Your POV

“I miss you, Oppa” You said as you sigh. You counted to ten slowly to stop the tears from falling.

“I miss you too, Minah” You hear your brother reply. Ever since you two were little, you’ve been inseparable. Even though he was four years older than you, that didn’t stop you from following him around and since Minseok practically begged your parents for a sibling he was delighted to have someone following in his footsteps. So when the day arrived that you two had to separate, he was devastated. You two were joined at the hip so when you told him you were studying abroad, he was shocked and wanted to beg you to just stay and study in Korea but he knew how much you wanted to learn English and your love for the Western culture so he wasn’t about to go and ruin it all for you. So at the young age of 10, your parents finally agreed for you to move to America and live with your aunt and uncle to start attending school there.

During the first few months, you were terribly homesick and even considered moving back. Your brother called you every day to comfort you, you even asked him if you should go home but of course the good brother that he was  told you to stay and reminded you that this was your dream and you’ll only regret it if you gave up now. With his words in him mind, you stayed and soon you fell in love with the country. You quickly made friends and before you knew it, you started to feel like you belonged.

“I think you should come and visit me, Oppa” You smiled. The last time you saw your older brother was 2 years ago when you went back home for Christmas. Your blossoming career prevented you to go home as projects popped up one after another.

“I mean it’s been 2 years and I’ve changed since then” You giggled as you shuffled around your apartment, preparing your bag.

You heard your brother laugh as he spoke “I know how much you’ve changed, how can I not when I see your face in magazines and billboards all the time” He laughed once again.

You joined in the laughter “Hey don’t hate because your little sister is a super model” you giggled.

He chuckled “I’m not hating” He paused “I’m incredibly proud of you baby sis” You smiled. You never thought that you would become a model. You were 13 when you were approached by an agent and from there on your career rocketed. You were incredibly blessed that high end designers wanted to book you and soon you were posing for brands such a Prada and Gucci. You quickly fell in love with your new found career and thankful for the places that it took you and the people that you met.

“Naww thanks Oppa” You spoke. “So will you?” you asked.

“Will I what?” Xiumin asked.

You pouted “Will you come and visit me here?” You sat on a stool and looked at a photo of you and your older brother on the fridge door. You love what you do and you love living in America but you can’t help but miss your family especially your brother and Skype and phone calls can only go so far.

You heard him sigh and move before you heard a door shut. You knew what he was going to say. His own schedule was hectic which meant that he didn’t have any free time to come and visit you. Before he spoke, you could hear laughter in the background which could only mean one thing he was with s. “I’m sorry Minah but Exo’s busy promoting right now and-“Before he even finished you interrupted him.

“I understand, Oppa” You sighed. “Exo’s your main priority and-“This time it was him who interrupted you.

“No, family is my main priority” You laughed as you heard complaints in the background, the members clearly not happy that Xiumin didn’t consider them as family. “Okay okay, you’re family too. Exo and my family are my main priority, happy?” You heard him say to them as you heard them cheer. You smiled as you looked at the clock on the wall; you were going to be late. You gasped as you quickly put your shoes on and prepared to head out the door. You balanced your phone, tucked between your shoulder and right ear.

“Oppa” You said. “I’m sorry but I have to go” You frowned. You really missed talking to your brother. You walked out the door and locked it.

“Another one?” He asked. “What is it this time?”

You giggled and answered “I have a photo shoot then a runway show”

You heard him sigh before speaking “Alright, go knock em dead”

“You know it, Oppa!” You smiled. “What are your plans?” You asked him.

“Interview, Photo shoot and dance practice” He answered, feeling his tiredness.

“Oppa, are you taking care of yourself?” He mumbled a yes then you asked him the next question you always ask. “Do you love what you do?”

Without hesitation he answered “Yes” he chuckled “Do you love what you do?” he asked you the same thing.

You smiled “Yes” This was the question you both asked each other whenever you felt that the other needed some encouragement. You weren’t surprised of his answer. He loves being a part of Exo. Singing was something he always had a passion for and he got to know 11 guys and he loves them too.

He laughed “Okay good” there was a brief silence before he spoke again “Take care of yourself, okay kiddo”

You nodded even though he couldn’t see you “I will, Oppa” You sniffled, every time you say goodbye it always brought you to tears. You hated saying goodbye to your brother. “I miss you, Minseok Oppa” You told him again.

