The next day, I woke up with dark circles and messed up hair that was becoming a legit birds' nest.

" Ugh! What is wrong with me!" I screamed. When I looked into the bathroom mirror, I realized I was blushing big time. I started slapping my cheeks, and looked at my hands. All I could see was a bunch red splats. " Why am I so blushy and girly all of a sudden? It's like being with Chanyeol all over agai- wait. Why am I thinking of HIM?! ARGHH!" I screamed and face palmed myself, and instinctively, for no apparent reason, slapped the mirror. " God, why?!" I whispered, barely.

" Uh… What's going here?" asked my brother shyly.

" Nothing much. Besides hitting and hurting myself, do you need anything?" I said. I had to literally strain my voice to say my question. I was not off to a good start.
When I finally finished getting ready for school and eating breakfast, I became hyper. Like, I was starting to jump up and down when EXO songs came up, and I became addicted to Super Junior. I'm not usually like this. I have always played the calm and mature type, but I guess I was still frazzled after the long day at EXO's house and the concert. Oh GOD! If only I could see Chanyeol - Oppa again… " Wait, why am I thinking about him?!" I shrieked in my mind. " You know it's impossible that Chanyeol will speak with you ever again. Besides, he was dating Sandara Park from 2NE1 or something like that... They looked great together, and the duets they sang/played were melodious. It felt like the songs were sent from heaven." I finally gave up on the idea of meeting Chanyeol or EXO at all for the rest of my life. Eventually, my iPod played " A Million Pieces" by Kyuhyun ( of Super Junior). The music was so enticing that I didn't even noticed the tall young man standing right in front of me. I accidentally knocked right into his chest.

" Uh - oh. Who do we have here," said the stranger. I knew at that moment that this dude had a big smirk slapped right onto his face.

" Oh! I'm really sorry! I wasn't paying attention!" I quickly explained. I didn't want it to be one of those movie scenarios where everything becomes quiet and awkward, but you're still babbling about how you were being careless, and - you probably get the point. When I finally looked up after shaming myself a billion times, I saw a boy with hazel brown hair and dark brown hair like thick chocolate. I realized it was Park Chanyeol.

" Huh! You finally realized!" he smirked. I was really loving that smirk. I couldn't get enough of it, but I had studies and extracurriculars to focus on. I was a straight A student at the best art and music school/ university in the world; I couldn't let love get in the way.

" Um… So what do you want?" I inquired slowly. Then I realized a familiar person behind him. It was Mrs. Park! She's my current flute, violin, piano, and guitar teacher at the school/university, and she's awesome! I bowed 90-degrees toward her direction, when I realized that Chanyeol was just staring. " What are you staring at?! Behave and bow at Mrs. Park! You're being rude." I hissed threateningly. Instead, he gave me a puzzled look.

" Oh, Y/N! You're being to polite. Have you met my son, Park Chanyeol? Chanyeol, you're being rude! What have I taught you over the years?! You're making me look bad," Mrs. Park said sweetly.

" Wait - PARK CHANYEOL IS YOUR SON?!" I said loudly. I had problems with asthma, so it prevented me from yelling or screaming or shouting.

" Yes, of course he is. You should also meet my husband. Here," Mrs. Park said, while dragging her husband, whom was writing a schedule or something down in a notebook.

" Hello, young woman! What is your name?" said Mr. Park quickly. I barely saw his transition of slipping his mechanical pencil into his back pocket and putting his notebook into a leather bag.

" My name is Y/N. Nice to meet you, Mr. Park. How are you doing?" I said politely.

" Nice to meet you, too. And I'm doing fine. How about you?"

" Well," Suddenly, Mrs. Park put both of her hands on my shoulders, and lead me to my first period class. We were one hour early, but who cared?" Here you go. By the way, you were being too polite. You're one of the best students I have, so you don't have to be polite. Talk casually and be normal," she whispered.

" OH! Thank you so much, but I think it'll be a little hard for me to not be formal to my teacher." I replied. I was really thankful that Mrs. Park helped me with that awkward situation, but I did admire that Mr. Park was formal and organized, even to a person who was younger than him. I quickly came back into reality by feeling a light tap on my shoulder.

" So anyways, you're probably wondering why I'm - we're here, right?" said Chanyeol. I knew it was him, because his dark and husky voice was easy to remember.

" You're right about that, but I don't mind you staying around me, as long as you don't disturb my studies," I said calmly. I loved EXO, but I wasn't a crazy fan; if I met SNSD, I would go crazy!

