When I first heard of EXO from my friend, I just shook my head and smiled at her current crushes wondering how long this one will last. She even made me watch a track and I only did it to save our friendship.
An year later, I was as crazy for them as anyone could be. I am watching all of their MVs on loop. I start on EXO Next door and EXO showtime. I woo over their visuals, I choose my ult Bias that honestly changes everyday so I've given up on choosing a favourite. I complete watching all their TV appearances and concert clips. I learn their profiles by heart so that there wouldnt be fact I would miss. I got indulged in all the scandal and back stories. I stream, I vote and I promote. I looked up for other groups too until I finally came to terms that there was no other than this group to have this kind of affect on me.
That even if some other music band does rise up, though improbable, but let's say even higher than Exo, I'll always stay loyal to this 9 piece. I would never hesitate to name them as my 'one and only'.
I was overdosed, obsessed and totally going down down. They were my only star, my moonlight.
(Is it just me who finds this picture extremely cute )😍
Dunno why I'm stating all this cause you guys are probably thinking, yeah yeah been there, done that. And I agree because this has been such a long journey that I'm surprised to know that it's only been half a dozen years. I mean bro?! When you're an eri, everyday is so damn exciting that you almost lose track of time. All through these years, both, EXO and us (though I don't see them apart from us) have gone through so much. Last few chapters are a a simple evidence and be aware that I haven't even started on the struggles yet. But at the end of the day, it was always us, together. And nothing more mattered than that.
But enough with EXO, today I'm going to talk about us. It's our day.
L-1485
We see this code/date almost everywhere. And if you haven't, well just look at Chanyeol's hand dude, he literally has our birthdate pasted upon him. When I come to think of it, every minute we spent voting and following them, keeping ourselves updated on their latest news, singing along their music, doing the challenges, defending furiously when anybody talked shit about them, writing bloody long fanfictions about them and collecting the merch... It was worth it.
It was worth it because at the end of the day, I got to see Baekhyun's heart warming smile and his light jokes to always bring up a smile on our faces, I experienced Suho's thoughtful attitude and Sehun's adorable brattiness. We saw Chanyeol's fierce passion and Kyungsoo juggling acting and singing over the top of his fingers so effortlessly. I get to see Kai's hear melting smile and Xiumin's sweet voice. Not to mention, Chen's beautiful covers and sassy remarks. We saw Lay, rising so high in the sky, though far yet always beside us. 💖
I know sometimes we Eris get a little disheartened. Especially this year, it's been a pretty rough one but can you say that your love for them has diminished? Ofcourse not. It's an undeniable fact that we can never get over them. Yes we'll grow old but never grow out of this. Moving on isn't an option.
Even when we're forty something, the mention of a group called Exo by a bunch of silly teenagers ( like us) will always make out heart skip a beat. Electricity will jolt through our veins when we will glance at the calendar and see a member's birthdate. Because the truth is, we're not here to see them get bloody awards and titles. We're here to witness their happiness and our growth with them. And that we'll get until the day we're breathing. 😘
AND ONE MORE LESS-IMPORTANT THING...!!! Today is not only our sixth anniversary but 5th August also marks the first year to this book. Hehe, I know , silly, but it just occurred to me that I started this book on th same day last year. Well, applause for me because despite claiming to be a huge eri, I only managed to come up with six chapters. Yet, I hope this was help for you and the newbies.
And I'm telling y'all, more like warning you that bigger blows will come and hit us at moments we expect the least because it's EXO darling, and that basically translates to being unpredictable. It's not your regular K-pop group with simple missions, and only-good music. This is Nation's pride we're talkin' about, the king of our hearts. ❤️ So my point is, that with more storms to come, I wish we'll survive them all as one. Because I'm kinda proud of our fandom, it has become strong enough to face anything for the boys.
So cheers to another six years, which is basically so less because we have an infinite time left. I hope the Eris will always be there for EXO, and that Exo will never forget to amaze us with great music.
But again, got no doubts there 'cause, as I've said before, 'Nobody does music like EXO. And nobody is a fandom like EXO-LS. Happy birthday to you and me! ❤️
(Sorry for this non informative update, I literally came up with this in an hour. But I promise a spicy next chapter!!)
Yes you guessed it right, it's time to discuss the beloved girlfriends.I Im just waiting for a couple more girls to add in the list so that I'll have a loaded update 😉
Till then, good bye! Thanks for putting up with this! ❤️
