On the normal streets in Obasecho, a town over from Nakatsu's restaurant in Funahashicho, Rano walks and talks with a fish, while Taehyun talks with a turtle.

(Japanese)

Rano: May I ask why you and Yesung strolling through these streets right now when your concert is in a few days?

Donghae: Today is break-day from all of our practicing. I can't believe I'm talking normally with a fan right now.

Rano: Well, don't worry. You guys would be in hell if I were to make noise about you guys here.

Donghae: True.

Rano: May I ask you where we're going?

Donghae: To our hotel.

Rano: Wait, what?! Why?!

Donghae: So you can meet the rest of us. I have a feeling I can trust you two, as crazy as it may be.

Rano: But won't we be in trouble?

Donghae: Not when you're our tour guides. ;)

Rano: Ohh. I gotcha.

(Korean)

Yesung: Hey, listen, uhh..

Taehyun: Yeah?

Yesung: While we're walking through here, let's not..

Taehyun: Show that we are what we showed back at Nakatsu's place?

Yesung: Yes. You took the words right out of my mouth. Haha

Taehyun: Well, I figured that because if you get exposed, I get exposed too and we both go through hell.

Yesung: You think well.

Taehyun: Thank you..

Yesung: I've never walked through Japan before like this..

Taehyun: Me, neither. I haven't been much out of America for years.

Yesung: Then this will be an experience for us, both! ^^

(English)

Taehyun: Yo, Rano! Where the hell are we going??

Rano: Sus habitaciones.

Taehyun: Are you serious?! Won't we get in trouble?

Rano: Not if we're their "tour guides" as Mr. Fish just told me.

Taehyun: Alright.... (Did my life literally go from hell to the best gift on earth?)

The four continue walking towards Super Junior's hotel in Kitahorie.

(Korean)

Yesung: Hey, dongsaeng (meaning younger brother/sister), are we heading back to the hotel?

Donghae: Yes, we are.

Yesung: But what about them? They can get in trouble.

Donghae: Relax. I got this.

Yesung: I hope so. We're lucky they're 18.

Taehyun: And why is that?

Yesung: Because it's illegal for us to date someone under 18, especially in our contracts.

Donghae: We're lucky that dating ban got lifted.

Taehyun: You had a dating ban?

Donghae: Yes. And now that's gone, you and your boyfriend can makeout when we get to our room, instead of in front of everyone at Naka's restaurant.

Yesung and Taehyun blush in embarassment.

Taehyun & Yesung: Haha...

Yesung: Didn't think you guys were paying attention..

(Japanese)

Rano: What are you guys talking about?!

Donghae: I'm not saying it out loud. Hello, we're in Japan, so we'll talk when we get there.

Rano: Ehhhh. -____________-

(Korean)

Taehyun: She hates feeling left out of stuff since her and I aren't really much of the popular kind back home.

Yesung: Well, you're getting all of the attention here based on how everyone seems to be looking towards you, even from across the street.

Donghae: Well, look how he's dressed, which I must say is a very good outfit you have on, right now.

Taehyun: Thank you! ^^ (Now I have idols complimenting on my appearance?! Why am I acting so normal..)

(Japanese)

GM#4: Hey!!!

Rano: What the-

GM#4: You're that who messed around with us before!

Donghae: Hey! Watch your-

Rano steps in front of them.

Rano: Didn't we take care of you before?

GM#4: Your little friend might've done some heavy damage to the rest of us, but I'm still standing.

Gang Member #4 pulls out his katana, and every civilian in their radius backs away from the scene, leaving this potential fight an instant scene of action.

(English)

Rano: I didn't know he had a sword!!

Taehyun: How could you not catch that?.. I even saw that when we first encountered them. They had it hiding, and quite well-blended with one of the walls back in the alley.

GM#4: Quite the clever boy.

Taehyun: Well there was some parts of the case where the light reflected off, so it wasn't a total secret. To think they wouldn't use it on us...because they underestimated two fresh adults.

GM#4: Call it that. You punks had it easy. You might've gotten everyone else, but I'm here and I'll hit 1000 times harder than before.

Rano: Is that so?

Taehyun: Rano, no....I have this.

Yesung: Taehyun!

Taehyun (Korean): Don't worry. I'll be fine.

