*************
The waves were stronger than usual. The recent storm was not as bad as some people expected, but it still left a presence, starting with the attitude of the ocean toward the shore. All the heat and anger of the waves crashed onto the sandy beach, which was a innocent bystander who only could sit and watch the storm unleash its fury. During the day, the force was very visible. However, something about the mighty waves during the night was alluring...hypnotizing.
Then again, maybe it was not anger. Maybe pent up emotions the ocean tried to express a little bit at a time were just coming out in greater strength.
Besides, how could something so angry sing such a soothing lullaby at such a time of night? No, nothing really angry could produce something so beautiful...right?
At least, Joonmyun thought so.
"Hey, Joonmyun! I thought you were out here."
Joonmyun heard but chose to be voluntarily deaf.
"I've been looking for you. You disappeared from the gathering. You okay?"
Joonmyun wished he could be alone a little longer. Just a little longer...
"Yo! Earth to Joonmyun. This is Byun Baekhyun speaking. Can you read me?"
With his back towards Baekhyun, Joonmyun gave one last glance at the ocean. The song of the waves washed over his tired mind.
"Loud and clear, Baek." Joonmyun hoped he sounded cheerful. He also hoped that his smile appeared genuine when he turned to face Baekhyun. "What is up?"
Joonmyun did not like how Baekhyun calculated his expression, but he kept smiling, hoping to fog up his friend's search. Finally, Baekhyun relaxed his probing stare before speaking again. "The guys and I were just concerned. Not like you to up and leave so suddenly."
Joonmyun's smile softened into something more realistic yet still reassuring in expression. "I'm fine. What's wrong? Can't handle a few moments without me?"
Darn it. It was very subtle. Very low on the radar, but it was there. The bite. Joonmyun did not want that bite to spill. He felt very much like the ocean right now.
"What? C'mon! We're nothing without you, leader-sshi!" Baekhyun retorted.
Joonmyun snorted in response and twisted his mouth in a small smirk. "Of course...well, I guess we head back to the hotel room."
Joonmyun walked by Baekhyun without a second glance. "C'mon, slow poke. Don't let this old man beat you."
Soon after, Joonmyun heard the other man's footsteps. He also felt a very heavy stare on his back that he wanted to disappear.
Once arriving back at the hotel room, all the other guys paused to watch Joonmyun enter through the door. The leader caught their whispers (but couldn't decipher what they were about) which had ceased when he and Baekhyun entered. Joonmyun had a feeling, though, that Baekhyun had nothing to do with it.
Not being able to bare the silence anymore, Joonmyun spoke in a beaming voice. "Hey! What's the seriousness about? You guys are acting like your cats died."
Kai coughed to clear his throat at such an opportune moment. He also took great interest in Joonmyun's shoes. Jongdae and Minseok thought the shoes were particular exciting as well.
"Hyung...are you okay?" Kyungsoo finally answered.
Joonmyun felt his heart wrench but his smile never faltered. "Yeah! Why you ask? Not like I'm a crybaby or anything," he laughed.
He didn't miss Chanyeol's sympathetic glance nor Kris' judging glare.
"Y-yeah! I'm the crybaby remember?" Tao piped up with a nervous smile.
Bless you, Tao, thought Joonmyun.
"Hyung...we were kidding earlier. Honestly, we're sorry," spoke LuHan. Everyone else nodded their heads in unison.
"No big deal, guys. Relax," Joonmyun tried to say cheerily. "We got practice tomorrow. So if you all will excuse me, I don't need to miss my senior bedtime. Night night!"
Joonmyun walked straight to his room and closed the door. It was unusually silent the rest of the night in the EXO dorm.
#####
When Joonmyun woke up the next morning, he felt a little refreshed yet a bit hinted with sadness. He thought about the lulling waves of the previous night. He formed another hypothesis: maybe the ocean was sad and was reaching out to the firmness of land. Something steady in its existence. Is that why the ocean waves gravitate towards the shores?
Soft snoring came from the other side of the room. Joonmyun instantly recognized it was the maknae Sehun. He took a quick glance at the youngest member. The covers twisted and curled around the boy's sleeping form. Everything but the top wisps of his hair peeked from under the covers. Joonmyun smiled softly. When he thought about it, Yixing and Sehun were not up with the others when he came back. They usually sleep early though, thought Joonmyun. They probably didn't want to get involved either.
He sighed and finally got out of bed. It was just another day of being the underestimated leader of EXO. Even so, he had to take it with stride like usual. No matter how hurt he would get by the teasing at times.
Besides, this was EXO. 12 guys grouped together under one roof. Shenanigans were bound to happen, even though a few of them went too far at times...
Joonmyun tried to shake his head of the thoughts of last night and went to the restroom to bathe. A warm shower in the morning always made him feel better anyhow. When turning on the faucet, he thought he heard something from outside. He paid no further attention to it though as he stepped in the shower and allowed the water to wash over his body. He imagined the waves from last night cleansing his body and soul.
When Joonmyun got out the shower and got dressed, he was met with silence. Strange. No sound at this time of day? Sure, they were on vacation. However, even if the others slept in, SOMEONE would be up.
"Guys? Anyone here?" Joonmyun looked around confused. Did someone kidnap precious group members this morning? Was that the noise he heard? Ugh, paranoia mode was starting to kick in.
"Ouch!" Joonmyun, being is oh-so normal clumsy self, just banged his toe into the kitchen table. Good job, guardian, thought Joonmyun. You lost the group members and possibly broke your toe. Great!
When Joonmyun looked down to inspect his toe, he spotted something on the kitchen table he failed to catch before. "A letter?" he muttered to himself. Was it a ransom note? He was almost afraid to read. God knows he did not have enough money to get back the guys. He might end up offering his freedom as a price...
Our Dearest Hyung,
If there is anything that we all admire about you the most, it is that you are the one that makes us laugh the most. And no, not because you are the butt of the jokes. We love you! <3 <3 <3
We are one,
EXO ^___^
P.S. See you on the beach!
Joonmyun smiled. These punks, he thought. They were his punks though.
#####
When meeting with guys in the beach that day, Joonmyun noticed how calm the waters were. Just like he was now.
