          Sohyun woke up the next day to find her name once again written all over social media.




          "Is EXO Chanyeol dating their leader's sister?" the headline reads.

          It appears that Kim Sohyun, Exo's leader Kim Junmyeon a.k.a. Suho's younger sister, who was recently introduced to the public, may have not only captured the heart of some fans, but another member's heart as well.

          During the band's latest concert held at Gocheok Skydome, attendees bore witness at the two's apparent sweetness.

          Kim Sohyun was seen present at the concert with the rest of their family to support Suho. But was she only there for her older brother?

          Concert attendees saw how Park Chanyeol approached Kim Sohyun mid performance. The former telling the latter not to cry or be sad, also giving the latter a soft kiss on the hand all the while melting and breaking the hearts of fans all at the same time.

          A video captured by a fan, showing Chanyeol doing the deed was attached to the article.

          Park Chanyeol's mother seemed to be also fond of the youngest Kim as the former was seen holding the latter's hand and giving her a warm smile after what Park Chanyeol did and the two were often seen in a lively conversation with each other during the group's performance. Does this mean Mama Park approves the budding relationship between the two?

         The day after the group's concert, as Park Chanyeol celebrated his 26th birthday, the pair was seen driving around town together on what seems to be a date. The pair didn't seem to mind showing public display of affection.

          A picture of Sohyun when she slipped and Chanyeol catching her was attached. At first look, it appears that the two were hugging each other. There were also photos of Chanyeol kissing her head during their bowling game was also attached.

          Not long ago, Park Chanyeol was also seen comforting a crying Kim Sohyun at the hospital where the other member, Byun Baekhyun was admitted after an accident while shooting their last music video.

          The pair seemed to have been introduced by Suho himself when the members stayed at the Kim's family resthouse last Autumn. Since then, the pair have gotten close and have been inseparable since then. Park Chanyeol is two years older than Kim Sohyun.

          However, despite the apparent evidences, the pair is yet to confirm if the said rumor is true.




         "You have to prepare yourself princess, there is no point denying it. The company is going to release an official statement confirming your relationship." Suho said.

          Suho called his sister that morning as soon as the news broke out. The rest of the group just flew to Hongkong to join Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin.

          "Will you be alright all by yourself? Why don't you stay at our parents' house?" Suho suggested.

          "Oppa, geogjeongma. Nan gwaenchanh-eulgeoya." Sohyun said.

          "Are you sure?" Suho asked still worried.

          "Ne. Oppa, I'm 24 years old. I'm not a kid anymore. I can perfectly take care of myself." Sohyun said rolling her eyes.

          "Arasseo. Anyway, I have to go now. We need to prepare for tonight's ceremony. Call me when you need me okay?" Suho said.

          "Ne. Have fun. See you guys tomorrow." Sohyun said before hanging up.




          Just as her brother had predicted, that very day, the company released an official statement confirming her relationship with Chanyeol, sending another media frenzy.

          Fans' opinions were once again split into those who are in favor of it, those who are against it and those who didn't mind as long as it's not with their favorite member.

          Unlike when the news about her existence went out, comments from those who are against her relationship with Chanyeol, got even worst. Some even began to threaten her life.

          Not that she wasn't expecting it, she knew that fans tend to become violent whenever they would hear that their idol is dating may it be with another idol or not. Her being the group's leader's sister is no exception.

          As much as she hates to admit it, she can't help but the words she has read, deeply affected her. Memories of her past encounter slowly creeping its way back to her. Being alone without her brother, Chanyeol or the other members around to comfort her is making it worse.

          Anxiety kicking in... she paced back and forth in the living room. Somi barked sensing her owner's distress.

           "Somi~ya, mianhe. I can't take you out for a walk today." Sohyun said picking up her dog.




          Just then, her hand phone rang. It was her friend and editor, Suri.

          "Suri! It's been a while. What's up?" Sohyun said.

          "Girl, I should be asking you that very same question. How's it like to be a celebrity in Korea?" Suri teased.

          "Ugh! Hey! Don't even start. You know pretty well I never wanted this kind of attention." Sohyun sighed.

          "Well, look on the bright side. Your novels are selling like pancakes." Suri continued.

          "Yeah right." Sohyun said.

           "Speaking of. How's your book coming along?" Suri asked.

          "Almost done. Already working on the ending." Sohyun said.

          "Good. So, does that mean you're coming back home?" Suri asked.

          Home. Her friend's words stopped Sohyun on her tracks. For the past ten years, Canada has been her home. The only reason for her to come back to Korea was because of her family. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have gone back. All those bad memories she had made her curse setting foot on her home country.

          But with all the things that had happened for the past three months, the thought of leaving somehow caused a pang on her chest.

          "I-I guess so." She answered.

          "Great! So, that means I'll be seeing you soon? I can't wait. Girl, we have a lot of catching up to do." Suri said.

          "Yeah. You're right." Sohyun said.

          "Well, I got to go now. Just send me the manuscript when your done okay? Ciao!" Suri said.

          "Somi~yah. I guess we're leaving soon." Sohyun said. Somi just craned her neck and looked at her owner.
