As Blind As Could Be...

“ZHANG YIXING!” She yells to the top of her lungs.

What, what, what. There’s nothing she can do to change anything at all. I can’t even change it. I look back at her, still continuing to walk.

“BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!” A truck comes just as I walk on the road.

Everything happens in slow motion.

I look at the trucks blinding lights, then back to Eunsoo-ah, who was running to save me.

Is this it? It can’t be right? I inhale.

I widen my eyes in fear, looking around. Suddenly a harsh tug pulls me and I land in her arms.

She leans against a wall, holding me. Tight. We’re sitting on the floor. She breaths heavy, making the back of my hairs stand. Her arms are around neck, tight, making my face go to her shoulders, making me kiss her shoulders. My eyes don’t close. Tears fall down my face. I lift my head up and I look at her with my widened eyes.

She looks at me, arms still wrapped around me. Because of that, our faces were so close, I could taste her breath with my open mouth.

“I-I almost lost you.” She says.

I get up, with her arms locked, following me. People were looking at us and taking videos and pictures. The guys, Super Junior and others come running down, finding us. Fans were following. They create a circle around you and Lay.

She let’s go of me and walks towards Chanyeol. It’s always Chanyeol isn’t it?

“I can’t believe… I almost lost him.” She whispers, but it was so silent that everyone hears her.

She then collapses and Chanyeol catches her, kneeling down. I, along with the other groups, come down with her

“What happened?” Chanyeol asks me.

“I-I don’t know.” I mutter.

What did happen?

“You don’t know what happened? What are you talking about? Weren’t you with her?” Kyungsoo bends down, taking Chanyeol’s place.

The girl groups run down the hill along with the paramedics.

“We found her, she’s on blah blah blah blah.” They say into a communicator, explaining the location.

The paramedics come into the circle and everyone steps away to give them room, besides Kyungsoo hyung and myself.

They check her cuts, clean her wounds, and lastly… her eyes. They use a flashlight and open up your eyelids, inspecting your eyes.

“Make a note. She’s covered with shattered glass, pinching her skin. There’s a bruise on her face, internal bleeding from her back. She must’ve hit something hard from her back. Her ankle is sprained, she must’ve ran because it looks like it spread. And be sure to add in… (checks once more) there’s glass in her eyes.”

Everyone shoots their heads up.

“E-eyes?” I repeat. “Oh, what did I do. She saved my life after all I did to her.”

Kyungsoo looks at me with the eyes that scared me long ago, when I first met him. The eyes of his devil self. The eyes that didn’t welcome me… it was Eunsoo that connected him and I through the club. But I know… I’m not on his good side now.

“You are so aggravating.” He looks straight into my eyes… it kinda scares me.

The ambulance comes, along with body guards, moving the commuting fans out of the way, making a path for the stretcher to get her. Kyungsoo follows the paramedics, along with Chanyeol, Kai and I. Kyungsoo let’s Chanyeol and Kai get inside the ambulance, but as I get on… he pushes me down.

“What are you doing?” He asks me.

“I was the one who did wrong to her, so it should be only right for me to make things better with her when she wakes up.” I argue.

“It’s more important to know if she’s okay first, then you can make things right with her. For now, just go do your promotions in China. You don’t want to make President Lee any madder than you already have. A. Destruction of S.M. property B. Injuring one of your members, multiple times. C. Not listening to your sunbaes and your Leader, Eunsoo-ah… do I have to explain more? Just go already. It’s clear no one wants you here.” Kyungsoo tells me and shuts the ambulance door.

The ambulance starts moving. Sehun and Baekhyun pat my back, bringing me along with the others back to the company.

I have no choice but to leave. If I’m on the bad side of everyone, especially Kyungsoo, especially President Lee, especially the fans, I guess I’ll just leave. But if I leave, I’d make things worse with Eunsoo-ah.

If there is something wrong you should speak up about it, my lord. But that doesn’t mean you run away from your problems. I remember that’s what Eunsoo told me.

So if I leave, I’m running away from the problem. Yeowang will be disappointed if I just leave now. But at the same time adfoieadsfks. You know what, if I stay, President Lee will kick my ass, so I might as well just leave.

------

You slowly awaken as blinding lights are placed above your head. You turn your head to the side and see Kyungsoo in tears, holding your hand. Chanyeol was sitting down further from you, impatiently waiting. A nurse moves your head back in position, straight and into the freaking light once again. The lady comes close to your face with a magnifying glass. She takes little pieces glass stuck to my face with tweezers and puts them onto a tray.

Where am I? What’s going on? Why is Kyungsoo crying? You think.

