EXO's Concert

Be With Me (EDITING)

Chen's POV:

I overheard Yixing and Baekhyun's conversation and began to wonder where she had went, as well.  Since the vocal line's stage was up next, I rushed to find her before I had to go and rehearse.  I checked in the bathrooms first and then went back to our rest area.  When I opened the door to the room, I found her on her phone.  I let out a sigh of relief and walked over to her.

"What are you doing back here?" I asked, standing in front of her. 

She looked up and smiled.  "I had to take a phone call."

"Oh.  Well, it's almost time for me to rehearse.  You should come-- I mean, unless you prefer to stay here."

"No, I'll go."

"Okay.  Let's go then.  I have to be on the stage pretty soon."

She nodded and stood up.  We walked out of the room and into the hallways towards the stage.  On our way there, I put my arm around her and started joking with her and making conversation.  She laughed and playfully pushed me away.  Her laugh was so gentle that I couldn't help but smile widely at her.  Just her laugh made my heart warm. 

"We should hang out again some time," I suggested.  "I feel like we don't hang out enough." 

"Yeah, we definitely should hang out more," she agreed and poked my side. 

I jerked away from hand and held the spot where she tickled me.  "Hey, I'm ticklish." 

"Oh, are you?"  She smirked at me and started tickling me like there was no tomorrow. 

I tried running to get out of her reach, but all I did was stumble forward.  "No!" I yelled.  "No more!"  Soon, I ended up tripping over my own feet and falling on my knees. 

Areum gasped and bent down next to me.  "Are you okay?  I'm so sorry," she apologized and put her hand on my back. 

I kept looking down until the time was right.  When she leaned in closer to me, I scooped her up and lifted her over my head, like the fireman's carry.  She squealed unintentionally and kept insisting that I put her down, but I just laughed.  I liked whenever she was surprised because she always had the most entertaining reactions, though I'm probably the only one who thinks they're entertaining-- and quite cute, might I add. 

"You're so light," I told her.  "You need to eat more." 

"If I eat more, you wouldn't be able to carry me," she said. 

"No, actually you would be helping me with my workout." 

I carried all the way back to the stage, then I finally let her down.  She was blushing, madly, so I pinched her cheek. 

"Ouch," she whimpered. 

I laughed and tried pulling her up stage with me, but she stood firm to the ground.  The staff started calling me, so I gave up and let her walk away into the audiences' seats. 

As we began rehearsing, I kept looking at Areum.  Whenever we caught each other's glances, I would wink at her and she would stick her tongue out at me.  I laughed and walked away afterward. 

 

Baekhyun's POV:

I climbed onto the stage once Luhan was done doing his solo and was going to start rehearsing, but then we realized that Jongdae was missing.  The staff were about to start the music, but we told them to stop.  There was no sign of him and no one knew exactly where he was. 

"Where's Chen?" Kris asked when he came out onto the stage to watch us. 

"We don't know.  He kind of just disappeared," Kyungsoo replied.

"I'm here!" a voice shouted all of a sudden.

We all turned our heads and saw Jongdae running onto the stage. 

"Where were you?" I asked.

"I went to go look for Areum," he replied while pointing down to the audience seats.

"Oh... Well, we have to get started," Kyungsoo said.

We nodded and began.  Once we were done with our stage, I ran down to Areum and sat next to her.  She was making a face at someone and didn't notice me at all, so I looked up and that "someone" ended up being Jongdae.  I frowned and grabbed onto Areum's arm.  Finally, she turned her head to me and poked my forehead. 

"What?" she asked. 

"You went missing!" I dramatically exclaimed.  "And I didn't know what to do!  I was so worried."  Then I fell back into the chair. 

She giggled and punched my stomach.  "Well, here I am," she said. 

"Oh, I'm so glad you're back!" I continued with the dramaticness and sat up. 

She shook her head at me and we continued to talk, dropping my dramatic act. 

After all of us practiced our stages and discussed everything else, we went back to our rest and dressing area.  Areum sat on the couch, silently on her phone, while the rest of the guys were relaxing and trying to shake off the nerves.  I felt bad that I wouldn't talk with her for long, especially because she honestly looked so bored.  We were so busy today, getting ready, that there was barely a good time to just sit and talk for a while.   

As the time got closer and closer for us to head up onstage, we got more and more nervous.  It was kind of terrifying to go up in front of all our fans, but it was definitely worth it afterwards. 

While we waited for the last couple of members to finish changing or getting their make-up done, the ones who were ready, messed around and tried to take our minds off of it all.  After joking with some of the guys, I decided to walk over and sit next to Areum. 

 

Your POV:

I was on my phone searching for some jobs around the city when Baekhyun came and sat next to me.  He leaned over to sneak a peak at my phone, but I had turned it off and stuffed it back into my pocket before he could get a good look. 

"What were you looking at?" he asked. 

"Nothing really," I replied. 

