I wake up late today. It’s almost seven o’clock in the morning. I get hurry to prepare myself. Ah a year has passed and I am still the same Kwon Yuri. Still the careless Kwon Yuri. I clean my face and take a quick bath, then I walk into the dining room. I see all EXO M members already eat their breakfast.

“Yuri ah, how many times that I told you that you maybe fire if you still late like this?” EXO M manager Oppa gives me a plate of Beijing fried rice, his favorite dish.

“Yah, Oppa. I didn’t mean it. I am just late because...”

“Because you have to learn that SNSD new dance move right?”

Yeah, he’s right. I have to learn it. Mr. Lee Soo Man si send me every SNSD new dance move. He doesn’t want to be to be stiff and loss my sense of dance. But I am still the lead dancer of SNSD, Kwon Yuri.

‘’What song this time?”

“Ah, it’s Mr. Mr.”

“Oh the new song for your comeback, right?”

“Neh.”

I continue to eat my fried rice because I don’t want to be late. But then something go through on my mind. It is about this weekend. I am as a volunteer in a orphanage have to do something for charity music festival.

“So, can one of you perform with me this weekend?”

“You know, for this, I think Luhan and Kris are the exception. I mean they are famous in China so if they go to perform, it will be a huge chaos so I don’t think it’s a wise decision.” Manager Oppa said.

“Then how about Yixing?” I suggested.

“Yixing is okay. My suggestion is you should choose between Jongdae or Minseok since they are both not Chinese so it’s a save option.” Manager Oppa suggested.

“Jongdae or Minseok... I think it’s not bad too. So who’s willing to do it with me? Jongdae? Minseok?”

“I think it should be Jongdae, Noona.” Minseok said.

“Yeah, I think I can because I have no jobs in this weekend.” Jongdae said.

“Yeiy, Jongdae ah. Gumawo.”

“Neh, neh. Just eat your breakfast as quick as possible. We’re almost late because of you, Yuri.” Manager Oppa said.

“Yes, sir.”

I eat quickly then I walk into the car where they already have waited for me. It has been a year since I left Seoul. I feel like it has passed thousand years. I really miss them so much.  To be apart from Seoul, it doesn’t mean that I don’t know what have happened in there. I keep contact Jonghyun to find it out. He even calls me every night.

“Miss them again huh?” Kris asked. I bet he sees my tears, that’s why he asked me.

“Yeah, a little bit. I think I always cry when I think about them.”

“Yeah, you cry even more when you think about him.” Kris said.

Him? Donghae Oppa? Yes, he’s right. I won’t pretend it. I really miss him so much. I am not sure if he miss me too, but in my deep heart I really miss him till I cry a lot every night.

“I think you should go back to Seoul to meet him. I think that it will be better for you, Yuri ah.” Well he didn’t call me Noona anymore since we are close as friends now. And I let him drop formality to me.

“Yuri, it almost one year, you should fulfill your promise to go back to SNSD like you said to me a year ago.” He continued his words.

“I am still not sure about it but I will think it, okay?”

I smile to him, then he smiled back at me too. We always like this for this past year. He is a good listener to all my stories. We even share every detail of our life. I don’t know if I can survive if it’s not because of him. But it doesn’t mean that I am not close with the other EXO M members too. The rest of the members are just like dongsaeng to me. But with Kris, I feel like he’s a friend instead a dongsaeng.

“Ah, Yuri Noona.” Jongdae said.

“Yes, Jongdae ah...” I answered back.

“About the singing thing. I think we should rehears first.”

“Neh, I think so. This event will hold in two days after today, so I guess tonight is the right time to practice it.”

“What about tomorrow?” Jongdae asked.

“No, tomorrow will be a final rehearse for everyone, so I don’t think it’s the right time for us to do it.”

“Why not?”

“You are a superstar now, I bet if you appear tomorrow night, the rehearse will be a huge chaos. Besides I want to make surprise for everyone in that special performance.”

“Fine, fine. Up to you, Yuri. Anyway, here we go, the kindergarten”

I look to my right side. Ah, he’s right. I am in the front of the kindergarten right now. I walk out from the car.

“Bye-bye. See you tonight at 8 pm in the hall, Kim Jongdae.”

I wave to them and they wave back too. I watch the car disappear first, before I walk to the kindergarten. It almost a year for me to become this kindergarten’s teacher. I never imagined that I can find a stable job in this city.
