My throat is a little sore. I didn't know I would struggle singing some notes. I feel rather emotional. Putting the sheet music my voice teacher gave me into a little folder and back into my bag as I patiently wait for them to leave the room before me. "Hey baek are you coming for our small break?" Jaehyun looks at me from the doorway as I pretend I am struggling with my bag. "You go ahead I will follow you, I want to ring my aunt real quick" I lie to him as he closes the door leaving me all alone.

Sitting on the stool in front of the piano I can't help but let out a cry. How can I call myself a singer if I can't reach small notes? . Pressing a few of the keys on the piano I then look up at the mirrored wall. hmmm, is someone there now, I was told by someone to come back today. Getting up from the stool I grab my bag and leave the room. My feet are taking me to the ghost room whether I like it or not. My heart is pounding in my chest as I arrive at the ghost room door.

Pushing the handle it opens making me look down the hall to see I'm alone before hurrying in and closing it behind me. "Hello is anyone here?" looking around the room I can't see anyone but I know someone is here, my body can sense it. "You shouldn't cry" fills the room making me drop my bag and cover my face as if that is going to save me from whatever or whoever said that as my body starts to tremble all on its own.

"Who's there?" I peak from behind my hands to see the glass has opened up. Stepping backwards towards the door I watch the glass mirror. "Stop messing with me this isn't fair" I croak out with a shaking voice as I hope whoever it is doesn't just jump out and scare the shit out of me because right now if they did I am surely going to be running back to my dorm to change my underwear for real.

"You know who I am?" The voice says really making me want to run out of here screaming but I need whoever it is to stop. "OK listen Johnny or whoever you are stop pretending you're the ghost, the joke is over now" I get brave and walk towards the opened mirror. Getting closer I step inside still trembling like I have no control over my body. The walkway is open and down the end I can see someone. Taking a breath and blessing myself I start to walk down the walkway ever so slowly.

Right in front of me I can just about make out a tall figure with a cloak on move to the left making me follow them till I see the opening of another mirror making me step through into a massive huge room.

"Hello" I step into the room looking around seeing all the awards and albums of past groups. I haven't been in here yet this must be the room Luhan told me about on the first day. "Beautiful isn't it" a voice says, making me jump but this time when I turn to face the direction of the voice I can see a dark figure. "It's lovely yes, who are you and why are you trying to scare me, your a bully if you keep doing this"

"I am no bully" the figure's voice changes to a deeper one. I can almost feel the vibration of his deep voice in my bones making them tremble more. "I'm sorry I'm just scared, you won't tell me who you are" I'm really starting to get upset now I wipe away a tear as I lose control of my body shaking. "Don't cry please" the voice says with a much softer tone making me relax. "Stand into the light please" I ask softly hoping whoever it is will do as I ask.

A second passes and the figure slowly steps into the light a bit better covered in black wearing a cloak with a hood covering their head and most of their face. "Please tell me who you are" I can't hold my emotions anymore as I watch the figure pull down the hood revealing his face with a white mask covering one side of it. "Yeol is that you?" I move closer feeling my heartbeat slow to a more normal pace.

"You remembered, " he says, making me laugh, "Of course I do, but why are you still wearing your Halloween costume? " I watch as he lowers his head and moves away from me a little as I begin to put all the clues together. "That's not a costume is it, are you the so called ghost of this place?" my body all of a sudden starts to tremble so hard I have to sit down on the couch in the room.

"Yes that's what they call me" his voice sounds so sad making my heart sink. "Why" I ask him as he won't turn to face me "I don't look like a normal person Baekhyun, not one that fits in this world." I don't understand" I finally stand back up and walk closer towards his back that is facing me. "Turn around please" I wait and he slowly turns to face me making me see the mask he wears. My eyes get wider as I see what looks like burnt skin just at the edge of the mask along his cheek. "Have you seen enough now?" he says moving away towards the mirror with such speed it looks like his feet aren't even touching the ground while pulling his hood up over his head and half of his face.

"Don't leave let's talk please" I nearly beg on my knees as he stops in his tracks. "You need to get to class" he mumbles looking over his shoulder towards me. "Shit I will be late again" I look around the room as he holds out a gloved hand towards me "I know a shortcut" he smiles and I find myself placed under some sort of spell as soon as my hand touches his. My body has stopped shaking and I feel so much calmer just from his touch.

Walking down the walkway with him still holding his hand he taps the wall with his free hand making the walkway disappear behind us and doing so makes me jump closer to him "Don't be scared it's ok, I just can't have anyone walking back here" he says with that deep voice I am beginning to fall in love with. "Nobody is here yet" he says looking through the one way mirror. He reaches up to press the edge of it as I stop him "Wait can't we talk more?" I look up at him as he turns to look at me and all I can see is his lips and the bottom half of his mask as his cloak makes him blend in back here. "Later about 4o'clock in my room if you don't tell anyone you met or saw me" he says while opening the mirror. "I promise..." I try to say more but he moves me that fast that I am in the room facing the mirror as if I am looking in it.

