What You See
Huang zitao a.k.a Tao:
"What the hell was that for, hyung? Why would you tell your fan to go away and leave you alone? I mean do you not have a heart?" Kai asks as he panted looking very exhausted. Suho, who was sitting on the living room couch, stood up.
"What's going on here?" he asked as he approaches the two of them. Baekhyun just stares at the ground, his face stone cold. I look at the expressions on their faces. I start to get very nervous as the overwhelming atmosphere of an argument filled the living room. I'm getting really anxious so I tap Sehun's shoulder while he stared at the people at the living room.
"What?" Sehun asks me.
"Let's get out of here..." I say. He looks at me and returns his gaze to Baekhyun and Kai.
"Shhh... let's watch what happens first." he says. I roll my eyes at his nosiness. I've never really been the type who liked getting into other people's business but this is better than being alone in my room.
"He told a fan that was giving him a gift to go away because he didn't have time for her. She told her that she should just leave him alone. Who does that!? When did you become so ungrateful?" Kai asks while shooting Baekhyun judgmental glares. I gulp as I realize what Baekhyun has done and stare at Kai who seemed really angry. The other members are out today so no one except Suho was there. I wanted to approach them but I just felt frozen in fear.
"Why did you say that?" Suho looks at Baekhyun whose expression hasn't changed. "Why the hell did you say that?" Suho started to get impatient. Baekhyun said something terrible that can actually ruin his image to the fans, what's worse is that he told her leave her alone. I can't imagine how hurt that fan was when she heard Baekhyun's words. What if Baekhyun was her ultimate bias? What if Baekhyun is the last hope she has? What if that fan is-- I stop myself from overthinking things and avert my gaze back to Baekhyun.
"Because I wanted to. Did you see the messages that they sent to me? They shower me with awful words and sometimes even profanity! How is me saying that I wanted to be alone being ungrateful?" Baekhyun gritted his teeth. He was also really angry and his face looks almost crimson red.
"They're not all the same, hyung! Some people support you and maybe that fan was one of them and you shouldn't have done that. It was very rude and also very mean." Kai answers.
"How would you know!? You're not the one getting bashed by his own fans!" Baekhyun said raising his voice. Here we go again... Baekhyun has always been too careful of his image and the dating scandal just won him a fair amount of haters. Even if he looks okay on music shows or concerts, he still hasn't got over the trauma and stress that it caused him. I don't blame him though, what can be more stressful than watching your own fans turn against you? The ones who told you that they'll love and support you forever abandons you just like that after one simple... mistake.
"Well, I'm not the one who chose some girl over her career!" Kai yells back at him causing Suho's eyes to widen. I pull back and tug Sehun's shoulder, he was still listening to the confrontation. Ughhh! I don't like this. I don't like seeing the members fight over simple things like this.
"Kai! He's still your hyung." Suho scolds him.
"But he's acting like a child! We all know that the thing with him and Taeyeon noona was all something SM conjured up to feed to the media but it's true that he chose to date her even if it meant risking his career, risking our career!" Kai says pointing at accusing finger at Baekhyun.
I want to speak and defend Baekhyun but I can't. I just feel like if I defend him, I'll be saying that Kai is wrong. For some reason, what Kai said makes sense to me. Baekhyun did risk our career. I always tried to understand that he was simply a human being who's in love and that he has the right to do what he wants with his personal life, because I myself want that. Right now though, when I think about it - Baekhyun did somehow risk us and it was a little bit selfish. I shake the thoughts off of my head.
