The Untold Story Of An EXO-L

PROLOGUE: The Four Types of Fans

Third Person POV

Fan, what is a Fan? It's not literally a fan that can give you breeze to ease the hotness that you feel. For me, a fan is the person who admire a celebrity or another famous person.

Each of us admire a celebrity or famous person. She or he may be local or International because having someone to adore is natural for a human being. Even a celebrity admired other celebrity or other popular person.

If you as me, there are four kinds of a fan girl or a fan boy:

1. Poor or broke - they are the fans who can't buy merchandise of the celebrities or idols that they adore.

They can't buy because their earnings can only sustain their needs. The only thing they can do to show to their idols the love that they can give is by watching the movies or drama series where their was in. Not just that, they stream all the videos and music videos of their idols.

They do it nonstop because it's their way to show their support for their idols. But, they only stream if they have load for their internet connection.

The only thing that made them sad and a little hurt was the fact that they can't afford to go in the concert or even their idols fan meeting. In short, they're always Team House.

2. Stricted by the Parents - they are the fans who can buy kpop merchandises even if just little by little. They only buy merchandises if they have extra money.

They always stream their idols music videos and videos because they have WiFi connection or always had a load for internet connection.

But, they can't also attend their idols concert or fan meeting because their house are far from the venue. However, even though they are near the venue and have save money to buy tickets, they can't still go because their parents didn't allowed them to go. In short, they're still Team House.

3. Middle Class - they're the fans who aren't broke or rich, they are just in the middle. They can buy their idols official merchandises if they have budget.

They're always stream their idols music videos and videos because they have WiFi connection.

They can attend their idols concert and fan meeting if they afford the price of the ticket even if they are only in gen ad.

5. Rich Kids - They're the fans who buy their idols official merchandises and albums even if it's still pre-order.

They are always updated in their idols social media accounts and some of them became spazzer because they have WiFi connection and not only that, they also have different kinds of gadgets to stream on.

The Best thing that they can do as a fan is to attend all their idols concert and fan meeting. They never miss one to attend to whenever the venue is. Not only that, they can afford the VVIP seats because they're rich.

But they are the secret that they can do during the fan meeting or concert, they use their social media accounts to video what happened during the event so that even the Team House feel what they are feeling during the fan meeting or the concert.

But, do you know what are their similarities except the fact that they are fans? They stan lots of idols and because of that, they have husband/wife, exes, boyfriend/girlfriend, crushes and suitors that they called.

If you ask me, I am a fan in the second kind because I have strict parents and I can buy kpop merchandises even just little by little.

Well, to be honest, I am like a Multi-fam because I can stan other kpop group. When I hear their songs even if I am not their fan and eventually like that songs, I will immediately download it in my phone.

Even if I liked other kpop groups songs, I will never leave my main fandom, EXO-L.

But I will tell you something, I am not beautiful and sexy just like the other fans. I am one of the people who they are calling ugly, monster, witch and freak. They call me that because of my appearance.

It's sad to think but it's the reality and the real world. The real world where there are people who judge other people because of what they see.

Chapter 1: Renaissance Villacosta

Rennaissance Villacosta POV

I am here in my rented house, laying on my single size bed. I just finished cleaning my small home.

This house that I rented was small because this is what I can afford and besides I will live alone so it's enough for me.

When you entered the door, you will see the small living room. As in, one three-seated long couch and in front of it was a cabinet. Above the cabinet is the television and beside the television is two small size speaker. The cabinet don't have a door so I just put all my compact disc there and above it is the DVD player.

When you sit in the couch, you can see the mini kitchen in the left side. The mini kitchen is two in one because it's not only a kitchen but it's also a dining room.

Then when you stand in front of the stove, there's a door in both left and right side of it.

The door in the left side that is near the living room was the bed room. While the right side was the restroom.

I am glad that even if this rented house of mine is small, it has a bedroom and a restroom.

I decided to lay in the bed and take a rest because I felt tired with all the things that I did here inside the house.

While resting, I accidentally look at my one and only kpop merchandise, the unofficial poster of EXO that was hanging in the wall. The tiredness that I felt instantly fades because of their handsomeness.

Anyway, I bought that poster in the market. I unexpectedly saw it while looking for the school supplies that I want to buy. I felt glad that time because EXO are still complete in it. And then, I bought it because I have extra money to buy it.

It's my chance to own one EXO poster even if it's unofficial. So, I didn't let go of it and immediately bought it.

While looking at EXO poster, my mind instantly wondered. I wonder, when will they perform as a complete group again? When will I get the chance to attend their concert?

It's so difficult to live as a poor kpop fan, always team house. Sorry for being dramatic but, I really miss EXO and I also miss the former members.

I tapped my face and shake my head because I'm starting to feel sad. So, I'll just take a rest and sleep. I have lots to do starting tomorrow.

