Apparently I get all my inspiration at 3 in the morning.
Uhm, so here are several drabbles/oneshots I came up with at 3 in the morning (see above). I guess I'll post onto communities in the new year, since I'm SUPPOSEDLY not writing in 2009 anymore. I have the strangest feeling my New Year goals for 2010 are going to fail epically.
All drabbles can be considered PG rating. Three of them have happy endings. Said three have a bit of fluff sticking out of them.

KyuMin: Rumor (#2)
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY I WROTE THIS. But because it's out of my brain, I figure I'll let people see it. Sorry if it makes no sense.
Some KyuMin, YeWook, and YeMin (Or is it SungSung? lol), and I suppose mentionings of KiHae because I couldn't help myself.
Unbeta-ed, as always (I never beta, though I should. It's still readable, though). Sowwy in advance~
Title: Rumor (#2)
Word Count: 1759
Rating: PG? G?
Started/Finished: 12.08.09 / 12.08.09
Music Muse: Super Junior T, "Rokkuguh"
Description: Sometimes, things just happen. He learns soon enough.
SungMin knew he should only believe so much. Rumors were rumors, after all, and it wasn't like there was any proof behind them yet. Besides, when said rumors came from fan-run forums and not from legitimate news sources, their validity was likely nonexistent.
But the media would have stopped caring to include that rumor in their broadcasts, anyway. Fan-service was normal to them by now, and it was surely not something worth reporting after every Super Junior concert performance.
And fan-service is just fan-service, SungMin tried reminding himself. None of it means anything in the end.
SungMin convinced himself this was just a result of jealousy. Why should he care what KyuHyun was doing outside of Korea, anyway? Should he care because the two had shared some close moments before leaving? Or because that man was the only person who appeared in his dreams late at night? Maybe even because KyuHyun stopped calling him every other night like he used to?
He stills thinks about me, SungMin told himself, I know it.
But he couldn't help but to listen to those rumors, and it was perhaps that there were so many depicting the same tale that caused SungMin to worry more than he should. Some of them were even ridiculous; one said that, after KiBum's recent break-up with DongHae, KyuHyun had taken the opportunity to steal the heartbroken man for himself. It was lies, SungMin knew, but when everything on the Internet said the exact same thing....
He knew the rumors were only a result of "fan-service." He knew the truth was just that KyuHyun had given DongHae a kiss on the cheek during one of their performances. It wasn't even like KyuHyun to do something like that -- DongHae, really?
And it wasn't even a real kiss.
So why was he bothered?
When the rumors persisted, SungMin did his best to keep his head high. He forced himself to tune out anything regarding Super Junior M and their endeavors. He refused to sit in front of a computer to use the Internet. As cliche as it seemed, SungMin knew ignorance truly was bliss.
He also tried his best to keep his composure around the others. But apparently, he had failed terribly.
"We're Super Junior Happy, remember?" LeeTeuk reminded him. "It's a little obvious that you're anything but happy."
SungMin nodded, but inside he was shaking his head. He didn't want Super Junior Happy right now. He wanted Super Junior, just Super Junior, where he had a reason to be with KyuHyun.
One day, as SungMin was solemnly eating breakfast in front of the television, a sudden weight decided to seat itself next to him. He frowned at first, knowing it wasn't the person he wanted to be there, and for that reason he remained unresponsive.
A few minutes of silence lingered in the air, save the television in the background. And then, just when SungMin felt like he couldn't take the silence with the unnamed person anymore, the unnamed person spoke.
"SungMin, I know how you feel."
YeSung.
They talked a lot that day, as well as the next day. SungMin realized that YeSung really did know how he felt, with RyeoWook overseas as well. And though YeSung never really described his relationship with that man explicitly, SungMin had the strangest feeling it was quite similar to his relationship with KyuHyun.
When he was around YeSung, his worries over rumors were nonexistent. He was able to talk to YeSung normally, and it had felt good having a clear conscience for once. It had made him realize that those hours worrying over rumors had been pointless, and he knew that if he could keep up the same faith and courage as YeSung did then he would be fine.
But despite these achievements, there was one thing that SungMin was beginning to fear. And that fear was confirmed when one night, in the middle of his dream, KyuHyun's face was no longer what he saw.
SungMin decides to ask YeSung: "Hyung, what does RyeoWook mean to you?"
