"Why won't you show me who you are?" Baekhyun says softly as the figure steps  closer making the light get a little brighter as if controlled by someone. Watching the dark figure appear more he sees a full white mask come into view but everything else is black . "You sing so well, " the masked figure says, making Baekhyun smile. "I like your costume, it's the one from that horror movie Scream right? and I don't think we have met yet, I am Baekhyun and you are?" Baekhyun waits as the taller reaches out his hand to shake as Baekhyun shakes it. "I have a name that you can't know yet" he says as Baekhyun smiles back. "Thank you for the sheet music" Baekhyun says as the masked figure looks away nodding. "Are you going to the party later?" Baekhyun watches the light go dim again. "No" is all the reply he gets.

"Hey... Have you scared our new recruit yet?" Chen enters the room laughing as the taller figure removes his mask. "Hey Baekhyun my name is Johnny nice to meet you" the taller laughs as Baekhyun grabs his chest . "Omg you had me going there. I thought you were the ghost of this room" Baekhyun looks at them as they continue to laugh.

"We scare the newbies that join us" Johnny says, making Baek look behind him towards the mirrors. "How did you know that opened?" Baekhyun asks as they all turn to face the mirror. "I saw it before, left slightly open but it doesn't go anywhere" Johnny says while stepping inside making Baek look in looking to the left and right seeing just like a black wall with nothing else and nowhere else to go.

Thinking to himself he knows when he looked inside earlier he saw someone in what looks like a hallway behind the mirror, but now it's just like the inside of a wardrobe. He keeps it to himself and steps back away from the mirror.
"So you left the music sheets? He asks as Johnny shakes his head "I have no idea what you're talking about so I just went along with what you said" Johnny smiles as he places his arm around Chen and Baekhyun. Welcome to the company and let's go get back to the dorm and start getting ready for this party.

Baekhyun looks back at the mirror knowing full well something isn't right before he leaves and heads off back to the dorm. "How did you know where to find me?" Baekhyun asks, making Chen smile. "I saw you running out of the  dorm and Johnny here was already in the Studio so I told him to just head there just in case" Chen smiles while grabbing Baekhyun by the arm as a way of saying sorry without actually using words.  

'That bastard Johnny pretending to be me now scaring people away. Baekhyun knows it's not you he isn't as stupid as you are all making him out to be' the dark figure moans as he watched them leave his room. Pushing against the wall the hallway opens back up behind the mirror. I knew one of you would come in here this night that is why I blocked off my pathway. None of you are to be in here but me and the sooner the better you all learn that. Disappearing down his dark hallway behind the mirrors the dark figure heads off in the direction of the offices.

"Hey Baek sorry if I scared you back there" Johnny smiles at Baekhyun as the smaller looks up at him "It's ok, you had me a little scared alright" Baekhyun smiles as they all head in through the door to the dorm.  "Is there really a ghost of the company?" Baek asks, making Chen and Johnny look at each other. "I have never seen it but Leeteuk from super junior said he was in that room before and heard strange noises then a figure walked past him from the door to the mirror and disappeared so fast he felt like he dreamt it. One day a few of us got into the room and found the mirror opened but it looked only like a hidden wardrobe as it was too small to be anything else. So now we use it to scare the newbies on Halloween" Johnny says, making Baekhyun wonder if they say it's the size of a wardrobe inside then why when he looked in earlier was it a long hallway.

"Hey Baek, are you ok?" Chen places his arm around Baek making me look at him. "Yeah I'm ok, sorry  my mind drifted off for a bit" Baekhyun smiles back as they finally reach home. Heading to his bedroom, Baek quickly closes the door, locking it as he sits on my bed looking at the sheet music. "Who are you really and why won't you show yourself to me? " he runs his fingers over the sheet music before picking it up from his bed and placing it on the desk to keep it safe.

Standing up to get changed, Baekhyun slips into his costume he picked out earlier of Jack Skellington and places the mask on to finally finish his costume. Looking in the mirror he laughs at how not like him he looks. He isn't tall and skinny like Jack, more short and skinny. Laughing more at his costume he hears his name being shouted through the door as he grabs his keys from the bed before leaving the room.

"That looks so cool" Kai says, fixing his hair by brushing it all back off his face. "Can't believe you stole my costume idea" Chen huffs in his vampire costume looking at Kai in the same costume. "Yeah but baby I look better, I have the height and my hair all greased back makes me look like a vampire". Kai teases Chen, making him more annoyed. "How do I look?" baek tries to change the conversation towards him making them stop. "Jack Skellington, I love it, let's get going we don't want to be late" Chen gets up from the chair and walks towards the door while Kai let's out a massive whistle sound making the others all run out of the rooms towards the door. "Wow that's one way of getting everyone's attention" baek laughs uncovering his ears from the high pitch whistle sound. "They my bitches" Kai says before bursting out laughing as they walk toward the door to leave.

