Somewhere Only We Know
Main Character: Kris
Rating: G
Genre: Friendship, Slight fluff
Plot: Kris builds a special place for the whole EXO at a secret area in Guangzhou.
December 2014
Kris wandered around at an isolated area in Guangzhou where there are small houses and earthly nature surroundings. He longed to look for a place that can be classified as nearly a paradise yet also an exact sanctuary for peace. After walking for half an hour, he saw a barren land at the center which is surrounded with tall trees, bushes and flowers. The lot area’s size is quite big, and Kris wonders if someone actually owned that parcel of land. But whatever the cost of the land would be, he felt determined in his heart to purchase it. No matter how much is the worth of that land, he is willing to buy it.
May 2015
Kris was able to purchase the land surprisingly at a reasonable price from the owner. Today, he was bound to go to Starbucks to meet with the architect that he contacted few weeks back to discuss about the house he wanted to be built. Both of them sat down over a table of their respective drinks that they ordered. Kris then slowly told the architect that the house will have six bedrooms, several walk-in closet rooms for the members, a music room, a kitchen, a library, a dining room, and a living room respectively. The architect noticed that Kris missed out one important thing - the bathroom.
“Kris, how many bathrooms do you want inside the house?” The architect asked him. Kris, before answering the question, suddenly had his mind drifted away over to a certain memory few years back.
“Kris ge, will you watch me over as I take a bath tonight? I’m afraid that there will be ghosts again inside the bathroom.” Tao asked Kris with pleading eyes.
“Again?!” Kris answered back with astonishment.
“Ge ge, pretty please?” Tao pleaded with his two hands prayerfully.
“Okay okay.” Kris finally submitted to the Panda’s plea. And he whispered to himself, “Aish, this brat…”
“Uhm Kris? How many bathrooms do you want in the house?” The architect asked him again to get Kris’s attention back to earth.
“Four bathrooms would be good enough I guess.” Kris answered with a smile.
June 2016
It was a deal between the architect and Kris that both of them would share the job in doing the interior design of the house. Kris volunteered to paint the walls inside of the house. Also, he did most of the shopping for the necessary appliances, furniture, and other accessories that he wanted to place inside the house. He had also bought plushies for each member wherever he went for the past few years except for the Rilakkuma stuffed toys. He noticed that Chanyeol kept receiving the said stuffed toys since 2014, and as much as possible for Kris, he does not want the house to end up as a “Rilakkuma Land”.
Kris spent one week to look for the most beautiful photos of each member and EXO as a whole taken by the fansites. He printed all of his selections and started counting on how many picture frames he needed to buy for the next day. He planned to hang all of the pictures inside the house. He also drew a lot of weird and random things that his creative mind came up with, and he planned to hang those as well as a display around the house.
What he did in the past several months for the house was exhausting, but Kris thinks that everything he had done is worth it especially that all of the time and the money he spent for the house was done out of love.
September 2016
The house is completely finished. Kris finally hangs a carved wooden framed board and had it customized by adding these words:
“We made so many memories in different places, but I hope this house will remind us of the brotherhood that can never be broken and a place where peace and healing found us.”
Author’s Note: Do you think this is the end? Well, not yet. There is definitely a sequel to that. Well, let’s hope for the best with tomorrow’s mediation result and where this story will take us. :)
