"What are YOU doing here?", Haerim snarled with the most disgusted voice she could afford. Sungmin just laughed and patted her arm.
"Calm down, it's just Kyuhyun."
Haerim rolled her eyes. "I know who he is."
"And now you can stop acting as if I was not here and couldn't here you.", Kyuhyun riled and purposely sat down next to Sungmin.
"Uhm. Did I miss anything?" Sungmin wondered, looking from Kyuhyun to Haerim. Both of them just shrugged.
"No, why?", they said in unison and Sungmin kept wondering.
"Well, actually, I just wanted to ask what we were doing in Algebra last time because I had an appointment."
Sungmin smiled and took his bag. "Okay, wait a moment. I have it written in my note book."
"Well, actually we are eating. I don't know if it is a good idea to take our your school stuff now." Haerim said sweetly and placed her hand on Sungmin's shoulder.
Kyuhyun sent her a death glare. "Isn't that Sungmin Hyung's problem?"
Sungmin blinked nervously. Something was wrong but he didn't know what. He was more than glad to suddenly hear a cracking voice out of the public address system.
"Announcement! Attention please! This goes to all students of Mr. Lee's first years biology class! Please come to the teacher's room immediately to get informations about these year's field excursion!"
Sungmin groaned. That was his class and he hadn't even finished his food. He looked over to Kyuhyun who just shrugged.
"Guess we have to go."
"Go where?" Haerim snapped.
"Are you okay? You seem stressed the whole day already." Sungmin asked in worry and looked at her.
Haerim closed her eyes, in-and exhaling.
"Sorry. It's just that my parents are nagging on me recently. Sorry, Kyuhyun. I guess that I just need some sleep."
Sungmin patted her shoulder and pecked her cheek. Kyuhyun turned his head and looked somewhere else.
"Eat something and don't overstress yourself, okay? Come on, Kyuhyunnie, Mr. Lee is always really impatient."
They left the cafeteria and met Eunhyuk and Donghae outside.
"Told you not to take chemistry! Now we cannot go on the excursion together!", Donghae was whining and Eunhyuk looked at him in frustration.
"I'm sorry. Let's not fight, okay? We can't change it anyway."
Donghae sighed and looked at the ceiling. Eunhyuk bit his lower lip.
"Are you mad at me?"
Donghae looked at him again and hugged his friend.
"I could never be mad at you."
Sungmun giggled and tugged on Kyuhyun's arm who had to smile himself.
Eunhyuk heard the giggle and turned to his twin, blushing hard.
"Uhm, what are you two doing here? It's lunchtime, isn't it?", he said nervously and Sungmin grinned.
"Going to Mr. Lee's room to get more informations about the excursion. Like Donghae, I suppose.", Kyuhyun said.
His brother glared at him. "Donghae Hyung. And yes, you are right. And our Eunhyukkie here didn't want to choose Biology so we have to do the excursion without him."
"One week, isn't it?", Sungmin asked and pulled his brother next to him.
"But Chemistry is way more interesting than your weird biology stuff. We can blow up things and-"
"You've never blown up anything in Chemistry.", Donghae said while rolling his eyes. Eunhyuk opened his mouth to say something but closed it the next moment again.
"At least we don't have to cut fish open!", he then said and crossed his arms. Donghae did the same. They both remained in that position until Sungmin smacked Eunhyuk's head.
"Idiots. Won't help you to fight about it, okay? Now come on, Hae, and Hyukkie should prepare for his dance lesson."
Donghae sighed and went away. Eunhyuk pouted and had his arms still crossed.
"Why would I choose a subject I don't like at all, only to spend a week with someone I see everyday anyway?"
Sungmin giggled and hugged him. "You are frustrated, admit it! It's okay, I'll take care of him. No one in our Biology class will get too close to him!"
"Shouldn't we go to Mr. Lee?", Kyuhyun then asked. Sungmin jerked.
"Right! Yes, we should. I'm so forgetful sometimes! Come on, Kyuhyunnie, and you, Hyuk, should seriously go now."
They went to the the teacher's room then where they met the others from their Biology class, waiting for their teacher Mr. Lee. Said man came out two minutes later and began to count his students.
"13... 14... 15... 16, okay. So, since our topic this quarter is life in the sea, we are going to Jeju Island."
Half of the students moaned. They'd been to Jeju Island for every year with their parents.
