+ thirty six

+ thirty six

Baekhyun made good on his word to Taeyeon's threat and avoided Narda, something that proved to be very difficult for him. Things went back to the way they were between them and she didn't understand why. As much as she tried to talk to him, he always took off, and Taeyeon was always around like she had nothing better to do with her time. Narda went back to her old ways of stalking Baekhyun, since it was the only way she got to see him.

As time was running out, her boss was pressuring her to give her answer, for renewal of her contract. With five days before EXO would travel to Japan for the three final concerts of the EXO Planet #1 tour, the ultimatum for Baekhyun was getting closer, and Narda had been given an ultimatum of her own. The school wanted to know by the end of the year whether she wanted to continue teaching or not, so that they could make all the necessary arrangements with her university. Narda was sitting on her bed when she finally got a text from Baekhyun.

♡byunnie♡: guti, have u made a decision
on ur job??

narda: no. not yet...why?

♡byunnie♡: i cant explain right this moment
but please renew 

narda: hm...

narda: so u can continue to ignore me,
right?

message read.

Though he read her message and didn't reply, Narda heaved a sigh and sent an email to her boss, asking to renew her contract. Then she sent another email to her university, and her academic advisor to inform them that she was planning to spend another year in Korea. That left her with another year and a half of studies. She would spend the last one in Korea, and would have to return to the United States for her final semester in order to get her degree.

She hoped she wouldn't end up regretting her decision.

On the day that EXO left for Japan, Narda made another attempt to get Baekhyun's attention. Florencia, Acacia, and Nari had been invited to travel with them to Japan. Taeyeon, Sarang and Mae had their own schedules to fulfill and would not be going with them. But Florencia and Acacia would be travelling to the Asian country for the first time, while Nari had only been invited as part of her job. SM Entertainment was not yet aware of the fact that she and Kyungsoo were seeing each other. Florencia had invited Narda to travel with them, since she had been given a web show on the SM Entertainment youtube platform called Kkoch's Diary, and needed someone to explore the town with. But with Narda being banned from seing EXO, Narda knew it wouldn't be such a good idea.

With the three weeks she had before the new school semester started, EXO would be gone, and she would be in Seoul alone for the first week and a half. She had called her parents and asked if they would like for her to come home for a while. 

She got up early that morning that EXO would be travelling. Nari had gotten up earlier and left for the SM building to pick up her stylist equipment. Then she would meet the managers and the group at the airport to catch a flight to Japan. Narda grabbed her cordless boombox from her bedroom dresser and walked across the street purposefully, with a bucket filled to the brim with water in her other hand. She connected her cellphone to the boombox via blue tooth after setting the bucket down on the sidewalk and played a song on it. It was early morning and people stared at her as they walked down the street, but she didn't care.  

Narda began to belt out the lyrics at the top of her lungs and it wasn't long before it was heard inside the building.

Baekhyun and the other EXO members were inside and had just finished having breakfast. They were returning to their rooms to grab their luggage when they heard a familiar voice singing outside. Baekhyun peeked out the window to see Narda belting out lyrics to a song in Spanish. The door to his dorm room was open, and Jongdae walked in, leaving his luggage out in the hallway.
