If I Can't Have You... (An EXO fan fiction)

Chapter Twenty Six

Suho rode shotgun with Yongmin driving today. I was wondering where did the usual driver, Gyeongjun, go that Yongmin had to drive. It was unusual to see Suho rode shotgun. He usually sat with Sehun in the third row. Maybe he didn't want to be anywhere near me.

It was fine. I wasn't expecting anything either. If he wanted to act cool, then I could play along.

Chen, Xiumin and Baekhyun sat on the third row, while Kai, Sehun and Chanyeol took the second row. I was assigned the first row with Kyungsoo as they thought I might struggle to get on and off the car if I rode in the back seat. Point taken.

"Can I please not bring these contraption? It's distracting, heavy and unattractive. What if people look at me pitifully?", I shook my crutches at Kyungsoo before we got into the car. He would be the first to nag if I left them without his consent.

"You still have to, Soojin-ah. If you think it's too heavy then I'll carry them around for you.", he said as he grabbed hold of them.

"I can perfectly walk around without them! Trust me.", I showed him my smooth movements. It was still awkward for my leg to stand by itself, but I had to get used to it.

"Well...", he hesitated for a while, "let's just bring this with us. If you get tired or if it starts to hurt even a little bit, you have to use them. No negotiations.", he closed the case. I nodded with agreement.

All of us finally got into the car and I sat directly behind Suho. It was too late for me to ask Kyungsoo to switch places because the car ignited and off we went.

"So, where are we going?", I whispered at Kyungsoo.

"Oh, we have to do this CF shooting with SPAO. It's for their recent winter collection.", he whispered back.

"Ah, SPAO. I actually wear their clothing a lot! If I mention I'm friends with one of you, could I get a discount?", I joked a him.

"No, maybe you'll get a beating.", he replied and we both snickered out loud.

"Yah! What jokes are you two sharing without telling us?", Baekhyun sounded from the backseat.

"It's strictly confidential, Baekhyun. And stop eavesdropping, you're such a creep.", I turned my head towards him and stuck out my tongue.

"Excuse me, young lady, I was NOT eavesdropping.", he said in defense.

"Yes you are. We were talking in a pretty low volume and you just happened to know we were discussing something.", I went back at him. His expression was priceless, as if he got caught off-guard but still didn't want to admit it. I laughed at his reaction.

"So, do you guys enjoy shooting CFs?", I asked the whole crowd in the backseat.

"It was a fun experience. Sometimes we were forced to do some cringey scenes but eventually we got the hand of it. The whole filming process was refreshing.", Sehun answered me.

"Did it usually take a long time?"

"Not necessarily. If we could finish the scenes in one take then we would wrap up early.", this time Chen answered.

"Who's usually the most excited on filming CFs?", I interrogated.

"Suho hyung, and...maybe Jongin?", Chanyeol answered. I flinched at the mention of Suho's name.

"Ah...I see.", I stopped the questions because I could feel Suho tense up. The situation between us was getting weirder and I didn't want anyone to notice.

"Are you finished with your interview, Soojin-ssi?", Kyungsoo held his water bottle in front of me, pretending it was a microphone.

"Yes, D.O-ssi, that wraps up the EXO interview on Tuesday, 27th October 2015.", I said reporter-wise.
