A/N: I wrote this fic in a moment of boredom, hence the title and the genre. I really don't have any idea what other genre to give this. LoL.
I call this an adventure fic. I asked a friend for 5 words that I should use in the story and she gave me the most impossible words ever.

Henry sighed as he stared at the wall in front of him. He puffed up his cheeks and sat like that for a while, but no teasing finger came to poke him and make his cheeks deflate again. Another sigh as he let his face slip back into a more normal form. He was literally going crazy. There was simply nothing to do. In all the days he had lived, he had never experienced a day as boring as the one he was now trying to get through and the worst part was that he had brought it on himself.

The Super Junior group was back in Korea, he had no way of hopping by, since it would be evening by the time he would arrive there, Zhou Mi was out on a schedule to MC this or that Chinese show, Hangeng was in the middle of English class and Henry’s parents were out on some fancy dinner for their wedding anniversary.

He huffed as he silently promised himself to never leave his kids home alone to go on a wedding anniversary dinner. Instead, he would stay home and make pancakes for the whole family to enjoy that gorgeous day. Yes, that sounded like a good idea. But it still did not change his current situation. There still was nothing to do and he still was bored as hell. What to do?

He got up from the couch and wandered into the kitchen, desperate to find out something to do next. There was nothing but cupboards and cooking tools filling the kitchen and those weren’t really his most favourite items in the world. With a sigh, he opened the fridge and let his eyes wander over the contents. Butter, milk, carrots, fish, sausage, someone’s shoe, .. Nope, nothing interesting to find there either.

With a sigh, he plucked a strawberry out of the box and popped it in his mouth, before closing the fridge again. He was seriously going to go crazy. The day was so boring, he was probably going to end up running up the walls of this house he was basically locked in. It was close to being night and no one would be willing to go out anymore. Maybe he should just go by himself and find something to do. Maybe he should go clubbing. Maybe he should take a plane to Korea after all.

The normally always gentle Henry let out a cry of rage as he kicked against the wall, only to grab his foot in pain and hop around on one leg for a while after. He felt like a wild bird, suddenly being trapped in a cage. Most of all, he missed all his hyungs. When was the company going to let him get back to Korea? It wasn’t like there was anything interesting happening in China. At least when he was in Korea, he could hop by his hyungs from time to time. Here he could only hope that time would pass faster than it did.

Yet the president of the company had told him to stay in China. Just like Zhou Mi. They were both supposed to spend their free time in a productive way. Henry huffed. Curse he whoever invented free time. It was just an excuse for having nothing to do and being bored out of your wits. Like he was. Like he had been for the past few days.

Without realizing, Henry soon found himself standing at the fridge again, opening it to steal another strawberry. The total lack of interesting things in his head had made his thoughts into an anarchy. Useless nonsense swarmed around in his mind, making him want to shut down his brain or go to sleep to forget about it. But how ridiculous was it to go to bed at 10 PM? The night hadn’t even started yet..

The youngest member of Super Junior M finally snapped after spending another hour with staring at the television that showed no interesting program whatsoever. He shot up from the couch and stampeded towards the ‘office’ where the phone was nicely placed. Grabbing the thing from its holder, he jammed the buttons to form a phone number and finally pressed call so hard he had a moment of fear that the phone would break. Luckily he overrated his strength -or underrated the phone’s strength- so the thing stayed alive. There were only three dial tones before the other person picked up.

“Hello?” the voice he was expecting then asked. He immediately let out an annoyed sigh.

“Zhou Mi gege!” he exclaimed. “It’s me, Henry. Did you finish MC-ing yet?”

“Er, no. Well.. Yes and no. The recording was postponed because of the absence of another celebrity.” the reply came, a little confused. “Why? Is something wrong?”

Henry couldn’t believe his ears. So he had been bored for hours for nothing? Zhou Mi had been at home all along? He had been eating strawberries and hurting his toe with kicking walls for no reason? Did he stare the paint off the walls for hours while all this time his friend had been home? A sudden irritated feeling started to boil inside his stomach, making its way upwards.

“Henry?” Zhou Mi asked a little worried when the younger didn’t answer for a while. That’s when the irritation reached his highest point and the normally always cute and calm boy exploded.

“Yah! Zhou Mi gege! I have been bored to death for hours while all this time you were home!? And you didn’t even mind telling me about this postponing?” he cried out in rage. Zhou Mi had to hold the phone at a distance from his ear to not be deafened by the younger boy’s yelling. “I can’t believe this! Zhou Mi, if you don’t get over here right this instant I’m going to get my mother’s kimono and hang myself!”

Zhou Mi stared at his phone in wonder for a few moments, when he realised Henry had hung up on him. He was still staring like that when someone called again. A little dazed, he answered the call, only to be greeted by a loud and angry: “I said right this moment!”

Zhou Mi had never ran as fast as he did that day.
