"Elle, have you seen Tao's latest Weibo dp?" Cindy Eoni asked since she's the only one who has it.

It's so hard understanding Hanja, I tried to but it's bringing the hell out of me. I even used Google Translate with every character I saw, but fudge. It's no help.

"Why Eoni?"

She handed me her phone and I was shocked when I saw it.

Damn it! What the hell is he doing? Is he trying to mess with our career?

I gave her phone back. And dialed Tao's number.

We're on our way to our interview, and don't ask me about Kz Eoni. Because she's sleeping at the back seat.

[Missed me?]

Cut with the sweet words, Tao. My madness will surely fade.

"Why did you do that?"

[Do what?] He laughingly asked.

"Stop acting innocent, Zi Tao. I know you know what I mean."

[Don't be mad at me, baby. Your face wasn't seen on the picture.]

He just changed his Weibo dp with our picture. The angle was taken on our backs. So it's just the back view. His arm is placed over my shoulder and my head is leaning on his shoulder.

I sighed, "But what if they find out? Aren't you afraid?"

[There's only one thing I'm afraid of, and that is losing you.]

I felt all my blood rushing into my face, "Shut up." I said before ending the call.

I hate him, for making me feel like this. Ugh. That panda!

I logged in to my facebook account. No one knows that I'm still using it, it looks like an abandoned account. I'm not posting, my chat box is off-line for everyone. I'm just checking it out for updates like news about me, rumors about Exo, the shippers, pictures of us and such.

The first thing I saw in my newsfeed is Tao's Weibo picture. I started reading the comments, I saw my name and a lot of girls' name. I saw threats too.

'That's Elle <3'

'That's Kris with a wig. Lol.'

'It's Kirstin!!'

'I'm going to kill that girl!'

'Who could that be? o.O'

'Towel XD'

'Is this real? Maybe that's a Jongdae.'

'It's from Tao's Weibo, so it's true. ^'

'Is he in a relationship?'

'Omo'

'My world is falling apart *le cries pacific ocean*'

'That's me ke ke ke*

Oh my. I bit my lip, this is the start of our end. Huh? I just hope he won't do something more than this.

"Well, it's okay with me. The fans who'll stay are the real fans." Suho Oppa said.

"I agree with Suho sunbae-nim, besides you already hid your relationship for two years." Cindy Eoni added.

"Aren't you guys afraid for our careers?" I exclaimed.

Fudge. I'm not yet ready to reveal our relationship, I just don't want everything to be wasted.

"So you don't want them to know?" I can feel the sadness in Tao's voice.

"Of course, I want them to."

"It's settled then, we won't give them any confirmation once they start asking. We will let you deal with it." YoungMin seonsaeng-nim said.

The picture reached them, and rumors started spreading. We talked about how we are going to deal with it together with our leaders, managers, and the heads of SM.

"Let's call it a day." YoungMin seonsaeng-nim announced.

They started leaving the conference room, they're busy too, you know. Even our managers and leaders. It's just the two of us here.

"Tell me, you really don't want it, do you?" He decided to break the silence.

"I want to, just not this soon."

"Why not?" He shouted.

I took a deep breath, "Because I'm afraid! I'm afraid for what they'll say, on how they will react! I'm afraid for your fans! I've been there, I don't want them to be hurt. They might lose hope."

He sat next to me and hugged me, "Don't worry about them. If they really love me, they'll be happy for us." He cupped my face, "I love you, okay?" I nodded, "I'll never blame you for anything." He gave me a peck on the lips.

"I love you too." I said.

"We'll take it slowly if you want." He said.

"Thank you." I muttered.

I hope they'll be happy for us. Good thing that he's here.