"You don't know?" the other asked in response.
SungMin shook his head. "I just want to know."
YeSung gave his fair share of questioning looks before replying. "Wookie means a lot to me. To be honest, I don't think he knows how much he means to me. But he's also like a brother to me, someone I care about and should look after."
"I see," was all SungMin said in response. Did he see KyuHyun in that same light? SungMin was sure he did, but he couldn't help but to feel slightly uncertain.
No, it's not supposed to be like this! SungMin yelled inside his head. KyuHyun, not YeSung....
He spent an entire night thinking it over, but it gave him no consolation when by the end of the night he was still empty-handed.
In one of the new songs for Super Junior Happy's next album was an entrance that had SungMin and YeSung singing in perfect harmony. Sometimes, when singing the song, SungMin would forget that the song was actually about a guy chasing a girl he'd met in his dreams. And even though he preferred several other songs on their album over this one, he couldn't deny that he felt his happiest during that duet.
He was absolutely sure it was because the duet sounded good and had nothing to do with the fact that it was with YeSung. But his conscience insisted he was in denial.
One night, SungMin received an unexpected phone call from KyuHyun. Apparently KyuHyun had been incredibly busy, though SungMin was hardly surprised.
"I'm exhausted, Sungminnie," he'd said in a slight accent SungMin knew had been picked up from speaking Mandarin for a little too long. "So many shows, so much practicing. And DongHae isn't helping any."
Suddenly the rumors that had been stashed in the back of SungMin's mind began to resurface. "DongHae? What's he doing to you? Don't tell me those rumors are actually true?"
KyuHyun laughed at this. "What rumors, Minnie?"
"That you and him..." began SungMin through pursed lips. He tried to say the rest of it, but nothing came.
"We're not together or anything," said KyuHyun, laughing once more. "I'm not that cruel, you know. What I meant was that DongHae broke up with KiBum -- or KiBum broke up with him, I guess. With KiBum in America and DongHae in China, I guess the distance wasn't working out. But it's really been quite the damper in his mood, as well as all of ours."
"They broke up...?" SungMin wondered aloud. Somehow, he had been hoping the entire rumor was false, but it seemed they still had their truths in them....
Eventually their conversation came to an end, since KyuHyun had to wake up rather early the next day. The last words KyuHyun had said were "I miss you, hyung. Wait for me, okay?" to which SungMin had replied with "I miss you too."
He had wanted to add a "I love you too," afterwards, but he didn't have the courage to do it. Yet even with that desire, he still couldn't figure out why it was now YeSung's face, not KyuHyun's face, that painted the background of his dreams.
Everything KyuHyun had told him that night had been according to the reality SungMin had tried hard to hold onto. In the end, SungMin had to admit, it was all just pointless worrying.
"What would you do if RyeoWook didn't like you back?" SungMin asked YeSung while on one of their breaks.
The latter only shrugged. "Nothing, I guess. I'd feel hurt, maybe, but nothing would change. If I can't care for him as his lover, I'll care for him as his hyung. I don't think the feelings change much, do you? I think the only thing that changes is the intentions behind those feelings."
"I see," was all SungMin said in response.
Did he see KyuHyun in that same light?
SungMin was sure he did.
But he couldn't help but to feel slightly uncertain.
One night it came to him. Realization swept over him and knocked him over. How could he be this much of a hypocrite?
All that time SungMin had spent worrying about what KyuHyun was doing in China, wondering if KyuHyun's interests were invested elsewhere.... What if KyuHyun was thinking the exact same thing? But what was worse was that KyuHyun actually had a reason to question him, because for some reason SungMin could not get YeSung out of his head.
He wanted KyuHyun. He was sure of it. He didn't know what YeSung was. There was no future there, anyway, not with RyeoWook still around.
No. I have to do this. For KyuHyun's sake.
"Ah, SungMin!" YeSung was calling from a distance -- but SungMin did not turn around. "SungMin, why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?"
It was awfully extreme and SungMin knew it. But with YeSung still inexplicably in his head, it was all he could.
"Mianhae, YeSung."
A few weeks later, the members of Super Junior M returned to Korea, though Henry and Zhou Mi had remained in China. The twelve members had celebrated their reunion, though the emotions present were rather mixed in nature. From DongHae, an overwhelming blanket of sadness, which could not even be lifted by HyukJae's attempts at comic relief. From KyuHyun and SungMin, an awkwardness that really couldn't be explained by anyone except themselves. And from HeeChul, a grouchiness that was merely characteristic.
