Alex’s POV~

I couldn’t believe how much attention I was getting! Thank youu, Uki. She made me look amazing! I never could have done something like that all by myself. I really needa ask her how to do all this stuff. Especially my hair. I didn’t even know it could be styled like that!

“Alex, wanna give drinking a try?” Hangeng asked me, an evil smile on his face.

“You know I don’t drink!” I yelled over the bar’s loud music.

“There’s a first for everything!” he said, slipping me a shot of amber liquid with an evil wink.

“Yah!” Donghae yelled, taking the shot away. “Don’t be tainting my little sister like that, hyung! I’ll have Uki kill you!”

“Uki?!” Hangeng asked with a little laugh, downing another shot like it was nothing. “Why not you?!”

“I’d feel too bad for it later, but I highly doubt Uki would feel any remorse!” Donghae responded with a laugh.

Hangeng laughed and raised another shot to Donghae. Donghae downed the shot he took away from me and his face twisted in disgust.

“Hennessy?! That’s Uki’s drink! I find the stuff disgusting!” he said.

“Well then, what would you like? Vodka? Patrone? Soju?” Hangeng asked.

“Ehh,” Donghae responded, shaking his head.

I looked at the shot in Hangeng’s hand. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt if I just tried one shot. I looked at Donghae.

“Donghae, do you mind if I try just one?” I asked, batting my lashes at Donghae.

“Outta the question!” Donghae responded.

“But Uki drank from the entire bottle! And she’s younger than me!” I protested.

Hangeng laughed and slid me a shot glass with the same amber liquid. “C’mon, Donghae! One shot never hurt anybody!”

Donghae sighed and said, “If you turn out drunk, I’ll have Uki kill you ‘cause I can’t lay a hand on you!”

I smiled and took the glass in my hand. I noticed the other guys had gathered around me, watching me try the shot of Hennessy I think it was? I downed it and my face twisted in disgust.

“Blech!” I said. “That’s disgusting! How can you guys drink this stuff?!”

They all laughed at me. Hangeng waved at the bartender, saying, “Can we get a round of soju please? This one here’s a weak drinker.”

The young girl that looked barely older than I was laughed at me and nodded, quickly heading off to bring us our drinks. I looked at the other guys. They were all staring at me as if they’d never seen just another girl before. I love Uki for this~

The bartender came back with a round of soju shots and left the platter with us. Everyone except for Siwon, who was sticking true to his word, grabbed a shot and clinked glasses.

“To Alex finally showing us her true self!” Eunhyuk said with a laugh.

“Alex!” everyone yelled and downed their shots.

Mmm…Still wasn’t good, but it was a lot better than that gross Hennessy. And Uki drank that stuff as if it were water! How gross! Kyuhyun, too! Speaking of Kyuhyun, I snuck a glance at him. When he realized I was looking at him, he quickly looked away, reaching for the last shot of soju that had originally been for Siwon. Was it just me, or has he been staring at me the whole night? What was with him today? He knew I was a girl…Or so Uki says. So why is he so taken aback? Was it my sudden transformation? I mean, even Hangeng was taken aback by that, and he’s seen me dress as a girl before! Kyuhyun, you evil maknae, tell me what’s on your mind!

Suddenly, I felt something wet splash onto my shirt. I let out a scream and stood up to see that the bartender had accidentally spilled another round of shots on me.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry!” she immediately said, grabbing a clean rag and handing it to me.

My shirt! Uki just gave that to me! Damn it!

“I-it’s okay,” I responded, wiping the shirt down and standing in that awkward position where I was pulling the shirt away from myself so the liquid wouldn’t seep into my bra and touch my skin. Oh great. Now I freaking smell like liquor! Lovely! I knew being this gorgeous was too good to last. I’m destined to be an ugly girl for the rest of my life!

“Alex, are you okay?!” Donghae asked me, handing me more napkins.

“I-I’m fine,” I responded. “But my poor shirt! Do you know what this stuff does to silk?!”

“I’m so, so, so sorry!” the bartender said, a sincere look in her eyes. “Please, let me make it up you. I’ll, um…I’ll pay for it!”

“It’s fine!” I responded with a laugh. “I’ll just, um…Wait for it to dry I suppose.”

Kyuhyun took his T-shirt off, standing there in his wife beater. Oh my God, he had muscles. O.O

“Here, go change,” he told me. “You’re gonna smell like Hennessy if you don’t.”

I nodded and took the shirt, heading to the bathroom.

Hangeng’s POV~

Damn maknae.

He beat me to it.

