After a few minutes, her hair was done. Milan was actually satisfied with how it turned out. Her hair was in a layered cut with her hair reaching only her shoulders. Her hair had side bangs and the hairstyle reminded her when she was still in high school. She was kind of sad the hair she tried so hard to grow was cut by Sora but she tried to see this as a new start.

“What do you think?” The woman asked, combing Milan’s hair. “It’s… daebak,” Milan said with a smile on her face. Her smile was more visible now than it was before. “It’s my pleasure to do this,” the woman whispered into her ear. “Please have some patience with Bammie. That poor boy still doesn’t think he belongs here with all the Koreans around him so I’m glad he met someone who might understand what he’s going through,” she added. “But I’m not Thai.”

“You don’t need to be. You just have to understand him. He’s away from his family like you are. He used to be just a dancer, now he’s an idol like you were just a student that turned into a composer. I’m sure you’ll get along. Now, go on. I don’t want Bammie to wait,” the woman pushed Milan out of her seat that forced her to stand up.

“Bammie, too a loo! Have fun with that girl,” the woman said as she pushed Milan and BamBam out of the shop. “That was pretty weird. Well, I guess I have to go. The boys are waiting for me,” Milan said as she turned to the direction of her dorm. “Are you just going to leave me alone?” BamBam pouted which made Milan laugh. “Just give me a peck on the cheek,” he pointed his cheek and lowered himself to Milan’s eye level.

“Stupid, I’m not that kind of girl. I don’t give my kisses easily. Just text me whenever, BamBam,” Milan tossed a business card towards BamBam. “If you want to hang out or something,” she said before walking. “Hope I’ll see you again, Milan! And you look good in that haircut,” he shouted which made Milan blush a bit.

Milan then arrived at the dorm and found the boys in the living room, forming a circle. “What did I miss?” She asked, still wearing her bonnet. “Luhan-hyung kissing the floor and Kai doing a y dance in front of Sehun,” Baekhyun told her before laughing. “Mind if I join?” Milan asked, sitting down on the floor. “Please do,” Baekhyun smirked at Chanyeol.

Milan sat between the two maknaes, Tao and Sehun. Kris then spun the bottle and it pointed at Suho. “Truth or dare?” Lay asked. “Truth,” Suho said. “How did you and Mil-ah meet?” Lay asked. He was really curious since Suho was the first one to meet her. “I was waiting for her in Mr Lee’s office and let me just say she was really late and Mr Lee told me about his vacation with his family then telling me what kind of girl Mil-ah is and when she came in, she muttered Mianhe and went to the seat across me. She introduced herself politely but I knew she was cold. She and Mr Lee had a small argument in English that I hardly understood. In the end, she nodded with a frown in her face.”

All of the members looked at Milan, contemplating on the question they would ask her when it was her turn. The bottle spun again and pointed at Sehun. “Dare,” he said. “Tie your hair in a pineapple style,” Luhan said which made the members laugh. Chanyeol almost slapped his knees as he heard that. Sehun nodded and borrowed from Milan an elastic band. “Would you?” Sehun asked as he bowed his head down.

“My pleasure,” Milan said as she tied Sehun’s hair. “You look pretty like a girl,” Kai pointed out. Sehun just eye smiled at him but everyone knew he’ll get revenge on his beloved hyung. The bottle spun and spun and it was the turn Baekhyun waited. It was Chanyeol’s turn to say the truth or do a dare. “Dare,” he said.

Baekhyun smirked. “Tell Mil-ah you love her. Tell her saranghae~” Baekhyun chimed. The boys knew where Baekhyun was getting to but Chanyeol easily turned to Milan and said,” Saranghae, Mil-ah.” What took him off guard was Milan saying,” I love me too.” The boys burst into laughter at the progress. “Nice reply!” Kris made a thumbs up.

Milan chuckled but made a peace sign at Chanyeol, mouthing the word “Saranghae”. Chanyeol would’ve turned red if the others weren’t there but they were there, so he only laughed along with them. Milan knew how she meant that. She loved him as her best friend. Nothing more and nothing less. Chanyeol sighed in his mind.

The bottle spun again and karma was so fast when it pointed at Baekhyun. Chanyeol smirked evilly. “Revenge,” he whispered. “Truth,” Baekhyun said. “Why do you moan before going to sleep?” Chanyeol asked which made Baekhyun red. “Don’t listen to them,” Tao covered Milan’s ears and held her near to his chest. He didn’t want the innocence in Milan’s heart to vanish, but the sad thing to this is Milan doesn’t really have that much innocence.

Milan watched Baekhyun move his mouth and she didn’t understand a thing. After Baekhyun explained why he moans when he goes to sleep. Tao let go of Milan’s ears and smiled at her sheepishly. “Better,” Tao told her and Milan only muttered something in Tagalog.

The bottle spun again and this time it pointed at Milan. The boys looked at each other, since they had many questions to ask her but Xiumin was the first one to talk. “Who’s your bias in EXO-M and EXO-K?” he asked. Milan thought about it for a bit. “Can’t I say you’re all my favourites?” She asked. Xiumin shook his head.

Baekhyun almost teased Chanyeol about his furrowed eyebrows when he was listening carefully to Milan talk but he kept his big mouth shut. “From EXO-M, I have to say…” Milan paused for a moment. “Ever since I knew EXO, Lay-oppa and Luhan-oppa captivated my interest. And from EXO-K…” Chanyeol saw Luhan being all cocky and smiling like an idiot. Of course, he was usually everybody’s favourite. Lay was kind of embarrassed but didn’t show it on his face and just gently smiled at Milan.

Now, this was the moment of truth. Chanyeol will know who Milan’s bias is. “I have to say Kai-oppa and Sehun-oppa. Actually, Kai-oppa was the reason why I even checked out EXO. He looks like my ultimate bias,” Milan almost turned red as she admitted that. Kai was telling the people beside him he was so handsome while Sehun wrapped his arms around Milan’s waist which made her redder.

“Oh Sehun, get away from me,” she said firmly. Sehun did as he was told. He knows how to treat women best since he has a girl best friend. Milan thought it was over when the boys suddenly asked her continuous questions. “Why them?” Kris asked, not actually comfortable with the results. “Obviously…” Milan bit her lower lip.

“I love dancers,” she avoided their gazes. “Ever since from my first bias to the latest, always dancers,” Milan added. “And there aren’t that much though. I’ve only liked SHINee and Super Junior so far,” Milan said as she tapped her chin. “What about EXO?” Suho asked. Milan sheepishly smiled. “Neutral, like how I look at Got7 and SNSD and 2NE1, ya know,” she answered.

“But ah, I always have a bias for boy groups and with girl groups, I like them all equally. Ynna’s the one with the biases with everything,” Milan explained. “If I were a dancer…” Chanyeol muttered. “So let me guess, you like Taemin-ssi?” Kris asked. Milan nodded. “I like Eunhyuk-oppa from Super Junior, Taemin-oppa from SHINee and then there’s BamBam from Got7,” she elaborated.

“No honorific for BamBam-ssi?” Lay rose one of his eyebrows. “A-Ah… Well about that. We’re kinda ahh…” Milan avoided their gazes. “South Asian buddies, like that,” she continued. “How did that happen?” Tao looked at me, amazed. “The cliché start of a love story, girl bumps into boy in the streets but no, no, no, BamBam ain’t gonna be my boyfriend because of personal reasons,” Milan said as she emphasized the word ain’t.
