This is dedicated to my other half, static_abyss HAPPY FREAKING (belated) BIRTHDAY! Hope you enjoy part 3 of your present. You’ll get the other half tomorrow: P
“What time do you think you’ll be home?”
“In about 2 hours, don’t wait up.”
“Oh, but I-”

“Of course, he hung up” Donghae grumbled as he shifted on the king sized bed, turning to lay on his side so that he couldn’t see the ceiling his gaze had been boring holes into for the past hour.
It had been three months since he had “gotten married” to Lee Eunhyuk, top real estate mogul and one of the richest men in South Korea. It had been exactly two months and 29 days since he had last shared a kiss with his so called husband, and even longer since he had last heard the words “I love you” come out of the other man’s mouth. He didn’t know what could have possibly occurred to make his once-affectionate lover turn so cold, but he wanted the old Eunhyuk back. He missed the Eunhyuk who would disobey his father and sleep at his house, just so they could both be the first people they saw when they woke up. He missed the romantic, spontaneous Eunhyuk who would cancel meetings and “kidnap” him from his university just so they could go on a picnic, or cuddle together in bed.
The old Eunhyuk would have never been so impersonal today of all days…
Donghae was jerked out of his thoughts when he heard a familiar ringtone echoing from under the bed where he had thrown his phone in frustration. Leaping off the bed hurriedly, he let a smile slip across his features, hoping against all hope that it was Eunhyuk. When he checked the caller id however, the smile fell from his face. Of course, why would he call back? He had already said all he needed to say earlier..With a grimace, Donghae answered the call, knowing that the caller would not appreciate being ignored.
“Yoboseyo?”
“DONGHAE! Are you and Eunhyuk ready to go? Hannie and I are almost at your place”
“Eunhyuk can’t make it today, Heechul-hyung, he has a meeting”
“I thought he said he would be celebrating your birthday with us??”
“I’m sure he didn’t mean for this meeting to come up. Besides, it’s not like he forgot- he already gave me my present this morning”
“Which charity are you going to donate it to this time?”
“What makes you think I’m going to donate it?”
“Uh hello? Donghae, isn’t that what you’ve done with the last few hundred presents he gave you? The man may mean well, but his taste in presents is too extravagant for you”
“It was less than a few hundred hyung, and yeah, I think this one we need to take it to that children’s orphanage we went to for the harp he gave me at Christmas”
“What was it this time? A state-of-the-art computer?”
“Close, another flat-screen TV”
“But don’t you already have one in your room? And in the living room…and the bathroom..and the kitchen?”
“Exactly”
“Aish whatever. Get outside, we’re ready to go!”
“I don’t feel up to it anymore hyung, you two should go on without me”
“Yah! Lee Donghae! We did not drive over an hour for you to turn us down! Get out here right now or I swear I will come drag you out if I have to”
*click*
What is it with people and hanging up on me today? Donghae sighed, as he reluctantly got up off the bed and straightened the clothes he was wearing. He had known that he wouldn’t get out of going with Heechul and Han Geng, so he had already gotten ready earlier. Quickly running a comb through his mussed brown hair, Donghae smiled to himself as he looked in the mirror.
”You, Lee Donghae, are one sexy man” he thought to himself, smirking. But at his next thought, the smirk slipped off his face. Now if only the man you love would come to realize it…
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that the honk that blared loudly outside the large house the next second shocked him into dropping the hair brush. After quickly gathering his wits (and the brush off of the floor) and dabbing some cologne on his wrists, Donghae grabbed his tight-fitting blazer and ran towards the door, hoping to get out before Heechul woke his stuffy neighbors up.
As soon as he got outside, he ran to the red Porsche that practically glowed in the darkness, the only sign of life along the upscale riverside drive where Donghae and Eunhyuk lived. Ignoring Heechul’s pointed look of annoyance, he mumbled a quick hello to Han Geng, the designated driver, and received a small, understanding smile in return.
“Yah, if you’re done making eyes at my boyfriend, can we please get this show on the road?” And with that, any tension Donghae felt about the night ahead quickly dissipated, replaced by a feeling of dread and ill-suited amusement. A night out with Heechul almost always involved tons of alcohol, crude jokes, regrettable actions and frankly, there was nothing Donghae wanted more than to just let himself go and stop feeling the pain and emptiness that his seemingly loveless marriage was bringing him.
So he did what he always did when he went to clubs with his friends after having a quasi-fight with Eunhyuk- he grabbed a seat by the bar and asked the bartender for a beer- nothing with enough alcohol content to intoxicate him enough to make a decision he would regret, but something to get his blood pumping. He didn’t want anything to impair his judgment greatly- In about 15-20 minutes he would have to start turning down requests by both girls and guys to dance. He may come to clubs frequently, but he never did anything that would hurt his marriage; He wasn’t that type of guy.
“Excuse me, would you like to dance?” it had been over an hour since he had been sitting at the bar, making casual conversation with the bartender and a few other patrons sitting on stools around him.
“No, sorry” Donghae responded, not bothering to lift his gaze from the can of beer he was clutching.
“I said, dance with me!” The voice replied, pulling at the sleeve of his blazer. Irritated, he looked up and almost choked on his own spit.
“Yesung hyung! What are you doing here” Donghae asked excitedly, his previous irritated expression having long since been replaced with a much more welcoming one.
“What, I can’t even visit you now? It’s not every day my favorite dongsaeng turns 26!”
“You know what I mean hyung! How did you know I was going to be here?”
“Because of my super awesome ninja skills of course!” at Donghae’s unfazed expression, he added a sheepish “or…because Heechul texted me saying that you looked like you were about to die of boredom in the hottest nightspot in Seoul and that I had better come by and make sure you didn’t embarrass him in front of any fellow models of his”
“That explains it” he laughed, swinging an arm around his hyung’s shoulders and maneuvering him onto the adjacent barstool. “He’ll have a scotch on the rocks” Donghae added, with a quick glace over to the bartender who had been waiting patiently for the order.
“So tell me, what has my fishy been up to lately?” Yesung asked, leaning over Donghae’s lap to grab the drink as the bartender slid it across the counter.
“Oh, you know, the same old…been a bit bored though since you haven’t been stopping by to see me at the dance studio!”
“you know I don’t dance anymore- Siwon got so jealous the last time you made me replace that teacher who was sick…I’m telling you, he is so …forceful when he wants something really badly”
“Yeah, but you know you like it” Donghae said, smirking at the blush that arose on Yesung’s cheeks. A comfortable silence fell around the pair as each man surveyed their surroundings. Donghae was just turning back to Yesung to whisper something about Heechul’s dirty dancing abilities when he spotted something that made him freeze. After a few more second of contemplative silence, Donghae stood up.“He wouldn’t get jealous if you were to dance with me though, right?
“No, he wouldn’t…why?” Ignoring the puzzled look on Yesung’s face, Donghae grabbed his arm and led him to the dance floor where he proceeded to wrap his arms around his hyung’s small frame. He leaned closer as if going in for a kiss but then…
“Just go along with it Hyung, I promise I won't do anything to you” he whispered and Yesung gave a slight nod, fully trusting that Donghae wouldn’t ever attempt to do anything he knew his hyung wouldn’t like. Donghae leaned closer and closer and then stopped within mere inches of Yesung’s face, as if waiting for something…
“What the hell is going on here?”: a voice roared, right as there was a lull in the music the DJ had been playing nonstop for the past half an hour, resulting in utter silence as everyone in the club turned around and stared at the scene unfolding before them.
