Arc I Arc II
They were having lunch while waiting for their event. Shindong was happy that they were having take out. He shuddered remembering his horror when he saw Eeteuk-hyung in the kitchen in the morning. Shindong wondered why Eeteuk was making breakfast.
Eeteuk looked around him as he ate. They were sitting in a circle. Today was quiet, like last night’s dinner. Eeteuk spotted Kibum and Sungmin nodding off after they had finished their food. Eeteuk knew that they had a rough night, considering the way he found them in the morning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eeteuk walked into the kitchen, wondering why there wasn’t any aroma coming from it. When it was empty, Eeteuk was even more puzzled. Where’s Hannie? Is he still asleep? But usually he’s awake by the time I wake up. Oh no. Is he sick? No. That’s not good. Eeteuk rushed to Hankyung’s room, concerned. He opened the door.
“Hannie?”
The room was empty. Where is he? Eeteuk looked around, trying to see if Hankyung was hiding at some dark corner in the room. Maybe he’s in the toilet. Yup. That’s right. Eeteuk left the room and headed for the toilet. But it was empty as well. Eeteuk panicked. He opened the first door to the room. It was Donghae’s room.
“Hae, is Hannie he…” Eeteuk trailed off as he saw the image in front of him. Where’s my camera? Eeteuk ran towards his room and grabbed his camera and ran back to Donghae’s room. He snapped a photo. Eeteuk squealed inwardly to himself. So cute!
Hankyung was lying on a blanket on his left side, which was placed on the floor, using his arm as a pillow. His right arm was draped over Kibum and holding onto Donghae’s hand. Donghae was on the other side of Kibum, mimicking Hankyung’s actions. They cocooned Kibum between them, protecting him from the world. Kibum’s head was tilted towards Donghae, almost burying into Donghae’s chest, with his right hand grasping Hankyung’s shirt.
On the bed, Heechul and Sungmin slept, facing each other. Eeteuk could not decide if Heechul was comforting Sungmin or the other way round. It seemed more like Sungmin was providing solace for Heechul. Heechul was curled up, burrowing himself into the arms of Sungmin. Sungmin kept a hand on Heechul’s head, as if he had been patting him through the night.
Eeteuk wondered what had happened. It was not atypical for the members to seek comfort from each other, but it was more common to find two people sleeping rather than five in a room. It must have been something really traumatic. Eeteuk was not upset that they did not tell him. In fact, he was glad that they found reassurance from each other. But Eeteuk cannot deny that he was curious as to what happened. The whole situation looked out of the norm. It was unusual to see Heechul seeking solace from someone, even during his recovery from the car accident, Heechul seldom let himself be weak in front of others.
The five looked like they needed their sleep. Eeteuk wanted to grant it to them, but he could not. They had an event later that afternoon, and it was almost time for them to get ready to head down for rehearsal. Slowly and quietly, Eeteuk made his way to Hankyung.
“Hannie, Kibummie, Hae. It’s time to wake up.”
Kibum being a light sleeper opened his eyes first.
“Teukie-hyung?”
Eeteuk nodded. “We have to prepare for the show in the afternoon. You need to wake up now.”
Kibum nodded and proceeded to wake his hyungs.
Eeteuk, satisfied that Kibum would wake the other two, went to the bed.
“Sungminnie, Chullie, wake up.”
Heechul shook his head and buried it even further into Sungmin’s chest.
“Chullie, you have to wake up now. We have an event later.”
Heechul groaned and extracted himself from Sungmin’s arms.
“Do I have to, Teukie?”
Eeteuk nodded. Heechul pouted as he got off the bed, waking Sungmin up in the process.
Eeteuk stood up, glad that all five had woken up.
I shall go prepare breakfast now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What Eeteuk didn’t understand was why Ryeowook was nodding off on Siwon’s shoulder. Yesung was staring anxiously at Ryeowook, wondering what was wrong.
“Wookie ah, did you sleep well last night?”
Ryeowook didn’t react to Eeteuk’s question.
“Wookie? Hyung is asking a question.” Yesung gently shook Ryeowook. He exchanged a look with Siwon.
Ryeowook lifted his head tiredly and rubbed his eyes.
“Huh?”
“Ryeowook ah, are you okay?”
By then, Kibum and Sungmin were also looking at Ryeowook with concern in their eyes.
“I’m fine. I’m just sleepy.”
“But you went to bed quite early last night.” Yesung said, now really concerned.
