Walking onto the plane, I sat down next to Sulli who was eagerly bouncing up and down. “Calm down will you?” I asked pulling out my phone.

“I can’t!” she said in her high pitched voice.

I sighed grabbing my headphones out of my bag to place in my ears. Before I hit play, I suddenly remember something. “Thanks for paying for my trip,” I said to Sulli with a smile.

“No problem! I wouldn’t want you to miss out,” she said smiling back. I then placed the headphones into my ears to listen to my phone’s music.

Sulli, being the wonderful person she is, paid for all of my expenses for this trip due to the lack of money I have. The most I can afford at the time is paying for school and my ty apartment. I worked but it never was enough money. Sulli had taken note to my lack of cash when she came over to my apartment one day and when the trip was announced, she quickly wrote a check out to me without me saying anything. To me, I truly did live the life of a ‘peasant’ as Chen would say.

My phone began vibrating causing me to snap my eyes open. I looked on the front screen before unlocking it to see who the unknown number was.

From Unknown: Hey peasant

I rolled my eyes knowing that it was none other than Chen.

To Unknown: How’d you get my number?

I replied back wonder who gave it up. I then went to my contacts and saved his number.

From Chen: Took it from Sulli’s phone

To Chen: Why?

From Chen: Just wanted to remind you that I hate you.

I rolled my eyes again and placed my phone down not bothering to reply back. Now that he had my number, I could tell that my phone wasn’t going to be filled with the happy messages I usually get.

After a song passed, my phone caught my attention once again.

From Chen: Why aren’t you responding peasant?

I ignored it yet again closing my eyes to sleep.

 

 

 

 

“Nara!” Sulli yelled shaking me awake.

I mumbled a curse and opened my eyes. “What?” I asked not wanting to actually wake up.

“We’re here!” she yelled at me.

Knowing that I had to get off of the plane, I forced my eyes open becoming aware of the world again.

After going through security and getting my bags, our film production class met up near the exiting doors. “You all have your room numbers for the hotel as I gave them to you earlier,” the teacher said. “I will see you all tomorrow at the filming studio.”

Once the teacher walked away, everyone stood there chatting to one another until the twelve members, a manager, and a security guard walked over to us.

“Is that EXO?!” one of the females in the class exclaimed beginning to fangirl over the boys.

“Come on Sulli,” Baekhyun said taking her by the hand.

Chanyeol escorted Minhyuk while Chen came up to me. The girls in our class giggled and laughed at the twelve stunning guys while I rolled my eyes at the one standing in front of me.

“Why didn’t you answer my text messages?” Chen asked raising his voice at the end. The girls behind me began snickering about Chen actually talking to me of all people. Nothing unusual. The side comments are now starting again.

Ignoring them, I pulled out my phone to reveal over twenty missed messages. I looked up to the flustered Chen and raised my eyebrow at him. “Why in the hell did you text me so much knowing that I wouldn’t answer?”

He narrowed his eyes at me. “Because,” he began, “I like to annoy you.”

“Well I was asleep; sorry to disappoint you,” I said walking away from him to find Sulli.

 

 

 

 

 

“I feel really bad for having you pay for me,” I said as Sulli slipped money to the lady giving us our entrance stamps.

“It’s alright; I know you don’t have the money,” she said with a soft smiling collecting the change.

Sulli and I walked over to the rest of the boys who were waiting for us. “You’re seriously the best Sulli,” I said slinging an arm around her shoulder. To my pleasure, she nodded and led us to the thirteen men.

“Let’s go on that first!” Luhan exclaimed pointing to the nearest roller coaster. I didn’t know the name due to the fact that I’ve never actually been to Disney world, but it looked fun.

“Okay!” Sehun exclaimed.

By the time anyone could comprehend that Sehun had just agreed for all of them, Luhan took Sehun’s hand and ran towards the ride. One of the security guards that were escorting us ran after the two to scold them for removing themselves from their group into the sea of fans. Even if this was America, EXO was still known and loved.

All of us followed the eager couple right on their heels. We stood in line as Sehun and Luhan bounced up and down in excitement. The wait was going to be at least fifteen minutes so I sighed pulling out my phone. I went through my messages that Chen had left for me and laughed at his stupidity.

From Chen: Nara

From Chen: You’re gross

From Chen: You’re ugly

From Chen: Are you there?

From Chen: Are you ignoring me?

From Chen: That’s not fair answer me back you loser!

From Chen: Boo you !
 

A smile formed on my lips. Did he just quote Mean Girls?

 

From Chen: You’re really not going to answer?

