So what? (Chp 2/2)

Oct 29, 2010 01:32

A/N: So, here’s part two! Hope you guys, especially you static_abyss , like it as much as I did! And to Misunderstood readers- Don’t worry; I haven’t forgotten my promise to upload before the end of the week! Also, if I haven't gotten back to your comments yet, please don't think that I don't plan on doing so- I'm just very tired today so I don't know if I'll make it through everyone

“Oh. Hello, Eunhyuk. Didn’t see you there. What’s up?” Donghae asked coolly, a complete contrast from the other man, who was sputtering and turning red in the face. Donghae didn’t know what Eunhyuk was so mad at-being embarrassed in front of his coworkers (who were standing back and watching the scene with interest), or having caught his husband in such a compromising position. Deep down, he hoped it was the latter, but he knew better than to get his hopes up where Eunhyuk was concerned. Still, it was a relief to be able to get such a reaction from him in the first place...

“Don’t give me that bull shit. You turned out to be exactly like I thought you were, you gold digger! My money wasn’t enough so you just decided to go after the next guy who flashed some your way?” Eunhyuk all but yelled, quickly surveying Yesung’s classy clothes and well-bred air.

“Gold digger? Me? How the fuck do you go about saying that to me you lying bastard? You told me you were stuck in a meeting!”

“And you thought that would be the perfect chance to go whore yourself out to strangers in a sleazy club? Really?” Eunhyuk growled, glaring at Yesung’s unconcerned expression.

“Strangers? He isn’t a freaking stranger! He is my best friend, and you would know that if you had come out with me even once in the past few months!”

“Best friend or not, he isn’t allowed to touch you like that!”

“If you had even attempted to see things clearly, you would have noticed that I was the one who initiated all the touching!”

“How could I possibly see things clea- WAIT! So you admit that you were flirting with that man then??”

“What’s it to you if I was? I’m allowed to flirt!” Donghae knew he was starting to make less and less sense but he couldn’t bring himself to care- he just wanted to be filled up with anger and hurt and ANYTHING else that would make the emptiness he had felt for so long go away, even if just for a white.

“UH, NO actually, you aren’t! What part of you are married do you not understand?”

“Are you seriously asking me this question right now? Really? When was the last time you even acted like you were married?” Donghae scoffed, rolling his eyes at Eunhyuk’s double standards.

“What do you mea-“

“ENOUGH!” a voice echoed through the club, shocking them both. Donghae and Eunhyuk had both been so engrossed in their argument that they hadn’t noticed Heechul ungluing himself from Han Geng and marching over to them. Leaning close so just the two of them could hear what he had to say, the older man whispered furiously “I don’t know what the problem is here but the two of you need to go solve it somewhere else! You’re embarrassing me and yourselves! Go!”

And with that, Donghae and Eunhyuk found themselves pushed out of the densely packed nightclub and into the empty and cold street. Both stood awkwardly for a few moments, refusing to make eye contact with the other, lest all their frustration would fade away. Not wanting to start arguing before they got home, Donghae looked around for the silver BMW he knew to be Eunhyuk’s. He spotted it nestled between two large rose shrubs and moved towards it, leaving the other man with no choice but to follow.

The drive home was spent in frosty silence- the only sounds present were emanating from the radio which had automatically started up as they had entered the car .Donghae turned his head to the side and rested it against the cool windowpane, missing the looks Eunhyuk shot him and the way his grip on the steering wheel tightened.

They got out much as they had entered- in complete silence. Donghae unlocked the door, slipped his shoes off and walked into the kitchen to pour himself a drink of water. Eunhyuk followed quietly, opening the top drawer under the kitchen counter and sliding the car keys in. Unable to stand the other’s speculative gaze any longer, Donghae set his glass down on the counter top with a loud smack, startling Eunhyuk. Before he could say anything, Donghae walked off towards the bedroom, unsure of what he could say that would get the point across. Again, Eunhyuk followed without saying anything, until Donghae whirled around and practically whispered.

“I can’t do this anymore Eunhyuk...I want out. We aren’t working

“So what? Now you’re going to leave me and go off with that best friend of yours? I don’t think so”

“Eunhyuk…I really really want to leave” Donghae stated in a much stronger tone of voice, slipping his watch off his hand and placing it down on the dresser table. He moved to leave the room, but before he could take any further steps towards the door, he was grabbed and shoved up against the dresser, resulting in the cologne bottles clanging together and the watch he had just placed there falling off into the floor.