“Okay, she’s all done.” She says.

All done?

“Now we just have to work on her eyes.” The doctor comes in.

The boys look up at him and bow as the nurse leaves.

“Just doing an overview here…” He checks your papers. “She’s been here for almost 12 hours, spending most of her time in the operating room, getting rid of the tiny and large pieces of glass off of her body. We did an X-ray on her leg, which is sprained. The glass on her face is now removed. We are prescribing her with a healing lotion to fill in and repair the skin. And now… we have to check her eyes.”

“12 hours?” You say weakly.

“Your awake?” Chanyeol asks, coming towards you and Kyungsoo.

“She has been for a while.” Kyungsoo answers for you.

“Then why didn’t you tell us?!” Chanyeol pouts.

“C’mon say your greetings later, we have to take her into another room to check her eyes.” The doctor says.

You nod and try to get up, but you felt pain all over your body and you yell, slightly, from it.

“It hurts to move.” You feel your eyes become watery.

And the tears slowly come out you scream more.

“And my eyes are burning.” You comment.

Kyungsoo cries more, hearing you. Chanyeol show sympathy towards you.

“Don’t move, okay?” The doctor reassures. “We’ll just move you using the bed.”

You lay down in the bed as the doctor, Kyungsoo and Chanyeol move the bed to your next location.

“You’ve been here with me for 12 hours plus?” You ask.

Kyungsoo didn’t hear you.

“Eo.” Chanyeol says coming close to you. “I was suppose to go to a promotion, but I couldn’t leave you. Kyungsoo too… Kai was here earlier, but since he’s the dancer and visual, he had to leave, even if he didn’t want to.”

“Z-Zhang Yixing? Where is he?” You respond.

“....He’s probably on the plane right now, heading for China.” He shrugs.

You laugh a little. “Of course he is.”

“Here we are.” The doctor says. “You’re going to have to sit up right, it might hurt a little.”

“It’s alright… I can’t be this weak.”

The doctor fixes your chair as you try to hold in your scream and pain.

“Okay, look through these.” He brings down a machine.

You look through it and your eyes show on a screen.

“Stay like that.” He says.

He observes your eyes.

“It’s nothing big.” He smiles in relief. “There are little pieces of glass, but they will wash out of your eyes, we just have to run them in cold water.”

“That’s a relief, thank you doctor.” Kyungsoo says.

“What about her skin?” Chanyeol asks.

“It’ll be sore like this for a day, then everything will be better, but you still need to put the cream on like lotion.” The doctor responds. “She will be able to do promotions, don’t worry.”

“We have one tomorrow, will she be able to?” Kyungsoo questions.

“No, I suggest she stays here to rest for at least two days. You’ll just have to perform without her. Sorry boys.” The doctor says. “Before we continue this talk, let’s rinse your eyes out with water right now, Eunsoo-shi.”

After everything was taken care of, you were moved into a separate room. Chanyeol and Kyungsoo were sent to leave because visiting hours were over, and also they had to return to the company for an important meeting. You lay in the bed, staring at the ceiling.

You try to remember the great memories with Lay to block out the scene that happened recently, but nothing came to mind. All you could think of was that event. How he almost died before your eyes.

“What are we, Zhang Yixing.” You sigh.

“I don’t know, but all I know is that I’m sorry and regretful.” He replies.

“Even if you are, what are the fans going to think.” You say.

“I don’t know, once again. But I’ll try to do everything to make things right.” He replies.

“How will you? How-” You stop.

You get up really fast and see Lay there holding flowers and balloons, along with other presents. You scream, slightly, because you moved to fast.

“Are you okay?” He says with a worried face.

He puts everything down and immediately comes to help you set up your bed so you were sitting upright comfortably. He then goes back and brings his gifts to you.

“Thank you.” You smile, slightly. “The flowers are beautiful.”

“It’s the least I can do for you.” He sandwiches your hand.

“I thought you were gone.” You tilt your head.

“I know… I was going to leave. But I couldn’t leave without seeing you, or apologising. I’m very sorry. I put all my hatred towards you and made you in this condition right now (tears form his eyes). I almost died if it weren’t for you. I…” He turns away.

You stop him by putting a hand on his face, redirecting it so his eyes met you. You hide the pain of moving your hand and smile.

“I don’t care. I didn’t care if I got hurt. I had to make sure you were alright. I know it’s hard for you and there’s a lot of tension, so it wouldn’t be fair if you were isolated. I don’t need to forgive you because there’s nothing you should be sorry for.” You pull him close to you and kiss his forehead. “I’d rather get thrown a million more times. Losing you would be worse.”

You wipe his tears away.

