Meeting Exo
Our South Korean AdventureMy legs start to feel like marshmallows. I almost trip and fall over, but I quickly steady myself. Take deep
breaths….take deeeeeep breaths….
“Hey, you guys are here!” Lu Han greets us cheerfully. He gives us the sweetest smile that almost erases
my shock of seeing the rest of the Exo members and waves his hands for us to come in.
“Annyeonghaseyo!” I hear Min Young say as she bows 90 degrees.
I wave and try to bow a little, but I’m clearly not used to the traditional Korean greeting.
“Hana, dul, set…Annyeonghaseyo Exo imnida!” They all say and bow 90 degrees, except Lu Han who turns
and says something to them in Korean, and they all step aside to let us in.
Min Young and I carefully step inside the sparkling clean house. I was almost too focused on Exo to notice
the generous amount of food they had prepared. There was bulgogi, bibimbap, kimbap, Ddeokbokki,
noodles , kimchi, and piles of various snacks. The room was stunning. The carpet was white and soft, the
couch was long and curved, and the flat screen T.V. hanging on the wall was HUGE!! The window was
completely glass and the view of Seoul was INCREDIBLE!!!!!
“Should I introduce you to Exo?” Lu Han suddenly asked snapping me out of my daydream.
“Ohhh…uhhhh…. Yes, please do.” I reply trying to steady my voice.
“Ok, well, not all of Exo is here today, but you’ll get to meet the rest of them later hopefully.” He says.
I look around and realize that only Se Hun, Kai, Lay, Tao, Baekhyun, and Chen were here, so Kris, Su Ho,
Xiu Min, Chanyeol, and D.O. were missing. Well, that calmed me down a little, knowing I won’t have to deal
with ALL 12 members of Exo. Whewww…
“So…Exo is a twelve-member Chinese-South Korean boy group under SM Entertainment, formed in 2012.
EXO is divided into two subgroups, EXO-K and EXO-M, promoted in South Korea and China…..” Lu Han
continues to explain all the things I already know.
I just stand and listen nodding at the right times, all the while getting lost in his dreamy eyes.
He moves on to introducing Kai, Se Hun, Lay, Tao, Baekhyun, and Chen. He mentions their ages and their
role in the band ( i.e. main singer, rapper, lead dancer…)
I get a closer view of each member.
Kai is seems really laid back. He has a bad boy/y look, but a really lovable and dorky laugh.
Se Hun looks manly and cute at the same time. His figure is really flawless, and his face is adorable. I
loved the way his Adam’s apple moved when he swallowed each time.
Lay was really polite. He seemed to be shy, so he stood in the back and nodded when it was his turn to be
introduced.
Chen smiled and waved when he was introduced. He had a nice authentic smile that made me feel more
comfortable.
Baekhyun was beyond adorable. He had such soft eyes.
Tao looked a bit intimidating with his eyeliner and earrings, but his face was really kind when he smiled.
After the introductions were over, I turned to look at Min Young. She was totally going all googly eyes for
Se Hun. Looks like Min Young finally found her bias! I silently chuckled to myself.
Kai said something in Korean, and all the members started heading towards the couch. Min Young followed
right behind Se Hun, and I quickly turn to Lu Han.
“Kai said, we should show you some of our songs and get you to be fans.” Lu Han translated.
He gestured me to follow him to the living room and sit on the couch beside him. The thought of sitting
close to Lu Han brought back my nerves. Ok…calm down….loosen up….
I slowly sat next to him trying to leave as much space in between us as I could without looking weird. I
cross my legs to prevent them from shaking uncontrollably.
Chen and Baekhyun get the Karaoke machine out. They play “What is Love” Korean version first while
Baekhyun sings along and then the Chinese version for Chen.
Afterwards, Lu Han and Kai stand up and dance to “Time Control”. I watch in awe at their powerful, yet
precise movements. The fun continues as we go through all of Exo’s songs, allowing each member to display
their talents.
When they’re all exhausted from dancing and singing, Lay and Tao walked over to get the food that was
prepared. I look over at Min Young who was chatting with Se Hun as if they were old friends. What the
heck?!!? Man, is Min Young comfortable around guys!!
Min Young and Se Hun stand up and walk towards the stairs. WTH?!? Min Young don’t leave meee!!! I silently
scream in my head.
Lu Han senses me freaking out and explains that Se Hun is just showing Min Young around the house. I feel
my cheeks turn red. I can’t believe Lu Han noticed my minor panic attack.
He tries to lighten the mood.
“Do you like video games?” He suddenly asks.
“Huh? Ummm..I don’t really play, but I used to love Super Smash Bros when I was younger” I reply.
“Really? Great! Let’s play!” Lu Han exclaimed while rushing over to set up the equipment.
After a few hours of intense gaming, Se Hun and Min Young finally return. I look at Min Young with a
“What took you so long?” look. She looks at me apologetically turns right back to Se Hun with a flirty face.
I sign and look at my watch. It’s already 10:00?!?!
“Min Young and I should go. Right Min Young?” I announce while turning to look at Min Young.
“Awww, but I want to stay longer” Min Young pouts.
I give her a “why are you acting like this” look, but then Lu Han interrupts.
“You guys are welcome to spend the night.” He says casually looking back and forth between me and Min
Young.
What?!?! Did Lu Han just say what I think he did? No, no, no…. There’s no way….
