Please Don't Get Too Friendly

I sat down next to him hesitantly, averting my gaze from his as I greeted him back. I thought I heard the guys giggle behind me, but I was too tensed for my brain to acknowledge any of it. The engine started and we departed towards the filming set.

"I hope you brought a coat hot enough, because most of the scenes are going to happen outside," called Suho to my attention.

"I think so, but won't you have another spare one for me if I get too cold?" I tried to joke.

"Well, we know someone who will voluntarily give his for you," laughed Baekhyun at the back.

Suddenly, he stopped laughing like an idiot. I turned back to him, then to Chanyeol, and realised he was shooting daggers with his eyes at his friend. When he noticed I was looking at him, he turned to the front again and smiled sheepishly at me.

"I mean, we know that we would all do that for you," tried to save the now intimidated Beagle Line member at the back.

Everyone began to laugh at him and the knot that had formed in my stomach slowly began to untie itself, leaving me more comfortable and natural. During the ride, Sehun, who had plugged his iPhone to the audio system, put their songs and we all sang along. Most of the time, when it was their parts, sang in the silliest way, making me laugh until my abdomen hurt. Once we got to the set, we all got out the van while laughing and singing along to the last song played, Tender Love. The other 4 guys from the other van were already there and acted utterly creeped out by us when they saw our state. We all laughed together and entered the large, white-bricked building before us. Once we crossed the door, we all gasped as we took in the beautifully decorated set. There was one part where it was decorated as a bedroom, seemingly a girl's. Next to the white cream wall, there was a single, slightly lilac-colored bed. On the opposite side, there was a white dressing table with a wide mirror, decorated with delicate ornaments of flowers and leaves. Another room was set as a boy's room, with a dark blue bed and matching wallpaper. There was a small black beanbag that looked very comfortable sitting in a corner of the room, a cellphone lying next to it. Finally, there was a wooden, small desk with a dark brown leather chair with rolling feet in front of it. The last part of the set indoors was a big space with a large couch and chairs next to it. At the back of the room were placed multiple fake doors next to one another. We were all intrigued as we walked around every room, questioning everything we saw.

"Okay, EXO and Amy Lee, you are all present?" suddenly called an mic-enhanced voice behind us.

"Yes, PD-nim!" we answered while hurridely walking to him.

"Good! Nice to meet you all, I'm the producer for Unfair's MV. I believe we have all met before, except you," he said, looking directly at me.

"Ah, yes, PD-nim. I'm Amy Lee, from the soon-to-debut group TetrA!" I introduced myself promptly.

"Nice to meet you, Amy," he answered kindly before going back to business. "Okay, so the first scene we are going to film is EXO in the room 1, the one with the couch and the doors, all sitting together and laughing. Once the first lyrics begin, Amy is going to walk in front of you and D.O is going to begin to lip-sync while looking at her. Amy is going to smile gently at him and laugh before walking away. Then, everyone is going to look at each other before going after her quickly. That will be the first scene."

Good, all I have to do is smile and laugh. Easy. We all walked to the room 3 and the producer placed each member as he wanted. The makeup artists quickly retouched the already applied makeup on us and while more instructions were given to the guys, I was given a beautiful dark blue short dress with pink and white flowery designs over it. The back was laced finely to the middle and the top body part was tight while the low part was evasive. Along with it was given a simple pair of black velvet high heels. I went to change quickly and walked to my place. I saw the guys lift their thumbs up to me, to tell me I was pretty. I blushed and thanked them silently. Then, we heard the song start and I waited for my signal to begin to walk. While waiting, I observed the guys talk about everything and anything, laugh and joke around as they normally would. A warm feeling crept up in me and I began to smile unconsciously along with them. But suddenly, I thought of the troubling question Seung Hye had asked me and the good feeling was washed away like a tsunami. I tried to focus, but it was like her sentences kept resonating in every corner of my head, trapping my brain and suffocating me. I heard a vague “it’s you turn” along with a slight tap on my shoulder and I walked mechanically towards the laughing idols.

“Cut!” the PD’s strict voice called from behind. “Amy, I understand you might be nervous, but please relax. Just stride along to the music and breathe,” he instructed me while giving me a suspicious look.

I apologized and everyone went back to their places. I glanced at the EXO members and they all answered my sorry look with a concerned one, trying to cheer me on quickly. My eyes locked with Chanyeol’s and everything went blank for a moment. I blinked slowly and took a deep breath. I could still see the look he had given me 10 minutes after, when we took the second take. I messed up once again by making a ‘too fake of a smile’, according to the PD. My head had started to spin a bit and I tried to fan myself while waiting for my turn. I had started to feel much too hot for my light clothing and I couldn’t figure out why. The third time my turn was called, I felt my legs give out on me and I fell down before everything turned to dark. The last thing I heard was the yell of my 9 friends, although one voice had stood out from the others. Chanyeol, you'll save me, won't you?

I tried to withhold everything on my own, without telling anyone. Had I known what was going to come, I would have told everyone close to me... Except, well... Her, of course.

I hope I created a bit of suspens for you guys! Do you want to know who the 'her' is? Do you think it's Seung Hye? Or maybe someone else? What about what she said previously? What could she have meant? I hope you're curious :)
