“Alex Seohae Lee! Are you kidding me!? Why the heck should you disappear?!” Henry asked, shaking my shoulders,

“B-because I-I’m nothing but an obligation!” I cried, with tears streaming down from my cheeks

“Alex! You’re an obligation to me because you’re my friend! Now what the heck is going on!” he asked,

I sniffed, “I was just an obligation to Super Junior because of Donghae. I’m nothing but a burden to them!” I cried, Henry suddenly gave me a tight hug,

“You’re not. We love you like crazy Alex, why on earth do you think that?!” he asked me, “Whoever told you that, I’m going to kill them! And I bet Donghae hyung would do the same! A-and Siwon, with a side attack of Uki Choi! And a good nagging from Teukie and Kangin! Now tell me who did this to you?!” he asked,

I shook my head, “A-ani” I sniffed, “C-can we go somewhere dry first? O-or do you wanna go back to the dorms?” I asked him,

He looked at his watch, “I don’t trust the trains at this time, usually there are hobos and drug addicts at the stations, so let’s just stay here for the rest of the night” he said, fixing his backpack strap,

“What’s in your backpack?” I asked him, touching his backpack strap

“Well, I’m not your friend for nothing right?” he smirked, “I learned a few things from you. Like when you’re hurt, you never want to go home…correct?” he said, “Do you wanna look for a place to sleep and tell me everything, or do you wanna stay in the rain? Cause Siwon lent me a couple of hundreds”

“What? Why?”

Henry shrugged, “That is what I’d like to know, but who cares? We have money in our pockets, and it’s raining! Let’s find a hotel before we really become soaked!” he said, I smiled and nodded,

“Do you have an umbrella with you?” I asked him, he twitched a bit,

“Can we not use it?”

“Why not?”

“Can we not? Please?”

“Come on Henry!” I said, going to his backpack, and grabbed the umbrella from the bottle holder, opened it up and, “You took my umbrella didn’t you?” I asked him.

“I was in a rush!” he sighed, “I didn’t know it was hello kitty!”

I smiled at him, and grabbed his arm, “Let’s go, alright?” I asked him, and we walked to the closest hotel.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We went to the Royal hotel. Sounds expensive right?

IT IS.

For a one bedder that fits 2 people (since it’s cheaper than 2 beds) it cost us $70! For one night! Aish! I’m so happy that I’m using Siwon’s money! Not my own! I feel less guilty! Cause if it was Henry, I’d be mega guilty!

We went into the elevator, and then Henry’s stomach rumbled… I looked at him as he punched his stomach.

Good thing I bought something to eat ^^” I think Henry would’ve died if he didn’t eat anything all night with me.

…..Aish….Now that I think of it….Why can’t it just be me and Henry? You know! Henlex! It’d be easier and less heart breaking… It could’ve happened if I was just slower to things…Just slower…

We walked into the hotel room.

It was a REALLY big room, like…HUGE! It had two division. The first division had a love seat, single seater, Flat screen TV, coffee table, and this Japanese thing that you can use to cover yourself when you’re changing (Sorry! I forgot what it’s called!) and a lamp. The other division was a king size bed with an even bigger flat screen TV on it…

“Is this a honey moon room or something?” I asked him,

“I dunno, um…” he stared at me, “LAST ONE TO THE BED IS THE LOSER!” Henry suddenly yelled, “ONE TWO THREE GO!” he said, and I started to dash before him. I jumped on to the bed, my back landing on the bed, and let out an—

“AHHHH!” I stretched my arms,

“It’s so soft” Henry said, with his head facing down on the bed, then his head turned towards my direction, “So…mind telling me what happened?” he asked me, I blinked for a bit,

“Is it okay if you change first?” I said, “I don’t want you to get sick”

He got off the bed, and took his backpack off his shoulers. “Alex, catch” he said, throwing me a hoodie and shorts,

“What’s this for?” I asked him,

“I grabbed whatever was in your closet that seemed sleepable” he smiled, I smiled back,

“Thanks” I said, walking to the bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~”

“ALEX! I THINK I MESSED UP!” Henry said knocking on the door. I walked out, wearing the cream colored hoodie that he gave me, and almost laughed at what Henry was wearing.

