EXO's new member is a girl??

The Return of the Heroine

박찬열

Byun Baekhyun, if you don't come in, tell me...

오세훈

Brother's here..

김종대

Why, is something wrong....

The female lead hung her head low and just fidgeted with her fingers.

김준면

Welcome, Yeoju.

At Junmyeon's words, she lifted her head, which she had been bowing, and smiled, and the members hugged Yeoju.

박찬열

I missed you, youngest.

오세훈

Why did our youngest come so late?

김종인

Come in early next time.

도경수

You really made the right choice coming, Yeoju.

김민석

Kyungsoo happened to do a lot of things he likes you.

김준면

Uh... don't cry

배여주

Me too... I missed you all too...

When the female lead finally burst into tears, the members hugged her at once.

변백현

Everyone, calm down and let's eat first. Yeoju, I'll take your things to your room.

배여주

huh!

배여주

Oh my...

박찬열

It looks delicious

배여주

hum

오세훈

Minseok hyung said you might be coming, so I made this in a hurry.

배여주

Ah... did everyone know?

김종대

I found out today that Baekhyun seems like he's going to you, so we waited.

배여주

Thank you for waiting for me.

김종인

Our youngest is always welcome.

Jongin hugged Yeoju and spun around in his arms out of joy.

변백현

What the heck, Kim Jong-in..!! Our Yeoju is getting dizzyyyy

배여주

It's fun.

김종인

nyah

변백현

tooth..

Baekhyun had already started to get jealous, but there wasn't a moment for the corners of his mouth to droop at the return of Yeoju.

도경수

Now everyone sit down.

배여주

yes

The dining table was filled with only the things Yeoju liked, and she was full of anticipation for Kyungsoo's meal, which she hadn't seen in a long time.

배여주

Why... aren't you eating...?

Seeing the members staring only at Yeoju without eating, Yeoju also put down the chopsticks she was holding and asked, and the flustered members answered.

김민석

Well... I should eat. Yeoju, you eat first...

배여주

ah..

One by one, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating, and Baekhyun looked after Yeoju.

변백현

Eat a lot, my Yeoju~

배여주

What are you talking about? You eat a lot, oppa.

오세훈

What's going on between the two of them... what's their relationship?

변백현

Hehehe

박찬열

no way...

배여주

haha..

김종대

You bastard Byun Baekhyun!!!

김종인

How dare you... our heroine

박찬열

No wonder he looked so miserable right before leaving yesterday...

김민석

Since you're already dating, treat the female lead well.

변백현

of course

오세훈

If Baekhyun makes the female lead cry, he isn't even a man.

변백현

her

배여주

Never mind, let's eat quickly.

배여주

But what should I tell the company...

변백현

I'll take care of it, don't worry.

배여주

huh..

김종대

I never even intended to remove you from EXO in the first place.

김종인

Right, the members got angry back then.

배여주

sorry..

김민석

It's not because of you

변백현

Yeah, it's not because of you, so don't worry.

박찬열

But it seems like you're sticking too close to our female lead.

변백현

Why is the female lead called 'our Yeoju'? She's my Yeoju, *sticks out tongue*

박찬열

That's...!

배여주

Hehehe, stop it.

김종대

How can a single person live with such sorrow?

오세훈

Sob sob Sehun is lonely

도경수

It's been a while since we met, isn't there anything you want to do?

배여주

Hmm... I want to go to the beach and do fireworks...!

변백현

Let's go today

배여주

today?

오세훈

Let's go right away

김종인

Oh yeah

김준면

Then shall we go to the place we went to?

배여주

Buzz buzz!!

The members decided to gather in the living room after everyone finished getting ready, and since no one had anything to prepare, they came out quickly.

변백현

Shall we go, Princess?

배여주

Ah, what are you talking about? Hahahahaha

김종대

Ah, I seriously feel like throwing up.

오세훈

I admit it, I'm already getting motion sickness.

김종인

What will a single person do when they are so sad?

박찬열

My side feels cold too.

김준면

Guys, let's pull ourselves together.

오세훈

Whoa what? Junmyeon hyung, no way...

김민석

It's not like that, so calm down and let's hurry up lol.

The members split into two teams and got into the cars, and Chanyeol drove Yeoju's team.

변백현

Yeoju, aren't you tired?

배여주

Actually, I'm a little tired..

변백현

Okay, I'll wake you up when we get there.

배여주

Uh-huh

Baekhyun put Yeoju to sleep with her head resting on his shoulder.

오세훈

Wow, what would have happened if I had sat next to that?

박찬열

I admit it, it went beyond goosebumps; I think I actually turned into a chicken.

변백현

Hey, you guys be quiet. The female lead is waking up.

박찬열

Huh... isn't it really too much that the two of them are dating?

