Chapter 1: Swathi's POV

"Today, I am really high as a kite", Chandana said with full energy in her.

"Yeah... finally, we are going to attend the EXO concert", I said.

"Girls, calm down... we are about to reach the place, if you don't stop this, you guys might end up drawing everyone's attention..." Dohee Unnie said while she was having a bright smile on her face...

"Dohee Unnie... we love you so much... and thank you for accompanying us to the concert..." with that I hugged her... we finally reached the concert hall; our seats were in the second row.

"Wow... we are going to be sitting so near to the stage..." Chandana said with excitement.

"Unnie I think there will be double work for you after the show ends... cause we both are going to fall out of excitement when we see EXO performing live and that too from this close..." with that I and Chandana giggled.

Dohee nodded with the smile and said-"That's why I came with you two right... I know how much you guys are into them... especially Kai and Chanyeol Oppa... I must handle you two otherwise both of you will be on tomorrow's news" with that we all laughed.

"Yeah... specially Chandu might go up and start rapping with Chanyeol..." I said.

"In that case, count me in Chandu" Unnie said in a teasing tone.

"Now you two stop making fun of me, and by the way, Swathi, what about you... you will just go running and hug Kai when he does your favorite dance moves and not to forget about his expressions while performing, remember you said you will die after seeing those expressions in live..." Chandana said.

Finally, Unnie stepped between and stopped us saying, "Okay girls, stop it now, they will come in any moment, so behave yourselves", with that she made us to sit on the seats.

"Aye aye captain", we both said in sync.

The MC announces and welcomes EXO members on stage. There the long-awaited performance of my dream boys started. As soon as the song starts, the crowd begins to cheer in the chorus. That loud whooping made me startle for once.

Now, I'm deeply engrossed in their performance that I can feel nothing but their powerful aura, which is dragging me towards them. Especially, Kai, I am completely mesmerized by his attitude, his style, the way he catches every beat and changes in his expressions, his dance, I mean what not!! My eyes are literally following him. It is as if, someone has taken the life out of me. I don't know whether I am drooling or not, up to that extent I'm involved in their performance. He has captivated me completely.

I was looking at him, while he was leaving the stage, once he vanished from my sight, I found myself lost in his thought. I came to sense when Chandana started to yell my name and quake me.

"What happened to you, dear?"- Dohee Unnie asked.

"Yeah, what's up? Is everything alright? We were calling you from that time; you didn't even budge a little!!"- Chandana said.

"Yup, I am fine," I replied.

They were having a worried look on their face.

I asked- "W... What happened? Why you two are having this look on your face?"

"It's all because of you idiot!!" Chandana said, hitting me.

"From now on you are not going to attend any concerts, you scared the hell out of us", Unnie said.

"Aniyo... Unnie, it's not like that, I'm sorry... Chincha mianhaeyo..." I said.

"Okay, okay, let's discuss this later. Now hurry up, we are already late..." Chandana said, cutting the topic off.

"What? What are you talking about? Why is it going to be late? Where are we going now? You two didn't tell me that you guys made a new plan without me...!" I said with feeling a little down.

"This girl... Unnie... bring her with you, I'll reserve the place for you guys..." with that Chandana ran towards the crowd.

"C'mon Swathi... Get up now... don't you want to meet them and get autograph or click a selfie with your idols..." Dohee Unnie asked.

"Unnie... I'm afraid that I'll be the same as before if I see them real close... maybe not today... So you should go and join Chandu... I'll stay here and wait for you two... " I said with a smile.

"O MY... Are you sure baby?" Dohee said. I nodded for the same.

"Okay, but you must stay here until we return" she said.

"Ne... Unnie..." I said by smiling and pushed her front to join the crowd. I saw her until she was out of sight.

The whole concert hall is empty now. Complete silence covered the hall with that I found myself recalling everything I saw a few moments before. Suddenly something hit my mind and said-"Oh... Swathi, you are such a dumb... all you did was to stare at Kai, what about other members, you didn't even have a second glance on them... you used to do big talk in front of Chandu that you love each and every member so much, I treat them equal, everyone is a gem, this and that... But when you saw Kai, you didn't even think about others for a second also... thank god that we have more concerts this month, you can still watch them... just think about when you share this with Chandu and Unnie, how much they will tease you..."

As I was smacking my head with embarrassment, I saw Chandana and Unnie came walking towards me...

"So now you realized what you have lost!! Good cause, now go and run, you might get a chance to see everyone..." Chandana said in a teasing voice.

"No Chandu... I was just thinking about how dumb I was, I didn't even see anyone else than Kai and only remember about him..." I said.

"That's ok... you can see them again in next three days, so cheer up," Unnie said.

"Yeah... yeah, and do the same mistake... Did you come all the way just to have a glance of Kai from the far distance, didn't want to meet them? Where did your big talks go...? You used to say you loved all EXO members equally..." Chandana said.

