Summary: Hyukjae has a plan to get to know Donghae better, and Ryeowook is thrilled.
I spent all night thinking over the events that went down the previous day. The facts were these: your name was Donghae, and you went to school with my cousin Ryeowook, who apparently you’re good friends with because you’ve texted each other. Wait a minute, Ryeowook has your number, I have to get it from him tomorrow, oh wait that might be to forward. Pout. I hadn’t realized how late, or should I say early, it had gotten until my alarm clock started beeping. I happily jumped out of bed, I had to get ready and inform Yesung that I would be accompanying him picking up Ryeowook.
Once I had showered, dressed, and told Yesung I would be coming with him to take Ryeowook to school. I sat down at the kitchen table and ate cereal; Sungmin wasn’t home, three guesses where he was, and waited for Yesung to get ready. When Yesung was done getting dressed, he came and sat next to me and quickly ate his cereal; when he finished he announced that we could leave.
The walk to Ryeowook’s house was filled with pointless conversation, about turtles, trees, and what the name of the class about trees was. Until I guess it finally sunk into Yesung’s head, and he asked
“Oh yeah, Hyuk why did you want to come with me to pick up Wookie?”
“Uhh” what could I tell him, that I wanted to find out about some kid I was having dreams about? No, he would think I’m a freak, and I would probably die is Yesung thought I was a freak. “I just thought I should spend some more time with him” I tried.
“That’s great, Hyuk I’m sure he’d love to spend more time with you” He said happily.
When we reached our destination, Yesung knocked on Ryeowook’s door, and we patiently waited for him to open it. At first Ryeowook was all happy and had a huge smile on his face, that was until he saw me, and his smile fell.
“What are you doing here?” he asked with a tiny bit of hostility in his voice, It was subtle but I still caught it, and so did Yesung.
“Wookie don’t be rude” Yesung said.
“Sorry Hyung” Ryeowook said, with his smile suddenly back. I knew why he was mad, his big secret love for Yesung, and wanting to spend every minute alone with him; I felt bad, I really did, but I also really wanted to find out about Donghae.
Coming to pick up Ryeowook with Yesung turned out not to be the best idea, for two reasons, 1 Yesung was there and it was really hard to get Wookie’s attention, and 2 every time I tried to talk Ryeowook would shoot death glares at me. Who knew Wookie could be so scary? Shudder.
So I spent the whole trip a few feet behind them. At about the half way mark I started to wonder if they were a couple. The way Ryeowook would giggle after everything Yesung said, or the way Yesung insisted that he hold Ryeowook’s hand while crossing the road, and how they would lean in to whisper every once in a while, like sharing an inside joke. If I was a passerby I would have assumed they were actually a couple, not an oblivious idiot and a love sick kid.
I hadn’t even realized we were already at the school, or that I was smiling like an idiot until Yesung asked “Why are you smiling?”
“No reason, you two are just really cute” I said, and I didn’t miss the blush that formed on Ryeowook’s face, even though he tried to hide it.
“Ryeowook’s the cute one” Yesung innocently said, at which Ryeowook turned even redder, which Yesung noticed. “Wookie are you okay? You’re all red, are you sick? Should I take you to the doctor? You should have said you weren’t feeling well, and I should have noticed. God I’m so stupid.” Yesung ranted.
“Hyung, Hyung calm down I’m okay” Ryeowook tried to calm a frantic Yesung down.
“Then why were you all red?” he asked. Yesung was an idiot, how could he not tell that Ryeowook was blushing?
“I’m just a little flushed from walking, that’s all, there’s no need to work yourself up” Ryeowook said.
“Okay. But next time I’m bringing water for you” Yesung stated, and Ryeowook smiled happily. “Oh yeah, Hyuk didn’t you need to tell Wookie something?” Yesung asked me, and Ryeowook frowned when Yesung attention was no longer on him.
“Yeah” I said slowly, a little afraid Ryeowook was going to rip my head off or something.
There was a long uncomfortable silence until Yesung broke it by saying “Well, go on, tell him”
“It’s kind of…personal” I said, and Ryeowook shook his head slowly as if to say “if you make Yesung leave, I swear I’m going to kill you”. But I had to, this was really in both our interest. I had a plan, a brilliant plan, and once Ryeowook hears it I know he’ll be happy about it too.
“Okay, well I’ll leave you two to talk about it” Yesung said “but don’t let him be late” he scolded.
“I won’t, and thanks Yesung” I said.
“Bye Wookie” Yesung said while hugging Ryeowook goodbye. “Bye Sungie” Ryeowook replied, and held on a little longer than necessary.
When Yesung was no longer in view Ryeowook turned to me, with a glare that would have even stopped the evil Kyuhyun in his tracks. “This had better be world ending news” Ryeowook said coldly.
