October 2012
Eric Chou stood nervously with sunbaes Taemin, Henry, and Hyoyeon. Even though he's been with SM for a while, he still couldn't shake the starstruck feeling. His costume was an all white pants and shiny silver jacket.
Even though he was fully acquainted with Shinee he is a fan of their songs and standing next to Henry and Taemin was too.
"Yo are you okay? What's the matter with you?" Jongin raised an eyebrow.
"What's the matter Xingzhe? You seem to be nervous" Luhan whispered.
"Of course I'm nervous we're collaborating with the seniors! We're just little rookies compared to them." Eric whispered.
"What are you whispered about Eric?" Henry questioned.
"Mianhe, to be honest I'm not used to being around you seniors. It feels strange to have rookies like us performing with you professionals." Eric admitted.
"That's makes sense, I had the same feeling when I debuted into SHINee. It was quite intimidating to work with Super Junior. Don't feel discouraged, think of it as a way to gain experience. I seen how you do on stage. I think you'll do fine." Henry replied in both Korean and English.
"I'm sorry Henry, Eunhyuk and I had some things to take of back home." Nam arrived with a nervous laughter.
"Hyung!" Jongin greeted Eunhyuk.
"This dude overslept on today's rehearsals." Eunhyuk pointed out.
"I figured he would do something like that. After all these years and you pull the same shit oppa. I don't even know why Seohyun and Sooyoung like you so much " Hyoyeon shrugged.
"Cut me some slack Hyoyeon-ah, touring is exhausting. I had to travel to Japan this last week! Sexy Free and Single isn't an easy song to dance to." Nam messaged his sore legs.
"You're losing your edge hyung. We need to get back on shape again." Taemin suggested.
"I'm already ahead on you with that. That's why I've been spending time with Eunhyuk at the gym. That's enough about me are all of you ready?" Nam asked them.
"Who put you in charge?" Hyoyeon question with sarcasm.
"We did slowpoke so quit ya whining. As seniors you will do as we say." Eunhyuk smacked her in the head with a rolled up paper.
"Bullshit!!" Hyoyeon said outraged.
"Whether you like or not Hyoyeon-ah, Sooman put us in charge of this. I apologize for the rudeness and bluntness of my hyung." Nam forced Eunhyuk to bow apologetically.
And so they began their dance sequence. Eunhyuk and Eric led the dancing in the first half. Taemin immediately followed and show off his footwork. Luhan and Eric provided vocals and Kai and Eunhyuk did the rapping. It came to a bridge where Hyoyeon dresses in black became the main center leading the remaining dance.
It was a dubstep song from when EXO performed for their official unveil only that the song has additional lyrics. Once the performance ended, Nam and the others congratulated him.
