Chapter 4

Runway To Love

Your POV

“So where are you off to now?” YoonMi asked me as we walked out the restaurant. I checked my phone to see if Manager Oppa left me a message and sure if enough there it was.

“I’m going to go see my brother and his friends” You told her, you felt bad about not telling her who your brother was or his friends but you knew that they were going to find out soon enough.

“Is it true that the reason why you moved back here was because of your brother?” Eunji asked.

“Where did you hear that from?” You asked her as she shrugged.

“It was the news that was spread after you left America” She said.

You sighed, is there nothing that’s private anymore? “I guess” You mumbled. “I mean I missed my parents too but the main reason is my brother” You smiled “We’ve always been close and I knew I was bound to come back here anyways”

“He sounds great” Greg smiled “Can’t wait to meet him”.

You laughed “Well you’ll be meeting him tomorrow” You mumbled.

“What?” The four of them asked as you shook your head.

“I better get going it was nice to meet you all” You smiled as you bowed. “I’ll see you tomorrow!”

“Be safe!” Bora yelled “And get ready to meet Exo!” She added. Oh if you only knew Unnie.

You took another taxi to your next destination; you should really buy a car you told yourself. You were in the taxi when you remembered that you needed to tell your best friend, the good news. You took out your phone and took a selca and wrote “Guess who the new face of Etude House is!” You sent it to her. Sure enough a minute later she called you. You laughed as you picked up.

“Yo!” You answered as you heard her giggle.

“Say it ain’t so” she said. “You’re joking, right?”

“Nothing but the truth” You smiled. “I’m so excited!”

“Oh my gosh, Congratulations babe!” She spoke “Super proud of you!”

“Oh, it gets better!” I added.

“What else?” She sighed “I don’t know if my poor heart can take it”

I laughed; she’s always been the more dramatic one. “I’m teaming up with Exo for the campaign; I get to work with my brother!” I beamed.

“And his super hot 11 friends” She added as you blushed.

“Yeah, that too” You mumbled.

She laughed “Gotta admit they are pretty good looking, especially that Luhan kid”

“What kid, he’s older than us” You scoffed “Wait, how’d you know that there’s a Luhan?” You asked as the line went silent.

You smirked “Did you stalk Exo, Hyeri?” When she didn’t reply you laughed “Oh my goodness, you did!”

“Well, I had to do my research” She mumbled “Hey this is for you, you know”

“I didn’t ask you to” You smiled.

“I know but I was just being a good best friend” She said.

You were still laughing “Let me guess, you downloaded all their songs didn’t you?” She was silent again.

“They’re really good” She whined as you laughed again.

“Well let me know when the feels becomes too much, I can always hook you up with them” I smirked as she gasped.

“Would you really?” She cleared “I mean, whatever. I only date models”

“Ha! Too late, you already destroyed your image Ms Hyeri Lee” You said as you arrived at your destination.

“Gotta go, have fun listening to Exo” I stepped out the car “Oh and I’ll be sure to tell Luhan what you said” You smirked, before she can protest you hung up the phone. She was going to kill you later.

You fixed your dress before walking towards the location. The big vans, lights and fans gave away their location but before you walked towards them you noticed a café around the corner. With a smiled, you walked towards it. You arrived in front of the café’ and walked inside, towards the register. A man that looked around your age smiled before greeting you.

You smiled but before you could say anything he gasped and spoke first “You’re Minah” He said as he blushed. “Kim Minah, the super model” He smiled as you blushed and nodded.

“Hello” You said. “You know, who I am?”

He blushed “Yes, you’re my ideal type” he surprised you.

“Oh” this time it was you who blushed “Thank you, that’s so kind of you” you smiled.

“C-can I have your autograph?” He stuttered finding him adorably cute. He handed you a piece of paper and a pen. You picked up the pen and looked at him.

“What’s your name?” You asked.

He smiled “Park Minho”

You nodded as you scribbled a message for Minho before signing it. You handed it to him with a smile. As he thanked you, an idea came to mind. You took out your camera and talked to him.

“Uh, you might not know this but I have a YouTube channel” You said as he nodded.

“Oh I know, Minah-ssi” Minho blushed “I watch them all the time, even the ones that are in English”

You smiled, he was a true fan. You started a YouTube page when you started your modelling career; you filmed your modelling career and also made advice videos to young girls. You also vlogged about your everyday life and meeting Minho gave you the idea to vlog your new life in Korea.

“Would you like to be in one of my videos?” You asked him as you smiled. He blushed before agreeing.

You the camera and faced it towards yourself. “Hi! It’s been awhile. I’ve been a bit busy since I moved back to Korea” You smiled as you looked at Minho next to you. “But on my second day here, I met someone very special” You bumped Minho’s shoulder, even though they couldn’t see him yet. You turned to him and spoke “Minho-ssi, would you like to say hi?” You smiled as you turned the camera towards your fan.

He blushed as he waved “Hi” he whispered as you laughed.

You moved next to him and faced the camera towards the both of you. “Minho-ssi is a fan of mine and he’s such a lovely person” He smiled “Plus he works at café’ which is a bonus because you guys know how much I love my coffee” You laughed. For the next few minutes, you kept talking until you decided to end it.

“So that’s it, for now” You smiled and faced Minho “Is there anything you’d like to say, Minho-ssi?” You asked him.

He bit his lip and smiled “Minah-ssi, Fighting!” You laughed as you both waved at the camera before shutting it off. You placed the camera back in your bag as Minho returned behind the counter.

