The Hermit and the Prince

Some centuries ago

Soft, slow music filtered through the semi-darkened room. A couple danced gracefully across the dance floor, completely unaware of their surroundings, as they only had eyes for one another. The young man, clasped the girl’s waist gently, guiding her around without much thought for what he was actually doing as he was mesmerised within her eyes. Their first encounter, their first dance, their first love. Many thoughts flitted through his mind at that instance to which he was sure there were no answers to. To the eyes of all those around them, it was clear, this was what they called love at first sight.

Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

6 November, 2009

The sun broke clear of the canopy of trees in the forest, bathing it with the soft rays of dawn. He got off his bed, without opening his eyes, manoeuvring around as if he knew the outlay of the room from memory, which, he did. He only opened his eyes when he finally had a drink of water, his first morning sip of the crystal clear water. He looked out his window at the bright sunshine, deeming it a good day already. His eyes took in the expanse of the forest in front of him, wondering if there could be another place as wonderful as this.
What he failed to notice, was the shimmer of white that faded into the depths of the forest to his left. He might have noticed had he paid attention.
Gathering his tools, he set out to see if he was able to hunt for some food. It wasn’t as if he had needed to, his supply seemingly a little bit off from being full. Somehow, he felt it was necessary. Shaking his head ruefully and not doubting his instincts for an instant, he wandered off into the forest, humming a tune he could never seem to get out of his head.

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Paran, all seemed at ease. The same sunlight shining over the Forest of Tamra shone brightly over the inhabitants of Paran. Although it was early morning, the people of Paran were already bustling about their daily business with men heading off to their various jobs, women starting their household duties and children laughing merrily on the roads. It seemed like any other day. But this day wasn't like any other day. This day would be one they’d never forget.

“You think he’ll be pleased with our efforts so far?” The speaker was a medium height man with black hair left long enough to slightly cover his eyebrows. At first glance, anyone would wonder why this man was in his present company. His face shone of cuteness that would make anyone want to pinch his cheeks. What they didn’t know was that he was a skilled fighter. Perhaps even one of the most skilled, but no one had dared to check that theory out themselves.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve waited far too long for this.” The second man was taller than the first, with a somewhat lankier build and short blonde hair that slightly stood up towards the middle. He was a quiet, soft-spoken man with a foreign accent. A highly skilled assassin. He walked with a grace that no one else could match, sneaking upon his prey. Before they even registered he was there, a knife would be protruding from their chest. Most of the time, his victims never even knew what had hit them.
“Mmm.”
The two men continued to stand, staring into the distance where only the highest towers of the Royal Palace of Paran could just be seen. Their eyes scanned the horizon every so often, awaiting the signal for them to begin their descent. This was it. This is what they had been planning for 20 long years. No more waiting, no more hiding, no more planning.
Behind them, waiting in the shadows, was none other than the ‘he’ that the first speaker had mentioned. Nothing much could be said about this man. His appearance was hidden within the shadows of his dark power. Darkness served as a cloak for this man. He controlled the darkness whilst the darkness controlled him in return. If one was to peer closer through the flittering shadows surrounding him, one might say he seemed sad.

“LEE DONGHAE! WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!”
The said young man grinned sheepishly at the suddenly towering woman in front of him. “Trying to fluster the maids?”
Sighing to herself, the woman dropped the hands she had braced on her hips. “When will you stop this, Hae? I don’t have the time to find another maid.”
“But, Mother! What else am I supposed to do? I’ve finished all my lessons. And you won’t let me out.” A pout adorned his face at that moment. His mother looked at him, lower lip jutting out just like that. Shaking her head, she turned around and walked back towards her chamber.
She didn’t bother to turn her head around even though she was aware her over-happy son was trailing behind her. Her own saddened thoughts clouded her mind and she wasn’t too sure she would be able to withstand the thought of what was to happen if she had to look at her son’s face for much longer.

It seemed that the Queen’s mood quickly spread throughout the palace. No one was sure what had bought the Queen into such a quiet, saddened mood, but it affected each of them. Their always smiling Queen had a permanent frown etched on her thin eyebrows, creases upon her forehead. Today was the day, the day that was going to change everything. The day that was predetermined 20 years ago.

For the Kingdom of Paran, it seemed as though nothing was amiss. Everything occurred as per usual throughout the day. It wasn’t until the breaking of the day that tiny mishaps begun. It was only small things that the inhabitants brushed aside, telling themselves it was nothing, just the trick of the light. As the sky slowly descended, faint horse hooves beating along the roads could be heard. But it was so faint, that it was once again brushed off. Little did the inhabitants know, that the ominous galloping was just the beginning of their downfall.

It was perhaps towards the 8th hour into the night that the townsfolk begun to notice that things were indeed not right. All of their livestock and pets had suddenly slunk away whilst their masters’ backs were turned. The air around them was deadly silent. Everyone began crowding around the eldest’s home, fear showing on their faces. Whispers went through the crowd, whispers that things hadn’t seem right at the Royal Palace today either. No one knew what to do. They waited and praying things weren’t as they seemed.

Back at the Palace, reports were flying to the King and Queen of mysterious citings across Paran. Murders of high councillors, albeit corrupted ones, were whispered into their ears.
By the 9th hour of the day, fighting had broken out in several cities. It would not be much longer before it reached the Palace.
The King and Queen looked at each other, fear reflected in their eyes. They knew what they had to do. At all cost. It was their only hope. They knew.

The King snapped his finger at one of the passing pages and requested that he bring Kyuhyun to them immediately. The wait for the Kingdom’s hidden ninja seemed much longer than usual to the King and Queen. It seemed as though the seconds were minutes and the minutes were hours.
The Queen jumped at the baritone sound of the ninja announcing his arrival in their ears.
“Your Majesties requested my services?”
“Yes. We need you to escort Prince Donghae to the Taiji Forest soon. The future of Paran depends on this. And when the time comes, please give him this.” The King passed a sealed letter into the hand of the ninja who immediately tucked it away.
“When will I know when the time comes?”
“Trust us, you just will. Just make sure you keep Prince Donghae safe. When fighting breaks out towards the Palace entrance, you are to escort Prince Donghae out the staff exit and into the Taiji Forest. Within the middle of the forest is an abandoned hut. That is where you must leave the Prince and never seek him out again. In your course of travel, nothing is to be said to him about his destination, nor what is to happen to him. He must not know what is to occur. Lie if you must, but he must not know the truth. No word of this is to be even whispered to another living soul.”
“As you command.”
Even though the King and Queen were watching his every movement, his sudden disappearance took them by surprise. But they rested assured of one thing, their mission was accomplished. So long as Donghae was safe, as the letter from 20 years ago stated must happen, then they couldn’t do naught else. They left everything else for fate to settle.

By now the rest of the Palace knew of the whispers of the fighting within the Kingdom. Stories of people dropping dead on the spot, of mysterious dark horses that ran faster than the wind, of monsters crawling through every home, reached the servants’ ears. Prayers, curses, cries could be heard at every corner of the Palace.
The King and Queen tried their best to walk amongst their own people, trying to bring calmness before things got worse. They knew it was inevitable. They had no way of fighting these things. They weren’t even sure what they were against.

It wasn’t until the 11th hour of the night that news came from a page stumbling into the courtyard of the Palace gardens outside the main building that the fighting had broken through the Palace gates. Panic followed shortly afterwards. People began rushing everywhere in their mad attempts to justify their inevitable deaths in some sort of way. Many tried to flee, only to be met with an even earlier death. The King and Queen retreated into their chamber to ready themselves for a fight that would be their last. They held each other, gazing upon the family portrait that hung above their fireplace, praying to the gods to ensure that Donghae would bypass this calamity.
As they left their chambers, a single arrow flew and embedded itself by their door. A single white feather was attached. The King and Queen let out a soft sigh, knowing their child was as safe as could be. That this sacrifice was for the good of their Kingdom.

“What exactly is going on?! Where are we heading? I demand you answer me now, Kyuhyun! I know my Father and Mother sent you to escort me away. Don’t think I don’t know what’s been happening all day! I’m not the fish that everyone claims I am.”
Donghae never did get an answer in words. The only answer he received was a sharp tug on the arms before he was pulled onto the back of a horse. There, both his hands were bound together to the ninja’s waist.
He took in a deep breath, ready to continue his onslaught of questions and demands for knowledge. But before he could get a word out, the ninja spoke in his usual quiet whisper.
“Prince, I can’t tell you anything. I’ve just been told to escort you to safety.”
Donghae scoffed before lapsing into silence, pondering what he had been told. It seemed as though his parents knew this was coming. But why hadn’t they told him? Why didn’t they let him stay to fight? Why weren’t they escaping with him? A million questions bubbled in his mind, not a single one did he think Kyuhyun would answer.
Instead, he focused on studying the young man in front of him. His short black hair reached towards the nape of his neck. A bit longer than what he was used to seeing. He remembered the first time they had met, Kyuhyun had been shorter than him, a bit awkward in walking, like he wasn’t entirely too sure on his feet. His hair had been slightly brown back then too.
He continued his analysis of his childhood friend. He noticed the ripples of muscles that showed through his long sleeved black shirt, hidden slightly under the light mail shirt, yet still visible. He noted that the intense training that his dongsaeng had undergone must have resulted in those muscles.
“You know, staring at people isn’t polite, Hae. Even if it is at their back. And especially for a Prince.”
“So we’re back to informality now, are we? Since when were we on nickname terms, eh?”
“Hae, look, I’m sorry. You know, I cannot betray the King and Queen. Even if we’re childhood friends. I can’t do it. I’m honour bound.”
Donghae noticed the soft sigh that escaped his friend’s lips, even without actually seeing it. He knew that no matter how much he responded, he would get no answer.
“I know you’re worried. But these are your parents’ orders. And you know very well, you can’t escape me either. So please, let’s just make this easier for both of us.”
“Where are we headed anyways? I’m assuming there is some sort of destination?”
“We’re heading to the Kingdom of Ilix.”
“Ilix? Aren’t we heading in the wrong direction then? I thought it was north-bound. Why are we heading south? And what’s going to happen to me? When can we return?”
“The King told me that we must take this route to ensure no one will find you. Once things calm down, they will seek us there. Hae, please. I can’t answer anymore. Just please. I need all my strength in case we’re being followed.”
Not once did the ninja turn around during the entire trip. They did, however, stop once for a quick rest. He fed water from the water skin to the Prince, watching the water trickle out as he greedily drank as much as he could before being hauled back onto the horse. Slumber overtook his endless questions and with that the ninja made haste towards the forest before depositing his charge on the doorstep of his destination. There he turned around and galloped off, not looking back in fear of returning to his friend’s side.
He trusted the King and Queen in their decisions and hoped for the best. He prayed that he would survive to see the Prince return.

