“Hey wait up!” Sungmin shouted for Hyukjae who was a few metres in front of him. Hyukjae walked slower, after Sungmin’s voice instead of Donghae’s. “Thanks.” Sungmin mumbled, adjusting his bag which was falling of his shoulder before walking in step with Hyukjae.
“So..” Sungmin started, not really sure of how this conversation would go. “Did Donghae do something wrong?” He asked and Hyukjae gave him a side eye. “You know you can tell me anything Eunhyukkie.”
“It’s nothing..” He said, trying to walk a little faster and get away from Sungmin. “Nothing, really.” He fussed when Sungmin caught up with him again and tugged at his shirt.
“Don’t do that.” Eunhyuk scolded, turning away quickly to rid Sungmin’s hand from his shirt.
“You have a boyfriend now..” He added, mentally slapping himself when Sungmin looked at him sadly. “Im sorry.” He apologized before he turned back to walk.
“Is this about me?” Sungmin asked as he stood still, staring at Eunhyuk’s back. “About me breaking up with you a long time ago and now, here we stand with 2 different guys?” he frowned.
Eunhyuk turned, blinked a few times and gave a faint nod. “Yes.. So quit following me and go back to Kyuhyun..” He warned, staring dangerously at the older male.
“What if I want to follow you, make sure you got back home safe?” Sungmin challenged. “You are still my friend.”
“That is my main problem.. I don’t only see you as a friend.” Eunhyuk looked down, slightly angered by his own words. “Just go home.” Eunhyuk gritted, swinging his arms chasing Sungmin away.
Sungmin winced and took a step back, he didn’t know what to do. “Hyukkie..” He cooed and Eunhyuk turned, screaming as if he was in pain. “Stop! Stop calling me that!”
Sungmin’s blood drained from his face, he turned paper white as Eunhyuk strode towards him staring him straight in the eye. “You don’t know how I felt when you left me! You left me with no one! No one!” he yelled.
Sungmin gapped as Eunhyuk’s feelings poured down like a thunderstorm. He didn’t know, when he left Eunhyuk, he looked sad but he didn’t know that was his true feelings.
“I loved you.. I still do..” Eunhyuk sobbed as tears dripped from his red eyes. “After you left, my parents found out I was dating my best friend, you. They treated me like a disease, they asked me why I couldn’t be normal like other kids.” He continued to sob, Sungmin rubbed Eunhyuk on his sides and pulled him closer to support him from falling.
“I’m sorry Hyukkie..” Sungmin apologized and Eunhyuk immediately stopped him. “Don’t call me that anymore, it makes me think...too much.” Sungmin nods and slightly nudge Eunhyuk to walk again. “Call me Hyukjae from now on.”
“Ok..” Sungmin nods again, “Was that why you didn’t let Donghae and Kyuhyun know you as Eunhyuk?” This time, Eunhyuk nods. “But Hyukjae is my real name anyways, I should always go by that.” He smiles and Sungmin heave a sigh of relief.
“I’m still sorry though...” Sungmin started speaking again. “I didn’t treat you well enough when we were together and I really hurt your feelings when I broke it off with you.” He said in shame. “And when your parents didn’t want you, why didn’t you call me?” He asked.
Hyukjae shrugged. “Well, I knew you could do well in life and I didn’t want to be a burden. I mean, look at you now. You are a office worker and me, a simple barista.” He said sadly, looking down as Sungmin walked beside him.
“Hey! I take offense to that!” He joked, slapping a friendly hand onto Hyukjae’s back. “Both our boyfriends are baristas too.” He pouts, crossing his arms firmly on his chest in mock anger.
Hyukjae couldn’t resist the urge to laugh at his hyung’s aegyo. “Ok..” He retreats. “Kyuhyun and Donghae might both be baristas too but Donghae is not my boyfriend..” he said quite confidently until a soft quiver of his voice threw him off.
Sungmin sighed, thinking whether he should ask what happened between them. Screw his thinking, he will He looked at Hyukjae, hoping just maybe Hyukjae would tell him the whole story by himself but it didn’t seem that way.
“What happen between you and Donghae huh?” Sungmin asked casually, not wanting Hyukjae to feel insecure about talking to him.
“Sungmin..” Hyukjae stared at him intently, just from a moment before he turned away. “you are a nice guy, I know you would like to help me but I think I should solve this for myself. Save you the trouble because I know you will always put others before yourself.
Sungmin smiled to himself in embarrassment. Hyukjae was right, he always thought of others before himself. “That’s because I’m nice..” He mumbled and adjusted the bag on his shoulder.
“Yes you are..” Hyukjae replied, slapping a hand on Sungmin’s shoulder. “Go home.” He urged and Sungmin nodded like a small boy.
“Goodnight.”

“Don’t touch me!” Donghae half yelled as Kyuhyundragged him away. “Let me go!” He struggled in Kyuhyun’s hold before Kyuhyun just let him go and dropped him onto the ground.
Donghae winced in pain and rubbed his bottom, only to see the culprit laughing away happily.
“Idiot.” Donghae gritted as Kyuhyun pulled him up from the ground.
“Come on Hyung.” Kyuhyun laughed as he swung an arm over the shorter male’s shoulder. “Let’s go home. Sungmin hyung will take care of Hyukjae hyung so you don’t have to worry.” Kyuhyun smirked, and pulled Donghae towards their respective houses.
Donghae allowed Kyuhyun to drag him for about 50 metres then deciding that it would better to walk by himself. He stepped into speed beside Kyuhyun, nudging the younger from his daze. “How well does Sungmin Hyung know Hyukjae?”
“Very well.” Kyuhyun responded, “They use to date..” Kyuhyun said offhandedly. Donghae eyes widen, he jerked Kyuhyun back with a pull of his arm. “They use to what?!” He yelled, causing some people to stare at them.
“Not so loud!” Kyuhyun hushed, “They dated.. So what?” he asked.
Donghae spluttered. “Y-you d-don’t mind?” he asked, shaking his head in disbelief. Kyuhyun simply shook his head. “Nope.” He said as a reply. “I don’t see anything wrong, what had happened has happened.”
“Since when did you become such a good talker?” Donghae teased, bumping butts with Kyuhyun as they crossed the streets. “You believe Sungmin Hyung wouldn’t cheat on you?”
Kyuhyun nodded his head confidently, “He wouldn’t. Plus, Hyukjae hyung has you now.” He added playfully, returning the bump with another one. Donghae groaned inwardly, he couldn’t consider Hyukjae his boyfriend if they were not even on talking terms right?
“You make it sound like we are in a perfect relationship.” Donghae sighed dejectedly, shoving his hands into his pocket. “I don’t know what went wrong... we were happy and talking then all of a sudden, he doesn’t speak to me, he doesn’t respond to my calls and everything!” He fussed, scratching his head in frustration.
“Don’t worry.. Sungmin hyung is good at getting information out of people.” Kyuhyun smiled, leading Donghae to smile back at him.
