The drive to the SM building was relatively short but your nerves were through the roof. You could handle the guys but their managers scared you. What if they saw through you and figured out that you knew the guys outside of this job? What if they thought you were terrible at your job? What if they were horrible to you? SM was a big company, surely they could replace you within the hour if they didn't like you. You spent the entire drive trying to calm yourself. Mr. Kim chose you for this job so clearly he thought you were capable enough to handle it. You just had to remain respectful and professional at all times and pray that the guys weren't going to mess with you. This job was too important to you, at the end of the day you did need it to keep living in Korea.

Once you arrived you headed to the reception desk and were provided with a pass and asked to wait for a staff member to come and collect you.  A short while later a man came to collect you and led you to the elevator. As the elevator went up, so did your anxiety. The man seemed to be able to tell you were nervous...you figured your fidgeting gave it away.
 

He gave you a small smile "Don't worry, they aren't half as scary as they seem. Just remember they are trying to protect their group. You thanked him and tried to shake out your nerves before you reached one of the top floors. The doors opened and you followed the man into a conference room. There were 3 managers sitting across from you, making you feel like you were on trial.  You sat down and after everyone greeted each other they went through their expectations, the rules (of which there were many), what you should expect, and schedules you were to go to (including a trip to the USA since they figured it would be easier to use you as the concert translator as well).  To some people the overload of information you were running through with them might be too overwhelming and cause stress but you liked structure when it came to your work so you were thankful to have solid goals and expectations. You also thought you were doing a rather good job of knowing who EXO were but not knowing much more about them after that. Two of the managers left to go and collect and prep the guys for your first official meeting while one manager stayed behind and discussed each member's personality, strengths, weaknesses, things to look out for and general background info that would make life easier for you. He then left you to read over everything again by yourself, telling you that the group would arrive in about an hour.

The rest of the day ran fairly smoothly. The guys arrived after an hour and were introduced to you. The all greeted you with sweet and professional smiles and bows, even Sehun, who usually mocked you over your height. They all say at the conference table and went through the schedules and what they were expected to learn. Seeing them like this was strange, they were quiet and attentive while their managers took turns speaking. After they went through everything you were asked to provide an outline for how you would teach. You relayed the plan that Junmyeon and you had come up with. You would be at SM building whenever EXO were and you would be available to teach whenever they needed you. Your only requirement was 3 - 4 hrs of sleep a day. It would not bother you if they just wanted to run in and go over one word or one sentence or if they wanted an in depth session, you were at their disposal.  You told them that you would have scheduled sessions at SM and would let the managers work out when those would be and for how long, then outside of official schedules you were in the same building as them so you were happy to go to the dorm or have them come down to you for unscheduled lessons. You were going to figure out where each member's skill level was at before adjusting lessons to suit their learning styles. When you finished Junmyeon spoke, first thanking you for your speech and promising that he and all of s would do their best. You caught Jongdae, Sehun & Baekhyun smirking at his words, but only for a moment since they probably didn't want to be scolded by their managers.

After the meeting you bid everyone farewell and headed home. The managers told you they would work out a schedule and email it through to you. Until then, you could plan lessons and be available for unscheduled lessons. You headed home feeling good about the day. You didn't freak out, you didn't mess up and call anyone by their real names and you successfully acted as though you had never met them.  Now that you were home you were trying to finalise the themes for each of their special lessons that you had planned. You'd set out proper lessons and teaching methods a few days ago but the special lessons were taking more of your time. Staring down at your notebook you reach the scenarios back to yourself again to see what you should change or get rid of.

Suho - Done

Chen - Lyrics. Get him to reword a song with the speeches, then he can sing the melody but with the speeches. This will make the speech stick in his mind easily.

Kai - Teach the speeches to go with dance, give the words actions that he can run over in his mind.

Chanyeol - Music or animals. Get him to put the words to the speeches to song to help it stick as well as make it easier to learn. Probably not animals...he'll get too distracted.

D O - Food or movies. Either make a recipe and put all parts of the speeches in it or make up a mock script for a short film and place the speeches in it.