“I… um have a surprise for you.” Lay hands you an envelope.

“I’m excited. Can you open it for me… it’s kind of hard to-”

Lay opens the envelope, but leaves the surprise in it, handing it to you. You take two plane tickets out and look up at him.

Ticket #1
Name: Do Eunsoo
Age: 21
From: Seoul, South Korea To: Beijing, China
Time: 14:30

Ticket #2
Name: Zhang Yixing
Age: 24
From: Seoul, South Korea To: Beijing China
Time: 14:30 (2:30 pm)

(A/N: There is more information on the ticket but I don’t want to elaborate that much)

“What does this mean?” You say cutely.

“I convinced President Lee to have you come and promote with me.” Lay smiles.

You return the smile with an even wider one. You hug him to tight and you scream out of joy. You didn’t feel any pain because you were filled with so much happiness that it blocked it out.

“Are you serious! I can’t believe it! I’m so happy!” You say really pumped and excited. “Your amazing! I love it! I love you! AHHHHHHHH!”

------

EXO promotes with “Unfair” changing the lyrics. Originally it was a co-ed song, but since you were hurt, they changed it to be a message to you… or female.

Example…
Original: “Babe, babe, be my love.”
Changed: “Girl, girl, be my love.”

Original:

D.O; If you smile at me like that
Sehun; Hey don’t you know
You; It’s hard for me not to feel anything, boy.

Changed:

D.O; If you smile at me like that
Sehun; Girl don’t you know
D.Ol It’s hard for me not to feel anything, Eunsoo.

Lay didn’t promote with them, he stayed with you in the hospital. No one knew he was still in Seoul except for you and President Lee. The boys couldn’t visit you because they were busy and tired, which you said was okay. Lay brought his suitcases with him, there were two.

------

After your recovery, or two days, you pack your things and are about to head out with Lay. The boys, unaware of the situation AT ALL, see you take out three suitcases. People came to the dorm and loaded them into the van. Lay and his things were waiting in the van for you, ready to go to the airport.

“Where are you going?” Sehun asks.

“Promoting with Lay.” You reply. “I won’t be back until… I don’t know actually.”

“What?” Chanyeol asks. “Repeat that once more.”

“President Lee wants me to promote with Lay, so people don’t think it’s unfair.” You smile at the irony and start to sing the song, ‘unfair.’ “I know it’s unfair, am I being selfish?”

“Yah, now’s not the time to joke around.” Kyungsoo comes to you. “Are you really leaving.”“Why didn’t you tell us?” Xiumin asks.

“Can’t you take me along with you?” Chen pouts.

“Why do you have to go?” Baekhyun whines.

“Yah.” You get annoyed. “You act like this to me, but when there’s Lay it’s different. You are part of the reason why he lashed out and that I was in the condition I was two days ago and still am. So shut up and stop showing special attention. You know how rude you guys are to him? How do you think he felt when everyone ignored him at the table for lunch days ago. I had to personally bring over that bulgogi while you were joking around about girls and kisses. I’m going, okay? There’s nothing you could do. When I return, I hope you guys have changed. Suho… I’m putting you in charge.”

You leave the dorm and Chanyeol, along with the other boys, come out after you. Chanyeol turns you around and kisses you, hard. The boys watch in shock. Jongin makes a fist with his hands. Kyungsoo rolls his eyes. The others cheer you and Chanyeol on.

“Wow! WWWOw!” Baekhyun says, “Kkaebsonngggggggggg~”

“OUUUUU!” Chen smirks.

Sehun and Suho look away from embarrassment.

You let go of the kiss.

“What are you doing?” You say.

“I love you. Don’t worry, I’ll see you later and I promise to come visit. Wait for me!” Chanyeol pecks your lips. “Go, you’ll be late for your flight.”

You in shock, listen. You turn around and head for the elevator. You stop and turn back to see all of the boys watching you leave. You run back really fast and hug Kyungsoo really tight.

“Don’t cry anymore. I forgot to tell you.” You say.

He laughs.

“I love you too.” He kisses your forehead.

Jongin stays put, hands still a fist. You walk up to him and take him hand, loosening it up. He gives you a serious, poker face, looking sexy asf doing so. You hug him tight.

“I love you.” He whispers. “You know that right?"

He hugs you back after, swaying you back and forth.

“Eo.” You reply, kissing his shoulder. “I’ve always known.”

You say your goodbyes with everyone and leave to the car.

“What took you so long?” Lay smiles with his dimples.

“Nothing, just saying my goodbyes. Sorry to keep you waiting.” You pinch his dimples.

“Yah, that hurts.” He pinches yours back.