" Just as I thought. So, EXO and other SM artists are here - " his sentence was broke off by a group of loud boys running towards what seems to be f(x).

" Please continue," I permitted, as the rowdy group sprinted past us. They probably didn't even notice us, but we were too focused on our conversation to notice that they found a shortcut through the classroom to get to the other side.

" Continuing on, we're here to scout for musicians, composers, and trainees here at this prestigious school. If we were to find someone who was very talented in all three categories, they'll be all three, except that they'll be more busier." he said.
" Wow! He actually sounds smart!" I thought in awe. I thought he was an average person, but he was still my bias for being the " happy virus" of EXO. " Cool! Can you accept freshmens at this school, too?" I inquired.

" Yes, of course. We just need somebody who has talent in one or more out of the three categories. It doesn't matter the person's age, all that matters is the amount of his or her talent." informed Chanyeol.

" So that means I can enter?" I asked.

" Yep," said Chanyeol simply.

" How are you going to find ' talent' in this university/ school?"

" That's simple. Each student next week will be put in a classroom privately with either a SM artist or the managers or the chairman himself. If you impress the private judge you have, you have passed the first test. After that, you'll perform in front of the entire Board of Directors. Then, you'll perform in front of all the SM artists. If we like you, you're a musician, composer, or trainee,"

" Wait, so there's three rounds in total?!"

" Yep,"

" Are you kidding me?!"

" Nope," I literally facepalmed myself. Not only did I realize that Chanyeol was a superstar WHO WAS TALKING TO ME, I have the chance of actually becoming an artist. My parents both graduated with a PhD degree and became successful business people, but despite being very strict about grades, they supported whichever career I chose to do. So, I wanted to become an artist, and when I told them that, they exploded with happiness! They wanted more variety in the family, so they hugged me to death for about one hour straight . I loved their reaction, but I don't want to be hugged to death. I mean, I was like 17 already! That would be a really bad way to die…or possibly suffocate.

" Earth to Y/N! Are you there?" asked Chanyeol, concern lacing his tone.

" Yeah, I'm fine. Um, what do you want now?" I replied as calmly as I could. I still don't understand my ability to be able to be calm in a crazy situation like now. At least most of the time. It was getting harder since THE PARK CHANYEOL was standing in front of me!

" You know, I wanted to be your judge for the first round, so is that okay?" Chanyeol said bashfully. That was a weird reaction, but I kind of liked it.

" Sure. I would be delighted." I said happily. Then, I heard cooing sounds behind me.

" Is love in the air? I think I sense something like that!" said a familiar tone, yet I couldn't depict who it was. I had heard it somewhere before but I couldn't quite place it.

" UGH! I'm just being polite to my mom's favorite student. She'll be so angry at me if I don't be all gentlemanly! Now please SHUT UP!" Chanyeol snapped at Kai.

" Oh! Don't be rude to us. We're your brothers!" said Baekhyun putting on a sad face when he was really laughing in the inside.. No matter what the situation, he still was an optimistic person even though he likes to tease us a bit.

" Stop teasing him! Like you said, we're brothers, and we have to be kind and supportive to each other," said Kris. I'm sure I have a chance on being picked. Ever since I heard EXO's music, I was constantly trying to make up my own. I have gotten pretty good now and have a pretty good chance of getting picked.

" I think-" Just as I was about to say my thought to Chanyeol, I heard a scream behind me.

" AHHHHHHHH! OH MY GOSH! It really is him!" A group of girls raced past me and engulfed Park. I was still able to see him, because he was so tall. He could reach out a hand and touch the ceiling if he wanted too. He was literally taller than my brother, who's taller than my dad! The supposed leader of the pack started cooing and was sliding up to Park. She was no doubt the prettiest of the group, with long silky hair ( colored blonde) and beautiful hazel eyes. She started hugging and nuzzling him even though Park had the most disgusted and retorted look on his face, which obviously suggested that he didn't exactly like what that stranger was doing to him. When Dumb Blonde ( I was really hating her now) put her hand on Park's chest, I was surprised to feel a flare of jealousy tear through my heart. The rest of EXO was trying to pry the girls off of Park, but the girls seemed to have iron grips and was stuck like superglue on him.

Dumb Blonde whispered in Chanyeol's ear, " Want to go out tonight?" That's when I totally lost it. I marched straight up to Park, pushing the girls left and right, not caring what they were crying about, like chipped nails and destroyed hairdos and grabbed him by the collar ( maybe not a good idea, but still, I had to do something). I was not going to let a snotty little girl push around my bias. Sometimes these crazy fans really need to take a drink of cold water and possibly dump some on there heads and cool it. Luckily, Mrs. Park noticed the commotion and brought EXO ( including Chanyeol) and me to safety.