"We were looking for you?" Kai says entering the room looking at me weirdly maybe because I am so close to the damn mirror I look like I was kissing it or something. "You ok?" he looks at me with a puzzled look "Yeah..... I..... I just thought I had something in my eye but I can't see it" I tell him as I move away from the mirror towards him.

"OK so today I think we are just going to do a few warm ups and then Taemin is gonna show you some basic dance moves, so change your shoes and let's get ready before he gets here" I turn to grab my bag and realise I left my bag in the ghost room. If I leave to get it the teacher will think I am late. "Shit" I say out loud making Kai look at me "You ok?" he asks sitting on the floor changing his shoes. "I forgot my bag" I tell him as he starts to laugh. "It's behind you at the mirror silly" I turn to see it sitting nicely against the mirror I just came out of. Smiling to myself before looking in the mirror I mouth a thank you towards it as I pick up my bag and quickly change my shoes.

As I wait for my teacher to arrive I watch Kai do some dance moves that I know if I was to try I would break my body in half. My mind drifts off to Yeol aka the ghost of this place and wonder if he is still here watching me.

Behind the mirror

Ghost pov

You are so beautiful and precious like nothing I have ever seen before. You haven't run scared of me yet but I'm sure you will soon. I can't be a part of your world no matter how badly I want it. I see you looking at the mirror wondering if I am here. Yes I am, I will always be here watching you, you're going to be my Angel of Music. I watched you singing earlier and that stupid voice coach won't be able to help you reach notes like I can. I won't let you be upset over him or doubt yourself my angel. I want to trust you not to tell the others of me and I can then make your dreams come through.

Seeing him sitting on the floor watching Kai who is always in heat like a dog he just makes My heart turn to goo. I hate the world but there is just something about Baekhyun that pulls you in and doesn't let go. I promise I will help him become the best he can be and help the world hear his voice.

Slowly moving from the mirror I walk down my walkway I can feel a burning sensation on my face as I need to get home quickly.

Arriving at my home I quickly rush up to my bedroom forgetting I never put my cream on my face before my mask this morning as I wanted to see Baekhyun so badly. Pulling off my cloak with force sending it somewhere in the room. I rush into my ensuite bathroom unclipping my mask that is held onto my face by a little clip on my hair and a small wire around my ear. Looking in the mirror I can see the rawness of my burnt face.

Running a face cloth under the warm tap before placing it on my skin to help ease the itch. Closing my eyes I then open them to look in the mirror. My burnt skin is now red being irritated so badly by the mask. As if I have nothing else to worry about, my skin decides to act all sensitive today. The one day I get to speak to Baekhyun more.

Throwing the towel into the wash hamper I grab a fresh one and wet it before returning into my bedroom. Falling on my back onto my bed I lay down and place the face cloth on my face as I try to control my breathing from the pain.

"Mr Park sir" I hear a voice come from my door. " Call me Chanyeol, we have been over this before" I move my face cloth to see my maid standing with my face cream and dressings. "I tried to call after you this morning, but you were gone so fast you forgot your cream" she smiles her beautiful smile at me as I sit up on my bed as she quickly walks over to me.

"I needed to get to the company" I watch as my maid moved closer. "It's pretty bad today sir maybe we should change back to the other cream we used before" She speaks nervously but I know she is just being honest and that's why I like her so much. She has been through so much with me after it all happened, if it wasn't for her I would have never left my bed. Being so cute with her brown hair and eyes that smile when she does she would do anything to make you smile and be happy. Even though she is a little smaller than me she sure can be bossy sometimes "I think you're right Lianne, would you maybe have some left?" I watch as she rushes out of my room returning with a little tub.

"I shall head out today and get some more Mr....... Chanyeol" she blushes as she opens the tub of cream passing it to me with a small bit of cream still inside. "Thank you Lianne that would mean alot to me" I get some cream onto my finger while she holds a handheld mirror that has two sides, one that shows you normal and the other that can show you every single pore on your face. I use that one as it helps me put my cream on better. Lianne is the only person that has seen my scar apart from the Doctor that treated me in the beginning. Cece may know everything but she hasn't seen this. "Just a little bit more here Chanyeol" Lianne points to the area knowing not to touch it making me rub the cream on. "Did I get it all?" I look in the mirror as she also checks. "Yes all done, would you like a dressing over it, or will we just let the air in at it?" Lianne asks as she takes my cloth and the tub of cream from me. "No dressings, I will just lay here for a bit as the pain is starting to fade now". I head back into my private bathroom to wash my hands real quick. Returning to my room I take my shoes off and climb back onto my bed.

