My Life Anew

I woke up and walked into my bathroom and took a shower, washed my hair, and brushed my teeth. I walked out of my bathroom and put on a black turtle neck and some black skinny jeans. I put my phone in my pocket and put on my watch and placed my iPad inside of my bag and put on my mask. I walked to the entrance of my apartment and put on my dress shoes and walked out of the door with my bag on.

I walked downstairs and took the bus to the cafe I worked at. I got off the bus and walked inside of the cafe and walked to the back and put on my apron and black gloves. I walked to the counter and saw other employees. I looked around and saw that we were out of some things and we're low on others.

"Did anyone order what we were low on?" I asked.

"No we didn't order any" one of the male employees said.

I wrote down a list of everything that we were low on and what we're out out of. I walked to the back and went on the computer and ordered what we needed to stock up and I asked for express shipping with my own money. I walked back to the counters and saw that there were some cakes missing. I grabbed the ingredients to make a strawberry chocolate cake, raspberry truffles, lemon cake, double chocolate cookies, and brownies.

I made all of the cakes, cookies, truffles, and brownies then put them in the display container. I looked inside of the ice cream machine and saw that we were low on ice cream so I made some more. I cleaned everything and everywhere until it was spotless. I helped make the orders and helped bring the orders to the customers. I made sure to make the customers feel happy and respected. As it was nearing time to close up the store everyone left. I was left all alone at the cafe.

I brought in the open sign and washed the windows then closed the blinds. I made sure to clean everything and make sure it was spotless and shining bright. I knew that I was very extra at cleaning so I dusted around and cleaned the cafe from the roof to the floor even the tables and seats even the spots where no one could see. I washed the dishes and dried them and placed them where they belonged. I went to the back and bought new glass cups, plates, bowls, and some more chopsticks, forks, knifes, and spoons with my own money and did express shipping.

I went to the back and took off my apron and grabbed my bag and turned off all of the lights and walked out of the door and locked it behind me. I took the bus to the dance studio where I danced at. I walked inside of the dance studio and played some songs and started dancing. My dream was to become a Choreographer and I never gave up on it. While I was dancing I was so into the music that I didn't hear anyone come in. When the music ended I looked back and saw a group of people looking at me with shock.

I greeted them and grabbed my stuff and was walking out when someone grabbed my wrist. I started trembling and the person noticed that and let go.

"I'm sorry for bothering all of you, I will leave now." I said as I was leaving.

"Wait you can stay and your pretty good at dancing." he said.

I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around facing them. As I got a better look at them I realized who they were. They were the boy group NCT 127.

"Can you teach me the dance that you just did?" Taeyong asked

"Okay." I said

I sat my stuff down in the corner and went to the middle of the dance floor with Taeyong.

"Do you know the meaning of the song?" I asked

"Uh, I guess the meaning of the song is being hopeless" Taeyong said

"The meaning of the song is Despair but as time passes by the person turns his Despair into happiness by achieving his dreams." I said

"Oh" Taeyong said.

"Let me show you the difference between just copying the dance and understanding the dance" I told Taeyong.

I showed Taeyong the dance with the emotions then showed him the dance by just copying it. Taeyong looked shocked at the difference of how the dances looked. I taught him step by step and fully explained everything to him. An hour had passed and Taeyong was tired but I was not and kept on dancing.

"Taeyong are you tired? Do you want to take a break?" I asked

"Yes can we take a break uhh sir." Taeyong said

"Oh silly me I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xhai Lu." I said

"You already know my name but I am Lee Taeyong Mr.Xhai" said Taeyong

"You don't have to call me Mr because I am younger than you I am only 19." I said

"Oh you are younger than me, sorry about that" said Taeyong

"Its not a problem you didn't know. It's time to finish dancing." I said

Taeyong got up and we finished dancing and he showed me the finished dance and it was beautiful. Taeyong hugged me and I hugged him back.

"Can I see you dance again?" Taeyong asked

"Sure what song would you like me to dance to?" I asked

"Can you dance to our new song Kick It?" Taeyong asked

"Sure." I said

I went to the middle of the dance room and started dancing to there new song Kick It. At the time I didn't know that I was being filmed. After I finished dancing to Kick It I grabbed my water bottle and gulped down some water. I flipped my hair back because it was sticking to my face.

"Xhai can we upload the video of you dancing to Kick It on our Instagram?" Taeyong asked

"Yeah sure it's no problem." I said

"Can we exchange numbers and Instagrams?" Haechan asked

"Okay why not." I said

I pulled out my phone and exchanged numbers and Instagrams with all of the members. I looked at the time and saw that it was already time for the orders to come for the cafe. I grabbed my bag and put my things back inside and put my bag on.

