Love Calls
A/N: A series of mini-stories set at the time Siwon went to China for filming. Also, a sequel to 'Unspoken'.
Kyuhyun's No. 3
( 。・_・。)人(。・_・。 )
“Kyuhyun!! Say those lines with the feeling of seducing someone! Like a playboy!” The director yelled as he instructed the other actors what to do next. “Alright! Everyone practice doing what I told you! Take five everyone!”
The musical was set to start that month and everyone’s nervous and excited. Kyuhyun has memorized his lines already; all he has left to do is practice showing those emotions. “Stupid emotions..” Kyuhyun sighed as he drank his tonic. “He wants emotions, then I’ll show him emotions!”
He quickly thought of how to go overboard with his acting - yelling out the girl’s name with such a sleazy feel; laughing like a deranged maniac; walking like a mafia boss… “I’ll show the director I could act with stupid emotions!” He felt like doing an evil laugh, but if he did his co-actors might think something has gone wrong with him. Then something on his pocket vibrated. It was his phone.
“Kyuhyun! I missed you so much! I want to go home now and eat you!” Siwon said impatiently.
“Oh. Hyung, are you doing fine?” Kyuhyun said impassively.
‘Don’t you miss me Kyu baby? Why do you sound so bored? No way! You don't love me anymore?!’ The older man whimpered as Kyuhyun sighed. ‘Seriously? Wait, I’m going back to Korea right now. We need to talk!!’
“Hyung, I was just..”
‘You can’t just not love me anymore! There must be a reason to it!’
“Hyuungg!”
‘I’m doing this for our future Kyu. Everything I’m doing is for you, for us! Why can’t you understand that?’
“Hyung! Shut up and listen to me!” Kyuhyun yelled and made everyone near him stare. He covered up the phone’s speaker and turned to his co-actors. “My manager got lost and he’s panicking. Excuse me~” He smiled then went out the room to find a quiet, empty place.
“Hyung are you still there?”
‘Hmm?’ Disappointment was obvious in Siwon's tone. Kyuhyun laughed at how the man was easy to trick.
“Hyung! I was just joking alright. Listen, we’ve only got a few minutes left then I’ll be rehearsing again.”
‘So.. you still love me?’
“Yes, but you’re still number 3.” Kyuhyun laughed noisily. Siwon on the other line was furious and started badgering the maknae why he was still at number 3.
“H-hyung! Haha!” Kyuhyun snorted. “Hyung! You’ll always be number 3!” He laughed again as Siwon made sounds of dissatisfaction over his rank.
‘I did everything for you and I’m still number 3? When will I be your number 1?’
“You can’t be number 1. That spot is for my dad; number 2 is Jungsoo hyung. Then you’re number 3!” Kyuhyun explained cheerfully.
‘I’ll get rid of Jungsoo hyung so I could be your second!’ Siwon said. Kyuhyun nodded.
One of the musical staff caught his attention. She was already motioning for him to hurry up since the rehearsals were about to start.
“Hyung, I’ve got to go practice now.”
‘Alright. I’ve got to go too..’
“Take care!”
‘You too, Kyu. Call you later.’
Kyuhyun hung up and stored his phone in his pocket. He wanted to talk to Siwon longer; even listening to him breath, laugh, or whine makes his day. But he knows both of them have schedules to keep. So he skipped happily back to their practice room; excited with the thought of Siwon’s next call.
How to Make the Maknae Eat Breakfast
(づ￣ ³￣)づ ￢o(￣-￣ﾒ)
It was a nice morning that day. The Super Junior dormitory bustled noisily as Ryeowook came back from the gym and is now preparing breakfast; Sungmin was chatting with Shindong about plans of expanding the latter’s online store; Yesung sprawling next to Hyukjae across the living room with Donghae kicking them from the sofa, all waiting impatiently for their breakfast. Their schedules were to start later in the afternoon and everybody was happy to spend a normal morning with each other.
“Breakfast is ready! Let’s eat!” Ryeowook called from the kitchen.
“I’ll go pick up the others upstairs.” Eunhyuk volunteered. Yesung was about to go and wake up their maknae but Sungmin interrupted him.
“Hyung, let the maknae sleep. I heard him talking on the phone with Siwon late last night.”
Kyuhyun’s phone noisily vibrated against his pillow. He thought someone was drilling a hole on his head when he realized it was his phone. His eyes were too sleepy to see who was calling but nevertheless, he answered the call.
“hurmm.. h-hello?”