"Ya! That excursion is not only for fun, okay? We are there to learn something, so stop whining. I have a handout right here, please give it to your parents to sign it and give it to me. The deadline is on Friday. You cannot enter the boat to Jeju without this, okay? The price for the whole week is 152,000 Won. It sounds a lot but we can be glad that we managed to get such a good offer for a whole week. If anyone has problems arranging this sum, please come to me, we'll find a solution. Every student who doesn't enter this excursion gets a 'F' mark for the whole quarter so don't forget this little sheet of paper."
Sungmin, Donghae and Kyuhyun all received the paper sheet and put it into their bags.
"Wow. One week is so much!", Donghae whined in exaggeration and flailed. Sungmin patted his shoulder.
"Missing Eunhyukkie already?"
Donghae just sighed and they went back to the cafeteria. Haerim was still sitting on her seat and was now reading a book. Sungmin excused himself and went to his girlfriend, leaving Donghae and Kyuhyun watching.
"Describe the feeling.", Kyuhyun murmured and Donghae raised an eye brow, questioning.
"What feeling?"
"When you feel that Eunhyuk Hyung still loves his brother more than he loves you, if I can even call his feelings for you 'love'."
Donghae stared at him. "How-"
"Only Jongwoon Hyung and Ryeowook Hyung are more obvious.", Kyuhyun said and raised an eyebrow.
Donghae blushed but his brother continued.
"Or when girls are chasing him?"
Donghae blushed even more.
"I don't know how to describe it. It's a really uncomfortable feeling that makes you want to cry. It's like you are not yourself anymore. You want to hit or destroy something and when it's really bad, your heart aches a bit and your stomach too."
Kyuhyun looked at Sungmin who was laughing now while Haerim was holding his hand.
"Oh. I see."
Donghae had noticed where his brother was staring at.
"What do you feel?"
Kyuhyun didn't reply at first, as if he was thinking about what to say.
"Pain."
It was not even the thought of Sungmin being with someone else but the thought that he was not the one who could make him laugh like that.
----------------------
"Oh, Sunbae, what are you doing here?", Donghae wondered when he came out of his biology class. His friend's girlfriend was standing there, writing something in her notebook.
"Shim Sungyoun, Park Minsoo...", she whispered to herself and leaped a bit when she heard Donghae's voice. "Uhm, picking up Minnie!", Haerim smiled nervously and bit the tip of her pencil. She looked a bit stressed, bit messy and being hectic.
"But it's lunch time now! You two always meet in the cafeteria and now-"
"I, er, wanted to surprise him, you know? By the way, do you need some tutoring before going on your excursion? Math tests are after that week and I don't know if you really got everything with the matrix-vector thingy and such, you know?"
Donghae eyed her suspiciously. "Are you okay?"
Haerim sighed and shook her head. "Yeah, yeah. Just got too less sleep."
Donghae nodded and took out his notebook. "You are right, I don't really understand how to use those determinants. Do you have time tomorrow?"
Haerim smiled. "Yes, tomorrow is fine. I'm coming over again, okay?"
Donghae nodded and went away. Right then, Sungmin left the room.
"Hi! What are you doing here?", he wondered.
"You are already going next week! I want to spend as much time as possible with you.", Haerim said and clung on his arm.
"But we meet in the cafeteria anyway..."
"Those 50 meters also count as time we spend together!"
Sungmin smiled. "We have to wait for Kyuhyunnie."
"He knows the way, doesn't he?", Haerim asked with a dropping voice. Sungmin sighed.
"Come on, be nice. He's a friend."
"And Kyuhyunnie? Is he a dog?"
"I used to call them that and I think it's cute. Tell me, do you have a problem with him?", Sungmin then asked. Haerim pouted.
"No."
"Are you sure?"
Haerim nodded frantically and right in that moment, Kyuhyun came out of the class.
"Sorry, Mr. Lee was asking me something about my year abroad and- Sunbae?"
Haerim just took Sungmin's arm again. "I hope it is okay for you that we spend those 50 meters to the cafeteria together?"
Kyuhyun smiled at her. "No, why would that be a problem?"
Sungmin spotted the notebook in her hands. "What are you writing there?"
Haerim jerked and put the little book into her pocket. "No-nothing of importance! Actually, I just settled a tutoring lesson with Donghae before you all are going to Jeju Island next week. His Algebra is rather weak."
"Are you coming over again?", Kyuhyun asked while narrowing his brows.
