EunHyuk’s POV [Part 3]
And now, it’s time. Here we go, once again. I have to follow him and fast!
“Finally!” I said to myself. It’s been a long day, and as I look at my seatmate who is still on his own thoughts, blaming himself for making me sigh all day, I feel guilty. I have to explain to him about that though, but how am I supposed to do that? Write him a letter that says, Dear My Donghae? Or, My Lovely Donghae, How are you? I’m fine, thank you and you? Nah! I would never do that. As if I could even do that! I was about to sigh when his puppy eyes just pop out on my mind making me swallow back my breath, letting the air runs through my nose and out. I wasn’t thinking. If I ever let out a sigh again in front of him, that would be the very end of my conscience. I would be forever guilty and he will always use his puppy eyes at me to make me feel guilty even more. Agh! I don’t want to think about that anymore! I’ve got some explaining to do with him right?
I turned around to face him and swallowed. God, please help me!
“Um,” I started. Getting nervous and all, I forgot everything I have to say. And before I could even speak again, he stands up on his seat and leaves the room with a sad face.
I started to panic. Have I been that bad to Donghae? I mean it’s the first time he left the room on that expression. He’s always alive and happy, but I guess, not this time.
“You’re the worst, Eunhyuk.” I told myself and run to where Donghae might be right now.
I search to the crowd, trying to find him. Not caring about the students I got bump in with because all I care about right now is to find Donghae or I will never live another day.
“Where are you, Hae?” I keep asking myself while searching. “Damn it, Hae. Where did you go?” and panic starts to arise. I couldn’t even think clearly because of him. Where did he go anyway? He’s so fast.
I ended up at the school gate and finally found him, still on that expression and that gloomy atmosphere covering above his head. I run after him, trying to catch him up but then stop after a moment when a question suddenly pops out my brain: ‘What will you do when you finally catch him up? Explain to him everything and go? Or Say sorry first then explain everything and finally go home and spend the weekends worry free?’ What should I do?
I’ve been too engrossed on my own thoughts that I forgot Donghae for awhile.
After a moment or so, I finally came up with a solution: I’ll cross the bridge when I get there; after debating with my own self, I look around to see where Donghae right now is, but I cannot see him anymore.
“Damn, Eunhyuk! Where did he go this time? It’s your own fault for daydreaming!” I cursed myself while searching for that sneaky fish again. Why he’s so fast at walking? He’s a fish! Tsk!
I search for him again through the sea of students who’s also making their way home.
……………………
I was about to turn left at One Way street to check if he might turned left there, when suddenly I heard a voice that stop me from walking and made me start to panic again.
“What the, Yah! Aren’t you looking? Am I not big enough for you, huh?” the big guy hissed. Well, he’s big. I mean, his belly is so big that when he’s moving, it is moving too, bouncing up and down. And before I get myself engrossed on that bouncing belly of his, Donghae was, just standing there, not moving an inch and not even looking at the guy.
“I’m in big trouble.” Smack my head and went to where he was and “rescue” him. Well, not the thing that will kick the big belly guy’s ass but the safest rescue I always do when someone tries to bully my friends.
“I’m so sorry, Ajusshi. Promise, it will never happen next time.” Bowing on a 90 degrees angle, I accidentally hit my head on his belly making my head bounces back at me. ‘Ouch’, I said to myself not because my head hit his belly but because my head almost flip back that made my neck hurts. If ever I did plan on punching him anyway, it will be no use. It will only bounce back at me. Fats! It sure knows how to protect his organs, huh?
After that, I took Donghae’s left hand and run as far as we can go. And keeps on running while holding his hand tightly making sure he will never escape and hide to me again.
I was still on my thoughts of running, when I heard Donghae said something that made me stop.
“I think we’re far enough now, stop running. I can’t breathe anymore.” He said while panting. That’s the cue for me to stop what I am doing and look at him. He really is out of breath.
Looking at him, catching for air makes me drool again and end up daydreaming.
………………
“Hyuk, Hyukkie breathe.” I heard him say on my dream. Echoing the nickname ‘Hyukkie’ makes me fly up above the clouds, hug the pillows of heaven and feel his lovely scent in the air. Hmm, he smells so lovely! He’s so lovely.
“Hyukkie, aren’t you going to breathe? Ya! Do you want to die early? Breathe, Hyukkie, breathe!” and he shook my body that made me conscious again.
