"How many times do I have to tell you to keep your eyes shut when I'm putting makeup on you?" The angry makeup artist scolds me again. I hate being a burden but she doesn't understand, I'm very fidgety when I'm nervous.

I clear my throat and squeeze my eyes shut "Uhh mianhae noona, I won't do it again" I apologise for the tenth time this afternoon.

The woman lets out an exaggerated sigh "Oh it's okay Chanyeol. It doesn't matter anyway now, you're finished. You can open your eyes now." I open my eyes with a sense of a relief, I've always hated the makeup stage of getting ready. I look up to thank the makeup artist but she quickly directs me to another stylist and storms off, I guess I've pissed her off.

Not wasting anymore time I comply with her instructions and head over to the other stylist in the dressing room, who is holding a range of ties for me to wear. 

"How's my favourite giant doing today?" he asks as he starts holding ties up in front of me. His name is Matt, and I'm pretty sure he's the only one in the styling crew who hasn't yelled at me. So clearly he's my favourite.

"Nervous, not gonna lie" I reply with a laugh. And my nervousness is completely justified! Sori and I are having an interview today. Not just any interview though, otherwise I would be perfectly calm and collected right now.

"I can tell, you cannot keep still. And you got Saera angry." We both laugh. "Anyway I think this tie would look best for today. Keeping it simple." He suggests as he shows me a plain black tie. I smile and quickly nod in agreement before he puts it on.

"Perfect!" Matt yells with excitement. "Once again I have outdone myself." I look in the large mirror beside me. I'm wearing a custom made black suit, as well as an expensive watch. My black hair is all greased up and I have heaps of eyeliner on. Anyone would think I'm going to a red carpet event. However, I have to agree with Matt. I look great.

"Agreed, thanks Matt." I reply.

"Anytime, now break a leg. And try to relax" I turn around to wave goodbye but before I know it, he's gone.

Leaving the dressing room, I enter the fancy room where we're having the interview. It's small and completely covered in white. The walls, the floor, the rug, all the Exo and Sori merchandise surrounding the room. The only thing that isn't white are the black leather seats that are ready for us. One is for the host, and the other love seat sized sofa is for Sori and I. It all looks elegant, but the fact that so much effort has been put into this interview bothers me. 

Since I realised I actually haven't told you what this interview is about, let me tell you now. After a couple of months, the last episode of 'My Worst Enemy' has finally aired and the series has ended. The fans saw everything. Our fights, our kiss, everything. And now they know Sori and I are official. So this interview is basically going to be all about our relationship.

However, both of us have been instructed to lie about a few things so that our fans don't get upset. You'll see soon enough.

My thoughts are interrupted when Sori and our managers walk in the room. I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped upon seeing her. She is wearing a beautiful red dress that falls just above her knees and matching heels. It's skin tight and the V-line falls a bit too low on her chest. I can see other males in the room staring at her, which makes me clench my jaw in anger. But I know that she's mine. And she's gorgeous. 

I smile at her when they walk over.

"Hey yoda, you look handsome." she smiles.

"Maybe, but nothing compared to you right now." 

She slightly blushes and looks down. Cute. "That would comfort me but I'm way too nervous right now. I'm not ready for this," she whines, turning to HonJae her manager. "Do we really need to do this unnie?"

HonJae fixes up Sori's hair while she speaks. "I and exo's mangers have told you both plenty of times that this needs to be done. You want to show a great image to your fans. And you don't want to make Young-min mad. We all know what happens when he's angry."

"True." We both reply simultaneously. We know all too well.

One of our managers Lee, who's standing next to HonJae speaks up "So once more, have you both memorised what you need to for the interview?" his voice stern.

"Ne hyung, I assure you." I reply confidently.

"Same here, I've memorised it so much I can hear it in my dreams." Her whining tone causes HonJae to laugh, however I know Lee isn't laughing. He never does.

He responds simply with a "Good. You better not screw this up." And then he leaves so he can answer his suddenly ringing phone.

HonJae steps closer to us both and smiles warmly "Don't worry you will be great. The fans already love you two together." she reassures us. Her eyes widen slightly "Oh look it's your host Dong-hyun. Good luck." 

"Anyeong" We both reply, waving to her as she turns around and leaves us to fend for ourselves.

"She's right." Sori says next to me "We should be fine."

I nod and look down at her "Yeah I hope so. We know what to say, as long as we stick to it we're fine." She nods in response.

Suddenly a loud voice booms from behind us "Good afternoon lovebirds! Are you ready for this?"

The cameras are rolling, the lights are beaming down my face, and this love seat leather couch turns out to be more uncomfortable than it looks. I'm freaking out, and the interview is about to start. I quickly look to Chanyeol. He looks completely relaxed and calm (and incredibly hot right now). How does he do that?! Why can't I be calm right now? Maybe it's the fact that he gets to wear a suit. Surely it has to be more comfortable than this body squeezing dress. If I move at all from the way I'm sitting right now, I'm pretty sure the camera will get a good view of my underwear.

Okay Sori, just take a deep breath. You can do this.

I take a big breath in and out. Chanyeol quickly looks to me and squeezes my hand, he can tell that I'm nervous.

Suddenly I hear a voice yell START and Chanyeol has no choice but to let go of my hand.

"You saw their hot fire and spark on SBS 'My Worst Enemy' and just like them you fell in love with the two. Now that the super popular drama has ended, we can talk to them in person and get the answers that you've all been waiting for. So here I am with Exo's handsome Park Chanyeol and the beautiful Kim Sori."

"Anyeonghaseyo!" We both cheer happily.

