Living with EXO

Tara

"Ehh??" I said in confusion.

"The netizens are hating on you because of the pictures."

"P-pictures?"

"Yup, pictures. The picture of D.O. and you cooking isn't the only one. And they thought you were just 'some girl'."

"Mwoh?! How..?"

"Tara, the sasaengs are really a thing, you know." Suho states.

"To decrease your antis, you need to earn your fans. Tara, you'll be in a 7-member girl group,"

"But-"

"and, you have to date Baekhyun."

"MWOH?!" Baekhyun and I exclaimed at the same time.

Aish ㅠㅠ who would've thought that living with exo would be this hard?! Things escalate so quickly.

♥♥

"Appa.. can't it be L oppa? Or Woohyun oppa? Or Sunjong oppa? Sungyeol oppa will do too. Such as D.O. oppa. But why Baekhyun oppa?" I whined once we were alone in dad's office.

"Why, don't you like Baekhyun?" dad asked.

"He's my friend, appa. It would be sooo awkward if we would pretend. Plus, it won't look natural since I don't like him in any way. Only as a friend." I said.

"My daughter, don't speak too soon. You might choke on your words later on." my dad smirked and patted me on the head and left his office, leaving me dumbfounded.

I pouted and followed him out. My head was bowed down with my lips pouted. I went downstairs and accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh, joesonghamnida." I bowed and continued walking, not caring who the person was.

"Yah, Tara~!" a familiar voice said.

I stopped in my tracks and turned around, "Myungsoo oppa~!"

♥♥

Myungsoo and I ended up going to Gong Cha for some bubble tea. He sensed that my mood wasn't my usual one.

"So, why the long face?" He asked, sipping his bubble tea.

"I don't know if I can tell you.."

Myungsoo held my hand which made me smile a bit, "Tara, you can trust me."

I looked up to him to see a smiling Myung.

I sighed, "Dad wants me to debut already-"

"Really?! That's great~!"

"Y-yeah, but, he wants me to date Baekhyun so fans won't label me as 'some girl living with exo'."

"What?!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah."

He sighed, "Maybe it's for your own good, Tara. Just think of your crush while you're with Baekhyun. That way, you can do it naturally~"

"Really? Thanks, oppa." I smiled.

"Oh, and one more thing: I want to warn you that you might fall."

"F-fall? What do you-"

"Tara! Myunggie!" says Woohyun oppa upon entering the cafe.

"Tsk. If it weren't for the new kitchen set, I wouldn't be here." complained D.O..

"Shh! Shut up! You'll blow our cover!" I shhed him.

"Arasseo, arasseo." Kyungsoo rolled his eyes.

I've been stalking- no- watching over Tara since she and L entered Gong Cha. I didn't mean to, tho. It was purely coincidental that they chose to come here.

Uncle Sooman informed me that I'll be "dating" Tara. I was more than happy. But it seems like she feels awkward about the whole thing.

"Oh, and one more thing: I want to sfgsbwusndhdbdusb" I heard L say. The last part was barely audible tho, if it weren't for this big-eyed lunatic beside me who was continuously jabbering about his new kitchen set that I promised him if he were to come with me.

"Shut up you idiot! I couldn't hear what they are talking about-"

"Excuse me, sirs, If you aren't gonna order anything, I think it's best to leave the place. I'm sorry, manager's orders." said the waitress, the last line in a whisper.

"주미" Her nametag read.

D.O. smiled at the girl, "I-I'm sorry. I'll just order a w-wintermelon. Make it large, p-please." he stammered. Yep, he likes her.

"Alright, sir." she blushed and smiled back.

"Yah! Aren't you gonna treat me?" I smacked Kyungsoo playfully.

"Nope." He gave me a straight face and diverted his attention to the pretty waitress.

She giggled.

I saw Woohyun enter the cafe which made Tara's smile widen even more.

Gee, I wish we were close like that.

Kyungsoo busied himself by flirting with Jumi.

"Oh~! Unnie, we'll be debuting together?" I said excitedly.

"Ne~!" Kei unnie smiled.

"You'll be debuting with Yein, Jisoo, Jin, Sujeong and BabySoul too." Dad smiled.

"What will be our group name, then?"

"It was supposed to be Lovelyz (A/N: I'm a fan ♥) but I decided it to be Shooting Star instead." explained dad.

Kei unnie and I nodded.

"Tara, you'll have a song in the album with Baekhyun so-"

"Wut?!"

What is this? It's all happening too fast.

I don't even know how to sing as good as Luna sunbaenim. I know how to dance, and I love dancing, I could pick up steps easily, but I am not as good of a dancer as Kai oppa. Aish~ What is this?

♥♥

As I laid down in bed, memoried of today flooded my mind.

"You might fall."

What "fall"? Fall as in.. fall in love? B-Baekhyun is my friend. And I like Myungsoo and Woohyun oppa~!

Watch it, Tara. Don't speak too soon.
