“Hyung. Why are you suddenly interested on their activities?”

 

“Uh. They’re my friends?”

 

“Aiyo! I know that! But it’s so exasperating of you to pester me for a week just to know about Super Junior’s members’ whereabouts.”

 

It was almost one in the morning. Jaejoong and Changmin were talking on the phone. The latter was groaning under his breath, irritated that his hyung was bombarding him with questions about Super Junior when he should be sleeping peacefully on his comfy bed. Jaejoong was kicking slowly his feet, enjoying the cold water from the swimming pool in his mansion’s garden. Right hand holding the cellphone near his ear and left hand holding a canned soda.

 

“I told you so. I need to talk to Leeteuk hyung for a business proposal. He mentioned before that he wanted to franchise a huge restaurant’s name from Italy and he was looking for a business partner. I’m kinda interested on it.” Jaejoong knew that Changmin was easily convinced with the way the maknae kept on muttering annoyed, incoherent words on the phone.

 

“Aish! I’ve heard that already! And I’ve told you lots of times too. Heechul hyung and Leeteuk hyung are in Japan. Kangin hyung is in Bangkok. He’s planning a business there. Yesung hyung and Kyuhyun are in China, busy promoting their latest single. Minho told me that he heard from Amber that they’d be staying in those countries for a couple of months.”

 

“Other than that information? You mentioned that already.” Jaejoong took a sip from soda. “How about their numbers? Address in Japan and China? Schedule? Place of TV guesting, recording or filming? Have you gotten them?”

 

“Hyung. What are you? You sound like someone who’s finding a top criminal or something.”

 

Jaejoong glanced at the phone and then back to the water. Yes. Donghae did an unforgivable crime. He dared hurt her. He thought.

 

Changmin continued. “Ani. I didn’t get any info about those. I’m beginning to think that no one in SM knew actually. Well, there’s Siwon and Ryeowook inside the camp. If you need a business partner, why don’t you try visiting the horse then? He’s way more experienced on that matter than any SM artists or idols in general.”

 

Jaejoong was silenced, remembering something as he put his soda on the gutter of the pool beside him. “Other than that.” He said flatly, lips on a thin line and eyes fixed on the water as his feet stopped kicking under it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLASHBACK!!!

 

 

It was during the first week of October when Jaejoong accompanied Dara in visiting the military camp. They were there for only reason.

 

That is to talk to any Super Junior member inside.

 

“I apologize ma’am and sir but you’re not allowed to visit Mr. Choi Siwon today.” An officer on desk told them.

 

“W-wae? But it’s visiting day today. Plus, you told us last time that if we come back here at his date, maybe we could talk to any of our friends.” Dara looked at the officer frustratingly and then looked at Jaejoong beside her to back her up.

 

Jaejoong laid his serious stare at the officer, feeling pissed that they were wasting their time there again when Dara had been looking forward for this day and now her hopes were being pushed at the side again. And that pissed him the most. Seeing Dara hoping for something and ending up being disappointed over and over again.

 

Although, he didn’t understand why he was so concerned to her.

 

Last September, the two of them were outside the Incheon airport, waiting inside Jaejoong’s car. It was all over the news. Siwon and Ryeowook were coming back from Paris and were about to enlist at the same day of their arrival. Media were eager to capture even just for a glimpse of two of the top idols in the Kpop industry. But Dara’s hopes were stepped on again when a reporter on the radio broadcast informed the whole world that Siwon and Ryewook arrived in Seoul two days ago and discreetly entered the military camp last night.

 

 

 

 

The ones they were waiting for already arrived and left again.

 

For two ing years.

 

 

 

 

“Sir, you said last time that no one’s scheduled on visiting Choi Siwon, Kim Ryeowook, Lee Sungmin and Shin Donghee today. That we can talk to them as long as we want. You can give me a paper and I can write down your exact words too well.”

 

The officer closed his eyes and let out a tiresome breath. “I know I told you those but it’s the head officers’ orders. The only ones who could visit those names you mentioned are their families in the first degree.”

 

“What?!” The two exclaimed in absurdity.

 

“How could that-” Dara took a step back with a humorless laugh. “So, you’re saying I’ll have to wait for two years to be able to talk to them?” Her voice was suddenly hoarse. YG took her passport when he learned that Dara booked two flights going to Japan and China. Seungri, Se7en, Bom and CL scolded her, pleading her to stop getting ahold of someone who left her alone in the dark. Taeyang and TOP were trying to calm the others because Dara’s silence was ten times worse than her tears gushing out. Daesung and Minzy could only cry at the corner. They knew she had been trying to talk to their once Super Junior friends. Pleaded her to share to them how she feels. To share all her pain. But Dara just smiled resentfully at them, gave up taking back her passport and left the room.

 

 

 

 

 

Donghae will never leave me alone.

 

Never.

 

 

 

 

 

Siwon and Ryeowook. Her friends. The ones she had been hoping to talk to. To find out what was happening. How is Donghae doing? Where is Donghae? When will the fish swim back to her? And still, those questions were left unanswered because . . . 

 

No one was there to answer.

 

“No offense, sir but that’s ridiculous.” Jaejoong eyes were piercing that even the tall and buffed soldier shivered inside. “The only ones who can visit them are those families in the first degree? When such rule was implemented? Colleagues, friends and anyone whom they allow to visit them can see them. I have visited my cousins, Yunho and friends inside a lot of times but this is the first time I’ve heard of such a nonsense rule.”

 

“Again, head officers’ orders. There are exemptions in-”

 

“Exemptions?” Jaejoong repeated the word sourly. “Exemptions, huh? Arasso.” He nodded at him. “Why only them?”

