16 Donghae stared at the bouquet of red roses on his friend’s hand and a Nemo plushy on the red-haired’s arm. He repeatedly averted his gaze to the things and to the one holding it, blinking his eyes when the other blushed.
“What are… those?” he asked.
“Red roses and a stuffed toy?” the taller man hesitatingly answered; this is the first time he had done something like this, so it really is awkward for him, not to mention the weird stares Donghae is throwing at him.
Slowly, Donghae took those, biting his lips to prevent himself from grinning, “I know, but Hyukkie, this is… I’m not a girl…” the younger mumbled, his cheeks painted in light pink.
The red-haired chuckled whilst he palmed his nape, “I know, but that’s-”
“That’s what Sungmin told you?”
He opened his mouth to protest, only to close it again since what the other said is true. Is he being too obvious?
“I knew it,” Donghae said as he chuckled, not a hint of annoyance or anything negative sensed on his voice. “So, uhm, what does this mean?”
Shyness overtaking him, Hyukjae avoided Donghae’s stares and mumbled, “You know it already…”
“Of course I want to hear it straight from you,” the brunet challenged.
“I… I like you…” the red head barely whispered.
“What?” of course, Donghae didn’t hear it.
“SBSJKBHFBSABGHRTUGBSGFBKJ”
“What the hell, Hyuk.” Donghae coldly remarked, totally not finding Hyukjae’s incoherent words amusing.
“Gee, I like you, Lee Donghae, okay?! I like you! I fucking like you, and I think have been loving you ever since!” Hyukjae yelled with his eyes tightly shut, his whole face turning beet red.
“See? It’s not that hard to say, right?”
Hyukjae sighed and tried to calm himself, fanning his face due to the heat he feels there.
“Look at me, Hyukkie,” He did as what he was told, only for his heart to melt at the sight of Donghae’s beautiful face. He’s not as beautiful as Sungmin, but the childishness and innocence on Donghae’s face could make someone’s heart flutter. He had been thinking like that since they were kids but he just admitted that recently.
Donghae flashed a bright smile at his best friend, his eyes sparkling in happiness and love, “Thanks for finally confessing, though it took you so long,” However, Donghae’s face slightly fell, “But, I don’t think I’m in for a relationship with you right now. I’m still not over the things that happened, and I don’t want-”
“Hae, Hae. It’s okay,” Hyukjae said as he clutched the smaller guy’s shoulders to stop the other from babbling, “I knew that you would say that, and I accept it. I… I know I’ve been such a fool for hurting you because of me hiding my feelings for you… so I am willing to wait until you are ready to accept me into your life not just as your best friend, but also as your lover…”
“…I want you to be happy.”
Donghae wanted to cry at what Hyukjae said. As much as he wanted to be in a relationship with him, his heart is still not ready for it. He is still hurt.
And then, he remembered what Sungmin said to him yesterday.
“Don’t be too kind on Hyukjae, okay? Make it hard for him~”
Cunning little bunny.
"Thank you, monkey."
Hyukjae beamed at that, only for his smile turn to something mischievous, "Just make sure that we aren't around Kyuhyun and Sungmin when they do PDA..."
The brunet cocked an eyebrow, his neck craned slightly, "Why?"
"I will get envious and I might jump on you." Donghae's eyes widened, eliciting a hearty laugh from the older.
______________________________________________
"For this year's Salutatorian, Lee Sungmin!"
Loud claps roared inside the place where the graduation is being held as Sungmin, all bright and beaming, climbed up the stage with his father following suit, the black-haired chuckling when he saw his friends standing and whistling for him. He pulled off his best smile while his father put his medal on him, whispering, "I'm glad you graduated with honors. I expect that you already changed." Of course he knows what his father meant. This old man is hopeless..
He just grinned at his father confidently. Hell yeah, I changed a lot, thank you very much.
Normally, he would get depressed because of that, but thinking that it is his graduation day, he shouldn't let anything ruin his day. So, he chose not to exchange words with his dad as they walk down the stage.
He looked around the place before taking his seat, his heart jumping in happiness when he caught sight of that one person smiling at him, that genuine smile that tells him that he is proud of him.
