"ANNYEONG HASEYO D-" a voice yelled out and stopped short.
DongHae jumped backwards from me whirled around to face the door. He put his arms behind him, as if he were protecting me from the other 12 Super Junior members. I peeked out from behind his shoulder and saw SungMin standing in the open doorway, an astonished expression on his face. Behind him, the others were peering in, trying to catch a glimpse of what was going on. I could see their heads sticking out from every space that wasn't occupied by SungMin's body, and it would have been funny if I wasn't so terrified.
God knows why I was terrified though, it was Super Junior, after all. But I still felt kind of freaked out.
As I watched, Siwon pushed himself past SungMin and said "Nice to know that all you're doing is playing games, DongHae. I hope he wasn't showing off to you, was he JaeHwa sshi?" I shook my head. Behind him, everyone instantly relaxed. At least I wasn't some girl that DongHae picked off the street, since Siwon knew who I was. I spied EunHyuk in the crowd. He was soaked, so I guessed that it was raining.
The others shook off their shock and started entering the flat. DongHae was still sitting on the couch, apparently frozen. I quietly stood up from the couch and smiled at the others. He turned to look at me and visibly relaxed. He stood up beside me. "Sorry everyone, I guess I got caught off guard. This is JaeHwa sshi, I accidently tripped her up and she got a concussion so I'm letting her stay overnight since her parents are away." I bowed slightly and said "Annyeong haseyo, I'm Jaehwa."
"Annyeong haseyo JaeHwa sshi, I'm SungMin," said SungMin, smiling cheekily at me. He seemed to have recovered. He was even more adorable in real life. The others echoed him, even though I already knew their names. I even knew their birthdates and their favourite colours, but of course I wasn't going to let them know that. "Will you be staying the night??" SungMin asked. I nodded slightly. "That's awesome!!! This is going to be so much fun!" he burst out. I smiled, and the others laughed.
"Yes SungMin, we all know how much you love people staying over," remarked LeeTeuk. He ruffled SungMin's hair and smiled at me. "Sorry if he seems to be a bit high now JaeHwa sshi, but he had some Soju just now, as a dare. KiBum's very smart idea," he added, raising an eyebrow at KiBum. "Oh, KangIn and HeeChul are a bit gone too, but I think that SungMin's the worse."
I laughed. I couldn't imagine the clean-cut-Super Junior being wasted. Maybe they weren't wasted now, but they were a bit high, especially SungMin, who had gone to his bedroom and closed the door. I could still hear him giggling to himself though.
"I guess I should start with dinner now, huh?" said HanKyung. As he turned to enter the kitchen, KangIn stepped in front of him.
"No, I think that JaeHwa sshi should cook, hyung," he said. I turned to him, and saw that he did look a bit wasted. "Seeing as she's a girl, so you should take a break."
"KangIn, shut up, go to your room and close your eyes," snapped DongHae suddenly. I turned to him. He actually looked angry. The others fell silent. LeeTeuk pulled KangIn away to their room.
"DongHae sshi, what's wrong?" I asked quietly as the others resumed their activities and dispersed to their rooms, while EunHyuk followed HanKyung into the kitchen.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong at all," said DongHae, giving me a small smile. "Could you excuse me? I, uhh, need to talk to KangIn hyung about something." As he entered KangIn and LeeTeuk's room, I followed and pressed my ear to the door. It seemed that HeeChul and YeSung were in there as well.
"What are you doing, DongHae?" I heard LeeTeuk say softly.
"Yeah, we come in and you're sitting with a girl on the couch!" That was HeeChul.
"You even looked like you were going to kiss her," said YeSung, softly, but I still caught it. I felt a bit sick.
"Look, it's nothing okay? She doesn't even know that we're Super Junior, and I owe her one... I gave her a concussion!" replied DongHae. "Look, I just want to say that I don't want any of you taking advantage of her, okay? No sexist jokes at all, hyung."
