Summary: Who was the person who spoke?
Arc I Arc II
“What are you four doing at the door?” A voice came from one of the rooms.
Donghae, Kibum, Sungmin and Hankyung all turned towards the voice.
Please don’t let it be who I think it is. Donghae thought. It seems like a repeat of that day.
Donghae almost heaved a sigh of relief when he caught sight of the person.
“Hyukkie, what are you doing awake?” Donghae asked nervously.
Eunhyuk gave a puzzled look. “Huh? I was going back to my room from the toilet.” His head tilted to the side, wondering why Donghae was acting so nervous.
“Oh. Go ahead. Don’t mind us.” Donghae shooed Eunhyuk towards his room. Eunhyuk was still puzzled, so he asked.
“What are you four doing?”
Donghae exchanged a nervous glance with Kibum.
“Erm…” Kibum wasn’t the best at coming up with instant answers.
“We wanted to go see the aliens!” Donghae suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone stared at him. Aliens?
“Aliens? Now?”
“Yes. Don’t you know that they usually land at night? And tonight is the best time to see it. Do you want to come along?”
Eunhyuk looked at Donghae sceptically. Donghae and Sungmin he could understand about seeing aliens. Hankyung perhaps to keep them out of trouble. But Kibum? He didn’t look like one to go see aliens with Donghae. But Eunhyuk was tired and all he wanted to do now was to get back to his bed. So he accepted the explanation - which would have been far-fetched if it came from anyone else besides Donghae - and headed for his room.
Sungmin and Hankyung went back to staring at each other, none wanting to give way to the other.
Donghae and Kibum gave a sigh of relief when Eunhyuk didn’t question anymore. Kibum was about to congratulate Donghae for the brilliant excuse when they heard.
“Why not you tell me the truth now?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heechul was a light sleeper. Tonight he was disturbed by the voices outside his room. He was tired and irritated that someone had the nerve to disturb his beauty sleep. He opened the door, intending to scream at the people outside when someone beat him to it.
“What are you four doing at the door?”
Heechul remained in the shadow, watching as Donghae explained to Eunhyuk. Heechul caught the surprised looks on the four’s faces when Eunhyuk first spoke. That gave him a reason to suspect that something was going on. When Heechul first heard Donghae’s exclamation about visiting the aliens, he was inclined to believe him. Until he saw the other three’s reaction. They don’t seem to know that they’ll be visiting aliens. It was then that Heechul confirmed that something deeper was going on. He watched as Eunhyuk accepted the explanation and headed back to his room. Heechul decided to speak up.
“Why not you tell me the truth now?
Hankyung broke his staring with Sungmin and turned towards the voice. He knew that voice. It was Heechul.
True to his thoughts, Heechul emerged from the shadows.
Donghae and Kibum looked at each other. We’re doomed.
Kibum had felt his anger dissipate when Sungmin refused to tell Hankyung the address. Suddenly the angry hue disappeared. Logic returned to his mind. Kyuhyun would be upset if he were to just storm to Jong Ki’s house. If only Kyu was not that kind-hearted.
Kibum tensed when he first heard a voice. Like Donghae, he felt as if it was a repeat of that day when Eeteuk stumbled onto their conversation. Luckily for them, it was Eunhyuk who believed Donghae’s excuse. When he heard the next voice, he thought immediately. We’re doomed.
Sungmin tore his eyes from Hankyung and looked at Heechul. Uh oh.
“Well? I’m waiting.” Heechul crossed his arms.
“Erm… we’re going to visit -”
“Aliens? Don’t give me that crap. I’m not that gullible.” Heechul cut Donghae off. Heechul wanted an answer, and he wanted it right now.
Hankyung looked at all of them, before dragging Heechul towards Donghae’s room.
“What? Hankyung? What are you doing?” Heechul exclaimed.
The three looked at each other before following. It was better to keep their conversation in the room.
Hankyung ignored Heechul’s protest as he dragged him into the room.
“Kyungie! Let me go!”
Hankyung released his grip on Heechul when they entered the room.
“Hyah! Why did you do that for?” Heechul almost lost his balance when he was suddenly released.
The three entered the room silently, Sungmin closing the door behind him.
“Sit.” Hankyung pointed to the bed.
