CHAPTER 31
The next day you woke up, you found yourself sleeping with unfamiliar bed. Just then, you remembered that Tao let you sleep on his bed last night.
You slowly sat up and carefully get off the bed. Peeking on Taoa nd Xiumin, you found them silently sleeping together on Xiumin’s bed.
You stared at them for a while until a smile escape on your face, *How cute..* you thought, without even noticing that you were secretly smiling at the view.
You then skipped the room and stepped out. You found the two managers already preparing the breakfast.
“Oh! Ms. Shim, you already awake. We’re preparing the breakfast just now..” K’s manager said. “Oh yeah.. Sorry.. Please wait for us to finish this.” M’s manager added.
You shook your head while waving your hand, “Ani, it’s okay. I’m not that hungry, anyways. But..” you paused, “..if you won’t mind, please let me help you two with that?” you blurted out, peeking at them.
The two managers look at each other in surprised. Then they turned back to you and faced you. They nodded, “Sure..” they both beamed at the same time.
With a smile, you went up to them and helped them prepare the breakfast for the boys, you and the 2 managers.
---
“Hmmmm.. Smells delicious.” you suddenly heard Luhan said. His eyes were closed while walking towards the Kitchen.
Just then, Luhan open his eyes and saw you with managers preparing the food. “Woah! You know hoe to cook?” he asked, amused. You turned to the two managers and asked, “Do I look like I don’t know how to cook?”
The 2 mnagers paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. You made a face and shot Luhan a glare. “Luhan, look what you did. You already make her pissed early in the morning.” M’s manager said.
Luhan stared at you. You lowered your head and continued on what you was doing. Luhan rested his both elbows on the kitchen counter as his jaw rested on his palms. “Mian..” he sang.
You looked up and saw the sincerity on his angelic face. “Whatever!” you replied and continued on what you was doing again. Luhan pouted.
Suddenly, you heard other voices came. “Ahhhh~” the other EXO members came out with a yawn. You simply ignored them like what you did with Luhan.
“Omo! Haewon noona, knows how to cook?” Sehun gasped as he excitedly run next to Luhan. With that comment, the 2 managers bursting into laughter. Not only the two managers but also Luhan.
You bit your lower lip and stopped on what you was doing. “I don’t want to continue this anymore. I’ll just wait at the living room until the breakfast will finish.” you said without looking at any of them and stormed off to the living room.
The managers and Luhan stopped laughing by your sudden reaction. Sehun turned to Luhan, “Did I say something bad?” he innocently asked.
Luhan simply shook his head, “Ani, you didn’t but I did and so they are.” he said pointing at the two managers.
“You started it Luhan, remember?” M’s manager snapped as K’s manager nodded in agreement along with unreadable smile.
“Okay, I’ll go to her.” with that said, Luhan go after you. Totally confused, the other members except D.O. followed Luhan behind.
“I’ll help the hyungs about The food instead.” D.O. stated as the 2 managers nodded in agreement.
---
“Are you mad at me?” Luhan asked as he sat next to you. You shrugged and sat on the other couch as you started playing with you phone.
Luhan followed you, “Hey, are you mad?” he asked once again. “Stop annoying me and don’t go near me.” you said, eyes still glued at your phone.
Still confused, the other members sat on the long couch as the others on the floor staring at you and Luhan.
Luhan then snatched your phone away. You shot him a look, “Yah! Give my phone back to me!” you yelled. “No, not until you answer me.” he replied.
“What?” you asked in annoyance. “Are you mad at me?” he asked. “Yes. Now, give my phone back.” you replied withour any hesitation.
You could here the boys reacted with an ‘ohhhhhh’ sounds because of your unbelievable amazingly reply.
Luhan then handed it back to you, “I’m really sorry..” you heard him whispered as he lowered his head before walking away from you and sat next to Sehun.
You lifted your head up and watched him. The sadness was appearing on his face. You started to feel guilty on what you did. Being a cold-hearted girl, you shrugged it away and continued playing on your phone.
You could feel 10 pair of eyes were glued to you. You sloely look up and saw the other members staring at you. “What?” you asked, annoyed. “Look at Luhan, he was sad beause your mad at him.” Lay said. “So?” you raised an eyebrow.
EXO shook their heads in disappointment. Just then, the managers finally called all of you since the breakfast was ready.
All of you headed to the dining area and make yourselves comfortable on the seats. You was sitting in between the two managers while Luhan sitting across you.
As you all started the food, you noticed that Luhan was eating vey slow. Seems like he was still sad because of you being mad at him.
You let out a sigh and cleared your throat, “If you’re not going to eat a little bit fast, I’ll be forever mad at you.” you said and took a bite on your food.
Everyone stops eating except you. They stared at you with wide eyes, surprised on what you had said. Slowly, a smile formed on Luhan’s face. Brightened, Luhan started to eat a little bit fast with full of energy.
The others were still staring at you that made you stopped, “Aren’t you guys going to eat? Or you guys want me and Luhan to eat all these foods?” you simply snapped.
“Uh-oh..” they nodded and continued their food. You shrugged as you accidentally met eyes with Luhan. He give you a bright smile as you rolled your eyes and continued your food.
Luhan pouted as he also continued eating. With another glance at Luhan, you went back to your food and secretly smiling.
CHAPTER 32
As the breakfast finished, the managers make an important excuse. “We have something important to do. We’ll be gone the whole and right back at late night, I guess. Today, EXO’ free day but you guys can’t go outside though. It will be dangerous if you you guys do.” M’s manager said.
K’s manager nodded, “He’s right.” he turned to you, “Ms. Shim, please take of the boys while we’re gone, okay?” he asked. You simply nodded.
“Okay then. We’re going now.” with that said, the 2 managers left. As the managers disappeared, EXO turned to you and give you a smile.
You raised an eyebrow, “What now?” you asked in irritance. “Let’s have a movie marathon!” Chanyeol beamed. “Yeah!” the others cooed.
You rolled your eyes, “Go and watch. I’ll go to sleep again.” you said and was about to leave but someone stopped you.
Just then, you realized that you was carried by the tall man named Kris. “Yah! Put me down!” you yelled.
He ignored you and continued bringing you to the living room until he make you sat on the couch as he sat next to you. Suho then sat next on your other side. The other boys search for their seats and make themselves comfortable.
D.O. was the one who choose and set the movie that you all are going to watch. He chooses a horror film that was really a boring genre for you.
As the movie started, a yawn already escape from your mouth. The boys stared at you. “Horror films are boring.” you stated. “Change it Kyungsoo hyung.” Kai said.
“But I want to watch a horror film today.” D.O. snapped. “Then go watch it by yourself in our room.” Kai said. D.O. pouted, “Okay, I’ll change it.” he then changed it to a comedy one.
“I don’t like comedy either.” you said. They all stared at you in surprised. “Then what genre do you want?” Xiumin asked.
“None. I don’t want to watch a movie today, actually.” you simply replied. “For some reason, I don’t want to watch a movie today too.” Suho agreed to you.
“I think I don’t want to watch anymore since Haewon don’t want to.” Baekhyun said as he gave you a smile. You rolled your eyes, “Since some of you didn’t want to watch a movie, can I go to sleep now?” you asked.
They all shook their heads quickly, “No!” they echoed. “Aish! What do you guys want now?” you asked in annoyance.
They all paused until Chen exclaimed, “Why don’t we play truth or dare then?” he suggested.
You stared at him in disbelief, “Andwae—” before you could completely protest, they all agreed with Chen’s suggestion. “Sounds good.” Tao said.
You stood up, “Just play without me.” you stated and started to walked away. “If you don’t play with us, we’ll going outside so that our managers will scold you.” Kris snapped that made you stopped.
You froze in horror. You spun around, “Don’t you guys dare—” you words was cut off by Kris again, “Be ready guys, we’re going out.” he anounced.
The others nodded and stood up, completely agreeing on Kris idea. “Wait! I’ll go play with you guys now.” you blurted out.
After hearing what you said, they immediately went back to their seats and motioned you to come over. With a sigh, you did.
All of you encircled and sat on the floor with a bottle at the center. “Let’s use the bottle once.” Luhan started then continued, “Whoever the bottle got stop, he or she will be the first who ask truth or dare then the next one will be the person on his or her right side. Is it clear?” he asked.
All the boys nodded. Luhan raised an eyebrow to you. With another sigh, you boringly nodded.
“Okay, let’s start.” Luhan then spin the bottle. The motion of the bottle started to get slower. Suddenly, the bottle stops at Suho who is sitting on your right side. Means you’re the last person will take the game.
“So, I think I’m the first one then.” Suho said. Luhan nodded, “Yeah and Haewon will be the last.” he said.
“Truth or dare?” Chen suddenly asked Suho. “Truth.” Suho replied in just quick seconds. “What did you feel when some of your fans saying that you and Super Junior’s Choi Siwon looks a like?”
Suho paused for a moment before answering, “Honestly, I don’t think we look a like but many fans notice that. My feelings? Well, I’m fluttered that one of the members of Super Junior have a bit the same looks as me.”
“Go to the next. Lay, truth or dare?” Lay paused for a while, “I’ll take the dare.” he finally said.
“Good choice. Now, do your dance like what you did on your childhood days, like the video you showed in the show ‘Happy Camp’.” Kai said. “What? That was embarrassing if I do it here.” Lay said, glancing at your way.
“But you choose a dare.” Luhan snapped. Lay heaved a sigh, “Araseo.” he then slowly stood up and started to dance.
As the time Lay started to dance, you couldn’t help but laugh and so did the other members. After the dance, Lay sat back down and covered his red face, “That was embarrassing..” he mumbled.
Luhan elbowed him, “It’s okay. Look! You make Haewon laugh.” he said nodded on your way.
Lay lifted his head and saw you laughing. As much as you wanted to stop, you can’t. You were still remembering lay dancing like a kid.
EXO smiled seeing your laugh. Finally, you calmed down yourself and cleared your throat, “Go continue.” you motioned them.
“Uh-oh.. Yeah.. Who’s next now?” Luhan asked. “It’s now your turn, hyung” Sehun snapped. “Oh! It’s already my turn?” Luhan asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Yeah, yours.” Lay said. “So, truth or dare?” “Truth.” Luhan replied without any hesitation.
“Is HunHan real?” Luhan stopped on that question. He glance at Sehun who is sitting next to him, he smiled and turned to faced all of you again before answering, “Maybe..”
“Yah! What kind of answer is that! You must give us a true answer.” Lay snapped. “But that’s the truth, right Sehunnie?” Sehun smiled and nodded.
“Now, you’re turn Sehunnie.” Luhan snapped. Sehun nodded, “Okay. I’ll choose the truth also.” he said.
“Okay, okay. Since Luhan didn’t give us a good answer. Now, give us. What Luhan mean by his answer ‘maybe’?” Sehun shrugged, “Umm., maybe no or maybe yes..” he replied. Luhan chuckled, “What a nice answer, Sehunnie.” Luhan commented as he patted his shoulder.
“Yah! Make your answer clear.” Kai snapped. “I already answer the question. Now, it’st your turn Kai.” Sehun snapped.
“Truth or dare?” Luhan asked. “Dare.” Kai replied. “Kiss one of the member of EXO on the cheek.”
“Mwo?!” Kai gasped. “You choose the dare so deal with it.” Baekhyun snapped. Kai sighed, “Araseo.” with that said, Kai faced D.O. who is sitting next to him and immediately kissed him on the cheek.
*Eeewww* you thought as your expression changed into unreadable one. “Yah! Why me?” D.O. groaned as he wiped his cheek. Kai just stucked his tounge our at his hyung.
“Your turn, hyung.” Kai snapped. “Okay, I also take the dare.” D.O. said. “Sing a song with a high notes.” “So easy.” D.O. said as he started to sing.
You stared at him as he started his song. Your mouth formed an O shape because of his beautiful voice. Just then, D.O. finished the song as your mouth still forming an O shape.
“You amused someone here.” Suho said. You closed your mouth and cleared your throat, “Go on and continue.” you snapped.
“Baekhyun, truth or dare?” “Dare.” he replied. “Show us your famous licking lips while looking at Haewon.”
You gulped and stared at Baekhyun. He stared back and said, “Okay, okay.” then he did.
You swallowed hard and looked away, *Why so hot here? Oh My God!*
Baekhyun smirked, “You’re turn now, Yeol.” he said. “I’ll take the truth.” Chanyeol said.
“Who is your favorite member of EXO if you were a fan?” Chanyeol paused and think before saying, “Baekhyun because he is talented. I’m not saying that you guys are not talented. It just that—” he was cut off.
“Okay, okay. We already understand. You’re close to him and we understand that.” Suho snapped. Chanyeol pouted. Baekhyun patted his back and give him a smile.
“Stop lovey dovey here. Now, Chen’s turn.” Kris said. “Truth or dare?” “Dare.” Chen replied.
“Go sing a song for Haewon.” Chen cleared his throat and started the song called ‘Baby, don’t cry’. As Chen started his song, your heart started to melt because of how he delivered the song well from the beginning until the song ended.
EXO stared at you, studying your expression. Satisfied, the game continued. “Next, Baozi!” Luhan beamed. Xiumin shot him a look then rolled his eyes. “I’ll take the dare.” he stated.
“Show us your baozi aegyo.” Luhan said. Xiumin rolled his eyes again but did as told.
*Cute.* you thought, not letting yourself to let out a giggle.
“Tao, you’re next. Truth or dare?” “Dare” “Show us some martial arts and also your aegyo that every girl want to see.” Tao nodded and stood up. First he did the matial arts that he always shows to everyone then the next one he did is his aegyo.
*Super cute.* you squealed in your mind.
“Now, you’re turn Kris hyung.” Tao said. Kris nodded, “Dare.” he said.
“Please speak in English, Cantonese, Mandarin and Korean.” Kris cleared his throat as he did.
*Woah! What a smart guy.* you thought, amazed.
“Last but not the least, Haewon. Truth or dare?” they cooed. You suddenly gulped, realizing that it’s now your turn. You paused and said, “Truth.”
