As Blind As Could Be...

EXO DORM
12 pm

No ones awake. Well, I mean, everyone who drank last night is still sleeping. Sehun, Suho, Minseok and Yixing were up. They were playing video games in a dorm room. Yixing goes and checks in you and the boys. He widens his eyes.

All of you weren’t on the bed. You were on the floor. You were all wrapped up in a cocoon from the sheets and comforter. Literally, you all were sleeping in a circle. Lay laughs really hard and takes his phone out.

He starts taking pictures and then takes a video.

“Yah!” Lay laughs, slapping everyone’s butt but yours, “Get up (slap; laugh), get up (slap; laugh harder), get up, get up. It’s 12:05 in the afternoon.”

Baekhyun attempts to stretch, but he struggles.

“Yah, I can’t move.” Baekhyun says with his low, hangover voice.

Lay laughs harder. You rub your eyes and wriggle yourself out of the cocoon. You trip over Kyungsoo’s legs and Lay rushes forward to catch you.

He stands you straight.

“Thank you.” You sigh.

“Go take a shower, we’ll talk then.” Lay says. “Or do you need help showering?”

“Yah.” You reply. “I’m fine.”

Once finished showering, you find Luhan making your breakfast… or lunch. The other boys were getting ready as well. He looks up at you and smiles.

“Good morning~” He says cutely.

“Aiiish. (in a good way)” You pout smile. “Why are you so happy this morning.”

“Nothing.” Luhan replies and starts to hum preparing your meal.

Lay comes and sits next to you. He crosses his arms on the table and leans his head on it, staring at you. You take a water bottle that Luhan hands and open the cap. You are about to drink it, the water is just about to drop from the bottle, but move your eyes direction to Yixing.

“Mwo? What is it?” You ask.

“Just taking a last glance until I leave for China again.” Lay smirks. “Just for the drama that’s all.”

“Take care of yourself.” You say and drink some water. “Don’t get hurt.”

You pause and look at him once more.

“Should I come with you?” You ask.

“You can’t!” Luhan says. “You can’t leave m- (me)”

“You can’t leave, your pregnant.” Chanyeol says with his deep, scratchy voice.

“Right… that’s what I meant.” Luhan replies.

“I’m sure it was.” Chanyeol says under his breath.

“Good morning.” You say to him.

You hand him your water and he finishes the bottle.

“Eo.” He replies to you after he swallows.

You freeze from his attitude, but quickly snap out of it. Luhan hands you your meal and you start eating.

“Have someone go with you then.” You say to Lay, continuing on with your conversation.

“Who would?” Lay asks.

“I can go.” Chanyeol sighs. “I haven’t been there for a while actually.”

“Call.” Yixing snaps his fingers. “Let’s go ask the boss.”

Chanyeol nods and they rush off.

Baekhyun comes into the kitchen and starts picking off from your plate. You move it to the middle and eat with him.

“You hungry?” You smile.

“My throat hurts.” He replies.

“That’s not good my main vocalist.” You pout.

Luhan gives Baekhyun hot water with honey and lemon.

“Drink up dongsaeng.” Luhan orders.

“Gamsa hyung.” Baekhyun chugs the water down.

“Gimme one too, hyung.” Kyungsoo says weakly. “My throat’s killing me.”

Kyungsoo coughs loudly. You squint your eyes and brows.

“That’s weird.” You observe. “You and Baekhyun have sore throats, but yours sound more serious Kyungsoo oppa. Are you sick?”

You feel his head, but he wasn’t hot at all. He takes the hot water from Luhan and sips.

“Don’t worry about me.” Kyungsoo forces a smile. “Yah, your stomachs grown bigger.”

“I know right! It’s growing everyday! I can even feel the baby sometimes. I-” You stop.

Kyungsoo chuckles. You punch him slightly.

“Yah, don’t switch the subject like that.” You sigh. “Let’s get you a check up as soon as possible.”

