Mi-Woo's POV
I sat in this therapy room -which specifically looks exactly my room- waiting for the first day of this therapy. You see, I don't really know who's gonna be with me for the next twenty-three days.
The psychologist said that for it to be fast, I'd be with three famous boy groups here in Korea. For some, they think I'd be lucky, but for me, this is just for my therapy. I don't want to spend time with arrogant boys like them. Well, I don't really know them, since I've been in my therapy room for God knows how long.
I picked some papers my pschologist handed me, and he said that I was lucky because one band had nine members, and the other two were seven-membered groups, so in all, it was exactly twenty-three.
I was just there, sitting on the bed waiting for 'someone', he was from the nine-membered group called EXO. The only fact that I was excited about was he liked to dance and sing. I loved to perform, and I dreamt of becoming a trainee in JYP or BigHit. But, everything was ruined when I had this rare illness.
I was in the midst of reminiscing, when someone opened the door. He was tall, very tall actually. He did not really look like a Korean at all.
"Annyeonghaseyo! Lay-imnida." He said, quite cheerfully but still with the same face. I just smiled, and bowed. "You don't really need to introduce formally, just say your name." I said, not sure if I offended him.
"My name is Lay. I'm from the group called EXO." He said casually. "Are you really Korean? You looked a little bit more of Chinese.." I was not really sure where I was going. I was quite shy, since this was new for me. "Ah, Ne. My real name is Zhang Yixing." He replied kindly.
"So..." I was trailing off actually. He was still standing and I was still sitting. "What do I do?" I asked, dumbfounded. No one really did tell me on what to do. I wasn't really informed on 'How to Make Friends 101'. My mother always said that it just comes off naturally.
He chuckled, 'Oh god, he's cute.' I suddenly blushed from the thoughts. "I don't really know, the doctor just said that you need this for a therapy, nobody said anything, not even Kyungsoo-hyung." He replied. Scratching his head, him standing there awkwardly made him look hot effortlessly.
"I'm sorry, Kyungsoo-hyung?" I asked, curioused. "Oh? Ani. Nobody." He was just so awkward. "Uhm, you can sit now." I said, casually-ish. He obeyed and sat down beside me.
'Okay, Mi-Woo, you can do this. Start with a little conversation.' My thoughts trying to help me.
"So, I heard you loved to dance and sing?" I asked. 'Well, of course, he dances ang sings, he's an artist.' Oh God, my thought was right. He laughed awkwardly and just nodded.
"Don't be uncomfortable with me. I don't bite. And, I just really don't know how to make friends. So, can you please lead me?" I shamefully requested, my cheeks were redder than a tomato. "Of course, my pleasure." He replied.
"So, yes, I do dance and sing. Its quite my hobby. Why do you ask?" He started the conversation. "Uhm, when they said that the person I was going to meet loved to dance and sing, I was beyond excited. I really did want to audition, but since I got this weird illness, I stopped dreaming. Knowing that it would not really come true." I explained.
Way to go, Cha Mi-Woo! You're doing great! Aja!
"Aww, don't say that, you're going to be okay soon. With the help of me and my hyungs, and my hoobaes." He sweetly replied. I felt that he was sincere. I don't know where my hugging came from, but it was a spur in the moment. I felt like I really needed a hug, so I hugged him.
When the time I let go, I just smiled at him, and he smiled back. "Mianhaeyo, I just felt that I needed a hug." I sheepishly smiled. He chuckled, he pinched my cheeks. Usually, I'd hate people pinching my cheek, but when he did it, it felt like he was complimenting me.
"Its okay, dongsaeng~ Besides, I'm supposed to take care of you." I covered my eyes, how embarrassing. "Ani. Its okay. I can take care of myself. Kamsa, Oppa~" When I heard the latter part that I have said, I widened my eyes, realizing I just called him 'oppa'.
I was so embarrassed, I ran to the bathroom and locked up. I was covering my whole face. Clearly, I was just so embarrassed, I have been doing things that crossed the limits. Good thing, he was kind.
Moments later, someone knocked. "Dongsaeng~ Come out now, its okay if you're used to calling someone older, 'oppa...." That made me feel worse. I just groaned. "Aish! Mianhae, dongsaeng~ I'd promise not to make you remember it, just please come out. I prepared some food." He said from outside. I was quite hungry. I decided to be brave and came out.
"Ahh! Good! Let's eat." Lay said when he saw me. I slowly walked towards him, and looked at the food, it was ramyeon. "You cooked this?" I asked, smiling. He smiled, "Ani. My hyungs helped me. So, we can eat here." I just nodded and sat with him, actually this room also had a kitchen and a dining room.
Right now, we were in the dining room, eating.
Time flew past, we were already got the hang of it. We were just talking for hours. And, yes, I finally got over the 'oppa' thing.
I checked the time, 9:00PM. Woah! Time really flew past. We decided to have a movie marathon! Since I was the one in charge, I was the one to be followed. I made him watch 'Definitely, Maybe'
It was just my favorite movie to watch again and again. I loved it dearly.
After that, it was already 10:45PM. We decided to watch 'Avengers' to make it fair for the both of us. Since I was not a big fan of action movies, I fell asleep on his shoulder. I was comfortable with him, and it was okay with him, too.
I woke up at exact 12:00AM. There was a letter beside me. I managed to read the scribbly writings.
"I had a fun day. This was truly a memory to keep. Good luck with your therapy! And, never be close to my co-members like how close we got! But, please be good to them. I was comfortable with you. I made a new friend :)"
-Zhang Yixing (Lay-oppa) ;)
I smiled. Aigoo, that oppa! Glad he treated me as a friend.
Well yeah. I was comfortable with him, but I was not sure if he was to be called my friend. I felt comfort, not love for a friend. Not now, but I'll soon do that.
I looked around my room, and saw a list sticked on my door. It was a list for me, the names whom I going to meet for the next twenty-two days.
"Oh well, one down, twenty-two more." I whispered.
Instead of going back to sleep, I did a research about the person I was going to meet tomorrow.
"Oh? A main vocalist, huh? Let's see, he's part of the maknae line? He's still older than me though." I said. I was done with my research and tried to go back to sleep.
A/N:
Hi! I'm back! Say hello to Lay! This bias wrecker! You'll soon know my bias in EXO, just wait ;) For the people who knows my bias, just shhh! Hahaha, who's the next person Cha Mi-Woo will meet? Uhm, all of them are older than Mi-Woo, you'll know soon ;) You can try to guess who'd be the next person and I'll give you a dedication. Hint: He could be from the groups, EXO, Got7 or BTS. Yes! Like it was not obvious. That's kinda a good hint! I'll just reply to the comment who'd have a dedication. 'Till next time! Lovelots :*-Seuta🌟
