Youngwoon let his eyes wander over the screen a little absentmindedly, wishing for Music Bank to go by faster so that he could see his friends. Over the past few days he had been very busy packing, but the members had tried to get him to watch their first performance of the follow-up song by saying they would do something on stage to surprise him. Not that he needed that much convincing to watch, but anyway, there he was looking at them.

Now that he sat there, however, he wasn’t really sure if he wanted to spend an hour behind his television, waiting for them to appear. He was just about to turn up the volume so that he could go on packing and just run back when he heard the song start, when someone rang his doorbell. A little surprised, he got up from the couch to walk to the door, turning up the volume after all in case their performance would start. His eyes widened when he saw who was standing behind the door.

Kibum, in his turn, just smiled at him, giving him a short ‘Evening, hyung.’ before walking past him. Youngwoon followed him with his eyes, unable to move himself just yet, and saw how the younger dropped his bag on the ground and sat down, his eyes focused on the television. It took Youngwoon another minute to get himself to move again, closing the door and walking towards the couch as well, but once he was there, he got back to his senses.

“Yah, Kibum-ah, what are you doing here?” he asked, disgruntled.

“Watching the performance with you.” the other replied, showing off his signature smile without looking away from the television. “They told me they were going to do something special for you, I am curious.”

Youngwoon was about to talk back, when the first notes of Super Junior’s song started playing and he quickly shut his mouth again, turning his eyes to the television as well. He would never admit it, but he was curious to see what the members would do for him. He noticed how they were all looking good, healthy and quite happy, which made him smile contentedly. At least they were all doing fine and he wouldn’t have to worry too much when he went off to the army.

As the song progressed, he noticed everyone’s wide smile and realised they were looking a little TOO happy. He had gotten to know those looks in their eyes long time ago and he had learned not to trust it at all. When Ryeowook’s part came, his eyes fell on Jungsoo dancing behind the eternal maknae, with a smile on his face that spread from one ear to the other. He decided to keep a close eye on the leader, because he knew that something was off.

All throughout Donghae’s, Heechul’s and Kyuhyun’s part, he kept looking at Jungsoo, but the elder only smiled his this-is-not-promising-much-good-smile without actually doing something. Then it was Jongwoon’s turn and his same-aged friend suddenly blew a kiss at the audience. A few moments later Jungsoo did a peace sign as well. Youngwoon could hear Kibum chuckle and he smiled a little himself, realising that it was nice fanservice.

It was only when Sungmin blew a kiss as well and everyone kept on grinning wider and wider, that he realised that it was no fanservice, it was what they had promised to do for him. Only they had thought of their ‘special surprise’ a little differently than he had done..

“What the..?” he mumbled, as realisation hit him, and then he exploded. “What the hell are you doing? Stop blowing kisses at me! You little..! Argh! I can’t even hit them! Oh, this is terrible! Ugh! It’s making me sick even thinking about it!” he boomed, making Kibum smile.

“I know. I have homesickness too, hyung.” the younger then said softly, his eyes not for once leaving the television screen where the whole group ended with all kinds of silly poses and retarded grins that Youngwoon couldn’t help but smile about. Mere moments later he got a phone call and he picked up to hear the laughter of his ten friends greeting him and an innocent 'Did you like it, hyung?' coming from Donghae.

Yes, it was going to be boring without them.
