First Story- Chapter 2
Part one because the chapter is too long.
'Tell me, Tell me, Tell tell tell tell tell tell me....'
That was the first thing I heard the next morning. I slammed my hand down on the alarm clock, turning it off before I could consciouly comprehend what I was doing anyways. They seriously play that song too much.
Stumbling off the bed, I place a hand on my nightstand to balance myself as I stand up sleepily. Why did I decide to wake up at 6:00 AM today? Oh right, shower.....
Rubbing my left eye with my fist I drag myself to the bathroom. Pressing my other palm against the light switch, I turned the light on. We have those totally awesome light switches in our house, the ones that you can turn on by pressing your hand against them instead of having to use your fingers and flip them. Lazy mans paradise.......
Shutting the door, I turn on the hot water tap in the bath tub, taking off my clothes as I wait for the water to heat. Once the water was at the right temperature, I step into the bathtub and turn the water on, getting my hair soaked immediately. Closing my eyes and running a hand over my face, I slowly wake up as I breathe in and out. A thump alerts me to Umma being awake, since my little brother would be sleeping still. I wonder if that was my umma falling out of bed? Reaching for the shampoo, I pour some into my hand and lean out of the stream of water, so the water is hitting my lower back instead of my head. Massaging the shampoo into my hair and scratching my head at the same time, I become aware of sounds coming from the other side of the wall, where the kitchen is. Definately my mom thats awake. I take a breath and put my head underneath the stream and rinse the shampoo out of my hair, moving my hair so that it stops being plastered against my neck and upper shoulders. Blowing away the water thats starting to go in my mouth, I wipe the water away from my eyes and take the conditioner from its shelf. I put some in my hand and work it into my hair. Before rinsing the conditioner from my head, I pour some body wash onto my hand and spread it on my body, working it in. After I finish working the body wash in, I rinse the conditioner and the body wash off simultaniously. I step out of the shower after turning it off, wrapping a towel from under the sink around my waist, using another towel to dry off my hair and upper body.
I leave the bathroom, walking across the hall into my bedroom and take out my school uniform, a black pair of jeans and a white button up shirt, with a black and red jacket and a tie that matched the jacket. Putting the clothes on with my super-duper-awesome good luck alien boxers, I look in my mirror and comb out my hair, using the blow dryer that I stole from Heechul hyung, playing with it until its all nice and fluffly and awesome.
Doing a half run half jump motion (because guys do not skip; unless you are Sungmin hyung.) I go out into the kitchen, being greeted by Umma and Sungmin hyung, who were cooking.
The house that we moved into last week is Sungmin hyung's family's house, Sungmin's parents are gone for the next three months; being overseas in America to promote their business. My mom decided that we should move to Seoul until Sungmin hyung's parents get back, to keep my cousin safe and to help take care of himself. Personally, I think Umma wanted a break from Appa's drinking and their fights. Their relationship hasn't been the greatest for a while now.
"Donghae ah, you're going to the same school as me, I took a look at your schedule and we have some of the same classes. So you won't be entirely alone today!" Sungmin hyung said, a pink hairband holding his hair out of his face as he finishes packing some cookies that he baked in a container. Somehow, he had convinced the school to let him have a black and pink jacket and tie instead of the standard issue black and red. Sometimes Sungmin hyung's ability to get what he wants scares me as much as Heechul hyung.
"That's good." I reply, putting my head on the table as Umma puts breakfast in front of me and sits down across from me with her food. Sungmin hyung had left the room, taking his cookies with him.
I eat my breakfast quickly, trying not to choke as Umma watches amusedly.
"Why are you hurrying? You're never in a rush to get to school." Umma says, crossing her arms as she watches me eat.
"I don't like this house it's creepy!" I say, looking suspiciously around before adding in a whisper to myself, which of course, my Umma heard; "I swear the aliens know I'm here....."
"Aliens aren't out to get you Donghae!" Sungmin hyung exclaims, entering the room. "Now c'mon! I don't wanna be late today!"
"You won't be late though hyung. There's still thirty minutes before we need to be there and its a ten minute walk." I state, looking at Sungmin hyung, who was oddly flushed.
"Awww.......... Sungmin ah has a girlfriend!" Umma squeals, clasping her hands together.
"I do not. Girls are not my type." Sungmin hyung says quietly, turning around and walking out. "C'mon Donghae, I'll be waiting outside." He shouts as he leaves the house.
