Say Hi University of Music and Arts is a modern institution that nurtures young musical talents with a spirit of creativity and artistic passion. Nestled in a lush, tranquil green space, Say Hi is equipped with professional recording studios, practice rooms, and performance stages, providing students with opportunities to practice and express themselves. The university offers diverse departments such as vocal performance, composition, instrumental music, music production, and stage performance, attracting many students passionate about the arts.

Pham Khoi Vu - an introverted, quiet student who just started university. He has loved music since childhood and has always dreamed of striving to be like the artists he admires. But because of his shyness, he didn't believe in himself and didn't dare to express his passion and love. He didn't even know he had talent

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. His hesitant feet stepped onto the Say Hi University campus, and he was immediately overwhelmed by the bustling atmosphere of the first day of school.

As Khoi Vu walked along, his large eyes observed his surroundings. The school's structure, though simple, showed meticulous attention to detail. He approached a tall building.

Khoi Vu entered and went to a room, which was labeled "Waiting Room" on the outside. Seeing that everyone had friends, he unconsciously withdrew, went to a seat at the far end near the window, and just stared

For what seemed like an eternity, Khoi Vu was almost entirely absorbed in the garden behind the school, visible through the window.

"Um... hey there?"

A voice, with a slightly distinctive intonation, pulled Khoi Vu out of his reverie.

He spoke quickly, curiously looking at the person in front of him. It was a male student, seemingly a foreigner.

"You seem a little lonely, can we be friends?"

The male student replied, scratching his head, appearing a little embarrassed.

Khoi Vu blinked, feeling a little confused. This was the first time someone had actually asked to befriend him.

Khoi Vu nodded thoughtfully

Meanwhile, Hoang's heart warmed, and he was secretly happy to have made friends with such a lovely person like Khoi Vu so quickly. Vu's soft features and innocent eyes captivated Hoang's attention. The addition of his glasses and bangs falling over his forehead made him look like an adorable bookworm

Hoang quickly shook his head

Khoi Vu noticed, and tilted his head slightly

Immediately afterwards, someone appeared behind Nhat Hoang

"What are you doing, Hoang?"

Hoang looked at that person

He turned to look at Khoi Vu, smiling

Khoi Vu looked at the boy whom Nhat Hoang called Nam Son or something like that, smiled, and shyly waved hello

Nam Son's eyes brightened slightly, and he took a step forward to be level with Hoang, extending his hand to shake hands.

Nam Son seemed delighted to have made a new friend. Khoi Vu shyly returned the handshake, feeling the warmth from Nam Son's hand

Nam Son still smiled brightly, even though his heart was pounding, blushing without him realizing it. He held Khoi Vu's hand longer than necessary before realizing it and letting go

Khoi Vu was a little flustered.

Nam Son smiled more broadly, about to say something, when the school loudspeaker announced that everyone should gather

Nam Son sighed dejectedly, then extended his hand again towards Khoi Vu, his eyes filled with anticipation

Khoi Vu have an awkward smile, stood up, and followed the two newly acquainted male students out of the waiting room

Stepping onto the field, he unconsciously tightened his grip on Nam Son's hand as they walked through the crowd to the freshman seating area

__________

He sat down in his chair, flanked by Nam Son and Nhat Hoang, while Principal Huynh Tran Thanh gave his speech. Khoi Vu sat perfectly still, listening to every word like a well-behaved boy

When Tran Thanh mentioned something like, "New students will draw lots to get into their classes" - Khoi Vu's head was full of question marks

However, he was forced to comply

"Pham Khoi Vu" - Tran Thanh read aloud. Khoi Vu simply stood up and walked towards the stage. A corner of the upperclassmen suddenly fell silent