“That won’t be for days.” Xiumin says walking in. “The boss just updated our schedule. Lay and Chanyeol are to leave for China tonight. Chen’s on a talk show. Kkamjong’s doing his drama. The rest of us have to be interviewed, then perform a mini-concert when Chen and Kai return, then-”

“Wait. How can we do that without Yixing or Chanyeol?” Baekhyun asks. “It’s almost impossible for most of us to rap like Chanyeol or play the piano like Lay (my turn to cry).”

“Let’s have Sehun do it.” Luhan jokes and everyone laughs.

“Yah!” Sehun says loudly. “I can rap just as well as Chanyeol!”

“Shawty ima pawty to da sundoeun.” You imitate Sehun with your low voice, making everyone, even Sehun himself laugh.

[A/N: If you don’t know what I’m referring to lol… For love me right, Sehun has his solos, but he isn’t “experienced” enough to say the lines perfectly while still dancing, hence the reason why he doesn’t really get a lot of lines in their songs. He is really just the visual of the group. But one time lmao he said his line really deep voiced and meshed and it was hilarious. It was like two octaves lower than how he was meant to originally rap it.]

“I don’t know, we’re just going to have to wing it.” Suho shrugs.

“I’m off!” Kai says.

“When did you wake up?” Kyungsoo asks.

“After you did.” Kai ruffles Kyungsoo’s hair, then kisses yours and heads for the door.

“Me too! Me too!” Baekhyun teases, but Kai does it anyway.

“Wish me luck on the shoot!” Kai says one foot out the door.

“Don’t be too awkward when shooting!” Suho advises him.

“Good luck! Hwaiting!” You shout and the dorm door closes.

Just then, the door opens once more, Yixing and Chanyeol return back.

“Yah!” Lay says excited. “We’re going to pack for tonight’s leave!”

Luhan was about to respond but the two boys were gone before he could open his mouth.

You shrug.

“Yah, what time is it?” Chen yawns.

“1:30 pm.” Xiumin checks.

“Oh shit!” Chen curses and rushes to get ready for his talk show.

“It starts at 3!” Suho reminds him.

“Aish jinja.” You sigh and turn to Kyungsoo. “Drink as much honey water as possible before our mini concert tonight.”

------

After the interview.
3pm

“Can we go see him?” Kyungsoo asks you, holding his thermos full of honey water with two hands close to his chest.

“Eo, if you want to that badly. But, Jongin might be busy.” You shrug. “We’ll take a taxi.”

“Call.” Kyungsoo coughs.

You arrive nearby the set. You lead the way as Kyungsoo, who holds his thermos the same way as earlier, follows you quickly.

“Where is the set?” Kyungsoo asks.

“I think it’s this way?” You tilt your head and laugh.

“Yah.” Kyungsoo gets worried. “Are we lost?”

“Ani, ani, ani.” You shake your head. “We’re almost there. Aish, stupid taxi driver got the street wrong. Oh well.”

Kyungsoo sips his drink, but nothing came out.

“Can we stop by a cafe? I need to drink at least two more cups of honey water for my throat.” Kyungsoo asks.

“Sure, if we could find one.” You tease. “Just kidding, there’s one on the corner of this block (street).”

“Okay.” Kyungsoo says.

“Here, just put your thermos in my bag, we’ll just drink there, eat some food, then see Jongin-ah.” You suggest.

“Okay.” Kyungsoo repeats.

You two enter the cafe. There wasn’t anyone there. You two order your meal and drinks and wait by the pick up area.

“You think he’s on break?” Kyungsoo worries. “I don’t want to miss him. Maybe we could have lunch with him.”

“Aigoo, are you worried that much? Miss him that much? Don’t worry, we’ll see him soon.” You smile and hug him.

“Thank you for buying today Eunsoo-ah.” Kyungsoo smiles accepting your hug.

“You need to feel better, eo? Can you do that for me?” You kiss his shoulder.

“Arraseo. I’ll get better quickly so you don’t have to worry that much.” Kyungsoo says in his cute, low voice.

“Your orders ready.” The workers says and slides a tray down the counter to you two.

