Think you really know EXO? Well, I...
Well of course, that's a stupid question because anybody reading this definitely knows the basic facts but in case you're a newbie or reading this as a time pass, I'll be kind enough to remind you.
IT'S OUR BOYS' EIGHT ANNIVERSARY!!! Did you hear that? E-I-G-H-T-H---!!! That's how you spell it!
My feed is packed with messages for EXO from all the people around me. They are so full of love, devotion and support and appreciation that I actually started to tear up ( let me tell, it ain't a regular occurrence) My eyes became glossy and I had to wipe them off if I didn't want anyone in the room to notice. Well anyway, enough about me. (I'll write another book about that).
So.... Anniversary, huh? To be honest, these eight years weren't easy at all, nothing was a piece of cake. Neither for us and especially nor for them. I mean nine years ago, somewhere somebody (god bless him) thought of making a group that will suck all air out from us yet still fill us with so much life, one that would be impossible to replace and remove.
The insuppressible, the infallible, irresistible, unavoidable, unstoppable EXO.
It's like how a family is, isn't it? You live every moment with them; all the laughs, all the tears, all the drama, all the pain. Right now, we are at a point that we really are a family. The comebacks and the non-existent promotion following it. The mistreatment on award shows even at times by their agency, the international shows we are still dying for, fighting online like gorillas for the boys. Covering the trends, their dance moves, the strange pick-up lines. Adorable IG and Vlives, the memes, the world tours, the spoilers, the fan meets the earth-shattering concepts, the solos, the sub-groups, the acting. The scandals that we love so much, their babies we are still waiting for and another eight years to come.
We are one isn't words. It isn't a motto. And it's not even a slogan.
It's a feeling.
The sooner you feel it, the better.
The extent to which our boys have suffered, it's almost impossible to not be this big now. But the thing is. . . with every success, comes a heavy price to pay, a whole lot to sacrifice and compromise on.
I mean isn't something like that Newton's third law? Something about actions and reactions?
Oh, which reminds me I have to pick where we left. I know this is a terrible time to start on something dreadfully painful and nostalgic. But I'm sorry, I'm a bitch, I have to do this.

Life was good in 2011-12-13-14- uh, yes up till then. Yes, they had a lot to bear when they hadn't made the breakout but that didn't stay like that. EXO did eventually became the biggest and best thing ever happened to this world. And what's a little pain when we're together, right? Little did they know, it wasn't going to stay like that for long either.
