EXO One Shot Collections (Open Requests)

Always There

Lay was just casually strolling down the street, window shopping as usual whenever he's free. He walks past one of the record store and something caught his attention, that voice, seems too familiar to him. He walked into the store and his eyes widen as he sees the huge poster none other than his ex-boyfriend, Kris. The store was blasting away Kris’s new song and that make Lay smiles, that guy is finally using his talent in a good way.

About a year ago, when Lay and Kris are still dating, Kris would just hang around, going skateboarding, having underground rap battles and just laze around sometimes. Lay have to push him out of their shared apartment door to get him go get a job. This happens every other day until Lay finally exploded and shouted at him.  They argued for a while and Lay went into his room and slammed the damn door. He fell asleep after a while and when he finally woke up, he realized that Kris was nowhere to be found. He just disappeared. Lay even tried calling his phone literally 100 times and no one picked up.

Lay smiles and look at Kris's album. "Where are you?" He whispered to himself. "Are you doing just fine? Have you eaten? That silly giant is for sure to forget to take his vitamins and supplements."

Lay looks around and he took the album, went to pay for it and went back home. He even got a free poster along with it. He was walking faster than he usually do, just to get home quickly and listen to Kris's album.

Lay almost ran into his apartment and he puts the disc into his laptop and the music begins to play.Lay smiles when Kris began to rap. He's been practicing a lot, and he sings now too. Lay remembers that when they were still dating, Kris would always sing Frozen's Let It Go and would always make Lay laugh out loud whenever Kris tries to hit the high notes.

"You're mean." Kris said and pouted when Lay was laughing while rolling on the carpeted floor.

"I'm sorry hahahhahahaha!" Lay said and continues laughing.

Thinking back of those memories that they once had made Lay felt guilty about himself and without him realizing, tears were already rolling down his cheeks.  His phone rang after a few minutes and Lay picks up.

“Hello?” Lay said and sniffed.

“Lay? Are you crying again?” His best friend, Suho asked.

“No.”

“Liar.” Suho said. “I know you’re crying. Is it because of Kris again?”

“I’m not.” Lay lied. “Allergies.”

“I don’t believe you. Nope, not convincing enough.”

“What is it now Suho?”

“Oh right, it’s Sehun’s graduation tomorrow and I can’t go. Can you help your friend a little and go there for me?”

“Sure.” Lay said. “I’ll love to.”

“Thanks.” Suho said.

“You’re welcome.”

“Well?”

“Well what?”

“Isn’t there something you wanted to tell me?” Suho asked.

“What do I want to tell you?”

“You have something to say. I just know it.”

“I really can’t fool you huh?” Lay chuckles.

“Yup. Known you for almost 10 years, how could I not know you?”

“Well, it’s about Kris.” Lay said slowly. “He debuted as a singer.”
