EXO reaction: writing a song about them after you break up
“Now you want somebody to cure the lonely nights. You wish you had somebody, that could come and make it right, but -, I ain’t somebody with a lot of sympathy.”
Xiumin froze in his place as the lyrics hit him like a hard, thick wall of stone. Everything started coming down on him when all he wanted to do is clean the house, grab something to eat and keep on living with his life without you there. As sad as it made him feel to hear those words come from you, on the radio, it also madden him deeply. It was too much for him to bare. You broke up recently and he was struggling to get back on the track, to get used to the feeling, while you were nicely writing songs about him. Even though he changed the radio post and moved on with his doings, he couldn’t shake off the lyrics from his head and how it affected him.
“I just need you to disappear, that’s all I need, just go to the girls you secretly flirted with.”
Junmyeon was talking to some higher ups when he first heard your song, some trainees feeling the need to blast it out for the whole company to hear. Silence fell upon everyone at the loud sound, the lyrics making the leader widen his eyes in horror. Everyone seemed to know about your recent break up so when they all turned to Junmyeon with a questioning look, your accusations putting him in a bad light, he only cleared his throat and gave out a fake smile, continuing with his presentation. He’s going to settle everything with you after, like an adult. You’ll pay for this sis, nobody ruins Kim Junmyeon’s image.
“It doesn’t matter anyways, when this night is over I’ll forget you again and live like that for a while.”
Yixing was in the car when your new song came on, everyone going silent as they turned towards him, waiting for his reaction. He ignored all of their stares and stayed silent, listening carefully to your lyrics, being genuinely curious as to what you’ve been up too. What he wasn’t expecting though was a sad song that made his heart stop for a second. He knew it was about him, your break up was very messy and he knew he hurt you, he never forgot, the thoughts of your happy times hunting him every night. He didn’t say anything even as the song came to an end, he just stayed there, the pain in his chest too much to handle.
“Oh stupid, think about it, are you that slow? You will regret losing me who shines.”
To say Baekhyun was mad when you came on stage and started to sing your new song was a very big understatement. He was fuming. He watched you from his seat as you started dissing him for everyone to hear, growing angrier by the second which scared the rest of the members who were doing everything in their power to calm him down. They actually had to pull him back in his seat and hold him there when your diss won song of the year, making smoke come out of Baekhyun’s ears. How could they give a trophy to a song that made a fool out of him? What the hell?!
“Do you know how I’m doing these days? Do you know that I’m becoming more ruined as I look at you?“
Jongdae tried to keep a straight face as he continued to watch your performance, not wanting to appear affected by the sad words that you sang and cause a scene at an award show. You looked beautiful as always on that stage, gorgeous even, the only thing missing being your radiant smile, it’s absence making his heart drop. You two broke up a couple of months ago and while Jongdae suffered thinking you moved on, this song proved he was very wrong, slapping him in the face with all of your hurt and sadness. He would definitely go and talk to you after your performance.
“She wears a ring, came through without it, You really think she stay true? I doubt it.”
Chanyeol flipped. He was in his studio, trying to somehow get inspiration to finish the rap he was currently writing when your song came next on spotify and he just let it. He let it play thinking that no way it could affect him, but as soon as you started subtly dissing him, Chanyeol started to have second thoughts about his decision. He understood you two didn’t finish on such good terms, but dissing him got this boi on fire and all he could think about it ‘hell no you ain’t doing this to me’. He immediately picked up the pen and started a fresh new song as a response to your dissing, inspiration suddenly back at his side. He wasn’t let you off that easily.
“And I never gave myself to another the way I gave it to you. You don’t even recognize the ways you hurt me, do you?”
He pretended that he didn’t care, that he was okay. He kept a straight face while everyone around him gave a reaction as you sung the heartbreaking lyrics of your newest single. KyungSoo knew immediately he’s the reason behind the song and it hurt. It hurt so much to see the person he considered the most important on stage, with a mic on and singing about him. About how heartbroken he made you feel. But he was just like you. Unfortunately all he could do is keep quiet and try his hardest to not not let it affect him in public.
“Nothing here, no one talking, knowing it’s too late, but sometimes it can get so hard pretending it’s OK.”
Kai was present when you promoted at one music show, staying backstage away from the rest of the guys, and boldly watching the TV showing your performance. As he kept looking at you and listening to your song he realized it’s actually about your breakup from a few months ago and it made him uneasy, it made him…sad. His heart was breaking once again and if it wasn’t for Suho to come and get him, he would have ended breaking down.
“We were always together, we became alike, I can’t even imagine forgetting you.”
Baekhyun was the one who showed Sehun your new song, curious as to how the baby of the group would react to something that was clearly written about him. No emotion could be seen on his face as he proceeded to watch the music video, a sad melody filling the room which even made the older man tear up slightly. As the video came to an end and Baek wiped his tears dramatically, Sehun stood up suddenly and stormed off, phone in hand, ready to give you a call. He didn’t want to show or admit it but your song really messed him up, having no idea he caused you so much pain. This made him realize how much he actually needed you in his life and how far he was willing to go to get you back.
