CHAPTER 21
The plane finally landed in China. All of you exited the plane and took the van that was already waiting for all of you, on the way to EXO-M’s dorm.
Hour later, the van finally stopped. All of you went out from the van and entered EXO-M’s new dorm.
“Ms. Shim, this dorm has only 4 rooms and it was already divided to all of us but you need to stay with the other members for a while.” the manager explained.
Your eyes widen, “Mwo?! I’ll stay with them?!” you gasped in disbelief. “Don’t worry. Once we added another room here, you’ll move there.” the manager said, “Or you can stay with me in my room if you don’t want to stay with the 2 of them.” he added.
You study the manager’s face and paused, “Araseo, I’ll stay with the other members.” you replied, afraid to sleep in the same room with the old man.
“Is that so? Okay! So, where do you want to sleep? Kris and Chen’s room, Xiumin and Tao’s room or Luhan and Lay’s room?” he asked.
You looked at EXO-M members one by one and made a long pause. EXO-M was staring back at you.
Luhan give you his angelic smile. Xiumin show you his bun face. Lay smiled at you and so did Chen. Tao stared at you with a serious yet scary face. Kris looked at you seriously.
You let out sigh, “Do I really need to stay with the 2 of them in one room?” you asked the manager. He simply nodded.
You looked at EXO-M once again. They’re still looking at you with the same expression except with Tao. He’s eyes was scary but you could see that he was shyly staring at you.
With another sigh, you spoke. “I’ll stay with Xiumin and Tao.” you blurted out. The unchoosed members face fell.
Xiumin jumped in happiness and the one who surprised you is Tao, you saw him smiled after you choose to stay in their room.
*Woah! He smiled. That was the first time I saw him smile.* you thought, amused.
“Okay then. Xiumin and Tao, go and bring her to your room.” the manager ordered. Xiumin and Tao beamed and nodded before leading the way to you.
“So, the others go to your respective rooms also.” the manager said. They nodded and do what their manager said.
With that, the manager went also to his room.
---
“Mwo?! There are only two beds?!” you gasped in disbelief. Just then, the manager came.
“Boys, can you help me bring the extra bed to this room?” he asked. You sigh, finally relieved.
Tao and Xiumin nodded. Minutes later, they’re back lifting the bed and positioned it inside the room.
“This will be your bed and feel comfortable, ne?” the manager said. You nodded and bowed, “Dae. Gomawo.”
The amnager give you a nod, “Go and have a dinner after unpacking your things, okay?” the manager said. All you 3 nodded, “Dae.”
Then the manager left.
“Do you want to help with that?” Xiumin asked. “No. Don’t mind my business, just do yours.” you replied withouth looking at him, unpacking your stuffs.
“Okay. As you wish! But atleast you choose to stay with us.” he beamed and went back to unpack his things.
“I wonder why did you choose to stay with us?” Tao suddenly blurted out. You shrugged, “I don’t have a reason.” you simply replied.
“Then why don’t you choose the others?” Xiumin asked. You lifted your head to face them, “Do you want me to choose the others then?” you raised an eyebrow.
Tao and Xiumin quickly shook their heads, “Ani. We’re just asking.” Xiumin snapped as Tao nodded in agreement.
You rolled your eyes continued unpacking, “Then stop asking me.” you said.
With that, they didn’t ask you anymore and also continued unpacking their things.
CHAPTER 22
You, both Tao and Xiumin went out the room after unpacking then straightly went to the dining area to meet up with the others.
Just when the 3 of you reach the dining area, the manager suddenly passed by.
“Hyung, where are you going?” Xiumin asked. “I have something important to do. I won’t be eating with you guys, mian. I’ll be back pass midnight or maybe tomorrow. I don’t know. Just eat without me.” with that said, the manager left.
You let out a sigh, *Now, I’m stuck with these boys!*
“What’s that sigh for?” Tao suddenly snapped you. You shrugged, “Nothing.” was all you said took a seat at the dining area.
Tao pouted but followed you. He sat next to you as Xiumin was about to sit on your other side, Kris already did.
Xiumin frowned, “I supposed to sit next to her.” he said as he sat in front of you instead.
Kris rolled his eyes, “You’re already sharing room with her. Let the others have a chance to get close to her.” he snapped. Xiumin made a face, “Whatever!”
You just ignored him and started your food when you felt a pair of eyes glued to you. You looked up and saw Luhan seriously staring at you.
“What?” you asked in annoyed tone. Then you saw him frowned, “You must choose to stay with me and Lay.” he stated with a pout. Lay nodded in agreement.
“No. You must choose to stay with me and Kris.” Chen complained. “No worries. You’ve made a right choice.” you heard Tao said who’s sitting next to you.
You ignored them and looked back on your food when you saw an arm from your other side reach your plate as he put some food there. “Don’t mind them. Just eat.” Kris said.
*Finally! There’s someone here not trying to annoy me.* you slowly turned to Kris but then he said, “But you must really choose to stay in our room.”
You facepalmed yourself before rolling your eyes and just continued your food, completely ignoring them.
After the dinner, you volunteered to wash the dishes. Even they’re stopping you of doing that, you still won and wash the dishes.
After washing the dishes, you walked towards the living room and found them talking with a serious face. Then your eyes caught Tao’s expression, scared.
Your head voluntarily shake because you saw that expression again for the second time. *I really can’t believe he’s the crying baby among them all.*
Just then, you heard Tao started crying. You facepalmed yourself, *There he is again...*
Even Tao is already crying, the boys still continued talking about scary things.
You let out a sigh before stepping in, “Yah! Tao is already crying. You guys should stop talking about scary things now.” you blurted out.
Tao brightened and went your side. Kris raised an eyebrow, “Did you just defended Tao?” he asked in surprise.
Tao smiled, “Gomawo, Haewon-ah..” he beamed and wiped his tears. You turned to him and rolled your eyes, “I’m not defending you, okay. I just can’t take to hear your cries.” you said. Tao pouted.
You turned back to the others, “Now, stop making loud noise. I’m going to sleep now.” was all you said then left.
“I’ll go with you too.” Tao called then followed you.
Xiumin stood up. The others look at him in confusion. “I’m going to sleep too.” he beamed and walked away.
The others left with a pout on their faces. “I want to sleep in the same room with her too.” Luhan whined. “Nado.” Chen agreed.
Kris shrugged, “I have an idea.” he blurted out. The other 3 looked at him. Lay smirked, “I know what you’re thinking and I like that idea.” he said.
Chen and Luhan were still confused but then Kris blurted out,
“Go get your own blankets and pillows. We’ll going to sleep in their room.”
CHAPTER 23
As you was about to lay on your bed, the door burst open that made you turned on that direction and so was Xiumin and Tao.
Surprisingly, you saw Kris, Chen, Lay and Luhan standing there along with their pillows and blankets.
You raised an eyebrow, “What are you guys doing here? And what’s that blankets and pillows for?” you asked.
“We’re going to sleep here.” Kris simply replied as he made his way inside the room. The others followed.
“Yah! It’s our room. You guys better go back to your respective rooms.” Xiumin snapped. “No. It’s unfair! We want to sleep with her too.” Chen whined.
Xiumin rolled his eyes. “But Haewon chose to stay with us so I think it’s fair.” Tao muttered.
Kris shot him a look that made Tao shut up his mouth. Then Kris turned to you, “You have no problem with this, right?” he firmly asked.
You raised an eyebrow, “Of course I do have! A big problem!” you snapped. “Whether you like it or not, we’re going to sleep here.” Kris turned on his back, “Boys, go set your place.” Kris nodded them to go.
With that, the other 3 fully entered the room.
You narrowed your eyes to Kris, “Yah! What do you think you’re doing?! We can’t stay in just one room! This will be crowded.” you cursed.
Kris ignored you and just set his blanket on the floor next to your bed. Just then, you felt your bed bounce. You turned to your left and saw Luhan’s face, just inches away from you.
You pushed him hard that made him fall on the floor and bumped to Kris. “Ow!” both Luhan and Kris yelped.
You narrowed your eyes to Luhan, “Serve you right pervert!” you hissed. Luhan pouted, “But I didn’t do something on you.” he defended.
“What are you doing in my bed just now then?” you asked, raising an eyebrow.
“I just want to try your bed.” he muttered. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever! If you guys don’t want to leave this room, I’ll leave then.” you stood up and made your way to the door when both Chen and Lay blocked your way.
You looked up with a frown, “Step out of the way.” you calmly said. “No, you’re not going anywhere.” Lay said with a serious tone.
You ignored him and tried to escape with the 2 boys but unluckily, they won’t let you. The worst is, Lay locked the door behind him and Chen.
Your eyes widen in horror, “Yah! What do you think you’re doing?! Let me out!” you yelled but Chen and Lay continued blocking your way.
“You’re now stuck with us. You can’t go out or call for help since our manager is not around.” Kris snapped as he laid on the floor.
You facepalmed yourself and unwillingly back on your bed. “Good girl.” Kris said with his eyes closed.
You glared at him and forced yourself to sleep. Satisfied, Lay and Chen set their blankets near the door to secure that you can’t escape while Luhan set his blanket to your other side. Now, both of your sides are Luhan and Kris lying on the floor.
Tao and Xiumin silently laid on their beds and soon, fall asleep. Then Luhan, Kris, Chen and Lay followed.
Minutes later, your eyelids dropped as you drifted to sleep.
In the middle of the night, you heard a voice whispering. You slowly open your eyes and looked around. You spotted Kris sleep talking. You frowned when you realized that he’s not talking in Korean but in Chinese then it suddenly changed in English then back to Chinese again.
You rolled your eyes and tried your best to sleep but Kris’ voice keep interrupting your sleep. You groaned silently as you sat up. You made a face before getting up and carefully left the room.
Since it’s dark, you couldn’t see anything. Luckily, you didn’t step to anyone’s body.
Once you out, you went to the living room and sat on the couch. You placed your hands on your pocket just when you felt your phone there. You pulled it out to check it.
Your eyes widen whe you saw 30+ new messages and 20+ missed calls from your bestfriend, Baekhee.
You immediately open the messages and Baekhee was asking where you are, why she didn’t saw you at school, why you didn’t reply to her or answer her calls, if you’re sick or something, etc.
You bit your lower lip before setting your fingers on texting her.
to: Baekhee
Sorry for not replying and answering your calls. I only check my phone just now. Call me tomorrow when you wake up. Jalja~
from: Haewon
With that, you put back your phone to your pocket and let out a heaved sigh. But then, you heard a sudden voice spoke,
“What’s with that sigh?”
CHAPTER 24
“What’s with that sigh?” you heard a voice said. You turned to your left side and saw Chen sitting next to you with eyes closed and earphone on his both ears, his back was resting on the back of the couch.
You gasped in surprised, almost having a heart attack. “What the hell are you doing here?!” you cursed.
“Shhh! I’m listening here.” he snapped. You paused and stared at him for a moment. He was peacefully listening to the music through his ipod.
“I went here first.” he blurted out. “Mwo?!” you asked. Chen open his eyes as he removed his earphone then turned to face you, “You’re asking what am I doing here, right? You see, I’m peacefully listening here before you came.” he said.
You rolled your eyes and flatted your back on the couch like Chen did. “Why are you still awake?” you suddenly asked. “Couldn’t sleep, you?” he asked back.
“Same.” you replied. Chen chuckled, “I’m glad I couldn’t sleep.” he muttered. You turned to face him and raised an eyebrow, “Wae?”
“Because I got a chance to have a talk with you.” he replied. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever! I should continue my sleep now.” you stood up and walked away.
