Divorced Couple Shares Each Side Of Their Love Story

"Can you guys start off by saying your name and age?"

"Do Kyungsoo, 34."

"Byun Baekhyun, 34."

What was your first impression?

Baekhyun's side >>>>>

"We were in college, I worked at this one coffee shop near campus that everyone would go to and we'd have an open mic night every Friday. Kyungsoo was a friend of my coworker and he came in to sing something. I had seen him around campus once or twice, never really thought about him much since he was usually really quiet and kept to himself," Baekhyun lightly laughed, "But when he started singing I was so shocked, he had such a beautiful and smooth voice and it completely swept me off my feet. I had been singing for a while too, but when I heard him that night I wished I had a voice like that."

"I feel like he didn't really like me when I first started talking to him, I'm not really subtle with my flirting so it probably scared him a little," he chuckled, "but eventually, he gave into my charm and we really hit it off."

Kyungsoo's side <<<<<

"It was back in college. He worked in a coffee shop that my friend worked at and he had told me to come perform something for open mic night because I like to sing. I remember him coming up to be after the performance and I didn't tell him this at the time, but I thought he was really cute. He looked so happy and excited to talk to me. The way his eyes lit up when he spoke about my singing was what attracted me to him, I think. He was so different from me, that's what scared me I think. I knew I could fall for him easily, but I guess I didn't really want to, cause I knew we were too different. He was really outgoing and made friends so easily, everyone loved him, I wasn't like that. But I couldn't say no to him and eventually we started going out."

Baekhyun doesn't know why he agreed to work today, he still has so much to do to prepare for Christmas. The shop is packed, he doesn't know why everyone would want to spend the day before Christmas Eve at a small coffee shop, figures people would be hurrying to the stores to buy last minute gifts, but here they are. The bright side was that it's extremely warm inside, despite the three feet of snow and the biting winter air outside. It's open mic night again and Chanyeol's been waiting for it all day, said he and his friend were suppose to perform something they had been practicing all week for, even brought his old guitar and everything.

Baekhyun recognizes Kyungsoo's face from around campus. Those big eyes and thick lips were hard things to forget. They had never actually talked before, Kyungsoo was always alone whenever Baekhyun had seen him, always sitting under the shade of a tree with a book in his hand or sitting by himself at a table in the library. He's the last person Baekhyun expected to walk through the doors of the shop that night.

"I didn't know he could sing."

Chanyeol pauses his ministrations of tuning his guitar to look up at the boy on the stage adjusting the mic. "Kyungsoo? Oh yeah he's amazing, we always jam out together on the weekends."

Baekhyun hums in acknowledgement, watching the other as he stood awkwardly on stage waiting for Chanyeol to come up.