"It IS something, DongHae!" said LeeTeuk. "I can tell by looking at you. You know that we're not allowed to be with anyone while we're still under SM!"
That was when I remembered. I'd completely forgotten about it. So why was I constantly having this little fantasy that DongHae liked me? He could be kicked out. He could lose his reputation. And it would be all because of me. I pressed my ear harder to the door, straining to hear his reply.
"I know," was all he said. I got up, ran to the living room, and grabbed my bag from the couch, pulling off my bandage as I left. The kitchen door was closed, and there was no one in sight. I opened the door and slammed it as I ran into the elevator. I was NOT going to ruin DongHae's reputation. And I certainly didn't want to make him lose his job. I was going to remove myself from his life. A dry sob forced it's way out of my mouth and I realised that I was tearing up.
Why though?
We didn't have anything together. I'd just met him today. But in that day, he'd showed me a side that I'd never seen in cameras. No matter how famous he was, he was still human.
I ran out of the flat and was immediatly drenched in the heavy rain. It didn't matter anyway. I looked around for a bus stop and immediatly spotted one to the left of the building. No shade there though, but I was past caring. I just wanted to get away.
"JAEHWA!" I heard someone yell. I whirled around, and sure enough, there was DongHae. He stopped some distance away from me. "What are you doing?! You're drenched!" I didn't want to hear the concern in his voice.
"I'm not going to make you lose your job because of me!" I yelled back. "You never told me you weren't allowed to be with anyone! You never told me you were Super Junior!"
He looked taken aback. "I... you... you were listening?" he said. I nodded. "Shit... look JaeHwa, just come back, I swear I'll tell you whatever you want to know." He moved closer, but I didn't move.
"Why do you want to tell me everything? You can have any girl you want, why me? And you'd lose your reputation, you know that. Just forget you ever met me!"
"I... can't. Please JaeHwa, don't go," he pleaded. I was silent. After a few minutes passed, he laughed and said "Hey, it's raining and the sun's going down, it's like something out of a drama huh?"
I smiled despite myself. "Yea, but in this drama I'm not going to do what you want."
"Come on JaeHwa, it's raining and you're soaked. You can't like that."
"Actually I do. It hides my tears." I turned away but at once I felt him grab my shoulder and turn me around to face him.
"Are you crying?" he said. He peered into my face. "Hey, you're right, I can't see any tears at all. The rain really works huh?" He pulled me into a nearby phone booth. "There, now I can see them. Look, I'm sorry that I never told you, it's just that... I'd always wanted to meet a girl who didn't know who I was so that I could show her what I was really like."
I kept my head down, because I didn't want to show him my confusion. Was he actually saying that he liked me? I couldn't tell. My heart was beating so hard it felt like it was going to burst. DongHae lifted up my head.
"Please come back. Now you're all wet because of me and I can't stand that I've hurt you twice in one day."
In reply, I sneezed. Great. What a wonderful moment. How stupid could my brain be sometimes?
"And now I've made you sick! Aargh, I hate myself now," said DongHae. He brushed aside a tear that was rolling down my cheek with his finger. He looked around, and then took of his jacket and put it around me, rubbing my arms to make me feel warmer. I looked up at him, totally bewildered now. What the heck was going on?! Was I dreaming?
"W-what...?" was all I could manage. He smiled at me and stepped back out into the rain. "Eh...! DongHae sshi! Don't! You'll catch a cold!" I said, now truly startled. I pulled him back into the phone booth.
"Thank you, JaeHwa," he said.
And then he pulled me into a hug.

It's You Chapter 4
"I... I'm staying overnight...?" I stammered. This was NOT happening.
"Of course! You don't think we were going to leave you at home alone when you'd just had a concussion, did you? You'll be safe with us, don't look so worried," replied DongHae, putting on a cute face. I nearly melted. My heart was hammering in my chest. Spend the night with Super Junior. My concussion had turned into a god send.
DongHae opened the door and led me inside. The living room itself was huge but I guess it had to be to be able to accommodate 13 grown boys. Now though, the house quiet. DongHae made me sit on the couch while he went to get a drink for me.
