I closed the door behind me slowly as I exited. I tried to keep a calm appearance as I was in the room, but once the door was closed behind me I couldn’t help but let out a squeel and do a little dance in the hallway. Luckily no one was around to see it. I calmed down and fixed my hair and rubbed all the wrinkles out of my clothes. I was OFFICIALLY the translator for EXO! Whooo! This was mostly for M, but I was also to help K in instances when needed. I was told to go to EXO M’s dorm now. I would be staying there for the time being; possibly permanantly. I didn’t really know how that was going to work, but I guess I could work with it. I mean, I didn’t really mind. I loved all the guys, but it sure would be hectic. Plus I didn’t really know how that would work with Yi Xing and I kinda… whatever it was that was going on with us. I mean, I liked him, and I’m pretty sure he likes me too. Kris always teases us because we’re always texting and stuff. But I guess the fact that we’ve only personally met for all of three days really put a halt on where our relationship was going for the moment. Since then he had been traveling around China and then in Korea, and I had been working in Shanghai and had now finally made my way to Korean too.

I walked past the practice room that Lay and Kai had been using earlier and peeked in to see if he was in there. He wasn’t. I pouted. I had hoped to maybe get to see him dance some more. But then I remembered what Kai had done. I shook my head and headed back to the lobby. Maybe it was a good thing that they were no longer there…

I got back to the hotel and sat at the table to try and figure out what to do from here. I was told to get to the dorm by either tonight or tomarrow morning, because after that they’d stop paying for the hotel. I figured I might as well go tonight. I really wanted to see them all. I decided to send Lay a text so that I could figure out if he was at home or not.

Nina: So, are you practicing right now?

I waited a few moments in anticipation, staring at my phone. I really hoped he would answer. I desperatly needed to see him again. Being in Seoul for so long, but not seeing him has been absolute torture and I was ready to end it.

Lay: No. I just got home. I’ve been practicing with Kai for hours. I’m sooo tired.

Nina: Wow, really? Wah! Well, get lots of rest okay?

Lay: ^^ Ne~

I giggled at his use of Korean. I guess when he’s in Korea he tries to use Korean more? Or maybe he kinda has to because of EXO K. We continued to speak as I began packing my stuff back up. I grabbed my bags and headed to the door. I grabbed a taxi and headed to their dorm, all the while still texting with Lay.

Lay: So, have you heard anything yet about the job? Our manager has been pretty tight lipped about it with us recently…

UGH! He would ask me about this RIGHT now. I bit my lip as I tried avoiding the question.

Nina: Yeah… But I’ll talk to you later about it. Okay?

Heh. Yes. I. would.

Lay: Oh… Okay. I hope it’s all good!

I smirked,

Nina: Yeah, I think it is. ^^

Yeah, I hope it’s all good. I mean, I’m not so sure about the whole living with six guys.

Lay: Oh, good. :)

At this point I was climbing out of the Taxi with my bag. I paid the driver and he drove off, leaving me alone to stand there and stare up at the building in awe on my own.  I gave myself a small pep talk and began making my way inside. I got in the elevator and traveled up to their level and got out. I walked down the hallway untill I came to their number. I quickly replied to Lay’s latest text and took a deep breath. This was it.

I approached the door slowly. I was nervous. I hadn’t seen them all in quite awhile now. They didn’t even know I was coming. I stood there for a moment and considered running away, but I knew that wouldn’t do. I hesitantly reached out and pressed the doorbell. I heard yelling and running behind the door. I giggled. Still hyper as ever, huh? Steps approached and the door finally started opening. I held my breath. The door opened to reveal Lay. My eyes widened in surprise and so did his. We just stared at eachother for a moment. He stared at me, then down at the phone in his hands, then back up at me. He looked at me questioningly, cocking his head to the side. “Lay, who is it?” I heard a voice call as Kris came around the corner. He saw me and grinned brightly. “Ahh! Nina!” He smiled mischeviously as he glanced between the two of us. I couldn’t help but grin back. He always teases us so. “You guys have about a minute before everyone else comes to greet Meimei. I’ll try to hold them off as long as I can.” He winked and turned to leave. I blushed slightly.

“Uhh, here. Come in.” Lay opened the door wider and grabbed my bag from me. I entered and he closed the door behind me. He sat my bag down by the wall and turned towards me. He looked as though he was about to say something, but before he could Xiumin came running towards us.

“Meimei!”  He ran and tackled me in a hug.

“Oof!” I stumbled backwards and laughed. Lay gave him a look and I chuckled as I hugged him back. “Annyeong, Xiumin-ah!”

“Meimei?” I heard another voice from the other room ask. I smiled as Luhan poked his head around the corner. His eyes widened as he made an ‘O’ with his mouth. I smiled and waved. He smiled brightly and walked down the hall. He reached out and gave me a tight hug. We were quickly interupted by Tao,

“Jiejie!” He happily ran down the hall and clung onto my arm. I giggled at the cute maknae. Chen came behind him and also gave me a hug.

“I knew they’d accept you.” He winked. I smiled and nodded. Kris came back and leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. He smirked at Lay.

“Come on Jiejie! Let me show you around!” Tao began pulling me away. “Uhh,” I looked back at Lay as I was being pulled away after the others.

“Hold on a sec Tao. You go on in there and wait. She’ll be in there in a minute.” Kris said. Tao pouted but listened. He let go of me and walked off. My back was still to Lay as I turned to look at Kris now. He just smiled at me and walked away. Just then I felt a hand on my arm. I turned and was enveloped in a hug. I was surprised, but quickly smiled, wrapping my arms back around Lay. We stood like that for a moment before eventually pulling apart. He held onto my arms. “I missed you,” He finally whispered. I smiled,

“I missed you too.” He stood there and smiled at me for a moment before grabbing my hand and pulling me down the hall.

“Come on. I can feel Tao’s impatience from here.” I laughed and followed him through to the living room where everyone else was resting. Tao popped up as soon as he saw me.

“Jiejie! Lets go!” He grabbed my other hand, pulling me away from Lay. I looked back at him as we ran off. Lay smiled back, shook his head, and followed us.