I couldn’t help the whimper that came out my mouth, I’d never seen Ryeowook like this before, and one thing is for sure, I would NEVER interrupt Ryeowook’s time with Yesung again.
“I have a proposition for you” I said trying hard not to sound scared. I’m not sure if I succeeded.
“What is it” Ryeowook asked, his tone a little less hostile.
“You have something you want, and I have something I want. But neither of us can get what we want alone” I said trying to lure him into wanting to know more.
“What are you talking about?” He asked curiously.
“Yesung” I said.
“What about Yesung?”
“You want Yesung”
“Yeah, no shit, but what do you want” I was a little taken aback when I heard Ryeowook swear, but I just assumed it was from me making Yesung leave.
“Donghae” I stated.
“What?” he asked bewildered.
“Donghae, I want Donghae, you know your friend, the one who just moved here” I said. I knew Ryeowook was confused, from the look on his face, but I just waited patiently for him to process the information.
“What does that have to do with me? And wanting Yesung?” he asked.
“Look I don’t know Donghae, and with the age gap it’s going to be pretty hard to find out about him. And you’re getting nowhere with Yesung” I say.
“Hey, I’m getting somewhere with him” He defends.
“Yeah, if you want him to always treat you like a brother” I say. I know it’s harsh but I have to convince Ryeowook of my plan, or else its back to stalking, and it wouldn't look good if Donghae found out I was stalking him; he probably wouldn’t date me.
Ryeowook frowned, but didn’t say anything, so I continued. “Okay so here’s the deal; I’ll help you with Yesung and you help me with Donghae”
“How?” he asked, curiosity clearly catching the better of him.
“A double date” I chirp.
“Double date?”
“Yeah it’s perfect. I can’t go up to a high schooler and ask him out he’ll think I’m a pervert, and Yesung is clueless, so if it’s in a date environment he’ll have to realize you love him. Everyone else has.” I say. Oh man I’m a genius, they seriously should give me a position in the government, nothing would ever go wrong again.
“That could work” Ryeowook says still a bit skeptical.
“And besides if it starts to go wrong we could bail each other out, we could have this whole ninja thing going on” I reassure.
“Yeah. That actually sounds like it could work” He says shocked, like something I came up with might actually work, and I was about to defend myself by saying everything I come up with works, when he asked “Since when do you like Donghae? You only met him for like a minute”.
“Ahh…love at first sight” I try; I know it will work because Ryeowook claims Yesung was his love at first sight too. I can’t really tell him I fell for Donghae in a dream, before I even met him; that would sound crazy.
“Really?” Ryeowook asks all giggly.
“Yeah” I say.
“Okay, when? Where? What time?” Ryeowook asks. Now that he’s on board it will only be a short while till I get my Donghae to fall for me.
“I haven’t really planned that out yet, but I do have some ideas. But your school’s about to start, and if Yesung finds out I made you late he’ll murder me, and we’ll never get our dates” I say after noticing the time. “I’ll call you after I get out of school, I could even come to your house and we can plan it” and at that Ryeowook happily jumped up and hugged me, thanking me for being so smart, and ran to class, probably not wanting Yesung to go to jail for killing me.
As I watched Ryeowook run to class, I realized I was going to be late so I booked it to university. I couldn’t afford to be scolded by Leetuek, not today, not when I had a super awesome date to plan.
Class was boring, and long, like really, really long, and I was giddy, so giddy in fact I couldn’t sit still in my seat. Everyone noticed, and asked me why I was so happy, to which I answered that I was going to Ryeowook’s house later, and I was just really excited. This probably wasn’t the best idea, because Yesung insisted on coming with, and when I told him it was about the personal issue I had earlier, he looked hurt. And I knew when I got to Ryeowook’s he was going to be mad I made Yesung feel left out, but I couldn’t help that, he diffidently couldn’t come, we had a date to plan.
When I got to Ryeowook’s, as expected, he answered the door very annoyed.
“Why did you hurt Yesung’s feelings like that?” He asked.
“Well he really couldn’t come, now could he” I said.
“Yeah, but you didn’t have to tell him, now did you” he said mocking my tone earlier.
“Haha, have you met Leetuek? If I don’t tell him where I’m going he cry’s, then Sungmin kick my ass for making him cry and Yesung tells me I should be a better person.” I say.
Once we’ve worked out a plan, I head home, and after convincing a worried Yesung that nothing was wrong with Ryeowook, I head to my bedroom to try and get some sleep. I’ve been awake for 2 days, and now that I’m in the sanctity of my room, the sleepiness hits me hard. I fall into a dreamless sleep. Anticipating this weekend; it was going to be epic.

I was really sick today, and wasn't planning on writting this. But it was driving me crazy having to stay in bed doing nothing, so here it is chapter 7 :)
