Just once, I want to walk side by side with you

Tonight the river wind is blowing too strong...

Seohyun closed the book in her hand and reached out to pull the hood over her head. She had only read a few chapters of the book. But can't stand the cold air and eye irritation. Therefore had to give up and return to the dormitory before the normal time.

During the promotional break She often spends her free time walking or reading books by the Han River every day. From evening until midnight But these past few days she has felt strange. It's like someone is watching all the time. I could only console myself that maybe someone would recognize her. Or a group of fans that follows from the company

If she turns to pay attention, it signals interaction. So walking quietly It's probably the best choice.

But that feeling returned again. Seohyun looked around with a strange feeling. Choose to walk on the brightly lit riverside road instead of cutting through the garden, which is closer...but also more dangerous.

Finally, he walked out to the side of the road. Feels a little relieved that there are still some cars passing by.

Seohyun picked up the pace. A feeling told me that someone was accelerating. She turned around and looked back. The sidewalk was empty, with no sign of life. I could only hear the sound of the wind blowing the leaves. But that doesn't make it feel any better.

The last curve before reaching the dormitory Seohyun decided to run. She pressed the code to open the door, her hands shaking. As soon as he stepped into the safety of the inside, he turned around and looked at the road in front of the building, his heart pounding in fear.

There is no one...

But she knew, knew that someone was following her...

It had been nearly three months since she had stopped by the Han River. Partly because I had to fly to promote in Japan. The other part is because I'm still afraid. But tonight the weather is so good that I can't bear to stay stuffed in my room.

Seohyun didn't bring any books with her. She plugged in her headphones as she jogged along the path. A group of young boys who were playing basketball stopped playing and turned to salute her.

Seohyun doesn't remember every member. But I know that he is a trainee from a company that will be debuting soon.

It was then that I thought about it. Even if she covers herself with a hat and mask Everyone still remembers her. A young couple looked at each other and whispered, asking if it was Girls' Generation. A group of football players stopped playing and turned ninety degrees. She didn't fully see her so she didn't know if she was a trainee or a company employee, but what she did know was that they recognized who she was.

Seohyun decided to run deeper into the garden's maze of paths. Convince yourself that there probably won't be any harm. It wasn't late at night and the park was bustling with people.

Even if I comfort myself like that She couldn't help but be paranoid. The deeper I ran, the more I felt a strange chill on my neck, as if someone was watching me.

My heart beats loudly as I pass the final curve to the riverside. She was about to pass it when suddenly a huge shadow appeared from the bushes on the side of the road.

Seohyun almost screamed. But a large hand reached out and covered his mouth in time. Her smile and laughter made her instantly recognize who she was even though she couldn't see clearly.

“Yah! Let go, Choi Minho!”

Minho released his female friend's body with a laugh, a small hand slamming her onto the strong back. It doesn't hurt much. But the other party pretended to moan and fell to the floor.

"good! Just die.”

“So cruel.”

Seohyun held out her hand for her friend to hold up to help her stand up. Minho continued to laugh.

"It's not funny. I was so shocked I almost had a heart attack."

"Well, I meant to startle you."

The two young men started walking down the road. Because I don't want to attract attention from people passing by.

"Don't play like this again. I'm even more scared."

“What are you afraid of?” because you saw your friend was seriously afraid. So he stopped laughing.

“I feel strange. It's like someone is following...”

“Let's go back and look.”

“I don't want it, it's scary,” Seohyun denied, tugging on his young friend's sleeve to make him walk quickly. At first glance, it looked like two people walking arm in arm intimately. In fact, he only held the tip of his shirt's sleeve.

"Do you want this? When you want to come out for a walk, call me."

“Can you not talk like this guy is so unemployed?” the woman joked back.

Two people walked side by side along the road. Discussing each other's personal work and reaching out to friends. and seniors and juniors joining the camp Laughter lingered in the air. A mass of happiness spreads until people around you can feel it.

Someone stepped out from hiding. He looked at the two shadows stretching along the road with a sad feeling...

“Wow...amazing. Really amazing. Our kids did so well that I'm in shock.”

Hyoyeon said this sentence over and over for I don't know how many dozen times. Seohyun smiled as she changed clothes. Sooyoung leaned in from the open door.

                “EXO

become a child Since when has it been hers? It's mine!”

Then, the atmosphere in the bedroom immediately heated up as a battle broke out over the privacy of each other. Until Yoona, who was lying on the bed reading a magazine, Seohyun had to get up and scream loudly. It's a truce.