I felt really pampered, but since I was actually being taken care of by Lee DongHae, I didn't really mind. My heart was still beating, but it was slowing down now that I had gotten over the shock.
"Hey DongHae, I'm going to go out for a while," announced Siwon unexpectedly. "Going to find the hyungs and get some stuff. Do you mind?"
DongHae came out of the kitchen, carrying a glass of water. "Sure Siwon, I don't mind. I mean, I've got company now so that's fine." He grinned at me, and my heart immediatly went back to maximum beating.
"Okay. Have fun you guys," said Siwon with a laugh. "Take care of her DongHae." He picked up the keys and left, closing the door behind him.
I was alone with DongHae.
In all my wildest dreams, I never imagined that this one would come true.
But there he was, standing in front of me. A silence had settled over us, but it wasn't an awkward silence. A small smile crossed his lips. "Do you want to call your parents?" he suddenly asked. I said it was fine, they were only expecting me to call at night, just before I went to sleep. "How about using the computer then? You can put my email address into your contact list."
"Umm, ok," I replied. I was feeling a bit nervous, but his face put me at ease. He obviously didn't feel awkward with me around, and I told myself to relax.
When he returned, he had a laptop in his hand. "We have a computer but it's shared between all of us, so I think it's safer to use mine," he explained, handing it to me and walking back to his bedroom.
Was it just some coincedence that he had the exact same laptop as me?
I traced my fingers over the familiar keys, smiling inwardly at the fact that he had touched these keys as well. As the laptop loaded, I saw that his desktop background was one of Super Junior. I smiled as I spotted his smiling face among the others.
I heard a door close, and turned around. DongHae walked up to me and glanced at the laptop. "I guess you figured out how to turn it on, huh? The guys find it hard to, don't know why. I mean, yea, it's not a very common laptop, but still."
"Oh, it's exactly the same as my laptop, so of course I know how to turn it on," I said before I could stop myself.
"Wow, hey, what a coincedence, huh?" he said, but I could see that he seemed a bit pleased. He hopped on to the couch and sat next to me. "It's a pretty cool computer, isn't it?" he asked, leaning against me to look at it. "I managed to get it pretty cheap."
His arm was pressing against mine and his hair was tickling my cheek from his leaning position, and my heart started hammering away again. He turned to me. "Does your heart usually beat this hard this much?" he asked.
Once again, I blushed.
He opened the internet browser for me, and I logged into my email account. "Nice email address," he said, grinning.
"It's kind of immature, I made it when I was about 12," I explained. By then I was feeling a bit giddy from our physical closeness.
"No, it's ok, I kinda like it," he remarked. "Kind of cute, in fact."
I made a silent promise to myself to never change my email address.
"Personally I don't like going on to the internet, but you can teach me some stuff, won't you?" confided DongHae. I turned to him. He looked into my eyes, and I found it hard to look away.
"Who are they?" I asked, turning back to the screen and pointing at his background.
"They're Super Junior, of course! That's the guys!" he replied happily. Was he happy that I had no idea of who he was? "Look, there I am, and there's Siwon and Eunhyuk, and these are RyeoWook, KiBum, LeeTeuk, SungMin, ShinDong, KangIn, HeeChul, HanKyung, YeSung and KyuHyun. You'll meet them all later, we're a bunch of fun."
"I'll try to remember them all," I said. "I think I'm alright with names, but I hope they won't beat me up or anything for forgetting."
That made him laugh. "If they even try, I'll protect you. Hey, want to see a game that I always play? SungMinnie introduced it to me, and now I can't get enough."
We placed the laptop on my left leg and his right leg, so we were both sharing it. I didn't mind being squashed up between him and the sofa. It was pretty comfortable.
The game he showed me as so adorable! It was like a children's game! I won't say what it was exactly (because I didn't really know the name as well) but I'll just say that it had rabbits, turtles and trampolines.
