Tell Me What is Love (D.O. Kyungsoo/EXO Fanfic)

Chapter 13: The Celebrity Life

Hey guys :) I know I'm on a roll with the chapters. Please let me know if its too much at once hahah. Anyhow, enjoy :)

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

Following EXO around was a demanding lifestyle. I had to wake up pretty early every morning to go with them for their practice hours. Then I would have to get made up and dressed up to attend their shows later that same day. Sometimes shows would be scheduled right after the other, with little to no time in between for a breather. It required a lot of travelling and rushing to places to get on time. Getting late was unprofessional and untolerated in this business. Then I had to sit through countless interviews, stand long hours during fan meetings and signings, wait during photoshoots, meet other idols and socialize with entertainers, participate in variety shows... 

We would get back to the dorm late at night only to wake back up right away the next morning and do it all over again. I fought against exhaustion and hunger during the day, and praised sleep during the few hours of rest I could get at night. 

I had a taste of the celebrity life. Yes, it was fun but also very draining. And it's only been less than a week, which left me a little more than two more weeks left in Korea.

In the practice room, the members rehearsed their choreographies none-stop multiple times in a row. I watched them execute the moves with force and precision, and how they would effortlessly and fluidly transition between positions as if it were a reflex. I sometimes even wondered why they needed to practice so much if they were already that perfect. 

They took a small break. I went up to them and congratulated them for their awesomeness and hard work. I would sometimes bring them refilled water bottles and fresh towels to wipe themselves. The sweat on their skin made them look even hotter though, I won't hide that. 

To my surprise, The Eve started to play through the speakers. My face lit up and my body jerked. I love that song! It is actually my first favorite song on their new album. I skipped to the middle of the dance floor and put myself in my performance mode. I was excited to show them that I had a little talent too. 

The Beagle line stood on their spots, wondering what I was doing, the dance line stood together and watched me carefully, and Xiumin, Suho and D.O. just looked at each other with question marks in their eyes.

I learned the choreography for The Eve as Kai. Okay, I was nowhere near his ability and caliber, but I got the moves down pretty well just by watching their dance practice video on youtube. As soon as I hit the first few moves of the intro, Sehun and Kai hopped beside me and started dancing. We all peered at each other, smiled and wiggled our eye brows. 

Soon after, Xiumin and Baekhyun joined in and started squatting and body waving to the chorus. Suho went to the front and cackled at us, holding his stomach in pain and clapping his hands like a retarded seal.

Chanyeol and D.O. were still glued on their spots behind us. I noticed them speak to each other. 

Kyungsoo's POV. "Wooh, she really can move, can't she," Chanyeol blurted, "Look at those squats."

I moved a step away from him and glowered at him while he checked my fan out from behind. 

"Don't talk about girls that way, hyung," I spat, "It's degrading and especially talking about ____ like that, it's kinda disturbing." 

Chanyeol stared forward and let out a discret giggle. He really did like to trigger the Satansoo within me. 

"Yah, nongdam-iya, D.O.-ah (I'm just joking)," he nonchalantly replied. 

The duo part of the song was coming up and _____ had no partner. Chanyeol and I took a quick stare at each other and suddenly bolted towards the girl, who was still very absorbed into the choreography. 

Chanyeol arrived at her height first but before he could position himself for the next move and hold her left hand, I hastily seized the happy virus' shirt from behind and shoved him to the side, making him stumble and fall on the ground, upper body first with a loud thud. Wow, I was stronger than I thought. 

Everyone suddenly stopped and gathered on their knees around Chanyeol. His eyes were closed and was not moving. The members tried shaking him by the shoulders and tapping his cheeks, but nothing seemed to work. 

I immediately started to feel bad and remorseful about my actions. 

"Yah, Chanyeol-hyung, I'm sorry," I regretfully said, my voice cracking a little. 

"Chanyeollie-oppa," ____ cried, "It's not funny! Wake up!" 

'What? How come he gets to have a cute nickname and not me? What do I have to do to get one too?' I was a little jealous from that. 

"Someone has to do CPR on him, and fast!" shouted Suho while carrying Chanyeol's head and placing it on his sweater that he laid on the floor. 

"Baekhyun should do it!" Chen yelled while pushing his friend's head towards Chanyeol. 

"Naega wae (why me)?!" Baekhyun screamed in horror while gripping onto Kai's shirt for protection and support to not fall face first on Chanyeol's face.

"I think ____ should do it! Chanyeol-hyung may, uhhh, he may need a true love's kiss to wake up!" Sehun exclaimed while pointing at ____, whose eyes and mouth grew round. "Plus she's a girl, so it won't be awkward." 

I swear to god, if murder was allowed in this country, that child would've perished in my own hands right now. 

I shot back up on my feet faster than a bullet and stormed out of the room, pushing the doors open with a bang against the wall. 

"Don't move, _____!" I commanded, making her jump back, startled.

"Kyungsoo-ah!" called out Xiumin in shock, "Eodiganeungeoya (where are you going)?" I did not answer. 

A few moments later, I barged back into the room only to find the members not having moved a single inch and Chanyeol still laying lifeless on the floor.

"MODUGA YEOP-EULO TTWIEO DEULDA (EVERYONE STEP ASIDE)!" I roared and threw a bucket of ice cold water onto Chanyeol's face and torso. The water came crashing down on him, splashing everyone else in the process. 

Chanyeol suddenly woke up and coughed the excess water out of his body. Then he just sat up on the floor within the puddle, looked at all of us one by one with a stern face... And to everyone's horror, started bursting into a side-splitting and gut-busting laugh. 

"HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! I GOT YOU ALL, AHAHAHAAA!! YOU SHOULD SEE THE LOOK ON YOUR FACES, AHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

I was pissed and astonished, and so were the others. Suho and Xiumin pushed him on the shoulders and shook their heads. Sehun and Kai sighed in disappointment. Chen breathed out in relief and hugged Baekhyun, who started snickering as well. 

"Chanyeol-ah!" Suho ordered with his serious and "scary" umma voice, "You're grounded! You'll be cleaning our dorm's bathrooms for one, no TWO months starting now!" 

"You little freak," Xiumin observed, "Don't scare us like that again."

_____ scooted towards Chanyeol and gave him a suffocating hug. 

"You're such a good actor, huh?" she joked while ruffling his damp hair. "You scared the living hell out of me. I thought I was really gonna have to do CPR on you." She laughed nervously and blushed as she tucked some hair behind her ear. 

"Well that wouldn't have hurt," Chanyeol boasted flirtatiously to her. 

I groaned internally and took a deep breath before kneeling back down. 

"If you wanna dance together, why don't you just say so next time?" I muttered under my breath, but somehow Sehun heard me because I caught him staring at me with a quizzical expression. End POV.
