Kris might be young… but he’s not blind.                Though he was only about to turn 22 and was still very much a rookie, he knew about the world that is KPOP. How dirty it could be as much as it was beautiful. He hadn’t been with SM as long as the rest of his labelmates but he saw. He knew. He saw how Hankyung performed so hard, defeated all struggles and yet look what happened. He saw – and could still see – how Henry Lau and Zhou Mi were very much members of Super Junior. Their members loved them a lot. Yet, still there they were; outcasts.                Things were getting better. He wasn’t blind to that either. He could see how slowly but surely foreign artists are gaining the much deserved recognition and respect from the fans. Yes, they weren’t Korean… but that’s by blood. He loved Korea. It gave him the greener pasture so to speak. He’s a Korean by heart.                Yet, he couldn’t help but think… How would he end up in the long run? What would his efforts and hardships result to? He knew he and his groupmates were lucky – that they got to promote in China in front of their fellow countrymen. But would it always be EXO M and EXO K? Never just EXO? Sometimes, he really didn’t even want to know the answer.“You know, for someone so young… you really think a lot.” ForewordFor everyone requesting SooKris (especially Bam unnie. Hahaha! :P), this is for you. Im not quite familiar with Kris aside from his face and all so I apologize if this doesnt sound anything like him The image that inspired this fic is from http://icanread.tumblr.com/post/9743635527
