I'm His... Makeup artist and Stylist

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Errors ahead!

It's time for EXO's Run and as far as I can remember, this was one EXO's happy-go-lucky song. I've seen them perform this for a few times already when I was still working for them and I can't deny the fact that the inner me secretly jumps to the beat of the song. 

We were able to help 8 fans tonight. We also distributed water to all the fans inside the coliseum - us plus the staffs all helped to ensure that everyone was safe. 

Everybody was so pumped up including us. We grabbed the lightsticks given to us and waved it into the air as the rest of the EXO-Ls and EXO sang Run. It was so fun; the colors, the song, and the vibe. 

I wish the song was longer but yeah, things must end at some point.

It was time for Angel, EXO's last song. Just before they sang it, they had their last ment for the concert. I noticed that Chanyeol, Kai and Chen weren't onstage yet. Suho mentioned that they were still in the backstage for some reasons.

I was really in the urge to go to the bathroom to pee. 

"Janice! I really need to pee. Where's the bathroom here?" I asked while trying my feet was getting clumsy, I was like dancing the chacha  just to control my pee.

"Oh, I saw a restroom sign just right at the big door going to the backstage." Janice replied without looking at me. She was too concentrated on listening to the EXO members' ment. Thankfully, the EXO-Ls remained safe so we were given the chance to also enjoy the concert for a while.

I tried my best to walk normally on the way to the backstage. 

"Excuse me." 

"Excuse me."

I still managed to say 'excuse me' despite of the echoing voices of the members' around the arena as I tried to pass the maze going to the backstage.

I was looking on the ground to make sure that I don't step on someone else's foot.

I reached the backstage stage; two big doors and bright white lights. I tried run but at the same time walk since I couldn't really control it. The backstage was a maze, a needed to think twice if I should go to left or to the right. But thankfully, after 6 minutes, I managed to find the women's bathroom.

Sighs of relief.

Even though I was in the bathroom which was probably quite far from the stage, I could hear all the cheers and screams of the audience. I guess EXO were making jokes since they were all laughing.

While I was taking my time in the bathroom, I remembered the day when EXO filmed for a variety show and they were all being casual, showing their dorky and fun sides. 

Those wore moments I surely miss.

I got out of my cubicle. Oh, my hair's messy. I fixed myself; I washed my face, got rid of the oil and sweat on my face and in my arms, and applied a little lip tint to me to look less pale. 

I stared at myself for a while before. Today was such a long day. I still had no enough sleep and eat yet.

Whoooh, a few more hours then you can finally have a nice sleep.

Don't. Think. About. Him.

I took one last look at myself in the mirror before heading outside. While I made my way out of the backstage back to our stations, I checked my phone for messages. There were some so I decided to reply to some of them.

"Ouch!" 

I immediately stopped walking after I bumped into someone. 

"Gwaenchana? Ehhh, I am sorry!" It was a man. Probably because of his voice. Deep voice.

I even managed to touch my temple before looking up at him to ease the pain. My head hit a metallic object, probably a necklace which really did hurt a lot that I had to close me eyes. 

He held my shoulders to check if I'm okay. 

"Ye-yes. I-I'm fine." I stuttered, still eyes closed. He still hasn't let go of my shoulders. 

After awhile, I felt quite fine so I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him. 

"It's my fault. I should have been more care-" 

Chanyeol's face was close to mine, since he tried to check if I was fine. I didn't know what I felt but all the memories and the feelings rushed in.  My childhood friend.

That was the my first encounter with him after three, long, busy years. I never thought that this day would come, that I would be seeing him again now that we're both successful in our own fields.

"Irene." He was shocked too, to see me. But then, a smile formed on his lips while I, on the other hand, felt guilty of leaving him before.

"Hey, meet me after the concert." He said in a reassuring tone. "I need to go, the concert's about to end." 

"Oh, su-sure." He went away even before I was able to reply. The members were already looking for him and the staffs were shouting for his name everywhere.

I went back to my station with mixed feelings. I could see Chanyeol - he was suddenly so hyped and happy. He was being the happy virus.

Tell me that I'm assuming but I think it's because of me.  Aigoo, Park Chanyeol - I missed you.
