Scarlett's POV
Today is the day before I love all the boxes into my new dorm with my members. My manager is very excited that I'll be living with my members 24/7. I honestly think that he's just happy that he doesn't have to tell them what chores they have to do. I get to choose who gets to do what once I'm there. That's one of the responsible so have to take on as a leader apparently. I don't know why though.
"Scarlett-ah!" I hear Lay yell. I look up at him and say, "You don't have to yell if I'm right in front of you." "Oh, well we're going to do the farewell gift soon." He says quietly. "Alright, where are all the members then?" I ask. "They should be home any min-" Lau is interrupted by 9 boys trying to get in the door at the same time.
"Get your stupid elbow out of my face!" Chanyeol yells. "Well, maybe if you weren't so big we wouldn't have this problem!" Chen yells. "Ugh, you guys are so annoying." Sehun says. "And babos." D.O adds. Next thing I know, they all just fall in front of the door. I look up and I see that Taemin is there at the doorway.
"It seemed like you guys needed that extra push. Well, I gotta go dongsaengs! Bye EXO! Bye Scarlett-ah!" He yells before running off. He's really cute, probably the cutest maknae in the music industry. Please don't tell Suho that I said that!
~~Skip to the gifts~~
The gift exchange has started and I can already tell that I'm going to get very emotional. All the members are gathered around in the living room and are holding the gifts that they're going to give me.
"Let's decide the game with rock, paper, scissors for the order in which we give our gifts to Scarlett-ah!" Baekhyun suggests. "Araso, lets do it!" Chanyeol says.
~~Skip the game~~
The game is over and the order for the gifts goes Xiumin, Kai, Lay, Suho, Chen, Tao, Chanyeol, D.O, Sehun and Baekhyun.
"Let's go Xiumin hyung!" Chanyeol shouts. Xiumin starts to stand up. he hands me a nice bag. I open the bag and pull the gift out. It's a black and red plaid scarf. "Gomayo Xiumin oppa, I love it!" I say to him and he starts to smile.
"Next!" Xiumin shouts. Kai hands the gift to me since he's sitting next to me. It's a brown box. I open it and I see a lot of snacks in there along with a magazine full of coupons. "You're going to snack and eat a lot. It's going to mainly be from stress. This is to help you save money on food and anything else you may need." Kai tells me. "Gomayo oppa. This is very thoughtful." I say to him.
"Who's next?" Kai asks. "Me!" Lay shouts while he stands up. It's a bag but it's not that big and it's not really that heavy. I open the bag and put my hand in it. I pull the gift out and I see that it's a traditional Chinese recipe book. I look at Lay and smile. He smiles back.
"Let's go lover boy!" Chen teases. Suho stands up and blushes from Chen's comment. He hands me a box and I open it. It's a collage book and it contains pictures of things that we've done either alone as a couple or with all of EXO. It even had personal messages from all the members, including Kris and Luhan. "They sent it." He says quietly and I nod. "Gomayo, oppa." I say, trying to hold back the tears.
"It's my turn." Chen says with a smile. He walks over to me and quickly hands me his gift before walking back to his seat. I open it and I see that it's a CD soundtrack of a drama. "I did an OST for that drama. You should listen to the whole thing. I think mine is the best to be honest." He says, getting a little sassy. "Gomayo, oppa. I'll be sure to listen to it." I say to him.
"I'm next!" Tao says excitedly. "I hope you like it noona!" Tao says to me and I smile. He hands me the gift and I quickly unwrap it. It's a collection of Hello Kitty merchandise. There's a keychain, sticker, socks, scarf, now and a doll. "Gomayo, this is really cute." Insay to him. "I mean, he's a bit girl Scarlett, what do you expect?" Baekhyun says teasingly. "Hyung!~" Tao whines and we laugh at how cute he's acting. He's very feminine but I don't think he realized it yet.
"Is it my turn? Oh, I guess it is." Chanyeol says to himself. He walks to where I'm sitting and hands me my gift before walking back to his seat. I open it and it's a hat that says 'EXO'. I smile at the gift. I've always wanted a hat like this.
"Your turn, Kyungsoo!" Suho says out loud. "I know." He says quietly and hands me my gift. I open the bag and I see a whole bunch of Japanese snacks. "I've noticed that you really like eating Japanese snacks and candy so I thought that I would buy you a variety of them. I hope you like all of them." He explains and I smile at how observant he is. "Gomayo Kyungsoo, I'll be sure to eat these deliciously." I tell him.
"C'mon Sehun!" Kai says and Sehun glares at him. Sehun hands me a recipe book of bubble tea. He really loves drinking those. I've had one but I can't remember the flavor that I had. Hopefully this book has it...
"Are we seriously on the last gift already?" Lay asks. "Yeah, I guess we are." Xiumin says, realizing that Baekhyun is the last person to give me his gift. "Hopefully, it's a good one!" Chanyeol says in anticipation.
Baekhyun walks towards me and hands me something like a booklet. It's bonded by a beautiful string. I open it and I can't help but to cry.
It's a handwritten letter from Kris and Luhan.
I guess this was planned because all of the members form and circle and every single one of them hugs me, comforting me.
Our dearest Scarlett, I hope that this letter reaches you in time. I see that you've debuted as an idol. I saw your music video. You look pretty, like always. I really hope that you're very successful as an idol and are happy with your decision.
Please be kind to our leader, Suho. He's probably taking this really hard. Luhan and I...we don't want to add stress but we also don't want to be treated poorly. We love the members, including you, and we want all of you to remember that.
We'll see each other soon...I promise.
Sincerely,
Kris XO
Scarlett-ah, you're such a beautiful young woman now, I'm amazed at how much you've changed since the last time I saw you. Your music video is amazing and I love the song. I wish that I was there to see your debut stage with the other members...
Ah, the members...how are they doing? Are they taking care of themselves? Please look after them well! Sehun is such a delicate dongsaeng...make site that he doesn't cry.
I miss you and the other members of EXO a lot. I really hope that we get to meet again soon.
I hope you don't regret your decision of debuting as an idol. Don't make the same mistake I did. Stick to your gut and listen to your heart. Those two things will lead you to all the right places.
I hope your relationship with Suho is going well. I think you'll be a good leader for 5ES. Suho and Leeteuk will probably help you out a lot. Talk to Taeyeon if you need to, Victoria is a bit shy.
Stay out of trouble and I hope we get to talk again soon. Bye!~
Sincerely,
Luhan the Deer XX