“Thank you for that, Minho-ssi” You smiled as he shook his head and thanked you. “Now to order” You laughed. You weren’t sure of what everyone liked so you asked Minho for help “What is the best drink to get if you wanna feel refreshed and energized? But still tasting sweet?” You smiled as he told you the perfect drink.

You nodded “Okay, can I get 13 of that please” You smiled as he nodded and placed the order.

“That’s a lot of drinks, Minah-ssi” Minho talked to you as your drinks were being made. “How are you going to carry all that?” He asked you as you gasped.

“Oh, I didn’t think of that” You bit your lip as he laughed.

“Where are you taking these drinks?” He asked you.

“Around the corner” You said thinking of a way to get these drinks to Exo.

“Oh, I can help you” He smiled as you looked at him

“Really?!” You smiled as he nodded.

“Yes, no problem”

“You are a life saver, Minho-ssi”

After all the drinks were made, you and Minho made your way towards the place where Exo was. You called Manager Oppa and told him you were here. You asked him if the boys were filming and he said they were on a break right now, which was perfect. He told you to head towards the white tent and that’s where all of them were. As you were walking, Minho noticed the crowd.

“Woah, who are they here to see?” He asked as you walked towards the tent.

“Exo” You told him.

“Are you here to see them? Are you a fan?” He said.

You laughed “I am here to see them and yes I am a fan” You smiled “But I know them, one of them members is my brother” You shared, nothing wanting to lie to him.

“Oh really, which one?”

“Xiumin Oppa” You smiled as you neared the white tent. As you walked towards the tent, you couldn’t help but notice the fans staring at you. You hoped that those three girls from before weren’t there. You simply bowed as you passed them. Maybe they’ll think you work for Exo and simply delivering drinks.

“I think that fans suspect something” Minho whispered as you giggled.

“Who knows, maybe they think I work for Exo” you whispered back as he chuckled.

“Not dress like that” He said “Way too beautiful to be their assistant” You blushed as you arrived at the tent. Manager Oppa said that he’s informed the guard of your presence so you were able to walk through with Minho in tow. As soon as you walked in, you saw all 12 boys lounging around. Baekhyun noticed you first as he ran to you and put his arm around you.

“Cutie Maknae!” He beamed as you groaned “I’m so glad you’re here”

“Don’t call me that” You whined as everyone’s attention was on you now including your brother’s.

“And who is this?” Baekhyun looked at Minho “Is he your boyfriend?” As soon as he said boyfriend everyone stood up.

“No, he’s not my boyfriend” You said as you lifted up the drinks in your hands “I bought you all drinks and he helped me carry them all here” You smiled at Minho.

“Perfect! I was so thirsty!” Sehun smiled as he and Kai took the drinks from your hands and Minho’s before and distributing them to the group. They all mumbled a thank you as you blushed. Manager Oppa walked in as you grabbed one of the drinks and handed it to him.

“Here, Oppa” You handed him the drink “I know it must be tough taking care of these 12 babies” You spoke as they protested.

He laughed and took the drink “Thank you, Minah-ah” You smiled “Can’t you just be part of our team?” You giggled.

“I guess, I can always give up modelling and become Exo’s Coordi Dongseng” You joked.

“Would you?” Chen asked. “Do it! That way you’re with us all the time!” Some of the members agreed.

You laughed “No!” You told them as they frowned. They continued to drink their drinks as you turned towards Minho and bowed. “Thank you so much for helping me today, Minho-ssi”

Minho blushed and bowed too “Y-you’re welcome, Minah-ssi” You blushed too.

“Oh and thank you for being in my video” You smiled. “Oh wait, where are my manners” You sighed as you turned around to face Exo. “Minho-ssi meet Exo, Exo meet Minho-ssi” You smiled as Minho and Exo bowed.

“Which one is your brother?” Minho asked.

“All of us!” Baekhyun stood up. “She has 12 brothers” He smiled.

You pushed Baekhyun aside and pointed towards your real brother who was quite in the corner. “That’s my real Oppa, Minseok Oppa” You smiled as Minho to your brother.

“I-I better get going, Minah-ssi” Minho smiled. “It was nice to meet you” You smiled as you nodded.

“It was nice to meet you too” You told him as he slipped something in your hand before bowing for the last time and walked out of the tent.

You looked down at your hand and unfolded the piece of paper, it was his number. Immediately you blushed, flattered that he would do that.

“That’s his number isn’t it?” Sehun smirked as you tucked the paper inside your bag. You blushed and nodded.

“Are you going to call him?” Luhan asked as he smiled.

“I don’t know, maybe” You shrugged as you sat down next to your brother. You wanted to fix things between you two but before you could say a word, Manager Oppa called your name.

“Minah-ah, can I speak to you outside for a moment?” He smiled at you as you got up and followed him.

“Is everything alright?” You asked him as he faced you before smiling.

“Congratulations!” He said.

“For what, Oppa?” You asked.

“Etude House” He smirked as you smiled “I just got the call now, have you told the boys yet?”

You shook your head “No, not yet but maybe later” You smiled “Is it okay if I tell them, Oppa?” You asked him.

“Fine by me” He laughed. “Oh Minseok-ah, is everything alright?” He said as you turned around and saw that your  brother was behind you.

“Yes Hyung, but I was wondering if I could talk to Minah-ah for a minute” He asked before Manager Oppa nodded and headed back inside.