Just like any other morning, the sun continued to beat upon the crowns of the trees. Rays of light shining onto the forest floor. It seemed like any normal morning to the Hermit in the hut.
What he hadn’t expected was the prone form of a young man on his doorstep. He didn’t hesitate in carrying the man into his hut, shutting the door behind on instinct and plopping him down on the makeshift bed.
He hurried out and quickly filled a bucket of water and proceeded to wipe the grime off the boy. It was then that he noticed his handsome features.
He reached his hand across his cheeks, caressing him. He was too mesmerised with the sight that he hadn’t noticed the young man’s hand reaching up to place them upon his own hand.
A peaceful smile flitted across the young man’s face before he opened his eyes and confusion settled into those dark brown orbs.
The Hermit left his hand on his cheek, still with the young man’s hand upon them. They stayed in that position for a few more seconds, before a shriek rang out of the young man’s mouth.

Genre: romance, fluff
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: =.= I only wish I owned the boys... *continues dreaming*
Edited: by the wonderful gee ^^

A/N: this fic is dedicated to the amazing Kim whose birthday it is today... if we go according to my time. Otherwise happy early birthday sweetie <3

“Hyung, what are you doing?”
Donghae looked up to see Kyuhyun standing at his door, eyes looking quizzically at him. “Mmm.”
“Hyung, that didn’t answer my question.”
“Mmm.” Donghae turned back to the box he had held in his hand, noting that Kyuhyun had left without waiting for a proper answer. Not that Donghae felt he was able to give one either.
Donghae was confused. He felt that the box should hold more than just… well, that. He continued to stare inside the box where a teddy bear wearing a fish costume was nestled amongst tissue paper. He sighed but continued staring at the box, as if staring at it would resolve his dilemma.

A month ago

“Kibum!!! What are you doing here? Don’t you have filming?”
“Yeah, I do. But I heard you guys were back so I thought I’d come for a quick visit.”
Donghae threw his arms around Kibum, hugging him tightly. Leaning his head on Kibum’s shoulder, he inhaled the scent that was purely Kibum. Sudden tears began to prick at the corners of his eyes, but he silently willed them away. He didn't want to spoil this moment. He wanted to savor it for the next few months that he wouldn’t’t be able to see Kibum.
“Donghae, I have something for you.”
Donghae quickly released his hold on Kibum and looked at him with his eager, puppy-like eyes.
Kibum laughed at him and took his time removing a white box from his bag.
Donghae tried to grab it out of Kibum’s hand but Kibum held him off. “Happy birthday, Donghae. It’s an early birthday present. But… don’t open it now. Open it when on your birthday. Please?”
Donghae looked at Kibum, a bit confused. He couldn’t help but nod seeing the look in Kibum’s eyes. He wondered if he looked like that when he tried to beg for something because it’s no wonder everyone let him have his way.
Suddenly he couldn't remember what he had been thinking about. For a few minutes all he saw was the radiant smile of Kibum’s that was bestowed upon him. He had the sudden impulse to jump Kibum right then and there. To kiss that smile. But instead, he just fixed that smile into his mind and stored it away in his heart. He didn’t want to destroy their friendship.
“Kibum!!! When did you get here?!”
Donghae was suddenly pushed out of the way in everyone’s attempt to try to give Kibum a hug and exclaim over his absence. He went to his room and added the present to his pile of clothing that was waiting for him to pack for China.
He quickly went out again, not willing to miss a single second of seeing Kibum. Even with 11 other members there, he just wanted to be able to see Kibum’s smile, hear Kibum’s laugh, feel Kibum’s presence.

“Hyung, please don’t tell me you’ve been staring at that box the entire time that I was out.”
Donghae looked up again to see Kyuhyun at his door once again. This time, however, a small frown was on his face.
Donghae shrugged and continued to stare at the box.
He felt his bed dip slightly. Kyuhyun slowly pried the box away from his hands. “Hyung, isn’t this the present that Kibum gave you when we were still in China.”
He nodded, eyes still locked at the box.
Kyuhyun sighed before handing the box back to Donghae. “Hyung, why don’t you just confess to him already?”
Donghae’s eyes snapped to Kyuhyun, shock written all over his face. His mind and heart seemed to have stopped. If Kyuhyun knew… that means the other members might have noticed! He began to panic.
Kyuhyun laid a hand on Donghae’s after noticing that he was beginning to panic. “No, hyung, no one but Zhou Mi and I have noticed.”
Donghae cocked his head to the side, staring at Kyuhyun, still not trusting his voice to speak. Kyuhyun sighed again. “Well, we kind of noticed you wouldn't stop looking at Kibum’s present and how you jumped each time the phone rang. And when you realized it was one of the other members, you looked a bit down. Hyung, you should just confess to him already.”
Donghae shook his head. Tears began coursing down his cheeks.
Kyuhyun took one look at Donghae and just hugged him. This is going to take a while, he thought to himself, mentally noting that he was going to have to enlist Zhou Mi’s help.

Meanwhile back in Korea, Kibum had decided to go visit the remainder of his hyungs that were still there.
He was about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened. “Kibum!”
“Hey, Sungmin hyung.”
“Aren’t you going to come in?”
“Huh? Aren’t you on your way out?”
“Well, I was… but I think I’ll stay now.”
Kibum stepped inside and took off his shoes before being dragged by Sungmin over to the couch.
The other members all saw that Kibum had come to visit and were about to go and envelope him in hugs. That was before they noticed the look that Sungmin shot at them. Each of them quickly mumbled a hello and slipped out of the dorm, claiming they all had schedules or other things to do.
Kibum looked at them all quizzically then turned to Sungmin who had finally seated him onto the couch. “Errr… is everyone always this busy? I… kind of missed everyone.”
“Ah, they’ll be back soon. So… so… how are you?”
“Um, I’m fine. Filming’s just been a bit tiring but it’s that big really. I mean, after all, it’s my dream to be an actor.”
“Have you called Donghae at all?”
Kibum almost jumped at the sudden question. “Hyung, what are you asking that for?”
He tried to will his heart to beat a bit slower. He also tried to turn away, to hide the sudden blush creeping onto his cheeks, but something about Sungmin’s eyes refused to let him do so.
“Oh, please. You seriously think that all of us are like Kangin hyung? Some of us have noticed, you know. Especially when you gave that present to Donghae before he left for China. How come the rest of us don’t get presents, eh?”
Kibum really did blush this time. He opened his mouth to deny it but decided to quickly shut up, seeing that slightly pitying look in Sungmin’s eyes. He only just sighed.
“You should confess seriously.”
“But I did.”
“Huh?”
“That box… I wrote a letter and put it with the teddy bear. But Donghae hasn’t called me, so I’m guessing he doesn't like me that way.”
Sungmin’s thoughts were trying to quickly piece together the puzzle that was supposedly KiHae, as he affectionately put it. From his phone calls with Kyuhyun, that wouldn’t be the case as Donghae seemed to pining away for Kibum. As if he finally found the missing piece of the puzzle, he slapped a hand to his forehead. “Ouch!”
Kibum looked up at his hyung, a bit startled.
Sungmin noticed Kibum staring at him and just waved it off. “I’m fine. Look, I think we should head up to my dorm. I think some of the others might be there.”
He was also eager to get there and hand Kibum over to someone before making a call to Kyuhyun. It seemed like this was up to the two of them, seeing as how a clueless fish and a quiet one weren’t going to solve it themselves.
He chuckled to himself, enjoying this. He was excited to get the plan formulating in his mind into action. Operation KiHae officially begins.

“Donghae, are you sure you want to carry that box with you on the plane. Why don't you store it away into your bags?”
Donghae only looked up at Hankyung, as if to ask his hyung if he was crazy suggesting something like that.
Kyuhyun laid a hand on Donghae’s arm. “Hyung, just let Donghae hyung carry it with him on the plane, or else he won’t be able to sleep properly. It’s not like he’s making any of us carry it, right?”
Hankyung only nodded, noting down the situation, reminding himself to ask Heechul if there was something going on with Donghae.
They finally boarded the plane. Donghae was happy to be heading back to Korea, but he was afraid. Jungsu hyung had called a few days ago and told them all that he was arranging dinner at the dorms when Super Junior M returned to Korea. Dinner with everyone. Meaning Kibum would be there.
Kyuhyun had talked to Donghae a few more times, trying to reason with him that he should just confess to Kibum. He had nothing to lose. Kibum wasn’t the type to be repulsed or angry or anything. In fact, Kibum would only politely decline if he wasn’t interested. Not to mention, they were in China so much, he wouldn’t have to face Kibum if that did happen. Donghae wasn’t even sure that was a good thing. A small knot began to build upon his heart, constricting it slightly. He was nervous, he admits.
Kyuhyun noticed the thoughtful look on Donghae’s face. He was tempted right then to blurt out what Sungmin had told him over the phone.
Lucky for him, he was sitting in between Donghae and Zhou Mi. Zhou Mi had saw that look in Kyuhyun’s face and quickly tugged at his arm.
Kyuhyun looked at Zhou Mi and before he knew it, a small kiss was placed on his lips and then disappearing again as if it hadn’t happened. Kyuhyun turned and glared at Zhou Mi who only smiled at him.
Zhou Mi raised his eyebrow at Kyuhyun, then nodded in Donghae’s direction. Kyuhyun quickly understood and sighed. This was going to be a long plane trip.
Zhou Mi only just grabbed onto Kyuhyun’s hand, idly tracing patterns on his palm, as if to distract him.

Kyuhyun was right. The plane ride seemed much longer than usual. Perhaps because he was so excited and nervous at the same time. He wanted things to go well for Donghae hyung. He didn’t want to see an unhappy Donghae.
“Almost there, Kyu.”
Kyuhyun turned to smile at Zhou Mi, and squeezed the older man’s hand in response. Almost there, indeed.
They proceeded to get all their luggage and trooped to the van. Kyuhyun had quickly claimed sitting with Donghae at the very back to the van, much to everyone’s surprise. They would have thought he would have dragged Zhou Mi there instead to get some time together. They all looked at Zhou Mi who just smiled and winked at them, making them even more confused.

“Hyung, can I see that box for just a second?”
Donghae just handed the box to Kyuhyun, his eyes not leaving it for even just one second. Kyuhyun took the teddy bear out of the box with such a fuss, moving the tissue paper around so much. He just flashed a smile at Donghae after locating the presence of the elusive letter and trying to move it subtly into a position that would ensure Donghae saw. He put the teddy bear back into the box and handed it back to Donghae, who was now beyond confused but decided he didn’t really want to know and continued to gaze forlornly at the teddy bear. He sighed and began to arrange the teddy bear back into its rightful position. It was at that moment that he felt something that wasn't the teddy bear or the tissue paper brush across his hand. His eyes snapped to the piece of white paper poking slightly out from the side of the box.
He turned to look at Kyuhyun, who had decided at that time to lean his chin on the seat in front of him, which had Zhou Mi conveniently seated in it.
Donghae quickly yanked the envelope out, dimly noting that written on it, in Kibum’s handwriting, was his name. He all but tore the envelope and spent the remainder of the car ride reading and re-reading the letter, tears silently coursing down his cheeks. The other members looked at Kyuhyun in surprise, wanting to demand what was going on. Kyuhyun just shook his head and put his finger to his lips. The other members, except Zhou Mi, could only guess what was happening.
Kyuhyun rested his chin back on Zhou Mi’s seat, just noting that Zhou Mi had pressed a kiss to the top of his head.