Taehyun drops down his backpack, pulls out the "umbrella" from it, and pull out the katana that's hidden inside it.

Rano: You had a ing katana all this time?! How the did you get that threw security??

Taehyun: I have my ways of it. I knew I would need it eventually.

Donghae (Korean): I don't think this is wise!

Rano (Japanese): Don't worry. He'll be fine. Maybe a cut on the arm, at most, but he'll be fine.

(Chinese)

Taehyun: So, you ready?

GM#4: You know Chinese..

Taehyun: It's what happens with you live with of Korean parents, who are also fluent in Chinese, as well as having pretty traditional Chinese neighbors.

GM#4: Either way, I'm gonna end you...

Taehyun: Such the attitude in front of all these people is so rude..

Gang Member #4 starts running in an attacking form towards Taehyun, only to be stopped after Taehyun seems to have flash stepped (A Bleach term) right past him. The gang member started bleeding all over his left side, which held the katana, since he's a lefty. The entire scene was as quiet as a ghost town. Taehyun walks back to his backpack, puts away his sword.

(English)

Taehyun: Let's go.

(Chinese)

Taehyun: By the way, this isn't even my best form. This is nothing, compared to what I've could've done, but that would've made a huge scene and I would never get out of it. Think of this as me sparing your life..again.

Without a word, the four walked away as if nothing happened. The gang member just sits there speechless with a bleeding arm.

Being close to the hotel.

(English)

Rano: When did you learn that...

Taehyun: Remember that two-week long special class I had?

Rano: Yeah?

Taehyun: I learned how to do that and some other things.

Rano: So you might be more than I thought, huh.

Taehyun: Yeah.

(Korean)

Yesung: To think...

Taehyun: I know..

Yesung: My boyfriend is like a badass ninja!!

Taehyun: Wait, what?

Yesung: I think I made a really good choice. You're special. I like it.

Donghae & Taehyun: ..................

Yesung: At least I'm not scared or anything. I was actually pretty amazed, but you can't fight like that in public ever again, or you'll get a load of attention.

Taehyun: I know.

Donghae: For now, let's act like this never happened, nor can we wear this attire for a while. We'll get recognized easily.

Donghae says that to Rano in Japanese to make sure she knows.

All four of the travelling crew make it to the hotel. Donghae and Yesung reveal their full hair and face to be able to check-in and receive their hotel keys.

(Japanese)

Receptionist: Who are they?

Donghae: They're our tour guides. We met them while strolling through and they are pretty helpful. We're letting them chill out with us for a little while, but we'll be back later to head out again.

The receptionist gives a long and cold stare at Donghae, while Donghae reflects the same, all in quick moment of brinkmanship.

Receptionist: You're quite a good liar.

Donghae: You're gonna rat on us?

Receptionist: Depends. Do they have IDs?

Rano: Yes, in matter of fact.

Rano takes both her and Taehyun's IDs and passports out of their bags and shows them to the receptionist.

Receptionist: Fine. You're off the hook. I can't believe I'm doing this, but here you go. I'm giving you keys, as well to their room. Return them when you leave, but come back to check-in when you return from whatever trip you make later on, but keep hush. I'm not supposed to do this, but with the way Mr. Good Starer presents this situation, it must be for good reason. 

(Korean) 

Receptionist: It's been a long time, Taehyun...

Taehyun: So this is where you headed off to.

Receptionist: I had to. Not specifically here, but I couldn't afford being over there much longer. I would've been dead.

Taehyun: You knew I was there to help you, Hyunnam.

Hyunnam: It's Toshi, for now. Now, get going. We'll talk soon.

Taehyun: Fine. My number didn't change, you know.

Hyunnam: Alright. Later.

The four get in the elevator and wait as it goes up 42 floors.

(English)

Rano: That's not who I thought it was..

Taehyun: Yes..it was.

Rano: I missed him.

Taehyun: So do I..

(Korean)

Yesung: A friend of yours?

Taehyun: Yeah. I'll explain later, now is not a good time for it.

Yesung: Ok.

Donghae: We're almost there.

The elevator stops on the 43rd floor.

