I hiss in pain as she once again tried to pull at the splinter in my right palm. Now being right handed, one would think to get help. But, I was never one for wakening the hard working oppa's. Nope, instead I clenched my teeth and once again tried to pick at the stupid splinter of wood. The tweezers I were using kept sliding under my skin and pulling up nothing and it hurt. Did life hate me so much? First, the bullies at school scared my arm and now my computer desk wanted revenge for doing my homework.
"Damn twig." I cursed keeping my voice low knowing that Yesung's bed was on the other side of the bathroom wall. That man was no hard sleeper. Hell a feather could wake him. Trying once again, I attacked the small piece of wood and smiled in triumph as I successfully took out the splinter. I was proud I hadn't cried like I had so much when I was little. If that had happened, the already tensed oppa's would be in even more of a tizzy. My brown eyes lifted to her reflection in the mirror. I was pale and looked sick. The lecture earlier went better than I had expected. Of course, I had been punished for attacking her bullies, but that was fine she needed to be reprimanded for my wrongdoing. As for KRY's punishment, I had been allowed to deal with that and now thanks to Leeteuk I had found out that all the members minus Sungmin had been involved.
"Why are you still up?" Kyuhyun asked leaning against the door frame. I jumped upon hearing his low voice sending shivers down my spine.
"Why are you still up?" I ask eyeing him with heated gaze. Both of us stood in our silent starring contest waiting for the other to move first. Finally it was me who broke the silence.
"Why did you do it? Do you even truly love me, or do you have a fake romance conceived by your imagination for the sake of acting?" I ask keeping our eyes locked.
"What about you? Do you really love me, or are you just using me to get over your love with a man who's older than your fake parents?" Kyuhyun replied anger evident in his eyes. I blinked backing away slightly taking in his words. Was it true, was I merely using Q to get over Sungmin, but Sungmin loved me or so he says. I was so confused. Taking a deep breath I stalked past the older man and slipped into my room shutting the door to the outside world. I quickly grabbed my phone and checked the time's for Canada and China. Both Hankyung and Zhou Mi were sleeping right now, leaving only Henry awake. He was a year older than me and would understand and be helpful. Maybe I could stay with him for a little while. I found his name and hit the call button. It didn't take long for him to answer.
SUNGMIN'S POV
Shindong was waiting patiently as I finished my wine. I had left the house and called him to accompany me for drinks while I thought over my situation with Rin.
"Are you sure you want to fight the makanae?" Shindong asked once I finished my drink. My mind was muddled with different scenarios concerning the outcomes. My best traits were being able to have several backup plans and the ability to know the various outcomes of my decisions.
"No, but I love Rin and I want her to be happy. As long as she's happy I'm happy." I reply knowing that was all I could really do. I knew Rin didn't really want a fight to break out within the family.
"Shindong, I think Rin's sick." I confessed after taking a couple of sips from my newly filled wine glass.
"How so?" he asked worried.
"I think she's depressed much like I was a few months ago." I reply meeting his eyes wanting his thoughts on the subject.
"Is this just your speculation?" Shindong asked me in a hushed whisper. We both knew that we couldn't just jump to conclusion with this. If the media thought Rin was sick with depression everyone would be in trouble, and Rin was not that good at swimming like we were.
"Yeah, but I plan to ask her more when she calms down from her scare earlier. I don't want to spook her." I whisper as Shindong nodded beside me.
"Just stay near her," he muttered patting my back before standing and paying our tab. I smiled knowing that when I got home, I would run to Rin and admit everything to her.
HENRY'S POV
Rin was going to stay with me? Why did I suddenly get the feeling that something bad was about to happen. Maybe the fact that I was told to keep her coming a secret. Yeah that was it I was her escape plan that's why I felt bad. I fingered my cell contemplating on calling Donghae or Eunhyuk about their daughter's plan. I suddenly felt the vibrations of my phone as I finished eyeing the park that I was hanging at. Zhou Mi's name flashed on the caller id. Strange seeing as he was supposed to be asleep.
