Chapter 1. First meeting

I was shaking. I couldn’t breath. I was so nervous. I looked around me, scared I would fall down. My eyes found those of Beakhyun. He smiled encouragingly. I tried to smile back, but I knew it was pointless. I heard the staff count down. “10, 9, 8”, my eyed shifted from Nana’s to Sujin’s. Sujin turned around and looked at us. She took our hands and smiled. “We are going to be all right.” She tightened her hold on our hands while she looked from Nana, to me, to Yumi, to Jinea. “Remember we are a team!” I swallowed, “Go Go HA NA GO!” we said in unison. I heard the MC say “3, 2, 1. We are on!”

And we are back! With another episode of Tea with Me. Thank you thank you. Tonight we have some special guests. You probably already know them, the talented boys of EXO. Give them a warm welcome!

Beakhyun walked past me and laid a hand on my back while passing. My nervousness lay down a little. I was a bit more convinced, when I was on stage all my shyness disappeared, I could only hope that it would be the same at variety shows.

“Thank you. Thank you. Hello we are EXO-K” Suho greeted the fans and MC.”I am very happy we can be here.” “Oh the pleasure is whole mine”, the MC commented. While they were talking about their debut and their comeback, I felt my body waking up again. When I am nervous there is a point I pass, and after that my body just shuts down. I am still moving, but my mind is not registering everything anymore. I was hapy to notice this, maybe I would be able to live through this show.

So we have been hearing a lot of rumors that Lee So Man is busy preparing a new debut, a female group. Can you tell us more about this? I am sorry, I can’t but I did bring someone who can tell you more about this. Well show me, I am dying with anticipation. What would Suho have prepared for us?

I heard the audience squeak in excitement. This was where we would come in. I shifted my weight from one leg to the other.

“Pleas come in!” Suho invited us.