"Yeah. Hope you don't mind?", Haerim smiled sweetly.
"Why would I?", Kyuhyun murmured, absentmindedly staring at Sungmin's arm around Haerim's shoulder.
--------------------
Kyuhyun yawned and opened his eyes. A bright sunray had hit his face, forcing him to wake up of a dream he didn't even remember anymore. He looked at the alarm clock next to his bed and sighed when he saw that it was just 9 AM. On a Saturday. He sighed again and hid his head under his pillow. What was he supposed to do the whole day? A little smirk crawled up his lips.
Starcraft.
He lifted up his skinny butt, skinny despite the fact that he barely moved and played games the whole day while wolfing down ridiculously huge amounts of food, and crawled over to his closet. Which laptop today? Starcraft would need a strong and fast processor, so the MacBook would be way too weak. Even though it was already the Pro Version for a thousand dollars more.
Starcraft needed his strongest laptop. It was not as pretty or thin as his MacBook Pro or even his MacBook Air, but it used the Internet connection to its full capacity. Kyuhyun grinned and logged in while his hand searched for his telephone. He pressed the number 1 and waited.
"Mom?"
"Yes, darling?", Leeteuk's voice came out of the hands-free headset.
"I'm on Starcraft today, bring me some food upstairs. Cold noodles will do."
"Kyuhyun?", his mother said and Kyuhyun could hear the frown in her voice.
"Please."
"Will be there in ten minutes, Kyu-baby! Do you actually know when Donghae's tutor is coming? I need to know if I have to cook some more food for lunch."
Her son rolled his eyes while blowing up an Alien's head.
"How would I know that? Ask him."
He spent comfortable three hours with his beloved strategy game, when he heard someone ringing the door. Great, Haerim had arrived, he thought in sarcasm.
He didn't like her at all and that was not only because she was Sungmin's girlfriend. He was usually not that type of guy who would get jealous anyway. Okay, he was. But still, there was something else. She sometimes had a weird aura and the way she looked at her boyfriend was more than jealous. More like possessive.
And while Kyuhyun kept playing Starcraft and complained about the unfortunates in his life that pulled him away from Sungmin, Haerim did her best to explain Donghae that the derivation of an e-function was the same as the e-function itself.
Donghae didn't get it though and they decided to take a short break.
"Tell me, Sungmin and Kyuhyun, were they close?", Haerim suddenly spoke up.
"Yes. Like, really close. It started when we were... I was five and Kyuhyunnie ws still three. Our house burned down, you know, and we moved in Sungmin Hyung's and Eunhyukkie's and Ryeowookie's house since our parents are close. Kyuhyun is a bit snarky so they were not that close at first but Sungmin Hyung's too nice to be hated, you know that and they started to become really close, especially after Eunhyukkie had his accident."
"Oh, I see!", Haerim nodded.
Donghae suddenly became really bouncy and his eyes began to sparkle.
"You know what? On Kyuhyunnie's fifth birthday, Sungmin Hyung gave him his present and Kyuhyunnie kissed him on the lips and said that he really loved him, like his parents love each other!", he exclaimed excitedly.
Then it was silence for a second. Haerim coughed.
"But that's already a long time ago and they were little kids, right?" she said sharply and Donghae tilted his head cutely.
"Uhm, yes, of course." he said in confusion. Oh yes, wasn't she homophobe?
"I can use your restroom, can't I?" Haerim then asked all of sudden. Donghae could just nod.
When she had left the room, he sighed. He knew that his tutor was a nice girl but sometimes, she had that look in her eyes. Especially when it came to Sungmin.
Donghae spotted her notebook laying opened on his desk. "Curiousity killed the cat." he thought. But he was curious about what she had written inside it the day before when they met in front of his Biology class. He didn't believe that she just wanted to spend some time with Sungmin.
Donghae glanced to the door quickly and took the notebook. He opened it and browsed through the pages until he found the last one where something was written on. He blinked. Again. But still didn't understand what the written words were supposed to mean. Everything he saw were names. Which somehow seemed familiar to him.
"Wait. These are all the girls in my biology class. Kim Sooyoun, Park Minsoo, Shim Sungyoun, Choi Minkyoung, Kim Minah, Oh Hwanhee... They are all in my Biology class. But why did she write their names into her notebook?", he wondered.
There was some more written next to all those names but Donghae was afraid that Haerim would come back every second and took his mobile phone to take a quick picture before putting the notebook back to where it was.
