Past

Summer Interpreter

As soon as we looked at the group we started laughing. Baek was literally dragged by my best friend. Chanyeol was running behind them shouting “Baekkie is mine!”.  Further down there was Kris face palming himself begging “Yeol stop shouting. People are staring”. Tao was trying to calm him down. Rest boys followed with a smiles and giggles apart of Sehun who had his “unimpressed and bored” expression, favourite one between fans.

-          What have you been doing? – Chen asked smirking – have you been naughty?

He earned a little hit from Xiumin and then slowly rubbed his head.

-          Hyuuung  -he whined.

Luhan laughed and looked at Suho who seemed to be in deep thought.

 -What shall we do next? – Leader asked

 - Food – shouted Xiumin

  - Dance? – asked Kai and started some kind of strange choreography with Lay.

Kris had now head in his hands.

-          Why? I am asking why me? – he murmured and look into the sky.

-          Because you are a duizzang – said proudly Panda boy.

Me and Lulu were giggling. People that have been walking around with little kids were shooting us glares. I swear they thought we are probably from some mental institution. I bet their opinion didn’t change when they noticed Chen currently on Xiumins back pretending he was riding a horse.

“ They are very popular idols” I was chanting to myself and then burst out laughing. Luhan discreetly was touching my hand. I tried to look like nothing was going on and it wasn’t that hard between all that chaos.

My phone rand and I stood up to pick it up.

-          Hi Dad – I said to the phone.    – How are you?

-          We are fine sweetie – he replied. – How is your summer job, still fun?

-          Yes dad – I looked at the boys – very.

-          When are you coming to Poland?

-          How do you know? I don’t think I mentioned that before – I replied.

-          I talked to that nice boyfriend of yours Chen. But you could teach him some more English you know? My Korean is not that good.

-          You talked to Chen? An dad, he is not my boyfriend – I    will…. Kill….him….

-           Ah yea, he said he is friend of your boyfriend or something like that. Never mind. Just let us know when you will arrive. And take your boyfriend too. It would be nice to meet him. I need to go now. Kisses from mum.

He hung up. I stood there shocked and annoyed.

-          Chen….? – I asked.

I think he knew who I was talking to since he was trying to hide behind Tao. But Panda Boy was totally uninterested in what’s going on as he was currently trying to convince Kris for another shopping trip.

-          Chen chen…. Come here – I smiled and started moving towards him.

-          Yah Lulu hyung, calm down your girlfriend…. – he started to run.

-          Yah! – I wanted to run after him but Suho stopped me.

-          Relax he could do better in his jokes – he winked.

I sighed. I secretly hoped that Chen wasn’t as he was described all over internet. But I guess they haven’t been all fans imagination.

-          Lat’s go eat – I said and in this very moment everyone stop doing. It’s like they have been frozen for a moment. They all heads turned towards me and there was loud cheer like they just won an international award.

-          Well that was easy – said Kris as we all started to walking towards small restaurant/cafe. They didn’t have loads of choices of food. Boys decided to get pizza as it was the only thing they new pretty well. Kris had to translate all toppings.

I sat between Lay and Xiumin. Chanyeol eyes were glistering while he was waiting for food. He looked like a beast expecting a pray. I pulled out my mobile and took a photo.

-          Yah! No photo’s noona – he said.

-          Why not? – I laughed.

-          It’s expensive – he winked.

-          I know , - I responded  - I will post all mean pictures on your website – I giggled.

-          No noona – said Sehun – that what Chen is doing in free time.  

We had our food and we took our way back. Luhan was sleeping quietly on the way back. He looked like a baby. Kris was currently reading something online and giggling to himself. It was probably either some spicy fanfiction or cute comment about how good looking he was.

D.O was sitting quietly on the other side of me singing quietly “Open arms” I really loved this song. It had so much emotion, especially when he was singing that. I found myself drifting of to sleep.

 - Noona  - it was Sehun – you squeezing Luhan hyung….

What? When? – I asked looking around.

Everyone laughed. My friend already left as she didn’t want to wake me up… What a bad friend, leave without goodbye. Apparently we already arrived and it was time to move towards the dorms. I was literally hugging Luhan while he was grinning at me. I quickly removed my hands, pretty embarrassed. We went back to the dorms and take a sit on the floor. I was getting used to being on the floor since Exo had so many members it was hard to find anything to sit on. One of the older’s managers just murmured something about going out, meeting, phone call and disappeared. The younger one followed behind him. One whispered something to Kris.

-          I am guessing we are staying in hyung? – Tao asked Kris.

-          Yeah , manager asked us to do so, since tomorrow we start our schedule here. We need o rest.

-          Can we at least play something or watch? – Tao whined.