‘You should never answer any calls like that.’
“Oh Shwon hyuungg.. Goo morning..” Kyuhyun spoke as he yawned.
‘Don’t ever answer other calls in the morning like that! Your bedroom voice is just too much.. I think I need a cold shower..’
“Ah hyung why are you like that in the morning?” Kyuhyun opened his eyes and lazily got up. “Wait.. I’m going to wash my face first..” He yawned as he stretched out and then went to the bathroom outside; still holding on to his phone.
“Hey Kyuhyun! Get over here and eat breakfast with us!” Shindong called out as soon as Kyuhyun came out of his room. Kyuhyun blinked at them sleepily and showed them the phone on his hand and idly said, “Siwon hyungie..”
All the members yelled their greetings and asked how the man was. Kyuhyun laughed and then went to the bathroom with his phone in tow.
“There I’m done washing. Is my voice alright now? How is China?”
‘The weather is fine and the people are great. We’re going to check out the filming sites later. Promise not to let anyone hear your bedroom voice except for me!”
“Alriigghhht~ Sheesh.”
‘Good. Now go eat your breakfast! I know you’re back in bed!’
“How did you..” Kyuhyun suddenly got up from his bed and searched his room for unknown cameras. It was true though, after he went to the bathroom outside, he went back to his room and lazily sprawled in his bed.
‘I heard the others calling you to come back and eat breakfast then you closed a door.’
“Ooohh.. you’re so smart, hyung.” Kyuhyun complimented. Siwon gave out a shy laughter.
‘There’s no use getting to my good side. Go and eat breakfast, Kyu.’
“How about you? If I eat now you wouldn’t have anyone to talk to.” Kyuhyun asked, half pretending to be worried.
‘Then I’ll call you later again.’ Kyuhyun knew Siwon was smiling by the way he spoke to him.
“Hmm..” He rolled back into his bed. Half of him wanted to sleep and the other wanted to talk to Siwon more.
‘Eat up and I promise to call again. You still have practice this afternoon, right?’
Kyuhyun yawned.
‘Or do you want to play?’
“Play? A game? What game?”
‘The game where you call out my name begging me to do you hard and rough, just the way you like it.’
The maknae arrogantly hooted. “You can’t do that. Remember you’re in China and I’m here.”
“We can do it on phone! There’s a video call feature on our phones right? I can also put you in speakerphones.. I wonder how you will sound on the phone… Ah. I love technology.’
“I can always reject your calls.”
‘Hmm.. how about if I tweet this video clip that I have? I remember it was the time you got drunk when I was away filming.. You were crying that time and.. you were calling out my name.. Do you remember that? Begging me to hurry up and come back?’
“Fine! I’ll eat breakfast! Just don’t upload anything! And we are not playing your stupid game!” He heard Siwon laugh. “You’re mean, you know that! You're a big meanie! And you’re not smart either!” More laughter came from Siwon.
'I miss you Kyu!’
“I don’t! Stay there for as long as you like! I’m going to eat now!” Just like that, Kyuhyun hangs up on Siwon. He thought about the said video. He knows he had it deleted - and he personally made sure that no one has a copy of it. His phone alerted him of a message. It was from Siwon.
‘Did you think I would let you delete that precious video of yours? ㅎㅎㅎ’
Kyuhyun cursed loudly as he stomped out of his room, his phone on his pocket.
“Siwon hyung is so sweet! He calls you everyday even when he's abroad. You must be so happy Kyu!” said Ryeowook.
Donghae who was eating his second serving of rice said, “Are you going to eat or are you waiting for Siwon to call again? Because if not, then can I have your part?”
“No! That stupid hyung said I should eat or else, he's going to play a stupid game! And no, he’s NOT sweet! If he’s anything then he is a pervert! A stupid, mean, pervert!”
He Lied
｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡
It was the first night for his musical and Kyuhyun was nervous. He was always nervous when he has to do things for the first time: musical, premieres, music show performances… and Siwon likes to tease him when he gets nervous. Tonight, he got even more nervous since Siwon wasn’t there to cheer for him personally. He checked his phone for messages or calls he might have missed, but there were none. The stage director tells them they only have five minutes before the start of the show. Still, he waited anxiously for his phone to ring.
The first night was a success. Kyuhyun might have made a mistake while dancing but he knows the he said his lines perfectly. He was proud of himself. His friends and family were proud of him. Siwon would be proud of him. Speaking of the man, Kyuhyun checks his phone - two messages and a missed call, all of them from Siwon.
