The audience, including the staff and MCs, inside the studio burst hysterical laughter and guffaws. Also, my teammates one by one dropping on the ground with their hands on their stomachs, laughing so hard that some of them had to catch their breath.
Eeteuk-hyung’s signature laugh - the ANG ANG ANG!! - echoed around the area and Siwon-ah had tears visibly falling from his squinted eyes. Hankyung-hyung, looking like he was ready to pass out due to lack of oxygen from laughing, held on one of the pillars near him. Heechul-sshi covered his mouth, just like Sungminnie and Kyuhyun-ah. And last but not the least, I saw my objection of affection grinning widely, contrary to the madness most members were doing, as he watched me and my now drenched appearance.
Apparently, Super Junior were now in a sports game show - courtesy of M.net again - for special appearances and promotions and was asked to participate to their odd and unseasonal sports fest plans.
We, well some of the members actually, already did various things like skip-roping, tossing the egg and popping the balloon with your behind activities but for some twisted reason, I was placed in the portion where I needed to cross a narrow bridge after being spun for fifteen times. Underneath the bridge was a pool of water, complete with floating giant rubber duckies.
Those rubber duckies, I better get one of those myself. I thought fondly as I watched the obstacle course being polished for usage in front of us and the audience. As I waited for the setting up, I found myself discreetly looking at Ryeowook and his egg-covered sports clothes and concluded that no matter what this seemingly fragile member was currently in, he looked damn fine.
With or without the egg mess.
I watched him smiling as he talked with Kangin-sshi who I couldn’t help but notice his arms wrapped around the younger one’s waist; the big male’s gaze with Eeteuk-hyung. What’s up with that?? Were they like that before?
I knew I was starting to get upset the more I saw Kangin-sshi’s being too touchy with Ryeowook-ah but instead of marching up on them and tearing them apart, I quietly bit my lower lip and looked away. Gotta focus more on important things right now, Jongwoon. C’mon.
“Now, to determine which member of Super Junior has the most balanced body, we conducted a survey among them!” One MC, a male, gleefully announced while walking towards the obstacle course, pointing it excitedly. “And this person has to cross this bridge after spinning him around and around! Can he do it?!”
The audience, majority of females, loudly responded; their remarks consisted of: “Of course he can!” and “Tell us the chosen member already!”
I did wonder myself who had the most balanced body. Wasn’t it Hankyung? I vaguely remembered it was him ever since our shoot of EHB. To my complete surprise, someone had already been voted for that role and I had no idea why and how he was chosen.
“Super Junior’s most balanced person is-
Cue drum roll here.
“-YESUNG-SSHI!”
The wails and squeals and claps vibrated the whole studio and before I knew it, Shindong-ah had already pushed me at the starting point of the obstacle, him congratulating, “Yah, good luck! If you fall, don’t worry about it. The water’s pretty shallow.”
I had badly wanted to protest regarding with the unusual results -hey, I have zero balance, people!- but the second I glanced at Ryeowook-ah clapping enthusiastically for me, I changed minds drastically. Then I heard him cheering, “Hyung! Hwaiting!”
Music to my ears. This was the moment I had to impress Ryeowook for him to fall in love with me.
Because Operation Attempt 01 was: Impress Ryeowook during game shows!
Quickly, I gained confidence and proudly stepped on the bridge, with me waving my hand like a happy miss universe contestant, and chest pumped up. “I’ll finish this within 10 seconds! Or less!” Then I did one of my signature dance moves that consisted nothing but flailing my arms around - like the Kangin dance.
The audience went “Oooooh…” in unison and at the corner of my eye, I saw Donghae-ah and Eunhyuk-ah stifling their giggles.
Oh, you’ll see… Determination mixed with slight nervousness filled every part of my body, the former being the strongest. Even my breathing and heartbeats got affected despite feeling less nervous.
The MCs finally made me spin the elephant-nose spin for a good number of times and without giving myself much allowance for recovery, I took off quickly towards the goal end with a single thought in mind, Gotta impress him. Gotta impress Ryeowook!
Because, hey, this was a pretty easy task to do.
Or so I thought.
No sooner than 3 seconds, my face found the waters in a loud SPLASH. I fell like a drunkard who had too much booze for his own good.
I coughed and hacked the bitter-tasting substance; the duckies floating annoyingly beside my head. My make-up ran with the water and hair-do slightly ruined. That was then the whole studio guffawed like there was no tomorrow.
“Yesung-sshi’s too adorable!” The female partner of the MC cooed at me then to the audience for acknowledgement. “Don’t you think so?”
The watchers continued laughing and clapping for me. Personally, these things didn’t bother me at all since I was known to seemingly succeed, only to fail right before the beginning. I made people laugh with these comical antics.
Except for certain dongsaeng who just flashed a smile; him not laughing his heart out like the rest of them. Why? Wasn’t he entertained? The uneasiness didn’t left as I continued pondering over Ryeowook’s thought of me and my unsuccessful activities.
I was determined to show off for him much more for this game show… To my dismay, however, I just failed more than I could count with my fingers.
Operation Attempt 01: FAILED.
Time to switch to Attempt 02 but I had first to insert an unconventional Operation of Friendly Revenge to a certain hyung who I found after the game show, snugged too closely to Ryeowook during our ride towards home.
Kangin.
This man’s head was on Ryeowook-ah’s petite shoulder and one arm loosely place on the latter’s stomach, snoozing peacefully with the younger member. I felt furious but didn’t say or do anything. Suddenly, Ryeowook, whose eyelids fluttered open, caught me staring at him; his lucid eyes - things that I loved to look at everyday - locked with mine. My heart pumped and he quickly fell back to sleep; his head gradually leaning to Kangin’s.
I merely clenched my hands, sat back on the chair and volumed up my music to an ear-splitting sound. Dammit, I want to be the one to do that with him.
Even though our home wasn’t for another hour, I felt that the trip took forever to reach its destination.
To take revenge or not to, that was the question.
And dammit, Ryeowook. Love me already, won’t you! Or else I’d sneak up on you while your asleep and take you on right there and then! Gah!
That simple thought alone made me grin like an idiot.
A perverted idiot, that was.
