Awestruck

Upside Down

Amber couldn't help but think of all of the worst case scenarios. She knew that Sehun wasn't hurt, which gave her some reassurance, but now she was worried about the consequences that he would receive. He could get kicked out of school. She practically ran to the principal's office when Junmyeon stopped the car. She was panting by the time she reached the office. She quickly pulled her brother in a hug. "Are you hurt?" she blurted. 

He shook his head. "I'm okay." 

Amber nodded and turned to the principal. "I'm Sehun's legal guardian, Amber Liu." 

The man looked like he hated Sehun. "Yes, Ms. Liu, I remember. Sehun has punched this student," he gestured to the other boy in the room that Amber just realized that she didn't notice, "Park Minjoon, in the face." 

Amber looked at Sehun with a small glare. "I'm sure Sehun wouldn't have done it if he wasn't provoked; maybe Mr. Park Minjoon provoked him." 

"Nevertheless, he should not have hit him." the principal frowned. 

"I understand that it is wrong to hit, and I apologize. Sehun, apologize." she ordered. Sehun frowned, but mumbled his apology. 

"Sorry, I couldn't catch that," the other kid said smugly. Amber frowned, but nudged Sehun. Sehun said it louder this time, throwing the boy a glare. 

"Park, you're dismissed." the principal said. As soon as the boy left, the principal turned to Amber and Sehun. "Ms. Liu, I've been meaning to schedule a meeting with you about Sehun." Amber nodded. "You see, your brother has been ditching the last period of everyday. And on top of that, his hair color... it's not regulation here." 

Amber gave Sehun a look. "The last period of everyday, you say?" 

The man nodded. "Alright sir, I will get right on that. What is Sehun's punishment?" 

"He is to be suspended for 2 days. Ms. Liu, I don't think you understand what I am implying," he paused. She looked at him with expectant eyes. "If Mr. Oh has one more refraction, I'll have no choice but to expel him." 

Amber gasped, "I understand. I do not want Sehun expelled. I will talk to him, thank you." 

"Thank you, Ms. Liu." he said, shaking her hand. She dragged her brother out of the office. 

"Oh Sehun!" she whispered, "How dare you punch that boy! You're grounded for a month. No TV for a week!" 

Sehun shrugged. "Where's the taxi?" 

Amber frowned. "Sehun, this is serious!" He ignored her and walked towards the parking lot. "It's my boss who drove me." she stated as he lead him to the BMW. She opened the door and pushed him in the car. He didn't notice the other presence in the car. "Sehun, why did you punch that kid?" 

"I didn't like his face." 

"Don't lie to me, Sehun." Amber threatened. 

"I told you! I don't like his face, so I punched him!" 

"Sehun, you and I both know you're too lazy to punch someone just because you didn't like their face." 

Sehun pulled at his hair in frustration. "FINE! He made fun of us! He made fun of me for being poor, but I didn't care. But then he said you were probably on the streets offering for money! He called you a ing e and that doesn't fly with me! So I punched his sorry face and kicked his balls. I would have killed him if someone didn't pull me off." 

Amber hugged him, "Sehun..." she coughed. "Don't ever stick up for me like that. Don't get in trouble because of me." 

"I'm sorry, noona." he apologized, 

"It's okay." she said, kissing his cheek. "Now, what's this about skipping the last period. You don't get home until 5 because you said you have extra studying." 

He frowned. "Looks like I got caught,.. I work at a convenient store from 1-5." 

"Sehun, I told you that you don't have to worry about working because I'll do that. All you have to do is go to school and be yourself." 

"Noona, I couldn't let you suffer with everything. I wanted to help pay the bills." 

"Sehun, I'm your legal guardian; it's my job to worry about that, not yours. I'm begging you, just focus on school and just be a teenager." 

He sighed, "Okay noona." 

"Um, excuse me, could you pull your foot off mine?" a voice said. Sehun's eyes widened when he realized they weren't alone in the backseat. He lifted his foot and turned his head, only to be inches away from the hottest boy he had ever seen. "Uh... hi." the boy said in response to Sehun's staring. 

