~ yay double update :3 ~

"I knew it. That damn serpent would never bring us to the correct place." Kangin grumbled as he killed the serpent upon realizing it just brought them back to their base camp.

"Aish, it's not MY fault! Also -- wait what." Leeteuk trailed off.

"OMO, teukie-hyung!!! What are you doing here!!" Henry smiled.

"Huh? Some serpent brought us here." 

"And what's with that one?" Sungmin cut in, looking at the pink serpent with sunglasses on.

"Oh this? It's my creation. My FABULOUS serpent makeover." Zhou Mi announced proudly as everyone face-palmed.

"Seriously?" Kibum asked as he stepped closer.

"Oh, dear lord..." Siwon sighed, looking at the serpent in pity.

"Yah! It's beautiful ok?!" Zhou Mi defended as everyone just rolled their eyes.

"You may go now, my dear." Zhou Mi said as he let the serpent go.

"What?" He asked when he saw the looks on their faces.

"You call it 'my dear'?" Came the collective response.

"Yeah." He said nonchalantly.

"Oh wait, geng-hyung!!! Where's heechul-hyung?" Siwon asked.

"Oh... That... Well..." Donghae struggled to come up with an explanation.

"He's gone. Disappeared." Hangeng simply replied as he walked into the house. Everyone stared after him worriedly. Sungmin sighed as he went after his hyung.

"Hyung!" He shouted as hangeng stopped in his tracks and turned around.

"Hyung, listen. I'm not as good as you at comforting people, but listen. Like you said, I must stay strong for kyu. So you stay strong for Chul-hyung, okay?" Sungmin said quietly. Hangeng simply gave a soft smile and sighed.

"I know, Minnie-ah. Thank you." 

"M-Minnie?" Came a voice as the door opened.

"KYUHYUN?!?!?!" They shouted at the sight.

"OH MY GOSH. WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Sungmin shouted as he rushed to hug kyuhyun.

"I-I..." Kyuhyun started.

"No, no. Tell us when we go in." Leeteuk said, snapping out of his daze.

"Ok, hyung." Kyuhyun nodded as he went in, with sungmin still clinging on to him like a koala.

"Wait, so what happened?"

"Why are you here?"

"Where were you?"

"Were you hurt?"

"Are you okay?"

"Do you need food?"

All sorts of questions were asked once they were all seated in the living room.

"Aish, shut up. You're giving me a headache." Kyuhyun grumbled.

"Yeah, it's really him. It's the real kyu." Shindong confirmed as everyone laughed.

"What?" Kyuhyun asked in confusion.

"Taemin pretended he was you, kyu-ah." Sungmin explained.

"WHAT?!" Kyuhyun exclaimed.

"Yeah." Sungmin simply nodded. 

"But he was too nice." Hangeng teased.

"YAH!"

"He captured you, right?" Leeteuk asked.

"Yeah... When we were out, he somehow managed to ambush me and knock me out. I found myself in a room later on, then I realized I was locked up. Strangely enough, though, I wasn't treated badly. The room was large and spacious, I was given food and water, I wasn't chained up. I even got my PSP." Kyuhyun said.

"Well maybe he didn't want to hurt you. He probably only wanted to impersonate you to threaten us." Leeteuk concluded.

"Yeah, but that doesn't explain why he captured heechul too." Hangeng commented.

"Urm hyung?" Kyuhyun piped up. Everyone turned to look at him.

"You see, hyung. Heechul hyung... He wasn't captured."

"HUH?!"

"Well... You see, when taemin let me go, I saw heechul with him..."

<< FLASHBACK >>

"Go on, cho kyuhyun. And don't come back." Taemin snarled as he let kyuhyun go.

"I won't. Trust me." Kyuhyun gritted his teeth as he glared at taemin, until he noticed his hyung.

"HYUNG!!!! Let him go, you idiot!" Kyuhyun growled.

"Oh, you think I forced him to come? Well why don't you ask him to go with you, then?" Taemin challenged. Kyuhyun turned to face heechul.

"HYUNG! Let's go!" He said, grabbing heechul's arm.

"HYUNG!" He uttered as heechul shook his hand off.

"Go, kyuhyun. Don't come back. Don't. Leave me here. I'm fine. Just... Go. Be safe, ok?"

"But hyung!! I can't leave you here!"

"Yes you can. And you will. Stop it, heechul. If you keep being so nice to them you will never be able to help me." Taemin cut in as he dragged heechul away.

"Hyung? You're helping him?!" Kyuhyun asked in shock as heechul guiltily looked away.

"I hate you, hyung. You're a traitor. Goodbye. And don't come back to us." Kyuhyun snarled as he stalked off, not noticing the tears that fell from heechul's face as he looked after his dongsaeng.

<< FLASHBACK END >>

"So... He really betrayed us..." Sungmin sighed.

"NO, NO NO NO!" Donghae cried as eunhyuk comforted him.

"No, he didn't. Heechul would never do this." Hangeng said.

"It's the truth, hangeng. You can't deny it. We all want to, but we can't." Kangin said.

"No. I believe in him. Something made him do it." Hangeng continued.

"No. Geng, face it." Kangin said.

"No. You don't know him as well as I do, Kangin. I know he isn't like that."

"I trust you, hangeng-hyung. You understand people very well. So I believe in you." Sungmin said out of nowhere.

"I think so too." Ryeowook piped up.

"Me too. Hyung would never betray us." Donghae cheered.

"I think so too." Leeteuk smiled.

"So we are all gonna believe in him, right?" Hangeng said.

"Yeah." Everyone nodded. 

"You too?" Hangeng asked Kangin who smiled back at him.

"Great. Then let's do this!!" They smiled.

"Oh, those fools. You've done well, heechul. To think they trust in you so much." Taemin smiled as he looked at the group, using a serpent as his eyes to spy on them.

"Great. Now let them come, and I will destroy them." Taemin smirked as he left the room.

"Aish, you guys. Stop it. Don't believe in me. It will only hurt more. I'm doing this for you, and I don't want you in trouble. Please... Forget me, treat me as a traitor, ok?" Heechul sighed as his tears fell. He raised his hand over the image and stopped when he saw him.

"And you, geng. Why? Why do you have to trust me? I've done so much that points to me being a traitor so why hope? Why believe? I don't want to crush your hopes, hannie. Please, don't make me do it..." Heechul cried as the image flickered a few times before disappearing and heechul fell to the ground, sobbing.

Poor heechul. D': and poor hanchul.
