" okay guys .. NO NEED TO STRESS OKAY ? I AM HERE .. NO NEED TO BE AFRAID .. IT WILL BE ALRIGHT .. NO WORRIES AT ALL .. IT IS JUST A FEW HOURS .. WE ARE OKAY .. WE ARE OKAY  .. DON'T BE SCARED OKAY ? "
the manager said almost yelling in the plane while clutching hard on the seat belt and gritting his teeth .. Kai next to him touched his shoulder which Tae flinched ..
Kai asked worried " are you sure you are not the one we should calm down ? "
Tae turned very slowly to Kai due to his fear " w .. what ? .. no ! I am not afraid ! "
and he tried to laugh it off but it came out awkward ..
Kai smiled and whispered " it is okay to be afraid hyung .. just hold my hand .. it will be okay "
Tae blushed .. he was the one suppose to calm them " I .. I will hold your hand .. not because I AM AFRAID .. because I am NOT .. but just in case you freak out or something "
Kai rolled his eyes " of course hyung "
Baek in the seat behind them giggled whispering loudly .. " I can't believe he has a plane phobia hhhhh "
Tae blushed harder and said " BYUN baekhyun .. shut up ! Kyung soo can you please slap him for me ?  "
" Kyung soo doesn't hit me when we are in public- OUCH ! WHAT THE ?! YAH ! "
Kyung soo smiled " anything for Tae hyung "
Baek glared at him and huffed ..
Kai said again " hyung .. the plane didn't even move yet .. calm down "
tae nodded furiously "I .. I am  calm .. did. .did everyone have a seat ? "
Kai looked behind and saw everyone waving " yup .. all sitting down "
" good "

Once the plane started moving ..  Tae held the seat like his life depends on it .. sweat increased .. heart beat too .. but then .. the soothing voice of Kai brought him back to his senses .. '' hyung do you want me to call the air attendant ?? your face is yellow ! "
Tae shook his head ..
Baek talked behind them sensing the seriousness of the situation  " hyung .. I was joking around .. it is okay to be scared .. okay ? "
kyungsoo talked next " Kai .. there is a paper bag in the seat in front of you .. give him to breath in it "
Kai did that .. and they watched as the manager breathed in and out fast .. but relaxed after moments ..
kyungsoo continued " give him the headphones and let him watch a movie on the small TV .. "
Kai also did that and gave the remote control to Tae who put the air bag back ..
" here .. watch something .. it will distract you .. "
Tae did that .. and he put the movie " Nemo"
he doesn't even care how childish this is .. at least it will make him at ease ..
" k .. Kai ? "
"yes hyung ? need something ? "
"can .. can .. I .. can I hold your hand ? "
Kai chuckled and nodded " sure .. "

the plane FINALLY landed in the airport of China ..
Tae was a little less yellowish .. but still dizzy ..
they went to the hotel and had a rest ..

next day ..
everyone went to the manager's room ..
he locked it the night before .. but of course .. with chanyeol .. no lock is hard for him ..
they found Tae sleeping peacefully on big comfortable bed ..
they all stood staring at him ..
kyungsoo said with sympathy " the panic in the plane he had really Made him exhausted.."
Chen nodded siting near Tae's feet on the bed .. " yeah but he told us to wake him up so we can go discover around ..and to meet lu and Tao and yifan .. "
xiumin said " well .. let's wake him slowly .. "
suho did the waking .. and Tae graoned " hmmjsytwuijb... "
the members looked at each other and stifled their laughs ..
" hyung .. you need to wake up .. hyung .. "
Tae wined some more and woke up .. and was still half asleep " what .. how .. did you come in ?I locked the door ?! "
they all looked at chanyeol who smiled widely ..
Tae sighed " I should have guessed .. anyway .. what's going on ? are you guys okay ?"
Baek smiled " I want to know what's going on with your hair ! wow .. that's a nice sun .. "
Tae's hair was really a mess .. he glared saying " well .. not everyone has a personal hair professionals with expensive products like you guys .. anyway .. did you have your breakfast?  "
xiumin shook his head .. " no hyung .. we are waiting to have it with you .. ''
Tae smiled .. " okay .. you go on first and order whatever you want .. "
Baek smirked " that's an old trick hyung. . you want us to go out so you can have few more moments of sleep .. move to the bathroom ! "
kyungsoo slapped the back of baek's head and hissed " I see you are becoming more rude with every day .. "
Baek pouted " he did it last time ! "
xiumin pushed them all " come on guys let's go .. we will wait for him "
Baek shouted before being out of the room " hyung! if you be late for more than 15 minutes I will order steak and sushi ! "
Tae chuckled .. and got up towards the bathroom ..

After 15 minutes ~
they all sat around a table in the restaurant of the hotel .. had breakfast..
and started the ' exploration ' ..
the members showed him the places they went to when they came before ..
late in the afternoon .. they decide it is time to go visit the three ex members who they talked to before coming to China ..
" do I look okay ? I think I should have worn something more formal .. "
Baek rolled his eyes and smiled "you look fine hyung .. you are acting as if you are going to a blind date or something .. "
Tae's eyes widend " w . .what .. I .. I just want to make a good impression for them .. so they can be at ease that you guys are in safe hands .."
suho chuckled " hyung .. they had to accept the fact that we stayed in the hands of the last manager .. they know him very well .. I know for sure they will like you .. "
Chen added slinging a hand around Tae's shoulders " they are nice hyung .. actually we are more mature than them most of the Time .. it is just that yifan has intimidating features .. but really .. he is a dork .. while lu han always try to show how manly he is .. and Tao is a baby stuck in a body of a man .. " Tae smiled .. and hoped that they will like him ..

"Hi guys ! finally you came ! oh .. you must be the new manager right ? "
Tae bowed saying "hello .. my name is Lee Tae Kwang .. I am exo's new manager .. nice to meet you "
Luan smiled while letting them in " no need for formalities hyung ! you seem nice .. welcome between us ! "
Tae smiled .. they sat down on the sofa , Kris and Tao came moments later ..
Tao hugged Tae tightly and welcomed him ..
Kris shook his hand and smiled warmly " suho always tell me how good of a manager you are .. I am happy they finally have someone who they deserve .. "
Tae felt warmth spreading in his chest .. and he could feel at ease ..
it was nice .. they kept talking and joking around .. telling stories about their pre debut moments .. and stuff ..
Kris said after a while " kyungsoo .. I bought some snacks .. I will prepare them in dishes while you make some hot chocolate? "
soo smiled nodding his head ..

in the kitchen ~
" he looks nice .. "
Kyung soo who was heating the milk turned to Kris  " the manager ? " Kris nodded
kyungsoo beamed  "yes he is ..he is really nice and kind .. "
Kris put chips in deep dish " I am glad .. now I really feel the burden of thinking about that bastard and what he does for you is removed .. "
kyungsoo said happily " yes "

Once they came back to the others they found Tae trying to choke Baek to death ..
kyungsoo was surprised " I would say that I feel sorry for you Baek .. but I am not .. wow .. what did you do this time ? "
luhan was laughing hard " he acted the way Tae hyung was like in the plane "

after a few hours of more embarrassing moments shared .. xiumin asked " you guys are coming tomorrow to the event right ? "
Kris nodded while sipping from his coca cola can " of course we are ! we will be sitting in the first row behind the idols .. "
suho smiled " good .. "
And the evening went by like that ..

the exo members went back with their manager to the hotel to have enough sleep to be energized for the next day ..
they all slept feeling happy and excited for tomorrow..
