Summary: In which Donghae’s convinced Hyukjae is from outer space
It was a Friday when Donghae first noticed Hyukjae had changed.
Donghae was on his way home from filming on a TV show when he decided to go to a convenient store. His throat had been tickling during shooting, so he decided to pick up some cough drops. On his way to pay he noticed strawberry milk and instantly thought of Hyukjae, so he bought 2 hoping to share them when he got home.
But when he offered the drink to Hyukjae he refused, stating he didn’t feel like milk and drank water instead; which is crazy because Hyukjae never turns down strawberry milk, especially when it’s free. Donghae tried to let it go, but it bothered him, so much so that he had a dream that Hyukjae gave up strawberry milk and they discontinued making it because Hyukjae was the main consumer of the product, and so all strawberry milk makers went out of business. Donghae knows his dream was absurd but it was still scary to have to live in a strawberry milk free world with an undisturbed Hyukjae.
It was a Saturday when Donghae knew Hyukjae was different.
Donghae was feeling a little weird after his dream last night so he went to find Hyukjae; he always made Donghae feel better after a nightmare. Even though Hyukjae joked about only being colleagues with Donghae, Hyukjae always comforted him when he needed it. And he stressed the only when needed part; because if it was whenever Donghae wanted it Hyukjae would never be able to do anything, because Donghae always wanted to be comforted.
When Donghae found Hyukjae and used his puppy-eyed irresistible pout Hyukjae told him he couldn’t comfort him because he was busy. Donghae wasn’t selfish, well not so selfish that if Hyukjae was busy he wouldn’t wait for him to get done, and then let Hyukjae comfort him. But Hyukjae wasn’t busy, he was surfing the web, looking at IU videos. Needless to say Donghae was pissed, he hated to be ignored, hated it. So Donghae exited Hyukjae’s room, slamming the door, to search for the next person who would always listen to him, well actually the third, because Kagin was sill at the military, Leetuek.
Leetuek actually was busy dealing with a problem, a problem called Heechul. So he went to the next person he knew would listen to him, a certain turtle loving man, Yesung. But when Donghae walked into Yesung’s room and saw said man lovingly cooing over his turtle, Donghae decided that now was not the time to disturb them, so he slowly retreated shutting the door quietly behind him. Donghae was thinking about whom else would comfort him when he saw Hyukjae enter the kitchen, so he followed him to confront him. Sungmin was in the kitchen and when Donghae entered he overheard him ask Hyukjae if he wanted the last strawberry milk, to which he refused.
Donghae’s head was about to implode; Hyukjae, the Hyukjae had actually refused strawberry milk twice in a row. Donghae was standing there with his mouth open, and hadn’t even realized Hyukjae had left until after Sungmin had asked him if he wanted the milk, which he took, and told him he had to go because he was filming a show. Donghae desperately needed to talk to someone, because at this very moment he feels like the bottom had just dropped off his reality. He turned around and saw Siwon, yeah Siwon would help. So Donghae spent the 15 minutes telling Siwon about the 2, count them 2 times Hyukjae refused strawberry milk, and how he wouldn’t comfort Donghae this morning. Siwon was failing to see the “Catastrophe” as Donghae had labeled it, so Donghae spent another 20 minutes trying to explain it to him. After Siwon said he still didn’t see what the big deal was after the third time Donghae had explained it, Donghae told Siwon to forget about it and walked away thinking the chocolate abed man must have a mental disorder. How couldn’t Siwon see there was something different about Hyukjae? So Donghae spent the rest of the night thinking about how he didn’t like this new Hyukjae and how Siwon was an idiot. He fell asleep and dreamed about how Hyukjae was abducted by aliens and they used his body to conduct some sort of experiment to determine if Earth was habitable.
It was a Sunday when Donghae had an epiphany; Hyukjae switched bodies with an alien.
Yes, that had to be it, Hyukjae was actually an alien, it explained everything, the twice refusal of strawberry milk, and the ignoring of Donghae even after Donghae use the irresistible pout. Come on, no human could resist his pout, it wasn’t possible, Hyukjae had to be an alien. So Donghae called an emergency family meeting minus one “Hyukjae”.
He informed everyone about his discovery, and he didn’t receive the response he had expected. Heechul and Kyuhyun told him he was an idiot after laughing their asses off. Hankyung, Ryeowook, and Sungmin looked concerned and asked if Donghae was sick or getting enough sleep; to which he informed them he was a perfectly healthy young man and was getting plenty of sleep. Shindong was more concerned that there were no snacks at a family meeting, and Siwon just face palmed himself. While Leetuek told Donghae that he wasn’t allowed to have sweets before bed anymore, and Yesung was the only one who believed him. Great, what were a fish and a turtle going to do against an army of evil aliens? The rest of the day was spent talking extensively with Yesung about alien invasions and possible ways to prevent them from being abducted. Donghae went to sleep that night dreaming about an alien abduction and a Super Junior army trying to fight them off.
It was a Monday when Donghae found out the truth about Hyukjae.
Donghae had woken up depressed and feeling sick, his usual smile was nowhere to be seen. He dragged his feet to the kitchen table after getting himself a glass of water and plopped himself down in a chair with a sigh. Being away from Hyukjae for 3 days was really taking a toll on him. Donghae sighed again, and was started when he heard the voice of the person he was just thinking about.
“I’ve been standing here for like a minute and you’ve sighed like 6 times” Hyukjae said “what’s wrong?” he asks. Donghae contemplated telling him. He was an alien, would he even care? Well he did ask.
“I miss my Hyukie” Donghae said sadly.
“I’m standing right here Hae” Hyukjae retorted.
“No you’re an alien” Donghae said like it was a well know fact “My Hyukie would never refuse strawberry milk, twice I might add, and my Hyukie would never have ignored me, especially since I used my fail proof pout” Donghae finished.
“And that’s why you think I’m an alien?” Hyukjae asked.
Donghae sighed than said “Yes”
“Well there’s a perfectly good explanation and it doesn’t involve me being an alien” Hyukjae said.
“Really?” Donghae asked hopeful.
“Yes Hae. You see Friday night my throat started to hurt, and you know how they say when you’re throat hurts not to drink dairy?” Hyukjae asked.
“Yes” Donghae replied.
“And then you came home and offered me strawberry milk and as hard as it was to say I didn’t want it, I had to so I would get better faster” Hyukjae informed Donghae.
“Okay, that explains the milk, but what about on Saturday when you ignored me, and I even use the look” Donghae wined, still a bit skeptical that this Hyukjae was his Hyukjae.
“Well that…that was actually the hardest the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Because you know when you said your throat tickled? I didn’t want you to get sick, so I had to avoid you” Hyukjae said “because every time I’m around you I want to kiss you” he added.
“Thank God” Donghae yelled “because I don’t know what I would have done if my Hyukie was abducted by aliens”
“Don’t worry Hae, if I ever get abducted by aliens I’ll make sure you get to come along too” Hyukjae said as he went in to kiss Donghae. But Donghae held his hand up to his mouth.
“Sorry Hyukie but we can’t kiss” Donghae said.
“Why?” Hyukjae pouted.
“Because my throat is soar, and just like you protected me I’m going to protect you” Donghae said while walking back to his room.
“But I don’t want to be protected” Hyukjae yelled at Donghae’s retreating back.
It was a Tuesday when Hyukjae realized being without Donghae made him do crazy things.
And if Heechul asks he is NOT hiding in the closet.