Yesung, Taehyun, and Rano follow Donghae to their hotel room. Super Junior's rooms are split up as follows: Sungmin, Ryeowook, and Shindong as one room; Kangin, Leeteuk, and their manager as the next; Yesung and Donghae as another; Siwon, Eunhyuk, and Kyuhyun as the last room. The four enter an elegant, well-spaced, two-bed room with a bathroom and cooking space. A 42" plasma TV faces the beds from the other side of the room, and a sliding door deep into the room leads to patio with a wonderful view of both a load of common buildings, as well as a park for an almost-far view.

Donghae: And this is where we stay for now. Taehyun, you share a bed with Yesu-

 

Taehyun: But we're already staying at this hotel, but on another floor. We came here with Rano's father and a friend of mine, who always knows her father.

Donghae: Ahh.

Yesung: Then why didn't you say that before?

Sungmin: Because Taehyun's a clever kid.

Taehyun: Sungmin!

Taehyun runs after Sungmin and hugs him.

Yesung: Wait, what the hell did I miss?

Taehyun: It's been so long.

Sungmin: I know. Have you practiced?

Taehyun: You could say practiced.

Sungmin: You didn't...

Taehyun: Someone tried to pull up a fight. Rano and I met him in an alley with his gang of 6 others early in the morning. We killed a couple, but one survived my special technique. He came after us again while we were with Donghae and Yesung.

Donghae: He pulled out a katana.

Yesung: So Taehyun pulled out his.

Donghae: And then....

Yesung: It's like he teleported....and the guy's arm started bleeding.

Sungmin: Can I see your katana?

Taehyun pulls the katana from his bag and gives it to Sungmin.

Sungmin: Not even the smallest spack of blood on it..

Taehyun: ......

Sungmin pets Taehyun's head with satisfaction.

Sungmin: You've gotten better. Maybe one day we can fight.

Taehyun: I remember the last time we fought.

Sungmin: That was an O.K. fight. We weren't as good as we were when you finished that special training.

Taehyun: I'm still thankful for it.

Yesung: OK, what is going on?!

Sungmin: I think Taehyun should explain it to you when you two are alone.

Taehyun: !

Sungmin: Don't think I didn't notice. Yesung has a pretty readable face. For us, that is.

Yesung: .....

Taehyun: We're keeping it at a private status, for now. Technically, I'm a "tour guide" along with Rano for these two in Japan.

Sungmin: Did you run into anyone else?

Taehyun: Nope.

Sungmin: Good.

Taehyun's phone rings with Shanghai Romance (sung by Orange Caramel [an After School subgroup]). Yesung starts dancing to it in enjoyment.

Donghae: .............

Yesung: Don't judge me.

Taehyun picks up the phone.

Yesung: Aww....

(English)

Taehyun: Hello?

Janice: Where are you guys?

Taehyun: Don't worry, we're fine. We're actually in the hotel, but we ran into a friend here in the hotel and we're chilling out in their room.

Janice: Oh, thought you guys were outside.

Taehyun: Why?

Janice: A Japanese man was killed by some dude with a katana a little while ago. The guy they described sounded like your height, but they couldn't give a description of a face, but they're not considering him a criminal since witnesses said he was being attacked by that Japanese man.

Taehyun: Do they have any other descriptions?

Janice: Tourist clothing.

Taehyun: Oh..

Janice: Well, knowing you're here, we shouldn't have to worry. I'll talk to you later. Next time, leave a note or something before you just leave.

Taehyun: Hahaha, sorry about that.

Janice: I'm out.

Taehyun hangs up the phone.

Rano: So you're now being recognized?

Taehyun: With very little description of myself. Just my clothing and height.

Rano: Then that means you're gonna change before you leave later, skip the backpack, don't bring the katana, and make sure people can see your innocent face so that no one can know you did. They won't believe you did it.

Taehyun: Ok.

Sungmin: Lemme go with you. You don't know what can happen here.

Taehyun: Alright.

(Korean)

Yesung: Wait! Where are you going?

Taehyun kisses Yesung passionately.

Taehyun: I'll be right back. Gonna change my clothes and all for when we leave later on.

Yesung: Ok, but be quick.

Taehyun: I will.

Taehyun and Sungmin walk out of the hotel room and head towards the elevator. Both actually stay pretty quiet until they reach the elevator and wait for it to arrive.

(English)

Sungmin: This started today didn't it..

Taehyun: What did?

Sungmin: What else would "start"?

