Heartthrob Snob // D.O.

Chapter 23: A sad aura

D.O’s Point of View

It has been a week since we announced the comeback of our group. Any idol would have been more than happy in this situation but, I was not… we all were not. Things took a turn and the boys turned out to like going back to high school, and one could only imagine how devastated we were feeling.

Suho missed all the activities non-celebrities did and wanted to take more break from responsibilities. Sehun and Kai just missed being high schoolers again. Chanyeol was badly missing Sandy; he even complained for two days straight to President Lee but, gave up when he knew he was not going to succeed. Baekhyun… well, Baekhyun and I both missed Eunmi.

It sucked.

We were at the dorm, gathered in the living room as we discussed our current situation. It was quiet as first but, as leader, I think Suho felt the need to start the topic.

“It’ll be fine, guys. Aren’t you happy that we can make a comeback so soon?” he asked us.

“Yeah, sure,” Sehun sighed.

Once again, it was quiet. I literally did not feel like being there at all. It was like whenever we discussed it, not that we discussed often about it but, I felt kind of depressed. I know I had not known Eunmi long but, it was like she has been part of my life and being away from her felt like part of my life was taken away from me.

Well, I guessed that everyone felt the same way I did. What boggled me was the fact that they did not ask us if we were ready to make a comeback; usually they would have. Things were getting suspicious but, I was not sure, it might have been just me.

“Does anyone miss anything right now?” Kai asked.

Immediately, Chanyeol answered, “Sandy.”

“No kidding,” Baekhyun commented sarcastically, looking at the photo of Sandy that Chanyeol was hugging against his chest.

“This sucks, you know?” Chanyeol sighed.

“Yeah, we know,” Baekhyun said.

“I like being an idol but, feeling like a normal person was nice,” Sehun said.

“True, true,” added Kai.

“I miss the school,” Suho said.

“Me too, and to think that people say they ‘hate’ going to school just makes me upset. They don’t know how working can be so hard sometimes. I would like to keep studying if I could,” Chanyeol said.

“But we’re living our dream,” said Sehun.

“Also true,” Chanyeol told him.

“Can we not talk about this, please?!” I shouted.

Their faces turned to me and plastered confused expressions. I had enough of the subject and no longer wanted to participate in the discussion. I felt both sad and angry, and I guessed that anger took over sometimes for me to be able to cope with things.

I stood up and stormed out the living room, before locking myself in my bedroom. To be honest, I did not feel like I was home and like people said, ‘home is where the heart is’, right? Well, my heart was not with me… it was at home, where Eunmi stayed.

But, I did not worry about it because I knew she would take good care of it, even if she did not know she had it.

Third person Point of View

The same mood wrapped around Eunmi, and school had never felt so different. Yes, EXO-K was not there long but, everyone felt like they were one of them.
