Chapter 11 - Showcase (Part 1 con't)
Behind the Scenes
[A/N]: More changing between Luhan and Sehun!^^
Luhan POV
I watched Sehun carefully. His eyebrows were furrowed and he looked angry. I smiled, knowing it was his look of concentration.
“EXO-M! GET READY!” I stayed in front of the TV watching Sehun as long as I could, but Kris tapped my shoulder and I sighed, turning away to walk to my place.
Standing in my spot, I waited until the chorus ended. And suddenly the spotlight was on us, and I was dancing to the beat automatically, Jongdae’s voice surrounding me. I threw myself into the song. Any nerves I had were gone completely. This was my favorite song on the album. My parts came and went, and everything was smooth. I enjoyed the feeling of dancing together on stage, one group, all twelve members together.
Before I knew it, the song ended and the lights faded. We stayed in our positions for a few long seconds before exiting the stage as quickly as possible. When we got backstage, however, everyone erupted.
“THAT WAS AMAZING GUYS!”
“EVERYONE DID SO WELL!”
“GOOD JOB!”
“CONGRATULATIONS!”
Cheers and applause surrounded us. I pushed through the throng of people to find Sehun, who was looking quite overwhelmed.
“Good job, dongsaeng.” I slapped him on the back. He looked over and smiled at me.
“Thanks, hyung.”
“See, it wasn’t so bad, right?” I put my arm around his shoulder.
“I...actually enjoyed it.” He looked down shyly.
I beamed at him. “You did well, Sehunnie. I was watching you in the beginning.”
He snapped his head up and stared at me with wide eyes. “What?? You were?!”
I laughed at his reaction. “That’s right, little maknae.”
Before he could respond, our managers reminded us, “Don’t just stand around, prepare to go on stage soon!”
Leeteuk sunbae was on stage talking while we got ready to go out on stage again.
I took Sehun’s hand and stayed by his side as assistants came toward us. They mopped sweat off our faces while all of us chugged water and grinned foolishly at each other, joking around like brothers. I will really miss this when EXO-M leaves for China.
All too soon, our few minutes were up as Leeteuk’s speech was ending. We lined up and got ready to go on stage at our cue. I shifted back and forth on my feet nervously behind Jongin.
“Now I will introduce the star of the day, EXO!”
Zitao led us out, and one by one we took our places on the stage.
Leeteuk asked us to do our introduction.
“We are ONE! Hello everyone, we are EXO!!” I bowed along with everyone else.
Leeteuk asked us to introduce ourselves. I looked to Kris and motioned for him to start, but then realized that Suho was telling Zitao, who was at the other end of the line, to start us off.
One by one, we said our names. After Jongin introduced himself, it was my turn. I bowed.
“Hello, I’m Luhan from EXO-M!” I flashed a hand motion and a smile, hearing the fans scream. I’m so grateful for them.
I listened to Yixing and D.O. introduce themselves, and then it was Sehun’s turn.
“Hello, I’m EXO-K’s maknae, Sehun,” he said in a shy voice, giving small bows, looking really embarrassed. I grinned.
The rest of the members finished their introductions and Leeteuk continued talking as we left the stage to change costumes.
Backstage, we continued to celebrate as we changed clothes. Jongin wasted no time, knowing that he would be up first. The rest of us were a little more relaxed. I looked around for Sehun.
Sehun POV
I held my face in my hands. Why am I so awkward? Why?? That introduction was so... blah.
I jumped as someone put their hand heavily on my shoulder. I spun around and saw...Luhan! He smiled at my reaction.
“Hello, I’m EXO-K’s maknae, Sehun,” he imitated me in a quiet voice. I smacked his arm.
“Don’t make fun of me,” I protested.
“Aw, I’m not making fun of you,” he responded. “It was cute.” He gave me an eye smile.
I stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed. Then he tapped my shoulder and pointed.
I followed his finger and saw a photographer going around, taking pictures of us. I sighed. Not more cameras. This wasn’t a photoshoot!
The photographer was currently taking a picture of Kris with Zitao in front of him, and Kris had his arm around his front. Baekyun joined them, standing behind Zitao. After snapping the picture, the photographer started making his way over toward us. I groaned inwardly.
“Why don’t you two pose together?” he suggested.
At least I’ll be in it with Luhan hyung.
We put our arms around each others’ shoulders and flashed peace signs.
“Good!” the photographer exclaimed.
“EXO-M! EXO-K! Get changed now! Quickly!” our managers ordered.
I frowned. Luhan patted my back. “We can talk after we’re changed,” he suggested.
“Okay,” I agreed happily. He smiled at me and left.
The photographer followed EXO-M first, still snapping pictures. Too soon, he came back to take more pictures of EXO-K. I hoped he didn’t catch me in any, but I had a feeling he did. Whatever.
I watched as Jongin left to dance to “My Lady.” Then Zitao appeared on stage to show off his martial arts skills. His wushu never failed to impress me. Then Luhan, Yixing, and Minseok danced their teaser with a fiery background. I closely followed Luhan's motions and saw that he was flawless. Good job, hyung.
