Chapter One
After the two-hour train ride from Busan to Seoul, Baekhyun was able to reach the exact address written on the letter sent from Yonsei. Three days after receiving the invitation letter, he finally decided to pursue his dream at Yonsei with his mom, constantly pushing him to do it. The good thing about Yonsei, they will provide everything Baekhyun will be needing. From the shelter, to financial support, to the uniforms, and to the other things relevant in use while studying at Yonsei.
"Uhm. Excuse me," Baekhyun called the attention of the person sitting on the lobby.
"Yes?" The girl asked without paying a glance on Baekhyun. "May I help you?"
"Hello, I am Byun Baekhyun, the exchange student fromㅡ" Baekhyun was taken aback when the girl suddenly got up from her chair and looked at him with so much excitement. "ㅡu-uh. Why?"
"You're Baekhyun?!" Baekhyun nodded and accepted the pretty young woman's hand when she offered it to him. "I'm Im Yoona and I'll be your roommate for the whole academic year!"
"O-oh. Really?" Baekhyun wasn't expecting that he will be roomed with a girl like Yoona.
"Yes!" Yoona beamed. "Maybe it's still a mystery to you as why Yonsei gave you a girl roommate but we were picked based on our likes and dislikes! And it seems like we both love writing that's why we're placed inside one room."
"Oh. Yes. I write stories," Baekhyun's slowly getting comfortable with Yoona since she's not that hard to get along with. "May I asked why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for you!" Yoona clings an arm on Baekhyun's and started leading the way to their room. "I was so excited on meeting you because you're my first roommate! I never had a roommate! I mean, I can be placed with any students from journalism club but they seemed not to be interested with me!" She pouted like a kid.
"Why wouldn't they? You seemed nice though," Baekhyun answered while roaming his eyes inside the huge structure. This is just a part of countless dormitories Yonsei was offering to their students for free.
"Maybe because they envy me," Yoona took some keys on the pocket of her jacket and inserted it on their room. They were both welcomed by a room, painted in pink, big enough for two students to occupy. "Tadaaa! This will serve as our home for the whole time we will be here at Yonsei!"
Baekhyun unintentionally dropped his things on the floor with his mouth wide opened. Compared to the small house they have in their province, Yonsei's dormitory was huge and pleasing to his eyes! He went into the bed and was surprised when his fingers left a mark on it due to the fluffiness and softness of the mattress.
"I see. You're feeling overwhelmed with these?" Yoona asked and Baekhyun nodded silently. "I've heard you're an exchange student from Busan. It's a shame that you'll just be with me for one year! I was so excited at the thought of making memories with you! Hmp!" And suddenly, an idea came into her mind. "Say, Baekhyun. Would you mind applying for some scholarship here? You just have to comply with their grade requirements and maintain it. They offer full scholarships to those in need! Let's get you in? What do you think?"
And that made Baekhyun stop from his doings. As much as he wanted to stay long in his dream university, the thought of being away from his family for so long pains him so much. He's raised to be a family-oriented person and just by being an exchange student for one year at Yonsei is making his heart throb due to home sickness. "Y-Yoona. . ."
Yoona faked a smile. She noticed the hesitance on her roommate's face. Respecting his decision, she tried diverting their topic into other some. "Ah! It's still early to think about that, right? That's fine! Take your time on deciding but if ever you'll love to take the opportunity, then tell me. We'll get everything possible just for you, princess!"
"D-don't call me a princess," Baekhyun sat on his bed. "I'm so uncomfortable with it."
"But that suits you a lot. You're like a woman in a man's body. You moved much like a girl than me," Yoona huffed on air making his bangs flew away. "Are you even a real guy?"
"Of course!" Baekhyun rolled his eyes. "Anyway, is it okay to ask you a favor?"
"Sure! As long as it's beyond my reach," Yoona started unpacking her freshly delivered beauty products from Paris. She even gave two packs of face mask on Baekhyun to which the midget gladly accepted.
"If you don't mind, is it okay if you'll be my guide while I was still foreign to everything about Yonsei?" Yoona nodded as a response. "Great! Thanks!"
A couple of knocks broke the comforting silence between the two. Yoona excused herself while Baekhyun continued unpacking his things. He first took out the facial products he's been using for almost a year now. Next is the shirts and pants he brought with him. Then the books he loves to read whenever he can't sleep. The undergarments remained untouched on its respective bag. He just doesn't feel comfortable moving his boxers and briefs into the cabinet knowing that Yoona's just outside the door, probably talking with someone else.
"Hey, Tiff! Why won't you come inside? I want you to meet my roommate. You'll surely love him," Yoona entered the room with a beautiful looking woman, who looks like a spoiled brat judging from her choice of color to wear. "B, I want you to meet Tiffany! She's my best friend and Tiff, meet B, Baekhyun, my first ever roommate."
"Wow. He's indeed adorable," Tiffany's eyes twinkled upon seeing Baekhyun. They both shook their hands and quickly broke it. "It's a shame I can't stay too long because I have class this afternoon. I'll see you guys later, okay?!"

When Baekhyun and Yoona came out of their dormitory, they almost bumped with each other when the students started running down outside the whole building. It alarmed the two that they thought there's a fire inside their building but when they passed at the group of boy students, they heard their conversation, not intentionally eavesdropping.