“As if you can sleep hearing Kris hyung sleeping talk.” Chen snapped that made you stopped. *Right.* but you just ignored him and continue on your way back to the room.
As you open the door, the first one you heard was Kris. You facepalmed yourself and closed the door again. You decided to check the other rooms but unluckily, all the rooms are locked.
With a sigh, you went back to the living room and sat next to Chen once again.
“I knew it!” you heard him beamed. You shot him a look before rolling your eyes then flatted your back on the couch like what you did earlier.
Silence filled the atmosphere.
“You still didn’t give me your answer.” Chen blurted out that broke the silence. You titled your head in confusion.
“Your sigh, what’s that sigh for?” he asked as he stared at you. You shook your head, “Nothing.” you replied.
“Really? You can share it with me, you know.” he said. You remained silent and flatted your back again on the couch. You rested your head on the couch also as you stared at the ceiling.
“Don’t force yourself. You can open up with me or to the other members once you’re ready to.” he said then put back the earphone on his ears.
Still head rested on the couch, you turned to Chen and watched him listening to music for a while.
“Do you really love music that much?” you asked all of a sudden because of curiousity. Seems like Chen didn’t hear you because of his earphone. His eyes were closed as his head resting on the couch like yours.
You stared at the ceiling again since you don’t receive any response from Chen.
“I just miss my bestfriend and omma..” you whispered, not knowing that Chen was listening to you since he lowered the volume of the music.
“I miss them,” you paused, “..a lot.” you continued. “How I wish they are also here with me..” you said once more.
“So, that’s the reason of your sigh.” you suddenly heard Chen whispered. You turned to him in shock, “You heard me?” you asked.
Chen’s eyes popped open as he gazed to you, “I do.” he replied. “But I thought... you’re listening to music?” you asked.
“Yes, I do.” he replied again. You frowned. “The volume is low so I could still hear you.” he simply replied.
You raised an eyebrow, “So you just trick me huh?” you hissed. “I did? How?” he asked in confusion.
“Because I already stated the reason of my sigh.” you said. “Wae? Did I told you to say that? You’re the the one who volunteered to say that, not me.” he defended.
*Right. He has a point.* “Whatever! You still trick me.” you snapped. “Okay, If you want to believe that.” he said.
SILENCE!
“How about you?” you broke the silence this time. “Me? What about me?” he asked. “Do you have friends?” you asked.
“Of course! EXO are my friends.” Chen replied with a smile. “What about a family?” you asked. “I do have but they’re in Korea so..” he trailed off.
“Don’t you miss them?” you asked again. “Of course I do. I really miss them. It’s been a long time aince I last visit my hometown. That’s before our debut. Now you mentioned it, I really want to go back to Korea and visit them.” he replied. You could feel the sadness on his voice.
You let out a sigh and amazingly, Chen also did at the same time with you. Both you and Chen looked at each ither before bursting into laughter.
“You looks better when you laugh.” Chen commented that made your laugh faded. “You said the same words with Baekhyun.” you suddenly said.
“I did?” he asked. You nodded, “Those words annoys me the most.” you said rolling your eyes. Chen chuckled setting his earphone on his ears.
“About your question earlier, my answer is yes. I do love music very much. Hearing music is the one could make me forget about the emptyness of my family even for a moment.” he said.
“Really?” you asked innocently. Chen nodded. He turned to you, “Do you want to listen to the music? This will help you cheer up yourself.” he said handling you the other piece of earphone.
You just stared at the earphone. Chen nodded you to take it, “Come on, music will make you relax.” he assured.
With a sigh, you took it and stuck it on your left ear while the othee piece was in Chen’s right ear.
Minutes later, you started to forget all the emptyness that you were having earlier and started relaxing yourself. The music was continued playing as both you and Chen silently listening to it.
CHAPTER 25
It was already 7:00am in the morning. Luhan was the first one who wake up. He slowly open his eyes and realized that he was sleeping in the same room as you.
A smile formed on his face as he stretch his arms upward with a yawn. He sat up and search for you on your bed. In his disappointment, you’re not there.
Luhan frowned as he scanned around the room. *Where is she?* he went to Kris side and shook him, “Kris, wake up!”
Kris groaned as he open his eyes, “What?!” he asked in annoyance. “Haewon is missing.” Luhan quickly stated.
Kris’ eyes popped open as he quickly sat up and peeked on your bed. Luhan was right, you’re nowhere to be seen.
Kris then wake up the others, “Wake up! Haewon is missing!” he said shaking them.
All awake, they got off from their bed and glance at your bed. “Omo! Where is she?” Xiumin asked while rubbing his eyes.
Lay stared at your bed and lookes around just when he noticed that you’re not the only one who’s missing but also one of the members.
“Wait! Chen is also missing!” Lay announced. The other members looked at Chen’s place just when they realized that Chen is missing too.
They looked at each other, “They must be together.” Tao stated. “Must check. Let’s go.” Kris said as all of them left the room.
There it is, you and Chen was silently sleeping on the couch. Your head was resting on his shoulder as Chen’s head on the top of your head.
Chen was still holding his ipod while the earphone was dropped on the ground still connected on the ipod.
“I knew it.” Tao said. “How they end up in this state?” Luhan asked. “Come on, let’s wake them up.” Xiumin said as the others nodded in agreement.
Kris shook you while Lay shook Chen. “Wake up.” Lay and Kris cooed. “It’s already morning.” Kris added.
Both you and Chen slowly open eyes. Kris’ face was one that greeted you as Lay’s face greeted Chen.
You turned to your side and so did Chen. You stared at each other for a while.
You frowned, *What’s going on?* you aaked yourself in confusion.
Seconds later, you realized you fall asleep on Chen’s shoulder. You immediately looked away made a distance from him.
“Why did you two end up sleeping here together?” Lay asked. You bit your lower lip, not knowing what to say. Just then, your phone rang. *Thanks to my phone!* you beamed on your head as you pulled out your phone.
Baekhee is calling
You saw the screen says. “Excuse me.” you excused yourself as you stood up and headed to Xiumin and Tao’s room. As you fully inside, you locked it so no one can disturb you.
---
“What did you two do last night?” Kris asked Chen. “Listen to the music.” Chen simply replied as he stood up and went to the kitchen.
The others followed, “Why did she sleeping on your shoulder and your head on top of her head?” Luhan asked.
Chen shrugged, “I don’t know either. The last time I remeber is, we’re just listening to music then.. I don’t know the next and I don’t know why we end up like that.” he replied.
“Did you two talk?” Xiumin asked.Chen nodded, “A little bit.” he said as he get a glass of water and drink it.
“What are you two doing outside the room then? You should be sleeping at the room.” Tao muttered.
“Yeah but I couldn’t sleep.” Chen simply replied. “How about Haewon?” Lay asked. “Same with me.” Chen replied.
“Why did you two can’t sleep?” Kris asked. Chen looked up and raised an eyebrow, “You still asking why? You should know why..” Chen muttered. The others understand what Chen said as they nodded their head.
Kris frowned, still confused. “I don’t get it. Tell me, why?” he asked. Chen rolled his eyes, “Because of your sleeping habbit.” he snapped.
“Uh-oh..” Kris rubbed the back of his neck in embarassment. “Come on, let’s prepare a breakfast. I’m hungry.” Xiumin snapped. They rolled their eyes on him. “Yeah! Mr. Baozi is already hungry.” Luhan said.
Xiumin shot him a look as Luhan stucked his tongue out. Xiumin rolled his eyes then pouted.
Suddenly, the main door burst open and revealed their manager. “Oh! Hyung, you finally back.” Lay said. “Go get ready, you guys will be guesting on Happy Camp later.” the manager said.
EXO-M nodded as they continued preparing the breakfast.
---
“Yeoboseyo?” you answered. “YAH! WHERE ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU NOT SHOWING UP AT SCHOOL?” you pulled your phone away from you ear because of your bestfriend sudden shout coming from the other line of the phone.
You put it back again, “Lower your voice, will you?” you hissed. You heard Baekhee let out a sigh, “Okay, now tell me where you are?” she asked calmly.
With a sigh, you told her all that happened to you. “Aww.. You’re so lucky to be there.” she commented. You rolled your eyes, “I’m not, okay.”
“Psh! I miss you Haewon-ah~” she cooed. “Nado, I miss you.” you replied with a heart.
“Where are you going to come back here by the way?” Baekhee asked. You shook your head through the phone, “Ani. How I wish I can go back there now.” you muttered. “Aww! You must be bored there. I can sense it on your voice.” she said.
“Yes, I am. My bestfriend wasn’t here so it’s really bored here.” you replied. “Aww! You’re so sweet.” she said. “I know right?!” you replied proudly.
“Oh! I almost out of load now, let’s talk again next time or let’s text.” she said. You nodded, “Okay, bye!” you said and with that, the phone call ended.
CHAPTER 26
After the phone call ended, you open the door and went out. Right after you stepped out, EXO-M’s manager passed by.
“Oh.. Ms. Shim..” he called. You bowed a bit, showing your politeness. “Get ready, EXO-M will guesting on Happy Camp tonight.” he gestured.
“Happy Camp?” you asked, completely confused. He simply nodded, “One of the popular variety show here in China.” he explained.
“Uh-oh..” you nodded in understanding. “It’s still morning so you can prepared the boys’ clothes later.” he said.
You nodded once again, “Dae.” The manager give you a nod before heading to his room. With that, you headed towards the living room.
You found EXO-M watching TV there. They were sitting on the long couch all together. You walked over and sat on the single couch on the side.
All 6 pair of eyes gazed at you. You didn’t care to turned your head to them and just focus on the TV screen. Seconds later, their gazes went back to the TV screen.
“Could you guys tell me what kind of show ‘Happy Camp’ is?” you suddenly blurted out, eyes still locked to the TV screen.
Their gazes went back to you in synchronized. You stared back, raising an eyebrow. “Is my question hard to answer?” you asked.
“Uh-oh.. Ani. Umm.. Happy Camp is one if the most popular variety show here in China. It’s like a game show for me and maybe an interview. More like that.” Kris said.
Your mouth formed an ‘o’ as you nodded in understanding. “Why did you ask?” Xiumin asked.
“Nothing.” you replied and turned back your gaze on the TV screen. “Are you going with us on that show?” Tao asked.
“What do you think? Of course, I will go. I’m your personal assistant, remember?” you replied with a rolling eyes.
Tao pouted as Kris patted his back. ‘Get use to her attitude.’ Kris mouthed to the maknae. Tao nodded in understanding.
You stood up, making EXO-M looked up to you. “Where are you going?” Lay asked as you started to walked away. “I need to prepare all you guys clothes.” you replied without turning back and soon, disappeared from their sight.
EXO-M looked at each other. “Let’s also prepare, shall we?” Luhan suggested. “But it’s still early..” Chen snapped.
“And so?” Luhan raised an eyebrow. “Luhan is right, we need to prepare now. Plus, we need to be there early, right?” Xiumin explained.
Luhan smiled, “Thank you Baozi.” he sang. Xiumin rolled his eyes. “I’ll go with them too. Come on guys, let’s get ready.” Kris motioned.
With that, all of them went to their respective rooms including Chen to prepare theirselves.
---
It was already 5:00pm, all was prepared already. EXO-M, the manager and yourself leave the dorm and went to the show called ‘Happy Camp’.
There are lots of fans there. Almost all of them are waiting for EXO-M, holding their own fanboards with an ‘EXO-M’ on it and some of them are holding posters of each member.
