(Day 13 of the Fanfiction series.)


Super Junior was in the dance studio preparing for an upcoming performance. During one of their breaks, Shindong was by the stereo equipment with Donghae and Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk looked over at Shindong who had his laptop out, reading something.

“Oh, please don’t tell me that’s fanfiction,” Eunhyuk pleaded, “This damn challenge of hyung’s has caused so much trouble already.”

“I agree,” Donghae began when his cellular phone began to ring. He answered it, “Yes? Hi Kibum… yeah, we’re on break right now. Two-faced little whore? Who’s that? Kibum, before this challenge you and Eunhyuk were very good friends. No… No I am not defending him because I am in love with him…”

Eunhyuk turned his attention back to Shindong, “You seem just as happy with fanfictions as we are, hyung. What’s up?”

“Well… it just seems every story I read with me in it, I don’t have a pairing,” Shindong replied,

Eunhyuk blinked, “Eh?”

“Well like, you know Eeteuk and Kangin are Kangteuk? And Heechul and Hankyung are Hanchul? And you and Donghae are Eun –”

He paused as Donghae continued speaking on the phone, “No I am not standing beside him…”

“Um… how Kibum and Donghae are Kihae?” Shindong corrected himself. Eunhyuk nodded; “Well, I don’t have a pairing.”

“But… hyung… you’re straight,” Eunhyuk stated simply,

“Well I know I’m straight, and all of you know I’m straight… but you’re straight and they pair you up with,” he glanced at Donghae,

“Well, maybe you should just appear with Super Junior more often and then you wouldn’t have to worry about me hooking up with someone else. What? A ninja? … No, I don’t understand how you’re a ninja,” Donghae stated, rolling his eyes and placing his free hand on his hip,

“I’m just saying, if they’re going to pair off even the straight members, the least they could do is pair me off too,” Shindong defended as he closed his laptop, “It’s only fair.”

“But hyung… you’re straight,” Eunhyuk repeated, “You don’t actually want to be with one of the other members, do you?”

“Of course not, but in the fanfiction world, I would like the option of being in a pairing,” Shindong explained,

“No, that isn’t Eunhyuk you hear, it’s Shindong-hyung,” Donghae stated on the phone, “Hmm? Oh, he’s just complaining about being straight.”

“I am not complaining about being straight,” Shindong snapped, “I’m just saying that I, as a fictional character, would like some more love from the fanfiction authors when they write their stories of me.”

“It’s because you’re the manliest of us all, hyung,” Eunhyuk insisted,

Shindong scoffed at him, “Yeah, right. I even lost all this weight and I still get no romantic recognition in stories.”

Eunhyuk blinked, “Are you telling me that part of you losing weight was because of this?”

Shindong shot him a look, “Of course. Do you think this is the first time I’ve read fanfiction?” Shindong rolled his eyes, “I’m usually quite an advocate for fanfiction, but I never read any about me until now. Heck, I’ve even written fanfiction myself.”

Eunhyuk gaped, “You, hyung? You write fanfiction?”

Shindong rolled his eyes, hands on his hips, “Of course, who do you think started all of this ‘Eunhae’ stuff?”

Donghae, who had just hung up his phone, stared at Shindong, “You started ‘Eunhae’!?”

“Of course I did,” Shindong shook his head, “How else do you think the authors first got their ideas for these pairings? It’s because of me.”

Donghae and Eunhyuk exchanged a look, “Really!?”

Shindong opened his laptop once more. He began to open a folder which contained more folders, each with a specific pairing title, “See? Kangteuk, Hanchul, Eunhae, Yewook, Kyumin –”

“I wonder how many of your Kyumin stories Zhou Mi read yesterday,” Eunhyuk stated,

“A lot of them,” Shindong confessed, “Heechul got them from me and gave Sungmin the links.” He turned back to the younger men, “So you see… I’m responsible for starting the SJ pairings. What I’d like to know is why no one will start one featuring me?”

“Why don’t you start one yourself, hyung?” Donghae asked,

“Because that’s just being vain,” Shindong said simply. “For example, this one author, Cheonsa, she writes so many stories but not once have I been in a romantic pairing. And, the one time I have the opportunity to do so, she forestalls the story!”

“Isn’t that the same author that made Henry cry?” Eunhyuk asked,

“She didn’t make him cry, just almost commit murder on a plane,” Donghae replied. At Eunhyuk’s raised eyebrow, he added, “I’ll tell you about it later.”

Eunhyuk nodded when he realized Shindong had been typing the entire time. He looked at the screen, “Donghae told Eunhyuk he’d tell him about it later… Hyung! Are you writing a story right now?”

“No,” Shindong denied as he saved the file and closed his laptop, “Just taking some notes.”

“Hyung! Kibum seriously won’t talk to me,” Eunhyuk stated,

“Well, he’s a little late, I’ve been writing about Eunhae for three years now,” Shindong confessed as they were called back from break.

“I can’t believe you, hyung,” Eunhyuk shook his head. As they approached the others, he caught Heechul’s eye and called him over, “Did you know Shindong writes fanfiction?”

“Of course,” Heechul replied, “Where do you think he gets his Hanchul material? Although, he still refuses to write any sex scenes, despite all the details –”

“– Graphic details –” Shindong interjected with a slight grimace,

“I give him,” Heechul said,

“I may write fanfictions, but there are some things I do not want to know,” Shindong said firmly as they reached the others. He crossed his arms over his chest, “Seriously, all I’m asking is for a little bit of love every now and again.”

Suddenly, Ryeowook walked over and gave him a big hug.
