I Promise

Under Your Spotlight

DONGHAE'S POV

That was the picture of ____ and I. The one which the members took of the both of us when I was singing to her, my arms around her waist, kissing her on the forehead.

Super Junior Donghae's girlfriend revealed after fan picked up her lost mobile during Super Show 3 in Guangzhou, the headlines read. 

. This can't be happening. I touched the link to the article, impatiently tapping my fingers on the screen while waiting for it to load. The pictures we took together, screenshots of the mushy conversations we shared, ..they were all revealed. My heart sank, colours drained from my face. A fan had picked up her phone which she had dropped amongst the seats and as she was trying to search for means to contact the owner to return it, she discovered the wallpaper on the phone. The fan had uploaded all the photos we took together, revealed all the conversations we shared. This was...this was just ridiculous.

"You alright ? You don't look too good.." Leeteuk who had just finished setting up his laptop asked, noticing the expression on my face.

"H-hyung.." I choked.

His face then revealed a worried expression as he saw how much I was trembling and he rushed towards me, grabbing the iPad and stared at the screen. He too, was caught off guard. both of us realising how much trouble we've gotten into. 

"We have to tell manager hyung," he said with a serious expression on his face.

"B..bu-" I tried to reason with him but got interrupted instead.

"WE HAVE TO, Donghae. We have to. The situation has already gotten this serious and we have to. There's no other choice. He's going to find out anyway and we can't hide it." He insisted.

I couldn't help but tear up. What have we both done so wrong to deserve something like this ? It just wasn't fair. Nevertheless, Leeteuk patted me on my back and urged him to leave the room to look for our manager, bringing the iPad along with him. Things were going to get nasty.

 

I knocked on manager hyung's room door, my heart beating like crazy. I had never been this nervous, I swear. He opened the door, looking slightly tired. After all, it was already close to 11pm and we all had a long day.

"Hyung.." Leeteuk said, looking at me nervously before looking at him again.

"Ye ?" He responded, rubbing his eyes. "Ah, come in first."

We went in the room, Leeteuk slowly handing him the iPad. He studied the screen, the wearied expression on his face slowly changing. I could tell from the look on his face he was furious and greatly shocked at the same time. He threw the iPad on the bad, staring right back at me. Shucks.

"Explain. AND EXPLAIN NOW !" He shouted, fuming with anger.

"___..I, we.." I stuttered. I couldn't speak. I felt myself choking up. 

"How long have you two been dating ?! And why didn't you tell me anything ?! YOU MAD ?!" He hollered, not caring if the hotel guests next door would be disturbed. "AND YOU, why did you side them hide it from me too ?! Being the leader, couldn't you tell from right and wrong ?!" He turned to Leeteuk.

Leeteuk bowed his head, his usual chatterbox self long gone. After all, who wouldn't be afraid of an angry manager ?

"We started dating since 14th August, the day of our opening concert," I managed to whisper in the deafening silence. 

By now, manager hyung was too angry to say anything, fanning himself. Leeteuk then bowed, apologising to him. I couldn't help but feel guilty, it wasn't his fault, he was just trying to help me. The both of us then stood stood there, not moving an inch. 

Manager hyung then dialed a number using the phone in the room. "____-sshi, come to my room. Now." he instructed, not sounding to pleased. It was only then till I finally moved, looking up at manager hyung, who was now eyeing the room door. 

 

YOUR POV

I hung up. Perhaps manager oppa received news about my phone ! For a moment I heaved a sigh a relief, until I entered the room, with 3 pairs of eyes staring right at me. I gulped.

He explained to me what had happened, showing me the article on the internet. I gripped the iPad tightly, trembling as I slowly started to tear. My face was clearly shown in the photographs, there was no way I could deny anything right now. The worst had happened. But I wasn't prepared. 

"I thought you were sensible despite your young age, ____ ! I trusted you, because you were a dedicated trainee, because you were hardworking, because you were always so honest with me, which is why I assigned you the lead role in several performances. BUT WHAT IS THIS ?! You've disappointed me, ____." He said, raising his voice.

"I'm..I'm s-sorry.." I sobbed. What could I have said ? What's done has been done. Even my apology was of no use.

"The damage has been done and there is basically no point apologising so YOU. Are going to explain to the management company YOURSELF ! AND SO WILL THE 2 OF YOU ! Now all of you leave and give me some peace ! Aish !" He shouted, rubbing his temples. 

I was still holding onto the iPad, my legs rooted to the ground until Donghae pulled me out of the room, bringing me to his together with Leeteuk. 

He sat me down on the bed, with his hands holding mine tightly as I continued to stare at the screen. This isn't what's supposed to happen. 

"I'm..really sorry Leeteuk oppa, for getting you into trouble.. I..I know I wouldn't be able to make up for it no matter how many times I apologise b-but, I'm sorry, for bringing in such a mess and causing so much trouble for the group. I will be responsible for my mistakes when we return back to Korea tomorrow.." I said, holding back my tears, apologising sincerely. 

"Though you were careless, you're not entirely to blame, ____," Leeteuk comforted me. "We were all to blame, for hiding it from manager hyung as well.. Don't be too hard on yourself, alright ? We'll get through this together. We helped the both of you get together, so we'll be here for you two all the way. I promise, and I'm sure the other members would to."

I teared. As much as I wanted to apologise profusely, there was no point. I sighed. There was nothing I could do to ease the situation. The cause for this was all because of my carelessness after all. If only I had listened to Donghae, to stay indoors instead of going out in the rain, been more careful, all this wouldn't be happening and we would still be living in our little fairytale. 

"I'm always behind you, alright ? I promised to protect you, and I will. Don't worry about anything for now, I'll take care of it.." Donghae assured, wiping away my tears before wrapping his arms around me, allowing me to bury my face in his neck. "Don't cry, don't cry anymore.."

He rubbed my back, trying to sooth me and after I had more or less calmed down, he said softly, the warmth in his voice embracing me, "It's late. Take a shower and get some sleep, it'll make you feel better. We still have a morning flight to catch tomorrow." 

He gently pulled away, looking into my eyes, smiling a little before holding my hand and getting up. "C'mon, I'll walk you back to your room."

I got up and said goodnight, once again apologising before excusing myself. They were all supposed to be resting after a tiring concert now, yet I've stirred up all these trouble. Nevertheless, Donghae walked me back to my room, stopping at the door. 

"Don't stay up too late.." I said, looking down at our hands.

"You too. Remember to dry your hair before going to bed or you'll catch a cold, alright ? Rest well, don't think about it anymore," he said, trying his best to smile. As much as he tried to hide it, I've seen through him, all the sadness behind his eyes. "Now be good and go in,"

I didn't budge. I wanted his company so badly. I didn't want him to go, though it was just a few rooms away. As much as I wished we could spend the night together, unnie was already asleep, so it wasn't too convenient. Besides, I wouldn't want to cause anymore trouble for anyone. This was enough. 

He sighed. "I'll be the first thing you see in the morning. I promise." he pressed his lips on my forehead for a while before pulling away. 

Reluctantly, I turned my back against him to enter my room, as he too, did the same, walking away to his.
