Baozi

That’s the nickname that you give to me

That’s the nickname that you tell to the world through every interview

“Bear with me”

You said those confusing words before our showcase started

But then I understand what you mean

“Jin Baozi”

You tell the mc and the viewer about my nickname

You look at me with that big smile of yours

And understanding it I smiled

I’m not mad of it

I’m thankful

I know you want to help me

You don’t want me to be in the shadow

Although I have quite a part on MAMA [including the screaming part]

But on other songs, mine is just a few glimpse

The first time I read the sheet, I felt disappointed

But then I’m thankful that I’m having my debut

I think I will do it step by step

I have the time

I will practice harder

And tries to charm in every way I can

Although off stage I’m just being me, I like to observe

Smiling when I watch the other member mischievous acts

Hearing when one of them wants to share their stories and complains

Helping when Kris needs some opinion or talk to the other member

Hugs Tao when he feels down

That’s all I can do to support my members

Although I’m feeling homesick

Although adapting to the new environment is kinda hard

Although I want to sing more

I want to talk more

I want to look more attractive

But I know steps are needed

Although my starting point is slower than the others

But being discourage won’t help me

And then, there are you

It’s surprising first when I heard the reason why you called me ‘Baozi’ on the interview

I never know you look at me like that

Is it real? Or is it things that you made up to strengthen the story

I never dare to ask

Just hearing and watching your smile

Then you tell about us often playing soccer

It’s true, but it’s on our trainee days

And it’s not always only both of us

I laugh at myself that it’s like he’s showing that we’re close friends

But I know that Yixing is his close friend

Not me

But we’re friends, just like when I’m with Kris, or Chen, or Tao or with EXO-K members

I felt bad when you scold me telling that now I’m more often shopping than playing soccer with you on the interview

‘sorry…’ you know exactly that lying is not my specialty

It’s not that what you did is bad

I know you want the people to know about me more

Sometimes white lies is needed

Especially on our job

We need to entertain

We need to show good figure

We need to be attractive

Even I know that the fans like some ‘relationship’

Just like HunHan or KrisYeol

I remember when the members playfully tease you
