As Chanyeol shows Chorong and Ji Yvon the way to EXO's dorm, Chorong seems to be distracted.
"Chorong? You okay?" Ji Yvon questions in a worried tone.
"Huh? Y-yeah...I just...I don't understand. Why that girl could've possibly want to throw away such a huge chance to be famous - to meet EXO."
"Well, there could be many reasons. Maybe she got caught up with something? Ugh. Doesn't matter. Stop thinking about it and just enjoy what's about to happen!" Ji Yvon coos.
"What's about to happen?"
"We're finally going to meet EXO, stupid!"
The girls laugh as Chanyeol struggles to get their attention.
"Man, I thought I was hot enough for your eyes to be locked to me." Chanyeol jokes, rubbing his neck.
"I'm so sorry! I was just..." Chanyeol looks down, guilty for not paying attention.
He laughs and ruffles Chorong's hair. "It's okay! Let's speed it up a little, though. We're late." he smiles.
Chorong feels her cheeks heating up. "Gosh, why does he have to be so cute?" she says to herself.
"I know I am." he blurts.
"W-what?! Oh my god, did I say that out loud?" Chorong asks, embarrassed.
Both Ji Yvon and Chanyeol bursts in laughter.
"No, silly. I just know." he winks.

Chorong's POV
I'm standing right in front of the door - of EXO's door. I feel my heart pounding so loud i think everyone can hear. As the door creaks open, my legs shake like crazy.
"Wow...such divided attention when our girl is here." Chanyeol yells, making 'tsk' sounds. All attention finally go towards me.

I was absolutely frozen. I tried to speak, but no words escaped my mouth. But when Luhan's soft voice speaks up, I feel the weight in my stomach lift. "Hello, Chorong. I'm Luhan. Welcome to the family." he smiles. Ah, as I expected. He's the kind one here. "Hi, I'm Chorong." Oh my god. Am I that stupid? He already knows my name! "Uh...I mean...I know. I mean you know! That I'm Cereal. CHORONG. Yeah." Cereal. REALLY.
All eyes are just pointed at me as the room stays silent.
Finally, everyone bursts out in laughter. I feel so humiliated.
"I'm so sorry, Cereal. I mean Chorong." Baekhyun says, jokingly. "Your face is red. You must be so embarrassed." he teases. Ugh, how rude. He's definitely not my bias.
"Chorong, breath. You'll be fine." Ji Yvon comforts. I give her a light smile. Kai approaches us with two glasses of water. "Here, you must be --" Baekhyun puts his foot in front of Kai's path. Tripping, water escapes from the glasses and spill right on my face.
Oh...
My...
God. This is so not happening!
Everyone's jaws drop to the floor.
"I'm sooooo sorry, Chorong! I didn't mean to do that!" Kai apologizes. He turns to Baekhyun. "Gosh, Baekhyun! Seriously? You're so immature." he added.
"Oh, c'mon. I'm just having a little fun." he smirks and walks away.
"Don't take it personally. He's kind of hard to get along with around new people." Chen chimes in.
Ji Yvon's looks at me in sorrow. "Aw, Chorong. I know this wasn't what you expected, but don't lose hope now. Things will get better. Aren't you the optimistic one?" she hugs me tightly.
I'm so lucky to have a friend like Ji Yvon. Even though we're complete opposites, it's what makes us match. "I'm just going to go clean up. Where's the bathroom?" I ask.
"First door to your right. Oh, and um...don't open the drawer under the sink." Chen instructed.
"...Why?" I asked.
"Just don't."
I make my way to the bathroom, until someone gets in my way. I look up.
Of course. Him again.
Baekhyun's eyes growled at me. "Note that your little adventure with us will not be smooth. You weren't meant to be the co-star of this movie. She was."
I furrow my brows in confusion. "That girl who quit?" I asked.
"What are you talking about?"
"She didn't show up at the audition. The director said she quit, so don't put this on me." I snap at him.
He scoffs. "You are such a liar. A girl like her would never throw away a chance to be in a real movie. She told me that you threatened her to drop out!" His voice raises.
My eyes widen in shock. "Me?! I would never threaten someone like that!"
"Save it, Chorong. I know your little secret that got you this part." and that was his final word as he storms away.

I cannot believe what just happened.