The game was cute, but DongHae was even cuter playing it. I watched him play it, but I was also watching his facial expressions. He made a lot of cute faces, and when he lost, he hit the keyboard. I found it extremely cute. When he let me play it, he cheered when I won and pouted when I lost. I pouted too, and we both started laughing.
All of a sudden, he glanced at my face and turned a bit red. I stopped laughing too. Did I just make Lee DongHae blush? We stared at each other, not moving, very still. The game music was still on, and that was the only sound in the flat.
DongHae didn't say a word. He just kept staring. I swear I saw him move his head closer, just a little.
We were so intense that we didn't even hear the key turn in the lock.
The door burst open.
"Of course! You don't think we were going to leave you at home alone when you'd just had a concussion, did you? You'll be safe with us, don't look so worried," replied DongHae, putting on a cute face. I nearly melted. My heart was hammering in my chest. Spend the night with Super Junior.

The door burst open.
It's You Chapter 3
"EunHyukkie, could you please get the doctor here to make sure that JaeHwa sshi is alright to leave?' DongHae turned to his best friend. Though I couldn't see his face, I could sort-of tell that he was smiling. EunHyuk raised an eyebrow and said "No, you can come with me. You're the one who brought her here." He pulled Donghae up by the arm and winked at me. "We'll be right back."
HyunJae and I were left alone with Siwon, and I could feel her face burning. I looked at Siwon, and found that he was smiling at us. "I guess you two don't really know who we are, do you?"
I shook my head slightly but HyunJae nudged me.
"We do know you!" She burst out. "In fact, we love you...." She trailed off as she realised what she had just said, and blushed crimson red. Siwon, however, found it amusing. He smiled at her and she blushed even more.
"Well, you sure aren't like the typical fangirls huh? Usually they'd be screaming their heads off or asking for my autograph by now." He chuckled. It was a funny sound, and it started me off giggling.
"I'm sorry, but I still don't know who you are," I said, glaring at HyunJae, who seemed to understand what I was doing, because she patted my hand.
"Poor girl," she said, shaking her head. "I guess that concussion gave you a bit more than a bump, eh? Nevermind, I'll help you remember." She grinned at me, then back at Siwon. "Meanwhile, Siwon sshi, you can introduce yourself. This is JaeHwa."
"Hello JaeHwa, I'm Siwon," said Siwon, shaking my hand.
It was so formal, I burst out laughing. Siwon joined in, and his laugh made us laugh even more. We were still in stitches when Donghae and EunHyuk came back.
"Hey hey, what's so funny?"demanded Donghae. "It can't be funny when I'm not there!" Eunhyuk shook his head, grinning. I smiled too, remembering the episodes from Super Junior Full House, were they the other memebers still had fun without Donghae around.
"Come on JaeHwa sshi, let's get out of here," he said now. I pulled back the covers and swung my legs on to the floor.
Apparently I was still a bit concussed, because the world spun again and I had to grab HyunJae for support. In a flash, EunHyuk and DongHae were by my side, propping me up. "Are you sure the doctor said I was okay?" I joked, but DongHae looked worried. "Hey, don't worry, I'm alright, just a bit dizzy. I'll be fine." I bent over and retrieved my sneakers from under the bed.
"Alright then, let's go JaeHwa sshi," said DongHae. He squatted in front of me and put his hands at his sides. "Get on."
"What?!" I said, dumbfounded. Ride on Lee DongHae's back?! No way! What if I was too heavy? Or what if he couldn't carry me? It would be so embarassing!
"Come on JaeHwa, you know you can't walk yet," said HyunJae. I glared at her. What was she trying to do?! I stood up. Once again, the world swam before me. DongHae sighed, then swept me up in his arms.
"Heeyyy!!!" I yelled out in surprise. "Put me down!! What're you doing, DongHae sshi?!"
He shrugged. "If you don't get on my back, I'll carry you out like this."
