Please Smile (EXO Fan Fiction)

Chapter Fifteen.

~ Christmas Super Special! ~

Two months went by in a blink of an eye since the day I told Yixing my secret.  My secret that will kill me, and unless I could afford advanced treatment, I will die.

            But that’s okay.  I’m living my dream along with my best friends, with a man I love, and all my peers that support me.

            For a few days, if I remember correctly, Yixing persisted that I go to the doctor to get surgery, but I opened up to him saying that I already have done that.  The cost is far too expensive, and it’ll take a few months with the promotion money that I will be being paid with to pay for it.  The thought of going in debt and having my career on the line with another thing frightens me.  It’s funny that I think of my career over my life, but if I die, I want to die with happy memories on stage, singing, smiling.

            But now, it’s almost Christmas, one of my most favorite holidays of the year, since I come from America.

            Even though I had a terrible family, Christmas, along with Thanksgiving, is the one day where we could actually be a happy family filled with joy and happiness.  Not one Christmas I spent with them was filled with yelling and anger, and I’m grateful for that.

            But now I’m spending my first Christmas as Aero along with Luhan and his eleven trainee members aka best friends.

            It’s such a good time to be alive.  I’m grateful, so grateful.

“Hey, Hyo!  Buy me this!”

            “Do I really have to repeat myself?”

            Minri pouted but put away the shirt she pulled out and smiled brightly for, but I shook my head and denied—for the fifteenth time.  At the corner of my eye, I saw her check her wallet and resume looking at more clothes.

            “Do you think Yi Fan will like this, Hyo?”

            Hyuna asked me and I turned my head to the object she held.  It was a shirt, a plain black shirt with some sort of boyish design that I can’t even describe, but in a way, it fit his style. With a motion of my hand, she held in front of her so I see its length. 

            “I think he’ll love it.”

            Hyuna smiled, and hugged the shirt.  Hyuna is younger than Yi Fan, and has been secretly crushing on him since, well, ever.  I don’t even know when, but whenever he’s by her, Hyuna’s face turns read and I hear her squeal a little. 

            I can’t lie.  For a trainee, he’s really attractive. Like DAMN! 

            I shook my head and walked deeper into the store.  Browsing at all its collections, it seemed I began to lose more hope in finding the perfect gift for Luhan and Yixing this Christmas.  I realized I entered a hat section of the store, and my darkening spirit began to lift once again.

            These boys love hats, right?  I’m sure they do.

            Excitement running hot down my veins, I looked sharply at every single hat.  I might as well buy all of them one, because they don’t seem to be too expensive.  I brought all my savings and such with me, so I’m positive I have more than enough.  Even my debit and credit card.  Combined, I have more than one million won.
