I hope this is not much of a fail :P
#1. Red-eye (non AU, KyuWook, 225 words).
Kyu Hyun dozes off unknowingly during the flight, and when he lazily opens his eyes, they catch the sight of Ryeo Wook sleeping figure, his head dropped on Kyu Hyun's shoulder. The boy looks so seraphic while sleeping, just like when he's awake; and Kyu Hyun can't help smiling. How can anyone not be nice to this angel, he wonders, because Ryeo Wook is the sweetest person he has ever and will ever know. He might look fragile, might act childlike sometimes, but when Kyu Hyun wants to be comforted, wants to keep his balance, or simply wants a listener, he comes to none other than Ryeo Wook, who can comfort him just by holding his hand, or singing a song with his soft voice, or merely sits in silence and listens attentively to whatever Kyu Hyun blabbers about. The ease he feels whenever he's with Ryeo Wook is not something Kyu Hyun can describe with words, or wants to describe with words; but it's there, deep down inside his heart.
The morning is dawning outside, Kyu Hyun yawns before burying his face in Ryeo Wook's silky hair, breaths in the delicate scent of his shampoo and falls into another peaceful slumber. A busy schedule with SJ-M is waiting ahead, but he knows he can manage to do anything.
Because here they have this angel...
#2. Orange juice. (non AU, HanWook, Han Geng/everyone, 316 words)
No one here recognizes him. To the young waitress who offers him an affable smile, he's just a handsome customer who orders a glass of orange juice and not a member of the most populous boy band in the world.
Perhaps his popularity hasn't reached this quiet town. Perhaps he does not at all look like a super star, the "1.3 billion miracle" or whatever they call him in this plain white shirt Si Won bought him, this pair of jeans Henry returned to him not so long ago, these sneakers Dong Hae chose for him, this pair of glasses Zhou Mi gave him, this black cap from Kyu Hyun. He's left for a while, and though it isn't something he wants to do, it's a must; sometimes he still feels like it's betrayal.
The juice is served, and suddenly it reminds him of the orange juice Ryeo Wook made for him. All the boys is caring to him, but rather than that Ryeo Wook is amongst the few who does take care of him. When he has extra schedule and comes home late exhausted from overworking, there's always a glass of orange juice ready for him in the refrigerator. "It's the least I can do, hyung. If you want to eat anything, I'll make it for you, just tell me.", and he remembers smiling to the younger, don't you have your own schedule, you should take good care of yourself first. He misses it so much, the taste of orange juice, the concerned look on Ryeo Wook's face; the boy himself with his angelic smile; the songs he sings, the songs they sing, the moment they dance as a group on the stage, the laughter and tears they share onstage and backstage, the hardship and happiness they undergo together... He misses it all, he misses them all...
Why does life have to be this bitter...?
#3 Tie a yellow ribbon round an old oak tree (historical AU, fem! Ryeo Wook, KyuWook/ MinWook, 419 words)
She has waited, waited and waited all the past three years for this day, the day the war ends and the army returns in victory; everyone is screaming and crying and embracing each other in happiness. Three years with only one letter from him, night after night she cries quietly in her sleep, because during the day she's the Princess, Ryeo Wook has to act strong, has to pretend that she's proud that Kyu Hyun is on the battlefield fighting against the country's enemy. Three years has passed, and Ryeo Wook is here, in the shade of the old oak tree where they first met, where they first kissed, where he bade her farewell and made the promise to meet her there when he came back. Ryeo Wook's known it by heart, the one and only letter Kyu Hyun sent her, I want to see a yellow ribbon tied on our tree when I come back, if you're still waiting for me, my love; but she doesn't follow what he said. She wants him to see how much she loves, how much she's missed him, and a single yellow ribbon is absolutely not enough; she ties them on every branch, as many as possible, until there are hundreds of yellow ribbons fluttering in the autumn breeze; and Ryeo Wook's heart pounds like it's about to burst when she hears footsteps from behind. She closes her eyes, waiting for an embrace so tight that she can't breathe, a kiss so sweet that she doesn't want to break for air, his husky voice whispering I miss you to her ears...
But nothing happens.
Ryeo Wook turns around, isn't any longer able to keep her patience, and soon her smile fades away, her lips wobble as she mumbles where is he, where is my Kyu Hyun; but Sung Min doesn't utter a word, simply hands her a handkerchief, Kyu Hyun's, wrapped neatly around a strand of hair, Kyu Hyun's; and Ryeo Wook arms hung down, you liar, you has promised me, you has told me to wait, I've tide yellow ribbons round our tree, why are you like this?
Sung Min bites down his lips as he watches crystal tears fall down Ryeo Wook's cheeks, he wants to wipe them away, wants to tell her that he's here for her, he loves her as much, if not more, than Kyu Hyun does, but he just can't.
On the tree the ribbons flying in an unknown rhythm as the autumn wind rises again...
#4. Green tea. (non AU, Kyu Hyun, Ryeo Wook, Dong Hae, 233 words)
Dong Hae is really curious about the drink Kyu Hyun and Ryeo Wook are taking, they tell him it's green tea, but as far as Dong Hae knows green tea is bitter, how can they drink something bitter with content expression like that???
