Fell In Love With Kai

Chapter 14: A Day by the Sea

Under the bright sun, Nora's idea of a beach picnic and shopping excited everyone. As the group gathered, Kai, fueled by anticipation, quickly changed into casual and compatible clothes. His transformation from the morning's pajama-clad superhero to a well-dressed companion left everyone, including the members of EXO, in pleasant surprise.

Nora: "Looking good, Kai! Now, you're ready for some beach fun."

Kai: (grinning) "I've learned my lesson. No more morning surprises."

With Kai behind the wheel, they headed to the shopping district, blending in with the crowd, and enjoyed a carefree shopping spree. Nora was delighted that Kai opted for casual attire, making the outing feel even more relaxed and enjoyable.

The group strolled through the bustling streets, stopping for some tteokbokki and grabbing ice cream without drawing too much attention. The carefree atmosphere allowed them to enjoy the day like any other group of friends.

Arriving at the beach, the sound of crashing waves and the warmth of the sun created the perfect setting for their picnic. They spread out the blankets, enjoyed the snacks, and savored the ice cream with laughter filling the air.

Nora: "Isn't this just perfect, Kai? A day at the beach with friends, good food, and the sound of the waves."

Kai: (smiling) "Absolutely, Nora. It's like a mini escape from the hectic routine. Thanks for suggesting this."

Nora leaned back, enjoying the sea breeze, and looked out at the horizon.

Nora: "You know, sometimes it's nice to forget about schedules and just be in the moment."

Kai: "Couldn't agree more. We all need a break from the chaos every now and then."

They shared a comfortable silence, watching the seagulls overhead and the waves rhythmically rolling in. The carefree atmosphere allowed for a genuine connection to blossom.

Nora: "Kai, I've been thinking about something."

Kai: "What's on your mind?"

Nora: "Well, life in the spotlight can be challenging, right? I mean, today's fun, but there are moments when it gets overwhelming."

Kai: (nodding) "True. The constant scrutiny and lack of privacy can be tough."

Nora: "I can't imagine what it's like for you and the others. But, you know, we're here to support each other through the highs and lows."

Kai looked at Nora with gratitude, appreciating her understanding and empathy.

Kai: "You're right, Nora. Having friends who get it makes a world of difference. And today, with you and everyone here, it feels like a little escape from that world."

Nora: (smiling) "Exactly. We'll navigate through it together, one beach day at a time."

As the afternoon unfolded, the playful spirit took over. Nora, with her infectious enthusiasm, suggested a spontaneous game of splashing in the water. Soon, they found themselves playfully chasing each other along the shoreline. Laughter echoed as they dodged the waves, forgetting the world around them.

Unbeknownst to the group, a paparazzi, seizing the opportunity, discreetly captured a photo of the carefree moment.

In the upcoming chapter, this seemingly innocent day would unfold into a new challenge for SM Entertainment and the individuals involved. The unexpected photo would set in motion a series of events that would test friendships, resilience, and the ability to navigate the unpredictable world of fame.
