Aladdin? - Epilogue
Donghae was frustrated. And confused; let’s not forget confused. His hyungs and dongsangs were really starting to piss him off. They were treating him like some little kid who had done wrong, and who was now being punished, instead of the fully grown man he was.
Everywhere he looked was an odd glance or heads being shaken. Wasn’t this a little too much? He didn’t think what he did was this bad. So he had fallen asleep during their ‘movie night’ bonding time. So what?! Was that any reason to be giving him the silent treatment? No; he didn’t think so.
And what was worse was the fact that Heechul hadn’t been kidding when he had said ‘no more cartoons’. And the rest of the members where equally adamant that he wasn’t allowed near animated films; some of them didn’t even want him watching normal films.
At first he had assumed that they were joking. They couldn’t be serious… no cartoons? That was just too extreme.
But Ryeowook had practically screamed bloody murder when he stepped into the living room two days later to see Donghae with ‘The Little Mermaid’ in his hand. This, by the way, scared the crap out him!! Why would Ryeowook do that; it almost gave him a heart attack!! Wasn’t that a bit of an overreaction? And by a ‘bit’, he meant, a ‘HUGE OVERREACTION’!
The others had come charging into the room then expecting to see, Donghae was sure, him beating up the eternal magnae. Then, and this had confused him to no end, after seeing that Ryeowook was fine and being made aware of the situation… Everyone else went into hyper overreacting mode as well!! Heechul snatched the film out of his hands and threw it across the room like it was the devil. Siwon started praying. Hangeng and Yesung began clearing the rest of the animated films from the shelf and proceeded to hide them as far away from Donghae as possible. Zhou Mi started muttering something about refusing to have tassels again (whatever that meant). And Lee Teuk started on the biggest, longest, most horrendous lecture Donghae had ever received in his life; helped along by the other members!
What the fuck?!
This was too much; they were taking things too far. Was falling asleep really worth this unbelievable treatment and ban of all things cartoon? No, it was not! They were all going mental. Donghae told them as much too. He said, “You’re all going mental!” Too which Lee Teuk replied that he didn’t care what Donghae said, he was still banned from cartoons.
That’s when Donghae played the ‘you lot aren’t my mother’ card. They couldn’t just tell him what he could and couldn’t do; he was a grown man for crying out loud!
But you know what Lee Teuk did? The man actually pulled out his cell phone and called Donghae’s mother! And then, and again he was still confused about this, his own mother forbid him from watching cartoons!
What was going on?!
The others left the room after that; Lee Teuk was still speaking to his mother about something or other. Donghae was left alone in the middle of the room, frustrated and confused. His own mother turned against him? This was a conspiracy, wasn’t it? It had to be some sort of ‘let’s punish him in ridiculous ways for no good reason and see how long until he cracks’ conspiracy!
After a month of the member’s odd behavior, (Zhou Mi still jumped sometimes when he entered the room), Donghae had had enough. His band mates were still being ridiculous, and he was still frustrated!
… And confused.
… And unable to watch anything animated.
Even though two weeks prior to this, Lee Teuk had removed the ‘absolutely no cartoons’ ban and replaced it with more of an ‘absolutely no cartoons after five o’clock or if you feel even remotely tired and you may only watch them when no other person is in the dorm with you’ rule. This still confused Donghae (heck, the title alone was confusing) but at least he was allowed to watch cartoons again… sort of... In theory. But the thing was, that even after the ‘ban’ being lifted (not really lifted in his opinion), he hadn’t actually been able to watch anything. Because there was not enough time in the mornings, and they returned from their schedules well past the ‘limit’ of his allowed cartoon watching time.
Insert large amounts of cartoon deprivation here.
And the worst part was (aside from the weird behavior of the members; he was kind of used to it by now and besides they were never what one would call ‘normal’ to begin with) he still had no idea why everyone was acting this way!! Because no one would tell him anything!
Do you know how frustrating that was?!
His dorm mates were trying to kill him, weren’t they? Clearly, that was what they were trying to do. It was all a part of that conspiracy thing. They were trying to kill him with confusion. With their odd looks, and secret mumblings…
This was why that night, almost one month after the night that the others ‘banned’ him from cartoons, and two weeks after Lee Teuk’s stupid ‘no cartoons after five’ mumbo jumbo rule, Donghae just snapped.