You gaze at how many fans are there to wait EXO-M. *They’re already famous. But.. other SMEnt artists are still the best.* you bitterly thought.
Minutes later, the show got started. The opening of the show is a dance. Back-up dancers are one that was dancing then followed by the hosts.
The hosts made an opening speech before calling EXO-M. Just when EXO-M came out, the crowd started to make a loud noise. They were going crazy seeing the new idol EXO-M.
You rolled your eyes then shook your head, *What a crazy fans!* you thought.
The hosts started to talk with EXO-M then each member started to introduced themselves one by one. Even you don’t understand mandarin, you could still sense that they were introducing theirselves.
The show went good. Unluckily, you don’t understand the whole show. You’re really sucks in mandarin so you completely not understand what tgey were saying.
But during the show, a smile just suddenly went up to your face unknowingly. When the time Xiumin, Luhan and Tao were going to kick the ball, you could help but let out a short laugh.
After the show, all of you went back to the dorm. All the members of EXO-M looks tired as they fall aleep in the whole ride on the way to the dorm.
Even you did nothing on the show and just watch, your eyelids voluntarily dropped and soon enough, fall asleep also.
CHAPTER 27
It was already morning as your eyes fluttered open. Still with a blured vision, you gently rubbed your eyes and looked around.
Just then, you realized that you’re alone in the room. You forced yourself to sat up and get off from the bed. You made your way outside the room and found EXO-M preparing the breakfast.
You stared at them, still confused why did you end up lying on the bed. The last thing you remembered that you fell asleep on the way to the dorm.
“Oh! Good morning Haewon-ah~” Luhan greeted as he noticed your presence. The other looked up and give you a smile except for Kris. He was totally frowning at you.
You raised an eyebrow for exchanged. The other members followed your gaze and saw Kris’ frowning expression. They burst into laughter.
“Yah! Hyung, don’t be mad at her.” Tao managed to say. You turned to Tao and also raised an eyebrow, “Why is he mad at me huh?” you asked, totally confused.
“Because last night, hyung carried you to I and Xiumin hyung’s room since no one can’t wake you up even manager hyung. Then manager hyung motioned Kris hyung to carry you instead.” Tao explained.
“So?” you raised your eyebrow even more. “And you keep kicking him while he was carrying you on the way to Xiumin and Tao’s room. Plus, you slapped him on the face when he laid you on your bed.” Lay added with a laugh along with the other members.
Kris shot his co-members a glare that made them stopped on laughing. Kris then rolled his eyes. “You’re just kidding, aren’t you?” you asked. Lay shook his head. “He’s saying the truth.” Chen stated.
You turned to Kris and noticed the red nark on his left cheek. You lowered your head, “Uh-oh.. I didn’t meant to do that..” you whispered.
“Is that your way of apologizing?” Kris smirked. You looked and saw him with a wide grin on his face. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever. Let’s just eat, shall we?” you snapped in annoyance.
“Yay! Finally! Food!” Xiumin beamed. Luhan chuckled, “Baozi really loves food.” he stated. Xiumun stucked a tounge out and started his face.
With a shook of head, you also started your food and so did the other members.
---
A week had passed. Well.. just today, the manager gave you a new room alone. It was a pleasure for you so no one can bothered you anymore. EXO-M were already sleeping as you couldn’t.
You stood up and walked towards the door. You stepped out to get some water when you noticed the manager sitting on the couch while using his laptop.
“Why aren’t you sleeping sir?” you asked. He turned around to face you, “I’m almost done with this. I’ll sleep after I finish this one.” he replied, pointed at the screen of the laptop.
You nodded in understanding as you headed to the kitchen and get a glass if water then drink it. After that, you walked back and saw the manager closed his laptop and stood up.
You looked at him, “Ummm.. Finished?” you asked. He nodded, “I just made some important business.” he replied.
“About EXO-M?” you asked. “Only half part, yes.” he replied. You frowned in confusion, “What do you mean?” you asked.
“You’ll know tomorrow.” he simply replied then walk passed by you before he disappeared from your sight.
You titled your head, *I wonder if he’s related with Lee Sooman.. They’re completely the same.* you thought before heading back your new solo room.
---
Morning came. As usual, you, EXO-M with their manager eat breakfast all together. “I’ll announce an important matter today. Finish the food then follow me to the living room including you,” the manager pointed at you, “..Ms. Shim.” he added then walked towards the living room.
After the breakfast, you all stood up. Completely confused, you and EXO-M headed to the living room and started gathering there.
“So,” the manager started. All the pair of eyes including you were focusing on the manager, waiting for him to continue.
“The important matter that I want to say is,” he paused, “EXO-K and their own manager will going to stay here in one week and their flight is today. They will arrive here anytime tonight.”
CHAPTER 28
“EXO-K and their own manager will going to stay here in one week and their flight is today. They will arrive here anytime tonight.” EXO-M’s manager announced.
“Mwo?!” you’re the first one who reacted since EXO-M seems happy with the good news.
The manager titled his head to you, “Wae? Is there a problem with that?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. “Uh-oh..” you shook your head, “Ani..”
The manager nodded and turned to the boys, “How about you boys?” he asked. “Of course there’s no problem with us. Plus, we already miss EXO-K.” Xiumin replied as he co-members nodded in agreement.
The manager pressed his palms together and straightened up, “Okay then, let’s just wait for their arrival.” he said then left.
You let out a sigh, *So, that’s what he meant last night..* you thought with a poker-face.
“What’s with that expression?” Lay snapped. You looked up and stared at him for a while. Just then, you realized how closed your face to his face.
You immediately pushed him and give him a glare. Lay frowned, “Yah! Why did you pushed me?” he hissed.
You rolled your eyes and stood up. You give him one last glare before heading to your room. Lay titled his head, “What happen to her?” he whispered.
“If you hadn’t realize, your face was too close to her just now.” Luhan muttered.
“I did?” Lay asked as he turned yo the others. They simply nodded. “How come I didn’t notice that?” Lay wondered. EXO-M looled at each other then to Lay. They shook their heads then walked away, leaving Lay dumbfounded.
Lay pouted then followed Luhan to their room.
---
As you entered your room, you quickly closed the door and jumped on your bed. You placed your palms to your both cheeks trying to calm yourself.
For some reason, you couldn’t take off Lay’s face on your vision. On how his face was close to you. You could see how perfect his face is.
*He’s handsome..* you immediately shook away that thought and laid on your bed.
Staring at the ceiling for a while, your eyelids suddenly dropped. Soon, you drifted to sleep unknowingly. Even you just got up from bed earlier, you still fell asleep just now. This day was bored and you was completely tired.
---
It was already 3:00 in the afternoon as you open your eyes. You walked out from the room and headed to the living room.
“Woah! You’re finally awake.” Lay said as he suddenly appeared in front of you with his face close to you again.
You made startled on it as you jumped a little. You pushed him again for the second time today and walk passed by him with a poker-face.
EXO-M was busy watching TV at the living room as Lay followed you with a pout.
“You’ve been doing that face today a couple of times.” Xiumin snapped as you sat on the single couch. You turned to him, “What?!” you aaked in annoyance. Xiumin chuckled, “See? You’re doing it again. You really loves doing that face.” he commented. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!”
“Haewon-ah, we left you a food for your lunch at the kitchen. You should eat now, it’s already late for your lunch.” Tao said. “Right.” you stood up and headed to the kitchen. As you found the food, you took it and headed to the dining area to eat your lunch even it’s already 3:00 in the afternoon.
---
Exactly 8:20 in the evening when the door bell rang. “That must be them.” the manager stood up and approach the main door.
You let out a sigh, *My life here in China will becoming a hell now!* you thought in disbelief.
Expectedly, EXO-K and their own manager entered the dorm. EXO-K has a bright smile on their faces as they walked inside.
“WELCOME TO OUR CHINA!” EXO-M greeted all together. “YAY!”
You saw Luhan and Sehun approach each other first then soon, hugging each other. “I’m happy to see you again hyung.” Sehun said. “Nado!” Luhan beamed.
You rolled your eyes by the view, *Eeeww!*
“Haewon-ah!” you suddenly heard a voice whined. You turned to the direction of the voice and saw Baekhyun walking towards you while spreading his arms intendind to hug you.
Your eyes widen in horror. But before Baekhyun could hug you, you immediately grabbed Xiumin’s arm who is standing right next to you. Then you dragged him in front of you so with Baekhyun eyes closed, he’s now hugging Xiumin.
“Yah! Let go of me!” Xiumin hissed. Baekhyun open his eyes and saw you standing in front of him but not hugging though. Then he realized that he was hugging Xiumin. He immediately let go of Xiumin. The others laugh at him.
“Yah! Hyung, why are you hugging me?” Baekhyun hissed. “Correction, you’re the one who hugged me.” Xiumin muttered with a rolling eyes.
“Guys, stop that.” EXO-K’s manager snapped. “Baekhyun, behave. We’re just got here so please give EXO-M’s manager some respect.” he added.
“Oh.. Mian.” Baekhyun apologized. EXO-M’s shook his head, “No, it’s okay. I know you just miss EXO-M.” he said.
Baekhyun glanced at you as you rolled your eyes, still annoyed at him.
“Come on guys, let’st talk about the room arrangement.” EXO-M’s manager said as he led the way to the living room. All of you gathered to the living room and focus on the managers.
“So.. since I have my own room, EXO-K’s manager will share with me.” EXO-M’s started. “Then, there are 4 rooms here except mine.” he continued.
EXO-M’s manager glanced at you, “Is that okay if the two of them will share a room with you?” he asked.
You stared at him in disbelief. You just got an own room last night and now, you’re going to share with the 2 of them again? Well.. That’s what life is.
With a sigh, you spoke. “Do I have a choice?” you asked back. EXO-K’s manager chuckled, “Sooman was right. She’s different to the other assistants.” he commented. “I know right?!” EXO-M’s manager agreed.
You rolled your eyes because of their comments. “So, who’s going to share a room with her?” Chen asked.
“Good question! We decided that Kai and D.O. will share a room with Chen and Kris since that room is biggest among the other members room. Then Sehun, you’ll be staying with Luhan’s and Lay’s room.” M’s manager stated.
“Yay!” Sehun jumped up and down because of excitement. K’s manager chuckled by the maknae’s reaction, “Behave Sehun.” he snapped as Sehun calmed himself again.
“Shall we continue?” M’s manager asked. EXO nodded as you annoyingly waited for him to continue.
With that, M’s manager continued, “Suho will be sharing room with Xiumin amd Tao. Chanyeol and Baekhyun will stay at Ms. Shim’s room.”
CHAPTER 29
“Chanyeol and Baekhyun will stay at Ms. Shim’s room.” M’s manager announced.
“Yay!” both Chanyeol and Baekhyun beamed as they high-five each other. “Mwo?! Why them?” you reacted.
“Wae? Do you have a problem with them?” K’s manager asked. “You can stay with us again if you want, right Tao?” Xiumin snapped as Tao warmly nodded in agreement.
You open your mouth to speak when Baekhyun snapped you, “No! Of course! She don’t have a problem, right Haewon?” Baekhyun eyed you.
You rolled your eyes and was about to say something when someone interrupted you again. This time, it’s Chanyeol. “Yeah! And I think she like to sleep with us.” he muttered.
“Okay then. Now, go to your respective rooms.” M’s manager gestured. You stared at him indisbelief but M’s manager and K’s manager already left and headed to their room.
You shot Chanyeol and Baekhyun a look as they flashed you a bright smile. “Kaja! I want to see our room.” Baekhyun beamed. Before you coukd protest, both Baekhyun and Chanyeol already dragged you to your room.