My black hello kitty hoodie ^^”

“Wow…” I laughed at the site of Henry,

He gave me his puppy lip, “Do you wanna trade?”

I shook my head, “This is making me feel better” I said, and sat on the bed.

“Now are you willing to tell me what’s wrong?” he asked, I looked at him and sighed,

“Kyuhyun…That’s what’s wrong”

“Wait, what?”

I looked at Henry, “Kyuhyun. When you came, no…Before you came, how many girls did he date?” I directly asked,

Henry stared at me, “Eight…”

“Then when I was here, was he dating anyone?”

Henry gulped, “A…A bit”

“Like?”

“Remember when you like…went missing because you didn’t go to Kyung Hee?” he asked,

“Yeah?”

“He dated another girl then, but broke up with her in November”

I sighed, and laid my back against the soft bed, “Why am I not surprised?” I muttered,

“Al, did something happen?”

“I met Aeris today” I said, putting my arm over my eyes to hide my tears,

“What?” he blinked, “You met Aeris?”

“Tell me Henry…Was she nice to you guys back then?”

Henry sighed, “Y-yeah…She was really like another mother…She was warm and caring…”

~~~~~~~~~Henry POV~~~~~~~~~

I looked at Alex, who looked like she was going to cry if I said anything nice about Aeris…

Aish! What on earth happened?! I mean, earlier, Alex asked me if it would be okay if she disappeared?! WHAT?!  I mean, seriously, Alex is like my sister! And if she was a guy, then she’s pretty much my gay lover! Why you ask? Because we can do totally be retarded-ly gay to each other and have no feelings whatsoever!  Well…Use to at least…But I don’t want her to disappear! She’s such a good person to disappear! She’s too sweet too be gone! She’ll be missed too much!

I wrapped my arms around Alex, and held her tightly.

“Alex Lee, are you going to tell me everything Aeris told you?” I quietly asked her, her head rested in my chest,

“Henry…Am I a burden?” she whimpered,

“Who would say that?” I asked her, gently sweeping my fingers through her hair,

“K-K-Kyuhyun”

“Wait, what?” I asked her,

Kyuhyun? Why would Kyuhyun tell her that? I mean…Isn’t she like…special to him or something? DID I GET A BLACK EYE FOR NO REASON?!

“I…I over heard Kyuhyun talking to Aeris at a restaurant” she whimpered, breaking my chain of thought “I-I was nothing but an obligation to him because I’m Donghae’s sister”

“Alex! That isn’t true! You’re not an obligation! You’re an amazing person to hang out with! Kyuhyun’s really…REALLY in love with you”

“Then was he in love with Aeris the same way he’s in ‘love’ with me right now?” she asked me, “Because it sounds the same! Kyuhyun’s nothing but a player! How can he even say he loves me when he’s dated so many girls before?! That isn’t right!” she sniffed,

“Alex…Are you…In love with Kyuhyun?” I asked her,

“What? Me? In love with someone like him?! Are you kidding me?! There’s no way on this planet will I ever be in love with him! I mean honestly, how can I like someone like him who’s dated sooo many girls! 10 of them! Can you believe it?! TEN! I’ve only dated 3 guys—no! Two guys my entire 20 years of living!”

“Alex…”

She sniffed, “I’m scared that…If I had even thought about saying yes…That….maybe Kyuhyun and I could’ve been together….But I’m scared Henry! What if I get heartbroken again?! What if I get hurt again?” she asked, I gently patted her head.

“Alex…Kyuhyun isn’t a player” I quietly said, “I…I don’t think he’s a player”

“How can you see what’s in his heart?!” I questioned, “Henry, I’m scared”

“Alex Seohae Lee!” I said, hugging her tighter, “I’m going to say this. Kyuhyun doesn’t break up with girls. The girls break up with him. For some strange reason, they suddenly have an urge to break up with him! I don’t even know why!”

“Is it because of Lindi?” she asked me, gently pushing me away,

“L-Lindi?” I stuttered,