Haerim opened the door only two seconds later and Donghae sighed in relief. She sat down and gave him an innocent, quick smile.
"Anything wrong?" she said, referring to his sigh. Donghae nodded and knocked his ankles before turning back to his maths book.
"I'm just wondering why there are people like you and Kyuhyun who get every math stuff in a matter of a second and there are people like me and Jongwoon Hyung who don't even understand why a minus in front of a brace turns every sign of the number in that brace into the opposite." He sighed again.
"That's what we are for. To explain it to you."
She inhaled deeply and looked at Donghae for a second.
"One last question to Kyuhyun. Does he have any... inappropriate feelings for Sungmin?", she asked sharply.
Donghae cleared his throat. "What do you mean by 'inappropriate'?"
"Like... Feelings a guy shouldn't have for another guy."
Donghae stared at her. "If you mean what I think you mean, I have to correct you. The only inappropriate feeling in this world is hate but since you obviously mean the total opposite, I have to say that love never is an inappropriate feeling. A guy can feel as much love for every person, no matter if male or female, as he ever wants to. And back to your question, I wouldn't know why I should tell you about a matter that is actually none of your business.", he replied, even sharper and obviously pissed off.
Haerim stared at him with her mouth wide open. She was gapsmacked and had no idea how to react to this. Blinking a few times gave her the mind to talk back.
"We-well, I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. I was just kinda... Curious."
Donghae sighed. "Maybe I overreacted. Let's just continue, okay?"
-------------------
Monday came and their Biology class was now sitting on the boat to Jeju Island for their excursion. Donghae was cheerful as always, jumping around and praising thesea.
"Oh my! Look! There was a fish! Kyuhyunnie, did you see that? A fish!"
Kyuhyun hummed a short answer "Never seen a fish before?" and continued concentrating on his PSP.
Donghae wasn't put down by that answer anyway and turned to Kibum who was just as busy playing games as Donghae's brother was.
"A fish!", he exclaimed and Kibum gave him a short look, along with a quick smile of his.
"Great. Now go and look for a dolphin, okay?"
Kyuhyun gave him a short 'thumbs up'-sign since Donghae would never be able to spot a dolphin in the Korean sea.
Donghae nodded frantically and ran to the other side of the boat where he found Sungmin laying on his back and moaning for god's sake about his sea sickness.
"Sungmin Hyung! Wanna go looking for a dolphin with me?"
Usually, Sungmin would have smiled and said that dolphins don't exist in the Korean sea but right now, his stomach seemed to greet him so he just closed his eyes and turned to the other side.
After a while, Kyuhyun stood up and looked for his Hyung, soon finding him on the same place, face a bit green then.
"Hyung? Are you okay?"
"Seasick...", Sungmin whimpered and clasped his hand or his mouth, turning around again, just in case.
"Oh...", Kyuhyun said, the only thing that came to his mind in that moment. Suddenly, an idea popped up his mind. "Hyung, are we going to share a room in Jeju? Donghae Hyung said he wanted to stay with Kibum Hyung."
Kyuhyun closed his eyes, ready for any rejection. Sungmin moaned over his sick stomach and his dizzy mind but tried his best to turn to the other boy without vomiting right at the spot.
"Sure thing..." Then his eyes widened. "Now excuse me." he whimpered and went away, hand still covering his mouth.
Meanwhile, Donghae and Kibum were talking after the latter felt sympathy and told Donghae that there weren't any dolphins in Korea.
"Hey, Kibum can you help me?"
Kibum sighed. "What is it this time? Hyukjae and Sungmin are okay, aren't they?" Donghae clasped his hand over his friend's mouth.
"Don't call him that! Only me and Sungmin Hyung can call him that!"
Kibum raised an eye brow. "Possessive much, huh?"
Donghae blushed. "We-well, back to my question. I found something in Haerim's note book when she-"
"You browsed through a girl's note book?", Kibum said with a dropping voice and raised his other eye brow along. Donghae blushed even more.
"It was because I saw her writing stuff into it while murmuring weird things.... However, I took a picture."
Kibum took his friend's mobile phone and look at the screen. "A few names?"
"Look at what's written next to it!", Donghae said in excitement and jumped up and down on his seat.
"Single, in a relationship with Kim Youngseo, Single, Single, confessed to Jung Sunghwa two days ago, Single- what is this?", Kibum asked curiously and pointed at the senseless seeming writing on Donghae's screen. The latter just shrugged.