“Thank you.” You both bow and Kyungsoo takes the tray.

“Hana, Dul, Se, Action!” A random girl says loudly.

He turns to find Kai and a girl he’s never seen or heard of before and freezes. You tilt your head as you stare at Kyungsoo. You slowly turn your head to the direction he was looking at and drop your jaw.

“You really.” Jongin starts. “Your just making chocolate, why do you end up deep cutting yourself. I swear, I have to do everything for you.”

“Y-yah, I-” She stops and hesitates.

Kai kisses her hand meaningfully and closes his eyes. He then makes his way until their lips were touching, strongly pressed against each other.

You look back at Kyungsoo, who was close to crying. He drops the tray, weakened. Shattered glass, hot honey water, coffee, and food spill everywhere. Kai and the mysterious girl release in shock.

“...” Kyungsoo blinks.

Chocobank Drama Set
3:00 pm

“Yah, Eunbinnie, Park Eunbin!” Kai whines cutely. “Waeee. Where are we going?”

“Oppa, the director said we have a thirty minute break. Buy me some coffee!” She smiles, pulling Kai to a nearby cafe.

Park Eunbin… the main female lead in Kai’s upcoming web drama “Chocobank.”

They sit in a cafe and drink some tea for their throats. There wasn’t anyone there because it was a weekday. People were probably in school or at work. Only a few people came in and out for a quick order of coffee.

“It’s fun… working with you, oppa.” She admits and blushes, looking down at her drink.

She rubs her thumb on the side of the white mug.

“Eo.” Kai replies. “I don’t really have girl friends besides Eunso- Honey.”

Did he just say “girlfriend” or “girl [space] friend?” She thinks. Ani, ani, what am I thinking. He’s dating Kyungsoo right? Or did they break up? Or is it a scandal like him and Honey-shi?

“Ahh, I see.” She says nodding her head.

She grabs his hand to his surprise and intertwines her hand with his. Kai stares at the interlock as she stares at him. He smirks a little, a little.

“Should we practice our scene?” She asks him.

“I mean there’s basically no one here. Sure, why not.” Kai shrugs. “We’re gonna have to do it in (checks watch) 20 minutes anyways.”

“Hana, Dul, Se, Action!” Eunbin smiles.

Kai laughs at first, but then gets serious and into “the zone.” Kai lifts here hand to be close to his face. He examines it. Doing so pulled her face to be somewhat close to his, closer than before. He felt uncomfortable, but continued anyway.

“You really.” Jongin starts. “Your just making chocolate, why do you end up deep cutting yourself. I swear, I have to do everything for you.”

“Y-yah, I-” She stops and hesitates.

Kai kisses her hand meaningfully and closes his eyes. He then makes his way until their lips were almost touching, but to you and Kyungsoo’s point of view, it looked like they were kissing.

Suddenly, a glass shatters, hot honey water, coffee, and food spill everywhere. They unlock their hands and stare at the situation.

“...” Kyungsoo blinks and saddens.

You close your mouth and start to pick up the mess.

“Ahhiee, Kyungsoo, your so clumsy.” You say, hesitating as you spoke.

“H-hey guys.” Kai says, almost too casual.

A worker and Kai walks over to help you clean up the mess. The girl and Kyungsoo stay frozen staring at each other. The worker takes the tray just as you ask him to make another order of the same exact thing.

Kyungsoo breaks his stare with the girl and shifts to Kai. He stands up, helping you stand up and makes eye contact with Kyungsoo. He can already tell by Kyungsoo’s facial expression he’s not happy at all. The satansoo, once more.

“It’s a misunderstanding, we-” Kai tries to reason with Kyungsoo.

“C’mon Eunsoo-ah, it’s clear Jongin’s already got himself company. We should’ve never came.” Kyungsoo interrupts Kai, pulling your hand, guiding you towards the door.

“But, your food and honey water.” You look and point towards the opposite direction of the door.

“I’m not hungry and my throats fine.” Kyungsoo states, not looking back.

