***Donghae’s POV***

I was feeling sad…like really sad.

Everyone said one month would be far away, but actually, it wasn’t.

One month passed in the blink of an eye and I found myself on a plane to Taiwan without even realizing it.

You wonder how one month could pass that fast?

We had a lot of performances with Bonamana, then we had to travel to Singapore and other countries for some small promotional events.

Kyu had to stay at the hospital for one weekend, making us travel between tv studios and the hospital a lot.

We didn’t want him to be all alone.

Lin had stayed with him most of the time, as the maknae and her seemed to have formed a tight relationship, sort of like me and Lin, just Kyuhyun being her younger brother and me being her older brother, even though, technically we both are younger than her.

We had appeared on various shows, kicking Hyukjae’s  on Dream Team and making fans laugh on Star Golden Bell.

When we had time we played stupid little pranks on each other.

Shindong, Heechul, Hyukjae and I had played a little game, if anyone of us was going to fall asleep anywhere else than our own beds then the others are allowed to pour water over the one asleep.

It didn’t matter to me to be the first one to get caught.

Actually it had been quite fun and the fans loved it after we uploaded the videos on our twitter accounts.

Lin had yelled at us for flooding one of the couches in the backstage area of a TV show, when we caught Hyukjae sleeping.

“Guys, thanks a lot, now I can clean this mess up while you are filming. Great!” she had hissed pissed off.

Okay, seriously, from her point of view it hadn’t been so funny, but if you had seen Hyukjae’s face while the water was splashed on him?

Priceless!!!

Besides I caught Lin staring at a dripping wet Hyukjae and I’m certain that she liked what she saw, so she couldn’t be that mad at us, right?

So, as you can see, one month passed very quickly and so Siwon, Hankyung, Lin and I had to pack our stuff.

Honestly it was a depressing thing to do and the members, trying to “help” us but ending up to unpack what we had packed, just to hopefully make us stay, didn’t help at all.

I almost had to laugh, when I packed my stuff yesterday night and suddenly an angry Heechul entered the apartment, mumbling something about Lin, who seemed to have thrown him out of her apartment.

Apparently it hadn’t just been me, but everyone who packed was attacked by the members.

When finally this morning arrived I had been one of the first to be awake as I’m always nervous before a journey.

I had found myself making breakfast and then waking up everyone as I wanted to have a breakfast with everyone before leaving them for a month.

To my surprise everyone got out of the bed without any problems, even Leeteuk-hyung.

Apparently the leader had hidden his sadness of us leaving for a while as he burst out in tears as soon as he saw most of the members sitting on the floor in our apartment.

The last I woke up had been Hyukjae and Lin, who slept at Lin’s apartment ever since it was announced that we would be leaving for Taiwan.

At first I didn’t know about it, but one morning me and Leeteuk-hyung climbed up the stairs to the other apartment early in the morning, when we saw a very tired looking Hyukjae coming out of Lin’s apartment.

To say that we were a bit shocked was an understatement.

The whole day me and Leeteuk had glanced suspiciously at the couple until Lin got annoyed and demanded to know what all the weird looking was about.

“You and Hyuk-ya are already at that point in your relationship?” Leeteuk had finally asked in a low voice.

Lin, who at first didn’t really get what Leeteuk had asked, looked at us irritated.

“He wanted to know if you guys are ual active,” Heechul had shouted throughout the bus.

We had been on our way to a performance, with Lin being our driver.

The car had swayed a little.

Obviously Lin had been shocked about the question.

“HYUNG!” Hyukjae had yelled embarrassed.

Lin had blushed a deep shade of red.

“Anniyo!”

“You know about them, too?” I had asked Heechul.

Everyone snickered.

“Who doesn’t?” Kyuhyun had muttered, making us all laugh.

“Seriously, you can’t miss something like that, when you can’t find Hyukjae in his bed in the middle of the night and early in the morning,” Yesung had stated, looking up from his magazine.

“Yah, what are you doing in my room all the time?” Hyukjae had shouted annoyed.

“Duh, looking for some company?” Yesung had answered matter-of-factly.

“Guys, could you stop this discussion. We aren’t doing anything at night besides sleeping and if we were doing more it wouldn’t concern any of you!” Lin had said, making us all smirk.