The car ride seemed to have slowed down each minute to Donghae. He wanted to go back to the dorm right then and throw his arms around Kibum. He was such an idiot. He couldn’t believe he hadn’t noticed. He tried once again to get Kyuhyun’s attention, but the younger man seemed just as preoccupied as before with Zhou Mi so he decided to re-read the letter again. Although by now, he had just about memorised the entire thing.
Eventually the car came to a stop. He all but tore his seatbelt off in an attempt to get out of the van as quick as possible. He barely noticed that the other members were asking him what he was in such a rush for, but he chose to ignore them. His mind was only fixated on one thing: Kim Kibum.
He frantically pressed the up button for the elevator. He didn't even bother waiting for the other members, quickly getting on and pressing the button to get him to the floor of his dorm. He practically danced on the floor of the elevator in impatience.
No sooner had he arrived on the 11th floor and tore out of the elevator. He quickly pressed the code to get into the door and tore inside, searching for one particular face.
He was sure the other members were shouting at him, welcoming him back but he only really noticed one thing. Or rather one person.
He was standing there at the back, a small, unsure smile on his lips. Donghae raced into the dorm and threw his arms around Kibum’s neck and kissed him.
Kibum wasn't too sure what had just happened. One minute he was standing there waiting for the Super Junior M members to return, unsure of what to do when Donghae arrived. The next minute, said boy was at him, kissing him. Kissing him. That’s all that preoccupied his mind now. Donghae’s lips on his. After his initial shock, he began to kiss Donghae back, throwing in as much as Donghae was. He noted that the other members had arrived but that didn’t let him release his hold on Donghae, nor did Donghae release his hold.
After what seemed like ages, they finally let each other go in order to breath. They continued to gaze at one another, love written in both their eyes, without taking their arms off each other.
Donghae smiled a bit sheepishly at Kibum and held up the letter still clutched in his hand, mouthing sorry before he returned that arm to around Kibum’s neck, kissing him again.

The other members were, needless to say, a bit confused and shocked. They all had their suspicions about Donghae and Kibum but as neither of them had showed anything more than brotherly love, they had thought it was nothing more than that. Well, all the other members but the three standing at the back, engaged in their own little reunion.
“Hyung, we actually did.”
“I know, Kyuhyun. I can’t believe it. I’m so happy for them.”
Zhou Mi pouted at the other two. “But I didn’t get a chance to play!”
The pink-loving boy and the snarky magnae only laughed at him and pulled him into a tighter hug. They all sighed with happiness as they looked over at the KiHae couple, still in their own world.

Sorry for being a bit... mysterious right now but yeh *likes being mysterious* ^^;

Comments [bad or good] would be loved ^^

Whispers of nonsensical stories about the Forest of Taiji were forever one of the never-ending topics in the Kingdom of Paran. How was it that a simple, quiet forest that bordered the outskirts of the kingdom suddenly change into an enchanted forest overnight? For 20 years, this question could not be answered.

December, 1989

The howling of mysterious animals could be heard one cold night. A dark, midnight blue blanketed the skies. The King and Queen of Paran looked out their balcony with big, fearful eyes. Their son, only a few days old, was still asleep despite the sudden onslaughter of rain, thunder and lightning. The King put his arms around the Queen, gently leading her back into their bedroom, quietly closing the door behind leaving. The onslaughter of vicious weather continued. Lightning continued to lace the dark sky. Their worries didn’t stop. What did this mean?

In the once quiet Kingdom of Tamra to the far north was locked in a furious battle. The slow inching of the dark side could have been seen for the past weeks by passers-by but nothing was able to stop it. Before the kingdom itself knew of the dangers the dark had accumulated, it was already too late. The final battle was now in place. A wailing child was bundled into the arms of a man dressed in a white, flowing robe with a matching white cloak. The man raised a thin piece of wood, effectively silencing the sound surrounding the child. With a swirl of his cloak and a slight jump, the man and the babe vanished. The dark, believing to have effectively killing off the last of the remaining members of the Kingdom, descended into their dark groves to contemplate their next moves.

As if it had never happened, the once dark skies became a glittering bright blue. The howling winds and clapping thunders stopped in their tracks and disappeared. The inhabitants of Paran looked out their windows in wonder. What had happened? They asked their neighbours, whom were asking the same questions to their neighbours. They retreated back within their homes to pursue the remaining hours they had of sleep left.

Within the palace of the slumbering sovereigns, a snowy white owl flew in through a window left open by one of the servants. Navigating its way through the Palace to the Royal Bedroom, a single letter dropped onto the table beside the King. The envelope held two words: Lee Donghae. In the morning, the king and queen would quietly read the letter in shock and disbelief but followed out its instructions, hoping that they had done the right thing to protect their kingdom. Before the owl departed, it continued its flight to the nursery and perched itself on top of the cradle, a soft, melodic song flowed out of its beak.

Unbeknownst to them, the fate of the kingdom and its inhabitants were sealed in stone that very day.

[One-shot] Secrets

Title: Secrets

Author: lil_aqua_chic

Genre: Crack, fluff, craziness, one-shot

Pairing: Teukwook

Rating: PG+13

Summary: The atmosphere in the SJ dorms has been unpleasant for the past few days. What secret have Eeteuk and Ryeowook been hiding? Who will be the first to find out?

Be prepared to be wow-ed. These are the new and improved Eeteuk and Ryeowook!

Author’s Note: Ok this is just absolutely and completely fail @_@ In my completely lame attempt to write a fic for a dear friend whose birthday it is right now... this is the end product, which I’m afraid to say is complete failure >.<

Anyways I’m hoping the birthday girl, Nicki nicki_maxwell , won’t be too displeased ^^;; This is dedicated to you. I’m sure you’ll know what inspired this XD

“Hyung, are you sure they won’t find out?”
“Ryeowook-ah, trust me, they don’t. We’re awesome at keeping secrets!”
You looked at his hyung sceptically. Would they really be able to pull this off without anyone finding out? This is just insane
“Come on, Wookie! We can’t stay in for much longer or else they’ll get suspicious!”
“Why did I ever agree to this?! Kangin is going to kill us.”
“Nope. He won’t.”
Ryeowook, for the millionth time that night, looked sceptically at his hyung, who was practically prancing out the bathroom door. He sighed to himself. This is going to be a long week.

“HYUNG!”
“Hi, Youngwoon!”
Ryeowook walked out to see Kangin standing in front of Eeteuk with his hands on his hips, glaring at the elder.
“Why were you in the bathroom for so long? What were you and Ryeowook doing?”
At the mention of your name, you whimpered as softly as you could but obviously not softly enough because suddenly the intense glare Kangin was just directly at Eeteuk was on you.
Kangin’s eyes narrowed when he finally saw that you had come out.
“What were you and Jungsu doing in the bathroom for so long?! And why do both of you have face masks on?! You didn’t go in with them before!”
“Youngwoon-ah! Ryeowook and I were just trying to see if we could do our hairs differently for the next Super Show II. I don’t think we were feminine enough.” Eeteuk suddenly spaced out, thinking aloud. “I think we should get curled wigs next time! Oh! Maybe we should go and ask SNSD for hair tips!”
Kangin looked at Eeteuk in disbelief. He put his hand on Eeteuk’s forehead, “Are you okay, Hyung? Why are you thinking of asking SNSD for hair tips?”
Eeteuk just smiled, his dimples flashing. “For our next Gee performance, of course.”
Kangin glanced back over at you. You were still trying to comprehend what had just happened. Where did Jungsu hyung think of that lie so quickly? You then remembered that Kangin was still glaring at you, so you quickly looked up and tried to give him what you hoped was a sheepish smile.
“Ryeowook, let’s go! I think some of the girls are back at their dorm!”
And with that, Eeteuk dragged you out, not giving Kangin a chance to even decide what had just happened.

“Phew! That was close! Youngwoon looked so mad!”
“Hyung! How can you look so happy about that?! Youngwoon hyung looked like he was ready to kill me!”“
Pfft. Youngwoon won’t kill the eternal magnae, especially not with me around.”
“If you insist, Hyung.” You weren’t too sure he could believe Eeteuk’s words.
You sighed again. What predicament have I managed to get myself into?!

“Ryeowook-ah! You’d better wake up. Don’t you have to go for more recordings today?”
You rubbed his eyes at the sound of Sungmin’s gentle voice. “Mmmmhmmm.”
You felt the weight on your bed suddenly lift up, obviously Sungmin returning to whatever he had been doing whilst you had slept.
You slowly got out of bed, yawning all the while. You rubbed his eyes a few more times, grabbed your glasses and slowly walked towards the bathroom. You walked in, yawning yet again, not even noticing that you weren’t alone.
“Hyung, you’re up late today.”
You looked up to see Kyuhyun fixing his hair in the mirror, not even able to see that you had arrived yet still able to know that you had.
Your eyes lingered on the mirror and you suddenly yelped. Fleeing back into your room, you noticed that you had forgotten your face mask.
That was a close call. Thank goodness Kyuhyun was busy doing his hair or else Jungsu hyung would have come hunting for you.
You walked back into the bathroom, noticing that as you entered, Kyuhyun cocked one eyebrow at you, silently asking you for an explanation.
You pretended not to notice and began to get ready for the day.

“That was brilliant, gege! We’re almost done, can you believe it? I’m so excited! Our second album is almost done!”
You looked at the excited boy standing at your side. You shook your head as Donghae suddenly joined in and began dancing around with Henry in tow. You still wonder how anyone could hate Henry or even dislike him in any way. You shook your head once more before walking down to a chair in the other room.
The only other occupant of the room was Kyuhyun. “Where’s the rest of the members, Kyu?”
Kyuhyun just shrugged his shoulders at you, not even taking his eyes off his laptop.
A smile graced your lips when you saw GameKyu in action.
As if the other members had heard your question, Hangeng, Siwon and Zhou Mi walked into the room. Hangeng and Zhou Mi conversing in rapid chinese with Siwon looking as if he was failing in understanding them. Your smile grew wider.
Siwon noticed that you were also in the room and immediately crossed the room faster to join you, relief spread across his face at finally able to talk and understand someone completely.
“Ryeowook, are you okay? Why are you wearing a face mask? You were fine yesterday.”
You noticed from the corner of your eye that Hangeng and Zhou Mi had stopped talking and were looking at you, the same query on their eyes.
You shrugged. “I wasn’t feeling too well last night so I thought I should put a face mask on for precaution. I don’t want to cause all of you to be sick too in the case that I am.”
Siwon just nodded before changing the subject to asking you how your recording went with Henry before. You mentally sighed to yourself. This is going to be a very long week.
What you hadn’t noticed was that the 5^th silent occupant of the room, busy killing various monsters on his laptop was smiling to himself, wondering when the rest of the members would find out your little secret. He could have told them but he thought it was much more fun to watch Kangin go mad whenever you and Eeteuk hyung escaped to fix your “secret”. Or better yet. Maybe he could plan something else in return.

