Finding Home

3

I just smiled and gave Eunhyuk my phone. He saved himself and as I gotten my phone back, I looked over and just started laughing.
He saved himself as Hyukie Oppa with an super weird photo. But than Donghae grabbed my phone and saved himself in. BigBro Dongi.
„Donghae. Why big bro?" I asked.
„Because you can see me now as your older Brother who will take care of you!"
„You should start to take care of yourself first Hyung!", Eunhyuk yelled from the back. And while those two were yelling at each other again, I started to look again out of the window.

It is finally over. My first time Music Bank. It was pretty nice. I met a lot of people thanks to my new BigBro. He was showing me around and introducing me as his new little sister. I was able to meet a lot people from the production stuff as well.

After all that, it was time for the meeting in the SM Headquarters for the fanmeeting. I made my way up to the conference room. The only one who I saw there was Lee SooMan. "Ah Melinda! You are an early bird?"
"Usually yes. I guess my german side shows up a little up.", he just nodded and took a seat. I was a little helpless, since mostly there is strict seat arrangement for meetings. So I asked: "I just want to know where should I sit? Is there any special arrangement or free choice?"
"Normally free choice, but I would be pleased, if you could sit next to me.", he offerd me a seat and I took place in it. Again I looked around. For now it is quiet here, but that will change.
" I heard you are now our Donghae ́s little sister. Its good to know, that you came along with them.", he broke the silence. Thinking to this morning I smiled: "Yeah. But those two make it very simple for someone. They are very open."
"Well usually not. That is what surprises me a little. So I guess you are here the social butterfly.", he looks at me with a very warm look in his eyes. Maybe I am one.
Sharp the appointment everyone gathered in. Directors, producers, creative stuff and some more people. And then, here they come. EXO. All eight, even I wished that Lay would be here too, but you can ́t get everything in life.
SooMan stood up:" Hello everyone, good to see you all again, before we begin I want you to meet our new member of the Entertainment. Melinda Holmes. She was involved in some projects with international Artists. Please give her a warm welcome." I just stood up and bowed. All eyes on me now, like they want to hear something from me: "So uhm. Yeah. Short to myself, I am Melinda but please call me Mel. I am 23 years old, but came a long way. I hope we get along."
I can hear the whispers. She is so young. She is inexperienced. Can she handle it? Is she a crazy fan? My head fell a little bit down, till one voice was getting loud: "Please Ladies and Gentleman, you even have met her and start gossiping? Only she is younger as our Maknae here?"
A head bopped up and asked: "Whats with me?"
"Okay only physically younger than him.", now I am seeing who is saying all those things. Suho. As the leader he is.
"I am so sorry Melin.. Mel. I am the leader of the group. Suho. But when you want you can call me Junmyeon.", he makes me smile that easy. I asked him: "What do you prefer?" His eyes light up like he was never getting asked something like that: "Than please, Junmyeon." I just nodded and all others where introducing themselves as well. Someone on that table rolled her eyes: "Please, like she wouldn ́t have know that. I didn ́t know that we are hiring now Sesangs."
"Mina enough, If you can ́t keep your professionalism, you know where the door is.", note
to myself, never ever make SooMan angry! Everyone was quiet now. No one dared what to say. Only Jongdae: "YAH! Whats that now! Lets get to work, so that we can go and have dinner!"
"Hyung you inviting?"
"GO BACK TO SLEEP SEHUN!", and everyone just stared laughing
The meeting goes on and on. Now we are at the point for the Solo stages. Kyungsoo, Jongdae and Baekhyun want to show what Vocal power they have individual. Sehun and Jongin want to make out of Chanyeol with their words a dance beast. Junmyeon wanted at first have a Stand up with Dad jokes. But the group intervined and so he will perform the Playboy stage from their previous concerts. Even he and surprisingly Lee SooMan were bitterly sad about it. Minseok decided that he is going to perform Beyond.
We took a little break and I was going to grab a coffee til: "Excuse me? Mel." I looked up and saw Jongdae.
"Ah Jongdae, want some coffee as well?", he just shook his head.
"No but thanks. I just wanted to ask you, if you could direct my Solo stage? It would be an honor.", hol hol hol hold up! Did I hear right? Direct his Stage?? Honor? I choked literally on nothing.
"First. Of Course! Second, It would be my honor and third, why would it be for you an honor, when I direct your Stage?"
"Oh. I asked the Chairman what stages you directed, and there were impressive names under it!", he told me with his smile. I swear. A good friend of mine would have blacked out completely by seeing that smile.
"Oh that. That is yeah. I don ́t know. I never thought about it. It was fun and those people super nice, but Jongdae one more thing. I only co-directed it. Don ́t put your hopes to high in me please.", I tell him. Yes I worked with the big ones. But only Co. Always had a holding hand. But now. I seem to be a little bit alone.
"OH. So I would be your first stage you direct by yourself?", he asked. Thats it Mel. You ruined it. He will say now, Oh if its like that, than I ask someo...
"Great! I would love to be your first!", he clapped in his hands and looked at me very excited.
"Jongdae! How can you say something like that?? Only because you wrote a Handjob Song, you can ́t... Mel I am so so sorry!!", Junmyeon stormed in. Jongdae and I laughed really hard and I had to hold my stomach.
"Junmyeon wait! You misunderstood there something!"
"Yep. Hyung! Definitely and I thought Handjob Song would stay our secret!", he looked to his leader.
Junmyeon understands now nothing, what you can see clear in his look:" I did what?"
"He asked me if I could direct his Solo stage. And it would be my first Stage I am not Co- directing. So he is my first Stage I direct by myself.", now you can see how Junmyeon comes down.
"And I thought Jongdae ruined you. I just wanted to tell you, that you should come back now. The meeting is going to continue."
Back to the meeting, Jongdae told everyone on the table, that he insits, that I am directing his Solostage with him. Most of them were pretty shocked and asked him, if he is really sure. But he didn ́t changed his mind. My big chance to show everyone what I am capable of.
The end of it is, I am co-co directing the Music performances of the band and of course directing Jongdaes Solostage and for the games I am backstage helping the staff.
I packed my stuff up and wanted to leave after the meeting, but eight handsome men stopped me.

"Excuse Me. Mel!", I looked up and saw Chanyeol.
"How can I help you Chanyeol?", I asked him with a smile. I am not going to lie. He. Is. Tall. Like real tall.
"I or better said we, wanted to ask if you want to go eat with us. Our treat. Or better said Junmyeon."
"Hey you brat! What did you say?", Junmyeon stormed in. I giggled and thought about it. But right in the Moment I wanted to say no, Sehun showed up: "I don ́t accept a no! And when I have to treat you!" Everyone just stopped in their doings.
Kyungsoo clapped his hands and said: "Than its set. Mel comes with us and Sehun pays!" All cheered but Sehun: "Yo. Wait. I meant I am only paying for Mel since she is younger, the olders have to pay for the younger ones! Hyungs wait!"
