Sora's POV~

I didn’t get to go back with Super Junior that day. Instead, I was sent to my new apartment, and I had to watch the decorators so I could make sure they were doing their job right. It’s not like I would have cared anyway, my room was all set up and pretty. The rest of the rooms were only starting to be completed.

Strolling into my kitchen, I found a group of four men arranging my new kitchen. This was led in from my living room, and connected to a random wall close by my fridge and cupboards. It was arched, slightly, and had another curved top, connected by metal rods, that were raised so it was near, and higher than the worktops of the kitchen. I assumed that this curved top would be the table area of the kitchen, even though it was so close to the sink and such.

Undoubtedly, it was pretty, with a black dusty metal surface, the eating surface shone like marble, and the closets were white. I liked it, and they were almost done too. I continued to watch, and the men didn’t seem to notice. I was awoken from my little fascination of their handicraft by my mobile phone ringing- Shot by Infinite-shamelessly, I hurriedly moved to my living room that had just been completed. “Yeoboseyo Eunmi.” I said calmly into the phone. It had been a while since we hung out, just the two of us.

“How are things? I saw you on TV.”

“Things are going swell I suppose and I know you probably saw me on TV. It was broadcasted for the whole of South Korea to see.” I said, with a roll of my eyes.

“You wanna go out sometime? It’s been ages.” Eunmi complained. “Also, what is this I heard about you thinking my older brothers are hot?”

“Damn it, did JinJu tell you?! They are hot Eunmi! Why else would one of them be a model, and the other a… photographer?” I squealed; her brothers were good looking as goodness knows what to compare them too. “And what is this I hear about you not letting them date anyone? The poor souls must be bored.”

“Don’t you dare pity those poor souls Lee Sora! I have to live with them now, and they are not poor souls! They are messy, and loud, and obnoxious an-“

“Aren’t most guys like that?” I laughed, cautiously moving out of the way as one of the decorators came through with the red platform for a bed. Ooh, so exciting! “But there is definitely one brother we can all agree on who is hot.”

“Damn straight! JinJu’s big brother! Have you heard from him? He’s also a model!”

“I know!” I agreed simultaneously, checking the time in the process. I had something coming up that day, something to do with meeting people. Nothing new anymore I suppose. “Well, sorry Eunmi. I shall get back to you on our splendid get together, because for now I have a schedule to attend.” I said formally, and listened to her laugh.

“That is quite alright Sora. I believe that you and I are both very busy persons. I shall wait for your answer to my invitation with anticipation.” Eunmi replied in the same tone, causing chuckles from the both of us.  I hung up, and ended the worker’s shifts, saying they had worked hard, and they could come again tomorrow. They all mumbled a response, and all I could do was smile, as I waved them off awkwardly.

With them gone from my ‘home’ I went to check on the kitchen and the bedrooms. Majority of it was done, and I was happy for that. The bathrooms were the first things sorted (I don’t know why, and they were all done up beautifully. I was quite enjoying this decorating stuff. Doing a little pirouette, I danced my way to my walk in closet in my bedroom, and rooted for some clothes to dress into.

The clothes I was already in were fine, but I wanted comfort. I dressed comfortably, but since it was me, and I was close with Zhoumi, comfortably also meant stylishly. With a grin, I was out of the apartment, and hailing for a taxi to the SM building.

When I arrived at the lavish, glassy automatic doors of the SM building, I made no visible hesitation in entering. I hoped I wouldn’t get lost again. Those countless white walls… I shuddered at being lost for the nth time in this god forsaken building. For once, I managed to get lost numerously in this one building. Why? Because everything in it looked the same!

I reached the receptionist, who knew my little issue well, and gave me directions to my next destination. Lee Soo Man’s office. I gulped.

Something about that man made me feel nervous. I think it was his ‘I’m-better-than-you-and-I-know-it’ aura. Yes, that must be it that made me so nervous. I believe so. Sighing, I looked at each door I walked past, hitting myself in the face when I found his office. How I couldn’t remember it, I don’t know. There were two black doors leading into the office, both large, and with silver circular knobs.

Haha, knobs.

I’m so mature.

I rapped my knuckles against the door a few times, and I was greeted to a smiling Lee Soo Man. I immediately bowed, he directed me to the familiar leather black seat. It still looked pristine, from my last visit, which amazed me, considering the amount of people that must come and visit him in his office on a daily basis. It must be a lot right? He is the CEO, meaning he must have a lot to worry about.

I glanced around his office for a few moments, my eyes barely taking in the trophies, and photos by the side all in glass cabinets dotted around his room like a museum. There wasn’t a reason. I just liked to pretend I was interested, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing. It improves my acting for one. As I continued to gaze around the room, my eyes pretending to be fascinated, I was asked to stand up and greet persons.  Gladly, I stood up, and my heel.

“Hello, I’m Lee Sora.”                      

