What was in the pen drive, which made me cry a lot?
It was the video of the party, which we attended the previous day. A camera followed our every step, captured our every moment after we entered that banquet hall. When we were sitting, when we went on stage and when they gave performance and when I sang. Everything was captured and it was edited beautifully.

Every small detail which I wanted to cherish, which I wrote in my diary after coming back, was there in the video. The video was edited in such a way that I was the main character that day and everything was revolving around me. I loved every scene and it brought tears in my eyes. It even captured our eyes. When I was looking at them, when they were looking at me, when I was blushing etc etc everything. Who would not cry after getting such a princess like treatment..

That day, I didn't came out of the room. I told mom that I was not feeling, so didn't eat anything. My mom got worried, she called my friends.

By the evening, I got a call from Rakhi, when I picked up, it was a conference call.

"Is everything okay?" Navi asked worryingly.

"Your mother called us saying that you didn't came out of the room, whole day after coming back from somewhere..is everything fine?"
Manisha asked.

"Where were you? Did something happened there?" Rakhi asked too..

I was in complete silence.

"Won't you say anything?" They asked again.

"I went to airport, to drop Mr. Kim and Mr. Loey, remember them?" I started telling them.

"Yes,then? Did they do something wrong?We are not going to leave them alone, if they had done.." Rakhi said angrily.

"No..they didn't..they are the best people in the world..you know who were they" My voice raised a bit.
"They were Exo's Suho and Chanyeol!!!" I told them finally.

"What??? They were Exo..the famous K-pop group.. about whom you always used to talk..and Chanyeol too?? Your bias??" They exclaimed.

I told them the whole story that happened with me from day 1. They were quite shocked. I showed them their pics and then they realized they were real.

"So you were really with Exo..aww poor girl! You must be missing them a lot now." Manisha said.

"Yes, a lot..and their gift and this video is so beautiful..they are really the best. Who does such things to their fan? They are the best" I couldn't speak further.

"No..you were not just a fan for them.." Navi said.

"I think they liked you..I don't know in which way but I am sure they did..they wanted to treat you the best way they can..either as a friend or as a women.."

"What rubbish" I said swiping my tears.

"Yes!! You believe it or not..they like you..I guess they will try their best to remain in touch with you..if they can." Manisha said affirmatively.

"No, you all are taking it in a wrong way. It's not like that..I am just a fan for them who met them luckily and helped them." I tried to prove them wrong.
Next half an hour.. I just kept denying what they were saying. And they kept insisting.

"Okay bring that video tomorrow. We will watch it together." Rakhi said.

"But for now, don't take much stress.." Manisha tried consoling me.

"I know..it's like you just woke up from a big good dream..but now it's time to get back to work. You have to do many things in real life. Take those memories in your heart and protect it but don't try to threaten yourself with those memories." Navi tried to comfort me.

They explained me many this or that. They told me to live with it but not to get lost in those memories. I understood what they were telling.

Time passed.

After 1 week, I finally got admission in PhD program with the help of Dev Sir. He helped me a lot to get admitted. I was going to join soon in the lab. We four were together again in BHU..not in the same department but yes our faculty was same.

I didn't receive any call or message after that day..neither from Suho nor from Chanyeol. I had already explained myself that 'yes, they are the idols, too busy and very far away from you. You can't expect anything from them.'

I was happy living with those memories. At night I usually watch that video for once before going to sleep. It used to provide me lots of positive energy that yes, I am someone important and I need to cherish myself.

Nearly, 15 days passed. I got busy with my project works. I shifted in the hostel again, but this time..I had to live alone in one room. Although we 3 were not living together but they were in the building next to mine. We used to go to our faculty together but returning time was not fixed. But somehow we managed to go,in the mess, together for dinner.

I was happy now and adopted well with my new environment or schedule. Before coming to hostel, I have already told everything to my mom. She didn't gave much reaction, she just said to be careful coz celebrities can't be trusted much.

I surrounded myself from kdramas world. I started watching 2 episodes every day before sleeping. But I rarely watch exo news or exo songs now..I don't know why whenever I used to watch all those..it was as if someone was pinching my heart badly..it used to hurt a lot. I started distancing myself from Exo for my sake for my piece of mind.

One day, I got late while returning back from my lab. It was six in the evening..dusk time..still some day light was there. I was just walking by plugging earphones in my ears. Suddenly, my song stopped, I heard the ringtone..I took out my phone from pocket.

I read the name on display..
"Chanyeol Ajusshi"
