Friendship Connections || EXO

Chae Seol’s POV

After I talked to Sehun and the other members, I quickly packed my things when someone knocked on my apartment door. I stood up slowly and stretched a little bit. When I opened the door, a light brown haired girl surprised me. She was wearing a sunglasses and a red lip tint. Then she waved at me. She looks like a Kpop idol though.


“Are you by any chance, Park Chae Seol?” She asked with her almost whispering voice.
I looked at myself shyly. Right now, I’m wearing an old sweatshirt and pajamas. I feel shy about how she look like and how I looked like. I replied

“Are you, by any chance...”


“Yeon Ra!” Both of us shouted and giggle at the same time with excitement.
I hugged her so tight and we jumped and jumped together.


“But, why are you so early?” I asked in confusion.


“It’s just that I’m so excited to see you again personally. And so that we can land to South Korea in the morning. By the way, did you pack your bags already?” She replied letting out a heavy sigh.


I looked at my luggage and bags near the couch when I let out a sigh of relief.

“Yeah! I’m ready to go!” I looked at her with excitement.

“Where’s your closet? Did you prepare your clothes yet? I’m gonna be your stylist for today. I also got some fashion clothes here that you can use.” She said while looking at me from head to toe.


I closed the door behind her and she pulled me with her luggage asking me where my closet is. She looked at my messy closet and she placed her right hand on her chin. While trying to decide for my outfit. Then she opened her luggage and put all of her clothes on the floor. She observed every one of them and finally came up with my “Airport fashion.”


I took a shower and when my hair finally dried, she turned on the curling iron gave my hair a little bit of style. After, she took out all her cosmetics and applied makeup on my face.
This is a total makeover! I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn’t believe what she just did. She can be a fashion designer, a makeup artist and a hairstylist!


She gave me a pair of glasses and we finally left my apartment. And we took a cab on the way to the airport.


It took us 12 hours of flight time from California to Seoul. My whole body felt exhausted the whole time. But when our plane finally landed it went away.

We quickly find our own luggage and bags and headed to the Airport mini stores. Where we took pictures together and bought some beauty products and snacks as we walk, talk and laugh.

Some people looked at us and even took pictures of us.
“Wear your sunglasses.” Yeon Ra whispered to me secretly while simply looking at the products.

I put my sunglasses and I felt uncomfortable with the surrounding.
“They took pictures of us because we look like Kpop Idols.” She jokingly.
“Wah!” She cleared her throat. “I’m really used to this.” She chuckled.
I giggled silently about what she said. But I muttered under my breath ‘I’m so uncomfortable right now!’

As we leave the store we heard people whispering about us. Yeon Ra and I chose to just ignore them. But still the flashes of the camera really pissed me off. We walked fastly until we finally arrived at the exit of the airport. We rode a taxi and we left our luggage in Yeon Ra’s place. But then we just left as fast as we can so that we can have more free time shopping.


We rode the same taxi and dropped us off at Myeondong. There’s such a lot of people that totally surprised me. We spent until 6:00 PM shopping and eating. Wow! Their food was great! Korea is always the best for me.


It’s pretty dark outside but the night is just starting. We were walking when Yeon Ra stopped behind me. Her face turned bright pink and she looked at me smiling.

“EXO! They’re here in Myeondong! As in RIGHT NOW! Probably in the corner of the streets or shopping!”


My heart beats so hard that I can barely hear them. ‘What should I do? What if I just meet EXO? Should I scream, cry or jump because of the happiness overload?’ I slapped my face quietly. ‘Stop, Seol! That’s not gonna happen ever!’

Yeon Ra looked at me and she burst of laughing.

“Chae Seol-ah! You’re blushing! You’re doing scenarios in your mind aren’t you?” She smiled teasingly.

“No I’m not!” I said as guilt rushed through my body.

We entered an Instrument store that was filled with lots of people. Then Yeon Ra used the bathroom and just left me with the other people. I looked around the store. But I couldn’t concentrate because a lot of girls kept on pushing and pushing me. Yeon Ra called me through the phone but I couldn’t hear her because of the noise around me, so I decided to message her.
I kept on walking and walking with my eyes on my phone. The girls who are pushing me just led me to different directions of the store.


I tripped then I let out a squeal. When a tall man in sunglasses caught my back. His dark brown hair covered his forehead and his eyebrows. I tried to look at his eyes through his sunglasses but I couldn’t. I recognized his nose and lips in the first place. He gave me a sweet smile that can almost punch my heart.


“No way…. K-kai” My voice was cracking

“Hyung!” Someone called from behind.

Then I managed to stood by myself and let go from Kai’s warm hands holding my waist. His fingertips really gave me chills to my back. I felt my face grew hot and pink as a strawberry that is ready to burst.

I saw Sehun drinking a bubble tea while walking towards me. He stopped as I know he recognized my face. He lower down his sunglasses and smile. He held my hand in just a second and he gave me a piece of paper.

These fangirls are here just for EXO? They took pictures of me again. But this time, they took stolen pictures of me with Kai and Sehun. I just hope that they don't upload it on any SNS or else I'll be dead. Because of the numerous number of people, and their camera flashes, I felt a little dizzy and I think that I’m gonna collapse on the floor. Then, Yeon Ra grabbed my wrist and we ran out of the crowded store.


She gave me a bottle of water and we sat on the vacant bench.

“So, what happened?” She looked at me in confusion as she took a sip of her juice.

“While I was messaging you earlier, I tripped and Kai held my back. Then Sehun gave me a piece of paper.” I said as I looked immediately at the paper that was crumpled in my hand.

It’s a Hotel address.

Yeon Ra searched it on her phone immediately as she heard the name of the Hotel.

She gave me a dirty look that made me tap her forehead. “Hey! Stop your dirty thoughts right now!” I rolled my eyes on her.

“This is way beyond my imagination Seol! This is one of the top hotels in Seoul! Daebak!”

Then, Yeon Ra’s phone rang. She stood up and went the different way. While I was alone sitting on a bench, some man in black polo came and ask for identification about me. He asked about my name, age, birthday and even my phone number which is I found weird. I wasn’t really paying attention him because I was busy looking for Yeon Ra.


When I heard he mentioned the word JYP Entertainment, my mind went blank for a second and my whole body froze. He gave me a business card that made my hands really cold.


“Wh-what? JYP Entertainment?”

“Yes, we’ll be having an audition and I hope that you can come.” He smiled and left. But his voice was still in my mind. Until Yeon Ra returned.

“Hey are you okay?” She asked curiously. Her half side bangs was filled with curiousness yet a worried face.

She wrapped her arms around mine. “Come on let’s go! We’re gonna be late for the concert.”