I probably would of choked on my food as what he just told Umma registered, if I hadn't been suspecting it ever since I walked into his room three years ago on a visit and found his room full of pink stuff, and as much hair and skin products as what Heechul hyung had. And Heechul hyung is definately gay, even though if you tell him that specifically, you won't wake up for another three hours and then you'lll wish you didn't. I found that out the hard way. Just thinking of it makes my head hurt again....
"I'm off now Umma. See you later." I say, standing up and grabbing my bag from beside my chair.
"Ok, have fun! And if you decide not to come home right way today, be sure to be home by six for supper." Umma says, I nod my head as I walk out of the kitchen and head down the hall, catching up with Sungmin.
"C'mon, let's go." Sungmin hyung said, starting off down the road to the bus stop, his hands in his pockets and watching the road for vehicles. I let out a long breath of air and look up into the blue sky.
We reach the bus stop and there were a few kids waiting around for the bus, all of them seemed to be from our school. I lean against a sign post and take out my mp3 player, that I stole from Heechul, since my Ipod got drowned in my fish tank, courtesy of my little brother, and Heechul figured out how to lock his Ipod so I couldn't use it. Obviously he didn't think about his spare mp3 player.
"Watcha listening to?" asked a guy standing beside me. I looked over at him and took one headphone out to hear him better.
"Moon Hee Jun." I reply, glancing at Sungmin hyung, who was chatting with some short, girlish looking guy. Nowhere near as girlish as Heechul hyung though. I can't wait for him to come here!
"Mmm, what song?" The guy asked again, looking over at Sungmin hyung and the other guy, both of whom seemed very interested in their conversation.
"Toy." I say, looking at the weird man with his hair half blonde and half black. He seemed to have recognized the song name.
"I love that song! You're new to the school aren't you? What's your name?" he asks, I smile at his eagerness.
"Lee Donghae." I reply, smiling at the boy.
"I'm Kim Jongwoon but my friends call me Yesung." he says, smiling and waving as Sungmin hyung and the boy he was talking to walk over.
"I see you've met Donghae, Yesung hyung." Sungmin hyung says, smiling at a guy that is walking towards the bus stop.
"Yeah, he's cool." Yesung says, wrapping an arm around the smaller man's shoulders.
"Ok then, Donghae, this is Ryeowook. Ryeowook, this is your hyung, Donghae." Sungmin hyung said, gesturing between me and Ryeowook.
"Aww.... is everyone older than me?" complained a tall guy, who seemed to pop out of nowhere. Sungmin hyung jumped and turned around to see the guy behind him.
"Jeez Kyuhyunnie! Don't scare me like that!" Sungmin scolded, clutching his chest in emphasis, making me and 'Kyuhyunnie' laugh.
"Sorry hyung. Nice nickname by the way. When did you come up with that?" 'Kyuhyunnie' asked, smirking slightly at Sungmin hyung, who blushed.
"Umm..... I don't know.... it just slipped out.... sorry!" Sungmin hyung stammered as I try not to laugh.
"Don't be Sungmin hyung, I like it." he replied, walking off as the bus arrives. Unable to hide my laughter anymore, I burst out laughing. As a result, Sungmin hyung hit me on the head.
"Oww...... my poor head! You'll regret that hyung!" I say, rubbing as we get on the bus. I sit down beside some guy who was staring out the window, with Sungmin sitting in the seat across from me, beside some girl who was trying to get his attention and failing miserably.
"How so?" Sungmin hyung retorted, crossing his arms, ignoring the girl as she pouts and gives up angrily.
"I'll get Heechul hyung on you!" I say, glaring at Sungmin hyung, still rubbing my head. A tap on my shoulder brings my attention to a guy sitting behind me.
"Did you just say Heechul? Do you mean Kim Heechul from Incheon?" said a man with a Chinese accent. I nod and the chinese man and the guy sitting beside him sit up straighter and look at me.
"You know Heechul hyung?" said the man beside the chinese one. He was tall, I could tell that, even though he was sitting, and he had thick eyebrows. Not like that Rock Lee kid from Naruto thick, but thick all the same.
"Yeah, umm..... who are you?" I ask, looking confusedly at them. I notice the guy I'm sitting beside turn his head slightly to look at me.
"I'm Han Geng, and this is Choi Siwon." Says the chinese man, gesturing gently to the tall me beside him.
"Han Geng? Aren't you the one that Heechul hyung calls Hankyung?" I ask, furrowing my brow and running my hand over my face. The guy beside me chuckles.
"Most people call him Hankyung because they have problems pronouncing his real name." said the guy beside me. He looks strong, not as strong as that Siwon guy, but he definately has muscle.
"Yeah, like you Eunhyuk." said Han Geng, smiling amusedly as 'Eunhyuk' stuck his tounge out. Cute.....