~~~~
"KYU!!!!!!!!!!" He squealed as he jumped on his lover, who gladly took him in his arms and spinned him, a wide grin plastered on his face.
"Congratulations, baby." Kyuhyun said after giving Sungmin's plump lips a peck, chuckling when the other blushed furiously at his simple action.
"Are you proud of me?" Sungmin asked his boyfriend as if she is a high school girl flirting with a hot guy.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I? You graduated Salutatorian and you passed Kyunghee University. This calls for a celebration."
Sungmin giddily hugged the taller, giggling when Kyuhyun pinched his cheek. "We already celebrated for that, right?" The brunet chuckled shortly, whispering huskily, "I meant a different kind of celebration. You know, the proper one..."
The smaller blushed as flashbacks of that hot night they shared after he received that letter from Kyunghee that he is accepted to study there crossed his mind. He swore that Kyuhyun is very aggressive that night. Because of happiness, perhaps?
"Ehem."
A faint cough from behind them made the couple back away from each other, Kyuhyun's eyes widening when he saw Sungjin with his parents. Sungjin is grinning, while the adults aren't. Now this is what you call facing the future in-laws for the first time.
"Who is he, Minnie?" The woman clad in blue corporate attire gently spoke, her eyes curving the same way as Sungmin's do when they're smiling.
Sungmin glanced at Kyuhyun, trying if telepathy would work on them because he wants to tell his not-so-obvious nervous boyfriend that everything is alright. Smiling, he grabbed Kyuhyun's hand, which is amusingly cold, and pulled him closer before facing his family, "He is Cho Kyuhyun," Kyuhyun looked at Sungmin, his chest tightening for he is actually holding his breath. "My boyfriend."
Despite the fear of rejection from Sungmin's parents overtaking him, Kyuhyun felt relieved; Sungmin just told his parents that he is his boyfriend! Oh well, knowing Sungmin...
"Oh, hello there, Kyuhyun-ah," Sungmin's mother smiled and extended an arm for a handshake directed to Kyuhyun, which the latter nervously accepted. Sungmin's father, on the other hand, remained making a blank face, though disappointment is clear on his eyes. Seeing how his wife and youngest son acted at the news, he'd rather not react negatively so as not to ruin the happy atmosphere. After all, he saw the changes on his first son despite his sexual preference.
"Take care of my baby Minnie, okay, Kyuhyunnie?" Sungmin's eyes widened, scandalized, "Umma! I'm not a baby anymore!" he whined to his mother, making Kyuhyun laugh. "I will, Mrs. Lee. Though your baby is quite a handful..." it earned him a hard spank on his arm from the smaller man.
"Call me umma, hm?" the old lady said, with Sungmin and Sungjin smile at their mother. Kyuhyun beamed and nodded shyly.
"Kyuhyun-ah, I've been wanting to ask you this, but... is Sungmin-hyung noisy in bed?" Sungjin asked, laughing hard because Sungmin sharply gasped, while Kyuhyun's ears turned red. It amused him more when he heard his father groan and saw the older turning to walk away, with Mrs. Lee giggling before following her husband.
Frowning, Sungmin pushed his brother, never letting go as he muttered, "Don't ask irrational things just because your beloved Jongjin-hyungie is not here."
"Hyung!!!!" the younger Lee shrieked, tilting his head to face his brother, blushing at the mention of his crush. His feelings never went over the infatuation level, fortunately - in Sungjin's opinion.
"Oh come on, you cute loverboy. Just follow umma and appa cos we'll still meet up with my friends." the older Lee teased his dongsaeng as he completely pushed the younger towards their parents.
He kind of expected it when he felt heavy pressure on his back, his guess on who this bastard is confirmed because of the guy's squeals.
"Hi, Sungmiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn~~~~!!!" So, yeah, it is obviously Lee Donghae.
"Hi, Hae. You're pretty heavy, you know."
Donghae sheepishly grinned at the older before skipping away from him, but then held Sungmin's wrist, "Let's go to the stage and take pictures there! Of course we have to have a picture with our salutatorian, right?"
