You kissed Kai’s puppy before letting it stand on its fours again. It was still limping a little from the week before’s injury. Your heart hurt from seeing her like that. You wanted to hold her again but you knew you had to get back to work. You turned around once again just to look at it one last time.
“________!!!!” you heard someone yell your name in fury. Your heart jumped at the sudden attack as you looked up. “What are you doing to her?” Kai asked. He didn’t seem like his normal self that day. He never really smiled but that day, the wrinkles on his forehead were more than frightening.
“I was just feeding her,” you tried to explain.
“I instructed everyone not to touch her then why are you here? Leave!!” his words were scampered.
“But I..” you began once again, with pure innocence. Kai didn’t wait another second and turned around and left.
You had never been talk to like that before. Sure, you worked for SMENT but that gave Kai no right to talk to you like that. You noticed that he had been talking to you like that for almost two weeks now. Before that, he never even bothered looking at you and suddenly his behavior had shifted gears.
You saw Suho walk out of the practice room. You stopped him half way, to ask what was wrong with Kai. He paused for a moment, thinking why you would ask him about Kai- it’s not like you ever really talked to the members. “He has been sick for the past few days that’s why he is acting a little irritated.”
“Oh,” you pretended to look concerned and made an apologetic face.
“Yea! He’ll be fine in a few days so don’t worry too much,” Suho said and left.
************************************************
You had forgotten about the morning incident. It didn’t really matter to you how Kai behaved around you. You had promised yourself to only focus on your job. Meddling into an idol’s life would cost you a fortune and you certainly were not ready for that.
You were walking past Exo’s practice room when you heard someone yell. You stopped for a brief second and as soon as you started to walk again, you heard your name being called.
“________!!! Come here,” Kai yelled. You looked at him strangely, slowly walking into the musky smelling room.
“Is this the stuff you prepared for us?” he questioned throwing an old smelly black shirt on your face. You looked at the piece of cloth and at him. You were sure providing the members with clothing were far from your job. You tried to explain to him but he didn’t let you speak.
“This material will give all of us a rash and we have three big performances coming up next week. Now either you get your mind straight or I’m going to have to talk someone,” his nostrils flared as he whimpered in anger. You wanted to throw the shirt right back at him and call him names but you knew that would be immature. You clenched the shirt tightly and walked out of the room with a heavy heart. You decided that if Kai ever asked for an apology for treating you this way, you were never going to forgive him.
**********************************************************
More days passed by but Kai’s behavior did not change. It was less intense but you could still see the hatred in his eyes. He expected you to recoil when he approached you, but instead he you stared right back at him, sometimes even more intensely than he did. You didn’t know how long it was going to go on for. Kai on the other hand knew he had to face his fears and tell you what he was thinking.
You were hopping along the hallway lost in your thoughts when a familiar fragrance approached you. You felt sickened at the thought that you could actually recognize his cologne now. Kai looked at you and you at him. Both of you passed each other quietly, but then suddenly he yanked his arm and pulled you into a corner.
“What are you doing?” you whispered rather loudly.
“Shhhh!” he said angrily and pushed your further back into an isolated corner. He knew the door on your right opened to an empty room. He pulled you in and closed the door behind.
“Do you think this is a joke?” you said, getting ready to attack him because defending was too mainstream.
“No! Do you think this is a joke?” he asked you the same question. You looked at him strangely. Kai began to speak again to ease your confusion.
“There is something awfully weird about you!” he snarled. “I don’t know what it is and it makes me want to like you.”
“Whaaaaa” you gasped in amazement. You wouldn’t have thought he was complimenting you had he not stated those last few words. “Are you crazy?” you asked.
“Yes! And it bothers me because all of this is wrong. You! Me! This is all WRONG!” he yelled. He looked completely worn out. You could tell he’d been thinking about all of this for a long time. He sat down and breathed heavily as sweat beads slid down his face. You debated, going up to him. He looked like he needed help but you didn’t have any words to say. You didn’t even know how you felt about him.
“Are you okay?” you asked after an extremely long pause.
“I’m fine,” he replied. He was clearly not fine. What appeared to be sweat beads before were actually tears. He was crying. You had no idea you could have an effect so strong on someone. Deep down, you liked it. You began to enjoy it. But you knew that was not important at the moment. Kai needed help figuring things out. You stood in confusion when he spoke again.
“I’m sorry I treated you like that. It’s just that… I was trying to push you away from myself. I figured…that would be a good way to ease the situation…but…but it doesn’t work.” He got up and was looking straight at you. “I never thought I would get involved in such a thing so early…and my feelings are just so messed up right now.” He looked away as if embarrassed. “I’m sorry if I hurt you one way or the other.”
You nodded as if trying to understand what he was saying. His words were far from being comprehended. What you did know was that, he needed a hug. You walked over, and wrapped your arms around him, patting his back lightly.
“Don’t think about it too much,” you said. He hesitated but put his hand on your back. It sent tingles throughout your body. Your ears tuned red and your entire body had goose bumps. That wasn’t right. That wasn’t supposed to happen. You pulled away rather quickly.
“Just.. try to figure out your feelings okay!” you said sounding lost.
“Yeah… I’ll…try,” Kai mumbled. He was embarrassed at his situation. He had just confessed to someone who clearly didn’t feel the same way about him. Of course, that’s what he thought…
Both you and he smiled at each other blandly. Kai opened the door for you and the two of you parted ways from there.
If, one day he figured himself out, he would come back to you…

Giving ya’ll a heads up right now that there will be NO second part to this one. Ending can go either ways. He comes back a few years later and tells you he likes you and you say the same. He doesn’t come back and both of you move on. Use your imagination and make something up ;)
I hope ya’ll like this one :) and thank you for reading <3