“It would be weird if it would concern us, wouldn’t it?” Ryeowook, the innocent one, had asked making us all trip over from laughter.

So, whenever we had to find Hyukjae in the morning we would have to look in Lin’s apartment.

I had walked into Lin’s apartment this morning to wake up the couple.

Even though Lin had changed her password numerous times, whenever she got mad at me, she always ended up, giving me her password again.

I had entered Lin’s bedroom, protecting my eyes with my hands.

“Guys, you better are dressed or I might get blinded by what I’m going to see when I put down my hands!”

I could hear the two of them snicker, so I had put down my hands only to be met by the sight of two fully dressed people.

Lin had worked on her suitcase, trying to zip it, while Hyukjae had been sitting on her bed, busying himself with his laptop.

“Boring!” I had said.

“Yah, did you want to have a peep show?” Hyukjae had asked.

“Anniyo, saw you more often than I ever wanted to.”

Hyukjae had thrown a pillow at me.

I caught it with a smile.

“But I wouldn’t mind to see your girlfriend !”

“Yah!” with that Hyukjae had jumped off the bed, right at me, making me fall to the ground, with him on top of me.

I had laughed as he had tickled me mercilessly.

“If you can’t keep your fingers off of my girlfriend while being with her in Taiwan you will be in a lot of pain!” he had said jokingly.

I then had pulled him into a hug, keeping his arms imprisoned to the sides of his body.

“Yah!” Hyukjae had shouted in surprise.

“I’m going to miss you, Hyukie!” I had mumbled a bit embarrassed.

Hyukjae had stopped trying to escape and then had slung his arms around me tightly.

“I’m going to miss you, too, my fishy!”

“Okay, that’s enough. Too much EunHae cuteness in the morning. You two go and have breakfast while I’m finishing packing. I order you to spend the last remaining hours together! Now shoo!”

Lin had shooed us out of her apartment and we did as told.

I had spent some quality time with my best friend.

A few hours later it had been time to say goodbye to the other members.

It had been really hard as they all wanted to go to the airport with us, but Lin forbad it.

So, Heechul had clung to Hankyung begging him to stay, making the Chinese guy laugh.

I had said bye to each and every member, hugging them all.

One of the worst moments had been saying goodbye to Kyuhyun.

The kid had a hard time letting us go this time.

He hadn’t said anything, he just let me hug him, trying his best to bit back his tears.

“We’ll be back in no time, Kyu-ya!” I had said with a smile, receiving a small nod from the younger one.

When Lin had hugged the maknae, the poor guy let out a sob, but stifled it quickly.

“Bye, Küken, I’ll call you everyday!” Lin had mumbled touched.

“Promise?” Kyuhyun had asked, taking us all by surprise showing that much of emotion.

“Of course, Sweetheart!”

Hyukjae and I had hugged quickly as we had said our teary goodbyes in private already.

Obviously him and Lin had done the same thing last night as they both hugged each other for a moment and then let go of each other.

“Take care all of you! Stay healthy! Don’t bring shame to our group!” Leeteuk had said a bit emotional, too.

Everyone seemed really upset to see us leave, even the usually composed Sungmin looked ready to cry when I hugged him.

Finally Lin had clapped her hands.

“Okay, guys, time to go now. Don’t worry, we will back sooner than you can miss us. Don’t do anything stupid! I’ll try to call each day to see if everything is okay!”

“NEH!” everyone had shouted and with that we had left the apartment.

See, now you know why I’m feeling sad.

“Don’t be sad, Hae, I’m with you and we’ll be back soon!”

I glanced over to Lin, who was looking at me concerned.

She was sitting next to me on the plane ride, trying to cheer me up.

“Aren’t you sad at all?” I asked her surprised.

“Of course I am, but if we were both crying it wouldn’t be good. We wouldn’t stop and then we both would look horrible when we enter the airport in Taiwan.”

I brushed away my tears.

“Yah, what is that supposed to mean?”

Lin chuckled.

“That now, just you will be the one looking horrible when we’ll enter the airport!”

“Is that supposed to make me feel better?” I asked a little annoyed.

“Don’t know, but I’m quite happy with myself. I will look great upon our arrival and I don’t even have fans waiting for me!” Lin said teasingly.

I nudged her.

“Not helping at all!”

