"Does anyone know the answer to the question?" The teacher asked, almost desperately.
When he was presented with blank faces and the abrupt lowering of heads to try and avoid eye contact with him, he merely frowned.
"Anyone?" He pleaded, hopefully. Nothing. "Guess I'll have to pick someone.." He mumbled, particularly to the entire class. His eyes scanned the occupied classroom carefully until they came to a halt and landed on his prey. "Kyuhyun! How about you?" He asked, his tone slightly menacing but a smile was still present on his handsome face.
Kyuhyun, who had been gazing dreamily out the window he sat beside with his chin in his hand jerked up in his chair and looked up at Mr. Song, alarmed. "Uhhh, what?"
"Answer my question, please."
"Oh. Um... four?" He intelligently guessed, ignoring the snickers and snorts that erupted throughout the room.
Mr. Song shook his head in pure pity. "Cho Kyuhyun, this is History class. Not math," he informed the young student, watching as he looked down at his table in embarrassment.
"Sorry sir," Kyuhyun mumbled.
The bell rang for lunch time and all the male students scrambled out of their seats. They stuffed paper, textbooks, pencils and pens in their bags carelessly and scurried out the door. Soon Mr. Song had finished gathering his textbooks and binders carefully before making his way out of the room with an inward sigh.
Kyuhyun let out a sigh himself as he closed over his textbooks and copybooks and placed them in his bag. He heard someone approach him, and he immediately acknowledged who this person was, but he refrained from raising his head to look up at the newcomer.
"Kyuhyun, what's up with you nowadays?"
Said boy rolled his eyes to himself. "Nothing's up with me, okay? I just haven't been getting enough sleep is all," he answered with a slight shrug, before zipping his schoolbag shut and slinging it around one shoulder. What he had just told Donghae was partially true.
Donghae raised an eyebrow, sceptically. "How come?"
Kyuhyun shook his head, hastily. "You mustn't know.." He replied, while brushing past Donghae and shuffling out of the nearly empty classroom. His friend immediately followed him out.
"But I want to know!" He sulked in a very childish manner, stomping on his feet as Kyuhyun stopped walking down the corridors and glared at him.
"You don't need to."
"Poo~" Donghae said, his lips pursing into a sad pout; and Kyuhyun automatically rolled his eyes again. There was a lot of eye-rolling involved with the older boy's presence.
They continued ambling down the corridors in a comfortable silence, until Donghae noticed a special someone approach them. He squealed in delight, and Kyuhyun turned to look at him; he looked so smitten and the younger immediately scoffed at this. "Yay, it's Hyukkie!" Donghae squealed again.
Kyuhyun said nothing, but slowed down his pace, as did Donghae.
"Hey Kyuhyun," Greeted Eunhyuk, with a small wave and a grin. Kyuhyun nodded back at him. Then he looked at Donghae and his adorable gummy smile appeared in an instant, at the presence of the other boy. "Hello Hae!" He yelled, despite the fact that Donghae was just only a few inches away from him.
And before he could step forward to approach him, Donghae had already thrown himself at him; his slender legs wrapping their way around Eunhyuk's slim waist and his toned arms circling his neck. "Hyukkieeee!" He squealed as he jumped. And because of the unexpected attack, the older stumbled to the floor.. and Donghae fell right along with him.
Kyuhyun stared at them as they burst into a fit of loud giggles and made no attempt to get up off the school floor. They remained in their position, with Donghae straddling Eunhyuk's body as they flung their arms around aimlessly, probably trying to whack one another in the faces- still laughing freely.
Kyuhyun frowned. "You guys are so..."
"Appalling?" A familiar voice suggested.
"Perfect word, Yesung," Kyuhyun said, turning around to smile at his elder.
Yesung simply laughed. "Nah, I don't think they're appalling. I think they're adorable!" He cooed, smiling down at the crazy pair on the floor, like a big idiot. "But they need to get up off the floor.. it's unhealthy," he added, flatly. Eunhyuk and Donghae decided it'd be best if they didn't get their uniforms clustered and risk getting in trouble with a teacher due to their scruffy appearances, and stood up immediately.
"So where's Ryeowook?" Asked Kyuhyun.
Yesung 's face fell. "With Henry at the cafeteria. Henry told me to tell you they'd meet with you guys at the rooftop as soon as they're done. But I'm not tagging along.. it'd be awkward hanging around with them since.."
"You and Ryeowook are taking a break from each other?" Eunhyuk finished the sentence for him, with his arms wrapped loosely around Donghae's waist from behind, as they swayed from side to side, just to entertain themselves for the meantime.
"Yeah," Yesung said, with a small smile. "And we're seeing other people right now."