Recording for SJM’s 2^nd album lasted for another 2 hours. When it finally ended and you stepped out of the recording studio, you stretched out your arms before climbing into the van, ready to go back to the dorm.
Sorry sorry sorry sorry naega naega naega ...
You quickly grabbed your phone out of your pocket to read the text message on there.

From: Sungminnie hyung

I know your secret ^^v

You gasped out loud. Oh no!!! Everyone turned around in their seat to look at you in surprise. All but one, but of course you didn’t see his smirk. He was seated behind you after all.

“JUNGSU HYUNG!!!!!!!”
“Yes, Ryeowook?”
You didn’t know what to say suddenly so you just took out your phone and showed him Sungmin’s text message.
His eyebrows knit up in his forehead. “Hmm. Seems we have a bit of a problem.” He was silent for a little longer before stating calming, “Guess we’ll have to go silence him.”
You looked at him wildly. “What?! We’re going to WHAT?!”
“Silence Sungmin,” he stated calmly again.
“W-w-what?!”
“Aw come on, Wookie. I know you’re not deaf so you can hear me.”
“Umm... how are we going to “silence” Sungmin?”
He smiled angelically. How he smiled so angelically, you wouldn’t ever know because the next words out of his mouth made you stand there gaping at him.
“We’re going to kidnap him.”

“Hi, hyung!”
“Hi, Sungmin! Ryeowook showed me the text message.”
“Ohhh!”
You stood there in the hall of your dorm, gaping once again at your two hyungs. They were facing each other, grinning like mad cats. You were beyond baffled. You begin to wonder if all the stress from all their schedules lately had perhaps affected their mentalities.
“Anyways, because it’s still a secret from everyone else. We’re going to have to kidnap you, Sungmin.”
You couldn’t believe your ears. You could have just sworn that Eeteuk hyung had told Sungmin of his kidnapping plans. You refused to acknowledge your agreement to participate in the plan. You firmly believed it was all Eeteuk’s idea and that he’ll just do it on his own.
“Oh but hyung, I know martial arts.” You rubbed your eyes just a bit, to make sure you didn’t really need to get your eyes checked. You looked at them again. They were still smiling at each other. That’s it! You suddenly decided. They’ve gone insane. Perhaps you need to check them both into mental hospitals soon.
“Ryeowook, what are you doing standing there? Come here and help me.”
“You know, Hyung, I could always help you out.”
“Oh?”
“You know, help cover up for when you and Ryeowook have to do your ‘stuff’.”
Eeteuk started clapped his hands. “That’s an awesome idea! Now we have someone on our side.” He suddenly glared back at Sungmin, menace showing in his eyes whilst he still smiled his dimple smile. “But tell anyone... and I’ll make sure our next comeback will be painful for you, Sungmin-ah.”
You suddenly decided that this side of Eeteuk was the scariest.

You flopped onto your bed, glad that this week was almost over. You had no idea how you managed to survive the week. What with Kangin cornering you every chance he got to bombard you with questions until Sungmin was able to intervene and drag you away.
You kept having the nagging feeling at the back of your mind that something didn’t quite seem right. You had no idea what but it just didn’t seem right. You shook your head.
Of course it didn’t seem right. After all, what you just spent the whole week doing was weird enough for you. You still had no idea why or even how Eeteuk hyung came up with this idea. All you knew was that you couldn’t wait for tonight to be over.
“Dinner’s ready!”
You got up and strolled out of the room into the living room where all the members had gathered for a feasting tonight. Your mouth started watering at the amount of food that was on the tables.
You sat down, next to Kyuhyun who happened to be sitting next to Eeteuk.
You glanced over at Eeteuk, who had already begun to devour the food without caring whether the rest of the members were there or not. You wondered how he managed to eat so easily and without worrying about his face mask getting in the way.
You decided to wait more patiently. He was after all the leader, not you.
Slowly, everyone started to trickle in and seated themselves and began to eat. You joined in, trying to make sure you ate without letting your secret split out now. It was uncomfortable you decided. Why couldn’t Eeteuk have decided to reveal it now instead? You wanted to enjoy the food but trying to manoeuvre the food without causing the face mask to displace was hard.
You glanced over at Eeteuk hyung again. How did he do that?!
You sighed and turned back to your food deciding that you really will never figure Eeteuk hyung out.
Once again you never noticed the sly look that glinted across the magnae’s eyes as he watched you out of the corner of his eyes. Nor would you have noticed the almost evil aura radiating out of him. One that almost rivalled Eeteuk’s if you had sat down and thought about it.
Dinner didn’t last much longer. With 15 mouths, no amount of food on the table was enough to last for long.
Kyuhyun suddenly got to his feet. “I’ll bring dessert out.”
Several heads snapped up. “Dessert?!”
Kyuhyun nodded as he proceeded to the kitchen. He came back out with a big square box.
You eyed it, licking your lips, hoping it was the chocolate cake you’ve suddenly decided you want.
Kyuhyun sat back down in his seat next to you, carefully moving the box so it was able to sit on the table right in front of him. He then carefully took the lid off the box and you almost fainted.
Inside the box was a cake. Oh it was a chocolate cake alright. But what made you almost faint was what the cake was in the shape of.
You didn’t even register the fact that your face mask had been snapped off by the quick fingered magnae.
Laughter burst out from every side of the table.
You couldn’t stop staring at the cake. You slowly lifted your eyes, seeing the same shock mirrored on your hyung’s face. You suddenly notice that he wasn’t wearing his face mask. You lifted up a hand to touch the face mask on your face only to realise it wasn’t there anymore.
All around you, the rest of the members were on their stomachs laughing their heads off. Someone had taken a camera out and was snapping pictures of both you and Eeteuk hyung and the cake. If you had paid attention, you might have noticed that the camera that was flashing everywhere was pink.
You looked back down at the cake. The cake was in the shape of two long dark coloured moustaches that if on someone’s face would frame both sides of their face. Most surprising was the picture of you and Eeteuk on it. A picture of you two that had obviously been either photo-shopped or secretly taken when you were asleep. A picture of the two of you with the exact same moustache as the cake itself. A picture that seemed to mirror both of your own looks at that instance.
Eeteuk turned to Kyuhyun and then to Sungmin. “AISH!!! You two planned this, didn’t you?!”
Kyuhyun just grinned. "Well we thought since you two decided to be sneaking, we did too. Wasn't all that hard to figure out. Especially seeing the hair growth products in the rubbish bin."
"Don't tell me this is what you've been hiding from us all week, Jungsu-hyung and Ryeowook!" Kangin managed to gasp out.
"Do you know how ridiculous you two look?!" Heechul said amongst streams of tears as he clutched his stomach unable to stop laughing.
You groaned to yourself before burying your face in your hands.
The next time Eeteuk hyung ever suggested that you both grow moustaches, you will not listen to him. EVER.

The truth hidden amongst those around you. The truth never far from your eyes. Let your heart decide and it will lead you to the truth.
Prince Hankyung’s life is about to be turned upside down. Kim Heechul is about to do something he may end up regretting. But what will the truth bring them? Heartache or happiness?

Author's Notes: Sorry for the late update. Uni ate me up. Lisa - sorry I couldn't keep that promise ^^;; But I'm only a day late!!!! xD I hope everyone enjoys this =] I'll try to update more often ^^;
Ew and sry about the changing fonts T_T LJ doesn't seem to like me much

Previous Chapters: Prologue

“Heechul!” I turned around, trying to locate the source of the voice. Why am I hearing that voice here? I shook my head, turned back around and continued walking.
“Ouch!” I swung around, ready to yell at whoever had hit my shoulder. Right in front of me, was a roughly dressed young lad with short messy black hair, doubled over, trying to catch his breath. I raised my eyebrows. Not anyone would have been able to recognise the ragmuffin in disguise but he couldn’t fool me. I’d be able to recognise him anywhere in anything.

And who exactly was this ragmuffin? Well none other than the Crown Prince of Korea! Who also happens to my best friend. And the one I fell in love with when I was 5.
Prince Hankyung. The Heir of Korea. The one destined to be King. My first and only love.
I waited for him to catch his breath before I dragged him into a side street.
"Well?"
He looked at me, throwing me a broad smile.
"Your father is going to kill you," I stated, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Nope. He won't. Otherwise Korea will be heir-less."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Hankyung, you really ought to stop doing this."
He just looekd at me and laughed. Bowing down a whole 90 degrees in front of me, "Yes, your royal highness."
I threw up my hands and stalked off. I noted that there were soft footsteps following me, obviously Prince Hankyung but I refused to turn around to acknowledge him.
Why does he keep doing this? He probably doesn’t even know that his father actually knew he came out on such outings and he had about two dozen guards following him in disguise. Or that I had been specifically ordered to make sure he stayed out of trouble whenever he attempted his “escapades”. But still... why does he do this? Sure it was fun when we were younger. But he’s older now. He should be more aware of his duties. What would happen to Korea if something was to happen to him, heaven forbid the thought. What would I do without him? Not that he needed to know that last part, of course.
Still immersed in my thoughts, I hadn't noticed that Hankyung was now strolling by my side.
"Food for your thought?"
I jumped. “You scared me! And when did you get that?!”
He shrugged. “Whilst you were busy muttering to yourself and walking through the streets almost smashing into everyone.”
I looked at him, indignant. “I did not smash into anyone!”
He smiled sweetly. “Of course not. That’s because everyone avoided you when you walked through. They’re all afraid of the Heechul Temper.”
I flipped my hair but continued on walking, this time more alert, casually watching everyone around me.
Hankyung just laughed but thankfully enough, he didn’t say anything. He knew me far too well. As well as I knew him that I didn’t need to ask what he was laughing at to understand.
A smile ghosted upon my lips but I refused to let it show, otherwise he’d ask what I was smiling to myself about. Not something I could exactly explain to him.
I’m sure if I did say it out loud, he’d probably run in fright. It’s not like everyday you’d hear your best friend suddenly tell you that he loves you. And what makes it even worse... we’re both guys! And on top of that, he’s the heir to the Kingdom of Korea. Not only would two guys being together be frowned upon, the mere thought is frown upon in this day and age. But how could I help myself? He was everything I longed to be. Handsome, always happy, strong-willed, gentle, determined... Qualities I had admired a lot over the years we’ve known each other. As well as I’m sure everyone in Korea would expect the heir to well... produce more heirs!
“Heechul?”
“Huh?”
“Are you okay? You’re spacing out again. Normally you don’t space out that much. I hadn’t even spoken to you about anything boring yet and you’re already spacing out.”
“Mmmmm. I’m fine. Just have a lot on my mind.”
He grinned. “You mean all those pretty faces your mother keeps introducing you to. Pretty faces and pretty legs, I might add. Found the one you want yet?”
“Hannie!!!” I reverted back to using my old childhood nickname for him.
“What? I’m entitled to have a glance, aren’t I? I mean I’m your best friend. I’d want to make sure you got a pretty lady for yourself.” He swung his left arm across my shoulder.
Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Heart, oh, heart, please calm thyself down.
No matter how many times he’d do that, my heart would not stop beating like crazy. Even after all these years.
I sighed and then belatedly remember I was with Hankyung and he surely would have heard. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, trying to take note of his expression.
He looked so lively, so happy, with that carefree smile on his face that I loved to see.
“Guess none of the girls matched up to Oh Mighty Heechul’s standards? Seriously, Heechul, you should try seriously looking. All those girls your mother found for you are some of the most eligible girls in the kingdom. Heck, I wouldn’t mind bedding one or two of them myself!”
“Take them if you want then!” I shook his arm off and stalked off again, angry more at myself than him. Why should it matter so much how many girls he wanted to bed? It was his every right. It was meant to be. The kingdom needs this. But I just couldn’t help myself. It hurt too much to even think about it. I couldn’t imagine the very thought of Hankyung with a girl. A girl he’d take to his bed every night. The thought was just too much for me.
“Whoa! I was just kidding. You know I wouldn’t do that.” He winked at me, coming to a stop.
I scowled and attempted to continue walking until Hankyung stopped me.
“Let me go!” I growled, softly.
“Are you sure? You’re just about to walk into the palace gates.”
I looked up and realised with a start that I had indeed just about walked into the palace gates. I hadn’t even noticed we were so close to the Royal Palace. I guess my feet just took me onto the same familiar route I walked almost every day.
I sighed and turned back towards Hankyung. “Guess I’ll see you again tomorrow, ragmuffin. And next time, please don’t come out as a ragmuffin. I don’t need you ruining my reputation by having gossip spreading through Korea that I walk around the streets with a ragmuffin.”
He grinned and slipped through the gates. “Sure you won’t come in?”
I narrowed my eyes and glared at him. “Why do you keep asking this question? It’s almost nightfall. You know my parents don’t like me out after nightfall.”
“I know, I know. They don’t want you to be tainted or whatever it is.”
I began to turn away from the gates on my way home when I heard him whisper my name.
“Heechul, saranghae.”
I stood, rooted on the spot, staring at him. The image of those words coming out of his lips, along with the little heart he did with his hands embedded in my mind.
I watched him poke his tongue at me, then skipped away, waving his hand over my head back towards me in farewell.
Falling in love with someone who did spontaneous things like that, things that he thinks are harmless but make you think your heart will suddenly burst from the over-activity, made you seem so tired. Will he ever know how much of an effect he had on you?
I sighed to myself and slowly turned around, beginning to the long trudge home, having refused any sort of transportation earlier on and regretting it now.
Why must life be so complicated? If only I had been born a girl, then things would have been nice and simple. Instead, I get stuck with just feminine looks... and this curse.