"Hello?" I ask feeling my nerves twist even more.
"Hey, I was just wondering if you were still coming to China next week for the month?" Zhou Mi asked. I could tell he was tired but I could also hear the small jingle of his keys.
"Did you just get home?" I ask surprised, usually he was early to bed and such.
"Yeah, Han Geng and I were out for drinks." The Chinese Super Junior M member replied.
"That's cool, yeah I'm still coming over, but I may have a small baggage with me that should be returned to sender." I replied.
"Oh, what happened?" Zhou Mi asked curiously, he had switched me to speaker.
"Rin's taking a red eye to Canada to see me." I confessed feeling better about telling someone else. A moment of pregnant silence.
"Have you told Donghae or Eunhyuk?" he asked already knowing Rin hadn't said a word about it to anyone. Man both of us knew Rin all too well apparently.
"Not yet," I confessed.
"Call them now, if they find out later then both you and her will get in trouble." The older male explained wisely.
"Kay, I'll call you tomorrow." I said before we said our goodbyes and I located Donghae's phone. He was more likely to pick up than his roommate.
DONGHAE'S POV
Henry's call was unexpected, but the news he told me was even more unexpected.
"Hyukjae get up now." I ordered pushing him from the bed and flinching as he hit the floor.
"Damnit Hae, I was sleeping!" he growled as I sprinted from the bedroom and towards Rin's room. The door was opened and her light was off.
"Hae?" Hyukjae asked from behind me as I turned on her light and screamed in frustration.
"Get in the car Rin's run away," I explained before entering or room and throwing on a pair of pants and a shirt. Hyukjae nodded quickly doing the same and grabbing his keys. The trip to the airport was quiet as I tried to call Rin's cell. She had it turned off and now I was angry. She knew better than to ignore my calls.
"Hae, she's over twenty years old, she can make her own decisions, don't you think that maybe we're being to clingy?" Hyukjae asked as we hit a red light.
"Hyuk, she is our daughter," I screamed.
"No she isn't, she may be our adopted daughter, but legally she is old enough to go as she pleases." Hyukjae snapped back as we pulled into the parking lot of Incheon airport. We both sat in heated silence before I felt the tears slide down my cheeks as an airplane flew overhead.
"I love our family Hyukkie, I don't want to lose either of you." I weep as Hyukjae's arms hold me as much as they could in the car.
RYEOWOOK'S POV
Six o'clock and the sun still isn't up. I hate winter. Yesung was snoring lightly in his bed as I crept past him and did my usual morning routine before heading to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Sungmin was sleeping on the couch, still mad at Kyuhyun. I smiled entering the kitchen, I noticed a small white paper on the table and picked it up. I noticed Rin's messy English and writing style. She was in a hurry when she wrote this. I scanned over the words before a frown etched over my face. She had run away?
"Ryeowook?" Yesung asked walking into the kitchen to stand beside me. I handed him the note stating How she took a plane to Canada. I should be happy she decided to stay with a member of Super Junior instead of going out alone, but I still felt as if it was my fault. Would she still be in her room complaining that we made to much noise if I hadn't made this plan to play with her heart?
"Yesung, she's gone," I whispered sinking into a chair as Yesung finished reading.
"Is this our fault?" Yesung asked eyeing me for an answer. We remained quiet waiting for the others to walk in. It didn't take long for the member's to enter with confused looks on their face.
"Where's Rin?" Kyuhyun asked taking a seat beside Donghae. I looked to Yesung, who handed the note over to the youngest member.
"She's in Canada," Hyukjae announced before the note could even reach its destination. All heads turned to face the Lee couple.
"Why is she in Canada?" Sungmin asked jerking the paper from Kyuhyun's hands.
"She needed to clear her head, and personally I think it's a good thing. She's in love with both Kyu and Minnie, I think some time away from the two will help clear her mind. Plus, she's afraid she may attack people again so she wants to calm down before returning to her problems." Hyukjae explained to us. I could tell Donghae was against the idea.
"So it really was our fault." I sulked feeling even worse now.