For a few seconds, it was silent. “I’m sorry” You both said at the same time then laughed.

“Why are you sorry?” My brother asked “You didn’t do anything wrong”

I shook my head “No, I was rude to you” You sighed “I’m sorry, Oppa” You frowned. You hated fighting with your brother.

“Pabo” Your brother whispered before he pulled you into a hug “You didn’t do anything wrong, it was all Oppa’s fault” You hugged him tighter.

“Oppa’s really sorry” He continued as you nodded and pulled away “Apology accepted, Oppa” You both smiled as you hugged once more. “I missed you! On my next day off, let’s go out” He told you “Just you and me” he continued as you agreed with him.

“So what did Manager Hyung talk to you about?” My brother asked me.

“Just to see if I was alright from this morning” You told him as you smiled. You weren’t ready to tell him just yet.

“Shall we head back inside?” You suggested as you both walked back in.

For the next few hours you watched your brother and his friends, film their cf. it was for a mobile phone. You stood next to Manager Oppa and watched them silently. After what felt like a long time, they finally wrapped up. As everybody packed away everything, you and Exo headed towards the vans.

“We’ve finished early today” Suho smiled as you made your way home. “We get to have free time” He continued as the boys in the van cheered.

“What should we do, tonight?” D.O asked.

“Why don’t we show Minah where we hang out at night?” Baekhyun suggested as they looked at you.

You smiled “Sounds good to me”

You finally arrived home and as soon as the door was opened, everybody made their way towards the couches and collapsed. You smiled as Lay made some room next to him for you to sit. You blushed as you sat next to him.

“Okay listen up, this is the plan for tonight” Suho spoke. “Kyungsoo will cook dinner then after dinner we will go to the Han River to hang and to show Minah around” He looked at you as everybody agreed.

“You’re cooking dinner, Kyungsoo Oppa?” You asked him as he nodded. “I bet it’ll be delicious” You smiled as he blushed.

“It probably won’t be as good as yours” He said as you shook your head.

“Whatever Oppa makes is the best to me” You told him as he blushed.

“Stop killing the man, Minah” Sehun smirked “Can’t you see you’re making Hyung blush” D.O threw a pillow at the maknae’s head.

“No dinner for you” He told him as you laughed.

“Okay, why don’t everyone change into comfier clothes and I’ll help Kyungsoo with dinner” Suho smiled as everyone made their way into their rooms.

“Do you want to change first, sis?” Your brother asked you as you shook your head “You guys go ahead, I’ll go after” Minseok Oppa smiled at you before nodding.

As everyone got busy getting changed, you sat on the couch and the television.

“What are you watching?” Somebody asked you. You turned around and saw Lay Oppa next to you, all changed.

You smiled at him “Some drama” You told him as each member walked back towards the living room. Then a cf was shown on TV with Exo as the lead. It was for a game and you couldn’t help but giggle as you watched them dance. When it was done, you faced them.

“Boong, boong, boong!” You sang as you smirked. “Could you guys dance it for me?” You asked them as they all said no.

You laughed “What’s the game for anyways?” You asked them “What is Kakao?”

“You don’t know what Kakao is?” Kai asked you as you shook your head.

“It’s like a messenger” Lay explained “It’s really big in Korea”

“Oh” You nodded.

“Here, give me your phone” Baekhyun asked you as you handed him your phone “I’ll download it for you” While he did that, the rest of you talked.

“Done!” He announced as he gave it back to you. When you took a long at the phone, you couldn’t help but giggle.

“Oppaaaaa” You whined as you looked at him “Why is your face my wallpaper?” You asked him.

“So you can stare at my pretty face all day!” He smirked. “I also added my number, just in case you needed rescuing”

Then all of a sudden your phone was passed around as each member saved their numbers on your phone. When the last person saved their number, Kai he handed it back to you.

“Now, you have all our numbers” Kris smiled.

“Just call us and we’ll come rescue you!” Chanyeol smirked.

You giggled “Wahhh, I really do have 12 brothers now” You smiled.

“Just 11” Kai smirked “I’m still working on being your Prince Charming”

You threw a pillow at him and stood up “Ew too cheesy” You walked away “I’m going to go get changed and when I come back, I expect Prince Charming to be gone” You laughed.

 

You walked out and saw the boys, half of them on their laptops and some of them on their phone.

“Whatcha doing?” You asked them as Sehun looked at you, mouth agape. “What?” You asked him.

“Why do you always look so good?” He smiled as you blushed.

“Stop it” You said.

“It’s true though” Baekhyun said “You always look beautiful even in everyday clothes” This time you were really blushing.

“I-I’m going to go help in the kitchen” You said and made your towards the kitchen. You don’t know how much more of this you can take. They’re good looking and the fact that they compliment you made your heart flutter.

 

“Hi!” You greeted Kyungsoo and Suho Oppa who were currently preparing dinner. “Do you need any help?” You asked them as they shook their heads. You frowned. “Okay, I’ll keep you two company” You said as you hopped on the kitchen counter, sat down and watched as Kyungsoo Oppa cooked.

You sniffed the scent “Wahhh, it smells so good Oppa!” You smiled.

Kyungsoo smiled “Do you want to taste?” He asked you as you nodded eagerly.

He scooped some of the soup before facing you “Ahhh” He said as you followed him.

“Hmm, oh my goodness” You moaned “So good!” You smiled as he blushed and said thanks. After a while you saw Suho Oppa preparing some of the vegetables. You hopped off the counter and walked towards him.

