Miracles in December
Part 2: Part ways
Everyone is busy because of their comeback concert today. Busy staffs, loud cheering of the crowd and preparing artists are everywhere.
Suho
Have you seen Lay?
Chen
He's here awhile ago, but his phone suddenly rung and had to go outside for privacy.
Sehun
Hyung, don't worry, everything will be fine today. We've done this several times already. And each concert hits differently.
DO
Yah.. Our maknae is becoming a man now ah. You already know how to comfort?
Kai
Yeah.. seems like that. Yah Oh Sehun, don't grow up too fast. You'll get stressed too like Suho Hyung 😆😅
Xiumin
Haha. I'm about to say the same thing Kim Kai😆
Chanyeol
You're bullying our leader now, don't you? Well, what can I say,it's our favorite thing to do since day 1 😅Our life is happy because of him
Baekhyun
The best leader in the industry is our leader. He's like our mother yet we always make fun of him😂
Just like that everyone in the room burst out laughing. Whoever saw the scene will found themselves smiling due to the good friendship.
A good friendship that no one can break easily.
Lay enter the room with a heavy shoulder and a long face. DO noticed him first.
DO
What's with the face Lay?
Everyone looked at Lay and saw what DO is talking about. Lay seems problematic.
Xiumin
You can tell it with us.
At first, Lay is hesitant to tell them but after a few minutes of contemplating with himself, he let out a deep sigh and started talking.
Lay Zhang
Honestly,I don't know how to say this.
Sehun
C'mon Lay we've been friends for almost a decade. Don't be shy and spill the beans.
Lay Zhang
I received a call from Beijing, it's my father's secretary.
Baekhyun
What happened?
Lay Zhang
He............. wants me home now. (Lay said almost whispering. Everyone in the room fell into the deep silence)
Chen is the first one to recover. He gathered himself and force a smile.
Chen
Is there a problem at home? An emergency perhaps?
Lay Zhang
My father had a mild heart attack this afternoon and half of his body became affected. He wants me home now to talk to me personally.
Lay Zhang
I don't know what to do anymore. So I told them that I'll think about it after our concert.
Everyone feels numb because of the news.They hated the feeling of being incomplete.They hated the thought of parting ways with their brother
Loud cheering outside is nothing when the sudden news exploded.Suho went to Lay's side and everyone looked at him and nod their head.
Suho
You don't need to think about it anymore. We understand the situation, family first that's our line aren't we? You can go now.
Xiumin
You can still catch the last flight at this hour( Xiumin said while looking at his watch)
Kai
We can manage and we can fill your space for the meantime. Send our regards to Uncle.(Kai said and tap the shoulder of Lay)
Chanyeol
Cheer Up. We'll wait for you when everything is fine. ( Chanyeol said with a reassuring smile written in his face)
It made Lay's heart calm somehow. His brothers really understand his situation. He's very thankful that he met them.
And was able to build good memories that he can cherish for a lifetime.
Sehun
Lay-Hyung, make sure you buy us some treats when you get back❤️ I love your own version of ramyeon😊
Sehun never forget to lighten up the mood by asking for treat as Lay came back that made everyone grin. Their maknae is really something.
DO
You better prepare something for Uncle before you went home. Buy him fruits perhaps.
Chen
Aishh.. Our DO reminded you so you better do what he says.
EXO's PD
You better get ready in 10 minutes. Prepare yourself the show is about to start.
They get up and tap Lay's shoulder as if silently telling him to go on.Lay still is hesitant to go.He know how crucial to stay for the show.
Baekhyun
Yahh.. Lay Zhang, you don't have to put your father behind just for the show.The team and EXO-L will understand.
Suho
We'll explain to the management the situation. We'll handle their range. Just do your part as a son.
DO
Suho is right, you can still find a good company when the management pulls you out but you cannot find a good father.
The group's advice somehow made him at ease.
Lay spent the next minute telling his situation to the crew and bid his farewell to the team.He promised to everyone that he'll come back.
The PD enters the scene.
EXO's PD
C'mon let's start the show and make EXO-LS extra happy. Good luck everyone.
Everyone gathered around, Lay is also with them. And just like their previous shows, they do their chant before burning the stage.
Suho
EXO, WE ARE ONE.SARANGHAJA!
The 8 of them went to stage while Lay is exiting the area. He doesn't want to leave but the situation made him do so.