Sungmin nodded and held the younger's wrist to pull him, only to be halted by someone who grabbed Donghae's other wrist.
"You seemed to be forgetting something..." Donghae raised an eyebrow at that, especially when his best friend spread his arms wide with his gummy grin, "Me!!!" Hyukjae just ignored Sungmin's scowls.
To Donghae's surprise, Hyukjae narrowed his eyes at him, "What's your name again?"
Donghae blinked. "What?"
But then, the red-haired grinned, "Can I call you mine?"
Sungmin groaned loudly as he rolled his eyes before letting go of the blushing Donghae's wrist to walk away, with Kyuhyun laughing while he ran beside his boyfriend, slinging an arm around the smaller male's neck.
"Yes," Donghae whispered after the couple was out of hearing range. Since Hyukjae didn't catch it, he hummed while he leaned his face closer to Donghae's, not noticing the shade of red painting the other's face. "What is it, Hae?"
"Yes, you can call me 'mine'..."
Hyukjae's eyes widened like saucers at what he heard, his heart flipping inside his chest. "R-Really?"
Donghae nodded.
"D-Does that mean that we're finally dating?"
Another nod.
"YES!!!!!!" Hyukjae shouted, catching the others' attention, even Sungmin and Kyuhyun's, who are smiling at their happy friend. Hyukjae screamed while he ran around the place, throwing his fist on the air as he passed thru their classmates, who all shouted with him.
He ran towards his family and instantly carried his sister, Sora, spinning her whilst he announced the good news. Well, he had been waiting for Donghae for five months now.
Donghae covered his face in embarrassment because their batchmates are now congratulating him, but when he saw Siwon standing on a corner, smiling at him, mouthing a 'Congratulations', he ran to his former roommate and jumped on him like a kid.
"Finally," Sungmin muttered as he watched Hyukjae run around the place, placing his head on his tall boyfriend's shoulder. Actually, Hyukjae and Donghae's love story are much more dramatic than his with Kyuhyun, so he is happy for his friends, especially for his brother.
"Minnie-hyung," Sungmin doesn't have to turn to know the owner of that voice. That surely belongs to Henry. With a bright grin, he faced his dongsaeng, who is giving him his cute smile, making him resist the urge to abuse this boy's cheeks.
"Hi, Henli!" as he saw who is with Henry, his smile turned to a polite and awkward one, "Oh, hello Zhoumi." He had settled things with Kyuhyun regarding Zhoumi already, but he just can't wash the awkwardness he feels towards the Chinese.
"Congratulations, hyuuunggg! I knew you'd make it!" Henry said as he hugged Sungmin, with the latter chuckling at his dongsaeng, pulling away afterwards.
"Thanks. This isn't possible if it weren't for my nerdy boyfriend who nags at me all the time for me to study..." he lightly glared at his lover, who just grinned at him.
"Oh, hyung, we've got to go now. I'm still meeting Mimi gege's parents!" Henry announced, scrunching his forehead when Zhoumi pinched his cheek. Sungmin and Kyuhyun nodded, with Zhoumi and Henry waving their hands enthusiastically as they run.
"Are they together?" the black-haired asked his boyfriend, who gave him a skeptic look, "I told you that, right? Geez, you are not listening..."
Sungmin giggled and wrapped his arms on Kyuhyun's biceps, changing their topic, "When will you introduce me to your family?"
"We can go there now, if you want to."
"NOW?! Are you kidding me?!"
"They already know about us."
"Why didn't you tell me-"
Sungmin was interrupted by a deep kiss on his lips, not minding if they are in a public place... on a stage.
EPILOGUE
Kyuhyun yawned while making his way to the door. Hell, it is 3 in the morning! He swore he will punch the face of the person who woke him up.
However, it revealed a drunken Sungmin who was sitting on the floor, in front of the door. He is drunk again?! Oh well, it is not Sungmin if he goes home sober.
He crouched to level his face with a singing Sungmin but hastily moved away because of the scent of the alcohol coming from the older, "Eww hyung, you smell bad..." Sungmin chuckled while his dongsaeng helped him get up, "Blame that Eunhyuk. He smells bad."