Lin giggled and then stood up to open the overhead locker.

She rummaged through her bag for a while, when she finally grinned satisfied.

She grabbed something and then closed the locker again.

I looked up at her in surprise, when I felt something touch my face.

She had placed some shades over my eyes.

“Here, that will help!” she said with a grin.

I took the shades in my hands to look at them.

“Yah, are you a shades thief? Those belong to Hyukie!” I said.

Lin chuckled.

“Neh, I know. He gave them to me. He already predicted you will be like that, so he wanted you to have them with you.”

I looked at the shades, touched by Lin’s words and Hyukjae’s behaviour, feeling new tears well up.

“Yah, will you stop that? Otherwise I’ll have to take the glasses away!” Lin said amused.

I quickly put the shades back on my nose, poking out my tongue at her.

“That’s my present from Hyuk, you have to earn your own one!”

Lin laughed out loud.

I giggled.

“How do I look with those glasses?”

Lin grinned at me.

“Stupid, but your smile makes up for it!”

I smiled.

Of course I would look stupid as those glasses looked horrid, way too big.

I don’t know when, but sometime ago Hyukjae started to buy stuff with a weird style.

The worst part, he could pull it off.

Somehow he didn’t look stupid with that sort of stuff.

I, on the other hand, couldn’t pull it off.

“Couldn’t he choose normal looking shades to give to me?” I mumbled a bit annoyed.

“Anniyo, normal ones wouldn’t have made you smile like an idiot!”

She was right.

I pulled out a little pocket mirror and took a look at myself.

I closed the mirror immediately.

“I look like a bee!” I said in horror.

Lin giggled and then I burst into laughter.

“I’m making Hyuk responsible if the press starts to write about my bad taste!”

“They won’t! You look cute!”

“You said stupid!” I corrected her.

“Just to annoy you, dongsaeng!”

“You !” I said amused.

“Neh, but you still love me?” she asked.

I nodded.

“Don’t worry, Donghae-ya, we’ll have some fun in Taiwan, too!”

Soon after that we arrived at Taoyuan Airport.

Obviously there were a lot of fans waiting for us, at least that was what Lin told us after she had talked to some staff at the airport.

I placed the shades on my nose and waited for Siwon and Hankyung to collect their stuff.

“Guys, you will go with the security after I made sure all of our stuff made it from the plane to the car.”

“Won’t you be with us?” Siwon asked.

“I’ll be waiting for you at the arrival hall!”

We nodded and Lin disappeared.

The security guys whisked us from the plane to a car waiting at the ground.

As usually, we wouldn’t walk through all the security checks as we were driven from the plane to another entrance into the airport building.

“Yah, you two, be prepared to smile. Press and fans are waiting!” Hankyung commanded.

Siwon and I both nodded, putting some overboard smiles on our faces.

“Can’t you make it a bit more realistic?” Hankyung said, rolling his eyes.

Immediately both of our smiles dropped from our faces.

“Yah, you two, just…AISH!” Hankyung mumbled annoyed.

Siwon and I blinked at each other before we started to laugh.

“Don’t worry, hyung, we were just messing around!” I said.

Siwon nodded and then smiled a beautiful smile.

“See, we’ll be able to make everyone happy!”

Hankyung sighed.

“Everyone but me. Thank goodness Lin has to babysit the two of you most of the time!”

We both laughed.

We had to wait for a while, until one of the securities got the signal from Lin, I guess, that everything was ready for us to leave the airport.

As we entered the arrival hall we could hear loud screaming from a lot of fans.

We all smiled happily at the fans.

I had to laugh about some particular stupid banners, showing Hyukjae and I.

“Hyung, look at that!”

I looked over to where Siwon was pointing.

There was a banner showing Siwon, Hyukjae and I.

The picture was from Super Show 2, which showed me acting jealous about Siwon and Hyukjae flirting.

I laughed and waved at the girls who held that banner before I pecked Siwon’s cheek, making the girls scream.

“Hyukjae won’t like that!” Siwon shouted in Chinese, making all the girls around giggle.

“Because someone else kissed you or because it was Donghae who kissed you?” Hangeng asked earning some more laughter.

“Because I kissed him!”

“Because I got kissed by someone else!”

Siwon and I were talking at the same time, making the fans trip over with laughter.