Taehyun: Ohhhh....yeah, it did.

Sungmin: It'll do him good. He's actually been feeling a bit lonely lately and him being in a country where he can't really relate to a lot, you'll make him feel a lot better. Be prepared for him to get clinged onto you.

Taehyun: I don't think I'll mind that at all. I'm actually passing out in my head from all of this. Meeting Yesung and Donghae, Yesung liking me, and all of this, except the fighting bit. Still, all of this...I don't why I haven't screamed my heart out, yet.

Sungmin: Hahahahahahahahaha. You'll get used to it.

Taehyun: I hope so. After meeting him for 15 minutes, sharing pancakes with him, then I of all people start a love-fest with him.

Sungmin: Did you really?

Taehyun: He told me he had feelings for me!

Elevator arrives. Both enter it. Taehyun presses his floor button and the door closes. Both have a chit-chat of on the way to Taehyun's suite, catching up on everything they missed. A couple of laughs here and there.

The two reach Taehyun's room.

Taehyun: Can you wait out here?

Sungmin: Sure.

Taehyun goes into the empty apartment. Confused about Rick and Janice not being there, he notices a note that reads: "Dear Taehyun & Rano, Janice and I stepped out to do some shopping. We trust that you guys can watch after yourselves while we're here, just be careful. From, Rick." Taehyun then finds his clothes in his backpack and releases them from the SpaceBag (A product that can flatten out clothes, using a vacuum, and keeps them small and compact, as well as sealed in to provide space for other important things [Not trying to advertise, only inform those who don't know what it is xDD]) and gets changed in the bathroom. Sungmin, meanwhile, checks his phone and notices a text message from Eunhyuk saying in Korean "Sungmin! Who the hell is Donghae making out with?!?!?! And why is Yesung just laying on the other bed like he's daydreaming?!?!?!??!?!?!! Please come back quickly!". Sungmin replies stating how it's nothing to worry about and he'll be back in their suite soon. Taehyun finally comes out, with a brand new outfit on, but still holding onto the backpack. He seems to have some beauty products on to keep a cleaner face on.

Sungmin: Ready?

Taehyun: Yup!

Sungmin and Taehyun head to the elevator, which is surprisingly still on Taehyun's floor since it never left. The two enter it and the door closes. Sungmin presses his floor's button and the elevator starts elevating.

Sungmin: I have a question.

Taehyun: Mwo?

Sungmin: Do you really LOVE Yesung?

Taehyun: Describe your meaning of it.

Sungmin: That you really wanna be with him as long as you can, through spick and span.

Taehyun: Of course!

Sungmin: Ok. Just checking.

Taehyun starts singing the first verse of B1A4's "Baby Goodnight". Sungmin, stunned by his amazing vocals, decides to join in since he happens to know the song, as well. Once they finish singing the chorus, the elevator reaches SuJu's floor and both get out the elevator.

Sungmin: Eunhyuk texted me while you were off getting changed. You're gonna be in for a surprise.

Taehyun: WHY?!?

Sungmin: It's not exactly a surprise FOR you, but it is something you'll be shocked to see.

Taehyun: ............ Now I don't know if I wanna go in or not.

Sungmin unlocks the suite's door, and both go in to see the following: Donghae and Rano making out like there's no tomorrow and Eunhyuk shaking the hell out of a man who seems spaced out.

(Korean)

Eunhyuk: Thank goodness you're here. Can one of you help me wake up this idiot from his love-like slumber?

Taehyun: Oh, dear.

Yesung: Taehyun?????

Taehyun: Hey.

Yesung gets up and runs towards Taehyun to hug him.

Eunhyuk: ........What is going on here?

Sungmin: I'll explain later, but you better keep your mouth shut.

Eunhyuk: Alrighty then.

Taehyun: You look like you missed me to death.

Sungmin: That's what happens when someone has stepped deep into his love life.

Eunhyuk: You better not act like this at the concert!

Yesung: Oh, I know that.

Sungmin: Nor backstage.

Yesung: Damn.

Eunhyuk: Now what do we do about them?

Everyone stares at Rano and Donghae's little lovefest.

Taehyun: YEAH! GET SOME, DONGHAE!

Donghae and Rano stop instantly, with an embarassed look on their faces.

(English)

Taehyun: Had fun without me?
