It's You Chapter 5

"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.
