else and be a perfect person. But they forgot, we are not robots who can do everything they wanted, we are human. I don't want my students to have perfect grades, I want my students to achieve good grades. Society say, students need to get into good University but they forgot, with this hard pressure, it's killing their children slowly. I want my students to do the best they can, good University or not, it doesn't matter because you show a good performance. I don't want my students to commit any suicide. I don't want my students to be too stress about their grades. So, if you think you can't handle your life anymore and your parents are pressuring yourself too much, come and find me. I will help you. I will guide you till you can see the light.

Hearing Jaemin words, Baekhyun can't help but feel scandalous. He fake a gasped and touches his heart in hurt.

"I cannot believe you distrust my trust. I cannot believe you would question my loyalty. I cannot believe you would ask such question. Do you think I would betray you after my loyalty towards you for the past years and months of us together? I am ashamed that you distrust me. I am bleeding at your piercing words. I am..."

"We get it... Sorry, already... Seriously Ssam, should you be a drama queen everytime we have this conversation? I thought we agree never to be a diva inside class?" A.C, the Vice President asked. She couldn't help but roll her eyes. Byun Baekhyun and his antics again.

"Excuse you," Baekhyun pointed finger towards A.C. "I was known as the Drama King/Diva in my High School days and I am your Drama Club Head Teacher. So shut up. By the way, why are you all here. What lesson did you skip?"

After the arrival of Byun Baekhyun at their school, it became a hot topic that after a month, the whole students from Class 3-B joins Drama Club. The Club which Baekhyun look after and shortly after that, the same class joins Music Club, the same Club that Baekhyun look after in. The school was shock but seeing how the students publicly adore Byun Baekhyun, they couldn't do anything but agree.

"It's Gym." One of the students from behind reply. Baekhyun grim. He hates Gym Class. High School days were fun but Gym weren't. Stupid Dodgeball and rope climbling... That Coach Cha.... Byun Baekhyun still holds grudge on Coach Cha till this days. Who knows that Coach Cha still teaches in this school, the same school Baekhyun graduate. He hates him, till this day....

"Good for you... But,"Baekhyun paused. Wasn't the whole school was inform in the morning assmebly about a certain news. Did his students forget about the news or they didn't bother to hear it. Baekhyun thinks it's the second answer. "You do know that Gym Class for today is cancel right?"

"NO WAY! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

Baekhyun nodded at his students. The disbelieve look that they show make Baekhyun burst into laughter.

"See, I told you to listen to morning assembly but no~~~ you're too cool for them. Listen, Gym Class is cancel for 2 days because I heard rumors," Baekhyun paused. Everyone gets closer to hear the rumors. Juicy rumors... Everyone was excited even Baekhyun too. "that Coach Cha is finally tying the knot."

"Get out... You're joking right! No way! As the world finally gone mad. Coach Cha? With who?" They asked. Baekhyun smirked. If their reactions were this, wait till they hear the answer, it will blow their thoughts off.

"Nurse Yoo." Baekhyun answer and he was right. The reactions was epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! E-P-I-C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"That hottie Nurse Yoo?! No way! She's the hottest school staff aside from you, Ssam."

"I cannot believe that the va-va-voom Nurse Yoo would choose Coach Cha as her husband. What did she sees in him?!"

"This is preposterous! I demand she check her eyes out! I speak again, this is preposterous!!!!!!!"

"He could be her Uncle for crying out loud! I cannot believe this."

"Oh man, there's go my chances to ask her out."

"Wow, what they say is true. High School lifes sure are cray-cray..."

"I can never look at Nurse Yoo in the same light as before. She just... just... I'm speechless right now!"

"You can never look at Nurse Yoo in that light? What about us girls?! If Coach Cha look at Nurse Yoo who is the same as Ssam, imagine what he thinks of us girls?! Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!"

"Everything I know about school life is a lie..."

"Well as a saying goes, Age is just a number. Love is beyond all ages."

"What? No! Love is beyond words! Not all ages... Well there's another saying that Love is Blind and it is true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Baekhyun laughed. He then clap his hand, silencing all of them. When he gets their attention he speaks.

"Imagine their first night..." Baekhyun whisper seductively. The students grew pale.

