The journalists kept asking about me, and Baekhyun turns to tell me to head inside and wait for him instead. After noticing how uncomfortable I am. When I get inside, Leo joins me and leads me up some grand steps and introduces me to people and I'm confused, why was he doing this? When Leo takes me to a table and lets me sit down, and I smile, I have my seat at this event. I now felt special. I was also sitting next to Baekhyun, and as I look to my left, I see the name Yixing. I know that that's Lay's real name. I look around, trying to spot Baekhyun somewhere. And I pick up my phone to see three missed calls from Junmyeon. I text him and tell him I'll contact him later. The reply was faster than I expected, and smiles. 'Just wanted to check in on you, did Leo lure you out in the dress?' I send a selfie of me sitting at my seat. 'wow, just wow.' was all I got back, and I blush.

Lay:
Seeing Baekhyun at this event was refreshing, my manager told me where my seat would be. Most managers didn't sit with us, but the buzz of Exo's new manager being a bit of a rock star herself. I was curious; I had only seen half good blurry pics. Let's say Sehun wasn't the best photographer, and Junmyeon didn't want to share the staff's pics. So they were no help. As I walk towards the table, the long flowy hair of a girl next to my seat catches my attention instantly. She looks around like she's looking for something. Her back is bare, and only one arm covered with fabric. As she's about to stand up, I see Baekhyun approach her. She seems to ease up a bit. She's enchanting.
As I observe them, he seems like his evident cheerful self. She looks like she's having just as a good time. And I suddenly feel jealous of Baekhyun. I want to have that good of a time with her. When I finally see her face, I recognize her from Seulgi's Instagram live a while back. She has to be a singer, right? That can't be the manager. When Baekhyun seems to excuse himself for a bit, it's time that I make my move.

Lily:
I stifle a yawn; I feel exhausted. Baekhyun left for the bathroom, leaving me in my seat. "I wonder if I can get a coffee," I say to myself. As I stand up, I hear a voice behind me; "I guess you're my dinner date?" As I turn, his dark hair is perfectly styled; he looks like an Asian-greek god. I better not say that to Junmyeon.
His smile was warm, and as he sits down on my left side, I now recognize him, images don't do him justice. "Actually, I'm Baekhyun's date," I say softly as I turn to look at him. He smiled, and he has this cocky smile, I haven't experienced before, but what can I say. He's attractive; I'll give him that. "Oh, don't worry, Baek and I share everything." He says in a teasing manner. He places his arm on the back of my chair, looking all sultry. All I could think about is Junmyeon though, should I tell Lay I'm dating him? Does he know?
"Hyung." Lay suddenly says as he gets up and hugs Baekhyun, who smiles full and embraces his friend: "It's so good to see you, "Beakhyun said with a wide smile. What is it with these boys when they remeet, seem to forget all about me. The whole scenario makes me think of Junmyeon and Sehun this past summer. It actually makes me smile.
Lay and Baekhyun sit down next to me on each side: "Have you had the honor to meet the one and only?" Baekhyun says and gestures towards me; "Makes me sound all important." Baek laughs and nods; "She's very important." Lay smiles; "So it was you; you're the new manager." As I nod and smile softly: "Had I known, I would have come back sooner." He says and winks, and I roll my eyes. "Don't tell me; you're a flirt too?" Lay chuckled, and Baekhyun shook his head: "She's off-limits." He says with a knowing smile.
------------------------------------
Thankfully the night progressed quickly, and as we get back at the hotel, Baekhyun looks so pleased and relaxed, "Did you have fun?" I ask as we stand in the elevator. "Yeah, it was good to see Lay again, to be honest." He said with a soft smile on his lips: "He's a flirt, isn't he?" I ask, and Baek laughs; "Don't worry, ones Junmyeon tells him about you two, he'll chill." I chuckle and shake my head. "It's been a long day; it's going to be great to get back home." I sigh; "To Junmyeon," Baek says and wiggles his eyebrows.
------------------------------------
The ride back from China was bumpy, so using wifi and such on the plane was basically not existing. So when we landed and my phone finally had a full function. But nothing seemed to be normal anymore. I had 237 missed calls from management, and three missed calls from the head courters. "Fuck," Baek says as he checks his phone as he hands it over to me.
"Exo Lay leaves the hotel after entering with a blond girl, who's now identified as EXO's new manager." A picture of Lay having his hand on my back as he leans in and whispers. And a second one with a female entering a hotel with him, with a girl with the same hair color as me but she has his jacket on her so you can't see the rest of the dress. I feel my heartbreak, and I pick up my phone and call Junmyeon. "It's not true." I almost shout down the line as he answers.
"I know." He replies calmly, "But it's not me you have to convince." He replies softly: "We are waiting outside in a wan, but it's packed with photographers, so cover your face, and let the security help you out." I hung up and looked at Baekhyun, and I suddenly feel entirely defeated; "Let's face this shit storm." He says, gently placing his hand on his shoulder.
