There's No Changing Fate

(Ch.12)

-Twelve-

[Jungsu POV]

All the members were on edge. What on Earth was taking Rebekah so long to find Hyukjae?

Ryeowook whined. "Why can't you just tell us the good news now?"

"Because," I explained, "All the members need to be here for this."

Jongwoon grabbed Ryeowook's waist and pulled him in closer. "Just be patient, they'll all be back soon."

Just then Donghae burst open the door, his face white, like he was about to be sick. Everyone rushed over to him asking if he was okay, or if he had found Hyukjae and Rebekah.

He sat down on the couch, staring aimlessly at the men surrounding him and pummeling him with questions.

"Move out of the way!" I demanded. All the other members moved to the kitchen or into their bedrooms. I noticed Kyuhyun sitting on a chair not saying a word.

I focused my attention back to Donghae. "What did you see?" I asked seriously.

Donghae shook his head.

"Donghae, you need to tell me."

Just as he opened his mouth, Hyukjae and Rebekah burst in the door looking messier than ever. What the hell happened?

"We got chased by crazy fans in the lobby," Hyukjae explained, out of breath from running.

I looked over at Donghae again who started nodding his head violently.

"Just be careful next time guys. I don't want you to get hurt," I warned them.

[Rebekah's POV]

As I listened to Hyukjae lie to Jungsu, I kept wondering why Donghae didn't spill the truth. He hated me, didn't he?

"Come on, gather round'," Jungsu called, oblivious to everything that just occurred. "Let's spill some good news!"

"Did Siwon finally throw that bible away?" Heechul interrupted.

Siwon glared back at him.

"--well, it is falling apart, isn't it?" Heechul continued. Good save.

I looked up to an armchair and noticed Kyuhyun was still sitting there, where I'd left him. He was acting very quiet, so none of the other members really acknowledged his presence.

"Kyuhyun, come sit by me," I called patting the empty spot on the ground next to me.

After he sat, and everyone was comfortable, Jungsu started to speak.

"It seems Soo Man is making a change in our group."

Gasps were heard throughout the members.

"Guys, it's good news remember?" Jungsu reminded.

That seemed to shut them up.

Jungsu pointed to Kyuhyun. "This is Cho Kyuhyun, and he's Super Junior's thirteenth member."

Kyuhyun waved awkwardly.

"Please make him feel welcome."

No one seemed to care for him too much, which I found surprising. Kyuhyun was such a nice person, why did everyone seem to resent him?

Donghae stood up and went over to Kyuhyun holding his arms open.

At least Donghae accepted him, I thought. Suddenly I felt Hyukjae's arms wrap tight around my waist, almost possessively. I leaned back into his embrace and closed my eyes.

When I opened them again, we were the only ones in the livingroom, except for Donghae, who stared into my eyes almost sympathetically.

My body jumped at the sight of him like this. Hyukjae unfastened his hold on me at this.

"I'm not mad," Donghae explained. "I just want an explanation."

Oh. Now where have I heard that before?