“Having fun here? We’ll have to make a move before it’s getting out of control!”

Lin appeared at our side, making us walk faster.

She seemed a little bit worried.

“Too many fans?” I asked.

“Way too many!” she replied.

We made our way through the big crowd slowly as fans would stop us to give us presents or take pictures or talk to us.

I was a bit surprised when I suddenly bumped into Lin.

“Yah, what…”

As abrupt as she had stopped walking, she suddenly dashed forwards.

I watched her walk away from us in surprise.

She made her way through the fans, who seemed to ignore her totally.

Even though I’m not the biggest, I was still taller than most of the fans so I could see Lin walking quickly to a quieter corner.

My eyes got huge when I saw her jumping into a guy’s arms.

Not just one guy, but four guys.

As soon as she had let go of the first guy, she hugged three other guys, too.

“Hyukjae definitely won’t like that one,” I heard Siwon mumble besides me.

I tore my eyes from Lin to look at Siwon.

“Do you think we should be worried?”

Siwon shrugged, looking over to where Lin was.

“Those guys are quite big and muscular. I bet you beneath their shades and their masks they are quite attractive, too!”

“Think so?” I asked a little irritated.

“Guys, aren’t those…,” Hankyung started, but stopped immediately.

“Aren’t those…what hyung?” I asked.

Hankyung smiled at some fans.

“Not here!” he mumbled.

I became more and more irritated.

I took another look at Lin, who was falling more and more behind as we almost made it to the doors.

I felt myself getting annoyed by those guys hugging Lin.

It wasn’t just the fact that Lin was one of my best friends now and those guys seem to catch all her attention, but I felt the need to make sure that Lin was attached to my best friend.

One of the guys took off his shades and then looked over to us and I was giving him an annoyed stare.

My eyes widened in surprise, when the guy smiled back at me.

I definitely knew those guys.

“Hyung, aren’t those the guys we did that tourism thing together with last year?” I asked shocked.

“Think so,” Hankyung murmured.

“What is she doing with them?” Siwon asked.

***Lin’s POV***

“What are you crazy guys doing here?” I shouted happily as I jumped into Calvin’s arms.

“Picking up and greeting our Mei, of course!” Calvin answered with a big adorable smile.

He hugged me closer to his body, before letting me go.

“Of course! You are crazy!” I said before walking over to Chun, hugging him, too.

“Wow, it’s really interesting to see something like that from the other side for once,” Yalun said, pointing at the crowed amazed.

I laughed.

“Dui, crazy, huh?” I said before hugging the youngest.

“I missed you a lot,” he whispered into my ear, hugging me tightly.

“Aw, missed you, too, Lun!”

“Wei, let go of her so I finally can hug her, too!” DaDong said, faking annoyance.

Yalun and I let go of each other, laughing, before I was pulled into Jiro’s arms.

“Everything okay? Did the Korean guys treat you well?”

Jiro pushed me away to take a closer look at me.

“Aiyo, of course. I’m good!”

“Good, otherwise we’ll have to make them suffer!” Chun said, putting down his shades searching his targets with his eyes.

I laughed when Chun looked at me amused.

“I think the small guy recognized me! Donghai, right?”

“Dui, you worked with him for your tourism endorsement last year, right?”

“Yes, they were nice guys, maybe a little young!” Calvin said.

I poked him into his chest.

“Wei, they are not that much younger than you are, old man!”

“Yes, they are!” Chun said convinced.

I laughed.

“In fact some of them are even older than Lun,” I explained.

“Really?” Calvin asked.

I nodded.

“They seemed to play around like kids while filming our endorsements!”

“Aiyo, just because not everyone acts like an old man doesn’t mean they are childish!”

Jiro laughed.

“Listen how protective over these guys she is being, like a mother!”

I blushed.

“Aw, Lin Mei, are you blushing?” Calvin asked, poking my cheek.

“I’m not!”

“Yes, you are!” Chun said amused.

“Lun, help, please!” I said, hiding behind Yalun’s back.

Yalun just laughed.

“No chance, for once I’m not the one they are teasing!”

I punched his shoulder.

“What kind of a friend are you?”

“The best!”

I stuck out my tongue at him, when my mobile started to ring.

“Attention, very important woman with us!” Calvin joked.