You suddenly stop, or are stopped. Kyungsoo blinks as he struggles to pull you. He sighs, closes his eyes and puts his head down.

“Let go of her.” Kyungsoo turns back and looks directly into Jongin's eyes.

Jongin is holding your other hand. Park Eunbin slowly makes her way towards the scene. Slowly.

“Shiro. (I don’t want to)” Jongin replies. “Not until you let me explain the situation.”

“There’s nothing to explain. You KISSED her, what else is there to know? You cheated on me and you expect me to want to listen to you? Right now is not the perfect moment.” Kyungsoo raises his voice.

“Oppa, your voice.” You remind Kyungsoo.

“Shut up!” Kyungsoo says louder to you. “Was I not good enough for you?! Or are you now interested in woman?”

“Yah!” Kai raises his voice. “I never said that, you have no right to claim that.”

“The evidence was just a few moments ago. I have my right to claim whatever I want!” Kyungsoo screams.

“Your orders ready!” The worker said.

“Shut up!” They both say at the same time.

Kyungsoo let’s go of your arm.

“Fine, force her to stay. Whatever. I knew you never stopped loving her anyway.” Kyungsoo walks out of the cafe.

You blink for a few seconds, then turn to Kai.

“We were practicing for our next scene.” Kai explains to you.

“In public?” You roll your eyes. “Whether or not there are people around here, there are still cameras and workers in this store.”

Kai looks down guilty.

“And you!” You point to the girl. “Your probably the one who suggested to do the scene in the first place. Aigoo, you really got some nerve. You must be living under a rock if you didn’t know Jongin oppa and Kyungsoo oppa are dating. You should be lucky you even got this job. This stupid drama wouldn’t be famous if Jongin oppa wasn’t in it… (shifts position) Oppa, you better work things out with him or I swear I will hurt you. AND YOU! (points to the girl) AIUSHHOISHDIUAKHDSKA!”

You dramatically make Kai unhand you. You run to the worker still waiting there with your order. You take the thermos out, dump the honey water in it and take a huge bite of the sandwich.

“I swear, I can’t even have a peaceful lunch anymore.” You say with sandwich in your mouth and thermos in your hand walking out the door.

Jongin laughs at you, but soon saddens. He fought with Kyungsoo.

“It’s my fault isn’t it…” She sighs. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. You know, she’s younger than you and you still let her talk to you so rudely.” Kai smirks.

“Jinja!?” She says/screams.

“C’mon, let’s get back to set.” Kai walks out of the cafe without waiting for Eunbin.

Meanwhile…

“There you are!” You pant. “I finally caught up to you.”

“Oh, so he let you go.” Kyungsoo barely says without making eye contact with you.

“Yah!” You say annoyed. “Just because you fought with him doesn’t mean you can act like that to me. Aish, I filled your thermos up, ran everywhere searching for you, my legs are tired, I’m pregnant, and you act like that to me?”

Kyungsoo sighs. “I’m sorry. Thank you.”

He takes the thermos and drinks up.

“What did he say when I left?” Kyungsoo asks.

“Why do you ask?” You tease. “You worried?”

He rolls his eyes and you laugh.

“Alright, that was me, sorry.” You put your hands up. “He told me some things, but I think it’s best if you heard it from him. This isn’t my fight, and I’m not on either side. But I do hope you guys make up soon.”

------

Later that night…

Everyone performs at the mini concert while Lay and Chanyeol just arrived in China. Kyungsoo, throughout the concert, coughed a lot, but not into the mic. He missed some of his high notes, as well as Baekhyun and Chen. They were ill and somewhat exhausted. You couldn’t move around a lot either. You didn’t want to trip and fall. The boys in general were watching out for you. Kyungsoo and Kai didn’t interact with each other or even make eye contact. Sehun rapped Chanyeol’s parts “perfectly.” You even had to rap some of the parts, but you didn’t mind, you were a good singer anyway.

Chanyeol and Lay share a two bedroom hotel suite. They run lines together to help Yixing remember… even though Chanyeol can’t speak -or read in general- Chinese pho life, causing Lay to laugh and get off task. They stay up talking about the future and what will come of them.