I let out a big, ‘aaahhh’ and finally catch for air.
………………………
“Yah! Lee Hyukjae! Are you out of your mind?! You got me worried back there! Don’t ever pull that stunt again, understand?!” Donghae hissed at me. Did I hear it right? Is he worried about me? And he said my full name. People who are close to me calls me that because in school, i prefer them to call Eunhyuk.
“You’re worried about m-me?” I ask him again. I just want to make sure he said those words.
“Who wouldn’t be anyway? When you stood there like a mummy, not even breathing. Of course I am worried about you. I thought you will definitely leave me this soon. Thank God, He still doesn’t need you there in heaven. Promise me you’ll never pull that stunt again, okay?” and ever so lovingly smiled at me.
“Louder.” I answered.
“Huh?” he replied.
“C-can you, Can y-ou say those w-words again?” I pleaded to him looking at the ground.
My heart is pounding so fast that I can’t hear him clearly. I might be dreaming again. My face is oh so red now. Why did he say those things to me anyway if I was right? He just made me fall in love with him over again. I hate you Lee Donghae. For making me do all these things. I hate you.
……………….
I heard him chuckle.
“It’s o-okay if you don’t want to s-say it again. I don’t mind.” Damn it. I’m buckling up. As much as I want to hear it again, maybe it was too much to ask since he did save my life for daydreaming back there.
“Oh! Hyukkie, But I do mind.” He said teasingly. “You want me to repeat that, do you?”
He’s now in front of me, holding my shoulder with his two hands and finally pinches me on the wall, he asks again.
“Hyukkie, I’m asking you again, do you want me to repeat those words again or not? This is the last time I’m going to ask you so take it or leave it.” He said in a serious tone.
“I.. I..” What will I tell him then? That I want to hear it so badly? That will only make me look an easy-to-get. No. No. if I ask him to repeat that again, that means, I’ll be found out. Nooooo… I can’t be found out that easily. I would never ever confess to him about my feelings. NEVER!!! Think Eunhyuk! THINK!!!
I inhaled lots of air and build up my strength and finally take his hands out of my shoulder and move aside so that he can’t corner me anymore. I swallowed first and tried to talk without buckling.
“I already said it Hae. I-I mean, Donghae. I don’t mind. I just thought you were joking around so I ask you to say those words again.” he looks at me deceivingly. He didn’t buy it. I’m sure of it.
“Really, Donghae. I’m saying the truth. Believe me.” I tried to smile.
“You know you’re not good at lying, Hyukkie. So stop it. But since you insist it, then fine. It’s your own fault anyway.” and walks away, heading to the direction of his house.
I just followed him.
……………
“Hey Hyukkie, what are you doing back there, anyway? Daydreaming? It almost killed you, you know.” He said without even looking at me. He’s talking about me being coma for a second.
What will I tell him? That I was daydreaming about him calling me on that nickname? No can do. He will definitely laugh at me when he finds out.
“I just forgot to breathe there for a second, you know.” And thinking he will took it, no.
“Very funny Hyukkie. Even though I don’t see you from here, I know you’re lying. Stupid, you think you can fool me?” and finally face me while walking backwards. I just look away.
“And I’m not stupid!”
“Yes you are!”
And that’s my cue to chase after him. After a moment of chasing, we’re now finally in front of his house.
“Do you want to come inside? It’s almost dinner Hyukkie.” He asks me with a smile together with his puppy eyes.
How couldn’t I resist to him when he’s using my greatest weakness? But I guess, not now. I stop my urge to accept it and start to walk away from him.
“Thanks Hae-, I mean Donghae. Maybe some other time then.” And wave back at him with one hand, the other on the sleeves of my pocket.
I was about to run after that when I remembered something I have to say to him. I stop; look at him if he’s still there, and yes he still is. I called him.
“Lee Donghae!” I screamed.
“Yes?” he replied
“You better listen because I will only say this just once, okay?”
“Okay? What is it then?”
I walk back backwards but not so close, about 10 meters away from where I was earlier so that he can hear me clearly. We’re about 5 meters away from each other.
I’m scared to see his reaction, so I started without even looking at him.
“Donghae… MIANHAE! I’ve been sighing all the time in front of you. I didn’t mean to really. It’s my entire fault that you had to encounter that big belly guy in the first place. And you almost died because of me. I’m sorry again. Forgive me!”