Hours have been passed and today is a new day. New day and the start of another week, monday.

I just came back from school and here I am now, walking just to go to my work. I work as a service crew in a fast food chain called Mang J.

Just like other restaurants, this fast food chain where I work is always full, specially if it's rush hour.

Anyway, the house that I rented was near in my work and the school that I am attending to. And walking just to go in any of it is like an exercise to me.

I am studying as an ALS student because it's been years since I became an outbof school youth. I stopped studying because I need to work in the young age.

There's another reason, but I'm not yet ready to tell it to someone. Now that I have a chance to continue my study, I will not miss it.

Anyway, I am inside the Mang J and I am currently cleaning the table that the customer used minutes age.

It's almost out break time and there's an area here where the employees can eat their meals. But, it's there choice if they want to eat in that area or not.

The break time for the employees are shifting because this fast food chain is always full. The working schedule of the employees are also by shift because most of the employees here are working students.

After cleaning the table that the customers used, I lifted the dirty dishes inside the basin and give it to the dishwasher. Then, someone tapped my right shoulder so I immediately turned around to look who did it.

"Rena, what will we eat later?" one of my colleague, also my friend asked.

"How about you? What do you want to eat?" I asked her back.

"Don't me, Rena. I am the first one to asked so you have to answer me first." she said a little annoyed.

"I'm just kidding, you know," I said while laughing. "You making yourself looked ugly." still laughing."

"HEY! RENNAISSANCE VILLACOSTA, I'M NOT UGLY!" she said and still annoyed.

"I have acnes and I am chubby. So what? that doesn't define my gorgeousness." she said proudly.

I can't stopped myself from laughing hard because of what she just said. "And so do I, dear." I just said but still laughing.

"Hey! Keep quiet! We can here your voices outside sa kitchen." Manager Choi said as he stopped us from laughing loudly and then he left the kitchen.

Manager Choi is one of the managers here and he's the only employee who is a foreigner here.

I heard, its been five years since he decided to stay here in the Philippines. But, I don't know if he will stay here for good.

To be honest, he look handsome but, my loves and my bias wreckers are more handsome.

When the time turns to 1 O'clock in the afternoon, all the employees who's time for the break time immediately finished what they're doing and I'm one of them.

On the outside, I'm also finishing what I am doing but on the inside, I am celebrating. I almost said "Yehet!" because it's finally our break for today.

When I'm finished, I untie my apron and put it inside my locker and then get my wallet, it has an EXO logo.

I fix myself and my clothes. Then I hooked my arms around her arms and I said, "Let's go!"

She smiled and get her wallet before she close her locker. Then said, "Come on! Let's go to Aling Vida's Karinderya."

Aling Vida's Karinderya is one of the small eatery three blocks away from the Mang J. Aling Vida is the one who cooked all the dishes that she's selling and it's totally delicious. Her dishes are the best and not only that, it's affordable.

Minutes passed, we're arrived at the Karinderya. We looked at the menu hanging in the wall before we looked at the dishes that already been displayed.

All of the dishes for today are my favorites. Want to know what are those?

Its Pork Sinigang, Chicken Curry, Fried Milk Fish, Spring Rolls, Beef Mechado and lots more to chose from.

When we decided what to eat, we approach Aling Vida and said, "Aling Vida, why all of your dishes today are my favorites?" I asked teasingly that made her laughed.

"Really? That's nice to hear," she paused and her laughed replace by her beautiful smile. "So, have you decided what do you want to eat?" she asked.

"There's a lot to choose from," I paused. "For now, I decided to order Beef Mechado and three rice." I said before I looked at Marivic.

"How about you?" I asked Marivic.

"Yes, I'll order Chicken Curry and one rice." She said.

Aling Vida get our orders and put it in a tray before she give it to us and whispered, "I added meat in your orders because you're one of my beloved customers who always eat here."

"Thank you!" Marivic and I said to Aling Vida because of the additional meat in our orders.

When we got our orders, we occupied the empty table and sit in its chairs. Then we started eating.

We took our time while eating and then in less than thirty minutes, we've finished eating.

We clean our table because Aling Vida's helper is cleaning other empty table. We do this to help them a little.

"Aling Vida, we're leaving. See you tomorrow!" Marivic and I said after we're finished cleaning the table that we used.

"Okay, thanks for helping us out." we just smiled at her and wave our hands before we take our leave.

We come back to work and another hours has been passed, it's time to get home. Now, I'm inside my home and changed my clothes before I went to the mini kitchen and cooked omelette and fried rice.

Today is a tiring day but that's okay because I became a working student to earn and save money for my future. I only live alone and I need to do this to make a living.

I suddenly remembered the memes/quotes of EXO members that I read in my social media account.