“Boo!” You whispered as Suho faced you.

He chuckled “Hello” He began washing the lettuces. You took some in your hands and helped him wash it.

“You looked really cool today, Oppa” You told him as you washed the vegetables.

He blushed before speaking “Really?  Thanks”

“Yeah, the whole bad boy image kinda suits you” You admitted as you blushed. You both continued to clean the lettuces as you stole glances at each other and every time you got caught, you would blush and Suho did the same. After dinner was cooked, everyone left straightaway and before you knew it , you all arrived at the park.

“Wow” You stared at the river. “It’s so pretty here” You smiled as everyone spit into groups to do their own thing.

“Do you want to go for a walk?” You heard someone asked you.

You smiled at Suho and nodded. The two of you walked away from the group and walked alongside Han River. “So is true that this is like the go to place for dates?” You asked Suho as you continued to walk.

He chuckled “Yeah I guess you can say that”

“Oppa, do you have a girlfriend?” You asked him, you looked at him waiting for an answer.

“No, I don’t” Suho smiled at you.

“I find that hard to believe” You giggled “Oppa, you’re like perfect” You said as you shivered. It wasn’t your brightest moment, forgetting to bring a jacket. You rubbed your hands together to generate some heat. You found a bench “Oppa, let’s sit there” You smiled at Suho as you made your way towards the bench and sat down. You were still cold, so you tucked your hands underneath you to keep them warm.

“Are you cold?” Suho asked you.

“A little bit” You admitted “I should have brought a jacket” You huffed.

Suho took his jacket off before draping it over your shoulders, before you can protest he assured you that it was fine. You smiled and thanked him before you put your arms through the holes and the warmth instantly welcomed you.

“Oppa, do you have any regrets?” You suddenly asked him as you continued to stare at the river.

You waited till he answered. “Disappointing my parents” He whispered as you looked at him.

“Disappointed? How?” You asked him then cleared your throat “Oh you don’t have to answer that, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to pry” You added.

“It’s fine” He smiled. “I disappointed them when I became an idol” he admitted. “My parents are both teachers, education is a big deal to them and when I dropped that to pursue this career” He sighed “I let them down”  It was quiet again as you sighed.

“Oppa, do you love what you do?” You asked him.

“Yes” He answered with no hesitation.

“Then, you didn’t disappoint anybody” You told him as he looked at you “As long as you love what you do, any doubters that might appear will learn to love it too because they love you” You faced him. “Oppa, I’m sure your parents aren’t disappointed” You smiled at him “You should invite them to one of your shows someday”

He chuckled “My mom will love you” He admitted as he blushed.

You turned your body towards him “Suho Oppa, Fighting!” You smiled.

He nodded “What about you?” He asked you as you wiped the smile on your face off.

“I do” You sighed “Trusting him” You said as you close your eyes.

“Him?” He asked “Who is he?”

You shook your head before opening your eyes “Another story, another day” You smiled as you got up “Let’s go see what the others are up to, Oppa” You began to walk back as Suho caught up with you. He knew that whatever story you have, you weren’t ready to share it yet. He would wait until you were comfortable enough to share it with him. You two walked back and saw the whole group on the basketball court. Chanyeol spotted you and Suho.

“Hey, come here! We’re going to play!” He smiled as he called you over.

“So 6 against 6” Chen said.

“We’re uneven” Sehun said. You were about to take yourself out of the game when Suho spoke up “I’ll be the referee” He smiled “Minah, you should play” You smiled and nodded.

“Are you sure, you can handle it?” Sehun and Kai smirked as everybody walked towards the centre of the court.

“Should I go tell them, you were the captain of your basketball team in America?” Minseok Oppa whispered to you as you shook your head smirked.

“Let them learn their lesson” You told your brother as you walked back towards Suho Oppa and handed him your beanie before tying your hair up in a ponytail.

“Okay, who are the captains?” Kris asked

“How about Sehun and Minah?” Kai smirked. Oh just wait, you were going to wipe that smirk off of his pretty little face soon.

“Sure” You smiled. You chose your teams. On your team were Minseok, Kyungsoo, Yixing, Baekhyun and Tao and on Sehun’s team were Kai, Kris, Chen, Chanyeol and Luhan.

“Why don’t we make this more interesting?” Sehun suggested as everyone looked at him. “A bet”

“I don’t know if that’s such a good idea, Sehun-ah” Yixing said.

“Don’t worry Hyung, it’ll only affect the captains” He continued as he looked at you before smirking once again.

“Fine, you’re on” You challenged. “What’s the bet?”

“Winner, will pick their own punishment for the loser” Sehun said.

You nodded “Game on”

For the first few minutes of the game, you let Sehun’s team earn points pretending that you didn’t know how to play. Minseok walked beside you before whispering.

“So when are you going to start playing?” Your brother asked you “We’re kind of losing”

“Don’t worry Oppa, I got this” You smiled before grabbing the ball. You made your way towards the hoop before dunking, earning points for your team.

The boys cheered as you looked at Sehun “Lucky shot” You told him.

As the game continued, Sehun realised that he was losing. When the game ended, Suho walked over to us and handed everybody a bottle of water. As everyone sat down in the middle of the court forming a circle, Kris spoke first.

“Wow so you can play basketball” He smiled at you “What can’t you do?” You laughed.

“So I guess that’s makes me the winner” You looked at Sehun with a smirk on my face.

“Whatever” Sehun mumbled as I laughed “So what’s my punishment?” He asked me.