I swallowed my pride and just let my heart talk. I took some courage and add what I really wanted to say.
“So please don’t be sad anymore. I don’t want to see you like that ever again.” and raised my left hand again, waving.
“Bye, Hae.” I whispered and finally walk away from his home.
~~~~~~
*Tonight, a candle lights the room
Tonight, it’s only me and you
Your skin like gravity
Is pulling every part of me
I fall, you and I collide
And what if I stay forever
What if there's no goodbye
Frozen for a moment here in time, yeah
If you tell me the sky is falling
We'll see that the stars collide
The only thing that matters in my life
Is you and I tonight
Our eyes close, the candle burns away
But I know the fire still remains
This love is all we need
We fit together perfectly
I fall, you and I collide
I want to give all for you…
~~~~~~
“I think I’m going to have a nice weekend this week.”
And finally end the weekdays with a smile on my face as I went home.
………………..
It was absolutely a nice day to start the weekend. But I guess not anymore. Early this morning, Sungmin invaded my room without my permission. Telling me to wake up and asking me about yesterday.
“Min, go home! I’m sleeping can’t you see?” Sungmin’s starting to piss me off again this early. Doesn’t he have something to do on weekends aside from disturbing me?
“No! Lee Hyukjae! You have to tell it to me now! So wake up already! And do you remember asking me to massage your neck again yesterday before you and Donghae disappear?”
I just groan from irritation and finally rest myself in a seating position on my bed.
“I hate you Minnie.” I said pouting. I was about to save Donghae from the dark witch Heechul who kidnap him from my dream before this pink guy disturb it and wakes me up.
“Nah, Hyuk. You can’t hate me. So hurry up because your mom’s already preparing breakfast. C’mon.” and he didn’t waste time and drags me to the dining room.
Yes. I can’t hate this pink bunny guy here. Though he loves pink so much, I can’t hate him. He’s my best friend ever since I was a child together with Eeteuk Hyung. And absolutely, nothing will ever change. They will be forever my best friends.
-----------------------
Apparently, for the past few days, all I did was watching him from behind, following him whenever he went with my eyes and neck, elongating them when my eyes don’t reach him anymore. And it hurts when I do that so I always ask Sungmin to do martial arts (massaging to be exact) on my neck. And to add another pain, my neck is hurting so much because of that big belly guy from yesterday.
“Ah! Ah! Minnie! Take it easy! It hurts! Ahhh!” Exclaiming the last part because he pinches my neck and now it turns red. We’re now in my room again, Sungmin massaging my neck pain.
“It’s good for you, stalker boy! It’s your reward for stalking him like that. What kind of a stalker you are when all you do is to stare at him, follow his movements and smell his scent that you said you fell in love with, behind his back?! And now to top it all off, you almost got a broken neck from that big guy! Oh! Hyuk! Look at you! What did he do to make you like this?”
Minnie is exaggerating everything. Though he’s not against it, but he’s not happy looking at me hurting myself like that. It’s just that I didn’t know what to do and that’s the least I could do at the moment. An inexperience ‘stalker’ I am.
“Minnie, we both know that it’s my first time doing these so please bear with me just this one, okay? And how many times to I have to repeat myself to you that it was my fault that I got an almost broken neck in the first place?”
“It’s still his fault for dazing off like that.”
“Min, don’t say that. It’s also my fault he dazed off that time.”
“Even so… Lee Hyukjae! And don’t try to defend his side. I’m still mad at him for doing this to you. And you know it’s his fault too.”
“Okay Min, let’s just drop this conversation okay? I don’t want to fight with you. And please, Minnie, don’t be mad at him. Please? For me?”
“Huh. You really love him, don’t you Hyukjae? But, does he love you back?”
“Yes and I don’t know. And I don’t want to know. Okay? I’m okay with the One-sided love for him. So don’t worry.” And sigh. Honestly, I’m just too scared to know the answer. I don’t know what will happen to me when I told him I love him and he will say he doesn’t love me back. Maybe I’ll die. And I sighed again.
“Oh, Hyuk. You have to confess to him sooner or later. You don’t want to go crazy, right? I’ll help you. But promise me one thing; you will never follow him like that again, okay?”
“You’ll help me? Really Min? Thanks! In exchange, I’ll make Kyuhyun ask you to the upcoming prom. How about that?” and smile at him with my gummy smile.
