~~~ The Eve -EXO ~~~

My life is over.

That was the first thought, that came to her mind, when she came to know the scary reality, that she assaulted a big star. While Eve was laughing her ass off, she was just staring into the space, trying to figure out, if she should change her name, or simply lock herself in her flat and never come out.

"Damn it," she muttered angrily. She was cross, but more than with herself, it was with him. Today seriously wasn't her day, not in a slightest. Then she gave it a thought. She hasn't done anything bad. It was his fault, he pushed her on the ground, looking like number one ciminal wanted by police, what was she supposed to think about it.

"Dee, you are so lucky," Eve yelped all excited, once again. Dee looked at her, like she is mentally disabled.

"You can't be serious. I'm screwed. Anyways he looked like criminal, I had all right to defend myself from him," she stated, being aware of the fact, it sounded ridiculous.

"Defend yourself from what exactly, being charmed by his attractiveness?" her friend joked around, obviously making fun of her. She gave her glare and then hid her face in her hands.

"I didn't see a freaking thing from him, how could he possibly charm me or whatever. Stop saying nonsense and help me to sneak out, without the possibility of bumping into him again," Dee demanded, when she got hold of herself. She stood up and changed her clothes again, giving back jumper she borrowed from Eve and putting her already dry jacket on.

"Oh, don't be such a coward. Let's go back to the main hall, as we always do. I'm sure him and the others are already being mobbed by now," Dee could see the thrill in her friend's eyes. Eve was holding herself back now, but she knew how much Eve wanted to go back there and see them. And she didn't have the heart to stop her. Dee had to sacrifice for her dear friend's happiness.

"You are going to kill me. If I am going to end up being sued by him, you have to get me out of it, no matter what, you know my temper," Dee warned her, giving her one last glare and then she gave up. She was trying to convince herself, that if she pretends she is invisible, none will see her. She will make sure, she is not spotted by that big star again. Good thing Eve was in her last year of law school.

Then Eve started to dance around her, telling her what a praiseworthy person she is. Like she didn't know before. Pff.

"I need to stop by in the restroom, go ahead," she said, when they walked out of the backstage room and went towards main show room. Eve nodded and almost tripped over her own leg, while she sped up down the hall.

Dee let out relieved breath, opening the door to the ladies toilets. She stopped before long mirror to see her current state. She left her hair braided, Eve didn't do a bad job on that. The problem was the tired expression in her face, along with dark circles under her eyes. That's what she gets, when she works hard studying and managing three part time jobs, including this one. The pay here was low, but she wasn't doing it for money, but simply for the pleasure. She looked at her reflection for another few minutes. If she wasn't looking so exhausted, she would be probably considered pretty, with her healthy looking long hair, oval shaped face, small nose and slanted dark brown eyes. She always liked those, she felt kind of exotic.

She sighed and turned the tub with cold water, to splash some of it on her face.

She needed to find her courage again, before she went out. She opened the door, stepping out, when she felt the weird feeling again. Like she was being watched. She turned her head around, immediately finding the person staring, right next to her.

She widened her eyes, which has happened several times tonight and made one step back, which caused her to almost fall on the floor again.

Baekhyun was leaning against the wall, with arms crossed on his chest, eyeing her out in the same way he did while she was on the stage. This time she could finally see his face, as he had removed the wimple. Of course she knew how he looks from the TV and other places, but seeing it like this, was intense.

She realized her heart beating like crazy, for some kind of reason. Stop it you annoying organ, always doing what it wants, when it wants. She mentally screamed at it to calm down.

Wait a minute. Was he actually waiting for her? Oh this is getting weirder every passing minute. He kept staring at her, not diverting his gaze other way. She felt uneasy, once again, asking herself, what is his problem.

She managed to break their eye contact, just so she could plan her escaping route.

Pretty, easy. She just needs to run past him as fast as possible. She can do that. Unfortunately she didn't count with his foresight. As soon as she got on with her runaway plan, he pulled away from the wall behind him, stepping right in her way. She had to stop, otherwise she would end up crushing into him. His move made them stand facing each other; she could clearly see, he is taller than her. He still reminded her of thug.

"We need to talk," he decided to break the silence at last, looking all serious. But he didn't speak in English, but in Korean.

"Have no idea, what you just said mate," she responded, thinking that their conversation is over, she was about to walk around him, but he didn't let her, blocking her way again. She was slowly getting pissed.

"I know you can speak Korean, but let it be your way," he replied in English this time, smirking knowingly. Even though it had a bit of accent, his English sounded very good. She had to admire that even against her will. But wait, what did he just say? He knows? How can he possibly know that? Okay, it was true, she could speak Korean very well, but no one but her, knew about that fact.