The interview starts off pretty smoothly. Thankfully Dong-hyun is a nice host and isn't too pushy at first. Chanyeol and I take turns in answering the questions and neither of us falter. We joke around and talk about how the show was given a rating because of all the swearing involved in the show. Which was hilarious, as it wasn't until I saw the show that I realised that everyone swore heaps. Not just me either.

 Pretty quickly, my confidence builds and the nerves ease away.

Then the more difficult questions finally turn up.

"Now Sori, I think everyone really wants to know the answer to this." He grins widely, showing his teeth that are so white I'm convinced they are fake, "Before the trailer of the show appeared, everyone had the idea that you and Chanyeol were very good friends. But soon we all saw that you two fought a lot. So what I'd like to know is, who are we supposed to believe? What was your relationship truly like before you began dating?"

I am perfectly aware that if I answer this wrong, the whole world will know we have lied to them and we were never really close in the beginning. Young-min is probably watching me right now as well. 

But yet, I smile again and fake a small laugh. "Yeah I can see how everyone may be confused about that. But as Chanyeol mentioned earlier, the show had a script and lines were written for us. The concept was that we were idols that hated each other who eventually end up being boyfriend and girlfriend. It wasn't improvised. Before the show we truly were always good friends." I mentally give myself a high five, knowing I recited my words perfectly.

He nods and contemplates what I said for a moment before responding back "Yes but what about the rumour that circulated a few months before the show started? The one where you and Chanyeol were seen having a heated argument at a variety show."

"We heard about that rumour as well. Honestly I don't recall anything like that happening on a show..." I lie "But when you know someone for a long time you're bound to have disagreements along the way. It's part of any relationship." I smile again.

"That's true. Arguments are inevitable." He replies, disappointed that he didn't catch me. However this man keeps coming up with ideas. "So if the drama was scripted, and you were only friends prior, at what point did you two start to date? Your fans are dying to know if you may have been secretly dating before hand."

"We started dating while we were filming. I suppose the atmosphere of the show made us realise that we care about each other more than just friends do." I look up to Chanyeol who is smiling, his twinkling eyes are smiling at me. I cannot help but blush. I mean, that answer is completely a lie. We did decide to date at the very end of the show... when we realised that it was a show.

"That's just adorable, you're even blushing right now." We laugh, I start blushing some more. "That means that all the gossip about you two only dating just to earn the show more popularity is all a lie then right? You two genuinely love each other?"

Wait. What?

What gossip?

Nobody told me that this rumour was spreading. 

Suddenly, I don't know why, but I begin to panic. I can't think of what to say. I hadn't prepared an answer for this, I know what Young-min would want me to say. But I can't think of the words for this. Even though I've been in similar situations to this before.

Luckily I have Chanyeol next to me, who swiftly answers the question.

"People shouldn't believe everything they read online. That gossip isn't true, we aren't dating for publicity. I really like Sori and Sori really likes me too. I'm glad we're dating." He finishes, flashing his dazzling smile to Dong-hyun, who clearly isn't going to get a front cover story from this interview today. 

He laughs along, "I believe you. Anyone who was sitting in the same room as you could clearly feel the chemistry between you two. You're just as cute as you were in the final episode, when Sori gives you a Rilakkuma doll and you hug. And then you have a party with SM later. You two are both so cute together and I wish you good luck with your relationship."

"Gozamnida" we both say together. Chanyeol holds my hand, and I can tell we're thinking the same thing. It's almost over.

"Now before we end this interview, there were many letters that were sent to us that begged me to ask you this. So please forgive me." He laughs again "The fans asked if you could prove your relationship right here, and maybe give the viewers a quick kiss?"

Immediately I know he is lying, the fans didn't ask him this. This show doesn't even receive any letters, they don't have an address to send letters to. 

But still we both play it off and we kiss each other on the lips. Just a short one, we're keeping things PG here. And soon enough the interview ends and the cameras are off.

Thank God.

"Great work you guys, you were perfect." HonJae congratulates us once we get off the set, "Now you guys need to get dressed and we'll celebrate with some pizza or something. I'm starving!" 

"Yes!!" Chanyeol cheers "I haven't had pizza in weeks! Thanks noona. " 

"No problem, see you in a bit." she says before she walks off to talk to the director of the show.

And now it's finally over. This weird adventure and this crazy show. Of course I'm thrilled that Chanyeol is my boyfriend, and our relationship has been more than great ever since. But personally, I'm glad to be done with this show. I'm still mad at Young-min obviously, for lying to us in the first place. Especially considering how many people were in on it the whole time. HonJae, Exo's managers, all of Exo, Wendy, even my parents were told about it. They claimed it was all some elaborate plan to get the two of us together and then it was Young-min who decided to make a show out of it. Crazy right? But clearly I had no choice but to let it go, he's my boss after all and I love all of the others for caring about me that much.

"Hey are you okay Sori? You seem deep in thought." Chanyeol asks, waving his hand in front of my eyes.

"Oh yeah I'm fine, I'm just glad that's over. Now I can finally focus on the tour and nothing else. My stress is finally gone."

He steps closer to me and smirks "Focus on nothing else at all?" He teases cheekily.

I roll my eyes "Well obviously I'm going to focus on you too Yoda." I laugh.

"Good" he says and kisses my forehead. "By the way Sori, I need to tell you something."

"Yeah? What is it?" I ask, looking up at him.

"You look beautiful." 

I smile and blush again, looking down. I can't help it. Especially when he says that with his amazingly deep voice.

" What are you love birds doing? I want pizza too you know. Hurry up!" Exo's manager Lee commands angrily, causing us both to jump.

"Sorry Lee!" We both yell out to him. I peck Chanyeol on the cheek and run back to my dressing room. I'm starving! Pizza sounds so good right now!

The End :)
