What Are We? (An EXO Fanfiction)

Prologue

"Oppa!!!" I exclaimed, running into his arms.

He wrapped his arms tightly around me. "Haejin-ah, I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." I replied. "Do you still love me?"

"당연히." He said.

"Donghae oppa." I told him. "I didn't understand what you said. What does it mean?"

"It means, 'of course'." Donghae explained. "You're still not fluent?"

"Eh, oppa..." I whined. "It's hard..."

He lifted my chin up close to his and gave me a little peck on the lips. "Don't worry... I will be your sonsaengnim!!!"

I smiled at him. "How are the other members?"

"They're all right." Donghae replied. "Let's go."

"Go where?" I asked.

"SM Entertainment." He said, picking up my luggage and passing it to the manager oppa by the car. "I have a schedule."

"Really?" I asked. "Today?"

When we arrived the SM Entertainment office in Chungdamdong, we went straight to the practice room. "And now we wait." Donghae oppa told me.

"Wait for who?" I asked him.

"Uhm, Kai, Lay, Yuri, Yoona, and Hyoyeon." Donghae replied.

"Who's Lay?" I added as we both sat down on the hard wood floor.

"EXO." Donghae said.

"Oh..." I replied. "Okay."

"I'm helping them with our choreography for the SMTOWN show in New York." Donghae explained, putting his arm over my shoulder.

"Oppa daebak." I told him before placing my lips on his. We started making out in the practice room. Our kiss broke when suddenly, the door swung open to reveal Kai--who I knew from a couple of practice sessions before I went away--and Lay.

"Oh, hyung." Kai exclaimed. "Mianhe, we'll just come back later."

Donghae got up, both of us red in the face. "No, it's fine."

"Who is she?" Lay asked.

I got up as Donghae introduced me. "This is Haejin, she's your sunbae."

"Oh, I remember." Kai told me. "We practiced together before."

"Pleasure to meet you sunbaenim." Lay said.

"Oh please, don't call me sunbaenim." I replied.

"Noona?" Lay asked.

Donghae let out a snort. "Noona.."

"Just call me Haejin." I chuckled. "I'm only eighteen."

Lay looked shocked and turned to Donghae. "Hyung, ten years?"

Donghae just shrugged. "We've been dating for 5 years already."

I smiled. "Anyways, I have to go--"

Then Yuri and Yoona came in. I ran towards them and wrapped them in a warm embrace. "My unnis!!"

"Haejin-ah!" Yoona exclaimed. "When did you arrive??"

"This morning." I replied. "Donghae oppa picked me up from the airport."

"What happened to your Korean?" Yuri asked. "You sound different."

I laughed. "I stayed in America, remember??"

"Oh." Yuri replied, then turned to Donghae. "Oppa, Hyoyeon unni can't come."

"Oh, jinjja?" Donghae said. "What should we do?"

"Hyung." Lay spoke up. "What if Haejin filled in for Hyoyeon noona."

"Chagiya." Donghae asked me. "Can you do it?"

"Sure." I replied.

Donghae danced with Yoona, Kai danced with Yuri while I danced with Lay. After practice, Donghae brought me back to their dorm. We were watching a movie on his phone, but he looked uneasy. "Oppa, are you okay?" I asked him, pausing the video.

"It's just that, what Lay said earlier." Donghae explained. "It got me thinking. I am too old for you. You should be with someone closer to your age."

"What are you trying to tell me oppa?" I asked, my eyes filling with tears. "Are you breaking up with me?"

Donghae nodded back and buried his face in my neck. "That was the hardest decision I have ever made in my entire life. But it's for the best. I wish you every happiness."

I wrapped my arms around him. "Oppa, yongwonhi saranghae."

"Nado." He whispered back.