"That's Lee Hyukjae, but everyone calls him Eunhyuk. He's your hyung, older than you by a few months. He's a lot like you, you two will get along like pink and black." Sungmin says, leaning over so I could hear him better.
"Pink and Black?" I question, laughing as Sungmin hyung is distracted by 'Kyuhyunnie' covering Sungmin hyung's eyes with his hands..... which are big. I should find out his name. Maybe Eunhyuk knows. I turn to Eunhyuk, who was playing with his Ipod touch.
"Hey, Eunhyuk hyung? What's that kids name thats got Sungmin hyung blushing like that?" I ask, Eunhyuk looks up at me before glancing over at Sungmin hyung.
"That's Cho Kyuhyun. He's the youngest in our friend group. Which includes Heechul hyung and now you. So our total number is fifteen now." Eunhyuk says, putting his Ipod down. I nod my head.
"Would that make us all Groupies then?" I ask jokingly, Eunhyuk smiles as he understands what I mean.
"Hmmm.... I guess so. Yah! Leeteuk hyung! Did you know we're groupies?!" Eunhyuk shouts to a guy, who stopped rubbing his eye sleepily and sat up straighter in a man's arms, the man had greyish hair, he was too young to have natural grey hair though so it was dyed. He pulled it off too.
"Groupies huh? Who came up with that?" Asked 'Leeteuk' hyung, smiling as he noticed Kyuhyun and Sungmin hyung, who were talking, a very cute scene, since Sungmin hyung kept blushing and Kyuhyun obviously likes Sungmin hyung too.
"Donghae ssi! Good one huh?" Eunhyuk replied, waving at a girl and boy that were just getting on the bus.
"Donghae ssi? Is that the man sitting beside you?" he asked, hearing that the topic was switching over to me, I waved at the two.
"Yupperz! This is Lee Donghae, he's friends with Heechul hyung!" Eunhyuk said, taking a drink out of a milk carton that I just noticed. Wow I'm observant.
"And he's my cousin!" Sungmin hyung interrupted briefly, before going back to his conversation with Kyuhyun, which Yesung hyung and Ryeowook had joined.
"Really now? Small world then? How is Heechul ah?" 'Leeteuk' hyung asked, his tiredness seeming to melt away. The man that had his arms wrapped around 'Leeteuk' laughed.
"This is our oldest group member, Park Jungsu. We like to call him Leeteuk though. I'm Kim Youngwoon, people call me Kangin." he said, as Leeteuk smiled.
"He's older than Heechul hyung by nine days." Hankyung added.
I nod my head, asking; "So Leeteuk hyung is the oldest and Kyuhyun is the youngest?"
Eunhyuk shakes his head, "No, not really. There are two of us that no one really knows is with us, but they are. They don't live here or go to our school but they're our friends and part of our group. The youngest is one of them, his name is Henry. The other is Zhou Mi, they're in China right now. You'll see them in a few weeks."
"When Heechul hyung comes!" Hankyung inputs. After he said that, most fo the noise on the bus stops.
"Heechul hyung is coming down?" Ryeowook asks, tilting his head, which even I admit is cute. Yesung obviously though so too, since he 'awwed' and hugged Ryeowook, who looked startled.
"Yes, didn't I tell you guys?" Hankyung asks, looking confused.
"No!" Leeteuk exclaims; "When!?"
"On Thursday two weeks from now." I say, starting to lipsynch to Hey Ya, by Jun Jin which just came on. God I love random selection. The way that the music goes from Chinese ballads to Korean pop is AWESOME!
"Really? How'd you know that?" Sungmin hyung asks, I can see the school now.
"I talked to him yesterday. He's moving here!" I say happily,doing a little dance that matched my music. I heard Eunhyuk chuckle quietly. "What you laughing at!" I say in English, which even I could tell was horribly accented.
"You." Eunhyuk replies, smiling at me.
"Yeah, well! The Aliens are going to get you then!" I exclaim, crosssing my arms.
"He's moving here? Since when?" Kangin asked, bringing my and Eunhyuk's attention back to the conversation.
"Since he begged his parents." Hankyung says, "Not that he'll admit that he begged."
"Kim Heechul doesn't beg. He asks nicely." I semi-quote, before laughing at that with Hankyung.
"You talked to him last night?" Hankyung asks, I nod. "He told me that same thing."
"Heechul hyung has a lot of pride." I say, getting up with everyone else as we get off the bus to start our day at school.
I turn it on and Moon Hee Jun's Toy start playing through my headphones.
