The Official EXO Ship Book Pt. 2

Krisho pt. 1

Perhaps it started with the first meeting.

Suho and Kris, back then known as Yifan and Junmyeon, were called in for a meeting with their soon-to-be manager. As the two sat outside the office, Yifan smiled at Junmyeon's nervous energy- the way he clutched his hands, the swiveling of his foot on the floor...

"Nervous?"

Junmyeon glanced up, meeting Yifan's eyes before dropping his gaze. "Yeah, kinda..."

Kris bent forward, elbows propped on his knees as he looked down the hall casually. "What're you here for? Not a dating scandal I hope."

Suho snorted, rolling his eyes. "Nah, something about being in a new group."

Yifan raised his eyebrows in surprise, but before he could say anything else a woman stepped through the door and invited the two men inside. Junmyeon bowed respectfully before entering, Kris mirroring him.

The meeting went by smoothly; when the two men left the room, they were officially leaders. Suho looked kind of pale, so Kris led him to a water fountain.

"You OK?" Yifan asked, patting Junmyeon's back gingerly as the new leader chugged water.

"Yifan, I'm not ready," Suho whispered, clutching the water fountain for support. "I just... don't have the skills for it. I'm not even a good candidate for a group, much less a leader."

"Hey," Yifan put a hand on his shoulder, shaking Junmyeon gently. "If they chose you as a leader, I'm sure they have good reasons to. Why do you think they chose you?"

Junmyeon stiffened, looking down with a frown. Yifan caught his drift and dropped his hold on Junmyeon's shoulder- only to grab Junmyeon's hand and squeeze it reassuringly. Junmyeon glanced up again, noting how tall Yifan was.

"Don't worry, Junmyeon." He murmured, smiling. "I'll prove to you you're the best person for this job."

"Mom!"

Suho and Kris glanced up from the sheets of paperwork, both worried when Sehun walked into the room sobbing. Suho immediately stood up and walked over, trying to get Sehun to calm down. Kris sat back in his chair, frowning.

"Is everything alright, Sehun?"

Sehun shook his head, collapsing on the couch and hugging a leather pillow. "I-I w-wanna go ho-home; I wan-na see m-my parents."

Suho's gaze turned soft as he listened to the maknae's sniffles. He sat down next to him, hugging Sehun close. The maknae snuggled up to his leader, tears rolling down his cheeks. Kris silently raised the unfinished and unread papers.

What about these? He mouthed.

Not now, Suho mouthed back, giving him a look of disbelief. Kris shook his head slightly, sitting back in his chair again as Suho comforted the maknae. Then Kris got an idea- he took all the papers, a clipboard and a pen. He then sat on the other side of Sehun and began reading out loud.

"With this production, you will agree to traveling abroad for work related issues, including tours, international broadcasting and collaboration with international artists. Agree?"

Suho nodded as Kris checked it off. For the next three hours, Kris read the papers and discussed the options with Suho. Sehun fell asleep after the first hour, snoring ever so slightly.

"Alright, what's next?" Suho asked quietly, eyes drooping.

"Alright..." Kris did a final yawn before looking at the page. "Please return this to said manager and expect results in two months. Agree or disagree?"

"Um, agr- wait," Suho craned his neck, only to muffle laughter. "Kris, you dummy- we're done!"

EXO-M's leader blinked dumbly and read the sentence again, only to laugh in embarrassement. "Of course, how dumb of me. Sorry."

Suho leaned his head on Sehun's, caressing the boys hair reassuringly as he slept.

"Man, poor kid," Kris sighed, rubbing Sehun's shoulder. "He works too hard."

"We all are," Suho muttered, leaning his head on Sehun's. "Xiumin, Lay, Sehun... man, a heck of a group we have."

"Tell me about it," Kris chuckled, looking at the ceiling. "Five members is a bunch... I wonder why Lee Soo Man needs two leaders? Hm... well, if you heard the rumours, we're apparently gonna be a twelve member group! Hehe, imagine that-"

Kris looked over, only to find Suho asleep against Sehun. Kris's smile turned softer as he cuddled up to the two, his long arm wrapping around both of them.

"I promise..." he paused, caressing Suho's hair. "I swear I'll be the best leader I can."

part two will be a little late, so hang in there!
