To The Salon
(1st Performance)
It was late at night, all the members were getting ready for bed and there stood Lee Donghae in front of a very familiar door not being able to enter.
‘Just go in, common you’re a man, go in and talk to him’
“Ya- Lee Donghae what are you doing?” said the figure walking toward him, “Didn’t I tell you to go to bed, we have to leave early tomorrow morning and go to the salon,” said Teukie. “You can talk to Hyukjae tomorrow, now go to bed, last thing we need is for you to have panda eyes for our album cover” said Teukie
“Ok Hyung” he said as he gave the door one last look.
Coming up to Hyukkie’s door had become a nightly ritual these days for Donghae. Always going but never entering. Ever since they came back from their first trip together he and Hyukkie had become distant. At first Donghae didn’t notice it because he was still upset at Hyukjae for ruining their last night together, and for ruining his plans of confessing to the other. But after a few days of giving Hyukkie the silent treatment he realized it was silly to be mad at the person he was going to confess to for ruining his confession. And it was when he decided he was being silly did he notice that the other was also avoiding him as well.
Donghae tried to go to Hyukkie and make up for lost time by being extra affectionate but every action was only met with a reaction he didn’t like.
Usually Donghae would “wake up” his Hyukkie, before Hyukkie showed no reaction, he would let Donghae cuddle up to him, and on rare occasions when Hyukkie had a good nights rest he would embrace Donghae back. But now when he tried cuddling to his Hyukkie, he could feel the dancer stiffen, wait a couple moments and then shoot off out of the bed like someone had turned up the heat and he needed to escape badly, leaving a disappointed fishy.
And that was only the beginning. Whenever Donghae tried to strike up a conversation with the boy he would suddenly remember something important he had to tell another member and run off. Though this wasn’t occurring as much since the arrival of their debut date neared and everyone was on overtime. Now there was less and less time for everything, sleeping, eating, and to Donghae’s distress less time to spend with a certain monkey.
But everything seemed to turn around as the following day they were all scheduled to go to the salon to get prettied up for their album jacket and promotional shots. And though this was his first time in a real salon with a stylist he knew from his mother that going to the salon was no short thing and since there were so many members he was sure that they would be stuck there a while before they were done.
‘Perfect time for me to get to the bottom of things, and for me to finally spend some time with my Hyukkie,’ thought Donghae as he did what Teukie told him and went to bed.
The next day all the members woke up with much difficulty, well all expect Donghae who was eager to get going to spend some time with his Hyukkie. After all the members were assembled in the living room Teukie cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention.
“Ok guys today’s a big day, I don’t want to hear any complaints ok. We’re a new group and I don’t want to give anyone a bad impression, you know how people can talk. So do as your told, no questions asked, remember you’re not only representing just yourself anymore but all 12 of us now. So I want no trouble, understand?” asked Teukie in his stern leader voice.
“One last thing, as you all know our title song is TWINS, so our concept is going to be tough guy image, so just let the stylist do their thing, their pros they know what their doing” said Teukie and paused looking for one member in particular, “Sungmin, don’t let me catch you trying to request pink hair” he said giving Sungmin a hard look to which Sungmin pouted. “Tough guy remember, practice your looks while your being worked on or waiting to be worked on, and no complaining” said Teukie.
Donghae pouted, it seemed as if today was going to be a long day, a long tough day. He didn’t like what his leader said about the tough guy image, he thought it was funny actually. They were the least masculine- tough guy group of guys he had ever met. Of course they weren’t girly, well maybe Sungmin, but they weren’t tough guys, it was more like they had tough guy instances. But Donghae just decided to go with it, they were the experts, though he thought the cute image would suit them better, especially his Hyukkie, who was naturally cute. He smiled lost in his thoughts and didn’t notice when their manager walked in.
“Everyone listen up!” said the manager, “ in order to move things along were splitting you guys up, were going to two different salons.”
Donghae didn’t like the sound of this, he wanted so bad to spend his time with Hyukkie and this splitting up the members didn’t sound like it was going to be in his favor. He held his breathe hoping to hear that he and Hyukkie were in the same group.