Sehun squealed and clung to his sister, embarrassed. Amber laughed, "Sehun, this is Tao. That's Kai in the passenger seat, and his brother, Junmyeon-sshi." 

Sehun lifted his head and Amber laughed. The poor kid was red from the tips of his ears to his cheeks. "Nice to meet you." 

Tao looked at the boy. "You punched a kid in the face?" Sehun nodded.

"Good job, man! I just saw a kid with a really bad black eye walk out." Kai complimented, reaching his fist out for Sehun to bump. 

"Jongin, don't encourage that," Junmyeon scolded. "Alright, Lay just texted me that Kris has been awake for a while, so let's go back to work. Amber is your brother coming with us?" 

Amber thought about it. If Sehun was at their apartment, she couldn't keep an eye on him. "Do you mind?" 

"No, today we don't have any schedule, we just have to help Kris with some things." 

"Kris Wu?" Sehun squealed. 

"Yes, Sehun, your favorite actor of all time." Amber chuckled. Tao frowned at this. 

"Let's go," Kai said. 


Kris frowned when he lost to Chanyeol at the Playstation for the 4th time. He heard the door opening and when he turned his head he found 5 people walking in. "You're awake!" Junmyeon cheered. "Now, let me introduce you. This is Amber Liu, your new assistant. Be nice." 

Kris grunted in response. "Did you make those pancakes?" 

Amber seemed startled. "Y-yes, sir." 

"I want more." 

"Kris, would it kill you to speak politely?" Junmyeon scolded. 

Amber stopped him. "It's okay, Junmyeon-sshi. I'll go work on those. Does anyone else want more pancakes?" she asked to the men that were still there. Yixing, Minseok and Chanyeol raised their hands. Tao, Jongin and Sehun raised their hands as well. 

She smiled and made her way to the kitchen. Junmyeon followed after her. Kris turned to look at Sehun. Sehun looked awestruck. "Who's the kid who looks like he ate way too many Skittles?" 

Kai laughed, "Hyung, this is Sehun. He's a big fan of yours. He's here because he got in trouble for punching a kid at school." 

Kris looked somewhat impressed. "You're my fan?" 

"Huge fan!" Sehun blurted. He quickly blushed and slammed his hand into his face in embarrassment. "I-I mean..." 

Kris couldn't help but be reminded of how cute Tao was, and smiled. "It's okay, I'm flattered." 

Kai was surprised Kris opened up so easily to the kid, but shrugged it off. Kris always had a thing for cute things. 

"Really Mr. Kris Wu?" Sehun asked. "I really am a fan! I'm dumbstruck that I can see you, let alone be in your house." 

Kris laughed as he ruffled Sehun's hair. "Don't freak, kid. Just call me hyung." 

Sehun smiled cutely and Kris had to prevent himself from hugging the kid. Kris offered the kid another controller and they played against Chanyeol. 

Finally, Kris beat Chanyeol. 

Soon, Amber called the boys in for pancakes. Kris entered first, with Jongin and Yixing hot on his tail. Kris sat down and took a large bite of his pancake, smilng blissfully and Amber blushed at how handsome he was. He turned to her and looked her in the eyes. "Make these everyday." 

"Y-yes, sir." 

Junmyeon rolled his eyes. "She's not your slave." 

"She's my assistant, Junmyeon. She's to do what I say. Read me my schedule for today." he ordered. 

Junmyeon frowned and handed her his schedule. "You have an interview with Section TV today, and it will be at a small restaurant in Gangnam." 

"What time?" 

"At 7, sir." 

"Cancel it." he ordered, 

"But, sir--" 

"Cancel it. I'm going to Tao's martial arts thing today." he ordered. 

"I'll reschedule it for tomorrow then," Amber said. 

"Whatever." 

Amber excused herself from the kitchen to get away from her source of annoyance and make the call to Section TV.

Chapter 4: Hate it that this kind of thing happens again in SM. Each one of them have gone through a lot from auditions, to casting, to being part of a group, to making their debut and making a name in Kpop imdustry. We could never judge anyone of them 'cause we do not really know what happened. Yes we can make our opinions, but we should also know our limits. EXO fans are hurt so as the members. We just have to stay strong and believe in these guys as how we believed in them when they started.
