Hyukjae's Frustration (Part 2 of 1st Meeting)
Summary: “Hmmm…” said Junsu as he thought deeply about what was just said. “Hyukkie, have you ever thought that its not that you’ve forgotten someone but that you just can’t get that person out of your head?”....
When he finally got closer he saw the boys face and it was like a thousand different things automatically clicked in his mind. This was the face, the person that he had forgotten, no that was stuck in his head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the very light out when Hyukjae opened his eyes, Hyukjae grunted in frustration. For the past couple of days he had been going to sleep early only to wake up hours later with the feeling that he had only slept five minutes and that he was forgetting something.
He sat up from his bed trying to remember what he was forgetting, he was sure it wasn’t an object because he had gone through all his things the nights before making sure he had everything, he even called his best friend Junsu, to ask him for all the things he had borrowed from him. Hyukjae was 90% sure it was a person he was forgetting but who could it be? Frustrated Hyukjae decided to spend his time wisely, he had plans later to go down to the office and practice their dance moves, so he spent the rest of the morning choreographing a new routine.
~~
“What’s up with you Hyukkie?” asked Junsu with a serious expression on their way to the dance room. “You don’t seem … something bothering you?”
“No. Just haven’t gotten enough sleep lately”. He answered not bothering to look at his friend, he knew if he did he would know that something was in fact bothering him.
“Umm…not being naughty are you, you should really cut down on the porn if it’s cutting into your sleep time Hyukkie.” Said Junsu with a chuckle as he walked past his friend as to avoid his reaction.
“Ya Junsu!” he said as he half-heartily laughed and threw a punch in his direction. Hyuk was too tired to really react.
“I was just kidding Hyukkie, common tell me what’s bothering you, maybe I can help.”
‘I guess it couldn’t hurt, he’ll eventually drag it out of me anyways, who knows maybe it’ll help’. He thought.
“I don’t know Junsu, lately I’ve been having these dreams but when I wake up I can never remember what I was dreaming about. It’s really frustrating, you know, it’s like I’m forgetting something, something important.” He finished and he looked at his friend.
“Maybe you lost something, but can’t remember and your subconscious is trying to tell you. Have you tried looking through all your stuff to see if you’re missing anything” he said with a sincere expression.
‘Maybe he won’t be any help at all’
“Yes Junsu I already did that, I looked through all my stuff it’s all there, I even got my stuff back from you remember, I’m not missing anything. And I think it’s a person I’m forgetting.” He said a little annoyed at his best friend.
“Maybe you’re dreaming about me?”
“You?”
“Yeah, maybe your subconscious is trying to tell you not to forget your very best friend’s birthday, its coming up you know.”
“How could I possibly forget, you mention it at least five times a day, and how can I be dreaming about you, you’re a guy.” He said folding his arms trying to remember, he didn’t know who the mysterious person was but he was sure it wasn’t Junsu.
“Oh ho, so it is that kind of dream, naughty Hyukkie, don’t worry about it, I have those kinds of dreams all the time and I always wake up frustrated and bothered... and a little sticky too.”
‘He’s no help at all’
Junsu continued, “You just gotta not think about it because no matter how hard you try you can’t remember, even if you try falling asleep right away again, its no use. Just enjoy them while you can, when they happen. Does that help?” he said with a sincere content smile on his face.
“No”.
“No? Not even a little bit”.
“No”
“No?!”
“NO!” yelled Hyukjae.
Suddenly they heard muffled giggles and shhs coming from the dark closet-like room. Hyukjae and Junsu stopped and listened hard. Everything went quiet for a few moments and then they heard a first voice.
“You think there still out there?” said the first voice.
“I don’t know, you think they heard us?” said the second voice.
“Probably, your too loud hyung” said the first voice in a fake annoyed tone.
“Ya, whose fault is that” said the second voice as a signature laugh escaped his lips, and his partner followed, also laughing.
Hyukjae and Junsu looked at each other and then laughed out loud too, they knew exactly who was shut in the closet.
“Go check”
“You go check you’re older!” said the voice in a loud whisper.
Hyukjae and Junsu tired not to laugh, but they both explode with laughter when they saw Teukie poke his head from behind the door, Kang-in not far behind him poked his head from in between Teukie’s legs to see if the coast was clear.
“Ah, geez its just you two, you gave us a heart attack” said Teukie as he emerged from the closet fixing his hair and readjusting his clothes. “Kang-in its ok, its only Hyukjae and Junsu.”
“Ah, geez,” said Kang-in as he got to his feet and tired to even his breathing. “What are you thinking, busting through here,” he placed his hand over his heart. “Trying to give us a heart attack... spoiling the mood”. He said as he gave the both of them an evil glare for ruining their fun.
“Hyung, we weren’t trying to spoil your mood” said Junsu quickly, he knew better than to get on Kang-in’s bad side.
