Wu Fan stood rooted in the middle of the courtyard, crinkled campus map clutched in his hands as his eyes shifted from building to building. It was his first day at the new university, and he regretted not moving in on time for the orientation. He tried to make sense of the hangul written on the map; while he was fluent enough in Korean to be

Today it seemed the whole student body was abuzz with the news of a new student. It seemed that's all everyone was talking about. And for poor Baekhyun, it was all his friends could speak of too. Unlike the others, Baekhyun was the least bit interested in the new commer.

"Apparently he was famous in his home town." One person would say. Moments later someone else would join in with the conversation.

"I heard he spent a year in Canada, and was on a film set!" The list went on. He did this and that, and everybody everywhere was enchanted by his stunningly handsome looks.

Frankly it was getting on Baekhyun's nerves. Already he hated him. He probably was someone with a stuck up personality who loved it when people worshiped at his feet. He would also be one to go thr easy way. Using his looks to get by.

"Digusting." Baekhyun mumbled to himself as he walked through the quad. "Just get to class and then everyone will shut up about him." Baekhyun spoke out loud. Earning a few odd looks from the people around him.

Trying to ignore the fact that he was turning heads down every hallway, Wu Fan walked quickly. He didn't want to seem impolite, however, so he gave a slight bow or a smile to anyone who waved or acknowledged him. The attention he was getting was dizzying, how could so many people already know who he was? Sometimes he even wished for a quiet, normal student life where he could just blend in at a party or have a tiny, unbothered group of good friends

Baekhyun turned his attention from the floor long enough to check to see if he had walked to the right classroom. He was about to walk into said classroom when he noticed an unfamiliar student walking over to him. Thinking he was simply going to walk by he didn't acknowledged the male at all. So he was a bit startled when the male touched his shoulder and spoke.

Baekhyun's eyes narrowed when he heard the slight Chinese accent in the male's voice. Suddenly recognizing him as the new transfer student. However the question he asked made a smirk form on the brunette's lips.

"Can you not read hangul or something? God why'd they even let you come here if you can't even read? Tsk tsk." He shook his head before finally answering the male's question. "Yes this is Anatomy II." He said, pushing past the taller male and walking into the classroom.

[intoyour_world]

Wu Fan stood, staring after the brunette with wide eyes. He was used to stinging words, of course, and normally was able to let them roll off his back, but something about the male's attitude really struck him to the core. He swallowed hard, cast a sheepish glance to the other students staring at him and ducked into the classroom.

He avoided the boy he just talked to like the plague. There were plenty of seats open still, and he made the conscious effort to select the one farthest from him. Wu Fan sighed as he sank into the uncomfortable chair, opening his backpack and pulling out his notebook. He decided to doodle in the margins until class began, but he couldn't stop himself from looking over at the cold brunette from time to time.

[mehrong_aj]

Baekhyun raised an eye brow at the way the blonde fumbled with his words. It was almost cute how flustered Wufan was being. But Baekhyun pushed all thoughts aside and focused on the drink. The brunette grabbed the drink from the male's hands eagerly, before moving out of the way of the door frame, allowing for the older male to come into the room.

"Baixian? Is that my name in Mandarin?" He asked, taking a long sip of the drink, his face brightening up at the sweet taste.

[intoyour_world]

Ducking his head, Wu Fan accepted Baekhyun's invitation and stepped over the threshold into his room. He was taking every victory he could get, and that was another one. The brunette's room was impressively neat, though not obsessively so, and he forced himself to turn back to the other male.

"'Baixian', yeah." The elder smiled sheepishly, blushing just a little. "That's what your name would be in Chinese. It's also a township."

[mehrong_aj]

"Really? That's cool. I wonder why Minseok never told me I had a Mandarin name." Baekhyun said. Though the last part was mostly to himself. He forced himself to set the cold drink down, looking up at the older male. Suddenly a blush formed on his cheeks, and he looked flustered.

"L-look Wufan...about earlier. Um...well I didn't mean any of it...I just woke up in a bad mood and hearing the same things over and over again got me annoyed so when we met I was angry and annoyed and I didn't want anything to do with anything. And I'm just really sorry. I shouldn't have treated you like that..especially on your first day..." He said, the apology becoming more of a babble than anything else so he ended it as fast as he could.

[intoyour_world]

Baekhyun looking up into his eyes with no shirt and a blush on his cheeks made Wu Fan's chest flutter again. The apology came as a surprise too, and he found himself staring, shocked.

"Thank you, Baekhyun." He said quietly. "I was really hoping that I hadn't offended you, and I'm glad that I didn't. Not directly, anyway - Believe me, I'd rather not have everyone talking about me, either." The blond sighed deeply. But then shook his head with a smile.

"Can we.. Start again?" He held out his hand politely, hoping for the younger to take it.

