A.N.: My first of two fics for the Neoragobang Blind Quote Challenge fic and this was the prompt: Friendship 4: “It’s the friends you can call up at four a.m. that matter.”.I don’t own any of these boys, although I know we’d all like to.

It was years later, Super Junior had long disbanded all going off to do their own activities. Super Junior M concentrated on activities in China, K.R.Y would do an occasional song or two together when SJM was on break, Super Junior Happy still did activities, but Super Junior T was dissolved, leaving Heechul, along with Kibum who never had been in a subgroup to do their own thing.
Both men concentrated on acting mainly, both doing an occasional musical, sometimes doing a musical or drama together, it was a big hit when they did. They always somehow managed to remember a birthday and send the birthday man a present or at the very least a card and a text message.
Even though they were separated by thousands of miles, Heechul always knew that Hankyung was a phone call away, and somehow in the years that had passed since the disbanding, Kibum had come to know that too.
The phone calls had started out innocently enough, Heechul would get drunk and would end up drunk dialing Hankyung at 4 in the morning. Eventually it came to include Kibum as well, because they were roommates after all and more often than not when they got drunk, they would do it together.
But then, it became a habit and soon they were no longer drunk dialing, though they still pretended to be, Hankyung knew they weren’t drunk but he pretended along with them that they were. Heechul’s loud obnoxious yells would occasionally wake someone else, resulting in a four way phone conversation until someone fell asleep and they were forced to hang up.
“Hankyung, do you want to know what Kibum is doing right now?”
Hankyung let out an airy laugh. “What is he doing?”
“He has his hand down his pants…it’s...”
“Hankyung will you please tell him to untie me already, this is getting old and I think my entire arm has gone numb from being like this!”
“Heechul what did you do to him?”
“Doesn’t matter really, I’ll untie him. I don’t want you calling Eeteuk on me again because I’m not being nice to our beloved Kibummie.
“If you’d be nicer to him I wouldn’t have to keep calling Eeteuk, besides you know he likes it when he gets a call like that. He gets to be leader again to the two of you, you know he doesn’t get that chance very often.”
Hankyung could hear the breathing on the other end of the line, but they were silent, and he took that as a sign that they knew he was right.
“KIM HEECHUL GIVE ME MY PANTS BACK!”
“Are you sure you don’t want your favorite pair of underpants back too?”
“…please tell me you aren’t wearing them.”
“I’m not. I sent them to Yesung last week and told him it was a because I felt like it present.”
Hankyung smiled into the phone.
“…and so…Hankyung? Hankyung are you even paying attention?”
“Of course I am. Sorry to say though, that you probably won’t get those underpants back because from what I heard from Ryeowook who heard it from Sungmin, Yesung’s got them up in some sort of weird shrine to you in his closet.”
“….”
“I knew it! Kim Kibum you owe me. I told you Yesung has a shrine to you in his closet. Hankyung you have a shrine to me in your closet right?”
“Sure, whatever you say Heechul. Listen I have to go and so do you, don’t you guys have rehearsal for your musical?”
“Since when were you our mother Hankyung, that’s Eeteuk’s job. And yes, we do have rehearsal today. Kibum is going to be wearing a dress and 6 inch heels today.”
Hankyung could practically see and feel the wicked grin on Heechul’s face, and he could hear Kibum’s rather loud protests coming from the bathroom about it.
“Today’s your day off right Hankyung? Go back to sleep, you’ll get woken up in a couple of hours anyways. Just hope it’s not the police telling you that you have to bail me and Kibum out of jail.”
“I know you two won’t get arrested, not unless you get into a huge fight on the set. But if you do, just walk away. I think Kangin and Eeteuk will both have heart attacks if you were in jail for real. Now go, I’m not being blamed by you later for you being late. Goodbye Heechul, I’ll be awake if you call tomorrow morning.” Heechul called him a liar and hung up, both of them knew that Hankyung would already be asleep but that he would wake up anyways.
“It’s the friends you can call up at four a.m. that matter.”
The man smiled, looking up from his phone when his name was called, the rehearsal for the live performance was starting.