"Whatever. If you excuse me, my friend is waiting for me," she decided she better not start any deeper conversation with him, even though she was dying to know how he can know her secret. Did she judge him right? He is stalker! But why would he stalk her? She didn't like how many questions he managed to stir in her, in such a short time.

"Your friend is with my ones. She sent me here, so we can talk in private," he informed her drily. Eve did what? She was going to kill her, oh yes her friend is going to die tonight. How could she do that to her? She started to feel panicky. He is probably going to tell her to take responsibility for what she did to him.

"There is nothing we need to talk about," she stated, determined to get the hell out of here. Before she could do at least two steps, she felt his hand on her lower arm, stopping her from getting farther. She first looked at his fingers wrapped around her wrist and then gave him death glare.

"This is the third time you are trying to run away from me and I'm not letting you this time," his voice sounded firm. Oh my, he was as determined to stop her from running, as she was to get lost. He didn't give her any other choice than to resort to violence. Because his hand was still secured on her, she had to use her lower extremities to accomplish her mission. But just when she was about to lift her leg and stamp on his foot, he suddenly moved away, never letting her go.

Before she knew it, he pushed her against the wall with him right in front of her. Dee tried to wiggle her way out, but he pressed his body on hers, which instantly made her stop moving at all.

What a hell he thinks he's doing? He was still holding one of her hands, so she used the other one to try and push his body away from hers, but then he grabbed her only hope to set herself free and held it firmly on his chest.

She lifted her eyes to his face, just to find him smirking again.

"If you don't let me go this instant, you better wish you weren't born," She hissed at him. Her threats made his damned smile even deepen.

"You are really violent, you know that? The list of bad things you've done to me is getting longer," he dared to make fun of her. She really felt like hitting him, her rage was now on highest point, but then she looked at his dark eyes, making her forget what she was thinking. Oh, wow, his eyes are really sparkly... She started to blink rapidly to get rid of the tingling feeling which took over her body for a second and frowned at him.

"Okay, alright!" she growled, giving up on easy escape. Evidently he was in the mood to bully poor english girl. Let's give him what he wants. "I'm sorry for kicking you earlier, but you have to admit, with the black clothes and that absurd wimple, you freaking looked like a murderer. So forgive me?" she had to concede, that she didn't sound one bit sincere, but she just wanted him to get away from her, so she could breathe normally, as she uncomprehensibly had difficulties right now. He was way too close, for her to be calm and her lungs to work as they should. She tried to sneak her hand from his grip, when she noticed he loosened it a bit, but she just made him tighten it.

His expression suddenly changed from amused to pensive, while he pursed his lips. She couldn't stop looking at them, after he performed this simple gesture. She felt the blush creeping in her cheeks, whilst she was dying from sudden heat, which surrounded her. What a hell is wrong with her? She couldn't bear their proximity anymore.

"If you don't intent to say anything, then let me go," she gasped struggling to breath, when he finally noticed what he was doing to her.

"I have a lot to say and I will let you go, when you stop trying to escape. As for the thing you did outside, let's say, if you stay quiet and listen to what I have to say, I'm not going to tell everybody, you assaulted me, multiple times," tone of his voice dropped lower, resonating in her ears and making it hard to focus, on what he actually said. When his words finally made sense in her head, she had hard time not let her temper take over and beat the hell out of him.

"Are you threatening me right now? Excuse me, but is it me who has you against the wall, by force?" she spouted at him angrily.

"Alright, we are both in fault," he stated, leaving her speechless. She thought, he would start teasing her. She just blinked at him, not being able to form any meaningful sentence.

"By the way, I liked your performance," he continued to astound her. She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't think of any suitable answer. But he wasn't waiting for that anyway.

"Let's make a deal," he suggested, she realized he had let go of her hands and started to pull away from her. The amount of relief, which rolled over her body when he made one step back, was refreshing. She could finally feel like she can live again.

"What kind of deal?" she asked, even though her way out was now free, she found herself curious about this deal of his. What could star like him possibly want from her?

"Say yes to my proposal and I'm not going to say anything about your abusive side," she was sure, he was beating around the bush on purpose. She glowered at his handsome face. She couldn't understand how can Eve describe him as the cute one. Eve told her all about the members of EXO and Dee didn't have any other choice than to listen to everything she said, even though it was killing her brain cells. She was still certain this person standing in front of her, didn't have a cute side. So far, he was playing around with her, at least that's how it felt for her.

"I'm not abusive, damn it!" she said, glaring at him. "And what proposal? What do you want from me?" she continued, this time giving him suspicious look. Dee thought, she saw hesitancy in his eyes, but it appeared for less than second, that she wasn't sure, if she actually saw it. His expression now was completely straight and serious.

"I want you to become an EXO's trainee," this is what he finally let out of his pink lips. The only thing she could do at the moment the ridiculous words left his mouth, was blankly staring at him.

What on earth she just heard him say?