When he said that, I knew that I didn't really have a choice anymore. I looked around. While I was struggling with DongHae, Siwon and EunHyuk had left with HyunJae. Well, at least I wouldn't have to climb on him in fron of everyone.
I sat back on the bed, and he squatted down in front of me. I quickly climbed on to him, linking my arms around his neck, my head on his shoulders. "If you can't stand up, I'm walking," I said. I felt him smile. Suddenly, he was standing up.
I nearly died.
I was being carried by Lee DongHae.
He walked out of the cubicle to where the others were waiting. HyunJae's grin was so big I swear it was bigger than her face. "I hope I'm not heavy," I said in DongHae's ear.
"You're not heavy, JaeHwa, you're very heavy," he replied, and I hit him lightly on the shoulder. He laughed, and tightened his grip on me. "Relax," he said, laughing. "I'm not going to do anything to you!"
I relaxed, and realised how tight I had been holding myself. "Wow, hey, I think you just got heavier," teased DongHae. I hid my face in his shoulder. "I... can feel your heart beating," he suddenly whispered.
I nearly died again.
I blushed hard, and said nothing. "And now I can feel the heat coming from your face," he continued. I could feel him smile.
"What're you guys whispering about back there?" said EunHyuk, turning around. His grin was matching HyunJae's. Those two would go so well together.
"Nothing," said Donghae and I in unison, and I felt him smile again.
We left the hospital, and it felt weird to be in the company of 3 guys wearing sunglasses. I found it funny though, and so did HyunJae. She burst out laughing as we stepped outside and only stopped when I kicked her. Siwon hailed a taxi and glanced at her as we got in.
"You coming?" he asked.
"Oh, no, I live in the other direction," she said. "I'll just take a bus."
"Are you sure?" chipped in EunHyuk. "We don't like girls going out alone... you never know."
"Really! Don't worry, I'll be fine," said HyunJae. "There's no space in the taxi anyway -" She was cut short by EunHyuk climbing out of the taxi. I glanced at her. She looked perplexed.
"No, I'll come with you. I don't mind, I don't feel like going back to the house yet," he said to her. "You guys won't get lost without me, will you?"
"Haha, not funny," said Siwon, though he was smiling. I couldn't see his eyes, so I didn't know whether it was a joke between them or whether he was smiling at EunHyuk escorting HyunJae home. "See you back home, and you better take care of HyunJae." He closed the door. I caught a glimpse of HyunJae smiling as EunHyuk looked for the closest bus stop.
The taxi driver kept stealing glances at use, especially me. Well, I did have a bandage around my head and I was flanked by two guys in sunglasses, so I guess we really did look kind of weird to him. Hopefully he didn't call the cops on us.
The taxi stopped outside a stylish looking flat and DongHae clambered out. He gently pulled me out of the taxi and supported me towards the building as Siwon paid the driver. "Don't worry about meeting the others, they're all out. It's kinda early for use to be back now," said DongHae.
"How many of you stay here?" I asked. I was stll playing dumb, and it seemed to be working, because his expression was of a happy child.
"There're 13 of us," he declared, and I made myself gasp in surprise, although I already knew that a long time ago, of course.
Siwon joined us and we all went up in the elevator. The whole time DongHae kept his arm around me. It seemed like he had no intention of letting go. My heart was beating, but I felt strangely at ease in his arms. I'd never had a boyfriend before, so this was a new experience for me. It felt good, to be honest.
As we stepped out of the lift and DongHae pulled out keys, he suddenly paused.
"Hey JaeHwa... did I mention that you're going to stay overnight?"
HyunJae and I were left alone with Siwon, and I could feel her face burning. I looked at Siwon, and found that he was smiling at us. "I guess you two don't really know who we are, do you?"
I shook my head slightly but HyunJae nudged me.
"We do know you!" She burst out. "In fact, we love you...." She trailed off as she realised what she had just said, and blushed crimson red. Siwon, however, found it amusing. He smiled at her and she blushed even more.
