The people were bustling in the lively city of Seoul at midday- Chani and Youngbin just happened to be two of those many people.

They were currently in an uniform shop, buying Chani the necessary clothes he needed to start school. He was accepted into SOPA after an audition he tried so hard for. Turns out the judges found him quite gifted.

How did he end up going to a performance art school, you may wonder? Well, it all happened when Youngbin returned from work...

'Why is there so much banging going on?' Youngbin wondered as he took his shoes off. He stepped into the house and steered his way towards the living room. He discovered an amazing sight when he saw Chani dancing to Taemin's Danger. Youngbin was astonished by this hidden skill the young boy had. He was watching Chani. Then, he had a lightbulb moment.

For the past few days, Youngbin struggled to figure out how Chani could go to school. Since he never attended school before, he wouldn't have any knowledge in any subject. It would be impossible to learn everything from primary school to high school in such a short time. Youngbin thought that Chani could enter a performing arts school instead as he doesn't have to focus as much on educational studies. He thought that Chani's dancing was very pleasing to watch.

Chani walked out of the changing room in black pants, a white shirt, a tie and yellow blazer with the school's logo.

"Is it comfy?" Youngbin asked.

"Yeah." Chani replied.

"Ahjumma! We'll take this please!" Youngbin said. Chani got changed as Youngbin payed and they left the shop.

"Chani! We should eat lunch now! I'll take you to this awesome café and we can have your favourite boba tea!"

They sat at by the cafe window and fed themselves with chocolate cake and milk flavoured boba.

Chani was watching all the pedestrians when his eyes suddenly caught a yellow colour. He zoomed out on his focus and saw they were SOPA students. He was in awe at how amazing they looked. The boys were handsome and the girls were pretty. He shrunk as he thought about his own appearance. 'Am I good looking?' He also started to doubt his level of skill in dancing and went quiet.

"You okay Chani? You haven't said much."

"Yeah. Yeah hyung I'm fine."

"We've finished our plans for the day, you wanna go now?"

"Yeah."

Chani had adapted to life in South Korea and next week, he was going to start school at SOPA high school.
