EXO IMAGINES

Birthday surprise

*_____* = your thoughts
"_____" = normal speech

January 23rd, 2014. Today was your birthday, although you never really understood how and why people find these sort of days so interesting and fun? You just treated like any other day in your life; with a warm cup of tea and your laptop as your only source of entertainment.

You see, you aren't the typical 'let's hang out and paint our nails' type of girl, you're more of a 'oh staying home sounds good and I think I need to update my blog, that's sounds good ' type of girl. Your social life is very active in regards to the internet world, but in the real world? Not so much. In high school, you were seen as an outcast - A geek who was often bullied by populars, but you really didn't care about all the childish and worthless names they threw at you since you just ignored them the whole time, drowning out the sound of their voices with your music. You are now in university, you don't exactly have friends, you've only got the ones you met online, but that was good enough for you since they were all the most amazing people you've ever met, especially the person named 'anon_2605' (you don't know his real name since he prefers to keep it a secret) you guys have been talking for about 4 years after you created a blog with your art and captioned them with summaries of your everyday life. He became very interested: liked all your posts; asked for lots of commissions; and sent you lots of fan-mail. Before you knew it, you guys started to talk and interact with each other a lot more and soon became great friends.

Sipping your tea, you were interrupted by the sudden sound of a door bell ringing. Confused, you slowly make your way to the door, wondering who that could be considering the only person who knew your address was the delivery guy. You unlocked your door and ever so slowly turned the handle and opened the door. A a sigh of relief escaped your mouth as you stared at the small parcel that was placed on your front step, you picked up the mysterious gift and carried into your bedroom, staring at it curiously.

"What is this? Why do I have it? OMG IS IT A BOMB?! Or maybe it's just a gift from my sister. OR A BOMB FROM MY SISTER" frantically checking around the small box you were relieved to find that it was safe, but you watched as a small piece of paper gently descended until it landed on your knee. It seemed there was writing on it

"Dear'_______' I heard it's your 19th birthday! Congrats on becoming one year older! Wait, is that a good thing? Anyway, I didn't know if you liked jewellery, but I do know you like art! Soo...I bought you a drawing tablet since you've been saying how you've always wanted one! To receive your gift, go to the address that's hidden inside the box!

Yours truly Anon<3'

Your eyes widen with excitement as you finish reading the note, you quickly look into the box to find a small necklace which had a tiny pice of paper wrapped inside one of the charms that looked like a message bottle. You delicately remove the slip to reveal the hidden location. You were wearing a simple outfit- white tshirt, black jeans and your black and white vans, you don't own any fancy attire since you rarely went out.

*Wow someone did all this for my birthday? Huh, I guess people can be nice too* you though as you made your way to the location.
The address lead you to a small, vintage restaurant you've always adored. You stood outside confused *is this the right place? OMG did I go to the wrong place?! Oh well done _____ you idiot, now I can't get my tabl-*
Your thoughts were stopped when you heard an unfamiliar make voice call your name.
"______! Over here, happy birthday!" A voice shouted to you as you watched a strange yet suprisingly very attractive guy make his way towards you, he was holding done sort of box.
"Wait, are you talking to me?!" You replied confused.
"You're _____ right? The one with the art blog? I recognise you from your profile picture" He stood in front of you smiling.
"Oh, yup that's me." You smiled
"Great! I'm anon_2605! It's so great to meet you in person! I love your blog and everything you post, so I wanted to give you something!" He handed you a fairly large box that was wrapped with light blue wrapping paper.
"What? Oh wow, thank you so much! Same here, it's great to see you in person!" You began to unwrap the gift "but you really didn't have t-"
You cut yourself off when the wrapping the revealed the tablet you've always wanted- a wacom cintiq, but couldn't get because you didn't have the money.
"Are you kidding me? Is this really for me? I mean, are you sure you've got the right person?!" You asked, flabbergasted at the gift you just received.
"Yes!! I only know of one artists address-yours! I'm so glad you like it!" He said as his smile grew wider.
"Wow I just...I can't...seriously, THANK YOU!" You cheered as you hugged him tightly "you're very welcome!" He replied. Realising your sudden action, you quickly pull away and you both slightly blush as you smile at each other.
"This is seriously like the best day of my life, I cannot be any happier! I want to go test this badboy out! Oh, would like to join me?"
"Oh, sure! I'll drive us there."

At home~

*Is it safe to let him in here? I mean I've known this guy for 3 years, but I've never actually met him. What if he's totally different from his internet self? No, he can't be, I mean he's pretty amazing so far, he shouldn't be bad* All these thoughts flooded into your mind as you both awkwardly entered your apartment. You quickly place your new tablet on the coffee table and leave to fetch your laptop.
"I GOT THE LAPTOP!" You announced, holding the device above you head whilst trying to make your voice sound like a man.
"GREAT, NOW WE GOTTA SET THAT BABY UP" your friend replied, copying your voice. You both laugh and assemble the newly bought tablet.
After it had been set up and turned on, you marvelled at its perfection. The quality was impeccable and the screen size was just right.
"Now to test out the drawing side" becoming excited.
"Wow I get to see my favourite blogger and watch her draw? Is it my birthday too?" Your friend chuckled.
You opened up Photoshop and began to draw. The swift movements of your wrist increased as you became engrossed with your drawing, you enjoyed the feeling of the pen on the flat screen-smooth and glossy.
With one quick swish of your wrist you were finished
"Done! What'd you think?"
You turned around only to reveal that your friend was totally in a trance, his jaw dropped as he stared at the masterpiece in front of him.
"That looks like....me?"
"That's because it is you! I hope I got your face right, I just did it from memory."
"From MEMORY? I can bearly even remember what I had for breakfast this morning, let alone someone's face I just met! This is absolutely AMAZE-BALLS, you have a true gift _____" he cooed
You blushed and let out a slight laugh after hearing his comment.
"Ah I'll post this to my blog to show my appreciation to you!"
"What really, you don't have to!"
"Yes I do! I cannot thank you enough.... err?" You said, eyebrows furrowed.
"Xiumin, my name is xiumin" he smiled.

You suddenly felt your heart skip a beat and your face burn.
*He only said his name, why the heck am I blushing? But he is very good looking and the most amazing person ever. what am I thinking, I've only just personally met this guy! Get it together ____*
