It's must've been the afternoon when my body finally decided it was time to wake up, I rolled on my side and noticed that I now had a lot of space in my bed, I panicked thinking that I had either kicked Luhan off the bed or that he had fallen but he wasn't anywhere near the bed. I thought he must've woken up already I mean it's late in the afternoon. I got my ass up and decided to go to my computer and open up any emails that the company had left us for this weeks schedule. It's been a two years since we've debuted and since then our schedule has been packed to the fullest, there were times where I just wish we were those nobodies and we just had our very loyal and close knit fans from when we first started, but I also knew the importance of having a huge following and going to these interviews and doing these shows was huge exposure for the group. EXO was that group that people either loved to bits or they were hated for simply being from a huge company and that we were served our success. That was not the case at all. Here we were two years after debuting and we are still struggling to buy good food for the members that we just have to depend on the food from the corner stores. So though I complain about the schedules being packed I can't help but feel a sense of relief when I see that we are being scheduled for appearances. Today we were shooting for a magazine and that would take half of the day because there were 11 of us one of the members had already left and that had left a huge impact within the group, but me being the oldest and knowing that I had to take care of the members would try my hardest to tell them that we were okay and that we would make it out of the slump, it was going to take time but we will be able to overcome this. When the member left there was tension between us all. There were fights about members thinking other members were going to follow in the footsteps of the one who left to pursue their solo career. So one night I had all of them sit and just talk it out because just arguing was not going to fix the problem, we had to talk about this like grown adults if we ever wanted to continue as a group and become a successful one, at that. After we all had sat down we talked for hours and hours about all of our concerns, it was a given that we would have ours , and it was sad that they all felt that they couldn't bring it up because they knew that the rest of the members were having a hard time. I had to remind them that we were a family and that we need to be there for each other. They were thankful when I sat them down and told them this . It was something they needed to get off their chest and the burden and suffocating atmosphere left the dorm after that talk . And to be honest I thanked god because I was getting headaches from the tension that was brewing in the dorm and I had to calm it before it exploded.
Back to the schedule that the company had sent we were scheduled to have a photo shoot for a magazine and thankfully that didn't start until 6PM I had woken up at 1PM so I still had time to spare but I just wanted to get some things done before we had to head out . Seeing as I was still in school logged into my school account and saw that the teacher had scheduled an essay , I always read before the teacher gives out their lectures so I already had a very good understanding of what the essay was about , so instead of wasting time doing nothing I just got started on that . I was in a writing slump because I had been staring at my screen for a good hour or two before I even started typing , I was only half way finished before Suho came in and told me that they were ready to leave in a few so I had to hurry up and finish what I was doing.
I left my essay as is and knew I was going to finish it when I came back so I just finished getting ready and headed out to the living room where most of the members were already so we can head out together.