"Aish, let me just help you get up." he moved to carry Sungmin bridal style - that is easier, actually, since Sungmin is drunk. He drank with Hyukjae and the guys again. They do that almost every night since he got to college. Fortunately, he managed to enter Kyunghee University and be in the same university with his boyfriend. Hyukjae and Donghae studied on the same university, but not the same as theirs. Reasoning that Kyunghee are for nerds like you. Well, at least he is with his Sungmin.
He placed Sungmin on the couch. The drunken guy kept on singing 'Because of Love'. Kyuhyun can't help but smile, though Sungmin sings it off tune right now and the lyrics are mixed up. It is their song - they sang it on a contest back in high school and that was the start of their good friendship.
When Sungmin stopped singing, that's when Kyuhyun realized that he is already knocked out. He took this chance. He placed one knee on the edge of the couch, crouched and stared at Sungmin's worn out but beautiful face - that face that never failed to make his heart beat fast. He gently brushed away the hair that blocks his sight of that beautiful eyes under the lids. He caressed the guy's soft cheeks. Using his finger, he traced Sungmin's lids, nose, til his lips - that lips that made him fall for him.
He wants to taste it.
He wants to kiss it.
He misses his hyung. They were too busy with school that even though they are roommates, they barely interact with each other. Kyuhyun hates it.
He slowly leaned his face closer but when their lips are just an inch closer, Sungmin's hand covered Kyuhyun's lips. Kyuhyun frowned and saw Sungmin glaring at him.
"No, Kyu." The younger removed his hyung's soft hands on his mouth, "But hyung..."
"No." Tears on the verge of falling. Kyuhyun kneeled on the couch, Sungmin's legs in between, trapping the older in his arms and looked straight to his hyung's creepily emotionless, "Why, hyung? What is happening to you? What is happening to us?"
The other didn't answer. He just looked at his side. He doesn't have an answer to that question.
At this, the tears that have been threatening to fall earlier, went out and passed Kyuhyun's cheeks, dropping on Sungmin's cheeks. "You know that I-"
"I'm tired, Kyu." Sungmin gently pushed Kyuhyun to make him stand up, not even looking at the crying lad. "Good night, Kyu." He went straight to his room without a word, leaving a hurt Kyuhyun whose body instantly fell on the floor.
He curled up on the floor, sobbing his heart out. Just like that? Sungmin's love for him had already dissipated just like that? They are separated for two years, but they still make sure that they meet thrice a week and call every night. Now that they live under the same roof, shouldn't they love each other more?
Suddenly, the door to their room opened, with Sungmin running out from there and kneeling in front of Kyuhyun, cupping the younger's cheeks, worry all over his face, "Oh my god, I'm sorry, baby!!! It was just a joke!!!! I'm sorry, baby!!! I thought you would get mad at me for coming home late so I did that to avoid an argument, but... shit, please don't cry!!! I'm sorry!!!!" he said as he hugged his boyfriend tight, his thumb wiping Kyuhyun's hot tears.
"I thought you don't love me anymore..." Kyuhyun cried on Sungmin's chest.
"Ssh... of course not! I love you! You're the only one I love! I'm really sorry! I won't do it again! This prank is Hyukjae's idea... I didn't know you would take this seriously... god, I'm sorry, baby..."
"Promise me that you won't leave me..."
"I won't... I won't. I love you, okay?" Sungmin moved away and looked deeply at Kyuhyun's teary orbs, placing light kisses on the younger's lids before kissing him on the lips, which Kyuhyun gladly returned with the same passion, his chest feeling light now that he heard it straight from Sungmin's lips.
They pulled away, with Sungmin smiling, "Happy birthday, my Kyuhyunnie."
Kyuhyun chuckled before giving Sungmin's swollen lips a peck, "Thank you, my Minimi," Minimi is his nickname for Sungmin. "But the naughty bunny needs to be punished for playing a prank on his master..."
Sungmin smirked and wrapped his arms around Kyuhyun's neck, whispering huskily, "Then, punish your bunny hard and rough..."
"Fine." Kyuhyun then carried Sungmin to their room.