“No, Hyuk. Maybe I’ll just change my mind then. Kyuhyun and I are different story okay? You should just concentrate your attention on your own love story and not mine. You have to make a plan.”
“I know Min, but I’m not giving the offer down.” and bury myself in thoughts.
……………………….
I kind of lost my courage the first time I tried to. The only time and I thought would be the last time I would follow him outside the school was when he went to the Music Store (about 50 meters away from school) and the only time I also lost track of him too. I attempted to follow him about 3 times outside the school but I always failed to do so. Sometimes, I don’t get to see him after class and there are also other instances that I’m not available because Sungmin got me as a member of the Drama Club where he also belongs and always reasons out when I tries to complain, “You need time for yourself, Hyuk. You need to take it easy or you will go crazy.” And I just let him drag me to the hallway.
That’s the very least I can do as a stalker.
Honestly, I don’t know any more if I should still continue my “Project Stalking” or not. Because, one, I don’t really know about stalking someone. Two, my Hyungs just categorized me as one when in the first place I was not really. Okay, I do look at him wherever he went that still beyond my eyes’ reach but not always. And I’m just doing it whenever he’s not looking, specifically when I’m facing his back. So I am not totally guilty. And lastly, because love and stalking are two different words. Love is when you give everything to that person, doing everything for that person and making that person happy all the time. Giving all you have got and not expecting any in return. While stalking is kind of an obsession that turns into hate and envy when not appreciated and acknowledged.
But unfortunately, I still didn’t do anything for him. Yet. First, I don’t have anything to give to him. I am not a rich person you see. My love for him is the only thing I could offer but not having the courage is the problem. I’m scared that when I finally found the strength to confess my feelings for him, he would only laugh at me, denied me and worst, when he would say, ‘I don’t love you’ back. And that sucks! Second, though I can say that I did save him yesterday from that big belly guy but that doesn’t count anymore because I am the reason why he encountered him in the first place. Maybe the conversation we had the other day? Or not? Honestly, I am not doing anything for him because I always ignore him, that’s why. So here, I am totally guilty. I just realized that ignoring him won’t do anymore. Building a concrete wall to escape and hide my feelings for him is stupid. It will only cause another pain in my heart whenever I would see him sad. Well, I did learn yesterday. That making him sad is also bad for my heart so I won’t do anything stupid anymore.
…………………………………..~~
“What will I do then?” my brain said.
“Make him happy, you idiot!” said my heart.
Thinking of ways to make him happy…
“What will I do to make him happy then? My brain asks again.
“Are you really a Brain? Should we switch places, you like? Because you’re an idiot that’s why! If you want to make him happy, there’s only one thing you can do.”
“What is it then? Tell me Heart.” Brain pleads.
“It’s so chicken Brain. You don’t have any clue right? I’m going to ask you, what is the first thing you do when we switch places? You in my place and I am there in your place.”
“Um, think?” Brain answered.
“Haay.. And I thought you were a Brain. Stupid! I’ll give you the credit though since you’re a Brain. But that’s not the right answer. When we exchange places, even our ways of doing will change as well. I will be the one who thinks and you will be the one who beats. Get it?” Heart is now losing his patience.
“Yes. But that doesn’t answer my question though.” Brain’s getting confused already.
“Silly, I am still not finished can’t you see? Here’s the real question: what will you do when you see the person you love sad and you think of ways to make him happy, what will you do?”
“Heart, you’re really heartless sometimes, you know. You may be the sweetest and lovable but you are also cold and hateful. Cursing me and all, and now you’re throwing another question to my question. What is it you really want with me, huh?”
“Sorry. It’s just you didn’t get my point even though you’re a Brain, you know. I just wanted you to know the answer because you should not forgot anymore what to do. I’m trying to help you here can’t you see?”
“There is no relevance in the two questions you said anyway. So what is it then? Stop beating around the bush, Heart. Tell it to me now.”
“Exactly!”
“Okay. Okay. Impatient, are we? If that time comes… here’s all you need to do… whisper… whisper… whisper…”
………………………………..
“Ouch!” I Shouted out and finally I am back to being conscious again. I glare at the one who smack me on the head and found out it was Eeteuk Hyung. And he’s laughing at me.
“It hurts Hyung.” I said pouting.