Donghae bit down on his bottom lip softly, in slight worry and pity. "Don't you think.. maybe.. you know.. Henry and Ryeowook..?" He couldn't quite fit the words together to form a proper sentence, in the fear of upsetting Yesung in any way.
Yesung shook his head, furiously. "Nah! They're just friends, Henry told me. He sort of insisted."
The others nodded slowly, only slightly convinced.
"Gone out with anyone hot?" Asked Eunhyuk, a wicked grin spreading across his face.
"Well... there's this guy from the church I've started attending recently called Siwon. He's pretty nice," Yesung replied, his expression becoming thoughtful. "I think he might ask me out soon. We've been getting to know each other and.."
"Ooo la la," Donghae sang flirtatiously and Yesung shot him a glare, but out of good humor.
Kyuhyun placed a comforting hand on Yesung's right shoulder. "Even if the Siwon doesn't ask you out, don't fret," He assured him.
Donghae nodded quickly in agreement. "Yeah. We are attending an all-boy school, after all. Filled with hot boys. Heaven! But of course I've got the hottest one," he said, airily, gesturing to Eunhyuk, who grinned and pecked his boyfriend on the cheek lovingly.
Kyuhyun and Yesung exchanged gloomy glances and rolled their eyes.
"Well, now, to the rooftop?" Donghae asked.
"Indeed, to the rooftop!" Eunhyuk exclaimed, pointing a slender finger towards the area needed to travel through to reach their destination.
Donghae frowned as soon as they got to the rooftop, a hand intertwined in Eunhyuk's. "Blah, so many people here..."
"It is a pretty wonderful place, though," Hankyung, who had just joined them stated as they advanced towards their usual area. "Miles better than the stuffy, crowded cafeteria."
"Agreed," said Henry.
They all seated themselves on the ground and took out their desired food, and began conversing among themselves.
;
"So Kyuhyun, we're always talking about our love lives and... whatnot, but you've never said a word about yours. What's up with that?" Donghae asked, all of a sudden; before leaning over sideways to take a sip of Eunhyuk's strawberry milk he held in his hand.
He giggled when the older shot him a fierce glare, and when he continued glaring, the brunette stared right back with the most innocent pair of puppy-dog eyes. Eunhyuk's face immediately softened. With a sigh, the redhead handed the small carton over to Donghae, who took it with a victorious grin.
Eunhyuk didn't mind, he always brought at least four small cartons of his favourite fruity beverage with him wherever he went.
Kyuhyun gave Donghae a look. "We were discussing Voodoo just a second ago. Why bring that up... out of the blue?"
Donghae shrugged. "If I want to change the subject, then I'll change the subject!"
"Yeah, he can do what he likes!" Eunhyuk butted in. This made Kyuhyun roll his eyes just slightly.
"Besides," Donghae added. "I'm curious."
Ryeowook started looking thoughtful. "He's actually right," he agreed. "I mean, me and Yesung have broken up..." He said, a little awkwardly. "Donghae and Eunhyuk are pretty much married to each other. Henry's... sort of playing around and Hankyung's idle. But you.. what about you?" He asked, and he, as if being sucked in, moved forward to squint at Kyuhyun, as did everyone else.
Kyuhyun shook his hands in front of him, gesturing that they better move back - but they didn't.
"We're not moving until you tell us," said Henry.
"Yeah, so until you spit it out, we're going to continue staring at you right in the face like big freaks," added Eunhyuk.
Kyuhyun shook his head. "There's nothing to tell, really. I just don't feel like dating right now. Not everyone likes dating."
"Hmmm, I don't believe you," said Hankyung, frowning a bit, but moving back like everyone else.
Kyuhyun shrugged. "Well you better, 'cause it's the truth."
"No, I think you like someone and I'm gonna find out who," Donghae said, confidently. "I will."
Kyuhyun flashed him a fake smile. "Well good luck with that.. you're going to need it, because there's no-one~"
The five of them were too engrossed in their current conversation to notice someone, a very popular and well-known someone, approach them with a smile. "Hey, Eunhyuk?" This person asked.
Eunhyuk put his rambling to a half and smiled up at the person. "Hey, Sungmin. Need anything?"
Kyuhyun's whole body immediately tensed up upon hearing the other's name, and he looked up.
Sungmin grinned a bit. "Well.. do you have any idea where Leeteuk is? I've been looking for him everywhere. I really really need to talk to him..." He said, his voice dripping with slight panic.
Eunhyuk thought for a while. "Leeteuk? Um... last place I saw him was the art room. You might wanna ask Kangin, he'll probably know. Kangin's at gym."
