How's life with EXO?

Chapter 15: Truth/Not

3rd Person

No one ever thought that Kai would act like that infront of all the fans. Kai is not a 'happy-go-lucky' type of person. Kai shows his best everytime they're on stage. What happened was a total shock to the gang, the producers, Young and especially the FANS.

Do Kyungsoo, the member that has a strong connection to Kai, followed him. Acts on stage aren't just playful games, they are idols, performance is their thing. One failure, it'll make whole lot of issues.

Fans stopped screaming and all their wilds smiles turned into harsh frowns. Thinking What happened to Kai?

Kyungsoo's POV

All of the members suddenly stopped. Kai fell, everyone's startled. What's going on?

"Okay, back to the practice. Let Kai have his own time." the instructor said. But no one's stopping me. My Jong in needs me.

"Excuse me, Jong in needs me." the boys were staring at me, because they were already in position to repeat the routine. But I decided to run back and follow Jong in.

"Kai! Kai! Jongin-ah!" I ran to the backstage and followed him. This isn't good.

He continued running and didn't mind me. He was in a total wreck-out. He's obviously frowning in confusion.

I came to him, catching my breath for a second. I saw him leaning on a wall , continuing to fall down. He then showed his face, those eyes with such big dark circles, slightly red-ish, probably crying because of frustration.

"Kai, what happened?" I asked him while wiping my sweat.

"I can't stand it anymore..." he collapsed into the floor giving it a good slam and scratch. I'm not used to this kind of Kai.

"You can't stand what, Jongin?" I asked him, his coiling his self up. Hiding almost all the part of his body, he even wore his hoodies on to cover his face.

"I can't stand... I can't.. I- can't stand the pressure anymore... I'm so nervous and I feel like throwing up every time I go up the stage," really? Jong in is a confident person. He's the oxygen-loaded member in the group. He doesn't ran out of air, he can do solo performances. Great thinking ha?

"If that's the case, then we'll be there behind you. We always are. We are one, remember?" he raised his head and his eyes attented in one direction.

"Stand up, sport. Last minute rehearsals." i smiled at him.

He stood up immediately. Brushed off the anxiety of sadness and doubt. He's not an idol to experience that. In fact, I don't want my Jong in to have a frown while on stage.

I gave him a hug and it's so unexpected he hugged me back too.. tightly. So tight that I can't breathe, then he broke the hugging moment. He wiped off his tears and told me "Thank you hyung, thank you for always being there."

We walked back to the stage and all of a sudden we saw Young running. She's probably on the way for Jong in too.

"Kai..." she sighed.

"Young," Kai managed to say even though it's hard for him.

"How are you?" she asked.

"Do Kyungsoo, on stage please!" one of the producers calling me using a megaphone.

"Since you're okay, I'll go ahead. See you later." I told Kai. "Bye Young."

Kai's POV

Young's here? Why? I thought she was busy supporting his husband.