EXO paused on it before asking,
“Why did you hate us?”
CHAPTER 33
“Why did you hate us?”
That question made you stunned on your tracks. EXO’s eyes were glued to you with curiousity. You started to feel uneasy by that time.
Moment later, you cleared your throat and finally open your mouth to speak. “To be honest, I don’t hate you guys..” you started that made EXO brightened. But then you continued, “But I didn’t say that I like you guys either.”
They give you a confused look. “What do you mean by that?” D.O. asked. “What I mean is, you guys are just a normal people to me. Nothing special.” you stated.
“According to your statement, seems like you do hate us.” Xiumin commented in a sad tone. “Honestly, I hate you guys.” you trailed off.
EXO stared at you with wide eyes. Then you continued, “In our first meeting and I could feel that it doesn’t the same anymore. Day by day, that hatred started to vanish.” you said.
“So, you like us now?” Luhan asked, excited. You shook your head, “No. I don’t like you guys but I don’t hate you guys either.” you said, repeating what you had said earlier.
“Then—” Baekhyun was about to throw you another question but you cut him off, “You guys already asking me lots if questions. Be fair. So, I think this game was already finish hmm?” You stood up, “I’m going back to sleep now.” you said and walked away without turning back. You headed to your room and take a nap.
The boys left there, dumbfounded. Though you gave them an answer, it wasn’t clear enough for them to understand. You actually left them hanging with your confusing answer.
---
Days had passed. It’s been a week already since EXO-K came to China. Now, their visit at China ended.
“Everyone, EXO-K will going back to Korea tomorrow and continued their career there since that place is there target actually.” M’s manager announced.
EXO nodded in understanding as you sat there, waiting for the conversation to end. “Another thing,” K’s manager snapped.
All the pair of eyes focus on him and then he continued, “Ms. Shim will going back with us.” he blurted out that made EXO especially EXO-M, eyes widen.
“Me? Going back to Korea?” you excitedly asked with a smile on your face. Both K and M manager nodded.
“Mr. Lee Sooman told us to bring you back to Korea. He told us that you must already miss your mom there and your bestfriend.” K’s manager said as you nodded, beaming.
EXO-M gaze at you with sadness. You could feel the atmosphere became different. Your eyes found the expressions of EXO-M members. You felt sad because of their reaction.
“So now, go to bed and sleep. We still have to wake up early in the morning because of the flight.” K’s manager said.
“EXO-M, you guys also. You’ll be having an interview on the morning show.” M’s manager said. With that, the two managers left.
“Come on everyone. Let’s go to bed now.” Suho said as the other EXO-K’s member nodded.
Still, EXO-M’s expression didn’t changed. You glance at them, sadly. You bit your bottom lip, *I hope I made the right decision.*
You took a deep breath before blurting out, “You guys can sleep with me in one room tonight if you guys want.”
They stopped on their tracks and stared at you in surprise. “We can sleep with you tonight?” Baekhyun asked, super excited.
You shook your head, “Not you guys,” you pointed at EXO-K then to EXO-M, “Only the members of EXO-M allow to sleep in the same room with me tonight since I’m going to leave China tomorrow.” you snapped.
Baekhyun pouted along with the other EXO-K’s members. While EXO-M was happily beaming at you. They almost cried in happiness because of what you had offer to them.
“So, are you guys want to sleep with me or not?” you asked, peeking at EXO-M. They all nodded like a puppy.
You shrugged and stood up, “Okay then. Let’s go to sleep.” you said and was about to walked towards Xiumin’s and Tao’s room but Kris snapped you.
“Let’s use our room since that’s the biggest among all the rooms here.” Kris said that made you stopped halfway. “Sure.” you replied and continued walking to the way to Kris’ and Chen’s room.
With that, EXO-M followed you with full of happiness. EXO-K on the other hand, sadly went to their room. Baekhyun and Chanyeol together. Suho and Sehun together. Then Kai and D.O. together.
CHAPTER 34
As you and EXO-M stepped inside the room, the boys got excited. You frowned when you saw that there are only 2 beds inside the room. The boys immediately noticed your expression.
“Let’s sleep on the floor all together, shall we?” Tao suggested. The boys paused and slowly turned to you, peeking out your reaction.
“I think that’s a good idea.” you finally said as you walked forward. The boys stared at you with wide eyes, as if they heard your statement wrong.
You turned around and faced them. You raised an eyebrow, “Are you guys planning to stand there the whole night or something?” you blurted out.
They all shook their heads in unison and walked towards you. “Let’s move the beds aside first before we settle our place on the floor.” Kris suggested.
You nodded, “Okay, that will be good.” you said with a smile. The boys jaws dropped upon seeing you smiling. Your smile fade away and changed it with a frown. “Close all your mouths before the flies went inside of that.” you snapped.
They all closed their mouths and swallowed hard. *Weird.* that was all on their minds because of your sudden changed of action.
The boys help each other on moving the beds to the corner. After that, all of you settled the blankets on the floor.
“You know what? You’re different just now..” Chen suddenly split out. You paused on your tracks and turned to him. Chen gulped as the boys stared at the two of you in horror.
“So, you want me to ignore you guys tonight?” you snapped. Chen quickly shook his head, “Ani. That’s not what I mean. It’s just that, you’re nice just now.” he replied.
“Now, you’re saying I’m not nice?” you raised an eyebrow. Chen shook his head once again, “Ani. Yes, you’re nice but not to us.” he said.
You made paused on it and glued your eyes to the blankets that were flatted on the floor.
Luhan let out a yawn that broke the silence, “We should sleep now.” he said. You looked up and saw the boys nodded. “How about our arrangement?” Xiumin suddenly asked.
The boys looked at each other then turned to you, “On what place do you want to sleep?” Kris asked. You stared at them for a moment until Chen spoke, “Center will be a better place for you so we can have a talk with you a little longer.” he suggested.
You stared at Chen for a moment before giving him a smile, “Araseo! I’ll take the center spot.” you said. The boys stared at you in surprised. “Are you sure?” Lay asked.
Without any hesitation, you nodded. “Ne, I’m pretty sure. Also,” you trailed off. EXO-M focused on you, waiting for you to continue. “I want to sleep in between Lay and Kris.” you finished your sentence.
Both Lay and Kris stared at you in surprise yet happy. You could see the other boys pouted in disappointment.
“Why do you want to sleep next to them?” Luhan asked with a pout. You shrugged, “I just want to.” you replied cooly.
Chen sighed, “It’s her decision, we must respect it.” he stated. Kris and Lay nodded in unison, grinning with happiness.
The boys rolled their eyes to their leader and lead dancer. With a shook of head, you carefully laid on the blankets and let yourself comfortable on your spot.
As the boys saw you already lying, they also did. Lay on your left side as Kris on your right side. Tao next to Kris and Chen next to Tao. Luhan next to Lay and Xiumin next to Luhan.
All of you stared at the ceiling with the atmosphere filled of silence. “Can I ask you guys something?” you suddenly split out. The boys glance at your direction as you keep staring at the ceiling.
EXO-M looked at each other before nodding to each other. “Go on.” Lay said as the boys went back to stare at the ceiling.
“Why are you guys so nice to me?” you asked. They all paused on it then Kris started, “To be honest, we don’t know either. Maybe because ourselves voluntarily wanted to be nice towards you.” he replied.
“You know, you guys should stop being nice to me..” you said. “Why so?” Luhan asked. “Because I don’t deserves to receive a threat like that. I can’t reply you guys the same threat like how you guys doing to me.” you replied.
“But we’re not asking for you to be nice to us.” Tao said. “And if you didn’t notice, you’re already nice to us. Like Chen said earlier, you’re nice to us right now. You’re now talking to us than usual.” Xiumin snapped.
You paused before hering his statement. But then, Chen spoke. “And I’m already happy to see a nice Haewon, even only in one night, tonight.”
“Not only us, EXO-M but also EXO-K will be happy if you threat them nicely even for one day.” Lay added.
You let out a sigh, “It’s getting late. We should sleep now. Umm.. Can you guys sing a song for me before I sleep?” you asked.
“Sure..” with that, they started singing their song ‘Into Your World’. Both Kris and Tao sing along, second voicing.
A smile appeared on your face upon hearing their beaitiful voices LIVE. Every fangirl would squeal because they’re singing LIVE near you.
Moments later, the song ended. “At first, I thought you guys are bad performers but I guess I’m wrong..” you whispered but loud enough for them to hear.
They froze upon hearing your statement. With a slow motion, they turned to you but you was already visited the dreamland.
“Jalja~” they sang and with a smile, EXO-M closed their eyes then drifted off to sleep.
CHAPTER 35
Morning came. You woke next morning, lying on a bed. You frowned, *How did I end up here?* you thought.
“Oh! You’re finally awake.” you suddenly heard a voice said. You turned to the voice’s direction and saw Luhan standing there with his wet hair.
“Where’s the others? And how did I end up here?” you asked. “About that, Kris carried you to his bed because we noticed that you’re not comefortable on your position that’s why..” he explained.
“And the others?” you asked once again. “They’re getting ready for the morning show. I just finished taking a bath so I went here to check you up. Now, you’re awake. You should prepare yourself.” he muttered.
You raised an eyebrow, “Wae?” you asked, completely confused. “Don’t you remember? You’re flight with EXO-K on coming back to Korea is scheduled today.” Luhan reminded.
“Right! I almost forgot.” you then jumped off the bed but lost your balance. Luckily, Luhan was there and caught you in time.
“Be careful.” Luhan said as he help you to stand up straight. “Oh.. Gomawo.” with thay said, stormed off the room and headed to the bathroom.
Luhan watched you walked away, *That’s the first time, first time hearing her thanking to anyone of us..* he thought but smiled.
---
As you finished taking a bath, you started packing up your things on going back to Korea, your hometown.
“Ready now Ms. Shim?” K’s manager asked. You beamed and nodded. Just then, EXO-K came out with a smile on their faces.
You rolled your eyes upon seeing their happy faces. For some reason, you don’t want to go back to Korea yet.
Just then, EXO-M came out with their manager. EXO-M wasn’t happy at all. They did really enjoyed being with you here in China.
You gaze at them before walking towards them. “Yah! Lightened up! The fans will be sad if they saw you guys in the morning show with that looks on your faces.” you said.
EXO-M looked at you in surprise and so did EXO-K. The managers glance at each other and smiled playfully upon seeing the different Haewon.
With that, EXO-M smiled brightly at you. “We’ll going to see each other again, right?” Lay asked, peeking at you. You nodded, “Of course! I’m EXO’s personal assisant, remember?” you replied.
“Yeah. She’s right. She’s our personal assistant so she will always stick with us but for now, she need to stay with EXO-K.” Kris said. You smiled at him in understanding.
“So.. I think this is a goodbye for now.” you trailed off. “Can we hug you?” Tao slowly asked. You paused and remained silent for a while.
“Oh.. It’s okay if you don’t want to..” Tao said with a pout. You looked up and smiled, “You guys are allowed to hug me.” you blurted out.
EXO-M’s eyes widen but Tao is wider. With a jump, Tao immediately hugged you. You startled by his sudden action but chuckled at the same time.
“We will miss you..” Tao said with a sad tone. You patted his back, “We will still see each other soon..” you said. Tao broke the hug, “See you soon then..” he said with a smile. You smiled back and nodded.
The next person who hug you is Chen. “When the time we see each other again, I’ll sing you another song.” he whispered between the hug. You broke the hug and stared at him, “Really?” you asked.
Chen smiled and nodded, “I promise.” he said raising his right hand, showing the sign of his promise. “Okay then. I’ll wait for that.” you said.
Then Lay hugged you next. “We didn’t talk much unlike the other members so I hope we can have a long conversation for our next meeting..” he said. You nodded, “Okay, we will..” ypu replied.
With a smile, Lay pulled back as Kris hugged you next. “You’re so tall.” you commented that made the other members even EXO-K burst into laughter.
“And you’re so short.” Kris snapped. You rolled your eyes but smiled. “We will miss you,” he paused, “a lot.. We will miss your bad attitude towards us.” he said. You released yourself from his hug and give him a glare, “So you still want me to be bad towards you huh? Okay then, just wait until we meet again.” you said and smirked.
“Mwo—” Kris didn’t finshed his sentence because Xiumin already hugging you. “I’m different with Kris. I like the new Haewon more. So please don’t change towards me hmm?” Xiumin whispered.
You smiled and nodded, “Dae.. Baozi..” you replied. Xiumin boke the hug, “Baozi?” he frowned. “I keep hearing it from Luhan so I thought that’s your nickname..” you explained.
Xiumin shot Luhan a look. Luhan shrugged, “I didn’t told her to call you by that name.” he defended an walked towards to give you a hug.
“We will miss you. I hope you’ll be okay there when we’re busy here.” Luhan said. You nodded, “Yeah.. I hope so too. I hope you guys will do great here in China too.” you replied.
“Ne, we will do our very best. And,” Luhan lean closer to your ear, “Keep calling Xiumin a Baozi because it’s more fit with him. Baozi, little bun.” he whispered then pulled back.
You chuckled and give him a nod. You glance at Xiumin and giggled. Xiumij give Luhan a look, “What did you say to her?” Luhan shrugged, “Nothing.”
“Okay, okay.. Stop that. You guys will going to be late if you don’t leave now. The morning show will start soon.” M’s manager reminded EXO-M.
“Right! let’s go now!” Luhan said as Xiumin rolled his eyes on him. Luhan stucked his tongue out to him as Xiumin made a face. You chuckled by their childish act and shook your head.
“We need to go now also.” K’s manager said. EXO-K and you nodded. With that, all of you stepped out the door.
CHAPTER 36
You waved a last goodbye to EXO-M before entering the van with EXO-K and K’s manager. With that, the van that EXO-M using droved off.
Next soon, the van that you were using also droved off. You were smiling that time, remembering the childish act of EXO-M.