A smile arose on Sungmin's face. "Thanks Eunhyuk, you're a lifesaver!" He almost squealed before hurriedly running away to seek Kangin.
"Wow, he seemed like he was in rush!" Exclaimed Henry.
"Thank you for stating the obvious," said Ryeowook, and Henry pouted. Hankyung could only laugh and pat Henry on the back, sympathetically.
Eunhyuk was about to say something but once he caught a glimpse of Kyuhyun's facial expression, he raised an eyebrow at him. "Kyuhyun, what's wrong? You look.. dazed."
Hankyung waved a hand in front of his face, but to no avail.
Donghae abruptly jumped up, nearly knocking his yoghurt over in the process. "I know why, it's because of Sungmin! He likes him!" He practically screamed, shooting an arm up into the air victoriously. He chuckled to himself, thinking he had been winning a lot of things lately. The other male students at the rooftop looked at him in amusement after his sudden outburst.
Now it was Kyuhyun's turn to jump. "What?! No! You can't... You can't just assume I like him!" He hastily denied, pointing at his beaming beaming friend with his long and skinny index finger. "I do not! I barely even know the guy," he exclaimed. The students continued staring as this had definitely grasped their attention. And lucky for Kyuhyun, they hadn't fully caught the name of the person Donghae had claimed Kyuhyun liked.
"So?" Donghae asked, placing his hands on his hips and sticking his tongue out. "Doesn't matter if you don't know him, you still like him.." He said, finishing with a small laugh.
Kyuhyun glared at him, in annoyance. "Ugh, I'm leaving!" He yelled, grabbing his bag and stomping away to look for Yesung.
"Fine!" Donghae yelled out after him. When Kyuhyun was completely out of sight, Donghae sat down and exchanged knowing smiles with everyone else. "He so likes him," he said, airily, before taking a bite out of Eunhyuk's sandwich in his hand. The older simply glared and wasn't going to give in so easily the second time.
A long, tiring day at school that seemed as if it would go on for eternity had actually ended. It was then 8:14PM and Kyuhyun had finished his piles of homework and took a second shower so he decided to do random stuff on his laptop to kill some time. Letting out a small sigh, he sat on his black swivel chair and opened up his yellow laptop and switched it on. As soon as everything had finished loading and stuff, he signed into MSN. Barely two seconds after he had signed in, a new small window popped up for chat; it was Eunhyuk.
Kyuhyun hurriedly switched his status to 'invisible,' seeing as several of his other contacts were also on-line at them time. He didn't like anyone interrupting his and Eunhyuk's conversations, although there were some exceptions, but only a few. He smiled to himself as Eunhyuk's status switched to 'off-line' ; the older had also set it to invisible.

GamersDon'tLove says:
• Yeah, bye.
Kyuhyun felt slightly lazy and wasn't in the mood for using his laptop anymore and immediately logged off. With a hint of excitement for the next day, he shut his laptop down. Even though they were frustratingly irritating at times, he really did have great friends. He and Eunhyuk were childhood friends. They had known each other since the time they were in elementary school.
Kyuhyun, a greedy five year old had opened his lunchbox to find an unpleasant surprise in the plastic container; a small carton of strawberry milk. He grimaced and groaned aloud, whining that he had asked for chocolate milk instead. Then coming to think of it, he did remember his mum saying something about her not being able to get chocolate milk from the shops because they were out of stock.
"I'll take that strawberry milk off your hands for you," Eunhyuk, a cute, scrawny five year old offered his classmate, upon hearing his groan. His eyes sparkled as they stalked the desired fruity drink.
Kyuhyun shook his head aggressively, pulling his lunchbox back towards himself so it was completely out of Eunhyuk's reach. "Well, you can't have it," he refused. "Now go away."
There was shock and disbelief written all over Eunhyuk's adorable face, before he pouted. "But you don't even like it. You're mean..." he sulked, folding his arms across his very narrow chest.
"So? You're annoying me," Kyuhyun replied, stubbornly. "Mrs. Hwang, Eunhyuk's annoying me and being a nuisance!" He screamed, and the said teacher rushed over. Kyuhyun felt proud that he had used a big word, according to himself and his classmates. He mimicked Eunhyuk's action and folded his arms over his chest, but in a proud and arrogant manner.
Eunhyuk looked at Mrs. Hwang, desperately. "Miss what does nu-si.. what does that big word that Kyuhyun just said mean? It sounds like a smart word that smart people use. My dad calls me that sometimes, but he's not smart..."
Mrs. Hwang sighed. "Never you mind, Eunhyuk," she said, patting his head and smiling warmly. "Kyuhyun, do you mind sharing your strawberry milk? It's Eunhyuk's favorite drink, and he's very, very thirsty."