Baekhyun pov

Arriving at the studio there are cameras everywhere of the media taking pictures. Hiding behind Kai as we walk closer to the main door I grab his arm making him look down at me. "Hey baby don't go shy, stand up and enjoy it. Who knows one day it could be our band they take pictures of" Kai squeezes my hand that is holding so tightly onto his making me smile. "Just enjoy it, turn and wave" he says as he swings be around so we are facing the cameras as I join in and wave with him being rather grateful I have a mask on. Stepping inside the building I burst out laughing as Kai looks down at me smiling. "See that was fun" he says, making me smile back "It really was actually" I let go of his arm as we head into the main hall where the party is being held.

Being introduced to a lot of people at the party knowing full well I won't remember them all as some have the strangest costume disguising their faces. I decide to head over to the table of refreshments to try to gather myself. Pouring out myself a Sprite I really start to feel I don't belong here and I know it's just my nerves from starting somewhere new but I can't seem to shake it. "Hey Baekhyun, are you enjoying the party?" I see someone dressed up as Zorro standing beside me. "I'm sorry who are you again?" I try to see the person's face making me blush. "Sorry Baekhyun it's  me Lay the producer" he smiles making me lower my head. "I'm so so sorry I am  finding it hard to remember everyone" I look back up at him and get lost in his massive dimple. "Hey it won't be long till you know everyone, it's still early days yet" he reaches out and touches my arm with comfort. "Hey Baek come join us we are going to bob for apples" Kai says pulling me away from Lay and over towards them.

 "Hey Baek watch Luhan try bob for apples" Sehun says making me smile as I watch Luhan put his face into the water trying to grab an apple with just his teeth. "Yes, haha I did it" Luhan spits out the apple after removing it from the water. "Baek do you want a try?" Kai asked me, making me shake my head no. I continue to watch them tease each other as I look around the room till I see a cloak like I saw earlier behind the mirror walk past the door to the hall we are in. My curiosity gets the better of me as I slowly make my way out of the room to follow the cloak.

Reaching outside I see loads of people chit chatting in the hallway and some heading for food across the hall into another large room. I follow them in as I look around seeing no one wearing a cloak . I decided since I'm in here I will grab some food. Reaching the table where the food is all laid out  I grab a plate and take some curry and rice along with a drink and head over to a spare table. Sitting down I am not alone very long till a tall guy with the deepest voice I have ever heard speaks. "Hey can I sit with you?" I look up feeling his voice deep in my soul as I nod. "Yes of course". I watch as he sits down with a plate of food. I can't help but notice he is wearing his mask still on the top half of his face. "I love your costume" He smiles as I feel myself begin to sweat. I don't know if it's because of the curry or the fact that he has a beautiful smile with a voice that could melt butter. "Thank you, it was last minute as I am only new here, oh my name is Baekhyun by the way" I hold out my hand as he reaches across with a gloved hand shaking mine. "Just call me Yeol" he smiles before continuing to eat his food. 

"Are you here long?" I ask him as he looks up at me with a bowed head making me get a small glimpse of his eyes and I have to admit it's like magic I am drawn to him. "It feels like forever sometimes" He smiles again making me blush for no reason. "How are you fitting in?" He says again with the beautiful deep voice. "I..i.. am finding it hard as it's been like two days and I'm still meeting everyone and it's harder as they are wearing masks etc" he laughs a little making me laugh too. "I even got the scare the newbie earlier by one of the guys I hadn't met yet. " I watch his posture change as if he is annoyed, making me sit back a bit in my chair. "I hate when they do that to the newbies. I find it very unfair" he says, making me relax more. 

"Hey Baek, there you are, I was looking all over for you" Luhan joins us as my now dinner guest gets up from the table so fast. "I must go, talk soon Baekhyun" he says before leaving the room like magic. "Who was that ?" Luhan says as he sits beside me. "He said his name is Yeol?" I look as Luhan looks puzzled at me. "I don't remember there being a person named Yeol here" he gets up and heads to get some food as I stare at the exit my dinner guest would have left through. That's weird, maybe he is someone new but I did ask him how long he was here. Maybe Luhan just forgot.  

