Saved By The Boys (EXO FanFiction)

Chapter 1 - Audition

Soyeon's P.O.V
I walked shyly up the stairs to the front door of SM Entertainment. I was extremely nervous. I didn't actually want to do this, I mean, I would love to, but I didn't have the courage. Hence it was not myself who had made the application form. It was my best friend. Ex-best friend. The message I had gotten before my friend left was; "See ya later in a few years when you become a star". That note had been together with my application form for an audition for SM Ent.
I sighed loudly before I opened the two glass doors which made the entrance to the SM building. I was shocked on how normal everything seemed. I had expected seeing idols running around in the corridors all day, but the room where as silent as a carpet.
I gave the counter lady my application, and she gestured me to walk inside a door on her right. I didn't know what I expected from the audition room, but definitely not this: People running around, dancing, singing and shouting. I reckoned the corner of the room was good enough for me, so I sat down, and started mumbling my song. It wasn't my song, but I liked it so much that my ex-friend had renamed it "Soyeon's song".

A high voice scared me and took me out of my daydreams and practice. A man, who looked like a CEO or something, snapped everyone to reality, and all heads where directed at him.
"For today's audition we had a sudden emergency, so we had to change judges," the man announced with an even louder voice.
"Today's special judges will be someone the company has created. Yes, a group. It is a quite popular group nowadays, and I hope you can take this as a chance to prove yourself not only as a singer, but as an artist." People started clapping. My face snapped around the room in confusion. A group? A boy group? Girl group? Was it Super Junior, or maybe SNSD? No, they were way to popular to be judges in this kind of audition. Then maybe... SHINee? F(x)? I didn't concentrate on the man anymore, and failed to notice 12 handsome boys walking inside the room.
"We are one! Annyeonghaseyo, EXO imida!" The sound of the boys made me snap back to reality.
Of course, I thought to myself. EXO! I had heard of them before. My ex-friend liked them, but I never really got to much into them, even though I liked their songs. It was just too many guys in one group, for me.
The boys in EXO smiled to the people who suddenly had gathered around them. One of the guys took a step forward and smiled while saying:
"My name is Suho, and I am the leader of EXO. We will be your judges today. Please don't mind us at all, and just do your best. Fighting!" He said, holding up both his fists. The other members looked embarrassed and annoyed at their leader.

The auditions started, and people started going up to the little stage that they had set up. EXO was seated a couple of meters in front, and examined the performances carefully. After each performance was done, EXO would ask the person to go outside. After a while, the crowd started to decrease, and suddenly there was no one else in the room except for me.
I came forward to the stage, and introduced myself politely.
"Hello, my name is Lee Soyeon." A guy who had a huge smile on his face looked at me and said:
"What will you sing for us Soyeon?
Another guy, who had black hair, stopped me from talking.
"What is wrong with your hair?" The leader, Suho, smacked the guy on his shoulders.
"Chanyeol, stop it." He said sternly. He noticed that I bent my head down, looking at the floor, blushing slightly.
"Don't mind him. He is just jealous of your pretty hair color," he said, making me smile. I knew that I had a special hair color. It was ash blonde, and wavy, the total opposite of a stereotyped Asian person. I didn't know why I had this hair color. My uncle had always taken care of me after my parents died, so I didn't know if I had this color from my birth, even thought that was what my uncle had told me before.
I smiled at Suho and he smiled back, which made me blush.
"So, which song are you going to sing?" The guy with the huge grin asked for the second time. This time, I got to answer.
"Taeyeon sunbaenim's "Closer"," I said, and took a note of myself slightly shaking. The guy gestured for me to start.
When the music started playing, all my memories from my past, my friend who disappeared, my deceased parents and my uncle ran away after five intense years of taking care of me, started building up inside me. I wanted to cry, but held it in. I couldn't cry on my audition in front of EXO.
Then I started singing. The soft tones floated in the air, making EXO relax by the sound of it.
Then the high note came. I managed it barely, but I was inches to fail, and EXO noticed that. They were paying attention a lot more now.
I swallowed, and suddenly the lyrics in my head disappeared. I couldn't remember the lyrics anymore. I stopped singing and stared at one exact point on the floor. I was inches to start crying. Chanyeol made an evil grin.
"Gwenchana?" Suho said, but I couldn't say anything. I had failed. I knew it. A tear almost escaped my tear ducts.
Suho gestured for the music to stop, and came on the stage towards me. He gave me a reassuring smile.
"It's okay," he said, while holding onto my shoulder. The tear that threatened to escape went down my cheek. Suho gave me a slight hug, and said:
"Do you wanna try again?" I knew that if I was about to sing now, it would just make everything worse, so I shook my head. Suho went back to his seat beside Chanyeol and another guy. The guy that smiled to me earlier gave me a thumbs up, and the rest of the EXO members smiled to me. (Except Chanyeol) I then bowed politely and went outside.

After a while, all the people who had auditioned, was called inside again. I hid myself behind some taller girls, but somehow the nice looking guy with the smile, found me in the crowd, and waved to me from afar.
I waved, but then stopped and looked at the floor. I stared intensely at the floor the entire time, before Suho stepped forward.
"Today, we saw many, many talents. It was a tough decision to choose only the best of you, but we managed. Now we are going to call each name, and if your name is said, you can go through that door," he stopped for a second, and gestured to a door, "and those who does not get picked, will have to leave the SM building immediately." He took a deep breath. I could see that he and his members were kinda nervous. I found the recognizable face of the smiling guy, and smiled at him. He noticed and gave his killer smile back. I looked down immediately, blushing.
"The first person to be picked is Alicia Williams, from Australia," Suho announced, and a happy Alicia went in the door Suho said. Five more people got picked, among them, three girls. I could feel myself struggling to breath properly. I really needed the money from this. I had to be picked.
"The last one to be picked is Kim Sa Rang, from Busan."
I could feel my world shattering, and tears started streaming down my cheek as I ran out of the audition room. I ran and hid myself in a corner inside the SM building. I had ran for a really long time so I had no idea where I were.
I buried my face on my knees while hugging my legs.

I felt something on my shoulder. A hand, to be specific. A finger tapped me on my arm. I didn't look up to see who it was.
"Are you ok?" A concerned voice said.
I didn't know who it was, but I could feel his wide smile smiling down at me from above.
