Ego - Big Bang (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZb5JwgRxg8)     Baozi = Steamed bun (a.k.a Xiumin's nickname). Ke ai = "Cute" in mandarin.   ------------------------ Narrator’s P.O.V:     Naeun was bewildered but didn’t know what to do. Tao kept rambling on and on while Baekhyun was at a loss for words.   But when she heard familiar voices calling out to them from afar, she relaxed. The rest of EXO-K were traveling fast down the hill. Instinctively, their eyes widened as they saw their old friend.   “OH!” Sehun pointed, “TAO!”   “Sehun-ah! Geges!” Tao squealed—something that Naeun gaped at. *How can such an intimidating face make such a cute sound?* She gawked.   Tao ran off to attack EXO-K in a big hug. D.O and Sehun were dumbfounded with disbelief while Kai, Suho and Chanyeol had wide, ecstatic grins.   “Waa! We made it! We’re on EXO Planet!” Tao cheered happily as he turned back to Baekhyun and unconsciously hugged him again, “We’re finally united!”   Suho was stunned, “We? You mean, the others came too?” The black-haired boy didn’t answer, but had a playful look on his face.   “Huang Zitao,” A deep, masculine voice said amusedly, “Get off of Baekhyun. You’re suffocating him.”   Naeun looked up to see a shadow—no—multiple shadows, as they jumped down from various trees in the forest. Her eyes widened and she stifled her gasp as she took in the sight of five equally handsome boys—EXO-M.   “Nice to see you, EXO-K.” The round, slightly chubby one grinned brightly, “I hope you didn’t miss us too much!”   “Minseok!” D.O ran over as Xiumin laughed and hugged him. It was a heartwarming scene. D.O held him out at arm’s length, “How are you here? How did you guys get here?”   Xiumin brushed it off, “Aww, that’s not important now. Save the details for later, my big-eyed friend.” His teeth glinted brightly.   Naeun noticed Sehun behind her, who seemed frozen. Her eyes followed his gaze, and she peered through the unfamiliar faces until she noticed one adorable and flawless face. Immediately, Naeun knew, by his warm, light brown hair, that it was him.     Sehun’s mouth hung open a bit, and he looked dazed. He stared at the figure in disbelief as his mouth ran dry. Suddenly, a small nudge broke him out of his trance. He glanced towards Naeun, who smiled gently at him. *Go, Sehun.*   He didn’t know how, but the maknae managed to take the first step, and then the next… And the next. The boys seemed to hush down and become quieter until it was silent. They watched the scene.   Sehun just couldn’t believe it when he approached the hyung. His hands were slightly shaking uncontrollably, and he was speechless.   The elder merely stared at the younger with an endearing expression on his face, “Sehun-ah…” His sweet voice was the same. The warm and kind undertone had never left.   “Luhan…hyung…?” Sehun managed to call out in his crackling voice. The elder known as Luhan softly smiled, “Hello, didi.”   At once, Sehun could feel the prickling of tears emerging from his eyes. He instantly enveloped his hyung into a tight hug. Luhan let out a tinkling laugh and patted his back in a rhythmic pattern. Sehun buried his face in Luhan’s shoulder. The hug from his best friend and older ‘brother’ was more precious to him than any other word he could’ve uttered.   "I’m sorry," "It wasn’t your fault," and "I’m glad you’re here" were all embedded in the small but sweet gesture. Luhan was finally here, and he didn’t resent Sehun. That was enough for the younger boy.   A gentle but caring smile took over Naeun’s lips as she watched the scene. *I’m glad your friend is back, Sehun.* She thought, genuinely happy for him.   After Sehun came back to his senses and the commotion died down, Naeun was officially introduced to EXO-M, the other half of EXO-K. The six males appeared before her and EXO-K.   “Naeun, this is EXO-M, our close friends and brothers.” Suho politely introduced, “Guys, this is Song Naeun, our new friend and recently recruited roommate.” He chuckled.   “Not recent,” D.O reminded, “She’s become an important addition to our ‘EXO Family’.” Everyone laughed as Naeun’s heart warmed up. *…Family, roommate, and friend. That doesn’t sound bad at all.* She beamed happily. Baekhyun softened as he saw her elated expression.   Kai suggested, “Introduce yourselves one by one. That’s what all of us did when we first stumbled upon little miss troublemaker for the first time.” He affectionately ruffled Naeun’s hair. She laughed as she patted her hair down, “Troublemaker? Are you sure about that?”   “See how adorable she is?” A voice Naeun recognized as Chanyeol’s sounded from behind her. His arms slung around her neck from behind as he grinned crazily, one eye twitching again.   “Chanyeol, you look like a mass-murderer.” One boy sarcastically responded, “Either that, or you look like a e.”   Naeun burst into laughter along with the others as Chanyeol looked embarrassed. “Quiet, Jongdae!” He barked.   “Since everyone’s too chicken to go first, I might as well do it.” The sarcastic boy chuckled. Naeun noticed that he had a sharp jawline, devious look in his eyes, and a handsomely chiseled face. His dark hair was very subtly gelled and swept away to the side.   “Hi there. I’m Kim Jongdae. Friends call me Chen. I hold the power of electricity.” He smiled and held out his hand. Naeun reached out to shake it when a small, electric shock stunned her. Immediately, she pulled away, “Ouch!”   “Oops.” Chen looked sheepish, “Sorry about that.” Naeun laughed it off seconds later and took his hand again, “That’s alright. Hello… Chen.”   A round but cute face popped up from behind Chen. Naeun blinked in surprise as he waved energetically, “Hi! Hello! Annyeong!”   “Um… Hi.” She smiled lopsidedly.   “I’m Xiumin, but my official name is Kim Minseok. I wield the power of frost.” He extended his palm and blew on it as small ice shavings floated around and melted on Naeun’s palm. “Whoa…” She ogled. Xiumin grinned, satisfied by her reaction. “If you make me food, we’ll be best friends forever!” He bargained.   Before Naeun could respond, a flick hit Xiumin’s head. “Ow!” He protested, rubbing the sore spot.   “Oh, hush, you baozi.” Luhan rolled his eyes but smiled nevertheless. He extended his hand towards her in a general handshake, “So you’re Song Naeun. The others were right. You are cute. Ke ai.” Luhan smiled angelically. Naeun was momentarily fazed by his beauty and blushed.   “Ohh~” The
