I Finished my Third Fanfic (ya me!)
Henry spent the beginning of the car ride home very nervous and mentally berating himself and cursing his friend for ever sparking the idea in him. Stupid, stupid, stupid idiot. Ok think you need to fix this. Just think!!! As Henry was in the back seat thinking furiously how to get out of this mess. Han Geng and Siwon were talking in low tones so Henry could not hear. “Are you ok hyung?” “I’m fine,” Geng said curtly. “The vain on your neck is saying something different.” “What?” Han Geng said confused then started to chuckling when he saw Siwon’s mischievous smile.
flashback:
“Ok the last thing is olive oil. Henli can you get that and then we can go?” Han Geng said as Siwon was returning with the cabbage. “Don’t hyung I’ll …” Siwon started to say but Henry was already gone. “Argh!! Why did you do that?” asked Siwon with a frustrated grumble. “What it’s just the last thing we need to get.” “Yah but now it’s going to take use another hour to get out of here.” “Don’t exaggerate Siwon it won’t be that bad.” Ten minutes later. “I wonder if he got lost again this store is pretty big.” Siwon just looked at Han Geng as if to say ‘come on hyung, you don’t even believe that’. Another five minutes past and Siwon had had enough. “I’ll go look for him,” Siwon said in a ‘I told you so tone’. That’s when the game began, at least it was a game to Henry and Han Geng knew it. He had spotted Henry a few isle down peeking every few minutes to see if Siwon had started looking for him yet. He saw the way Henry seem to start giggling when Siwon started his search in the other direction. “This is going to be trouble.” Eventually Siwon did start down the right isle, however, Henry saw Siwon coming and he grinned as he quickly scampered to the next isle. As he scurried from isle to isle Henry thought, “I wonder how long I can keep this up?” Henry lead Siwon on a ‘merry chase’ weaving in and out of the isles. At times Siwon got close enough that he could hear Henry giggling as he ran out of sight again. This frustrated and annoyed Siwon to no end. Han Geng understood what was going on and wondered if he should clue Siwon in as he passed him every once in a while during his search for Henry. However, Geng decided against it opting to observe. For about five minutes, Siwon completely lost Henry when he made a bathroom break. Henry was surprised that the game had lasted this long a full twenty minutes. He was really enjoying himself but all good things must come to an end. Henry figured he was making it too hard for Siwon so he decide to walk through the fruit and vegetables section since it was the most open area and he would easily be spotted. Henry was almost out of the section when he saw them. “Lychee fruit!” Henry squealed. Both Siwon and Han Geng were with in earshot of his excited squeal. “Henli stay right there, “ Siwon called as he and Geng made their way over to Henry. Siwon more quickly than Han Geng he was fully expecting that Henry was going to run off again. As they caught up with Henry he turned to Geng and said sweetly, “Here’s the olive oil, gege.” “Yah!” Siwon said when Henry had not looked at him. “Didn’t you see me looking for you?” “Sorry hyung I didn’t notice,” Henry said every inch the innocent and slightly confused dongsaeng. “Were you looking long?” Henry asked curious as to how Siwon would react and he was not disappointed. “But you … giggles … URH!!!” Siwon sputtered and nearly yelled at Henry in the middle of the store trying to express his anger and frustration. His eyebrows were dancing a jig and Henry was doing his best not to bust out laughing. Han Geng eventually come to Siwon’s rescue by simply saying, “Its time to go.” “Oh, ok gege,” Henry said happily he then turned and picked up a box of lychees placing them in the shopping cart. “Hey, what are you doing were not getting those,” Siwon said sharply. Han Geng had not even noticed that Henry had but yet more in the cart and at this point, he did not care. Henry started to pout and seeing that Siwon was not going to budge turned to Geng. “Pleeease gege I really really like lychees, pleease can we get them.” Han Geng looked at Henry and sighed heavily. Siwon could tell that Geng was about to give in yet again and Siwon was extremely annoyed and fed up. “Are you seriously going to let him after all of this hyung!?!” Siwon said exasperated. “B-but I wanna um,” whinned Henry stomping his feet just like an upset toddler. Both Siwon and Henry were now looking at Han Geng expectantly. One with an annoyed frown and the other with pleading puppy dog eyes and slightly pink puffy cheeks. Henry got the impression from Han Geng’s look that he might not be getting his way so he decided to up the ante. Henry in the middle of the fruit and veggies section through a small fit. “But I wanna um I wanna um!!” Henry whinned over and over with a scrunched up face as he stomped his feet jumping up and down and pulling on Geng’s arm. Siwon’s mouth fell open in shock. Han Geng sighed heavily again and then glared at Siwon as if to say ‘look what you did and you just upset the baby I’m not happy with you now’. “Henli, calm down calm down its ok you can get the lychees,” Han Geng said trying to shush Henry. Upon hearing this Henry brightened immediately. “Thank you gege,” Henry said loudly. “Urg! Fine lets just get out of here,” Siwon said in disgusted. Henry was extremely pleased with himself as they walked towards check out. And to be cheeky he stuck is tongue out at Siwon when Han Geng was not looking. Henry giggled when all Siwon did in response was to grunt in annoyance. As the boys were walking Henry in front the older two lagging behind to the car Han Geng, asked “Are you ok Siwon?” “I’m fine,” Siwon said shortly. “The vain over your eyebrow is saying something else,” Han Geng said smiling. “You do realize he’s playing with his hyung right.”
