[.... if you stay overnight in my place]
♥ ♥ ric♥sung ♥ ♥
Eric has been thinking how to go to airport tomorrow. They just finished their last practice and it’s already nearly midnight. He feels sore all over his body, but still he thinks about his members. Since other members live separately, they most likely go to airport with their own managers. Only Hyesung is his neighbour, so it’s natural to think about him most. Besides, he always pays more attention to Hyesung. Andy is also his exception since Andy is the maknae, and he’s so cute. No matter how he ages, his hyungs will always see him as a baby and love him unconditionally.
Eric considers picking up Hyesung early in the morning then having breakfast together in the airport. Suddenly Hyesung comes to him and says, “Eric, I think we can save time to go to airport tomorrow if you stay overnight in my place. What do you think?”
Eric beams. “Sure. No prob.”, he answers quickly. He’s afraid that Hyesung will change his mind if not given a prompt reply.
“What a coincidence.” the thought amuses Eric. He likes spending time with Hyesung despite what everyone’s thought that they are awkward to each other. Well, sometimes it’s true. But most of the time, he enjoys Hyesung’s company. Though he knows that Hyesung doesn’t like skinship, but he can’t afford to not touch, hug or peck him at least ten times a day. Actually, Eric doesn’t count how many times, but surely he likes having physical contacts with his members and showing his affection. Hyesung is his favourite especially since he always rejects him. He wonders why it’s only him. Eric knows Hyesung is not that hesitant to the others. At least that gives him a feeling that he’s “special” in Hyesung’s eyes. He can’t ask for more knowing what type Hyesung is.
“But Eric, it’s better if we go to your place first, grab your luggage, then head to my place.” Hyesung continues speaking. “Have you prepared your suitcase?”
“Errr… not yet.” Eric grins widely. He prepares mentally to listen to Hyesung’s nagging. “Here he comes.” he grimaces imaginarily. Of course he wouldn’t dare to show it in front of Hyesung or else it’ll be all night long.
“What??” Hyesung begins. “How can you be so irresponsible with your own things? You know that we will be going early morning, right? You won’t have enough time if you still need to pack, then sleep. You'd end up skipping breakfast” he huffs. “Come on, let’s go home now.”
Eric is just dumbfounded. His brain can’t process how Hyesung managed to say his saying in one breath in less than 5 seconds. And Hyesung is not even a rapper. Well, it seems so. “Okay.” he answers with defeated feeling.
“Now. I mean now is now, Eric.” Hyesung just can’t see Eric being so slow, “Ppali.” He’s not the patient one. So he just walks to Eric’s car with long strides. He knows that Eric cannot refuse his suggestion. He knows he holds a soft spot in Eric’s heart and he makes sure to use it properly. He already gave his car key to his manager so that he could arrive in the airport before the members and take care of things. Eric’s manager can be texted later and asked to pick them up tomorrow at Hyesung’s apartment to drive them to airport.
Hyesung stops beside Eric’s car. His hand is on the passenger seat’s handle “Door, please.”
Eric clicks a button in his remote key to unlock the doors. And he skips to his car as fast as his exhausted body can handle. They settle inside the car and buckle their seatbelts. The way back home is silent. Eric breaks the silence, “Are you nervous with the concert?”
“It always happens to me. I just worry if I can’t give my best and please our long waited fans.” Hyesung says in a heavy sigh.
“You're always like that. Don’t be, Hyesung-ie. We believe in your hard work. Everything will be alright. I’ll make sure that. Leave the rest to me and Junjin.” Eric tries to cheer Hyesung up. Hyesung is always the worrying type, and if he’s worried, everyone can get affected. “You have us on stage. We’re together again. We will have fun with Shinhwa Changjo. You miss them, right?”
Hyesung only replies with a small smile, but the smile has reached his eyes. Eric can be relieved now. He knows Hyesung will be fine. “Just be easy with your knee, kay? I won’t take care of you if you get injured again. Arasso?” he threatens him softly. His hand reaches Hyesung’s hair and ruffles it.
“Nooo!” Hyesung pouts and swats Eric’s hand away. He unconsciously flips down the shade in front of his passenger seat to look into that small mirror behind. He tries to fix his hair, and then he remembers they are on the way home. No need to be neat anymore. “Whatever.” Eric just chuckles hearing his answer and he once more ruffles Hyesung's hair. This time Hyesung just stays calm. Even he quietly enjoys Eric’s hand on his scalp. He likes the comfort Eric offers. He really likes Eric’s long fingers and every time he touches he delivers the warmth that Hyesung longs for secretly. But no way, he will not admit it to Eric. It’ll just encourage Eric for being more touchy-feely near him.
The trip only takes 20 minutes. In no matter of time, they arrive at Eric’s apartment. Eric opens his door and lets Hyesung close it behind him. He goes straight to his bedroom and takes the suitcase out from the closet. Hyesung follows inside.
“You get your toiletries. I will prepare your clothes, besides I can’t trust you with your fashion style. Minwoo will scold me if he knows I don’t take care of you.” Hyesung orders Eric. Eric just nods and heads to his bathroom. He doesn’t want to waste time. He’s dead tired, he can only think about bed and bed again, and sleep. He’s thankful that Hyesung is handling his belongings. He always does since he treats Eric’s things like his own things. They even bought some couple stuff, like hoodies, jackets, caps and whatnot.
They quickly finish the packing and Eric brings his suitcase out. “Passport? Game console? iPod?” Hyesung asks.