“Okay, okay it hurts sorry.” You let go.

He laughs.

------

You arrive at the airport and don’t see many fans because no one knew when Lay was leaving or that you were coming. But many took photos and videos of you two because they were also leaving somewhere. Word spread out quickly and sooner or later, there were fans everywhere. You were already at the security checkpoint, luckily, but the thousands of fans didn’t stop there. Some were traveling as well, so they got to put their belongings next to yours and Lays. Your suitcases were taken care of already. All you had was your backpack and laptop, as well as Lay.

You took the S.M. private as usual to China. Now everyone knew you and Lay were going to promote together in China.

Because Lay was on the show “Go Fighting!” already with four other men, he had to sleep in a specific hotel. One floor of the hotel was reserved for all of the men there. For the time being in China, you stay there with Lay. The other four men don’t know your there.

You go to sleep first, in white sweatpants, a black bra and a black, thick tank top, which is actually Chanyeol’s, but you received it as a “present.” Lay stays up on his laptop when there’s a knock on the door.

[A/N: Keep in mind from now on you will be speaking in Chinese and hearing Chinese instead of Korean if you know what I mean.]

Lay goes to open the door, getting out of the covers, wearing only dark blue plaid boxers and a white thick tank top.

“Who is it?” Lay asks.

“Show Lou.” He answers.

Lay opens the door and sees Show Lou and the rest of the members of ‘Go Fighting’ with cameraman behind them.

[A/N: Here’s the website to the cast of Go Fighting if you don’t know who they are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Fighting! And also keep in mind these men are in their 3o’s to 40’s lol]

“Ah.” Lay says and closes the door.

“Aww Why?” Sun Honglei asks. “You just came back! We want to see you!”

“I have a guest staying with me for the time being. I thought they told you.” Lay responds behind the door.

“Who is it?” Huang Lei knocks over and over on the door.

“She’s sleeping right now.” Lay opens the door a little.

“It’s a girl? Ouuu!” Wang Xun smirks, barging into the hotel room.

The others follow, heading to the bedroom (as well as the camera men).

“Yah, wait.” Lay says, blocking the way into the room.

“There are two entrances, let’s split up! There’s no way he can stop us then.” Show Lou plans.

“Yixing, who is that?” You asks, rubbing your eyes and walking towards the men.

The tank top you were wearing was folded up, showing your 4-pack.

“Whoa! Honey-shi!” Huang Bo recognises instantly.

They all bow and you bow back.

“Nǐ hǎo, wǒ shì Honey.” You smile.

They introduce themselves and you keep talking.

“Whoa. I can’t believe your here right now! It’s such an honor omo!” Show Lou panics and you laugh.

“I’m promoting with Lay… I mean Yixing right now in China, but not on this show. I’m just here at night.” You explain. “And actually, it’s an honor to meet all of you, you’re all so legendary!”

“And look at that!” Sung Honglei, the eldest says.

He points to your 4-pack and the camera zooms in on them. He tries to lift Lays to compare, but he covers his.

“Yah, she’s more fit than you!” They laugh.

You blush and pull down your tank top.

“Hey, you have a girl staying with you, why are you wearing this to sleep?” Wang Xun questions Lay.

Everyone laughs.

“She’s not just a ‘girl’ though. She’s a younger sister to me, so we’re just comfortable around each other.” Lay smiles with his dimples showing a lot.

You yawn which catches the attention of everyone.

“Are we boring you?” Show Lou teases.

You laugh in embarrassment.

“No, no it’s not that. It’s just, earlier I was sleeping…” You start.

“Oh did we wake you?” Huang Lei asks.

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.” You smile.

After a few more minutes, they all left. Lay puts his laptop on the floor and gets snuggled in bed. You and Lay are close to each other for warmth, which is what you usually do with all the members.

It's always better when I'm with her. Lay smiles and kisses the back of your hair, but you don't seem to notice.

I miss you already, Chanyeol. You sigh and fall into a deep sleep.

------

“Please sir, I’m begging you.” Chanyeol pleads. “Give me a promotion in China. I want to see Eunsoo-ah so badly you have no idea.”“Do you just want to go see her and have no promotion?” President Lee asks. “Wait nevermind. If you have a promotion that gives me money. Sure, I’ll change your schedule a bit, but you have to do promotions here first. It’ll be weeks until your promotion in China, is that okay?”“As long as I get to see her, then yes.” Chanyeol responds.

“Then we have a deal. You can go.” President Lee dismisses Chanyeol.

Don’t worry Eunsoo-ah, we’ll see each other soon. Chanyeol smiles.

Notes
