3 AM. He was seated on the couch facing the flat screen TV hanging on the wall. All that could be heard from around the room were the shhs and the zzzs the TV made. Donghae stared blankly at the pink-haired anime boy talking behind the glass of the screen. He had lost track of how long he had been sitting there wasting electricity. He had only started watching the anime playing as of the moment a few hours ago and he didn’t even know what episode he was watching anymore. His mind had been blank the whole time. Just when he was about to pass out from the excess blankness in his head, the doorbell went off. He let out a grunt as he threw the bowl of popcorn previously sitting on his lap to the cushions, realizing seconds later that it wasn’t empty like he thought it was. The bell rang again. He grunted again, more exasperatedly than the last time. “Just when I didn’t want to be bothered.” He scrambled towards the door and opened it quickly; readying all the curses he could think of for the person who paid a visit in the fucking middle of the night.
“Hae,” Eunhyuk breathed in between pants. He leaned against the side of the doorway obviously exhausted.
Donghae blinked, all swears he readied gone. He stared blankly at Eunhyuk, not knowing what to do. He was afraid that if he said the wrong word or moved the direction, Eunhyuk would beat the shit out of him. “I haven’t packed your stuff yet,” he managed to utter.
Eunhyuk straightened up, his chest still rising and falling inconsistently. He looked at Donghae quizzically. He pulled Donghae by the collar and continued his panting into the latter’s mouth, pushing the two of them into the house in the process. He closed the door with his foot.
Donghae allowed himself to be pushed around (literally) by Eunhyuk as he stared wide eyed at the blankness behind the latter’s back. Next thing he knew, he was pushed down his bed, Eunhyuk still breathing into his mouth. Finally getting a hold of himself, he gripped Eunhyuk’s shoulders and switched their positions so that he was on all fours on top of his lover. He pulled their faces away. “So does this mean you’re forgiving me?”
“Only if you satisfy me,” the boy at the bottom teased. Not wasting any more time, he pulled Donghae back down.
Donghae gave Eunhyuk’s lips a peck. He smiled, “I missed you.”
&smut&
Yesung woke up the next day with the unfamiliar feeling of emptiness. He had lived with it for so long yet he felt so unused to it. He ran his hand through the empty space beside him where Ryeowook was supposed to be in. Just then he recognized the smell of something cooking and the sounds of clanking. Psyched, he hurriedly stood up and walked briskly towards his kitchen, expecting Ryeowook to be there.
“Good morning,” school uniform clad Sungmin turned around to face Yesung with a smile.
Yesung blinked, not knowing how to feel. “Good morning,” he uttered sleepily. He pulled out a chair from under the dining table and settled himself there. “How long did I sleep?”
“Let’s see,” Sungmin said loud enough for Yesung to hear against the cracking sound of boiling cooking oil. “Around fifteen hours, I think.”
“Oh,” the older man rested his head on the table.
“I’m off,” Sungmin set the bowl on the table and untied the laces of the pink apron (God knows where it came from) he was wearing. “See you!” he ran towards the door energetically with a smile on his face.
Yesung didn’t respond to what Sungmin said. His head stayed in his palms for a second then he looked up, not hearing the door thud like he expected. “Sungmin?” he called. Not receiving a response, he stood up and walked towards the main door. “Oh my God, Sungmin!”
&&
Ryeowook nudged Kyuhyun. He was ignored for the latter kept trying to figure out the solution to the almost impossible math sentence written on the board. “Kyu,” he whispered but still received no response. “Kyuhyun!” he whined, shaking Kyuhyun by the arm.
“Aish!” Kyuhyun exasperatedly tilted his head towards the smaller boy, “What is it?”
Ryeowook pouted. Kyuhyun had never been that unforgiving with him, “I have this bad feeling in my stomach. It’s weird.”
The taller boy rolled his eyes and shifted his attention back to what he was doing. For some reason, he was feeling it too. He tried to keep himself from being bothered about it.
“Meanie,” Ryeowook uttered as he went back the Math problem he was supposed to be answering. Just when his eyes were about to roll to the back of his head seeing the complicated sentence, his phone rang. “Because I can't sleep ‘til you're next to me. No I can't live without you no more!” he widened his eyes, mentally slapping himself for not switching his phone profile to silent. He agitatedly pulled his phone from his right side pocket and pressed the red button. He looked back up, realizing that everyone in the classroom turned their heads at him.
“Ryeowook-ssi,” the ahjussi in front said, “Please turn that off.”