"I asked you! These are all girls from my biology class and-"
"Wait. It was in Haerim's notebook?", Kibum interrupted him and Donghae just nodded. "Donghae Hyung, do you actually... oh holy crap.", Kibum gasped.
"What, what?", Donghae blinked and stared at his friend intensely.
Kibum stared at the screen. "I think that... Haerim spied on the girls in your class to get to know if... damn. This is nuts."
"What? Tell me!", Donghae demanded impatiently and nudged on Kibum's arm.
"She doesn't want any girl to get close to Sungmin Hyung, that's why she made this list. Girls who are in a relationship are not dangerous to her, same goes for girls who obviously have a crush on someone else. This is sick.", Kibum explained.
Both of them stared at the screen in shock.
"Possessive much, huh?", Donghae whispered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sungmin jumped on the landing stage in relief and inhaled the fresh, salty air. Then he tripped, mind not quite clear yet and still dizzy. Fortunately, Kyuhyun was right there, which wasn't quite a coincidence to be honest, and caught him. Sungmin groaned over his dizzy head and had to grab Kyuhyun's arm.
"Oh god. Thank you, Kyuhyunnie.", he said and closed his eyes. "I feel horrible, where is the car to the hotel?"
"We have to wait a bit. Sit down, Hyung. You still feel dizzy, don't you? Are you feeling like vomiting?"
Sungmin smiled weakly and shook his head. "It's a bit better now. Thanks, Kyuhyunnie."
Donghae and Kibum were still discussing as they came down from the boat, pointing at Donghae's phone screen the whole time which made them looking quite awkward. Kyuhyun remembered that he still had to talk to his brother.
"Donghae Hyung!" he called out and Donghae immediately looked at him, head tilting in suspicion.
"You are calling me Hyung? What do you want? I don't have money, just so you know!"
Kyuhyun opened his mouth only to close it the next second again, wondering if he really was only calling Donghae 'Hyung' if he was asking for money. However, that wasn't the point right then.
"No! I'm not asking for money but for something else!"
"You want him to share a room with me so you can tell Sungmin Hyung that you can't share a room with your brother since he already has a roommate.", Kibum said nonchalantely, earning a bright smile from Kyuhyun.
"Yes! You got it, Hyung! What would I be doing without you?"
"Probably humiliating yourself every second of your life in which Sungmin Hyung is around."
"Ya! Don't exaggerate!"
"It's weird how he always turns into a little child when we are talking about Sungmin Hyung.", Donghae said, narrowing his brows and looking at his brother in curiousity. Kyuhyun's cheeks caught a slight blush as he turned around, ready to go back to Sungmin who pretty much didn't care about anything else than his head in that moment.
"I'm not childish.", Kyuhyun murmured and Donghae laughed.
"However, I'm okay with it when Kibum is! Is it okay for you to share a room with me?", he said with a little unconscious pout into Kibum's direction.
"I don't care."
"Yay!"
A/N: I actually wanted to put the next two parts of the next chapter in this chapter already but it would be too long then >.< I'm really busy in the moment, working my ass of for 'United Colors of Benetton' but it's worth it^^ I get money, discount and the feeling of being useful ;) So people, try to work as soon as you can! I'm just 16, but I immediately looked for a job on my 16th birthday :3 And one little advice for everyone who lives in Germany and drinks Boboq Bubble Tea: Please never, NEVER drink Hibiscus Flavoured Milk. Hibiscus Black Tea/Green Tea is wonderful delicious but in Flavoured Milk? No way. Tastes like Tomato Juice in Milk -.-

Donghae nodded and took out his notebook. "You are right, I don't really understand how to use those determinants. Do you have time tomorrow?"
Haerim smiled. "Yes, tomorrow is fine. I'm coming over again, okay?"
Donghae nodded and went away. Right then, Sungmin left the room.
"Hi! What are you doing here?", he wondered.
"You are already going next week! I want to spend as much time as possible with you.", Haerim said and clung on his arm.
"But we meet in the cafeteria anyway..."
"Those 50 meters also count as time we spend together!"
Sungmin smiled. "We have to wait for Kyuhyunnie."
"He knows the way, doesn't he?", Haerim asked with a dropping voice. Sungmin sighed.
"Come on, be nice. He's a friend."
"And Kyuhyunnie? Is he a dog?"
