It's been almost 2 months as Chun Hua and I distanced ourselves from the idol world. Ever since the grocery shopping with Suho and Baekhyun, she and I decided to lay low for a while until everything goes back to normal or as much normal as it can be. It was hard. People approach you like you are someone different from them when it's never the case. I find it hard to lie to everyone that Luhan is actually my brother when he’s not. And the fact that I’ve been given attention because of that makes me sick to the stomach. It's hard to pretend to be someone that you're not.

Now that the attention has been lessened because of EXO’s comeback for wolf, I feel more relaxed and am able to breathe. I can't imagine myself being in their shoes. Having people follow them almost 24/7, I cringed at the thought. Their comeback was really good, for being gone for more than a year; it was a massive of feels explosion for everyone even for myself. Of course, I kept on waiting for the story mv in which the rumoured kiss of Luhan and the girl is present, but it never came because of some fans revolting about it.

As a fake relative of Luhan, I felt privileged every time I get an invite to where they’re going, like to music bank, music core, mnet and such. But I turned them all down for good reasons. Honestly, I really wanted to take advantage of it. But the fact that we are supposed to be laying-low wins every rationalization that I have.

I'm thankful that everything seems to be normal now. I get to go back to stalking them only through the internet, I get to focus on my work more rather than thinking of everything that they do that I know, minus a few number of people that stares at you because they recognize you from the news, yeap. This is the best normal situation that it can end up to.

I glanced at the clock on my work desk and prepared to leave. My shift is over. I smiled to myself. The me a few months ago back in Beijing wouldn’t be happy about this. Having a family that is as complicated as hell, I would prefer work over home. But now that I'm away from it, it's different. I think my boss prayed hard for it.

I walked out of the company building and my eyes unconsciously looked for someone who I know isn’t there. I sighed and walked my way home. I don’t know what happened but he just stopped. Maybe he’s just busy. My mind comforted me but my heart couldn’t really bear but to be anxious. Did I do something wrong? Did he get tired already? Those are the questions that kept on ringing inside of me whenever I'm alone and not doing anything. I miss him already but there’s nothing I can do about it.

When I opened the apartment door, I expected to see no one; and so, I jumped out of fright when I saw someone sitting by the sofa, watching TV.

“Hey mom.” I greeted awkwardly, still trying to calm down. “You don’t have school?”

“Xin!” Chun Hua exclaimed happily as soon as she heard me and run to me, stopping to my front. “I have great news!” She smiled widely.

“What is it?” My eyes widened.

“Tadah!!!!” She presented 2 VIP ID’s.

“What is this?” I asked innocently. “I'm not aware of anything that is going on at the moment.”

She frowned but changed into a smile again. “This is...” she slowly said. “THE VIP PASS FOR EXO’S CONCERT IN HONGKONG!!!!” she announced ear-damagingly that I had to move my head away backwards a little. “Look~! It even has our names on it~!!!” she pointed the said names located at the center of the pass.

My mouth dropped open. “What? How did you get that? When is it?”

Chun Hua lifted her chin up in a proud action. “I got them from the one and only. And it's in a week’s time! July 1! The Hong Kong Dome festival!”

“...what???” I squeaked.

“You heard me~” She danced. “Oh yeah. We’re going to see them live and it's in Hong Kong!”

“B-but what about school? My work?”

“I can handle school.” Chun Hua flapped her hands in dismissal. “I'm just worried about my attendance.” She then pointed a finger at me.“You on the other hand, should file a leave by tomorrow.”

“What? I can't. We can't. Remember? We’re laying low.”

She scrunched her nose. “Lay low. You’ve got to be kidding me!” she whined. “Come on, Xin. Let’s go~! Besides, it's about time that the both of us would be seen with them now that the news is out. Not the other way around; and we’ve been laying low for months! Even my classmates in school doesn’t bother me about it anymore.” she fretted. “I want to see my bias!”

“Okay okay.” I nodded, agreeing. “I think I can't file a leave from work though... Hong Kong you say?”