“Heechul! Hurry up!”
“Yes, umma. I’m coming.”
“Will you please hurry up?”
“I’m coming, alright! I’m coming!!!”
“Aish. It’s not like anyone would walk in anyways. Not when they know this area is completely closed off. No one would risk coming in here anyways. Especially with your dragon breath around.” I muttered to myself.
“Master Heechul, please do hurry. Madam will get even more impatient and we’ll be blamed.”
“Jungsu, I know, I know. I’m going.”
“Ok, Master. Rest well. Just ring for me in the morning when you’re ready.”
“Aish. How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me Master?! It’s just Heechul, alright? Not to mention, you’re older than me! You’re like an older brother to me!”
“Master, please don’t start this again. I can’t possibly do that.”
I rolled my eyes and just continued walking. Park Jungsu, you’re never going to change, are you?
I smiled a little to myself before I walked into my room, ready to await my mother to lock the doors. To await the curse to befall its predicament upon me, the 13^th heir of the Kim family. The one destined to feel the full burden of this curse, laid down exactly 13 generations ago, when my foolish relatives angered a fairy.

The truth hidden amongst those around you. The truth never far from your eyes. Let your heart decide and it will lead you to the truth.

Prince Hankyung’s life is about to be turned upside down. Kim Heechul is about to do something he may end up regretting. But what will the truth bring them? Heartache or happiness?

Author's Notes: I've been wanting to write a fanfic for a while now but nothing has really come to me. I do have to beg everyone's forgiveness because I sometimes update really slowly if I cannot get enough inspiration ><
Also comments and feedback are total love <3 Hopefully I will get chapter 1 up in the next day or so =]

Has anyone ever asked if you believe in love at first sight? If someone had asked me, I would have to say I do. Why? Because I've been in love with him since I first laid eyes on him when being presented to him as his new playmate.
I remember the shy, tentative smile he gave me when our mothers introduced us to each other. I remember bouncing to his side, not aware that protocol called that I bow to the prince and being scolded by my mother. I remmeber the queen putting her hand on my mother's arm, telling her it's fine. Kids will be kids. I remember demanding he show me around and staring awestruck as we toured the huge palace.
What I remembered most was the feeling of his small, soft hand in mine as we walked through the palace to his designated play area. And the happy, childish smile on his face when he was explaining to me all the different toys he had.
I was only 5 at the time, but I think I had fallen in love
But I couldn't do anything about it. He was the prince... the crown prince. And I? The son of one of the many noblemen of the country. Not only would a relationship between us be forbidden and rejected if it were ever possible for him to return my feelings. But I was cursed. My foolish family had angered a fairy years before my birth.
If only I had been born a girl. Things might have been different.

Emergency Reasons

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:37:59 GMT

Ok I really suck at not talking to people...so instead I ask my beloved friends...if you do want to poke me for whatever reason, please consult this list to see if you can poke me or not or else I WILL GET MAD!

Things I consider emergency enough that you should poke me on msn...

1. If something is happening at M.13 that requires my attention ASAP
- This includes files that are ready for FC and I haven't received them yet
- Someone's gone missing and I need to track them down
- Missing files that are needed right that instant
- Scary admin work >.>

2. If there is important SJ news which involve the following
- NEW MV release
- NEW song release
- BIG NEWS - ie something majorly happening with SJ - as in break up, dropping out, accidents [I do pray no one will annoy me on msn for this >.>]
- Otherwise if there's SJ news you do wish to share to me...email me or drop a comment here...I'll read it...eventually

3. Something's happening to one of the M.13'ers [I also pray this won't happen]
- in the case that something does, please text me >.> Most of you girls have my number

Ok so that's all I can think of right now >.> I will edit this list if something needs to be added.
And yes I am incredibly insane but I really don't need any distractions atms and people tend to ignore my msn nickname...I have MSN on in case of emergencies and also if someone desperately needs to talk to me or whatever or if my ninja'ing doesn't seem to be working.

If anyone needs to contact me - email me [lil_aqua_chic@hotmail.com] or if you're from M.13 or SJ*FH, drop me a PM, I check both forums constantly.

And in the case that I do poke someone...which I know I will do often, ignore me please, especially if I decide I need to spazz about SJ T_T seriously someone here needs to take away all my media files somehow *sighs*

And don't say I didn't warn you...I get rly cranky when I'm stressed...so if you've read and STILL poke me for reasons that ARENT on that list, be prepared to be yelled at or completely ignored. If I get sidetracked by you...I will seek revenge

I AM NOT INSANE...I just have no self control and I really hope all of you, my beloved friends, will assist me this way in my studies.

Lily~

Note: The song at the start is "Our Love" by Super Junior

Chapter 6

Feel it with your heart
Of how much of it is filled with me
Tell me with those lips
That you've loved me for a long time
Even though we get into little fights when we see each other
We make up afterwards and I turn around and smile to myself
The birds are murmuring, the flowers are whispering
I think they're jealous of our love

Tears sprung to my eyes. This song…

Another night staring at the star-filled sky.
“I always wondered…why are the stars so bright?”
“Hmmm…are they really that bright? Because all I can see is this star shining in front of me.”
The girl cheekily said to her boyfriend.
Laughing, he responded, “Oh really? If it that’s case, then I’m definitely blinded by your sheer beauty.”
She turned around and pinched his cheeks. They continued teasing each other for a while longer.
He started chasing her around the beach until they were finally tired and stood still.
He dropped his head slightly, mumbling, “I actually wanted to sing you this song I wrote.”

“Feel it with your heart
Of how much of it is filled with me
Tell me with those lips
That you've loved me for a long time
Even though we get into little fights when we see each other
We make up afterwards and I turn around and smile to myself
The birds are murmuring, the flowers are whispering
I think they're jealous of our love.”

She was left speechless. He walked up to her and grabbed her hands in both of his. Pulling her closer, he kissed her, slowly at first.
The next thing she knew, she was kissing him back.
Then he began to kiss her faster and with more vigour. She responded with as much fervour.
Finally breaking apart, they stood there panting.
She was at a loss of words, as was he.
She thought that whoever said the first kiss was such a sweet memory was obviously not explaining enough.
That kiss was…intense.
He stared at her, intently. The look in his eyes almost made her gasp. It was filled with the energy she had felt from their kiss.
After a few minutes of standing there, staring at each other, he pulled her closer again. This time kissing her softly and slowly but still with the same love she had felt earlier. She melted into his embrace.

“And that was Lee Donghae’s latest song, Our Love. A song that was almost 9 years in the making and entirely composed and written by Donghae himself. Now, we all know that Donghae’s wedding is tomorrow…perhaps this song is one dedicated to.”
Brushing the tears away from my eyes quickly, I got up from her table and went to turn off the radio.
Coming back to sit in my chair, I sighed. So he finally released that song. I suppose it’s no longer “our song”. I guess I shouldn’t expect it to be.
Looking at the calendar on my table, I noticed the circle around tomorrow’s date. Donghae’s wedding. Sighing again, I turned my gaze away from it. There’s nothing I can do about it. Looking at the ring on my finger and the photo of me and Kyuhyun on my table, I mentally kicked myself for still thinking of Donghae.
Looking at that picture of me and Kyuhyun again, I smiled. His smile was so broad across his face. Smiling to myself, I washed all thoughts of Donghae out of my mind.
It doesn’t matter what had happened between us before…it’s the past. All that matters is that I am happy…really, really happy with Kyuhyun now and Donghae is happy too.

“Are you ready yet, honey?”
“Almost!”
I grabbed my shoes and quickly walked out to the car. Kyuhyun opened the door for me and ushered me in. Then he got into the driver’s seat. Leaning over, he kissed me on the cheek. “You look absolutely amazing today.”
Giggling, I brushed him away from me. “We’re going to be late if you don’t start driving.”
“Yes, Ma’am!”
He started the engine and turned on the radio.
“Today is Asia’s rising star, Lee Donghae’s wedding. Wonder how big the turnout will be? It’s supposedly to be a big function. Well, again, considering it is Lee Donghae and Choi Maryanne, the one and only daughter of Choi Richard, owner of Korea’s biggest entertainment company. I suppose we’ll have to wait for the reports to come out before we can report anything, eh?”
The radio DJs rambled on before finally putting on a song.
Tapping his fingers and singing along, Kyuhyun continued to drive, whilst I sat there in deep thought.
Looking out the car window, I stared at the passing scenery.
“Liz dear…Liz…”
“Huh?” I turned around to see Kyuhyun attempting to look at me whilst focusing on the road.
“Are you okay? You seem quite spaced out today.”
“I’m fine. Just looking around.”
“You absolutely sure? You know…you really don’t have to go today.”
Shaking my head, I answered, “No, I’m okay, really. Hey! This is an excuse for me to dress up and go show off my wonderful husband, I ain’t letting you off the hook!”
Laughing, he continued to drive.