Suddenly, someone poke your shoulder. You turned to your side and saw Baekhyun. Your smile fell, “What?” you asked, annoyed. “Why are you nice to them but not to us?” he pointed out.
You made a pause on it. You then shrugged, “Quit asking. I don’t want to talk for now.” you replied then glnace at the window.
Baekhyun pouted then went back to Chanyeol. “What did she say?” Chanyeol asked. Baekhyun sadly shook his head, “Nothing, as usual.”
EXO-K face fell and decided to not bother you.
Moments later, the van finally stopped. All of you including the manager stepped out the car. With that, all of you headed to the plane and entered it.
You was the last person who enter the plane among all you 8. You look around, searching for a better place. There are only two vacant seats there. Unluckily, the one is in between D.O. and Suho and the other one is in between Chanyeol and Baekhyun.
You facepalmed yourself upon seeing those vacant seats. That time, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, Suho and D.O. were brightly smiling at you, hoping that you could seat next to them.
With a sigh, you dragged your foot forward until you reach the center of the seats. You glance left to right, thinking of the right spot to sit on.
Just then, Chanyeol reach your wrist. You turned to him and raised an eyebrow, “You can sit next to us.” Chanyeol said gesturing the seat in between him and Baekhyun. You saw Baekhyun smiled and nodded. The manager was sitting to Baekhyun with his eyes closed.
You shrugged then give them a smile. BaekYeol excitedly beamed when they saw you smile, knowing that you would sit in between them but no.
You twisted your wrist, escaping from Chanyeol’s grip. “Sorry but I’d rather choose to sit in between Suho and D.O. than you guys.” with that, you turned to Suho’s and D.O.’s direction then sat in between them.
BaekYeol pouted upon wintessing your walking away from them.
“Good choice!” Suho said as D.O. nodded on agreement. You rolled your eyes, “Make sure that I made the right choice.” you whispered and closed your eyes. Just then, you heard voices giggling. You turned to your right and saw both Kai and Sehun giggling with happiness.
“Well.. I guess this is a wrong place.” you said with a sigh after seeing Kai sitting next to D.O. and Sehun next to Kai.
“As if you can take to sit between those derps.” D.O. snapped, nodding at Baekhyun’s and Chanyeol’s direction.
With another sigh, you closed your eyes. “Sleep will be the one that can help me..” Suho chuckled and so did D.O. Soon, you drifted off to sleep.
---
Slowly, your eyes open. You looked around and saw EXO-K except D.O. sleeping. You turned to D.O. and realized that he was listening to his ipod with an earphone on his ears.
D.O.’s back and head was comfortably resting to his seat. He was like Chen when it comes to music. They both love hearing music but the different is, Chen was listening to music with eyes closed but for D.O., he’s eyes were open. Correction: WIDE OPEN just like his name, D.O
You keep examining his action and study his eyes also, studying if it is going to blink or not. Unbelievably, it’s not.
“Quit staring.” D.O. suddenly spoke. You froze, right on your spot. You then cleared your thoat and shrugged, “I’m not.” you said, looking away.
D.O. turned to you as he removed one the earphone on his left ear, “You are.” he said. You looked back at him and was about to say something but you suddenly burst onto laughter upon seeing his wide eyes just in front of you.
D.O. frowned, “Yah! What are you laughing at?” he asked in confusion. You tried to speak but your laugh stopping you to do so. All you just did was pointing at him a you continued laughing that cause the other wake up.
“What’s happening?” Suho asked while rubbing his eyes. Kai give D.O. a confused look but all D.O. was shook hi head since he have no idea of your laugh also.
BaekYeol which is sitting across your seats, took a peek on you. They glance at each other in confusion. “What’s that?” Chanyeol asked. Baekhyun shook his head, “Molla..”
D.O. then held your shoulder, “Yah! Stop laughing. People will be mistaken you as a crazy girl.” he said. Finally, you managed to stop on laughing and calm down.
D.O. raised an eyebrow, “What exactly happen to you? You just burst into laughter without a reason.” he said. “Who says my laughter has no reason?” you snapped.
He raised an eyebrow, “So, what is the reason then?” he asked. “Your eyes.” you said, loud enough for all the members of EXO-K to hear.
With that statement, EXO-K burst into laughter upon hearing your straightforward answer. D.O. shot his co-members a look that made their stopped laughing.
Then he turned to you, “You one crazy girl.” he said. “Psh! I’m not crazy. It’s just that, your eyes were big. Haha!” you said, letting out a short laugh that made the other chuckled before going back to sleep.
Embarrassed, D.O rested back on his seat and put back his earphone to his left ear then closed his eyes, not wanting you to make fun with him anymore.
With another chuckle, you glance at him then grabbed the earphone from his left ear. D.O.’s eye popped open as he turned to you, “Yah! What was that?!” he hissed.
But your eyes were closed as your head was resting on your seat. The earphone was already stuck on your right ear. “Don’t stare at me or I’ll burst into laughter again.” you snapped, still eyes closed.
“Give me first my earphone.” he said. “I want to listen to music before I sleep. You have one earphone so let me have this one for a moment. You can freely remove it when I’m completely fall asleep.” you said with eyes closed.
Hearing your reason, D.O. let you shared with his earphone. He then changed his earphone from his right ear to his left so it will be compatible to each other.
Soon enough, you drifted off to asleep. D.O. doesn’t want to bother you anymore so he let the earphone remained on your ear and soon, D.O. followed you to dreamland.
CHAPTER 37
You were busy dreaming about SHINee when you felt someone shook you, completely interrupting your beautiful dream.
Your eyes popped open and saw Suho’s face in front of you. “Wae?” you asked in annoyance. “We’re already here~” he said. You glance at the window and realized that Suho was right. Just then, you felt a thing dropped down from your ear. You realized that it was D.O.’s earphone and the song that was currently playing was SHINee’s Sherlock.
Now, you found out why you have a dream with SHINee. Suho then shook D.O., who is sitting next to you. As D.O. open his eyes, the sight of you greeted him.
You raised an eyebrow. D.O. rolled his eyes and completely removed the earphones on his left ear. He turned off his ipod and keep it to his bag.
With that, the others woke up also. All of you then exited the plane and headed to the ready-van that was waiting in front of Seoul Airport.
There are lots of fan waiting outside. The manager and the other staffs that was working at SMEnt make their way to hide you, not wanting the fans to see you. The reason is, you’re too young to work with an idol with quite same age as you becase fans will hate that.
Luckily, you reach the van safely. As all the members of EXO-K finally inside the van, it droved off towards the SM Building.
---
“How was the trip?” Sooman greeted you a question. You raised an eyebrow, “What did you expect?” you asked back.
Sooman chuckled by your unbelievable answer. “You still the Shim Haewon I meet the first time.” he commented. “Yeah and I will forever be the Shim Haewon you know.” you snapped.
“So, okay! No work today. You can go back to your house now. Your mom was probably waiting for you.” Sooman said. You nodded and stood up then grabbed your bag and walked away, without saying any words to him.
“How about us?” Suho asked Sooman. “No schedule today so you can go back to the dorm and take some rest.” Sooman replied. EXO-K nodded and bowed to Sooman before leaving.
---
“Get in Agashi.” the driver said as he open the van door for you. You didn’t hesitate to refuse the offer so you just entered the van without saying a word.
Just then, EXO-K followed inside in just quick time. You frowned, “Aren’t you guys busy today?” you asked.
They shook their heads. “No, not today. It’s rest day!” Kai exclaimed as Sehun beamed and nodded.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!” you whispered and turned to face the window. Then the van droved off.
Moments later, the van finally stopped. As you open the van, you saw a familiar figure walking towards your house. *Baekhee?*
Just then, the main door of your house slidded open. Your mom went out. She quickly noticed your presence as she smiled. “Haewon-ah!” he called happily.
The figure then spun around and revealed the face of your bestfriend, Baekhee. A smile formed on her face. “Omo! Haewon-ah, you’re back!” she beamed as she run to you and give you a tight hug.
You hugged her back, “Yeah! I’ve finally back!” you whispered. Both of you pulled back, “You’ll never know how I and your mom miss you..” she said as you glance at you mom who was walking towards you. “Wait! How did you know I’m living here?” you suddenly snapped.
“I saw her the other day at the grocery and I told her our address.” your mom said. You nodded in understanding. “We miss you Haewon-ah..” Baekhee said once again.
You softened, “I also miss you Baekhee. You too, omma..” you admitted. Your mom give you a nod, “I’m happy to see my daughter again.” she said and give you a warm hug.
You hugged her back, “Nado.” you said. Baekhee watched the scene with a smile on her face.
As you broke the hug, EXO-K suddenly came out from the van. Baekhee’s eyes sparkled because of the sight in front of her, “EXO-K..” you heard her whispered.
You rolled your eyes, “Let’s go inside the house. I wanted to take some rest.” you said. “Wait. Introduce me first to them.” Baekhee said, whispering.
You firmly shook your head, “Ani, I don’t want to.” you said. Baekhee made a face, “Aigoo! I’ll just introduce myself then.”
Baekhee turned to EXO-K and smiled, “Annyeong haseyo! Baekhee-imnida. I’m Haewon’s bestfriend if you guys didn’t know. I’m also fan of EXO.” she beamed excitedly.
EXO-K give her a warm smile. “Hello! It’s nice to meet a fan like you.” Suho said. Baekhee blushed upon hearing Suho speak.
You shook your head because of your bestfriend’s reaction. Until then, you heard D.O. commented, “You’re completely different to her. You’re too lovely to be her bestfriend. You’re our fan but she’s a anti-fan.”
You narrowed your eyes to D.O. then rolled your eyes. “Yah! Don’t talk about Haewon like that..” Baekhyun defended you. “Yeah. Baek is right. Plus, she’s our personal assistant.” Chanyeol added as both Kai and Sehun nodded in unison.
For some reason, a smile suddenly formed on your face upon witnessing on how they defend you. You smirked at D.O. and said, “Sorry but you’re friends was on my side.” D.O. made a face.
“Cute.” Baekhee said and giggled as she saw D.O.’s expression. “Well.. but atleast you’re bestfriend like me.” he said.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever! Come on Baekhee, omma. Let’s go inside.” you said as you dragged them to go inside the house.
CHAPTER 38
The next day. You woke up early to get ready for your daily routine, jogging. You wears your usual outfit when you was jogging before leaving the house.
Since your mom is still sleeping, you don’t bother to wake her up and skipped the house silently. The atmosphere was cold yet the sky was still a little dark colored.
It was Saturday, means no classes. You’re free to do anything today. Spend more time outside the house. You did really miss Korea so you want to go around like you always do.
As you started to jogging, a figure suddenly appeared beside you. You automatically stopped and so did the figure. You then turned to your side and saw a smiling Baekhyun. “What are you doing?” you asked.
“Jogging.” he simply replied. You rolled your eyes, “I know. But are you trying to go jogging with me again?” you asked, annoyed. He simply nodded, “You promised me this so you must do it.” he snapped.
You raised an eyebrow, “Mwo? I don’t remember that I promised you anything. You’re just the only one who promised this to yourself. That was a big difference.” you said, rolling your eyes on him.
“Well.. There’s no difference to me.” he snapped with a smile. You rolled your eyes once again.
“And I’m going too.” a voice from your other side said. You turned to your other side and saw Chanyeol’s creepy face right in front of your face. You startled and jumped a little.
“Yah! Keep a distance!” you hissed as you pushed him away but Chanyeol still managed to smile. You raised an eyebrow, “What are you doing here?” you asked in annoyance.
“Jogging.” he copied Baekhyun answer. You facepalmed yourself. “Whatever!” you said and started on jogging. Baekhyun and Chanyeol glance at each other before following you on jogging.
You tried to ignore them and went to the opposite side but as you always try to escape, BaekYeol immediately followed you. Without a choice, you let them followed wherever you go.
Accidentally, you stepped on a rock that made you lost your balance and fell down. BaekYeol was busy following you and didn’t caught you in time.
Now, both of your knees were bleeding since you’re only wearing a shorts. BaekYeol stooped down at you, “Gwenchana?” they asked in unison.
Annoyed, you shot them a look and said. “I’m fine. Now, leave me alone.” you said trying to ease the pain the you were feeling. “No, you don’t look alright.” with that said, Baekhyun grabbed your arm and hoped your to his back. Your eyes widen in shock, “Yah! What are you doing?” you asked, still in shocked. You were trying to escape but you he was already carrying you om his back.
“You’re bleeding and we need to cure it before it get infected.” he said. “I’ll go buy a medicine and something to put on her bleeding knees.” Chanyeol said.
Baekhyun nodded, “Okay. Let’s meet on the usual place.” he said. Chanyeol nodded. With that, Chanyeol runaway to the near pharmacy as Baekhyun walked to the opposite direction, still carrying you.
“Yah! Put me down!” you yelled. “Shhh! Don’t be too loud or the people will notice me.” he whispered.
You stopped and look around. There are so many people around. You looked dowb to Baekhyun. He was walking with a head down, not wanting the others to recognize him.
Minutes later, Baekhyun stopped at one peaceful place. No people around, only the two of you. There’s one tree and a fresh river there.
Baekhyun walk towards the tree and gently put you down under the tree. He then sat next to you. “Is it hurting so much?” he asked in a worried tone, gazing at your bleeding knees.
You stared at him as he looked at your knees worriedly. You softened, “I’m okay. It’s only my knees that bleeding which is very far to heart. It’s not like I’m going to die.” you joked with a chuckled.
Baekhyun give you a serious look, “Far to heart but you’re still feeling hurt.” he snapped. You gulped then lowered your head, “I was just joking..” you whispered.
“You’re joke isn’t good though.” he said. You looked up at him. A worried expression was still on his face. You bit your bottom lip, “Okay. I know this isn’t the right time for my joke. Don’t worry too much. I’m really okay..” you assured him as you flashed him a smile.
Baekhyun finally smiled, “That’s good to hear.” then Chanyeol finally came. He was running while holding a small plastic bag on his hand.
