Chapter 5
Just Keep Swimming (Old Version)Nicole was frozen. She knew she still has stains on her cheeks from started to cry, but she didn't dare move in case Donghae saw her. As much as she LOVES him, she can't help but just not move in front of him. It's like she look into Medusa's eyes and turned to stone. Her eyes locked onto him as he started to help Kai show Chanyeol and D.O the moves that they kept having problems with. Kai stood to the side and let the elder help out more because Donghae had a lot more experience doing choreography like this. Kris was seen lingering over on the side, only about three feet away from Nicole.
"You okay? Were you crying? What's wrong? Nicole?" Kris kept trying to get her attention. His eyes followed her gaze to Donghae. He let out a low chuckle, catching Donghae's attention.
"Oh, Kris, I didn't know you were here. Is that Chanyeol's friend next to you who keeps staring at me?" Donghae said with a light tone to his voice.
"Yeah. Sorry if she's freaking you out. She is a MAJOR fan. Just ask Chanyeol. She won't stop freaking out about you." Kris added. Donghae just laughed and gave Chanyeol and D.O a little rest while he went over to talk to Nicole. As he walked closer, Nicole started shaking a little bit more, making it seem like she wasn't dead anymore.
"Hello, I'm Donghae. And you are?" Donghae said in his most charming and polite voice, one that EXO had never heard before.
When Nicole reamined silent, Chanyeol answered for her.
"This is Nicole. Sorry hyung, I don't know why she's like this. Earlier she said she wants to have a conversation with you and not treat you like an idol, but like a person she wants to know. Guess she couldn't help herself.
As Donghae nodded in understanding, Nicole started to actually move a little. She repositioned herself, seeing as though she was not in a very comfortable position. She wiped her face of any extra tears that slipped and started to talk.
"S-sorry...I'm Nicole." She quietly said. Kris, who was still seated next to her, went on with asking his previously unanswered questions.
"Nicole, were you crying?" He said in English, hoping no one else would be able to understand and interfere because he was truly worried about her.
Nicole just slightly nodded and said, "Yeah. I was just thinking of Andy and how upset I was, yet Chanyeol comforted me. It was just a special memory that came up when I was looking through my iPod."
Kris nodded. "Okay, let's just hope your tears weren't secretly for that jerk. He doesn't deserve it."
"What did he do?" Donghae asked, surprising Kris and Nicole.
"You know English, hyung?!" Kris blurted.
"Yeah. Come on, after traveling to pretty much every single English speaking country for 9 years, having Siwon and Henry, and watching countless English movies, I'm pretty fluent in English. So Nicole, who is this jerk and what did he do?"
The other EXO members were shocked as well, yet brushed it off easily because they didn't understand anything.
"I...uh...it's a ridiculously long story. Maybe some other time when I wouldn't bore you to tears."
Donghae just lightly brushed it off and shook his head.
"Nope, how about we go get something to eat and you can tell me so I can know where to go and who to target for hurting such a wonderful person like you." He added a wink at the end that almost made Nicole faint.