Tao pouted, “I still want to sleep with her..” he muttered. “Nado.” Xiumin joined. “But you can’t. Now, mind telling me where our room is?” Suho snapped.
“Oh yeah! This way..” Xiumin and Tao led the way as Suho followed. With that, Kris, Chen, D.O. and Kai headed also to their room and so did Lay, Luhan and Sehun.
---
“Yah! I don’t want to sleep with you two in one room. Let me go!” you screamed under your breath as both Chanyeol and Baekhyun settled you on your bed.
“Only one bed here?” Baekhyun raised an eyebrow as he scanned the room. “I’m the only one who’s sleeping here so of course there’s only one bed here.” you said with a rolling eyes.
“So..” Chanyeol trailed off as he gave you a creepy smile. You frowned, “So now, get off my bed and settle your blankets on the floor.” you snapped.
Chanyeol looked down on your bed, “Your bed seems big and I think all the 3 of us can sleep here, right Bacon?” he said. “You’re right Yeol.” Baekhyun smiled on that idea.
Your eyes widen in horror, “Mwo?! Andwae!! Get off. NOW!” you blurted as you try to pushed them off the bed but they are stronger than you so you failed.
You let out a heaved a sigh, *What have I done in my previous life to give me this kind of punishment?*
“Okay, I give up.” you said and laid on the bed. BaekYeol beamed as they laid next to you. They both facing you that made you feel uneasy.
You cleared your throat, “Er.. Can one of exchange position with me? I don’t want to sleep at the center.” you said, cooly.
“Okay. Let’s exchange.” Baekhyun said. You let out a sigh, relieved. As you wad about to exchange with Baekhyun, Chanyeol grabbed your arm to stopped you.
You turned to him, “What?” you asked, annoyed. “Let’s exchange instead of him.” Chanyeol said. Baekhyun eyed him, “No. She’s going to exchange with me. I want to sleep next to you.” he muttered. “I want to sleep next to her too so she’s going to exchange with me.” Chanyeol protested.
“No! She will exchange with me!”
“No! She won’t!”
“She will!”
“She won’t!”
“She will!”
“She won’t!”
Your ears will going to explode anytime because of their arguement. “Yah! Stop it! I’m not going to exchange to anyone. Now, sleep. I need some rest.” you snapped and closed your eyes.
You heard them beamed as they started nagging at you. You ignored them and let yourself to sleep.
“Haewon-ah, don’t sleep so fast. Let’s talk for a while. You know, we miss you a lot.” Baekhyun said. You didn’t open your eyes, completely ignoring him.
“Haewon-ah, don’t sleep please..” Chanyeol whispered to you ear that made you felt shivers went up to your spine. Still, you didn’t open your eyes and tried your best to sleep.
To you unluck, BaekYeol didn’t gave up easily. They continued nagging you but you keep your eyes shut closed.
Just then, silence filled the room. You mentally smiled, *Finally! I thought they didn’t know how to give up.* with that, you slowly drifted to sleep.
Just when you was about to fully entered the dreamland, you felt 2 pairs of hand started tickling you.
Your eyes popped open, totally startled. You couldn’t help it but laugh. “Y-Yah! S-Stop it!” you managed to say.
“Say that you won’t going to sleep fir a moment and have a talk with the 2 of us first before we’ll stop.” Chanyeol challenged.
“N-No!” you replied. With that, BaekYeol tickled you more that made you laugg hard. “Ara, ara. I w-won’t sleep a-and talk with y-you 2 for a m-moment.” you managed to day between your laugh.
Finally, they stopped. “Good girl!” Baekhyun smirked. You rolled your eyes while breathing heavily.
“So.. did you miss us, EXO-K?” Baekhyun asked as Chanyeol nodded along the question. “No, why would I?” you simply replied, not even thinking if you hurt them or not.
BaekYeol pouted. “Even so.. We miss you,” Chanyeol paused. “..a lot.” he continued. You stunned by his word and remained silent, not knowing what to say.
“Right, we all miss you a lot.” Baekhyun said. “W-Whatever!” you said with a rolling eyes.
With that, no one talk or started a new conversation. That time, you thought that they already done nagging at you but no. They’re just started.
The next thing you realized, they already asking you some random questions. You firmly answered it without you knowing.
It’s already 2:00am but BaekYeol seems don’t want to stop on talking. You facepalmed yourself and mumbled, “I’m tired. Let me sleep now.”
“Want us to sing a song for you for you to sleep peacefully?” Baekhyun asked. You just give him a nod, “That’s good since my sleep isn’t peaceful on the first place.” you sid and closed your eyes.
Baekhyun started the song as Chanyeol sing a long. A smile formed on your face as you heard them sing. Their voices are awesome. Soon enough, you completely fell asleep.
CHAPTER 30
You woke up next mprning because of the loud sound of voices that can be heard around the room.
Your eyes fluttered open as you saw 10 pair of eyes were glued to you. You could see that they were panicking. You frowned and was about to sit up but you couldn’t, you felt a heavy thing on your stomach that making you stopped on sitting up.
You looked down to your stomach and saw two different arms wrapping around your waist. You turned to your both side and saw Chanyeol’s and Baekhyun’s sleeping face.
“Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!” you burst a loud scream that made BaekYeol to wake up. They let out a short groan before slowly opening their eyes.
“What happen?” Baekhyun asked in alert. “Did something bad happen?” Chanyeol also asked in alert.
“Get off of me now, you two perverts!” you cursed as you pushed their arms away from your body. With that, you immediately jumped off the bed.
Both Chanyeol and Baekhyun sat up and saw the other members inside the room. “What are you guys doing here?” Chanyeol asked.
Suho raisedan eyebrow, “We’re just planning to wake you 3 up and then we found out that both you,” he pointed to Baekhyun and Chanyeol, “were sleeping in the same bed with her.” Suho finished.
Kris stepped in the conversation, “Now, mind explaining why you two sleeping on her bed.” he asked as he nodded on your direction.
“Because we both miss her. As simple as that.” Baekhyun answered without a second thought. Chanyeol nodded in agreement. “Just because you miss her, you can force yourselves to sleep on her bed.” Suho snapped. “Exactly!” you exclaimed. BaekYeol pouted.
“Omo! Noona, what happen to your eyes?” Kai suddenly snapped. You stared at him, clueless. “Eh?” you touch your etes before rushing to the wash room.
As you reach inside the wash room, you immediately faced the mirror and saw something dark below your eyes, eyebags. Your eyes widen, “Aahhhhhhhhh!” you let out another scream.
Outside the wash room, EXO stared at each other after hearing your loud scream.
Xiumin narrowed his eyes to both Baekhyun and Chanyeol, “What did you two do to her last night? Nagging all night hmm?”
“Uh-oh.. We’re just too excited last night so we keep nagging at her..” Chanyeol replied as he lowered his head, guilty. Baekhyun looked away, “Mian..” he apolpgized.
“Go and apologize to her not to me.” Xiumin snapped. Just then, you went out from the bathroom with your eyebrows furrowed together.
You shot BaekYeol a glare before walking out the room. “See? She was pissed. Now, go and apologize.” Xiumin said before following you exited. With another glance, the other members exited the room also.
BaekYeol looked at each other. “Eotteokhae?” Chanyeol asked. Baekhyun let out a sigh, “Apologize is the answer.” he replied and get off the bed. Chanyeol also did and with that, they left the room also.
---
“Oh! Ms. Shim, what happen to your eyes?” K’s manager greeted as you reach the living room. “Ask those bastards who shares room with me.” you replied in annoyance as you sat on the couch next to M’s manager who was sitting next to K’s manager.
“Did Baekhyun and Chanyeol didn’t let you sleep peacefully?” K’s manager asked. “Positive.” you replied with a tired nod. “Uh-oh.. Please excuse them for that. Those two are bit stubborn when they are together.” K’s manager muttered.
You rested the back of your head on the couch, “I want to sleep in deifferent room.” you whispered. “Oh.. They must really that annoying for you, I guess.” M’s manager said. “They are.” you said.
“You can sleep in our room again if you want.” Tao suddenly said as EXO appeared. You stared at him and Xiumin. “Only if you want.” Xiumin said.
You turned to the managers, “I think it’s better to sleep at their room that the room you gave to me.” you said.
“So.. You’re saying that you wanted to move to their room?” M’s manager asked. “It’s not that I wanted to. It’s just that.. I don’t have a choice but to move to their room.” you corrected.
The managers looked up the boys, “Suho, is it okay if you exchange room with her?” K’s manager asked. Suho nodded without a second thought, “No roblem with me. I know BaekYeol is hard to handle but I think I can.” he replied.
“Okay then. Starting tonight, Haewon will sleep on Xiumin’s and Tao’s room back again and Suho on BaekYeol’s room. Understand?” K’s manager announced. EXO nodded except for BaekYeol. K’s manager peeked at them with a raise of eyebrow. BaekYeol lowered their heads before answering, “Dae..”
“Good! Now, prepare yourselves. You guys will have a performance all together in a show.” K’s manager gestured. With another nod, they followed what the manager said.
M’s manager turned to you, “Sorry again for thr boys attitude. You go also and prepare.” he said. You give him a nod and left.
---
The whole ride to the show was silent. Neither Baekhyun nor Chanyeol got a chance to talk to you since you keep ignoring them.
As the van stopped, you all went out and entered the venue. Inside the dressing room, you help EXO on their clothes since that’s your job.
“Are you still mad at me?” you heard Baekhyun asked as you was fixing his cloth. You remained silent then turned to Chanyeol and fixed his cloth next. “I guess, you’re still mad at us.” you heard Chanyeol said with a sigh.
You looked up and faced them. “Just stop asking me and I won’t mad.” you said and walked away, leaving them dumbfounded.
---
The show got started. Some Chinese artists started to perform. EXO will be the last one will perform so you just waited for their turn. For some reason, you was impatiently waiting to see them performing together.
Hours later, EXO finally went up the stage. Before they start their performance, they make a short introduction first. Kris started, “We are EXO!” then all together, “We are one!” after that, they introduced theirselves one by one in mandarin.
Just after the introduction, EXO started performing ‘MAMA’ continued with ‘History’.
---
After the show, all of you headed to the van and went in. You sat at the back beside the window as Baekhyun sat next to amd Chanyeol next to him.
“Still mad?” Baekhyun worriedly asked as Chanyeol peeked at you, also waiting for your answer. “Just stop bothering me and I won’t.” you replied before closing your eyes.
BaekYeol formed an O shape on their mouth as they looked at each other. Satisfied, a smile went up to their lips and don’t bother you anymore.
The whole ride on the way to the dorm was silent. All of you was completely tired as all of you fell asleep.
Minutes later, the van stopped. The managers started waking you all up one by one. As your eyes popped open, you found yourself carrying by someone. It was Tao and you noticed that Xiumin was walking behind him.
“What are you doing?” you asked, half sleep. “Don’t talk, just sleep. You must be too tired since you didn’t sleep well last night.” he said.
Just then, the 3 of you reach the room. Xiumin open it for the 3 of you as Tao gently laid you on his bed.
“Use my bed tonight. I’ll just sleep on Xiumin hyung’s bed.” Tao said as he pulled up the blanket to your body. You turned to Xiumin.
Xiumin give a nod with an assuring smile. Satisfied, you nodded and closed your eyes. In a few seconds, you drifted to sleep just in quick. You were really tired to talk anymore.
With another one last glance, both Tao and Xiumin went to their place and sleep together in one bed.