"I heard he's going to stay here for the mean time," boy #1 said. As per what Yoona remembered, he is Jiyong, the captain of Yonsei's basketball team.
"Really?" Taeyang asked. "Would you mind inviting him to join our team?"
Jiyong shrugged his shoulders. "Bet he doesn't have the time to spare our team. I heard he's on the peak of his career."
"Let's still try our luck and send him an invitation. Park will contribute well in our team. His height advantage can be used for our rebound weakness and he's a shooter in the court," Seungri said as a matter of fact.
"Yoona, who are they talking about? Is it the person behind why the students were crawling their way out of their dormitories?" Baekhyun asked out of curiosity.
"Yes, he's back," Yoona said absentmindedly, like her mind was floating in the air with the thought of that person.
"He?"
"PARK CHANYEOL IS BACK!" Someone's voice roared around and it made the students more excited upon seeing the person they've been waiting for years.
Park Chanyeolㅡthe superstar student of Yonsei Universityㅡwho never made an appearance to their campus. Being the superstar he is, he and the management opted to go home schooling for his safety. But this year, since Chanyeol was on his junior year at Yonsei, the management granted him of one year rest and after that, his world tour will start once again. Chanyeol begged them to guarantee him a year of break before home schooling again since senior year will be tough together the fact that he will start his second world tour since debut.
"Yoona," Baekhyun called his roommate but she's not responding so he left her right where she's standing. Baekhyun walked himself out of the dormitory and he saw the sea of students probably waiting for that certain Park Chanyeol to come. "Wow. Is he that famous?"
"Yes, he was hella famous!" An unknown guy from behind answered Baekhyun's self question. When the midget turned around, he saw one unfamiliar face. "Hi!"
"Hey," Baekhyun smiled. "Sorry but who is that Park Chanyeol?"
"You don't know him?" Baekhyun shook his head. "How come?"
"Well. . ." Baekhyun lowered his gaze. "I live in province and we're earning just enough money to sustain ourselves. We don't have internet nor television."
"Oh. Sorry to hear that," the guy looked at Baekhyun in awe but he waved his hands as dismissal. "Anyways, Chanyeol's a singer. A famous soloist here in Korea. He's known worldwide because of his talents plus his looks. We're all excited to see him because he's been studying here at Yonsei but we never saw him. He admitted himself at Yonsei but our teachers will come at his dorm just to teach him or sometimes, online."
"That explains the hype about him," Baekhyun said, consecutively nodding in agreement. "Butㅡ"
"ㅡaahh!!! Look! Sunbae's here already! He's so handsome, right?!" The guy asked, squealing and jumping continuously just to have a glimpse of the said superstar who just arrived. "Oh, heavens! Look at that height! Every guy would've wished to have a pair of legs as long as Chanyeol's! Did I say he's handsome? Gosh! He's more handsome in person!"
Baekhyun tried doing whatever the guy is doing. His mouth was left wide open when he had an eye contact with the said superstar and he felt how his world suddenly stopped revolving. It's like he saw fireworks behind the superstar and the momentum suddenly stopped when they locked gazes. Not long ago, the superstar broke the eye contact because his body guards started escorting him inside his way to his dorm which is the same dorm where Baekhyun's staying.
"Chanyeol and I had an eye contact!" Baekhyun was pulled out of his trance when a freshman shouted next to his ears. "I feel like exploding!"
Shrugging, Baekhyun excused himself from the sea of students still aiming to have a chance of seeing the said superstar. The students started running inside their dormitory when they saw Chanyeol was about to enter the building, so Baekhyun has to stay away in order not to get hurt by the students with their raging hormones towards the idol.
The moment Chanyeol stopped right in front where Baekhyun's standing, he momentarily looked at the midget. "Baekhyun?"
"Y-you know me?" Baekhyun asked, pointing to himself.
"What are you doing here?" Chanyeol folded his arms on his chest. "I thought I was just hallucinating when I saw you!"
"Err?"
"Chanyeol, we have to go now. The students were making a commotion," his manager said. He didn't gave Chanyeol enough chance to talk once again after pulling his talent and consumed on walking their way to his room.
"I thought you don't know sunbae?" The guy Baekhyun was in talking terms a while ago showed up and Baekhyun jumped in shock. "Sorry!"
"I really don't know him. . ." Baekhyun said, still watching where Chanyeol's retreating back was last seen. "I was surprised that he knew my name. He even talked to me."
"Yes and look at sunbae's groupies. They're eyeing you like you're their own prey," when Baekhyun roamed his eyes around, he felt his limbs going numb when he saw plenty of eyes looking directly at him like in any time, they're going to launch themselves on him.
"W-wait! I really don't know that person!" Baekhyun defensively said in a high tone making everyone hiss on him. "I swear!"
"Who are you? Really?" A girl with brunette hair asked, pulling Baekhyun's collar. "If you want to have a peaceful life, stay away from my Chanyeol or else you'llㅡ"
"ㅡquit threatening him, Jessica," the guy intruded, pulling Baekhyun away from Jessica. "Stop being too obsessive towards sunbae like he's your boyfriend when in fact he's not. He doesn't even know your mere existence."
"How dareㅡ" Jessica was about to slap the guy when a hand stopped her from doing so. "ㅡYoora sunbae. . ."
"Don't ever lay a finger on any of them or else I'll make your life a living hell."