"Well, you sure aren't like the typical fangirls huh? Usually they'd be screaming their heads off or asking for my autograph by now." He chuckled. It was a funny sound, and it started me off giggling.
"I'm sorry, but I still don't know who you are," I said, glaring at HyunJae, who seemed to understand what I was doing, because she patted my hand.
"Poor girl," she said, shaking her head. "I guess that concussion gave you a bit more than a bump, eh? Nevermind, I'll help you remember." She grinned at me, then back at Siwon. "Meanwhile, Siwon sshi, you can introduce yourself. This is JaeHwa."
"Hello JaeHwa, I'm Siwon," said Siwon, shaking my hand.
It was so formal, I burst out laughing. Siwon joined in, and his laugh made us laugh even more. We were still in stitches when Donghae and EunHyuk came back.
"Hey hey, what's so funny?"demanded Donghae. "It can't be funny when I'm not there!" Eunhyuk shook his head, grinning. I smiled too, remembering the episodes from Super Junior Full House, were they the other memebers still had fun without Donghae around.
"Come on JaeHwa sshi, let's get out of here," he said now. I pulled back the covers and swung my legs on to the floor.

"Heeyyy!!!" I yelled out in surprise. "Put me down!! What're you doing, DongHae sshi?!"
He shrugged. "If you don't get on my back, I'll carry you out like this."
When he said that, I knew that I didn't really have a choice anymore. I looked around. While I was struggling with DongHae, Siwon and EunHyuk had left with HyunJae. Well, at least I wouldn't have to climb on him in fron of everyone.
I sat back on the bed, and he squatted down in front of me. I quickly climbed on to him, linking my arms around his neck, my head on his shoulders. "If you can't stand up, I'm walking," I said. I felt him smile. Suddenly, he was standing up.
I nearly died.
I was being carried by Lee DongHae.
He walked out of the cubicle to where the others were waiting. HyunJae's grin was so big I swear it was bigger than her face. "I hope I'm not heavy," I said in DongHae's ear.
"You're not heavy, JaeHwa, you're very heavy," he replied, and I hit him lightly on the shoulder. He laughed, and tightened his grip on me. "Relax," he said, laughing. "I'm not going to do anything to you!"
I relaxed, and realised how tight I had been holding myself. "Wow, hey, I think you just got heavier," teased DongHae. I hid my face in his shoulder. "I... can feel your heart beating," he suddenly whispered.
I nearly died again.
I blushed hard, and said nothing. "And now I can feel the heat coming from your face," he continued. I could feel him smile.
"What're you guys whispering about back there?" said EunHyuk, turning around. His grin was matching HyunJae's. Those two would go so well together.
"Nothing," said Donghae and I in unison, and I felt him smile again.
We left the hospital, and it felt weird to be in the company of 3 guys wearing sunglasses. I found it funny though, and so did HyunJae. She burst out laughing as we stepped outside and only stopped when I kicked her. Siwon hailed a taxi and glanced at her as we got in.
"You coming?" he asked.
"Oh, no, I live in the other direction," she said. "I'll just take a bus."
"Are you sure?" chipped in EunHyuk. "We don't like girls going out alone... you never know."
"Really! Don't worry, I'll be fine," said HyunJae. "There's no space in the taxi anyway -" She was cut short by EunHyuk climbing out of the taxi. I glanced at her. She looked perplexed.
"No, I'll come with you. I don't mind, I don't feel like going back to the house yet," he said to her. "You guys won't get lost without me, will you?"
"Haha, not funny," said Siwon, though he was smiling. I couldn't see his eyes, so I didn't know whether it was a joke between them or whether he was smiling at EunHyuk escorting HyunJae home. "See you back home, and you better take care of HyunJae." He closed the door. I caught a glimpse of HyunJae smiling as EunHyuk looked for the closest bus stop.
The taxi driver kept stealing glances at use, especially me. Well, I did have a bandage around my head and I was flanked by two guys in sunglasses, so I guess we really did look kind of weird to him. Hopefully he didn't call the cops on us.
