Fairytale As Told by Hyungjun

Bebelab, I know your birthday was a few days ago. I hope I'm not that late yet. This is for you. I know you have a thing for Baby and his cuteness, so here goes.

I do not really like Baby that much (because Kyu will always be the hottest Dabel S for me), but I have to say, he was outstanding in their LOBYA performance. Yey, Baby!!

This was done and thought of on a whim, so expect dozens and dozens of spelling errors, grammar mistakes and a really flawed storyline.

Happy Birthday, Bebe!! I LOBYA, LOBYA, LOBYA!!

It was half past three in the afternoon when a grumpy Hyunjoong arrived at the center. He overslept after the wild and rowdy Music Bank after party. Thus totally forgetting that he promised Hwangbo and his Idol posse that he will help out in Hwangbo's first outreach program that she organized herself.

Jaejoong shot him a distasteful glare. If his sharp and fierce eyes could burn, Hyunjoong swore he would have burn marks every where on his face by now. Jaejoong turned away and went back to cleaning the dinner table.

He d.amn well knew he was at fault and he deserved all the smirks and glares the group gave him.

"Hyung have you no heart?", Jungmin quipped after staring at him from head to foot. "Or maybe no brain at all?"

"Yah!! Watch your mouth!", he protested, "Besides, I'll help you clean in a minute.."

"It's not that, Hyung..", Youngsaeng butted in, "She was looking forward to you being here more than us or TOP or the DBSK boys.."

"Think about it, Hyung. She needed your support on this more than ours, but you came in late and grumpy.", Kyujong said, tapping his stubborn Hyung's back.

"Yah!! You should not be nice to him. He's an inconsiderate b.astard...", Jungmin's voice rose, his face turning fiery red as Kyujong and Youngsaeng ushered him away from Hyunjoong.

Hyunjoong was shocked at Jungmin's display. He knew when he started dating Hwangbo that his members also fell for her because she was after all the perfect sister-in-law for them, but he never expected something like that from Jungmin. Jungmin always teased and joked about Hwangbo's age or her skin color. Hell, he even criticized her cooking and dishes every now and then.

He entered the room where he knew there'd be neutral ground. Changmin and Hyungjun were chasing the orphans around trying to get them to take their afternoon nap. Both maknaes shot him a hateful look, but there was really nothing they could do because he was still their Hyung.

"Ahjussi, tell us a story, so that we can sleep...", a little girl tugged on Hyungjun's shirt.

"Yeah Ahjussi, Hwangbo Noona always tells us a story before we take a nap..", another boy said.

"Yes AHJUSSI.. Hwangbo NOONA tells them a story before they take a nap", Changmin teased Hyungjun by emphasizing on the words.

"Arrasso.. But what story does Noona usually tell you?", he was feeling uneasy.

'What am I supposed to tell these kids? My Starcraft stories?', he asked himself.

"Fairytales.. She always tells us stories about a Princess and a Prince", the little girl replied.

This time Hyunjoong slumped on the big sofa inside the room scaring some of the kids who were still playing and running around. Hyungjun glared at him again. He hated it when his Hyung turned into an inconsiderate b.astard when he's sleepy and grumpy.

"I know a story..", he said his gaze still fixed on Hyunjoong. "It's about a beautiful fairy princess named Estella and a heartless prince turned statue named Raphael."

Hyunjoong looked at Hyungjun in the eye, but the maknae refused to back down.

"Gather round kids... Hyungjun Ahjussi has a story...", Changmin said, a playful smile pasted on his face.

When all the kids were sitting on the floor surrounding Hyungjun, he started his fairytale.

"Once upon a time in a far away land called Ssangchu..", imitating the way his Hyung mispronounced Lettuce, "There was a handsome prince who was adored by every woman in his kingdom"

"How handsome?", a little girl asked.

"He was tall, his face was very angelic, he had the most handsome smile in all of Lettuce land. Not only that, he can sing and dance and he had a 4D brain that cracked people up..", clearly describing his Hyung. Hyunjoong smiled at the description, feeling mighty proud of himself.

The smile on his face faded when Hyungjun continued: "But the Prince Raphael was grumpy and he disregarded the people around him who loved him dearly."

"One day he woke up grumpy and rude from his 16 hour sleep, he thrashed at the old sick gardener for not trimming his lawn, he turned his breakfast table upside down and wasted his breakfast because his egg was not boiled longer, he sent his handmaiden to prison for not ironing his shirt well. He was mean to everyone in the kingdom. He kicked his horses and beat them with a whip."

"Mal fairy Godmother heard about him, so she came down from heaven to see Prince Raphael. She disguised herself as an old sick horse that got lost in Lettuce land."

"She knocked on Raphael's Palace Gates to beg for food and medicine.."

"Raphael's kinsman opened the gate and took in the sick horse, but when Raphael saw what was happening, he kicked out the horse and sent his kinsman to prison.."

