Body Switch

Chapter 3 : No more shaking like that

So let's recap. First crisis, I discovered that I am currently in one of the hottest bodies in the world. Second one, no one must know I am not DO. Third one, I had to resist lust. Fourth, I am supposed to do a shooting without knowing what the fuck I am supposed to do.

I am doomed.

"Is everything alright?" A hand pauses delicately in my back. The king of China is right by my side, tilting his body to match my size, Kyungsoo's size.

Let's do better than last time. Don't repeat the same mistakes you did with Suho.

"I guess I have accumulated too much stress and fatigue. I can't really remember what I have to do today. My voice isn't in good shape."

You can't say I'm totally lying because I'm trembling. I am afraid to mess up everything for them.

If I tell them the truth, I might mess up D.O.'s life and everyone will think he is crazy. That means he might lose his place as an idol. The place he worked so hard to make.

If I say nothing and try to do the shooting without knowing a thing, that will just end up with me destroying Kyungsoo's reputation and making the other members lose their day.

"Don't worry. It happened to me too. With all the things I do and especially since I have my own studio in China, sometimes I can't help it... I feel so lost and so exhausted. I kept it in and tried to do my best alone. Fortunately, I always had people around me encouraging me and helping me the best they can." Lay walked off, moving towards the staff. Stopping briefly, he added, "Don't move. Wait for me."

I see him whispering something to the staff member closest to him. That person points towards something or someone with their finger. Lay follows the direction and asks something to the people there.

"I have two good news for you, my friend." Yixing starts when he comes back. "The heavy work is planned for tomorrow, today we just have a photoshoot and some scenes to shoot. That leaves us with the choreography tomorrow and the scenes we can't film today." He looks so reliable and so beautiful. "Come with me, I have something for you."

We sit in a dressing room and Lay takes a glass then fills it with water. He searches for something in his bag and adds it to the water. "Here is a medicine I take when I start to feel ill. For example when my throat hurts, when I have a headache and everything. You take it again tonight and you should be better tomorrow." Then he gives me another one that I will have to use tonight. I am not really sick but I am so touched.

"Thank you so much. You are already so tired, you work even harder than me and you still take some time to help me."

Yixing is smiling brightly. If the sun was an idol, it would probably be him. How do I even open my eyes when there is so much light?

"You will be even more grateful, now! Because I will show you the exercises I do before a stressful work." He points a finger at me, "But before we do, you have to drink your medicine!"

After few minutes of relaxing exercices we went back to the others. Kai is looking up at us, looking worried. "I was afraid you two were lost!"

"Should I remind you when you got lost because you absolutely had to go to the toilet between two songs in our last concert?" Shouts Chen.

Kai was about to say something to defend his honor when the producer spoke up, "We will start the shooting now. Love Me Right is a cheerful song and I want to create a crazy side without overdoing it. For that purpose we chose a video game concept. Old school one. You will have some missions to do, we will see you fail or succeed them." The director looks at each one of us solemnly. "In the Korean version, you were all smiling. All young, asking for love." The director starts pointing a finger in the air. "With that version, you will look more serious and handsome. The starting scene will be at a dinner. You will wear the clothes we prepared for the shooting then sit at the tables, we will tell you more then."
