Saved By The Boys (EXO FanFiction)

Chapter 2 - Bullied

Chen's P.O.V

I was on my way back to EXO's practice room when I heard someone crying. I looked around for a while, trying to figure out where the sound came from.

I just rounded a corner when I saw the girl from earlier sitting on the floor, hugging her legs while crying. Soyeon. I couldn't help but sigh. My heart ached seeing a girl cry. As I approached her, I caught myself staring at her hair. I had to admit, it was beautiful. It was different for an Asian girl to have blonde hair, but it was definitely pretty.

She was still whimpering when I tapped her on her shoulder. She didn't look up.

"Are you ok?" I said, but she didn't answer. I was confused for a second, but then tapped her again, this time a little harder, making her freeze on the spot. She then looked up at me, with tears in her eyes. I knelt down beside her and smiled a reassuring smile.

Soyeon's P.O.V

When I looked to see who it was that had tapped me on my arm, I was surprised to see the smiling guy from earlier stand in front of me looking worried. He knelt down beside me, and smiled. My heart skipped a beat, but I managed to contain my expression. I didn't smile back.

"My name is Chen. I'm in EXO. Do you remember me from earlier?" He said it in a gentle tone, like he was talking to a kid, which made me want to giggle. Instead, I nodded. I saw him hesitate, then he said:

"You know... All the people who didn't pass the audition had to leave immediately." After he said that, it was dead quiet. I felt tears welling up again in my eyes. I couldn't go home, but I couldn't tell him why. He would probably think I auditioned because of that, which is partly true. Then, I cried. I felt Chen's strong arms embrace me, whispering that is was going to be ok.

After I had cried, Chen said:

"You were really good at the audition. I mean it. Everyone can make mistakes. All the EXO members liked your voice." The last thing he said made my heart skip a beat. Liked. Past tense. EXO had liked me, but I screwed up my chance by forgetting the lyrics.

"You better go home soon before one of the guards see you and throw you out," Chen said, making me shiver. He noticed that but didn't say anything. I knew I had to tell him, or else I would end up in a really difficult position. I braced myself and spoke up.

"Chen, I..." My voice trailed off. Chen sat beside me, waiting patiently for me to continue.

"Chen, I can't go home."

Chen's P.O.V

I was shocked. Did I just hear what he thought I heard? I looked sideways at Soyeon, who shivered like she just saw a ghost. I took off my jacket and placed it around her carefully. She gave me a thankful smile. My heart skipped a beat.

"Why can't you... Go home?" I said, trying hard not to sound curious. I heard her sigh loudly, before she said:

"My parents... And my uncle... My friend... They are gone... I don't know if they will ever come back. I can't pay the house rent because I don't have a job. I am alone. No one cares about me, and I just... I just..." I felt my chest tighten by her words. I hugged her, and mentally cursed myself for not convincing the other EXO members to let her pass the audition, despite what happened. I let her out of the hug, and exclaimed happily, trying to cheer her up.

"Since you don't have a place to stay, then why don't you stay with us?" My instincts told me that Suho hyung would curse me to death if I took a girl to our dorm, but I couldn't let Soyeon be alone without a place to stay. I just couldn't do that to a girl. I saw the hesitation in her eyes, but then she said, smiling:

"Okay."

Soyeon's P.O.V

I was happy. I found a place to stay. The only thing that bothered me were this:

1. Was I sleeping in the same house as 12 boys?

2. What would the other EXO members say to me sleeping in their dorm?

3. Why did it feel like Chen was taking care of me? (Not that I didn't like it)

Chen sat up, and stretched his hand to me. I took it, and gave him his jacket back. He started walking, and I trailed behind him.

"Let's go the our practice room first. I need to clear up something with Suho hyung," Chen said, and I just followed him obediently.

When we reached the practice room, every single pair of eyes were directed at us. Most of them were shocked that Chen brought a girl, and the rest were showing disbelief. Suho stepped forward.

"Chen, what are you doing?" He said, looking Chen in the eyes.

"Let's go out to talk, hyung," Chen said, gesturing Suho to go outside the practice room with him. They went.

I was alone with 10 guys staring at me. I felt extremely uncomfortable, and prayed silently that Chen would come back soon.

"What, couldn't you find your way home?" A voice from the back of the room said, and I searched the room looking for the owner of the voice. Of course. Chanyeol. Some of the boys nudged Chanyeol, but he didn't care.

"What? I just wondered why in the world she is here in OUR practice room!" Chanyeol exclaimed angrily, making me more nervous. I caught a sight at Chen still debating with Suho, and sighed. I shouldn't have done that.

"Did you just sigh at me, you little!..." Chanyeol came towards me. To my shock he didn't stop as I expected him to, but he went straight forward with me walking backwards, and in the end, pinned me to the wall. I heard the other members gasp in shock.

Chanyeol held both of my arms above me, making it impossible for me to escape.

"Don't you have something to say to me, brat?" Chanyeol said and kicked my leg slightly with his, but not too hard.

"Stop it Chanyeol," a guy said, but he didn't listen to him. He continued pinning me to the wall.

"Well?" He said.

"I'm sorry!" I said half heartedly.

"I didn't hear you," he said, and kicked my leg again, this time with more force.

"I'm sorry!" I almost screamed. As the words were said, he let me go, and walked to the back of the room. I lost all of my spirits and sank to the ground, crying loudly. The guy from earlier who asked Chanyeol to stop, stepped forward and knelt in front of me.

"It's okay, he is always jealous of people who are more good looking than himself," the guy said, but it didn't make me any happier. I heard Chanyeol scoff in the background.

"I'm D.O, but you can just call me Dyo if you want to," he said, making me smile a little. Dyo was just the cutest name I had ever heard.

At that time, Suho and Chen came inside the practice room. Everyone were dead quiet except for me who was still crying, and Dyo who tried to comfort me. Chen ran to me.

"What happened?" He said worried. Dyo shook his head.

"Chanyeol," Dyo said, and as on cue, Suho went to Chanyeol and dragged him with him outside. They could hear Suho scolding Chanyeol big time.

I had stopped crying, but I didn't dare to show my face. I were afraid. I couldn't sleep in the same dorm as that guy. Never.

"It is going to be okay. Chen is here," Chen said, and by those words, I felt secured.

A/N: Thank you again for reading. Was this chapter exciting? I was really excited writing it. It took me at least 1 1/2 hour to write it, but I think it was worth it.

What do you think of Chen being the guy that helped Soyeon and flashed smiles?

On another hand, what do you think of (ma babey) D.O being added to the story?

What kind of role do you think Suho is going to have later in the story? (Just wondering)

Who do you think should win Soyeon's heart? (xD)

Till next time, seeya!