"That isn't green tea right? You two are kidding me, I'm not dumb, you know." - he raises his voice, and the two magnaes look up at him with doe eyes, Ryeo Wook takes off the earphone he's sharing with Kyu Hyun. "What do you mean, hyung? This is green tea."
"Green tea is bitter. This is not."
Kyu Hyun snickers. "We drink it. How do you know it's not bitter?"
"See? You're smirking, Kyu! You think that you can play this trick on me again?! Last time you tell me Ryeo Wook's cookies are inedible, and you eat them up yourself, I'll never forget that!"
"But hyung..."
"Well, Ryeo Wook, if Dong Hae hyung wants to try, just let him try." - Kyu Hyun smiles impishly. "But I warn you it's really bitter for your taste, hyung ah..."
Dong Hae glares at him, lifts up Ryeo Wook's mug *it seems to be safer than Kyu Hyun's anyway*, and after eyeing the pale green infusion carefully, he takes a sip.
He winces. Bitter. Really really bitter.
Ryeo Wook's lips curve up and Kyu Hyun doesn't bother to muffle his laughter any longer.
#5. Blue sea, sea of blues (AU, KyuWook,246 words)
*prompted by my unnie thewindchime *
When I looked out on the ocean
Lord, it was deep and wide
Well, my baby's gone
And I can't go on...
Hank Thompson : Cryin' In The Deep Blue Sea
Ryeo Wook has a strange obsession with the sea. His hometown is a port city, he loves blue, he idolizes Bada, his best friend name's is Dong Hae; and Kyu Hyun wonders if there is anything else that he forgets to count out. Sometimes Kyu Hyun chuckles as they wander along the seashore "I have nothing to do with the sea, why do you love me?", and Ryeo Wook lets out a soft laugh "Does it even matter, because I just love you", and his hand twines around Kyu Hyun's, and they kiss, and...
Kyu Hyun climbs to the highest cliffs along the seashore, alone, and for the first time he realizes how immense the sea is, and all at once sorrow overwhelms his heart. If only he can pretend that nothing's happened, but it has
; Ryeo Wook's gone forever, and never again will Kyu Hyun meet him in this lifetime. He kneels down, carefully places the urn on the ground, his fingers still linger on it drawing invisible patterns just like he used to do on Ryeo Wook's skin, the surface all smooth and cold and it gives him chills. It's his last wish, and Kyu Hyun, though doesn't really want to, will do whatever Ryeo Wook tells him to, even to scatter his ashes to the deep blue sea he's always loved. His sight gets blurry, and Kyu wonders, is it the blue sea or the sea of blues he's seeing?
Perhaps both...
#6. Indigo sky (non AU, KyuWook, 284 words)
Ryeo Wook hears footsteps from behind, but he doesn't need to turn around to know who it is. He's too used to it, that solemn pace, after four years together, perhaps there's nothing about Kyu Hyun he doesn't know. "How is Zhou Mi hyung?"
Kyu Hyun's voice, all low and husky, resounds. "I think he's okay now. He's kinda got used to it anyway. Henry's too, but he's quite angry this time. It's a little over the limit."
"They don't know, or they don't want to know? The burden we have on stage... I don't understand, Henry and hyung have tried their best, they do nothing wrong, why they have to be like that?" - Ryeo Wook's voice trembles, his chin places on his knees, looking more fragile than ever, his chocolate eyes glistening as Kyu Hyun caresses his back. "Maybe they don't... They're not in our shoes, you know. When I joined our group, things didn't go smoothly either... But compared to them, my problem's like nothing..."
Ryeo Wook leans against Kyu Hyun's body, both look up quietly at the indigo night sky above, and Ryeo Wook does the gesture of taking a photo. "What do you see on the sky, Kyu?"
"Twinkling stars? Tonight there's not many clouds."
"Stars only shine at night right? They call us stars, does that mean our lives have to be all dark like this for us to shine? We've been in a lot of troubles recently... How will our future be? I'm not sure about anything anymore..."
Kyu Hyun takes his hand and breaths out a sigh. "I wish I knew... I just know we have to try our best..."
Really, what more can they do?...
#7 Lavender field (AU, MinWook, 182 words)
Sung Min never expects to see this when he wakes up early in the morning and decides to take a walk around his grandfather's farm, an angel in his lavender field. He's stunned just by looking at the other's back, the small waist, the milky white skin exposed at his neck, yes, Sung Min can tell that's a boy for the rather short hair and the lack of curves, but it doesn't keep him from thinking he's a beautiful creature.
Deep in thoughts, he doesn't notice it when the boy finishes picking up the flowers until Sung Min hears a soft voice Hello, his eyes meet a pair of soft brown eyes and a dazzling angelic smile which is half hidden behind the bunch of flowers, yet Sung Min knows that he's absolutely right to guess that he's a pretty boy. "Hello, I'm Mr Lee's grandson, Sung Min, nice to meet you."
"My name is Ryeo Wook. Nice to meet you too!" - he beams, and Sung Min's heart flutters.
Well, maybe the vacation in this town isn't as boring as I thought...
