"God I am so early this morning". Rushing along the street making my way towards my trainee building I am so early that the security are just opening it now. "Good morning you are rather early young man" The security man says while making his way over to the reception desk turning off the alarm. "I really need to practice before the others all arrive sir, I hope you don't mind?" I wait as he flicks through all the buttons bringing the building to life. "Of course not who am I to stop you, go ahead, the lights and alarms are all off now" I nod my head and hurry to make my way to the old file room that seems to be next to the trophy room. Reaching the door it seems to be locked with some keycode. "Damn it" I nearly kicked the door in anger till I decided if the ghost AKA Chanyeol used to attend here, maybe he may have won some awards. Trying the door for the Trophy room it opens up no problem to my delight. Stepping inside I close the door behind me as I make my way along all the trophy cases in search of one that might have his name on it.

Five minutes later I come across a whole glass cabinet full of trophies and medals with the name Park Chanyeol engraved along the bottom of them. Wow he won every single category. Best rapper, best song writer, best composer, best soloist, the list goes on. I can't believe he has won so many. Why is he not here now in this school even teaching. Sitting on the little stool close to me I can't help but wonder is it because of the mask he wears, is that why he sneaks around here behind the walls and appears in mine at night. I need to see Cece, maybe she can help me.

Making my way out of the trophy room I head up into the lift to see if my boss is in. The lift arrives and opens. "Morning Baekhyun you are rather early this morning?" Cece smiles at me as I step into the lift. "I was actually on my way to see you and was hoping to have a quick word with you before the day starts" I press the button for her floor as she looks at me with a puzzled look. "What seems to be the problem Baekhyun I hope everyone is treating you well?" she smiles so beautifully making me blush. "I wanted to ask you about the Park Chanyeol who won so many awards for this company" I watch as her smile fades as the lift opens on her floor making us both step out. "He was one of the best trainees here Baekhyun, he had such an amazing deep voice so when he sang slow songs he would make you feel every single emotion. I even cried at a few of them" we continued to walk towards her office but she stopped outside the door not inviting me in. "There isn't much more I can tell you Baekhyun. Just that he left the company and that was it. If you don't mind, I have to get ready for a meeting" she gives me that look that my mom used to give me the one that says now leave me alone and stop bothering me. "Ok thank you Cece I will head to class now" I bow my head and make my way back towards the lift. "I bet she knows Chanyeol and that's why the mirror was broke and why she kept looking at it when I was in her office before. Did she not invite me in because he might hear her tell me about him. I wonder if anyone else has heard of him.

Arriving at our canteen I grab a bowl and a box of shreddies for my breakfast since I left so early this morning. Sitting down at the table as I pour them out into the bowl I can't help but wonder what has happened to him for him to wear that mask. A small bit of his skin did look burnt when I got close last time. Should I be brave and ask him or should I not pry into his personal life. Crunching on my shreddies I hear familiar voices making me look up from my bowl. "Baek there you are Oh my god we were worried about you" Chen sits beside me hugging me as Jaehyun laughs "He left a note we knew where he was" Chen gives him a dirty look making Jaehyun back off. "Chen, can I ask you something, have you ever heard of a Park Chanyeol that used to attend here?" "No I haven't, why is something wrong?" he heads to get a bowl of cereal before returning to sit beside me. "I was just in the trophy room, seen all the trophies and awards he won and just wondered if you had heard about him, that's all" I keep eating my breakfast wishing he knew.

"I heard of him, yeah he is some burnt up freak that haunts this place and scares everyone at Halloween" I look up from my bowl to see Kai smile. "Kai that's awful to say you don't know that?" Chen gives him a look that could kill as the others all join us sitting down at the table. "Oh come on that was his room, the ghost room people say he died in it after a fire or something" Kai keeps talking making me rather nervous. Then all of a sudden a large bang is heard and the glass behind the counter smashes into tiny pieces making us all jump. I cover my head and wait before I look up and see them all running scared. My heart is racing knowing now that he may have heard us talking about him.

