Chapter 8
<My POV>
After we finished having our lunch, We headed to the filming studio for the CF filming.
During the filming, I had a long chat with Min Hyuk. He told me that every month, there will be a consultation personally with Mr Lee Soo Man to keep track on my progress. He also told me that this was just the start and there were even more tiring trainings to come once I was placed with my group or I was decided to go on solo.
I dreaded more tiring trainings.
The CF filming took shorter than expected. Before I knew it, they were done and we were in the van ready to go.
"So where should we go?" Chen asked.
"Myeongdong!" Baekhyun squealed.
"YAY! LETS GO!"
The van instantly became some Concert. The boys started singing History and Growl.
I wasn't familiar with the song so I just happily clapped along to the song.
"Hey Kae Li! You have heard us sing already! Now it's you'r turn!" Chanyeol shouted and they all turned and look at me.
"What my turn?"
"Sing a song for us!"
"YEAH!"
"Kae Li! Kae Li! Kae Li!"
"OK!" I shouted. "fine."
"YAY!"
I didn't know what to sing so I just sang
After A Long Time by Baek Ji Young from the korean drama Roof Top Prince.

I finished at the end of the first chorus as I didn't want to song the whole song.
They stared at me.
"Hey why did you stop?" Lay asked.
"I don't want to sing the whole song..."
"Woah. Was that really you singing?" Luhan asked.
"Eh... I don't think there is another girl in the van other than Kae Li." replied Sehun.
"And so this is why they call her the next BoA..." Chanyeol said in amazement.
They clapped and cheered after a whil of amazement.
We continued to sing other songs, until we reached myeongdong.
Before we left the van, the boys wore their hoodies and put on shades.
Someone threw me a hoodie and a pair of shades. It was Kris.
"Put those on. You won't wanna get your hair pulled out the moment you step out of the dorm tomorrow."
I laughed and wore the hoodie.
We walked along Myeongdong and Baekhyun went into almost every clothes shop he saw.
"Are you done?!" Suho shouted in anger.
"Yup coming!!" Baekhyun replied as he ran out of the shop holding a few more additional shopping bags.
"Sehun is still inside, go get him." Baekhyun told me as he ran pass me.
I walked into the shop and saw Sehun at the cashier.
"Sehun? You done?" I asked and tapped him on the shoulder.
He jerked and hurriedly took the item he bought.
"Yup! Lets go!"
And dragged me out of the shop.
"Omg! Bubble tea!!!" Luhan shouted.
He grabbed me and pulled me along with sehun who was holding on to my arm to the bubble tea shop.
After we bought our bubble tea and went to join the rest of them at the shoe shop next door, I realised that there was a small crowd crowding around the shoe shop.
I pushed up my sunglasses.
Oh no... I don't want to get my hair pulled out!
Chanyeol and Baekhyun tried on a few pairs of shoes while the rest of us just walked around the shop. By the time Chanyeol and Baekhyun had paid up and we were done, there was a huge crowd outside the shop.
"Chanyeol Oppa!"
"OPPA SARANGHAE!"
"OPPA!! "
I started to get a little scared. I guess Luhan sensed it so he pulled me close to him.
"Stick close to me ok?"
My head rested on his chest and I could hear the thumping of his heart.
My heart started to thump faster.
Luhan held me close as we squeezed through the crowd.
"Sorry! Excuse me! Please don't take photos."
We finally squeezed our way out of the crowd but now the crowd was following us behind.
Luhan let go of me and asked, "You ok?"
"Yeah thanks Luhan." I said and arranged my messy hair.
We continued to shop and went into a make up shop. The first one who had his hands full of makeup, or rather eyeliner was Baekhyun.
"I think I will place these at the counter first." he said.
I went to the lip stick comer and chose some lip gloss.
Strawberry, Grape and Cherry. I decided on these few flavours and went to pay up. Just when I placed my lip gloss on the counter, Baekhyun came again with his hands full and placed all of his eyeliner on the counter.
"I will pay for hers!" Baekhyun said and passed the lady his credit card.
I was just about to thank him when he placed his finger on my lips.
"No need to thank me! Just treat me to some yummy food or something." he said. "Here your lip gloss."
I took my lip gloss and thanked him anyway.
I squeezed my way out of the shop but these fans just seemed to refuse to budge.
"Excuse me!"
They still didn't budge.
"Kai Oppa!! Saranghaeyo!!"