“And we weren’t busting through here, we were just walking by when… when” Hyukkie didn’t bother finishing his sentence. Junsu just nodded his head in agreement.
“There right Kang-in, calm down.” said Teukie as Kang-in gave them one as last death glare. “So what are you two up to anyways?” he said with an evil grin.
Junsu and Hyukkie both cringed at their hyungs, “Hyukkie and I were just on our way to go practice our dancing.”
“Oh, ok”, said Teukie making way for them to pass.
“Oh yea,” said Junsu, “I almost forgot, one of the hyungs were looking for you earlier Teukie hyung.”
“Really? Crap! I forgot there’s a new trainee in today, I’m suppose to show him around, take him under my wing like I did Kang-in”. he said placing a arm around his partner with an dirty grin on his face.
Both Hyukjae and Junsu looked at each other, they both laughed uncomfortably, thinking the same thing. They watched as Teukie went off into the opposite direction.
“I better go with him, bye” said Kang-in with a concerned expression as he ran after Teukie hyung.
“Sometimes Teukie hyung can be even scarier than Kang-in hyung”, said Hyukjae as he looked at Junsu, who nodded along. Junsu thought his best friend couldn’t be more right.
They soon started again on their way to the practice rooms. In an effort to forget about their run-in with their two hyungs Junsu brought up Hyukjae’s dreams again, sincerely wanting to help his best friend with his problem.
“So what do you remember?” asked Junsu but quickly continued after a blank stare from his friend. “I mean about your dreams, what do you remember?”
“Oh,” said Hyukjae looking down trying to remember and put into words what he could remember. “Mostly I just remember that there’s someone there, always the same person in my dreams, and feeling frustrated and angry at myself when I can’t remember when I wake up.”
“Hmmm…” said Junsu as he thought deeply about what was just said. “Hyukkie, have you ever thought that its not that you’ve forgotten someone but that you just can’t get that person out of your head?”
Hyukkie stared at his best friend opened mouth, it was so simple, he had been thinking he forgot someone, it never even occurred to him that it could be that he couldn’t stop thinking about someone instead. “I think your right Junsu”, he said as he ran over to his best friend and gave him a big bear hug.
“I love when you say that” said Junsu as he tired to break free from Hyukjae’s grip. “Now, all you have to figure out is who?”
“Who?”
“Who’s left you with a deep impression lately? Junsu asked, “Have you meet anyone new lately or seen anyone that was of interest to you?”
Hyukjae thought long and hard about that, he hadn’t met anyone new recently, he wouldn’t have had the chance, he only ever went from school to home to the company, almost everyday. Junsu agreed with him as he did have the same schedule and went to the same school, now that he thought about it he spent way too much time with Hyukkie. Hyukjae thought about it but no one can to mind, frustrated he told Junsu that he’ll think about it later and that they should concentrate on working on their dancing.
~~
“Hyuk, how much longer are we going to practice for?” asked Junsu as he collapsed on the floor.
“I thought you said that you liked this new routine, that it was the best one I’ve ever come up with” he said handing his friend his towel.
“Yeah, but that doesn’t mean that I want to do it all day long”, he said Junsu with a sigh.
“Alright, how about we just do it one last time, please Junsu” said Hyukkie as he pouted. Junsu sighed, he couldn’t say no to Hyukkie when he being so cute, he also knew that he was using dancing as a way to distract himself from thinking about the person in his dreams. Junsu quickly got up and took his starting position.
They were only a third into the routine when the door opened and a small group started watching them. Junsu noticed right away but concentrated on the dance, he knew that if he messed up Hyukkie would make them do it all over again. Hyukjae on the other hand, didn’t notice anyone open the door or even that anyone was watching them, he was totally emerged in his dancing. He had never been more focused on his routine, he put all his feelings in this one dance, all the pent up frustration, all in this last run. Hyuk hoped to try to tire himself so that he wouldn’t even dream tonight, so he gave it his all.
Slowly the music was dying out and Hyuk and Junsu finished their dance in sync with each other. They both smiled at each other and laughed in exhaustion. Junsu quickly went over to the door to go greet their audience. Hyukjae a step behind finally noticed the three boys at the door. He saw Teukie and Kang-in hyung but there was someone else there, someone Hyukjae couldn’t see, this third person was covered by Kang-in’s chubby frame. When he finally got closer he saw the boys face and it was like a thousand different things automatically clicked in his mind.