“Where’s the medicine?” Baekhyun asked. “Here!” Chanyeol showed up the small plastic bag. He then pulled out the medicine, alcohol and cotton.
Both Chanyeol and Baekhyun started working on your bleeding knees. Baekhyun on the left while Chanyeol on the right.
“Ow!” you winced in pain. “Mian. Wait a little, it almost done.” Chanyeol said, assuring you with a smile. You nodded, believing him.
Moments later, they finally done. Your knees have already something on it to secure the scratch om your knees. With that, BaekYeol sat on your both sides.
“Gomawo..” you suddenly split out. BaekYeol gaze at you and smiled. “It’s nothing. It’s our fault anyways..” Chanyeol said.
“Okay.. If you say so.” you simply replied. Baekhyun and Chanyeol lolked at each other then chuckled by your brilliant answer.
“You’re still our anti-fan. Only EXO-K’s anti-fan because I think you’re a fan of EXO-M now..” Baekhyun said.
You paused on it but then said, “So? I think EXO-M is better than you guys.” you simply spit it out. “Woah! You’re really unbelievable!” Chanyeol commented.
“I want to ask you first, did you already watch us performing?” Baekhyun asked. “Of course! I’m your personal assistant, remember?” you pointed out.
“Yeah! She has a point.” Chanyeol said. “But still, you’re not amaze at us, EXO-K?” Baekhyun asked. You shook your head, “No, not at all.”
BaekYeol’s jaws dropped. You was too prank by your amswers. You even answer it in front of them. They shook their heads, amused by your answers then gaze to the river.
Silence filled the atmosphere.
“Where is this place by the way? And how come no one around here besides us?” you suddenly asked, broking the silence.
“EXO Planet.” BaekYeol replied in unison. “Mwo?!” you gasped, confused.
“We called this EXO Planet because this is like our planet. Only EXO know this place but now, you also did.” Baekhyun said. “We used to go here when we’re still in trainee days. After practice, we got to go here to take some rest. This place was peaceful, this place was like a different place, a different planet that no one could ever enter but EXO only but we allowed you to be here.” Chanyeol added.
You looked around, *True. This place was peaceful and different to the other place. I never knew EXO was really close to each other before they debuted. Not only they’re talented, but also friendly and caring to each other.* you thought.
“Do you want us to show you our talent?” Chanyeol asked. You snapped out your thoughts and looked at him, “Hmm?”
Instead of giving you a answer, BaekYeol stood up and went near the river then faced you. With a smile, Baekhyun started to sing until Chanyeol came up for his rap.
To be honest, this is the first you heard them sing LIVE. You couldn’t believe that Baekhyun has a beautiful and powerful voice and Chanyeol on the other hand was really good in rapping.
Without you knowing, you was already smiling because of their little performance. They even do a funny dance. They may looks like a derps but their performance was cute. BaekYeol together was too cute to see performing together.
*I guess I’m a BaekYeol fan now..* that was you said on your mind as your smile didn’t fade away upon seeing BaekYeol’s LIVE performance.
CHAPTER 39
“Are you sure you can walk to the dorm in that situation?” Chanyeol worriedly asked as the 3 of you decided to go back.
You nodded, “Yeah! I’m sure.” you said as you flashed him a smile, assuring him that you was really okay. You then started to walk but fail as you accidentally lost your balance.
Luckily, Baekhyun caught you in time. “I don’t think you’re okay.” he said. “Uh-oh..” you bit your lower lip, not knowing what to reply to him.
“I’ll carry you.” Baekhyun said. “I think I’m the ome who need to carry her this time. You already carry her on the way here. To be fair, I’ll carry her.” Chanyeol snapped.
Baekhyun turned to him, “You sure, Yeol?” he asked. Chanyeol turned to you and smiled. He then nodded, “I’m pretty sure.” he replied.
Baekhyun nodded, “Okay then. Get on Haewon-ah..” he said. You shook your head, “Ani.. I’m really okay.” you snapped. Chanyeol grabbed your arm and caused you to hoped on his back.
Before you could protest again, Chanyeol was already giving you a piggy back ride as Baekhyun walked beside Chanyeol and you.
“Be careful Yeol. People might recognize us.” Baekhyun whispered. Chanyeol nodded as he lowered his head while baekhyun did the same.
Moments later, the 3 of you finally reach the neigborhood that you were living at.
“Do you want to eat with us for lunch?” Chanyeol asked you. You shook your head, “Ani. Omma is waiting for me for sure.” you replied.
Chanyeol and Baekhyun glance at each other then nodded. “Okay. Let us bring you inside your house then.” Baekhyun said as Chanyeol made his way inside the house and Baekhyun followed.
As the 3 of you stepped inside the house, 4 boys greeted you. “Annyeong—” the rest of EXO-K stopped on their tracks when they saw the bandage on your knees.
“Omo! What happen?” “Did it hurt so much?” “Gwenchana?” “Did these two do something bad to you?” was all their reaction.
Chanyeol gently put you down on the couch. “What are you guys doing here?” you asked.
Just then, you heard your mom’s voice. “Lunch is ready~” she called as she popped out from the kitchen. “Omma..” you said.
“Oh! You’re finally back.” your mom said as she walked towards you. “Omo! What happen to your knees?” she asked worriedly as she noticed the bandage as she sat next to you.
You ignored her question and asked her, “What are they doing here?” you asked. “Oh! They want to eat lunch with us. Perfectly, you’re now here but what exactly happen to you?” she asked again.
You looked down to your knees and bit your lip, “Uh-oh..” you couldn’t find a right word to reply.
“Baekhyun and Chanyeol, what have you done to her?” Suho suddenly cursed. BaekYeol shook their heads. “You two, let’s talk.” Suho said.
But you stopped him and said, “It’s not their fault. I’m so clumsy that I accidentally stepped on a rock and lost my balance. That’s why so don’t blame them.” you snapped.
BaekYeol looked at you in surprise and so did the other members. “Woah! Did you heard her?” you heard Kai said. Sehun nodded, “Yeah! Noona defended BaekYeol.” he said.
Suho turned to BaekYeol, “What did you two did to her to make her defend you two?” he asked. “We did nothing.” Baekhyun replied as Chanyeol smiled.
“Yah! I already told you guys that I cause this by myself. No one need to blame here but just myself.” you defended again.
D.O. stared at you with wide eyes when he hear you defended BaekYeol for the second time. “Let’s just eat, shall we?” you snapped and turned to your mom, “Omma?”
Your mom nodded as she clapped her hands together, “Okay! Let’s et!” she beamed as you nodded and stood up. Your mom helped you walked to the dining area as the boys followed.
All of you found a place to sit as you sat next to your mom. BaekYeol together as always. Surprisingly, D.O. sat next to you.
You was busy watching BaekYeol childiness so you didn’t realized that D.O. was the person sitting next to you. You let out a giggled when you saw BaekYeol fooling around to each other.
“You like them now huh?” you suddenly heard a voice that made you startled. You turned to your side and saw D.O. with the same wide of eyes. This time, you finally get used to it so you controlled yourself to not laugh.
“Eh?” you gasped. “BarkYeol, you’re fan of them now, aren’t you?” he said. You bit your bottom lip and decided to remained slient.
D.O. cleared his throat, “Gwenchana?” he asked, changing the topic. You looked up, “Eh?” you suddenly gasped. “Your knees, is it still hurts?” he asked. You could feel the worry on his voice. You softened as you nodded, “Ne, I’m perfectly fine.”
D.O. smiled, “That’s good to hear.” he then face the food. He get some and placed it to your plate. “Eat this. I cook this.” he said. You frowned, “You cook? I thought omma did..” you said as you turned to your mom. “I just settled the table but D.O. voluntarily cook for us.” your mom said.
You nodded in understanding. “You should eat now noona. Kyungsoo hyung’s cooking is daebak!” Sehun said as Kai showed two thumbs up.
You turned back to D.O. He smiled, “Eat a lot.” he said while placing the food to your plate. “You’re nice today.” you mumbled.
D.O. stared at you, “Eh?” You shook your head and smiled, “I said thank you.” you said and took a bite onthe food.
“How is it?” D.O. asked, peeking at you. “Good right?” you heard Suho said. You swallowed the food until you broke into a bright smile, “Jjang!” you beamed.
Your mom also took a bite, “Woah! You’re good in cooking, kid.” she commented. D.O. rubbed the back of his neck, “Oh.. Gomawo..” he said.
“Aigoo! Kyungsoo is one shy boy!” BaekYeol teased, cooed. D.O. shot them a look as you chuckled but continued eating. Seeing you eating the food, with a smile, D.O. started his food also until all of you finished the food.
With that, EXO-K waved goodbye to you and your mom before leaving the house and went back to their dorm.
CHAPTER 40
It was Monday, means you need to attend school. As you was finally prepared, you hopped your bag on your bag and waved goodbye to your mom before leaving the house.
Just when you stepped out the house, you saw the back of your bestfriend facing you, waiting in front of your house. You brightened, “Baekhee-ah!” you called.
Baekhee spun around and smiled as she saw you. “Ready for school?” she asked. You beamed and nodded.
“You missed a lot of things in school now..” she said. “Yeah..” you said with a sigh.
“Oh wait! Why did you went here by the way?” you asked. Baekhee raised an eyebrow, “To fetch you of course! Can’t I walk to school with my bestfriend?”
“I know. What I mean is, this place is far in our school and you went here early to fetch me? What if you get late?” you asked, worried for your bestfriend. “You mean us.” she snapped.
You give her a worried look, “Look, we should go now before we get late.” you said with a sigh. Baekhee smiled, “I won’t mind if we get late.” she said normally.
You turned to her, “What?” you asked with a frown forming on your face. She smiled again, “Because I also won’t mind if I get detention with my bestfriend.” she replied.
You softened. Upon hearing those words coming from your bestfriend, you couldn’t help it but smiled. “Okay, Be ready for our detention then.” you said and started to walk. Baekhee beamed as she slidded her arm to yours.
With that, both of you headed to the Bus Stop and ride it on the way to the school.
---
“Ms. Shim and Ms. Yoon, detention!” your teacher said right after you and Baekhee entered the classroom.
Both you and Baekhee glance at each other then grinned. Facing the teacher again then said in unison, “Dae!”
Hours later, the school hour ended. It’s now time for the detention. In just an hour, both you and Baekhee already finished the detention.
“Are you going home now?” Baekhee suddenly asked. You turned to her and paused, “I still have to work.” you replied and sigh.
“I’m going to SM Building to check EXO-K’s schedules.” you added. Baekhee’s eyes rounded, “You’re going to see EXO-K?” she excitedly asked.
You simply nodded. Baekhee give you an amused smile. You frowned, “Yah, why are you smiling at me like that?”
Baekhee went closer to you, “Can I go with you too?” she asked, pekking at your face. You firmly shook your head. Baekhee’s face fell, “Aish! I just want to have their autograph and saw them today.” she whispered.
You examined her face and finally gave up. You let out a heaved sigh, “Araseo. Come on, I’m already late.” you said and walked away. Baekhee beamed then followed.
---
“Noona!” right after you passed by EXO-K’s practice room, Sehun’s voice already popped out. You ignored him and continued walking but your bestfriend stopped. You turned back at her, “Baekhee-ah, come on!” you called.
“Can I just stay here while you was talking with Mr. Lee Sooman?” she asked. You rolled your eyes, “No.” you then walked towards her and dragged her along with you.
Reaching Mr. Lee Sooman’s office, you carefully knocked it before you and your bestfriend entered the it.
“Oh Ms. Shim, you’re late today.” Sooman greeted you. You didn’t reply and just sat on the chair in front of him while your bestfriend give him a bow first before she sat on the chair acrossed yours.
“You also bring your bestfriend here.” Sooman said as he smiled at Baekhee. Baekhee smiled back, “Annyeong haseyo! Yoon Baekhee-imnida..” she introduced.
“I bring her along because I don’t want to go here alone.” you snapped. Sooman turned to you then pulled out something from his drawer. “Here’s EXO-K schedules. They will be on Music Bank tomorrow so clear your schedule for tomorrow.” he said as he handed you the paper with EXO-K schedules on it.
Your eyes widen, “Mwo? but I have to attend school tomorrow.” you said. “No worries. I already ask your teacher to give me some notes and it will arrived tomorrow. I’ll give it to you tomorrow morning.” he said.
Your face fell as Baekhee stared at Sooman in amusement.
“Go and check EXO-K now. They are practicing right now.” Sooman said. With a sigh, you stood up and left as your bestfriend followed.
---
“You’re so lucky with your job.” Baekhee said as both of you stepped out from the office. You shot her a look then rolled your eyes, “Take it if you want.” yous aid and walked away. Baekhee pouted but followed.
You straightly entered EXO-K’s practice room as you heard that word again, “Noona!” but this time, it’s Kai. You rolled your eyes and search for a place to sit. Baekhee followed you with smile on her face.
“Why are you late today?” Baekhyun asked. “I got detention.” you simply replied. “MWO?!” they gasped in unison.
You raised an eyebrow, “What make you guys surprise? I’m late so I got detention.” you simply said. “And it’s my fault.” Baekhee suddenly snapped.
EXO-K turned to her. “No one fault it is. Now, continued practicing guys.” you said.
“Wait.. Isn’t she’s your bestfriend?” Suho asked. You nodded, “Baekhee.” you said.
Suho smiled at waved at her, “Annyeong haseyo! Suho-imnida. Leader of EXO-K.” he introduced. “She knows. She’s a fan.” you snapped. Baekhee looked at you and pouted.
“Seems like you’re saying you’re not.” D.O. said. You made a paused on it but then cleared your throat, “Just go and practice now. We’ll get going.” you said and stood up but Baekhee held you back, “I still haven’t get their autographs.” she whispered.
“You’re leaving so fast? Can you two join us for dinner fisrt? We’re actually going out to eat. “Chanyeol suddenly snapped. You turned to him and was about to reply but Baekhee already did, “We’re joining.”
