After finally completing the introductory filming, Ryeowook collapsed on the bed he had chosen- furthest away from the window. Henry was no where to be found, probably being dragged around by Donghae.
Ryeowook glanced at the clock. It read 7:00 pm. His stomach growled, but, deciding that he was more tired than hungry, he closed his eyes, ready to drift off to sleep. Before he succeeded in entering the unconscious world, however, he was rather rudely interrupted by what seemed like a human explosion as Eunhyuk, Donghae, and Henry burst into the room.
“Wookie, Wookie! You have got to come to the swimming pool with us!”
“It is the coolest thing there! There’s even waterslides!”
“Hurry up and change! Me and Eunhyuk are going to change now!”
“Yes, hurry! See ya!”
Ryeowook blinked in confusion. Sometimes, he felt as though he couldn’t even tell Eunhyuk and Donghae apart. Who said what now?
“Hyung~ Get up already! I want to go to the swimming pool with you.” Henry said. He was sitting on the edge of his own bed, head tilted to one side as he watched Ryeowook with a small smile.
Ryeowook finally sat up, yawning. “Okay, okay. You still have to change right?”
Henry nodded and, standing up, began tugging at his pants.
“W-what! Henli! S-stop!” Ryeowook stammered, quickly glancing away.
Henry looked at the other boy in confusion. “I’m changing into my swimming trunks. What’s wrong?” He asked innocently, unable to comprehend why Ryeowook seemed so panicked.
Ryeowook himself was biting his lip, feeling his cheeks flush and getting warmer by the second. “Um… I was… I mean, the window is open! Do you want to get caught on camera changing?” He said the first thing that came into mind, and had happened to be staring at the window. “G-go change in the washroom, I’ll go and use the one down the hallway so it’ll be faster.” He added, digging out his swimming trunks and running out the door, leaving a bewildered Henry standing there with his pants unzipped.
‘Stupid, stupid Kim Ryeowook. You couldn’t even keep your cool. Henry is right. What’s wrong with guys changing in front of other guys?’ In his head, Ryeowook was yelling at himself. He turned the corner to the washroom and froze, eyes fixed on the scene before him.
Kyuhyun had Sungmin pinned against the wall, and it was obvious that they weren’t talking to each other with their mouths mashed together.
‘Was that even possible?’ Ryeowook couldn’t help but pause and think about that ridiculous idea. Sungmin opened his eyes and their gaze met. Ryeowook froze.
Crap. So what should he do now? Continue to the washroom? Turn around and run? Kyuhyun and Sungmin? Kissing? It was obviously out of passion and not just the affection that the members had for each other.
Sungmin broke the kiss, pushing Kyuhyun away and looking guiltily at Ryeowook. Kyuhyun, on the other hand, upon noticing Ryeowook, shrugged, his expression as calm and unmoved as usual. His next words chilled Ryeowook down to the core of his existence.
“What, don’t tell me you haven’t thought about kissing a certain someone too.”
Ryeowook froze at Kyuhyun’s words, and his thoughts immediately flashed to Henry.
Henry, when he was playing the violin with his eyes closed, a serene picture of innocence.
Henry, who’s whole small frame would shake when he was crying against Ryeowook’s shoulder.
Henry, who’s smile lit up the world.
Henry, Henry…
Without a word, Ryeowook ran past the others to the washroom. His heart… Why was it beating so much? Why were his hands shaking? Why did it feel like he couldn’t control anything anymore? Why were his thoughts full of Henry?
Still unable to control his emotions, Ryeowook absent-mindedly changed into his shorts. As he finished, he looked up in the mirror and did a double-take. Henry…? Why was he in the mirror? He was so close… Ryeowook reached out, eyes fixed on the reflection that somehow had become Henry in his mind. His fingers were millimetres away from touching the boy in front of him but when it made contact with the cold hard surface of the mirror, it jolted him out of his thoughts. Once more, the reflection was of his own face, lost and full of longing.
When he had finally collected his emotions, Ryeowook joined Henry back in their room, and they both headed out towards the pool.
Henry shot Ryeowook another quick glance for the fifth time since they had left their room. What was wrong with Ryeowook? The older boy hadn’t said a single word and seemed lost in thought.
Trying to get his attention, Henry reached out and took Ryeowook’s hand, twining their fingers together. This resulted in an immediate reaction from Ryeowook.
Yanking his hand back, Ryeowook blurted out, “What are you doing?!” His voice was louder than usual, sounding angry more than anything else.
Startled, Henry looked up at Ryeowook’s face, hurt and confused. “Wookie-hyung, did I do something wrong? Are you mad at me? I’m sorry for teasing you in front of Zhou Mi ge earlier…” He apologized for the only thing that came into mind that would explain why Ryeowook seemed upset with him.
“No, Henli-yah, it’s nothing. I’m sorry I snapped at you.” Ryeowook murmured, feeling incredibly guilty as he looked up at Henry’s innocent face. He found his gaze travelling down to Henry’s lips and mentally slapped himself. “C’mon, Eunhyuk and Donghae are probably waiting for us.” He added, hurrying forward, now unable to look at the younger boy’s face. Kyuhyun’s words continued to haunt him, replaying over and over in his head.
“What, don’t tell me you haven’t thought about kissing a certain someone too.”
No, no, no. He shouldn’t even be thinking about it. A kiss between guys, a kiss between friends, a kiss… with Henry. His head hurt. His chest - no, his heart, was aching. He could feel his cheeks warm up for the hundredth time today, but it wasn’t just his face now. His whole body felt warm, but yet he could feel himself breaking out in cold sweat.
Henry, Henry, Henry…
Henry trailed after Ryeowook, wanting to cry out in frustration. What was it that was bothering Ryeowook? Why wouldn’t he tell him? What is going on...?
