"I can't believe you bought even more stuff." Chen stated, laughing half-humorously, half-disappointingly.

"Why are you so disappointed in me? I mean I bought you stuff too," she smiled, nudging Chen's arm. When there was a minimal response, she leaned up against her as they walked. "You bought stuff too~"

"I did, I did." Chen admitted, shaking her arm that had a silver and black bracelet on it that matched well with the necklace too.

"You're a jewelry person, aren't you?" Cami asked, rubbing her arm on the inside of a jacket she had just bought and put on over a hoodie.

"And you're a jacket person, aren't you?" Chen teased back, "Is it as cold as Antarctica or-"

"Don't drag me," Cami warned with a laugh, holding her finger up in defense. "I'm carrying your poster and picture cards-"

"Don't you dare bend them because you know someone'll be smacked." Chen retorted, quickly replied by Cami.

"I wouldn't ever break such a precious masterpiece!" she exclaimed without a hint of sarcasm. "I would probably just end up stealing them."

"Well thanks," Chen laughed, "I still want them though." she added after Cami had started walking faster towards the door. Once they had gotten their tickets out and found their way to their seats, somewhat near the front as it was #39 and #40, Chen found herself looking around the big stadium-like venue hall.

Cami pulled out her phone.

"Who you lookin' for?" Cami asked Chen, who was still looking all around at every wall of the building.

"Oh, I'm just looking around. How many people do you think are here?" Chen asked. Cami made a confused face, trying to tell if she was lying or not. When there was no break in the possible lie, she decided to drop the possibility.

"Probably no more than 1000." Cami shrugged, looking around as well.

"Oh." Chen breathed quietly, followed by dead air filled with commotion from people nearby.

"Sehun."

"Good one Cami."

"That wasn't me." Cami laughed, making Chen look back towards the people next to her.

"Hi! Sorry I'm just barging in." a girl next to Cami smiled, making a little wave. The girl made a sweet smile, revealing the bronze glow at her cheeks. "My name's Kyra."

"Nice to meet you," Cami immediately smiled, holding out her hand that the new girl shook. "I'm Cami and this is Chen."

Chen made a suddenly large, cheeky smile in greeting. "Nice to meet you," she waved.

"Oh! That's really cool!" she exclaimed, confusing both of them for a few seconds.

"Oh, my name?" Chen asked, pointing at herself.

"Yeah, that's really cool - is it your real name?" Kyra asked, eyes bright with curiosity.

"Legally yes," Chen laughed, earning a giggle from Cami.

"Isn't it so cool? And her Chinese name is written the same way as Jongdae's stage name!" she added, obviously beginning to tell the story of how she had told Chen this coincidence before she had become a fan of EXO.

Chen was about to interject, but it seemed as though Kyra was actually interested. She easily noticed Kyra's well done makeup, it mostly being around her dark brown eyes that matched her hair, her skin just a few shades lighter.

"...that's really cool!" she exclaimed, looking towards Chen. "And I'd assume your bias is Chen too?"

"Haha, yes he is!" Chen smiled, trying to be sociable. "And this is really random but I really like your eye makeup, it's really pretty."

"Oh!" Kyra began, lighting touching the side of her eye.

"-Sehun,"

"Same, Cami, same. Uh, yeah! Thank you so much! I tried really hard to make it nice for concert, hopefully I don't cry it off again." She said, lightly touching the other side with her other hand.

"Again?" Cami asked, seeming curiously concerned.

"Well, yeah, last concert I went to I cried like, twice." Kyra laughed, not at all covering up her experiences. "They had a concert up north a little bit - it's closer to my house than here - over a year ago. Probably the best concert I'll ever go to."

"In -----?" Cami exclaimed, perking up. "I heard the place it was held was huge!" she began, stretching her arms far apart. "I've seen fancams from that performance! It was the one when Lay's dance went viral, right?"

"Oh yeahhhh..." Kyra stretched the word as if she was in reflection. "That did happened."

"I can't tell if you liked it, or are hardcore judging it in your memories." Chen pointed out, quickly responded by a stern "Both."

Cami broke out laughing, letting out between breaths of laughter, "I'm crying-"

Kyra laughed too, putting a finger over her bottom lip in thought. "I mean, yes there was an adequate amount of hip thrusts but Baekhyun just made it awkward with the constant comments..."

Suddenly everyone around them got louder, the seats around them that were empty just a while ago now full and with people cheering. All three of them paused their conversation looking up at the giant screen, then at the stage which was close enough to focus on.

"Prepare yourself." Kyra whispered, everyone's attention still on the stage. There was a instrumental playing, Chanyeol and Kai appearing onstage parallel to each other, walking in two straight lines. The cheering that arrived just as they got on stage wasn't surprising, for it had been anticipated, and everyone was ready for a seriously synchronized performance.

That expectation was broken pretty quickly as Baekhyun sprinted onstage in between them, spinning in circles with his arms out as he caught up with the two others. The screaming continued as Sehun and Suho made their way on stage, Baekhyun taking advantage of the free time and waving joyfully at the audience.

He adjusted his mic as the instrumental blended into the beginning of the first song, hopping onto Chanyeol and Kai's shoulders.

"Come on." he whispered into the mic, it projecting a lot louder than expected. The beginning of the song started with quick clapping, nearly everyone in the building now clapping. It echoed in Chen's ears, but she couldn't help but smile.