Everybody looked at you, waiting for your punishment “Your punishment is to take me out” You looked at him.

Sehun smirked “If you wanted to go out on the date with me Minah, you should have just asked me”

You rolled your eyes “No you idiot, I just want to see Seoul” You laughed “You’ll be my tour guide”

Sehun chuckled “Alright, next time we’re both free it’s a date” He smirked once again.

After that it was quiet before you remembered you still had something to tell the guys.

“So anything new with you guys?” You asked them as you saw Tao smile and nodded.

“We got a new deal today” He said.

“Oh yeah?” You asked “What is it?”

“You’re looking at the new faces of Etude House” Chen spoke.

“Wow, congratulations!” You told them.

“And it gets better!” Chanyeol said “We get to work with a girl. Just one but I’m excited to find out who she is”

You couldn’t help but giggle “Who do you think it is?” You asked them.

“I don’t know but I’m hoping it’s Dara Noona” Chanyeol blushed.

“Wasn’t she already a model in the past?” Suho asked as Chanyeol shrugged.

“One can dream” He mumbled as you giggled, you couldn’t hold it in any longer you had to tell them.

“It’s me” You mumbled.

“What?” Your brother asked you.

You stood up getting ready to run; you knew that they were going to hunt you for not telling them sooner.

“I’m the new face of Etude House” You smiled as they all stood up.

“WHAT?!” Most of them yelled.

“Why didn’t you tell us?!” It was your brother who yelled this time but before you could run away he had your head in a headlock and messed up your hair.

“Oppa, my hair” You whined as you pulled away from him.

 Baekhyun tackled you into a hug. “We’re going to be working together! This is so exciting”

You smiled as you both jumped up and down “I know, we get to work together!”

“We should celebrate!” Tao suggested “Let’s get food!” Everyone agreed as we all walked together.

 

You groaned as you heard your phone go off. You blindly patted the bed side table and answered it.

“Hello” You groaned as you heard your best friend squealed.

“Hyeri-ah” You cried as you sat up “Too loud”

“Sorry” She giggled “But I have great news”

“What you realised you love Luhan?” You asked her

“W-what?” She stuttered before you giggled. “Anyways, get ready to see me babe!”

You gasped “What?!” You screamed before covering your mouth after you realised your brother was in the same room.

She laughed “Yup, I’m going on a vacation! Seoul here I come!”

You were so excited now “How long are you staying here? When are you coming here?” You asked her.

“I’m staying for a month and I will be arriving in a week!” She told you. A week was enough for you to get ready for your best friend’s arrival and your new apartment should be finished by them.

“I’m so excited!” You smiled.

“Me too!” Hyeri laughed “Hey babes, I gotta go” You nodded “I’ll talk to you later, good luck on your contract signing!” As you both hung up. You were so excited for the arrival of your best friend that you decided to start the day. As you got up, you realised that your brother was not in the room. You opened the door and went straight to the bathroom and freshened up before walking towards the living room. I guess everybody was already awake as I walked towards the kitchen.

“Good morning!” You greeted everyone as you sat next Yixing Oppa. You were still half sleepy as Kyungsoo Oppa placed a plate in front of you before ruffling your hair. “Have I overslept?” You asked them.

Your brother shook his head “No, we’re still good for time. You seemed really tired anyways”

You smiled as you placed your head on Lay’s arm and closed your eyes. “The time change is messing me up” You heard Lay chuckle before putting his arm around you so you were more comfortable.

“Feed me please” You mumbled cutely as Lay laughed.

“Her cuteness comes out when she’s tired too” Your brother smirked but you didn’t have the energy to answer back. Next thing you smelled pancakes as Lay started to feed you. You smiled and ate as he continued to do so.

“I love you, Yixing Oppa” You smiled “Why can’t you be my older brother instead?” You mumbled as you heard your brother protest.

“Here” Suho said as he handed you a cup of coffee.

You smiled and took it “Thank you” You began to drink the coffee, feeling more awake after a few minutes. You sat on your chair properly before thanking Lay for looking after you.

“Oh Minseok Oppa, guess what?” You told your brother “Hyeri-ah is coming to visit next week!” You beamed feeling the excitement once again

“Who’s Hyeri?” One of them members asked.

“My best friend!” You answered. “I can’t wait to introduce her to you guys, you’re going to love her!” You giggled “Cause I know she loves you” You mumbled.

“What?” Chen asked as you got up before hugging Kyungsoo Oppa.

“Thanks for breakfast Oppa, I’m going to go get ready now” You smiled as you quickly ran to your temporary room to get ready. You couldn’t wait till Hyeri got here, You two were dubbed as the troublemakers and you couldn’t wait to prove it. You were digging through your clothes when you got a txt; it was Greg your stylist. He texted you informing you to wear a dress as you were attending a conference after the contract signing to introduce you and Exo and to share the new campaign.

You walked out and saw that the boys were ready. You smiled as you entered the living room.

“Wow” You said as you saw the boys, dressed up.

“Wow, yourself” Yixing smiled as he took your hand and twirled you. You giggled “You look absolutely stunning” He smiled as you blushed. You were glad that you found someone you could get close to so quickly.

“But seriously” You fanned you face “I think I just fell in love” You told them as they blushed.

“Finally!” Kai smirked as he hugged you. You giggled and pushed him away “And the love is gone” You joked as he chuckled. You looked around and saw that member was missing. “Where is Suho Oppa?” You asked as the member shrugged. You walked towards his room and saw that the door was open. You peeked in “Suho Oppa?” You called out.

