Chapter 9: Planning The Honeymoon

Why do we even have a chapter on this? I thought it was the groom's responsibility? ~SunRi

It is. But, hints and suggestions are needed; you don't want to end up in some dilapidated hut in the middle of nowhere, do you? ~JooLi

Oh, please! Like it matters where the honeymoon will take place! The bride and groom will be otherwise occupied! *wickedly grins* ~SoRi

Which explains why we call EunMi the "Honeymoon Baby", right? ~HyeBin

I still say you should go somewhere that has a variety of activities to do. ~AeYoung

Why? All the fun will take place in the hotel room! ~SunRi & SoRi

**************************************

Two days after Misa left for vacation with her brothers, Kyuhyun was going crazy. He had promotional activities to keep him busy during most of the day, but when those were over and night fell, his mind was allowed to think for itself and breathe. And, inevitably, his thoughts tended to drift towards Misa.

Was she having fun? Was the weather too cold? What game was she playing? Had those fanboy stalkers found her? Question upon question peppered his mind as he paced his apartment, desperately trying to find something to distract him.

Unbelievably, StarCraft held no interest for him. The first time he'd attempted to play, the image of violent explosions somehow made him think of the worst possible scenario involving Misa, her Xbox and crazy fanboys. He'd slammed his laptop shut soon after that.

He supposed he could call her, but he honestly didn't feel like getting his head ripped off over the phone. Mikko had explained that The Wives knew the only phone calls allowed were to say good-morning and good-night to their families, and only emergencies; text messages were always welcome, but other than that, no phone calls.

"We'll be there to play games," Mikko had explained with such seriousness that Kyuhyun hadn't dared point out that he'd thought it was so Misa could relax. "We take our gaming seriously."

Kyuhyun had agreed to the need-only phone calls at first, not knowing how insane it was having no real contact with his fiancée. As the third day of Misa's absence crept by, however, he was beginning to regret allowing Misa to go.

The rest of the Super Junior members were beginning to regret it, too, only because Kyuhyun going crazy meant they were suffering with him. Kangin threatened to throw the magnae out the window after the third time in five minutes that Kyuhyun had stormed into the dorm, wailing, "I'M BOOOORRRREEEED, HYUNGS!" and then proceeded to shoot down any and all suggestions of things to entertain him. Ryeowook had burst into tears after Kyuhyun had criticized dish after dish that the eternal magnae had thoughtfully prepared for him, earning him glare from Sungmin.

Even Heechul, usually the master of the sharp-witted tongue, became exasperated and called Zhoumi. "He'll be hanging from the window by his toes if you don't come and get him!" he'd threatened the Chinese man before abruptly hanging up. Zhoumi had immediately dropped what he was doing and all but dragged Kyuhyun from the dorm.

"What's the problem, Kui Xian?" Zhoumi asked, leading the younger man back to their apartment. He followed him inside, nudging the grumpy magnae in the back, prompting him to sit on the couch.

Kyuhyun let out a frustrated growl as he flung himself down upon the piece of furniture. "What do you think is the matter?" he nearly shouted at his roommate. His eyes were scrunched and blazing, his mouth seemingly frozen in a deadly scowl.
