Mistaken.

When I Start Singing.

Janice figured EXO-M would consist of all the chinese speaking members, since the letter M says it all. Moreover none of the EXO-K members were seen speaking in chinese among themselves. A smile flashed on Janice's face as she picked out the first 2 costumes. LUHAN. XIUMIN. Chinese looking names. PERFECT, Janice jumped and went off in EXO-M's direction. Dodging every stylist and staff members, Janice caught sight of this guy with golden hair, the same colour as Kris's. He was chatting with the stylist as she styled his hair. Janice stared at the mirror and gasped. Perfect jawline, smooth skin, double eyelids, totally her type.. The girl couldn't help but do a little dance as her fangirl self started to emerge. Janice fought hard to suppress herself from squealing as she kept a straight face and approached that pretty boy, making a mental note to speak Chinese so as to not embarrass herself. 

At the other side of the room, someone was observing Janice. He was waiting for his stylist to be done with Lay, and his eyes fell on her. The girl who crashed the room just a while ago.. She looked pretty familiar. Chen watched Janice pass the costumes to the other members, and chuckled when she mixed Sehun and Baekhyun up. That girl's pretty.. funny, he thought as he spotted her dancing right behind Luhan. Again, it was Luhan's looks which killed her. Chen was not surprised by her actions, that was the exact same reaction every girl would give when they saw Luhan. Chen glanced at the mirror. If only he had half of his looks.. He sighed as he continued to observe Janice passing Luhan his clothes, trying to figure out who you were. "Hi, are you Luhan?" Janice's voice trailed off as she continued to observe his pretty face. That guy turned around and replied in Chinese as well "Yeah I am Luhan.. Is that my costume?" His smiled killed Janice as she became flustered and nodded, handing him Xiumin's costume by mistake. The girl almost slapped herself on the spot when Luhan stared at Xiumin's name tag, and reached out to take the other one instead. "Oh, sorry.. I mixed the costumes up.." Janice bit her lip and bowed. Gosh, I must stop fangirling now, she chided herself as Luhan flashed another one of his killer smiles and pointed to the chair beside him. "Xiumin's sitting here, just place it on the chair. Thanks anyway," he explained, turning back to the mirror. Janice nodded and did as he told, running back to the clothes rack to hide her pink face.

There was one huge reason why Janice rather be assigned to girl groups than boy groups. Her fangirl moments. Janice may look tonboy-ish and quiet on the outside, but she was always hiding her fangirl side. She can be regarded as the craziest fangirl among the trainees, even if she didn't know the other female trainees well. Her apartment was full of idols' posters, and she had a huge collection of their albums.. CEO-nim was perfectly aware of this, but Janice never knew why he kept scheduling her with the boy groups. It seemed like he was training her tolerance.. Janice snorted as she handed the costumes to Tao and Lay without major mishaps. They were really good looking.. Janice couldn't help but steal glances at that Luhan guy, his smile was.. amazing. If not for coordi unnie screaming for her, Janice might just have fainted on the spot seeing him laugh while talking to Sehun. 

'Yes Hyeeun unnie?" Janice rushed to her side. She was frantically waving her hands around and Janice could not understand what she was saying until she calmed Hyeeun down. "Okay, all the stylists are busy but and we have got only 15 minutes left and Chen is not even prepared. I'll put you in charge of him for today. Go dress him up and style his hair. His hair doesn't need much styling so just do it your way!" Janice glared at Hyeeun, she was not prepared to dress an idol, let alone style his hair. She tried to protest but Hyeeun didn't listen to her and rushed her on her way. Janice exhaled and grabbed Chen's costume, heading towards the last guy with no one attending to him. At least he understands Chinese, Janice thought. 

Chen, on the other hand, was getting impatient. No one was attending to him yet, and there was not much time left before the rehearsal. He tapped his feet unknowingly and started to look around, hoping to ask one of the coordi noonas about it. Until that girl he was looking at earlier came over and passed him his costume, then speaking a whole chunk of Chinese to him. He got a shock, and could only stare at the girl in disbelief. She was really good, as good as Kris hyung, he thought. But Chen had no idea what Janice was talking to him about, and after a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth.

"Sorry, I am not good in Chinese.." 

Janice stared at the guy who just said that to her in Korean. She took a while to process the meaning, and then she couldn't help but went "HUH? But you are called Chen, isn't that a chinese name?" in Chinese. It was lucky Chen managed to get what she was saying, and he shook his head, holding out a hand. "Hi, my name's Kim Jong Dae, I'm a korean." Janice stared at his hand and looked at him. He's a korean? Then she recalled Hyeeun's words ".. There are 4 Chinese members in EXO-M.." “OH," Janice thought aloud, and she blushed immediately, apologising to a smiling Chen. She would have facepalm-ed herself literally if only she wasn't holding his clothes. Stop smiling, you are killing me, Janice thought as she shifted her gaze and shook his hand. "Hi, I'm Janice, my korean is not very good, please forgive me," and she explained carefully to him in Korean about what she had to do. Chen nodded at everything and pointed to his watch. "I think we have to be quick.." He smiled again and went off to change. 

It was lucky his hair didn't need much styling, as within 10 minutes she were already done with his hair and was putting on the last touches of his makeup. The two of them didn't talk much, mainly because Janice was too focused on her work. Chen watched her fumble with the hairspray, and figured she was a newbie. But he still has yet to figure out who she was exactly. "Jang Jang!" Janice exclaimed as she stepped back to admire her work. Chen looked dashing in his silver jacket and black pants. Chen looked at the mirror, and nodded. "You're not bad.. Janiceu?" Janice flinched and stared at him. The pronounciations were getting on her nerves. Chen noticed that and scratched the back of his head, causing Janice to slap his arm lightly and rush to tidy up his hair. He laughed and looked at you through the mirror. "Do you.. have any korean names?" Janice looked up, and shook her head. "My chinese name is En Min, if that helps.." Chen nodded and smiled again, making Janice blush again. "Then you'll be Eun Min!" He made a fist pump and stretched out his hand to give Janice a hi-five. 

Janice returned his hi-five, and giggled as they got rushed out as they needed to head to the showcase venue. Eun Min, I'll remember that, Janice smiled as she boarded the van together with the EXO-M members.

Oh my gosh. I'd love to see Chen act like that in reality. Chen is sort of underappreciated but I know there's more of him than just his gentle face and lovely voice. Way to go with the story! I love it!