"Well I have to go guys talk to you all later" I said while walking out the door.

As soon as I go out of the door there is this man. I didn't pay him no mind and just walked past him, and when I did he grabbed me. I tried to get loose from him but he just pushed me to the wall and started chocking me.

"Let go of me! Get off of me!" I yelled.

I heard the door open and all of NCT 127 came out and grabbed the man off of me. I dropped to the ground and was panting. Taeyong called the police and soon afterwards they arrived and put the man in cuffs and took him to the station. I was shaking a lot and Taeyong helped me up and all of the members hugged me.

"Are you okay Xhai?" all of them asked

"Yeah I'm fine, I just need to go home." I said

"We will take you home." they said.

They excorted me to there van and we all got in. They were all arguing about who was going to sit next to me. In the end Doyoung sat next to me. I put where I lived in the GPS and sat back down. I eventually fell asleep without even realizing it. While I was sleeping I was started to have a nightmare and started whispering things like 'Get off of me' 'Stop it hurts' or ' I don't want to' Doyoung heard me whispering those things and told the members.

Minutes later someone tapped me and I woke up. I looked outside and realized that I was at my apartment building. I got up and looked at the members.

"Please come inside with me I want to thank you all with some handmade snacks that I made." I said

All of them agreed and we walked up to my apartment and I opened the door and we all walked in.

"Sorry it might be a little bit dirty, I haven't dusted yet." I said

I lead them to the couch and they sat down.

"Please make yourselves at home. What would you like to drink?" I said

The members discussed and they came up with their final conclusion.

"Tea." they all said

I went to the kitchen and went inside of the cabinets and pulled out a tea kettle and some glass cups. I washed everything and dried them then put the tea leaves inside of the tea kettle and poured water and placed the tea kettle on the stove and turned it on high.

"Sorry it might take a little while I am boiling the tea right now." I said and apologized.

I grabbed out the strawberry chocolate cheesecake that I had made and grabbed out some cookies and macaroons. I grabbed some plates and some forks and washed them then dried them and cut the cheesecake into equal pieces and placed singular pieces onto the plates. I heard the kettle steam and make a noise so I turned it off. I grabbed a big trey and placed the plates of cakes and the cookies onto it and placed the tea kettle onto the trey with the cups and some forks and paper towels. I grabbed the trey and sat it on the table.

I handed out the plates of cheesecake and forks and placed the cookies and macaroons in the center of the table and handed out the cups that had ice in them and poured the tea into them and sat down. The members were eating then stopped and looked at me with a concerned look. I looked up at them confused.

"Does it not taste good, I can make another batch if it doesn't taste right." I said

"No it tastes fine but we have something we want to ask you." Doyoung said

"Yes what is it?" I asked

"So you had a nightmare in the van and you were saying stuff like 'Get off of me' 'Stop it hurts' or ' I don't want to'. Can you tell us what happened?" Doyoung asked

"Oh, about that" I said while looking down

"We won't pressure you to tell us" Doyoung said

"It's fine, when I was 10 my parents sold me to some man for money and that man raped and beat me everyday for 9 years. I was kept in a dark room until one day I was allowed to be in a room that had all that i needed. I was forced to learn things but there was one things that I loved and that was to dance. But there was one woman who was always nice to me and helped me escape. Her name was Jil and she was the only person who cared for me." I explained to them

"That's horrible how could your parents sell you and how could a man do that to a child!" they said with anger

"Don't be angry it's all in the past now and eat your snacks" I said

"Okay we will eat our snacks." they said

I looked around and felt like I had to clean. I got up and started cleaning everything from ceiling to floor. They all looked at me with concern.

"Oh no we have another Taeyong." Haechan said

I finally finished cleaning and saw that they were done with there snacks. I cleaned up the dishes and placed them on the tray and washed them then dried them and placed them where they belonged.

"Sorry but we have to go" Taeyong said.

"Okay, see you soon" I said

"Can you bake us some more sweets?" Johnny said

"I'll bring you all some tomorrow" I said

"I'll be expecting it see you tomorrow" Johnny said

They all walked out of my apartment and I waved them bye and closed the door and locked it. I grabbed the ingredients to make Strawberry Chocolate cheesecake, macaroons, cookies, brownies, and cakes and placed them in there own corner. I went to my bathroom and showered and did what I normally did after showering and went in my room and laid in my bed and fell asleep.