"Ohmygosh, Ssam!!!!!!!!!"

"Eew.... I cannot! I think I'm going to throw up!"

"Oh no... I just imagine their first night scene in my head! I just freaking imagine their freaking first night!"

"Dude, don't imagine it! Don't imagine it! Don't imagine it!"

"Save your innocent mind!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Bunnies! Cute little bunnie! Hoping from one log to another! Cute fluffy bunnies..."

Baekhyun smirked and continue to taunt them.

"Shagging crazily like bunnies..."

"SEONGSAENGNIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

After a long day of work, Byun Baekhyun couldn't help but laughed. Walking down the street to his home, he remembers the horrified look of his students when they saw the Gym. The Gym was starting to become beautiful. Coach Cha and Nurse Yoo are having their wedding in the Gym this saturday. Today is Thursday and still one more day to go. Tomorrow, his class are sign to help with the decorations. Baekhyun snickers, he just remembers something funny. A few hours ago, his students and him were walking together out of the school gates when they saw Coach Cha and Nurse Yoo smooching at the middle of the school enterance. Baekhyun felt really pity for his students. They grew paler than before and he was sure, Heeyoung vomit out her lunch. Even Baekhyun felt his lunch were rising up his throat.

He walk towards a small apartment complex. It wasn't that eye-catching but it's payable in terms of rent. It's a two-storey apartment. Baekhyun climb the stairs and headed towards his apartment. It was right at the end. He walk slowly but stop when he saw his apartment door open. Someone break in his aparment? Baekhyun look around and grab an umbrella from the neighbour house. He slowly walk towards the aparmtent and quietly enter it. He look around, there's a female shoe infront and the living room wasn't ransack. What kind of buglar would be this neat-freak? Or the buglar is a neat-freak... He turn around and headed towards the kitchen. He enter and check no one there. He continue to the bedroom but it was clean and tidy. Baekhyun give up. Maybe Invisible lady came and left but forget her footwear. Baekhyun walk out and scream.

"YAH! YAH! It's me! Your mother!!!!!"

Baekhyun who was waving the umbrella around the air like a little girl stop and stare at his mother. The lady was horryifing in his eyes. Who the heck would wear a long white dress with blood design on the dress not to mention her free-sprited hair. Her hair seems as if it wasn't washed for days. It's dry, too dry and her mother had ketchup on her lips. Byun Baekhyun gets easily scared and his mother loves to scares the life out of him. It's her lifetime commitment.

"Do you want me dead, Mom?! Why are you dressing like this?! It's scaring the evening lights out of me. Can you be normal for once?" Baekhyun was fuming. He hates to say but his mother, no his family including his late-father have this crazy things about themselves.

"I just came back from work." Mrs Byun replied. She plopped herself onto the small couch and grin at Baekhyun, showing her fake yellow tooth.

"And you feel the need to come to my apartment dress like a crazy ghost who lost her husband?!"

"Pretty much yeah... Oh hush, Baek. I came with a news. Sit down."

Baekhyun sit on the floor, his eyes judging his mother. The female Byun smile at her.

"Mom please, take off your costume. I'm going to get nightmare if I continue to look at you. I don't want to hold my pee till morning. Or.." Baekhyun paused, face flushed in red. "I will have a wet bed."

Baekhyun look away as his mother takes her costume off and when she's ready. Baekhyun turn. His all ears now.

"So, why are you in my house? Why didn't you call me? Why are you here?!"

"Is it a crime for a mother to visit their own son? Is it a crime for a mother to surprise their own son? Is it a crime for a mother to miss their son and came unannounced. Is it a crime for a mother to..."

"Stop being a drama queen! Now, I know where I get my genes from.... Why are you here, mother?"

"Well son, I did not miss you if that is what you're wondering." Baekhyun look at his mother in hurt.

"Thanks for making me feel better." He replied, sarcastically.

"Shut up and listen. I am here because I meet my long-time friend."