"Shit" I grab my bag and make my way to the ghost room but the door is locked. I pound on it with my hand and still no answer. Shit he heard everything how could I have been so stupid to talk about him here of all places. I make my way down the stairs as I see Cece talking to the others while looking at the broken glass. "Stop worrying you lot, this place is old these things happen. Now off to class and stay out of here for the day till I get the mirrors checked" she ushers us all out with her hand as I feel rather sad now that I have upset him.

"That was some weird shit, see told you the place is haunted" Kai says, placing his arm across my shoulder as we all head to our classes. "I just want to go home, this is way too scary for me" Chen hugs himself looking like he just saw a ghost before slipping into our vocal coach's room. "See you scaredy cats later" Kai winks at us before he leaves as we enter the room closing the door behind us. "What Kai said wasn't nice and that mirror thing scared me. What if the mirrors in here smash too, what if the place is haunted. I want to go home" Chen panics as the door swings opens to our voice coach standing looking at us. "Cece says everyone is to head back to the dorm and stay there as mirrors in the dance hall have shattered". Chen grabs my arm as we make our way out of the room and head down the stairs to the next floor where the dance studios are.

"Oh man you guys missed it. Kai stepped into the room and screamed as the mirrors all broke and shattered one after the other covering him in bits of glass'' Sehun says while I try to have a look inside but Chen is holding me so tight. "I wanna see inside, stay here with Sehun. '' I peel him off me as I step inside the room properly. The whole room is covered in broken glass like someone went in and took a baseball bat or something and hit the mirrors. Whoever did it made sure not to show the walkway behind the mirrors. Looking around I am the only one left in the room. So I move closer to the area where the mirrors where and whisper "Chanyeol if your there meet me back at the dorm please" Baekhyun you need to leave and head back to the dorm with the others and stay there for the rest of the day" I see Cece call me from the doorway as I leave the room and head back to the dorm with the others.

It's been four hours and there has been no sign of Chanyeol yet. I begin to wonder if he even heard me earlier to meet me here. I am starving so I decide to leave my room and head to the kitchen to find the others.

across town

"Lianne where are you?" the booming sound of his voice sends chills down her spine as it's been awhile since she has heard him shout like this. "I am here Chanyeol. I was just hanging out the washing as it's quite warm outside.....oh shit what happened to you?" she rushes to the taller making him sit on the sofa. "How did you manage to cut down your arm and hand?" she reaches his sleeve and pulls apart the ripped material seeing the blood drip. "Oh shit sir" she says before running off and coming back with a first aid kit. "I broke some glass" he whispers, feeling rather unwell seeing all the blood. "Ok sir I need to cut this sleeve off your top off" as soon as she says that the taller one rips it himself with his bare hands. "Ok don't need these scissors then" she smiles putting it down as she reaches for some saline in a bottle and pours it on the bloody area so she can see the damage. "Ok sir you don't seem to have cut it too deep so it won't need stitches" she continues to wipe the blood and examine the area that is now travelling from his elbow all the way down to his wrist. "You may have a light scar after this sir" she looks up into the taller's eyes as she can see he is upset and in pain. She continues to clean his arm and places a dressing on it once it is all clean. "There you go sir ....I mean Chanyeol she smiles as he looks at her with teary eyes. "Can I get you anything for the pain or maybe some food, I can make you your favourite homemade vegetable soup if you like?" she waits as he smiles at her. "I was going to head out but I think I will stay at home today and yes I would love some, thank you Lianne" Chanyeol reaches up and takes off his mask making Lianne know he really is not himself today and knows not to push him for an answer.

"Go get changed and I will make you your soup" Lianne bows before clearing up the first aid kit as Chanyeol makes his way to his bedroom. Looking in the mirror at his face feeling so full of life this morning after spending time with Baekhyun last night in his room and how Baekhyun didn't jump when he saw him. To feel so down and hurt in such a short time from hearing what Kai said in the canteen. Taking off his cloak and throwing it away he changes into his favourite pair of tracksuit bottoms and hoodie and heads back down the stairs to see maybe if Lianne needs help with cooking and to help him take his mind of what he heard and the cutie he was beginning to like Baekhyun.
