It had supposed to be a nice day which you were going to spend with your boyfriend. Everything had been perfectly fine and you had been in the best mood when you had gotten his phone call with the question if you might wanted to come over. You had grabbed your coat and your bag before leaving your shared apartment, which felt rather empty without him. Then, while making your way over towards the SM building, where they were practicing at this moment, you had decided that maybe it would be a nice gesture of you to bring the guys some food over. They had deserved a treat after all the hard work they had been doing through during the past few months. It was late, but it wasn’t dark outside so you hadn’t really felt uncomfortable while walking through the streets all by yourself. At least, that had been the case before you had noticed that a similar figure had followed you all the way over here, without loosing you out of sight even once. When you had first noticed him you hadn’t made a very big deal of it, thinking that person was just headed in the same direction as you. But when you had entered a food shop and had bought some sandwiches you had noticed that he had entered soon behind you. He had followed you towards the counter, had waited a few steps away from you while you had been waiting for your order and had followed you outside again as soon as you had left. Not only did it make you extremely uncomfortable that someone was making such efforts to keep up with you. It also scared the crap out of you that you weren’t able to tell who it was, because of his black hoodie and the cap that was drawn far over his face.


It didn’t look like it was someone you knew and you had already tired out your brain while trying to remember if you had ever seen his composure before. But this guy remained a stranger to you. Though, apparently you weren’t a stranger to him, he seemed to know exactly who he was following. Now, you were speeding down the pavement, roughly pushing people towards the side to create a path for you so that you could get out of here. Your heart was beating fast inside of your chest as you tried not to drop the sandwiches, but your hands were shaking. “Hey! Watch where you’re going!” A woman shouted after you and you tried to turn your head to shout back an apology, but changed your mind as soon as you saw the man who was rushing after you. He was trying to get to you and who knew what would happen if he would catch up with you. That thought made you go even faster and when you bumped into someone the bag with food fell down by your feet, but not once did you think of stopping to pick it up. You were sure that once this would all be over you would be devastated that you had wasted that much money on food you hadn’t even been able to give to those it belonged to, but at this point you couldn’t force yourself to care about that. The SM building rose up in front of you and you were panting when you pushed past the big doors and were welcomed by the warmth of the building, joined by the stares of all those who were already inside. A woman who was usually there gave you an unsure look, as if she was wondering if she should help you or not, but you ignored her as you started to search your way towards the practice rooms.


Even though you were sure that your strange follower wouldn’t try anything in a building filled with people, you would only feel safe if you had found your boyfriend. What if he would come in? Or what if he would wait outside until you would come back and would get to you then? The thought made a sob tumble over your lips before you could stop it. Panic was tearing through you and you reached the hallway where you knew their practice room was. The music that was blasting through the speakers was already audible. Normally you would wait outside, until the song would end, before you’d go inside and meet them. One of the things you hated was to interrupt them while they were busy and were working on something. But just the thought that you would have to stay here, standing in this cool and empty hall made you feel terrible. Besides, you were upset and the only thing you wanted right now was the protection of Baekhyun, the only person who would be able to make you feel completely safe right now. Tears clouded your view as you opened the door and were greeted by the sweaty backs of the guys, who were all moving intently on the music and were giving their all. For the slightest moment you seemed to forget why you were this ed up and rushed and the only thing you could do was stare at them. You had only seen the live choreography of their newest song once, and you were still amazed by how difficult these moves seemed to be as they performed them. You watched them, a little dazed as they made a twirl. Though, as soon as the boys faced you and noticed you standing there, their movements stopped as the music continued to blare through the room.


“Noona…” Sehun muttered as soon as he saw you and since you hadn’t checked yourself in any mirror before you had stormed in, you had no idea how you were looking at this point. But by the concerned looks on their faces you could tell that it surely wasn’t good. Suddenly Baekhyun broke free from the group and sped towards you, worry glistering inside of his eyes as he extended his hands towards you. He stilled right in front of you as he placed his large hands on your shoulders, holding you in front of him so that he could have a look at you. “_____________, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” He asked and as soon as he reminded you of the reason why you were looking this horrible you bursted into tears. You hit your hands in front of your watery cheeks as sobs tore free from your throat, all the fear you had felt during the past few minutes coming towards the surface. Everyone seemed truly amazed by your sudden break down and as soon as Kai turned off the music the only thing that could be heard inside of the room was your crying. “Hey hey, ssshhh, it’s okay. Everything is okay, please don’t cry.” By the sound of his voice y
