Look At Me 날 봐 (AN EXO FANFICTION: Chen) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 5

▪️Baechun▪️

I thought I could find the answers to my questions, but as the days had passed, I have not given any interests on it.

What's important for me was that the club is becoming better with Changgu oppa and Jongdae Oppa. But I cannot deny the seldom and cold talks of Jongdae oppa and Jina unnie.
I felt a connection between the three of them but I am so occupied to know more.

Jongdae oppa has been so kind to me. Aside from the other seniors, he was the one who guided me all throughout the months.

I have to admit, though I was just a first grader, I started to like Jongdae oppa. Does he also feel the same way for me? Maybe not.

***

Our club participated in the cultural school festival. Aside from singing the national anthem, we also had our presentation as ten members.
I was happy, Jongdae oppa joined us despite his schedule outside school. I heard he was a trainee in SME but I don't want to know more about.
If it's true, he really deserved it. He has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
I wish I could be like him.. I wish I could join SME.

I was here in the clubroom to get my bag after the event when I heard two people talking going inside.

"Jongdae.. can we talk?"
It was Jina unnie.. I don't want to eavesdrop but I don't want to be seen here too.

I fit myself behind the sofa and zipped my mouth.

Jongdae oppa and Jina unnie sat on the bench and sofa near where I hide.

"What is there to talk about Jina?"
"Oppa.. I can't take it that you avoid me. It's killing me. I thought we were friends."
"Yes we were.."
"But why are you treating me this way? Was it because of what happened last year?"
There was silence.
"What happened last year should be forgotten. We shouldn't have talked now."
Paaak! Did she just slap him?
"I loved you Jongdae..And I still do.You loved me right? "
Am I hearing right? Jina unnie loved Jongdae oppa.
"It was before.. but not anymore. I am sorry Jina."
And there were loud footsteps and a strong bang of the door.

Have they left?
"You can show yourself now"
Ha? Is Jongdae oppa referring to me? So that means..he knew I was there all the time. Heol!
I stood up from where I was hiding.

"Sorry Oppa.. I didnt mean to overhear you. I was supposed to get my bag when you and Jina unnie came in. I am really sorry Oppa."
I bowed and walked to the door.

"She is really just like you."
I turned around. Who does he mean?
"My little sister, Jochen."
Jongdae oppa had a little sister? I never knew.
"She likes pigtails, she wears round eye glasses and wear cute clothes. She was the most precious person to me. She even told me that when she grew up, she would become a singer in SME."
He sighed.
"But it will never happen. Last year, she was diagnosed of leukemia. Because of that I spent most of the time with her in the hospital and I rarely visit the club I, Changgu hyung and Jina oppa loved. "
Changgu oppa? Jina Unnie? What does he mean?
"Changgu hyung, Jina and I were very close friends since middle school. When we entered highschool, all three of us decided to join the Glee Club. There were a lot of members then. Until last year when I became the president, Jina confessed to me. I liked her so we had a relationship. Changgu hyung knew about us and got angry. He liked her for a very long time so I broke up with her. That was the time my sister's health got worse...and left us at the age of ten"
And I see tears in his eyes. He slowly wiped it and continued.
"After that, I promised to myself that I will become a singer for my sister. I joined SME and barely came to school. Changgu hyung and Jina, still mad at me, disagreed my decision but they can't do anything about it. So, they both left the club." He finished.

"That is why my oppa had changed since last year. I am sorry for what happened to your sister Oppa. It was maybe hard for you running this club. " The only thing I said to him.

"Don't be sorry. Honestly, I am ending my role here in this club."
"Ending your role? What do you mean?" I am totally confused right now.
"That night when you entered the room and saw me, that was supposed to be the last night I came here before I left school and focused more on my training. But when I saw you. I saw your smile and your determination to sing that reminded me so much of my sister. Just then I decided to stay."

I can't believe everything that he said. He was supposed to leave but he chose to stay because of me.
I am now speechless.

" Oppa.. "
" And now the time has come. I hope to see you succeed in the future Baechuna. I know you can."
And he left the room.

I thought we'd see each other again. But that was the last.

2019

And then I saw him again four years ago right in front of me.

Right after EXO debuted, I knew to myself that Jongdae oppa made it.
He became so famous and everybody called him Chen-probably he got the name from his sister who inspired him to be a singer.

I was the happiest person when we met again in SME. He seemed to know but he didn't show it. Nevertheless, he was still the kind Jongdae oppa I once knew.. and I liked.

But things have changed and I had my own decisions. I left the studio I once worked and decided to become a singer myself. In this way, I can help my family and my brother.. And be the one that he would like.

"Okay girls.. I gathered you here because you have new co-trainees. Come in girls." I was back to my senses when five girls went inside the training room.
The girls introduced theirselves when one name caught my attention.
"Hello.. I am Im Risa, 23 years old. I hope we can be friends."
This is really Im Risa. Another coincidence.

"Im Risa!" I called her after the introduction. She turned around. She became more and more beautiful.
She came near me and hugged me.
"Baechunie? Wow.. You trained here? I thought you were in JGS?"
Risa didn't know I was in SME as well, she would freak out to know.
"I finished my contract there. So this is the company you told me that you're going to enter? What happened to your previous company?"
"Ehm.. it was a long story. But I am so happy I finally meet you again. Is Aunt Chaeyeon also in Seoul?"
"Yes. She worked in a coffee shop here. You can visit her anytime you're free."
And we two chit-chat.. It's so good to have a friend near you.

"By the way, I received an email that Imja High School will have it's alumni homecoming next month. Are you going?"
Homecoming? You mean a reunion?
"I don't know.. if we are allowed."
"Oh we are.. we just have to ask permission as early as today. I'll go ask our team manager."
Risa went out of the room and I was left dumbfounded.

'Reunion? It's been a long time then'

-----------------------------------------------------------
So that was the story of Baechun's life in highschool.

They will have a reunion. Will this be a way to remember all the events they had before?

Thank you readers ❤️