end flashback.
Han Geng continued to chuckle saying, “Ok I guess he was ‘playing’ with me as he was ‘playing’ with you.” In the backseat Henry was still very tense, however, he relaxed considerably and stopped berating himself when he hear Geng-ge’s soft chuckle. For the rest of the car ride Henry did keep very quiet and still not wanting to disturb the happy miracle that changed Geng-ge’s mood. Finally, Han Geng, Siwon and Henry arrived back at SJ-M dorm. Han Geng pulled into the garage saying as he parked, “Lets just get everything in the house.” Siwon nodded and quickly got out of the car. Henry was a lot slower not really wanting to get out of the car. “Henli hurry up and get out of there and help with the bags.” “Yes gege,” Henry said as he slowly picked up some bags and followed Siwon and Geng in. So is this being in trouble. There is no yelling no lecture what gives. I’m just given the silent treatment. What was I so scared of. Henry smiled secretly as he trailed behind Siwon and Geng with his head down.
In the dorm Mimi, Donghae, Wookie and Kyuhyun had been taking turns choosing different games to play to pass the time. It was Kyuhyun’s turn and they were playing a battle royal video game Donghae and Kyuhyun vs Mimi and Wookie. Round 3 red team you are the winner. “Yes! 2 to 1 we win!” Donghae yelled bouncy on the couch and high-fiving Kyuhyun. “Hey, we still have one more round we still could tie,” Wookie said. “Yah! It not over til round 4,” Mimi said. “Lets get round 4 started and well see who wins,” Kyuhyun said as he started the next round. At that moment Geng-ge, Siwon and Henry walked in the door leaden with grocery bags. Geng and Siwon were deep in conversation with a guilty looking Henry trailing behind them. When they got into the kitchen Mimi heard, Siwon say emphatically, “Never again hyung! Never!!” Henry quickly came back out face flushed. “Hey Henli what’s going on?” said Mimi curious. Henry froze on his way to the door, “Umm … I-I-I … maybe it would be better if you ask gege. I have to get more bags, byeee,” Henry said as he rushed out the door. “Ok that was a little weird Mimi said to himself but quickly forgot about it as he got back to the game. Kyuhyun, Donghae and Wookie had not even looked up so involved with battle that they were oblivious to Henry’s odd behavior. Outside the door, Henry leaned on the wall catching his breath from the mad dash from the dorm. “That was close its not like I could say Mimi-ge, Siwon-hyung is upset at the way I acted at the grocery store and refuses to go food shopping with me ever again.” The rest of the time spent bring in the bags was uneventful for the most part until there was only a few left. “Siwon with you start putting the food away there are only a few more bags left,” Han Geng said as he and Siwon were in the lobby coming in with bags and Henry was going out for more. “No problem hyung.” growl … Growl … GROWL “Oh I’m still hungry, I’m ready to eat,” Henry thought as he walked to the car for the last of the bags. “Yes only two bags left and one is the bag of lychees. Siwon-hyung left it in the front seat when he got out. Lucky!! What gege doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” Henry popped a lychee in his mouth and grabbed the last bags turning and chewing he suddenly froze. Not three meters behind him stood Han Geng. “What is in your mouth Henli?” Geng-ge asked with an edge to his voice, “Nothing gege.” Han Geng stepped forward and sniffed. Henry was still rooted to the spot wondering what his gege was doing. Very quickly, Geng-ge expression changed from mildly suspicious to extreme annoyance to anger. “Henli!!!” Han Geng said exasperated grabbing Henry by the ear and began dragging him inside. “I already told you could not have any and you disobeyed me twice. Since you insist on acting like a naughty child I’ll treat you like one.” “Ow!! Gege that hurts! Owwwieee!!!”
