Chapter 29 - The Boy is Mine

You need to give it up

Had about enough

It's not hard to see

The boy is mine

I'm sorry that you seem to be confused

He belongs to me

The boy is mine...

LEE DONGHAE

"Can I call you daddy?"

Aiden's question struck me.

I was carrying him while the three of us were heading inside Sharp Star City Apartment towards our dorm. Aiden wrapped his arms around my neck and smiled at Althea.

"Why, do you me to become your daddy?" I asked him.

"Of course!" he replied cheerfully. I heard Althea chuckle behind us.

Chapter 28 - Sunshine

Sunshine through my window

That's what you are

My shining star

Making me feel like I'm top of the world

Telling me that I'd go far

ALTHEA RYZ FAJARDO

It's good to see him again.

I already planned our meeting but I never thought it would be this way. I never expected him to meet our son at the concert. And I've never imagined meeting him again at the backstage carrying Aiden.

Things do happen when you least expect them.

Chapter 27 - A Little More Time on You

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep

Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep

Why I look into your eyes I know that it's true

God must have spent a little more time on you

LEE DONGHAE

Althea...

I froze. I didn't know what to do. Leeteuk moved towards her and shook her hand.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you. You son Aiden is very talented."

Chapter 26 - Find Me

Find me here in your arms

Now I'm wondering where you've always been

Blindly, I came to you

Knowing you'd breathe new life from within

LEE DONGHAE

SUPER SHOW 11 THE ULTIMATE SUPER SHOW

The day, not only all of us, but especially all the ELF in the world waited for so long - our ultimate comeback. This time all of us, 15 members, are back together for this dream concert.

Chapter 24 - Thank You, Mom

You were my mom, you were my dad
The only thing I only had was you, it's true
And even when the times got hard
you were there to let us know that we'd get through
you taught me how to understand the things people do
And I thank you, I'll always thank you
More than you would know, more than I could show

ALTHEA RYZ FAJARDO

It has been a month.

Everything is still fresh on my mind. His face, his smile, even his scent. I couldn't forget him.

Chapter 23 - I Love You, Goodbye

Leaving someone when you love someone

Is the hardest thing to do

When you love someone as much as I love you

No, I don't wanna leave you

Baby, it tears me up inside

But I'll never be the one you needed

I love you, goodbye...

ALTHEA RYZ FAJARDO

Uh-oh.

I gave him the look and pulled the door to close it, yet Donghae was stronger than me. He pulled the door open and went inside. He smirked and went close to me.

"Seriously?" I asked. 

Chapter 21 - Distance

I give you everything I am

All my broken heartbeats

Until I know you'll understand

And I will make sure to keep my distance

Say I love you when you're not listening

How long can we keep this up?

LEE DONGHAE

Knock! Knock!

"Wait a minute!" I heard Althea's voice behind the door. A few minutes later, the door swung open and Althea came out.

Chapter 16 - Moving Closer

Inch by inch we're moving closer

Feels like a fairytale ending...

Take my heart, this is the moment

I'm moving closer to you...

ALTHEA RYZ FAJARDO

Shopping for SJ members' gifts? Not a bad idea at all!

I agreed to Donghae's favor to go with him shopping. It was a good idea since I didn't have anything to do this time. We went to the Royal Promenade, which is the mall of the ship where everything one needs can be found.

Chapter 15 - Especially for You

Especially for you...

I wanna let you know what I was going through

All the time we were apart I thought of you

You were in my heart

My love never changed

I still feel the same...

LEE DONGHAE

That should be me.

It was already four in the afternoon when we came back to the ship after the excursion. I hated myself for not being Althea's partner. I envy how Kevin seemed to enjoy her company. I envy their private talks. I envy them being together throughout the excursion like a real couple.

Chapter 11 - Supposed

In my eyes I'm screaming for the sight of you...
And tonight I'm dreaming of all the things that we've been through...
And I can't hold on to you...
So I guess I'll be lonely too...

LEE DONGHAE

"What are you do-"

I kissed her. I kissed Althea. I was not sure about what really happened. All I know was that I needed her. I felt her soft lips and didn't want to let go but she broke the kiss and pushed me.

"What are you doing?!" she asked. She looked shocked and angry. 

"I like you, Althea," I told her.

Chapter 10 - Could Be Wrong

If I could hold your hand, look into your eyes...

Would you try to understand the things I'm gonna say?

If I could show you how much I feel for you...

