You barely had time to think or breathe. 

It was a rush to get the boys' airplane tickets, making sure their visas were up to date and everything was in working order. 

You had to all leave at the crack of dawn once again, but this time to board a plane. 

By the time you got to the dorms you were completely worn out. You'd almost forgotten the boys' had had their first showcase. 

You unlocked the door and stepped into the brightly lit lounge;

'WOOOO!!!!' 

You nearly fell back in surprise; there they all were; smiling and laughing with each other, drinking coke and eating delivery food, you felt bad you couldn't cook them a congratulatory dinner since you were so late. 

'You - you guys' you breathed looking at the scene in front of you. 

'________-ah!' Sehun exclaimed excitedly, pointing at you. 

Luhan turned around and smiled upon seeing you, nudging Tao next to him; whispering something in his ear before Tao jumped up and ran out the living room.

You barely had time to figure out what that was all about as Jong Dae had jumped up and wrapped his arms around you welcomingly. 

You noticed Kevin smile at Yixing who looked sleepy before smiling back at you. 

'We saved some chicken for you, come and sit down!' Baekhyun said motioning you closer to the food sprawled out on the table. 

'Oh don't mind if I do~' you smiled sitting down between Kyungsoo and Baekhyun. 

Kyungsoo wrapped one arm around your shoulders before giving them a slight squeeze, continuing to stare at his chopsticks. 

'Glad you got home safely.' He muttered in your ear. 

'Mmm, you too.' You said feeling your face get hot. 

'WAIT WAIT BEFORE YOU EAT ______-ah! Wait someone cover her eyes!' You heard Tao exclaim excitedly. 

'Wait, what are you guys-'

'-Ok I've got her eyes!' Baekhyun laughed, his delicate fingers against your skin gave you shivers. He pulled you back so you fell onto his chest. 

'Yah - Baekhyun-ah! You guys-'

You could hear people shuffling around and jitters of excitement around you. 

'Ok ok - here.' Baekhyun ordered; unveiling your eyes. 

You looked in front of you. 

Your face dropped. 

Your mouth fell open. 

The boys were loving the reaction since half them were breaking down into fits of chuckles. 

6 of the boys; the boys from Exo M. 

They stood in front of you with smiles plastered on their faces. 

Tao and Yixing both held a box in front of your face. 

'Wh-what is this?' You breathed feeling your face turn bright red. 

Baekhyun played with your ear next to you; it somehow kept you from tearing up. 

'Here - open it.' Yixing said taking the box from Tao who made a face before handing it to you. 

The relatively flat yet large box had a ribbon stuck on it. 

You opened it feeling excitement brew. 

'But you guys, I don't need gifts or anything! I should be giving you gifts since it's your special day!' You whined looking around at them helplessly. 

'Yah but you gave us presents yesterday, besides. This is from us - seeing as we won't see you as much anymore.' Luhan said resting his arm on Minseok who nodded in agreement. 

You bit your lip before removing the lid...

It was a photobook. 

A photo album. 

You gasped, unable to utter any words. 

'Haha open it.' Kevin said beginning to get excited in his own relaxed way. 

You opened it. 

There were messages scrawled all over the front of the page; 

It was a mixture of Korean and Chinese. 

'Look at the messages after, keep flipping! There's one picture I really want to show you~~' Jong Dae sang hopping like a little child. 

This album was jam-packed with pictures, it made you realise just how many memories you had actually shared with these boys; 

There were pictures of you and the boys at restaurants, at the bubble tea cafe, playing football, lounging around in the dorms; having lunch and such. 

'That's when you and Kyungsoo made your first meal together; I had to record it since it was chicken!' Jongin said tapping at the photo proudly. 

'Oh and that's when you were mopping.' Jong Dae said pouting while he pointed at the picture. 

'Wah don't catch me off guard, I look terrible!' You yelped scrunching up your mouth as you stared at yourself. 

'You were listening to music, I tried calling you but you didn't answer...' Jong Dae replied looking innocent. 

'And you doing the laundry, laughing at Chanyeol's Spongebob boxers, oh and here - when we were dancing to Diplo haha!' He exclaimed laughing at the end. 

Even you couldn't help but laugh; Chanyeol didn't; 

'Why did you put that in there!?' He moaned covering his eyes. 

'Here it is, here it is hahahahaa, look at Hyung's face hahah!' Jong Dae laughed pointing at the picture. 

You didn't really understand the amazement over it; 

It was you enjoying cake frosting, it looked like you were in the process of your lips, you looked so out of it - that was probably the most embarrassing part of the picture. The other boys looked like they were pissing themselves, and Kevin sat next to you with a look you couldn't quite explain...

'I don't get it.' You shrugged your shoulders. 

'Haha this was straight after you kissed Wu Fan hahaha.' Baekhyun remembered, snickering with Jong Dae. 

Your eyes nearly popped out of your skull. 

This was the reaction they were all hoping for seeing as Sehun, Jong Dae, Baekhyun, Chanyeol and even Luhan began cackling. 

'She didn't kiss him, she just...swiped her lips against-' you clamped your hands over Junmyeon's mouth, nearly dropping the album in the process. He stared at you with large, aloof eyes. 

'Even though Hyung missed the actual kiss, this picture is just as good hahaha.' Jong Dae laughed slapping Minseok on the back. 

'Oh and here's some pictures from the debut party - that was a crazy night!' Luhan said as you released Junmyeon slowly. 

'Oh yeah, gosh I remember that night.' You said rolling your eyes; you met Kevin's stare, both of you couldn't help but chuckle upon recollecting what had happened that night. 

As you turned each page you couldn't help but feel touched; there were little notes everywhere and stickers - it was actually quite girly for a photo book made by boys; but to be honest, seeing as Tao and Jong Dae were the most excited - it must've been them that added these 'finishing touches.'

Wait, what are these?' You asked turning to one of the pages at the back. 

'Oh these are a collection of a few selfies I took - it's just something to remember me by!' Tao purred, nodding at his own actions approvingly. 

'This guy.' Baekhyun and Chanyeol both muttered staring at Tao with judgemental, dazed looks. Tao looked thoroughly pleased with himself regardless. Jong Dae stared in disgust while Yixing shook his head disapprovingly. 

'Only he'd think of that.' Sehun chuckled, his shoulders bobbed up and down, Tao flashed him a dirty look. 

You shrugged; they were really good selfies regardless; you noticed some from your group chats where Tao usually updated his whereabouts by taking a selfie, much to the rest of the boys' annoyance since the replies were usually:

Baekhyun: Stop posting your stupid selfies, they take up memory on my phone >:(

Tao: I'm just asking if my outfit looks good or not!

Chanyeol: We're not even going out today :/

Kyungsoo: Get out the bathroom already Tao I need
