031. Midnight Walks
“Yeah I know that. But can’t we?” Ryeowook asked putting down his sheet music and looked at Siwon with all eyes.
“It’s really late though.” Siwon frowned a little but looked away once Ryeowook had on his pleading puppy like eyes, “Okay then. Only for an hour though.”
“Yay~!” Ryeowook shouted out in happiness and walked out the door with Siwon following him slowly.
After Ryeowook opened the door both of them poked their heads out to see if there were fans guarding the outside of their dorm like they always did. Hopefully the fans wouldn’t camp out in front of the gates like that. It was dangerous for girls to be out this late and camping out in front of the dorm is also as dangerous. But as usual the fans were out there.
“What are we going to do now?” Ryeowook asked Siwon.
“I guess we can’t go for a walk today.” Siwon said as he started to walk off but Ryeowook caught the back of his shirt.
“Hyung~” Ryeowook said with a little whiny sound to his voice.
“But what am I supposed to do about that?” Siwon asked.
“I don’t know. You can figure something out. Can’t you?” Ryeowook asked.
Siwon frowned once again and looked out at the fans that were waiting outside.
Ryeowook stared at Siwon and waited for him to say something.
“Wait, what’s Hankyung hyung doing?” Siwon asked Ryeowook as he pointed at Hankyung who was walking out of the building and towards the fans.
“I think he’s telling the fans something.” Ryeowook said as he strained to hear what Hankyung was talking about with the fans but then after a few seconds of talking the fans started leaving one at a time. “It looks like he told the fans to go back home.”
“Your right.” Siwon said as he watched Hankyung’s actions.
Ryeowook slowly looked out toward the street and saw many fans get into cars and drive off. It seems like Hankyung was waiting to see that everyone was gone until he went inside.
Once all the fans were gone Hankyung turned around and gave a small smile along with a wink. It didn’t even seem like a wink though. Depending on how you looked at it, the wink seemed like just a blink. Since Hankyung looked away in ½ a second it seemed as if all he was doing was turning his head. Ryeowook took note of it but he thought nothing of it.
“Hankyung Hyung is gone.” Ryeowook said grabbing Siwon’s hand to follow him, “Let’s go.”
------------------
“Ahh~ This is nice.” Ryeowook said smiling as he reached a nearby park, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a nice walk without anything to bother me.”
Siwon nodded, “Me too.”
Ryeowook walked over and sat down on the swings. He stared to swing himself slowly back and forth.
Siwon watched Ryeowook swing back and forth on the swings, “Are you happy?” Siwon asked smiling.
Ryeowook looked up smiling, “Of course I am.”
Siwon nodded and sat down next to Ryeowook in another swing, “You know you shouldn’t keep doing this.”
Ryeowook looked at Siwon and nodded, “I know but seeing as how we’re so busy and everything we hardly ever get any free time to ourselves. And when we do get free time it’s usually spent in the house playing around with games. We can’t get any fresh air because the fans are right in front of our hostel.”
Siwon made another face but this one was mixed with frustration and understanding, “But still. It’s dangerous to go out like this. You always go out around midnight to buy food or to get just a walk.”
“That’s because it’s the only time that I’m not noticed as much. If I were to go out in broad daylight then there would be a ton of people hanging all over me.” Ryeowook said.
Siwon nodded, “I guess so. But you should still have someone with you.”
“I’m already 22 I’m not a kid anymore.” Ryeowook stated with a little pouty face.
“Oh, that’s right. I forgot.” Siwon said with a little laugh.
Ryeowook pouted once again after a few seconds his face became bright and un-pouty again, “Hyung, do you know what today is?”
Siwon shook his head, “No what’s today?”
“Do you really not know what today is?” Ryeowook asked. He felt hurt, today was one of the most important days of his life. He thought that all the members knew it was his birthday but he wasn’t to sure now.
“Why what’s today?” Siwon asked.
“No, it’s nothing.” Ryeowook said as he got up off the swing. “We should start heading home now.”
------------------
“SURPRISE!”
Ryeowook jumped away from the door out of fright, “What is this?”
Donghae, Kyuhyun, Zhoumi, Hankyung, and Henry were lined up almost shoulder to shoulder. Every one of them had a noise maker either in their mouth or in their hand except for Zhoumi who was holding a cake up. All of them had hats on their heads as well to give it more of a party feel. Behind them there were streamers put up and balloons were put up as well. All of them were singing happy birthday to Ryeowook. They each sang in various languages. Zhoumi and Hankyung sang in Chinese, Kyuhyun, Donghae, and Siwon sang in Korean and Henry sang in English.
“It’s a surprise party for you.” Siwon said from somewhere behind Ryeowook once the singing was over.
“Wait so you did know what today was.” Ryeowook stated.
“Now could he not know?” Hankyung asked with a smile.
“How could anyone not know?” Kyuhyun stated smiling.
Zhoumi who was holding a small cake smiled that bright smile of his and said, “Here’s your cake.”
Henry joined in with the smiling and said happily, “Blow out the candles!”
Ryeowook smiled and blew out the candles. His eyes were a little teary because he thought that no one knew that it was his birthday today. He felt so touched that he nearly cried out loud.
“Happy Birthday Ryeowook~!” Everyone shouted as everyone threw confetti in the air.
“Speech! Speech! Speech!” Donghae shouted loudly.
Everyone became quiet for the moment and Ryeowook opened his mouth to talk, “Everyone, thank you for your gifts and for throwing me this party. I’m so happy that everyone remembers that it was my birthday. It’s been almost 3 years since we’ve debuted together and it’s been only 2-3 months of our debut in China with Zhoumi and Henry. We’ve come a long way. Thanks for letting me lean on you. Thanks for always being there for me.” In the middle of his speech the tears he had started flowing down his cheeks, “Thank you so much.”
“Awww.” Everyone said as they ran forward and hugged Ryeowook one by one.
Around all the commotion Ryeowook heard all of them teasing him for crying and were all wishing him happy birthday.
“Happy Birthday Ryeowook!”
(Our Ryeowook’s birthday is today! I’m so happy for him! He’s 21 years old. I know in the fic I wrote 22 the reason why I did is because he’s 22 in Korean/Chinese age. But over here in America he’s 21. He’s growing up so well (he’s not even my son but it feels like I’m talking to him like my son, huh?). He’s becoming more mature, sexy, handsome, and wonderful. Keep up the good work and work hard, our Ryeowook, alright? I love you Ryeowook~!)