"Mal fairy Godmother was enraged, so she transformed back to a beautiful unicorn."

"Raphael was surprised, he tried to beg for mercy, but Mal fairy Godmother already made up her mind. She transformed him to a walking statue and kicked him out of his palace.. She said he can only return when he learns to love and be kind and be compassionate to others."

"He wandered for days and days in the dark forest. He had no food, no water, and every creature laughed at him for being a walking statue."

"He was ashamed of his form and appearance. He could not speak, and he was white all over. He had only one expression and he could not feel anything other than pain and shame. "

"He tried to cry, but there were no tears that came out from his cement eyes. He was being punished and he realized that now." Hyungjun glanced sideways to check if his Hyung was still looking at him. Hyunjoong was listening intently to the story, like all the children there.

"A beautiful fairy princess came to the forest one day to visit her friends. Her name was Estella, she was kind hearted and loved by many not only because of her outer beauty but also because of her heart. She made others laugh when they were sad. She cooked the most delicious foods for those who are hungry. She made friends with everyone even those who were rude to her.", Hyungjun and Changmin smiled, probably picturing their Noona.

"Many Gods and Princes have come to ask for her hand in marriage, but she refused them all because she has not found her true love. Instead, she befriended all of them."

"Gods? Which Gods?", a toddler asked.

"Like the God of dance, Yunnie, the Handsome prince Micky, the strong God named Marco", Changmin added after sneaking a glance at Yunho, Micky and Hwangbo laughing boisterously inside the kitchen while they were washing the dishes.

Hyunjoong followed Changmin's gaze. His blood boiled seeing her with the two DBSK boys-even if Micky was his close friend. He wanted to get up, but he could not pick a fight with those two, not with the children around.

Hyungjun continued his story: "While Estella walked through the bushes, selecting wild berries for her pie, she found the statue slumped on the corner looking grim and sad. Although he was made of cement and mud, Estella could feel his sadness and loneliness. She picked him up and wiped the smudges on his expressionless face. She cooked him delicious food and gave him water to drink. She was so different from him when he was a prince. She never ordered anyone around and never shouted. She had a kind smile and an even kinder heart."

"Days passed by, and Raphael grew more fond of her. One day while he accompanied her to the forest where she visited her cute rabbit friends, named Hyungjun and Changmin, he felt a thump in his chest as he watched her talking with them. It was like his heart grew back."

"The more he grew close to her, the more his heart thumped. 'Was he falling in love with her?', Raphael asked himself."

The little girls giggled and gushed.

"He was indeed falling in love with the beautiful Estella, but he could do nothing nor tell her anything because he could not speak and severely punished by Mal fairy Godmother"

"One night, while Raphael sat under the pale moonlight, Mal fairy Godmother appeared before him. 'Have you learned your lesson yet?', she asked when she noticed his pain and suffering. 'I have..', he replied sadly, 'I should be kind and compassionate to others. I should treat them with respect and honor my promises and words.'"

"I thought Raphael could not speak..", a little boy asked.

"Well, Mal fairy Godmother can hear his thoughts", Hyungjun answered in the most childish way.

"Mal fairy Godmother smiled at him. 'Can you give me one more chance?', he asked, 'I promise I will change. I need to go to Estella and tell her I love her..'"

"Mal fairy Godmother agreed, but she had a warning..", Hyungjun paused as he saw someone breezing in from the door with some other tall, strong looking men.

"'What is it?', Raphael asked."

"'The Rains will come and take her away, so you better be fast before she falls in love with the Rain God...', Horse fairy Godmother said"

Hyunjoong was confused, 'Why will the rains take her away? And who is the Rain God?'

Just then a smiling face peeked inside the room. "Annyeong...", Jihun suddenly burst in.

"The Rain God...", a little girl shrieked happily as some girls gushed while others blushed.

'The Rains will come and take her away', Hyungjun's words resonated inside Hyunjoong's head.

"So, you better be fast before she falls in love with the Rain God...", Changmin said again as he sat beside Hyunjoong.

"Andwe!!", Hyunjoong shouted. He stood up and left the room leaving, shocking everyone except Changmin and Hyungjun who started to snicker.

He went straight to the kitchen where Hwangbo was alone drying off the plates and pots.

He hugged her from behind, "I'm sorry, Buin. I should have come earlier. I should have helped you. I should have showed you that I support you all the way..."

Hwangbo faced Hyunjoong and returned his hug. "Yeah, you should do all those next time. So, what's wrong? Why the sudden realization?"

Hyunjoong sighed, "The Rain God might take Estella away from Raphael..."

Hwangbo loosened her embrace, then stared at Hyunjoong's face, "Are you still drunk from last night, Shillang?"

Hyungjun and Changmin together with the children peeked through the screen doors, "And so, Estella and Raphael lived happily ever after...."