-          I have an idea – said Chen. – lets talk to our fans on chat. Like we used to. You know when we have all those crazy nicknames and can just play around.

-          You mean you talking to fans? – I asked confused.

-          Well kind of  - Yeol smirked.  – We like to log in and pretend to be someone else. It’s fun.

-          I am out – said Kris – I will go have a shower.

-          Going with you – said Tao and followed him to the bathroom.

I guess it was still quite hard for me to understand how they could shower together. I sat down only for a minute when my phone started ringing. I managed to grab it before no one else did. There was no caller ID and it seemed strange  but I was thinking it’s one of those sales calls you are getting from endless companies. I sighed before answered.

 -Hello – I said firmly, ready to attack the caller with “I have no time right now”.

 - Hello? Ash? Honey?

I frozen. I looked at the screen one more time to check if that was some sort of stupid joke. No number.

-          Everything ok?  - ask Suho. I could see in the corner of my eye than other boys were watching me. I only nodded my head before putting headset back to my ear.

-          Ash? Are you there? – this voice… I couldn’t believe.

-          What do you want – I finally hissed..

-          I missed you – said voice at the end of line.

-          Don’t bul me – it was first time in long time I swore really.

-          I really did. That’s why I am calling. I want to take you out….

-          You kidding me now right? – I said . it was statement not a question from my point of you. How dare he.

-          I know you still love me. I saw your best friend. We talked an all – he said.

-          Let me think about it…. NO – I shouted.  – Why would I? You left me without the world. You just were gone. I was worried and then I saw you. I did see you with her, two weeks after looking into hospitals and police stations.

-          She is not important anymore – he said.

-          You are not important to me – I hissed and hung up.  – Su Oppa, I am going out for a bit. Please take care of kids.

-          Do you want to talk – he stopped me. 

–  No but thank you.

I gave him weak smile and left. I needed air. It wasn’t late yet at all. Sun just was going down. There was a bit chilled wind as usual in England. I was angry. How did he dare to call me. As soon as I left my phone rang again and I turned it off. I didn’t go far. I literally crossed the road and sat down on a little piece of grass under the tree. It was probably someone’s property as it was directly next to a building but I didn’t care. I needed to calm down.

James used to be a person I trusted. I thought it was that one time experience. The funniest think it’s not like a caught him in bed with someone else. I think if that would happen it would be easier for me to move on.

But no. We were together for over a year. I introduced him to my parents and all. Then suddenly one day he stopped responding to my calls, his phone was not on anymore. I was sickly worried. I would ask everyone, but nobody had seen him. I got scared, I cried. Don’t get me wrong I didn’t need to hear from him everyday. But for two weeks he just vanished. And then I went to Birmingham. I saw him randomly while getting coffee with my friends. It was moment I was crying for him when he passed me hand in hand with a dark haired girl. That was a day I tried to forget. And I eventually moved on I think. Now, after 6 months he thinks he can call me and pretend like nothing happened.

I sighed. I wasn’t crying or anything. I was angry and a bit shocked.

I sighed and rubbed my arms. It was getting later and a bit more cold. I sat down there thinking what would happen if he wouldn’t disappear. It was just then when someone put blanket over my shoulders. I looked up to see very tall figure hovering above me. It was him, once again like a gentleman coming to my side.

-          Mind if I sit? – Kris asked.

It was second time when we were like that. Second time when he just simply sat next to me. Third time when he supported me with his presence.

-          I don’t want to talk about it – I said trying to stay calm.

-          I am not asking you to. We all have a secrets. I thought you will be cold and since it’s nice here and I need a break from Tao’s love I thought I will keep you company.

-          You know – I said carefully – under that cold face of yours there is warmth radiating.

He raised his brew slightly.

-          Don’t tell anyone – he smiled.

Something Kris was surprising. He often seemed cold and collected but then he had that moment when he played like a kid with Tao or took care of him. And then there were moment like this, when he would simply sat next to me, not forcing me to talk when he knew I didn’t want to.

-          Thank you – I said snuggling to the blanket.

He was shivering bit so I moved closer. Blanket was big enough to cover as both. I put plushy thing on his shoulders and just looked up. He did the same. There was no need for words. In times like that I could see one he was so adored by fans. But then did they really knew that side of him.

James wasn’t the annoyance point of mine any longer. I calmed down. I was happy how things turned out after he left. I met twelve crazy people. Any kpop fan would die to meet them. And I was here talking to them every day, watching them being silly. It was one of a lifetime summer adventure. When Exo came to my life I thought of them as brats and there I was now, sitting next to one of leaders whose presence could calm me down within seconds. I was growing fond of them, and to be true to myself, I liked it.