“I’m not a dog.” Heechul said, sitting grudgingly.
Sungmin positioned himself at the door. He was not about to let the same thing happen again.
Hankyung was still angry. He still wanted to give that guy hell. But right now there were more important things to deal with.
Donghae kneeled in front of Heechul.
“Hyung, I’m sorry for lying to you. I just, we just don’t know how to tell you.”
Heechul looked at Donghae with understanding in his eyes. He did not blame Donghae for lying.
Donghae stared worriedly at Sungmin before turning back to look at Heechul’s lap. He did not want to see the emotions in Heechul’s eyes that he was sure would appear.
“Sungmin-hyung went to visit Kyuhyun’s best friend’s house that day…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Donghae ended, there was silence. Kibum glanced worriedly at Heechul. There was no reaction coming from his hyung, except the clenching of his fists. No reaction at all. Kibum would rather Heechul scream, shout and demand to see that bastard. Anything was better than this.
Suddenly, Heechul stood up.
“Kyungie, let’s go.”
Hankyung nodded and followed. Donghae stood up.
“Hyung, where are you going?”
“To that stupid bastard’s house. How dare he say that to my Kyu? It’s unforgivable.”
“Hyung…” Donghae tried to grab Heechul’s hand, but Heechul pulled it away.
Heechul and Hankyung came to a stop in front of Sungmin.
“I’m not letting you go. Any of you.” Sungmin stood by the door, refusing to give way.
Heechul gave a piercing stare at Sungmin, daring him to continue blocking his path.
“Sungmin. Move out of the way.” Hankyung said.
Sungmin shook his head, a determined look on his face.
“Sungmin. I’m not going to say it again.”
“No.”
Heechul reached over to pull Sungmin away from the door.
“Hyung! Let go of me! I’m not going to let you pass!”
Sungmin struggled against Heechul, who surprisingly had a very strong grip.
“Stop it!”
Sungmin and Heechul froze in their actions, Heechul’s hands still holding Sungmin.
“Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Why are you fighting? Why? I know that you want revenge. Who doesn’t? All of us do! But can we all stop and think about it? If we were to take revenge right now without thinking clearing, who would be hurt the most? It surely wouldn’t be the one who deserved it. It would be Kyuhyun. Because knowing him, he would blame himself. Which is more important right now? Our feelings? Or Kyuhyun’s? I just don’t want any of us to do something we would regret later!”
“Shh. It’s okay, Kibum. It’s okay. They get it. It’s okay.”
Donghae whispered from behind Kibum, hugging him. Donghae could feel the trembling in Kibum as he tried to calm himself down. Kibum shook his head, turning to face Donghae. He buried his head in Donghae’s shoulder.
“I don’t know what to do, Hyung. I really don’t.” Kibum’s muffled voice echoed through the quiet room.
Heechul slowly let go of Sungmin. Kibum’s estranged shouting had cut through the angry haze in Hankyung’s and Heechul’s mind. It was an irony. The youngest was the one with the most mature thoughts while the two oldest were the ones who gave in to their emotions. The muffled words cleared the haze.
Heechul looked at Sungmin, who had tears in his eyes. Heechul averted his gaze.
“I’m sorry Sungmin.”
Sungmin shook his head. “Hyung.”
Heechul looked up slightly. Sungmin had opened his arms out, asking for a hug. Heechul was shocked. He wants a hug from me?
Heechul took one step and hugged Sungmin tightly, mumbling into Sungmin’s hair. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Hankyung felt ashamed of himself. How could I forget to think about Kyuhyun? I’m so concerned about my feelings that I forgot. When Hankyung heard what Kibum said next, his heart broke. Kibum sounded like his age or even younger with the despair in his voice and the helplessness. All of them had forgotten that Kibum was almost as young as Kyuhyun. Hankyung walked up to the pair. He patted Donghae on the head, wiping the tears from his face. Hankyung smiled apologetically at Donghae, who nodded. Then, Hankyung walked to the other side to face Kibum.
“Hush. Don’t cry. We’re sorry to make you worried. We weren’t thinking. You were right. It’s alright to not know what to do. We also don’t know what to do. Thank you for knocking some sense into us. Thank you.”
Hankyung joined in the hug, stretching his arms around his dongsaengs, upset that he made them cry.