He decided to rebel. Why was he listening to them in the first place? Why had he allowed himself to be treated like some bad five year old kid for a month?! He was a fucking grown man (no matter how many times Heechul said otherwise) and he could make his own decisions. He should for damn sure be able to watch what he wanted to watch when he wanted to watch it! And what he wanted to watch, was a cartoon! . . . He did at least wait until the other members were out of the dorm before putting it on though; he did not want a repeat of the ‘screaming magnae’ incident.
He almost squealed with joy when he realized that everyone else would be gone that night and he could put his plan into action! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t the best rebellion if nobody was there to see him defy them but… What could he say? He didn’t want to get caught.
Lee Teuk and Eunhyuk had already left early for Kiss the Radio. Kangin and Kibum were… well he didn’t really know what they were doing but those two were always doing something. Workaholics, the both of them. Shindong was co-hosting some variety program. And the others were going out to a late dinner. They had invited Donghae to come along with them, but he had declined the offer saying that he wanted to stay in and study his mandarin.
He kind of felt bad about the lie as Hangeng had given him such a proud look but… it’s not like he could have told them the truth. There would have been screaming if he had; he just knew it. Though he still didn’t know why they were so against his watching cartoons to begin with… And how could he have let such a perfect opportunity slip by? Exactly.
He waited on the couch, pretending to be studying his mandarin (aish; he still felt bad about lying) as Sungmin, Siwon, Ryeowook, and Hangeng waited by the door for Heechul to be finished getting ready. The others had already gone on to the restaurant at Siwon’s insistence that they’d follow shortly.
‘Shortly’ turned out to be fifteen minutes until Hangeng, who had finally had enough, went back into Heechul’s room to drag the man out. Donghae held his breath as Sungmin shut the door and he heard their footsteps fading.
…
YES!!
He jumped off of the couch and marched into the room where the animated movies were ‘hidden’ with a purpose. And really, Kyuhyun’s closet? Some hiding spot; it hadn’t taken Donghae long to find out where they were earlier. He looked through them quickly until he grabbed one he wanted.
He felt slightly guilty as he entered his bedroom, film in hand. He shook the feeling away though. What did he have to feel guilty about? He reminded himself that he was perfectly able to make his own decisions and that it was just a movie; he wasn’t doing anything illegal or shameful.
A little voice in the back of his head asked him why, if he wasn’t doing anything bad, he felt the need to watch the movie in his room instead of out in the living room? Hiding much? … He told the voice to shut up.
Putting the DVD into the player, Donghae slipped into his bed and got comfortable while he waited for it to load. As he sat in the dark watching the previews, he had an odd memory from when he was a child. He remembered that his uncle would watch cartoons in the mornings whenever he came to visit. Always alone; his uncle had always been alone as he watched them. Kind of like how he, himself, was now he realized. Donghae had always just assumed it was because his uncle didn’t have any friend’s to watch the movies with him. After all, the man was visiting him; all of his friends would have been far away, right?
Thinking back though… The man was always so jittery when he watched them; something Donghae hadn’t paid much attention to when he was five. He clearly remembered waking up one morning and going to the living room to find his uncle on the couch watching an anime. His uncle had jumped when he saw him in the door way and then quickly let out a sigh of relief. ‘I thought you were your mother,’ he had said guiltily.
Donghae hadn’t thought anything of the incident; he had been five after all. But now he wondered if his uncle was maybe not supposed to be watching those cartoons. Maybe he was banned like Donghae was and had been watching them in secret?
And how unfair was that? There was nothing wrong with his uncle… There was nothing wrong with himself either for that matter. They just both happened to like cartoons. Did that mean they should have their cartoons taken from them? No! Heechul liked cartoons too but the others weren’t freaking out over his watching privileges Donghae noticed.
He sighed and pushed those distracting thoughts away as the main menu appeared. And as the opening music began, he smiled. He hadn’t seen this one for years.
**…..**…..**…..**…..**
“Hangeng we’re already late,” Heechul complained as the van pulled back up to their dorm. He had conveniently forgotten that the reason they were running later than the others was because of him in the first place.
“I know, but I’ll be really quick, I just forgot something. I won’t be long.” Hangeng pulled the back door open and started to get out.
“The others are probably already there by now.”