“Where the fuck do you get off dumping this shit on me? You have never once voiced a single complaint against me, and it’s not my fault that you keep everything inside! You want to suffocate in your own feelings, FINE! But you don’t get to walk out on this without even telling me what the hell is going through your head”

“Eunhyuk…it doesn’t matter anymore. I know you don’t want to be trapped in a loveless marriage either. So please don’t make this any harder than it has to be”

“The fuck? Do you think you’re some actress in the middle of a mediocre drama? Because that’s what you sound like right now. Loveless marriage? Don’t make this harder than it has to be? What are you talking about? Why does it sound like you’re placing the whole blame for this fight on me?”

“Are you shitting me with this? You don’t know what I’m talking about? Ugh, you make me sick Lee Eunhyuk” Donghae ground out and attempted to move away from the dresser, only to be shoved back harder. Ouch, that was definitely going to bruise...

“Would you stop? You can’t just say things like that and expect to walk away without explaining”

“You want me to explain? Okay, how’s this. What would you think if you were married to a man, but he turned out to be completely different than you had thought?

Seeing Eunhyuk opening his mouth to question, he stated “No, you wanted me to explain, so let me finish. Eunhyuk. Do you remember when the last time you kissed me was? Or the last time we made love? Or even the last time you were around when I woke up in the morning? I know you don’t have to be at work until 9, so how come you leave at 6 every morning? Does staying with me disgust you that much?
“What would you do if your husband treated you like something to be bought but not looked after?” Every time you give me an expensive but impersonal present it feels like you’re spitting on my feelings and ripping my heart to shreds.” He continued, getting a sick pleasure from seeing Eunhyuk look so dumbstruck.

“So why did you accept them then? Why did you keep them? Couldn’t you just have said that you didn’t want them?”

“Eunhyuk, not everything should have to be said! And besides…I didn’t keep them”

“What?” Eunhyuk asked, looking shocked.

“I didn’t keep them, I donated everything that I could and gave the rest away...” Donghae answered, pointedly not meeting Eunhyuk’s frantic gaze

“Why did you never tell me?” he whispered, looking both awestruck and saddened

“What good would that have done? It doesn’t change anything!”

“Of course it does! It changes everything! All this time…I’ve been thinking that you never really loved me and just accepted whatever I gave you without questioning, or denying anything. You made me feel like all you ever wanted from me was my money, that those memories we shared meant nothing to you!”

“So …what, you were testing me or something this whole time? You couldn’t just ask me about it?” Donghae choked out, slowly sliding down against the dresser until he was sitting on the ground with his head in his hands.

“Hae...I didn’t mean it like that. Baby, please, don’t cry” he whispered, kneeling down to meet Donghae’s eyes and reaching over with unsure hands to wipe the tear drops away. He gained more confidence when his attempts weren’t rejected and with a sigh he wrapped his arms around the other man, reveling in the warmth. How had he forgone all the love this man had to offer?

“Hae…all my life, the people that have been surrounding me have only wanted one thing- my money. Friends, family, random people on the street…heck, even my past lovers...They all wanted one thing. I never saw anything wrong with lavishing my loved ones with money and material things because it’s all I’ve ever known. It’s the only way I got people to stick around.”

Eunhyuk paused, looking at Donghae’s face for any sign of what he was feeling. Slightly discouraged by the stoic expression, but determined to make his point, he continued.

“When I met you…I knew you were different. No really, I did. It was obvious in the way that you never cared for expensive, but useless, luxuries. The way that you preferred to lie together in bed than go on shopping sprees for things you didn’t even plan on using. I knew that I had to make you mine, just because people like you were so hard to find, and I had fallen so deep for you that I couldn’t imagine ever letting you go. But then I got so scared…wondering that maybe when you were exposed to the world I was born in, you’d start wanting more. I really wanted you to stay, Donghae…I just really wanted you to stay” letting out a choked sob, Eunhyuk moved as if to back away from the heated embrace, only to be pulled back in-this time tighter.

“I still haven’t forgiven you, you know” Donghae added with a sniff, after several long minutes of holding each other. As they both calmed down from their emotional rollercoaster rides, the uncomfortable position they were in became more apparent. Not wanting to relinquish his hold on his husband, but not really wanting to cut off the circulation to his lower legs either, Eunhyuk reluctantly stood up, holding on to Donghae’s hand all the while. Silently, they both moved over to the bed and stood staring at each other.

