Chanyeol
5 years later
The make-up artist put some blushes over my cheeks as I kept scrolling down through my Instagram account. After our graduation we all were put together in a Boy kpop band named 'EXO' and we debut our first album named 'XOXO' which hit the billboard for the first time in Kpop history.
We came to the spotlight and we got more fans after the release of the song 'Growl'. Now, it's been 5 years since we are in EXO, but only 9 members are in group currently after Kris, Luhan and Tao left the group for their solo artist life. We can't do anything, so we let them go. But still we are always 12 as one. EXO is represented for 12 members. Our Eri loves us so much. Then what else we need, when we have got the best fans in the entire music industry? I feel so proud of being a member of EXO.
"Sir? You are done with make-up." The make-up artist said. I smiled at her and stood up from my chair. We guys are getting ready for the interview of our new album release, though we've are well-versed in stage and speaking in front of people, I still have some fear whenever I climb up the stage.
"Okay! EXO get ready." Our manager said. I looked at the other guys who looked more handsome than me.
"Woah! Chanyeol ah! You look incredible." Xiumin said. I chuckled.
"Unlike you, hyung." I said mocking him. We all walked from our dressing room to the stage.

During the interview
The audience side was too crowded, that I noticed there were many fans have come for the program to see us. I took a breath and exhaled it slowly. I opened my eyes again and looked at the MC.
"So, Tell us about the new album." He said.
"It's a different one, with different style we brought it with a new concept. So, we hope that our fans will like it for sure." Suho said.
"Oh! That's great." The MC said.
"So uhm.. This question is for Chanyeol." He said through mic. I asked him 'is it me?' in mute pointing towards me. He nodded chuckling.
"Yes yes Chanyeol. The fans are so excited to know about it. Are you dating someone?" He asked which made the crowd go crazy and many were screaming. I kind of blushed and then looked at him.
"No. I don't." I said smiling, but still the fans haven't stopped screaming.
"Have you ever had a girlfriend?" He asked me the question which I never wished to hear in my life. My smile faded.
"Uhm... No. It was long back. But, not love. Just a crush." I lied. I did lie. I know my fans know about me and Shin Ah story as it went wild all around Korea and then it ended up with my fans talking bullshits about her leaving negative comments. I once yelled at them in public, saying they've got no rights to talk about whom I love and not.
Hopefully, they understood for what I said and from then they stopped hitching her. None of the fans talks about our love life.
"Okay we'll end up the session with this last question. Would you like to tell your fans something?" He asked us.
"Yes! Our fans are really so incredible and amazing. I can say there are more talented people among the crowd. All they need to do is pull all their courage and show up their selves for what they wanted in life. Because we were in their places long ago. Everyone has got a talent, all they need to do is show up their selves and never give up." Suho said.
"Wow! That was great Suho." The MC said. The fans started to cheer us with applause.
"Okay! Thank you EXO. It was a great evening and I wish you all the success for your upcoming album." The MC said winding up the program.

An hour later
We all came back to our dorm after the interview. I put my coat on the floor and jumped on the couch. I was surprised that the other boys were not tired still, but they were talking about to play some games after getting freshened. I didn't mind. I leaned back and was about to go to sleep but some one came screaming my name.
"CHANYEOL AH! CHANYEOL AH! CHANYEOL AH! CHANYEOL AH! CHANYEOL AH!" it was baekhyun.
"YAAAA! BACON! Won't you stop calling out my name in the most awkward way?" I said giving him a death glare.
"Ya ya! That doesn't matter right now. Have you heard about the 'The S girls' pop group "? He asked me. I raised an eyebrow before turning back to the TV screen.
"Hey I am asking you." He shouted.
"I don't find time to pay attention to other groups." I said slamming him off with my answer.
"But I guess, you've got to get to know about them for some sake." He said as he kept scrolling through something on his phone.
"The S girls, is an MPOP which is famous in China. It was named because all the girls form the band have their names starting with the letter 'S'. They have been debuting for past 3 years and have won more than 10 awards. They are popular and we didn't notice that till now. Shouldn't we be ashamed of that?" he asked me. I shoot a death glare.
"There are 5 girls in that band. Yea! Have a look at it." He gave me his phone. I grabbed it from him and looked at the photo. There were 5 girls, I scanned through the picture and finally my eyes landed on someone as my eyes went wide looking at the girl standing at the centre of the group. I was shocked. I find no words as I felt numb.
"Shin ah?!" I muttered in shock.
"Yes! It's Shin ah." He said. I moved my gaze from the phone to him. He looked at me and nodded his head.
"It's her. She's a celebrity too." He said which gave me chills.