"Get some rest Chanyeol and I will head off out now to get you more cream, is there anything else you may need?"

"No Lianne thank you" I watch as she bows and leaves as I lay on the bed looking up at the ceiling. Hopefully the cream will calm my irritated skin a bit faster so I can get back to the company later to see Baekhyun again.

Back at the dorm

Baekhyun pov

"Hey thanks for dinner it was so nice" Baekhyun finishes off drying the dishes from the dinner they all had. "No problem I am glad you enjoyed it" Jeno smiles as he puts the last plate into the cupboard. "Fancy watching TV?" he asks as I look at my watch. "It's pretty late I'm just gonna go to bed" I put the towel in the washing machine as I say goodnight to them all before heading to my bedroom.

Closing my bedroom door I feel rather sad that I waited around but Yeol never showed up. I hope I didn't scare him off, maybe he doesn't trust me. I haven't told anyone about him really only after the party I asked did any of them know him. I wouldn't tell them, I hope he can trust me. I change out of my clothes and put a long t-shirt on before I brush my teeth and climb into bed. Turning off the light as I snuggle down in my bed I can't help but wonder if he is ok.

No pov

Outside his bedroom a tall dark figure slips in through the window before stepping into Baekhyun's room. Jumping up in the bed Baekhyun looks towards the door which he can't see as he turns off the light. "Who's there?" he asks while reaching for his bedside light. "Don't turn it on please" a deep voice speaks making Baekhyun realise who it is. "Yeol, where were you I waited? " Baekhyun speaks into the darkness as he can now see a figure appear but this time without a cloak.

"I'm sorry something came up. I didn't mean for you to worry" he speaks making Baekhyun smile. "That's ok I thought I might have made you not trust me, come sit" Baekhyun pats his bed making the figure sit down on the end of the bed.

"Are you the one who sneaks in here and leaves the roses?" Baekhyun waits as he can kinda see the dark figure a bit more now that his eyes are adjusting to the dark. "Yeah that's me" the dark figure smiles making Baekhyun get up from the bed and reach for the card. "Why sign your name with a C then?" Baekhyun passes the card to him that he found on his bed the first day he arrived.

"That's my real name" the dark figure passes the card back to Baekhyun making the smaller confused. "My real name is Chanyeol, my friends called me Yeol, I didn't want to tell you my real name just yet, to be honest I thought you would have ran a mile by now" Chanyeol gets up from the bed still not believing he is talking to Baekhyun without him running off screaming.

"Why would I run off screaming, to be honest I would have if you kept being so spooky hiding and speaking with the deep voice" Sitting back on the bed Baekhyun grabs a pillow and sits it across his lap being ever so comfortable. " I see you're not wearing your cloak tonight, but a leather jacket and cap, " Baekhyun smiles a little, making Chanyeol smile.

"I don't need to wear it at night, it's just during the day I wear my cloak so people can't see me so well, " Chanyeol smiles. "Let me turn the light on please I feel like I'm talking to darkness" Baekhyun waits as Chanyeol reaches for the light turning it on himself.

"Much better" Baekhyun says so calmly as Chanyeol is shitting right now seeing Baekhyun being so relaxed with him and begins to wonder why he hasn't been asked to leave yet.

"Come sit" Baekhyun pats the bed as Chanyeol sits again . " So what name can I call you?" Baekhyun asks as Chanyeol smiles. "You can call me Chanyeol" he says making Baekhyun smile a big smile. "I have to keep you a secret don't I?" Baekhyun frowns a little playing with the corner of his pillow. "Please don't tell anyone about me nobody can know please" Chanyeol stands up beginning to panic making Baekhyun get up from the bed also and run for the door blocking it. "Don't leave stay a little bit longer please" Baekhyun looks up at the tall figure making Chanyeol look away realising Baekhyun just had a t-shirt on.

Baekhyun catches on and giggles. "I have shorts on, see" he pulls up his t-shirt showing off his shorts, making Chanyeol blush. " I need to go, " Chanyeol says softly this time as Baekhyun moves out of his way, opening the door. "I wish you wouldn't" he whispers making sure none of his roommates hear him.

"I have to, I'm sorry" Chanyeol slides open the window as Baekhyun watches him climb out of it. "Have I upset you?" Baekhyun whispers as Chanyeol smirks "No my angel" as he touches Baekhyun's cheek, making the smaller nearly melt at his touch. "OK" is all Baekhyun can say as he watches Chanyeol climb down and run into the night. Closing the window he moves back into his bedroom closing the door.

"OK who is this Chanyeol and why when he touches me do I go weak at the knees. Maybe there is something in the library files about him. I'll check tomorrow" Baekhyun climbs into bed all smiles knowing he is the first to know of this Chanyeol guy and hopefully tomorrow he will know more.