Baekhyun -  Games, teach the speeches as part of a game. The speeches can form parts of quests or goals within the games. Make it a competition.

Xiumin - Coffee, sport/fitness.  Work it out...somehow.

Sehun - Fashion, make it about Vivi, dance.

Lay - Music/Dance. Similar to the ideas for Kai/Chanyeol.

The oldest and youngest were giving you grief. Sehun because you knew he'd tease you and push you to your limit so you were trying extremely hard to work out a lesson that would captivate him and Xiumin because... well your feelings kept creeping in whenever you tried to come up with a plan. You might just have to wing it with his lesson unless a moment of genius struck you.

You were bored. Usually you'd text Baekhyun to annoy him but you couldn't do that now. Not with SM watching you so closely.  You wandered around your apartment rearranging things and tidying until you'd made yourself tired. Yawning, you decided to go lie down for a bit.

You didn't even realise you'd been asleep for hours until your phone woke you up. It was buzzing constantly with text messages. Who the hell is texting me this much?! You unlocked your phone and started to read the messages that were flooding in from 'Unknown'.

Unknown - Yah!

Unknown - Hey Y/N!

Unknown - Seriously, Y/N!

Unknown - You know it's rude not to respond to messages.

Unknown - People will think you are mean and not want to talk to you anymore.

Unknown - Oh come on! I'm bored!

Unknown - Answer meeeeeeeeeeee

Unknown - I can't believe I went to all the trouble of getting a burner phone for you to ignore me.

Unknown - I mean really, you should be thanking me, I'm curing you of your boredom too. You're probably so bored that you fell asleep.

Unknown - If you fell asleep that gives me a good reason for why you aren't answering.

Unknown - Otherwise you are just ignoring me which is rude.

Unknown - WAKE UP!

Unknown - Fine. Be asleep then. But when you respond...don't use my name kay? This is a secret phone ;)

Unknown - And if you can't work out who this is then you are dumb.

Unknown - Waaaaaaaaaakeeee uuuuuuuuupppppppp.

It has to be Baekhyun. Only he could be this annoying and endearing through text.

 Y/N - Only one person I know could be THIS persistent.

Unknown - No names, we need code names because this is all super secret.

Y/N - Fine no names... but do we seriously need code names?!

Unknown - Yes we do.

Y/N - Why?

Unknown - For fun. Plus what am I going to call you? Unknown? How boooring

Y/N - I'm calling you trouble, because it's what you are.

Unknown - Meanie.

Y/N - That's not what you're calling me is it?

Unknown - HA! I should! but...no. I need to think about this.  I'm glad you're awake now. Someone will be calling you for a...um...meeting? later tonight. Not me, I'm giving you way more time to plan mine.  ;)

Y/N - Got it...I think. Can you hint at who?

Unknown - Why spoil the fun? :P Byeeee

You spent the evening trying to figure out who would be calling or if Baekhyun was just trolling you. Trust him to break the no contact rule on Day 1. That kid was something else. You didn't think it would be Junmyeon, Minseok or Baekhyun... probably not Jongdae or Sehun either. So you tried to plan for Yixing, Jongin, Kyungsoo or Chanyeol.

Your phone rang. You stared down at it Unknown caller...no. He's not that much of an idiot is he?

"Hello Y/N" It was one of the managers. You were so glad you hadn't answered thinking it was Baekhyun.

You put on your professional voice before answering "Good evening. How can I help?"

The voice on the other end of the phone lacked emotion which you found a little offputting. "Chanyeol has requested a lesson at his studio. A cab will be outside the apartment in 1 hour to collect you."

"Ok, I will prepare my things. Thank you."

You said goodbye to the manager and heard the phone hang up before you rushed off to shower and get ready. You had one hour to get ready. If Chanyeol was at the studio your plan for his lesson might work. It would just depend on if he was alone or with people.  You placed the folder with standard tests in your bag as well as the speeches that Chanyeol was to learn. You put the finishing touches to your outfit, hair and makeup then headed downstairs to the cab that would be arriving any minute now.

Time for lesson 2.
