Practice makes perfect, ch 9B
PART B
It took him only five minutes to get to Leeteuk and Heechul's place. They lived in a rowhouse, near the school. The apartment was quite expensive for two high school students but their parents were rich people and they had no difficulties on paying their sons' apartment.
Donghae ringed the door bell. He saw Heechul appearing to the window next to the door before he opened it with a grin on his face, which wasn't a new sight for Donghae.
"Wanna come in?" The elder asked like he didn't know the answer already and moved away from Donghae's way, keeping the door open for him.
"Don't play stupid, Chullie." Leeteuk said and appeared to Donghae's sight, zipping his jeans, and gave Donghae a smile which was really close to a grin. "Take off your shoes and come in." He said to Donghae.
After a little while Donghae was sitting on the couch of their living room, holding a bottle of soju in his hands. Heechul was sitting on the floor before him and drinking his soju already when Leeteuk came and sat next to Donghae.
"It's not quite your style to come here and ask for soju. Has something happened?" The eldest asked with a concerned voice and looked at Donghae. Donghae frowned and took a long sip from his bottle, making even Heechul look at him oddly.
"It's mom....and her new man." He answered and took another sip from the bottle. Leeteuk and Heechul looked at each other with a surprised looks on their faces before they looked back to Donghae.
"What new man?" Heechul asked, leaning closer like he was hearing a good gossip or a ghost story. Leeteuk shot him a glare but when Donghae spoke again he left Heechul to be his own curious self.
"Yeah... she's got a new man. I heard about him two days ago."
"And what about him?" Heechul asked.
"Heechul!" Leeteuk scowled to his boyfriend. "Let him speak, will you."
"They arranged me a marriage."
The reaction was...indescribable. Heechul's mouth fell all open while Leeteuk's head turned back to Donghae so quickly that there was heard a loud snap from his neck, which he ignored.
"They WHAT?!" He shouted. "With who?"
Heechul was as amazed. "Why now? You're just a kid!"
Donghae placed the empty bottle of soju to the table near the couch -he had a good drinking-head- and took Leeteuk's bottle from his hand. Leeteuk didn't even refuse as he looked when Donghae was clearing trying to get himself drunk. His umma-side was too shocked to react.
"With Goo Hara."
"Omo! Are you serious?!" Heechul exclaimed. Both guys on the couch turned to look at him.
"Do you know her?" Leeteuk asked. Even though Donghae was already a little light headed because of all the alcohol he had drank, his curiosity woke.
"Hell yes I know her. She's a daughter of my dad's work buddy . Her family is rich as hell." Then an evil smirk grew to his face. "She's really hot."
Leeteuk smacked him with a couch pillow as Donghae mentally face palmed himself. Heechul really knew how to make everything as a joke.
"Kim Heechul! Behave or you won't get any in month!" Leeteuk shouted to him.
"Guys... Relax." Donghae said and tried to calm Leeteuk down placing his hand on the elder's shoulder. "I don't know anything about her and I have no attentions to get married with her."
"I don't even get the whole situation... Why do they want you to get married now when you're still a high school kid?" Heechul asked, more of himself than Donghae, and seemed to remember his soju bottle and took a sip. Donghae on the other hand felt his face reddening a little.
"Umm... It might be because I kissed Hyukkie in front of them..." Heechul choked to the liquid in his mouth. Damn... why this bottle is already empty?
"You did that in front of your mother?" Leeteuk asked even though Donghae had just said it, like he hadn't heard it right.
Donghae only groaned as an answer and closed his eyes. The alcohol was starting to affect to his mind and he felt like a piece of shit. But it still didn't feel enough... He tried to get up and walk to the kitchen to take another bottle but his legs gave up under him and he crushed down to the couch again, earning a worried look from Leeteuk.
"You're not going home like this." He said. "And I know it's only Thursday but he can't go home in that condition." He added to Heechul who looked at him with disapproving look in his eyes.
"N-no... I'm *hiccup* fine." Donghae said and mentally cursed. First he wanted to drink until he'd pass out but now, when talking didn't go like it should, he felt like jumping down from a bridge. Too bad Leeteuk was there to take care of him...
"I'll get him a pajama. Chullie, would you take him to bathroom so he can clean himself up a little?" Leeteuk said to Heechul, ignoring Donghae, and got up. Heechul growled but got up. He placed his bottle to the table and gave his hand to Donghae.
"Get up." He ordered. Donghae knitted his eyebrows together but grabbed a stern hold of Heechul's offered hand and stood up. But he did it too fast and everything seemed to go dark and he staggered forward. Luckily Heechul was aware and caught him before he fell to the floor.
While Donghae was in the bathroom, washing his face, Leeteuk was making the couch ready for Donghae. Heechul was taking the soju bottles to the kitchen and soon came to help his boyfriend.
"Should we call his mom that he'll be here over the night?" He asked. Leeteuk stopped putting the pillowcase over the pillow when the question reached his ears. It wasn't Heechul's style to be concerned about anyone -except for Leeteuk, of course. "What? Can't I be the umma for once?" Heechul snapped at him, getting back to put the duvet cover over the blanket.
Leeteuk got the pillow finished but before got time to get his phone from the bed room, unfamiliar message tone filled the room. Both of them stopped on their tracks and tried to search for the phone making the sound. Heechul spotted Donghae's phone under the coffee table and quickly grabbed it before Leeteuk got it into his own hands.
"I bet he doesn't mind if I read it for him..." He said and a wicked smirk grew to his face.
"Chullie, it's not yours. Put it back to the table and let him read it." Leeteuk said patiently. But as he guessed, Heechul didn't obey and flicked the phone open.
"Oh~! It's from Eunhyuk." Heechul grinned.
"Leave it. Seriously, Heechul." Leeteuk's voice was getting louder, and demanding. But Heechul acted like he hadn't heard anything and read the message.
"He said he's back home again." He lifted his head from the phone and looked at Leeteuk. "Where has he been?" When Leeteuk only lifted his shoulders, Heechul returned to read the message again. "He asked if Hae knew why Kibum didn't answer to his calls or messages and neither did Siwon." He asked with a questioning tone and looked up to Leeteuk again.
"Siwon wasn't with Donghae today at school. He got something with his parents and Kibum..." Leeteuk tried to explain but he didn't feel like it was his job to tell it to Heechul. The latter seemed to understand it and just nodded before he placed the phone to the table.