Back in the dorm. “Ha! we won,” Wookie said with glee. “You only tied with us,” Donghae said annoyed. Mimi looked at Kyuhyun a little surprised at his silence, “Aren’t you going to argue too?” Kyuhyun leaned close to Mimi’s ear and said, “I lost on purpose just to see this.” “Kyuhyun, you know your evil those two are very competitive with each other,” Mimi whispered back. kekeke Suddenly Mimi heard a weird noise a kind of commotion that got louder as it go closer. Then the noise came into view and Mimi saw something he never thought he would see. Geng-ge was dragging the baby by his ear towards the kitchen. Mimi’s jaw completely dropped in utter surprise. Wookie and Donghae were too bizzy arguing with their backs turned to notice eventhough Henry was whining and protesting the entire way. However, Mimi and Kyuhyun saw it all. Kyuhyun looked at Mimi with a raised eyebrow. “Shouldn’t we do something?” said Mimi greatly concerned. At that both Kyuhyun’s eyebrows shot up as he said, “Do you really want to interfere with Geng-hyung in angry umma mode?! I don’t think so.” “I see maybe it’s for the best.” “Were cowards aren’t we.” “Yup.”
In the kitchen, the atmosphere was icy to say the least. “Put those bags down go stand over there so I can keep an eye on you while I’m cooking,” Han Geng said as he let go of Henry’s ear. Henry was extremely embarrassed as rubbed his ear and did what Geng-ge told him to until he realize he was being sent to the corner like a little kid. “Gege you don’t really mean … that?” Henry asked as meekly as possible. “Now Henli, turn around and face the corner.” Henry’s shoulders slumped in defeat as he slowly did what he was told thinking, “I have been reduced to a five year old … just great.” Five or ten minutes past in relative quiet with Henry getting fidgety and restless and Geng starting dinner. This is humiliating. I can’t take this any more. Fine if gege is going to treat me like a five year old I’ll really going act like it. I don’t want to stand here anymore so … Aaah ah ah ah Aaah!!! Henry began to make the sounds of a crying five year old including occasional hiccups. He started low and got progressively louder however he did not move at all in the corner. At first Han Geng did not notice so engrossed was he in cooking enough food for seven healthy guys. Geng finally noticed that Henry was still in the kitchen with him and seemed to be bawling his heart out. From the living room, every member’s eyes were looking towards the kitchen. From their various positions some could see more than others could but all were wondering what on earth was going on, however, none dared to enter. They could see their leader standing and walking about preparing dinner and the baby with his nose in a corner arms behind his back holding his wrist like some naughty child. When Henry’s crying finally registered to Geng he felt a stab of guilt for leaving him there for so long. However, he was not sure exactly what to do because Henry was not moving just making a lot of noise. As for Henry he was thinking, “How long is gege going to let me scream like this and not do something?” Finally, after a couple seconds Geng snapped out of his guilt fog. “Henli calm down you don’t have to stand there any more.” But Henry did not seem to hear Geng and continued to scream cry. Geng sighed as he walked over and turned Henry around. He discovered Henry with a flushed face and red puffy cheeks. Henry had stopped immediately when Geng turned him but he looked so pitiful and was hiccupping too that it nearly broke Geng’s heart. Geng gathered Henry in his arms saying soothingly, “Its ok baby calm down its ok.” Henry held on to Geng resting his head on his shoulder slowing letting a smirk grow on his face as Geng soothed him. I win gege. A few minuets past of Geng soothing. “Do you want to lay down before dinner?” Geng said as he pulled back to looked at Henry’s face. “Umm … I-I-I can set the table for you gege,” Henry said stuttering slightly not looking Geng in the eye. “Ok, baby that would be a big help.” Henry giggled and smiled brightly at Geng. When the rest of the members heard Henry’s giggle everyone visibly relaxed and went back to what they were doing.