“I hope I can work things out with Eunsoo sooner or later.” Chanyeol says.

“It’ll happen. I don’t think the baby will stop you two from coming back together.” Yixing lays back on a chair.

“It’s not the baby, it’s Luhan hyung.” Chanyeol sighs. “But I just wish the baby in general never happened. It would be a miracle for that to happen though. Where’s Huang Zitao when you need him (reverses time).”

“Things happen for a reason.” Yixing points a finger. “I’m sure if you and Eunsoo were to be together, something will change in the game… why did you want to come with me anyway.”

Chanyeol stays quiet for a while.

“I-I don’t know.” Chanyeol shrugs.

“You don’t know?” Yixing confirms.

“I don’t know… Just an escape. A temporary pause. A getaway.” Chanyeol lays back on his bed.

Lay sighs.

“Aigoo you running away from your problems.” Lay smiles and then turns serious. “But running away just causes more problems, so don’t be gone for too long.”

“Neeeeeee.” Chanyeol smiles.

Lay’s drama set
9 am

“Alright, you’re just going to ride down the street with the motorcycle. You don’t have to go that fast because we might speed the footage up a little. But, we’d like to get this scene done as soon and quick as possible so we could focus on the more important ones.” The director explains.

Chanyeol was there cheering on the side, behind the camera.

“You can do it Yixing, fighting!” Chanyeol smiles.

“Fighting.” Lay yawns tired.

“What time did you go to sleep?” Chanyeol asks.

“An hour later than you.” Yixing says. “I have to go now, I’ll be right back.”

Yixing leaves Chanyeol and gets on the bike.

“And, action!”

Yixing starts to ride the bike.

“He said one hour later than me… but I went to sleep at 3 am. And it’s 9 am right now. So he only got 5 hours of sleep?!” Chanyeol thinks.

There’s a big crashing noise and the smell of burnt rubber filled the air.

“Zhang Yixing!” Chanyeol screams running to him.

He was laying on his back, motorcycle on top of him (an average motorcycle weighs 400 pounds). There’s blood running onto the street from his forehead. He smiles.

“I guess I should’ve really listened to Eunsoo-ah when she said to be careful and take care of myself.” Lay laughs.

“Are you okay?” Chanyeol says worried.

“Eo… I just have a 400 pound motorcycle on top of me.” Lay laughs harder. “Maybe it was bad luck to come back here.”

Chanyeol smiles. “Yah! Your scaring me!”

The workers lift the motorcycle and Chanyeol pulls Yixing out. An ambulance soon arrives and they’re taken to the hospital. Soon after, they are sent back to South Korea to have Lay heal there.

------

“OMO!” You scream. “OPPAAA!”

Lay walks in and you hug him tight, but not too tight.

“Are you okay?” You ask. “Ani apa (Does it not hurt)?”

“I’m okay…ish.” Lay shrugs.

“You had us worried like crazy!” Chen complains. “Aish jinja, don’t do anything to scare us like that again!”

When the questions and greetings were over, Lay went to rest in his room. Chanyeol went to check on him once more.

“I’m sorry your getaway was short.” Lay apologises.

“No, I’m sorry.” Chanyeol says. “I kept you up and distracted that night when youshould’ve been sleeping. I was so self-centered then. I guess you were right when you said running away causes more problems… and I dragged you into a huge problem.”

Lay sighs. “Just forget about it and leave. I’m tired.”

Chanyeol bows and leaves the room. He goes to the balcony to find you there sitting down, admiring the sunset.

He sits in the other open chair. There was silence. For minutes.

He swallows.

“Was it really you?...who made up the condition of me leaving if I didn’t leave you alone?” Chanyeol asks.

You look down and rubs your hands together.

“Ani.” You reply. “I would never want you to leave…”

You were about to say “leave me” but you knew that would ‘trigger’ him.

