"One day I'll find you again," Donghae said. He caressed the cheek of the girl in the photo. "One day..."
"Donghai! Lets go," Zhoumi called. Donghae didn't move an inch and just stared at the photo. "Donghai..." Zhoumi went over the him and patted Donghae's shoulder.
"Hyung I miss her so much." Donghae said. He sniffled and closed his eyes. Tears were threatening to fall but he wouldn't let them.
"I know Donghai. I know." Zhoumi stared at his dongsaeng and sighed.
"Hey guys what's taking you so-" Leeteuk barged in and saw Donghae holding the photo once again. He quickly shut his mouth and signaled for the other members to come in quietly. One by one they sat near Donghae staring at him.
"Heechul-Hyung..." Donghae called. Heechul went over to hug him.
"Yes Hae?" Heechul asked.
"We're gonna celebrate Heeshul's birthday right?" Donghae looked at Heechul, eyes full of sorrow. He sniffed once more, waiting for an answer.
"Yes we are Hae," Heechul answered. "All of us are." He gestured towards all the members, while they nodded.
"She's turning 12 today," Donghae smiled but it quickly faded away. "Its her year too."
"Which is why we are gonna find her." Leeteuk stated. He was just as determined to find Donghae's little sister.
He widened his eyes in disbelief. "Hyung are you serious?" Donghae asked.
"Yes we are Hae." Sungmin said.
"You hear that Heeshul?" Donghae asked the photo. "Oppa is gonna find you and when I do we can have strawberry cake with soymilk. Oppa can then introduce you to his hyungs and dongsaengs." He smiled sadly and set the photo into his phone case.
Its been 7 years without you Heeshul. I don't think I can handle it anymore. But today I will find you. Once and for all. Donghae thought.
