EXO 2030

Please Subscribe to read further chapters

Description

The year is 2030.

18 years after their debut, EXO is no longer active, nor relevant.

 

12 years ago, they all went their separate ways.

Now, Park Chanyeol makes it his mission to bring them all together again.

Foreword

Inspired by a fragment from "When Chanyeol read 10080".

 

Chanyeol was surprised he’d never thought of what it would be like after. After the fans had gone. After their albums had been demoted to the sales rack in the stores. After the management had dropped the group, after the press had forgotten about them.

Sure, they were tight now. They had a bond, and it was real. But Chanyeol realized it was a bond forged under pressure.

What would happen if the pressure fell away?

Words can't describe the feelings I have when I come back to these books... The nostalgia of my youth and childhood spent with all these stories... people I kept wishing for seemed a lil closer to me through these books..Thank you again Horramata.

I just realised that this is probably the only story on aff which was featured without even being finished. I have read it still I keep coming back here. Maybe no one else ever comes here. Maybe one day, I'll also forget. Maybe I'll too move on but before that happens I would have loved to have even just a short message orupdate about your whereabouts. You're really an amazing writer and I would love to you listen from you. (•‿•)

Chapter 9: At last I completed this book - as much as you have written it- author. To be honest, the way you imagined all those background stories of those events whose glimpse were only visible to us in real life, brought tears in my eyes. For example that incident, which happened in real life, in which suho alone represented s and your way of putting those pieces together of what might have happened behind those close doors made me feel an immense pain. Sometimes I wonder if things like this really happened ? If they really went through all these things ? Things were bad when 3 members left the group, things are worse now when situations - like never imagined before - have evolved. There is no answer as to when will be EXO together again ? Will they even renew their contracts with the company and stay in the same group or if more members will leave ? But amidst all I hope they all are happy always. I hope they find a way out of their complications. Sometimes I wonder how would it have been if things would have been different ?
Thank you, author.
Good night

Chapter 2: It's September, 2021.
I again searched this book.
Do it almost everyday now.
I open it everyday and try to read it, but then I stop.
I stop every single freaking time.
How hard it was for me to read chapter 1, only I know.
But I don't have the courage to read the remaining part.
I really wanna read it so badly but I just can't.
Everytime that I read those forewords, I just can't handle my feelings.
It's so hard to read this book.
Now that I'm writing this comment under chapter 2, I still haven't read it.
I hope one day I'll have courage to read it.
And I hope it won't be too late by then.

Hello Authornim !!
It's August,2021
It's been long since you last updated the book. I wonder where you are and what you are up to ? I hope you, your family members, friends and loved ones had been safe in this period of pandemic. The virus is not completely gone yet but still the ray of hope that soon everything will be over is shining above us. In the past few years there had been drastic changes in not only in my life but in everyone's life. Over the past years, as I have grown and am in the final years of my teenage life, I can't stop but recall how my teenage started and my amazing, tiring, lovely and angsty journey through it. I recall how I met EXO in my final year of middle school and how it's been already 4-5 years with them. God ! Time passed so fast !
Dear author, a lot have changed in the past. I'm pursuing my studies in Medical field to become a doctor. It's sometimes hard but EXO gave me inspiration and motivation through it all. Recently I found this book of yours about EXO in 2030. I have not read it fully yet because truely speaking whenever I just complete a paragraph, I just start crying. It's really hard to read it and that warning about character death is something I can't seem to forget and it halts me from completing the book.
It's 2021, EXO have been through a lot. Now that I see back, I think we have been through things that I never thought I would see in this lifetime.
Exo's newest album 'Don't Fight The Feeling' made fans happy to see them again together after almost 18 months. Many of us cried and were taken back to our Neverland by our Peterpans.
Baekhyun, Suho are in the military, serving their country and making Exo-ls proud. Chanyeol was falsely accused of cheating and it left a deep wound on him, he's too in military. Chen has been happily married and has a beautiful daughter. At first, some people were mad but true EXO-ls stick to his side forever. I'm so happy for him and his family. Xiumin came back from military but nowadays is covid positive. I hope he recovers soon. All exo-ls are praying for his health. Kyungsoo came back from military and released his first solo album. It's an amazing album and he's too busy with his tv drama shootings and movies. Kai too released his solo album and was appreciated a lot. Sehun and Kai are the only ones left to enlist. Both of them are busy with their own tv shows and acting career. Lay was a part of EXO's newest album 'Don't Fight The Feeling'. Exo-ls are too happy to see him with other members again. Luhan, Tao and Kris have left the group. All the former members met each other on a chinese trainee show and shared their past and stories together. Luhan is doing great in China and his relationship with his girlfriend Guan Xaiotong is going strong. Tao has been doing dramas and singing a lot of songs. His drama 'The brightest star in the sky' made him more popular with his great acting skills. Kris was doing good too but something utterly unfortunate and unbelievable happened. He's detained by police on allegations. No one knows the truth yet but it has affected his career a lot. I'm not taking anyone's side until the whole truth is out. I'm disappointed but have decided to go with the flow. If Kris turns out guilty, I will whole heartedly try to move on from him and accept the truth.
So all in all, many good and heartbreaking things have happened. I hope everything will be resolved soon but I'll always take the side of truth. I hope God will not do injustice to anyone.
I hope EXO will be strong.
Authornim, Keep a good health and live the best life you can because we only get one chance to live and I want everyone to utilise this chance precisely.
I wish you happiness and lots of love authornim, and I'll try my best to finish the book.

With regards and affection,
Ekale_erie.