I rolled my eyes and checked my mobile.

One message.

“Lin, where are you, we are already in the car! Hurry up, cheater! Hae”

I looked up to see that the crowd actually was dissolving and more and more girls were leaving the airport.

“One of your kids?” Jiro asked.

I sighed.

“They are not kids anymore and yes, it was Donghai. He let me know they are waiting for me in the car!”

“Aiyo, can’t you just come with us and hang out for a while?” Calvin begged.

I chuckled, before suddenly a thought crossed my mind.

“What are you doing here anyway? What if anyone would have recognized you? A lot of reporters are here. Anyone could have taken a picture of the five of us!”

Chun shrugged his shoulders.

“I think no one recognized us and even if someone recognized us, what’s wrong with picking up a friend at the airport?”

“A friend who happens to be a female friend?” I asked dubious.

“What is wrong with that? The worst that could happen are some rumours about you being the girlfriend of one of us,” Yalun said.

I paled at the thought.

“That would be horrible!” I said in horror.

Cal laughed and slung his arm around my shoulder.

“Aiyo, how can it be horrible to be my girlfriend? Girls would kill to be you!”

I pushed away his arm.

I wasn’t afraid of the girls as I already prepared to live with something like that.

I wasn’t afraid of the reporters to find out about something like that, if it was true.

But I was afraid of a certain someone finding out.

My certain someone.

I laughed nervously.

“Then go find one of those girls!”

“LinNa, did you lose your sense of humour in Korea?”

“Meiyo, but it would cause some trouble if the press would write something like that!” I explained.

“What kind of trouble?” Yalun asked me, being all serious now.

I sighed.

“I don’t want someone to hear about something like that!”

“Someone?” Yalun asked.

“Aw, is our Mei in love with someone?” Calvin asked.

I blushed.

“One of the Korean guys?” Chun asked, looking dangerously in the direction Siwon, Donghae and Hankyung disappeared from earlier.

“We’ll have to check out those guys!” Jiro said making a movement to the exit of the airport.

I held him back.

“Aiyo, it’s none of those three!”

“Really? Because I could have sworn that Donghai was giving me an evil stare!” Chun said amused.

Right on time my mobile beeped again.

“Hurry up, cheater, or we’ll be setting off without you!”

“Aish, that Donghae!” I mumbled.

“Is your boyfriend jealous?” Jiro asked teasingly.

“Wei, Donghai isn’t my boyfriend!” I said.

“Come on, guys, leave her alone, this doesn’t concern us,” Yalun said, which made me smile gratefully at him.

He returned my smile with a small one of his own.

“Now, it was so sweet of all of you to come to welcome me, but I really have to go now. How about we meet up for a dinner tonight? Lun’s and mine favourite restaurant?” I asked.

“Sure, make sure to bring those guys. We have to get to know the guys who stole you from us,” Calvin said.

“We’ll see about that, Sunshine!”

I hugged each of them and then made my way to the exit.

“We’ll have to find out about your boyfriend, so you better bring those guys!” Chun shouted, making sure I would hear him.

I stuck out my tongue at them, before leaving the airport.

Outside the building a lot of girls were gathered around a car, screaming like crazy.

One of the securities saw me and helped me to walk through the fans.

He opened the door for me and I hurried up to enter, pulling the door close behind me.

“Yah, cheater, what took you so long?” Donghae asked a bit annoyed.

I rolled my eyes.

“I’m no cheater!”

“You promised to be with me the whole time!”

“I was!”

“No, you weren’t!”

“Aish, Donghae, don’t behave like a kid!”

“Don’t cheat on us with other guys, even if they are celebrities!”

“Hae-ya, that’s enough!” Hankyung said.

I laughed.

“I didn’t cheat on you. Those were friends who came to welcome me. I’m allowed to have friends, am I not?”

Donghae snorted.

“But those guys hugged you!”

I laughed.

“You guys hug me all the time, too!”

“Neh, but Hyukie won’t be worried that we will steal you from him!” Donghae shot back.

I sighed.

“Donghae-ya, it’s cute of you to look out for Hyukjae, but this is ridiculous. No one will steal me from Hyukie as I won’t let anyone steal me, arasseo?”

“Neh, Donghae-hyung, don’t be like that!” Siwon said, trying to calm down the older one.

