From the
first time Yoona met Sehun, she had never seen him this lifeless. Not even when
he had to stay for the night to retake his line of MAMA or when he had to
double his dancing routine alone because he had missed a week of training due
to his health.
Sehun, the
ever chic and evil maknae of a top
boy group EXO is now seated on his chair, with his face buried in both of his
hands. He has been in that state since the news broke out, and no one dares to
approach him. Everyone in SM Entertainment must be feeling the deep grief every
member of EXO is feeling right now and decide to give them space.
Yoona's heart
sinks as she takes a step closer to the very EXO's member. She feels the warmth
in her eyes but she tries harder to keep her tears at bay. Sehun looks like
someone just take away what's important to him and Yoona needs to be strong for
him. She can't cry. Sehun needs her.
With light
steps, Yoona brings herself closer to Sehun. She takes a seat next to him,
holding back the urge to pull Sehun and let him cry in her embrace. Yoona
doesn't say anything, and Sehun seems oblivious to her presence beside him. Or
maybe he knows. He just doesn’t give a damn about anything else.
A few silent
tears later, Sehun finally lifts his head. He rests his back to the wall behind
him, both eyes looking at nothing in particular. They're empty, just like his heart.
Yoona raises her
hand, giving a slight pat to Sehun's left shoulder. The 20 year old man moves a
little, finally aware of her presence.
"Sehun-ah,"
Yoona holds back her tears. Even saying his name is too painful for her.
Sehun doesn't
share a glance to the beautiful lady beside him. "He left us, Yoona,"
is all he can mutter.
Yoona runs
her fingers through Sehun's hair, already sniffling. "He won't. He loves you all. He'll find a way to come
back." Right now, Yoona isn't even sure who she's trying to soothe.
Right after
she heard the news, Yoona rushed to SM building. The fatigue from the flight
from Dubai suddenly disappeared and all Yoona could think about was how to get
to SM building as soon as possible. She felt the knot within her when she saw
Baekhyun had his head on Suho's shoulder while D.O and Tao held each other's
hand not far away from them.
The building
is now in chaos, inside and out. Fans are gathered outside the building, each holding
different banners but they meant the same; they don't want Kris to leave.
Inside, all SM artists has come to give support. Even BoA dropped everything
she was doing to check on EXO members. It seems like everyone is on their side
in this.
The last time
Yoona felt this way was when Hankyung left Super Junior. She was (and still is)
close to all Super Junior members so when they sat together in deep silence,
Yoona joint the circle and silently cried with them. DBSK's break up was even
worse but Yoona was so much stronger that time, enough to held Changmin in her
arms and told him everything was gonna be alright without even dropping her
tears. She never thought she would go through this again.
When Sehun
starts crying, Yoona kneel down in front of him, touching his forehead with
hers. She feels Sehun's tears flowing on her cheeks, mixing with her own.
"Things
will never be the same." Yoona's
heart clenched after hearing Sehun's voice. He's breaking down, and Yoona can't
take it.
"Whatever
happens, you still have me. I'll always be here for you and I believe you can
get through this. All of you can get
through this."
Sehun closes
both of his eyes, feeling the warmth of Yoona's hands on his face. The words
Yoona just said light a new hope in his heart that everything is gonna be okay.
That he'll get through this. We will get through this. Kris will never leave. Sehun chanted in his heart.
"EXO!
Practice room 2, now!" One of the staffs yells. Sehun takes a very deep
breath, calming the storm he's feeling inside.
Yoona pulls
away from their position, both hands still on each side of Sehun's face. The
corner of her lip lifts a little. "Go. They need you."
The doe-eyed
girl rises on her feet as she sees Sehun slowly walks to the mentioned room.
She saw him reaching for Chanyeol's hand along the way. Yoona can't help
sighing at the sight. They are too young to go through something like this.
"He'll
be fine." She turned around to be face-to-face with Super Junior's
Donghae.
Donghae gives
her a reassuring smile. "They'll be fine." With that, Donghae opens
both of his arms and Yoona gives in to the warmth of Lee Donghae’s. She wraps
her hands around Donghae's waist and nuzzles her head into his chest. One of
Donghae's hand rises to caress Yoona's dark locks down to her back. He tightens
his hug when he feels Yoona's tears on his chest.
Donghae
brings his face closer to Yoona's ear and whispers, "EXO will stay as 12. I believe in them."