“Heh, wishing me luck when it’s too late! I’ll show you dear Siwon~!”
“Hey! Kyuhyun! Aren’t going with us? Everyone’s ready to party!” The director called out. Everyone was ready to leave to celebrate their success, including him.
“I’m coming with you guys! Wait for me!” Kyuhyun excitedly skipped towards their vehicle.
His phone vibrated to signal Kyuhyun an incoming call. He ignored it and continued to sing and drink with his co-actors and staff. Many times his phone vibrated - messages and calls, still he ignored them. This is what you get for forgetting the date of my musical premiere!! Kyuhyun said as he grabbed the mic and started singing loudly. His voice was great except that he was singing a ballad song too loudly it sounded like trot.
Kyuhyun tiptoed his way inside the dorms. It was already ten past two in the morning when he reached their dorms and he was sure the leader was going to scold him if he gets caught. Slowly he made his way into the kitchen for cold water and then to his room. His phone has gone silent during the last two hours; he wondered if Siwon was already asleep.
He changed into his pyjamas and climbed on to his bed. Good thing nobody woke up even when he fell and stumbled on the kitchen. He felt sleepy and dizzy. He wanted to sleep for the whole day today. He closes his eyes. Stupid Siwon. His head was filled of images of Siwon having fun and forgetting about his lonely lover in Korea.
Kyuhyun’s phone lit up on the bedside table and vibrated. It continued to do so which means someone is calling him. He already had an idea to who the caller was. Lazily, he reached for his phone and his guess was right. He answered it.
“Do you know what time it is here in Korea?!” Kyuhyun tried to whisper but ended up yelling with a rough voice.
‘Well did you know how many times I tried calling you? Did you even see my messages?!’ Siwon replied with the same enraged tone.
“I was deliberately ignoring your calls and messages!!”
‘Deliberately?!!’
“Yeah! Deliberately! Intentionally! Purposely! I did it on purposeee!!”
‘Hey! Cho Kyuhyun! If this is about me forgetting your musical schedule, I already apologized in a message I sent you! Or maybe you haven’t read that one since you IGNORED ME ALL NIGHT!’
“Well SORRY for ignoring you! I was busy hanging out with people who CHEERED and REMEMBERED that I have a musical tonight!”
“Oh my god! Will you two please shut up! IT’S FREAKING FOUR IN THE MORNING!!” Sungmin who was peacefully sleeping on the other side of the room was now awake and angry over the bickering noise that was Kyuhyun and Siwon. “UGH! You two!”
Kyuhyun quickly apologized and got out of the room with a pillow, a blanket, and his phone in hand. He was really sleepy but he was too angry to go to sleep. He wanted to yell and then punch Siwon in the face. The distance that separated them was frustrating. That and the alcohol’s effects were still on him.
He took his time arranging his pillow and blanket on the sofa. Then he stretched out lazily; inhaling deeply before turning his attention on his phone. He could still hear Siwon breathing over at the other end; fingers impatiently tapping on a table.
Kyuhyun started again.
“Now look what you did! Sungmin hyung woke up so I kind of got kicked out! Now where were we.. oh yeah! YOU FORGOT!!”
‘And you went out with other people without telling me! I want to know their names! Were there any men who tried to hit on you? How many drinks have you had?’Siwon demanded.
“They’re my co-actors! And why do you need to know their names when you can’t even remember the date of my musical!”
‘Cho Kyu-‘
“And I drank more than I could because I'm mad at you!! Arrgh!”
‘Fine! But I already apologized in my message earlier! You would have read it if you didn’t ignore me!” He was still yelling; but his voice sounded sad.
Kyuhyun stayed silent; a bit dizzy from restraining himself from yelling too much. He only hoped the other members were still asleep; he can’t handle any more talking with other people. Siwon was proving to be too much for his tired state. He wished he hadn’t drunk that last mixed drink.
‘I’ll apologize again if you’re still mad at me. Will you let me apologize?’ Siwon’s voice sounded calmer but still annoyed.
“Go on then. Apologize.” Kyuhyun seemed indifferent - and nauseous. He lied on the sofa and closed his eyes as he waited for his lover to apologize. He heard Siwon sigh in resignation. It took the man some time before finally speaking up.
‘I’m sorry, Kyu. Really sorry.. I only remembered your musical when the manager told me about it. I had all of your musical’s schedules stored in my phone but somehow they all got deleted. Kyu, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to call you before.. I promise to write all your schedules again and then I’ll call you everytime.’
