Chapter Thirty-Two – RECONNECT
So, What Happens Now?
Donghae gave me a powerful tug which upset my balance and I ended up on the floor, half on top of him!
Donghae: Ugh! You ate a lot!
Me: Aisshh! So did you! Let me up!!
Donghae: (~Wrapping his arms and legs around me playfully~) No. It’s fine. Let’s stay here for a while.
Me: Stop being a kid, Hae.
Donghae: (~Turning serious and pushing the hair back off my forehead~) If I stop being a kid right now, Rain, I start being something else…
I was nervously looking at him, at a loss for words, when the door suddenly opened.
“What on Earth….???”
I got off Donghae so fast that I bumped my knee on the coffee table. We both looked up to see who it was.
Donghae: Hyung….
Heechul walked to where Hae was lying on the floor and picked him up by his shirt.
Heechul: Don’t “hyung” me, you fool! Do you want to die?
Me: What the heck are you doing here, Kim Heechul?
Heechul: (~Stands with hands on his waist~) And you’re both treating me like I’m some unwanted mushroom that sprouted on your little garden! I’ve a mind to walk out and leave you two to fend for yourselves!
Me: Stop the primadonna act and explain why you showed up here without any notice.
Heechul: How do I notify someone who isn’t answering her phone calls? Why haven’t you called? It’s been a week. And how come we can’t contact you? Where’s your phone?
Me: It’s right here. I can’t contact you either. There’s something wrong with my service. And I’ve been so busy these past few days that I haven’t really tried again.
Heechul took my phone and punched something.
Heechul: You’ve barred all incoming and outgoing international calls, stupid.
Me: I didn’t!!
Heechul: (~Throws the phone at me~)Look!
Me: Honestly..how did that happen?
I noticed Donghae squirming uncomfortably in his seat.
Me: Hae….did you?
Donghae: What?!? I just wanted you to concentrate on your work…
Me: Aisssh! Hae!
Heechul: (~Slaps Hae on the back of the head~) Stupid fish! Do you know the trouble you’ve caused?
Me: Stop it! We’ll deal with that later. What are you doing here anyway? Didn’t Leeteuk tell you we’ll be back tomorrow?
Heechul: That man…the one time he’s supposed to be mouthing his head off, he goes silent on us! All he said was you decided to extend your stay.
Me: Still, you didn’t have to come.
Heechul: Trust me, I didn’t want to. But I had to. Our lives are being turned upside down by Mr. Temperamental. I even took Kyuhun and Eunhyuk for support.
Me: Huh? Where are they?
Heechul: I just created some delay at the airport, I knew I had to arrive here first to set things up. They’ll be here any moment. Better get your story straight.
Donghae: What are you talking about?
I’m afraid I have an idea. But before I can say anything, we heard the door open. I slowly turned to face the door.
Here we go again.
Sorry for the short update! Will post another one as soon as it's done!