"Grades are just a number." - Kim Jongdae

"Play now, study later." - Oh Sehun

"Don't follow your dreams, just follow me instead." - Kim Junmyeon

I laughed because of that. It really gives me good vibes. It's a pity that I forgot the other members inspirational quotes.

I sighed, I really miss them. Anyway, I eat the omelette and the fried rice that I cooked. I watch some EXO music videos when I'm done eating. Then, lay in the bed and fall asleep.

Chapter 2: Her Best Friend, Marivic

Maria Victoria Domagoso POV

Hi! I'm Maria Victoria Domagoso, just call me Marivic. Eighteen years of existence in the world. I am one of Rena's colleague and I'm also her best friend.

Well, I am the one who gave Renaissance a nickname. I know her name is beautiful and the meaning of her name is amazing. It's just that its to long to say it. So I called her Rena.

Her name, Renaissance means rebirth of a new era. Maybe you're asking me where did I learned it. Well, I learned it in Music subject when I still studying in regular class.

Anyway, I am hyper just like Rena. To be honest, I'm not totally into kpop but I knew some girl group and some boy group in the kpop industry. I am more into korean drama.

I knew that Renaissance is one of the EXO-Ls out there because it's obvious. How can I not notice if her wallet has an EXO logo and most of the songs in her phone's playlist are songs of EXO.

Even her phone's wallpaper and lockscreen is EXO. And one more thing, she has an unofficial EXO poster and in that poster, they are still complete. Even if that poster in unofficial merchandise of EXO and even if it's the only one that she has, for now, she love it.

By the way, Rena and I are classmates in ALS and we have the same hobbies. We both love reading wattpad stories. We also love watching korean dramas and movies.

I am now walking. I planned to go in Rena's house. I know that she rented a house because she took me there a couple of times. So this is the third time that I will go in her house.

After less than ten minutes, I arrived outside her house. I got here fast because her house is just two blocks away from mine. I am glad that our houses are near so that I can go to her and she can go to mine if we wants to hang out.

If you look the house from the outside, it looks big. Well, it's really big but it's an apartment building. it's a three-story building and it has lots of rooms inside that you can rent. This building looks a little old but still looks sturdy.

I took a deep breath and let go of it before I go inside the building. I immediately went to Rena's house because we're getting late to school.

It took me just a couple of minutes because there's no one who will stopped me and besides I know the landlord here. She's my mother's godmother.

I knocked the door loudly, not once but thrice. I did it to make sure that she will wake up if she's still sleeping and besides no one will stop me because most of the tenant are not here by this time of the day.

"MISS RENAISSANCE VILLACOSTA! OPEN THIS DOOR. WE ALREADY SURROUNDED YOUR HOUSE!" I said as I yelled outside of her door like a police officers on the raid. But no one is opening the door.

"MISS RENNAISSANCE VILLACOSTA, IF YOU'RE NOT GOING OUT, WE WILL USE VIOLENCE JUST TO OPEN YOUR DOOR." I yelled again outside her door.

i decided to knock again but before I even do it, she opened the door. Then I noticed that she still look sleepy and that made me chuckle.

She looked at me and when she realizes what I just did to make her wake up. She suddenly hit my head.

"OUCH! You're hurting me." I said.

"You are the one to blame. It's still early in the morning and you yelled outside my door like a police officer who wants to arrest me." she said a little annoyed.

"I did that because it took you so long to open the door." I said sulking.

"What can I say to my friend who's always sulky?" She said after she sighed and then paused.

"Fine, get in." she added as she open the door wide and stepped aside.

"Who said I always sulky?" I asked but I am smiling from ear to ear.

When I entered her house, I went to her small living room and sit in the long couch.

"So, why did you took so long to open the door? I yelled because of that." I asked looking at her.

"I am sleeping soundly and then you destroyed my beautiful dream." she said but this time, she said it sulking.

I smiled at her teasingly when I heard what she called to her dream and said, "So you had a beautiful dream. What happened inside that beautiful dream of yours?"

"I can't tell it to you because there's a chance that it will not happen if I tell it to anyone." she explained as she avoid my gazes.

I chuckled because of her reaction. Then I said, "So you really had a beautiful dream. sorry about that my friend."

"Anyway, we're getting late so you better move quickly." I paused. "We might get a sermon if we're late." she moved quickly because of what I said.

She went to the restroom and took a bath. After twenty minutes, she got out of the restroom and then went to her bedroom. Then after ten minutes, she got out of her bedroom.

She is wearing a white polo shirt, a black maong pants and her bag is at her back. She made her hair into pony tail and wear her black rubber shoes.

"Marivic, come on. We're getting late." she said when she's finished wearing her black rubber shoes.

I stood up and walk towards the door. She followed me after she gets her door keys. She locked the door and then we started walking to go to school.

When we arrived in the school, we immediately went to our classroom. We are relieved to see that our teacher is not yet here. So, we just sit in our seats quietly and wait for our teacher to arrive.