“Mianhe,” Ryeowook said, embarrassed. With that, everyone went back to what they were doing. He looked down to check who the caller was. Just when he was about to press the call button to check the call log, someone called again and he accidentally answered. The phone screen displayed Yesung’s name and Ryeowook immediately hung up. He put his phone back into his pocket and sighed. He tried to put his attention back to what he was previously doing, but all he could think of was the reason behind Yesung calling him. Maybe he wants to say sorry, Ryeowook thought. His phone vibrated and he sighed, thinking it was another call. He noted that it vibrated only three times, meaning it was a message.
‘Rywk. Cn u cum 2 Asan hsptl? Ts Sungmin.’
Ryeowook widened his eyes at the message and not at Yesung’s slightly peculiar misusage of the word ‘cum.’ He tried to ponder what the message that could be from either Yesung or Sungmin was trying to say, hoping it wasn’t what he thought it was.
&&
Yesung slipped out of the ward the moment the nurses attended to unconscious Sungmin. He didn’t even bother asking what his complication was. It’s not that he didn’t care; he just thought that he didn’t need to know.
He passed by a group of female students on his way out the hospital. He stared at them as he walked, thinking about something without knowing what it was. The students gave him weird looks and walked away, uttering “Pedo.”
“Jongwoon?” he heard someone call him from behind as he stepped out of the building. He didn’t have time to widen his eyes in familiarization of who owns the voice. He turned around.
Yesung finally had the chance to widen his eyes. He was out of breath for a while as he stared at the little beyond perfect figure standing in front of him. “Si-Siwon,” he managed to utter, still wide eyed. He was either stunned at the old “friend’s” appearance improvement or was surprised that the man was still alive.
Siwon smiled at him, flashing his cute dimple at the other man. “Jongwoonie,” he took still stunned Yesung into his arms, intending a friendly hug, “Where have you been? I’ve missed you!” he didn’t even give the weird looks the few people around the area shot them any mind.
“U-uhm,” Yesung patted Siwon in the back nervously, “Yeah. I’ve… missed you too.”
The taller man finally let him out of his arms, but he didn’t fully let go. He gripped Yesung by the arms and stared at his face with an amused expression, “Did you know that one of the reasons I’m here is to look for you?”
“Really?” Yesung gaped at Siwon. He ran his hand around the back of his head, thinking of what to say, “You shouldn’t have.”
Siwon grinned; it was obvious that he was extremely happy. He slid beside Yesung and pulled him by the waist, earning an extremely uncomfortable look from the latter - which he did not notice. “Come on, we have a lot of catching up to do!”
&&
“That’ll be 3,000 won,” Ryeowook’s head snapped up. He didn’t realize he was where he asked to be. His was thinking about something else so deeply that he didn’t even notice that he was already in the cab. He pulled his wallet out his pocket, slid out three 1000 won notes, and handed them to the driver-ahjussi.
He stepped out of the car and bowed towards the driver. When the cab left, he took his time to stare at the tall hospital building. “I wonder why hyung and Yesungie are here,” he cringed after he said that. Thinking about his brother and lover together made him feel weird. It made him regret ever deciding to stay with Kyuhyun and leaving his brother with his first love in the first place.
Getting over the thought, he dialed Yesung’s number. He hesitated on pressing the call button. “Aish,” he locked his phone, “Why should I talk to him when he hasn’t even apologized yet?” He unlocked his phone again and decided to call Sungmin. “The number you have dialed cannot be reached at this time. Please try again later. Meanwhile, why don’t you just leave a message after the beep?” Ryeowook pulled the phone away from his ear and looked at it less than happily. “Maybe I should just walk in and ask whether there’s a Sungmin or Yesung inside,” he told himself, “Yeah. I should do that.”
Walking the few meters to the hospital, he passed by a café connected to it. There was one specific customer who caught his attention. He slid behind one of the tall ornaments lining the glass windows of the café and observed the person. “Yesung,” he whispered.
Yesung was inside the café, sitting alone without a drink. He was staring at nothing in particular.
‘What’s he doing here?’
Just when Ryeowook thought he was alone, a man he didn’t know went towards him holding a cup of coffee in each hand. He set one on Yesung’s side of the table and settled himself on the wooden chair aligning him.
&&
“So,” Siwon started after he took his first sip off his freshly brewed coffee, “How have you been?”
“I’m fine… I guess,” Yesung stared at the mug Siwon set in front of him, wondering whether he should drink it or not, “What brought you here?”
