BUT KANGIN STANS MUST HAVE CRIED EVEN HARDER.. 

THIS IS SO SAD...AND FRUSTRATING.. 

==========================================

Shindong took Ryeowook to the nearest restaurant and he couldn't just believe what the eternal maknae has said to him

"I need to loosen up, hyung" Ryeowook said, emotionless

Shindong knew Ryeowook has a high alcohol tolerance but it seems that the younger really does want to get drunk

"Wook, no, Leeteuk hyung might get mad at us and scold us, especially me, because I'm the oldest here"

"Then just leave me here"

"What the—no! I won't leave you here, look, Wookie, you can just confront Yesung hyung, maybe this is all a misunderstanding, you are just thinking things that aren't true!"

"I can't hyung, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that what I am thinking is true, I can't take that" Ryeowook feel his eyes getting hot and he knew he will be crying again

Shindong looked at Ryeowook sadly, he doesn't know what is the real problem but base on what he heard earlier, it has something to do with Yesung's doing or whatever it is

So Shindong just hugged his dongsaeng and Ryeowook automatically let out the tears that is threatening to fall

And he joined the maknae just so he can feel that there are always the ones beside him

Tomorrow came by and Ryeowook woke up with a heavy headache

He glanced at his surroundings and he is so thankful that he is in their room

"I probably got that drunk last night, thank God, Shindong hyung brought me here in time, good thing also that Leeteuk—"

"—and you woke up now, I've been waiting for you to woke up, Kim Ryeowook" Ryeowook had his eyes gone wide when he saw Leeteuk, arms folded, staring at him with that scowl on his face, and leaning on their room's door

And of course, it's obvious that he is ready to scold the living daylights out of Ryeowook

And the younger knew how to deal with this actually, you just need to ready your ears and take the blows from their obviously mad leader and eomma

Look, he even had his arms on his hips as if he is truly your mother

Leeteuk was about to begin his wisdom words when suddenly Yesung entered the room

"Yah! can't you see that I'm standing here?!" Leeteuk said, annoyed

Yesung just took a brief glance at him before focusing his gaze to the youngest of them three "Hyung, just go back to your room, I will be the one asking this cute little boyfriend of mine" Yesung said still shooting a glare towards Ryeowook who shiver at its intensity

Leeteuk just heaved a sigh "Okay, I'll just go to Shindong" he said and left

Ryeowook wants to stop Leeteuk from scolding Shindong because he is the one in fault but of course, he have to deal with his boyfriend first

...until the events from their concert tour flashed before him and then the feeling of sadness slowly getting back to him

That's the reason why I got wasted last night

And he recall not wanting to confront Yesung so he decided to... 

....just avoid his boyfriend

And just as Yesung was about to have a long talk with his lover, Ryeowook literally dash off their room, not caring about his headache just to avoid the latter

And there, Yesung was left dumfounded

Just what the hell happened? 

He knew..he knew now, that there is definitely something going on with Ryeowook and he needs to find it out

"Aishh, this is so frustrating, since when do Wookie act like that to me?"

Ryeowook huffed outside the room, still catching his breath from the run he did earlier, he decided to take a troll outside to ease his mind and to mend his headache, but he eyed what he was wearing and he chuckled "I guess I could go back to our room to catch some clothes and to bathe also, I just have to be aware of Yesung hyung though" He said as he sighed

He never thought that he will be avoiding his boyfriend like what he's doing right now

After some minutes of being a ninja, I mean, reassuring of not crossing path with Yesung, Ryeowook successfully got inside their room, locking it and hurriedly went inside the bathroom

After some minutes inside the bathroom, Ryeowook pull out a jeans and a simple pink shirt

Glancing at the mirror to check his appearance, Ryeowook smiled to himself, and frown when the headache strikes

Did I really drank that much last night?

Sighing, he was about to open the door when someone beat him into it

"E-Eunhyuk hyung?" Ryeowook look at the other cause of his pain

Eunhyuk eyed the younger for a while and slightly glared at him "And where do you think you're going?"

Ryeowook just rolled his eyes as an answer and pushed passed Eunhyuk "Yah! how rude!" Eunhyuk scoffed

Ryeowook paid no attention to him and just went on to walking, but he was stopped by Siwon blocking his way

Ryeowook throw a glare at him

"Manager wants us to meet him, he has to announce something, and don't go anywhere, Wookie" Siwon calmly said as he left

Ryeowook sighed again and followed Siwon, soon Ryeowook found himself with his other members and he went beside Shindong who gave him a wide smile

"Okay, now that you're complete, guys, we have to leave tomorrow for the ELF festival in Japan" The manager started

"Oh, we nearly forgot that event hahaha" Eunhyuk said

"All of you just need to be in the airport in 6 am, Kyuhyun will land on Japan first and you'll just meet him there"

Upon hearing Kyuhyun's name, Ryeowook's face enlightens and a smile etched on his face, Yesung who is observing him from the start, frowns at his reaction

What does that mean?