"I used to call them that and I think it's cute. Tell me, do you have a problem with him?", Sungmin then asked. Haerim pouted.
"No."
"Are you sure?"
Haerim nodded frantically and right in that moment, Kyuhyun came out of the class.
"Sorry, Mr. Lee was asking me something about my year abroad and- Sunbae?"
Haerim just took Sungmin's arm again. "I hope it is okay for you that we spend those 50 meters to the cafeteria together?"
Kyuhyun smiled at her. "No, why would that be a problem?"
Sungmin spotted the notebook in her hands. "What are you writing there?"
Haerim jerked and put the little book into her pocket. "No-nothing of importance! Actually, I just settled a tutoring lesson with Donghae before you all are going to Jeju Island next week. His Algebra is rather weak."
"Are you coming over again?", Kyuhyun asked while narrowing his brows.
"Yeah. Hope you don't mind?", Haerim smiled sweetly.
"Why would I?", Kyuhyun murmured, absentmindedly staring at Sungmin's arm around Haerim's shoulder.
--------------------
Kyuhyun yawned and opened his eyes. A bright sunray had hit his face, forcing him to wake up of a dream he didn't even remember anymore. He looked at the alarm clock next to his bed and sighed when he saw that it was just 9 AM. On a Saturday. He sighed again and hid his head under his pillow. What was he supposed to do the whole day? A little smirk crawled up his lips.
Starcraft.
He lifted up his skinny butt, skinny despite the fact that he barely moved and played games the whole day while wolfing down ridiculously huge amounts of food, and crawled over to his closet. Which laptop today? Starcraft would need a strong and fast processor, so the MacBook would be way too weak. Even though it was already the Pro Version for a thousand dollars more.
Starcraft needed his strongest laptop. It was not as pretty or thin as his MacBook Pro or even his MacBook Air, but it used the Internet connection to its full capacity. Kyuhyun grinned and logged in while his hand searched for his telephone. He pressed the number 1 and waited.
"Mom?"
"Yes, darling?", Leeteuk's voice came out of the hands-free headset.
"I'm on Starcraft today, bring me some food upstairs. Cold noodles will do."
"Kyuhyun?", his mother said and Kyuhyun could hear the frown in her voice.
"Please."
"Will be there in ten minutes, Kyu-baby! Do you actually know when Donghae's tutor is coming? I need to know if I have to cook some more food for lunch."
Her son rolled his eyes while blowing up an Alien's head.
"How would I know that? Ask him."
He spent comfortable three hours with his beloved strategy game, when he heard someone ringing the door. Great, Haerim had arrived, he thought in sarcasm.
He didn't like her at all and that was not only because she was Sungmin's girlfriend. He was usually not that type of guy who would get jealous anyway. Okay, he was. But still, there was something else. She sometimes had a weird aura and the way she looked at her boyfriend was more than jealous. More like possessive.
And while Kyuhyun kept playing Starcraft and complained about the unfortunates in his life that pulled him away from Sungmin, Haerim did her best to explain Donghae that the derivation of an e-function was the same as the e-function itself.
Donghae didn't get it though and they decided to take a short break.
"Tell me, Sungmin and Kyuhyun, were they close?", Haerim suddenly spoke up.
"Yes. Like, really close. It started when we were... I was five and Kyuhyunnie ws still three. Our house burned down, you know, and we moved in Sungmin Hyung's and Eunhyukkie's and Ryeowookie's house since our parents are close. Kyuhyun is a bit snarky so they were not that close at first but Sungmin Hyung's too nice to be hated, you know that and they started to become really close, especially after Eunhyukkie had his accident."
"Oh, I see!", Haerim nodded.
Donghae suddenly became really bouncy and his eyes began to sparkle.
"You know what? On Kyuhyunnie's fifth birthday, Sungmin Hyung gave him his present and Kyuhyunnie kissed him on the lips and said that he really loved him, like his parents love each other!", he exclaimed excitedly.
Then it was silence for a second. Haerim coughed.
"But that's already a long time ago and they were little kids, right?" she said sharply and Donghae tilted his head cutely.
"Uhm, yes, of course." he said in confusion. Oh yes, wasn't she homophobe?
"I can use your restroom, can't I?" Haerim then asked all of sudden. Donghae could just nod.
When she had left the room, he sighed. He knew that his tutor was a nice girl but sometimes, she had that look in her eyes. Especially when it came to Sungmin.
