EXO IMAGINES

Kris

You were led to your dorm. Before you could ask anymore questions, your guide left you. Alone.

You were hired recently by SM to take care of EXO's needs. Moving to South Korea just weeks ago, you were asked to take this job since you've worked with a few celebrities before.

"You have experience. Don't worry if you can't understand them. Just do what they ask. And there's a member named Kris who can speak English so you won't be terribly lost."

You needed a job so you decided to give it a try.

"Annyeonghaseyo noona!!" A boy greeted you with a smile. You took a crash course of Korean so you knew some of what he was saying. "Noona?" You thought. "I'm only 20. Maybe most of their previous caretakers were a lot older."

"Jeonuen noona? Aniyo!" You tried to explain. You shook your head and the boy didn't understand.

"Igeout mwoeyo?"

You saw a tall blonde boy speak to the other boy. They conversed in Korean and you just stood there...like an idiot.

"You must be _____. Hi, I'm Kris." He stool out his hand. "English!! Praise The Lord!" You thought to yourself.

"Yes, I am. Nice to meet you, Kris." You shook his hand as Kris introduced the other boy as Sehun. He was the youngest member and now it made sense that he called you noona.

"Come in," Kris said as he ushered you inside. He took your suitcase and shut the door. Holy. Crap. The place was a mess.

"Sorry. Boys. You know..." He laid the suitcase down by a bed and walked away.

There was someone playing with a rubix cube on the carpet. You tried not to talk to him for you would have no idea what to say.

You tried to search for another room or something. Is the company really putting you with a group of boys? That's so dumb!

You gave up and sat on the bed Kris laid the suitcase next to.

"Annyeonghaseyo. Jeonuen Luhanibnida," the Rubix Cube Boy stuck out his hand.

"Je irumeun ______eyo?" You question yourself, but you shook his hand anyway. He looked at you a little funny but he didn't seem mean.

Sehun and Luhan then started to ask you questions. You stared at them blankly.

"Mwo? Jeosonghabnida! Jeonun..." You pointed to yourself. "Hanguk saram... aniyo..." You made an 'X' with your arms. You started to hate this job already. Why did your parents have to make you study abroad? They kept trying to get you to answer but you didn't know what to do.

"Hwajiangsil!!!" You cried.

"Jeogi!" Rubix Cube Boy pointed to the left. You hurriedly ran to a door. You opened it and rushed inside. Closing the door, you breathed heavily and combed your fingers through your hair. You can't take this any more. You look up to see Kris, half naked, with a towel wrapped around his waist. He had a surprised facial expression. You yelped as you ran outside. The two members laughed. You heard one say something to another. You heard 'babo' and you knew it meant 'stupid'. They were calling you stupid.

You ran out the dorm and started crying. Not knowing where to go, you took random turns and corners until you found a rusty door and opened it. A balcony. You rushed outside for some fresh air.

"Why am I even doing this?" You sobbed. "I can't even use the bathroom. I got called stupid and got made fun of by people I don't even know. Mom, I miss you. I hate this country!!!" Your tears made you felt lonely. You collapsed by the metal bars and looked out. It was night, but there were no stars. The sky was gloomy and the moon was covered by the clouds. That didn't help. You wiped your tears and sniffed.

"It was hard for me at first, too." You jerked your head toward the voice. Kris. He sat by you and handed you some juice. He sat with one leg out and the other bent, resting his elbow on his knee. He looks-

"I'm not cool," he said, reading your mind. "I try to act like a cool guy a lot though. I'm a leader of the sub group EXO-M. I usually have a lot of things going on, but I don't show it. My mom called me last night and I talked to her. I miss her so much." He took a pause before continuing. "Learning Korean was hard for me. Grammar and everything. It's almost nothing like English, but I promise I'll teach you," he said.

"You're a soft guy at heart then?" You asked, drinking the juice. He smelled nice and his hair was wet from the shower.

"Shhh," he gave you a smile. "You must not tell. You look smart so you'll learn Korean in no time."

"Hopefully," you said looking up at the sky.

"The boys told me you ran out after they said something. I think you must have mistaken. They were talking about me, not you. They called me stupid cause I left the door unlocked. Luhan and Sehun only wanted to know you better. They didn't know they were annoying you."

You felt reassured. You turned to see Kris giving you a thumbs up.

"Well then, you're my guardian from here on out, Mr. Kris!" You told him.

"Haha I thought you were suppose to be our caretaker."

"Psh. Boys like you guys are so spoiled."

"That's only what you think. People from all the world think we're adorable. And you're here complaining!"

"Hey!" You tried to smack him but he blocked it with his arm.

"I'm telling the manager!" He joked.

"Yeah right! Whatever!" You laughed. Whatever troubles you had before suddenly disappeared as Kris and you talked and laughed through the night. You were so caught up in your conversation that you didn't notice the moon had come out from beneath the clouds and the stars began twinkling as if they were winking at the two of you.
