“Life is full of surprises, but the biggest one of all is learning what it takes to handle them.”

Having fourteen older brothers was never easy for Henry. First, there was just too many of them. Second, every one of them had completely different personalities – one carries a bible everywhere he goes, one who plays games wherever he goes, one who looks too much like a woman (and loves to dress up as one), one who eats about anything and everything every single second and does not gain any pound, one who is as clueless and dumb as a goldfish, one who is… Well… You get it. Every one of them were completely weird. Third, Henry thought, was the worst factor of having fourteen hyungs. He always got dragged into trouble by the older ones.

Not that he didn’t enjoy the adventures and troubles he got into. He had to admit, he was a troublemaker himself but these hyungs were always one step above him. Their pranks were more daring, more vicious and it seems, they never get shaken by threats from others – maybe only from Leeteuk. That’s Super Junior for you.

“I’m usually down with your plans but I’m not sure about this, hyung.” Henry mutters. “I really think we shouldn’t do this.”

Kyuhyun only waved him off, ignoring him completely, and entered the passcode to the apartment. No one was home and Henry released a thankful sigh. Kyuhyun looked relieved too and waved Henry over to the rooms. Both the magnaes walked towards a particular room before Henry pulled Kyuhyun by his arms.

“Hyung, wait!! Are you sure you want to do this?” Henry asked looking from the room to his hyung.

“Yes, I am.” Kyuhyun replied. “Now, come on.”

“It’s really…. I mean… We shouldn’t be doing this.”

Kyuhyun sighed. “Look, I just need to do this alright?”

“But what if there’s nothing in there?”

An emotion flashed across Kyuhyun’s eyes and he simply shook his head. “I just want to try.”

There really was no stopping his hyung, Henry thought. Kyuhyun was always strong headed. Henry released his hold on his hyung, nodding reluctantly knowing that he had no other choice. Kyuhyun gave him a thankful small smile and both of them entered the room. Henry felt guilty, trespassing into someone’s room without permission. But Kyuhyun had a reason and Henry guessed it wasn’t wrong to help.

Henry coughed when he entered the dark room. The room smelt of heavy dry smoke. He pinched his nose, hating the smell. He had friends who smoked and hung out in their rooms but this pungent smell was just different and weird. The room wasn’t messy. Everything was organized and even the bed was made. But why did Henry still felt like he was entering a stranger’s room? Henry had been to this room countless of times when he was bored, lonely or just wanted to talk. This room had always been warm and cozy and it felt like another home to Henry. He always felt welcomed. But now, he realized, it felt cold, strange and just… different. Henry hugged himself, hating how this was making him uncomfortable.

Kyuhyun immediately headed to the book shelve and started looking through the books. He paused and glared at Henry, pointing to the white cupboards. Henry nodded and started pulling one drawer after another. He looked through clothes, books, papers, plush toys and everything. Henry searched high and low and blinked when he noticed something.

“Hyung?”

“Mmmm?”

Henry cleared his throat. “Umm… What exactly are we searching for?”

Kyuhyun continued searching through the room, looking through file
