TWELVE

It’s been a few days since the dating scandal happened and everything seemed so different. Exo continues their activities but Suho seemed to change a bit, he doesn’t normally talks the way he does and would just go along with what is happening. Baekhyun and Chanyeol even tried to have things back to normal as they kidded their leader to pay for their food, before he would still say that they should do something in return of the favor but now, he just gave out his card without saying a word.

“I miss the old Suho.” Xiumin blurted as they have a small family meeting without Suho since he was already sleeping.

“we all do hyung… but we can’t do anything right now. He knows the fans range on him and Eunji, it’ll pass… if Baekhyun had done it, what more with our hyung?” Chanyeol replied as he tried to be positive.

“I just hope that he’ll get to talk to Eunji soon… they haven’t talked ever since the scandal… though we know that he’s been asking Young In hyung updates about her.” Kyungsoo added.

They have heard Suho asking Young In several times if how is Eunji, if she’s doing well, if what is her schedule, if where is she and such… things just won’t go the way they want it to be right now.

“A lot of fans online has been worried about the changes they saw with Suho hyung... But the bashes to them is still none stop,it's a relief that Eunji's fans are cooperating with us... How I hope some exo-ls does too." Sehun added. Sehun, Tao, Chanyeol,Lay and Xiumin has posted something related to Suho and Eunji's relationship saying that they hope for people to just accept it as they deserve to be happy... And the five being active in social media can't help not to check on the netizens' reaction making them much more worried after learning that Suho and Eunji still receives lots of hate.

"I've talked to Taeng and she said that Eunji is trying to cope up as she has actually set a meeting with her fansite admins hoping to have them cooperate and not to deal with those people who kept on bashing." Baekhyun added. This is how they corroborate the information about the couple as they want to know atleast how the fans and the online world reacts.

"I heard from Baek that Suho's trying to cope up... But the happenings just won't let him do it. The members are worried about him but they don't know what to do." Taeyeon tried to choose her words as she talks to Eunji.

"I know... And I'm feeling so worried of him.. He's not insensitive for him not to feel hurt of what they are saying to him... I just hope to meet him soon..." Eunji replied with a sigh. They were actually advised not to meet yet as the eyes of the public especially the media is on them. A fast rising star and a leader of one of the most prominent boy group nowadays are dating... Who wouldn't want to get a scoop about them?

The only difference is, Eunji was atleast able to control her fans as she came to the point that she asked Chin to gather her fansite in a discreet lunch meet and asked them to cooperate with her wish.

"I am so sorry to keep it from you guys. You've got no idea how much we both wanted to share it to you but we've got no choice... If we know that this will happen... But I have only one wish for your guys... Please... If it is possible... Please don't deal with the bashes and trash talks... Just let them be... As what you've said, they don't know anything... I don't want you guys to get a bad reputation because of this...and don't hate them... Remember we can't judge a fandom by a fan... Please you guys... I also wish for your support and love... You're one of the reasons why u keep on holding on with this."

"You guys don't deserve this... No one does... So I just hope that things would keep better as time goes by." Taeyeon said as she held Eunji's hand making the younger one smile. She's just so thankful to have these kind of people to support and be there for her.

"THESE. ARE. TOO. MUCH." Tao even emphasized each word as he's brows crease. They're now reading some related searches with their leader as they can't help but get worried of the netizens rants.

"Did Young In hyung returned his phone already?" Kai asked.

"Not yet... I told hyung not to return it yet... we have to let things die down for a week or two before returning it to him." Xiumin replied.

"But judging by what happened to Baek and Taeyeon noona... I doubt that they'll let it pass immediately." Lay countered with a sigh.

"Just don't worry too much guys. I'm coping and things will be fine in the right time. I'm sorry for stressing you out with this." They were surprised to hear Suho's voice by the door. They're now inside the room of Xiumin and Lay and they thought that Suho was still with Baekhyun outside.

"Oh hyung." Sehun was the first one to react which made Suho chuckle.

"Guys Suho hyung is-" Baekhyun who barged in the door wasn't able to continue his words as he saw Suho inside the room already. He just went to the bathroom and was surprised not to see Suho when he came back.

"Guys,I know everything that you're doing... And I am so thankful of that...I am so thankful to have you in times like this... You've got no idea how thankful I am that I was able to meet such precious individuals." Suho stated as he eyed each one of them.

"Hyung... Perhaps you're not thinking of doing what those people wants right? Hyung..." Kyungsoo suddenly blurted which made everyone realized what he meant.

"No hyung! Two was enough! Exo wouldn't be exo without you! No!!!" Tao started crying as he ran towards him and enveloped him in a hug making Suho shed tears.

"As far as I can.... That will never happen." Suho whispered which others heard making them come near them and joined the hug that Tao and Suho shares.