Seohyun frowned. Be warned that the neighbor will come and leave a warning note in front of the room again.

“These unnies make me jealous. If I'm not busy with work, I'd like to go see them too.”

“That's right, I want to go, and I'm already prepared. But the piano teacher suddenly called to reschedule the lesson.”

“Kids, who do you like?” Hyoyeon asked the two maknaes. Ready to choose to reserve first, have first rights, "I reserve Kai"

“Hyung, we've seen Jongin since we were kids. Don't you feel like a mother who is about to devour her own child?” Yoona smiled mischievously.

“Damn, I mean, I chose to go to a special stage too.” A mother who wanted to devour her own child walked next to her, her eyebrows furrowed knowingly.

“I made a reservation for Kris,” Sooyoung shouted from the kitchen. After a while he appeared and joined the group with his hands full of snacks.

“Who should I choose? Is Luhan good?” Yoona looked like she was thinking hard.

Seohyun dropped a jar of makeup remover cream on the floor with a loud bang. The three turned to look. before Hyoyeon immediately started teasing. No matter how Seohyun denied it, no one would listen.

Yoona pretended to be annoyed. “Then I can choose Sehun. Consider it a sacrifice for your younger sibling.”

“It means Seohyun chose Luhan,” Sooyoung helped to conclude.

"What? I haven't even said my name yet."

“So who will you choose?”

Seohyun was silent. Shaking his head in denial

“Don't choose”

"cannot! You have to choose!!!” Hyoyeon didn't let the maknae go easily.

Seohyun thought for a long time. Then I realized why she had to listen to these mischievous older sisters.

"Eh...you guys don't know what's going on!"

The sound of the bathroom door slamming shut The three older sisters laughed because they had succeeded in teasing the youngest.

                “SM Town

This year, you have a special stage with Exo.” As soon as the manager's voice stopped, Girls' Generation immediately united and transformed into fangirls of their juniors.

"wait a minute! Stop it kids, not everyone, some people.”

“That's not fair,” someone teased. Living with these monkeys, sometimes the manager has to be deaf. He turned to Girls' Generation's first subunit and said.

“The first queue is

TTS

With Chanyeol, D.O., Sehun, and...Luhan."

“I won't give in, I'll take Xiao Lu,” Hyoyeon teased. and Yoona accepted the joke immediately.

“Seohyun, did you secretly go to the manager's lobby?”

“What?” The youngest was speechless at her older sister's meme.

The other brothers began to ask what had happened. Sooyoung helped summarize it succinctly.

“Seohyun likes Luhan.”

“Unnie!!!”

Girls' Generation laughs happily at teasing the maknae again!

Seohyun had almost forgotten the whole thing. Until practice day

EXO-K

The three of them left the television station and arrived at the practice room together. where someone was already waiting

Luhan stood up. Saluting with a low bow until Taeyeon had to say it was okay. Tiffany glanced at the maknae who didn't dare make eye contact with the older sibling. and immediately started teasing

“It feels like the atmosphere in this room has turned pink. I don't know how. Do you like pink?..Luhan?”

“No, I like white,” Luhan replied with a composed expression. This is different from senior girls who use stage acting to get the attention of the audience.

“Oh my God!”

A warning bell rang out in his head. Seohyun turned to go out and change her shoes. But not before her older sister's hand reached out and pulled her into the group.

“We're on the same page, Seohyun likes white.” Tiffany's smiling eyes twinkled in teasing.

Luhan and Seohyun accidentally locked eyes with each other and quickly looked away. Taeyeon saw that they were teasing each other enough so she called everyone together to practice.

Everything was going well until the break when everyone gathered to eat snacks. The EXO boys tensed for a moment but disappeared when their seniors tried to strike up a conversation. Not even Seohyun, who normally doesn't speak much. Still inviting the kids to talk, except..they're alone.

Taeyeon narrowed her eyes and hid a smile. She must act as a good leader by helping open her mind. Hey! Open the opportunity

“Luhan, I heard you like TVXQ. But don't you like Soshi?"

“No,” the person being accused hurriedly denied.

“So, who do you like in Sochi?” Taeyeon flipped the question over with a straight face.

“Yes?” The young man was confused by his senior's tricks.

“Who do you like? Pick one.”

“I like everyone,” Uubib replied, his face turning red all the way to his ears.

“Heh heh heh!” Taeyeon and Tiffany shouted together.

“How can you like everyone equally? Do you have nine hearts!?”

“There must be someone you especially admire. Like I want to duet too. I want to dance too. I want to have special memories together on a stage like this!”

