CHAPTER 3: CHANCE
YOUR NO.1 FAN
He woke up at the sound of Leeteuk’s voice.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Eunhyuk’s face inches away from him. Surprised, he pushed his best friend, rolled out of bed and fell. “Hyukjae!! You scared me! Don’t do that!” Now, he is awake. Eunhyuk was smiling at him, sheepishly. “What?!”
“Who’s Karin?”
How did he know her name? I turned off the computer before I went to sleep. Besides, he was already snoring when I was watching her videos.
“I don’t know,” he lied, avoiding contact with Eunhyuk and trying hard not to blush.
“You were calling her name, ‘Karin...Karin...wait...' imitating Donghae’s sleep talking. “Who is Karin?” Eunhyuk interrogated him.
“Uh...well...see...there is this girl…” he was really nervous, but even before he could continue, Kyuhyun appeared in the room and said, “Hyung, you are not in love with the pianist, are you?” He said that in one breath, without batting an eye.
In love?! Why do you always have to say what’s on my mind?! You...little...aaahhh!
“Hae, who is this pianist? How come you never told me about her?” Eunhyuk won’t let it go this time.

Eunhyuk was silent the entire length of the video. Then finally, he said, “She is…wonderful.”
“I know...and nice too,” Donghae was blushing at smiling at the same time.

But he never asked for details, for fear that he might scare her. They would only talk about how their day went. He would be online at midnight, and still see Karin replying to the messages. He felt sorry for her, she must have been tired. Talking to her makes him feel better. Being a fan is not a bad thing after all, if you are a fan of someone as kind as Karin, he thought.
“Aha! Look at you! You’re obsessed with that girl!” Eunhyuk shouted.
“Staying up late at night, watching her videos over and over...leaving messages on the site...hyung, you are like one of our obsessed fans,” Kyuhyun said.
“More like a stalker…” Eunhyuk added.
He threw a pillow at the two, “yah! Stop it! I’m not obsessed and I’m not a stalker!” Donghae protested.
Eunhyuk and Kyuhyun just laughed, looking at him. “Hyung, your face is so red,” Kyuhyun won’t stop teasing.
“Ahh, Hyukkie-hyung... are you free tonight?” he asked, still grinning.
“I guess, why?”
“Oh, I just happen to have two entrance tickets for the university of Seoul’s