Aish! Even her name gives me the creeps! Honestly, at first when I met Lindi, I thought she was nice…She’s a model, she seemed nice, she’s gorgeous…All that! But then…When I tried to chase after her, she turns out to be a…A…Okay, I’m just going to say it! A b*tch! I found out that she’s crazy for Kyuhyun! That she was willing to stop any girl in her way to get to him! But the problem is that Kyuhyun doesn’t like her, nor ever thought of her like one! Gah! I felt so bad for Aeris when I heard that she was going to quit SM because Lindi said, “Kyuhyun will get in trouble by ELFs if he’s seen dating someone! You’ll only be a burden to him and to F(x)” Honestly? Aeris shouldn’t have quit. But she seems happier that she did quit now!

“Henry?” Alex’s voice broke my train of thoughts once again,

“Yeah?” I said, turning my attention to her,

“So…Is Lindi really…Terrible?” she asked me, I slowly nodded,

“Whatever you  do. DO NOT. I repeat…DO NOT hang out with Lindi alone! Have either me, or some other member that you’re close to” I said, staring right into her eyes.

Then possibly at the worst time ever, my stomach growled…LOUD. URGH! I hate this! >:O

She looked away to looked at my stomach. I thought she would’ve punched me by the evil aura going around her, but she let out a laugh. She hopped off the bed, and went over to the plastic bag that she was carrying. She opened it up….

Cake! ;O;

And I see dry ice underneath!

ICE CREAM CAKE!

THANK YOU KOREA FOR BEING SO CONSIDERATE EVEN OF YOUR ICE CREAM! ;O; Unlike America or Canada!

She cut the ice cream cake using a plastic knife (Korea’s even considerate with that!) and grabbed a plate (I love you Korea) and put  it on with a fork, she went back to me,

“It’ll help” she smiled, “or…You know what? I’m craving ramen right now! Let’s go” she said, and grabbed her hello kitty purse.

I sighed. She’s a fan of DBSK (mostly Yunho), she’s a fan of pandas, and a crazy obsessed fan of hello kitty! If you’ve never seen her room before, then you would think that she’s mostly a hello kitty fan (other than the fact that she faints WAYYY too much with Yunho…)

“Are you coming?” she asked me, I gave out a small chuckle,

“Alright” I said, and walked out with her.

Great….A serious moment ruined thanks to my stomach…Thank you stomach! You just ruined my warning to Alex! GREAT! Debak! Just great =__=”

My phone started ringing. I looked at the phone…Kyuhyun…. I looked at Alex who was walking in front of me. Gah! I pressed talked, and put the phone to my ear.

“HENRY! Have you found Alex yet?” Kyuhyun’s voice went, I sighed.

Kyuhyun…Now you decide to call?I looked at Alex who was still clueless about the call.

“When did you wake up?” I asked him, “And how’d you find out?” I questioned him, Alex then turned around.

“Just a while ago, and Siwon! Now did you find her?” he asked me

“Do you think I would be calm if I didn’t? And yes, I did find her” I said, and looked at Alex, who was staring at me. I looked up, oh…We’re at the convenience store… “You go in first, it’s just a quick call” I told her, she nodded and headed in the convenience store.

“Is she okay? What happened? Why did she go back to Bucheon?” he questioned, his voice sounding as if he was wanting to explode with a million questions.

“She met with Aeris” I sighed

“What?!” he shouted

“And…Did you call her an obligation because she was Donghae’s sister?” I questioned him. He was silent… “Kyuhyun! How can you do that to her!? I thought you…I thought you were crazy for her!”

“N-no! Henry! You don’t understand!” Kyuhyun started, trying to defend himself, I sighed,

“You know what? Forget this! I’m tired of seeing my best friend getting hurt over and over again! It’s over. I’m not helping you again!”

“HENRY!”

“WHAT?!”

“Look! It was an obligation because she was his sister at first okay? But it’s not anymore!”

“Did I mention she’s also crying because she found out how many girls you dated before her?!”

“What?!”

“I don’t know how she found out about that, but I’m worried. She’s been heartbroken thrice now, and I don’t want a fourth!”

“Henry, I-I don’t even know what—”

I hung up the phone.

If he’s willing to act like a jerk to Alex, then I’ll act like a jerk to him. NO ONE messes with Alex’s heart again! And this time…I’m going to protect it…
