Summary: Kibum and Hankyung finds out.
Arc I Arc II
Sungmin and Donghae stopped outside the door to their dorm. They looked at each other to make sure that all evidence that they cried before had been destroyed. Sungmin nodded, satisfied. They took a deep breath before entering the dorm.
Everyone was already in the dorm, waiting for them to be home.
“Where have you two been?” Eeteuk asked with a worried look on his face. “We tried calling your hand phones but none of you answered.”
Sungmin took out his hand phone from his pocket. The screen was blank.
“Sorry Hyung, my phone is flat.” Sungmin raised his phone sheepishly.
Donghae dug for his phone in his bag. It was buried all the way in such that he did not feel the vibrations at all. 4 missed calls. Oops.
Eeteuk sighed, already knowing the answer. “As long as you’re home. Come, let’s eat.”
Eeteuk ushered the two to the dining table.
It was a rather unusual dinner. Two of the usually noisy people were quietly having dinner, not joining into the conversation. It caught the attention of some of the more observant members. They wondered what had occurred that led to such silence. Sungmin and Donghae tried to act normally, but could not summon the energy to engage in any talk. They could not wait for dinner to end. They didn’t want to be under Eeteuk’s observation any longer. Donghae knew that Eeteuk would most probably be able to spot something wrong with them. They weren’t the best at hiding their emotions. Finally, after what seemed like eternity to Donghae and Sungmin, dinner was finally finished.
Sungmin wondered how they were going to get Hankyung and Kibum to a room to have their conversation.
“Bummie! Can you teach me how to play the new game?” Donghae dragged Kibum into his room, claiming to play a game with Kibum. It was a brilliant idea since Donghae loved to play the games. Donghae left Sungmin alone to think about how to get Hankyung into the room. Sungmin glared at Donghae for leaving him to deal with it. Sungmin fidgeted. He was not good at coming up with excuses. They tended to be nonsensical. Luckily for Sungmin, he was able to catch Hankyung alone in the kitchen washing up.
“Hyung, can you come to Donghae’s room later?”
Hankyung looked at Sungmin with questions in his eyes, but nodded. He wanted to know what the two was up to. They certainly weren’t acting like themselves during dinner. He hurried to finish washing the dishes.
Sungmin quickly went into Donghae’s room, not wanting to run into any of the other members. He shut the door so fast, causing the two who were sitting on the floor to look up sharply at him.
“He’s coming.” Sungmin said to Donghae, before claiming a seat next to Donghae.
Kibum looked curiously at his hyungs. “Who’s coming? And Hae-hyung, I thought you wanted to play a game?”
“Hannie is coming. And no. I bluffed you. Sorry.” Donghae explained to Kibum.
Now Kibum was a little worried. This was not customary behaviour from his hyungs. Normally they were always hyper and happy, though Kibum knew that they had their serious sides. But when they were serious, it meant that something important had occurred. Then there was a knock on the door. Hankyung walked in as all three focused their eyes on him. Hankyung gave a puzzled look at Kibum, wondering why Kibum was here as well. Both exchanged questioning glances as Hankyung sat down facing the door.
Silence reigned. Donghae and Sungmin didn’t know how to begin while Hankyung and Kibum didn’t know what was going on. They all waited for someone to break the silence.
“Hankyung-hyung, I’m going to tell you what the three of us already know.”
Kibum had a vague idea of where the conversation was heading. How did Donghae-hyung know about it?
Hankyung stared at Sungmin, knowing that it was a serious conversation.
“Did you know about Kyuhyun’s best friend?”
“Kyu’s? Are you talking about his friend who had died in a car accident?” Hankyung clarified.
Sungmin and Donghae exchanged a look. So he did know about it.
“What do you know about it?”
Hankyung was wondering where the conversation was leading to. “Only that his friend died in a car accident. I don’t know anything else.”
So Kyuhyun never did tell any of us. Donghae concluded. He wondered how Kyuhyun kept everything to himself, how he survived through the horror. Donghae could not have coped with his father’s death if not for the support of Super Junior and his family. And yet, Kyuhyun had no one at all.
Sungmin took a deep breath and started, “I found a picture of Kyuhyun and his best friend, Jong Ki, at his house. Jong Ki looked familiar to me, but I could not place where. So I search the internet. I found an article…”
Hankyung listened with his eyes opening wider and wider. Does it mean that he was there when Jong Ki had died?
“Come to think of it. It was near his birthday when he was so sad.” Hankyung suddenly realised. At that time, they had not known that Kyuhyun’s birthday was in February.
“It was February 2. And they had just celebrated his birthday.” Kibum added, feeling upset.
Hankyung’s mouth dropped open. What? Hankyung could not even begin to fathom what Kyuhyun felt then. He did not even know what he was feeling now. There was only numbness in him, as if his mind was trying to reject the information.
Kibum caught on to the fact that there was more to the story.
“Hyung, there’s more right?”
Donghae nodded slowly, remembering the scene he arrived in earlier that day. Both looked expectantly at him.
“We went to visit Kyuhyun. I wanted to give him an album while Minnie wanted to pass something Mrs Kang gave to Kyuhyun -” “What did Mrs Kang give Kyuhyun?” Hankyung cut in.
Sungmin shrugged. “I don’t know. It didn’t feel right to look at it.”
Hankyung nodded, allowing Donghae to continue.
“We saw Jong Ki’s brother holding Kyuhyun against the wall. I shouted out. That guy let Kyuhyun go. Kyu slid down onto the floor. We didn’t know what had happened between the two of them, at least not the actual conversation. I went to Kyuhyun, worried that he did not seem to have reacted to our presence. He flinched when I was about to touch him. That guy actually said that he was giving what Kyuhyun deserved! Can you believe him? Sungmin punched him. It must have felt good.” Donghae got increasingly angry as he related what happened to Hankyung and Kibum, igniting gasps from both of them as he spoke. Before they could react, Sungmin took up the narration.
“I punched him once and told him to scram, or else. I should have punched him at least another time, or tied him up. That was too easy on him.” Sungmin clenched his fist, wishing that he had done more damage.
Hankyung was shocked. It was rare that Sungmin got angry and punched someone. Not that he didn’t want to punch that idiot as well.
“For the whole time, Kyuhyun refused to look at Donghae. He stared blankly with tears flowing down his face. I didn’t want to ask about what happen at that place so I suggested that we talk in the house. Kyu tried to get up, but he was in pain.”
“I carried him into the house. It was obvious that he was in great pain despite trying to look as if everything was fine. He refused to let us call for a doctor. Sungmin-hyung gave him pain killers. As we were helping him up, he was trembling. I think it was a combination of pain and fear. I don’t know. We wanted to ask Kyu about what happened. But none of us knew how to start.”
“I think the pain killer made him lose the tight control he had over his emotions and thoughts. He told us that the brother accused him of killing Jong Ki and destroying Jong Ki’s future. That it should be Kyu who…”
Sungmin felt the words choke in his mouth.
“That it should have been Kyu who died instead of Jong Ki, because Kyu had no one.” Donghae completed the explanation.