Ryeowook kept silent, thinking whether he should tell them about Kyuhyun’s phone call. The call had him very worried about what happened. It was not like Kyuhyun to show his fear. Something must have scared him a lot for the fear to let it seep through his voice. Usually it took them a day of interaction with Kyuhyun to figure out that something had scared him. The request that Kyuhyun made frightened Ryeowook even more, despite being pleased that Kyuhyun called him for comfort. Kyuhyun never voluntarily sought out people for comfort and never asked anyone to sing to him. These thoughts kept Ryeowook awake for most of the night.
“Ryeowook?” Eeteuk asked again, after a long silence.
“Kyuhyun called.”
“What’s wrong? Did something happen to him? What happened? Oh no. We should go see him. But the event is going to start soon. What should we do?” Eeteuk immediately thought pessimistically.
Kangin covered Eeteuk’s mouth. “Teukie, let Ryeowook finish talking.”
“He sounded scared. He asked me to sing a song for him. After I finished the song, he mumbled a thank you sleepily and hung up. I didn’t manage to get an explanation. It was really not like Kyu to ask people to sing a song to him. It kept me awake the whole night.” Ryeowook explained distressed. He really had no idea what happened.
The five exchanged quick looks at each other. It must have been that conversation.
Eeteuk chewed on his lips. All of them knew that it was not Kyuhyun to let his hyungs worry. He wondered if Kyuhyun’s call had anything to do with why he found the five in the same room that morning. Looks like I’d have to find out the reason from those five.
“It’s time.” One of the assistants called out, signalling the end of the conversation.
Eeteuk clapped his hands. “Okay. Let’s do our best for the performance!”
The members got the message that right now they should concentrate for the event and put the conversation behind their minds first. It was not that they should forget that the conversation occurred, but to concentrate on their performance first. They nodded and shouted in a circle.
“Super Junior fighting!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kyuhyun sat on his bed, flipping through the album Donghae had left for him. Kyuhyun laughed and smiled at the various photos that Donghae took. The decorations were the first thing Kyuhyun saw. I think I can guess who did the decorations. He gaped at the amount of food that was cooked. It must have been by Hankyung-hyung. The various candid photos brought smiles to Kyuhyun’s face - Kangin being smacked with cream from Eunhyuk, then the chase began, Ryeowook with some chocolate cream stuck on his nose. There were also a few self portraits by Donghae, taking with various other members.
But the one that Kyuhyun loved the most was the group photo. Everyone had piled into the living room and gathered around the sofa. Eeteuk was sitting in the middle with Kangin and Heechul on either side. Heechul and Kangin both had an arm draped over Eeteuk’s shoulder, smiling at the camera. Eeteuk had the widest smile that Kyuhyun had ever saw. He could tell the Eeteuk was really glad to be home. Siwon sat on the arm rest next to Heechul while Shindong sat on the other. Shindong still held food in his hand. Ryeowook stood behind Eeteuk, bending down to place his head near Eeteuk’s. Yesung stood to the left of him, his shoulders touching Ryeowook. Kibum stood on the other side, his hand placed on Ryeowook’s shoulder. Hankyung was next to him, smiling brightly with his hand messing Kibum’s hair, causing Kibum to glance at him. Sungmin was next to Yesung. Eunhyuk had both him and Donghae in a headlock. They were all smiling cheekily.
Below the photo, there was a hand written message from Donghae.
‘This is not complete. We’ll be waiting for you. - Hae’
A fish was drawn next to his name.
Kyuhyun nodded to himself. Hyung, please wait for me. I promise I’ll be there.
A knock on the door brought him out of his thoughts.
“Come in.”
“Young Master?”
“Yes?”
“I have a family emergency. Can I go home for the week or two?”
Kyuhyun looked up at Mdm Kim. She had a worried look on her face. Kyuhyun stood up slowly.
“Of course you can. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” Kyuhyun reassured Mdm Kim, knowing exactly what she was worried about.
“Are you sure? Or do you want to call your friends? I don’t want you to be alone. You’re still recovering.”
Kyuhyun shook his head. “I’ll be fine. Really. You don’t have to worry.” Kyuhyun pushed Mdm Kim out the door. “Go and pack and head home. They need you more.”
Mdm Kim was unable to protest as she really needed to go home.
Kyuhyun stood by the main door, sending Mdm Kim off.
“You take care of yourself, Young Master. Call me or your friends if you need help.” Mdm Kim gave one last message to Kyuhyun before picking up her luggage.
Kyuhyun waved as Mdm Kim looked back one last time before disappearing from view. Kyuhyun dropped his hand and closed the door.
I hope that her family is okay.