Donghae spotted her notebook laying opened on his desk. "Curiousity killed the cat." he thought. But he was curious about what she had written inside it the day before when they met in front of his Biology class. He didn't believe that she just wanted to spend some time with Sungmin.
Donghae glanced to the door quickly and took the notebook. He opened it and browsed through the pages until he found the last one where something was written on. He blinked. Again. But still didn't understand what the written words were supposed to mean. Everything he saw were names. Which somehow seemed familiar to him.
"Wait. These are all the girls in my biology class. Kim Sooyoun, Park Minsoo, Shim Sungyoun, Choi Minkyoung, Kim Minah, Oh Hwanhee... They are all in my Biology class. But why did she write their names into her notebook?", he wondered.
There was some more written next to all those names but Donghae was afraid that Haerim would come back every second and took his mobile phone to take a quick picture before putting the notebook back to where it was.
Haerim opened the door only two seconds later and Donghae sighed in relief. She sat down and gave him an innocent, quick smile.
"Anything wrong?" she said, referring to his sigh. Donghae nodded and knocked his ankles before turning back to his maths book.
"I'm just wondering why there are people like you and Kyuhyun who get every math stuff in a matter of a second and there are people like me and Jongwoon Hyung who don't even understand why a minus in front of a brace turns every sign of the number in that brace into the opposite." He sighed again.
"That's what we are for. To explain it to you."
She inhaled deeply and looked at Donghae for a second.
"One last question to Kyuhyun. Does he have any... inappropriate feelings for Sungmin?", she asked sharply.
Donghae cleared his throat. "What do you mean by 'inappropriate'?"
"Like... Feelings a guy shouldn't have for another guy."
Donghae stared at her. "If you mean what I think you mean, I have to correct you. The only inappropriate feeling in this world is hate but since you obviously mean the total opposite, I have to say that love never is an inappropriate feeling. A guy can feel as much love for every person, no matter if male or female, as he ever wants to. And back to your question, I wouldn't know why I should tell you about a matter that is actually none of your business.", he replied, even sharper and obviously pissed off.
Haerim stared at him with her mouth wide open. She was gapsmacked and had no idea how to react to this. Blinking a few times gave her the mind to talk back.
"We-well, I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. I was just kinda... Curious."
Donghae sighed. "Maybe I overreacted. Let's just continue, okay?"
-------------------
Monday came and their Biology class was now sitting on the boat to Jeju Island for their excursion. Donghae was cheerful as always, jumping around and praising thesea.
"Oh my! Look! There was a fish! Kyuhyunnie, did you see that? A fish!"
Kyuhyun hummed a short answer "Never seen a fish before?" and continued concentrating on his PSP.
Donghae wasn't put down by that answer anyway and turned to Kibum who was just as busy playing games as Donghae's brother was.
"A fish!", he exclaimed and Kibum gave him a short look, along with a quick smile of his.
"Great. Now go and look for a dolphin, okay?"
Kyuhyun gave him a short 'thumbs up'-sign since Donghae would never be able to spot a dolphin in the Korean sea.
Donghae nodded frantically and ran to the other side of the boat where he found Sungmin laying on his back and moaning for god's sake about his sea sickness.
"Sungmin Hyung! Wanna go looking for a dolphin with me?"
Usually, Sungmin would have smiled and said that dolphins don't exist in the Korean sea but right now, his stomach seemed to greet him so he just closed his eyes and turned to the other side.
After a while, Kyuhyun stood up and looked for his Hyung, soon finding him on the same place, face a bit green then.
"Hyung? Are you okay?"
"Seasick...", Sungmin whimpered and clasped his hand or his mouth, turning around again, just in case.
"Oh...", Kyuhyun said, the only thing that came to his mind in that moment. Suddenly, an idea popped up his mind. "Hyung, are we going to share a room in Jeju? Donghae Hyung said he wanted to stay with Kibum Hyung."
Kyuhyun closed his eyes, ready for any rejection. Sungmin moaned over his sick stomach and his dizzy mind but tried his best to turn to the other boy without vomiting right at the spot.
"Sure thing..." Then his eyes widened. "Now excuse me." he whimpered and went away, hand still covering his mouth.
Meanwhile, Donghae and Kibum were talking after the latter felt sympathy and told Donghae that there weren't any dolphins in Korea.
"Hey, Kibum can you help me?"
Kibum sighed. "What is it this time? Hyukjae and Sungmin are okay, aren't they?" Donghae clasped his hand over his friend's mouth.