This was the face, the person that he had forgotten, no that was stuck in his head. This boy was the one, that caused him sleepless nights, that had him so angry at himself, and he thought ie was justified, how could he have ever forget a face like that. (Even though at the moment Donghae was just gawking, mouth open, at Hyukkie’s body). Hyukkie knew that he should probably be paying attention to what everyone was saying but he couldn’t, he could only continually stare at him and wonder, when/where had he seen this boy before
Junsu noticed right away that something was up with Hyuk, they were best friends after all, he looked at Hyuk and then to this new boy and back to Hyuk and got it. ‘This must be who Hyukkie’s been dreaming about, well this is a turn of events. Ah whatever I gotta help him out before this guy thinks he’s a rude stupid monkey. Even though he is, there’s no point of him knowing so soon before Hyukkie can work his charm’ thought Junsu as he grabbed his friend and tugged him forward.
“And this is Hyukjae,” said Junsu pulling the other boy forward. “Sorry he’s shy”.
As Hyukjae was suddenly pulled forward by Junsu he finally got a good clear look at him. Now seeing him with more detail, finally the last piece of the puzzle snapped into place. He suddenly remembered where he had seen this boy before; it was a few days ago, he was at the company and happened to look out the window when he saw him. He remembered clearly because this boy was walking out of the office and walking down the sidewalk when he turned around and looked up at the building. At first Hyukjae thought that the boy had surely sensed him and looked up in response, so he quickly turned away, but when he saw that he wasn’t looking at him, he stared back down again. There was something about the boy that made him want to continue to look at him, to reach out to him, but he knew it was rude to stare, so he gave one last quick glance and saw that the boy was turning away with tears in his eyes. Hyukjae watched him start down the street again, he remember feeling a pang in his heart and then the teacher called the trainees to order and he was forced to leave the window. He really wanted to kick himself now, was that it all along, was he not able to move past his face in his dreams because he felt guilty that he could not do anything for him at the time. He felt a rush of relief that he could finally move past this, but he suddenly remembered what and where he was and was horrified to see that the boy had his hand extended to him with a smile that was quickly fading.
Hyukjae suddenly got a panicked expression on his face, the last thing he wanted to do is to make him upset, he hoped that he would never have to see that expression he had when he saw him on the street, ever. Luckily Junsu saw Hyukkie’s terrified expressions knocked his friend forward, whispering to him, so no one else would hear, “Thank you, I hope we can be friends too, Donghae.” Hyukjae stumbled forward and repeated what he was told.
“Thank you,” he said as he took his hand in his. As soon as there hands locked there was a rush of sensation. ‘Donghae’ thought Hyukkie and he felt the sensation intensify, he looked from their hands to Donghae’s face. As he looked at Donghae he saw that the boy had a goofy expression on his face, Hyukkie thought it was cute and continued with the lines his friend gave him.
“I hope we can be friends too.” He finished and removed his had, he noticed Donghae still looked at him with his cute expression and couldn’t help but to smile at him. Hyukjae noticed that he looked at him again with another funny expression, and became very flushed.
“Umm… can I ask you something Hyukkie?” asked Donghae. Hyukjae stared at him for a second trying to regulate his heart, ‘He called me Hyukkie’ he thought as he tried to calm himself down.
“Sure” he answered trying not to look at him directly.
“Is there any special company bottled water they give out here or fountains everyone uses?” he asked staring at the floor with a shy but curious expression on his face.
Hyukkie chuckled to himself, ‘This guy is weird, why is he asking about water, well his name does mean east sea, maybe they take their water there very seriously where he’s from. At least I can stop dreaming about him now, I know who he is now and we can be friends, I can finally get some rest.’
~~
“Uggh”, grunted Hyukkie as he woke up again before he had his full night rest. It had already been weeks since he met Donghae, and since then they had both become very close friends, so it really frustrated Hyukkie that he was still dreaming about Donghae almost every night. He sat up again and tried to first to calm his heart down, then trying to remember what he dreamt about. ‘Why is it so hard for me to not dream about Lee Donghae ’he thought as he laughed out loud, thinking about the boy, and his crazy theories and even cuter expressions. He suddenly felt more at ease and fell right to sleep. He never even thought about how peaceful sleep came to him only after he embraced Donghae in his thoughts.
(While in Donghae’s bedroom)
Donghae was also wide awake, he couldn’t get to sleep, he had been at SME for a few weeks and could not figure out the place, he had ruled out the water but not completely, it was still a possible factor in the cause of what went on there. He had now moved on to the snacks they gave out. He glanced over to the big pile of snacks on his desk that he had taken over the last couple of days, wondering if that was to blame for the fluttering feelings he got when he was around Hyukkie.
“Better stop eating them, and I better not take any water that’s not mine. I also better talk to Hyukkie about not eating the snacks either”, he said to himself as he lied back down, he quickly fell asleep thinking of water, snacks and the flutters he felt with Hyukkie.
(Part 1)
When he finally got closer he saw the boys face and it was like a thousand different things automatically clicked in his mind. This was the face, the person that he had forgotten, no that was stuck in his head.
