POV-Xiumin

I'm so nervous. Today is the day I find out who is in my group at SM Entertainment. Are these people going to like me? Are they going to be nice? Will they be bullies? I start to think of all the bad possibilities as I get out of my small blue car and walk up to the very intimidating SM building without even thinking. I have been here for training so many times, that I just walk up. Kind of like when you get home, you could be thinking of a million things, and without realizing that you just happen to be standing in your room.

When I walk in and everyone is grouped around a small table. At what I can only assume is where they figure out who their members are. And the bad thoughts are back, what a surprise.

I just stand in the back of the room and just wait for everyone to clear out so I can get through. When I finally do reach the table the there is only one sheet of paper left on the table and it happens to be mine,but what else is new. I'm always the last at everything. When I look at the names on the sheet and don't know a single one.

Suddenly some boy in a purple-ish jacket with a white t-shirt and black skinny jeans walks up to me.

"Are you Kim Minseok?" The boy asks with a bit of confusion, but yet with a lot of confidence. I guess he must be in my group?

"Yeah" I respond slowly, because I'm still a bit skeptical

"I'm Luhan. I am one of the members in your group!" The boy says, strangely with a lot of energy

I'm still really nervous, even after I find someone that is in my group. I still don't know who these people are, they could be murderers for all I know!

I can't help but look at all the people in here. There must be at lest 200 people, all packed in a small room. It's like sardines packed in to a can!

As I'm thinking, I feel the boy, Luhan grab my hand and pull me away.

Luhan takes me through the crowds. I have no clue where it is he's taking me I'm so wrapped up in all the people. If you can't tell already, I'm always fixated on people. Long hair, short hair, brown eyes, green eyes...

Despite how many times I have been here Luhan manages to take me to a part of the building I have never been to or seen. He shoves me I to a bathroom locking the door behind him. I can't help but think I'm being held hostage.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING" I scream. Although I met this boy only today and this is basically the first real in counter that we have had.

"Nothing to hurt you. Calm down." He pauses before starting back up again "I saw how you were acting, looking around never focusing on one thing." he pauses again "I've been there" he says in a sweet voice

"What are you talking about?" I say knowing exactly what he is talking about but yet not ready to let him know

"Oh come on you know. I can see you have anxiety or something" He says as he slowly walking over to me.

I feel kind of trapped we are in a small bathroom in a part of the building I don't know. Yet instead of hiding from everything like I always do, I decide to stay because I don't want to be out with all those people. I just... need a break, so I admit to it.

"How did you know" I say looking down at his feet as they get closer, to the point where his feet are touching mine.

"I had social problems, to the point that I couldn't leave my house, but after years of medication I grew out of it" he says as he lifts my head up, so our eyes meet.

After about 30 seconds of looking in to his eyes I feel strange and go back to looking at our feet till Luhan starts messing with my hair, but I keep looking at our feet for about a minute till it just becomes really weird and I can't take it anymore, so I slowly look up at him.

" I'm sorry, I'm sorry just I'm sorry" he says backing away slowly.

"It's okay, I understand"I say walking toward him ever so slowly

"You know a nerves habit of mine is pulling on my eyebrows till they are gone" I add looking into his eye not, at my feet.

"Well that makes me feel better" he says

"I know, everyone says that" I say

"Now come on, we should get back" he says, holding his hand out. Instead of running I take it! His hands are so soft! I love it!

He unlocks the door and we head back to the main part of the building he practically drags me along but I don't mind. I don't recognize this part of the building though.

"Where are we anyway? I have never been to this part of the building." I say

"Um well I found this a long time ago on one of my first days of training I got lost and came upon this no one ever comes over here, I think, that sense they modled the other part of the building they don't use this anymore it's full of empty rooms" he says really fast

Before I even realize we are at the main entrance. We now have to find the rest of our group but a gang of at least ten people come up to us.

"Are you Kim Min Seok and Luhan?" One of the tallest people says as I move now standing in front of Luhan

"Yes but I go by Xiumin not Min Seok" I correct him

"Okay well, I'm Zi Tao I go by just Tao. Umm and we are your group members" the boy says looking back at all the people

Then suddenly an announcement comes on the P.A and scars the shit out of me

"Attention all S.M trainees tomorrow you will meet here with your group members to get assigned your dorm rooms so bring all personal items with you. Have a nice night the building will be closing in five minutes"

Me and luhan are the last people out of the building and as we are walking to the door Luhan handed me me a paper.

"In case you need anything" he says. Then I realize that he put his phone number on it.

"Thanks. You were a lot of help today" I say as I walk off to my car

All I can think about is how luhan is different than anyone I have ever met but in a good way. Like I know we are going to be closer than the others but still there is something about him.

Before I know it I am at my apartment building. I hop out of my car and into the lobby. I go and get the papers to let the manager know that I'm leaving then head up stares to my apartment on the third floor. I really like it here and will be sad to go but if it means that I get to move on with my job at S.M I guess it's okay.

Once I enter my apartment I go change into my pajamas then start packing my things. But yet something keeps eating away at me, Luhan? I really don't know. I like him. He's nice and I'd like to know more about him, so I pick up my phone and call the number he gave me. My hart pounding I'm not sure if I should be doing this, but it's to late the ringing stops and I hear his voice.

"Hello?" Luhan asks

"Yes hi Luhan?" I ask nervously

"Yeah, Xiumin?" Luhan says

"Yep. Hey I was wondering if you would like to get some coffee before the meeting tomorrow?" I spit out as fast as I can

"That sounds good" he says really happy

"Okay see ya" I say to get the conversation over with.

~~~

The next thing I know is my alarm is going off, meaning it's time to get up but I trough the blanket over top of me hoping it will stop. Eventually I get up and turn it off. Then go get a shower. I get all my things in the car and drive off because I know the second I look back I won't want to leave, there for no looking back that part of my life is over time to open a new chapter.