Luhan turned to look at the youths. Unable to help his older brother, he turned around, accidentally shifting his gaze to someone who had been sitting silent the whole time. Tiffany and Taeyeon secretly smiled, completely enthralled.

“TaeTiSeo is the group I want to work with the most.”

“This guy is…” Tiffany shook her head in disgust. Taeyeon said the word 'truly stupid' silently at the end.

Seohyun picked up a glass of water and drank it then stood up and led everyone back to practicing again. While someone could only curse themselves in their hearts for letting the opportunity go.

..cowardly!

EXO-K

There wasn't much time to practice because it coincided with promotion time. Therefore, Luhan often comes to the practice room alone to practice.

One evening he thought there was no one in the practice room. So he opened the door without knocking in advance. Someone practicing dancing in front of the mirror was visibly startled.

“Sorry.” He bowed ninety degrees guiltily.

“It's okay.” Seohyun faltered because she didn't know what to call him. In the end, he used polite words as he was accustomed to.

“Are you… coming to practice?”

“Yes, Chanyeol, Kyungsoo, and Sehun will follow soon. Am I bothering you?”

"no"

The phone in my backpack suddenly rang. Seohyun then stepped forward to receive him. Minho's cheerful voice came over the phone, telling him to hurry and join him at the restaurant. Today there is a big dealer.

“I'm practicing.”

“Then let me deliver it to the practice room.”

“Please bring four or five sets.”

“Who is she with?”

Seohyun glanced at the person standing in the middle of the room staring blankly. Luhan was startled, only to realize that the entire time he had been standing and watching and not secretly. But to the point of listening intently to her talking on the phone.

"Uh, Exo, don't forget to bring it just in case."

It takes less than half an hour. Minho arrived with his hands full of food. The group of guys got along well without her having to try to create an atmosphere. There was only one person who was relatively quiet. Seohyun looked at the person who kept his head down and ate with uneasiness. I want to talk but I don't know what to talk about.

“Lu Hanshi...”

"Hey! Why do you call it so formal?” Minho immediately greeted.

“Oh, what should I call it?”

“It's normal,” he said, and she noticed that Minho didn't call Luhan..hyung.

“You can call me normal. Suoh also doesn't call me hyung,” the owner of the name quickly said.

“Not at all. Anyway, you have to call me..in a polite way. Or else call me...Oppa." He spoke softly at the last word, still averting his eyes. He didn't know why.

"Then call me Opa," Luhan said softly. He unconsciously smiled at the lunchbox in front of him.

Chanyeol, Kyungsoo, Sehun shouted hoooooo... together. Until Luhan had to kick his legs under the table in order.

"Oppa...oppa...oppa..." The three young men still didn't stop.

“Yah! Really noisy! You guys shut up and eat!” Minho scolded his juniors. I secretly looked at the two young men who were acting strangely towards each other. I hope it wasn't what I thought!

One evening, Minho called and invited his best friend to go running together along the Han River. Seohyun hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The pair ran for a while and found members.

EXO

Some people come to exercise as well. Chanyeol invites Minho to join a basketball group that is currently lacking members.

Minho turned to his friend and raised an eyebrow in question. Seohyun nodded as she didn't need to rush anywhere. When we got to the field, we met young men. Both Exok and ExoM That's right..she forgot that 'M' hasn't returned to China yet.

The boys were clearly pleased to have such a special audience member join them to watch the match. Someone then helped raise the temperature of the competition by making a challenge:

"Whoever loses the treat..."

Casual atmosphere What at first immediately turned serious, the boys began to divide into groups. Minho is with K's side. The other side is a member from the M side. Seohyun separated and sat on the sidelines to watch.

The competition begins with a heated battle. Kris and Minho were both violent, so the others had to be fierce to protect themselves as well. Seohyun looked on with some uneasiness. The more everyone plays, the more seriously everyone competes like a bet, not just a single meal.

Before long, someone was slammed into the middle of the field by Minho. His teammates went to see him and carried him out to the sidelines. She then saw that it was Luhan.

“Oppa, how are you?”

The person who brought him hurriedly passed on and rushed back to play. So she had to help Luhan sit down and rest. Turned around and picked up a bottle of water and poured it for him to clean the wound on his elbow. It looks worse than I thought. Blood was constantly oozing out of the scrape and she had to pull out a handkerchief and wrap it up.

Luhan turned away. He looked at the sweet-colored handkerchief and quickly rejected it.

"nevermind Blood-stained clothes may not be able to be washed.”