From Chen: Come on I’m on a plane with nothing to do…. ANSWER BACK

From Chen: LEE NARA

From Chen: STOP BEING A

 

The last one made me chuckle harder. As I read through a few more with a smile on my face, I felt an annoying presence. I looked behind me to see that Chen was looking over my shoulder at what I was doing. His body was almost touching mine making me give him a confused look. “What?” I asked turning to face him.

“Did you seriously fall asleep or were you just ignoring me?” he asked crossing his arms furrowing his eyebrows at me.

“I fell asleep you pabo,” I said looking to the fan girls behind us. They weren’t in line but were staring at us behind the thin fence. They also were talking and taking pictures. Noticing the camera, I put my sunglasses back on and pulled my hood up.

“What are you doing?” Mr. pain in the asked me.

“Hiding from your fans,” I said shoving my hands into my pockets.  “They have cameras.”

Chen glanced to them and back to me. He now stood closer to me hiding me from their view.

“What are you doing?” I asked feeling his hand pressing my head to his chest.

“Shut up and just do it,” he said in an annoying tone.

His one hand was against the back of my head pressing it into his chest while his other placed onto my back. I reluctantly placed my hands around his waist burying my face into his chest. “Why are we doing this?” I asked still unsure of why he did the sudden action.

“Do you want your face hid or not?” he asked placing his chin onto my head.

“I do but you don’t have to do this,” I said slowly pulling away from him. He tightened his grip not releasing me.

“This will hide you better.”

I rolled my eyes even though he couldn’t see it. “Yeah and cause rumors of a girlfriend for you,” I said in a harsh tone.

“I don’t mind.”

I roughly pulled myself away from him. “I don’t want to be the so called girlfriend,” I said turning around to face away from him.

“I was just trying to help. The one time I’m nice to you I get spat at; thanks.”

“I don’t need you to be nice to me,” I said getting onto the roller coaster. It had finally become our turn causing a sudden spark of excitement in me. The spark disappeared as Chen took the seat next to me in the cart.

“Whatever,” he scoffed buckling in.

“Why are you in the same cart as me?” I asked with a disgusted face. “Get out!”

Chen stuck his tongue out at me. “Deal with it. I’m sticking around you all day.

I growled at the statement and looked foreword crossing my arms. “Why?” I sternly asked not glancing once to him.

“So I can annoy you.”

My eyes were wide as I got off of the first roller coaster. I had screamed the entire way and my eyes stung from the amount of air that blasted them. Baekhyun helped me out of the ride and through the exit.

“You okay?” he asked interlocking fingers with mine trudging ourselves to the next ride Luhan had spotted.

“Yeah,” I said in a whisper. Clearing my throat, I resaid my reply.

“Okay,” he said giving my hand a squeeze.

“Leave me alone!” I heard a familiar female say. Before I could look back, Nara sped walked to the front of the group passing me.

“No!” Chen said as he followed behind her nudging her and making annoying statements.

I sighed and rolled my eyes at the two. “I ship them,” Baekhyun said turning to me.

I laughed at his comment to only tell him that it will never happen. “Nara hates his guts and Chen's, well, Chen.”

Baekhyun pouted. “Still ship them though.”

“Can we get ice cream?!” Luhan exclaimed noticing the ice cream stand to our left.

Before anyone could answer, he dragged the poor Oh Sehun behind him to the stand.

“What will it be?” the ice cream man said after a five minute debate between everyone on what to get.

“What?” Luhan asked me not sure as to what the man had said. Luhan only spoke Korean and Chinese so I had to tell him that the guy wanted to know what he wanted.

Instead of the boys answering, I had to translate to the man telling him the orders. “Where are you all from?” the boy that looked no older than I was asked as he began scooping ice cream.

“Korea and China,” I said with a smile taking hold of the first ice cream handed out passing it to Suho oppa.

“Interesting! How do you know English?” he asked handing me a second cup. This time I passed it to Kris oppa.

“I actually grew up here on the East coast. Out of our whole group, only four of us know English.”

“I bet you’re the translator for the trip,” he said with a laugh handing me another one. Luhan took it out of my hand knowing immediately that it was his order.

“Seems like it,” I also said with a laugh.

“So are all of those girls behind you also on the trip?” he asked pointing to some fan girls trying to talk to EXO but failing due to the language barrier.

I chuckled at the stressed EXO. “Nope, they’re fans.”

The boy gave me a confused look as I handed another ice cream to Minhyuk. “Fans?”

“Oh,” I said realizing he didn’t know who they were. “They’re pop stars in Korea and China.”

The guy raised his eyebrows. “Really? That’s something you don’t hear every day.”

I laughed. This guy was pretty amusing for someone who worked in an amusement park filled with screaming kids. “Yeah, try dealing with the fans every day. It gets pretty tiring.”

