Donghae’s POV

Ahhhh home sweet home! It’s good to be back after touring for so long. The door was already wide opened and I strolled in like the boss I am, waving my hands in the air. Heechul and Kangin were waiting for me in our apartment and when they saw me, both of them broke into huge grins. Kangin was the first to pull into a manly hug and then Heechul next. Ahh, looking at the both of them… Was it possible that they looked different yet the same? One month without these apartment-mates… I truly missed them. Kangin looked as manly and as handsome ever and truthfully I wished I would take after him. He came back from military a changed man and I hope to follow his footsteps. Heechul too, though he was still as crazy as before, he came back more matured and thankful of everything around him.

“It’s good to see you again, hyungs!” I excitedly jumped.

“It’s good to see you again, Hae ah.” Heechul ruffled my hair. “How you’ve been?”

“I’m exhausted from the tour but everything’s good.”

“How did the tour go?” Kangin asked. “I heard you guys ruled Japan.”

I smiled smugly, raising my shoulders. “Of course we did.”

“Yahh, you’ve got to tell us all about your tour.” Heechul said, taping Donghae’s back.

 “Of course but first, manager hyung bought dinner for all of us since he knew that all of us would be home tonight. It’s downstairs in the lower apartment.”

I couldn’t help but feel something… Weird? Wrong? Amiss? Ahhh, now I figured it out. The upper apartment had all of Super Junior’s nosiest rascal in my opinion and since Leeteuk is doing military, that only left him with Heechul, Kangin and Ryeowook. Speaking of which… Where was Ryeowook anyway?

“Where’s Wookie?” I asked looking around.

“He’s sleeping in his room.” Heechul answered. “He’s been tired ever since……”

Heechul paused and then shrugged, ending his sentence. “He’s been tired ever since.”

“Oh, did he catch a cold or something?”

“I don’t know honestly.” Kangin shrugged. “But I’ll leave him a note and if he wakes up on time, he’ll join us and if he doesn’t, we’ll just pack some food for him.”

I nodded. “Alright, just let me put these bags in and get changed then we’ll go down together, hyungs.”

It truly was nice being back. Touring and performing around Japan with Eunhyuk was nice and all but being back with the other members felt even nicer. We talked and caught up with each other on our daily lives and laughed together at each other’s jokes and stories. Eunhyuk and I had a lot of fun during our tour but I couldn’t help but think how much funnier something would be if the rest of the members were there or how much meaningful something would be if the other members came along too. Ryeowook came during one of our concerts and I swore, it was one of the best concerts EunHae ever had. We dedicated the concert to our dear Ryeowookie