The plane finally landed in China. All of you exited the plane and took the van that was already waiting for all of you, on the way to EXO-M’s dorm.
Hour later, the van finally stopped. All of you went out from the van and entered EXO-M’s new dorm.
“Ms. Shim, this dorm has only 4 rooms and it was already divided to all of us but you need to stay with the other members for a while.” the manager explained.
Your eyes widen, “Mwo?! I’ll stay with them?!” you gasped in disbelief. “Don’t worry. Once we added another room here, you’ll move there.” the manager said, “Or you can stay with me in my room if you don’t want to stay with the 2 of them.” he added.
You study the manager’s face and paused, “Araseo, I’ll stay with the other members.” you replied, afraid to sleep in the same room with the old man.
“Is that so? Okay! So, where do you want to sleep? Kris and Chen’s room, Xiumin and Tao’s room or Luhan and Lay’s room?” he asked.
You looked at EXO-M members one by one and made a long pause. EXO-M was staring back at you.
Luhan give you his angelic smile. Xiumin show you his bun face. Lay smiled at you and so did Chen. Tao stared at you with a serious yet scary face. Kris looked at you seriously.
You let out sigh, “Do I really need to stay with the 2 of them in one room?” you asked the manager. He simply nodded.
You looked at EXO-M once again. They’re still looking at you with the same expression except with Tao. He’s eyes was scary but you could see that he was shyly staring at you.
With another sigh, you spoke. “I’ll stay with Xiumin and Tao.” you blurted out. The unchoosed members face fell.
Xiumin jumped in happiness and the one who surprised you is Tao, you saw him smiled after you choose to stay in their room.
*Woah! He smiled. That was the first time I saw him smile.* you thought, amused.
“Okay then. Xiumin and Tao, go and bring her to your room.” the manager ordered. Xiumin and Tao beamed and nodded before leading the way to you.
“So, the others go to your respective rooms also.” the manager said. They nodded and do what their manager said.
With that, the manager went also to his room.
---
“Mwo?! There are only two beds?!” you gasped in disbelief. Just then, the manager came.
“Boys, can you help me bring the extra bed to this room?” he asked. You sigh, finally relieved.
Tao and Xiumin nodded. Minutes later, they’re back lifting the bed and positioned it inside the room.
“This will be your bed and feel comfortable, ne?” the manager said. You nodded and bowed, “Dae. Gomawo.”
The amnager give you a nod, “Go and have a dinner after unpacking your things, okay?” the manager said. All you 3 nodded, “Dae.”
Then the manager left.
“Do you want to help with that?” Xiumin asked. “No. Don’t mind my business, just do yours.” you replied withouth looking at him, unpacking your stuffs.
“Okay. As you wish! But atleast you choose to stay with us.” he beamed and went back to unpack his things.
“I wonder why did you choose to stay with us?” Tao suddenly blurted out. You shrugged, “I don’t have a reason.” you simply replied.
“Then why don’t you choose the others?” Xiumin asked. You lifted your head to face them, “Do you want me to choose the others then?” you raised an eyebrow.
Tao and Xiumin quickly shook their heads, “Ani. We’re just asking.” Xiumin snapped as Tao nodded in agreement.
You rolled your eyes continued unpacking, “Then stop asking me.” you said.
With that, they didn’t ask you anymore and also continued unpacking their things.
CHAPTER 22
You, both Tao and Xiumin went out the room after unpacking then straightly went to the dining area to meet up with the others.
Just when the 3 of you reach the dining area, the manager suddenly passed by.
“Hyung, where are you going?” Xiumin asked. “I have something important to do. I won’t be eating with you guys, mian. I’ll be back pass midnight or maybe tomorrow. I don’t know. Just eat without me.” with that said, the manager left.
You let out a sigh, *Now, I’m stuck with these boys!*
“What’s that sigh for?” Tao suddenly snapped you. You shrugged, “Nothing.” was all you said took a seat at the dining area.
Tao pouted but followed you. He sat next to you as Xiumin was about to sit on your other side, Kris already did.
Xiumin frowned, “I supposed to sit next to her.” he said as he sat in front of you instead.
Kris rolled his eyes, “You’re already sharing room with her. Let the others have a chance to get close to her.” he snapped. Xiumin made a face, “Whatever!”
You just ignored him and started your food when you felt a pair of eyes glued to you. You looked up and saw Luhan seriously staring at you.
“What?” you asked in annoyed tone. Then you saw him frowned, “You must choose to stay with me and Lay.” he stated with a pout. Lay nodded in agreement.
“No. You must choose to stay with me and Kris.” Chen complained. “No worries. You’ve made a right choice.” you heard Tao said who’s sitting next to you.
You ignored them and looked back on your food when you saw an arm from your other side reach your plate as he put some food there. “Don’t mind them. Just eat.” Kris said.
*Finally! There’s someone here not trying to annoy me.* you slowly turned to Kris but then he said, “But you must really choose to stay in our room.”
You facepalmed yourself before rolling your eyes and just continued your food, completely ignoring them.
After the dinner, you volunteered to wash the dishes. Even they’re stopping you of doing that, you still won and wash the dishes.
After washing the dishes, you walked towards the living room and found them talking with a serious face. Then your eyes caught Tao’s expression, scared.
Your head voluntarily shake because you saw that expression again for the second time. *I really can’t believe he’s the crying baby among them all.*
Just then, you heard Tao started crying. You facepalmed yourself, *There he is again...*
Even Tao is already crying, the boys still continued talking about scary things.
You let out a sigh before stepping in, “Yah! Tao is already crying. You guys should stop talking about scary things now.” you blurted out.
Tao brightened and went your side. Kris raised an eyebrow, “Did you just defended Tao?” he asked in surprise.
Tao smiled, “Gomawo, Haewon-ah..” he beamed and wiped his tears. You turned to him and rolled your eyes, “I’m not defending you, okay. I just can’t take to hear your cries.” you said. Tao pouted.
You turned back to the others, “Now, stop making loud noise. I’m going to sleep now.” was all you said then left.
“I’ll go with you too.” Tao called then followed you.
Xiumin stood up. The others look at him in confusion. “I’m going to sleep too.” he beamed and walked away.
The others left with a pout on their faces. “I want to sleep in the same room with her too.” Luhan whined. “Nado.” Chen agreed.
Kris shrugged, “I have an idea.” he blurted out. The other 3 looked at him. Lay smirked, “I know what you’re thinking and I like that idea.” he said.
Chen and Luhan were still confused but then Kris blurted out,
“Go get your own blankets and pillows. We’ll going to sleep in their room.”
CHAPTER 23
As you was about to lay on your bed, the door burst open that made you turned on that direction and so was Xiumin and Tao.
Surprisingly, you saw Kris, Chen, Lay and Luhan standing there along with their pillows and blankets.
You raised an eyebrow, “What are you guys doing here? And what’s that blankets and pillows for?” you asked.
“We’re going to sleep here.” Kris simply replied as he made his way inside the room. The others followed.
“Yah! It’s our room. You guys better go back to your respective rooms.” Xiumin snapped. “No. It’s unfair! We want to sleep with her too.” Chen whined.
Xiumin rolled his eyes. “But Haewon chose to stay with us so I think it’s fair.” Tao muttered.
Kris shot him a look that made Tao shut up his mouth. Then Kris turned to you, “You have no problem with this, right?” he firmly asked.
You raised an eyebrow, “Of course I do have! A big problem!” you snapped. “Whether you like it or not, we’re going to sleep here.” Kris turned on his back, “Boys, go set your place.” Kris nodded them to go.
With that, the other 3 fully entered the room.
You narrowed your eyes to Kris, “Yah! What do you think you’re doing?! We can’t stay in just one room! This will be crowded.” you cursed.
Kris ignored you and just set his blanket on the floor next to your bed. Just then, you felt your bed bounce. You turned to your left and saw Luhan’s face, just inches away from you.
You pushed him hard that made him fall on the floor and bumped to Kris. “Ow!” both Luhan and Kris yelped.
You narrowed your eyes to Luhan, “Serve you right pervert!” you hissed. Luhan pouted, “But I didn’t do something on you.” he defended.
“What are you doing in my bed just now then?” you asked, raising an eyebrow.
“I just want to try your bed.” he muttered. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever! If you guys don’t want to leave this room, I’ll leave then.” you stood up and made your way to the door when both Chen and Lay blocked your way.
You looked up with a frown, “Step out of the way.” you calmly said. “No, you’re not going anywhere.” Lay said with a serious tone.
You ignored him and tried to escape with the 2 boys but unluckily, they won’t let you. The worst is, Lay locked the door behind him and Chen.
Your eyes widen in horror, “Yah! What do you think you’re doing?! Let me out!” you yelled but Chen and Lay continued blocking your way.
“You’re now stuck with us. You can’t go out or call for help since our manager is not around.” Kris snapped as he laid on the floor.
You facepalmed yourself and unwillingly back on your bed. “Good girl.” Kris said with his eyes closed.
You glared at him and forced yourself to sleep. Satisfied, Lay and Chen set their blankets near the door to secure that you can’t escape while Luhan set his blanket to your other side. Now, both of your sides are Luhan and Kris lying on the floor.
Tao and Xiumin silently laid on their beds and soon, fall asleep. Then Luhan, Kris, Chen and Lay followed.
Minutes later, your eyelids dropped as you drifted to sleep.
In the middle of the night, you heard a voice whispering. You slowly open your eyes and looked around. You spotted Kris sleep talking. You frowned when you realized that he’s not talking in Korean but in Chinese then it suddenly changed in English then back to Chinese again.
You rolled your eyes and tried your best to sleep but Kris’ voice keep interrupting your sleep. You groaned silently as you sat up. You made a face before getting up and carefully left the room.
Since it’s dark, you couldn’t see anything. Luckily, you didn’t step to anyone’s body.
Once you out, you went to the living room and sat on the couch. You placed your hands on your pocket just when you felt your phone there. You pulled it out to check it.
Your eyes widen whe you saw 30+ new messages and 20+ missed calls from your bestfriend, Baekhee.
You immediately open the messages and Baekhee was asking where you are, why she didn’t saw you at school, why you didn’t reply to her or answer her calls, if you’re sick or something, etc.
You bit your lower lip before setting your fingers on texting her.
to: Baekhee
Sorry for not replying and answering your calls. I only check my phone just now. Call me tomorrow when you wake up. Jalja~
from: Haewon
With that, you put back your phone to your pocket and let out a heaved sigh. But then, you heard a sudden voice spoke,
“What’s with that sigh?”
CHAPTER 24
“What’s with that sigh?” you heard a voice said. You turned to your left side and saw Chen sitting next to you with eyes closed and earphone on his both ears, his back was resting on the back of the couch.
You gasped in surprised, almost having a heart attack. “What the hell are you doing here?!” you cursed.
“Shhh! I’m listening here.” he snapped. You paused and stared at him for a moment. He was peacefully listening to the music through his ipod.
“I went here first.” he blurted out. “Mwo?!” you asked. Chen open his eyes as he removed his earphone then turned to face you, “You’re asking what am I doing here, right? You see, I’m peacefully listening here before you came.” he said.
You rolled your eyes and flatted your back on the couch like Chen did. “Why are you still awake?” you suddenly asked. “Couldn’t sleep, you?” he asked back.
“Same.” you replied. Chen chuckled, “I’m glad I couldn’t sleep.” he muttered. You turned to face him and raised an eyebrow, “Wae?”
“Because I got a chance to have a talk with you.” he replied. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever! I should continue my sleep now.” you stood up and walked away.