“In here” You heard him say as you walked in. He turned around and smiled “Did you-“ He stopped and stared at you “Minah, you look beautiful” He commented as you blushed. As he stared at you, you felt your heart beating fast and butterflies in your stomach. What on earth was this feeling?

He must have realised that he was still staring before he looked away and spoke again “Did you need something?”

You shook your head although he couldn’t see you as he turned his back to you “Just wanted to check to see if you were alright” You laughed as you saw him, struggling with his tie. You didn’t know what possessed you to go over to him and fixed his tie for him. You were currently doing so as he was staring at you. You couldn’t focus as you felt his gaze on you. Finally after a few seconds, you finished and looked at him. He was staring right back, neither one of you breaking the gaze. A sound by the door made you both look away. You saw Kyungsoo with a smirk on his face “Manager Hyung, is on his way here” Both you and Suho nodded. Kyungsoo looked at you both one more time before leaving.

You stepped back as Suho placed his hand on the back of his neck “Uh thanks” He smiled as you nodded “Where did you learn how to tie a tie?” He asked you as you paled.

“Uh I used to do it for somebody” You said. Your ex-boyfriend always wore a tie to work and you’ve watched him enough times to learn how to tie a tie. You shuddered as you were reminded of your ex.

“You okay?” Suho asked as he sensed your discomfort.

You looked at him and smiled “I’m okay!” You laughed it off “Should we go, before they leave us behind” You joked as you both walked out the room.

Back in the living room, you walked out and saw Kyungsoo staring at you with a smirk on his face. You sat down next to Luhan who smiled at you before focusing his attention back on his phone. You felt your phone vibrate and blushed. Kyungsoo Oppa has sent you a text

K- Kyungsoo Oppa….M-Minah

K- Someone has the hots for our leader ;)

M- I don’t know what you’re talking about.

K- Oh come on, I know what I saw

M- And what is that?

K- You were pretty much ing him up with your eyes

“Oppa!” You screamed suddenly before everyone stared at you.

“Minah-ah, are you okay?” It was that stupid Kyungsoo who asked you with a smirk on his face.

M- I hate you.

You heard Kyungsoo laugh before replying.

K- Whatever, you love me. Just go for it I say.

M- What?

K- Go make a move on our dear leader ;)

M- I will not be making any move.

K- Oh I get it, you want him to make the move. Alright I got it, I’ll tell him.

You gasped before throwing a pillow at D.O’s face as he laughed. “What was that for?” Your brother asked you as you blushed.

“He beat me on boong boong boong” You smiled as D.O continued to laugh.

M- I’m going to kill you.

K- Good luck with that, darling ;)

M- I’m going to use your new pots and pans and I’m going to burn water.

This time it was D.O who gasped as you smirked “I win!” You smiled.

 

Sitting in the van next to someone who you may or may not have feelings for was proving to be difficult. As you sat next to Suho, you couldn’t help but smell his scent which made your knees weak. You had a thing for guys who smelled good. However Manager Oppa interrupted your thoughts when he called your name.

“I think we should tell everyone in this conference that Minseok is your brother” He said. “That’ll explain why you’ve been hanging out with them” He smiled at you. “Are you alright with that?”

You smiled and nodded “I am, are you alright with that Minseok Oppa?” You asked your brother.

“Hmm, I don’t know” He smirked at you “Wouldn’t want to ruin my rep”

You scoffed “What rep?” You told him “You’re just a panda”

He turned around “Hey!” You giggled “I’m a cute panda, thank you very much” He pouted “Right Lulu?” He asked his best friend who nodded and patted his head.

You continued to laugh as your phone rang. You looked at the screen and saw your best friend’s name.

“Well hello there” You answered as you she told you about her day. After a while you decided to mess with your best friend. You put the phone on speaker and gestured for the members to remain quiet.

“So how’s the Exo research going?” As you said this everyone in the van looked at you as you smiled.

“Oh my goodness Minah they are perfect!” She giggled as you bit your lip, trying not to laugh. “I love all their songs” She continued “And Luhan” At this Luhan looked shocked as your best friend mentioned his name. “Luhan is perfection” She sighed as you giggled

“Perfection, huh?” You smirked at Luhan who blushed.

“Yes!” Hyeri said “Like when he was singing in Chinese, I wanted to speak Chinese” You laughed as the members tried not to make their presence known. “I mean I’m Korean and I don’t even speak Korean enough but when I heard him sing in Chinese, I wanted to understand every word” She sighed again “Ahhh I think I’m in love” She giggled.

“Thank you” Luhan spoke as you heard Hyeri gasped.

“Minah?” She asked you.

“Yeah?” You squeaked.

“A-Am I on speaker?” She asked you as you giggled.

“Yeah” You said as she gasped.

“Yah! How can you do that to me?!” She cried “How many of them heard me?”

“A few of us” Sehun spoke.

“Oh my goodness, I’m going to kill you Minah!” She declared.

I laughed “I’m sorry! If it helps, Luhan heard it” You said.

“That doesn’t help!” She cried.

“Hyeri-ssi?” Luhan spoke.

“Uh yeah?” She said.

“I just wanted to say thank you for what you said” Luhan smiled “And I can’t wait till I meet you when you get here” You smiled at Luhan.

“See, everything is alright” You told your best friend.

“I’m going to kill you.” Hyeri told you “Two can play at that game” She said as you looked at the screen.