"Okay then." 

There was an awkward silence hanging in the air, until I noticed him shaking his leg. 

"Nervous?"

"Kind of, yeah."

"Don't be.  You're Byun Baekhyun."  I gave him a smile. 

He laughed.  "Did you see how many fans there are out there?"

"No."

"Come here, I'll show you then."  He stood first and put his hand for me to grab. 

He led me to the backstage area and showed me a small crack where I could look and see all the fans in the venue.  When I saw all of those fans out there cheering for EXO, my jaw dropped.  I was amazed.  Now I understood why they were so nervous about it. 

"Wow," I expressed. 

"I know right?" Baekhyun said.  "It's amazing, yet kind of intimidating at the same time." 

I looked at him.  "There's so many fans." 

"Yeah." 

"I'm just one fan out of many." 

"I'm glad.  It gives me confidence to know that you'll be down there watching us."  He gave me a cheeky smile that melted my heart. 

Then Baekhyun dragged me back to the rest area.  When we got back, Taeyeon was standing there talking with some of the other members.  Baekhyun let go of my hand and went to give Taeyeon a back hug.  Suddenly, my hand felt so cold without Baekhyun's warm one.  At the same time, jealousy came back to me, but I ignored it and silently walked passed the two and went to the other members. 

I tried to talk to all of them and distract them from their nervousness.  Which worked pretty well, I think, because they looked less nervous then.  The last person I got to talk to was Jongdae. 

"Hey," I said.  "You'll do great!"

He laughed a little, "Thanks.  I'm glad that you're here to support us."

"Yeah, of course.  I would love to come to all of your concerts."

"I would want to see you come all the time, too."

We both laughed. 

"Well, I should probably go and get my seat since you guys have to go soon, too."

"Alright then."

I smiled and gave him a quick hug before leaving.  Once I made my way out of the room, I went straight to the audience and found my seat.  There were so many fans jumping around and all excited already that I decided to just stand with them in the front and wait for EXO to come out.  Throughout the whole concert, I was jumping and singing along with all of the fans and EXO.  It was really fun and an experience I'll remember forever. 

 

Baekhyun's POV:

I was pulling Areum back to the rest area and then when I opened the door, I saw Taeyeon talking with the other members.  I immediately walked behind her and hugged her.  When I let go she turned around and kissed my cheek and I started to blush. 

After showing Areum the beautiful fans, we went back to the rest area.  When I opened the doo, I saw Taeyeon talking with the other members.  I immediately walked behind her and wrapped her in a hug.  Then she turned around and kissed my cheek, causing my face to get slightly red. 

"You actually came," I said.

"Yeah.  I won't be staying for the whole concert, but I wanted to see you before you go on stage," she said.

"You're so sweet.  I love you."

"I love you, too.  Now, go and put on the best performance for your fans.  They're all waiting." 

She smiled and it made me melt inside.  I planted a kiss on her cheek and waved goodbye to her because we had to go under the stage now.  On my way to backstage, I looked for Areum because I wanted to see her once more before I went on stage, but I couldn't find her at all. 

While we were crawling around under the stage, I asked Jongdae, "Did you see Areum?

"Yeah.  She's probably in the audience right now," Jongdae answered.

"Oh..." I said, a little disappointed that Jongdae got to see her right before we were about to go on stage.

Chapter 32: They should really send their mom to a psychologist because she clearly have mental issue at the moment. The accident turned her into a somewhat monster.

Chapter 31: She need to go back to school? So she did not finish college there?

I actually like Jongdae more than Baekhyun in this, he’s such a sweetheart and ultimately he’s there for her.

Chapter 30: Her problems are piling up.

Chapter 29: That line I still like you, it confused me too, I thought that they never confessed to each other. So her telling that to Baekhyun means that he did know? Or I’m just assuming things?

Chapter 25: Atleast her sister in law is still sane for not aborting her child. She just got tons of problems in her plate.

Chapter 24: I read this in one go and I was planning to comment on the last chapter but I just can’t help myself because my head is starting to ache because of the drama of being poor.
I get that they are poor but then again I thought that she had graduated from the US, then why don’t she look a job that would fit what she finished in college? I mean if you’re a graduate from the US most probably you’d get a higher paying job. It’s stupid that she went to the US to study just to get home and get a part time job as an English tutor. Going to the US I though that it is through scholarship grant or whag but then I get that they paid for it, how poor are they in the first place if they get to send her to college in US but the daily life they can’t support. They are all working.
Her brother is already married why don’t he and his wife start a life of their own? Why live still with his parents, I got flabbergasted when the mom suggested abortion, you can swallow all that and say that you’d kill your own child?
Also for a poor person to have a two car, wooooow. They could just sell those to get money.

Chapter 33: ugh I really dislike Taeyon! She's older than Baekhyun but she's acting like a jealous possessive girlfriend.. and Baekhyun is like a fool. Poor Areum :(