"It was all our faults, we should never have started this. We knew she was having a hard time with this life and getting her memories, but now that we added romance to the mix she's unstable." Leeteuk sighed combing back his hair with his fingers.
RIN'S POV
Canada's main airport was filled with people. And honestly it felt good to hear English surrounding me instead of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese along with whatever else decided to speak.
"Rin!" Henry's voice called from ahead as he rush toward me still waving. I smiled glad to recognize the boy.
"Hey, been a while huh," I smiled sighing into his hug. In all honesty taking a plane by myself with y flying issues wasn't the best plan.
"Donghae wants you to call him when we get home." Henry told me as we gathered my luggage and headed to his home. His family welcomed me with smiles and even fed me and gave me a bedroom of my own.
"So, um don't get too cozy," Henry said as he sat on my bed and watched me unpack.
"Why?" I asked placing some pants in a drawer.
"Because we are going to China in a few days." He announced. I wasn't really upset that I would be getting on a plane again, nor the fact that I would be within reach of the oppa's back in Korea. I was also happy I would get the chance to see Zhou Mi and Hankyung again. But, it was China they did not speak English and although I was good at Chinese and Korean now. I missed simple English.
"Great, I get to see the others, crap I still have to call Hae umma." I sighed. And that's how now I'm stuck alone in a room with my cell phone to my ear. It took two rings before Donghae's voice along with eleven other voices met her ears.
"Did you get to Canada safely," Donghae asked.
"Is Henry treating you okay?" Hyukjae yelled.
"Rinny I'm sorry!" Ryeowook cried, I could tell he had moved closer to the phone.
"Rin I love you, do whatever you want, I won't play your heart anymore!" Kyuhyun cried out.
"Do not get lost in Canada!" Leeteuk ordered.
"Take pictures!" Kibum called over the others. I smiled, it had been ages since I heard his voice.
"Rinny, at least call me while your away." Sungmin pouted making a smile fit my lips.
"God be with you and all you do," Siwon announced.
"Sungmin is sleeping in your bed just so you know," Shindong said resulting in Sungmin's protesting.
"Wash the sheets later," I reply before an onslaught of even more cries from the members met me.
"Aish and here I thought you were smarter than this, get your ass back to Korea in one piece or by God I will come after you myself." Heechul growled.
"Hee sama, your atheist what do you mean by God?" I ask holding back a laugh as I fingered the group picture of the sixteen of us.
"If God brings you back I'll acknowledge him." the man replied.
"Rinny bear, you come back safe and listen to Henry," Kangin stated and I could tell he was trying to keep himself from freaking out. He most likely did so when Teukie umma called him and Heechul.
"We heard you were going to China next week, so we are forcing Zhou Mi and Hankyung to help keep an eye on you." Donghae ordered. And that was how my phone call went. Little words from me and a full blown panic attach for the oppa's. Hell Leeteuk called the army, I feel honored. Well, Heechul and Kangin were only half the army but hey, still honored. Soon we hung up and I was lying in bed not at all sleepy thanks to time zones being screwed up.
"You want to tell me why you wanted to hang with me so much?" Henry asked as he entered my room. I shook my head as he sat down on the bed beside me.
"What you told me over the phone a few days ago, about clearing your head. Why choose here?" he continued ignoring my clear unease about talking about the reason.
"Because, I'm moving too fast, my head hurts and I can't slow it down. Plus I'm not getting any more memories and I need them. Have I lost them all for good? Have I completely forgotten my grandfather, my father, my family? I close my eyes and try to remember and my head feels like it's about to break open and all I can see are the oppa's. and then there's Sungmin and Kyu, I don't know what to do, I'm lost Henry." I confess feeling my chest ease at telling someone my fears.
"Then clear your mind, if you need help, I'll be here." He smiled clasping my leg with his hand before walking out the door and leaving me to my thoughts in the dark room. Just like night and day my thoughts are ever staying the same.
"I really need an eclipse. My old life is a dark night while my life now is sunny. Do I really want to remember it?" I whisper to the moon.
