There was no oil or chemical spill. There were certainly no weird experiments going on. They couldn’t explain it. It just… happened.
Taeyeon realizes one day that she can stretch. Not the stretch that Victoria can do, but more than that. Her mouth falls open and she stays frozen for how long when she finds that even when she’s staying right where she was, her arm can reach her phone that she left… upstairs.
It’s not long after Taeyeon discovers this new talent of hers that the others also notice changes in them. Jessica freaks out when she looks in the mirror and finds the clothes she’s currently wearing floating in mid-air. Yuri screams at once when she finds herself lifted 10 feet off the ground by absolutely nothing. It takes her an hour to get down and another two hours for the others to calm her down.
Hyoyeon sneezes and at once the other girls suddenly find two Yoonas. The second Yoona sneezes and she turns into Yunho. A confused looking Yunho sneezes and instantly he turns into Heather Morris. Another sneeze and she’s back to being Hyoyeon, who’s now slightly dazed, confused and wishing she could be Yunho again for the longer period of time for the sole purpose of having a chance to look at “herself” naked.
Seohyun complains of a back ache. She ignores it at first, thinking the heavy feeling was just because of stress, but when she gets a cold from Hyoyeon and sneezes, a beautiful pair of white, heavenly wings unfold on her back. Now the term of “angelic” really fits her.
Sunny notices hers at night. She switches off the light and finds nothing changed. It takes her a second before it sinks in. She’s glowing, literally, as if her skin was made with pure luminescence. Taeyeon grabs the chance to point out that this might be why her name is Sunny. The latter doesn’t find the joke all that funny.
Yoona finds out randomly that she can walk through walls. She walks in on Jessica shaving her legs, although the latter still can’t seem to figure out how to control herself as Yoona notices that Jessica’s right arm is still invisible.
Tiffany’s the last girl for the day to find out her new talent. She thinks she’s going crazy, hearing voices in her head until she hears Taeyeon’s voice in her head calling Jessica a bitch and wanting badly to have the latter’s power of invisibility for her own personal gain. Tiffany frowns at the thought of being able to hear people’s thoughts. She’s not exactly too keen in knowing every little bit of the members’ thoughts. Not at all.
Everyone had powers. All except her. Sooyoung bites her lip and tries to stop herself from either crying her eyes out or crying her eyes out even more. Her eye keeps on twitching as she watched the others panic and enjoy themselves in exploring more of their newfound abilities. Taeyeon keeps on bugging Jessica until the latter couldn’t take it anymore and turns invisible. She even takes off her clothes in order to hide herself well. Seohyun and Yuri practice their flying. Sunny covers herself with a blanket as her dazzling skin is too much of a distraction. Hyoyeon keeps on sniffing pepper while muttering “Yunho” over and over again. Yoona just keeps on popping up and disappearing everywhere. Tiffany just sits on one side, hands pressing on both ears and silently wishing everyone to keep their thoughts quiet. There are such things as too much information and Tiffany wants none of it. And then she hears a faint voice, mood completely opposite all of the others’ moods. Tiffany opens her eyes and finds Sooyoung sitting quietly on the corner of the room. She focuses on the tall girl’s thoughts. Tiffany stands up and walks toward Sooyoung. She sits beside her and offers her a consoling hug.
Two days later. Still nothing, both on answers on how they acquired superhuman powers and on why Sooyoung is the only one who’s normal. To add a little dose of relief, Sunny and Tiffany kept on telling Sooyoung they’d prefer to be the normal, powerless ones. Of course, the tallest girl knew the two just didn’t like their powers. Sunny didn’t like being too bright, as the boys she liked would get have to look away from her to save their eyesight. Tiffany, on the other hand, had had enough of the other girls’ secret and she feels the knowledge of it is slowly eating away her sanity. It was kinda, sorta true, though.
