IMPORTANT: The main storyline is Chapters 1-45, where she is in Seoul and hangs out with EXO. The [0.1-0.25] chapters are flashback, so no EXO. You can read the flashback now, or you can read it after you read the main chapters, you can decide. This chunk of flashback is supposed to be at the back but for now I have to put it randomly here, because I'm posting new EXO and Baekhyun chapters at the very back of this book, status: ON-GOING.

In the same city, another boy was thinking about that same unforgettable face.
It was a chilly night. The excitement and adrenaline rush had come and gone unknowingly fast. He couldn't bottle his desire to get some fresh air, maybe the last of it before he had to leave like a whirlwind once again. It was his first time in America and everything seemed like a dream. The sunshine too bright, the roads too wide, people too scarce, and soda too icy. But he loved everything about this place all the same. He was not ready to leave.
It was a split second decision, one he had purposefully refused to ponder on to avoid picturing any gloomy consequences. What he was about to do was too risky to second-guess; he knew he wouldn't have been able to convince himself if he had spent another thought on it. Stuffing the guilt inside the sheets, he quietly slipped into his shoes, holding his breath as he looked over to the immobile lump on the other bed to make sure the other boy was still soundly asleep. Darkness silenced the loud pounding of his heart and the boy glided across the distilled room before his reasons held him prisoner. The coldness of the door handle drilled into his blood vessels and he steadied himself as a shiver sent shockwaves through his entire body. He disengaged the lock, breathed out slowly one last time, and wrenched open the door.
The soft lights in the hallway were blinding. The eerie quietness pricked at his neck, even the sound of his own footsteps alarmed him. The boy bit on his tongue all the way down the elevator ride to calm the thrills rippling through his body. Heading straight toward the exit while bathing in the virtual screams of excitement in his head, he nearly gagged when the maknae called his name.
