Dream University (EXO Fanfic)

Chapter 80 : Welcome To Hanyang

Monday. Facade of the Platinum Dorm. Eun Hee's POV.

I sat down on one of the available seats in the veranda, awaiting for the supposed car that is to pick me up around this hour. "Are you nervous, Eun Hee~?" says Tao, rubbing my shoulders to ease. I try to sag them up a bit, almost as if trying to wipe away the fear within me. "Yeah, I'm okay." I look behind him to find no one other but his presence. "Where are the others?"

Tao leans on the veranda ledge, seeking around the area before pointing at the near distance. I trace his index finger pointing at my right to find the Platinum members walking side by side with the Gold members. I stood up and met them halfway with my suitcase just behind me.

"Eun Hee, we're sorry. We did everything we can to persuade the dean but he remained headstrong about the whole thing. It seems we can't cancel this visit after all.." says Lay, expressing a sorrowful look. I raise his head up with both my hands placed on his cheeks, "Don't worry about me, Lay. I can protect myself now. If I could survive from EunRa's incident then I'm sure this is nothing for me." I jest.

And yet, they plastered grim looks as I mentioned an unwanted name around. Kris coughs out the awkward air, "With your big arms I'm sure you can manage either--oof!" Suho and Sehun jab Kris before he could speak another word. Before anything else, Kyungsoo makes his way near me with a smile that almost seems so motherly. "Are you all set?" says Kyungsoo, previewing his heart-shaped smile.

"Just kind of nervous of what's to come." I choke out my system. "No need to fret, Eun Hee. I'm positive you'll do well on your stay. Now, here's your Platinum tie." Luhan holds up my tie in front of me, seemingly looking more expensive than the previous one I always wear. As I wore it around my neck Luhan spoke once more, "Please do wear it at all times. It is, to say, for your own safety as to let the people around you be wary of your presence there."

"Oh, okay. Thanks guys for all your help--" "Waaaait! Eun Hee!" From the distance, I see Xiumin running towards us with his favorite teddy bear in his hands. As soon as he was a meter apart from me, he raises the teddy just near my face. "W-Will you bring him along w-with you..? It will surely be lonely without us beside you again.." He spoke, panting rather.

I couldn't help but hug his squishy little head later on wrapping the teddy bear in my arms, "Of course, Xiumin! Thank you for lending him to me. I'll make sure to take extra good care of him." He smiles with content as he leans and put all his weight towards Chen who then falls down on the wooden floor. "Yah! Xiumin be careful!" said Chen, easing his pained butt. I couldn't help but chuckle as I help him up.

Like schedule, a car's soft engine enters the scene. All of us watch as a Mercedes Benz drives down in front of us with a flag which contained the insignia of Yonsei University. I clear my throat as a person exits from the car.

A woman around her thirties, short bobbed hair with a height of an average Korean woman stands just by the side of the car and politely opens the car door with a gentle look. "Shall we head off, Platinum?" "Erm..--" "No need to be alarmed, Eun Hee. That's just the secretary of the dean, her name is Chun Xi. In actual truth she is around her forties!"

Shocked by hearing her age, I robotically move myself near the car. Before entering, I look back at the rest of the members who continues to stare at me. Out of instinct, I dart my stare to Chanyeol who seconds later parts his eyes away from me. "Good luck, Platinum." says Kai as he freely shuts the door after miss Chun Xi has entered the vehicle.

Once inside, she stares at me with bright eyes. "How are you feeling? Quite nervous I suppose?" Something about her is quite soothing for some reason that I couldn't help but be totally honest around her. "Naturally, yes. Although I'm more concern of how I'm going to be acting when I'm actually there."