“Ok salon one, Kang-in, Yesung, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, and Kibum, get ready we’re leaving in ten minutes. Leeteuk, Heechul, Hankyung, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk, you guys have a little more work to be done, we’re still playing with some looks for your concepts, so we need to leave first, the sooner we get there the sooner the stylist can take a look at you guys and decide what the best look is for each of you. Were leaving for salon two in two minutes” finished their manager looking at his watch.
“Yay!” exclaimed Sungmin as he grabbed Hyukkie’s hand, “More work means their going to give us completely new looks, yay I’ve been wanting a new look and since their pros I know their make us look hot” said Sungmin as he bounced over to his other chosen salon two members.
Donghae stiffened as he heard that he and his Hyukkie were not going to be getting styled in the same salon and stiffened even more when he saw Sungmin touching his Hyukkie. Donghae won’t admit it but he is a very jealous person and he could be very possessive, especially when it came to his Hyukkie. That’s why he went into panic mode after he heard his Umma and Appa talking.
“Kang-in were not going to be together, “pouted Teukie to his boyfriend. “Don’t let them change you too much”
“ I won’t, why are you so worried, were paying them a lot of money to make us look good, won’t you be more upset if I went in there and they made me look terrible?” said Kang-in teasingly
“Yea, but it’s because there pros that I worry, what if they make you even more handsome, all the girls will be all over you when we debut”
“Pabo, like they can make me anymore handsome than I already am” he said with a cocky smile. “Besides I don’t care about fan girls, I only have eyes for you” he said while he grabbed a hold of the older mans chin to make him look at him.
Donghae, watched in disgust as the KangTeuk couple walked off, hand in hand, probably to say there good byes. But Teukie had a point, what if they made over his Hyukkie and everyone fell for him. His Hyukkie was already attractive, but surprisingly not that many people take notice, not like Donghae, he saw how beautiful the dancer was, but what if they made him over so that now everyone saw what he saw. He started to panic, soon they’d debut to the whole world, which means they’d be exposed to everyone and what if everyone wanted a piece of his Hyukkie. He thought about it and he remembered how awful it was when Hyukkie’s ex came back into his life and then when they went on their first trip, and how those three girls hung all over his Hyukkie, (view previous fics in the 1st series for references). He could barely contain himself then and that was when he was fighting off four girls, how was he suppose to fight off a whole nation of girls.
Donghae stood there deep in thought, stewing on the possibility of fighting off fan girls when he remembered when they went out with Junsu once. He remembered how all the girls there rushed them, how forceful and pushy they were, what if they did that to his Hyukkie. He shook his head, he couldn’t let that happen. He quickly tried to get the image of screaming fangirls groping his Hyukkie, tearing his clothes off, as he went to go find his manager.
Eunhyuk was finishing his carton of strawberry milk when he noticed a very upset Donghae jumping up and down in front of their manager across the room, Hyukkie first looked on amused, he thought that his fishy looked like a four year old throwing a tantrum. But as he looked more carefully he could tell that something was really bothering the other boy, Hyukkie instantly started to go see what was wrong, but he stopped himself. He wasn’t suppose to be talking to Donghae, he was suppose to be keeping his distance. He didn’t want to be to close to the boy, not until he sorted out his feelings for the other. He also didn’t want Donghae to get close to him because Hyukkie feared that he might remember that he had kissed him while he was drunk. He also worried that if his cute little fishy was near him he wouldn’t be able to control himself and he would end up kissing the boy or worst. Being around was a definite No, No, which was made more difficult lately by Donghae himself always trying to be around Hyukkie, but Hyukkie didn’t want to be around him, not until he had some time to think things over.
“Donghae didn’t you hear what I just said, behave yourself, you are going to salon one and I don’t want to hear another word about it” said the manager as he gave him a look that said he better do as he was told or else.
He pouted as the manager gathered the members who needed more work and was pushing them out the door. Donghae was about to protest again but got another glance from their manager before he left and decided to sit down on the couch.
“Why the long face?” asked Kibum
“Just wanted to be in group 2, is all” answered Donghae not bothering to even look at Kibum.
“Why, so you could be with Eunhyuk?” he asked and Donghae stared at him confused, it was only a couple of seconds later that he finally got it.