I pouted and turned to the other side of her. She again stood in front of me, facing me and continued-"Now tell me, why you did not come to meet EXO members...?"

"I simply didn't feel like coming, so I didn't come..." I tried to hide the real reason, though I knew she wouldn't believe in what I said.

"Yeah, now stop making excuses and tell me the real reason... I know you are not that type of girl?" Chandu again started to tease...

"What type are you talking about? Isn't it obvious that we will be so happy that our idols asked our names and smiled at us, takes a selfie with us and so on... we will act all silly whole day long just thinking about that moment... but what about them will they be affected by our feelings? They will just forget our names as soon as we pass them, and I really don't want to be in that misunderstanding... I am happy that I got to see them performing live and that's enough for me..." as soon as I finished saying I heard one voice from behind.

"Who said we tend to forget everyone's name whom we meet? Miss Swathi...!" that voice sounded familiar to me...

I looked at Chandu and Unnie who were just staring at the person behind me. I turned to check who that person is...

I just couldn't believe on my eyes, "Chandu, I think my eyes are deceiving me... am I still dreaming or something, why do I see him everywhere!!"

"No, you are not in a dream nor your eyes are deceiving you... it is me..." he said with a smile on his face.

I turned again to look at him with more disbelief... "So... you are real... really... Kai...!" with that I tried to confirm by poking his arms...

"Ah... that hurts..." he said still having that angelic smile on his face.

"Chesonmnida (I'm sorry)... I didn't mean to hurt you..."

"No... you didn't hurt me I was just joking..." he said.

"But, did you come all along just to give the answer to my silly comments..." I looked into his eyes now, trying to act all cool and composed.

"Well... how should I put this, I think you might feel down, if I say, I got distracted by you while performing, so I came to sue you..." Kai said... after he saw me looking puzzled he started laughing out loudly...

I was literally stunned to see him acting all that, yeah I knew he is a happy virus... loves to make jokes a lot... but what I didn't expect is one day this would happen with me... it started to feel as if I'm in a beautiful dream... If so I really don't want wake up from this dream...

"Well... Swathi, it's your name right..." he asked.

"Yes," I said.

"See, I remember your name... even though you didn't come to see me..." he said with the smiling face.

I was like now I can die peacefully after I saw my dream boy that too face to face smiling at me. Suddenly, reality hit me and I said... "I'm really apologetic for my rudeness" saying that I hung my head down with embarrassment for whatever I blabbered before.

He lifted my chin with one finger and said "Aniyo... don't be... you didn't say anything wrong..."

This time I really couldn't find any word to speak up with... I was literally like, is it my time to die, why all of my dreams are coming true so suddenly... poor me!! little did I knew it was just a beginning, actual merriness was waiting at the front door to enter my life.

He was looking at me now... I literally didn't know what to talk, but I must talk something, I mustered up courage and asked him -

"How come you know my name? I didn't tell you my name yet right?"

"Yes, your friend told me, when I asked her before when she met me at fan meeting," he said.

I smiled back at him.

"So would you like to take a selfie with me?" he asked.

"Yes, of course, it's my honor that I got this opportunity," I said and handed him my cell phone.

As he was about to hand my phone back, he stopped and said; "I don't have my phone now, will you share this to me later?" with that, he typed a contact number and gave it to me with a wink. The way he winked was really cute actually and I fell for him all over again.

With that, he bid farewell to us and went back on his way...

This was my first meeting with the famous EXO Kai...

Flash back part :

After we landed in Seoul, the second day we two decided to go around the city and have some fun. We called Unnie and told about the plan and believe me, if she was not there with us, I don't know how we would have managed everything. So, she asked to wait for her till she is done with her schedules. In the evening she joined us and suggested to try tteokbokki which is known as a spicy rice cake. As we were basically vegetarians, we could eat very less outside without proper knowledge about the foods. Well, I must say it was super spicy. Though we are Indians, especially I'm not used to these spicy foods. I hardly used to eat any kind spicy items when I was in my hometown, where Chandana is a diehard fan of spicy items. Still, I tried it. I must say though it was spicy, it tasted really good because of the same, I had a running nose, and I could only eat a few pieces.

Next day, we went to see the Coex Aquarium. We had watched in dramas how leads go to aquariums and have fun seeing them... so we decided to visit there. Well, our experience of so far in Seoul was way beyond explanation. I can't say what we saw in the aquarium. It was really marvelous and we were silent all along the aquarium. Why I mentioned about silence is because we both are not the kind of girls who will stay silent no matter what the situation is, especially when we both are together... and today Unnie didn't come with us because of her pre-schedule. She called us to make sure everything is fine and used to text all the way...

We were really excited because the next day it was our dream boy's concert. Yes, EXO concert was next day... we went to the room early that day and took some rest.