Kyuhyun shrugged and picked the carton up out of his lunchbox. "Think fast!" He yelled, and flung the cardboard box that contained the beverage at Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk, who was lacking great reflex skills at the time, wasn't aware, and before he knew it he had fallen to the floor with a the soft groan of the word 'Ow', and a thud.
Mrs. Hwang scurried towards the petite boy and helped him up. "Kyuhyun, say sorry now," she commanded, glaring at him while holding Eunhyuk's skinny arm firmly but carefully as she helped him up.
"Okay. Sorry," Kyuhyun apologized, flatly. He hadn't spared either Eunhyuk or the teacher a brief glance.
"Kyuhyun," she repeated, sternly. "Get up out of your chair, walk over here, pick the strawberry milk up, hand it to Eunhyuk and say sorry like you mean it."
The young child scoffed, but did exactly as he was told; lazily. "Here," he said, handing his fellow classmate the colorful carton. "I'm sorry, Eunhyuk," he said. "You can have my strawberry milk.."
A lovable, dorky smile arose on Eunhyuk's face, and he almost snatched the drink from the slightly younger's hands. "Wow, thanks Kyuhyun!" And when Kyuhyun least expected it, Eunhyuk grabbed his hand and entwined it in his bony one. "You're my new friend! Come on, let's play some soccer!" He giggled as he dragged Kyuhyun out into the spacey playground. Kyuhyun had been a little hesitant, but it actually turned out to be fun. Eventually, it became a daily thing and they'd invite more and more students to join their game. That was 12 years ago, and they were the best of friends now.
Kyuhyun thought it was amazing how Eunhyuk's strong love for strawberry milk remained the same, or maybe even grew a little stronger. Sighing, he climbed into bed and slipped in under his thick duvet covers. At the time, he was far to lazy to change into his usual sleepwear. He was wearing a baggy logo t-shirt and sweatpants anyway, so it was sort of suitable. He usually never slept as early as 8:48PM, but he couldn't help it, he was exhausted.
Tuesday
Kyuhyun was ambling down the crowded school corridors, when he felt a sudden weight on his small shoulders and then arms circling them. Before he knew it, he was being pulled backwards, aggressively. He didn't feel it necessary to look up to check who this person was; he could tell by the scent alone. It was a nice scent, just to add. "The fuck... Donghae, let go of me now!" Kyuhyun demanded, laughing.
Donghae let out a cheeky laugh of his own and smiled at Kyuhyun in a dorky manner after releasing him from his hold. He continued smiling.
"What?" Kyuhyun asked, throwing Donghae a rather sceptical look.
"I was right! I was correct! You do like him," Donghae replied, happily, an uncharacteristic smug smile gracing his lips. "I knew, knew it, knew it!"
Kyuhyun frowned when he saw how pleased his friend looked with himself. "Did Eunhyuk tell you?"
"He sure did," came another voice. Both Kyuhyun and Donghae looked back to see Eunhyuk approaching them, looking all cheery as usual. "Hey Kyu," he said, smiling at his best friend. "Hey Hae," he said, winking at his boyfriend.
"Hey," said Kyuhyun.
"Hyukkie!" Donghae said, merrily. "Hey," he added, and they both leaned in towards each other to share a brief open-mouthed kiss, with Eunhyuk's arms around Donghae's neck. Luckily for Kyuhyun, it didn't seem like any tongue was involved. It lasted for about ten seconds before Donghae pulled away and smiled at Kyuhyun. "We and other people are going to help you get your little crush."
"Other people?" Kyuhyun asked. "Eunhyuk, just exactly how many people did you tell?" Kyuhyun was slightly scared now.
"Just our friends," said Eunhyuk, grinning.
"We have tons of friends," said Kyuhyun, moodily. "Which ones?"
Eunhyuk laughed. "Haha, the closer ones. Just Henry, Ryeowook, Yesung, Shindong, Zhoumi and Hankyung."
Kyuhyun's eyes slowly widened. "All of them? Six people? That's seven people apart from you knowing I like him, and that's a lot."
"Don't worry! It's good. Now you have more people to help you get with him," Eunhyuk said.
Kyuhyun paused. "When did I say I needed help?" He asked no-one in particular, his voice an octave higher.
Eunhyuk paused for a while before answering. "Well do you want help?"
"Maybe I sorta do. Sorta." He looked away and rubbed the back of his neck, awkwardly.
"Then we'll help," said Donghae smiling. "He's going to love you by next Saturday."
"Plus, you're going to need all the help you can get. Winning Lee Sungmin's heart isn't an easy challenge," Eunhyuk said. "He may seem nice and willing - and he is. But he's picky when it comes to his guys."

