"I'll be okay, mom!" exclaimed the chinese boy.
"But hao, traveling to another country is a huge step! What if you can't communicate or find your way around, what if you get lost, what if you don't get into college?"
"You know, I've been learning Korean for years just for this opportunity mom, and I'm sure there will be friendly people to help me get around; I'll get used to it. Don't worry about me; I'll call you every day."
"Okay then.."
Hao gave his mother a hearty hug before picking up his luggage and heading to security.

-

"gosh that was a long flight" he said yawning and stretching his arms.
"now time to find my way to this apartment.." he stopped a taxi on the road hopping in and using his poor korean to tell the location.

After arriving at his new apartment he attempted to make the place feel like home and got ready for his first day as a senior of a korean highschool.

- the following day (Monday) -

"I'm heading to school mom see you later!"
"Be safe hanbin!" The boys mom said as she heard the jingle of the cafe bells.

-

loud chatter and laughing sounds filled the classroom as everyone was energetic and happy to see their friends after a long break from school.

"hyung you're here !" hanbin heard as he entered receiving a big hug from his friend gyuvin.
"did you hear we are getting a transfer student from China today!!" his friend exclaimed
"China !? A new friend~" their classmate ricky announced happily as he is also from China.
"In senior year? Isn't it a bit late" said hanbin
"I mean maybe it's the only chance he got? I don't know but I'm excited to have someone new to talk to!!"

"Settle down everyone!" Ms. Lui yelled making the class go quiet
"today we will have a transfer student joining our class, he only moved recently so make sure to be nice to him!"
the room was filled with gasps when the door opened and a handsome boy with brown hair entered the classroom.

"Omg he's so handsome"
"I know right"

"Please introduce yourself to the class" the teacher said to him.
"hi I'm zhang hao and I'm from Fujian China, I hope we can get along" claps filled the classroom as he introduced himself.
"Go take a seat zhang hao"
zhang hao walked down closer to the back of the classroom sitting down beside gyuvin and hanbin.
"Aw man he didn't sit here" ricky sighed .
"hi!! I'm gyuvin and this is my friend hanbin! I hope we can be friends" gyuvin said reaching his hand out to zhang hao
"nice to meet you too" zhang hao said shyly shaking hands with gyuvin.

-Later at lunch-

Zhang hao was sitting by himself while scrolling through pictures he took with his mom before he left, it would be a lie to say he didn't miss home and didn't have any regrets of leaving.
"Can we sit here?" Zhang hao heard, it was gyuvin, hanbin and two other boys who he hadn't met yet.
"Sure.."

disclaimer : since this story is set in highschool and is pure fiction I will be lowering the older members ages (also sorry im not familiar with how korean age works.)

"Since you are new here, I thought we could introduce ourselves and say some stuff about us!" gyuvin suggested
"I'll go first! My name is gyuvin and I am 19 years old"

"I'm ricky; young and rich, tall and handsome, oh and I'm also 19 years old"

"I'm yujin, han yujin and I am 17 years old"

"I'm sung hanbin and I am 20 years old" the eldest said smiling brightly

Zhang hao looked fondly at hanbin, admiring his smile and the glisten in his eyes before introducing himself..again
"hi I'm zhang hao and I am 20"
"Zhang hao why did you decide to come to korea at the end of highschool?" the youngest asked
"Well.. I wanted to study classical music which I could've done in China but then a few years ago I got an interest in kpop and korean culture, I would've moved here years ago but I needed to finalise my chinese education and I didn't want to leave my parents for too long" said the elder
"Whoaa you have the same dream as hanbin!" Gyuvin said excited.
Zhang hao looked over to hanbin who was just nodding his head and smiling, he didn't look like he was paying much attention but he looked so sweet and kind, he looked like someone the older boy wanted to get close to.

-School bell rings-

"Already!?" Ricky cries
"What classes do we all have?"
"Yujin and I have math" gyuvin said unenthusiastically
"I have history.." ricky groaned
"Literature" zhang hao said
"Oh same as me" zhang hao looked towards the voice and realised it was hanbin who said it to him.
"Let's go!" Hanbin said ushering zhang hao to walk with him.
The two started walking quickly towards their class as it had been a while since the bell rang, but hanbin still tried his best to start a conversation.
"Are you liking the school so far? Or liking Korea?" The younger asked
"The school is actually good I didn't expect to make some friends already, so I am really thankful for that. I'm liking Korea but its a bit hard to get used to transport and living alone, and the training to become an idol is especially hard.." zhang hao muttered the last bit.
"Ah I understand that, by the way can I call you hao hyung?"
Zhang hao was a bit taken a back since he had only know the younger for a few hours but he didn't really have a problem with it.
"Sure?"

Hanbins phone buzzes
The notification showing
"Seniors gc 😎"
Kim Jiwoong : Party at my place this Friday for the new school year! Whole year is invited!!

"Oh jiwoong is having a party later this week, are you coming hao hyung?"
"I'll think about it"

-Friday 1 hour before the party-
hanbin had arrived early since he was friends with jiwoong and wanted to help him set up since thier would be a lot of people.
Jiwoong and hanbin were sitting on two bar stools chugging bottles of water since they were exhausted after setting up.
"thanks for helping hanbin, I really would've struggled if I didn't have your help"
"Any time hyung! You know I'm always willing to help"

-the doorbell rang and guests started entering-
