Baekhyun sighed and opened up his locker, taking out stuff and books he need for the next lesson. He slams the locker door and turned back. He stood there for a few minutes, waiting for someone to appear. There he is, the wonderful, tall figure that no one can miss. His smile and big eyes were so perfect that it makes Baekhyun hate himself more.

“Why am I so short? Why can’t I be as tall as him? Why can’t I be as smart as he is? Why does everyone likes him?” Baekhyun thought while walking to his class.

Math class is not one of Baekhyun’s favorite subjects. To be exact, he hates every single class except for art class and music class. He sighed and walked to the back of the class, sitting at his place next to the window. Baekhyun is not the smartest kid in class, in fact, he wonders if he can even graduate high school.

Even though he tried hard, his grades are all terrible, C- and E are not signs of good grades.

“Hey Chanyeol over here!” He heard someone saying and immediately sits up.

Park Chanyeol is Baekhyun’s classmate. The abnormally tall guy is the smartest kid in class, no, in the whole school. He’s even athletic and talented in every ways. Baekhyun had to admit, he fell for Chanyeol because of his deep voice. His voice is just like melody to Baekhyun’s ears.

“Hey Baek!” Baekhyun snapped out of his daydreaming.

Is someone calling him? Is someone actually talking to him? Baekhyun is the odd guy in class, everyone thinks that he is weird and never talks to him. His only friend- Jongdae is in the other class and he only meet him during music classes. Who could want to talk to him?

He looked up.

“OH MY FREAKING GOD! IT’S PARK CHANYEOL! HE KNOWS MY NAME?” Baekhyun think to himself.

“Can I sit beside you?” Chanyeol asked with a wide grin.

“Ye.. yeah… Su.. sure!” Baekhyun said and stuttered.

“Thanks!” Chanyeol said and sat down.

Baekhyun can feel people are looking at him and Chanyeol weirdly. Why would Chanyeol want to sit beside him? He turned his head, wanting to peek at Chanyeol but turned back to the window immediately because Chanyeol was staring at him. And for the next 30 minutes of class, Baekhyun didn’t even pay any attention to the teacher.

“Byun Baekhyun!” His teacher called.

“Yes sir?” Baekhyun looked up.

“Are you listening to me? Why are you staring at Mr. Park next to you?” He asked Baekhyun.

Baekhyun was feeling so embarrassed that he wanted to kick himself.

“I was just umm… Umm…” Baekhyun was trying to look for an excuse.

He turned and looked at Chanyeol again and saw Chanyeol looking back at him, with a blank expression on his face.

“Baekhyun, detention later.” The math teacher said.

Baekhyun groaned, he was looking forward to after school, when he can meet with Jongdae in the music room.

The bell rang and Baekhyun rushed out of the classroom, towards the music room and sat there.

“What’s up Baekhyun?” Jongdae asked when he went in the music room.

“Hey, Jongdae. I can’t come to the music room after school. I got detention.” Baekhyun told him.

“What? But you never get detention!” Jongdae said. “What happened?”

Baekhyun told him everything. Jongdae is his most trusted friend. Either he would freak out and run away at the fact that Baekhyun is gay or he would still be Baekhyun’s best friend.