The party is finally over and I have to admit I am so tired and a little drunk thanks to my room mates. Standing up from our tables we all decide to head back to our dorms and sleep it off. I have to admit after having some food and forcing myself to mingle I had a really great time. My roommates and future friends are so fun to be around. "Hey Luhan you coming back to mine?" Sehun drapes his arm around Luhan's arm making him giggle like a schoolgirl and whisper in his ear which I can only assume was a yes as poor luhan is lifted up and over Sehun's shoulder as they leave the main hall. Finishing off the last bit of my drink Chen grabs my arm as we link each other and sway out the door giggling like two drunk school girls. "Oh wait, I need to pee. " Chen moans, making me laugh as he tries to let go of me falling in the bathroom door. "You shouldn't have drank so much" I laugh as I bend over picking him up as I too fall with him hitting the floor. "Maybe you shouldn't have drank so much either, Who moved the floor up so close" He giggles as we both get up from the floor as I wait outside leaning up against the wall for safety in the hallway. Looking to my left I see a dark figure standing looking towards me. "Hey" I shout while trying to keep my head up. "Had fun I see" The figure walks towards me making me realise it's my dinner guest guy. "Hey where did you go?" I ask him as he moves closer. "I had a few things to do, will you be ok getting home?" He says with the sexy voice again making me melt as I actually slide down the wall to the floor. 

"Wow be careful" he says as he reaches down and lifts me back up to my feet. "My Chen is in the bathroom.....I mean my friend Chen is in the bathroom he needed to pee" I smile as the figure laughs. "I can walk you both back to your dorm if you like?" He says as I can't stop myself staring at him. "I think that would be a good idea because we will probably take forever" I laugh as chen scares me by opening the bathroom door so fast. "Jaysus Chen you scared me" I get ready to walk as Kai and Jeno come to join us. "There you both are, come on we will take you home" Jeno says as he reaches his hand out. "My dinner guest will walk me home. I will follow you" I look at the tall figure as he has a lowered head as Kai and Jeno smile "Ok only because he goes here too  we will let him walk you home" as they help Chen walk. I hold the wall as I begin to follow them with the figure walking beside me. "I don't think I am going to make it to the dorm, can I lick you.....omg I mean Link not lick?" I look at him as he smiles and holds out his arm for me to take. "I knew what you meant" he smiles as he guides me out of the building in the direction to my dorm. 

Walking past the shop with all the Kpop merchandise I move towards the window trying to walk straight as I look inside with my face ever so close to the glass. "I hope one day I get my name on something" I find myself pouting wondering if my dream will ever come through. "I am sure you will if you put the time into it. " I hear Mr Sexy's voice behind me say as I turn to face him. "Are you wanting the same thing too?" I ask him as he just nods and smiles before guiding me to my dorm again. "I have really had a good time tonight , bit drunk but sure once in awhile is ok right?" I find myself looking at him for approval as he just smiles again. "You have a beautiful smile" I blurt out before covering my mouth. "Crap I wasn't supposed to say that out loud" I feel the blush spread across my face knowing I probably look like a stop sign right now. "Thank you, you have a beautiful one too" he says making me melt as I take his arm and link it to the door of my building. 

"This is me" I say as he turns me to face him. "Drink a glass of water before bed" he says, making me smirk at how caring he is. "I will , where do you live? "I ask him as he looks around. "Just a few blocks back" he steps away as I try to stand still as if I'm not drunk. "Go head inside Baekhyun it's pretty cold out now" I watch as he opens the door of my building for me and guides me over to the lift. "Thank you Mr tall dark stranger Yeol, for walking me safely home". "You're welcome Baekhyun have a good evening. " The lift arrives with Jeno and Kai inside. "We just wanted to make sure you got home safe" Jeno says as they help me into the lift as I wave goodbye to my dinner guest as the lift door closes. 

"Who was that Baek?" Jeno asks as we head up to our floor. "Yeol from the company" I tell them as they look at me puzzled before we arrive on our floor. I start to feel rather sleepy as they guide me out of the lift. "I never heard of a Guy called Yeol, " Kai says to Jeno, making me huff, knowing maybe I heard his name wrong. "Ok sleep it off now Baek" Kai and Jeno put me in my bed covering me with a blanket as I try to wave them off as they leave my room. Laying there waiting to die it feels like I hear a voice in my head telling me to get a drink of water. Lifting my head and looking around my room I see a bottle I left earlier on my nightstand as I open it and gulp the whole thing down before falling back onto the bed and drifting off to sleep.

No p.o.v

"Sleep well beautiful it was so nice to spend time with you today. I just hope one day maybe you will see the real me and not this mask I wear". The dark figure says while brushing the hair off the beautiful face of the guy still in his Jack Skellington costume laying out cold on the bed making little soft noises as he sleeps. Leaving Baekhyun to sleep, the tall figure leaves the bedroom and slides open the window next to Baekhyun's room, climbing out hoping one day he can spend time with Baekhyun again.