“And what else should you be apologizing for huh??”
‘What else? Hmm I’m sorry I freaked out and yelled at you earlier- ”
“Not that! The other thing!”
‘What other thing?’
“That other thing! That was the reason I got mad at you. Manager told me everything..” His anger turned into concern mixed with a hint of annoyance. “You lied about filming yesterday. You were really sick the whole day weren’t you? You should tell me when you don’t feel well! You always pretend to be alright when you’re far away and that’s stupid!”
‘Why do you sound annoyed again? I didn’t tell you that I was sick because I didn’t want to make you worry! Especially when it’s your musical’s first night!’
“But still! What would the others say when you’re there sick and then I’m here unaware that you’re sick, hanging out with my friends? Hyung, I want to take care of you even if you’re in China or wherever. At least tell me if you’re not feeling well! I'm mad at you because you didn't let me worry about you!”
They weren’t really yelling at each other; however, they both strongly believed in their arguments and none of them wanted to give up so they end up fighting.
Siwon being the man that could easily give in to his Kyuhyun decided to lower his guard down, even though in his mind he was doing the right thing protecting Kyuhyun and all.
“I also want to be a good boyfriend to you.”
‘I understand.. but you already are a good boyfriend!’
Siwon heard Kyuhyun whining. ‘Alright, stop whining! I’m sorry for not telling you I was sick yesterday morning. Also that was the reason I forgot about your musical. I’m also sorry if I made you worry too much and I’m sorry if I yelled at you earlier.. you weren’t answering my calls and nobody would tell me where you are so I freaked out!’
“See? That’s how I felt when the manager told me you were sick and you hid it from me!”
‘You’re such a child right now..’
“That’s what you get when you choose a maknae!”
Kyuhyun smiled as he heard Siwon’s laughter. “Sorry, hyung for yelling at you. But, hyung, if things get tough on you or if you get sick, please tell me… you know you can depend on me.”
‘That would be against my principle..’
“Just try it sometimes, hyung. Like how I depend on you when I’m sad..”
Siwon sighed. ‘alright.. at least I’ll try to. Oh, and Kyu..’
“What is it?” Kyuhyun happily chirped. At least Siwon knows what he feels now.
‘..lay off the TV and those drama series you’re watching. You get these lines from those dramas didn’t you?’
“W-what the hell?! Those were my feelings hyung!! My real feelings! I.. t-those dramas... they help me convey my feelings for you!”
Siwon was laughing heartily on the other end. ‘I bet your face is red by now! Haha!’
Kyuhyun knew he was already blushing as he felt hot in his cheeks. “Hyung you’ve gone crazy! Go to sleep!”
‘Wait! I want to see you! Let’s do a video call!’
“I don’t want to! Wait! Hyung? H-hello?” Kyuhyun sighed and then when he realized he would be seeing Siwon’s face again, his heart skipped. Siwon was calling him again. This time it was a video call. He nervously pressed the answer button. He wasn’t prepared for what he saw. His face turned red as he saw Siwon’s face in the phone’s screen, and he noticed the man was… shirtless. The screen doesn't capture Siwon shirtless but the bare shoulders and a bit of his well defined chest was visible. He was alone in his hotel room.
“HYUNG! What are you doing?! Hurry and put your shirt back on or you’ll get sick again! That’s the reason why you get sick easily! Put your shirt on!” Kyuhyun hurriedly nagged.
‘But this is what I wear when I sleep. You should know that.’ Siwon beamed like a child. He laughed as Kyuhyun turned his head from side to side, checking if anybody was watching them.
“I know that hyung! But can you please put on a shirt? If somebody sees you in my phone screen looking like that, they’ll think of me as a pervert!”
‘Nobody will see us. It’s still early~’ Siwon whined. ‘I miss you a lot.. to tell you the truth, I wanted to do video calls with you more often. But I’m afraid I’ll only end up missing you more.’
“F-fine! Stay shirtless.. well, at least until you get cold.” Kyuhyun said. The red tints on his cheeks were still there. Unable to face Siwon directly, he covered the lower part of his face with his blanket.
“S-so how was your d-day? Did you have a great - WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING CHOI SIWON?!!”
‘Showing you my biceps.. You should be missing them a lot since this days you don’t have my arms to cuddle you-‘
-CLICK-
“Damn you Siwon and your stupid biceps!! How dare you seduce me with that?!” Kyuhyun cursed under his breath as the images of Siwon, shirtless and flexing his biceps, ran through his mind. His face - or rather his whole body felt strangely hot. He tugged the blanket closer to him and curled himself into a ball.