“Let it be. It's just a cloth..."

Seohyun pulled the other's arms around and wrapped them around her. Luhan's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the closeness with a happy and sad heart. When the other party said

“Minho really plays too hard. I apologize on his behalf.”

Apologize to each other. The relationship between two close friends must be strong according to the rumors he heard. He never believed or refused to believe until he saw it with his own eyes.

"finished"

"thank you"

First aid completed They both sat in awkward silence. The two teams on the field continued to compete fiercely. Even though M's side had fewer people because Luhan was injured. But Chris didn't give up easily. He had almost doubled his lead now.

“You like to come out to the riverside…” I saw the audience glance over. The speaker hurriedly added the word “...Or?” was followed.

“Yes, I like to come out and read books or ride my bike. I've seen trainees too. But I don't know who it is.”

“Yes, we often come to play sports,” was all Luhan said. I didn't tell you that every time I come to the Han River. He always had hope of meeting someone.

A cheer from the field caught the couple's attention and they turned to look. The M side won by a large margin. Minho looked upset. She quickly stood up and walked over to her friend. and told the group of young men,

“Today, I took care of myself…”

"No need to. According to the rules, the loser must be fed." People who have never lost face frown. He wasn't angry that he had to babysit. But I'm more angry at losing.

“Just a fun bet. You don't have to be serious," Chris said simply. He seemed still angry that his groupmate was injured.

Seohyun had to help reconcile the others. Around the group there were expressions of confusion on their faces.

“Quiet, both of you. I'm your senior. Do not disobey orders. I raised it myself!”

Special stage at

LA

It was postponed because there was a television recording on a station. Luhan was secretly a little disappointed. Everyone is busy and hasn't practiced together for a long time. Let's meet again backstage.

The sweet-faced young man held the handkerchief tightly. He tried many times to find the opportunity to return it to its owner. But he didn't dare walk up to her because there were always seniors and juniors around him. until the end of the concert Everyone gathered on stage to say thank you. Then everyone separated to wave goodbye to the fans around the hall.

It was the first time he saw Seohyun alone. He followed the frail figure walking around the stage to thank the fans thoroughly. He just looked..looked…and looked. I didn't even realize how my legs followed her. If before he could reach her Someone ran up behind him. Then he pretended to push Seohyun's head playfully. Luhan stopped his feet.

He hurriedly took another step. Strange heart twitches But don't dare to search for the true meaning.

Another missed opportunity The handkerchief was still lying in his pocket...what was he going to do?

EXOM returned to China after that. He could only practice alone, lonely. Meanwhile, Group K practices with TaeTiSeo often. It wasn't until SM Town that Taiwan practiced together again. His heart skipped a beat as he waited backstage for his turn to perform.

Tiffany called everyone together before going on stage.

“Let's join forces. This stage is our first stage.”

Taeyeon was the first to step down as the leader. Tiffany followed in second, followed by Sehun, D.O., Chanyeol, and Luhan.

“Seohyun, where is the maknae?” Taeyeon asked.

Seohyun, who was fixing her hair in a corner, called out, "Wait a minute." before rushing to join the group She placed her hand on it without looking at who it was before. The owner of the hand was startled, his heart trembling because of the warm, soft hand placed on it. Tiffany, who was watching, pretended to make a strange noise in mockery. Luha's face turned red. But luckily backstage was quite dark so no one could see.

                “1 2 3 FIGHTING!”

three girls

TTS

Performing the subunit's promotional song Luhan and Sehun split up to stand next to the center stage at the front. All the while, he unconsciously kept his eyes on the image on the monitor. He had been looking forward to it for many years. But he still doesn't get tired of looking at it over and over again.

Today has finally arrived..the day he gets to stand on the same stage as his seniors...at....at...at....he hurriedly brushes off the words. one goes out of mind This minute..just doing your best is enough.

Then..everything on stage was like a dream. More than three minutes It passed so quickly that I almost forgot to breathe. He felt like he was floating off the stage. Even more so when we heard the praise from the senior and junior staff in the company about the best show of that night. His heart swelled even more in his chest.

“Thank you for your hard work.” He looked up at the sound of thanks. Two senior girls passed by to greet the members.

EXO

Other people already

Then there's only...Seohyun.

Luhan smiled nervously. His hand clenched his handkerchief tightly. He muttered the same thank you. And then I wanted to shake my head for probably saying something more impressive than that.

...How naive!

Seohyun looked at the clock and decided to grab a hoodie and put it on over her pajamas. Grab a mask and put it on your mouth. Then put on running shoes. Yoona shouted from the bedroom where she was going. Because it's already very late.