"That's all—oh wait, I'm not yet done, Shindong, Ryeowook"

Shindong and Ryeowook flinched when their name was being called, Shindong straightened himself while Ryeowook just stood there, head low

"Where were you two last night?" Their manager asks

Shindong and Ryeowook exchanges glances

Yesung observed the two

So they are out last night? why didn't I notice that? 

Ryeowook heaved a long sigh and decided to speak for them two, but the ringing of their manager's phone beat him into it, so the manager just sighed "I don't want you two to go out without telling your leader, guys, I don't know what to do if there's something happened to you, and we're not even in our own country, we can't guarantee everything here" The two just nodded their head and the manager dismissed them and left

Just then, Heechul pulled Ryeowook near to him "What did you two do last night huh?"

"Nothing, hyung—" Seeing Ryeowook flinch, Shindong pulled him beside him and answered Heechul instead

"It's nothing, Chullie hyung, our maknae just want to see the beauty of Indonesia so I just went with him, and to eat on the restaurants also" Shindong said laughing as he dragged Ryeowook outside

Yesung was about to follow when Eunhyuk blocked his way "Hyung, you promised to join me on buying souvenirs here" Eunhyuk whined and tugged on Yesung's arm

Yesung sent a glare at him but he complied nevertheless

"Yah! Hyuk! why are you coming with Yesung hyung? I'm your boyfriend here, bastard! Yesung hyung should be with Wookie!" Donghae shouted

Leeteuk slapped Donghae's back, the latter yelp and turn around just to see their leader glaring at him while talking with someone else in the phone

"I couldn't hear Kyuhyunie clearly because of you Donghae!" 

Heechul went beside Donghae and hugged him "Don't scold him, tsss"

Leeteuk just rolled his eyes

Shindong glanced at Ryeowook who is staring at the people passing by, 

"Did you talk with Yesung hyung?" Ryeowook was startled at Shindong's question as he harshly turned his head towards him

"Hyung~~ I said I can't!"

"Wookie, I'm sure, Yesung hyung and Eunhyuk is not a thing, Eunhyuk has Donghae and Yesung hyung is with you, how can you think of them being together?"

Ryeowook sighed (count how many his sigh for this chapter, oh ahmm nevermind) "But what if...what if it's true? even Kyu is thinking the same with me!"

"Kyuhyun?—" Just then, Ryeowook's phone ring and he excused himself to Shindong who just give him a nod

Confused as to why the younger is calling him, Ryeowook put the phone against his ear "Why?"

"[Hello should be the first answer on the phone]"

Ryeowook rolled his eyes "So?"

"[Haha, I just called to know how are you, Leeteuk hyung called me and he said, hey, your bestfriend did something last night, he is out last night and came to the hotel, drunk]" Kyuhyun said on the other line while laughing

Ryeowook laughed along too "Yeah, I'm just...I'm just frustrated, I don't even know what am I doing! and if it's not for Shindong hyung, I bet I wouldn't be back on the hotel"

"[Yeah, thank Shindong hyung, oh by the way, while I was talking with Leeteuk hyung, I heard Eunhyuk hyung whined about Yesung hyung's promise to him]"

Ryeowook frowned at the mentiom of the two names but he asks anyway "Promise?"

"[Yeah, Eunhyuk hyung wants Yesung hyung to come with him in a souvenir shop and guess what! your boyfriend cheerfully complied! like you know, he seems enjoying being together with Eunhyuk hyung]"

"Really?" Ryeowook replied slowly, preventing the tears that is threatening to fall

He heard a 'tsk tsk tsk' sound coming from Kyuhyun before the younger decided to talk again "[Donghae hyung even complain to Eunhyuk hyung, because he is clinging to Yesung hyung like it's him that he's in a relationship with]"

Ryeowook is speechless, he doesn't know what to say

"O...okay, Kyuhyun, ahmm just see you tomorrow.."

"[Wookie, I'm sorry, I didn't want to let you know about this but I just want you to be wake up, Yesung hyung is probably getting on the way towards cheating, and if you find him doing that, like in front of you, just don't hesitate to come to me, bestfriends help each other right and Wookie, don't confront him]"

"Why?" Ryeowook ask between his sobs

"[Just avoid him, okay?]"

"D..do I have to break up with him?"

"[Yes—I mean no, you are not the one who will do it, let him end it, it's his fault anyway]"

"B-but I love him, Kyu, I can't..."

"[Stop that Ryeowook, gosh, maybe Yesung hyung just not for you, there are plenty of people to be with, Wookie, some are just waiting, some just realized their mistake and just follow what their heart wants—ahmm okay, I gotta go, see you tomorrow, bye, take care]"

Ryeowook just hung up without saying anything, he even didn't hear Kyuhyun's last words

"Maybe I should just avoid Yesung hyung"

That, and Ryeowook decided to avoid his boyfriend

For who knows, how long....