“Because you’re daydreaming again stalker boy.” And laugh again.
“I am not a stalker boy! And what are you doing here anyway? I never remembered calling you, Hyung.”
“Sungmin did because he doesn’t know what to do with you anymore.”
“Minnie! He will just give me more sermon and less advices! Agh! I hate you two!” and pout again.
……………..
Yes. Eeteuk Hyung always gives sermons first before giving the answer to your problem. He’s always like that since childhood. When he gives advices, it will always be right and accurate. But I’m scared to listen to his advices right now. The last advice he gave me was, “If you love him, then, corner him on the side and kiss him already! He will be thrilled, of course, but he will give in, that’s for sure.” And laugh as he left. Well,
sometimes, his advices are definitely, um, out of this world especially when he’s on the mood to tease. And I’m the one who’s always available.
I sighed. As much as I want to leave my room, I can’t. He will be triple mad at me when I do that. So I just let my ears ready. ~Enter on the right, exit on the left~. That’s what I am going to do.
“Hyuk. It’s alright. I will not nag at you right now. I’m not in the mood to talk today. So you’re free. I just wanted to spend the weekends with you two, so I came here.”
“Anyways, the answer to your ‘Love problem’ is this, you have to let go and free your heart, Hyuk. Because the more you’re keeping your feelings hidden, the more it will burst out of you. You don’t want to be found out without confessing first, right?”
“But how will I do that, Hyung?”
“Do things that will make both of you happy. Gets?”
“No?” he asks after a moment without getting a reply.
I nodded.
“Well, kids, don’t ask anymore question. I don’t want to talk too much today right? You’ll get it when the time comes Hyuk.” He patted me.
“Hyuuung!” I exclaim and pout. His Hyung is really something. What will I do that can make both of us happy? Chat with him or something? And I being transparent like they say, I will be found out if I do what Eeteuk Hyung has said earlier. What should I do?
“Come Guys. Let’s buy your favorite food. I’ll treat you out.” Eeteuk Hyung said and finally left the room.
“Now, Hyuk, don’t worry about it anymore. I’ll help you.” Sungmin said
“Really, Min?” I replied with puppy eyes.
“Um, without involving Kyuhyun, okay?”
“Um, I’ll think about it.” And drags him out of the room and follow our Hyung.
…………………………
‘Something I could do to make us both happy, huh? But I should never ever let him found out my feelings for him.’ I said to myself and started making my plan.
And I spent the rest of the weekend making my plan and I call it: “Monkey Business: I smell something Fishy” and EVIL laugh. Bu~wa~ha~ha~ha!!!
…………………..
Now, weekends are finally over. I’ve been waiting for this to come. I must do what I must do! A tale for a tale! I’m not the ‘Stalker boy’ anymore. I am now the ‘Fishy Monkey’ and everything I planned starts here. *evil laugh*
…………………………..
The bell finally rang that says classes are now starting and every student must now go to their respective classrooms and wait for their teachers to come.
I on the other hand, was not waiting for our teacher but was waiting for Donghae to come. He’s sure is late today.
But until the classes are finally over, Donghae didn’t show up. And it frustrates me! After doing so much effort on my plan, it is now useless. The courage is gone. I have no more strength to do any more of this!
‘Agh! Lee Donghae! I’m going to fry you when I see you! You’ll see.’ I said to myself with anger.
“Hyuk, Donghae’s absent because he’s sick. I ask Kibum about him. ‘Told you that I will help you right?”
Sungmin said while tapping me.
“Thanks Min.” I replied while pouting. Is he sick or he’s scared to see me?
“Hyuk, aren’t you going to visit him?” Minnie asks
“Huh? Why would I? I mean, I don’t know what to say to him.”
“Silly, I’ll come with you, don’t worry. Come, let’s go.” And again drags me out of the room.
…………………….
~~~~~~~~~~~
*Strange maze, what is this place?
I hear voices over my shoulders.
Nothing’s making sense at all.
Wonder, why do we race?
And every day were running in circles.
Such a funny way to fall.
Try to open up my eyes
I’m hopin’ for the chance to make it alright.
When I wake up
The dream isnt done
I wanna see your face and know I made it home.
If nothing is true
What more can I do?
I am still painting flowers for you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Good afternoon Mrs. Lee. We’re here to visit Donghae, Ma’am. By the way, we are his classmates.” Sungmin said and we bowed to Donghae’s mother.
