exo ambw imagines.

request; a chemical attraction {oh sehun}

~ requested by @gonesouls ~

i've done this a trillion times yet i still get so nervous whenever i hear my fans chanting my name. i slowly breathe in and out as i think back to how this happened. a few conversations with my best friend (who is also my manager) about my love for them slowly led to phone calls being made here and there, dozens of emails and meetings and now i'm here. anele, the opening act of exo. i am the opening act of exo.

"30 seconds left, miss y/n!" a man calls out, interrupting my thoughts. i smiled and nodded at him. he handed me my prepped and sound checked microphone and motioned for me to get onto the stage. i fiddle with my afro as i see the giant screen, illuminating my name in striking red against the black background. once they announce my name, i begin to run out to the screaming audience.

"WHAT'S UP, y/c/n!" i scream from the top of my lungs. the crowd erupts into shouts as i smile at their reaction.

(y/c/n - your city name)

"i hope you guys are having a great time! before exo comes on stage, i would like to perform a few songs if that's okay with you!" i ask and they scream in response. not to brag or anything, but i would like to consider myself the best artist in south africa right now. sm was trying to gather the best artists of each country that exo performs in and i happened to be the chosen opening act of south africa. i get into position and prepare for my performance.

panting from all the dancing, i run off the stage.

"y/n, that was amazing like always. the crowd was going crazy when you performed your last song." my manager said, referring to my very sexy latest song. i chuckled and hugged her.

"thank you, girl. now, time to watch exo!" i wiggled my eyebrows at her and she laughed back. her laughs slowly died down as she looked at something behind me.

"y/n, do not freak out. like at all." she said, her eyes not leaving the sight of the thing behind me.

"they're coming, aren't they?" i asked, panicky. i may or may not be the biggest exo-l there is and here she is, telling me not to freak out. she slowly nodded, starstruck herself. i feel a tap on my shoulder and i slowly turn around to be faced with 8 guys. my eyes widen at the sight of exo. you may think that me being their opening act would mean that i've at least see them once. hell nah. with their busy schedule, do you really think they'll be able to even glance at me? which clearly explains my shock right now.

"y/n, right? you did great out there." suho says, smiling. the rest nods and agrees in response.

" ᵗ⁻ᵗʰᵃⁿᵏ ʸᵒᵘ." i quietly said, surprising myself with the volume of my voice. i clear my throat and try again.

"thank you." i say clearly and shyly while looking down. hol up, since when did i become this shy? anele, you're the baddest of them all. show them the fierce girl that you are. i straighten myself up and finally look at them and of course, he had to be the eyes i met with first. my ultimate bias, oh sehun. he stared back at me, making me melt. his dark eyebrows gave him an intimidating look and his height didn't help him look any less intimidating. he is such a fine specimen. just looking at him literally leaves me looking like the fricking heart eye emoji. and he hasn't done anything. he hasn't spoken. he hasn't moved. he's just looked at me. i'm guessing we stood there staring at each other for a while because chanyeol cleared his throat, making me look at his smirking face.

"are you guys okay?" kyungsoo asked.

"maybe they're, like, in love!" baekhyun gasped, exaggeratedly. everyone laughed at his comment while sehun and i gave each other a knowing look. kai said something that i couldn't really make out since i wasn't listening and it seemed like sehun didn't either. they started walking, leaving behind me and sehun and my manager behind me.

"hi, erm, i'm s-sehun." he said shyly, shocking me even more. he didn't seem like the type to be shy at all.

"i'm y/-"

"y/n, i know." he chuckled and i joined him.

"so, this might be weird since we just met but i was wondering if i could get your number? we're in south africa for another week or so so maybe you could show me around or something? i don't really know where to go around here so it would be great if yo-"

" i would love to give you my number." i smiled at his rambling.

i didn't believe in love at first sight. but oh sehun changed my whole perspective.