" Thank you so much! You really saved us there, Mrs. Park!" I said, still holding his collar, causing Park to lean down to my height.

" That was no big deal. Thank you so much for standing up for my son. I know I should be complaining on your actions, but seriously, you did something not regular fans would do. Instead of just going up to him and showing off, you actually showed that you care about him. Not just because he is a world famous star, but because you understood that he needed the help. I owe you one!" she replied.

" No, no, no, NO! I owe you one!" I exclaimed, my voice rising with each word, but that was the wrong thing to do. I quickly got an asthma attack, and fell to the ground, straining to breath in as much oxygen as I possibly could. I let go of Chanyeol's collar.

" Oh no! Not again! She had soo many asthma attacks in the beginning of the school year! What am I going to do with her!?" said Mrs. Park warily. She quickly grabbed my bag and rummaged through it's contents, almost dumping everything on the floor, trying to find my inhaler. She found it after a couple seconds of rummaging and handed it gently to me. I took a great gulp of much needed oxygen and after a couple of inhales and exhales, I felt as good as new.

" You know, Y/N, if I was always by your side, I will help you no matter what," whispered Chanyeol in my ear. I looked at him and he quickly looked away, blushing hard. I realized I was heating up, and apparently the other boys did. That means…* Gulp*

" Teehee ( Ryan Higa reference)! I really smell love in the air!" said Chen with his troll face on. I looked around and found that everyone except D. O., had a derpy face on. Tao was laughing so hard that he sounded like a girl. If I wasn't there to see him laugh, I was pretty sure that I would've confused him with a crazy fan girl.

I facepalmed myself ( again) and said," If you guys are going to continue rambling on how there's ' love' in the air, you're going to late for the introductory speech at the MPR ( MultiPurpose Room).

" Shoot! She's right! We have to get going! Thanks for the reminder, and if you see the Valedictorian of this school/ university, mind telling him or her that she has to prepare, too?" exclaimed Suho.

" Ahem! You're talking to the Valedictorian right now! Oh, I need to tell my brother. Our school actually has two Valedictorians, my brother and I. Technically, the people you saved," I said in a matter-of-fact tone. They just stared at me with wide eyes and mouths gaped open. " What?! It's not that hard to ace this school! If you take extra classes and lessons, it could get you anywhere!" They still looked at me in shock. " Earth to EXO! Let's get going!" EXO finally came back from who-knows-where, maybe EXO land or something, and headed to the MPR. We saw my brother and I waved him over.

" What now sis?" he asked.

" We have to do some speeches about the recruiting thingy. You've done this before, so what are we supposed to say?" I replied.

" That's simple. Just follow my lead, okay?"

" Got you," My brother and I have some sort of bond that we don't quite understand, but we're able to understand each other without even speaking or doing anything. We're not even twins; usually twins have this capability, but we have it, too.

" Now, let's welcome all of the SM artists and directors. Valedictorians, please come up, too," said the booming voice of our principal.

" Would our valedictorians like to say anything?"

" Yes, we would like to welcome and greet these idols and directors. They have taken their time to come and pick up students who have talent in the music industry," started my brother. I quickly took over.

" In this music and art school, there are many talented students. If anyone is able to be picked up, we would like to congratulate to early. Let's all work our hardest, and FIGHTING to everyone!" I said.

" We will have the informational pamphlets on the tables outside," continued my brother.

" Now, a word with the directors of SM," I said.

" Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your time. We would like to say how much we appreciate the teachers and coaches. They have supported our entertainment business for a long time, and they have impacted many students, like you. Some of the idols we have on stage actually have graduated from here, like: Park Chanyeol, Suho, SeoHyun, and Sunny. They have graduated with honor rolls here, and have become great stars. Let's give them a round of applause!" I noticed that SeoHyun and Chanyeol both have stood right next to me! I was fangirling so much in the inside. They were my biases in SNSD and EXO! They are awesome!

" Thank you so much valedictorians and SM people. You may all sit down," said the principal. After that, it was regular announcements and information about the audition. Then, I thought of something.

" Bro, why didn't you get in or at least audition for SM?" I asked.

" Well you see sis, being at an artistic and musical school doesn't mean you have to aim to become an artist. I actually went for a job, so I couldn't make it to the practice sessions. I did get in, but I didn't have enough time. Remember, I'm only one year older than you," replied my brother.

" OH! That makes much more sense. Do you recommend to try it out?"

