Nightmares plague her. They frighten her, as she relives the horrors over and over again. She wakes up screaming for the first few nights at home, startled awake and sobbing into her hands. Jaekyung faithfully soothes her back to sleep, but she looks exhausted. Hyun-Ah apologizes over and over, offering to move out so Jaekyung can get some sleep. Jaekyung declines her offer, saying that it’s fine and not to worry about it.
Han Geng, still living with them, offers to take Hyun-Ah and room with her again, considering that he now has a room to himself.
“It’s no problem, Jaekyung.” Han Geng assures her. “It’ll be like when we were younger, right Hyun-Ah?” Hyun-Ah nods quietly beside him.
--
It’s better now. She climbs into Han Geng’s bed when the nightmares wake her up. Han Geng pulls her shaking body into the comforting warmth his body radiates, the same thing he did when they were younger and she cried at night.
“Mei mei, what’s wrong?” Han Geng says gently in Mandarin. He doesn’t tell her that he already knows. He’s known since the day they were at the hospital.
“I… I can’t say it right now…” Hyun-Ah mumbles, burying her face in his shoulder.
“Alright. Just come to me when you’re ready, okay?” She nods silently in response.
--
It’s apparent what’s wrong once she flinches away from every unexpected move, when she quakes with fear at even the barest touch.
Kyuhyun says nothing, just embraces her tightly, holding her until she relaxes slightly. She shakes in his arms, trembles as he bands his arms around her, and the tears come pouring out.
“Kyu… Kyuhyun…” Hyun-Ah sobs, tears soaking his dark shirt. Kyuhyun just holds her tightly, stroking her hair gently.
“Tell me what’s wrong, Hyun-Ah.” He whispers. “I just want to protect you.” She sobs quietly as he gently leads her over to his bed, sitting down and pulling her down onto his lap. She is dangerously light, to the point where Kyuhyun worries for her health.
“I… Kyu… He… did things…” She sobs, her phrases broken and hardly understandable. Kyuhyun knows what she is trying to say - both because he knows her, and because he already knew. The doctors told all of them at the hospital. They were just trying to get her to open up about it.
“He raped you. Didn’t he?” Kyuhyun says, a steely tone creeping into his voice. She nods silently into his shirt, shuddering. “I’ll help you move on, Hyun-Ah, I’ll help you. We all will.” He promises firmly.
“D-Don’t tell…” She whispers. Kyuhyun shakes his head.
“Hyun-Ah, we all knew, the hospital staff told us.” He admits gently. “But we needed you to admit it out loud so you can start to heal.” He hugs her tightly. “I love you. Never forget that.”

She does heal, slowly. With the time that Lee Soo Man himself gives her to recover from her painful ordeal, she starts to look a little healthier. Leeteuk, Han Geng, and Kyuhyun are always trying to feed her, and it helps her. Before, she looked frail enough to break, and she looks somewhat stronger now. But she knows that once she returns to her schedule, she won’t have the chance to eat as regularly as she is now. Sometimes having a contract causes so many problems.

~April, 2010~
Jaebeom comes back. 8 long months of waiting for Eunjae, for 2PM, for Junghwa, for Hyun-Ah. But he returns, in time for the preparation of 2PM’s comeback.
--
Jaebeom doesn’t know about the kidnapping. No one tells him until it becomes necessary - meaning Hyun-Ah can’t stand being hugged anymore, and she flees to the safety of Kyuhyun’s room.
Han Geng is the one who solemnly tells Jaebeom what happened while he was gone. Jaebeom is warned to never touch Hyun-Ah unless she willingly comes up to him.

Super Junior returns from Super Show II, with almost half of the members ill. It takes them almost 2 weeks to recover completely, and for once, they are given the chance to rest in spite of their pending comeback. Han Geng doesn’t take part in the preparations - he’s still waiting for his lawsuit to go through. Kangin has decided to leave for the army come October, and so he does not participate either. Kibum… well, he’s busy acting. And thus, Super Junior is reduced to 10 members, but they still try their best. Hyun-Ah and Jaekyung are on a temporary hiatus, allowing both of them some time to rest and begin writing new songs.

Henry spends a lot of time with Miyoung - whenever possible, in fact - even though he is busy with promotions for Zhang Li Yin. They like each other, Henry and Miyoung, even though they usually don’t have the chance to spend a lot of time together. As a matter of fact, with Miyoung having just graduated, university is what occupies her mind. Still, regardless of all this, Henry asks her out, wanting to establish something that just might last.

~May, 2010~
Super Junior releases their album, and it is instantly a success. Surprisingly, Shindong takes the initiative and reveals something to the public that no one ever had a clue of before through their album. He proposes to his girlfriend, Nari. She isn’t a celebrity, the ELFs find out, but they accept her anyways - because it’s who Shindong loves, and his happiness is their priority.

“It’s catchy, oppa.” Hyun-Ah says to Leeteuk, commenting on their new album. “How to keep loving you?” She sings laughingly, and Kyuhyun pokes his head in at that minute.
“Are you singing that part again?” He says, and someone screams from the living room.
“Yeah, it’s catchy!” Hyun-Ah grins. “Wait, let’s go sing it to Junghwa.” She says, a devilish smirk forming on her face. Kyuhyun shrugs, following his long-time girlfriend out to the living room.
“What?” Junghwa asks, looking up from the TV. Hyun-Ah grins down at her, poking Kyuhyun lightly in the side. He sighs.
“How to keep loving you? Naega jinjja nege jalhalge…” They sing in unison, cut off by Junghwa’s scream.
“NOOOOOO! NOW IT’S STUCK IN MY HEAD AGAIN!” She whines.
Everyone who hears her shout that laughs, because it’s certainly not the first time they’ve heard that.