Chun Hua nodded. “Why can't you?”

“I just got back from work...remember?” I told her. “But I can be sick on that day...” I suggested to myself.

“Sick days it is then.” She finalized.

“Day.” I emphasized. “I think Seoul, to Hong Kong doesn’t take that long of a flight.”

Chun Hua pouted. “But, don’t you want to leave with EXO? They’ll be leaving a couple of days before to practice.”

“Afraid not.” I told her. “My workload is still piling up.”

“Well, can we go very early at least? –for us to roam around, shop, or something.” She suggested. “It is Hong Kong, you know?” she reminded me. “Remember my story that I told you when I was there?”

“Oh yesss~!” My eyes sparked excitedly. “Haha. This is going to be fun. Let’s go shopping mom.”

“Of course.” She immediately agreed.

Even when we already boarded the plane, I still couldn’t decide. Would Chun Hua want to stay a little bit longer? I asked myself internally but I can never answer it myself. I slept the whole trip through to catch up to my sleep and in time arrived, there was only excitement. We first went on to find lodgings and found a good one for a considerable price. We just left our things there and we walked around for window shopping as well as finding places to eat. All were expensive but I couldn’t care less. This is the good thing of having a job—you're stable. The best thing in the activity is checking out handsome guys as secretly as we could.

A bit distracted, we nearly forgot about the concert starting after lunch. EXO will perform in a few and so, we hurried our way to the place to wish them luck for their performance. Even though it was very windy, it didn’t stop us from coming.

By the time we arrived, I was in the middle of catching my breath but continued on walking to where the guys are waiting for their turn to perform thanks to the VIP ID’s we got there.

“Hi.” I greeted, hands on my knees still trying to keep up with my breathing and silently thanking God that we finally stopped running.

“Noona! You came!” Kai exclaimed, his eyes sparkling for the two of us.

I nodded, smiling and standing up straight.

“Yeah.” Chun Hua said rubbing her bare hands from the cold and hopping a little on her feet. “We’re here to wish you luck.” She announced. “Especially to you, Chanyeol~!!!” She made her voice louder enough for Chanyeol to hear from the distant. “And you too, Kyungsoo~!!” She followed up. Happy with herself, she smiled at Kai, the only one who noticed the two of us. “Fighting Kai!” She cheered after a moment, doing high five with him

I on the other hand had just recovered that's why I was so quiet. “Do your best, Kai.” I patted him on his shoulder.

“Oh.” Xiumin popped in half-surprised in the middle of nowhere. “Hi.”

“Oppa. Good luck on your performance today~!”

“Thank you, Xin.” Xiumin smiled, I was mesmerized at how cute he is but my attention was caught with something else when he said, “Luhan had just recovered from his cold. But because of the weather, I think it will be back soon enough.”

“Ah...” I nodded unconsciously, thinking of Luhan. “Where is he?”

“Comfort room.” Chen cut in; one of his arms hooked me by the neck. “Hi, Xin. You guys enjoying Hong Kong so far?”

“Yes, of course.” I grinned. “Will you guys staying for a little while after this?”

“Yeah.” He nodded. “We’re going to stay for a party. You should come with us.” He said.

“You and Chun Hua.” Baekhyun added. They seem to just pop out of nowhere. It makes me surprised but I can't even react because of the flow of the conversation.“We’re just going to have a little party before we go back in the morning.”

I laughed awkwardly. “I don’t know...” I rubbed the back of my neck. “I think Chun Hua is okay with it because her class is later... but for me...” I stopped. I don’t really know how to say it when it comes to them.

“You should go with us. It's just going to be a short one. Just a lil bonding time with brothers.” Chen winked.

“That settles it then.” Baekhyun clapped his hands. “And we can all go back in the morning.”

I just smiled at them. “Okay then. If you say so.”

Xiumin clapped his hands and went off to somewhere. That reminds me, where is Chun Hua? I looked from my surroundings and she’s not anywhere near me. Did she gone off to see Chanyeol?

