Hey guys :) The story is moving along, I hope you like it so far. Enjoy the next parts :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D.O. escorted me to the van. Sehun, Kai and Baekhyun sat in the last row, Chen, Xiumin and Suho were on the first bench, and I was sandwiched between Chanyeol and D.O. in the middle row. My heart was beating so fast I swore they could hear it. The driver took his seat and slowly drove away from JYP's area.

"So, _____-ah," said the leader, "where are we dropping you off to?" 

"I stay at the Tmark Grand in Myeongdong. But please, I don't want to burden any of you, and I know you all need to head back home safely, so I can just go on my way back alone," I said with guilt expressed in my voice.

"Ani (No)!" Kai shouted, "You can't go home, we still haven't eaten supper yet! My stomach is eating itself... Baegopayo (I'm hungry)," he whined while grabbing his belly.

"Yah, would you stop thinking about your stomach for once," hollered Baekhyun while smacking the younger on the head.

"Please excuse Kai, he's not himself when he's hungry," sighed Suho, "I thought I raised him better than that."

"Suho-hyung, we should all go out together for dinner before heading to our dorm," Chanyeol offered. "I'm sure _____-ah is quite hungry by now, and we need to shut Kai up anyways."

Kyungsoo's POV. 'Or we could go back straight to the dorm so I can cook for her... Uhh, I mean all of us,' I corrected myself. Good thing I didn't say that out loud, Kai would've been jealous and the others would've teased me for who knows how long. End POV.

"Let's go to Viva Pollo!" exclaimed the rest of the members. "It will be perfect for her."

"But, I don't want you guys to get in trouble with the media, please just drop me off at the subway and I'll-" I pleaded, only to get hushed by Chanyeol. 

"No, we can't let you get back to Myeongdong alone in the dark, it can be dangerous," he voiced. "Anyway it's past closing hours now, so we will have the restaurant all to ourselves."

"Plus, the restaurant is really close to Tmark, so dropping ____-ah off will be a no-brainer," boasted Xiumin.

"That sounds like a great plan," Suho smiled, "But remember guys, keep it lowkey. We don't want any paparrazzis showing up unexpectedly."

As much as I wanted to admit that I was blissed and euphoric that all this was happening, I didn't want EXO to get in any sort of public disturbance. I also wanted to protect my identity. 

***

Viva Pollo was Chanyeol's mom's restaurant, which I was planning on going to during my trip. The menu offered a variety of Italian recipes, ranging from pasta, pizza, risotto, and salad, as well as having some Korean food, recommended and hand-written by Chanyeol on the menu. I was thankful that there were English translations on it, but I could always just point at what I wanted in case there were none. The cozy restaurant's walls were covered with Chanyeol's photos, from baby pictures to his adulthood. Drawings and fanart from fans all across the globe decorated the rest of the space, and in one corner were EXO's real autographs on a poster. There was really no heavenlier place than this for fans to eat. 

Sehun and Chen pulled the blinds down while Kai and D.O. ran straight to the kitchen. Suho was in a corner conversating with their manager once more, explaining the situation to him and reassuring him that everything was under control. Baekhyun assisted Xiumin to set up a table for ten people, including the driver. Chanyeol stayed by me and took me for a tour around his restaurant. The tall member seemed proud and happy to show me around. He explained how his mother worked hard with the restaurant and how many fans would wait countless hours outside in the heat, the cold or even under the rain and snow to get a seat. He also said that receiving gifts from all his international fans too warmed his heart and motivated him day by day.

Kyungsoo's POV. 'Chanyeol-hyung really knows his way around with _____. He looks like a natural... But she's MY fan. I mean, I'm supposed to be the one with her right now, not him.' I watched him lead her to his pictures and making her laugh. I felt a little something in my stomach, but couldn't describe the feeling. I took a last glance at them and headed for the refrigerator. Kai already took out most of the leftovers and was close to devouring all of them.

"Yah, nameoji uliege namgyeojuseyo (Hey, leave some for the rest of us)!" I yelled. "Help me put these on plates and heat them up." 

Kai obeyed. I went on to evenly separate portions of each side dish on the plates. I payed special care to ____'s plate, I wanted hers to look pretty. I put some spaghetti on it, grated some cheese and sprinkled some spices on top. She would be having a little taste of my cooking skills. 

We soon brought the plates to the main dining room. 

"The food is ready!" the members yelled and sat down around the table. 

It smelled and looked delicious although most of the food were leftovers that Mrs. Park packed for us separately in case we came back late from practice or a show.

The youngest boys stuffed their faces with pizza, Xiumin and Chen feasted on the spaghetti they shared, Baekhyun only cared for his risotto, and Chanyeol looked at nothing but his lasagna. I took the chance to scoot closer to ____.

"Are you enjoying your spaghetti?" I timidly asked, "I prepared it for you."  

"Yes, D.O.-oppa, thank you very much, it's delicious," She beamed at me, which made me blush. I was the first and only one she reffered to as "oppa" since we met. I felt honored. End POV.

We continued to eat silently for a few minutes when Suho suddenly spoke up. 

"So, I've discussed with manager-hyung a while ago." Everyone lifted their heads from their plates and payed attention to him. "He said that since we were pretty much already engaged in something were not supposed to be doing by bringing a fan along with us, we should just go ahead and bring her us with for the rest of our promotion."

The others looked thrilled and bewildered at once, while I almost chocked on my food and nearly stopped breathing. 

"W-WHAT?" I exclaimed in disbelief. "W-what do you mean?"

"It means that you'll be our guest," said Baekhyun.

"Yaay we're going to have a girl around the house," cheered Kai and Sehun.

"This means that you will be staying with us in our dorm and following us during our shows, interviews, and all that jazz," continued Chanyeol with a bright grin.

"But my hotel..." I hesitated, but was interrupted by Chen.

"Don't worry, ____-ah, Suho-hyung has it all covered." He nudged the leader by the elbow and the latter simply pulled out a black credit card from his wallet and waved it lightly in the air as if it were nothing. Freankin' $uho, bruuh. LOL.

"We'll finish up supper, head to your hotel to pick up your things and take care of the payment and all, then you'll be coming back with us to our dorm," Suho stated.

"You're one lucky girl indeed, _____-ah," Chanyeol remarked as he winked at me.

"Don't worry, my dear," D.O. reassured as he patted my hand, "You'll be safe and have lot's of fun."

'I can't believe this is happening, there's no way this could be real, what the hell, someone pinch me...'

I was feeling an explosion of excitement and glee, but nervousness and confusion all at the same time. Was I in a dream? No, absolutely not. All this was really happening. All my fangirling, dreaming, and fantasizing moments paid off after all. I am going to spend the rest of my vacation with EXO. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world, but deep inside hoped everything would sail smoothly.
