Seriously Heart?

I didn’t see any of the EXO members until a week later in the cafeteria.

“Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while.”

I look up and see Xiumin standing in front of me. “Hey! What’s going on?”

“Oh, nothing really. Just busy getting ready for the comback.”

“How’s that going?” I asked.

“Pretty hard I guess,” Xiumin said sitting across from me. “The dance is pretty hard. But the rest is fine.”

“Hey, it’s Claire!” Tao and Chanyeol yelled as they run over, Baekhyun tagging along.

“We should all do something tonight!” Baekhyun says.

“Yeah, we should! We could watch a movie or something like that.” Tao puts in.

“So what do you think? Want to come?” Baekhyun asks.

“Yeah, I’d love too!”

“Great wait for us in the lobby after practice today,”

“What’s going on?” Suho asks.

“Claire is going to come over and watch a movie tonight!” Chanyeol grins.

The other boys gradually come and sit with us, and we tell them the plan.

I get off practice at six and I feel half starved. I don’t even know if that’s possible, but that’s how I feel.

I grab a granola bar out of my bag and start munching on it as I go to the lobby.

“She’s here! Let’s go!” Sehun says as soon as I am revesaled by the opening of the elevator door. He grabs my arm and pulls me out to the fifteen passenger van. The other band members following close behind.

“My lady,” Chen says, opening the door for me.

“Thank you fine sir,” I jump up into the van and sit in the middle row by the window.

The members pile in and I end up sitting beside Luhan. Chanyeol is the last in the van. He sits next to Luhan.

“Hey, Claire.” Chanyeol says, leaning his head forward to see me.

“Yeah?” I ask.

“Is it okay if I sit by the window?” he looks nervous of my answer.

“Of course!” I don’t know his reasoning why he wants to sit by the window but I don’t question. He might have some kind of car sickness.

Chanyeol stands up and Luhan scoots into his seat and I scoot into Luhan’s seat. Chanyeol sits in the seat beside me with a huge grin on his face.

“Why are you smiling?” I ask curiously.

“Ah~ nothing.” he says frowning. I think I’ve gotten used to the secrets.

We watched a movie, which title remains nameless in my head.

“Mind if we put it in English subtitles? I don’t know Korean this well.” I say.

“Sure!” Suho says, reaching for the remote. On the couch I am squished between Kris and Chen.

At one point in the movie the main boy and girl kissed, Kris nudged me.

“Yes?” I ask looking at him.

“We should try that something.” he smirks.

“What?” My mouth fell open.

“Kris!” Chen practically yelled, smacking him across the head.

“Gosh, I was just kidding,” Kris rubbed his head.

“Terrible joke.” Chen said.

“What happened?” Lay asked.

“Nothing.” Kris said and at the same time Chen said, “When the people kissed Kris turned to Claire and told her that they should do that sometime!”

They all stared at Kris.

“I was just kidding! Can’t you take a joke?”

I woke up to find myself lying on Chen’s lap. I sat up. “I’m so sorry! How long was I asleep? Did you have something you needed to do? I hope you didn’t need to do something.”

“It’s fine!” Chen laughed, “We were only here a few minutes.”

"Okay." I sigh.

“Ice cream!” I heard someone yell from the other room. “Come for ice cream!” it was Xiumin.

Chen helped me up and we walked to the kitchen.

Lay handed me a bowl of ice cream, and I sat at the table between Luhan and D.O..

“Hey sorry about what Kris said, he’s an idiot.” D.O. said.

“It’s fine. It was pretty funny now that I think about it.”

“Really? I’d probably pass out, he’s so creepy.” Luhan laughs.

D.O. and I laughed as well.

___

Later as I’m about to leave Kris grabbed the arm. “Hey sorry about what I said.”

“About what?” I ask, confused.

“Kissing you.”

“Oh,” I laugh “it was funny. All is well.” I smile.

He smiles back.

___

The next day I wake up smiling. “I hope I see EXO today.” I think aloud. “No stop Claire! You idiot you can’t like any of them, stop! Come on, your fangirling days are over!” I smack my own head. But that doesn’t stop my thoughts.
Sadly.

I walk into the SM building and wait for the elevator. I’m looking at my phone when I hear the elevator door open. I start to walk forward without bothering to look up. Apparently Chanyeol didn’t either. At the last second I look up and I smacked into Chanyeol for the second time. We both dropped our phones and I almost fell but Chanyeol grabbed my arms.

“Is this the only way we are going to meet?” Chanyeol says, pulling me up right.

I laugh and pick up my phone. Chanyeol picks up his and smiles.

“When are you gonna debut again?” Chanyeol asks.

“Two weeks from tomorrow!” I say, excitedly.

“Hey, that’s the same day as we release the come back!”

“Really? That’s exciting!” I check my watch. “Oh, I gotta go!” I say as I run past him into the closing elevator.

“See ya!” I say when I turn around.

Chanyeol waves.


I walk into the locker room and change into sweat pants and a tank top, slipping a jacket over it.

I open the door to the practice room and started dancing to one of my songs.

It gets hot really fast and I am forced to take off my jacket.

After a few songs I heard the door open. I suspected it to be my manager. He says that I should remain dancing when he comes in.

When the song ended, I looked to the door. Chanyeol stood there, leaning against the door frame.

“Hey.” he says. I watch his eyes look at me up and down, obviously checking me out.

I am suddenly embarrassed by what I am wearing and run to my bag slipping my jacket on. “Hey, What do you need?”

“I have your phone.” he said.

“Oh, really?” I look into my bag and find my supposed phone. I turn it on and sure enough the wallpaper was not what it usually was. I walk over to Chanyeol and hand him the phone. Chanyeol hands me my phone.

“You are pretty good at dancing.” Chanyeol said.

“Thanks.” I slightly blush.

“You’re welcome.” he says and walks into the room.

“What are you doing?” I say watching him.

He ignores me and starts fiddling with the radio. Chanyeol finally chooses what he wants to listen too.

He walks up to me as the song starts. Chanyeol grabs one of my hands and puts it on his shoulder and wraps his arm around my waist and holds my other hand. And we dance to the slow song.

Chanyeol spins me around as the song ends and dips me. We look into each others eyes for a minute.

I clear my throat, “Well thanks for the dance.”

He pulls me up, “any time.”

I smile at him and he smiles back. I heart jumped. What was that? No heart no. Jumping is not allowed. I silently scolded myself.

“Well, I better get going.” Chanyeol says and walks to the door, I follow him.

“See you later.”

He waves and walks down the hall.

I close the door behind him and turn on my phone. Chanyeol’s face appears on the screen. I smile, not bothering to change it.