“And I miss you too, Minah” You smiled. “Byeeeeee” He dragged on as you giggled.

“Bye!” But before you hung up you added “Say hi to the members for me!” You said as you ended the call. You looked at the background of your phone, a photo of you and your brother from your visit 2 years ago. You smiled as you tucked your phone in your pocket and look around for the final time. You were about to give your brother the best surprise in the world. Seoul here I come.

Xiumin’s POV

He smiled as he clicked end and sat down on the couch next to Tao. He loved and hated the phone calls you two would have, loved it because he was able to talk to his little sister and hated it because that’s all he gets a phone call and maybe a Skype date every now and again but that wasn’t enough. He missed you and all he wanted was for you to move back to Korea and stay with him but of course that couldn’t happen since you two lived separate lives, in two different countries.

“My sister says hi” He mumbled as he faced the television, watching some English fashion channel that Tao was watching.

It was Sehun who actually spoke first “When are we going to actually say hi to her in person?” He asked the eldest.

Xiumin just stayed quite because he didn’t have the answer, heck he didn’t even know when he was going to see his sister next let alone, introduce her to the members.

“Ssshhhhh” Tao whined as he turned up the volume. He was watching some fashion show for one of his favourite brands. He actually giggled when the scene changed from a runway show to an interview. “They’re about to interview her!” Tao said as everyone looked at the television.

Xiumin looked at the television before he smirked. He found it amusing that s were fawning over his little sister. Oh if they only knew. That’s right; Exo knew about his sister. They also knew her name but what they didn’t know was that the model that was currently being shown on TV and the subject of Exo’s affection was his little sister. Xiumin doesn’t really know why he never told them what she does but it was amusing seeing the members blush and talk about her.

“Ahhh Minah, so beautiful” Chanyeol smiled.

“She’s so graceful and perfect” Even our leader was smitten.

Xiumin smiled, he didn’t know if he should tell the members now or just let them suffer and keep the fact that he had the phone number of their ideal type. Xiumin felt naughty.

“She and I would make a perfect couple” Kris commented.

“Give it up hyung, she’s too young for you” Kai smirked. “I’m clearly perfect for her; I mean we’re the same age”

Kris laughed “She’s my style”.

“None of you are or will be her style” Xiumin mumbled. All the members looked at the eldest, Xiumin looked up and blushed, and he didn’t mean to say that out loud. He cleared his throat and looked at his watch. He stood up and spoke “We gotta go” He turned off the TV much to Tao’s dismay. Before he could be questioned, he put his shoes and walked out.

 

Your POV

“Would you like something to drink, miss?” A very nice flight attendant asked.

“Can I have water please?” You smiled as she handed you a bottle of water before carrying on. You looked at your phone one last time before turning it off. She laughed before opening the bottle and taking a big gulp.

“Business or pleasure?” You heard someone ask. You turned to your right and saw a good looking man with a smile on his face. His eyes on you, which meant that the previous question was for you.

You smiled and answered “I’m going home” You looked out the window and wished this plane could take off already.

Xiumin’s POV

“Okay we go home, you guys rest for a bit and then we have to go to dance practice” Suho told the members as they walked out towards their vans. They just finished their photo shoot and now heading home but the day was far from over. Next on the schedule was dance practice which Xiumin always enjoyed. It was hard work but at least in their practice room they were able to be themselves and just do what they love.

The members respond before piling inside the two Vans provided. Xiumin checked his phone to see if his sister left any messages but much to his disappointment, no messages received. He looked at his phone’s background and smiled, it was a picture of him and his sister from 9 years ago before she moved to America.

“You okay, Minseok-ah?” Luhan asked as he sat beside you. “Is it your sister again?” Xiumin frowned and nodded, laying his head on Luhan’s shoulder.

Luhan frowned before patting the eldest’s head. “It’ll be okay” Xiumin sighed.

“We have a break coming up soon, right?” Luhan smiled as Xiumin looked at him. “Visit her” He smiled once again before pinching Xiumin’s cheeks.

Xiumin laughed before pushing his hands away “Okay okay, I’ll cheer up now”

“Good” Luhan smiled as they made their journey back to dorm.