He handed me the second last ice cream and Chen thankfully took it from me. “Are you famous considering you know them?”

His question caught me surprise as I took the very last ice cream from his hands being that it was mine. “I guess I sort of am,” I admitted pulling out my wallet. “I’m dating one of them so I guess that makes me publicized.”

“Are you only famous due to being the girlfriend of one of them? Or are you a pop star too?” he asked ringing up the prices.

“Just the girlfriend,” I said with a chuckle handing him the money.

“Ah,” he said accepting it. “Well enjoy your time back in America!”

“Thanks! Have a nice day!” I said taking my ice cream to walk back to EXO.

“Oppa saranghae!” one of the fans said.

“Kamsahamnida!” Chanyeol said stealing a bite of Minhyuk’s ice cream.

“Hey!” Minhyuk said stealing some of Chanyeol’s.

“Ready to go?” I asked them ignoring the glare of one of the fan girls. Although she most likely couldn’t understand my Korean, she knew that I was telling them to leave.

“Ne!” they all replied in unison getting up from the curb.

I began walking with them enjoying my ice cream and silence until bickering broke out.

“Get your own!” Nara yelled as she faced away from Chen.

“Let me have a bite!” Chen yelled back trying to get his way.

“No! You have your own!” Nara said moving away from him.

Chen wrapped his arm around her from behind to scoop up her ice cream. Succeeding, Chen held out his ice cream for Nara to take a bite.

Nara took a giant scoop of his eating it in one bite. Chen’s mouth hung wide as he noticed that half of his ice cream was now missing.

“That was too much!” he yelled at her eating hers.

“Whatever,” she simply replied eating her mint chocolate chip ice cream. As Chen’s spoon dug into her ice cream, she glared at him but let him do so since she did eat half of his.

My attention was pulled away from the two as I saw a spoon come into my vision. Baekhyun was holding his spoon of ice cream in my face waiting for me to open my mouth.

He fed me some of his as I did the same for him earning a few ‘awhs’ from the members.

 

 

 

 

The daylight left the park and nightfall came. All day, Luhan had chosen the rides dragging us all behind while Nara and Chen bickered bitterly. My day had went pretty well other than the fact that I had to buy food for all of them being that I was the only one willing to translate. Baekhyun had made my day enjoyable by sticking to my side and being cute.

“It’s too dark,” Chen complained earning a smack to the head form Nara.

“There’s lights you idiot,” she said sitting down on the edge of the fountain.

All of the fans had left and the park was going to close in an hour. “What do you guys want to do in the last hour?” I asked sitting next to Nara.

“Isn’t there a lightshow that happens at night?” Lay asked standing across from me.

My face lit up as I removed myself from the fountain. “Yeah! Let’s go!”

I lead the group to the water and sat down on the nearby grass. Everyone else did the same relieved to be sitting after a full day of nonstop walking. Luckily, the show hadn’t started yet and we actually were able to sit on a patch of grass.

Baekhyun pulled me into his lap allowing me to lay my head onto him. Once the show started, Disney music played and water began to shoot up in different colors.

I looked over to find that everyone was laying on everyone else. Luhan lied on Sehun, Tao on Kris, Kyungsoo on Kai, Lay and Xiumin on Suho, Minhyuk on Chanyeol, and Chen on Nara.

To my surprise, Nara was too busy watching the show to pay attention to Chen who laid his head in her lap. She lightly his hair unaware of what she was doing exactly. I had a feeling that Nara didn’t actually hate Chen and he was still her bias. I knew she would never admit to it but the two seemed to be a nice couple. Now if only they would stop ‘hating’ each other…

 

 

 

Driving back to the hotel, everyone was about asleep on each other. Baekhyun was asleep on my shoulder as I placed a kiss onto his forehead. I looked around to see that everyone besides myself was sleeping. Nara was even asleep… on Chen. They seriously looked adorable.

The boys trudged themselves into the hotel and into their rooms. I carried Nara on my back as she refused to wake up from her peaceful sleep.

“I can carry her,” Jongdae suggested already taking Nara off of my back.

“Thanks,” I said with a tired smile. “She’s in the room next to me.”

Chen nodded following me to our rooms. I pulled out the access card opening the door for him and myself telling him goodnight. Baekhyun and I made our way into our room changing into bed clothes.

“Hey Sulli,” Baekhyun said half awake. I turned my head to him noticing that I was the only one with bedclothes on. “Dress me?” he asked with a shy smile.

I rolled my eyes at him but did so placing a kiss on his lips when done. He smiled and hopped into bed. I turned off the light climbing into the bed with his snuggling close to his warmth. With his strong arms around me comforting me, I fell into a blissful sleep.
