Title: Henry, The New Kibum
Pairing: Bandfic
Rating: PG
Summary: Donghae thinks he has a way to give the fans Kim Kibum.
Leeteuk was enjoying a rare time of peace and quiet. Most of the other members were out at their schedules or were taking a chance to rest. The only member out in the living room with him was Donghae and he was sprawled on the couch playing a game.
Leeteuk let a contented smile appear on his face as he turned a page of his book. But as with everything Super Junior, the peace would not last. Ten minutes later, Leeteuk’s peace was interrupted by a certain dongsang.
“Hyung, I’ve been thinking.”
Leeteuk paused and lowered his book, “About what Hae?” he was really hoping it was something simple.
Donghae answered, “I think, I came up with a way to give the fans Kibum, without him actually being with us.”
Leeteuk closed the book, knowing it would be a bit before he got back to it and turned to Donghae. He gave Donghae his full attention and said, “I’m sorry. What?” Leeteuk was sure he heard him wrong.
Donghae had an utterly serious look on his face. “I said, I think I know a way to give the fans Kibum, without him being here.”
Leeteuk gave him a confused look. “And just how are you going to accomplish that?” Leeteuk asked, not expecting anything too outrageous.
Donghae smiled, “It’s really easy. We just get Henry to pretend he’s Kibum.”
Leeteuk just stared at him in shock. He even blinked a good twenty times, just staring at him. Donghae just looked at him waiting, calmly, for him to praise him on such a brilliant idea.
“And just how do you propose to go thru with that?” Leeteuk asked, so proud of himself for sounding so calm, when he really wanted to do was smack Donghae for being an idiot.
Donghae smiled, “It’ll be easy.”
Leeteuk gave him a skeptical look, “Uh huh.”
Donghae nodded, “No, really it is. Everyone knows that Kibum doesn’t talk much. All we have to do is get some super easy plastic surgery done to Henry and start calling him Kibum around fans.”
Leeteuk could feel a headache forming, “Super easy plastic surgery?”
Donghae nodded again, “Yea. We just have to get a recent picture of Kibum and take it to a doctor. Honestly, I think all we would really have to do is make Henry’s teeth super straight and white and that will be it.”
“And you expect the fans to believe that Henry is Kibum? What about when Henry has to go and do Super Junior M promotions?” Leeteuk asked, hoping to get Donghae, himself to realize how ridiculous this was all sounding.
“It’s not going to be permanent obviously. It’s just to give the fans Kibum for a while and to be happy. This way, Kibum doesn’t have to feel pressured from the fans to come back.” Donghae beamed.
Leeteuk’s eye twitched, “And what about Henry’s promotions and fans noticing his sudden resemblance to Kibum?”
Donghae was quiet for a minute; long enough that Leeteuk almost believed he got thru to the younger one.
He was about to get up, when Donghae spoke again, “Simple, they won’t think to connect it. Just call him Kibum and they will believe it, call him Henry and they will believe that too. Kibum’s been gone long enough they are going to say that he has had plastic surgery anyway.” Donghae argued.
Leeteuk was struck with how much he has thought of this. He finally got tired of listening to it and decided to put an end to it. “Donghae, listen. I’m amazed at how much planning you put into this, but it’s just not possible. Kibum, HIMSELF, will comeback when the time is right and I doubt poor Henry would survive all the lies.”
Leeteuk watched as Donghae’s eyes dropped to the floor and his shoulders sagged. He didn’t mean to upset him, but he needed to know this.
“Now, please drop it and let’s never talk about it again.” Leeteuk finished and gently put his hand on his shoulder, “Please?” he asked.
Donghae sighed, “Ok Hyung. I won’t talk about it again.”
Leeteuk smiled, “Good. Now, why don’t you get washed up. I believe we are going out for dinner.”
Leeteuk watched as Donghae got up and shuffled toward his room. He didn’t want to be mean, but sometimes that’s the only way to get thru to him. Leeteuk was just glad he decided to drop it.
Leeteuk got up and went to get ready, believing he would never have to listen to that insane plan again.
Oh how wrong he was, Donghae just changed tactics.

4 Days Later
Leeteuk was getting a drink in the kitchen, when Henry came running around the corner yelling, “Hyuuunnggggg!”
Leeteuk had a sudden sense of dread. He just knew he wasn’t going to like this. What Henry said next, proved it.
“Hyung! Donghae is freaking me out, like big time.” Henry said, staring at Leeteuk with frightened eyes.
Leeteuk groaned, “What is Donghae doing?” he asked, even though he had a pretty good idea what it was about and that it wasn’t going to be good.
Henry took a deep breath and started a fast rant. “Well, at first he was just always talking to me about past stuff from before I joined. I was like cool; I get to hear all these cool stories. Then, he started taking pictures of me; again, nothing that really freaked me out. Well, then he started taking picture of me at all angles and taking pictures of my smile. That’s about when I was starting to get a little worried, but I just thought it was Donghae being Donghae. Then, he started calling me Kibum. That’s when I figured something wasn’t fully right.”
Leeteuk just listened, dropped his head to the table and groaned. It seemed that Donghae hadn’t let the idea go; Henry wasn’t finished yet.
“I tried to ignore him calling me that, I even tried to tell him numerous times that, that wasn’t my name, but he wouldn’t listen. Then this morning, he had me watching old shows with Kibum on them. Telling me to watch how he laughed and moved and to try and copy that. Hyung, it’s like he’s trying to turn me into Kibum. I was only able to escape because he said he had a few calls to make and he would talk to me later. I’m truly freaked now.” Henry finished, giving a frightened looked to Leeteuk.
He grabbed onto Leeteuk’s arm, “You have to stop him.”
