I slowly took the white letter which was lying on my desk and got rid of the envelope. There was a piece of paper inside of it and a text was written on the paper. The handwriting looked pretty. Why would someone let a letter on my desk?

"What is this, Park?", the piece of paper was taken out of my hands. "Hey! It's personal, don't read it!", I said and grabbed the letter. "The lesson already began, if you haven't noticed! Pay attention to me, I was explaining something.", the teacher scolded me. I looked angry into his big round eyes. "Yes, I'll put it in my bag.", I eventually mumbled, though.

I quickly took out the letter after the lesson came to an end.

Hello Park Chanyeol,

Let's meet at the big tree you always go to when you have break after school.

How does this person know of the tree I always go to? I'm always sitting there alone and reading. Who even wrote this?

Many questions were in my head, but I decided to not go there.

Why would I? I'm not wasting my time on meeting with someone who can't even tell me their name.

I went past a trashcan and tossed the paper into it. I silently went to my next class.

-

My last lesson ended and I went out of the classroom. The school library was my target. I slowly went in and as expected, nobody else was there. I took a book out of the shelf and started to read it. The wind was blowing strongly outside and it started to rain. I peacefully listened to the raindrops and read my book.

But soon the peaceful scene was interrupted by a person standing in front of me. It was some boy whose clothes and hair were dripping wet.

"I already expected that you wouldn't come."

I looked at him without saying anything.

"You're really not talking much, hm?"

His voice was really soft. His stare remained on my face and I looked at him with a cofused face. "Who are you, if I'm allowed to ask?", I asked quietly, not wanting to disturb the pleasant sound of the rain. "I'm the writer of this letter.", he said and showed me the letter I threw into the trashcan earlier. "Oh. I'm sorry, but I don't know you.", I answered, slightly embarassed, because he found out that I threw it away. "No problem, I expected that. But first, let me introduce myself. My name is Byun Baekhyun and I'm from class C. I already know your name is Chanyeol.", he said and gave me a small, but sweet smile. "But why do you know my name? And why do you know the tree I'm always at?", I asked him. "That's a secret.", he mumbled teasingly and grinned. "But let's get back to what I wanted to say. Because you didn't come to the tree... Let's talk here.", he said and sat down on the chair infront of me.

"Did you wait long outside?", I asked curiously and feeling slightly sorry, because he waited for nothing. "Yes, I did.", he answered honestly.

That must be the reason why he's so wet.

"Why'd you want to talk to me?"

"I wanted to ask you something."

"What?"

"I want you to act as my boyfriend for one month."

I froze and looked terrified into his eyes, while he just had a serious face.

"Why me out of all people?", I questioned.

"Because you are you."

"I'm sorry, but I can't do this. I don't even know you."

"That's why I want you to do it, you'll get to know me.", he looked into my eyes.

"But why would you want that?"

"I have reasons, you'll find out some time."

"Can I get some time to think of this? I can't just decide it right now."

"I'm sorry, but I know you well enough to know that you just won't give me an answer and avoid me. So no, I want an answer, now. And I have to say that I won't let you alone if you say no. I can be very annoying, you know."

I stared at my feet. He's not asking me, he's forcing me! And why does he even know so much about me? I remained quiet.

"Uhm-", I wanted to say no. But I didn't know how.

"I'll take this as a yes then. Thank you! I'll come to your house tomorrow morning so we can go together to school! Bye!", he said and ran out of the library. What?! I didn't even say anything! I stood up and also ran outside. He was already out of my sight. I sighed. What am I doing?

-

The bell woke me up. I stood up, still in my pajamas and having my messy bed hair. I sleepily walked to the door and opened it. It took me a moment to realize who the person in front of me was. "B-Baekhyun?", I asked surprised. "Yes, it's me, I said that I'd come to your house so we could go to school together, didn't I?", he said while grinning. "Y-Yeah, but I didn't even give you my adress.", I said and blowed my hair out of my face. "I'm Byun Baekhyun, what'd you expect?", he answered jokingly and went past me into my house. "Now hurry or we'll be late. How could you sleep until now?", he scolded me. "I didn't know you'd really come!"

"Kids these days..."

"I'm not a kid!"

I ran upstairs, changed into my clothes for school and did my hair. I was ready to go and took my bag.

"I'm ready. We can go.", I said. We went out of the door and made our way to our school. In the middle of the walking, he suddenly grabbed my hand and interwined or fingers. "What are you doing?", I said while looking at him. "We are dating, remember?", he just said and gave me a wholehearted smile. I just mumbled: "Whatever...", and did nothing.

When we arrived at school, he didn't let go of my hand and some people awkwardly stared at us. I sometimes hate people.

"I have english class now, bye.", he said and pecked my lips quickly. I shrieked and saw how he simply turned around and went away. What is going on?