The next day you woke up, you found yourself sleeping with unfamiliar bed. Just then, you remembered that Tao let you sleep on his bed last night.
You slowly sat up and carefully get off the bed. Peeking on Taoa nd Xiumin, you found them silently sleeping together on Xiumin’s bed.
You stared at them for a while until a smile escape on your face, *How cute..* you thought, without even noticing that you were secretly smiling at the view.
You then skipped the room and stepped out. You found the two managers already preparing the breakfast.
“Oh! Ms. Shim, you already awake. We’re preparing the breakfast just now..” K’s manager said. “Oh yeah.. Sorry.. Please wait for us to finish this.” M’s manager added.
You shook your head while waving your hand, “Ani, it’s okay. I’m not that hungry, anyways. But..” you paused, “..if you won’t mind, please let me help you two with that?” you blurted out, peeking at them.
The two managers look at each other in surprised. Then they turned back to you and faced you. They nodded, “Sure..” they both beamed at the same time.
With a smile, you went up to them and helped them prepare the breakfast for the boys, you and the 2 managers.
---
“Hmmmm.. Smells delicious.” you suddenly heard Luhan said. His eyes were closed while walking towards the Kitchen.
Just then, Luhan open his eyes and saw you with managers preparing the food. “Woah! You know hoe to cook?” he asked, amused. You turned to the two managers and asked, “Do I look like I don’t know how to cook?”
The 2 mnagers paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. You made a face and shot Luhan a glare. “Luhan, look what you did. You already make her pissed early in the morning.” M’s manager said.
Luhan stared at you. You lowered your head and continued on what you was doing. Luhan rested his both elbows on the kitchen counter as his jaw rested on his palms. “Mian..” he sang.
You looked up and saw the sincerity on his angelic face. “Whatever!” you replied and continued on what you was doing again. Luhan pouted.
Suddenly, you heard other voices came. “Ahhhh~” the other EXO members came out with a yawn. You simply ignored them like what you did with Luhan.
“Omo! Haewon noona, knows how to cook?” Sehun gasped as he excitedly run next to Luhan. With that comment, the 2 managers bursting into laughter. Not only the two managers but also Luhan.
You bit your lower lip and stopped on what you was doing. “I don’t want to continue this anymore. I’ll just wait at the living room until the breakfast will finish.” you said without looking at any of them and stormed off to the living room.
The managers and Luhan stopped laughing by your sudden reaction. Sehun turned to Luhan, “Did I say something bad?” he innocently asked.
Luhan simply shook his head, “Ani, you didn’t but I did and so they are.” he said pointing at the two managers.
“You started it Luhan, remember?” M’s manager snapped as K’s manager nodded in agreement along with unreadable smile.
“Okay, I’ll go to her.” with that said, Luhan go after you. Totally confused, the other members except D.O. followed Luhan behind.
“I’ll help the hyungs about The food instead.” D.O. stated as the 2 managers nodded in agreement.
---
“Are you mad at me?” Luhan asked as he sat next to you. You shrugged and sat on the other couch as you started playing with you phone.
Luhan followed you, “Hey, are you mad?” he asked once again. “Stop annoying me and don’t go near me.” you said, eyes still glued at your phone.
Still confused, the other members sat on the long couch as the others on the floor staring at you and Luhan.
Luhan then snatched your phone away. You shot him a look, “Yah! Give my phone back to me!” you yelled. “No, not until you answer me.” he replied.
“What?” you asked in annoyance. “Are you mad at me?” he asked. “Yes. Now, give my phone back.” you replied withour any hesitation.
You could here the boys reacted with an ‘ohhhhhh’ sounds because of your unbelievable amazingly reply.
Luhan then handed it back to you, “I’m really sorry..” you heard him whispered as he lowered his head before walking away from you and sat next to Sehun.
You lifted your head up and watched him. The sadness was appearing on his face. You started to feel guilty on what you did. Being a cold-hearted girl, you shrugged it away and continued playing on your phone.
You could feel 10 pair of eyes were glued to you. You sloely look up and saw the other members staring at you. “What?” you asked, annoyed. “Look at Luhan, he was sad beause your mad at him.” Lay said. “So?” you raised an eyebrow.
EXO shook their heads in disappointment. Just then, the managers finally called all of you since the breakfast was ready.
All of you headed to the dining area and make yourselves comfortable on the seats. You was sitting in between the two managers while Luhan sitting across you.
As you all started the food, you noticed that Luhan was eating vey slow. Seems like he was still sad because of you being mad at him.
You let out a sigh and cleared your throat, “If you’re not going to eat a little bit fast, I’ll be forever mad at you.” you said and took a bite on your food.
Everyone stops eating except you. They stared at you with wide eyes, surprised on what you had said. Slowly, a smile formed on Luhan’s face. Brightened, Luhan started to eat a little bit fast with full of energy.
The others were still staring at you that made you stopped, “Aren’t you guys going to eat? Or you guys want me and Luhan to eat all these foods?” you simply snapped.
“Uh-oh..” they nodded and continued their food. You shrugged as you accidentally met eyes with Luhan. He give you a bright smile as you rolled your eyes and continued your food.
Luhan pouted as he also continued eating. With another glance at Luhan, you went back to your food and secretly smiling.
CHAPTER 32
As the breakfast finished, the managers make an important excuse. “We have something important to do. We’ll be gone the whole and right back at late night, I guess. Today, EXO’ free day but you guys can’t go outside though. It will be dangerous if you you guys do.” M’s manager said.
K’s manager nodded, “He’s right.” he turned to you, “Ms. Shim, please take of the boys while we’re gone, okay?” he asked. You simply nodded.
“Okay then. We’re going now.” with that said, the 2 managers left. As the managers disappeared, EXO turned to you and give you a smile.
You raised an eyebrow, “What now?” you asked in irritance. “Let’s have a movie marathon!” Chanyeol beamed. “Yeah!” the others cooed.
You rolled your eyes, “Go and watch. I’ll go to sleep again.” you said and was about to leave but someone stopped you.
Just then, you realized that you was carried by the tall man named Kris. “Yah! Put me down!” you yelled.
He ignored you and continued bringing you to the living room until he make you sat on the couch as he sat next to you. Suho then sat next on your other side. The other boys search for their seats and make themselves comfortable.
D.O. was the one who choose and set the movie that you all are going to watch. He chooses a horror film that was really a boring genre for you.
As the movie started, a yawn already escape from your mouth. The boys stared at you. “Horror films are boring.” you stated. “Change it Kyungsoo hyung.” Kai said.
“But I want to watch a horror film today.” D.O. snapped. “Then go watch it by yourself in our room.” Kai said. D.O. pouted, “Okay, I’ll change it.” he then changed it to a comedy one.
“I don’t like comedy either.” you said. They all stared at you in surprised. “Then what genre do you want?” Xiumin asked.
“None. I don’t want to watch a movie today, actually.” you simply replied. “For some reason, I don’t want to watch a movie today too.” Suho agreed to you.
“I think I don’t want to watch anymore since Haewon don’t want to.” Baekhyun said as he gave you a smile. You rolled your eyes, “Since some of you didn’t want to watch a movie, can I go to sleep now?” you asked.
They all shook their heads quickly, “No!” they echoed. “Aish! What do you guys want now?” you asked in annoyance.
They all paused until Chen exclaimed, “Why don’t we play truth or dare then?” he suggested.
You stared at him in disbelief, “Andwae—” before you could completely protest, they all agreed with Chen’s suggestion. “Sounds good.” Tao said.
You stood up, “Just play without me.” you stated and started to walked away. “If you don’t play with us, we’ll going outside so that our managers will scold you.” Kris snapped that made you stopped.
You froze in horror. You spun around, “Don’t you guys dare—” you words was cut off by Kris again, “Be ready guys, we’re going out.” he anounced.
The others nodded and stood up, completely agreeing on Kris idea. “Wait! I’ll go play with you guys now.” you blurted out.
After hearing what you said, they immediately went back to their seats and motioned you to come over. With a sigh, you did.
All of you encircled and sat on the floor with a bottle at the center. “Let’s use the bottle once.” Luhan started then continued, “Whoever the bottle got stop, he or she will be the first who ask truth or dare then the next one will be the person on his or her right side. Is it clear?” he asked.
All the boys nodded. Luhan raised an eyebrow to you. With another sigh, you boringly nodded.
“Okay, let’s start.” Luhan then spin the bottle. The motion of the bottle started to get slower. Suddenly, the bottle stops at Suho who is sitting on your right side. Means you’re the last person will take the game.
“So, I think I’m the first one then.” Suho said. Luhan nodded, “Yeah and Haewon will be the last.” he said.
“Truth or dare?” Chen suddenly asked Suho. “Truth.” Suho replied in just quick seconds. “What did you feel when some of your fans saying that you and Super Junior’s Choi Siwon looks a like?”
Suho paused for a moment before answering, “Honestly, I don’t think we look a like but many fans notice that. My feelings? Well, I’m fluttered that one of the members of Super Junior have a bit the same looks as me.”
“Go to the next. Lay, truth or dare?” Lay paused for a while, “I’ll take the dare.” he finally said.
“Good choice. Now, do your dance like what you did on your childhood days, like the video you showed in the show ‘Happy Camp’.” Kai said. “What? That was embarrassing if I do it here.” Lay said, glancing at your way.
“But you choose a dare.” Luhan snapped. Lay heaved a sigh, “Araseo.” he then slowly stood up and started to dance.
As the time Lay started to dance, you couldn’t help but laugh and so did the other members. After the dance, Lay sat back down and covered his red face, “That was embarrassing..” he mumbled.
Luhan elbowed him, “It’s okay. Look! You make Haewon laugh.” he said nodded on your way.
Lay lifted his head and saw you laughing. As much as you wanted to stop, you can’t. You were still remembering lay dancing like a kid.
EXO smiled seeing your laugh. Finally, you calmed down yourself and cleared your throat, “Go continue.” you motioned them.
“Uh-oh.. Yeah.. Who’s next now?” Luhan asked. “It’s now your turn, hyung” Sehun snapped. “Oh! It’s already my turn?” Luhan asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Yeah, yours.” Lay said. “So, truth or dare?” “Truth.” Luhan replied without any hesitation.
“Is HunHan real?” Luhan stopped on that question. He glance at Sehun who is sitting next to him, he smiled and turned to faced all of you again before answering, “Maybe..”
“Yah! What kind of answer is that! You must give us a true answer.” Lay snapped. “But that’s the truth, right Sehunnie?” Sehun smiled and nodded.
“Now, you’re turn Sehunnie.” Luhan snapped. Sehun nodded, “Okay. I’ll choose the truth also.” he said.
“Okay, okay. Since Luhan didn’t give us a good answer. Now, give us. What Luhan mean by his answer ‘maybe’?” Sehun shrugged, “Umm., maybe no or maybe yes..” he replied. Luhan chuckled, “What a nice answer, Sehunnie.” Luhan commented as he patted his shoulder.
“Yah! Make your answer clear.” Kai snapped. “I already answer the question. Now, it’st your turn Kai.” Sehun snapped.
“Truth or dare?” Luhan asked. “Dare.” Kai replied. “Kiss one of the member of EXO on the cheek.”
“Mwo?!” Kai gasped. “You choose the dare so deal with it.” Baekhyun snapped. Kai sighed, “Araseo.” with that said, Kai faced D.O. who is sitting next to him and immediately kissed him on the cheek.
*Eeewww* you thought as your expression changed into unreadable one. “Yah! Why me?” D.O. groaned as he wiped his cheek. Kai just stucked his tounge our at his hyung.
“Your turn, hyung.” Kai snapped. “Okay, I also take the dare.” D.O. said. “Sing a song with a high notes.” “So easy.” D.O. said as he started to sing.
You stared at him as he started his song. Your mouth formed an O shape because of his beautiful voice. Just then, D.O. finished the song as your mouth still forming an O shape.
“You amused someone here.” Suho said. You closed your mouth and cleared your throat, “Go on and continue.” you snapped.
“Baekhyun, truth or dare?” “Dare.” he replied. “Show us your famous licking lips while looking at Haewon.”
You gulped and stared at Baekhyun. He stared back and said, “Okay, okay.” then he did.
You swallowed hard and looked away, *Why so hot here? Oh My God!*
Baekhyun smirked, “You’re turn now, Yeol.” he said. “I’ll take the truth.” Chanyeol said.
“Who is your favorite member of EXO if you were a fan?” Chanyeol paused and think before saying, “Baekhyun because he is talented. I’m not saying that you guys are not talented. It just that—” he was cut off.
“Okay, okay. We already understand. You’re close to him and we understand that.” Suho snapped. Chanyeol pouted. Baekhyun patted his back and give him a smile.
“Stop lovey dovey here. Now, Chen’s turn.” Kris said. “Truth or dare?” “Dare.” Chen replied.
“Go sing a song for Haewon.” Chen cleared his throat and started the song called ‘Baby, don’t cry’. As Chen started his song, your heart started to melt because of how he delivered the song well from the beginning until the song ended.
EXO stared at you, studying your expression. Satisfied, the game continued. “Next, Baozi!” Luhan beamed. Xiumin shot him a look then rolled his eyes. “I’ll take the dare.” he stated.
“Show us your baozi aegyo.” Luhan said. Xiumin rolled his eyes again but did as told.
*Cute.* you thought, not letting yourself to let out a giggle.
“Tao, you’re next. Truth or dare?” “Dare” “Show us some martial arts and also your aegyo that every girl want to see.” Tao nodded and stood up. First he did the matial arts that he always shows to everyone then the next one he did is his aegyo.
*Super cute.* you squealed in your mind.
“Now, you’re turn Kris hyung.” Tao said. Kris nodded, “Dare.” he said.
“Please speak in English, Cantonese, Mandarin and Korean.” Kris cleared his throat as he did.
*Woah! What a smart guy.* you thought, amazed.
“Last but not the least, Haewon. Truth or dare?” they cooed. You suddenly gulped, realizing that it’s now your turn. You paused and said, “Truth.”