“We are one! We are EXO!” their little chant amazed me, and I immediately straightened up. That was when I recognised them. Majority of them anyway, like eight. Eight out of twelve, for a first attempt that’s pretty decent. I smiled awkwardly, as they bowed. Oh gosh, Jongin. He was staring at me, far too intently.

“Have you been introduced before?” Lee Soo Man asked, and I opened my mouth to speak.

“Yes. EXO K had a short introduction with Lee Sora, before the press conference sir.” Joon Myun smiled. He was so princely. He was kind of like my Siwon Oppa. I couldn’t help but smile slightly. I hope they don’t miss me too much. I’m so vain, it’s surreal. “It’s nice to meet you again Sora-sshi.” He bowed.

“As it is for me Joon Myun-sshi.” I blushed, unused to the over politeness he was giving me. Nice and all, but not used to it. I turned to the chairman expectantly.

“EXO M.” he waved a hand towards the last six. I recognised Yixing and Lu Han. “Leader, Kris. Xiumin, Lu Han, Chen, Lay, Tao.” He said, and each named person did a little bow. Lu Han did a little heart over his head, and I was amazed by his cuteness. Same with Xiumin, I just wanted to pinch his cheeks! I couldn’t stop myself from staring at EXO M, anything that would keep my gaze away from… Jongin. “I plan on leaving you thirteen for a better interaction. Lee Sora is now a publicly known member of the SM family. I suggest the twelve of you boys, treat her well.”

“Yes Sir!” they all chorused, doing a little salute, and I was shimmied out of the office.

“Where do we go now?”

“Let’s go to the lounge place!” the adorable Sehun chirped, his arm wrapped around the waist of Lu Han. Cute. He did a little skip, and brought Lu Han with him.

“Yeah, to the lounge.” Joon Myun decided, with a smile. Who taught this guy to be so polite?! I struggled to grin, and just followed the rest. This place was still a long wounding maze to me, and I hated it. “Are you okay Sora-sshi?”Joon Myun placed his hand on my arm, and I jumped. Did he see my grimace?

“Fine, I’m fine.” I dismissed him, with a smile. From the corner of my eye, I saw Jongin stare at me. His head was tilted to the side, and he was being nudged by someone. So many people were surrounding me! I followed the twelve who had started chatting about something, and occasionally speaking to Joon Myun, I knew that Jung Soo knew him. Wasn’t he one of SM’s golden boys or something? Well, he could certainly. With looks, manners and a personality like his, why shouldn’t he be SM’s golden boy?

My thoughts were wandering again, and I was brought to a familiar room, spread with bean bags, and soft soft sofas. There was a large TV on the wall, like seriously. It was huge. So large, it gave off the cinema feel. Except because of the many sofas, you felt more luxurious. I gasped, and threw myself onto one of the bright blue sofas, close by the TV.

The sofas were softer than they looked, and I couldn’t help but be even happier.

Next to me Jongin sat, and I felt his stare. He opened his mouth to speak, quickly turning his head, as if to scan the room, when he sighed. He stood up tall, and then bent to meet my gaze. I immediately turned away, with hot cheeks. His face was so close to mine. His face was too close to mine. It was too close for comfort.

“I… I would like to talk to you in private, Lee Sora.” He mused, his voice, even at such a close distance to my ear, I could barely hear it. “I… believe… we can make amends?” he sounded hurt, his voice was still low and I wondered then if he felt apologetic for anything. I felt bad then, because… I don’t remember him having to apologise for anything.

I furrowed by eyebrows, as I sat up properly. He continued to look at me, his gaze like-like- a puppy. He looked like a very hurt puppy. And I swear I felt my heart strings snap, I just wanted to pull him into a back breaking cuddle because of the look he was giving me! I felt my bottom lip quiver, and I nodded.

He brought me to the vacated area of the room, and I felt all eyes on us. I hid my grimace, and simply glanced at him, shrugging off the stares, and murmurs on the other side of the room, where the TV was.

“I-I would like… to apologise.” He said, softly. “I-I feel, that we had the potential to be friends, and I feel, that by my bad misunderstandings of images seen on the internet, and my reaction towards that, I feel I should apologise.”

He stared at his feet, as he sat next to me, on a bright pink sofa. He looked back at me, and I smiled. “It’s fine, maybe my reaction towards it wasn’t the best either.” I added, patting him on the back gingerly.

And just like that, his sad puppy expression brightened, and he smiled widely, baring his perfect set of white teeth. I could feel something in my chest lighten and something in my stomach flutter as he grinned happily, and clapped his hands, his eyes becoming crescent. He jumped in his seat happily, and grabbed my hand, replacing ourselves back on the two leftover bean bags.

EXO and I were sat in a circle, and I felt at ease.

The Taemin look-a-like wasn’t so bad after all. 

I found out something today.

Someone accused me of plagiarism! How dare thee.
