Phone calls
I
Hankyung calls Kangin the day he comes back from the army.
“Kangin ah”
“Hankyung hyung!” Kangin’s voice is a little deeper than Hankyung remembers, but even across the phone lines, he can hear the familiar smile. They talk about army life and not following schedules and missing the others.
“How’s Teukie?”
“Oh he’s good. Are you dating anyone hyung?”
There’s a pause and Kangin knows Hankyung didn’t miss his change of subject. “Yes I am.”
He doesn’t say anymore and Kangin doesn’t feel like he has the right to ask.
II
The next time, it’s Kangin who calls and he dials the number even when he doesn’t know what he wants to say.
“There’s a girl.” He blurts it out, and when there’s no response, Kangin rambles on about how they met during his suspension period, how they exchanged letters the whole time he was in the army, how she’s a lovely girl-
He doesn’t say that she’s more than a friend, because in their world, when “there’s a girl” it’s never something insignificant.
“Do you love her?” The question comes out quietly, not accusing, but the guilt hits Kangin anyway.
“Hyung…”
“Do you love her?”
“…yes…”
“More than him?” Him means Leeteuk, Kangin knows. His answer is the truth and he’s surprised by how sure he is. “No.”
“But you’re still going to choose her aren’t you?”
This time he doesn’t have to answer, because they both know what it would be.
III
“I’m getting married.” Kangin says it like it’s nothing. Simple, direct, emotionless.
Hankyung’s silent for the longest time and he takes a shallow breath before speaking, as if he was badly winded.
“Have you told the others?”
“No, I don’t know how to…”
“Tell Teuk first. Don’t be a coward, it’s better that way.”
IV
“I told them hyung”
“I heard Heechul slapped you. And you made my Wookie cry.”
It never fails to amaze Kangin how even though he’s not there, Hankyung always seems to know every last thing that happens.
“Hyung, you know it’s freaky how you know everything?”
Hankyung chuckled, “I have my sources.”
“It couldn’t possibly be a certain lovely little kind maknae of ours would it?”
”Nope definitely not. Since when did we get a new kind maknae?”
They both laughed and Kangin felt himself relax for the first time since he broke the news.
V
“They all hate me.”
“No they don’t, Kangin-ah, they’re just angry. It’ll fade soon.”
“Hyung…Teukie..he looks so…I just want to-”
“Leave him alone, Kangin. Trust me, unless you’re willing to leave that girl, don’t try to look after Teukie. Not now, it’s too soon. Being around you, would just…hurt.”
“But it hurts me to see him so broken, I-”
“Don’t. Don’t hang around him, don’t say you’ll love him always, don’t…care.” Hankyung took a ragged breath, “Don’t do what Siwon did.”
VI
“You sent me two tickets Kangin-ah.”
“I know. I though maybe you’ll want to bring your lover.”
“Well…I was thinking of going with Teuk.”
“Oh. Well, I think he’s going with Heechul…”
“Ahh, that’s good. Hmmm…then probably. Would the others want me to?”
“Well, Wookie, Hae and Kyu probably won’t want you to, although im sure Henry, Hyuk and Sungmin wouldn’t mind at all. But you know your boys still haven’t forgiven you for going as Yoochun’s date to Shindong’s wedding!”
“Yoochun’s one of my best friends!” Hankyung said with a laugh at the memory.
“Still doesn’t mean they have to like it!”
“So will we finally be meeting this mysterious beloved of yours? Oh by the way before you decide, it’s not exactly going to be media-free, and all the focus is going to be on you, so if your lover isn’t use to the spotlight, maybe…”
Hankyung chuckled, and Kangin knew there was something he was missing here. “Hyung?”
“It’s fine, we’ll be there Kangin ah. Wouldn’t want to miss your big day!”
VII
“Really Kangin, did you have to send a sugar-filled Donghae and an un-caffeinated Kyu to pick me up?” Despite his exasperated tone, Kangin could tell he was happy to see his favorite dongsaengs.
“Oh please hyung, everyone knows you love those two, don’t even try to hide your biases! And plus, they were being nothing but trouble over here, so I carted them off to you!”
“Gee thanks Youngwoon.”
“You know I love you hyung!”
“Alright alright, I’ll see you later.”
VIII
“Congratulations Kangin ah. It was a beautiful wedding.”
“I can not believe you did not tell us that you were dating Jaejoong hyung!”
“Oh the looks on everyone’s face…”
“yeah…”
“What is it Kangin?”
“Do you think everyone is going to hate her always?”
“Kangin! They-”
“I don’t know who to be sorry to, Teuk or my wife. I abdandoned one for the other, but now everyone hates her. She’s going to be the second Yerin…”
“…they really hate Yerin?”
“Of course they do.What do you expect? To them, she’s the bitch that stole Siwon away from you. No matter how nice she is or how talented, she’ll always pale in comparison to you in their eyes.”
“I feel sorry for her…”
“You know, I talked to Siwon today…he regrets it you know…he’s not happy with his fiance…”
“It’s too late for regrets now.”
“But you still love him…”
“Yes, I think there’s a part of me that always will. Like Teukie will always love you. But we move on. Not always to better people, but to people better for us.”
“Yeah…but better is not always what we want is it?”
IX
“Hey hyung! Can you be my baby’s godfather?”
“What? Are you serious, Kangin ah? I can’t even speak Korean properly!”
“Hyunnnng, do you really want to doom my child forever?”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
“Well I can’t ask Teukie and Heechul would make him bitchy and he’ll end up emo and turtle loving with Yesung and Sungmin will turn him into a girl and he’ll go all religious with Siwon and Kyuhyun will turn him evil and-” Kangin ranted in one breath.
“Okay okay! I get the point!” Hankyung yelled between laughter. “I’ll be your child’s godfather, as long as you don’t mind me turning him all martial arty and dancey.”
“Oh thank God hyung!”
They talked for a while and then before he’s about to leave, Hankyung chuckles, “Kangin ah, you do know I live with Jaejoong right?”
“Yeah…so?”
“oh nothing! Just wanted to tell you how good Jaejoong is with kids…bye!” With a snicker, he hangs up, leaving Kangin confused for a moment, before it dawned and he facepalmed.
He was going to end up with an ice statue of a kid destined to fall for a Chinese dancer. And how often did those come along?