 

 

 

 

 

Silence.

 

 

 

 

 

“Head officers’ orders.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Aigoo! That’s all I know Jaejoong hyung! Then, Donghae and Eunhyuk-”

 

“Did they enlist already?”

 

 

 

 

 

Silence.

 

 

 

 

 

“Mwo?” Changmin was dumbfounded. He furrowed his brows, confused if he heard him correctly. “Nugu ya?”

 

“Donghae.” Jaejoong’s eyes never left the calm water. “Do you think he’s inside the camp?” He asked him lowly.

 

 

 

 

 

Silence.

 

 

 

 

 

“Hahaha! Hyung! Seriously? Hahaha!” Changmin’s laugh echoed on the line.

 

Jaejoong crossed his brows. “Wae? That could be poss-”

 

“Impossible.”

 

“Impossible?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Wae?”

 

“Because their Prince manager told me so. SM sent two new managers to accompany Donghae and Eunhyuk while they’re busy studying in Paris.”

 

Jaejoong stopped from drinking his soda. His eyes twitched to his right. “Two new managers?”

 

“Yeah. Sanjangnim has lots of money to pay them anyway,” chuckled Changmin.

 

 “Oh. So . . . prince manager hyung is now with Yesung and Kyuhyun in China?”

 

“Ani. He’s joining SNSD’s managers temporarily. Just like the other SJ managers who were divided to assist EXO, Red Velvet and the new boy group of SM.”

 

“Wait, what?” He put down the canned soda as he tried to grasp everything told him.

 

“Oh! Didn’t I tell you?” Changmin’s voice sounded so surprise.

 

“What?”

 

“Sanjangnim sent new managers and staff to Super Junior. The original ones are here in Seoul, helping the other groups.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October 14, 2015

 

 

“Here.”

 

“I’m not hungry, sunbae.”

 

“Can you not? It’s almost 7 P.M. You did not eat breakfast, lunch or any snack.”

 

Dara just looked at him. Her hands on her lap as they sat inside a private room of a ramen restaurant in Cheomdandong. She shook her head slowly.

 

The whole morning till noon, the two wandered around the city just to talk to the girlfriends of the Suju guys. Some were out of the country while the others gave them the same answer. I was shocked to hear it on the news but he explained it to me afterwards. It was SM’s decision. They all said. The girlfriends bought Jaejoong’s explanation about that business proposal and that Dara just accompanied him to meet them. They said that the guys were still contacting them every now and then and they happily gave their numbers to the two. But not one of those numbers answered. They just kept on ringing and ringing.

 

“It’s calling you.”

 

She looked at his face confusedly. “Huh? Nugu?”

 

“Ramen.” Jaejoong pointed the bowl of the spicy ramen with his lips. “Sandara. Eat me. I’m delicious. The chef did his very best to cook me for you. All my ingredients will be put to waste if you will not even take a taste of me. Don’t you have a heart? Huhuhuhuhu.” Jaejoong was making fake sound of sobs that sounded like a pig snorting.

 

Dara’s lips broke out a smile.

 

“Yah sunbae! Aigoo!” She looked at him in disbelief and laughed with him afterwards. “Hahahaha! Arasso! I will devour you ramen!” She took the chopsticks on her right and used them to point at the food playfully. “Sunbae.”

 

“Hm?”

 

She smiled at him genuinely. “Komawo.”

 

Jaejoong froze from his seating. There was something so warm about Dara’s smile. It was that smile that he saw in Siwon’s party months ago. She was so beautiful. He thought.

 

Dara continued. “If you weren’t there in the SM parking lot to give something to Changmin sunbaenim at that time . . . If you did not follow me with your car on the road then, I . . . I don’t know who will help me anymore. Whose shoulder to lean on. For that, komawo Jaejoong sunbae.”

 

Jaejoong was surprised with her sudden expression of gratitude. He smiled at her back. “I was about to enter my car then and leave the place but a Range Rover was about to hit me so . . . I waited for the driver of that to come down and confront him but . . . was shocked as hell to see it was a ‘her,’ It was you.”

 

He and Dara laughed remembering that.

 

“I’m sorry sunbae. I was in a hurry to catch him.” The mere mention of ‘him’ brought her back to that last time when she saw and touched him.

 

“Yah hoobae!” Jaejoong noticed her silence and sadness creeping back at her, pushed his bowl of ramen to Dara’s side. “You almost hit me then so in return, you will devour those two bowls of ramen.”

 

“M-mwo?!  What are you gonna eat then?”

 

“I want rice. I ordered breaded pork and squid.” He grinned at her.

 

“Then, why did you order two bowls of ramen?”

 

“For you. I know you can finish two large bowls in 5 minutes.”

 

“Yah! What nonsense are you talking about?!” Dara pointed the chopsticks at his face in embarrassment but then burst out in laughter. Suddenly forgetting their meeting with Lee omma and Donghwa that afternoon.

 

Dara and Jaejoong went to the Lee residence around 4 in the afternoon. Jaejoong stayed inside the car as Dara entered the house and hugged Donghwa and Lee omma tightly, trying to conceal all the pain that was about to burst from meeting her other family. With the way Lee omma ranted how Donghae did not even tell her about his plan of studying and him not even bidding goodbye to them confirmed to her that just like her . . . they were left with unanswered questions.

 

She asked them if he already called them during the past months and Donghwa told Dara that in almost two months of Donghae’s stay in Paris, he only called once. And it wasn’t even from a cellphone nu