No matter what Chanyeol and Sehun said, Baekhyun carefully raised his hand and stroked the sleeping Yeoju's head.

변백현

Yeoju, wake up. We're here.

배여주

Uh-huh...

The half-asleep Yeoju got out of the car holding Baekhyun's hand.

배여주

It's the sea! It's the sea!

변백현

Don't run, you'll get hurt.

Yeoju had not gone outside for a year, except for the day she collapsed and was taken to the hospital. That is why, whenever she watched TV and the sea or places she had visited with the members appeared, she thought of them; and when she saw the sea while riding in the car with Baekhyun on the way back to the dorm, Yeoju was reminded of the sea she had visited with the members.

The air, which had felt stifling to the female lead, was refreshing more than anything, and it felt as if her chest had been completely cleared away.

배여주

It's good, right?

변백현

Yeah, that's good.

Yeoju and Baekhyun walked hand in hand in the deserted sea with peace of mind, while the members following behind were busy glaring at them.

김종대

Let's go without them.

오세훈

It feels like rubbing salt in the wound.

김종인

I shouldn't have come

박찬열

I should have just played a game.

김준면

It would probably be better to just practice.

김민석

Why are you acting like that? It looks just fine.

김종대

brother..

도경수

Yeah, Baekhyun hasn't smiled like that lately.

김종인

That's true, though..

Since Baekhyun had always struggled while the female lead was away, seeing his brightly smiling face made even the viewers smile.

배여주

But oppa

변백현

huh?

배여주

Since when have you liked me?

변백현

uh...?

배여주

No... I was just curious

Baekhyun intertwined his fingers with the hand he was holding, looked at Yeoju, and spoke.

변백현

Since you went to the hospital

배여주

hospital?

변백현

You smiled when you opened up and talked about everything at the hospital after joining as a member. That's when I fell for you.

배여주

omg....

변백현

But I couldn't even express it because I was afraid you might feel uncomfortable... When you left the letter behind, I thought the sky was falling.

배여주

....

변백현

So don't go anywhere now. I'm going to follow you 24 hours a day.

배여주

Phew, got it.

After walking for quite a while, Baekhyun turned on his phone to call the members he couldn't see, and there was a text message.

김민석

I've booked a hotel. Go have fun and come back.

변백현

It looks like the members went to the hotel first.

배여주

iced coffee

변백현

What should we have for dinner tonight?

배여주

Hmm... grilled clams?

변백현

Do you think so?

배여주

Shouldn't you ask your older brothers too?

변백현

If you say you don't want to, the two of you can just eat it.

배여주

Oh my god....!

변백현

Anyway, Yeoju

배여주

huh?

변백현

Catch me if you can

배여주

Damn it... Aren't you going to stop right there?!!

Since Yeoju was not good at running, Baekhyun ran slowly while Yeoju sprinted at full speed.

변백현

Come here quickly, Yeoju.

배여주

Ah, seriously, why are you so fast!! Run a little slower!!

변백현

Heheheheheh

배여주

Ugh...!

Yeoju ran and eventually fell, and Baekhyun ran over.

변백현

Yeoju, are you okay?

배여주

It's not okay at all

변백현

I'm sorry... I was wrong...

배여주

Then carry me around on your back!

변백현

Phew, yeah.

Baekhyun carried Yeoju on his back and walked slowly along the sea again.

배여주

It's so good

변백현

me too

배여주

Aren't you cold, oppa?

변백현

I'm fine, but what about the female lead?

배여주

little..

변백현

So, shall we go to the hotel now?

배여주

Okay, let me off.

변백현

I don't like it.

배여주

Ah, what? Put me down. I'm heavy.

변백현

It's not heavy at all

배여주

Let me down! I want to walk!

변백현

I understand. I get it.

Yeoju got off Baekhyun's back, held his hand, and went to the hotel where the members were.

김민석

Ugh, I'm full.

김종인

But it was really delicious, right?

변백현

That's right

After eating grilled clams, the members headed back to the sea holding firecrackers.

배여주

There are really a lot of stars.

변백현

Yeah, Yeoju, should I pick one for you?

배여주

Lol, you can't do it

변백현

lol

박찬열

I can't walk next to them

김준면

The later part is harder

Upon arriving at the sea, the members planted the firecrackers and began lighting them.

배여주

Kya!!

The lit firecrackers began to explode, and the female lead stared at them in awe.

변백현

Yeoju, look here

배여주

huh?

Click-

변백현

Hehe, it's pretty.

배여주

Ah, what is this? Show me! Isn't this weird?

변백현

No, it's pretty

오세훈

Uhhhh!!!! Shooting star!!!!!

A shooting star fell from the star-filled sky, and the members made a wish.

The wish of the female protagonist, who closed her eyes tightly and made a wish, was

배여주

Please let me be with the members forever