"Does anyone know the answer to the question?" The teacher asked, almost desperately.
When he was presented with blank faces and the abrupt lowering of heads to try and avoid eye contact with him, he merely frowned.
"Anyone?" He pleaded, hopefully. Nothing. "Guess I'll have to pick someone.." He mumbled, particularly to the entire class. His eyes scanned the occupied classroom carefully until they came to a halt and landed on his prey. "Kyuhyun! How about you?" He asked, his tone slightly menacing but a smile was still present on his handsome face.
Kyuhyun, who had been gazing dreamily out the window he sat beside with his chin in his hand jerked up in his chair and looked up at Mr. Song, alarmed. "Uhhh, what?"
"Answer my question, please."
"Oh. Um... four?" He intelligently guessed, ignoring the snickers and snorts that erupted throughout the room.
Mr. Song shook his head in pure pity. "Cho Kyuhyun, this is History class. Not math," he informed the young student, watching as he looked down at his table in embarrassment.
"Sorry sir," Kyuhyun mumbled.
The bell rang for lunch time and all the male students scrambled out of their seats. They stuffed paper, textbooks, pencils and pens in their bags carelessly and scurried out the door. Soon Mr. Song had finished gathering his textbooks and binders carefully before making his way out of the room with an inward sigh.
Kyuhyun let out a sigh himself as he closed over his textbooks and copybooks and placed them in his bag. He heard someone approach him, and he immediately acknowledged who this person was, but he refrained from raising his head to look up at the newcomer.
"Kyuhyun, what's up with you nowadays?"
Said boy rolled his eyes to himself. "Nothing's up with me, okay? I just haven't been getting enough sleep is all," he answered with a slight shrug, before zipping his schoolbag shut and slinging it around one shoulder. What he had just told Donghae was partially true.
Donghae raised an eyebrow, sceptically. "How come?"
Kyuhyun shook his head, hastily. "You mustn't know.." He replied, while brushing past Donghae and shuffling out of the nearly empty classroom. His friend immediately followed him out.
"But I want to know!" He sulked in a very childish manner, stomping on his feet as Kyuhyun stopped walking down the corridors and glared at him.
"You don't need to."
"Poo~" Donghae said, his lips pursing into a sad pout; and Kyuhyun automatically rolled his eyes again. There was a lot of eye-rolling involved with the older boy's presence.
They continued ambling down the corridors in a comfortable silence, until Donghae noticed a special someone approach them. He squealed in delight, and Kyuhyun turned to look at him; he looked so smitten and the younger immediately scoffed at this. "Yay, it's Hyukkie!" Donghae squealed again.
Kyuhyun said nothing, but slowed down his pace, as did Donghae.
"Hey Kyuhyun," Greeted Eunhyuk, with a small wave and a grin. Kyuhyun nodded back at him. Then he looked at Donghae and his adorable gummy smile appeared in an instant, at the presence of the other boy. "Hello Hae!" He yelled, despite the fact that Donghae was just only a few inches away from him.
And before he could step forward to approach him, Donghae had already thrown himself at him; his slender legs wrapping their way around Eunhyuk's slim waist and his toned arms circling his neck. "Hyukkieeee!" He squealed as he jumped. And because of the unexpected attack, the older stumbled to the floor.. and Donghae fell right along with him.
Kyuhyun stared at them as they burst into a fit of loud giggles and made no attempt to get up off the school floor. They remained in their position, with Donghae straddling Eunhyuk's body as they flung their arms around aimlessly, probably trying to whack one another in the faces- still laughing freely.
Kyuhyun frowned. "You guys are so..."
"Appalling?" A familiar voice suggested.
"Perfect word, Yesung," Kyuhyun said, turning around to smile at his elder.
Yesung simply laughed. "Nah, I don't think they're appalling. I think they're adorable!" He cooed, smiling down at the crazy pair on the floor, like a big idiot. "But they need to get up off the floor.. it's unhealthy," he added, flatly. Eunhyuk and Donghae decided it'd be best if they didn't get their uniforms clustered and risk getting in trouble with a teacher due to their scruffy appearances, and stood up immediately.
"So where's Ryeowook?" Asked Kyuhyun.
Yesung 's face fell. "With Henry at the cafeteria. Henry told me to tell you they'd meet with you guys at the rooftop as soon as they're done. But I'm not tagging along.. it'd be awkward hanging around with them since.."
"You and Ryeowook are taking a break from each other?" Eunhyuk finished the sentence for him, with his arms wrapped loosely around Donghae's waist from behind, as they swayed from side to side, just to entertain themselves for the meantime.
"Yeah," Yesung said, with a small smile. "And we're seeing other people right now."