The taxi stopped outside a stylish looking flat and DongHae clambered out. He gently pulled me out of the taxi and supported me towards the building as Siwon paid the driver. "Don't worry about meeting the others, they're all out. It's kinda early for use to be back now," said DongHae.
"How many of you stay here?" I asked. I was stll playing dumb, and it seemed to be working, because his expression was of a happy child.
"There're 13 of us," he declared, and I made myself gasp in surprise, although I already knew that a long time ago, of course.
Siwon joined us and we all went up in the elevator. The whole time DongHae kept his arm around me. It seemed like he had no intention of letting go. My heart was beating, but I felt strangely at ease in his arms. I'd never had a boyfriend before, so this was a new experience for me. It felt good, to be honest.
As we stepped out of the lift and DongHae pulled out keys, he suddenly paused.
"Hey JaeHwa... did I mention that you're going to stay overnight?"
It's You Chapter 2
I came to a few minutes later. I felt like I was still flying. My head was ringing and the world was spinning around a bit. I tried opening up my eyes fully, but they didn't seem to want to obey my brain. Through my squinted vision, I managed to discern that I was being carried by someone. My head was leaning against his shoulder, and I caught a glimpse of his profile. It was DongHae.
The world clouded over again.
*
I opened my eyes suddenly and was hit by the bright white light from the ceiling. My body was cushioned and I felt extremely comfortable. I put my hand up to my head and felt bandages. A slight movement at the side of my bed made me sit up with a jolt.
A hand pushed me back down. I turned my head to my left. The love of my life smiled back at me.
Lee DongHae was sitting about a metre away from me.
With his hand on my arm.
And I was in the hospital.
With a bandaged head.
I couldn't feel more like screaming. This wasn't how I imagined it.
"H-h-hi," I stammered out.
He released his hold on me and let me sit up. He stood up and propped up pillows behind me. I looked around and saw a backdrop of blue curtains surrounding him and me. There was no-one else in sight.
That was odd. I expected HyunJae to be with me.
"If you're wondering where your friends are, they went to fetch your parents. They're on the way back. Don't worry," DongHae suddenly said.
I started. He was even cuter in real life. I nearly fainted again from the happiness and confusion. My head throbbed a bit.
"The doctor said that you had a slight concussion but otherwise you'd be fine," he continued. "And if you're wondering what the bandage is for, you got a pretty bad bump back there."
I gave him a shy smile. I was tongue-tied.
"Sorry about landing on you, by the way. I thought I could stop you from falling."
"T-that's okay. Thanks for trying anyway," I suddenly replied. My brain screamed at me to shut up but my mouth wasn't obeying. DongHae smiled. Why did he have to be so cute?! "I-I'm JaeHwa. What's your name?"
He looked taken aback a bit, maybe because I didn't know his name. I don't why I pretended that I didn't know him. I guess because I wanted to show him that I wasn't like every typical girl.
"I'm DongHae," he said smiling. "Never heard my name before?" He was smiling so wide I felt like trowing my arms around him.
"No...." I said, putting on a thinking face. "It sounds familiar though. Why?"
He bent over the small bedside table, scribbling on a small piece of paper. He didn't reply. When he turned back, he handed the paper to me. It had an email address and a number on it.
I was speechless. I looked back at him, and found he was smiling, his hand on my bed.
"Wow... thanks.." was all I could say. He might have guessed something because something in his eye glinted, but before he could say anything, HyunJae pulled back the curtain.
"JaeHwa, I...." she started, then stopped short when she caught sight of DongHae still sitting there. Luckily I had shoved the piece of paper into my pocket. The curtain was pulled back more, and 2 guys breezed in.
It was EunHyuk and SiWon.
I nearly died right there and then, but managed to keep a bewildered look on my face. HyunJae, however, sat on my other side and stared at them, breathing hard. She loved Super Junior, and now there were three of the members standing right opposite her.