EXO paused on it before asking,
“Why did you hate us?”
CHAPTER 33
“Why did you hate us?”
That question made you stunned on your tracks. EXO’s eyes were glued to you with curiousity. You started to feel uneasy by that time.
Moment later, you cleared your throat and finally open your mouth to speak. “To be honest, I don’t hate you guys..” you started that made EXO brightened. But then you continued, “But I didn’t say that I like you guys either.”
They give you a confused look. “What do you mean by that?” D.O. asked. “What I mean is, you guys are just a normal people to me. Nothing special.” you stated.
“According to your statement, seems like you do hate us.” Xiumin commented in a sad tone. “Honestly, I hate you guys.” you trailed off.
EXO stared at you with wide eyes. Then you continued, “In our first meeting and I could feel that it doesn’t the same anymore. Day by day, that hatred started to vanish.” you said.
“So, you like us now?” Luhan asked, excited. You shook your head, “No. I don’t like you guys but I don’t hate you guys either.” you said, repeating what you had said earlier.
“Then—” Baekhyun was about to throw you another question but you cut him off, “You guys already asking me lots if questions. Be fair. So, I think this game was already finish hmm?” You stood up, “I’m going back to sleep now.” you said and walked away without turning back. You headed to your room and take a nap.
The boys left there, dumbfounded. Though you gave them an answer, it wasn’t clear enough for them to understand. You actually left them hanging with your confusing answer.
---
Days had passed. It’s been a week already since EXO-K came to China. Now, their visit at China ended.
“Everyone, EXO-K will going back to Korea tomorrow and continued their career there since that place is there target actually.” M’s manager announced.
EXO nodded in understanding as you sat there, waiting for the conversation to end. “Another thing,” K’s manager snapped.
All the pair of eyes focus on him and then he continued, “Ms. Shim will going back with us.” he blurted out that made EXO especially EXO-M, eyes widen.
“Me? Going back to Korea?” you excitedly asked with a smile on your face. Both K and M manager nodded.
“Mr. Lee Sooman told us to bring you back to Korea. He told us that you must already miss your mom there and your bestfriend.” K’s manager said as you nodded, beaming.
EXO-M gaze at you with sadness. You could feel the atmosphere became different. Your eyes found the expressions of EXO-M members. You felt sad because of their reaction.
“So now, go to bed and sleep. We still have to wake up early in the morning because of the flight.” K’s manager said.
“EXO-M, you guys also. You’ll be having an interview on the morning show.” M’s manager said. With that, the two managers left.
“Come on everyone. Let’s go to bed now.” Suho said as the other EXO-K’s member nodded.
Still, EXO-M’s expression didn’t changed. You glance at them, sadly. You bit your bottom lip, *I hope I made the right decision.*
You took a deep breath before blurting out, “You guys can sleep with me in one room tonight if you guys want.”
They stopped on their tracks and stared at you in surprise. “We can sleep with you tonight?” Baekhyun asked, super excited.
You shook your head, “Not you guys,” you pointed at EXO-K then to EXO-M, “Only the members of EXO-M allow to sleep in the same room with me tonight since I’m going to leave China tomorrow.” you snapped.
Baekhyun pouted along with the other EXO-K’s members. While EXO-M was happily beaming at you. They almost cried in happiness because of what you had offer to them.
“So, are you guys want to sleep with me or not?” you asked, peeking at EXO-M. They all nodded like a puppy.
You shrugged and stood up, “Okay then. Let’s go to sleep.” you said and was about to walked towards Xiumin’s and Tao’s room but Kris snapped you.
“Let’s use our room since that’s the biggest among all the rooms here.” Kris said that made you stopped halfway. “Sure.” you replied and continued walking to the way to Kris’ and Chen’s room.
With that, EXO-M followed you with full of happiness. EXO-K on the other hand, sadly went to their room. Baekhyun and Chanyeol together. Suho and Sehun together. Then Kai and D.O. together.
CHAPTER 34
As you and EXO-M stepped inside the room, the boys got excited. You frowned when you saw that there are only 2 beds inside the room. The boys immediately noticed your expression.
“Let’s sleep on the floor all together, shall we?” Tao suggested. The boys paused and slowly turned to you, peeking out your reaction.
“I think that’s a good idea.” you finally said as you walked forward. The boys stared at you with wide eyes, as if they heard your statement wrong.
You turned around and faced them. You raised an eyebrow, “Are you guys planning to stand there the whole night or something?” you blurted out.
They all shook their heads in unison and walked towards you. “Let’s move the beds aside first before we settle our place on the floor.” Kris suggested.
You nodded, “Okay, that will be good.” you said with a smile. The boys jaws dropped upon seeing you smiling. Your smile fade away and changed it with a frown. “Close all your mouths before the flies went inside of that.” you snapped.
They all closed their mouths and swallowed hard. *Weird.* that was all on their minds because of your sudden changed of action.
The boys help each other on moving the beds to the corner. After that, all of you settled the blankets on the floor.
“You know what? You’re different just now..” Chen suddenly split out. You paused on your tracks and turned to him. Chen gulped as the boys stared at the two of you in horror.
“So, you want me to ignore you guys tonight?” you snapped. Chen quickly shook his head, “Ani. That’s not what I mean. It’s just that, you’re nice just now.” he replied.
“Now, you’re saying I’m not nice?” you raised an eyebrow. Chen shook his head once again, “Ani. Yes, you’re nice but not to us.” he said.
You made paused on it and glued your eyes to the blankets that were flatted on the floor.
Luhan let out a yawn that broke the silence, “We should sleep now.” he said. You looked up and saw the boys nodded. “How about our arrangement?” Xiumin suddenly asked.
The boys looked at each other then turned to you, “On what place do you want to sleep?” Kris asked. You stared at them for a moment until Chen spoke, “Center will be a better place for you so we can have a talk with you a little longer.” he suggested.
You stared at Chen for a moment before giving him a smile, “Araseo! I’ll take the center spot.” you said. The boys stared at you in surprised. “Are you sure?” Lay asked.
Without any hesitation, you nodded. “Ne, I’m pretty sure. Also,” you trailed off. EXO-M focused on you, waiting for you to continue. “I want to sleep in between Lay and Kris.” you finished your sentence.
Both Lay and Kris stared at you in surprise yet happy. You could see the other boys pouted in disappointment.
“Why do you want to sleep next to them?” Luhan asked with a pout. You shrugged, “I just want to.” you replied cooly.
Chen sighed, “It’s her decision, we must respect it.” he stated. Kris and Lay nodded in unison, grinning with happiness.
The boys rolled their eyes to their leader and lead dancer. With a shook of head, you carefully laid on the blankets and let yourself comfortable on your spot.
As the boys saw you already lying, they also did. Lay on your left side as Kris on your right side. Tao next to Kris and Chen next to Tao. Luhan next to Lay and Xiumin next to Luhan.
All of you stared at the ceiling with the atmosphere filled of silence. “Can I ask you guys something?” you suddenly split out. The boys glance at your direction as you keep staring at the ceiling.
EXO-M looked at each other before nodding to each other. “Go on.” Lay said as the boys went back to stare at the ceiling.
“Why are you guys so nice to me?” you asked. They all paused on it then Kris started, “To be honest, we don’t know either. Maybe because ourselves voluntarily wanted to be nice towards you.” he replied.
“You know, you guys should stop being nice to me..” you said. “Why so?” Luhan asked. “Because I don’t deserves to receive a threat like that. I can’t reply you guys the same threat like how you guys doing to me.” you replied.
“But we’re not asking for you to be nice to us.” Tao said. “And if you didn’t notice, you’re already nice to us. Like Chen said earlier, you’re nice to us right now. You’re now talking to us than usual.” Xiumin snapped.
You paused before hering his statement. But then, Chen spoke. “And I’m already happy to see a nice Haewon, even only in one night, tonight.”
“Not only us, EXO-M but also EXO-K will be happy if you threat them nicely even for one day.” Lay added.
You let out a sigh, “It’s getting late. We should sleep now. Umm.. Can you guys sing a song for me before I sleep?” you asked.
“Sure..” with that, they started singing their song ‘Into Your World’. Both Kris and Tao sing along, second voicing.
A smile appeared on your face upon hearing their beaitiful voices LIVE. Every fangirl would squeal because they’re singing LIVE near you.
Moments later, the song ended. “At first, I thought you guys are bad performers but I guess I’m wrong..” you whispered but loud enough for them to hear.
They froze upon hearing your statement. With a slow motion, they turned to you but you was already visited the dreamland.
“Jalja~” they sang and with a smile, EXO-M closed their eyes then drifted off to sleep.
CHAPTER 35
Morning came. You woke next morning, lying on a bed. You frowned, *How did I end up here?* you thought.
“Oh! You’re finally awake.” you suddenly heard a voice said. You turned to the voice’s direction and saw Luhan standing there with his wet hair.
“Where’s the others? And how did I end up here?” you asked. “About that, Kris carried you to his bed because we noticed that you’re not comefortable on your position that’s why..” he explained.
“And the others?” you asked once again. “They’re getting ready for the morning show. I just finished taking a bath so I went here to check you up. Now, you’re awake. You should prepare yourself.” he muttered.
You raised an eyebrow, “Wae?” you asked, completely confused. “Don’t you remember? You’re flight with EXO-K on coming back to Korea is scheduled today.” Luhan reminded.
“Right! I almost forgot.” you then jumped off the bed but lost your balance. Luckily, Luhan was there and caught you in time.
“Be careful.” Luhan said as he help you to stand up straight. “Oh.. Gomawo.” with thay said, stormed off the room and headed to the bathroom.
Luhan watched you walked away, *That’s the first time, first time hearing her thanking to anyone of us..* he thought but smiled.
---
As you finished taking a bath, you started packing up your things on going back to Korea, your hometown.
“Ready now Ms. Shim?” K’s manager asked. You beamed and nodded. Just then, EXO-K came out with a smile on their faces.
You rolled your eyes upon seeing their happy faces. For some reason, you don’t want to go back to Korea yet.
Just then, EXO-M came out with their manager. EXO-M wasn’t happy at all. They did really enjoyed being with you here in China.
You gaze at them before walking towards them. “Yah! Lightened up! The fans will be sad if they saw you guys in the morning show with that looks on your faces.” you said.
EXO-M looked at you in surprise and so did EXO-K. The managers glance at each other and smiled playfully upon seeing the different Haewon.
With that, EXO-M smiled brightly at you. “We’ll going to see each other again, right?” Lay asked, peeking at you. You nodded, “Of course! I’m EXO’s personal assisant, remember?” you replied.
“Yeah. She’s right. She’s our personal assistant so she will always stick with us but for now, she need to stay with EXO-K.” Kris said. You smiled at him in understanding.
“So.. I think this is a goodbye for now.” you trailed off. “Can we hug you?” Tao slowly asked. You paused and remained silent for a while.
“Oh.. It’s okay if you don’t want to..” Tao said with a pout. You looked up and smiled, “You guys are allowed to hug me.” you blurted out.
EXO-M’s eyes widen but Tao is wider. With a jump, Tao immediately hugged you. You startled by his sudden action but chuckled at the same time.
“We will miss you..” Tao said with a sad tone. You patted his back, “We will still see each other soon..” you said. Tao broke the hug, “See you soon then..” he said with a smile. You smiled back and nodded.
The next person who hug you is Chen. “When the time we see each other again, I’ll sing you another song.” he whispered between the hug. You broke the hug and stared at him, “Really?” you asked.
Chen smiled and nodded, “I promise.” he said raising his right hand, showing the sign of his promise. “Okay then. I’ll wait for that.” you said.
Then Lay hugged you next. “We didn’t talk much unlike the other members so I hope we can have a long conversation for our next meeting..” he said. You nodded, “Okay, we will..” ypu replied.
With a smile, Lay pulled back as Kris hugged you next. “You’re so tall.” you commented that made the other members even EXO-K burst into laughter.
“And you’re so short.” Kris snapped. You rolled your eyes but smiled. “We will miss you,” he paused, “a lot.. We will miss your bad attitude towards us.” he said. You released yourself from his hug and give him a glare, “So you still want me to be bad towards you huh? Okay then, just wait until we meet again.” you said and smirked.
“Mwo—” Kris didn’t finshed his sentence because Xiumin already hugging you. “I’m different with Kris. I like the new Haewon more. So please don’t change towards me hmm?” Xiumin whispered.
You smiled and nodded, “Dae.. Baozi..” you replied. Xiumin boke the hug, “Baozi?” he frowned. “I keep hearing it from Luhan so I thought that’s your nickname..” you explained.
Xiumin shot Luhan a look. Luhan shrugged, “I didn’t told her to call you by that name.” he defended an walked towards to give you a hug.
“We will miss you. I hope you’ll be okay there when we’re busy here.” Luhan said. You nodded, “Yeah.. I hope so too. I hope you guys will do great here in China too.” you replied.
“Ne, we will do our very best. And,” Luhan lean closer to your ear, “Keep calling Xiumin a Baozi because it’s more fit with him. Baozi, little bun.” he whispered then pulled back.
You chuckled and give him a nod. You glance at Xiumin and giggled. Xiumij give Luhan a look, “What did you say to her?” Luhan shrugged, “Nothing.”
“Okay, okay.. Stop that. You guys will going to be late if you don’t leave now. The morning show will start soon.” M’s manager reminded EXO-M.
“Right! let’s go now!” Luhan said as Xiumin rolled his eyes on him. Luhan stucked his tongue out to him as Xiumin made a face. You chuckled by their childish act and shook your head.
“We need to go now also.” K’s manager said. EXO-K and you nodded. With that, all of you stepped out the door.
CHAPTER 36
You waved a last goodbye to EXO-M before entering the van with EXO-K and K’s manager. With that, the van that EXO-M using droved off.
Next soon, the van that you were using also droved off. You were smiling that time, remembering the childish act of EXO-M.