“As if you can sleep hearing Kris hyung sleeping talk.” Chen snapped that made you stopped. *Right.* but you just ignored him and continue on your way back to the room.
As you open the door, the first one you heard was Kris. You facepalmed yourself and closed the door again. You decided to check the other rooms but unluckily, all the rooms are locked.
With a sigh, you went back to the living room and sat next to Chen once again.
“I knew it!” you heard him beamed. You shot him a look before rolling your eyes then flatted your back on the couch like what you did earlier.
Silence filled the atmosphere.
“You still didn’t give me your answer.” Chen blurted out that broke the silence. You titled your head in confusion.
“Your sigh, what’s that sigh for?” he asked as he stared at you. You shook your head, “Nothing.” you replied.
“Really? You can share it with me, you know.” he said. You remained silent and flatted your back again on the couch. You rested your head on the couch also as you stared at the ceiling.
“Don’t force yourself. You can open up with me or to the other members once you’re ready to.” he said then put back the earphone on his ears.
Still head rested on the couch, you turned to Chen and watched him listening to music for a while.
“Do you really love music that much?” you asked all of a sudden because of curiousity. Seems like Chen didn’t hear you because of his earphone. His eyes were closed as his head resting on the couch like yours.
You stared at the ceiling again since you don’t receive any response from Chen.
“I just miss my bestfriend and omma..” you whispered, not knowing that Chen was listening to you since he lowered the volume of the music.
“I miss them,” you paused, “..a lot.” you continued. “How I wish they are also here with me..” you said once more.
“So, that’s the reason of your sigh.” you suddenly heard Chen whispered. You turned to him in shock, “You heard me?” you asked.
Chen’s eyes popped open as he gazed to you, “I do.” he replied. “But I thought... you’re listening to music?” you asked.
“Yes, I do.” he replied again. You frowned. “The volume is low so I could still hear you.” he simply replied.
You raised an eyebrow, “So you just trick me huh?” you hissed. “I did? How?” he asked in confusion.
“Because I already stated the reason of my sigh.” you said. “Wae? Did I told you to say that? You’re the the one who volunteered to say that, not me.” he defended.
*Right. He has a point.* “Whatever! You still trick me.” you snapped. “Okay, If you want to believe that.” he said.
SILENCE!
“How about you?” you broke the silence this time. “Me? What about me?” he asked. “Do you have friends?” you asked.
“Of course! EXO are my friends.” Chen replied with a smile. “What about a family?” you asked. “I do have but they’re in Korea so..” he trailed off.
“Don’t you miss them?” you asked again. “Of course I do. I really miss them. It’s been a long time aince I last visit my hometown. That’s before our debut. Now you mentioned it, I really want to go back to Korea and visit them.” he replied. You could feel the sadness on his voice.
You let out a sigh and amazingly, Chen also did at the same time with you. Both you and Chen looked at each ither before bursting into laughter.
“You looks better when you laugh.” Chen commented that made your laugh faded. “You said the same words with Baekhyun.” you suddenly said.
“I did?” he asked. You nodded, “Those words annoys me the most.” you said rolling your eyes. Chen chuckled setting his earphone on his ears.
“About your question earlier, my answer is yes. I do love music very much. Hearing music is the one could make me forget about the emptyness of my family even for a moment.” he said.
“Really?” you asked innocently. Chen nodded. He turned to you, “Do you want to listen to the music? This will help you cheer up yourself.” he said handling you the other piece of earphone.
You just stared at the earphone. Chen nodded you to take it, “Come on, music will make you relax.” he assured.
With a sigh, you took it and stuck it on your left ear while the othee piece was in Chen’s right ear.
Minutes later, you started to forget all the emptyness that you were having earlier and started relaxing yourself. The music was continued playing as both you and Chen silently listening to it.
CHAPTER 25
It was already 7:00am in the morning. Luhan was the first one who wake up. He slowly open his eyes and realized that he was sleeping in the same room as you.
A smile formed on his face as he stretch his arms upward with a yawn. He sat up and search for you on your bed. In his disappointment, you’re not there.
Luhan frowned as he scanned around the room. *Where is she?* he went to Kris side and shook him, “Kris, wake up!”
Kris groaned as he open his eyes, “What?!” he asked in annoyance. “Haewon is missing.” Luhan quickly stated.
Kris’ eyes popped open as he quickly sat up and peeked on your bed. Luhan was right, you’re nowhere to be seen.
Kris then wake up the others, “Wake up! Haewon is missing!” he said shaking them.
All awake, they got off from their bed and glance at your bed. “Omo! Where is she?” Xiumin asked while rubbing his eyes.
Lay stared at your bed and lookes around just when he noticed that you’re not the only one who’s missing but also one of the members.
“Wait! Chen is also missing!” Lay announced. The other members looked at Chen’s place just when they realized that Chen is missing too.
They looked at each other, “They must be together.” Tao stated. “Must check. Let’s go.” Kris said as all of them left the room.
There it is, you and Chen was silently sleeping on the couch. Your head was resting on his shoulder as Chen’s head on the top of your head.
Chen was still holding his ipod while the earphone was dropped on the ground still connected on the ipod.
“I knew it.” Tao said. “How they end up in this state?” Luhan asked. “Come on, let’s wake them up.” Xiumin said as the others nodded in agreement.
Kris shook you while Lay shook Chen. “Wake up.” Lay and Kris cooed. “It’s already morning.” Kris added.
Both you and Chen slowly open eyes. Kris’ face was one that greeted you as Lay’s face greeted Chen.
You turned to your side and so did Chen. You stared at each other for a while.
You frowned, *What’s going on?* you aaked yourself in confusion.
Seconds later, you realized you fall asleep on Chen’s shoulder. You immediately looked away made a distance from him.
“Why did you two end up sleeping here together?” Lay asked. You bit your lower lip, not knowing what to say. Just then, your phone rang. *Thanks to my phone!* you beamed on your head as you pulled out your phone.
Baekhee is calling
You saw the screen says. “Excuse me.” you excused yourself as you stood up and headed to Xiumin and Tao’s room. As you fully inside, you locked it so no one can disturb you.
---
“What did you two do last night?” Kris asked Chen. “Listen to the music.” Chen simply replied as he stood up and went to the kitchen.
The others followed, “Why did she sleeping on your shoulder and your head on top of her head?” Luhan asked.
Chen shrugged, “I don’t know either. The last time I remeber is, we’re just listening to music then.. I don’t know the next and I don’t know why we end up like that.” he replied.
“Did you two talk?” Xiumin asked.Chen nodded, “A little bit.” he said as he get a glass of water and drink it.
“What are you two doing outside the room then? You should be sleeping at the room.” Tao muttered.
“Yeah but I couldn’t sleep.” Chen simply replied. “How about Haewon?” Lay asked. “Same with me.” Chen replied.
“Why did you two can’t sleep?” Kris asked. Chen looked up and raised an eyebrow, “You still asking why? You should know why..” Chen muttered. The others understand what Chen said as they nodded their head.
Kris frowned, still confused. “I don’t get it. Tell me, why?” he asked. Chen rolled his eyes, “Because of your sleeping habbit.” he snapped.
“Uh-oh..” Kris rubbed the back of his neck in embarassment. “Come on, let’s prepare a breakfast. I’m hungry.” Xiumin snapped. They rolled their eyes on him. “Yeah! Mr. Baozi is already hungry.” Luhan said.
Xiumin shot him a look as Luhan stucked his tongue out. Xiumin rolled his eyes then pouted.
Suddenly, the main door burst open and revealed their manager. “Oh! Hyung, you finally back.” Lay said. “Go get ready, you guys will be guesting on Happy Camp later.” the manager said.
EXO-M nodded as they continued preparing the breakfast.
---
“Yeoboseyo?” you answered. “YAH! WHERE ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU NOT SHOWING UP AT SCHOOL?” you pulled your phone away from you ear because of your bestfriend sudden shout coming from the other line of the phone.
You put it back again, “Lower your voice, will you?” you hissed. You heard Baekhee let out a sigh, “Okay, now tell me where you are?” she asked calmly.
With a sigh, you told her all that happened to you. “Aww.. You’re so lucky to be there.” she commented. You rolled your eyes, “I’m not, okay.”
“Psh! I miss you Haewon-ah~” she cooed. “Nado, I miss you.” you replied with a heart.
“Where are you going to come back here by the way?” Baekhee asked. You shook your head through the phone, “Ani. How I wish I can go back there now.” you muttered. “Aww! You must be bored there. I can sense it on your voice.” she said.
“Yes, I am. My bestfriend wasn’t here so it’s really bored here.” you replied. “Aww! You’re so sweet.” she said. “I know right?!” you replied proudly.
“Oh! I almost out of load now, let’s talk again next time or let’s text.” she said. You nodded, “Okay, bye!” you said and with that, the phone call ended.
CHAPTER 26
After the phone call ended, you open the door and went out. Right after you stepped out, EXO-M’s manager passed by.
“Oh.. Ms. Shim..” he called. You bowed a bit, showing your politeness. “Get ready, EXO-M will guesting on Happy Camp tonight.” he gestured.
“Happy Camp?” you asked, completely confused. He simply nodded, “One of the popular variety show here in China.” he explained.
“Uh-oh..” you nodded in understanding. “It’s still morning so you can prepared the boys’ clothes later.” he said.
You nodded once again, “Dae.” The manager give you a nod before heading to his room. With that, you headed towards the living room.
You found EXO-M watching TV there. They were sitting on the long couch all together. You walked over and sat on the single couch on the side.
All 6 pair of eyes gazed at you. You didn’t care to turned your head to them and just focus on the TV screen. Seconds later, their gazes went back to the TV screen.
“Could you guys tell me what kind of show ‘Happy Camp’ is?” you suddenly blurted out, eyes still locked to the TV screen.
Their gazes went back to you in synchronized. You stared back, raising an eyebrow. “Is my question hard to answer?” you asked.
“Uh-oh.. Ani. Umm.. Happy Camp is one if the most popular variety show here in China. It’s like a game show for me and maybe an interview. More like that.” Kris said.
Your mouth formed an ‘o’ as you nodded in understanding. “Why did you ask?” Xiumin asked.
“Nothing.” you replied and turned back your gaze on the TV screen. “Are you going with us on that show?” Tao asked.
“What do you think? Of course, I will go. I’m your personal assistant, remember?” you replied with a rolling eyes.
Tao pouted as Kris patted his back. ‘Get use to her attitude.’ Kris mouthed to the maknae. Tao nodded in understanding.
You stood up, making EXO-M looked up to you. “Where are you going?” Lay asked as you started to walked away. “I need to prepare all you guys clothes.” you replied without turning back and soon, disappeared from their sight.
EXO-M looked at each other. “Let’s also prepare, shall we?” Luhan suggested. “But it’s still early..” Chen snapped.
“And so?” Luhan raised an eyebrow. “Luhan is right, we need to prepare now. Plus, we need to be there early, right?” Xiumin explained.
Luhan smiled, “Thank you Baozi.” he sang. Xiumin rolled his eyes. “I’ll go with them too. Come on guys, let’s get ready.” Kris motioned.
With that, all of them went to their respective rooms including Chen to prepare theirselves.
---
It was already 5:00pm, all was prepared already. EXO-M, the manager and yourself leave the dorm and went to the show called ‘Happy Camp’.
There are lots of fans there. Almost all of them are waiting for EXO-M, holding their own fanboards with an ‘EXO-M’ on it and some of them are holding posters of each member.