Would you turn around and tell me you feel the same way too?

Could be wrong you know, coming out the blue...

I really have to say this

Baby, I love you...

ALTHEA RYZ FAJARDO

"If you're going to sleep then I'll sleep with you."

Those were Donghae's words that made me go crazy. "What?!" was all I could say.

He laughed at my response. "That was scary," he said.

"You are making fun of me huh?" I said, pouting. His facial expression changed to worry.

"Are you angry?" he asked. "I just didn't want you to leave. I'm sorry..."

He really is a child. The Donghae I knew two years ago - innocent, childish and cute - is the one facing me right now. I laughed looking at his expression.

Chapter 9 - Falling

Will you stay or will you go...

Heaven knows what my future holds...

Questions linger on my mind...

From daybreak til dark of night...

I don't know what's come over me...

Can't you see that I'm falling...

Girl, I'm falling for you...

LEE DONGHAE

"I told you to trust me, right?"


Althea blushed after hearing what I said. She really looked cute. She tried to stand up on her own and let go of my hug. I laughed at her attempt to break free but fail as she keeps on falling.


"Hey, relax..." I told her. "If you keep on struggling, you won't learn for sure." I held out both my hands for her to hold on to. She held them and supported her weight. "Try to fall on your own..."

Chapter 6 - Every Little Thing

MYMP - Every Little Thing He Does is Magic

"Every little thing he does is magic...
Every thing he does just turns me on...
Even though my love before was tragic...
Now I know my love for him goes on..."

ALTHEA RYZ FAJARDO

I.am.dead.


Totally dead.


My greatest dream has come true but it turned into my worst nightmare. I wanted to meet Donghae badly but I never wanted to be embarrassed in front of him! He was right there in front of me, laughing so hard at my stupidity. 


I felt my face burn as I tried so hard to not to show how red my face was. He kept laughing for like 5 minutes until he finally got back to his senses.


"Oh, I'm so sorry," he said, still catching his breath. "I've never really met someone who literally thought of me as a fish. I am so amazed."

Chapter 5 - Sweet Serendipity

Lee DeWyze - Sweet Serendipity

"And I'm doing just fine, I'm landing on my feet...

In the nic of time and by the skin of my teeth...

I ain't gonna stress cause the worst ain't happened yet...

Something's watching over me like sweet serendipity..."

LEE DONGHAE

I was having a shower when I heard a knock on my door. I just came back from the Loterie Treetop Adventure Tour. It was like an adventure camp wherein I tried series of zip lines, rope swings and bridges suspended from platforms mounted in forest trees. It was very fun although I was honestly scared at first. I finished the tour for three hours and decided to go back to the ship to freshen up. When I arrived, miss drunk had left already. She arranged my things and left my room tidy. I was moved by that gesture. I knew she's not a bad person at all. 

Chapter 4 - Stunned

Adele - Chasing Pavements

"Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements...

even if it leads nowhere?

Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place...

Should I leave it there?"

ALTHEA RYZ FAJARDO

I woke up in an unknown cabin. My head hurts so much. I tried to remember what happened last night. I could recall that I went to the bar and bought some drinks. I know I got drunk last night. But now, I'm wondering where I am. I felt that something's different with me and then I realized I'm wearing a different shirt! It's a guy's shirt for sure! My heart raced fast and many things popped up my head.

"What really happened to me?" I thought.

I looked around and saw breakfast served on the bedside table. And there was a note.

"Good morning! Before you leave my room, make sure to eat your breakfast. I also left the medicine for your hangover. I already brought the keys so you can just lock the door if you leave. I already sent your shirt soaked with sweat to the laundry so you can visit me to get it."

There was no name on the note. Who the hell is this person?!

Chapter 3 - Confusion

02 Nine Days - Absolutely (Story of a Girl)

"This is a story of a girl...

who cried a river and drowned the whole world...

when she looks so sad in photographs...

I absolutely love her...

when she smiles..."

LEE DONGHAE

The ship departed Charlotte Amalie port at 6pm. I had so much fun in the excursions that I chose. I made new friends and tried so many things. I tried helmet diving, skyride and the island tour. I never thought I would be able to try them in my life. I thought I would be stuck in show business and never be able to do things on my own. I am happy that now I'm here.

I stayed at my room after I arrived back from the excursions. Even though I had so much fun today, I knew it would be better if other Super Junior members were with me. I checked my phone for any messages or missed calls. I got 3 messages.
