Milan stepped back to the streets where she came from when she suddenly bumped into someone. “Ah, sorry!” She said as she turned to the man she bumped with. Their difference in height weren’t that big so she only raised her head a bit to see the man’s face. “It’s alright,” he smiled at you. “Did I hurt you anywhere?” She worriedly asked.

“I should ask you that. You seem to have a rough day, miss,” he said. Milan noticed he was actually cute and he had a familiar face. She can’t grasp on who he is though. The only clue she had was he was an idol, an idol belonging to some boy group from a company other than SM that she checks out whenever EXO takes too long to comeback.

“You seem to be familiar. Can I ask your name?” Milan said. “Oh, you must’ve heard of GOT7, right? I’m BamBam there, nice to meet you,” he offered his hand. “O-Oh,” Milan reacted, shaking his hand. “You surely might’ve heard of me, I’m the girl who pulled someone’s hair today and that issue spread like a virus,” Milan introduced herself. “Milan de Vega,” she stated.

“What happened to you? Though I just met you, you don’t look like a girl who can get that rowdy for no apparent reason.” With that, Milan scanned her appearance. Yes, she was really a wreck. “Sasaengs,” she shrugged. “But I’m sure idols like you get it rougher,” Milan answered. “Want to err… Get some coffee then? I can treat you,” BamBam asked. “Oh no thanks. I don’t drink coffee that much and the boys might be trying to find me already. But it was nice meeting you, BamBam-oppa,” Milan smiled at him.

“It was nice knowing you too, Milan-ah. If you want to, you can talk to me sometimes. From your appearance, I can guess you’re from the Philippines and you know the history between our countries,” he flashed a smile. “Yeah, we southeast Asians stick together. I’ll just call up your entertainment if I want to talk to you. A composer can’t be loyal to one label after all,” Milan said before going back to the direction where she came from.

Milan took a deep breath. She met Bambam after all. She’s the only reason why she started liking GOT7 since he was part of the eyeliner family. She touched the back of her neck, then the ends of her hair. “Aigooo… If EXO will scold me, I’ll be mature enough to accept it,” she said when she was already in front of the dorm’s door.

She took out the keys from her bag then unlocked the door, slowly turning its knob. “MIL-AH!” Tao suddenly sped up towards her and hugged her. “E-Eh?” Milan was flustered by the sudden tackle from one of her ‘older brothers’. “What’s up?” She asked as she patted Tao’s back. “I was really worried about you,” he said as he let go of her.

“Aw, and I thought you were awkward around girls,” Milan laughed a bit. “Where are the others?” Milan asked. “I just finished eating, want to come and join us?” Tao said. Before Milan could respond, Tao practically pulled her towards the dining room. Half of the boys were eating and half were watching TV. When they noticed Milan’s presence, Suho immediately confronted her.

“What’s with the article on the internet?” He asked. All the members turned their heads towards the teenage girl. “I was… umm…” Milan was lost for words right now. She didn’t know how to explain. It was easy when she explained it to BamBam but when it came to these boys, it was rather hard. “You know err…” She stumbled on her words.

“Let’s not be too serious on her,” KyungSoo said as he approached Milan and patted her back. It was easy for him since Milan was shorter than him. “She won’t be able to explain if we’re egging on her after all,” he said as he leads Milan to the couch, just beside Luhan. “Now, tell us, what did happen?” Luhan asked as he turned to her.

“Errmmm…” She said as she fiddled with her fingers. She grasped on her bonnet after that, hesitating to take it off. She closed her eyes tightly and slowly pulled it off. “This happened after that,” she whispered. She waited patiently for them to say something. She didn’t open her eyes. She didn’t want to see their reactions.

“Woah, the cut isn’t equal,” KyungSoo said as he held the ends of Milan’s hair. That made the members burst in laughter, including Milan. “Is that all you’ve got to say?” Kai said as he crossed his arms. “Could you explain this and that for us then?” Kris said as he sat down by the couch.

Milan tried elaborating what happened, without mentioning she was studying there. She said that she was simply teaching the students there. Then one student who was a sasaeng sabotaged her things and called her off. She continued that she had enough and so she pulled that student’s hair. After the day, the student cornered her with her posse and cut her hair.

“Woah, you’ve got it rough,” Sehun said as he slouched on the chair. “Who does she think she is?” Xiumin’s lips curved into a frown. “It’s alright. I’ll just…” Milan’s tears suddenly went out and she had a pained smile on her face. “I…” She couldn’t continue what she was saying, instead she covered .

“Mil-ah, you’re crying,” Tao said in his accented tone. “Oh am I?” She said as she wiped those tears. “As I was saying, I got used to it,” she smiled a bit. “If you were, then why are you crying now?” Kris frowned. “You should stop pretending, Mil-ah,” Luhan suddenly pulled her into a hug. It wasn’t actually something rash but something gentle.

He patted Milan’s back and whispered,” There, there. Your oppas are here for you.” Milan buried herself into Luhan’s chest. “Oppa, it’s just…” Chanyeol watched with a pained expression. Why didn’t he notice Milan was going through hardships? He was called her best friend but he couldn’t even notice that obvious thing. He hated himself for that but instead of showing it, he brought his guitar and went near Milan.

“Want to hear my latest song for the fans, Mil-ah?”
