A Cherished Gift

Life in Seoul, Korea

"Surprise!" In front of you, you notice a table set for two people.  As Donghae guides you towards the table, you couldn't believe that this was all for you.  Donghae slowly pulls out the seat for you to sit and walks around to his seat. You always heard that Donghae was the romantic type of guy who likes to do special events, but you never realized you would be the one in this scenario.  In the middle of the table was a sweet scented small candle in a glass bowl filled with water and rose petals.  

As you look up, you notice the door to the practice room slowly swing open, and much to your surprise, in walks Siwon in a waiter’s uniform.  You couldn't help but smile as you try to understand what was going on.  Acting professional, Siwon came to pour you some water, since you were technically still working and not allowed to have wine.  While Siwon was pouring water for the both of you, in comes Shindong rolling in a wheeled cart with your food on top.  In a chef tall hat and uniform, you bite down your lip forcing yourself to keep from laughing at the spectacle.  Siwon began placing the food on to the table while Shindong was trying to correctly prounouce "Bon Appetite" You could see him struggling but manages to say it in the end.  

In front of you was a plate of spaghetti alfredo and the aroma was overwhelmingly delicious.  Looking up, you notice Donghae staring at you.  "What? Is something wrong?" 

"No, I want to see if you like the food." Smiling back, you twist your fork in to the spaghetti and take the first bite.  You couldn't believe how delicious it was while trying to find a word to describe it.  Reading your facial expression, Donghae widens his smile.  "Is it good?"

"mmhm...really delicious!" 

"really!?"

"hm"  

"I'm glad my cooking turned out well." Surprised by his comment, you accidently drop you fork to the ground.  "Ah sorry!" Picking back up your fork you wipe it and continue to look back at Donghae, skeptical of his cooking skills.  Chuckling, you could see Donghae laugh at your reaction

"Really, I wanted to try cooking for you, Ryeowook barely helped me." Before you could reply back, in walks Kyuhyun and Sungmin carrying his guitar. Wondering what was going on, you notice the two grab chairs and place it before the both of you.  Sungmin began strumming a sweet melody as Kyuhyun starts to sing. Having lunch and music at the same time; you couldn't believe this was all happening.  However, looking up at Kyuhyun, you could see his expression as you tried to contain your laughter.  You could tell instantly that he was forced into this event by his hyungs and you felt bad for him.  

While listening to the music, Donghae starts asking questions about what school was like and how you came to be here in SM Entertainment, coming from the US. You enjoyed the little conversations between the two of you as it let you understand Donghae a little bit better.

"Um..about last night, I'm sorry I fell asleep..."

"Ehhh...don't worry about it, I was lucky to get to see your sleeping face." Blushing from his comment you resume back to eating your food avoiding eye contact.

Finally finishing up your lunch, Siwon came back with Shindong and his cart to put everything away.  Thanking them and the lovely songs by Kyuhyun and Sungmin, you tell Donghae you have to return back to the office.  Walking back out the door, you thank Donghae for the special event and the wonderful lunch. While talking, you could hear noises coming from behind you realizing that the members are all behind the door listening in to your conversation.  

"Thank you for lunch, we should do this again next time."  Speaking loudly as you couldn't help but tease the members just a little bit.  The both of you could hear a couple of "andwae" in the background, as you try to contain your laughter.  

"But...next time let’s just go eat out or order something and eat with the members okay?" 

"Hm..okay!" Donghae nodded in agreement, happy that you enjoyed the lunch.

"YES!!" Suddenly the door opens as a couple of the members fall forward.  This time, everyone starts laughing at the situation as the members were happy never to do the event ever again.  Waving goodbye to the members, Donghae walks you back to the office. 

One the way, you start talking about the activities the both of you will start to do.  Unfortunately, Donghae says that he'll be in Japan with the members promoting their new song and holding a fan meeting for a while.  Trying to hide your disappointed expression, you quickly change subjects and tell him about your next project for the end of the year awards.  

You knew Super Junior was going to be on the list, but since you were in charge of the event, there would be no time to interact with any of them.  You didn't know when you would be able to see each other again due to busy schedules.  

Reaching the door to the office, you wave goodbye to Donghae as you start to head inside, but suddenly he grabs your wrist. "Wait." 

Looking back over your shoulder, you notice Donghae pull something out of his pocket.  As Donghae holds it up for you to see, you recognize a silver microphone hanging on a chain.  Donghae reaches for your right hand as he places the piece into your hand.  You hold it up parallel to your eye looking at the keychain.  

"It's a matching set keychain for you and me, as friends?" Giving his shy smile, you could tell he was a little embarrass about the gift, but you were overjoyed at the little microphone keychain in your hand.  

"Thank you, Oppa." Reacting to the word "oppa" Donghae instantly beams, happy at the single word.  Waving goodbye, you walk into the office holding onto the keychain.  Sitting at your chair, you couldn't help but admire the wonderful gift you just received.  Holding it close to your chest, you were happy to have a special connection between you and Donghae.  Cherishing the gift while hanging it onto your car keys to keep it with you at all times.