Donghae bit down on his bottom lip softly, in slight worry and pity. "Don't you think.. maybe.. you know.. Henry and Ryeowook..?" He couldn't quite fit the words together to form a proper sentence, in the fear of upsetting Yesung in any way.
Yesung shook his head, furiously. "Nah! They're just friends, Henry told me. He sort of insisted."
The others nodded slowly, only slightly convinced.
"Gone out with anyone hot?" Asked Eunhyuk, a wicked grin spreading across his face.
"Well... there's this guy from the church I've started attending recently called Siwon. He's pretty nice," Yesung replied, his expression becoming thoughtful. "I think he might ask me out soon. We've been getting to know each other and.."
"Ooo la la," Donghae sang flirtatiously and Yesung shot him a glare, but out of good humor.
Kyuhyun placed a comforting hand on Yesung's right shoulder. "Even if the Siwon doesn't ask you out, don't fret," He assured him.
Donghae nodded quickly in agreement. "Yeah. We are attending an all-boy school, after all. Filled with hot boys. Heaven! But of course I've got the hottest one," he said, airily, gesturing to Eunhyuk, who grinned and pecked his boyfriend on the cheek lovingly.
Kyuhyun and Yesung exchanged gloomy glances and rolled their eyes.
"Well, now, to the rooftop?" Donghae asked.
"Indeed, to the rooftop!" Eunhyuk exclaimed, pointing a slender finger towards the area needed to travel through to reach their destination.
Donghae frowned as soon as they got to the rooftop, a hand intertwined in Eunhyuk's. "Blah, so many people here..."
"It is a pretty wonderful place, though," Hankyung, who had just joined them stated as they advanced towards their usual area. "Miles better than the stuffy, crowded cafeteria."
"Agreed," said Henry.
They all seated themselves on the ground and took out their desired food, and began conversing among themselves.
;
"So Kyuhyun, we're always talking about our love lives and... whatnot, but you've never said a word about yours. What's up with that?" Donghae asked, all of a sudden; before leaning over sideways to take a sip of Eunhyuk's strawberry milk he held in his hand.
He giggled when the older shot him a fierce glare, and when he continued glaring, the brunette stared right back with the most innocent pair of puppy-dog eyes. Eunhyuk's face immediately softened. With a sigh, the redhead handed the small carton over to Donghae, who took it with a victorious grin.
Eunhyuk didn't mind, he always brought at least four small cartons of his favourite fruity beverage with him wherever he went.
Kyuhyun gave Donghae a look. "We were discussing Voodoo just a second ago. Why bring that up... out of the blue?"
Donghae shrugged. "If I want to change the subject, then I'll change the subject!"
"Yeah, he can do what he likes!" Eunhyuk butted in. This made Kyuhyun roll his eyes just slightly.
"Besides," Donghae added. "I'm curious."
Ryeowook started looking thoughtful. "He's actually right," he agreed. "I mean, me and Yesung have broken up..." He said, a little awkwardly. "Donghae and Eunhyuk are pretty much married to each other. Henry's... sort of playing around and Hankyung's idle. But you.. what about you?" He asked, and he, as if being sucked in, moved forward to squint at Kyuhyun, as did everyone else.
Kyuhyun shook his hands in front of him, gesturing that they better move back - but they didn't.
"We're not moving until you tell us," said Henry.
"Yeah, so until you spit it out, we're going to continue staring at you right in the face like big freaks," added Eunhyuk.
Kyuhyun shook his head. "There's nothing to tell, really. I just don't feel like dating right now. Not everyone likes dating."
"Hmmm, I don't believe you," said Hankyung, frowning a bit, but moving back like everyone else.
Kyuhyun shrugged. "Well you better, 'cause it's the truth."
"No, I think you like someone and I'm gonna find out who," Donghae said, confidently. "I will."
Kyuhyun flashed him a fake smile. "Well good luck with that.. you're going to need it, because there's no-one~"
The five of them were too engrossed in their current conversation to notice someone, a very popular and well-known someone, approach them with a smile. "Hey, Eunhyuk?" This person asked.
Eunhyuk put his rambling to a half and smiled up at the person. "Hey, Sungmin. Need anything?"
Kyuhyun's whole body immediately tensed up upon hearing the other's name, and he looked up.
Sungmin grinned a bit. "Well.. do you have any idea where Leeteuk is? I've been looking for him everywhere. I really really need to talk to him..." He said, his voice dripping with slight panic.
Eunhyuk thought for a while. "Leeteuk? Um... last place I saw him was the art room. You might wanna ask Kangin, he'll probably know. Kangin's at gym."