“Oh Hyukkie, I forget his name is Eunhyuk now” he said in a bitter tone. Truthfully he didn’t like his Hyukkie’s stage name, Eunhyuk, didn’t sound right to him, Eunhyuk, silver, Hyukkie’s anything but silver, he’s gold, first place to Donghae. But at least he Hyuk was still part of his name, so he could still call him Hyukkie.
“You look worried” said Kibum bringing Donghae back from his own thoughts.
“Why do you say that?” asked Donghae, was he really that easy to read.
“Oh by the way you begged the manager to let you be with group two, what’s up?”
“Oh nothing, I just wanted to go first, get it over with,” lied Donghae
“Oh really, I thought you were worried about how they were going to style Eunhyuk, he’s pretty silly and cute all the time but when he wants to be he can be really hot and sexy”.
Donghae glared at Kibum.
“What, like you haven’t noticed!” smirked Kibum, he knew all too well that Donghae had a crush on Eunhyuk, who didn’t really. And Kibum continued to smirk as he decided to mess with his hyung, just because he was bored and because he could. “ Personally I’m glad, I bet the stylist noonas are too, I bet they can’t wait to get their hands on him” he said with an evil grin.
“What!?” shouted Donghae when he heard that.
“Yea, I over heard them yesterday when I was waiting for the manager to take me home, he was having a quick last minute meeting with the stylist noona. They were basically going over what they were going to be doing to each of us, she seemed really eager to get to make over Hyukkie, something about his body being perfect for something special that only she could give him.”
Donghae listened, he felt as if his eyes were going to pop out of his head, he could feel his heartbeat so fast and loud he was surprised no one else could hear it. Soon he started getting of images of noona stylist trying to get her claws into his Hyukkie. He imagined she would ask him into a back room so that she could help Hyukkie with his outfit and then she would pounce on him, all the while poor innocent Hyukkie would stare wide-eyed not knowing what to do or say protesting against his will. There was no way he was gonna let some noona bitch molest his Hyukkie. Without saying another word to Kibum he started his way, “stealthily” to the door. He had a mission, rescue his Hyukkie.
‘Ninja Hae’ said Hae as he got on all fours and sung his own secret-ninja spy theme song in his head.
Kibum watched in amusement as he saw his hyung get on his hands and knees crawling to the door, no doubt to try and catch up with the group that already left. Kibum was so immersed in watching Donghae trying to be sneaky that he didn’t notice that someone had sat down next to him.
“You’re so mean Kibum-ah”
“What” responded the younger boy as he looked to see who was talking.
“Did you even overhear the manager and stylist talking, I know he took you home but what about the rest of it?” asked Sungmin suppressing a giggle as Donghae rolled on the floor to wear the shoes were left.
“Well…I did hear them talking about the plans for each member for tomorrow, and the stylist noona was really eager to work with Hyukjae hyung”. He said defensively “She kept babbling about how long and lean he was, that she had a friend who was up and coming and that she had the perfect outfit planned for him, something that no other stylist could get, that it was something special only she could get for him. So technically I didn’t lie, I just didn’t tell him everything” he finished with a smirk.
“You’re so bad Kibum” said Sungmin and both boys started laughing, but were interrupted by a loud yelp.
They both turned to see Donghae on his back on the floor, as if someone had knocked him down. They saw their manager standing over him with the door still open. It wasn’t hard to see that Donghae was trying to escape and came close but was thrown back as their manager came back to the dorm.
“Lee Donghae, what are you doing so close to the door, trying to injure yourself so close to your debut, do you not want to go on stage with your members?” he asked annoyed.
Kibum and Sungmin just looked at each other and started laughing harder. This was definitely going to he a long~ day, especially with a crazed ninja Donghae on the loose trying to save a not-even-in-danger- Hyukjae.
A/N: A little short right? Sorry for that I just needed to split it up or else it would be way too long. I’m trying to cut down on how much I write cuz I know I can drag things out sometimes, bare with me. By the way I also hope that you all forgive me for the statements over the whole tough guy concept look. I really didn’t like when the try to make the guys into tough guys, I mean it totally worked for Don’t Don but, for me at least not for Twins. I dunno maybe just me. To each his own.