“Oh... you're here.” Luhan got out from what I guess would be the restroom. His nose is a little red from his cold but it's not that noticeable.

“Yeah.” I nodded with a small smile. “How’ve you been?”

“Cold seems to like me so much these days.” He answered, sniffing lightly.

“Did you take medicine?” I asked. “Take plenty of rest...”

He nodded but his eyes were looking at me a bit differently. “Are you sleeping well?”

 I blushed at the question.

“Hey, hey hey...” Chen and Baekhyun both said in unison. “Hyung, that's a bit...” Baekhyun didn’t finish his words but he just shook his head clicking his tongue.

Luhan smiled, getting what Baekhyun was saying and teasingly smacked Baekhyun’s head. “Yah. Don’t start with that.” he scolded to him and turned to Chen. “And you, Jongdae. Get your hands off her.”

Chen pouted. “You are one over-protective ‘brother’.” He stated, emphasizing on the last word as he did what he was told. Baekhyun hooked his arms with Chen as they started to flee the scene but before that, Chen turned his head toward me. “Oh, see you later at the party, Xin.” He waved his hand goodbye.

Luhan sighed and I turned to him. He leaned on the wall and I just stared at him. His mouth opened to say something but he was cut when Sehun’s voice was heard. I turned at that direction.

“Exo! Let’s gather up!” Sehun announced, he was walking everywhere for the members to hear him. He looks like the leader but I just find him adorable with his clothes and his hair. He stopped when he saw us and raised his hand. “Hyung!” he called to Luhan and signalled him to come. “Hi, noona.” He greeted me after.

I just smiled at him in response and waved my hand a little.

“Wish me luck.” Luhan murmured, moving to walk to Sehun.

“Good luck.” I told him, in a semi-cheerful way.

After a few seconds, I see Chun Hua walk towards me. “How’s daddy?” I asked with pinched voice the moment she’s beside me and together, we walked out of the place to watch EXO perform.

“Oh, he’s fine.” She flapped her hands. “I was just telling him good luck and cheering him on.”

I nodded, smiling.

She eyed me. “How about son-in-law?”

“He has a cold.” I told her. “still.” I emphasized.

“Tsk tsk tsk.” Chun Hua shook her head. “You better take care of him. He just needs your love for him to get better you know.”

I grinned. This kind of is very relaxing and playful. But I can't do this in real life, can't I?

“Oh...” I got out of my thoughts when I remembered something. “Did you bring extra clothes?”

Chun Hua smirked. “Of course. Because right now, I am guessing that you changed your mind, right?”

I laughed. “How do you know that?”

“Of course.” She smiled proudly. “Mother’s knows best.”

“Okay, mom.” I put my arms around her shoulder.

“So, what are we going to do then? More shopping?” She asked.

I shook my head. “No... I got us invited to a party.”

Chun Hua’s mouth was open and when she knew what she was doing, she closed it. “You asked them?”

“No...” I frowned. “I was asked. I just didn’t know how to reject... when it comes to them.” I murmured.

“Who invited you, Luhan? My son-in-law?”

I smirked. “I wish.” I shook my head to answer her question. “Jongdae and Bacon.”

formed a small circle. “Oh well. More time with me and Chanyeol.” She chimed.

A few more steps and we can already see them starting to perform. I held my overcoat tighter for the cold wind and suddenly, I'm worried for the guys that they might get sick because of this bad of weather. I gasped when Kris nearly slipped coming out from the human tree when he performed MAMA. My worry kept on progressing as they performed but it all disappeared when they sang 365. They were smiling, playing, and having fun as they sang the song. They were everywhere in that stage all of a sudden. I couldn’t help but smile. They look like kids, just having fun with what is there. They are contented. They are happy.

Hello everyone~! Chapter 15 is up. I'm just happy that I was able to finish this chapter with a headache. Did you see their new music video? I cried ;-; who didnt? i got a headache after the crying but i dont mind. hihi.