Siwon grinned, “I looked for you.”
“…besides that,” Yesung finally decided to take a sip off the coffee he was served.
“Well,” the taller man took another sip off his coffee, “I’m debuting as a model here.”
Yesung blinked. Somehow he was glad that the coffee hasn’t made its way into his mouth or else he would’ve blown hot liquid out at Siwon’s perfect face. “Really?”
Siwon nodded, a self-satisfied smile on his face.
“That’s great!” The poker face Yesung had been keeping on all along turned into a smile. “I’m finally going to have a celebrity cousin,” he grinned, clapping his hands.
The soon to be model looked down at his mug, trying to get his thoughts together and forming them into words. “Do you know why I’m doing this?”
Yesung shook his head.
“Remember when you told me you wanted to get married to someone famous?” Siwon’s smile disappeared. He looked serious, so much that his eyes were pretty much boring into Yesung’s.
Yesung mentally widened his eyes - he didn’t want to offend Siwon by physically doing so.
“Yesungie… I came here to be with you.”
&&
“Ryeong,” Kyuhyun stood from his seat, still in his school uniform.
“Kyu,” Ryeowook looked at him from head to toe, noting what he was wearing. “It’s early.”
"You left school earlier than I did," the younger boy chuckled mockingly, "What was that about?"
Ryeowook looked down at his feet with a flat smile on his face. He walked towards Kyuhyun and sat on the couch the latter stood from. "I saw Yesung down at the hospital earlier."
The smirk on Kyuhyun's face turned into an interested expression, "Really? So did you work things out?"
Ryeowook shook his head, "No. He was with another guy." His smile stayed on his face, but it became sadder, "I kinda eavesdropped on them. They were talking about something related to marriage," he paused, keeping the tears from escaping his tear ducts. "Maybe he's the reason he snarled at me the other day. Maybe he found someone else and did it to get rid of me."
Kyuhyun looked at his best friend with a sympathetic expression. As much as he wanted to say that it probably wasn’t what he thought it was, he didn’t know for sure whether it really wasn’t. He stretched out his arms and hugged Ryeowook, causing the latter to finally break down into tears. He patted his back as he whispered comforting words to his ear. He suddenly felt like an older brother to Ryeowook, remembering how warm it felt in his sister's arms, how freely he could cry when he was around her, and her habit of continuously whispering "It's okay" and making him laugh soon after.
Kyuhyun tried to think of a way to make his best friend laugh, "Stop crying. Let's buy bunnies together later, okay?"
But Ryeowook didn't stop his squalling.
All Kyuhyun could do at the moment was stroke Ryeowook's back and whisper "It's okay." "You shouldn't have gone to the hospital. Why did you go there, anyway?"
Ryeowook stopped crying. His eyes were still teary, but he stopped crying. He widened his eyes, realization dawning up upon him. "He did say something about Sungmin-hyung," was the last sentence of the paragraph written on his mind.

durrrr! I have finally updated x_X
Sorry it was late.. I waited for sseulmo-eobsneun oppa to write the smut... lol I can't possibly write smut that long o.o and he's a guy, I'm not so he knows more about these things than I do... but i did write about IDK 40% of it? lol so probably 40% of it sucked dahahahahaha xDD
Lol and just so you know, I kept on debating with myself on whether I should f-lock it or not lol.. I guess I probably shouldn't cos most of my readers aren't my friends lol.
Sorry if it sucked x_X .. I really didn't know what to do with this chapter OTL.. and about the grammar errors... think of it as a normal thing for Janni. And this is unbeta-ed .. I'll beta when my eyes get better lol.
Oh and I have absolutely no idea why the spacing after the paragraphs is that big. It usually isn't o.o . It's probably because I wrote this chapter using my mom's laptop 'cos mine forgot that it was a PC.
Have you guys seen that Sungmin's kissing scene (?) on President?
idk i just felt like breaking your hearts looooooooooooooooooool! omo the way he smiled *melts* and shot back like "lol bieetch got what ya want?! you enjoyed that dincha?!" and lol at how the girl reacted... if he kissed me I probably wouldn't even be able to move anymore. x_X guhh this is so heart breaking.. not because I want to be the girl or anything... it's heartbreaking because the girl isn't who Sungmin should be kissing.
anyways.. I just wanna say happy birthday to Siwon-oppa, Hankyung-oppa, and Sooyoung x) ..
I hope you enjoyed? Dahaha xDD
