Summary: Super Junior decide to surprise Henry on his birthday with a movie night - films in English only! In hindsight, though, sending Donghae to the DVD store might have been a bad idea... Cracky bandfic, oneshot.
Disclaimer: I don't own Super Junior or any of the films mentioned

Henry hadn’t wanted to make a big deal out of his birthday - he knew how much pressure everyone was under at the moment. So when Leeteuk had asked him a couple of weeks ago if there was anything special he wanted to do, he’d replied, “No, it’s fine, we can just watch a movie or something.”
But then again, Super Junior don’t do anything by half measures.
---
Everyone cheered as he entered - “Henli! I missed you!”
“Long time no see!”
“Happy birthday!”
He grinned at them all, before his gaze fell on the pile of DVDs in the centre of the room. And the five piles surrounding them. And the bags beside the wall, all full of more DVDs. All of which had very familiar, English titles.
His jaw dropped, and Leeteuk laughed beside him. “Well, you said you wanted to watch a movie, so we thought we could watch something in English - lately we only seem to watch Korean dramas, so we thought it'd be a nice change for you!"
Henry smiled, though that still didn't explain why the room had been turned into a mini movie store - he was pretty sure all the members put together didn't own this many DVDs! He was about to ask, when Donghae piped up, "I found this huge shop that rents out English DVDs a few blocks away! Do you think I got enough?"
Ah. That explained it.
He had to laugh, "Yeah, this should be fine!"
"What are we watching?" asked Sungmin excitedly.
“Um...” Henry looked around helplessly at the hundreds of titles to choose from, “I don’t know. Everyone look and see if there’s anything you want to watch, I don’t really mind - anything but Titanic.”
He counted seven annoyed faces at that last remark.
---
Five minutes later, he’d firmly decided this had been a Bad Idea. All the members were shouting suggestions at once, the floor had pretty much disappeared underneath the sea of discs, and he had no idea what to watch.
“Look at this!” shouted Leeteuk, holding out a copy of Elf. “We have to watch it, it’d be like insulting our fans if we didn’t!”
“No hyung, I’ve seen it and it’s not that great -” Henry tried to reply, but he was interrupted almost immediately by Heechul.
“Siwon, we are NOT watching The Passion of the Christ!” he was saying indignantly.
In another corner, Ryeowook was intently trying to read the back of Brokeback Mountain. He looked up, and on catching Henry’s eye, held it out, asking, “Is this one of those cowboys and Indians films?”
“WE ARE WATCHING THIS!” yelled Donghae, clutching a copy of Finding Nemo and practically bouncing off the sofa. Beside him, Eunhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
“Oh yeah? I think we should watch... um...” he paused, and hunted through a couple of disks beside him until he came across King Kong, “this!”
Kyuhyun laughed. “You’re a skinny monkey, not an overgrown gorilla. So you wouldn’t win the bet anyway.” Eunhyuk and Donghae both stared at him, wondering how he knew about that, until they were distracted by Sungmin.
“Look!” he cooed, holding up 101 Dalmatians. “They’re so cute!”
At the other side of the room, Hankyung turned to Zhou Mi with a rather helpless look on his face. “It doesn’t really matter,” he sighed. “It’s not like I’ll be able to understand the Korean subtitles anyway.”
Zhou Mi stared. “Gege, you speak Korean perfectly well. I mean, you’ve lived here longer than me and I get along fine...” he trailed off when he saw the look on his leader’s face.
“Normal conversation is fine. Anything you’d hear in a film?” Hankyung looked almost annoyed, though slightly amused. “Heechul’s taught me a lot of Korean slang. And none of it’s right.”
Meanwhile, Henry was fast losing the will to live. It was his birthday, dammit, why was he getting a headache from it - and why had he just seen the cover of Camp Rock?!
“I have an idea!” he shouted. “Why don’t we watch two films, something with a bit of action then something funny?” There were general noises of assent from all round, then Kibum spoke up.
“How about this?” he asked, holding up a copy of Die Hard. “I’ve seen it before, it’s pretty good.”
Henry was about to agree enthusiastically - because really, that was the first sensible suggestion they’d had - when Donghae found National Treasure.
“We’ve seen that about ten times already!” Kangin exclaimed, “No!”
“But it’s Nicholas Cage!” Donghae pouted. “He’s a legend!”
“Oh, I haven’t seen Star Wars in ages!” yelled Kyuhyun, upon finding the box set in the bottom of one of the bags.
The clamour was starting up again in full force, as Shindong discovered a copy of GI Joe -“Look, Lee Byunghun’s in this one!” For a moment, they considered this, then Henry noticed Yesung staring at the cover of Memoirs of a Geisha with an almost confused look on his face.
