A Deer and A Baozi

Chapter 56

Ling's POV

When I woke up, he was gone. There were no signs of him ever being in the room with me. I sat up annoyed, realising that this was the second time someone left me to wake up to a surprise. I grabbed my phone and my fingers linger in my contacts.

I only had Luhan and Minseok's numbers on my phone. The other members didn't have time to give me their numbers due to their busy schedules.


I hover over Xiumin's name, wondering how weird it would be for me to ask him about Sehun's whereabouts. I bit back and shook my head.

I was just concerned for him that's all.
I sent a text to Xiumin asking him if Sehun was back at the dorm.

No, why?
-Minseok

No reason.
-Ling

I couldn't bring myself to tell him that he'd been with me last night. I could almost see the twitch of annoyance at the corner of his mouth as he look at me with disappointment. I recall the words he said to me on the plane and bit back a smile.

He's still so protective of me despite us breaking up.


Pushing Xiumin off my mind, I focused back on the problem at hand. I had an unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach about Sehun's safety. Being impatient to know that he's alright, I grabbed my jacket and head for the door, hoping that maybe I could find him before Borin did.

He's vulnerable right now, I can't just leave him alone.


Just as I was about to reach for the handle, my phone rings. I answer it, struggling to put on my shoes.

"Hello?" I took my keys from the nearby rack, my attention not really focused on the conversation.

"Good morning,"

I froze at the sound of the deep cold voice that greeted me and suddenly I forgot everything.

He hasn't contacted me since the last time I was in Korea,
What did he want from me now?

Sehun'sPOV

I received a text from Xiumin just as I was about to enter the dorm.

Where are you, Ling was asking about you.
-Minseok

I grin. It's nice to know that she's still worrying about me.

I'm at the door.
-Sehun

Alright, but please don't make Ling worry.
-Minseok

I frown and remembered that Xiumin had broken up with Ling.

"Speak for yourself," I muttered bitterly under my breath and opened the door to the dorm. I yawn and make my way across the hall. It'd be good to get some shut eyes, I didn't get a wink of sleep next to Ling last night.

The corners of my mouth lifted as I remembered her sleeping face and my heart began to race again.

"Out late?"

Borin was staring at me, standing with her hands on her hips in the empty living room. I stared at her for a brief moment but did not feel like putting up with her this particular morning. I ignore her and head for the stairs.

"Hunnie!" She blocks my way to the stairs and stares at me. Her expression was angry making her face twist in an ugly expression. "Where were you last night?"

I shrug, not looking at her. "It doesn't matter."

She stomped her feet like a child. "It does matter! You're dating me, there is no reason for you to go see her."

I glare at her and scowl. "You don't own me, Borin, we may be dating, but I can still do whatever I want to."

Borin's face swelled and turned red with anger. She pulls out her phone and shows me the pictures. It seems like that's all she has up her sleeve now and it was the only thing tying me to her. I sigh and open my mouth to complain.

"What are those?"

I turn to see Suho staring at her, his face was emotionless and his eyes were wide with terror. Behind me, I hear Borin let out a small squeal of astonishment before Suho grabbed her by the wrist and took the phone out of her hands.

"Did you do this to Ling? Was it you and your friends?" Suho's voice was dangerously calm as he scrolled through the photos.

"No," Borin's voice was barely a whisper. "Ling, she-"

Suho looked at her in confusion, his brows met in the middle and he bit his lip. I too look at her expectantly. Just what kind of excuse can you come up with now?

She didn't.

"I didn't beat up Ling, it was the people I knew." She explained confidently. "I just happen, I just happen to have these photos."

I narrow my eyes at her, but Suho didn't hold back. He stuffed the phone in his pocket and pointed a finger at her. "You've been lying to us this whole time about the incident, and everything?"

Borin's jaw tightened and looked away, her bangs hiding her eyes from view. I could feel Suho's body tense up from guilt but I didn't want to reassure him. He deserved to feel guilty for everything he and Chanyeol had done to Ling. If not for them, nothing would be the way it was right now. Ling would still be living in the dorm, and I would not be dating this monstrosity of a human being.

Ling's POV

I arrived at SM entertainment's main office in my long informal jacket. I grabbed its collar and pulled it up wondering if I should've worn something more formal. The lady at the front desk greeted and guided me to Kim Young Min's office. I follow after her not daring to look up at anyone. My heart was thumping loudly in my chest and I was almost certain it was from the overwhelming fear that almost paralyzed me.

What in the world did he want from me, I haven't heard anything from him since before shooting the EXO show.


"Ling right?" I felt a figure emerge from before me and I look up.

Jonghyun and Key (ft. SHINee) stood before me cutting my view from my guide to Young Min's office. I let out a small gasp, I had been a SHINee fan long before I was an EXO fan. Their music was popular in my school and all my Chinese friends had made sure that I would listen to them. The lady walked out of sight and I struggle to retain my view of her as I bow as low as I could possibly go.

"Hello," My voice came out as barely a whisper and I felt my ears grow red. I can't possibly make any more of a fool out of myself.

"You were the fan MC for Life with EXO, why did you stop?" Jonghyun helped me straighten up. "I liked you better than that other girl that came on after."

I blush and bury my face in my hands.

"Thank you," I bow again and I hear them laugh at me.

"I hear you're going to be a new recruit under SM as an actress." Key said a smile played on his lips and I look up at him in surprise.

"Huh?" I blurt out and suddenly realise how rude I seemed to them. Korean culture was, after all, different than my own. I bow profusely and apologized repeatedly under my breath. I die a little inside from embarrassment.

The two of them stare at me in silence for a moment then break out in a spontaneous roar of laughter. I feel the stares of all the people in the hallway and wished that I would disappear.
Jonghyun placed a firm hand on my shoulder and beamed at me. "It's nice to have someone like you join our team."

I stare at him, getting lost in his smiling eyes. Without warning, Key placed his hand on my other shoulder making me jump in surprise. The two of them laugh more while maintaining their grip on my shoulder and I tried desperately to hide my face with my hair.

Stupid, why do you keep acting so stupid.


"I hope we'll get to work with you sometime in the near future." Key grinned while Jonghyun choked back the tears that started to gather in his eyes.

They left me alone in the middle of the hallway with no one to show me the way to Young Min's office. I let out a quiet groan and tried to remember where I saw the desk lady go.

I found myself lost in a series of unfamiliar doors in a narrow hallway, staring dead ahead hoping to see another person. The light flickered giving me an unsettling feeling and I instinctively pressed myself against the nearby wall.

"And that's all the paperwork you have to fill out." The cold voice sent shivers down my spine and I knew that I was in the right place. I turn and look through the glass windows, looking for the source of the voice.

"Right, so everything is done then?" An unfamiliar raspy voice spoke just as I spotted Luhan in the furthest window. I move closer to see his dark expression as he stare motionless at the paper that sat in front of him, his signature could be seen clear as day at the base of the sheet.

What was he signing? Don't tell me-


Another voice spoke and to my surprise, in fluent Chinese. "We should've sued him when we had the chance."

I shift my angle to study the figures in the room. Besides Luhan and Young Min, the others were unmistakenly-

Tao and Kris?


I felt cold sweat drip down the side of my face as Young Min spoke again. His voice was filled with amusement and his lips cracked into a crooked smile.

"Welcome back to SM entertainment.

Notes

//Author's Notes:
Luhan, Tao and Kris return to SM entertainment and judging by Kris's words, it doesn't seem to be voluntary. Also, according to Key (SHINee), there seems to be a rumour floating around about Ling's recruitment into SM as an actress?