“Didn’t you say that you had a crush on a member or two?” She blurted out before everyone looked at you.

You blushed before speaking “Oh look, we’re here!” You laughed “Gotta go, Hyeri. Talk to you later!” You said before you hung up.

“What was that all about?” Suho asked you as you shook your head.

“Yeah Minah-ah, what was that all about?” Kyungsoo repeated you as he was smirking, that jerk.

“N-nothing” You mumbled as the van door was opened.

“It didn’t sound like nothing to me” Kyungsoo said as you all got out. Yup you were going to destroy his pots and pans tonight.

You finally arrived at the building and you and Exo were immediately directed towards the conference room. When you got inside you noticed that it was empty, your team was nowhere to be seen. Perfect, you needed to tell them about Minseok before the press conference.

“I’ll be right back” You told Exo as you exited the room. You walked down the hall until you spotted Greg. “Oppa!” You called out to him as he turned around and hugged you. He looked at you and asked you to spin around.

“You look beautiful, Minah” Greg said “You don’t even need my help” You blushed.

“Uh where is everyone?” You asked him, he pointed to the room behind him as you dragged him in there.

“Hello, Minah” YoonMi greeted you. “You look beautiful”

“Thank you Unnie” You smiled.

“Ya! Apparently Exo’s here” Bora said as she checked her phone. She got up “Let’s go, see them”

“Wait” You told them as they looked at you “I have something I need to say” You bit your lip “It’s about me and Exo”

Suho’s POV

Yup I definitely had feelings for Minah. When she complimented me last night about the cf shoot, I couldn’t help but feel joy. When she was next to me, helping me in the kitchen I couldn’t help but feel my heart flutter. It’s official; I have feelings for my friend’s little sister. When the two of us walked alone by the Han River, I couldn’t help but imagine that we were on a date and we were taking a romantic stroll around the park. I really wanted to hold her hand. When I gave her my jacket, I couldn’t help but feel proud that she was wearing my jacket because I felt like that made her mine. When we were talking about my regrets, I couldn’t help but feel that she had some painful memories and I wanted to be the one to help her forget them. Then when she woke up this morning and sat next to Yixing and watching Yixing feed her, I couldn’t help but feel jealous. She made my heart flutter again when she walked into my room looking beautiful. The way she smiled at me gave me butterflies. When she fixed my tie, I couldn’t help but stare at her. I wanted to kiss her so bad. I loved the way she blushed when Kyungsoo walked in as if he caught us doing something we shouldn’t have been doing.

“Minah’s best friend sounds cute” Sehun said

“Ya, she’s mine” Luhan said as the maknae laughed

“Hyung, do you have a little crush on Hyeri?” Sehun asked him as Luhan blushed.

That reminded me, what did Hyeri meant when she said that about Minah? Does she really have a crush on one of us or two? I hoped it was me.

The door opened and Minah walked in with four people behind her. She smiled as she stood in front of us.

“Guys, this is my team” She gestured towards the four people that stood next to her “This is YoonMi, Eunji, Bora and Greg” As the four people bowed and greeted us.

“And this is Exo” Minah smiled, she quickly ran to Minseok’s side “This is my older brother, Minseok Oppa” As everybody greeted each other before finding a seat. Today must be my lucky day because Minah sat next to me. I could smell her perfume, aw man I got it bad.

“It’s nice to meet you all” YoonMi spoke as she smiled at us “I’m Minah’s personal assistant, Greg is her stylist, Bora is her event leader and Eunji is her media rep” She told us as everyone was shocked. She had her own team; she really must be good at what she does.

“And it’s good to meet Minah’s brother, even though we only found out like a minute ago” Bora mumbled.

“You didn’t tell them you have a brother?” Minseok questioned Minah.

“No I did” She said “I just didn’t tell them that you were an Exo member” She giggled “Oops”

“Oops is right” Eunji looked at Minah before smiling “it’s a good thing, you have me as your media rep” Minah giggled and nodded.

“So we should probably talk about the whole siblings thing” Eunji looked at Manager Hyung who nodded before they walked out.

“Bora and Greg, let’s go sort out the press conference” YoonMi announced as all three stood up.

“Do I need to do anything, Unnie?” Minah asked her as she shook your head.

“Then is it okay, if I vlog?” She asked with smile, the smile that’ll kill me someday “I promise, that I won’t say anything bad”

YoonMi giggled before nodding “Go ahead!” She smiled again before walking out.

“Vlog?” I asked Minah as she turned to me and smiled “What’s that?”

“You’ll see” She smiled as she took out a camera and turned it on.

“Hi!” She smiled towards the camera as we all watched her as she continued to speak to the camera.

“So today is an exciting day for me! I’m starting a really exciting project today” She smiled “But I can’t tell you what yet” She giggled. She walked towards me and handed me the camera before facing it towards her and twirled.

“So this is what I’m wearing today” She spoke “Don’t I look pretty?” She giggled as everybody in the room laughed. She sussed everyone before she started speaking.

“Plus I’m working with a group of guys who are special! Well special to me anyways” She said as she looked to the side and winked at us. She then sighed dramatically. “But I can’t reveal who they are yet “Then she gasped “Oh but I can give you guys a clue” She smiled.

We watched as she fiddled around before placing her hands behind her head and said “Awoooo” Then everybody in the room laughed as she laughed too.

“If that doesn’t give you ideas then I don’t know what will” She giggled before grabbing the camera off of me and whispered a thank you.