“Wow. That is a LOT of cars.”
I just nodded. There really were a lot of cars. I guess that’s what happen at celebrity weddings. And leading business’s men’s daughter’s weddings.
We were directed to continue driving where we finally got out of the car and one of the valets drove our car off.
We wandered into the hall. Everything was so grandly decorated. I suppose, we couldn’t expect anything less.
Reporters were everywhere as were their flashing cameras.
“Oh! Liz, you came!”
He appeared right before my eyes. Nothing about him has changed, except perhaps he’d lost a bit of weight. His cheeks looked more sunken in. I tried not to frown but that was not a good sign. He obviously hadn’t been sleeping well and he always had a hard time getting to sleep. And those eyebags that couldn’t even be covered up by makeup.
“Yeah. We came.” Kyuhyun’s voice cut into my thoughts.
Donghae whipped around, staring into Kyuhyun’s face. He frowned slightly, before turning back to me. Taking me by the shoulder, he gave me a hug. “I’m so happy you came, Liz,” he whispered into my ear. “You look absolutely gorgeous today.” In an even lower voice, “we really need to talk. I’ve missed you.”
Taken aback, I withdrew from his embrace.
He smiled at me. “Welcome again! Enjoy yourselves. Refreshments are in the next room.” Then he turned to greet more guests.
I frowned slightly.
“What’s wrong?” I looked at Kyuhyun.
I smiled again. “Nothing. Come on, let’s go grab those refreshments!”
We grabbed some drinks before wandering out into the garden.
“Oh wow. It’s gorgeous out here. And the weather is so lovely today.”
Sipping his drink, “Yeah, it really is.”
A few guys from Kyuhyun’s office spotted him and immediately assailed him. I motioned to Kyuhyun that I was going to wander around for a bit. He nodded slightly, before continuing his conversation.
I wandered around the fountain and continued out towards the gardens. The flowers were gorgeous. In full bloom and everything. And it was much quieter here than in the heat of the party. I found a nearby bench and sat down, sipping my wine whilst staring out at the surrounding flowers.
“So this is where you are.”
I looked up. Standing before me was Donghae, panting as if he had run here.
“You…what…where you looking for me!?”

Chapter 5

My eyes snapped open, waking to tears damp on my cheeks. I slowly lifted myself up until I was sitting in bed.
Grabbing a tissue from the tissue box beside my bed, I quickly wiped away the tears.
I carefully got out of bed, careful not to disturb Kyuhyun, who was peacefully sleeping with a serene smile on his lips.
I grabbed my dressing gown and went to sit on the balcony, breathing in the quiet, cool air.
Looking out at the stars, I suddenly remembered all the times I had stared out at them with Donghae.

Sitting on the beach, they stared at the night sky.
The girl had her knees drawn to her chest and her head resting on top of them. He sat by her side, lounging outstretched on the sand. It was really quiet except for only the sounds of the waves slapping against each other.
“The stars are sure pretty tonight.”
“Hmm.”
He turned to look at his girlfriend. Her silky black hair fanning across her face, slghtly waving to the soft winds. She was slightly tensed and nervous.
It was after all, only a week since they’d been together and he still couldn’t believe she agreed to go out with him.
He remembered when she had arrived at their high school. The shy girl who already had dozens of guys chasing after her. He didn’t think he stood a chance and ended up sulking in the library.
It was at that time that he bumped into her and soon they developed a close friendship.
Smiling to himself, he reached over and grabbed her hand. Surprised, she glanced at him, blushing.
Seeing his smiling face, she slowly relaxed.
Looking back towards the sky, she whispered, “It really is pretty tonight.”
He gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “We should come here more often. It’s almost as gorgeous as you.”
Blushing furiously, she was glad there wasn’t enough light for him to see that.
He scooted closer to her and put his arm around her shoulder.
She tensed at first but as time passed and he didn’t let go, she finally allowed herself to relax into his embrace.
They continued staring at the sky before he suddenly leapt up.
“Ahhhh, this night is too good to waste!”
“Huh?”
He bent down and lifted her up, carrying her towards the water.
Squealing, “What are you doing? Let me down!”
Laughing, he spun her around then dumped her into the water.
Spitting water, she rose to the surface and glared at him.
Scared that he’d angered her, he knelt in the water to help her up. “Sorry, Liz. I was just playing…”
Splash!
Splashing water everything, he struggled to get back to the surface, and stared at her, disbelievingly.
Standing in the water, with water dripping down her hair and her hands on her hips. “HA! Got you good!”
“Oh, is that so?” He leapt up and began chasing her.

Sighing, I rose to walk back inside. Turning around, I saw Kyuhyun standing in the doorway, eyes glued to the night sky.
As if he had felt my gaze, his eyes shifted to me, immediately warming up with a glint of love.
He walked out to me and hugged me tightly. “Baby, it’s cold. Come inside.”
Nodding, I let him draw me back inside.

“Honey, it’s time to wake up. Don’t you have to be at the hospital early today for a meeting?”
Slowly opening my eyes, I stared into my husband’s face.
“Meeting? OH YEAH!” I leapt out of bed, frantically grabbing my clothes.
“Calm down. You’ve got an hour left.”
“Oh.” Glancing at the clock on the dressing table, I saw that it was only 6 o’clock.
Sitting on the bed, Kyuhyun stared intently at me. “You won’t be home till late tonight, rights?”
Nodding, I walked into the bathroom, grabbing my clothes at the same time.

The usual routines. The usual busy day. The usual people coming in and out. The usual massive work load and stress.
Sighing as I sat down in my chair in my office, I glanced at the clock. 4pm.
I hadn’t had a single break since arriving this morning.
Rubbing my temples, I turned on my computer
Checking my inbox, I saw that Donghae had emailed me.
Frowning and tempted to delete it, I hesitantly opened it to read.
“Liz, I’m really happy you can come to my wedding. Here are the details.”
I quickly scanned through the details. Well, that’s certain a wedding celebration for a rising star. At least I won’t have to face him much.

As soon as she was out of him, she pelted down the streets, tears still streaming down her face, more than before.
She reached her car, and fumbled for the key before diving inside and burying her head on the steering wheel.
She swiped at her eyes, then turned the engine on. Driving around aimlessly, she somehow ended up at the café. Parking her car, she stared at it. Why did she end up here?
Frowning to herself, she grabbed her purse and got out of the car.
“OH! Hello. Usual table?”
She nodded.
She sat down at her usual table. She stared, gloomily, at the vacant seat across from her.
“Liz! What are you doing here at this time?”
She looked up. Kyuhyun was staring at her in surprise.
Her eyes immediately watered and her tears just poured out.
Kyuhyun looked inside at his manager, confused at what to do. His manager shrugged at him.
He knelt down, awkwardly. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Unable to speak, she just kept crying.
He stared at her, before he gathered her in his arms and patted her back soothingly.

Chapter 4

”What do you mean, you have to leave?”
“I told you already. My grandfather is ill and I have to accompany them.”
“Yeah. Accompany them…more like accompany that…that woman!”
“I told you before! There’s nothing between the two of us!”
“Yeah. Her being lovesick over you is totally nothing.”
“How many times do I need to repeat myself?”
“Your entire family look down on our relationship. You’re a potential rising star. Me? I’m just a simple office clerk.”
“I told you…they don’t think that. You’re studying hard, too. They can see that!”
“Oh yeah. The contempt in their eyes so show that.”
Throwing his hands in the air, the guy exclaimed, “You don’t even listen, do you?!”
“Listen to what? Your lies? Your cover-up stories? Gods…I’m so tired of all this. Everyday I work in that goddamn office whilst still studying to be a doctor. And all for what? To prove to your grandparents that I’m worthy!”

“Hello?”
“Um…hi.”
Silence. An uncomfortable silence. Kyuhyun looked at me, quizzically. I froze. What do I do? What do I say?
“I…um…why are you calling me?”
“Er…Liz…um…I…did you hear the news?”
“News? Er…yes…I…um…just saw it.”
Kyuhyun sat there, staring at me, frowning.
“Congratulations.”
“Oh…thanks. I … just wanted to invite you to the wedding.”
Surprised, I didn’t know what to say.
“Are you still there, Liz?” came the voice from the other line after several moments of silence.
“Uh…sure.”
“Good. I’ll call you later with more details.”
I quickly hung up the phone, my heart still pounding.
Kyuhyun just sat there, staring intently at me, as if waiting for me to speak.
I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I grabbed the glass of water sitting on the table and gulped it down, almost choking.
Getting out of his seat, Kyuhyun moved behind me and patted my back.
He suddenly put his arms around my neck as I stopped coughing, leaning his chin on my left shoulder. “Are you okay, baby?”
I nodded.
“Who called?”
“Donghae.”
I could feel Kyuhyun tensing up.
I gently removed his arms from around my neck and stood up.
Looking at his face, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.
The downcast look in his eyes, the one he tried to hide but failed miserably.
I walked up to him and put my arms around his waist.
“He… invited me to his wedding.”
I could feel Kyuhyun tensing up even more.
“Do you think I should go?”
An awkward silence fell between us before Kyuhyun managed to mutter out from his gritted teeth, “If you want.”
Lifting my head, I stared at him, willing all the love I felt for him to show in my eyes. “Well, it would be rude to turn him down…”
He frowned, still refusing to look at me.
“…so I suppose I should just bring my handsome husband with me to show off to everyone.”
Surprised, he looked at me. The sadness in his eyes dying and suddenly filling with surprise. Laughing out loud, he hugged me tightly.
I laughed as well. “Did you think I’d go alone?”
He laughed again, before kissing me.
Breaking away, I laughed again. “Perhaps we should eat before the food goes cold.”
Looking at our dinner, he grabbed the dishes and rushed back into the kitchen.
“Kyu!!! What are you doing?”
Shouting back, “I can’t have my wife eating cold food! Give me a few minutes.”
Smiling to myself, I sat back down.
Was this the right thing to do? My heart was still pounding. How will I react to seeing him face-to-face after all those years?
Had he forgiven me yet?

”Why are you doing this?! WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Looking at him coldly, I whispered through gritted teeth, “I told you already. It’s over. I can’t take this anymore. I no longer love you. I can’t keep lying to you and I can’t keep lying to myself.”
Spinning around, I walked away from him, tears streaming silently down my face.
“LIZ! That’s not true! IT’S NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Thump.
I steeled myself and straightened my shoulders. Wiping my eyes, I spun around and glared at him, crying on his knees. “It’s true. Live with it.”