"Don't call him that! Only me and Sungmin Hyung can call him that!"
Kibum raised an eye brow. "Possessive much, huh?"
Donghae blushed. "We-well, back to my question. I found something in Haerim's note book when she-"
"You browsed through a girl's note book?", Kibum said with a dropping voice and raised his other eye brow along. Donghae blushed even more.
"It was because I saw her writing stuff into it while murmuring weird things.... However, I took a picture."
Kibum took his friend's mobile phone and look at the screen. "A few names?"
"Look at what's written next to it!", Donghae said in excitement and jumped up and down on his seat.
"Single, in a relationship with Kim Youngseo, Single, Single, confessed to Jung Sunghwa two days ago, Single- what is this?", Kibum asked curiously and pointed at the senseless seeming writing on Donghae's screen. The latter just shrugged.
"I asked you! These are all girls from my biology class and-"
"Wait. It was in Haerim's notebook?", Kibum interrupted him and Donghae just nodded. "Donghae Hyung, do you actually... oh holy crap.", Kibum gasped.
"What, what?", Donghae blinked and stared at his friend intensely.
Kibum stared at the screen. "I think that... Haerim spied on the girls in your class to get to know if... damn. This is nuts."
"What? Tell me!", Donghae demanded impatiently and nudged on Kibum's arm.
"She doesn't want any girl to get close to Sungmin Hyung, that's why she made this list. Girls who are in a relationship are not dangerous to her, same goes for girls who obviously have a crush on someone else. This is sick.", Kibum explained.
Both of them stared at the screen in shock.
"Possessive much, huh?", Donghae whispered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sungmin jumped on the landing stage in relief and inhaled the fresh, salty air. Then he tripped, mind not quite clear yet and still dizzy. Fortunately, Kyuhyun was right there, which wasn't quite a coincidence to be honest, and caught him. Sungmin groaned over his dizzy head and had to grab Kyuhyun's arm.
"Oh god. Thank you, Kyuhyunnie.", he said and closed his eyes. "I feel horrible, where is the car to the hotel?"
"We have to wait a bit. Sit down, Hyung. You still feel dizzy, don't you? Are you feeling like vomiting?"
Sungmin smiled weakly and shook his head. "It's a bit better now. Thanks, Kyuhyunnie."
Donghae and Kibum were still discussing as they came down from the boat, pointing at Donghae's phone screen the whole time which made them looking quite awkward. Kyuhyun remembered that he still had to talk to his brother.
"Donghae Hyung!" he called out and Donghae immediately looked at him, head tilting in suspicion.
"You are calling me Hyung? What do you want? I don't have money, just so you know!"
Kyuhyun opened his mouth only to close it the next second again, wondering if he really was only calling Donghae 'Hyung' if he was asking for money. However, that wasn't the point right then.
"No! I'm not asking for money but for something else!"
"You want him to share a room with me so you can tell Sungmin Hyung that you can't share a room with your brother since he already has a roommate.", Kibum said nonchalantely, earning a bright smile from Kyuhyun.
"Yes! You got it, Hyung! What would I be doing without you?"
"Probably humiliating yourself every second of your life in which Sungmin Hyung is around."
"Ya! Don't exaggerate!"
"It's weird how he always turns into a little child when we are talking about Sungmin Hyung.", Donghae said, narrowing his brows and looking at his brother in curiousity. Kyuhyun's cheeks caught a slight blush as he turned around, ready to go back to Sungmin who pretty much didn't care about anything else than his head in that moment.
"I'm not childish.", Kyuhyun murmured and Donghae laughed.
"However, I'm okay with it when Kibum is! Is it okay for you to share a room with me?", he said with a little unconscious pout into Kibum's direction.
"I don't care."
"Yay!"
A/N: I actually wanted to put the next two parts of the next chapter in this chapter already but it would be too long then >.< I'm really busy in the moment, working my ass of for 'United Colors of Benetton' but it's worth it^^ I get money, discount and the feeling of being useful ;) So people, try to work as soon as you can! I'm just 16, but I immediately looked for a job on my 16th birthday :3 And one little advice for everyone who lives in Germany and drinks Boboq Bubble Tea: Please never, NEVER drink Hibiscus Flavoured Milk. Hibiscus Black Tea/Green Tea is wonderful delicious but in Flavoured Milk? No way. Tastes like Tomato Juice in Milk -.-
