Playing with Monster(BOOK ONE:SEOUL)

CHAPTER TWO:The Preparation

Rosè's POV.

It has been two weeks since we were picked. And I'll tell you, it has been the most difficult weeks of my life. It was more difficult than my training days. We have recieved so many feedbacks from the people and most and by 'most' I mean all of them are bad feedbacks. People are so furious about us and EXO will live together in one place. They even signed a petition to cancel the show. I mean, us, Blackpink and our company would have signed too. But it's too late. We have been chosen and signed already. I know EXO and their team are against it too. It was so obvious because after the picking, we passed by their waiting room and we heard people screaming.

EXO and Blackpink aren't allowed to do interviews since the announcement. We aren't also allowed to go online and outside of our dorm. These past two weeks we were only briefed by the stuff of The Show as they visit our dorm day by day. Our managers also pay their visit by time to time.

I've been so un-okay these days, thinking I'll be spending my next three months with EXO. Specially Chanyeol. I don't know why, but I just feel uneasy. Maybe it's because I'm very intimidated by his presence. I don't know what he did to me though, for me to act like this. I mean, we don't even talk. People say he's very nice but why am I intimidated? That's something I want to find out.

I was suddenly pulled away from my thoughts when the door suddenly opened and our manager walked in in our dorm.

I suddenly stood up from the couch when I realized that he is not alone. Behind him are EXO and a man in his mid fourties. I think he is their manager. Jennie stopped eating her cerial and went to us, at the living room.

The members of EXO smiled at us and some of them waved. Jennie smiled back at them while I stand dumbfounded.

"Where are Lisa and Jisoo?" Our manager asked.

"They're at their rooms." Jennie answered.

"Go call them." He ordered us.

"I'll go and call them." Jennie volunteered and quickly went to out of the living room.

"Hi Rosè." Lay smiled at me.

"H-hi." I tried to smile back but I can't help to startle as I see the man standing beside him smiling at me with his white teeth showing perfectly.

The rest of them greeted me and at the same time, Jennie is back with our two other members.

"Please sit down." Our manager invited them and they all sat down on the couch. "Go get your chair, girls." He ordered us and we obeyed.

We went to our rooms to get our chairs.

"Why are they suddenly here?" Jennie asked me as we went back to the living room.

I just shrugged for an answer.

When we went to the living, we set the chair in front of them and sat down.

"You guys are probably wondering why we are here." Their manager asked us and we nod.

"Uhh, we are too." Baekhyun points out.

My eyebrows crunched by what he said.

"We didn't warn both groups so we could see your reactions when you meet in one house." Our manager explained.

Me and the girls nod and the boys did too.

So the boys are un-aware too.

"So like that's it?" Sehun asked their manager.

"No." Their manager shook his head. "We are also gonna explain the rules to you." He said. "So listen carefully."

"First," our manager spoke. "You cannot talk about the outside world when you will enter the house."