Chapter 3

“Hello?”
“Donghae, where are you?”
“I’m at my grandparent’s house.”
“Oh. I thought you were busy with work today. Why are you suddenly there?”
“My grandfather’s ill.”
“Oh no. Is he ok now? Do you want me to cover over?”
“No, no, it’s fine. He’s sleeping now. Um…”
“Yes?”
“Nothing. Just…I’ll see you tonight, ok?”
“Sure.”
“Bye.”

Today, like always, was a tiring one. One emergency after another. I had no more time to dwell on the past, thankfully.
Getting out of the hospital, I went to my car. Climbing inside, I suddenly imagined Kyuhyun putting on my seatbelt for me. Touching my lips, I remembered him.
That sweet guy. I still feel fortunate to have met him.
He was the one who pulled me through that mess.
I vowed to myself, I would make a good wife to him. He’s the one and only guy for me.
Looking at my hand as I drove, I admired the wedding ring on my finger.
I smiled as the memory of our wedding day came back to me.
“I’d never forget the day I met you, Liz. I was a mere waiter whilst you were the angel that gods had sent to sit at the very café I worked. I watched you day after day. The angelic face of yours lighting up my world, making my tiresome day melt away. Knowing how much you’ve been through, I promise you, I’d never let you feel that pain again. I will bring you the happiness and joy you deserve.”
Holding his hands to his heart, “I swear on this very altar, I’ll never ever let you feel pain again. I promise to be forever the one who stays by your side, no matter how hard. I’d be the umbrella to protect you through the rainy days, the tree that protects you through the sunny days, the shoulder you can forever rely on.”
And not once since that day, have I felt anything but happiness. Kyuhyun not only kept his promise, he bought me more than that. I couldn’t ask for anything more, but … he deserves more. He deserves much more and I promise to give him that!
With a new resolve, I drove home.

Parking my car outside our house, I suddenly felt my door open. Looking up in surprise, I saw the beaming face of my husband.
“Welcome…”
I jumped out of the car and threw my arms around him, kissing him vigorously.
He lifted me up and carried my inside the house, never letting our embrace break.
Inside the house, we stood there in the doorway, kissing like there was no tomorrow.
Finally, we broke apart.
Breathing hard, “That was unexpected. Everything alright?”
Putting my arms around his waist and leaning my head into his chest. I stood like that for several minutes.
Looking down at me, he smiled. Holding my closer, he laid a kiss on my head.
I leaned up to whisper into his ear. “You know, you are one amazing guy.”
Turning his face to look at me, he raised his eyebrows at me.
Smiling, I kissed him again, softly.
Touching his hand to my forehead. “Are you sure you’re feeling alright? I mean, I love what you just did, but…that was unexpected.”
Moving backwards, out of his embrace, I put my hands on my hip and glared at him. “So what? Now I can’t come home and kiss my husband?”
With that, I spun around and walked off, pretending to be angry but trying to control my laughter.
Alarmed, he swiftly ran to me and tugged my arm. “Liz! That’s not what I meant.”
I continued walking, trying very hard to stifle my giggles.
“Liz!!! Don’t be angry. I’m sorry.”
I couldn’t control myself anymore, I burst into laughter.
I turned around to see the puzzled look on his face. Walking closer to him, I cupped my hands around his face and kissed him again.
“Oh my silly, wonderful, amazing husband.”
He couldn’t help but burst into laughter himself. Putting his arms around my waist, he pulled me closer and kissed me back, but deeper and longer.
He trailed kisses across my cheek and onto my neck then moved back up along my cheeks and finally kissing my ears. Whispering into them, “Maybe we should go somewhere more…comfortable.”
Nodding, unable to speak, I let him drag me towards our bedroom, all the while he held onto me tightly, kissing me constantly.
He hugged me tightly, lifting me off the ground and carried me into the bedroom, our lips still interlocked.
“Hmm…didn’t you just prepare dinner? Maybe we should eat first.”
Unbuttoning my shirt, he murmured back, “It can wait. This can’t.”
He kissed me again, stopping me from protesting.

I opened my eyes slowly and stared into the face of my husband. He looks so sweet sleeping there. So peaceful. I laid a kiss on his brow, then lifted his arms and slowly got out of bed.
I walked into the bathroom and into the shower. The warm water cascading down my back made me kind of drowsy and completely relaxed.
Suddenly a warm arm enclosed around my waist and soft lips touched my shoulders.
Smiling to myself, I continued to let the water fall over me.
I turned around and my lips met Kyuhyun’s.
He broke away from the embrace and looked at me, a twinkle in his eyes.
“What? What are you looking at?”
“You.”
He suddenly grabbed me and enveloped me in a crushing hug.
“Owie. You’re crushing me, honey.”
“I don’t wanna ever let you go. EVER!”
A soft sniffle could be heard. Turning my head slightly, I saw tears coming from Kyuhyun’s eyes.
“Why are you crying? What’s wrong?”
He shook his head.
“What’s wrong? Tell me.”
He looked at me and just kissed me. I kissed him back but after a few minutes, broke free. “Honey, what’s wrong?”
“I…I’m really happy. I’m truly happy tonight.”
Looking at him quizzically, he finally sighed and gave in. “I’ve been…worried that you hadn’t forgotten about…him.”
“What?”
“I sometimes felt…that you weren’t totally in love with me…that you hadn’t forgotten about him.”
“Oh, Kyu. I’ll admit…I haven’t forgotten about him. But…you are the only man in my life now. You are the only one I love and will forever love.”
I wiped away his tears. “You silly bumpkin.”
Smiling tentatively, “I may be a silly bumpkin, but you’re the one who married this silly bumpkin.”
Laughing, I kissed him.
“I think we should get out of the shower.”
“Yep. I want to taste the food that my sweet husband cooked for me.”
“OK. I’ll get out now and you follow in a bit, ok?”
He kissed me one last time and walked out of the shower. The water dripping down his shoulders and onto his chest, streaming down his legs. I stared at him thinking, how fortunate I am to have that body all to myself.
Kyuhyun walked, right after blowing me a kiss from the door.
Laughing, I let the water pour over myself for a few more minutes as I closed his eyes.
Unbidden images came to my mind.
“Come back here!”
“HAHA. See if you can catch me first!!!”
“HERE I COME!”
My eyes opened wide and I shook my head vigorously. I let the water pour over my face to wake myself up. NO! I can’t think of him anymore. NO! I have Kyu now.
Shaking my head once again, I walked out of the shower and dried myself and put some clothes on.

Walking out I could instantly smell the fragrant aroma of dinner.
Tiptoeing into the kitchen, I suddenly put my hands over Kyuhyun’s eyes.
“Guess who!”
Laughing, he turned around and kissed me.
Breaking of the kiss, I laughed. I sprang away from him, whilst he tried to advance on me.
We played a bit for a while before he suddenly remembered he was still cooking and he instantly turned back to the stove.
I walked up to him and put my arms around his waist and leaned onto his back. “What are you making? It smells so wonderful.”
“Your favourite…”
“OH! Yummy!”
“Go and set up the table. I’ll be done soon.”
“OK SIR!”

“Here we are.”
“Ohhhh it smells sooo nice!”
He bowed to me and pulled my chair out. “My lady, if you please?”
Laughing, I sat down as he placed a napkin on my lap.
He sat down in the chair next to me and started to place some food on my plate.
“I’m going to turn extremely lazy with you doing everything for me.”
“That’s okay with me. Serving my wife is my pleasure. I’d do more than just this for her,” he said, winking at me seductively.
“Hmmm, let me turn on the TV then.”
“Ok.”
I got up and grabbed the TV remote. Turning it on, the news blared out: “BIG news in the entertainment world. Asia’s rising male singer, Lee Donghae, has just announced his wedding date...”
Kyuhyun quickly glanced at me but I kept my face calm. I said as carelessly as I could. “Oh. So he’s finally decided on a date. Well, congratulations to him. I guess I married earlier than him…because I had found the most wonderful man in this world.”
Smiling at Kyuhyun, I changed the channel and walked back to the dining table.
Sitting myself down, I looked at Kyuhyun. He had a worried expression on his face.
Touching his face, I asked, “what’s the matter, baby?”
“Are you sure you’re ok?”
“Of course I am! I have you and that’s seriously all that matters to me. He’s my past…you’re my present and future.”
Ring ring.
“Hmm. Wonder who’s calling me at this hour. I hope it’s not the hospital.”
“Hello?”
“Um…hi.”
I froze. Why was he calling me?</div>

Chapter 2

“Um, hello, can I help you?”
The girl sitting at the table by herself, looked up at the waiter. “I’m still waiting. Sorry.”
The waiter just shook his head. “It’s okay.”
He walked back into the café, shaking his head softly to himself and mumbled, “Poor thing. She’s been waiting there for a while day already.”
Looking out at the girl again, he frowned.
She was a regular at the café where he worked. Most of them he saw her with that guy, but lately…she was coming here alone and waiting for hours. He no longer saw the happy smile on her face that was previously there. She’d been frowning more now and looking lost.
What happened to that guy? He frowned again.
“OI! Kyuhyun! What are you doing, staring off into space? Ohhhh…you’re staring at that girl again. Too bad, she’s got a boyfriend already.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, her boyfriend’s that new singer…the one that’s starting to gain heaps of popularity now. Um…Donghae! That’s his name.”
Kyuhyun thought to himself, oh, now that makes a bit more sense. He must be too busy to meet up with her. Poor girl.
He turned around and went back to work. But the girl remained in his mind. That sad smile on her face. Kyuhyun put his hand to his heart. Why does it ache here when I think of her? I barely know her but I feel like I’ve known her forever. He couldn’t stop thinking about her.
“Kyuhyun, hey, you know you’ve just worked overtime? I’m not going to pay you for working overtime, you know.”
Kyuhyun looked up at the clock. 10 past 3. “Oh! I hadn’t noticed the time. Thanks.”
He took off his apron and went to his locker.
On his way out, he glimpsed the girl again. She was sitting at the same table, but with her head on her arms, looking forlornly into the distance.
Decisively, he walked over to her.
“Mind if I sit down?”
She looked up in surprise. “Um…no that’s ok.”
He offered her his hand, “Hi, I’m Kyuhyun.”
She stared at his outstretched hand before coming to her senses and shook it. “Hi, I’m Elizabeth, but most people call me Liz.”

