not just a moment, but forever.

"I am happy when I am on stage. I like that wave of blue. I like the eardrum splitting sounds of loud screams. I like to be able to breathe along with the members. Each and every stage is a good reminiscence and a happy memory."

summary || here he is home, home at last.



The energy courses through his veins, pumping him full of adrenaline. It’s a familiar rush of heat that sends his fingers tingling and his legs itching with the urge to just start dancing right here, right now.

The first step out on the stage is almost too overwhelming for him. The ground is solid, steady, and it’s a comforting contrast to his insides which are shaking and trembling with pure excitement. He can feel the spotlights the moment they step out, the warmth wrapping around him like a comforting blanket.

This is where he belongs, he thinks to himself as he sucks in a deep breath to calm his fluttering heart. This is what he has missed, the past two years marching on the rough gravel and loose dirt carrying a rifle and wearing a hard helmet. The stage is his home, and this is where he always wants to be.

The fans scream, their fanboards illuminated with LED words. He sees his own name covering a vast majority of the audience pens.  This is what he has and will always work hard for.

The music starts up, roaring in his ears and stirring his blood. He feels one of the others on stage with him give him a reassuring, unassuming pat on the back. Ryeowook, or Sungmin, he smiles to himself at the moment a cameraman appears in front of him.
This is his family, the ones he will raise hell to protect.

He begins to dance, and in his mind he sees his own name flashing before his eyes. Here he is not Park Jungsu. Here he is -

이특. The Special One.

He smiles. He has returned.

“Super Junior is not just a moment but forever. We can create the word Forever together.”

a/n: written after watching super junior's comeback with mamacita. it feels incredibly surreal that they are finally back, after two years that have been too long and yet so fast. i cannot imagine how it must have felt for leader to be away from the stage for so long. as a performer, i know how it feels to be torn away from the limelight. this story is just a small tribute to leeteuk for making his return.
