He was happy about Butterfly's successes in getting better. It was Sunday and everything had worked out perfectly so far. Butterfly were eager to learn and with Donghae's and his help they had improved their dancing and playing a lot already. Their singing abilities had become better as well, sometimes Henry had even stayed longer just to listen to them practicing. He and Chris had become closer and when he needed help with some technical terms he didn't know, Chris would always help him out, though he never stopped being the cheekiest member of the band. But Henry liked him a lot because of it. The whole band was already nervous because of the performance that would take place only three days later, but Henry was positive that they would be amazing.

He would spend this evening at Zhou Mi's apartment. The older had asked him the day before if wanted to stay over night and regarding he would have to call at Ryeowook's the next day after having pushed the limit already by one day and he most likely wouldn't be able to go abroad, he was glad he could already spend the night somewhere else. Because he knew that he wouldn't get much sleep, it didn't matter then where he was. And he didn't want for his parents to worry about him if they saw him so sad...

"Chris, I thought Donghae-hyung was supposed to have tought you that combination!"

"He has! Damn it, it's not my fault that it's not easy!"

"Then make it easy!" Henry yelled back at the blond guy and turned away. Now that he had mentioned Donghae he wondered again where the older was that morning - he still hadn't appeared and usually was at work way before he was. Yes, it was a Sunday, but it had been Donghae who had said again that they would meet at their usual time. And that had been about an hour ago by then.

He shook his head and focused on Butterfly again. Mina spun around but lost her balance and stumbled, Chris catching her before she could hit the ground. Henry sighed. That day wasn't the best day ever. The whole band was completely unconcentrated and while he was only supposed to teach them some more tricks with their violins, he had to take the dancing part now as well.

"Hey, stop it! Stop it, stop it, stop it! Everyone!" All twelve members came to a stand and looked at him as he massaged his temples. While the first days had been really easy, the job had become way more difficult. The band needed a day off, but there were still too many things that had to be done. That they started to get better didn't mean they were perfect yet. If there was a perfect... But while trying to do what he had told them to, they sometimes forgot to play after the notes they were supposed to play and then everything would end up in a desaster. And if something like that didn't happen, they had fallen back into their usual rhythm where 'feeling' seemed to be a foreign word.

Beside all the happiness he felt about them getting better, he hated those moments when there was nothing you could do with those teenagers because they were exhausted and unmotivated to do anything.

"Let's take a break for now, okay?"

"A break? Why can't we just have the day off?" Sandeul asked.

"There are too many things left to do," Henry replied, shaking his head. "I'm sorry, I would love to give you the day off right now but that concert is in three days and you still can't play your melodies right when you try to do what I told you to, or you make mistakes while dancing. So please, can't you guys just concentrate for a while?"

"But we've practised the whole week! We're too exhausted!" Chris talked back.

"Chris, please. Donghae-hyung wanted this training and I can perfectly understand him. We-"

"And where is he!? Where is hyung!? You said he was supposed to be here but where is he then? Why isn't he here!? I bet that we're only here because you wanted us to be here!"

"Chris, that's not right, it was Donghae-oppa who-" Mina tried to calm him down but Chris immediately interrupted her.

"Yes, it was him who told us to be here now but only after he spoke with you, Henry!"

"Listen, it is not my fault that you are here now! I really don't know why Donghae hasn't shown up yet though he should have one hour ago already. I really don't know what else I could do with you all! I want you to practice but if we keep on doing it like this, nothing will come out of it! So how about we all take at least one or two hours off so you guys can relax at least a little bit. Is that okay?"

Everyone agreed without compaining and the room was almost empty about five minutes later. Only Henry remained in the room, feeling quite worn out and a little bit sick. That was kind of normal for him, that he didn't react well to stress. But it had to be something else as well because he wouldn't get sick because of a single hour!

Henry sighed and leaned the back of his head against the mirror behind him. Why couldn't life just be easy?

It was about an hour later that the door opened again for the first time and a stressed Donghae came in. "I'm sorry I'm-" He interrupted himself in the middle of the sentence and looked around. "Henry-ah? Where are the others?"

Henry sighed. "I told them that they had off for two hours because they couldn't concentrate on anything."

Donghae nodded and walked over to him but he was somehow... limping. "What has happened to you? Is everything okay?" Henry asked, a little worried seeing the older man like that.

Donghae groaned when he let himself glide to the ground next to him and leaned his head against the cool glass of the mirrors as well. "Yeah, yeah. Everything's okay. Just - don't ever sleep with Zhou Mi!"

"I didn't pl... wait, WHAT?!" Henry stared at Donghae in disbelieve, a thousand thoughts running through his mind.

"Don't look at me like that. Zhou Mi-hyung himself doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I am sore. It's rather been my boyfriend." The dance teacher laughed at the relieved expression Henry made after hearing those words. "What, did you seriously think I had done something with hyung?! Oh come on, I have my own boyfriend, Zhou Mi-hyung's all your's!" Henry felt like an idiot being caught having thought exactly that, but Donghae just smiled at him before his expression changed back to seirous. "But seriously, I really mean it. Don't ever sleep with him if you take the bottom position! It hurts like hell the next day. Or at least for a short time. I swear, I even told Hyukkie I would have to work today. But do you think he would listen? No, of course not."

"Wait, wait, wait, hyung, I think I somehow lost you. What exactly are you talking about?" Henry asked, only having understood half of what the other had said.

Donghae looked at him as if it was clear what he was talking about and for someone who had grown up speaking Korean it most likely was because they knew all those expressions, but to him it wasn't clear. "I'm talking about having with your boyfriend," he stated neutrally.