Leeteuk just sighed again. He had no idea how he was suppose to fix this. He knew he was going to have to talk to Donghae again and that it might not hurt to move Henry into the other dorm for a while.
Leeteuk looked at Henry, who was still holding onto his arm, and said “Don’t worry; I’ll go talk to him now. Also, maybe you should move to the other dorm for awhile, just until Donghae calms down.”
Henry just nodded and followed Leeteuk to Donghae’s room. When they got there, they heard talking. They peeked in, to see Donghae on the phone.
“Kibum. Hey. Just calling to see how you are.” Donghae was reclining on his bed.
He snorted, “What do you mean, I must want something? Can’t I call just to chat?”
Leeteuk watched as Donghae laughed at whatever he was saying.
“Okay I’ll spill; can you send a couple recent pictures of you? Like one of your smile and a couple ones of different angles of your body.” Donghae asked.
‘Poor Kibum,’ Leeteuk thought, ‘I can almost tell what he must be thinking.’ When Donghae blushed, Leeteuk knew he was right.
“No, no it’s not for me.” Donghae stammered, “I just need them for a project.” Donghae listened for a moment and turned a deeper shade or red, “NO, it’s not a naked project and I did not ask you to send me nude pics; just normal pictures to show what you look like.”
After a couple minutes of Donghae listening to Kibum, he flushed. “No, no, no. I’m telling the truth.” He paused for a second, “Fine, I’ll tell you why I need them. I know that you have been to busy to be with us and I understand that. I came up with a plan to make the fans happy by turning Henry into you for while you are gone.”
Leeteuk felt Henry tense next to him, apparently he didn’t get why Donghae was doing all of this.
Donghae was just sitting there for a minute, before he had to move the phone away from his ear.
“ARE YOU COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND!?” Everyone could hear Kibum shouting from the phone. Then, it was just yelling they could hear.
Donghae winced and spoke into the phone, “I see you need some time to think about it. I’ll just use some older pictures. That should work anyway, that’s how most fans remember you.”
The yelling stopped, only to get louder when Donghae said that. Donghae hung up before Kibum could fully get his message across. Leeteuk saw a smile on Donghae’s face, as he turned toward him and Henry and before Leeteuk could understand what it was about, Donghae dropped the smile when he saw them standing there.
Donghae cleared his throat “So, um, how long have you two been standing there?”
Henry just stared him and squeaked “I gotta go.” and ran out of the dorm.
Leeteuk watched as he rounded the corner and looked back at Donghae. “Long enough, that Henry heard why you have been doing all that to him. I bet it will be a while before he comes back to this dorm.” Leeteuk leveled Donghae with a look, “I thought we agreed to drop this idea.”
Donghae looked away and started fidgeting, “We did, but I took it as to not discuss it with you again.”
Leeteuk groaned and went to sit down across from Donghae, “Why is this so important?”
Donghae stilled and looked away from Leeteuk, “I figured that if Kibum sees how the fans are so happy to see his look a like, that he might come back for good.” Donghae wouldn’t look at Leeteuk.
Leeteuk wanted to believe him because it seemed like a logical reason, for Donghae at least, but the fact that Donghae wouldn’t look at him, had his flags up.
Leeteuk ignored it though and said, “That’s a worthy reason, but I don’t think that’s how we should go about getting him back. He’ll come back when its time. Now, again, please let this drop, I don’t want to have to pay for Henry’s therapy from this.”
Donghae nodded “Okay, Hyung. I realized on the phone with Kibum, that it was a lost cause.”
Leeteuk narrowed his eyes at Donghae, ‘He never gives in this easy. Something is going to happen. I might as well tell the other members to be on the look out.’
Leeteuk patted him on his shoulder and left the room to go talk to the other members.
~~~~~~~~~
A few days later, Leeteuk was sure everything had finally calmed down. He hasn’t heard anything more of the plan from Donghae and Henry has started to venture up here again. Donghae has even started calling him Henry again.
All the members decided to watch a movie together, so everyone was getting the living room ready, getting the popcorn and blankets out. Leeteuk noticed Donghae toting his bag around with him. He has had that bag with him for the past few days and Leeteuk was wary of it.
With everyone getting comfortable and the previews were starting when the dorm door banged open, a furious Kibum came storming in. The members were just staring at the sight of Kibum in the dorm.
They were snapped out of it when Kibum started speaking. “YOU!” Kibum pointed at Donghae, “You can’t just tell me you’re planning on turning Henry into me, then hang up and not answer any of my calls or texts.” Kibum shouted.
Donghae was still for all of five seconds, before he took a flying leap and tackled him. He then, proceeded to yell at the other members. “Quick get the stuff out of my bag!”
Donghae was wrestling Kibum to the ground at this point, “Eunhyuk, quick call the manager. Tell him Kibum came back and to quickly announce it to the fans.”
Leeteuk could nothing, but watch as Sungmin was pulling ropes and a gag out of Donghae bag and Donghae, Yesung, and Kyuhyun tying Kibum up with them.
As Eunhyuk was on the phone, Donghae turned to a glaring, gagged Kibum and said “I was never intending to do that to Henry. He could never pull you off. My real plan was to make him and you think that I was, because I know he would whine about it, just so you would come storming in here to find out what was going on. The only way to make sure you would, was to piss you off. Now, that Eunhyuk has the manager releasing this information, you have no choice, but to stay with us or have our fans out for your blood.” After a monologue like that, Donghae did the only thing he could do; he laughed like an evil manic.
Leeteuk just sighed and took one last look at Kibum. He could read pain in his eyes, pain for everyone involved. Leeteuk decided it would be a good thing to leave. He grabbed Henry and pulled him out of the dorm.
Just as he was closing the door, he heard a loud crash and yelling. It seems that Kibum was able to escape. Leeteuk did the only thing a leader could do at a time like this. He walked away faster.