“It’s okay, Donghae, you can take the bed. Let me just get a blanket for the daybed” Eunhyuk whispered, moving over to the armoire and grabbing a woven quilt.

“You leave this room, Lee Eunhyuk, and I will seriously divorce your ass” Donghae called out as he lowered himself to the bed, half seriously. Noting Eunhyuk’s surprised but hopeful expression, he allowed a small smile. “Come here and hold me, you stupid monkey.” Donghae added with a small chuckle as he moved over to make room for the other man. He frowned as Eunhyuk left a small but obvious gap between their bodies.

“What? Too close? Should I move?” Eunhyuk asked frantically, noticing the change in Donghae’s demeanor. He was pleasantly surprised when Donghae just rolled his eyes and pulled him closer and wrapped his arms around himself.

“Why are you acting like such a virgin? Just shut up and hold me” Donghae growled lightly, amusement lighting up his visage as he took in the blush that spread across his lover’s face.

**THE NEXT MORNING**

Donghae woke up with a smile on his face, still thinking about the events of last night. He rolled over on the bed, trying to “accidentally” collide with the body of his lover, but ended up falling straight off the bed with a loud yelp. He pouted from his position on the floor as he realized that he had woken up to an empty bed. Again. With a sigh he sat up and was about to get up and fix himself some breakfast when the bedroom door sprang open.

“DONGHAE! Are you okay? What happ- what are you doing on the floor?” Eunhyuk asked, his worried face assuming a more amused expression as he took in the position his lover was in.

“Donghae?” the worry was back when he failed to acquire a response from the fallen man. Moving closer to examine the other man for potential injuries, Eunhyuk was shocked as he found himself being suffocated in a gigantic bear hug. “Hae…c-an’t breathe” was all he managed to choke out

“You’re here! What are you doing here? Don’t you have work? Oh my god, you didn’t get fired because of yesterday did you? I AM SO SORRY! Wait...how can you get fired? You’re the boss. Oh, did yo-mmph“Eunhyuk leaned back after a few long minutes, surveying the effects of his kiss with a smug smile.

“When you’re done taking care of your little problem” Eunhyuk said with a smirk, pointing unnecessarily towards Donghae’s crotch “Come downstairs, breakfast is ready. And before you ask again, I took a few days off. Like you said, I am the boss.” And with another satisfied smile, he exited the room, leaving behind a shell-shocked Donghae.

“Aish, that damn tease” Donghae groaned out, taking a sheepish look down at himself before blushing and running off to take a cold, cold shower.

****

“Hey, Eunhyuk?” Donghae asked after breakfast that morning, looking over to where his husband was standing at the sink, his hands immersed in soapy water.

“Hmm?” Eunhyuk responded, not bothering to look up from the dish he was scrubbing clean.

“You never told me what you were doing in the club last night...” This time he did look up, with a surprised expression crossing over his face.

“Oh, still thinking about that? Don’t you remember me telling you about the new client I got? That was the finished product of the place he bought for me and he wanted me to go check it out as a thank you present.”

“Oh...” Donghae said, as understanding flashed across his face.

“Now can I ask something? That man, in the club...”

“Kim Yesung, my best friend from high school- he has a boyfriend” Donghae added, wanting to erase the insecure expression Eunhyuk’s face bore

“Oh...but, you guys were so close…and it definitely looked like I was interrupting something when I came over last night...” Eunhyuk added, a dark look passing over his features as the images of Donghae leaning into another man’s embrace came flooding back into his mind. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he failed to notice Donghae sidling up to him. He let out a gasp, almost dropping the dish in his hands, as he felt strong arms encircle his waist and a warm breath ghost over his neck.

“stop thinking so loud” Donghae chided, biting Eunhyuk’s exposed collarbone gently before licking it, causing the other man to let out a low moan

“When did you get so close?” Eunhyuk groaned, his eyes falling shut at the other’s ministrations

“Would you like me to get closer?” He asked, leaning over the other man to turn off the faucet.

“Yes please” Pleased with that response, Donghae gently grabbed the dish out of Eunhyuk’s hand and set it on the counter before hooking his fingers around his husband’s wrist and dragging him up the stairs to the bedroom.
