Hope you enjoy <3
Your back was leaning against the cool pastel faded wall. Vanilla Coke (or any other drink) in your left hand and your phone in your right. White headphones travelled from your ears and connected to your phone, playing 3racha (P.A.C.E or Double Knot). People countlessly said you should 'socialise' with others as you often (in a social event) would rather listen to music or find another way of occupying yourself without having to speak. Many people often gave you a weird look, not that you cared. You quite liked your own personal space, maybe you just didn't like people that much. Yeah.. animals are much better!
You wore a white shirt that was slightly oversized as the coffee/tea stained sleeves touched your knuckles. A dark skirt which hugged your hips and trailed to just over your knees with dark tights continuing the journey to meet your shoes. A messy bun fixed on your head with loose strands sticking in whatever possible direction there was. Lucky, cute baby hair helped frame your face, giving you a youthful look. Working in a coffee/tea shop (NOT BLOODY STARBUCKS) drained you, you loved the smell of coffee but the hours seemed ridiculous but you were willing to put up with it as it payed your bills. Music bounced around your ears and into your body, making your head bob to the rhythm as you waited for a someone.
Kai.. He was one of your close friends, even though you two were opposites when it came to money.
Before you met him (number of years your have been friends) you used to idolise him and enjoy his bands music. However it changed when he accidentally sent a message to you (on whatever social media), telling you all of his pain, worries and thoughts. It obviously wasn't meant for you, but you felt you wanted help him.————-Flashback———————
Kai: I can't do this anymore, one by one members leave, EXO was once 12 now 5. SM are all fucking idiots, they push us everyday till one of us snaps and quits. I want to keep going for my fans and for the rest of us, but everyday I want to pick up my shit and leave. Damn contracts. I've got another few years till I get 'kicked out' Ive got money, but no home, no life. It's true what everyone says "Idols are slaves" so many shitty contracts, I can't even speak my mind. Everything is locked. This pressure is too much. I haven't had any sleep for the last 3 days. I'm just so tired. I miss being able to dance freely...
What should I do O Sehun?
You left, how is it?
Replay soon.You: Um hello? I think you have the wrong person. I'm sorry to hear all this happening. But if you need someone to speak to I'll be happy to help.
Are you ok?Kai: OH SHIT. FUCK how do you delete conversations.?!
You: oh wow you actually replied... uhh I don't think you can.. sorry
Kai: Fuck. Shit. Ok please don't tell anyone, honestly. My contracts are extremely strict, if they knew I accidentally sent you this, my life would be over. You understand don't you? _______ (your username)?!
You: don't worry I won't tell, I don't spread stuff around. Btw my name is [Y/N].
Kai: Thank you [Y/N]... that's a foreign name. Well it is for Korea. Hope you don't mind me asking where you from?
You: oh yeah. I'm from England (just pretend you live there :D) lol. Shitty weather. Although the people here aren't so gloomy.
You type pretty formally?Kai: wow England, that's pretty faraway.. yeah I suppose it's formal, along singing and dancing we have to maintain a good public figure on media. I guess it's from all the years of relentless tweets and posts.... I have to to go. Maybe I'll speak to you later. Your interesting for a fan..
You: oi, who said I was your fan? What you mean 'interesting'?
Kai: ouch my heart. Hahaha yeah you are a weird one. You didn't seem to have a mental breakdown when I sent the text to you.. accidentally. Anyways bye.
You: bye!
—————End of flashback——————
And that's how your friendship started. An accidental text, yet he didn't explain a lot about what he first sent you. Never the less, the both of you regularly talked through text and calls. You will admit the first few calls you had from him was a shock. You would think that an 'idol' like him would completely forget about you. Nope. Actually he was pretty persistent. I guess the idea of having someone you didn't know but knew enough of to speak to was appealing to both of you. Yawning, you let your eyes shut and allowed your consciousness to wonder. It was 10pm and the sun was slowly reaching the horizon. Your impatience began to take a hold, you had be waiting their for a few hours. It didn't bother you too much that you had to wait, but the idea of someone you briefly knew bumping into you to then drown you in conversation would make you brain dead. Plus you were running out of music to listen to. You inaudibly sighed and drank from the cool metal can in your warm palm. "If he-" your eyes clamped open and frantically scanned your surrounding trying to analyse was happening. Two hands quickly grabbed your shoulders and shook you.
"BOO- AGH!!" Yelped the hooded man, falling to the ground while holding himself. Instinct had took over you as you kicked him in between the legs. The anxiety that had swelled in your stomach was soon replaced with courage caused by adrenaline. With a calm but threatening tone you spoke "Oi who the fuck are- KAI?!!" The man looked up, squinting. The hood had fallen back to reveal a tanned face, he bore an awkward smile, clearly showing the pain. "Oow.." Kai whined to himself, accepting your hand that you guiltily gave out. You gently yank him up and brush his shoulders, guilt lingered in your stomach. You felt a bit bad for, well, kicking him he balls but he did frighten you into defence.
you two soon started to talk and the guilt disappeared, replaced with laughter. "Remind me next time not to seek up on you." Kai chuckled, his chocolate eyes wondered over to you. "Yeah.. sorry about that" you grinned "I thought you were going to rob me or something." You explained, still smiling.
Your conversation became more relaxed and casual, Kai explaining what he had been up to, drama, friends. Nothing he said was unpleasant, he was quite positive. You nodded occasionally, you weren't bored listen to him, most of your days were quite gloomy besides you were curious to see how the other life lives (people with enough money to not worry)It was close to 11pm when you two reached to train station. Panting you looked over at Kai, who was in perfect shape.
"[Y\N] you alright?"
"Huh me.... yeah.. never been better" you panted, trying to put on a strong act. Kai smiled. You weren't that unfit but the continuous scrubbing and quickly serving people for hours on end drained you. Luckily the train had arrived and the both of stepped on and prepared for a long journey home..
