This Is War Part 1

[A/N: The chapter's title was inspired by MBLAQ'S new song, "This is War"... LOL. This is war between Se Hun... and (guess who!)

Also, thank you for your nice comments. From the bottom of my heart, I'd like to say Thank You. ♥ And say hello to a long chapter]

-------------------

I opened my eyes. He congratulated me last night. Unpredictable. Just his mere presence makes my heart throb. What to do? What to do?

7 A. M. One more day, and I'll start schooling. Seoul International School, here I come. 

My phone was ringing. Aigoo. I never had a colored cellphone before, so I still find it hard to use it. Jinri-eonni was calling. 

"Annyong Haseyo." I greeted sleepily.

"Joo Young, today, I need your help." Jinri-eonni told me.

"Sure thing. What is it, eonni?" I asked.

"Go to my office right now. This is an emergency. Thanks Joo Young." Eonni replied then hung up.

Aigoo. What's happening? Is something wrong with eonni? 

I hurriedly took a bath, dressed up and took the bus to her office at SM.

>>> When I entered her office, she was packing stuff.

"Eonni, are you leaving SM?!?" I asked in a panicky voice. What I got from eonni was a laugh.

"Silly, my assistant cannot make it to work today, so I'm the one putting all of EXO's clothes in the truck.... You are so funny, pretty girl." She told me.

Aigoo. Eonni. You made me worry.

I started packing EXO's expensive clothes in the boxes.

"What is EXO doing today?" I asked.

"Taping for their guesting and live performance. Hectic day it is!" Eonni answered.

So I'll just help you pack the clothes then that's it, right, eonni?" I asked.

Again, she laughed and then gave me an evil smile.

"No, dear, that's not all. You're gonna help me dress up EXO." Jinri responded.

WAE? WAE? Why eonni, why? I'm a clumsy awkward girl... Not me, chebal.

"Uhh. Okay then." I told her politely.

"Oh come on. As if you haven't seen your husband's body!" She said while laughing.

"Eonni! Nappeun-eonni! I haven't!" I told her. My cheeks were heating up.

>>> FAST FORWARD<<<

EXO was already inside the dressing room when we entered. 

Jino, Chanyeol, and Moon Kyu were sleeping peacefully on one sofa. They look so cute!

while Se Hun and Tao's eyes were on me. Did I do something wrong? 

"Hello boys!" Jinri-eonni said with a loud voice that she woke up the sleeping EXO members.

"Hello Joo Young. Are you going to help noona today?" Jino asked me. 

I nodded. And then Tao started smiling at me. "Seems fun, right, Se Hun?" Tao asked Se Hun who was starting to give me a cold stare. 

"Fun your face." Se Hun told Tao and then Se Hun left the room. 

Jino and the rest of EXO started giggling like they know something.

"Are you two fighting?" I asked Tao.

Tao stood in front of me. "Of course not. We're buddies! That's how we show our brotherhood!" Tao told me.

I smiled. I felt relieved.

"Hey, you guys should probably start dressing up. Taping is in 2 hours" Jinri-eonni strictly told EXO. 

"Ne, noona." They answered.

Soon, EXO went out to go to their shower rooms. But where's Se Hun? 

"Eonni, where's Se Hun?" I asked.

"Why? Do you want to see him shower?" Jinri-eonni asked me while trying to keep a straight face.

"Ya! Eonni! Not like that! Not like that!" I told her while making a crying face.

"I'm just fooling around. That Se Hun probably went ahead to shower. He doesn't like showering with a lot of people around. Neat freak much." Eonni said. 

I just nodded. Eonni asked me to bring Se Hun's other taping clothes to the makeup room since Se Hun would probably need it.

When I entered the room, no one was in there except for...

Tao. and he had no shirt on. 

I'm not the least bit attracted to his half naked body. Too bulky. Probably on steroids or something. 

"Hey." Tao muttered while coming forward. I looked away. Argh. He has that perverted stare:

And I don't like it. 

"Won't you put a shirt on?" I asked.

"How can I put my shirt on when you're still holding it?" Tao asked me sheepishly.

Holding your shirt? This is Se Hun's, not Tao's. 

"This is Se Hun's." I told him nicely.

and then abruptly, Se Hun entered the room. He immediately put his hand over my eyes. Was he trying to cover my eyes from Tao?

"That's right. The shirt's mine. Go get your own. And get your own makeup room." Se Hun told Tao.

Tao just smirked. "Cold, selfish Se Hun never dies, right?" Tao said as he slammed the door.

I removed Se Hun's hand from my view.

"Why are you here? In this room? With that bastard?" He asked me firmly. I can't help but notice his masculine scent post-shower.

"Eonni told me to bring your clothes here. I don't know why Tao's loitering." I said and then I gave the clothes to him.

I was about to leave, but he suddenly asked, "Did he try to do something to you?" 

I shook my head then left. 

Are they really friends or what? Tao told me that they're buddies, but Se Hun acts otherwise.

>>> FAST FORWARD<<<

I was able to watch their taping on Strong Heart. Tao seems so funny and the rest of EXO, but then again, Se Hun remained neutral and serious. Sometimes, I question if he's the real maknae or not.

>>> SE HUN'S POV<<<

And she had to come to our schedule today. Doesn't she feel Tao's interest in her? Argh. I'm going nuts, and to add insult to the injury, Tao deliberately showed his body to my "wife." Show off bastard. He's testing my limits.  FINE. I'll show him how evil I can get.

THIS IS WAR. 

>>> Filming in 3. 2. 1.... STRONG HEART episode 60: EXO special

I don't really like watching Strong Heart. It's too dramatic for me. I mean, yeah, I've got my obstacles, but I didn't bother sharing my boring life to the whole of South Korea. I listened intently to the stories of Jino-hyung, Moon Kyu-hyung, Chanyeol-hyung, and Kai-hyung. When it was Tao's turn to tell his "success" story, I pretended to listen, but my eyes started looking for Joo Young.

She's watching, and damn it? She's smiling at Tao's story?!? Damn it. 

And I don't know why, but the attention of everyone was on me. Is it my turn to speak?

"Se Hun-ah, you're my bestfriend in EXO, right?" Tao told me with his signature dangerous smirk.

Don't call me Se Hun-ah, little bastard. We're not close.

"Yeah. Of course." I lied to the audience.

Lee Seung-gi sunbaenim ( the host) asked us to tell our friendship story because the audience seems to be interested.

"Se Hun's inspiration to become an idol was me." Tao claimed. The audience seemed to be amused.

For heaven's sake, Edison (Tao) Huang, you are gonna die. You're making my blood boil, moron.

"Maybe. But SM picked me first. Tao followed me to Seoul because he wanted to become an idol too, and he won't accept it if he's not going to be a trainee." I told everyone.

Now the audience laughed. Take that, ugly bastard. Now tell me who's boss?

Tao was starting to glare at me.

I won this round, martial arts fella. Better luck next time.