“It’ll take me five minute, tops,” Hangeng promised.
“I’ll go up with you then,” Heechul sighed like it was some kind of huge sacrifice on his part.
“Oh Hell no,” Sungmin protested. “If you go back in there again we’ll never get out of here.”
“Hey,” Heechul protested indignantly. “Someone has to go with him or he’ll take forever.”
“No I won’t,” Hangeng denied. No seemed to have heard him; either that or they ignored him and continued on as if he hadn’t spoken.
“Fine,” Sungmin agreed as he undid his seatbelt. “I’ll go with him; you stay here.”
Heechul glared as the younger man climbed over Siwon to get out of the door and followed Hangeng inside. “I wouldn’t have taken that long…” Ryeowook and Siwon wisely thought it best not to say anything to that.
After a few minutes, their driver was on his cell phone talking to what sounded like his wife and their manager-hyung was asleep in the front passenger seat. Heechul was telling Siwon about the new shirt he bought the other day when Ryeowook interrupted them. “Uh… I kind of have to go to the restroom now… While we’re still here, I could just run up quickly…”
Heechul sighed. “Great, leave me and Siwon why don’t you, everyone else is.”
“Er…”
Heechul gave Siwon a hard look. “What?”
“Nothing it’s just… well, now that he mentions it… it wouldn’t hurt to go to the restroom here before we leave and …”
“You’re both leaving me?!” Heechul huffed. He unbuckled his seatbelt. “Fine. If you two are going up, then I am. I am not going to be left out here alone for who knows how long while you lot are inside.”
“You wouldn’t be alone,” Siwon pointed out as he nevertheless waited for Heechul to exit before sliding the door shut.
Heechul looked back at their sleeping manager, who was beginning to drool on the window. Then he glanced over at their driver who was still busy talking on his phone. “Yeah,” he rolled his eyes away started walking. “Because those two are a heap of fun right now.”
**…..**…..**…..**…..**
“I’ll wait out here,” Sungmin said when they entered the dorm.
“Okay,” Hangeng acknowledged him as he headed towards his bedroom. “I’ll be out in ten seconds!”
Sungmin nodded, not that his hyung could see, and began humming a song that had been stuck in his head all week. He sighed after humming the tune twice and looked around for something to do. “Huh,” Sungmin spotted the mandarin book of the coffee table in the living room and frowned momentarily. It was odd… Sungmin had thought that Donghae stayed home to study. Maybe he was just really tired and turned in early?
Sungmin sighed again and looked down at his watch. Hangeng was sure taking his time. He turned when he heard the front door open and the other three come in. He blinked. “Okay, I know we weren’t gone that long…”
“Ha, ha,” Heechul laughed mirthlessly.
“We’re just using the restroom,” Siwon smiled as he headed down the hall.
Sungmin nodded. “I’ll be back,” he had decided to go hurry Hangeng along. “Hey hyung?” He rapped lightly on the closed door before turning the handle and entering. Only… “What the…?”
Sungmin blinked. This was not in Hangeng’s room. Not unless the man had done some serious redecorating lately. He swiftly turned his head to either side, quickly taking in the dark figures of three beds and children’s toys strewn about neatly. Yep: he was most definitely not in Hangeng’s room.
So then… Where the Hell was he?
It was dark, but moonlight spilled in to illuminate a large square on the floor before him. He looked down and realized he must have been standing in front of a window. … Hadn’t he just entered that way? Aish; why was he so confused? He jumped when he discovered his shadow stretched out before him. What the- That was not his shadow!
He calmed his breathing and shook his head. What was he thinking? Of course it was his shadow; that was clearly his build and silhouette but… what was up with the hat and the… He looked down at himself this time almost afraid of what he would see.
Yep, he thought. This was why he shouldn’t have looked. Instead of the tight jeans and pink t-shirt he had been wearing moments ago he was now in… in… oh dear lord, he was wearing actual tights! What the fuck?! What was going on? And why was-?
“S- S- Sungmin?”
Hangeng’s nervous yet familiar voice brought Sungmin out of his mental panic. He quickly lifted his head up and glanced around the room. His eyes fell to the canopy bed and his mouth fell open. “Hangeng… why are you wearing a woman’s nightgown?”