Henry rolled his eyes though he blushed. "That's the part even I got! But what about the rest, what about this thing with... taking the... you know..."

"Taking the bottom position?" Henry nodded. "But you know what that expression means, don't you?" Henry rolled his eyes again but blushed deeper. "I take that as a yes. Okay... well... you know, men aren't made to have with the same gender. It's possible but... well... the other has to prepare you before the act because otherwise it's going to hurt like hell. But even with preparation, the beginning usually hurts a little. Later it's okay. Still, you're sore the next day. You could compare it a little with having sore muscles in your , only that it's worse."

Henry looked at Donghae with wide eyes, not having expected something like that. "W-well..."

Donghae smiled at him. "It's simply something Hyuk and I have found out already."

"What about us?" When Henry looked up, Eunhyuk and Zhou Mi were standing in the doorframe, Eunhyuk having cocked his eyebrow. "For you having to work there's a lot of talking going on and very few trainees here, if you ask me."

"It's not my fault!" Donghae immediately defended himself.

"Yeah, well, it's kind of my fault, I guess. I told them to take off two hours because they were unable to concentrate. But they should come back in about an hour," Henry replied and stood up. Zhou Mi and Eunhyuk came towards them, someone else accompanying them as well. When Henry realized who that someone was, a bright smile appeared on his lips. "Sungmin!"

The bunny-like boy couldn't stand it behind the two others anymore and instead came running towards them, hugging him and spinning him around once, making Henry laugh. "Yah, you're so light! Do you even eat something!? You should eat more!"

"Sungmin~!"

"I really mean it! Even if you're sick, you should eat more!"

Henry looked at Donghae - who had stood up again as well - and Eunhyuk uncomfortably. "S-Sungmin-hyung... you know that I can't..."

"I'm sure you could. You just have to be hungry enough!"

The younger shook his head, not wanting to talk about that topic. "No, it's not that. And could we please talk about something else?"

"Like you staying at Zhou Mi's tonight and me only getting informed about that yesterday?" Sungmin complained and glanced at his best friend accusingly.

Zhou Mi simply laughed. "As if I would need your agreement when I want to meet up with others!"

Someone laughed on Henry's left side and when he looked to that side, he saw Eunhyuk having wrapped one arm around Donghae, both smiling at them. "Oh, c'mon, Sungmin-ah!" Eunhyuk interfered. "Those two are really cute together! So just leave them some fun!" Sungmin pouted, but then he slightly pushed Henry towards Zhou Mi. Henry blushed when the older pulled him closer and wrapped one arm around him, which caused Eunhyuk to laugh even more. "Does anyone have a camera here? That is really worth a photo!"

"Yup, it was!" At the laughing voice of Taemin, everyone turned around to see Taemin and Eunji, the two youngests from both bands, standing in the doorframe and looking onto a camera. "They really are cute together!" the boy just stated.

"LEE TAEMIN!!!" Eunhyuk yelled but only earned laughers from everyone else. Henry didn't really mind the photo. It was something the others would remember later.

"Why are you even here? You have the day of," Zhou Mi wondered.

The boy looked up, but it was Eunji who answered, "We planned on taking some photos. I mean, we will barely have time to get to know Henry-oppa better because he won't be our teacher for long as far as nothing has changed, so we wanted to take some pictures so we will always remember him!"

Henry smiled, feeling touched by that. But then Taemin continued, "And he's not the only one we want to remember forever. No matter where we are, we wanted to have photos from all of you with us. Because you taught us so much already and you're almost always nice to us! So, even if we will get other teachers or managers someday, we want to remember you and always have you with us."

Everyone looked at them now. "You two are cute," Sungmin said after a while.

Eunji and Taemin looked up and blushed at the same time but before they could protest - which they obviously wanted to do - a blond head appeared behind them together with a brown one and laughed. "What are you doing here? You're blocking the entrance!"

"Chris-oppa!" Eunji turned around and only then saw that there was someone else standing next to Chris as well. "Mina-unnie! I-I'm sorry!"

Taemin placed one arm around her shoulders which made Henry smile. "No, we are not sorry! We were taking a picture of those guys because we want to remember moments like that forever! And I will keep on taking pictures the whole day!"

"But pay attention that Eunji-ah won't be the only one you get to take a photo of!" Chris joked and then pulled Mina through the door and towards the others, Taemin and Eunji quickly following after them.

Henry smiled at those four, more than just sure they were couples. And he thought it was really cute. Chris and Mina had had some interactions before that day already, so it wasn't new to him to see them so close. He hadn't seen Eunji and Taemin together before, ut they were both totally cute and innocent, so it actually even fit.

Later when everyone had gathered together again, the practice went way better than before and Henry blamed the others for that. He could bet the band tried to do their best even more than they usually did because of Taemin, Zhou Mi, Sungmin and Eunhyuk who normally weren't there to watch them and give them some advice as well. Henry tried his best to ignore Zhou Mi's presence, but he knew he failed completely at trying to do so.

The band had eaten something while having their two hours off that Henry had given them, still they only practiced until three pm, two more hours. None of them wanted to practice on a Sunday and instead they got lost in taking photos. There was one where Henry sat in between Zhou Mi's legs, the latter leaning against the mirrored wall, having his arms around the younger's waist and Henry had his eyes closed, following afterwards was a picture of Henry chasing Taemin once more. There were a lot of pictures with either Eunhyuk and Donghae in it or with Henry and Zhou Mi. Everyone laughed a lot that day and they stayed until about 6pm when they were all sitting in the cafeteria of the famous entertainment building and were exhausted from running and laughing so much. Some of them had searched for something to eat while some of the others didn't want to eat already but instead had their arms folded on the surface of the table