Being in KyuHyun's presence washed away any doubts he'd had, whether in KyuHyun or in himself. And he knew this had nothing to do with the many gifts from China KyuHyun had kindly showered him with. It was what he had always wanted, back in the past, the current time, and for as long as he could hold onto it in the future. Whether KyuHyun felt the same way didn't matter because he didn't need a label in order to care for someone; YeSung had taught him that.
Perhaps once during that party, SungMin snuck a glance over at the man that had begun to invade his dreams only until a week prior. Maybe one day, when SungMin felt safer and more secure, he would allow himself to open up to that friendship once more, because YeSung really was a nice friend, in the end.
But for now, ignoring YeSung's still desperate and confused gazes as well as the man next to him, SungMin heaved a sigh and turned toward KyuHyun.
"KyuHyun," SungMin said quietly, not really caring if the other man could hear him. "Saranghae."

Slowly I'm trying to write stories involving everyone else. Actually, I'm considering doing the 100 SuJu one-shot challenge thing, but because all the characters are so foreign to me (in terms of portraying them), I've been holding off for now. So I guess all of this is practice :)
Thanks to everyone commenting on my stories! I really appreciate the feedback! And thanks to everyone pressing the like and dislike buttons too, haha. You all have my love.

KyuMin: Reflection (#1)
To counter the sap I just wrote, here's something on the less sappy side. First KyuMin drabble, and of course I would make it slightly saddening (only slightly!). What's wrong with me? (PS: Let me know how much this fails, kay?)
Title: Reflection (#1)

Started/Finished: 12.07.09 / 12.07.09
Music Muse: Yesung & Sungmin, "Now We Go to Meet"
Description: SungMin wonders what it all means to him. If it means anything at all.
KyuHyun was a mystery, perhaps without meaning to.
He wasn't necessarily reserved. Sure, at times the magnae would appear to be deep in thought, and it was during these times that SungMin least wanted to bother him. But more times than not, KyuHyun was dorky and outgoing -- though that award still went to DongHae.
Yet he was still mysterious, and no matter how hard he tried SungMin could never figure him out. It always felt like KyuHyun held in more than what he let on, and that bothered SungMin somewhat -- though maybe it was just our differing personalities, SungMin would always try convincing himself.
SungMin respected KyuHyun's privacy, of course, and he knew that the man was more than welcome to have his own secrets. But sometimes SungMin grew curious, though his curiosity never usually got the best of him. And when it did, it was easy for SungMin to recoil and apologize for his instrusion.
There were some things about KyuHyun that SungMin did want clarified, though. For instance, whenever SungMin asked "What am I to you, KyuHyun-ah?" in his most curious yet serious tone, the other would only say, "You're a good hyung." And as KyuHyun returned to playing StarCraft, SungMin would always wonder if that was really it, if he really meant anything more to him that simply his hyung.
When KyuHyun's mysteries involved him, SungMin was at his worst. When the other man went to bed, SungMin would always remain awake, wondering if KyuHyun's 'Sweet Dreams' meant anything more to him than a simple well-wishing before sleep. He would ponder over the casual arms KyuHyun slung over his shoulder, the occasional gazes SungMin could never understand, and the occasional possessive remarks KyuHyun made around him.
Not knowing was something that did not settle well with SungMin. He wanted to know what he was to that man. And more than anything, he wanted his response to be something more than "You're a good hyung."
But by not telling KyuHyun this, SungMin knew that he in turn was being a hypocrite. He couldn't scold KyuHyun for not letting on something when he himself was keeping things from his friend. No matter how badly SungMin wanted to know, it was only fair.
That was why, when KyuHyun had asked "Hyung, what's the matter?" in the most curious yet serious tone, SungMin forced himself to respond with,
"Ah, KyuHyun-ah, it's nothing."

KiHae: Lottery (#1)
So this is my first KiHae oneshot/drabble/story thing (actually, this is my first SuJu fanfic ever). I'm doing this as part of an unofficial 100-word challenge, so don't hold anything against me if I don't make it to a hundred. =)
Basically, I fell in love with KiHae over the past week, and so I thought I'd have a shot at writing some! So this being said, feedback is especially encouraged! Let me know if I'm doing a good or bad job, if I've got characters portrayed nicely, etc.! (And sorry for the excessive exclamation points....)