"DongHae, maybe we should go now, before her parents come," said Siwon, his eyes flitting from Donghae to me. "I swear I saw some cameras flash when you carried her to the taxi. You should've worn your shades."
Donghae carried me to a taxi?! Now I really felt like dying.
"Uhh, you don't have to worry about her parents coming, Siwon sshi," said HyunJae in a small voice. Everyone turned to look at her. "They're gone."
That was when I remembered. My parents had gone on a week-long holiday to Japan, and had left me in Seoul, as it was the school holidays. Holidays had just started and they had just left, which was why we had been hanging around SM, which we wouldn't normally have done if my parents were still here.
"Oh yea... they're in Japan..." I said wonderingly. I smacked my forehead with the hand that wasn't stuck under the blanket and Donghae's hand. "Damn, how am I going to get home?"
Donghae looked up at the others. Eunhyuk smiled at me.
"Why don't you come to stay with us overnight?" he asked. Seeing as your parents aren't home, and you're, uhh, injured. I think Donghae owes you, since you tripped over his foot."
I looked at Donghae. He smiled at me, looking excited.
I looked at HyunJae. Her eyes were as big as plates. I nearly laughed out loud.
"Thanks, but I think I should stay with HyunJae -" I started, but HyunJae interrupted me.
"I don't think that's going to happen, my grandparents are here, remember? There's no space for you.." she stared at me meaningfully, as if saying You're turning down an invitation to stay with SUPER JUNIOR?!
I looked back at Donghae and grinned.
"Well, I guess that's a yes."
His smile was twice as big as mine.
I felt my heart skip a beat.
The world clouded over again.

It's You Chapter 1
I was just your ordinary teenage girl living in the twenty-first century, living an average (and sometimes boring) life. I got straight A's in school most of the time, listened to the latest music, admired trendy clothes in shop windows, and idolized pop groups. And, like almost every girl who listened to pop music, was obsessed with Super Junior. I was the almost typical fangirl, but I wasn't as crazy as some of the other girls who did stuff like write their idols names on every single piece of stationary that they had.
I didn't just idolize Super Junior, I listened to DongBangShinKi as well as Big Bang, and a little bit of SHINee. I wasn't very into the girl groups, maybe because they had the chance to hang out with my idols when I didn't.
But there was nobody I loved as much as Lee DongHae, from Super Junior. Most girls liked their idols on the sole basis that they were cute, but I liked DongHae because he was hilarious. He was also an incredible dancer, and it was another plus that he was adorable. He even called himself a cute name, Fish or Fishy, because the name DongHae meant East Sea.
Maybe that must have been the reason why my Super Junior-obsessed-friends and I wound up near SM Entertainment building. Maybe we were hoping to get a glimpse of them. Or maybe we were just bored and something drew us there. I can't remember anymore, but our desicion changed my life.
We got a bit bored, so we started chasing each other around, playing tag and taking pictures. we probably looked incredibly immature to the public, but we didn't really care. My best friend HyunJae was 'it' so in she ran after me. I was a pretty good runner, so my instinct was to take off on a full sprint.
What happened next could only have been called magic.
HyunJae slowed to a stop, and I turned my head to look at her. I was still running though, smiling that I'd managed to get away from her. She screamed at me to stop, but I took no notice (which showed how much I was taking the game seriously) and kept on running, though I started to slow down. As I turned my head back to face the front, I felt my foot collide with something on the ground.
My head snapped up. I caught sight of 3 guys to my right, but by then I was falling. I only managed to catch a glimpse of the guy at the front, whose foot I had tripped over. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed my arm, but he was a bit too late. I dragged him down with me.
As we fell (it seemed to take a long time to me, I felt like I was falling in slow motion), the guy jerked my arm so that I wasn't going to fall flat on my face, and I came face to face with him.
It was DongHae.
Lee DongHae.
The love of my life.
I nearly screamed out in joy and shock, but the next thing I knew, my head had hit the pavement. The last thing I felt was the weight of his body on top of mine for a few seconds before I blacked out.
