Fallen [o.sh]

Hair flipped wildly over the sound of music as it echoes through the room. Feet stomp fiercely as we practice on early Saturday morning, I flutter across the room smirking at the groans of my teammates as the music drops a beat. For a moment there was only the ticking of the clock and the sound of my heart in my chest until my manager unexpectedly barges in.

"Minji, Lee Soo Man wants to see you at his office. Quickly! He's waiting." My manager looked worn out as she repeatedly looks over at her phone, trying to plaster on a smile.

I sighed. Quickly, I run over to grab my water bottle from the benches before following my manager, who's anxiety seems to be exploding out of her ears. The CEO's office was always too far so I would always have to run there to be on time. I hurriedly ran through the hallway where I unexpectedly bumped into a wall.

"Minji-ahh? Are you in a hurry?" A husky-voiced male asked, who noticed my heavy breathing.

A wall could also apparently speak. I swallowed my pride and stared up to the face of Chanyoel towering over me, who seemed to be worried about how my breathing is not at its usual state, totally not a wall.

"Oh, mianhae," I squeaked out politely before bowing, "I'm sorry for bumping into you, did I spill something? I'll help you clean it up but I-, no I mean, Lee Soo Man- nim requested to see me so I can't but uh" I gave out a nervous giggle frustrated at my choice of words while finding my old worn out sneakers fascinating for once.

"Oh! No, you didn't spill anything but you shouldn't keep him waiting ." Chanyoel suggested, holding up his drink.

" I should go... see you later then?" I didn't hear a reply as I got pulled by my manager who led us as we both scrambled ourselves right into the hallway to the way of the office.

"Do you know why I have been called?" I nervously bit my lips, overanalysing every detail that I have been doing as I pace around in front of the office door.

"Minji, relax, you are a great artist, a great singer! If anything I think that they want to promote you to something bigger!" My manager gave me a little wink in the end as she knocked on the door.

I enter, holding my breath as I see a familiar face; Sehun Sunbaenim, a member of EXO was leaning on the desk while speaking with the CEO. My eyes widened at the sight, my thoughts screamed for me to cry out for him; wanting him to sign a picture or give me an autograph or something though that train of thoughts was interrupted as they both turned around while the door creaked out, slapping the wall shut. I squeaked in surprise when he turned back to me and frowned.

" Anneyounghaseyo" I muttered as I bow to Sehun and Lee Soo Man with respect then quickly cuddled myself on the leather chair, reminding myself that I must be shown as a respectable and mature person since this might be a big opportunity for me.

The awkward tension lingered in the air as I felt their stares at me as I gave an uneasy smile, I opened my mouth as if I was going to say something but thought better of it so I continued to be studied by him as I flush with embarrassment.

"CEO-nim why have we been called here?" Sehun glancing away for a second or two giving a breath to exhale.

"You and Minji will be on the cover Elle's new magazine." Lee Soo Man raised his brows as Sehun stood up to reject the offer. "Elle specifically asked for fresh faces. So after many, many, many meetings about this, we have all decided that you two are qualified for this task."

"Lee soo man nim, In all, I would love to be in the magazine with Minji but I've got a packed schedule for the next 6 months and I'm sure Minji does as well" Sehun spoke up but was cut off in the middle of speaking.

" The photoshoot would be next week, I am also well aware that Mama is coming up so Minji will be performing a new song titled "Into you" along with you, Sehun so please get this done as quickly as possible; you may now go back to your schedules."

My manager popped up behind me as she reads off my timetable,"Minji you have a busy schedule ahead of you, but calm down, that's why you have me around. You have to practise your new single 'COVER UP' as well as the performance with Bobby (I Love You). Furthermore, you also have to catch up with the Sirens which is now also interrupted with the photoshoot. Though you have to remember about your solo song and the music video..." She continues to blabber about my day as I slowed my pace and enter the deep thoughts once again until a rude, annoyed male voice interrupted my journey.

"You seem pretty busy now" Sehun's voice seemed to aggravate so much that I just wanted to be alone and think about my early future.

"Yeah, but that's how it is as always... Did you need something, sunbaenim?" I grit my teeth, trying to be formal and respectful.

" Please stop with the formalities, I don't use them with friends please call me Sehun instead," He said at me.

"That wouldn't be a problem" I stared straight forward wanting this conversation to end.

"Of course not, Minji" Sehun said who had a lopsided smile

We turned a corner, reaching the practice room as Sehun waved me goodbye which I formally bowed back. I focused back on the dance practice feeling proud that my teammates no longer struggle with any of the dance moves after.