Suddenly, someone poke your shoulder. You turned to your side and saw Baekhyun. Your smile fell, “What?” you asked, annoyed. “Why are you nice to them but not to us?” he pointed out.
You made a pause on it. You then shrugged, “Quit asking. I don’t want to talk for now.” you replied then glnace at the window.
Baekhyun pouted then went back to Chanyeol. “What did she say?” Chanyeol asked. Baekhyun sadly shook his head, “Nothing, as usual.”
EXO-K face fell and decided to not bother you.
Moments later, the van finally stopped. All of you including the manager stepped out the car. With that, all of you headed to the plane and entered it.
You was the last person who enter the plane among all you 8. You look around, searching for a better place. There are only two vacant seats there. Unluckily, the one is in between D.O. and Suho and the other one is in between Chanyeol and Baekhyun.
You facepalmed yourself upon seeing those vacant seats. That time, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, Suho and D.O. were brightly smiling at you, hoping that you could seat next to them.
With a sigh, you dragged your foot forward until you reach the center of the seats. You glance left to right, thinking of the right spot to sit on.
Just then, Chanyeol reach your wrist. You turned to him and raised an eyebrow, “You can sit next to us.” Chanyeol said gesturing the seat in between him and Baekhyun. You saw Baekhyun smiled and nodded. The manager was sitting to Baekhyun with his eyes closed.
You shrugged then give them a smile. BaekYeol excitedly beamed when they saw you smile, knowing that you would sit in between them but no.
You twisted your wrist, escaping from Chanyeol’s grip. “Sorry but I’d rather choose to sit in between Suho and D.O. than you guys.” with that, you turned to Suho’s and D.O.’s direction then sat in between them.
BaekYeol pouted upon wintessing your walking away from them.
“Good choice!” Suho said as D.O. nodded on agreement. You rolled your eyes, “Make sure that I made the right choice.” you whispered and closed your eyes. Just then, you heard voices giggling. You turned to your right and saw both Kai and Sehun giggling with happiness.
“Well.. I guess this is a wrong place.” you said with a sigh after seeing Kai sitting next to D.O. and Sehun next to Kai.
“As if you can take to sit between those derps.” D.O. snapped, nodding at Baekhyun’s and Chanyeol’s direction.
With another sigh, you closed your eyes. “Sleep will be the one that can help me..” Suho chuckled and so did D.O. Soon, you drifted off to sleep.
---
Slowly, your eyes open. You looked around and saw EXO-K except D.O. sleeping. You turned to D.O. and realized that he was listening to his ipod with an earphone on his ears.
D.O.’s back and head was comfortably resting to his seat. He was like Chen when it comes to music. They both love hearing music but the different is, Chen was listening to music with eyes closed but for D.O., he’s eyes were open. Correction: WIDE OPEN just like his name, D.O
You keep examining his action and study his eyes also, studying if it is going to blink or not. Unbelievably, it’s not.
“Quit staring.” D.O. suddenly spoke. You froze, right on your spot. You then cleared your thoat and shrugged, “I’m not.” you said, looking away.
D.O. turned to you as he removed one the earphone on his left ear, “You are.” he said. You looked back at him and was about to say something but you suddenly burst onto laughter upon seeing his wide eyes just in front of you.
D.O. frowned, “Yah! What are you laughing at?” he asked in confusion. You tried to speak but your laugh stopping you to do so. All you just did was pointing at him a you continued laughing that cause the other wake up.
“What’s happening?” Suho asked while rubbing his eyes. Kai give D.O. a confused look but all D.O. was shook hi head since he have no idea of your laugh also.
BaekYeol which is sitting across your seats, took a peek on you. They glance at each other in confusion. “What’s that?” Chanyeol asked. Baekhyun shook his head, “Molla..”
D.O. then held your shoulder, “Yah! Stop laughing. People will be mistaken you as a crazy girl.” he said. Finally, you managed to stop on laughing and calm down.
D.O. raised an eyebrow, “What exactly happen to you? You just burst into laughter without a reason.” he said. “Who says my laughter has no reason?” you snapped.
He raised an eyebrow, “So, what is the reason then?” he asked. “Your eyes.” you said, loud enough for all the members of EXO-K to hear.
With that statement, EXO-K burst into laughter upon hearing your straightforward answer. D.O. shot his co-members a look that made their stopped laughing.
Then he turned to you, “You one crazy girl.” he said. “Psh! I’m not crazy. It’s just that, your eyes were big. Haha!” you said, letting out a short laugh that made the other chuckled before going back to sleep.
Embarrassed, D.O rested back on his seat and put back his earphone to his left ear then closed his eyes, not wanting you to make fun with him anymore.
With another chuckle, you glance at him then grabbed the earphone from his left ear. D.O.’s eye popped open as he turned to you, “Yah! What was that?!” he hissed.
But your eyes were closed as your head was resting on your seat. The earphone was already stuck on your right ear. “Don’t stare at me or I’ll burst into laughter again.” you snapped, still eyes closed.
“Give me first my earphone.” he said. “I want to listen to music before I sleep. You have one earphone so let me have this one for a moment. You can freely remove it when I’m completely fall asleep.” you said with eyes closed.
Hearing your reason, D.O. let you shared with his earphone. He then changed his earphone from his right ear to his left so it will be compatible to each other.
Soon enough, you drifted off to asleep. D.O. doesn’t want to bother you anymore so he let the earphone remained on your ear and soon, D.O. followed you to dreamland.
CHAPTER 37
You were busy dreaming about SHINee when you felt someone shook you, completely interrupting your beautiful dream.
Your eyes popped open and saw Suho’s face in front of you. “Wae?” you asked in annoyance. “We’re already here~” he said. You glance at the window and realized that Suho was right. Just then, you felt a thing dropped down from your ear. You realized that it was D.O.’s earphone and the song that was currently playing was SHINee’s Sherlock.
Now, you found out why you have a dream with SHINee. Suho then shook D.O., who is sitting next to you. As D.O. open his eyes, the sight of you greeted him.
You raised an eyebrow. D.O. rolled his eyes and completely removed the earphones on his left ear. He turned off his ipod and keep it to his bag.
With that, the others woke up also. All of you then exited the plane and headed to the ready-van that was waiting in front of Seoul Airport.
There are lots of fan waiting outside. The manager and the other staffs that was working at SMEnt make their way to hide you, not wanting the fans to see you. The reason is, you’re too young to work with an idol with quite same age as you becase fans will hate that.
Luckily, you reach the van safely. As all the members of EXO-K finally inside the van, it droved off towards the SM Building.
---
“How was the trip?” Sooman greeted you a question. You raised an eyebrow, “What did you expect?” you asked back.
Sooman chuckled by your unbelievable answer. “You still the Shim Haewon I meet the first time.” he commented. “Yeah and I will forever be the Shim Haewon you know.” you snapped.
“So, okay! No work today. You can go back to your house now. Your mom was probably waiting for you.” Sooman said. You nodded and stood up then grabbed your bag and walked away, without saying any words to him.
“How about us?” Suho asked Sooman. “No schedule today so you can go back to the dorm and take some rest.” Sooman replied. EXO-K nodded and bowed to Sooman before leaving.
---
“Get in Agashi.” the driver said as he open the van door for you. You didn’t hesitate to refuse the offer so you just entered the van without saying a word.
Just then, EXO-K followed inside in just quick time. You frowned, “Aren’t you guys busy today?” you asked.
They shook their heads. “No, not today. It’s rest day!” Kai exclaimed as Sehun beamed and nodded.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!” you whispered and turned to face the window. Then the van droved off.
Moments later, the van finally stopped. As you open the van, you saw a familiar figure walking towards your house. *Baekhee?*
Just then, the main door of your house slidded open. Your mom went out. She quickly noticed your presence as she smiled. “Haewon-ah!” he called happily.
The figure then spun around and revealed the face of your bestfriend, Baekhee. A smile formed on her face. “Omo! Haewon-ah, you’re back!” she beamed as she run to you and give you a tight hug.
You hugged her back, “Yeah! I’ve finally back!” you whispered. Both of you pulled back, “You’ll never know how I and your mom miss you..” she said as you glance at you mom who was walking towards you. “Wait! How did you know I’m living here?” you suddenly snapped.
“I saw her the other day at the grocery and I told her our address.” your mom said. You nodded in understanding. “We miss you Haewon-ah..” Baekhee said once again.
You softened, “I also miss you Baekhee. You too, omma..” you admitted. Your mom give you a nod, “I’m happy to see my daughter again.” she said and give you a warm hug.
You hugged her back, “Nado.” you said. Baekhee watched the scene with a smile on her face.
As you broke the hug, EXO-K suddenly came out from the van. Baekhee’s eyes sparkled because of the sight in front of her, “EXO-K..” you heard her whispered.
You rolled your eyes, “Let’s go inside the house. I wanted to take some rest.” you said. “Wait. Introduce me first to them.” Baekhee said, whispering.
You firmly shook your head, “Ani, I don’t want to.” you said. Baekhee made a face, “Aigoo! I’ll just introduce myself then.”
Baekhee turned to EXO-K and smiled, “Annyeong haseyo! Baekhee-imnida. I’m Haewon’s bestfriend if you guys didn’t know. I’m also fan of EXO.” she beamed excitedly.
EXO-K give her a warm smile. “Hello! It’s nice to meet a fan like you.” Suho said. Baekhee blushed upon hearing Suho speak.
You shook your head because of your bestfriend’s reaction. Until then, you heard D.O. commented, “You’re completely different to her. You’re too lovely to be her bestfriend. You’re our fan but she’s a anti-fan.”
You narrowed your eyes to D.O. then rolled your eyes. “Yah! Don’t talk about Haewon like that..” Baekhyun defended you. “Yeah. Baek is right. Plus, she’s our personal assistant.” Chanyeol added as both Kai and Sehun nodded in unison.
For some reason, a smile suddenly formed on your face upon witnessing on how they defend you. You smirked at D.O. and said, “Sorry but you’re friends was on my side.” D.O. made a face.
“Cute.” Baekhee said and giggled as she saw D.O.’s expression. “Well.. but atleast you’re bestfriend like me.” he said.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever! Come on Baekhee, omma. Let’s go inside.” you said as you dragged them to go inside the house.
CHAPTER 38
The next day. You woke up early to get ready for your daily routine, jogging. You wears your usual outfit when you was jogging before leaving the house.
Since your mom is still sleeping, you don’t bother to wake her up and skipped the house silently. The atmosphere was cold yet the sky was still a little dark colored.
It was Saturday, means no classes. You’re free to do anything today. Spend more time outside the house. You did really miss Korea so you want to go around like you always do.
As you started to jogging, a figure suddenly appeared beside you. You automatically stopped and so did the figure. You then turned to your side and saw a smiling Baekhyun. “What are you doing?” you asked.
“Jogging.” he simply replied. You rolled your eyes, “I know. But are you trying to go jogging with me again?” you asked, annoyed. He simply nodded, “You promised me this so you must do it.” he snapped.
You raised an eyebrow, “Mwo? I don’t remember that I promised you anything. You’re just the only one who promised this to yourself. That was a big difference.” you said, rolling your eyes on him.
“Well.. There’s no difference to me.” he snapped with a smile. You rolled your eyes once again.
“And I’m going too.” a voice from your other side said. You turned to your other side and saw Chanyeol’s creepy face right in front of your face. You startled and jumped a little.
“Yah! Keep a distance!” you hissed as you pushed him away but Chanyeol still managed to smile. You raised an eyebrow, “What are you doing here?” you asked in annoyance.
“Jogging.” he copied Baekhyun answer. You facepalmed yourself. “Whatever!” you said and started on jogging. Baekhyun and Chanyeol glance at each other before following you on jogging.
You tried to ignore them and went to the opposite side but as you always try to escape, BaekYeol immediately followed you. Without a choice, you let them followed wherever you go.
Accidentally, you stepped on a rock that made you lost your balance and fell down. BaekYeol was busy following you and didn’t caught you in time.
Now, both of your knees were bleeding since you’re only wearing a shorts. BaekYeol stooped down at you, “Gwenchana?” they asked in unison.
Annoyed, you shot them a look and said. “I’m fine. Now, leave me alone.” you said trying to ease the pain the you were feeling. “No, you don’t look alright.” with that said, Baekhyun grabbed your arm and hoped your to his back. Your eyes widen in shock, “Yah! What are you doing?” you asked, still in shocked. You were trying to escape but you he was already carrying you om his back.
“You’re bleeding and we need to cure it before it get infected.” he said. “I’ll go buy a medicine and something to put on her bleeding knees.” Chanyeol said.
Baekhyun nodded, “Okay. Let’s meet on the usual place.” he said. Chanyeol nodded. With that, Chanyeol runaway to the near pharmacy as Baekhyun walked to the opposite direction, still carrying you.
“Yah! Put me down!” you yelled. “Shhh! Don’t be too loud or the people will notice me.” he whispered.
You stopped and look around. There are so many people around. You looked dowb to Baekhyun. He was walking with a head down, not wanting the others to recognize him.
Minutes later, Baekhyun stopped at one peaceful place. No people around, only the two of you. There’s one tree and a fresh river there.
Baekhyun walk towards the tree and gently put you down under the tree. He then sat next to you. “Is it hurting so much?” he asked in a worried tone, gazing at your bleeding knees.
You stared at him as he looked at your knees worriedly. You softened, “I’m okay. It’s only my knees that bleeding which is very far to heart. It’s not like I’m going to die.” you joked with a chuckled.
Baekhyun give you a serious look, “Far to heart but you’re still feeling hurt.” he snapped. You gulped then lowered your head, “I was just joking..” you whispered.
“You’re joke isn’t good though.” he said. You looked up at him. A worried expression was still on his face. You bit your bottom lip, “Okay. I know this isn’t the right time for my joke. Don’t worry too much. I’m really okay..” you assured him as you flashed him a smile.
Baekhyun finally smiled, “That’s good to hear.” then Chanyeol finally came. He was running while holding a small plastic bag on his hand.