A smile arose on Sungmin's face. "Thanks Eunhyuk, you're a lifesaver!" He almost squealed before hurriedly running away to seek Kangin.
"Wow, he seemed like he was in rush!" Exclaimed Henry.
"Thank you for stating the obvious," said Ryeowook, and Henry pouted. Hankyung could only laugh and pat Henry on the back, sympathetically.
Eunhyuk was about to say something but once he caught a glimpse of Kyuhyun's facial expression, he raised an eyebrow at him. "Kyuhyun, what's wrong? You look.. dazed."
Hankyung waved a hand in front of his face, but to no avail.
Donghae abruptly jumped up, nearly knocking his yoghurt over in the process. "I know why, it's because of Sungmin! He likes him!" He practically screamed, shooting an arm up into the air victoriously. He chuckled to himself, thinking he had been winning a lot of things lately. The other male students at the rooftop looked at him in amusement after his sudden outburst.
Now it was Kyuhyun's turn to jump. "What?! No! You can't... You can't just assume I like him!" He hastily denied, pointing at his beaming beaming friend with his long and skinny index finger. "I do not! I barely even know the guy," he exclaimed. The students continued staring as this had definitely grasped their attention. And lucky for Kyuhyun, they hadn't fully caught the name of the person Donghae had claimed Kyuhyun liked.
"So?" Donghae asked, placing his hands on his hips and sticking his tongue out. "Doesn't matter if you don't know him, you still like him.." He said, finishing with a small laugh.
Kyuhyun glared at him, in annoyance. "Ugh, I'm leaving!" He yelled, grabbing his bag and stomping away to look for Yesung.
"Fine!" Donghae yelled out after him. When Kyuhyun was completely out of sight, Donghae sat down and exchanged knowing smiles with everyone else. "He so likes him," he said, airily, before taking a bite out of Eunhyuk's sandwich in his hand. The older simply glared and wasn't going to give in so easily the second time.
A long, tiring day at school that seemed as if it would go on for eternity had actually ended. It was then 8:14PM and Kyuhyun had finished his piles of homework and took a second shower so he decided to do random stuff on his laptop to kill some time. Letting out a small sigh, he sat on his black swivel chair and opened up his yellow laptop and switched it on. As soon as everything had finished loading and stuff, he signed into MSN. Barely two seconds after he had signed in, a new small window popped up for chat; it was Eunhyuk.
Kyuhyun hurriedly switched his status to 'invisible,' seeing as several of his other contacts were also on-line at them time. He didn't like anyone interrupting his and Eunhyuk's conversations, although there were some exceptions, but only a few. He smiled to himself as Eunhyuk's status switched to 'off-line' ; the older had also set it to invisible.

Kyuhyun felt slightly lazy and wasn't in the mood for using his laptop anymore and immediately logged off. With a hint of excitement for the next day, he shut his laptop down. Even though they were frustratingly irritating at times, he really did have great friends. He and Eunhyuk were childhood friends. They had known each other since the time they were in elementary school.
Kyuhyun, a greedy five year old had opened his lunchbox to find an unpleasant surprise in the plastic container; a small carton of strawberry milk. He grimaced and groaned aloud, whining that he had asked for chocolate milk instead. Then coming to think of it, he did remember his mum saying something about her not being able to get chocolate milk from the shops because they were out of stock.
"I'll take that strawberry milk off your hands for you," Eunhyuk, a cute, scrawny five year old offered his classmate, upon hearing his groan. His eyes sparkled as they stalked the desired fruity drink.
Kyuhyun shook his head aggressively, pulling his lunchbox back towards himself so it was completely out of Eunhyuk's reach. "Well, you can't have it," he refused. "Now go away."
There was shock and disbelief written all over Eunhyuk's adorable face, before he pouted. "But you don't even like it. You're mean..." he sulked, folding his arms across his very narrow chest.
"So? You're annoying me," Kyuhyun replied, stubbornly. "Mrs. Hwang, Eunhyuk's annoying me and being a nuisance!" He screamed, and the said teacher rushed over. Kyuhyun felt proud that he had used a big word, according to himself and his classmates. He mimicked Eunhyuk's action and folded his arms over his chest, but in a proud and arrogant manner.
Eunhyuk looked at Mrs. Hwang, desperately. "Miss what does nu-si.. what does that big word that Kyuhyun just said mean? It sounds like a smart word that smart people use. My dad calls me that sometimes, but he's not smart..."
Mrs. Hwang sighed. "Never you mind, Eunhyuk," she said, patting his head and smiling warmly. "Kyuhyun, do you mind sharing your strawberry milk? It's Eunhyuk's favorite drink, and he's very, very thirsty."
