I was asked in a forum to write down my feelings about the Tao situation... How I would be in either situation. Here it is. 1. Tao leaves EXO I'll be relieved for Tao and worried for EXO... Mostly Lay and Suho and Sehun... And I'll be angry at SM for letting him go and not fighting harder to keep him. I'll be angry at them for not taking care of him in the first place and bringing him to more harm than necessary. I'll be relieved that he finally gets to rest without worrying about getting back on stage with an injury. But I'll be sad that he'll be apart from his brothers and the EXO he loves so much. It'll hurt so much but in the end, I know it'll be for the best for him as a person. 2. Tao stays with EXO To be honest, I want this more than the first and I know that's me being selfish... I want him to stay because I know how happy he is with EXO and how adamantly he promised he would never leave after Kris and Luhan did. I want him to stay because that's what HE wants to do. I don't want him to leave because of what his father wants, even though I know that if I was in his situation, I would leave. I want SM to realize what they almost lost if they get to keep him and I want them to take 100x better care of him and all their artists after this. If he stays, I want him to take as much time as needs in order to recover, even if that means he's gone for months. More than anything, though, I just want him to be happy with whatever he decides and not regret the decision he makes. I want the rest of the boys to come out of it okay and get stronger for it in the long run. There's a lot that I want as a fan, but I know my words are relatively meaningless in the end. They'll decide what they want and there's not really anything I can do about it beyond supporting Tao no matter what happens.
