Chapter Four
Whaaa, how can I go shopping with this little pumpkin-boy...? How can he give me advice about the right clothes? He will probably choose only the pink ones... Wait - but don't I look just AWESOME in pink? Hm... Maybe that's not a bad idea at all...
Omo, omo, omo! That's a big shopping centre, huh?! Why haven't I been here before? Looks like Heechul hyung wants to spend his whole day here... I hope it's gonna be fun... Oh, I see a wine shop over there! Amazing! I should show it to Kyuhyun someday...
"Hyung. Can we go to this wine shop here for a while?" Sungmin suggested, looking at his mate hopefully. They had just entered the shopping centre, due to Heechul's wish to go buy some new clothes. The younger one didn't really want to do so, he'd rather go to the movies, play bowling and things like that - he wasn't in the mood to walk through this crowded and without fresh air place. He did it for his hyung though, wanting him to be happy. Moreover, now that he had spotted the wine shop, he thought that maybe it won't be a bad thing to stroll around for a little bit.
"Hm... But I need to buy clothes! I really do! There's not much time left!"
Sungmin looked at his watch. It was 11AM at that moment.
"Er, we still have eight hours left... Okay, maybe seven, subtracting the time we need to get back home. You call that not much?!"
"Yeah!"
Heechul ignored his dongsaeng's wish and rushed into the first shop with clothing that he spotted. The younger one stood in the middle of the entrance, left alone. He didn't know what to do now - treat Heechul the same way and go into the wine shop or follow him into the boutique? After a deep sigh he decided to find his hyung because otherwise they could get lost in this crowd...
When he finally entered the shop, he took a look around and saw Heechul at the other side of the place, carrying already a lot of t-shirts in his hands. Sungmin stepped closer to him and that was probably his biggest mistake.
"Ahhh, Sungmin! Here, hold this..." the elder said quickly and after a few seconds Sungmin got overloaded with the huge pile of clothing. Heechul was still finding new ones and throwing them onto Min's hands - so after a while the younger one didn't even see anything in front of him and Heechul had to lead him through the shop by hand.
"Hyung... Isn't this a bit too much?" Sungmin asked, being a bit confused by the way his companion shopped and the answer he got was:
"No! How else can I know what looks good on me? Yeah, probably everything will - but well, I still have to try them on first! What, are you impatient? Why such a hurry? We still have a lot of time!"
Now the confusion of Min grew even bigger... Didn't his hyung say a while ago that there's not much time left? Huh, he could never really understand this person - there was definitely no one weirder in this world than him. He liked this mysterious eccentricity of Heechul but it could also be a bit annoying sometimes.
Finally Heechul stopped looking through the hangers to find something that would appeal to him and headed towards the fitting room. Sungmin followed him quietly, taking little steps so that he wouldn't bump into someone and drop this monstrous mountain of clothes... what would be a big disaster. He put all the t-shirts on a chair in one of the cabins and was more than happy to get rid of them. The elder entered the cabin and turned his head to Sungmin, sending him a foolish smile.
"Good job, pumpkin! Now, would you please excuse me-"
"Sure... but I won't stand here and wait till you try all this stuff on. I'll go to this nearby wine shop and meet you here in fifteen minutes, ok, hyung?"
Heechul shrugged and started to move the curtain, saying:
"Fine, do what you want. Just don't forget about your hyung! Come back! Don't try to trick me and run away! The Heechul monster will always find you, kekeke~"
He covered the cabin with the curtain and Sungmin heard him singing while he was trying the first t-shirt on. The younger one couldn't help but laugh about this person - he was too amusing. A moment later, a loud complaint came out of the cabin:
"Aish! Took the wrong size!"
Sungmin's eyes widened as he heard that and he quickly left the shop - to avoid being Heechul's porter once again. Well... I'll come back in half of an hour, not in fifteen minutes, he thought and moved towards his dreamland aka the wine shop.
**
Sungmin ultimately didn't spend fifteen minutes in the wine shop, nor did he half of an hour. He got so fascinated by the different kinds of wine from all over the world that he just lost the sense of time... And when he finally realized that he should go back to Heechul, it was already nearly 1PM.
"Oh no!" he whispered and hurried into the shop where he had been with Heechul before - but would his hyung really still be there? If he wanted to see me, he would have called me or come to the wine shop. So he still didn't finish trying on the t-shirts, I guess...
But the elder couldn't be found anywhere in the boutique... Sungmin looked through all the rows with clothes and checked out the fitting room - there just wasn't any sign of Heechul left. What to do in this case? He took out his cellphone and called his hyung's number.
Beep...
Beep...
"Sungmin!" the voice in the speaker yelled and he heard someone coughing in the background. Huh?!