Sooyoung knows that if they had powers like the others, they would also be hysterically happy right now. To this, Tiffany responds with a look, confirming Sooyoung’s suspicion.
Almost a week and still nothing. An annoyed Sooyoung hurriedly escapes So Nyu Shi Dae’s apartment to come back to reality. She visits TVXQ’s apartment first, hoping that Changmin’s wisdom or Junsu’s game addiction or Yoochun’s womanly advices or even Yunho’s lame jokes can return her back to her sanity. But mostly she just wants Jaejoong’s cooking but she’d never really say that out loud.
She knocks on the door and Changmin answers it. Sooyoung greets him but instead of greeting her back, Changmin merely stares at her.
“Sooyoung-ah,” He says in a tone that he uses only when he’s sleep-talking. At the sound of her name, Sooyoung hears commotion inside of the apartment as the other four boys repeat her name and suddenly run around in the house, as if there was chaos.
Perplexed, Sooyoung stares back at Changmin and asks, “What’s happening? Erm, have I done something wrong?”
Changmin doesn’t answer and just stares dreamily at her. Sooyoung even waves her hand in front of him. It does the trick. Changmin does move but he does not exactly do what she’s expecting. He grabs her arm and pulls her towards him. The next thing Sooyoung realizes is that Changmin’s kissing her. Passionately. Changmin. Kissing. Her.
She blinks. Then blinks again. It finally sinks in and Sooyoung quickly pushes Changmin away, eyes wide open. Before she can react further, though, the door bursts open forcefully, almost to the point of being unhinged as Yoochun, Yunho, Jaejoong and Junsu scramble to get out of the apartment, beat the daylights out of Changmin and get to her all at the same time.
“Sooyoung-ah! It’s a good day, we should go out and play soccer at the park!”
“No, Sooyoung-ah, we should go see a movie today!”
“Sooyoung-ah, let me cook for you!”
“I wrote a song for you, Sooyoung-ah! Let me sing it for you!”
Their voices come all at once as the four guys push against each other and still manage to smile at her. At the back, she can hear Changmin calling out to her in his dream-state voice. She looks at the four guys, forces a smile and (even if she is really tempted by Jaejoong’s offer) declines all of their invitations, saying she has to go. She quickly turns her heels and runs for her life. The five run after her but Sooyoung manages to get to the elevator in time. The door closes just in time.
Sooyoung catches her breath and leans on the elevator wall. That was perhaps the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to her and she sure as hell didn’t want it to happen again.
But it does. Sooyoung merely walks by Super Junior’s apartment and suddenly all 15 guys (Henry and Zhou Mi came to visit) starts piling out, only her name on their lips. Sooyoung didn’t waste a second as she started running for her life, back to So Nyu Shi Dae’s apartment.
A few meters later, she stops to catch her breath. Sooyoung looks behind her and finds no one behind her. She smiles triumphantly.
“There she is!” She hears Kyuhyun’s voice loud and clear. Sooyoung looks back and finds Jinki, Taemin, Kibum, Minho, Jonghyun with Kyuhyun, the rest of Super Junior, Jaejoong, the rest of TVXQ and… loads more guys that she couldn’t recognize. And they were all running towards her.
“Oh dear God.”
Sunny’s the first one to notice the ground shaking. The others follow one by one. Jessica suggests it might be an earthquake but Tiffany, who crouches down with hands pressing hard on her ears, tells her otherwise. No, it’s quite scarier than an earthquake, she tells them. A minute later a disgruntled, sweaty, breathless, panicky Sooyoung barges through the door. She quickly works on the triple locks before leaning against it.
All the girls notice her tousled hair, her almost rip clothing and a few petals of roses on her here and there.
“What… happened to you?” Yoona dared to ask and before Sooyoung can answer, all of them hear shouting. It only takes a minute for their apartment to be surrounded by, literally, thousands of guys.
Sooyoung could only force half a smile. “I, er… I think I just found out what my powers are.”