“ Okay, that’s it for now and I shall go to my meeting and I’ll talk to you guys later!” She sent a kiss towards the camera “Stay beautiful!” Before shutting it off. She walked back to her seat and sat down as if nothing happened.

“So?” Kai asked “What was that?”

Minah looked at us and smiled “I have a YouTube channel and I update it with daily video blogs” She smiled at us.

“Awooo?” Minseok smirked as he looked at her sister.

“Shut up” Minah mumbled before blushing. As she sat down next to me, I noticed that she was shaking.

“Are you okay?” I asked her as she turned to me.

“I’m sort of nervous” She admitted.

“About the press conference?” I asked her as she nodded.

“What If I say the wrong thing, Oppa?” She asked me.

I shook my head “You won’t, you’ll be fine”

“Will you sit next to me, Oppa?” She looked at me again “P-Please” She stuttered.

“Of course” I smiled as she tackled me into a hug which I gladly returned.

“Thank you, Oppa” She pulled away.

I was about to say something else when a man, dressed in a suit walked in. Minah immediately stood up and bowed.

“President” Minah said as she smiled. I looked at the man before me. He was well dressed and he looked young, he was the President of this company? I gulped as I saw the way Minah looked at him. Is this the kind of guy she’s into?

The guy walked in and smiled at us as we did our greetings.

“Please sit” He gestured, as he sat down.

 

“How are you, Minah-ssi?” HaJoon asked her.

“I’m good” She smiled at him.

“So I hear one of the members is your brother?” He asked her as she nodded.

“Yeah” She mumbled “I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you sooner” She bit her lip, which meant that she was nervous.

HaJoon laughed “It’s not a problem” She smiled as she walked towards Minseok and properly introduced him to her boss.

Soon Minah’s team and Manager Hyung walked back in to begin the contract signing. A representative of Etude House was there too. After we signed the contracts, we were informed that it was time for the press conference. As we were walking towards the room, I saw Minah next to me shaking. I don’t know why I did it but I grabbed her hand and squeezed it as she looked back and smiled at me, neither one of us letting go until we got to the room.

Your POV

As you walked towards the press conference, you couldn’t help but feel nervous. You never liked talking to reporters because you were always afraid that you were going to say the wrong thing. You felt someone grabbed your hand; you looked up and saw Suho smiling at you. You were glad he was there. You didn’t let go of his hand until you got to the room. As soon as the doors opened, you were blinded by the flash of lights. You and Exo walked inside and you ended up sitting in the middle with your brother and Suho sitting on either side of you as promised. You smiled as the questions began.

“What made you decide to move back to Korea?” A reporter asked you “When your career in America was blossoming” He looked at you. You gulped when you felt yourself getting nervous. However under the table, where no one could see you felt Suho grabbed your hand and squeezed it. You looked at him as he continued to look ahead. You smiled and spoke. This was your chance to let them know who your brother is.

“Actually it was because of my brother” You said as you felt Minseok staring at you, you never told him why you moved back here. “I have an older brother and I missed him too much” You giggled as you heard the crowd share an ‘aw’

“I hope your brother knows this” The reported chuckled. Perfect.

“Actually you can tell him yourself” You smiled as you looked at Minseok. There were murmurs before the same reporter spoke again.

“Xiumin-ssi is your brother?” He asked as you nodded before nudging your brother

Minseok chuckled and spoke “Yes it’s true, Minah is my baby sister”

“Are you excited to be working with her?”

My brother laughed and nodded “I’m very excited, I’m happy that her first project is with Exo”

“Minah-ssi” Another reporter called your name “Do you like Exo?” She asked you as you heard Exo laugh and look at you, waiting for your answer.

You laughed and pretended to think before Baekhyun commented “Yah! This is supposed to be an easy question” He said as everyone laughed.

“Yes, I love Exo” You smiled “They’re all really cool guys”

“Who’s your favourite member?” Someone asked “Excluding your brother!”

You groaned “That’s difficult” You laughed.

“Is it me?” Chanyeol spoke as everybody laughed.

“Sorry Chanyeol Oppa” You pouted “But I’m going to have to go with Lay Oppa!” You said as Chen comforted Chanyeol.

“What do you think about that?” The reporter asked Lay.

“She’s my favourite out of all of Xiumin Hyung’s siblings” Lay answered as we all laughed.

“She’s my only sibling” Minseok added

“Exactly” Lay smiled.

“Alright, next question”

Another reporter stood up “So who’s your ideal type in Exo?” She asked as you blushed.

“Oh” you giggled as you blushed. “Uh that’s hard, everyone is such a good choice”

“Listen to your heart” Sehun smirked as you looked at him. I am going to kill the maknae tonight.

You laughed nervously as you looked at the crowd and searched for Eunji’s face. You found her and looked at her as she gave you thumbs up. It’s was okay to answer this, it’s a harmless question.

“My ideal type is” You smiled “Suho Oppa” You said as Exo reacted. You blushed again.

“Okay next question” For the next few minutes the conference went on. You were still processing what you said. Did you just practically admit to everybody that you liked Suho? Finally the press conference was coming to an end as they asked you and Suho to say some last words. Suho went first. You listened as he spoke, his voice was so charming. You realised it was your turn.

“I’m excited to be working with Exo to represent Etude House and please anticipate more projects in the future, Fighting!” You smiled as the conference ended.

However throughout the conference you forgot about one thing, the whole entire time Suho was holding your hand and you were holding his and neither one of you let go.
