Hyesung walks out of the lodge where Shinhwa members stay for MT shooting. The sun already hid under the horizon. The dark sky now is decorated with bright stars. The moon is nowhere to see, perhaps still longing to be with the sun.
He stands outside on the porch, alone. The light from inside the lodge radiates behind him, giving out his lean silhouette. Really looks like an angel with folded wings and halo surrounding his body.
Faintly, Hyesung can still hear his members joking around in the living room. Contrary to what here outside, cicadas from the small woods behind the lodge are singing their heartbreaking melody. Above in the sky, a small cloud of bats fly across the backyard to the woods, leaving home to fill their small stomach with some fruit they can find there. The atmosphere around their lodge is so harmonious, so close to the nature. He feels small but peaceful.
Warm summer breeze blows, playing with his soft hair. His fringe is a bit messy, but he doesn’t care. He devours the damp air that caresses his skin. But as much as he enjoys it, he misses someone, just like the night misses the moon.
For the sake of their hidden camera plan, for a whole day long Hyesung was intendedly being away from him. As Minwoo said, as long as he is not around the person, the prank would go smoothly without any suspicion directed to or come from him. And it did work. That someone was successfully distracted by others. He did slip once, yes. But thanks to his members’ quick reaction, they still could save the situation. They succeeded to fool that person, and part of it is because of his mindfulness. So he didn’t care being anxious and careful whilst still pretending to be cheerful. At least at the end everybody was happy. Everybody had a good laugh.
But something is not right. Something is missing and Hyesung feels this emptiness. Knowing that someone didn’t tail after, knowing that someone didn’t go to annoy him, knowing that someone didn’t tease, knowing that someone didn’t spend time with him, he somehow misses those… and him. That much. And it pangs his heart a little.
Suddenly the glass door behind him flings open. A deep voice welcomes his ears, “There you are.”
Hyesung turns his head to the speaker. “Hey, pabo.” He says with a smile. Eric is standing in the door frame while wrapping his own body with a large fleece blanket.
“Hyesung-ie….” Eric whines. “What are you doing here alone?” He pouts. He approaches Hyesung. “Being romantic, eh?” He now stands so near behind Hyesung. “Cold?” he asks again while he hugs Hyesung from behind and wraps the blanket around their bodies together.
Hyesung suddenly feels warm. He knows Eric likes back hugging his members. But Hyesung senses that this time Eric does it for him only. He feels fitted in Eric’s broad chest. Being contented, he leans back and takes pleasure in the warmth.
But Eric is just not Eric if he doesn’t annoy Hyesung in a way. He bangs his head to the back of Hyesung’s. “Something troubles you? What is it in your small head?” he enquires while repeatedly banging his head gently.
“Ouch…. Eric-ah. It hurts.” Hyesung whimpers and wriggles slightly in Eric’s hold.
“Hyesung-ah, you know what? I love hugging you like this. So don’t exercise like Wannie. See what he’s done to his body? Too firm! Even he lost some fans for being that muscular. And for me, it feels like I’m hugging an obelisk. But you, you’re just perfect in my arms.” Eric rants aimlessly and rests his head on Hyesung’s shoulder. He stares at Hyesung then moves his staring to Hyesung’s narrow chin, wondering why there’s no stubble there.
“So you prefer we don’t do nude photo shoot again because you want me always this thin?” Hyesung sneers. “You’re sneaky mikkulaji.” He stares back at Eric. Somehow his eyes do not show any offense. Let alone they show admiration, admiring Eric’s large eyes, sharp nose, thick eyebrows, thin moustache, even his lips shape.
“Hahaha…. don’t be mad.” Hyesung’s wandered thought is cut by Eric’s heartily laugh. “Come on, Pilkyo-ssi. You’re not thin, just slimmer than us all.” he shakes Hyesung’s body lightly.
“Besides, you are our little prince. Why should you build your muscle? I’m more than willing to be your knight and always protect you, my prince. All you have to do is just protect your hair, hmmpft.” Eric snorts. And like a dog, he strokes his head against Hyesung’s soft hair. Soon he begins to sway their bodies, slightly to the left and right.
“Stop it, silly. You dishevel my hair. Eric-ah!” Hyesung tries to halt Eric’s movement, but fails completely. “Such a weakling I am.” unconsciously he thinks about his own body.
“Hyesung-ah, be by my side forever.” Eric murmurs near Hyesung’s ear. “Be more than Youngbae. You’ve promised, remember?” he adds calmly. “And because… we are Shinhwa imnida!” he suddenly screams the last words, making Hyesung startled. He giggles watching Hyesung rubs his ear until it gets red. And out of the blue, he chomps Hyesung’s ear playfully.
“Yah! Eric-ah!” Hyesung yells, trying to escape from Eric’s mouth and his firm hold on his body. He squirms in vain.
All of a sudden, “Hyungdeul!!!” Andy’s voice snaps behind them. He runs toward them, “I also want Shinhwa group hug!” and hugs Hyesung from the front.
“Yah! Why are you here? Minoo.... Minoo-yah! Your baby’s here. Get him away from us!” Eric shouts into the house. He tries to push Andy away from Hyesung. But Hyesung only laughs and accepts Andy’s hug. He kisses Andy’s cheek fondly.
“Waeyo…. Hyesung-ie. Where’s my kiss?” Eric demands jealously. He thrusts his cheek to Hyesung’s lips. Hyesung widens his eyes, ready to back his head. But Andy’s right palm reacts faster. Like Zomdy, his hand moves to Eric’s face quickly, hindering Eric’s advance and getting in the way between Hyesung and Eric’s heads.
Eric dodges Andy’s hand and lolls his tongue out, but Andy just laughs it off. Happy to annoy Eric. Sometimes him being Zomdy means an evil merciless maknae.
“You ruin our moment, maknae.” Eric protests.
“My point, hehehe.” Andy replies back. “I can’t stand anything mushy corny without me involved.” He winks at Eric, “And you’re supposed to be manly, hyung-nim.” teases him furthermore.
Hyesung only smiles seeing their antics. His hands are still holding Andy. Giving up, Eric opens his arms and surrounds them all together within his long arms.
‘Click’. Without knowing, Dongwan that comes afterward presses the shutter on his DSLR, capturing the lovely moment. He grins looking at the snapshot on camera screen. Hyesung is being sandwiched between Eric and Andy. Their bodies are enclosed tightly in a fluffy blanket.