"Heechul-sshi, where are you?"
"It's bad, really bad! I got kidnapped!"
"WHAT? What are you talking about?"
"Okay, maybe not kidnapped but it's an awful situation..." Heechul's voice lowered now and he whispered "I'm being abused! You must come quickly!"
"Abused?! Hyung, what's the matter?!"
"You will see! Just come as fast as you can, okay! I'm in the cafe next to your wine shop"
With this last words, Heechul disconnected and left Sungmin in deep shock. His dongsaeng was really worried now - what happened to him? This whole kidnapping and being abused thingy didn't sound nice... The younger one really needed to hurry now and see what the situation was.
Sungmin ran into the cafe as if he would run for his life. With a shortened breath, he looked around and seeked the elder... There he is! He found him sitting in a lonely corner and talking to a stranger. It was a tall and slim man, maybe around his 30's. He was sitting opposite Heechul and laughing to him, while the 'kidnapped' one was laughing back. They seemed to spend a nice time together so Sungmin wondered now what this all was supposed to be.
"Yaah, there he is!" Heechul shouted cheerfully, seeing Sungmin coming closer. "Sungmin, you won't believe this! I wanted to leave the previous shop and who did I see at the cash desk? It's my high school friend! Meeting him after so many years, that's unbelievable!" he got excited while announcing this and clapped his hands in joy. The man in front of him turned his head towards Sungmin and smiled. "I'm Jin-Ho. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Sungmin" the boy bowed his head, never forgetting about the right behavior. But right after saying this, he looked at Heechul and asked confused:
"So what were you talking about on the phone? You're not being abused, are you?"
"Ahh... No-no-no, of course I am! I'm being abused by lots of stories about his sweet life with his wife! Now I want to have a wife, too!!!" the elder explained and Jin-Ho laughed loudly, hearing this. That was so typically Heechul! "Oi, today is Valentine's Day, isn't it? Do you have any plans?" he asked his friend suddenly.
"Yeah, that's why I'm here... Bought my wife a nice present." the man pointed at the bag next to him.
Sungmin fell on the seat beside Heechul and took a deep breath. He had worried so much! Now it was time to get some solid relax.
"I think I desperately need a cup of ice cream now."
**
The HeeMin couple spent about an hour in the cafe, talking with Heechul's friend. He was really nice and talkative so Sungmin was glad to meet a person like this. They had a nice time together and Min was even sad when Jin-Ho finally said goodbye.
The two Super Junior members didn't leave the shopping centre though, they continued with Heechul's clothing trip. He bought some new trousers, shoes and a jacket - Sungmin stayed all the time by his side now, not wanting to get involved in a situation like before. It was actually even quite fun to see how eagerly the elder shopped. Moreover, Sungmin found himself a good-looking suit and couldn't resist to buy it.
Later, they both went to the wine shop and Min showed his hyung which sorts of wine he liked the most. Heechul did something unexpected then - when they were about to leave the shop, he told Sungmin to wait for him and went back to the wine bottles. He came back to his mate, holding two of them in his hands.
"Here, take this. It's my Valentine's treat for you."
Sungmin was speechless and happy.
It was 4PM when they finally went outside, leaving the shopping centre behind. The fresh air blowed into their faces and it was a really good feeling. Even Heechul, who enjoyed his shopping adventure so much, was glad to be there now. They spotted a bench in front of the centre and sat down on it for some while because their feet hurt a bit now, after so many hours of strolling.
"I had a nice time today, hyung. Thank you. And thank you for the wine as well, you must come over to my place when I open it!" Sungmin said and showed his friend a warm smile. Heechul waved his hand as if it wasn't a big deal for him but in the inside he was glad to see his dongsaeng in a state like this. Yeah, he could be a weirdo sometimes and yeah, he was often harsh towards others but he really wanted to be friends with all of his bandmates.
"That's pretty obvious that I'll come and taste it! I would be very angry if you opened it without me" Heechul laughed and stretched his legs. "Should we go back home now?"
"I think Wookie won't let us in since Leeteuk told him not to do so before 7PM..." Sungmin sighed.
"Ah, he's a good boy, he will give in when he sees our puppy eyes."
"No, I don't think it's a good idea... Let's find something else to do" he suggested and the men became silent, thinking heavily about what to do next.
Suddenly Sungmin noticed the billboard next to the shopping centre... Eureka! That's it!
"Hyung, do you see the advertisement there?"
"Where? ...aaaa! You mean, we should..."
"Yeah!" Sungmin shouted full of excitement, not even letting his hyung finish the sentence. "Let's go there!"
"Nah, fine!" Heechul answered and they both immediately stood up, took their shopping bags and hit the road, heading towards their final destination.