“I don’t know!” Hangeng hissed hysterically as he slid out of the bed he was in and hurried across the floor to where Sungmin was. “I was just leaving the room when suddenly… I was in bed? Does that even make sense?”
Sungmin shook his head. Nope; that didn’t make any sense to him. Then again, not much made sense right then. Did he somehow hit his head? … That was a possibility.
“Sungmin? Hangeng?”
Sungmin and Hangeng tensed before turning their gaze to the other two beds in the room and seeing a very confused Siwon and Ryeowook occupying them. “Um…” Sungmin was a bit lost for words. Then again, the others seemed to be lost for words as well so…
“Why am I in pink footsy pajamas?” Ryeowook quirked an eyebrow down at his ensemble as he and Siwon to got out of the beds they were in and made their way towards Sungmin and Hangeng. “Then again,” he stifled a giggle when he saw Hangeng’s frilly blue … dress? Okay, so he knew it was a nightgown but honestly, it looked more like a dress to him. Especially with that bow in the back. “I think I’ll stick with the footsy pajamas.”
Hangeng glared at the eternal magnae. “This isn’t funny.”
“We shouldn’t be teasing each other,” Siwon said as he tried to forget the fact that he was also somehow in a long white nightgown himself; though at least his was for men. “Although… Sungmin, why are you dressed as Peter Pan?”
Sungmin blinked before looking down at his horrendously green outfit again. “Is that who I am?” Siwon nodded. “Huh… I have no idea,” he shrugged.
“I think the real question here,” Hangeng snapped. “Is why are we seemingly not in the dorm anymore?! And ‘Peter Pan’? That’s a cartoon, isn’t it?!”
…
“Oh shit.”
“That would mean…”
“What the fuck?!” A very familiar, very pissed off voice shrieked from behind Sungmin. All four of them jumped before turning to stare with wide terrified eyes at a Heechul who was… dressed as Tinkerbelle; complete with the puff balls on his slippers. “Would someone please,” he growled through gritted teeth, “tell me why I always seem to be the woman?!”
. . .
“If it makes you feel better… I think Hangeng is supposed to be a woman too…”
. . .
“Oh, when I get my hands on Donghae he is dead… DEAD I tell you!!”
“Wait…” Ryeowook gasped. “Donghae. How did he… he’s banned from cartoons isn’t he? How did he…?”
. . .
”DONGHAE!!!!”
The End?

Sungmin and Hangeng tensed before turning their gaze to the other two beds in the room and seeing a very confused Siwon and Ryeowook occupying them. “Um…” Sungmin was a bit lost for words. Then again, the others seemed to be lost for words as well so…
“Why am I in pink footsy pajamas?” Ryeowook quirked an eyebrow down at his ensemble as he and Siwon to got out of the beds they were in and made their way towards Sungmin and Hangeng. “Then again,” he stifled a giggle when he saw Hangeng’s frilly blue … dress? Okay, so he knew it was a nightgown but honestly, it looked more like a dress to him. Especially with that bow in the back. “I think I’ll stick with the footsy pajamas.”
Hangeng glared at the eternal magnae. “This isn’t funny.”
“We shouldn’t be teasing each other,” Siwon said as he tried to forget the fact that he was also somehow in a long white nightgown himself; though at least his was for men. “Although… Sungmin, why are you dressed as Peter Pan?”
Sungmin blinked before looking down at his horrendously green outfit again. “Is that who I am?” Siwon nodded. “Huh… I have no idea,” he shrugged.
“I think the real question here,” Hangeng snapped. “Is why are we seemingly not in the dorm anymore?! And ‘Peter Pan’? That’s a cartoon, isn’t it?!”
…
“Oh shit.”
“That would mean…”
“What the fuck?!” A very familiar, very pissed off voice shrieked from behind Sungmin. All four of them jumped before turning to stare with wide terrified eyes at a Heechul who was… dressed as Tinkerbelle; complete with the puff balls on his slippers. “Would someone please,” he growled through gritted teeth, “tell me why I always seem to be the woman?!”
. . .
“If it makes you feel better… I think Hangeng is supposed to be a woman too…”
. . .
“Oh, when I get my hands on Donghae he is dead… DEAD I tell you!!”
“Wait…” Ryeowook gasped. “Donghae. How did he… he’s banned from cartoons isn’t he? How did he…?”
. . .
”DONGHAE!!!!”
The End?