" Duh! It's a great learning experience, and plus you're the best at playing the flute, violin, piano and guitar!" Apparently, Chanyeol and SeoHyun overheard our whispered conversation, and pulled us both to the corner of the MPR, basically backstage.

" You know how to play the guitar, violin, piano, and flute?!" said SeoHyun, shocked.

" It's really not many instruments. I remember that Irene of Red Velvet can play five," I replied.

" I know, but she's older than you. Both of you must be talented!" exclaimed Chanyeol, pointing at my brother and I.

" It's nothing much really," mumbled my brother. He was in a daze to see SeoHyun. Taeyeon was his bias, but to be able to see his second bias was an almost dream-come-true. And SeoHyun had noticed, too. She just laughed quietly, and I think I got a nosebleed. I was even charmed by her charm.

" Can you play a duet or something?!" asked both of them in unison.

" Sure, why not? Sis, are you okay with it?" said my brother softly.

" Yup!" I said ecstatically. I couldn't wait to show a duet with my brother! We were always invited to big concerts and performances with our duets. This will be a piece of cake, except for the fact that Chanyeol is like a professional in the guitar, and SeoHyun was the master at the piano, and she was pretty good at the guitar. This was going to be tough to actually really impress them

" So… When will be performing?" I inquired.
" That's easy to answer. RIGHT NOW!" shouted Chanyeol. I heard some shuffling outside.

" Chanyeol, don't be too loud, now," scolded SeoHyun kindly.

"OK, OK, Ok!" replied Chanyeol.

" Let's get our instruments first," said my brother in rather composed figure. He finally calmed down, and was behaving himself.
" I'll go grab my guitar, and you'll tune the piano at Mrs. Park's room. Got it?" I informed.
" Got you," replied my brother. We nodded at the same time, and separated. I sprinted across the campus ( my brother probably did too), and came upon my fourth period class. I flung open the metal door, and quickly spotted my large guitar case. I grabbed it, and sprinted to Mrs. Park's room. I saw Chanyeol and SeoHyun leisurely walking to the class, so I took that chance to prepare myself.
When I entered the room, I saw that my brother was already 75% finished tuning the piano, so I helped him tune the rest. My guitar was already in tune, so I just needed to set up the chairs and sheet music.

" Are you finished yet, sis? I think they're right around the corner!" screamed my brother from the closet at the corner of the room. He was probably getting some materials to clean the instruments.

" Almost! I just have to get the stands now!" I replied loudly, but making sure that I wouldn't get another asthma attack again. " Now I'm finished! Are you?"

" Yep," Just at that moment, the door knob twisted, revealing what was supposed to be two guests. Instead, a whole stampede of idols, teachers, and students came rushing into the room. Among the whole traffic of people, I spotted Mrs. Park with her comforting smile on. I received courage and immediately told everyone to calm down and sit down.
Once everything was finished getting organized, we began to play " 3. 6. 5." by EXO. It was as lively as the original version, but it sounded beautiful with classical instruments. Next, we played " Haru Haru" by Big Bang, and finished with " Lion Heart" by SNSD. But the crowd cheered and jeered for an encore, so we decided to do some remixes with some looping.

" Audience members, please sit still! We're just grabbing some materials for our encore performance. We'll be back in five to 10 minutes!" cried my brother. We quickly grabbed all the plugs and outlet, and set up everything as quickly as could. The audience hushed themselves when we started to tune, and we were on our way. Our remix included the songs: " Sorry Sorry" by Super Junior , " 4 Walls" by f(x), " Goodbye Summer" by f(x) ( including EXO's D. O.), and ended with " You Think" by SNSD. When we finished, there was no applause. I looked at my brother and realized that both of us were tensed by the shocking silence. As we began to doubt ourselves, my best friend GaEun started hollering and congratulated us. I began to relax, and before I knew it, everyone was giving us a standing ovation. Our principal looked at us with such pride that he learned how to do an oversized eye smile, but Tiffany's ( from SNSD) eyesmile still looked better.
When everyone was evacuated slowly out the room, I felt a slight touch on my left shoulder. I quickly turned my head, but my neck made a loud cracking sound that made me wince. I stood up, holding my neck and then tripped over my stand and sheet music and as a grand finale, face planted right into Chanyeol's chest.

" Oh, good grief! Not again! This is the second time I've seen your sister faint on me!" whined Chanyeol gripping my shoulders as he supported me.

" I'm really sorry! My sister is very careless and can be a total drag. Let me take of her now," apologized my brother.
" Nah, it's okay. I can handle her weight," and with that, He laid me down carefully on the carpet floor.