“Where’s the medicine?” Baekhyun asked. “Here!” Chanyeol showed up the small plastic bag. He then pulled out the medicine, alcohol and cotton.
Both Chanyeol and Baekhyun started working on your bleeding knees. Baekhyun on the left while Chanyeol on the right.
“Ow!” you winced in pain. “Mian. Wait a little, it almost done.” Chanyeol said, assuring you with a smile. You nodded, believing him.
Moments later, they finally done. Your knees have already something on it to secure the scratch om your knees. With that, BaekYeol sat on your both sides.
“Gomawo..” you suddenly split out. BaekYeol gaze at you and smiled. “It’s nothing. It’s our fault anyways..” Chanyeol said.
“Okay.. If you say so.” you simply replied. Baekhyun and Chanyeol lolked at each other then chuckled by your brilliant answer.
“You’re still our anti-fan. Only EXO-K’s anti-fan because I think you’re a fan of EXO-M now..” Baekhyun said.
You paused on it but then said, “So? I think EXO-M is better than you guys.” you simply spit it out. “Woah! You’re really unbelievable!” Chanyeol commented.
“I want to ask you first, did you already watch us performing?” Baekhyun asked. “Of course! I’m your personal assistant, remember?” you pointed out.
“Yeah! She has a point.” Chanyeol said. “But still, you’re not amaze at us, EXO-K?” Baekhyun asked. You shook your head, “No, not at all.”
BaekYeol’s jaws dropped. You was too prank by your amswers. You even answer it in front of them. They shook their heads, amused by your answers then gaze to the river.
Silence filled the atmosphere.
“Where is this place by the way? And how come no one around here besides us?” you suddenly asked, broking the silence.
“EXO Planet.” BaekYeol replied in unison. “Mwo?!” you gasped, confused.
“We called this EXO Planet because this is like our planet. Only EXO know this place but now, you also did.” Baekhyun said. “We used to go here when we’re still in trainee days. After practice, we got to go here to take some rest. This place was peaceful, this place was like a different place, a different planet that no one could ever enter but EXO only but we allowed you to be here.” Chanyeol added.
You looked around, *True. This place was peaceful and different to the other place. I never knew EXO was really close to each other before they debuted. Not only they’re talented, but also friendly and caring to each other.* you thought.
“Do you want us to show you our talent?” Chanyeol asked. You snapped out your thoughts and looked at him, “Hmm?”
Instead of giving you a answer, BaekYeol stood up and went near the river then faced you. With a smile, Baekhyun started to sing until Chanyeol came up for his rap.
To be honest, this is the first you heard them sing LIVE. You couldn’t believe that Baekhyun has a beautiful and powerful voice and Chanyeol on the other hand was really good in rapping.
Without you knowing, you was already smiling because of their little performance. They even do a funny dance. They may looks like a derps but their performance was cute. BaekYeol together was too cute to see performing together.
*I guess I’m a BaekYeol fan now..* that was you said on your mind as your smile didn’t fade away upon seeing BaekYeol’s LIVE performance.
CHAPTER 39
“Are you sure you can walk to the dorm in that situation?” Chanyeol worriedly asked as the 3 of you decided to go back.
You nodded, “Yeah! I’m sure.” you said as you flashed him a smile, assuring him that you was really okay. You then started to walk but fail as you accidentally lost your balance.
Luckily, Baekhyun caught you in time. “I don’t think you’re okay.” he said. “Uh-oh..” you bit your lower lip, not knowing what to reply to him.
“I’ll carry you.” Baekhyun said. “I think I’m the ome who need to carry her this time. You already carry her on the way here. To be fair, I’ll carry her.” Chanyeol snapped.
Baekhyun turned to him, “You sure, Yeol?” he asked. Chanyeol turned to you and smiled. He then nodded, “I’m pretty sure.” he replied.
Baekhyun nodded, “Okay then. Get on Haewon-ah..” he said. You shook your head, “Ani.. I’m really okay.” you snapped. Chanyeol grabbed your arm and caused you to hoped on his back.
Before you could protest again, Chanyeol was already giving you a piggy back ride as Baekhyun walked beside Chanyeol and you.
“Be careful Yeol. People might recognize us.” Baekhyun whispered. Chanyeol nodded as he lowered his head while baekhyun did the same.
Moments later, the 3 of you finally reach the neigborhood that you were living at.
“Do you want to eat with us for lunch?” Chanyeol asked you. You shook your head, “Ani. Omma is waiting for me for sure.” you replied.
Chanyeol and Baekhyun glance at each other then nodded. “Okay. Let us bring you inside your house then.” Baekhyun said as Chanyeol made his way inside the house and Baekhyun followed.
As the 3 of you stepped inside the house, 4 boys greeted you. “Annyeong—” the rest of EXO-K stopped on their tracks when they saw the bandage on your knees.
“Omo! What happen?” “Did it hurt so much?” “Gwenchana?” “Did these two do something bad to you?” was all their reaction.
Chanyeol gently put you down on the couch. “What are you guys doing here?” you asked.
Just then, you heard your mom’s voice. “Lunch is ready~” she called as she popped out from the kitchen. “Omma..” you said.
“Oh! You’re finally back.” your mom said as she walked towards you. “Omo! What happen to your knees?” she asked worriedly as she noticed the bandage as she sat next to you.
You ignored her question and asked her, “What are they doing here?” you asked. “Oh! They want to eat lunch with us. Perfectly, you’re now here but what exactly happen to you?” she asked again.
You looked down to your knees and bit your lip, “Uh-oh..” you couldn’t find a right word to reply.
“Baekhyun and Chanyeol, what have you done to her?” Suho suddenly cursed. BaekYeol shook their heads. “You two, let’s talk.” Suho said.
But you stopped him and said, “It’s not their fault. I’m so clumsy that I accidentally stepped on a rock and lost my balance. That’s why so don’t blame them.” you snapped.
BaekYeol looked at you in surprise and so did the other members. “Woah! Did you heard her?” you heard Kai said. Sehun nodded, “Yeah! Noona defended BaekYeol.” he said.
Suho turned to BaekYeol, “What did you two did to her to make her defend you two?” he asked. “We did nothing.” Baekhyun replied as Chanyeol smiled.
“Yah! I already told you guys that I cause this by myself. No one need to blame here but just myself.” you defended again.
D.O. stared at you with wide eyes when he hear you defended BaekYeol for the second time. “Let’s just eat, shall we?” you snapped and turned to your mom, “Omma?”
Your mom nodded as she clapped her hands together, “Okay! Let’s et!” she beamed as you nodded and stood up. Your mom helped you walked to the dining area as the boys followed.
All of you found a place to sit as you sat next to your mom. BaekYeol together as always. Surprisingly, D.O. sat next to you.
You was busy watching BaekYeol childiness so you didn’t realized that D.O. was the person sitting next to you. You let out a giggled when you saw BaekYeol fooling around to each other.
“You like them now huh?” you suddenly heard a voice that made you startled. You turned to your side and saw D.O. with the same wide of eyes. This time, you finally get used to it so you controlled yourself to not laugh.
“Eh?” you gasped. “BarkYeol, you’re fan of them now, aren’t you?” he said. You bit your bottom lip and decided to remained slient.
D.O. cleared his throat, “Gwenchana?” he asked, changing the topic. You looked up, “Eh?” you suddenly gasped. “Your knees, is it still hurts?” he asked. You could feel the worry on his voice. You softened as you nodded, “Ne, I’m perfectly fine.”
D.O. smiled, “That’s good to hear.” he then face the food. He get some and placed it to your plate. “Eat this. I cook this.” he said. You frowned, “You cook? I thought omma did..” you said as you turned to your mom. “I just settled the table but D.O. voluntarily cook for us.” your mom said.
You nodded in understanding. “You should eat now noona. Kyungsoo hyung’s cooking is daebak!” Sehun said as Kai showed two thumbs up.
You turned back to D.O. He smiled, “Eat a lot.” he said while placing the food to your plate. “You’re nice today.” you mumbled.
D.O. stared at you, “Eh?” You shook your head and smiled, “I said thank you.” you said and took a bite onthe food.
“How is it?” D.O. asked, peeking at you. “Good right?” you heard Suho said. You swallowed the food until you broke into a bright smile, “Jjang!” you beamed.
Your mom also took a bite, “Woah! You’re good in cooking, kid.” she commented. D.O. rubbed the back of his neck, “Oh.. Gomawo..” he said.
“Aigoo! Kyungsoo is one shy boy!” BaekYeol teased, cooed. D.O. shot them a look as you chuckled but continued eating. Seeing you eating the food, with a smile, D.O. started his food also until all of you finished the food.
With that, EXO-K waved goodbye to you and your mom before leaving the house and went back to their dorm.
CHAPTER 40
It was Monday, means you need to attend school. As you was finally prepared, you hopped your bag on your bag and waved goodbye to your mom before leaving the house.
Just when you stepped out the house, you saw the back of your bestfriend facing you, waiting in front of your house. You brightened, “Baekhee-ah!” you called.
Baekhee spun around and smiled as she saw you. “Ready for school?” she asked. You beamed and nodded.
“You missed a lot of things in school now..” she said. “Yeah..” you said with a sigh.
“Oh wait! Why did you went here by the way?” you asked. Baekhee raised an eyebrow, “To fetch you of course! Can’t I walk to school with my bestfriend?”
“I know. What I mean is, this place is far in our school and you went here early to fetch me? What if you get late?” you asked, worried for your bestfriend. “You mean us.” she snapped.
You give her a worried look, “Look, we should go now before we get late.” you said with a sigh. Baekhee smiled, “I won’t mind if we get late.” she said normally.
You turned to her, “What?” you asked with a frown forming on your face. She smiled again, “Because I also won’t mind if I get detention with my bestfriend.” she replied.
You softened. Upon hearing those words coming from your bestfriend, you couldn’t help it but smiled. “Okay, Be ready for our detention then.” you said and started to walk. Baekhee beamed as she slidded her arm to yours.
With that, both of you headed to the Bus Stop and ride it on the way to the school.
---
“Ms. Shim and Ms. Yoon, detention!” your teacher said right after you and Baekhee entered the classroom.
Both you and Baekhee glance at each other then grinned. Facing the teacher again then said in unison, “Dae!”
Hours later, the school hour ended. It’s now time for the detention. In just an hour, both you and Baekhee already finished the detention.
“Are you going home now?” Baekhee suddenly asked. You turned to her and paused, “I still have to work.” you replied and sigh.
“I’m going to SM Building to check EXO-K’s schedules.” you added. Baekhee’s eyes rounded, “You’re going to see EXO-K?” she excitedly asked.
You simply nodded. Baekhee give you an amused smile. You frowned, “Yah, why are you smiling at me like that?”
Baekhee went closer to you, “Can I go with you too?” she asked, pekking at your face. You firmly shook your head. Baekhee’s face fell, “Aish! I just want to have their autograph and saw them today.” she whispered.
You examined her face and finally gave up. You let out a heaved sigh, “Araseo. Come on, I’m already late.” you said and walked away. Baekhee beamed then followed.
---
“Noona!” right after you passed by EXO-K’s practice room, Sehun’s voice already popped out. You ignored him and continued walking but your bestfriend stopped. You turned back at her, “Baekhee-ah, come on!” you called.
“Can I just stay here while you was talking with Mr. Lee Sooman?” she asked. You rolled your eyes, “No.” you then walked towards her and dragged her along with you.
Reaching Mr. Lee Sooman’s office, you carefully knocked it before you and your bestfriend entered the it.
“Oh Ms. Shim, you’re late today.” Sooman greeted you. You didn’t reply and just sat on the chair in front of him while your bestfriend give him a bow first before she sat on the chair acrossed yours.
“You also bring your bestfriend here.” Sooman said as he smiled at Baekhee. Baekhee smiled back, “Annyeong haseyo! Yoon Baekhee-imnida..” she introduced.
“I bring her along because I don’t want to go here alone.” you snapped. Sooman turned to you then pulled out something from his drawer. “Here’s EXO-K schedules. They will be on Music Bank tomorrow so clear your schedule for tomorrow.” he said as he handed you the paper with EXO-K schedules on it.
Your eyes widen, “Mwo? but I have to attend school tomorrow.” you said. “No worries. I already ask your teacher to give me some notes and it will arrived tomorrow. I’ll give it to you tomorrow morning.” he said.
Your face fell as Baekhee stared at Sooman in amusement.
“Go and check EXO-K now. They are practicing right now.” Sooman said. With a sigh, you stood up and left as your bestfriend followed.
---
“You’re so lucky with your job.” Baekhee said as both of you stepped out from the office. You shot her a look then rolled your eyes, “Take it if you want.” yous aid and walked away. Baekhee pouted but followed.
You straightly entered EXO-K’s practice room as you heard that word again, “Noona!” but this time, it’s Kai. You rolled your eyes and search for a place to sit. Baekhee followed you with smile on her face.
“Why are you late today?” Baekhyun asked. “I got detention.” you simply replied. “MWO?!” they gasped in unison.
You raised an eyebrow, “What make you guys surprise? I’m late so I got detention.” you simply said. “And it’s my fault.” Baekhee suddenly snapped.
EXO-K turned to her. “No one fault it is. Now, continued practicing guys.” you said.
“Wait.. Isn’t she’s your bestfriend?” Suho asked. You nodded, “Baekhee.” you said.
Suho smiled at waved at her, “Annyeong haseyo! Suho-imnida. Leader of EXO-K.” he introduced. “She knows. She’s a fan.” you snapped. Baekhee looked at you and pouted.
“Seems like you’re saying you’re not.” D.O. said. You made a paused on it but then cleared your throat, “Just go and practice now. We’ll get going.” you said and stood up but Baekhee held you back, “I still haven’t get their autographs.” she whispered.
“You’re leaving so fast? Can you two join us for dinner fisrt? We’re actually going out to eat. “Chanyeol suddenly snapped. You turned to him and was about to reply but Baekhee already did, “We’re joining.”