Kyuhyun’s POV~

She looks really good.

Donghae’s POV~

And this is why you never bring my little sister out to drink!

Henry’s POV~

Alex looks really cute!

Siwon’s POV~

Uki is gonna kill somebody. That was her favorite shirt.

Uh-ohh~

Alex’s POV~

When I made it into the bathroom stall, I quickly pulled off the silk shirt and wiped away some of the liquor that was on my skin with the napkins I brought in with me. I pulled on Kyuhyun’s shirt and smiled, smelling it. It smelled just like him. I was just about to unlock the door when I heard some girls’ voices, saying, “Yeah, who does she think she is?”

Then another one said, “That little tramp, hanging with all the Super Junior members like that?! We’re so much prettier than her!”

Then someone else said, “Oh I dunno about that. She looks like a freaking Korean pop star. She’s pretty gorgeous.”

Thank you!

“Don’t say that, Jae! She’s a filthy little tramp! If I were that bartender, I would have purposefully poured an entire bottle on her,” the first girl said snidely.

Ehh. I didn’t care. They were just jealous. I was about to unlock the door once more when the second girl said, “I’m not so upset about her. I’m more upset at seeing Henry there.”

My blood froze as my hand was frozen on the latch.

“Yeah, I know, right?” the first one asked. “Acting as if he belonged there. He just needs to leave already! That other one, too. What’s his name? Zoo Mi or some like that? I’m secretly hoping that SJM is gonna just fall apart so they can just be gone already. But regardless of that fact, we should go talk to them after we’re done in here! My dear Donghae is looking scrumptious!”

“Mhm,” the second one said. “And did you see Kyuhyun standing there in his wife beater? Total hotness.”

Then I threw the door open and walked to the sink to wash my hands, giving them a cold glare. The girls were frozen. I shook my hands in the sink to be rid of the excess water and walked past them, bumping shoulders with one of them as I got a paper towel to dry my hands. Then I looked at them, giving a cold, sarcastic smile.

“I’ll be sure to tell Donghae and Kyuhyun your feelings,” I said with mock sweetness and walking out on them. I hated those only13ers. How dare they call themselves true ELFs?! If they were true fans of Super Junior, they’d accept all the members. They had no idea what Henry and Zhou Mi has gone through to get to where they are, and to sit here and insult them like that?! UNacceptable!

I walked back to the guys, who now looked all but drunk, forcing a smile on my face. Kyuhyun looked at me with a smile. “You look good. Totally more your style than that frou frou stuff Uki wears.” He gave me a wink and I blushed, giving him a shy smile.

I noticed Hangeng glared and came over to me. “Was your shirt able to be saved?”

I shook my head. “Sadly no. I think Uki just might be a little upset.”

As I turned around, I saw those girls from the bathroom again. I gave them a sweet smile, pulling at my shirt, indicating who the original owner was. One of them gave me a disgusted and angry look before flipping her long black hair at me and turning away with the other two. Idiot girls. People like them deserve to be shot. Wait…I take that back. I didn’t mean it! As much as I hated them, I didn’t want any physical harm to be brought their way…Unless I was the one inflicting the physical harm, but still.

Thankfully, no one noticed the exchange between the girls and I, and Hangeng just smiled at me, looking at the rest of the guys. “Are you guys ready to leave? It’s already three and I feel like I’m about to pass out.”

The rest of the guys laughed and nodded. Despite them all looking like they were a little more than buzzed, they were all able to make their way out of the bar with no assistance. Siwon climbed into the Escalade and waited for everyone to make their way in as well. I gave Siwon a skeptical look from the passenger seat.

“Did Uki allow you to borrow her car?” I asked.

“Shh~” he said, winking at me.

Oh, evil older brother. You’re just like Donghae~

Uki’s POV~

After Troy left, I went to the front door and shut it, making sure I locked it again. And I’d been sitting in front of my mirror, putting makeup on the already crescent shaped bruise forming from my cheekbone, snaking up to my temple, around my eye, and ending at my eyebrow for the past three hours, wondering to myself how the hell he got in. I locked the deadbolt, I know I did! But…Oh damn it, that effing key! They put it in such an obvious place! ARGH!

I threw my concealer and foundation down on the ground and let out an angry huff as I took a face wipe and angrily took the makeup off. I used to be so good at this! Covering up all the bruises I mean. But it’s been a few years. I suppose I forgot? Ugh! Stupid Troy! Stupid me! Why is it that he is the only one that I could never will myself to hit?! Even after all those times, I could never hit him back. There was always something holding me back, even though we’re not together anymore! What the hell was it?! What kind of hold did he have over me?! ARGH!

