The Bodyguard (An EXO Fanfiction)

Alternate Ending K (Part 1)

Kris's POV (1 year later)

Life without SM entertainment breathing down my beck has been one of the best things to ever happen to me in my entire life. While I miss everyone from EXO, I'm much happier knowing that my heart problems have subsided and I'm free to do what I want once again.

I've filmed many dramas and movies while in China, and have heard about Luhan and Tao both leaving EXO not too long after me. I applaud their bravery, because it's not easy turning against the very company that made you famous, and demanding better treatment when it's deserved. I admit, it's been hard dealing with the hate that I get from anti-fans, and all the grief I get for leaving EXO.

But nothing has been as hard as leaving Aria behind.

My mind keeps going back to the day at the hospital when I said those harsh words to her, intending for her to hate me before I left. It was hard leaving everyone, but the most difficult person to leave was Aria.

I didn't intend to fall in love with her, but that's inevitably what happened.

In the beginning, she was just supposed to be a puppet, an accomplice, to help me leave EXO without any trouble. She was just supposed to help me create scandal after scandal so that no one would want me back, not even her. In fact, I didn't even think she would fall in love with me. Someone like her never likes pretty boys like me.

But still, it happened.

After throwing away my phone, I made it impossible for her to contact me, but most importantly so I couldn't contact her.

'I wonder how she's doing right now...' I thought, looking out the window of my apartment onto the city.

I've read gossip magazines that say she's been forced into hiding, some claim that she's out of work and has been forced to work menial jobs as a cashier, and other say she's dating a super wealthy CEO. But I don't know what to believe, gossip magazines rarely hold any truth to them.

If I just had a chance to speak to her one last time, then I'd apologize to her for the trouble I've caused and tell her the truth about my feelings.

I turned on the TV to see that there was a special on about CL and the brand Moschino. I half-watched the show, partially lost in my thoughts when I spotted someone familiar standing in the background.

I sat up straight and paused the show, rewinding a little bit.

"Oh my god is that..." I came closer to see that Aria was standing behind CL, "It is! Its seriously Aria!"

I turned to my phone instinctively, getting ready to dial CL's number when I paused.

"Am I seriously going to make this call?" I muttered to myself.

Was I really going to throw myself back into Aria's life when I wasn't even sure if she wanted me back? And what if Tao got to her before I had a chance to?

"I just won't mention Aria." I decided, calling CL almost immediately.

"Hello?" CL said when she picked up, "How's it going Kris, are you bored or something?"

"Well..." I tried to think up a good lie, "I'm planning on going to LA soon and I was wondering if you wanted to meet up."

"Uh-huh, so you're telling me you want to hang out all of a sudden?" CL said, sounding suspicious, "This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with my new bodyguard, would it?"

"W-what... what do you mean?" I stuttered.

"For an actor, you're a terrible actor." CL laughed, "Everyone in Korea knows about you two and you think I wouldn't know too? I'm not dumb, if you want to come see Aria, then just say so, but don't pretend you want to hang out with me, okay?"

I sighed, "Alright, fine, I want to see Aria."

"Forget about it."

"What? Why?!" I asked, shocked by her sudden rejection.

"I know how heartbroken a girl gets when a guy uses her, okay? It's happened to me plenty of times. I'm not letting you hurt my friend ever again, got it?" CL said, "I'm hanging up."

"Wait CL! Please listen to me. I'm not going to hurt Aria, okay? I just want to tell her the truth." I said.

"What's the truth, then?" CL said, "You weren't just using her to get out of being in EXO? Because it seems to make a hell of a lot of sense that you were just using her."

"Please, CL, let me explain everything to her. Besides, you have nothing to do with this." I replied.

"Yes I do. I decide whether or not you can be in the same fucking building as her. Who do you think the guards listen to here?" CL said.

"What do I need to do to convince you?" I begged.

"Well... there is something you could to for me." CL said, "But if you don't follow through then I'm sending your bitch ass right back home without even letting you get a glimpse of Aria, got it?"

"Yes, I understand perfectly." I replied, "What is it?"

"You're pretty close with Burberry, right?" CL said, "You walked in one of the shows. Can you get me into the next fashion show?"

Once I realized how menial her request was, I started to laugh uncontrollably.

"Well, can you?" CL asked, getting annoyed.

"Yes, of course I can." I responded, "They love me."

"Alright," CL said, "Then I'll allow you to speak to Aria. But I can't guarantee she'll listen to you."

"Thank you so much CL."

"That's Miss CL to you." She said before hanging up.

I chuckled, glad that CL wasn't seriously mad at me. We had become friends somehow, she's a great person. I'm happy that Aria ended up working for her and not some other vindictive company like SM.

I called my manager and informed him that I wouldn't be available for the next few day. I also asked him to book me a flight to LA as soon as possible.

My heart was racing as I started packing.

"I'm seriously going to see Aria again." I muttered, smiling to myself. "Hopefully she'll forgive me."