At dinner, everyone was acting normal but Henry was quieter for the most part until. “What are you humming Siwon?” Mimi asked. “Huh? … I didn’t know I was humming I don’t know … Oh its Henry’s little song,” Siwon said with a growing smile. Henry’s head shot up upon hearing this looking at Siwon with horror. “What’s the song?” Wookie asked curious. “Please hyung don’t,” Henry said trying to catch Siwon’s attention but he was ignoring him. “It’s something that Henry used to sing it when he was little,” Siwon said starting to chuckle. “Really … why?” Donghae asked getting curious too. “Pleeease hyung I’m begging you … don’t,” Henry said getting desperate. “Henli it’s cute,” Geng-ge said smiling. “B-b-but … gege!” “He used to sing it when he had to go and had to hold it,” Siwon said chuckling. Everyone started laughing and looking occasionally at Henry whose face was turning bright red as he tried his best to look invisible. “May I be excused gege,” Henry mumbled. “You have not finished yet.” “I’m not hungry anymore,” Henry mumbled. “Ok you may go.” Henry quickly left the dinning room walking to his shared room followed by the laughter from the table. “How did you know that,” Mimi asked as he tried to control his laughter. “He started singing it today in the car and …”
Epilogue:
ring ring … ring ring … ring ring
A mobile phone rang on a bed in the Super Junior dorm complex in Korea.
“Yoboseyo.” “Yoboseyo.” “Teukie-umma!” “Hannie how is everyone, how are you, how have member activities been?” “Everyone is fine for the most part.” “What is that suppose to mean. What’s wrong?” “Well that’s the reason I’m calling I need advice I don’t know what to do.” “What’s the problem honey you’re a leader now so what is the trouble.” “Well don’t take this the wrong way but the baby is the trouble.” “What Henli? He’s a very agreeable boy.” “ Usually but …” “Oh … keke … I think I know what you mean. He suddenly turned into a terrible brat didn’t he.” “How! … how did you know!” “I’m suju’s umma of course. And I remember that frustrated feeling. This is sj-m’s first brake isn’t it.” “Ya but what does that got to do with Henry.” “I don’t know if you remember back when we first debut with the twelve of us. Do you remember our first brake after promoting none stop?” “Ya it was about two weeks and I remember I went home in the middle of the first week.” “Ya well like a day after you went home we kinda had a small crisis.” “I do remember you and Kangin kinda looked more stressed then when I left. What happen?” “Well Kibum was the youngest then and well … lets just say we found out how good an actor he is.” “Huh?” “He turned from sweet quiet boy to full on terrible twos within 24hrs.” “What!? Kibummie you got to be pulling my leg.” “No I’m not joking, you didn’t see his transformation.” “You mean I understood Heechul correctly.” “Huh? Oh great what did Rella say?” “Well remember I got back two days before we started promotions again.” “Yah …” “Well Heechul dragged me into our shared bedroom right after I walked in. He told me to watch out for the magnae because he is being a trouble child. I just thought I misunderstood him.” “Kekeke for once Rella was not exaggerating. The brat showed himself several times until Kyuhyun joined us. Then he stopped for the most part.” “Omo this puts a lot of what I thought I was misunderstand in a very different light. How did you deal with him cause I just thought you babied him a lot.” “I eventually figured out he was mostly just bored and sometimes he just wanted some attention. So I learned to treat him the age he decided to be including curbing behavior when needed.” “Well I did do that … sort of … but then I just let it go.” “Sometimes that’s what you have to do its part of being a good leader. This maybe the most challenging week of your life. Henli is getting comfortable and testing his role in the group. He is seeing how far he can push each of you. He is being the youngest pushing boundaries, whining when he doesn’t get his way and generally being the spoiled baby of the group.” “Well at least he’s acting like a five year old and not a two year old.” “Kekeke” “Thanks umma you have helped me a lot.” “Anytime sweetie.”