“I want bubble tea” Someone suddenly said.

 

Your POV

You quickly walked out of the airport before stopping and twirled. You just felt so happy to be back and for good this time. You turned your phone back on and saw the amount of messages your best friend left you and a few from your parents. You decided to call your parents first to assure them that you landed safely and that you were on your way to surprise your brother. You smiled as they told you how much they missed you. Then you finally called your best friend.

She picked up after the first ring. “Jeez, it’s like you miss me” you smiled as you heard her scoff before whining.

“I do miss you!” You could feel her pout. “Can’t you come back?” You laughed. You met your best friend at one of your first photo shoots. You were both Koreans who were studying abroad you were more comfortable speaking Korean in the beginning and apparently she had the same mindset and from then on, you two became best friends.

“Hyeri-ah, I just got here” You laughed “Maybe you should move back to Korea too then if you missed me so much” You suggested, being half serious. You missed her too and would it be too much to have her move here too and then everything would be perfect.

“Maybe someday baby” She spoke. She loves it too much there to give it up now besides she was an only child. You only shook your head as you flagged a taxi. You quickly told the taxi driver where you were headed before hopping in. Grinning because you were literally so close to seeing your brother again.

“Did you see Minseok Oppa yet?” Hyeri asked.

“Not yet, on my way there now” You said as you looked out the window, a lot has changed since you last were here.

“Question” Hyeri spoke and as you listened “How are you going to meet him, without him knowing?”

I laughed as I told her my plan “My mom called their manager and told him about me arriving and told him the plan, so when I get there I’m suppose to give him a call and voila then I meet Oppa” You smiled. You looked at the driver as he told you that you were almost there.

Squealing you turn your attention back to your phone call “Hyeri-ah I gotta go, I’m here! I’ll call you later, okay?” You told your best friend as you said your goodbyes.

Finally you arrived; you pay the driver and thanked him for his services. You turned around and there it was the SM Entertainment building. You grinned as you dialled your brother’s manager’s number.

“Hi, it’s Minah” You smiled as you looked at the building “I’m here”

The manager informed you of another entrance, advising you not to take the front entrance because it might get chaotic. You followed his orders and looked for the other entrance before someone bumped into causing you to fall, your landing on the ground and hitting your head in the process too.

You groaned as you feel the pain and rubbing your head. You looked up and saw a shadow looking over at you.

“Are you okay?” The shadow asked. Does it look like I’m okay shadow?!

“I’m fine” You answered as the shadow offered you his hand and pulled you up. As soon as you got up and looked up, the shadow transformed into a handsome boy. You blushed as kept staring at you.

“Do you need to go get checked?” He asked as you shook your head.

“No I’m fine, thank-“You stopped yourself as you realised you were speaking in English. Korean Minah, you reminded yourself as you spoke again, this time in Korean. This boy had an effect on you because he managed to make you forget your natural tongue.

He smiled as he laughed. “Okay good, for a second there I thought I hurt you really bad” He smiled again.

You shook your head and looked down and saw one of your favourite things in the world, bubble tea. You quickly realised that it was his so you picked up the two cups and handed them to him. “Your bubble tea, thank goodness they’re okay” You smiled.

There was a silence between you two as you both just stared at each other. You finally looked away and spoke “So yeah, goodbye” You bowed as you began to walk away, still blushing.

“I’m sorry again!” He yelled as you turned around and saluted before turning back and walking away quickly. Salute? Really Minah?! You’re not even in the military. Do they even salute casually in Korea?  You thought as you groaned. You really needed to get back in touch with your culture. You finally found the door and before you entered, you took out a mirror and checked your appearance. You are a model after all, Appearance is everything. So when you were satisfied with how you looked. You smiled and opened the door.

Suho’s POV

“Yes I got your bubble tea, Sehun” Suho said as he spoke to the maknae on the phone. He’s been craving bubble tea ever since the photoshoot so after getting changed, everyone headed to dance practice but he stayed behind to go purchase the drink the maknae asked for after convincing him using his aegyo.

