When Donghae joined the group, everyone thought he was a little odd. If Ryeowook hadn’t come along and trumped the latter’s youthfulness with his innocence, then perhaps Donghae would have been called eternal magnae instead. For it was one thing for a child to believe in, and in fact be deathly afraid of, aliens; it was quite another when the scared party was an adult.

It didn’t help anyone’s perception of him when he tried to make the all wear foil hats, and hide in closets with him because god forbid any blood-sucking life-taking aliens find any of his new-found friends. There was only one person who found this habit of his not abnormal – not normal either, but who said normal was good? Thus, Shindong often found himself holding an armful of whimpering man late at night as the younger wept out his nightmares and fears onto the older’s chest.

Something had to be done, because although Shindong is a caring man, everyone needs sleep. Thus, Eeteuk, being the loving omma, took matters into his own hands and told Donghae a story about aliens and stars, and how stars always, always, always triumphed over those nasty aliens. So all Donghae had to do was find a star to love. Donghae was perplexed at first, but soon found a star in the quiet, withdrawn Kim Ki Bum. However, he soon realized that stars only work if they lover you back, and thus, he was soon clingly to Shindong in the dead of night once more.

Shindong had paid close attention to his donsaengs emotions, and decided that they was a better way to help the younger. A simple story of faeries and lust was soon enough of a distraction, but what Shindong hadn’t counted on was the he would be Donghae’s magic fairy, as the nightly comfort turned into nightly lust, and sated desires led them both into dreamless sleep.
