What Are We? (An EXO Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Jeri

JERI POV

It was about five in the afternoon. I was alone rehearsing in the practice room after a meeting. It was hard being the leader of an all girl group. Everything had to be perfect. I was about to finish my routine but then I twisted my ankle. "Oh! Gwaenchanha??" A boy exclaimed as he entered the room.

"Ye." I told him. "I'm fine."

"Can you get up?" He asked, crouching down beside me.

I nodded back. "I can manage."

He smiled. He was cute. "That's good. Have you seen a phone here? I left mine earlier."

"It's on the couch." I told him.

He walked over to get his phone. "I'm Xiumin by the way. Nice to meet you. You're from that rookie group, right?"

"Choi Jeri imnida." I replied. "Nice to meet you."

He gave me a cheeky smile. "Let's go and get some coffee."

"Coffee would be good." I said, smiling.

"Gaja." He added making his way towards the door.

"Xiumin sunbae." I called out to him.

He turned around and smiled. "You can't get up, can you?"

I nodded back and he made his way towards me. He crouched down, turning away from me. "Come on. I'll carry you." He added.

I got onto his back. His back surprisingly felt firm compared to his round facial features, which I imagined were quite soft. We walked out of the SM Entertainment building. "My dorm in just two blocks away." I told him. "I can walk from here."

"Aniyo." He replied. "My dorm is just around the corner. We need to bind your ankle. It might swell."

"We could do it in the practice room." I said. "They have a first aid kit in the supply room."

"I don't want to walk up there anymore." He told me. "You're pretty heavy for someone your size."

"Ya~" I exclaimed, slapping his shoulder.

"I'm just kidding." He replied. "I just want you to meet the other members and we can have coffee there."

We were walking to their dorm when someone recognized him. "XIUMIN OPPA!!" A girl exclaimed. "WHO IS SHE??"

"Nae yeoja chingu~" Xiumin-ssi replied, without stopping to talk to the fan.

"ANIYO." I called out to her. "Don't worry. I don't like Xiumin oppa. He's just helping me because I hurt my ankle."

"Ah, chagiya." Xiumin sunbae told me, loud enough for the girl to hear. "Stop denying our love."

"AISSSHHHHH JINJJA!!!" We heard the girl yell. "WHO DOES THAT GIRL THINK SHE IS?? GET AWAY FROM MY XIUMIN OPPA."

Xiumin sunbae broke into a sprint as we made our way around the corner and into the building of their dorm. I slipped off of his back as we entered the elevator and fell to the ground. "Oh, Jeri-ah." He exclaimed as he helped me up. "Mianhae."

I passed him a tissue because he was dripping in sweat. "Sunbae?"

"Mm?" He asked, wiping his forehead.

"Why did you tell that fan that I was your yeoja chingu?" I told him.

He just smiled back at me. I didn't bother to get the answer out of him.

To my shock, when we got to their dorm, Jinki-ah was there. They told me that they were resting after their movie date. Xiumin sunbae helped me onto the couch as I sat between Jinki unnie and Haejin unnie who was all wrapped up in Chanyeol sunbae's embrace. "Oh, it's already swelling." Chanyeol sunbae told me.