"EXO SARANGHAE!!"
I tried to squeeze but I lost my balance and tripped landing my face flat on the floor.
"Oww..." I muttered and tried to get up.
But my leg felt so numb. That I couldn't get up.
"Hey! Excuse me! Don't Push! " just then a voice shouted. A hand reached out on top of me. I couldn't see who it was but he grabbed me and pulled me up.
"You ok?" he asked, it was Kai.
"Yeah..." I tried to balance myself but my left leg felt numb. I looked down at my leg and saw blood trickling down my left knee.
"Your bleeding." Kai said and suddenly carried me up.
I was taken aback.
"Kai..."
"Don't worry this isn't the first time I carried you anyway." he said smirking.
I was confused.
He brought me out of the crowd.
"Kai Oppa! Who is that!!!"
"KAI OPPA! WHO THE HECK IS THAT GIRL?!"
I tried to cover my face but everyone could see how I looked like as my shades dropped on the floor when I fell.
"What happened?!" Kris asked when he saw Kai carrying me and my left leg which by now was dripping blood.
"Oh my gosh Kae Li , are you ok?" Sehun asked as Kai placed me down on the chair in a shoe shop.
"Yeah... I just accidentally fell while squeezing through the crowd." I replied weakly.
"I'll go get the van over. We should get going before the more fans come." Xiumin said, and Suho nodded.
Just then, someone placed a handkerchief on top of my wound.
"Here, hold on to it." Luhan said.
I looked at him with grateful eyes.
"We will go back to the dorm and help you wrap it up ok?" Lay said and I nodded.
"Xiu min is here! let's go!" DO said.
Kai lifted me up again and placed me safely in the van and sat next to me.
"Thanks Kai." I said gratefully.
"Nope don't thank me ,in fact I am sorry you are like that because of the fans..."
I shaked my head, "Nah it's ok."
The car ride back to the dorm felt like the longest and most painful car ride ever. I continued to hold Luhan's handkerchief on top of my wound even though it was soaked already.
Although the ride was long we finally reached to dorm and Kai helped me out of the van. Baekhyun rushed to my side and held me as I limped my way towards the dorm.
We reached the dorm and Kai and Baekhyun helped me to my bed.
"Thanks guys."
I said as I sat on my bed.
Lay came with the first aid kit and cleansed my wound. It was the most painful experience in my whole life. I wanted to scream but just forced my lips to close.
"Does it hurt?" Lay asked as he wiped my knee.
I nodded in pain.
"Bear with it ok?" He said as he bandaged up my wound and wiped the blood off my leg.
"Thanks so much Lay."
"No problem. Just try not to move around too much and we will help you out later when dinner is ready." Lay said with a smile and left.
I sat on my bed and grabbed my bag taking out my lip gloss and placed it on my bed.
Just then someone knocked on my door. The door opened and it was Luhan.
"Hey. you alright?" he asked and sat besides me on my bed.
"Yup still alive and kicking." I joked.
"Trust you to still be still so cheerful in this condition." he said but laughed too. We laughed together.
Luhan then placed his hand around me.
"Sorry I wasn't able to protect you..." he said.
"No... Its...its ok..." I said and my heart was started beating faster.
The door then swung open. It was DO and he was wearing his teddy bear apron.
"Come on love birds! it's time for dinner!"
"Yah do kyungsoo!"
"Oppa!"
Me and Luhan shouted simultaneously and glared at DO.
"Ok ok, come out for dinner." he said and walked out.
Luhan helped me out to the dining table and Sehun immediately got up from his seat and helped me to my seat.
After dinner, I decided to go back to my room and rest early as I had to go for training tomorrow. When I entered my room, I saw a small paper bag on my bed as well as a note.
I took the note and read it.
Hi Kae Li. I hope you are alright. anyway, I saw this dress when we were shopping just now and I thought you would look nice in it. Hope you like it!
love,
Sehun oppa.
I smiled to myself and took out the dress from the bag. it was a flowery blue dress and I loved it.
I didn't want to disturb him so I just texted him a thank you message.
I walked to my wardrobe and changed into my pajamas.
'Text message. Text message! TEXT MESSAGE!!!'
I picked up my phone, it was from sehun.
Exo Sehun:
Your welcome! hope you like it! you must wear it for me to see ok? good night! have sweet dreams!
I placed my phone on the table and went off to sleep.