Baekhyun started to doze off to wonderland when his mother continues to speak. Something about how they were the popular kids during High School days and whatever. Baekhyun couldn't care less and snore softly. Mrs Byun keep on talking. She knows Baekhyun was sleeping. His son isn't shy and embarassed to sleep ugliy infront of her. Mrs Byun stop talking. She stare at her only child. The tired face of Byun Baekhyun really hurt her heart. Baekhyun really stay true to his words. As a mother, Mrs Byun is proud of Baekhyun but she can never tell Baekhyun that. Not what she had done to him. Baekhyun did forgive her but her guilt keep on eating her. Baekhyun could live an easy life but he didn't. Mrs Byun feel really sad.

"I'm doing everything for you, son. I love you, Baekhyun. Mom loves you so much. Mom is confident that this path I'm placing you, will revive your oldself back."

"Why are you ruining my life?!"

Mrs Byun had expected this reactions. As soon as Baekhyun wake up, they have dinner and Mrs Byun had decided to tell him. Baekhyun weren't amused. He was suffocated by his mother decision. The bowl he's eating, he slam on small table. His appetite is gone. He get up from the floor and walk out of the apartment. Mrs Byun sigh.

Baekhyun walk away from his apartment complex. He headed towards the park. It had been quite long since his mother talk about marriage. Exactly 4 years ago.... There's a bench and he sits on it. His work outfit still intact. He smells and his body feel sticky and yucky. Baekhyun didn't want to return back. His mother will try to change his mind and he's not going to agree. This is the 21st century. Those marriage is invalid. Only rich people have that. He's not rich and never dream to be rich either. He likes his life now. Away from pressure and stress, he loves this balance.

"Baekhyun-ah," Mrs Byun followed him. She very well knows where he had gone. Besides, she could see Baekhyun from up there. "I know you hate this. I know you are still hurt but move on, son. Not every women are bad. So, a girl dump you. Big deal... there's more ladies out there that is pretty on the outside and inside too."

"Not a big deal? Are you mocking me? Mom, you were there! You saw what she did! You hear what she had to say! I was abandoned and dumped by my bride! I WAS ABANDON! Infront of the whole town.... I was humiliate! Mentally and psychologically hurt. I am not going done that road again. You can't make me and I am not going to agree. I rather die alone. You born alone, you die alone. I don't need a wife. I can survive alone. I've been doing it since that time."

Mrs Byun grab onto Baekhyun head. She pull his hair harshly and forces their eyes to meet. If Baekhyun wants to act like a brat then Mrs Byun will teach him. She points her fingers to his face. Her face were scary, she's angry.

"See, I can see you can survive alone. But I want grandchildren, Byun Baekhyun. Mom wants to see her only son married and be happy. Past is past don't dwell onto it too much. Mom doesn't care if you are PMS-ing like a girl on her period because Mommy is having her last words. She says you're going to get married with a woman and you are. If you dare disagree, I would drag you back into the company. Do I make myself clear, Baekhyun?"

"I won't agree. I won't marry her."

Mrs Byun bit her lips. She lets Baekhyun go and took a few deep breaths. She turn and look at Baekhyun in pleading.

"Baekhyun please, Mommy begging you... go and meet her. Please, please, please... I'm on my knees what more do you want me to do? Scream and shout like a crazy woman because I've done that a few months ago. Just meet her and talk to her. Get to know her, who knows your heart might accept her. Please..."

"Why are you at my apartment? It's midnight, Byun Baek. And why are you two at my apartment too? I don't recall having a slumber party."

Kyungsoo glare at each of them. There were three rodents in his apartments and they are called Byun Baekhyun, Kim Jongdae and Park Chanyeol.

"Baekhyun has problem." Jongdae replied. Kyungsoo frown.

"Baekhyun has problem, I know. His sorry face just show his emotions but, what does it got to do with me?"

"Friends stick my each other side. If one has problems, we must be there to solve it." Chanyeol replied.

"And what does Mr Byun Baekhyun problem is? I'm cranky because my recipe just blew up on me, don't get crazy with me. I'm in bad mood now."

They stare at Baekhyun. Baekhyun had called his friends and all went to Kyungsoo apartment without even informing the midget.

"Mom setting me up on an arranged marriage. She said that she wants me to check on the girl but I know that she had agree on this marriage. I wanna die right now.... Kyungsoo, poison me with your food."

Kyungsoo eyes beam in delight.

"I thought you never ask. Do you want spicy salsa or barbeque chicken? With special ingredient, poison rat in it or...."