He laughed as he hung up the phone and walked towards the building. He was nearly there and today must be his day since no one fan approached him yet as he made his way to the side entrance of the building. He forgot his disguise and all he had was his hat which is lowered to avoid the fans, wanting to get to practice quickly. He was too busy fixing his hat when he bumped into someone. He quickly looked at the other person and saw that she was lying on the ground. He immediately asked if she was okay and offered his hand to her. She took it and Suho looked at her and he suddenly felt like he couldn’t breathe. The girl before him was pretty, no scratch that. She was gorgeous. He couldn’t help but swallow as he looked at her and stared at her as she handed him something. She looked familiar. Where has he seen that face before? Wait did she speak English before speaking Korean? Maybe she’d lived in another country and only recently moved back here. After the silence, the girl spoke and said her goodbye and walked away. Suho couldn’t help but apologize again in which she turned around and saluted him before walking away quickly. Salute? She was in the military? Suho shaked his head and began walking again, whatever or whoever she was, she was absolutely beautiful. As Suho walked inside the building towards the practice room, if only he looked to his right he would have seen the girl talking to his manager.

 

Your POV

“Welcome back to Korea” Exo’s manager smiled as you two rode the elevator. He told you that Xiumin was practicing all night with s. He was lovely, taking your suitcase and telling you that you are welcome to stay at the practice for as long as you like. You finally arrived outside the door of room, Exo was in. You smiled as the manager told you to go in first, he had some things to take care of and he had a suitcase to put inside one of the vans.

“Thanks Oppa!” You shouted as you heard him laugh, already winning him over. That’s what everyone told you, you had the power to win anyone and everyone over. Nobody could resist you and it wasn’t for the wrong reasons either. You were just the most polite, kindest and friendliest girl. You peeked through the window on the door and saw the members scattered all over the room, doing their own thing. Practice hasn’t started yet. You scanned the room until you found the person you were looking for, you smiled as you saw your brother talking to one of the members.

You smiled as you opened the door and quietly went in. You didn’t anticipate for the door to slam so hard because the next thing you knew, all eyes were on you but you were only looking at one person and he was looking at you.

Xiumin stood up and spoke “Minah?” As if not really believing that you were standing in the same room as him. You smiled as tears rolled down your eyes as you ran to his already opened arms.

“Oppa” You whispered as you hugged your brother. You could feel him shaking, he was crying too. You hugged him and you didn’t want to let go. With a laugh you finally let him go as he placed his hands on your cheeks, wiping your tears and you doing the same.

“What are you doing here?” He asked as he hugged you again.

You pulled away and spoke “Surprise” You smiled.

He laughed; it was so good to hear him laugh in person. “Are you here on vacation?” But before you could answer, you heard somebody clear their throat. Both you and your brother turned around and your eyes met with 11 shocked faces.

Xiumin laughed and put his arm around your shoulder. “Guys this is my baby sister, Minah” He introduced you as you hit him in the gut, reminding him you were no longer a baby. “Minah, meet Exo”

You giggled at their faces before bowing and introducing yourself “Hi, I’m Minah”

For a few seconds there was silence before a cute boy with awesome fashion sense spoke. “Hyung, Minah is your sister? THE Minah” Judging by his accent, you could tell he was one of the Chinese members.

“THE Minha?” You repeated as you looked at them “What is that suppose to mean?”

“Minah, the super model” He spoke again as you blushed.

You turned to your older brother “You didn’t tell them I was a model?” He chuckled and shook his head.

You laughed as you turned back towards the still shocked members “So you’ve heard of me?”

“Heard of you?” Someone repeated.

“We love you!” The same person spoke; he was smiling so much you wondered if it hurt. “You’re so beautiful and graceful and-“he continued to compliment you making you blush.

“I think she gets it. Chanyeol-ah” My brother told the tall member.

For a moment there was silence, the 11 of them still staring at you. You began to feel nervous as if they’re judging you, you were going to say something until you looked at one of the members and gasped.

“You!” You said as you looked at him.

It took a moment for him to catch on before he looked at you with wide eyes “You!” he mimicked.

“You’re bubble tea boy!” You said as he blushed.

“You’re salute girl” He said as you blushed too.

“You’re MINAH the SUPER MODEL” the same boy from before with the accent said as he looked at you.

You couldn’t help but laugh out loud as you take in everything that just happened. The 12 boys in the room just looked at you, amused. You shook your head, things were about to get interesting and crazy.
