Chapter 5

Am I Too Late?

DONGHAE's POV

 

"Hi, I'm Zhoumi, nice to meet all of you," a tall Chinese guy bowed and greeted us with a smile. Beside him is a kid, a bit smaller than me, with really chubby cheeks and --- let's just say he's really adorable.

 

"I'm Henry Lau, I hope we get along," he said, obviously a bit shy since he didn't meet our eyes and just look down.

 

"I'm Cho Kyuhyun"

 

"Hi, I'm Choi Siwon"

 

"My name's Kim Ryeowook"

 

"Aiden," I said and all of them looked at me and I smirked.

 

"I'm Aiden Lee," I continued and Hankyung-hyung placed his arms around me.

 

"That's his english name, but his Korean name is Donghae, and I'm Hankyung," hyung explained in fast Chinese.

 

I made my way to shake hands with Zhoumi. He's really really tall but he looks kind and I think we'll get along just fine. But this kid... I stared at him, while he's looking down, obviously nervous and afraid to look at me. He looks theodore in alvin and the chipmunks! Finally, I can't contain his cuteness, I lunged at him and gave him a tight hug.

 

"Hyung, you'll hurt him," I heard Ryeowokkie chuckled as they watch the scene. I released him and he was gasping for air.

 

"Sorry. Mochi~ I should call you Mochi~ Let's get along, shall we?" I said, properly giving a hand shake. He looked at my eyes first before smiling cutely and taking it. I instantly knew that we'll be close.

 

"Sorry about that Henry. Donghae's just really...clingy and I bet he'll be more childish than you," Hankyung-hyung explained and I payfully glared at him.

 

"Yeah. He's older than me but he acts like a five-year old, seriously," Kyuhyun added.

 

"Hyung, how many rooms do we have?" Wookie asked.

 

"Uhm...There are 4 rooms, so pick your partner and choose a room," hankyung-hyung answered.

 

"Come on, mochi!" I grabbed Henry's hand and walked towards the second floor to choose a room. He just let me drag me and I got to choose the one that overlooks the beach. Oh, we're staying in a resort, by the way. Henry's still quiet, though.

 

"Mochi~ are you still...nervous around me?" I asked him and he nodded.Sigh.

 

"Sorry if me being clingy surprised you. If it's...of it's making you feel uncomfortable at all, I'll stop, just tell me," my voice dropped. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. Not again.

 

I heard him laugh and I looked at him, quite surprised. "Sorry, I'm just---nervous, but I'm really glad you welcome me," he said, with a smile and I just had to smile back. "Let me introduce myself properly, I am Henry Lau, I originally came from Canada but I am Chinese, so, yeah," he finished, this time, offering me a proper hand shake, I took it.

 

"Lee Donghae, purely Korean," I simply answered back, "Hey, you dont mid if I call you Mochi, right?"

 

"It's okay, but---why mochi?"

 

 "Well, you really have chubby cheeks, you know," I answered back, looking at his reaction if ever I offended him or something.

 

"Haha, I get that a lot. Ahm--can I, give you a nickname too?" He asked, looking down again. I snickered and he looked at me so I nodded.

 

"Hae?" He blurted and I can feel my heart clench, from the nockname someone gave me. No, don't think about him now. I swore I'll forget whatever disgusting feeling I have for him. Don't back out now, Donghae.

 

"Can't you think of something else? Everyone practically calls me that, let's just have a nickname that the two of us can use, shall we?" I suggested, and thinking , maybe this will turn out good.

 

"Uhmm," Henry really looked like thinking a lot, "I got one, but I bet you won't like it," He whispered.

 

"Whatever name it is, I'm sure it'll fit me," I mischievously said, and urged him to say it.


"Dongdong?" He finally said, with that cute expression on his face, I pinched him and smiled widely.

 

"That's not bad at all," I said then we laughed together, then, someone knocked on the door.

 

"Hae? Eeteuk says he wants to talk to you," I heard Hankyung hyung said, opening the door and handing me the phone, I stared at it for awhile before pressign it on my ears, Henry watching me.

 

"Hello?" I cautiously said, I can hear noise from the other line.

 

"Yah! Donghae! Why did you leave without saying anything?!" Instead of Eeteuk-hyung, Heechul-hyung came shouting.

 

"Sorry, hyung, it was manager's idea not to tell you guys," I asnwered back, sitting on the bed and Henry followed, as I switch the call to speaker and told him to listen to my groupmates.

 

"Damn that manager..." Heenim muttered and I smiled, suddenly I can feel the homesickness.

 

"I miss you guys," I suddenly said and there was silence, even from the other line, that's when I realized...

 

"This call's on loud speaker, isnt?" I asked and there ws noise once again, they're too obvious, but Heenim just chuckled.

 

"Well, this call's on loud speaker too anyways," I informed them and I laughed at their suddedn outburst at how the other guys, especially Kyu, might make fun of him for being too worried and whatnot.

 

"Don't worry hyung, I'm just with Mochi," I said and smiled at Henry.

 

"Mochi?" I heard, not only Heechul-hyung but also Sungmin and Eeteuk-hyung's voice.

 

"Hi Sungmin-hyung and Eeteuk-hyung," I greeted, aware that they're listening.

 

"Henry is one of the two chinese of SuJu-M. He's really adorable and we're close already," I informed them as I told Mochi to greet them.

 

"Ahm..Hi, I'm Henry Lau, nice to meet all of you," he said and he was bombarded with questions from the guys, especially Heechul-hyung and saying stuff like to look after me.

 

"Hyung! I'm older than him, it's supposed to be the other way around," I complained, pouting and Henry laughed at my face.

 

"Hyung, he's pouting," Henry said, gradually getting close with the members through a call.

 

"I know you are older, but Henry-ah sounded more...mature," Heechul-hyung said again. then laughing, with the other members and Henry tagging along.

 

"Whatever," I said and just shove the phone to Henry and went out.

 

Seriously, everyone's babying me! Even making Henry look after me even if I am older...it's not like I can't take care of myself since I really can. Why are they sooo overly protective, anyway? They're never like this with Kyuhyunnie, Kibum or Wookie, who are younger than me...it annoys me sometimes. I can take care of myself! Why cant tey see that! I'm not even weak, i fact,I can say that I am rather strong and all. I was on my way out, when I tripped on something, I was ready to feel the impact of the carpeted floor, but it never came. Eh?

 

"Careful, now, DOngdong," Henry said, from my back, then I realized he's holding me to my waist to prevent me from falling. I stood properly.

 

"Are you upset? I'm sorry that I laughed with them," Henry said, looking down again. Damn it, how can you say mad with a kid like him if everytime he looks down, he looks like a lost puppy?

 

I took a deep breath, ""No, I'm not mad. It's okay," I said and smiled at him.

 

"Really? Thank you," he said, smiling radiantly again, "But I did promise Heechul-ssi that I'll take care of you, you know." ANd there we go again.

 

"Fine. FIne. Seriously, he's more motherly than Teukkie-hyung," I said, sitting down at the sofa, and Henry followed.

 

"But I'm a bit, jealous you know," he said, making me look at him with my brow rising.

 

"They really care about you a lot. All of them," He said with a smile as he switch on the TV. They do care for me, but not ALL.

 

"FOr sure they'll be like that to you too, just wait till Heecul-hyung sets his eyes on you, he'll squeeze you to death," I joked and we laughed.

 

"You know, I really want to have a baby brother," I told him and I acn see him smile.

 

"I really wanted a big brother," he answerd back.

 

"I guess we'll be siblings now, then?" I suggested.

 

"I like the sound of that."

 

Then, I added, "So now we have to take care of each other."