I sighed.

“I promise you, there isn’t anything between one of those four guys and me. They even invited us all for dinner tonight. They are just friends!”

Donghae stared at me and then his eyes softened.

“Arasseo, mianhae, Lin-ah! I think, the stress and the emotions got the better of me!”

I pecked Donghae on the cheek.

“It’s okay, we all are a bit stressed. Just let us have some fun, okay?”

Donghae nodded.

“Great!” I said.

Donghae grinned.

“But just if you call Hyukie right now and tell him how much you already miss him!”

I rolled my eyes.

“You are really looking out for Hyukjae!”

“Of course, he told me to have an eye on you!”

“Funny, he told me to do the same thing with you!”

“You two, bickering like best of friends!” Hankyung said amused.

“We are!” Donghae and I said in unison.

“Come on, give him a call!” Donghae then demanded.

I chuckled and pulled out my phone to dial a familiar number.

“Yoboseo, Angel, are you already in Taiwan?” Hyukjae answered his phone after just one ring.

I had to laugh.

“Neh, we are already in the car driving to our apartment!”

“Wah, Kyu-ya, get off of me!” I could hear Hyukjae shout.

I had to giggle and put him on speaker for the other guys to hear.

“Hyung, I want to talk to Noona, too!” Kyuhyun complained.

“I’m talking to her now, Kyu-ya. Wait for her to call you!” Hyukjae said annoyed.

“Is that Lin-ah? Let us talk to her, too!”

“Neh, hyung!”

We all had to laugh as Hyukjae obeyed Leeteuk immediately.

“Is everything okay over there, Lin-ah?” Leeteuk asked.

“Neh, Oppa, everything is good!”

“Hyung, would you give the phone to Hyukjae already? We just called to tell him something!” Donghae said amused.

“Yah, dongsaeng, more respect for your hyung, okay? I just wanted to hear if you are all alright! Aish, those guys never appreciate my care!” Leeteuk complained.

His voice got weaker as he seemed to have handed the phone back.

“Hae?” Hyukjae asked, back on the phone.

“Neh, Hyukie?”

“You liked the shades?”

“Of course, Hyukie!”

“HYUNG!” Kyuhyun whined, making Hyukjae groan.

“Aish, fine, just for a second!”

We all giggled.

“Lin-ah?”

“Neh, Sweetheart?”

“I miss you!”

“Aw, Kyu-ya, miss you, too!”

“Yah, aren’t you missing us, too?” Hankyung asked amused.

“Neh, Hankyung-hyung, Siwonnie, Donghae-hyung saranaghaeyo!“

“I’ll call you later Kyu! Now let me talk to Hyuk, neh?”

“Neh!”

Kyuhyun was gone and Hyukjae sighed into the phone.

“Aish, that kid complained ever since you left!”

“Neh, he is being cute!”

“Cute my !”

“Hyukjae!” Hankyung shouted shocked.

“Mianhaeyo, hyung!”

“Now, would everyone be quiet so Lin can finally say, what she wanted to say from the beginning?” Donghae said, making everyone shut up.

“What is it, Lin-ah?” Hyukjae asked.

I sighed.

“Uhm, just wanted to call to tell you that I miss you already. A lot!”

Silence.

“Hyukie?” Donghae asked.

“Uhm, am I still on speaker?” Hyukjae asked.

“Neh!” Siwon said.

“Would you mind switching off the speaker?”

“NEH!” Hankyung, Siwon and Donghae shouted.

I rolled my eyes and switched off the speaker modus.

“Neh, Hyuk, you aren’t on speaker anymore,” I said.

“Good, because I wanted to tell you how much I miss you, too!”

“Aw, you are too cute!”

“Neh, uhm, Lin-ah, Leeteuk-hyung just called me. We have to head out for a photoshoot!”

“Oh, okay, talk to you later, bye!”

“Bye!”

“Aw, that has been cute!” Donghae said.

“Shut up!” I said trying to hide my smile.

I will update for a while now...but afterwards it will take longer...haha ^^

Sorry!

BTW...I think "crying" and "sensitive" Kyu was mostly inspired by Kangin's surprising appearance at the fan event thingy...making everyone cry...Kyu looked so cute there...so that's why I prob wrote him being like that at that time ^^
