사랑 참 어렵다 (Love is hard)

Chapter Nine

The next few days passed in a blur and suddenly it was Friday. I woke up to my alarm blaring and quickly got up. I made sure to take extra time getting ready, after all it was the Exo concert tonight. Tonight, was the night I was going to meet Kai...and the rest of Exo. It was a pretty exciting matter.

"Morning Dohee," I waved as I walked back into the room.

"Hey," Dohee looked up from her desk.

"Make sure you dress extra cute today. The Exo concert it tonight, you never know who you'll meet," I winked.

"Oh right," Dohee nodded, standing and walking towards the closet, "You excited?"

"Definitely!" I grinned widely, "I finally get to meet all of Chen oppa's friends."

"You mean Kai oppa?" Dohee smirked at me.

"You caught me," I blushed, "I mean I'm excited to meet all of them but mostly Kai oppa."

"He's super nice," Dohee spoke, "I think you'll get along well."

"Ugh I'm so jealous you have a class with him," I groaned, flopping onto my bed.

"Shoulda been a dance major," Dohee shrugged.

"So not in my set of skills," I laughed, "I'll stick with making the music you dance to."

"Seems like a good deal to me," Dohee agreed. She pulled out some clothes and headed towards the bathroom, "Hey I'll see you after classes."

"See you!" I waved, standing up and grabbing my bag before walking out the door and to my composing class. Suho oppa, D.o oppa and I were finishing up our song today seeing as it was due by 5 that night.

"Heesooah!" Suho called, pulling me into his arms for a hug, "I missed you!"

"I saw you on Wednesday," I laughed.

"But that was so long ago," Suho whined.

"You're cute," I rolled my eyes, laughing harder. D.o shook his head in embarrassment and groaned.

"Let's just work on the music," D.o poked me, "And Suho hyung stop whining about missing Heesoo."

"Yes sir!" I saluted D.o before throwing a wink his way.

"You're coming to the concert tonight?" Suho asked.

"Of course," I nodded, "It's my first Exo concert! I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Sweet," D.o cheered.

"Anyways, I wrote lyrics," I pulled out a paper with lyrics, "What do you guys think?"

The boys took the paper from me and began to read, smiles growing on their faces.

"Heesoo, this is amazing," Suho told me.

"Agreed," D.o nodded, "Let's get to recording this."

Each of us took our turn in the recording booth recording out parts of the song. Class was just ending as D.o finished his part. We each parted our ways to go to our next class. I made my way to my math class, running into Chen and Baekhyun along the way. Baekhyun cheered in delight and ran up to me, picking me up and spinning me around.

"Oppa," I squealed. Baekhyun put me down and linked arms with both him and Chen, "Are you guys ready for the concert tonight?"

"Yep," Chen nodded, "Are you ready to meet Kai tonight?"

"Oppa," I blushed, hiding my face in Chen's shoulder.

"Wait," Baekhyun pulled me to a stop, "What about Kai?"

"Kai is her bias," Chen laughed.

"Oppa!" I protested, trying to cover his mouth as he danced away his eyes shining with mischievous delight.

"She's had a thing for him ever since we debuted," Chen continued, "And she's been wanting to meet him forever. You should hear her talk about him after a music video comes out."

"Hajima!" I yelled, chasing Chen around as laughed. Baekhyun grabbed me from behind, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Continue Jondgae!" Baehyun cheered.

"She's always like, oh my gosh he's so attractive," Chen started using a high-pitched voice, "He dances so well! He's so great and wonderful! And he seems so funny and nice. I think I love him!"

"Oppa if you keep talking I'll tell everyone about the Halloween costumes," I threatened.

Chen stopped dead in his tracks, looking at me, "You wouldn't."

"I will if you say anything else," I told him.

"Wait, what about Halloween costumes," Baekhyun asked, letting me go.

"Heesoo," Chen warned, "Please don't."

"Promise not to say anything else about Kai oppa," I rose an eyebrow, holding out my hand.

"Promise," Chen groaned, shaking my hand.

"Wait no, I wanna know," Baekhyun whined.

"I know nothing," I shrugged, "Let's go we're going to be late for class."

The rest of the day went by slowly, which made sense for a day that I was so excited for. Finally, it was time to go and Dohee and I made our way to the arena the concert would be in. Chen being the great best friend he is got us both backstage passes so we headed there first.

Kai's POV

The door to the backstage area opened and I heard the boys around me cheer two different names, Dohee and Heesoo. I turned and saw Dohee, from my dance class walking in with another girl. A girl who I assumed was Heesoo. I could only see part of her face and I craned my neck to see the rest. And that's when she turned, our eyes connected and I swear in that moment time stopped. She was beautiful. Her eyes were a light hazel color, a color uncommon to see on many Koreans. And they were alive with laughter and joy. Her full, pink lips lifted into a smile making my heart skip a beat. I watched as Chen walked over to the girl and pulled her into a hug. He seemed like he knew her well. That's when it dawned on me. This was Heesoo. THE Heesoo. The one he's been talking about for the past two years. Holy crap.

"Everybody!" Chen called out, "This is Heesoo, the friend I've been telling you about."

"Annyeong everyone," Heesoo smiled brightly and waved. She gestured to Dohee and spoke again, "This is my friend Dohee."

"Annyeong," Dohee waved as well. We all waved in response and made our way over to introduce ourselves to the girls.

"Hey Dohee," I smiled, walking up to her.

"Annyeong," Dohee replied.

"Uh...Heesoo..." I paused, "She's your friend, right?"

"Yes," Dohee nodded slowly.

"Right she said that," I shook my head, "Well...do you think...maybe...you could..."

"Oh go talk to her," Done groaned, pushing me towards Heesoo. Heesoo looked up when I stumbled in front of her and smiled, my heart skipping a beat again.

"Uh annyeong," I finally spoke.

"Annyeong," Heesoo replied, her eyes twinkling.

"I'm Jongin," I stuck my hand out.

"I know," Heesoo giggled before brushing my hand away and wrapping her arms around my neck, "I don't like handshakes. And nice to finally meet you."

❤❤❤

Um yes...Heesoo finally met Kai...if only that could happen to me...until next time...사랑해! ❤❤