“Oh! Visitors of my son! Welcome! Omo? You must be Lee Hyukjae, am I right sweetie? My son told me about you. Thank you for taking him home last week.” And hug me.
“Um, y-your, um, w-welcome Ma’am.” And awkwardly hug her back.
“And you must be Lee Sungmin.” She turns her attention to Sungmin and hugs him also. “You’re so cute! Q will definitely fall for you!”
“Who’s Q?” Sungmin look at me, asking who this Q is. Well, I don’t have any idea who he is. So I replied him by shrugging my shoulders and mouthed, ‘I don’t know either.’
“Come, come inside now. And I’ll tell my son you two are here.” And we finally went inside and get shock to find Kyuhyun is also here, sitting prettily on the couch.
“Kyuhyun, h-hello.” I said awkwardly. Because he seems to find it odd that we’re here to visit Donghae.
“Hi Min and Eunhyuk. It’s so nice for both of you to come here.” Kyuhyun said and smile while looking at Sungmin. And that made the latter blush.
“We’re um, um, just saying ‘get well soon’ to him and we will leave afterwards.” I answered nervously.
“Um, yeah. He’s right. So shall we leave now Hyuk?" Sungmin eyed me that say we should leave now.
But a voice coming from the stairs interrupt our supposedly escape and freeze.
“You’re already leaving, Hyukkie?” Donghae said and use his puppy eyes at me.
Damn those eyes! And as I look at him, he’s in a good condition now. So I guess, I didn’t have to say ‘get well soon’ to him anymore.
“Um, y-yes. And I see your fine now so we’re about to leave then.” I said without looking at him. And as I was about to grab Sungmin out and run, her mother stop us from leaving again.
“Oh, no, no, no. You two have to stay here. I’m almost done making our dinner. So you two should stay here and eat before you leave. And no more buts, okay?” and goes back again to the kitchen.
And we just both sigh.
……………
“Min, can you come with me to the convenient store near here? I have to buy something.” Kyuhyun said and didn’t waste any chance and grab Sungmin’s hand and leave the house.
So we’re alone now. We’re all alone now here in their living room. Just the two of us. What more can I ask for? And my heart starts to beat rapidly again.
“Thank you for saving me last week, Hyukkie.” Donghae said and smile at me.
“I-it’s nothing, r-really. I-I mean, don’t laugh at me. Please.” Because I remembered the things I have said to him last week and I am thinking he’s going to laugh at me.
He chuckled. “It’s okay. I am not going to laugh at you, silly. You’re so sweet, don’t you know that?” and that made me blush and he chuckled again as he saw my face all red.
“…And you’re very much forgiven. I will never be mad at you, Hyukkie. Remember that, okay?” and smiled at me again.
I’m in heaven!
“Okay…” I only said even though I didn’t understand what he meant by that.
…………………..
At the dinner table… Together with Donghae’s parents, him, us and Kyuhyun.
I was seating on the left of Donghae’s mother and beside me was Donghae while I am facing Sungmin on the right side together with Kyuhyun.
“Oh! Look at my sons! They have already got their boyfriends with them. Oh! Both of you are so cute! Call me mom from now on, okay?” Donghae’s mother just burst it out making us choke and cough at the thought.
“Honey! Don’t startle the kids like that. Do not try to lead them first. Be patient and let us wait for them to announce it before bursting out like that. And call me dad too, okay?” Donghae’s father said while looking at us with a bright smile on his face.
“Oh! You’re right, Honey. We have to wait for them. I’m so excited!”
“Mom! Dad!” Donghae and Kyuhyun exclaims to their parents. And that’s the only time we know that their siblings.
“What? We’re just trying to help you here, right Honey?”
“Right. So, did they ask you both to the prom yet? That we’ll be a week from now.” and look at us again. We only shook our head as a reply. We just couldn’t find what to say to their conversation. What is happening all of a sudden?
“Dad, let us do these on our own way, okay?” Donghae said.
“Okay son. As you said.” And Donghae’s father laughs so hard after that. And we finished our food with astonishment in our thoughts.
……….........
“Thanks for the meal, Mr. Lee, Mrs. Lee.” Sungmin and I chorused.
“You’re welcome boys. Donghae, Kyu, escort them outside. Both or you, take care on your way home, okay?”