“the group.” You finish. “It don’t want to lose any of you… but if you want to leave, then just go. I don’t want to deal with you if that’s the case.”

“Ani, ani, ani, that’s not the case.” Chanyeol makes it clear.

He secretly smiles.

“Your stomach’s growing.” Chanyeol changes the subject, showing his smile to you. “You must be really excited right?”

“Eo.” You reply with a poker face looking at the sunset, just as he did to you that one morning.

He bits his lips and nods.

“Can I feel your stomach?” Chanyeol asks.

“I guess.” You lift your shirt.

You take his hand and put it against a specific spot. There was a slight push, kick, or whatever he thought it was.

“WHOA!” Chanyeol says amazed. “That’s… WHOA!”

You laugh slightly at his reaction.

I got her to smile. Chanyeol smiles back at you.

You release from Chanyeol’s hand and put your shirt down.

“Can I-” Chanyeol was about to ask you something, but Luhan came.

“Yah, it’s cold you guys, come inside.” Luhan suggests.

“Give us five minutes.” You reply just as Chanyeol was going to.

“A-arraseo.” Luhan says skeptical.

Luhan takes his jacket off and puts it around you. He then leaves. You take it and adjust it so that his body warmth would stay trapped inside it. It was the same jacket you wore that night long ago when you were on the roof with Chanyeol, sorting things out.

Right… she’s Luhan’s now. I was ‘this’ close. Chanyeol thinks.

“We’re… friends right?” Chanyeol asks.

You look down at Luhan’s jacket, then to Chanyeol, who looked somewhat desperate.

“Ani.” You reply, causing him to be held back.

“We aren’t?” Chanyeol questions.

“I don’t know why you keep asking that question Chanyeol. You and the boys are my everything. You are my everything. My family. So stop asking that question because we will never stop being together, no matter the situation, arraseo? I don’t want to fight anymore.” You blurt out. “So you better not start any beef with me. (So you better not start a fight with me)”

“Arraseo! I won’t!” Chanyeol puts his hands up. “But first…”

Chanyeol takes Luhan’s jacket off and takes his own off, putting it as a replacement. He scoots his chair closer to your and side hugs you.

“I heard Kyungsoo and Jongin got into a fight yesterday.” Chanyeol says, changing the subject once more.

“Eo.” You sigh. “I don’t know when they’ll make up. There was a huge misunderstanding. Kyungsoo thought Kai was kissing a random girl when they were just practicing for the drama.”

“Ahhhhh, I see. But if that’s just the case, wouldn’t they have made up already?” Chanyeol asks.

“I think that was just an excuse… there must be something else bothering Kyungsoo or Jongin or…. I don’t even know.” You reply.

There were no words said after that. You two just watched the sunset together. In harmony.

You and Chanyeol come back into the living room after the sun set. You still had Chanyeol’s jacket around you. Luhan was puzzled. His jacket was in Chanyeol’s hand. The boys stared (all of them). You start walking towards the dorm hallway (slowly).

“Yah, hang this.” Chanyeol throws Luhan’s jacket roughly to Luhan.

Luhan catches it, but by sandwiching the jacket with his hands and head, he spins around once and widens his eyes.

“Yah!” Luhan complains.

Chanyeol sticks his tongue out. The boys make the “ouuu” noise and laugh. You roll your eyes and take Chanyeol’s jacket off.

“You hang this.” You shove the jacket into Chanyeol’s face, rougher than Chanyeol did to Luhan, making everyone laughing.

Chanyeol ends up on the floor.

“Yah!” He complains with the same reaction as Luhan.

“Suddenly, I’m not so ticked off.” Luhan laughs.

You giggle. Kyungsoo walks up to you, not laughing.

“Can I talk to you for a little bit?” Kyungsoo asks slowly.

“Can we talk tomorrow? I want to get a good night rest for my check up in the morning. Or… is this really important?” You ask him.

He smiles. “Ani, it’s okay. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to wait a day.”

“Thanks oppa.” You smile and hug him before heading for the shower.

He watches you leave and loses his smile, looking down at the floor.