Music Muse: Super Junior T, "There's No One Like Me"
Description: How hard is it to pick five winning numbers?
Today was just another one of those quirky days, or at least that was what KiBum was trying to convince himself. The day had started off normally, though, with an innocent trip to the grocery store. Upon arriving at the cashier KiBum realized he'd forgotten the squash Sungmin had asked for, and he quickly ran back to get it. But when he'd come back he found his hyung attempting to buy a lottery ticket, and by the looks of things it was almost as if DongHae had never bought a lottery ticket before in his life.
"Kibummie," began DongHae once he'd realized KiBum's presence, "help me pick some numbers! I can't think of any!"
KiBum sighed. "One, two, three, four, five. There."
"But those won't win you anything!" DongHae whined, turning back to the numbers before him. "I should probably pick thirteen, though... for good luck." Sighing, KiBum circumvented his companion and gave the squash to the person at the cashier, who didn't seem to mind DongHae's indecisiveness despite the people waiting in line behind them. Actually, KiBum was almost certain that the lady only didn't mind because she was too ecstatic over being in close proximity with two members of Super Junior, and that if they were any other customers she'd have told them to hurry their asses up already.
"I should choose ten and fifteen, too," said DongHae thoughtfully. This, of course, was in reference to his birthday, which the man made sure KiBum did not easily forget.
"Why are you buying a lottery ticket?" KiBum asked his friend. "You do well enough without winning the lottery, anyway."
"Because I've never bought one before," replied DongHae with a serious expression upon his face. "Come on, Kibum-ah, don't tell me you've never been the least bit curious about winning?"
"Mathematically, the odds are too small."
DongHae pouted. "Don't be such a spoilsport... and a genius."
"Nothing wrong with being intelligent and realistic," KiBum retorted. But DongHae had returned to his choosing of numbers. KiBum sighed; how hard could picking five numbers be, anyway? And he only needed two more; couldn't he just pick any two and be done with it?
When KiBum voiced these opinions to DongHae, his friend merely laughed. "Yeah, yeah, fine." The shorter boy chose two last random numbers before returning his gaze to the cashier lady. "That's all. And the squash. What's it come out to?"
It had taken the two of them half a minute to pay the lady for their goods, and another half a minute to get her to say "OHMYGOSH CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?!" Now being slightly annoyed that their excursion to the grocery had taken longer than anticipated, KiBum more or less dragged his friend back to their dorms, not once allowing DongHae any time to stop or rest.
"Never again," KiBum muttered under his breath over and over again. "Embarrassment and making other people wait to pay their stuff is not worth a stupid lottery ticket."
"You won't call it stupid when I win the lottery tomorrow!" DongHae yelled from several paces behind.
"You won't win, though," said KiBum.
"You have no faith in me?"
"No," was KiBum's reply, but instantly he regretted it. The arm in his hand suddenly grew resistant, and as the arm was released from his grasp KiBum spun on the spot. His eyes immediately latched upon the hurt expression on DongHae's face, and in an instant he had felt a pang of regret and sorrow, as if he'd just kicked a puppy.
"Ah, hyung, I didn't mean it like that." KiBum attempted a smile, but DongHae gave none in return. Instead the shorter boy strode past KiBum, making the rest of the walk back to the dorms alone. KiBum watched momentarily, but within seconds he found himself jogging after his friend in an effort to catch up and make up.
"I meant your numbers, hyung, not you. Come on, I didn't mean it?" KiBum reached for DongHae's shoulder and turned him around so that they were face to face. "I'm sorry...?"
The expression that was now on DongHae's face, however, was unexpected. "So you think I'll win the lottery tomorrow?" DongHae asked excitedly, positively beaming. But hadn't he been moping seconds before...?
"I thought I told you no?"
Another pout. "Ah, Kibummie, don't tell me you doubt my awesome number-choosing abilities?"
"You picked them randomly!"
"Did not!" DongHae yelled defensively, reaching for the receipt and stuffing it in KiBum's hand. "These numbers will win, just you wait!" And without really saying much else, DongHae took the bag of groceries from KiBum and practically skipped into their building.
