When I Leave | EXO

(23) Not Friend Feelings

I could feel the unusual environment as I woke up. My eyes opened, coming face to face with none other than Jonghyun, who was definitely not my bunk mate.

"Ah!" I shrieked, startled by his presence, "What're you doing?"

He grinned, "Everyone's already awake. Key asked me to wake you up."

I nodded, pushing him out of the bed playfully. He fell, laughing, and got up and left the room to give me privacy.

I got dressed quickly in sweatpants, then put on a new T-shirt. I ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth, then pulled my hair up and calmly walked into the living room.

"Why are we up so early?" It was odd to me that we were awake at... 9? Holy, I slept in.

"Early for you is different than early for the rest of Korea, or anyone else on this planet really." Hajae taunted, returning to her conversation with Minho.

That was when Sorae looked at me, "Did Jonghyun Oppa tell you that our first concert is today, in Busan?"

I shook my head, "Busan isn't far. The concert is gonna be a little early if we get there at like 11 in the morning, don't you think?"

She then informed me, "We're going to an interview around 12, then we're gonna chill until 6."

Miyoung then jumped off the couch and ran toward me with full speed, squeezing me in an excited hug. "Guess who's in the concert? Before us is Super Junior, then us, then SHINee! And Red Velvet goes before us! Think about it, we're gonna be as known as RED VELVET! I'm so excited for our new music!"

"Calm yourself, Young." Sorae laughed, "You're gonna kill Z with your bone crushing hug."

Miyoung released me, skipping happily to her place with Key on the ground, playing some phone game on Kibum's phone.

I took a seat on the couch, waiting to think of something to do before our interview. Nothing came to mind.

"Girls!" Mr. Park suddenly appeared in the room, addressing our group. "I set up a way for us to video call with Exo through the TV on a game console. They're calling in a minute or so, so get ready."

Mr. Park walked to the TV to start setting up, while we readied ourselves. Then it occurred to me, "Boys, hide!"

The Exo boys were unaware that SHINee was on tour with us. It was best to surprise them.

The four of us girls sat quietly, waiting for the call to start. Before we were warned, the call began, with Chen's face being the only thing visible.

"Annyeong, boys!" We shouted with happiness obvious in our voices.

"Yah, girls! There's a problem!" Chanyeol crossed his arms sassily. "Xiumin, Kai, Luhan, and Suho are mad that you left without saying goodbye formally. Suho said he's cutting off our hair while we sleep."

"Why is he mad? Sujin isnt real!" Sorae screeched. "HyoRae for the win! Or should we call it SoZ?"

"..." No one responded, until Sehun spoke, "So, why did Mr. Park set this up?"

That was a good question. I felt like Mr. Park purposely set this up for something. "I don't know, but there's a surprise."

With that said, I crawled away to where the boys were hiding and patted Onew on the head to signal him and his group to stand. As the five came on screen, there was an over exaggerated gasp from the maknae, Sehun. He then cracked a grin, running off camera. "Kai, your boyfriend's here!"

You could here the pitter patter of the two youngest members running to our video call. Kai then broke into a weird, happy dance as Taemin became visible to him.
