"I'm still confused how she doesn't know." Cami stated, glancing at Chen who was currently talking to D.O.

"I'm as confused as you are." Chanyeol whisper-laughed, since the topic of discussion was 3 seats away.

"I've given away so many hints," Xiumin said quietly, then pointing at Baekhyun, who was looking the other way. "He has too - and he did them on a livestream."

"Wait - WAIT." Cami suddenly realized, her voice getting a little louder. Sehun politely shot her a small "shh" from a few seats away. "So on the ticket livestream, the whole phone incident was her?"

Jongdae stayed silent, seeming to avoid conversation.

"Yep." Xiumin answered simply, nudging Jongdae with his left elbow. "Talk, Chen - this is all your situation, not ours."

"So you're telling me she still doesn't know." Jongdae restated, seeming shocked by the fact.

"Exactly!" Cami and Chanyeol exclaimed in unison. Luckily no one from the other end of the table turned around.

"Okay, okay," Jongdae muttered, trying to calm the two down. "But you know." He said, pointing at the girl in front of him.

"Naw, I'm just casually talking to my idols about my friend secretly and unknowingly being besties with the Kim Jongdae-" Cami retorted sarcastically.

"Okayyy, okay," Jongdae stretched out the words, making a little sigh. "Then this makes it a little difficult."

"Oh really?" Chanyeol asked with raised eyebrows.

"I swear to God if you guys don't stop being sarcastic - I need to think of a plan." Jongdae muttered, holding his head in one of his hands.

"Just tell her when she gets over here," Sehun suggested, answered sharply by Cami's loud, "No!"

This time the others did look over, and Cami seemed suddenly sorry. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, whyamIsuchanidiot-"

"Uh, no no it's fine. Sorry." Sehun apologized, "Why not though?"

"It'd ruin the concert for her. Like, she'd have to comprehend that all night." Cami answered.

"Well you can't just let her leave before you tell her." Chanyeol pointed out, watching as Chen now moved to talk to Suho and lowering his voice.

"You know I'm going to choose her for the backstage thing." Jongdae whispers, Cami not even seeming shocked or offended. "She's in seat 39 or 40 right?"

"Stalker-"

"Right, yeah I think she was going to take seat 39, since she ordered the tickets as the livestream said thirty-nine." Cami answers, not phased by Jongdae already knowing.

"How are you not creeped out by this creep?" Chanyeol asked, laughing lightly.

"When you're trying to save your best friend's mental and emotional state you don't really recognize things like that." Cami said, staying quiet as well to avoid being overheard by Chen.

"Guys... guys," Jongdae whispered, trying to stop the small chatter of ideas that was growing louder.

"...and girl." he added when Cami was the only one talking. She shut her mouth quite quickly, Sehun making a little chuckle when she looked around at all them, embarrassed with pink cheeks.

"I've got a plan. It'll be fine, I'll choose her as one of the winners for the backstage thing." Jongdae began, tapping his head. "Then I'll just... oh!" He exclaimed, an idea hitting him. Chen glanced over at "the other" Chen, Jongdae quickly looking the other direction, face now red.

"Cute~" Chanyeol cooed, poking Jongdae in the cheek. He kept facing the opposite direction, looking towards Sehun's end of the table. Sehun wore a sad smile, everyone's tilted and confused heads asking what was wrong.

"Well, if we invite Chen backstage we have to invite Cami, right?" Sehun asked, wearing a innocent smile.

"Oh, no no," Cami quickly replied, shaking her head and hands back and forth. "You don't have to do that. Meeting you right now is just fine - it's heaven - I mean - wait, is that weird?"

"Nah." Chanyeol replied simply, Sehun raising an eyebrow.

"You're awfully calm..." Sehun said quietly, "I mean - not in a bad way," he immediately corrected in case she took it the wrong way. "I mean, Chen always described you as kinda crazy when she texted about you."

"Well, I mean..." Cami began, "I think something weird is happening. I was crazy on my way here, and when I found you were Chanyeol," she said, making a little point at Chanyeol, "And then in result you were him," she continued, making a little nod towards Jongdae and staying aware of Chen standing 2 seats away.

"...everything suddenly... it suddenly changed." Cami finishes, seeming reflective in what she had just said.

"Like, if I don't think about it too hard my inner fangirl doesn't come out. Yet if I do... like... you." She made an almost accusing point at Jongdae, "I actually found the Chen online." she said, lowering her voice at the end of the sentence.

"And then my thoughts kind of go on a tangent... like... oh my gosh." Cami explains, suddenly hitting a moment of realization.

"What?"

"Chen has a fan account for his own band."