I looked at my alarm clock as my eyes filled with angry tears. Already, another three hours had passed. Six hours, and I’ve managed to do nothing. Not even sleep, like I had originally wanted to! And now, come to find out, I can’t even do something as simple as cover up my bruise! This is so stupid! Oh my goodness, I just realized that Siwon is gonna start asking questions. Damn it, if the guys find out, they’re gonna kill Troy, and despite the fact that I wanna kill him myself, I…I can’t let that happen.

I sighed.

“Troy Marcus Burchett, what have you done to me?” I asked myself softly, staring at the sad girl staring back at me from the mirror.

I stood up and headed to the kitchen. The only thing I can do now is just ice it and hope that the swelling at least will go down. But then, just my luck, the front door opens and everyone streams in.

Craaaaap.

I haven’t even thought of an excuse yet.

“Guys, shh! I think Uki’s sleeping,” I heard Siwon say.

Yeah, right, sleeping. I wish! I suppose sleep and I were just never meant to be

“Um, the kitchen light is on,” said Hangeng, “so I don’t think she’s sleeping. “

“Aish, this girl! If she’s cooking something, I’m gonna kill her!” I heard Siwon say again.

Then he and the rest of them came into the kitchen. I turned and looked at them. Alex…? Why is she wearing Kyuhyun’s shirt? Why is she not wearing my shirt? Why is my shirt in her hands? WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE SPILLED LIQUOR ALL OVER IT?! D:<

“Uki, what’re you doing up?” Siwon immediately asked. “You should be sleeping.”

“Yeah, I know, but then I got…Thirsty?” I said with a feeble smile on my face.

“What do you have behind your back?”

My grip on the icepack tightened as he came closer and gasped.

“Your face! What happened?!” he asked, immediately coming closer and examining my bruised up face.

“Aish, Siwon, it’s nothing to worry about,” I said, turning my face away from him.

Then the other guys noticed it, too.

“What happened?!” Donghae asked angrily, also coming up to me.

“I-I ran into the door while going into the bathroom,” I said with a little laugh. “I got dizzy and didn’t see where I was going so I accidentally ran into the door. Then I came to get an icepack for it.”

“Uki, it looks like someone hit you!” Siwon exclaimed, looking at me with a worried glance.

“Siwon, I assure you, nothing of the sort happened, okay?”

Siwon gave me a skeptical glance but gave up, knowing I wasn’t going to tell him anything. Then I turned to Alex. “Why are you not wearing my shirt?”

Alex smiled nervously and said, “Your shirt kind of had a little accident.”

She unraveled the shirt and I let out a little cry at seeing my poor shirt wrinkled and ruined.

“I’m really sorry, Uki, but it wasn’t my fault!” she immediately said.

I laughed at her and said, “S’all good. I have another one like that if you want. It’s a darker shade of pink, though.”

“Uki, don’t give me any more of your clothes. I’m just gonna ruin it.”

“Oh please. I could care less about the shirt. Just as long as you had a good time, right?!”

Alex laughed and said, “Best night of my life.”

I smiled at her and said, “Okay, so I’m gonna back to sleep. Um, Donghae…”

“Don’t worry, you can stay in my room. I’ll take your room,” he said with an understanding smile, still obviously troubled by my lies about the bruise.

I smiled and stood on my tip toes to give him a kiss on the cheek before turning and heading back to his room.

~~~~

An hour later, I was still awake. Suddenly, Donghae’s room seemed a little too big for me. I stood up and headed to my room silently and saw him sleeping peacefully in my full-sized bed. I quietly sat down next to him. He woke up and looked at me, a confused look on his face before smiling, scooting over and making room for me. I smiled sadly at his thoughtfulness. Troy used to be like that, too.

“D-do you mind if I sleep in here, too?” I asked. “I’m feeling a little lonely.”

He nodded and I smiled, laying down on the bed, carefully avoiding my bruise.

“Nightmare?” he asked me, giving me a concerned look.

“Sorta,” I responded.

With one look at the sad expression I gave him, he knew.

“Someone did hit you,” he said softly. I didn’t even have to say anything. He hugged me and gently kissed my bruise. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you. I’ll never let anything like that happen to you again.”

I smiled sadly and just buried my face in his chest, finally having myself a goodnight’s sleep in Donghae’s protective arms~

 

So I definitely couldn't find a pic of Kyuhyun in a wife beater. Lol. I'm starting to think it's an impossible feat. :P

But he looks really cute in this one, so s'all good! ^^