You gaze at how many fans are there to wait EXO-M. *They’re already famous. But.. other SMEnt artists are still the best.* you bitterly thought.
Minutes later, the show got started. The opening of the show is a dance. Back-up dancers are one that was dancing then followed by the hosts.
The hosts made an opening speech before calling EXO-M. Just when EXO-M came out, the crowd started to make a loud noise. They were going crazy seeing the new idol EXO-M.
You rolled your eyes then shook your head, *What a crazy fans!* you thought.
The hosts started to talk with EXO-M then each member started to introduced themselves one by one. Even you don’t understand mandarin, you could still sense that they were introducing theirselves.
The show went good. Unluckily, you don’t understand the whole show. You’re really sucks in mandarin so you completely not understand what tgey were saying.
But during the show, a smile just suddenly went up to your face unknowingly. When the time Xiumin, Luhan and Tao were going to kick the ball, you could help but let out a short laugh.
After the show, all of you went back to the dorm. All the members of EXO-M looks tired as they fall aleep in the whole ride on the way to the dorm.
Even you did nothing on the show and just watch, your eyelids voluntarily dropped and soon enough, fall asleep also.
CHAPTER 27
It was already morning as your eyes fluttered open. Still with a blured vision, you gently rubbed your eyes and looked around.
Just then, you realized that you’re alone in the room. You forced yourself to sat up and get off from the bed. You made your way outside the room and found EXO-M preparing the breakfast.
You stared at them, still confused why did you end up lying on the bed. The last thing you remembered that you fell asleep on the way to the dorm.
“Oh! Good morning Haewon-ah~” Luhan greeted as he noticed your presence. The other looked up and give you a smile except for Kris. He was totally frowning at you.
You raised an eyebrow for exchanged. The other members followed your gaze and saw Kris’ frowning expression. They burst into laughter.
“Yah! Hyung, don’t be mad at her.” Tao managed to say. You turned to Tao and also raised an eyebrow, “Why is he mad at me huh?” you asked, totally confused.
“Because last night, hyung carried you to I and Xiumin hyung’s room since no one can’t wake you up even manager hyung. Then manager hyung motioned Kris hyung to carry you instead.” Tao explained.
“So?” you raised your eyebrow even more. “And you keep kicking him while he was carrying you on the way to Xiumin and Tao’s room. Plus, you slapped him on the face when he laid you on your bed.” Lay added with a laugh along with the other members.
Kris shot his co-members a glare that made them stopped on laughing. Kris then rolled his eyes. “You’re just kidding, aren’t you?” you asked. Lay shook his head. “He’s saying the truth.” Chen stated.
You turned to Kris and noticed the red nark on his left cheek. You lowered your head, “Uh-oh.. I didn’t meant to do that..” you whispered.
“Is that your way of apologizing?” Kris smirked. You looked and saw him with a wide grin on his face. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever. Let’s just eat, shall we?” you snapped in annoyance.
“Yay! Finally! Food!” Xiumin beamed. Luhan chuckled, “Baozi really loves food.” he stated. Xiumun stucked a tounge out and started his face.
With a shook of head, you also started your food and so did the other members.
---
A week had passed. Well.. just today, the manager gave you a new room alone. It was a pleasure for you so no one can bothered you anymore. EXO-M were already sleeping as you couldn’t.
You stood up and walked towards the door. You stepped out to get some water when you noticed the manager sitting on the couch while using his laptop.
“Why aren’t you sleeping sir?” you asked. He turned around to face you, “I’m almost done with this. I’ll sleep after I finish this one.” he replied, pointed at the screen of the laptop.
You nodded in understanding as you headed to the kitchen and get a glass if water then drink it. After that, you walked back and saw the manager closed his laptop and stood up.
You looked at him, “Ummm.. Finished?” you asked. He nodded, “I just made some important business.” he replied.
“About EXO-M?” you asked. “Only half part, yes.” he replied. You frowned in confusion, “What do you mean?” you asked.
“You’ll know tomorrow.” he simply replied then walk passed by you before he disappeared from your sight.
You titled your head, *I wonder if he’s related with Lee Sooman.. They’re completely the same.* you thought before heading back your new solo room.
---
Morning came. As usual, you, EXO-M with their manager eat breakfast all together. “I’ll announce an important matter today. Finish the food then follow me to the living room including you,” the manager pointed at you, “..Ms. Shim.” he added then walked towards the living room.
After the breakfast, you all stood up. Completely confused, you and EXO-M headed to the living room and started gathering there.
“So,” the manager started. All the pair of eyes including you were focusing on the manager, waiting for him to continue.
“The important matter that I want to say is,” he paused, “EXO-K and their own manager will going to stay here in one week and their flight is today. They will arrive here anytime tonight.”
CHAPTER 28
“EXO-K and their own manager will going to stay here in one week and their flight is today. They will arrive here anytime tonight.” EXO-M’s manager announced.
“Mwo?!” you’re the first one who reacted since EXO-M seems happy with the good news.
The manager titled his head to you, “Wae? Is there a problem with that?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. “Uh-oh..” you shook your head, “Ani..”
The manager nodded and turned to the boys, “How about you boys?” he asked. “Of course there’s no problem with us. Plus, we already miss EXO-K.” Xiumin replied as he co-members nodded in agreement.
The manager pressed his palms together and straightened up, “Okay then, let’s just wait for their arrival.” he said then left.
You let out a sigh, *So, that’s what he meant last night..* you thought with a poker-face.
“What’s with that expression?” Lay snapped. You looked up and stared at him for a while. Just then, you realized how closed your face to his face.
You immediately pushed him and give him a glare. Lay frowned, “Yah! Why did you pushed me?” he hissed.
You rolled your eyes and stood up. You give him one last glare before heading to your room. Lay titled his head, “What happen to her?” he whispered.
“If you hadn’t realize, your face was too close to her just now.” Luhan muttered.
“I did?” Lay asked as he turned yo the others. They simply nodded. “How come I didn’t notice that?” Lay wondered. EXO-M looled at each other then to Lay. They shook their heads then walked away, leaving Lay dumbfounded.
Lay pouted then followed Luhan to their room.
---
As you entered your room, you quickly closed the door and jumped on your bed. You placed your palms to your both cheeks trying to calm yourself.
For some reason, you couldn’t take off Lay’s face on your vision. On how his face was close to you. You could see how perfect his face is.
*He’s handsome..* you immediately shook away that thought and laid on your bed.
Staring at the ceiling for a while, your eyelids suddenly dropped. Soon, you drifted to sleep unknowingly. Even you just got up from bed earlier, you still fell asleep just now. This day was bored and you was completely tired.
---
It was already 3:00 in the afternoon as you open your eyes. You walked out from the room and headed to the living room.
“Woah! You’re finally awake.” Lay said as he suddenly appeared in front of you with his face close to you again.
You made startled on it as you jumped a little. You pushed him again for the second time today and walk passed by him with a poker-face.
EXO-M was busy watching TV at the living room as Lay followed you with a pout.
“You’ve been doing that face today a couple of times.” Xiumin snapped as you sat on the single couch. You turned to him, “What?!” you aaked in annoyance. Xiumin chuckled, “See? You’re doing it again. You really loves doing that face.” he commented. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!”
“Haewon-ah, we left you a food for your lunch at the kitchen. You should eat now, it’s already late for your lunch.” Tao said. “Right.” you stood up and headed to the kitchen. As you found the food, you took it and headed to the dining area to eat your lunch even it’s already 3:00 in the afternoon.
---
Exactly 8:20 in the evening when the door bell rang. “That must be them.” the manager stood up and approach the main door.
You let out a sigh, *My life here in China will becoming a hell now!* you thought in disbelief.
Expectedly, EXO-K and their own manager entered the dorm. EXO-K has a bright smile on their faces as they walked inside.
“WELCOME TO OUR CHINA!” EXO-M greeted all together. “YAY!”
You saw Luhan and Sehun approach each other first then soon, hugging each other. “I’m happy to see you again hyung.” Sehun said. “Nado!” Luhan beamed.
You rolled your eyes by the view, *Eeeww!*
“Haewon-ah!” you suddenly heard a voice whined. You turned to the direction of the voice and saw Baekhyun walking towards you while spreading his arms intendind to hug you.
Your eyes widen in horror. But before Baekhyun could hug you, you immediately grabbed Xiumin’s arm who is standing right next to you. Then you dragged him in front of you so with Baekhyun eyes closed, he’s now hugging Xiumin.
“Yah! Let go of me!” Xiumin hissed. Baekhyun open his eyes and saw you standing in front of him but not hugging though. Then he realized that he was hugging Xiumin. He immediately let go of Xiumin. The others laugh at him.
“Yah! Hyung, why are you hugging me?” Baekhyun hissed. “Correction, you’re the one who hugged me.” Xiumin muttered with a rolling eyes.
“Guys, stop that.” EXO-K’s manager snapped. “Baekhyun, behave. We’re just got here so please give EXO-M’s manager some respect.” he added.
“Oh.. Mian.” Baekhyun apologized. EXO-M’s shook his head, “No, it’s okay. I know you just miss EXO-M.” he said.
Baekhyun glanced at you as you rolled your eyes, still annoyed at him.
“Come on guys, let’st talk about the room arrangement.” EXO-M’s manager said as he led the way to the living room. All of you gathered to the living room and focus on the managers.
“So.. since I have my own room, EXO-K’s manager will share with me.” EXO-M’s started. “Then, there are 4 rooms here except mine.” he continued.
EXO-M’s manager glanced at you, “Is that okay if the two of them will share a room with you?” he asked.
You stared at him in disbelief. You just got an own room last night and now, you’re going to share with the 2 of them again? Well.. That’s what life is.
With a sigh, you spoke. “Do I have a choice?” you asked back. EXO-K’s manager chuckled, “Sooman was right. She’s different to the other assistants.” he commented. “I know right?!” EXO-M’s manager agreed.
You rolled your eyes because of their comments. “So, who’s going to share a room with her?” Chen asked.
“Good question! We decided that Kai and D.O. will share a room with Chen and Kris since that room is biggest among the other members room. Then Sehun, you’ll be staying with Luhan’s and Lay’s room.” M’s manager stated.
“Yay!” Sehun jumped up and down because of excitement. K’s manager chuckled by the maknae’s reaction, “Behave Sehun.” he snapped as Sehun calmed himself again.
“Shall we continue?” M’s manager asked. EXO nodded as you annoyingly waited for him to continue.
With that, M’s manager continued, “Suho will be sharing room with Xiumin amd Tao. Chanyeol and Baekhyun will stay at Ms. Shim’s room.”
CHAPTER 29
“Chanyeol and Baekhyun will stay at Ms. Shim’s room.” M’s manager announced.
“Yay!” both Chanyeol and Baekhyun beamed as they high-five each other. “Mwo?! Why them?” you reacted.
“Wae? Do you have a problem with them?” K’s manager asked. “You can stay with us again if you want, right Tao?” Xiumin snapped as Tao warmly nodded in agreement.
You open your mouth to speak when Baekhyun snapped you, “No! Of course! She don’t have a problem, right Haewon?” Baekhyun eyed you.
You rolled your eyes and was about to say something when someone interrupted you again. This time, it’s Chanyeol. “Yeah! And I think she like to sleep with us.” he muttered.
“Okay then. Now, go to your respective rooms.” M’s manager gestured. You stared at him indisbelief but M’s manager and K’s manager already left and headed to their room.
You shot Chanyeol and Baekhyun a look as they flashed you a bright smile. “Kaja! I want to see our room.” Baekhyun beamed. Before you coukd protest, both Baekhyun and Chanyeol already dragged you to your room.