Smiling to myself as I remembered how we first met. I was truly grateful that I had met such a wonderful guy.
I glanced at Kyuhyun. He was so perfect. In the 1 year that we had been married, he’d given me nothing short of blissfulness and happiness.
Kyuhyun stopped the car and rushed out, quickly opening the passenger door for me.
“You don’t always have to do that, you know.”
Smiling as he put his arm around my shoulder. “Oh, but I want to. I promised you that I’d take care of you forever and forever.” He tapped my nose before leading me into the café.
“Kyuhyun! You’ve come again? Missing us that much? Oh, hello, Liz.”
“Hello, Eeteuk.”
Kyuhyun reached out and gave Eeteuk a hug. “Yep. We miss this place so much. Brings back a lot of memories, right, love?”
I tried to keep my smile pasted on my face. “Yep.” Frowning inside, I thought to myself…this place didn’t bring back a lot of memories. But not of them were as happy as Kyuhyun thought.
Looking around, I saw that our table had been left vacant.
Kyuhyun looked to where I was staring at. Smiling towards Eeteuk. “Knew we were coming, eh?”
Eeteuk smiled warmly and led us towards our usual table. “Let’s just say, I always know what’s going on.” Winking, he walked back into the kitchen.
Smiling happily at me like a little child, Kyuhyun exclaimed, “I miss working here!”
Laughing, I tweaked his nose.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to the table, and kissed me.
Trying to bat his hand away, I pulled away, embarrassed. “Honey, there’s people all around us.”
“So what? I don’t care if the whole world sees my love for you. In fact, we should show the whole world our love.”
Ring, ring.
Smiling and shaking my head at him, I looked into my bag to find my phone.
“Hello?”
Silence.
“Hello?”
I pulled the phone away from my ear and looked at it. They hung up. I checked my received calls. Private. Who could have that been?
“Who was it?”
“I dunno. No one said anything and then they hung up.”
“Maybe it was just a wrong number.”
“Hmmm…yeah.”
I shrugged as our coffees arrived.
“Here you. The usual.”
We smiled at Eeteuk and thanked him.
Sipping on my coffee, I asked Kyuhyun, “So what are going to do for the rest of the day?”
“Hmm…well since the meeting was cancelled, I have nothing else to do today. Maybe I’ll go home and get dinner prepared for my beloved wife for when she comes home?”
Reaching across the table, he held my hand. “So, what does my beloved wife want to eat tonight?”
Smiling and thinking to myself, “Hmm…surprise me.”
Grinning broadly, Kyuhyun sipped his coffee.
We continued chatting about different topics, all the while, he held onto my hand tightly in his warm ones.

“Hello?”
“Liz, it’s me.”
“Donghae, where are you? Didn’t say you’d met me here an hour ago?”
“Sorry. I had to suddenly go for a meeting with one of the directors. I won’t be able to make it. Don’t wait around for me, ok?”
“Oh ok then.”
“I have to go now. I’ve got fan-signing. Bye sweetie. I love you.”
“I love …”
Silence.

Reaching over to grab my hands, Kyuhyun said, “What’s on your mind, my dear? You seem so…thoughtful today. Hospital things?”
I looked up into his concerned eyes. “Huh?”
“You’ve been sort of staring off into space for a while now. What are you thinking? You know you can always tell me.”
Smiling at him, I shook my head. “It’s nothing. Just thinking about all those journals sitting on my desk waiting for me to read.”
“Oh…ok.”
Dropping my off back at the hospital, he held me tightly and kissed me gently. Whispering into my ears, “I love you and I’m never going to let you go.”
He embraced me again before letting me go and then driving off.
I stared as his black Mercedes drove off into the distance.
Memories suddenly flooded back to me with those words.

The raining was beating down heavily on the top of the car.
Soft bangs pelted the people inside the car.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was going to rain this heavily tonight.”
“There’s no reason to be sorry, hun.” The girl cuddled closer to the guy in the car. “It gives us an excuse to be even closer, does it not?”
The guy smiled down at the girl in his arms. He closed his eyes and leant back into the backseat of the car. “Let’s hope it ends soon.”
“Hmm.”
The girl turned her head to look out the window. The rain came down in sheets, like a cascade at a waterfall. Her mind was whirling with many thoughts.
Looking up at the guy she stared at him. Looking over his every feature. The smooth black hair that still had the tinges of brown and blonde. The eyes that twinkled brightly whenever he was happy. The cheeks she was forever pinching and telling him he needed to eat a bit more. The lips that felt warm and soft on hers. She sighed softly, but not softly enough that Donghae didn’t hear her.
He opened his eyes. “What’s the matter?”
The girl smiled at him. “Nothing. I was just thinking…”
“Thinking? Of what?”
“Why you, of course.” She giggled.
He hugged her shoulders tighter. “I love you,” he whispered. “I love you and I’m never going to let you go.”
She smiled and just adjusted herself so she was more comfortable in his arms.

Why did all these memories suddenly come back to me now? I thought I had them all suppressed. Why? Why? Why? WHY?!

Chapter 1 I want to hate you, I'm tired of seeing you happy with another person I had to send you away without you knowing why I tried so hard to erase you But I can't help it and that it's impossible too, Please stay next to my side Nothing's changed except that I'm alone I tried to believe that I would find another love But now it's even hard to breathe My sorrow over you keeps getting bigger and bigger I just can't seem to erase you from my head I want to hate you I'm tired of watching you pretend that you've forgotten me I hate myself for living each day without any strength I try my best to change but it just won't I tried so hard to erase you But I can't help it that it's impossible too, please stay next to my side The sun began to set slowly, dipping down into the water's surface. I sighed contently. I looked up into the angelic face of the guy holding me so tightly. This felt to be a dream. An ever-lasting dream that I never wanted to wake up from. How did I get so blessed with all this happiness and bliss? I felt like I was the luckiest girl in the world. It was too surreal. I shook my head gently to check if it were just a dream. Soft chuckles rang in my ears. I looked up again. Looking down at me was Donghae’s sweet smiling face. The warmth in his eyes made me heart beat faster. A blush crept onto my face. His face inched closer and closer to mine. I gently closed my eyes, anticipating his lips on mine. I felt the gentle pressure of his lips pressed against my forehead, then on my cheeks. What finally felt like eternity, his lips brushed against mine. I opened my eyes slowly, a bit disappointed, but upon the broad smile on his face at my first sight, I couldn’t help but smile back. He drew me closer to him and buried his face in my hair, whispering in my ear, “I love you.” Those 3 simple words made my pulse race like crazy. I could feel my face turning a bright red. I felt breathless, and at a loss for words. All I could do was hug him back tighter and lean my head on his shoulder. We sat like that for what felt like hours when it was actually a few minutes. He drew himself away from the embrace, only to stare at me intently. It was like he was trying to memorise my face. To make sure it was embedded in his mind. I just smiled at him, with my love for him pouring through my eyes. The next thing I knew, he had his lips against mine, kissing me swiftly, and with all the passion I had felt in his words and eyes. I kissed him back with the same ferocity. With the same amount of passion I felt for him. Who knows how long we were kissing for, but time didn’t matter. All that really mattered was the love I felt and the joy and happiness. It had been 7 years since that had happened. He’s probably forgotten me by now. I didn’t matter anymore. He had his own life and I have my own. But why did these memories come back? I thought I’d buried down deep, in a chamber of its own within my heart. I shrugged and walked into the building of the hospital complex. “Morning, Doctor Cho.” I smiled and walked on. Opening the door to my office, I immediately saw a pile of journals sitting there on my desk. Sighing, I walked over and took the first one of the stack. Flipping through the pages, I took some post-its from my table and began to stick them into the various pages that drew my attention. Sitting down on my chair, I pressed the on button of my computer whilst still flipping through the journals. On the bottom of the pile of journals were today’s newspapers. I picked up the first one. “Lee Donghae breaks through the American charts” I read on. Sighing as the article concluded, I put the newspaper back down. In the middle of the article was a tall, handsome man in his early 30’s and a gorgeous woman in her late 20’s posing for the camera with their arms tightly around each other, smiling broadly. I quickly grabbed the newspaper underneath that one and put it on top, only to see another picture of the couple. Trying to ignore the sudden increased beating of my heart, I turned to my computer. Ring, ring. “Hello, Doctor Cho speaking.” "We have an emergency on level 5, ward 2.” “Ok, I’m on my way now.” I quickly grabbed my doctor’s coat and swiftly walked out. Coming back to my room, after a day full of emergencies and inspections, I exhausted sat down on my abandoned chair. Sighing, I saw that the newspapers were still there. I tried to block out the smiling faces staring at me, like they were mocking me. “Liz?” I looked up at the voice from my door. “What are you doing here? Don’t you have a meeting now?” “It got cancelled. The person we were supposed to be meeting had to fly off to China this morning.” “Oh. I see.” “Have you had lunch yet?” The lean, tall man with dark brown eyes that always seemed to smile at you and the curved lips that were unbelievably soft when kissing, strolled towards me. He stopped when he reached my side and planted a firm kiss on my forehead. Smiling up at Kyuhyun, “No, I haven’t.” “Been busy saving lives again?” He pulled me from my chair, removed my doctor’s coat, grabbed my trench coat and holding my hand firmly in his, he dragged me out to his car. Opening the passenger side door, he bowed to me. “Ma’am, if you please.” Laughing, I got into his car. He ran to his side, got in and leaned over, pulling my seatbelt over for me and buckling it. Looking up, he grinned mischievously at me before kissing me softly. After a few minutes of kissing him back, I finally pushed him away. “I thought we were going to lunch.” “Oh, so you’d rather have lunch than your husband’s kisses?” He smiled again, then turned around and started the engine. Chatting happily about his work and asking me what had happened today at the hospital, we drove down to our favourite café. The very one where we first met. The lyrics at the start of chapter 1 are some of the lyrics from suju's song - hate u love u [not entirely sure how correct the translations are however but the meaning is still there~]

Title: Hate U, Love U
Rating: NC - 17
Characters: Donghae, Kyuhyun, others~

Note: ongoing~

Prologue
"Are you ok?"
Looking up at the liquid dark brown eyes, she nodded.
His arms were tightly around her waist, holding so tightly it was suffocating, yet...she preferred it that way.
She never wanted him to let her go.

"Honey, I'm leaving now."
"Ok!" called a deep, smooth voice from the kitchen.
A tall, jet black haired young woman walked out into the broad sunshine.
Standing at the doorway, she blinked to adjust her eyes to the bright daylight.
She strolled down the street of her house towards the hospital, where she worked as a doctor.
Patients, visitors, nurses and fellow doctors were seen around the entire hospital complex.
It was so lively, but inside, she felt she was all alone.
She stood at the entrance and stared at the whole building.
What was it that inspired her to work here?
The endless tiring work. The emotional strains.
The forever pounding headaches.

Paranoia

Thu, 15 May 2008 14:16:00 GMT

It's coming again...this paranoia. Why I always have to experience this? WHY?! It drives me to the point of madness.
The constant insecurity, the constant confusing thoughts, the constant loss of words to say.
I feel myself distancing away...advancing back into my shell...again.
I don't get it...why do I feel this insecurity???
*sighs* It drives me MAD!!!
No matter who or what...I always feel this insecurity. This helplessness. It overcomes me and clouds my thoughts.
It's my biggest fear...the entity of it overpowering my mind.
I feel so lost...what do I do? How do I move on????

*feels myself going crazy*
What DO I DO?!
What am I supposed to do?!
I don't know anymore. I thought things were getting better...but they aren't...they seem to be getting worse and worse....
I feel like an idiot...this isn't right...this isn't normal.