‘I’m sorry I won’t do that again! I was just teasing you.’ Siwon chuckled as he immediately called again. No videos, just a plain phone call.
“Stupid Siwon…” Kyuhyun whispered softly.
It was already five in the morning and both of them are still on the phone. No one wanted to hang up.
‘Kyu, are you going to sleep now?’
“I should be. Are you going to sleep now?”
‘If you are then I’m going to sleep, too. But before you hang up, can you.. say that you miss me? O-or just a plain ‘I love you Siwon’ or ‘goodnight and dream of me Siwon’ - something along those lines.’
“Hyung did you take your medications? A doctor on this TV show said that long distance relationships can cause delusions and then-“
‘No! It’s not that! And you make it sound like I’m crazy! I just wanted to hear you say you miss me and you want me badly at your si-‘
“Tacky and cheesy. I don’t say that kind of lines. I'm not an easy person.” Kyuhyun quickly said. He wanted to say those exact words Siwon had mentioned, but if he did then their conversation will have ended immediately and he doesn't want it to end just yet.
‘But you say it all the time! You just didn’t notice..’
“Goodnight, hyung~ There! Now go to sleep! Your phone bill should be shooting up to the skies right now.”
‘Kyu you’re making me feel miserable. Do you want me to die of too much sadness? Besides, I told you before right? Just to be able to hear your voice -’
Kyuhyun knew what Siwon’s next lines were. Siwon has said this once on a TV interview, and never before in his entire life had he been embarrassed like that. Now every time Siwon repeats that line, his body freezes and his soul dries up with too much embarrassment.
"Hyung I swear if you continue-"
‘Just to hear your sweet voice at night-’
“AH!! tralalalalalala~”
‘MONEY IS -’
“I can’t hear anything! LALALALALALA~”
‘NOT-’
“wooshoowoshoong~ oh look an airplane!”
‘A FUCKING ISSUE.’
Kyuhyun stopped making those weird noises and stared blankly at the ceiling. He did not cringe. Nor did he experience goose bumps. His soul was fine - he was fine.
‘I don’t mind spending money if it means I get to hear your voice every day, every night, Kyu.’
Kyuhyun closed his eyes and listened carefully to the silence that came after. If he really listened closely, he felt like Siwon was just beside him sleeping. But when he opened his eyes, he was alone. Siwon was still in China.
‘Kyu? Are you still awake? Kyu!’
“Hyung.. I miss you.” His voice cracked. “I miss you. Hurry up and come home to me.. hurry up. Please?”
Siwon stuttered. He was surprised to hear Kyuhyun break down easily. Kyuhyun’s end was quiet; Siwon was sure the maknae was holding his tears back. ‘Kyu, h-hey! You can’t say those lines yet! You can’t break down now.. Don’t cry! Hyung will be sad..’
“Got you.”
‘Huh? What?’
“I was just kidding and you fell for it!” Kyuhyun let out a small laugh. “See my acting skills have improved!”
‘KYU! I was already thinking of flying back there in the morning! Ah! You really got me right there..’ Siwon can hear Kyuhyun giggling. ‘I really thought you were about to cry! Ah really. Stop watching too much drama! Now go to sleep! You're the one who sounds crazy..’
Kyuhyun replied with a muffled ‘yeah’.
‘Goodnight Kyu.’
“Goodnight, Si-won-ni hyuung~”
Siwon laughed at Kyuhyun's aegyo. ‘Oh, by the way, I’ll still be calling you today so please stop ignoring my calls and messages?’
“Hmm, alright..” Kyuhyun yawned.
'I’ll hang up now so you can rest.’
His eyes were really heavy and he can’t speak clearly. Kyuhyun can only give out a muffled ‘yes’ and ‘bye’ before hanging up. Despite the not-so-good start of a conversation they had at first, Kyuhyun’s night - or rather early morning, ended well. He sends a short message to Siwon before finally retiring to sleep.
"hyung, I lied. I really miss you. REALLY REALLY miss youㅠ.ㅠ”
After reading Kyuhyun’s message, Siwon wasn’t able to sleep. He went straight to his schedules with dark circles under his eyes, looking tired and sick. But he felt fine. He was eager to do well and then finish all his schedules in China so that at least, maybe, he could come home to his Kyuhyun for one day.
