When I Leave | EXO

(19) Ready to go

"Do you got your shit?" Hajae yelled to me from her position by the door. I nodded.

I picked up my most important box, the one containing my valuable stuff, and followed her to the hallway. Mr. Park and Mr. Lee had helped Miyoung and Sorae with their stuff, so they were gonna do the same for us. As for the other boys in our apartment, they had to carry their things, even squishy little Kyungsoo.

I still was shocked by the fact that Mr. Lee allowed me to share a room with him. HyoSoo seemed to be shipped more than HyoLay, and yet he'd rather me be with D.O than Lay.

I wondered how often we'd be able to visit the boys. Kai was with us, but Xiumin was in the other apartment with Sehun. Hajae wouldn't be able to cope without contacting Luhan everyday, whether Kai lived with us or not. I figured that she liked Luhan and only Luhan, which left Kai in the dust, but it was unknown to me which member I shipped her with.

Miyoung and Kai, perhaps that would be the new thing. With them sharing a room, maybe that would settle things...

No, of course it wouldn't.

Two weeks ago, we, all of SM, switched buildings. Those two weeks led us to the date of September 29, a month and a week since we left our old home. We knew Exo almost a month and a week. That was not enough time to form a real relationship between Luhan and Hajae. Sure, they had kissed many times which I had walked in on, but he never asked her on a date, nor did SM allow it anyway.

Lay and I still talked daily, but through text. I caught him warning D.O to stay away from me, though D.O wouldn't even think about doing anything to me. D.O and I had two separate beds in our room, the same as the other three rooms. We each also had our own closet, dresser, and nightstand. Believe me, D.O wouldn't bug me.

Through the two weeks, nothing interesting happened, set aside the fact that Chen nearly caught our coffee table on fire. We learned to avoid letting him light his diamond candle. He bought a diamond candle, which is a candle with a little piece of jewelry hidden inside, simply 'because he could'.

He balled up a piece of paper and lit it on fire, then threw it into the candle to light the wax. But he missed the candle and it landed on a newspaper, which went up in flames. Sorae quickly grabbed a bottle of water and dumped it on it before it spread.

Meanwhile, our debut date was October 3. Our first teaser went up yesterday, and the second came out just this morning. That meant our third would be tomorrow, and our first song would be out on the next day. It was called 'Expectation'. It was pretty mature and sexy, but Mr. Park said we would be into more mature music.

We had finished recording, and I was pretty pumped for the video to come out. Hajae already had her normal hair and hair color. Mine was black, still reaching my back. Sorae had brown-red hair, while Miyoung, who basically always went by Young now, had shoulder-length black hair. All in all, we were made over.

In current time, Hajae was packing her purse to go visit Luhan. I didn't know why she was bringing so much to go next door, but I didn't say anything. Who knew, perhaps it was Luhan's birthday and I was never informed. But I highly doubted that. She'd be making signs and playing music on full volume if it was his birthday.

"I'll be back in an hour or so. Just talking to Luhan for a little while." She reminded us, shutting the door behind her. I turned back to my food, chowing down on ramen.

D.O came sauntering out of our room. "Chen, stop throwing your socks at me."

Chen appeared behind the shorter boy, a dirty sock in his fist. He pouted, before smirking and chucking it at me. I dodged it, but it landed in my food.