Tao pouted, “I still want to sleep with her..” he muttered. “Nado.” Xiumin joined. “But you can’t. Now, mind telling me where our room is?” Suho snapped.
“Oh yeah! This way..” Xiumin and Tao led the way as Suho followed. With that, Kris, Chen, D.O. and Kai headed also to their room and so did Lay, Luhan and Sehun.
---
“Yah! I don’t want to sleep with you two in one room. Let me go!” you screamed under your breath as both Chanyeol and Baekhyun settled you on your bed.
“Only one bed here?” Baekhyun raised an eyebrow as he scanned the room. “I’m the only one who’s sleeping here so of course there’s only one bed here.” you said with a rolling eyes.
“So..” Chanyeol trailed off as he gave you a creepy smile. You frowned, “So now, get off my bed and settle your blankets on the floor.” you snapped.
Chanyeol looked down on your bed, “Your bed seems big and I think all the 3 of us can sleep here, right Bacon?” he said. “You’re right Yeol.” Baekhyun smiled on that idea.
Your eyes widen in horror, “Mwo?! Andwae!! Get off. NOW!” you blurted as you try to pushed them off the bed but they are stronger than you so you failed.
You let out a heaved a sigh, *What have I done in my previous life to give me this kind of punishment?*
“Okay, I give up.” you said and laid on the bed. BaekYeol beamed as they laid next to you. They both facing you that made you feel uneasy.
You cleared your throat, “Er.. Can one of exchange position with me? I don’t want to sleep at the center.” you said, cooly.
“Okay. Let’s exchange.” Baekhyun said. You let out a sigh, relieved. As you wad about to exchange with Baekhyun, Chanyeol grabbed your arm to stopped you.
You turned to him, “What?” you asked, annoyed. “Let’s exchange instead of him.” Chanyeol said. Baekhyun eyed him, “No. She’s going to exchange with me. I want to sleep next to you.” he muttered. “I want to sleep next to her too so she’s going to exchange with me.” Chanyeol protested.
“No! She will exchange with me!”
“No! She won’t!”
“She will!”
“She won’t!”
“She will!”
“She won’t!”
Your ears will going to explode anytime because of their arguement. “Yah! Stop it! I’m not going to exchange to anyone. Now, sleep. I need some rest.” you snapped and closed your eyes.
You heard them beamed as they started nagging at you. You ignored them and let yourself to sleep.
“Haewon-ah, don’t sleep so fast. Let’s talk for a while. You know, we miss you a lot.” Baekhyun said. You didn’t open your eyes, completely ignoring him.
“Haewon-ah, don’t sleep please..” Chanyeol whispered to you ear that made you felt shivers went up to your spine. Still, you didn’t open your eyes and tried your best to sleep.
To you unluck, BaekYeol didn’t gave up easily. They continued nagging you but you keep your eyes shut closed.
Just then, silence filled the room. You mentally smiled, *Finally! I thought they didn’t know how to give up.* with that, you slowly drifted to sleep.
Just when you was about to fully entered the dreamland, you felt 2 pairs of hand started tickling you.
Your eyes popped open, totally startled. You couldn’t help it but laugh. “Y-Yah! S-Stop it!” you managed to say.
“Say that you won’t going to sleep fir a moment and have a talk with the 2 of us first before we’ll stop.” Chanyeol challenged.
“N-No!” you replied. With that, BaekYeol tickled you more that made you laugg hard. “Ara, ara. I w-won’t sleep a-and talk with y-you 2 for a m-moment.” you managed to day between your laugh.
Finally, they stopped. “Good girl!” Baekhyun smirked. You rolled your eyes while breathing heavily.
“So.. did you miss us, EXO-K?” Baekhyun asked as Chanyeol nodded along the question. “No, why would I?” you simply replied, not even thinking if you hurt them or not.
BaekYeol pouted. “Even so.. We miss you,” Chanyeol paused. “..a lot.” he continued. You stunned by his word and remained silent, not knowing what to say.
“Right, we all miss you a lot.” Baekhyun said. “W-Whatever!” you said with a rolling eyes.
With that, no one talk or started a new conversation. That time, you thought that they already done nagging at you but no. They’re just started.
The next thing you realized, they already asking you some random questions. You firmly answered it without you knowing.
It’s already 2:00am but BaekYeol seems don’t want to stop on talking. You facepalmed yourself and mumbled, “I’m tired. Let me sleep now.”
“Want us to sing a song for you for you to sleep peacefully?” Baekhyun asked. You just give him a nod, “That’s good since my sleep isn’t peaceful on the first place.” you sid and closed your eyes.
Baekhyun started the song as Chanyeol sing a long. A smile formed on your face as you heard them sing. Their voices are awesome. Soon enough, you completely fell asleep.
CHAPTER 30
You woke up next mprning because of the loud sound of voices that can be heard around the room.
Your eyes fluttered open as you saw 10 pair of eyes were glued to you. You could see that they were panicking. You frowned and was about to sit up but you couldn’t, you felt a heavy thing on your stomach that making you stopped on sitting up.
You looked down to your stomach and saw two different arms wrapping around your waist. You turned to your both side and saw Chanyeol’s and Baekhyun’s sleeping face.
“Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!” you burst a loud scream that made BaekYeol to wake up. They let out a short groan before slowly opening their eyes.
“What happen?” Baekhyun asked in alert. “Did something bad happen?” Chanyeol also asked in alert.
“Get off of me now, you two perverts!” you cursed as you pushed their arms away from your body. With that, you immediately jumped off the bed.
Both Chanyeol and Baekhyun sat up and saw the other members inside the room. “What are you guys doing here?” Chanyeol asked.
Suho raisedan eyebrow, “We’re just planning to wake you 3 up and then we found out that both you,” he pointed to Baekhyun and Chanyeol, “were sleeping in the same bed with her.” Suho finished.
Kris stepped in the conversation, “Now, mind explaining why you two sleeping on her bed.” he asked as he nodded on your direction.
“Because we both miss her. As simple as that.” Baekhyun answered without a second thought. Chanyeol nodded in agreement. “Just because you miss her, you can force yourselves to sleep on her bed.” Suho snapped. “Exactly!” you exclaimed. BaekYeol pouted.
“Omo! Noona, what happen to your eyes?” Kai suddenly snapped. You stared at him, clueless. “Eh?” you touch your etes before rushing to the wash room.
As you reach inside the wash room, you immediately faced the mirror and saw something dark below your eyes, eyebags. Your eyes widen, “Aahhhhhhhhh!” you let out another scream.
Outside the wash room, EXO stared at each other after hearing your loud scream.
Xiumin narrowed his eyes to both Baekhyun and Chanyeol, “What did you two do to her last night? Nagging all night hmm?”
“Uh-oh.. We’re just too excited last night so we keep nagging at her..” Chanyeol replied as he lowered his head, guilty. Baekhyun looked away, “Mian..” he apolpgized.
“Go and apologize to her not to me.” Xiumin snapped. Just then, you went out from the bathroom with your eyebrows furrowed together.
You shot BaekYeol a glare before walking out the room. “See? She was pissed. Now, go and apologize.” Xiumin said before following you exited. With another glance, the other members exited the room also.
BaekYeol looked at each other. “Eotteokhae?” Chanyeol asked. Baekhyun let out a sigh, “Apologize is the answer.” he replied and get off the bed. Chanyeol also did and with that, they left the room also.

“Oh! Ms. Shim, what happen to your eyes?” K’s manager greeted as you reach the living room. “Ask those bastards who shares room with me.” you replied in annoyance as you sat on the couch next to M’s manager who was sitting next to K’s manager.
“Did Baekhyun and Chanyeol didn’t let you sleep peacefully?” K’s manager asked. “Positive.” you replied with a tired nod. “Uh-oh.. Please excuse them for that. Those two are bit stubborn when they are together.” K’s manager muttered.
You rested the back of your head on the couch, “I want to sleep in deifferent room.” you whispered. “Oh.. They must really that annoying for you, I guess.” M’s manager said. “They are.” you said.
“You can sleep in our room again if you want.” Tao suddenly said as EXO appeared. You stared at him and Xiumin. “Only if you want.” Xiumin said.
You turned to the managers, “I think it’s better to sleep at their room that the room you gave to me.” you said.
“So.. You’re saying that you wanted to move to their room?” M’s manager asked. “It’s not that I wanted to. It’s just that.. I don’t have a choice but to move to their room.” you corrected.
The managers looked up the boys, “Suho, is it okay if you exchange room with her?” K’s manager asked. Suho nodded without a second thought, “No roblem with me. I know BaekYeol is hard to handle but I think I can.” he replied.
“Okay then. Starting tonight, Haewon will sleep on Xiumin’s and Tao’s room back again and Suho on BaekYeol’s room. Understand?” K’s manager announced. EXO nodded except for BaekYeol. K’s manager peeked at them with a raise of eyebrow. BaekYeol lowered their heads before answering, “Dae..”
“Good! Now, prepare yourselves. You guys will have a performance all together in a show.” K’s manager gestured. With another nod, they followed what the manager said.
M’s manager turned to you, “Sorry again for thr boys attitude. You go also and prepare.” he said. You give him a nod and left.

The whole ride to the show was silent. Neither Baekhyun nor Chanyeol got a chance to talk to you since you keep ignoring them.
As the van stopped, you all went out and entered the venue. Inside the dressing room, you help EXO on their clothes since that’s your job.
“Are you still mad at me?” you heard Baekhyun asked as you was fixing his cloth. You remained silent then turned to Chanyeol and fixed his cloth next. “I guess, you’re still mad at us.” you heard Chanyeol said with a sigh.
You looked up and faced them. “Just stop asking me and I won’t mad.” you said and walked away, leaving them dumbfounded.
---
The show got started. Some Chinese artists started to perform. EXO will be the last one will perform so you just waited for their turn. For some reason, you was impatiently waiting to see them performing together.
Hours later, EXO finally went up the stage. Before they start their performance, they make a short introduction first. Kris started, “We are EXO!” then all together, “We are one!” after that, they introduced theirselves one by one in mandarin.
Just after the introduction, EXO started performing ‘MAMA’ continued with ‘History’.
---
After the show, all of you headed to the van and went in. You sat at the back beside the window as Baekhyun sat next to amd Chanyeol next to him.
“Still mad?” Baekhyun worriedly asked as Chanyeol peeked at you, also waiting for your answer. “Just stop bothering me and I won’t.” you replied before closing your eyes.
BaekYeol formed an O shape on their mouth as they looked at each other. Satisfied, a smile went up to their lips and don’t bother you anymore.
The whole ride on the way to the dorm was silent. All of you was completely tired as all of you fell asleep.
Minutes later, the van stopped. The managers started waking you all up one by one. As your eyes popped open, you found yourself carrying by someone. It was Tao and you noticed that Xiumin was walking behind him.
“What are you doing?” you asked, half sleep. “Don’t talk, just sleep. You must be too tired since you didn’t sleep well last night.” he said.
Just then, the 3 of you reach the room. Xiumin open it for the 3 of you as Tao gently laid you on his bed.
“Use my bed tonight. I’ll just sleep on Xiumin hyung’s bed.” Tao said as he pulled up the blanket to your body. You turned to Xiumin.
Xiumin give a nod with an assuring smile. Satisfied, you nodded and closed your eyes. In a few seconds, you drifted to sleep just in quick. You were really tired to talk anymore.
With another one last glance, both Tao and Xiumin went to their place and sleep together in one bed.