“Yes, Ma’am. Thank you again.” and we went outside.
“Thank you again for dropping by. See you two tomorrow.” Donghae and Kyuhyun chorused.
“Thanks for the food. Anyways, um, is your nickname Q?” Sungmin asks
“Yes. My nickname’s Kyu. Why do you ask?” Kyuhyun replied.
“Um, n-nothing. We’ll see you guys tomorrow. Bye!” and Sungmin grabs me and leave the two of them.
“Bye Hyukkie!” I heard Donghae said. I just wave at him back.
‘I’ll see you then, Hae…’
……………………..
“So what’s with the nickname ‘Hyukkie’ huh?” Sungmin teases.
“And what’s with ‘Min’ Minnie, huh?” I teases back.
And we both blush remembering the events that happened earlier at Donghae’s house.
“Hyuk, I can’t help you anymore.” Sungmin said suddenly.
I stop walking and look at him.
“Why Min? I thought you’d help me?”
“Because you don’t need my help anymore, silly.” And he just laughs at me.
“What? Why? Because Kyu already ask you to the prom, is it?”
“You’ll find out soon. And yes, Kyu did ask me out and I said yes.” Sungmin said happily.
“I’m happy for you but I don’t get what you are saying about not helping me anymore.” Confused in Sungmin’s ‘You’ll find out soon’. I don’t really get any of it.
“Ask him, Hyuk. And definitely, you’ll find out what I am talking about.”
“But, But Minnie! How am I supposed to do that?” My thoughts are all in shambles now.
“Be brave, Hyuk. It’s now or never. And I think the prom is the best opportunity to tell him about your feelings. You only have 5 days to decide and ask him. Remember, the prom is on Saturday. I’ll see you tomorrow then.” And turned to the street where he lives and leave me in thoughts.
‘What should I dooooooooooooo?’ I screamed at myself and went home with whirlwind of thoughts surrounding me.
…………………………..
One day before the Prom…
“I’m going to ask him, I’m not going to ask him, I’m going to ask him, I’m not going to ask him, I… I am going to ask him.”
Huuuh. So this is it, huh, while looking at the flowers I had picked and pricked just to get an answer. Maybe I should do this or maybe not. Agh! Lee Hyukjae! Think! Get a hold of yourself and do this! Tomorrow is the Prom so it is really now or never! I should definitely ask him. But what if he’s been ask by the other students? Like… Kibum. KIBUM?! What should I doooooooooo?!
………………………...
“Hyuk, what’s with the dark clouds surrounding you?” I heard Eeteuk Hyung say.
“Hyuuung!!!” and embraced him to get some strength because I don’t know what to do anymore.
“You still didn’t ask him, am I right?" He asks and I just nodded. He’s right. I still didn’t ask him yet to the prom. And I have only an hour to do so. If not, it’s the end of me. Suddenly, tears fall down to my cheeks and I started to cry. Eeteuk Hyung just holds me and comforts me in his arms.
“You’re such a baby, don’t you know that? Crying like that makes you less handsome, Hyuk. So don’t cry anymore. I’m sure he’s been waiting for you all this time.”
“Are you sure, Hyung? Maybe Kibum ask him out before me and accepted him. I don’t want to embarrassed myself like that.” I replied while sobbing. And he smacks me on the head.
“Don’t be a coward, Eunhyuk. You’ll never know if you didn’t ask. So go, Hyuk. Minnie and I will be here for you no matter what happens. So go! You shouldn’t let him wait for you any longer. The clock is ticking. So hurry!” and pushes me to the door.
I look at my Hyung again and he just wave his hands at me as a reply, motioning I should go. And I just let out a big sigh and run to save my Heart.
………………………….
I found him at the gate once again. And he’s waiting for someone, I guess. “It’s not me, is it?” I said to myself. Let myself hurt over and over again.
I swallowed and shakingly walk towards to where he is. But before I could finally take another step, Kibum just appeared out of nowhere and he’s now talking to Donghae. After a moment or so, Kibum hugs him like he was comforting him or something. And it just ended less than a minute and finally the latter say goodbye to Donghae and left.
I just look away and turn from what I have witness. I look at my heart who is now broken and shattered. Maybe Kibum already ask him out, then. I should better leave. But when I was about to turn away, someone called me by the sweetest nickname I always love to hear.