“Go run.”

“It's almost midnight.”

“I can't sleep. So I intend to go exercise a bit.”

“Hurry back, the wind is so strong it looks like it's going to rain.”

Seohyun accepted her older sister's words. She almost turned around. After coming out of the building, we found that the wind was blowing as strong as YoonA had said.

The girl ran to the riverside. Stop and stretch your legs while watching the lights from the bridge change into different colors. Tonight the atmosphere was not as scary as I thought. Maybe it's because the weather is good. So many people came out to walk around.

Seohyun walked to the end. I debated whether or not to run inside. When it was discovered that a man ran ahead. So she ran after him at a distance. At least I have friends.

Lately, because of fear, she has confined herself to the dormitory. Stop by to exercise at the gym sometimes when the sisters are gone. But she missed the fresh air by the river more.

The man in front ran quickly and disappeared from view. Seohyun tried to speed up her pace. But she wasn't born to run four times a hundred. Finally, I decided to jog until I turned into a bicycle path. It was then that she felt someone following her.

Seohyun glanced back. Just in time to see a shadow slip into the side of the road. The girl became more angry than afraid. I began to be unable to bear the invasion of my privacy. Anyway..tonight she won't run away again.

I think so. Seohyun kept running. Act like you don't know But always looking for an opportunity to reveal the true face of his followers. She saw a sharp turn ahead. So he hurriedly ran ahead and hid behind a large tree. He waited for a while, then someone ran after him. The oversized hoodie made it difficult to see who it was.

She almost thought she was an ordinary runner. If the other party doesn't look left and right like they're looking for someone.

It must be right.

Even though she was afraid, Seohyun was determined to fight and not give up. There was only a branch in her hand as she launched herself into the middle of the road. The other party was startled. Prepared to run away But Seohyun blocked the way with his middle arm.

“Why did you follow me?”

The other party shook his head. Try pulling the hood down to cover your face more.

“I know you followed me. Tell me exactly who you are.” The young woman approached, although she was also afraid of being attacked. But curiosity is greater. The other party slowly retreated. When he got the chance, he turned and ran away. Seohyun immediately ran after him. Can't believe it's happening today. The day she ran after the criminal herself

The stick in his hand was thrown away. The other party was stunned for a bit. But still refused to stop running. Seohyun jumped in and used all her strength to push the other person down.

young man trying to get up One hand pulled the hood over her face and wouldn't let go, causing quite a bit of discomfort.

He threw the girl down to the floor. Then he stopped and turned to look with concern. Seohyun used that moment to tug at the hem of his shirt. Instead, she stuck a handkerchief in her pocket. She looked down, frowning at the familiar pattern. Then automatically send out a cry to call people who are about to run.

“Oppa!”

The young man moved, and she decided to call his name.

“Luhan oppa!”

She thought she would be rejected. But the other party stood still. After a while, he reached out his hand for her to hold to help him stand up.

Seohyun looked at the person with his hood open confusedly. Even though I can guess, I don't think it's true.

"excuse me..."

“Why?” She couldn't quite put her finger on the beginning.

“I intend to return the handkerchief. But I don't know how to return it,” the other replied with a faint smile. with your own toes I didn't dare look up and meet her eyes.

“Then why do you have to run away?”

"Uh..." the person asked, confused. Seohyun narrowed her eyes. He almost smiled with his expression like a child who had been caught doing something wrong.

“Never mind it, don't come after me quietly later. Like this again..it's scary.”

“Then…” Luhan raised his head. Eye contact with the girl in the dark "Can we walk together..."

“Yes?” Even though I understood the meaning But her womanhood told her to pretend she didn't understand that sentence.

Luhan bit his lip. His hands were clasped together tightly. It took all the effort I had ever had to say it.

“Once, I used to walk and chase after your shadow. Just seeing our shadows walking side by side on the road makes me happy.”

Seohyun's eyes widened. I didn't think I'd hear such sincerity.

“But..right now, I want more than that.” He stepped closer to her. “Just one time...that I'll ask for a chance to walk beside you...just one more time. Only once.”

Seohyun averted her sincere eyes and looked at the ground. She took a step back as if to refuse. But then he stretched out his hand in front of him. Wait for the other person to put their hand down.

“Just this one time..?” Seohyun teasingly asked.

“Many times…” Luhan replied with a happy laugh.

On the dark road The moonlight shone through the clouds and fell onto the ground, causing two shadows to walk side by side along the endless road.
