I really hope that this incident
won’t cause a controversy because I don’t want them to get in trouble but when
we were inside the car, I could feel a strange presence observing us
from afar. I stayed quiet the whole time and it seems Jonghyun was quiet too. I
tried breaking the awkwardness by telling him about my career as a
scriptwriter. That surely lifted the mood up when Jonghyun suggested some
actresses that could be the lead woman. He really is an expert when talking
about female stars. After all that laughter, it seems that the road to our
apartment was full of cars. There was a heavy traffic. Jonghyun suggested that
I should follow him to the broadcasting studio for their performance on one of
the music program. I only agreed as I didn’t want to burden him anymore.
It was
a windy day and I had to hug myself from the coldness. Jonghyun led us to their
resting room which was shared with EXO. As soon as I entered, I was really
shocked to see the members of EXO because there were a dozen of them. I said my
greetings and sat on the sofa when Onew welcomed me happily to the studio for
the first time. I wanted to chat with him more but they had to go on stage for
a pre-recording. I was left in the room with some of the members of EXO because
I counted there were only seven of them when there are supposed to be twelve.
Two makeup artists were doing their jobs. I wanted to talk to them and get to
know them better but I guess I was nervous or something because I kept hugging
myself from the coldness before. I don’t know why but I still get the chill
even if I’m indoors. Everytime I glanced at them there were glancing back at
me. I ignored them and took out my small laptop from my bag and started typing
for the third episode. As I was typing, one of them walked up to me and handed
me a jacket. “Here, you look like you’re going to die from coldness” he said.
Okay, that was really a sarcastic thing to say but I only looked at the coat
and back at him. “It’s okay, its Taemin’s. I’m sure he won’t mind about it” he
said confidently. Speaking of Taemin, I remembered about Kai who was one of
EXO. “Er… thank you. By the way, who’s Kai?” “Oh? Kai? He just went out a
couple of minutes ago. Considering that you don’t recognize who Kai is, I’m
guessing that you don’t know our names?” I just shook my head and he went to
the other side of the room where the other members were and exclaimed “Hana,
dul, set! (one, two, three) We are
ONE! Annyeonghaseyo EXO imnida (Hello,
we are EXO)!” They bowed and said their names one by one – D.O, Suho, Kris,
Chanyeol, Luhan, Sehun and Baekhyun. The one who talked to me earlier was Suho.
After I introduced myself, we started talking to each other. I told them about
Taemin’s kittens Ace and Kai when suddenly, another member entered the room and
Chanyeol started meowing for no reason. The others joined him as well. I guess
that was Kai. “What’s wrong with you guys?” said Kai while looking at his lunatic
members and started laughing. “Hey, did you know that Taemin had ‘kept’
you as a pet this whole time?” said Suho while making his eyes bigger. “What
are you talking about?” Kai seemed really curious. “Aiman ssi here, told us
that Taemin kept two kittens and one of them was named Kai because he’s
reminded of you” said Baekhyun while pointing his finger to my direction.
“What? He named a kitten after my name? He promised not to name it Kai…” he
said to himself. “What? You already knew about this?” said Luhan. “Wait, they
aren’t just Taemin’s right? They’re also YOURS?” Chanyeol exclaimed. Then the
other members started to laugh out loud. I join in the laugh and the door was
wide open. It was Minho and the rest, they’ve finished pre-recording and was
surprised to see me talking to the other members. “What are you guys talking
about?” said Minho while sitting on the sofa next to me. I just shifted a bit
because it wasn’t very comfortable for me sitting next to him this close.
Suddenly, Kai walked up to Taemin when I was about to tell him that I was
borrowing his jacket. “I thought you promised not to name it Kai?” Kai only
whispered to Taemin and he seemed pretty shocked about it. He turned to my
direction with those bulging eyes. I looked away and Taemin blurted out “You
told them?” “Mianhe (sorry)…” I really am regretting what I just did and felt
sorry for Taemin. He looked back at Kai and explained. “What’s wrong with
them?” I was surprised when I heard a deep voice by my ear when my eyes were
locked on Taemin and Kai, worried that they might argue about it. I turned
around and it was Minho. “Nothing” I simply answered back. He just looked at me
for a few seconds and turned his head to Jonghyun and started talking to him.
“Aiman
ssi, come on. I’ll send you back home” Jonghyun suggested. “SHINee, another 10
minutes and you’re on stage again” a man entered the room. I guess he must be
one of the crews. I looked back at Jonghyun and said “You know what, staying
here a bit longer wouldn’t hurt right?” he just nodded as a sign of agreement
to my suggestion. I continued typing and suddenly my brain was jammed for a
while so I took a chance to take a walk outside. As I was going outside, Key
wanted to tag along. He wanted to get a grab of some hot drinks before going
back. After getting our drinks, we realized that the distance between the
coffee shop and back to the room was really far away. So Key decided to make it
a race to see who could make it faster. While we were running, one of my heels
broke off. It was actually a bit embarrassing to me because I realized that the
shoe was already worn out and I didn’t notice that at all. I remembered about
the shoes that I bought earlier with Jonghyun so I suggested we walked back to
the room but Key declined by saying “No! I am not walking with someone who just
broke off their shoes on purpose. I would be totally embarrassed about it” As
usual, Key with his sarcastic comments. “Wait here, I’ll go and get those shoes
for you” he said while pushing me to sit down at a bench nearby. He walked away
without saying a word and left me. Suddenly, I felt the weird presence
again but then Key appeared with a bag in his hand. It was the blue high heels
that I bought earlier. “Gomawo (thanks)” I said. Key was going to help put it
on but I took the shoes out of his hand and wore it instantly. “Kaja (let’s
go)!” I said while taking the lead. I looked back a little and saw him giggling
at me. I don’t know why. We arrived back just in time before they had to go on
stage. Key took a last preparation by putting on some black eyeliner. That’s so
Key, a diva. While they’re on stage, I continued typing my script. The room
felt at ease as there was no one around except for a few makeup artists talking
to each other. Finally, I finished the third episode and they were back with a
trophy in their hands. Taemin was screaming and singing the chorus of their new
song repeatedly. Seeing him like that made me put a smile on my face eventhough
I was really tired staying in that room for almost 5 hours I think. They were
taking their things with them and we left the studio. I rode with Jonghyun with
his car and Taemin tagged along while the others just rode their van. As soon
as I got in the car, I fell asleep right away. Somehow while I was asleep, I
heard some voices in my mind “Minho… Kid… Marry… Rachel…” I really don’t
understand anything so I just kept sleeping from the tiredness.
As
soon as we arrived, I was already wide awake. We walked together to our own
apartment and I just threw all my things on the table and dropped myself on the
sofa. I was really tired to walk into my room so I just slept there.

The
sun was shining brightly through the window and I got up. After I freshen
myself, I went to the kitchen and took a bowl, a spoon, a carton of milk and a
box of cereal. As I was taking the first bite I had a strange feeling that I dreamed
about something weird last night. After taking a few more spoonfuls of cereals
I remembered about my dream instantly. I was about to cough everything out but
I refrain myself from doing so. The dream. Yes. I remember now. I dreamed that
Minho got married with Rachel and had a child. As I was thinking about it, I
heard a voice of a little boy yelling from outside. I walked outside and saw a
little boy in front of their house ringing the doorbell for what it seems like
forever. “What are you doing?” I asked him and he turned into my direction. I
was really shocked when I saw his face. It couldn’t be. It just couldn’t. “I
was trying to call Minho appa (dad)” My pupils grew bigger as soon as I heard
him mentioned ‘appa’.
