Hye-Yeon and I have not talked in the longest time (3 days). I should get used it, I don't think I can ever look at her the same way.
I have not seen Min-Seok for the past few days too. He's been busy, being an idol and studying. I have been training for my competition and studying for my upcoming tests.
I look in the mirror and examine my clothing, okay... It's okay. I grab a black bomber jacket and put it on.

minseok : where are you?
My phone drops to the floor as I was reaching for my bag. It's the night of their performance, I heard there will be other idols too.
For some reason, I am nervous. I grab the black mask that Min-Seok told me to bring. I put it on and grab my phone.
chae-rin ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́) : omw!
min-seok : search for me when you reach
chae-rin ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́) : who else will i search for ㅋㅋ
min-seok : who knows...
chae-rin ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́) : see you ㅋㅋㅋ
I arrived at the TV station, there's producers walking around and a lot of fans with their bongs.
EXO... EXO...
I try to search for their waiting room or maybe a member.
Omo, it's BoA.
I then bump into something hard, no sorry— someone.
"I am sorry." I immediately bow, "watch where you're walking."
Oh shit, I think my contacts fell out. Ah... What's wrong with me?
I look up at the man, it's Lay. "Annyeonghaseyo." I bow, "I am searching for Min-Seok ssi—"
"Hyung!" Lay turns around and opens a door, "there's a girl searching for you."
I stood at the door, all I see is blurred faces staring at me.
"Annyeong—"
Min-Seok closes the door behind me and grabs my elbow gently. He pulls me closer to the boys, "meet Chae-Rin, she's my—"
"Girlfriend?" Suho raises his eyebrows at him.
"Hyung, you know we can't date." Baekhyun says, Min-Seok sighs.
What does he mean...?
"I am his friend." I complete Min-Seok's sentence. "You look pretty, Chae-Rin ssi." Kai compliments me. "Thank—"
"Don't say that to her." Min-Seok says, sitting me down next to Baekhyun. He kept his hands on my shoulders, "are you a student?" Chen ask.
I pull my mask down to speak, "yes—"
"How did you meet Umin hyung? Are you guys dating?" Baekhyun ask, abruptly cutting me off.
"We met in the library." I replied, "do you find him handsome?" D.O ask.
"What?"
"Are you a fan?" Sehun ask.
I took in a deep breath, "I am sorry." Min-Seok whispers.
"I am sorry, I do not know much about you guys." I apologise.
"Oh! Why is there a girl here?" Chan-Yeol of EXO walks in.
I thank god that the Chan-Yeol I know doesn't look like him, he doesn't look one bit like an idol.
"Her name is the same as CL's." Baekhyun says, he seems fascinated by my name.
"Oh, Minseok hyung is dating?" Chan-Yeol stands in front of us.
"No." Min-Seok answers, shaking his head.
"You're single, right?" Chan-Yeol looks down at me, "huh?"
Where did all my vocabulary go?
"She's not, she's my woman." Min-Seok replies for me and walks away.
The boys went berserk.
What...
I put my hand over my face, it's probably as red as a tomato. Ah, how could he said that?
"Break a leg." I quickly say to Min-Seok, he flash me a quick smile before stepping onto stage.
I look up at the TV screen and watch them stood in their positions.
The music starts and they started dancing. The fans scream out for them.
Daebak.
I miss going to concerts, seeing your idol upfront feels surreal.
Just like Min-Seok, the moment he stepped in my life. Everything feels like a dream.
The boys got off the stage, looking satisfied about their performance. They're all sweaty and panting.
I took some pictures, everything is just so cool.
"How was our performance?" Chan-Yeol puts his arm around my shoulder, "daebak—"
"Keep your arm off." Min-Seok comes in between us, "I did well right?" He ask me for assurance.
"Please, I probably looked the best on stage." Chan-Yeol says.
"Yah, I am your hyung." Min-Seok warns him.
Him being the oldest member of EXO doesn't make sense.
"You didn't have to send me back home." I say to Min-Seok. I could see his eye bags and his dark circles.
"It's okay." Min-Seok grabs my hand and run his thumb over, "thank you for coming." He mutters.
"You're welcome, please rest well tonight." I smiled.
I pull his mask off slowly and place a kiss on his cheek, "goodnight."