[mehrong_aj]

A smile formed on the brunette's lips as he looked at the older male, a soft chuckle rumbling in his throat. "I could hold the basic of conversations in Mandarin...depending on the province of course..." He said shyly, nibbling on his bottom lip. "But...consider the kiss an apology. For the way I had been acting earlier."

[intoyour_world]

Finally relaxing again, Wu Fan took the liberty of laying on his back on Baekhyun's bed. Here he was, with a boy he'd met by chance barely a few hours ago; in his dorm room, laying on his bed. And they'd just kissed. The blond thought maybe he'd like this school more than he anticipated.

"Apology /very/ much accepted, Baekhyun."

[mehrong_aj]

"Oh ah...I guess I better put on a shirt huh?" Baekhyun suddenly said, finally remembering that he was indeed shirtless. The younger male made his way over to his dresser, pulling open one of the drawers. He fumbled through, trying to decide on what shirt to wear. Suddenly Beakhyun was feeling self conscious, of his body, of his clothing, of /everything/.

[intoyour_world]

Not trusting himself to say anything in case he made an inappropriate comment, the elder just gave a nod-slash-shrug and continued to stare up at the wooden patterns on the cieling. When he heard the other finally make a decision, and there was the rustling of fabric, he smiled. "I was just about to ask you if you were cold."

[mehrong_aj]

Baekhyun bit his bottom lip, butterflies forming in his stomach at the nickname. He had to admit, he loved it whenever Wufan said his name. He snapped out of his tiny daze, realizing what the older had actually said to him. "No! Everyone I've kissed said I was a great kisser! Maybe you're the the one who needs practice."

The brunette finished his mini speach, crossing his arms. "But right now /you/ have to leave. My roommate will be coming back soon and he doesn't like company on week days." The younger boy grabbed onto Wufan's arm pulling him towards the door. "I'll see you in class tomorrow. Bye~!" He said, closing the door before the elder had a chance to speak.

[intoyour_world]

Before Wu Fan had any time to register what was happening, he was back in the hallway, dazed. He sighed, automatically thinking that he took things too far, as he had a habit of doing back home.

Fishing through his back pocket, he pulled out his campus map and a pen. Tearing a piece from the edge of the paper, he wrote a note.

"If you think I need practice, I'd be more than happy to learn from you. Later Baixian. - Wu Fan"

He wrinkled his nose a little at his less-than-perfect Korean penmanship, but it was readable. He wrote both Baekhyun's and his own name in Chinese, followed by his phone number at the bottom. He folded it once and slipped it underneath the door before making his way back down the hall.

[mehrong_aj]

Baekhyun looked down seeing the paper slide under the door. He grabbed it, chuckling at the slopy hangul. He read over the note his smile growing as he read every word. "You're so cheesy Wu Yifan." He mumbled, quickly putting Wufan's number in his phone.

[intoyour_world]

Wu Fan's mind was buzzing with the events of the past few hours, suddenly realizing how exhausted he was from the whirlwind of events and emotions... And it was only his first day here. He pushed the door to the dorm open and stepped into the cool air.

The sun was beginning to set, but he figured he might still have a good hour or so of daylight left; so he took his phone from his pocket, plugged in his headphones and began walking around the quad.

[mehrong_aj]

Minseok gave the taller blonde a large smile, waving at him. "Hey Wu Fan!" He said cheerfully. The blonde made his way into the room despite Wu Fan not saying anything about letting him in. The blonde walked over to the younger boy's bed, sitting down.

Minseok kicked his feet slightly as he bounced on the bed, testing the comfort level of it. He chuckled to himself before turning his attention to the confused male.

"I want to tell you that I know you're not the one who started that rumor about Baekhyun." He said, biting his bottom lip.

[intoyour_world]

Eyebrow arching drastically, Wu Fan shut the door again and followed Minseok into his room. He sat down in his desk chair, watching the other male bounce on his bed and feeling an honest smile tease at his lips. He had no idea if Minseok was trying to cheer him up, but it was working.

His smile fell again, however, as soon as his companion brought up the rumors. Wu Fan looked at the carpet instead. "I know I'm not, either. I'm glad you believe me."

[mehrong_aj]

Minseok frowned seeing the other's mood change drastically. He got off the bed and leaned against the younger's desk, looking down at the younger blonde

[intoyour_world]

"Chanyeol..." Wu Fan didn't know anything about who this was, but he already found the name left a bad taste in his mouth. He was still absorbing everything Minseok had just said, flushing slightly when the elder revealed he knew how much he was already falling for the small brunette. "Baekhyun told me that Chanyeol broke up with him... Twice? Why would he take issue with me getting friendly with Baekhyun if he ended their last relationship?" He rubbed the side of his head.

"I'm glad we squared most of this away, but... How do I get Baekhyun to believe any of this? Does he even know that Chanyeol's back?"