“Hyukkie”
And finally faces him with all my might. I bravely look at him in the eyes and found out he was teary. He’s eyes are wet. Did he cry? Did Kibum made him cry?
“Um, a-are you crying?” I couldn’t help but to ask.
He wipes the forming tears away and ever so lovingly smiled at me. “No, Hyukkie. Something’s on my eyes earlier. Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
“Hey Hyukkie, I have something to say.” Donghae said after a moment of silence.
“Me too.” All I could say.
“Um,” he started and I panic. What if he tells me that he’s been ask by Kibum? No. I have to be brave enough to face my fears. I have to ask him first before I let my heart crushed by him the moment he will say those words.
“Me first H-hae.” I said while swallowing my pride. This is it, Eunhyuk! It is now or never!
“Um, Lee Donghae. Um” I just couldn’t put up my words. Damn it.
“What is it Hyukkie. Tell me. You don’t have to be shy. I will never laugh at you okay? I promise you that, right? His words are assuring me that it’s all right.
I sigh. ‘Again, Eunhyuk, It is now or never! Fighting!’ I said to myself.
“LEE DONGHAE! CAN YOU COME WITH ME TO THE PROM?” I burst out without even breathing. Yes! I finally said it. There. But I wonder what he is going to reply. And I look at him to see his face become serious and deep thoughts are now covering his head.
‘Did I say something bad to him? I only did ask him to the Prom.’ What should I do? Maybe Kibum already ask him and now… What should I doooo?!
“Louder” he said, still on that expression. Didn’t I make it loud enough for him not to hear what I just did say?
“Huh?” I replied back. I still don’t get him why he’s asking me that. I made it loud enough that cause people to stare at us when I said that.
“Repeat everything you have said. Hurry, before I’ll lose my mind.” He said. And now, he’s holding my shoulders again. Similar to what happen a week ago. Though there were no walls surrounding us, only the grasses on the ground.
“Um, o-okay.” I replied. I will not be a chicken anymore. I have to say it again even though it will hurt me twice in the end. I swallowed. And ever so softly ask him again.
“Donghae, c-can you, um, come w-with m-me to the p-prom? … Or not?” There! I’ve said it again. My poor heart! How could he do this to me twice! I should really fry him! No! Deep-fry him! Bake him! Boiled him! And so on and so forth. Still engrossed on doing something fishy to him when suddenly, a pair or arms wrap around my shoulder, embracing me. I can smell the scent I always love to sniff whenever he’s not looking. He really smells so lovely. Wonder why I fell in love with this guy. Is it his scent or something else’s then?
“Thank you, Hyukkie. But I’m sorry.” And smile at me again.
“H-huh? B-b-but why?” I couldn’t help but to ask. Tears are now slowly forming around my eyes, making it blurry to see.
“Hush now, Hyukkie. It’s not that I don’t want to accept your invitation. So, stop crying now.” he is now rubbing my back and comforting me.
I took off his hands and answered him while sobbing, “What is it then, huh? Care to tell me Donghae, because I don’t really understand any of it!” and bury my face on my hands while sobbing.
He ever so gently took me back into his arms and whisper, “Because I wanted to ask you first, that’s why.” And he pulled me up so now I am facing him.
“H-huh? What did you say?” and intently look at him. He smiles at me again before he replied.
“So, Lee Hyukjae, Will you go with me to the Prom?” he asks together with his puppy eyes and his lovely smile.
My Eyes widen. Did he ask me? So he did reject my invitation because of this?!
“Fool! Hmp! I don’t want to!” I said with a little anger because he made me cry for almost nothing. That stupid fish! I’ll definitely cook him after this!
He laughs. “Then maybe, I should ask Kibum instead.”
“Nooooooo! Okay! Okay! You win! Fine! I’ll go with you! You clever Fish!” I answered while stomping my feet on the ground.
“Ha-ha-ha… Thank you, Hyukkie. So I’ll see you then. Bye!” and ruin my hair. That Fish! I will take my revenge someday, he’ll see!
But it does feels great to be accepted by him. It feels so good that he didn’t reject me at all. But still, he doesn’t know my feelings for him yet. I am thinking, I will confess to him this coming Prom. I have to say this to Minnie and Eeteuk Hyung! They will be happy, I am sure of it!
And as I walk to where Minnie and Leeteuk Hyung might be, I kept singing this song…