“What’s wrong, hyung?” Henry inquired, almost afraid of the answer.
“It’s like her lips are just floating there,” replied Yesung, poking the box just above aforementioned lips. “You can’t even see her philtrum! It’s so weird.”
Henry mentally facepalmed.
---
After about ten more minutes of shouting suggestions back and forth, they somehow ended up watching the American remake of The Ring. Henry for one had no idea why they were watching it - for one thing, there was also a Korean version, and besides, he was fairly sure most of them had already seen it! He wasn’t about to complain if they were finally agreeing, though.
At first, it went fairly well, and most of the members seemed to be happy enough with the film choice. Then it came to the part with the cursed videotape.
Dead silence apart from the static onscreen. A few random images, vaguely creepy. Then some sort of tongue...
“AHHHH KUIXIAN DID YOU SEE THAT?!” Zhou Mi shrieked, making Donghae squawk in fright and almost topple off the sofa, and causing Ryeowook to spill his popcorn into the sea of DVDs on the floor. Kyuhyun looked down at his lap, where a Zhou Mi shaped lump had suddenly appeared, and rolled his eyes.
“Actually, yes, I did see it. I was watching the film and it was kind of hard to mi-OWW!” The end of Kyuhyun’s sarcastic reply was lost in a cry of pain - this time, it was Eunhyuk who almost fell off the sofa.
Sungmin, eyes impossibly wide, looked round apologetically. Upon realising it was neither a crazed demon child nor the Chinese man on top of him that had latched onto his arm with the strength of a pair of steel pincers, Kyuhyun turned his glare on Sungmin.
“Centipede,” he said simply, and released Kyuhyun’s arm, turning back to the film, as Zhou Mi sat back down on Kyuhyun’s other side and Yesung put Ddang Ko Ma back in his tank for safety (When did he even bring him out? Henry wondered. And was Heebum always here?).
Somehow, they managed to watch the rest of the movie without too much drama, but just as the credits were rolling, the phone rang. There was silence for a moment, before Kibum rolled his eyes and picked it up.
“Seven days,” whispered the voice on the line. There was a pause.
“MY FACE IS TOO BEAUTIFUL TO GET DEFORMED BY SOME CURSED CHILD WITH ABANDONMENT ISSUES!” Heechul shrieked, storming out of the room. A moment later, raucous laughter could be heard from the kitchen - where Kangin had disappeared to moments before the film ended, to ‘get a drink’.
Heechul stormed back in.
“You,” he hissed, glaring at Kangin, who had just re-entered the room. “No one threatens Kim Heechul’s good looks and gets away with it!” He paused for a moment.
“This means I get to pick the next film,” he decided, still glaring fiercely at Kangin, who knew immediately he wasn’t going to like what was coming next. Stalking over to a fairly large heap of DVDs beside Siwon, he found one he’d had his eye on for a while.
“We’re watching this,” he announced, picking up a copy of Mean Girls with a flourish. “Someone told me the characters in this were practically based on me. I need to watch it to see if that’s true! But then, there’s no way some American girls could match the wit of Kim Heechul, so I doubt it.” Henry felt his heart sink.
Apparently, Leeteuk wasn’t happy with this either. “I still want to watch Elf! In honour of our fans!” he said, levelling Heechul with a glare that most sane people wouldn’t have dared direct at him.
Heechul just scoffed. “Don’t think you can pull the leader card on me. In fact, as your noona, you should be respecting me.”
Leeteuk was at a complete loss for words for approximately 2.5 seconds following that statement, but eventually he managed to sputter, “I’m older than you! You -”
“And I’m not a woman,” Heechul interrupted, “It doesn’t make me any less your noona.” With that, he crossed to the DVD player and put in the disc.
“Do we really have to, hyung?” Henry burst out. “It would hurt my masculine pride a whole lot less if we watched something like Borat, or even Pirates of the Caribbean!”
Shindong nodded in agreement. “Yeah! I thought that one looked good too,” he said, pointing to Big Momma’s House - but several of the other members were looking at Henry a bit incredulously.
“Masculine pride?” asked Kyuhyun, smirking. “I think we can safely say you lost that when you kissed Heechul. Onstage.”
Henry winced a little at the memory - sometimes, it was difficult to be one of the straightest in the group - and Sungmin, beside him, muttered, “Don’t worry. I feel your pain.” Heechul just laughed and pressed play. Henry sighed, and resigned himself to an hour and a half of mindless girly drama. He should have just let them watch Titanic.