Kyuhyun shrugged and picked the carton up out of his lunchbox. "Think fast!" He yelled, and flung the cardboard box that contained the beverage at Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk, who was lacking great reflex skills at the time, wasn't aware, and before he knew it he had fallen to the floor with a the soft groan of the word 'Ow', and a thud.
Mrs. Hwang scurried towards the petite boy and helped him up. "Kyuhyun, say sorry now," she commanded, glaring at him while holding Eunhyuk's skinny arm firmly but carefully as she helped him up.
"Okay. Sorry," Kyuhyun apologized, flatly. He hadn't spared either Eunhyuk or the teacher a brief glance.
"Kyuhyun," she repeated, sternly. "Get up out of your chair, walk over here, pick the strawberry milk up, hand it to Eunhyuk and say sorry like you mean it."
The young child scoffed, but did exactly as he was told; lazily. "Here," he said, handing his fellow classmate the colorful carton. "I'm sorry, Eunhyuk," he said. "You can have my strawberry milk.."
A lovable, dorky smile arose on Eunhyuk's face, and he almost snatched the drink from the slightly younger's hands. "Wow, thanks Kyuhyun!" And when Kyuhyun least expected it, Eunhyuk grabbed his hand and entwined it in his bony one. "You're my new friend! Come on, let's play some soccer!" He giggled as he dragged Kyuhyun out into the spacey playground. Kyuhyun had been a little hesitant, but it actually turned out to be fun. Eventually, it became a daily thing and they'd invite more and more students to join their game. That was 12 years ago, and they were the best of friends now.
Kyuhyun thought it was amazing how Eunhyuk's strong love for strawberry milk remained the same, or maybe even grew a little stronger. Sighing, he climbed into bed and slipped in under his thick duvet covers. At the time, he was far to lazy to change into his usual sleepwear. He was wearing a baggy logo t-shirt and sweatpants anyway, so it was sort of suitable. He usually never slept as early as 8:48PM, but he couldn't help it, he was exhausted.
Tuesday
Kyuhyun was ambling down the crowded school corridors, when he felt a sudden weight on his small shoulders and then arms circling them. Before he knew it, he was being pulled backwards, aggressively. He didn't feel it necessary to look up to check who this person was; he could tell by the scent alone. It was a nice scent, just to add. "The fuck... Donghae, let go of me now!" Kyuhyun demanded, laughing.
Donghae let out a cheeky laugh of his own and smiled at Kyuhyun in a dorky manner after releasing him from his hold. He continued smiling.
"What?" Kyuhyun asked, throwing Donghae a rather sceptical look.
"I was right! I was correct! You do like him," Donghae replied, happily, an uncharacteristic smug smile gracing his lips. "I knew, knew it, knew it!"
Kyuhyun frowned when he saw how pleased his friend looked with himself. "Did Eunhyuk tell you?"
"He sure did," came another voice. Both Kyuhyun and Donghae looked back to see Eunhyuk approaching them, looking all cheery as usual. "Hey Kyu," he said, smiling at his best friend. "Hey Hae," he said, winking at his boyfriend.
"Hey," said Kyuhyun.
"Hyukkie!" Donghae said, merrily. "Hey," he added, and they both leaned in towards each other to share a brief open-mouthed kiss, with Eunhyuk's arms around Donghae's neck. Luckily for Kyuhyun, it didn't seem like any tongue was involved. It lasted for about ten seconds before Donghae pulled away and smiled at Kyuhyun. "We and other people are going to help you get your little crush."
"Other people?" Kyuhyun asked. "Eunhyuk, just exactly how many people did you tell?" Kyuhyun was slightly scared now.
"Just our friends," said Eunhyuk, grinning.
"We have tons of friends," said Kyuhyun, moodily. "Which ones?"
Eunhyuk laughed. "Haha, the closer ones. Just Henry, Ryeowook, Yesung, Shindong, Zhoumi and Hankyung."
Kyuhyun's eyes slowly widened. "All of them? Six people? That's seven people apart from you knowing I like him, and that's a lot."
"Don't worry! It's good. Now you have more people to help you get with him," Eunhyuk said.
Kyuhyun paused. "When did I say I needed help?" He asked no-one in particular, his voice an octave higher.
Eunhyuk paused for a while before answering. "Well do you want help?"
"Maybe I sorta do. Sorta." He looked away and rubbed the back of his neck, awkwardly.
"Then we'll help," said Donghae smiling. "He's going to love you by next Saturday."
"Plus, you're going to need all the help you can get. Winning Lee Sungmin's heart isn't an easy challenge," Eunhyuk said. "He may seem nice and willing - and he is. But he's picky when it comes to his guys."
