Eunhyuk's got a secret. When that secret gets out, the lives of the Super Junior members go for a crazy spin. What was the secret, who did it involve, and what happened? EunHae
Eunhyuk POV
I could see the sunlight behind my closed eyelids. If the sun was out this bright, it must already be quite late. Really, I was so thankful to our manager for giving us the week off. I think that after two months of hard work, sleeping maybe one to two hours a night, all the members needed this week to recuperate.
I rolled over a bit and bumped into something solid and rather warm. I felt a slight smile forming on my face. I had forgotten again. I was so used to sleeping alone for the past few months that I kept forgetting Donghae and the rest of Super Junior M had already come back from China.
As if responding to my touch, Donghae shifted a bit, snuggling into me in his sleep. Whenever we were together, we always took the same room and slept in the same bed. I remember Hankyung describing it once as an "unbelievably cute brotherly relationship".
I slowly opened my eyes and moved my hand up to shake out my hair, messed up from tossing around in last night's sleep. Despite my efforts to move as little as possible, I woke Donghae up as well.
"Mm…" He yawned. "Mornin' Hyuggie…" He said, speech slurred in his half-awakened state. He was always like this, bouncy every possible time of day, the exception being the ten or so minutes post-slumber.
"Morning Hae!" I got up and slowly made my way towards the bathroom. As I was brushing my teeth, Donghae came in, draped himself across my shoulders, and yawned again. The next thing I knew, he was dozing once more, standing up with his arms around me and his head on my shoulder.
Seven minutes later, both of us were in the kitchen sitting around the square table with Leeteuk, Heechul, Kangin, Hankyung, and Shindong, who were just finishing up breakfast. The rest of the members left the dorms a bit earlier to spend the day wandering around the city with each other.
It had been several days since my uneasy conversation with Leeteuk that early morning. For the first time since then, Leeteuk glanced at me with a curious expression on his face. Amazingly, he managed to keep everyone except Hankyung from noticing. Thankfully, Hankyung was considerate enough not to ask, and smart enough to pretend as if everything was normal.
"What do you guys want to do today?" Shindong asked over his now empty bowl of cereal.
"How about going to the amusement park?" Hankyung suggested. There was mutual agreement and everyone quickly got up, cleaning their bowls and utensils off the table.
The car ride to the park was entirely uneventful, save for Heechul and Kangin verbally attacking each other as they played Dokkaebi Nara Kawi Bawi Bo to pass the time. Once we arrived at the park and stepped out of the car, seven hands, including mine, rose to shield faces from the sun. I could tell that although today would be fun, it would be sweltering hot.
"Maybe we should have gone to a water park…" Heechul mused. Hankyung shrugged and dragged him off towards the one water ride in the vicinity.
"Meet back here in five hours!" Leeteuk called after them. Then he watched as Shindong and Kangin wandered towards the strength games in one of the tents littering the area.
"Teukie-hyung, do you want to come with us?" Donghae asked.
"Sure Donghae, where do you want to go?"
As Donghae turned around and surveyed the park, I noticed Leeteuk observing me carefully with that curious expression on his face, as if to say "Not yet?" I shook my head slightly and smiled at him with a sheepish grin on my face until Donghae uttered an exclamation of pure excitement and grabbed my hand, dragging me off towards the tallest ride in the park. Leeteuk smiled at me understandingly and slowly walked after us.
Five hours later, everyone was back at the entrance of the amusement park, except Hankyung who, according to Heechul, was in the bathroom. I noticed that Donghae's eyes were traveling around the park, as if searching for something. Finally, he got fed up with waiting and told everyone he was going to find Hankyung.
Six minutes later, both Donghae and Hankyung were walking towards us. Donghae was looking extremely excited for the umpteenth time today, though for what reason, I just couldn't figure out. Hankyung was smiling happily as well.
"What are you guys so happy about?" I asked them curiously. Just as Hankyung opened his mouth to answer, Kangin interrupted him.
"Yah, how long does it take to go to the bathroom?"
"Bathroom?" Hankyung repeated with a puzzled expression on his face. "I wasn't in the bathroom… I was sorting out an issue with the manager of the water ride. Heechul got hit in the face with a water balloon and threw a fit. I needed to apologize." Everyone turned to look at Heechul.
"What?" He demanded. "The balloon left a really large red mark." Everyone laughed and shook their heads.
In the car, I asked Donghae again what he and Hankyung were so happy about on the walk back to the group. He grinned.
"You'll see."
When we reached the dorms, the sun was already below the horizon, but the sky was still a light purple. Shindong, Heechul, and Kangin had already entered the building by the time Hankyung, Leeteuk, and I got out of the car. As we were walking up the path towards the door, Hankyung suddenly stopped, turned around, and grabbed Leeteuk's wrist to get his attention. Since I was right behind them, I stopped also.
"I need to go to the convenience store to buy something. Can the two of you come with me?" We both nodded. As we turned to walk back down the path, Donghae, who had been gathering a few items in the car when we left it, walked up to me and grabbed my shoulder.
"Come to the pool in half an hour." He whispered into my ear and then strode quickly towards the dorms.
After walking around the store for twenty minutes with Hankyung and Leeteuk, we left empty handed. It turned out that what he was looking for wasn't normally found in a convenience store. We walked up the path chortling at his silliness, although I had a sneaking suspicion that this had something to do with the talk between him and Donghae at the amusement park.
I bid good night to my hyungs before turning right on the first floor towards the pool. Wondering what on earth Donghae was up to, I pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing no one, I walked to the edge of the pool, still looking around for the one who called me there. It was then that I noticed the water. It was full of thick white bubbles.
"What…?" I asked no one in particular.
And then suddenly, I was in the midst of those white bubbles, soaking wet. A huge splash next to me informed me that someone else had jumped in.
Within a few seconds, Donghae had me in a headlock. I grabbed his arms and bent over, flipping him underwater. When he surfaced, we were both laughing.
"Donghae! What is this?" I asked through my giggles.
"Don't you remember?" He asked playfully.
When Super Junior was first formed, we were roomed in pairs. I knew my roommate was Donghae, but I hadn't spoken to him much. The first day, I walked into the bathroom as he was washing his face. I smelled something really familiar, so I looked around.
"You use this brand of bubble bath?" I asked him casually.
"Mm?" He asked, checking his reflection in the mirror. Then he turned around. "Oh yeah, I've used it since I was a kid. Always found that a bubble bath after a strenuous workout is really relaxing."
Then, several months ago, before Donghae's departure, we were in the dance room freestyling. After a couple hours, we decided to call it a day and headed back to our room.
"You gonna take one?" I asked him and punched him lightly on the arm.
"Of course. Wanna join me?" He smirked. I knew he was playing with me so I retaliated.
"Oh suuure, except you don't let anyone else touch your precious bubble bath, not even your dear roommate." He grinned.
"You know," I continued offhandedly, "one of these days, I want to just fill a swimming pool with bubble bath and plunge in."
Donghae chuckled.
As I returned to the present, he looked at me expectantly. I smiled at him, slightly embarrassed.
"I didn't think you'd take me seriously!" I said laughing. "But why today?" He slowly waded his way towards me.
"Missed you." He stated simply.
"Hae…"
And then he tackled me and pushed me underwater.
"Aish, you punk!"
And we spent the rest of the night horsing around in the pool filled with bubbles. I didn't find out until later, that someone was watching us quietly from the window.