KiBum made a notion to follow him inside, but he couldn't help but to wonder what numbers he'd chosen. Rolling his eyes and not expecting much, KiBum unfolded the receipt. Towards the bottom were the numbers DongHae had chosen, and upon reading them his eyes widened in surprise.
(gets bricked for bad ending)
My first KiHae oneshot/drabble, so please tell me how I did! I'm aiming for friendship/impliedromance before actual romance, but I promise one day I'll deliver something better =)
Basically, I fell in love with KiHae over the past week, and so I thought I'd have a shot at writing some! So this being said, feedback is especially encouraged! Let me know if I'm doing a good or bad job, if I've got characters portrayed nicely, etc.! (And sorry for the excessive exclamation points....)

Description: How hard is it to pick five winning numbers?
Lottery
He always knew Lee DongHae was quirky. It didn't take long to discover this, either; after several years together in Super Junior, Kim KiBum could not describe a man who obsessed with fish and aliens as anything other than quirky. But KiBum certainly did not mind, and he chose to instead see it as nothing more than a little flair to DongHae's personality.Today was just another one of those quirky days, or at least that was what KiBum was trying to convince himself. The day had started off normally, though, with an innocent trip to the grocery store. Upon arriving at the cashier KiBum realized he'd forgotten the squash Sungmin had asked for, and he quickly ran back to get it. But when he'd come back he found his hyung attempting to buy a lottery ticket, and by the looks of things it was almost as if DongHae had never bought a lottery ticket before in his life.
"Kibummie," began DongHae once he'd realized KiBum's presence, "help me pick some numbers! I can't think of any!"
KiBum sighed. "One, two, three, four, five. There."
"But those won't win you anything!" DongHae whined, turning back to the numbers before him. "I should probably pick thirteen, though... for good luck." Sighing, KiBum circumvented his companion and gave the squash to the person at the cashier, who didn't seem to mind DongHae's indecisiveness despite the people waiting in line behind them. Actually, KiBum was almost certain that the lady only didn't mind because she was too ecstatic over being in close proximity with two members of Super Junior, and that if they were any other customers she'd have told them to hurry their asses up already.
"I should choose ten and fifteen, too," said DongHae thoughtfully. This, of course, was in reference to his birthday, which the man made sure KiBum did not easily forget.
"Why are you buying a lottery ticket?" KiBum asked his friend. "You do well enough without winning the lottery, anyway."
"Because I've never bought one before," replied DongHae with a serious expression upon his face. "Come on, Kibum-ah, don't tell me you've never been the least bit curious about winning?"
"Mathematically, the odds are too small."
DongHae pouted. "Don't be such a spoilsport... and a genius."
"Nothing wrong with being intelligent and realistic," KiBum retorted. But DongHae had returned to his choosing of numbers. KiBum sighed; how hard could picking five numbers be, anyway? And he only needed two more; couldn't he just pick any two and be done with it?
When KiBum voiced these opinions to DongHae, his friend merely laughed. "Yeah, yeah, fine." The shorter boy chose two last random numbers before returning his gaze to the cashier lady. "That's all. And the squash. What's it come out to?"

Kibum could only stare. A coincidence? No, DongHae knew him well enough. But... why?
13 - The thirteen members of Super Junior, without counting the two belonging to Super Junior M.
15 - The fifteen members that comprised Super Junior's four subgroups. Or maybe just the day DongHae was born.
10 - For October, the month DongHae was born on.
But eight and twenty-one, perhaps what had surprised him the most....
...his birthday?
"Just a coincidence," KiBum found himself saying to no one in particular. "He picked them too fast to mean anything by it... yeah, that's it."
He convinced himself of this fact and blamed the coincidence on DongHae's never ceasing quirkiness. And, as the man had predicted, DongHae did not win the lottery that day. At the least, KiBum was relieved that coincidence did not run too far ahead of itself, but just in case KiBum vowed to never let DongHae buy another lottery ticket again.
In the back of his mind, KiBum really did wonder if DongHae had chosen his birth date intentionally. But thinking about it only hurt him on the inside, and as wishful thoughts resulting from merely looking at his hyung already hurt him enough, he was certain that asking DongHae about it was not worth it.
But while the hassle certainly was not worth the ticket (and nor were the awkward moments that had ensued), KiBum could not deny that the extra time spent alone with DongHae was, in fact, worth a losing lottery ticket.
And that, alone, was enough.