“Yup, everything’s in my backpack.” replies Eric. He stops for awhile and walks back to the kitchen. He grabs some lollipops from the jar, and then resumes walking to the door where Hyesung already stands and waits for him.
“Okay, then let’s go. We need to rest soon.” Hyesung just answer nonchalantly.
They promptly go to Hyesung’s apartment. After Hyesung let them in, he asks, “Want to have some tea before going to bed?”
Eric just throws himself on Hyesung couch and immediately closes his eyes. “Hmmm.”
Hyesung continues walking to the kitchen and makes some rose tea. He brings a cup of tea to the living room. He nudges Eric, “Get up. Here’s your tea.”
Eric only opens his eyes slightly, and gets up to sit beside Hyesung. He leans his head to Hyesung’s shoulder and receives his tea. He sips several times and hands it again to Hyesung. Then he wraps his arms around Hyesung’s waist and snuggles his head more to Hyesung’s shoulder again. Hyesung lets him this time and silently finishes Eric’s tea.
“Eric, bed now.” Hyesung wriggles a bit to free his body from Eric’s hold. “You still need to wash yourself and change. Come on, I’ll help you.” Hyesung stands up and offers his hand to Eric. He pulls Eric up and leads him to the guestroom.
“Brush your teeth. I’ll prepare your pyjamas. Don’t forget to wash your face thoroughly. You don’t want to get acnes before concert, do you?” Hyesung says while guides him to the bathroom since Eric can’t walk himself with those half-closed eyes. Eric just does what Hyesung says automatically.
“Here’s your pyjamas, Eric.” Hyesung knocks on bathroom’s door. Eric opens the door and takes the pyjamas from Hyesung’s hand. Yes, Hyesung and Eric have their personal things in each other apartment to make it easy when they have sleepover for some reasons, like this time. Things intimate like a couple would have, such as their toothbrush, pyjamas, sweatpants and some t-shirts, they put them in the other's apartment. It’s just common between them.
Eric changes his clothes with the pyjamas and then eagerly heads to the bed. He just drops his tired body on top of the quilt. In no time there comes his soft snore. His back faces the ceiling.
Not long after, Hyesung is back to check upon Eric. He’s already in his own pyjamas. He sees Eric lying on the bed, drooling. He draws near him and tugs him properly under the quilt. Eric grumbles sleepily and in between his unclear words, Hyesung hears “Hyesung-ah, joh-ahyo.” Hyesung just smiles, “Nado, Eric. Jaljayo.” Then he turns off the light, closes the door and goes to his own bedroom.

Hyesung wakes up by the time his iPhone buzzed. It’s 5am. Eric’s manager will pick them up at 6am. He has enough time to prepare himself and makes simple breakfast for Eric and him. In the kitchen, he prepares French toasts and sausages. He also pours orange juice into two glasses. Then he goes back to wake Eric up.
“Eric…” Hyesung shakes Eric lightly. Fortunately, Eric is not that hard to wake up especially when he knows he has to. Maybe it’s because his leader’s instinct. Eric opens his eyes. His eyes are a bit puffy due to lack of sleep. He scrubs his eyes carelessly then gets up to head to the bathroom.
“Breakfast is ready. I’ll be waiting in the kitchen in 5 minutes. If not, I’ll drag you out.” Hyesung says, amusedly watches Eric walking wobbly and bumping his head against the door’s frame.
Hyesung doesn’t have to wait for 5 minutes since Eric’s now sitting on the kitchen stool and religiously digging in his breakfast. “Whoa… Hyesung-ah, absolutely delicious!” Eric comments whole-heartedly. He flashes his infamous thumb-up pose.
Hyesung grins sheepishly, “Don’t talk with your mouth full.” but he takes the compliments thankfully. “Just finish it quickly. Btw, it’s your turn to wash the dishes. I’ll be preparing myself. Your manager will come at 6 sharp.” he concludes.
When all are ready, the door bell rings. Hyesung and Eric head to the door with their luggage. Eric’s manager stands outside the door right on time. He then helps them diligently and brings Hyesung’s luggage to the car. He puts all their luggage in the trunk, then sits himself on driver’s seat. “Ready?” he asks. Hyesung and Eric just nod and thank him.
The journey to Incheon Airport only takes about 40 minutes, thanks to the quiet traffic in the early morning. Even this early, there are fans waiting for them outside and inside the airport. The fans are really something. They cheer them up before the concert that Shinhwa will hold in Taiwan, and willingly see them off and later will greet them back.
Hyesung walks in front of Eric. Hyesung’s manager greets them and guides them through the crowds. They walk together to the departure gate of Incheon Airport. The other members are already there. They greet and joke to each other. One by one they pass the checking gate. Eric walks behind Hyesung. He silently takes out one of his lollipops and carefully sneaks it into Hyesung’s backpack.
They check in their flight and drop their luggage. One more time they have to pass the immigration checkpoint. The immigration officers check all their bags carefully. When Hyesung sees there’s one thing that not belongs to him, he frowns. A lollipop is spotted nicely among his belongings. He searches around and sees Eric is already waiting for them with a lollipop in his mouth. He winks when their eyes meet. Hyesung just sticks his tongue out slightly. After all, he takes the lollipop, unwraps and begins to suck on it slowly. He enjoys the sweetness both from the lollipop and Eric’s affection toward him. Eric just watches and smirks happily.
