We're Incompatible
“
Yah! What are you doing?” Heechul asked, as he slapped his best friend’s back. Eunhyuk turned around with a painful expression. “Hyung… must you do that?” Eunhyuk said, rubbing his back. “Come on… you’re used to it by now!” Heechul retorted, but Eunhyuk chose to keep quiet and continue doing his assignment.
A boy entered the class and Eunhyuk immediately shot his head up. Heechul looked at the direction where Eunhyuk was looking at and he frowned. “Good morning, Eunhyuk, Heechul hyung” the boy said and whizzed past the two. Eunhyuk sighed softly and continued staring at the boy. That boy was Lee Donghae. Ever since he came here as an exchange student, Eunhyuk has been crushing on him, and that made Heechul mad.
Now you all should know that Heechul’s temper gets heated up very fast, even at the slightest of things, and now, that’s what’s happening. “Anyways, hyung, don’t you have to finish up the assignment our teacher gave us?” Eunhyuk turned around and asked, but Heechul walked away with an annoyed face. Eunhyuk shrugged it off.
The next day, Heechul and Eunhyuk were talking like nothing had happened yesterday, but when Eunhyuk jumped to the topic about Donghae, Heechul huffed and walked away. Eunhyuk stared at Heechul’s back. ‘This has been happening everyday now… I wonder what’s wrong…’ Eunhyuk thought.
The worriness of his best friend took over him and he walked to his best friend. “Heechul ah… what’s wrong with you? Are you okay? You get mad every now and then and it’s getting more and more serious” Eunhyuk said sincerely. Heechul gave Eunhyuk a look then dragged Eunhyuk to an empty hall way.
Heechul cornered Eunhyuk by stretching his hand on the wall, both arms beside Eunhyuk’s face and palms flat on the wall, trapping him. Eunhyuk just stared at Heechul cluelessly. “Hyung?” Eunhyuk asked. “Listen! I will only say this once!” Heechul shouted. Eunhyuk was scared so he just nodded slightly. Heechul took a deep breath and said the 3 words, “I love you” Eunhyuk was at first taken aback from the question but then laughed at it.
“Hyung~! Tell me the real reason!” Eunhyuk said, between giggles. Heechul looked slightly pissed off. “That’s it Eunhyuk! You always take everything as a joke! Everything I say! The only person you take seriously is that Donghae guy!” Heechul spat and walked off in anger. Eunhyuk looked at the angry Heechul walking away and he thought about what happened earlier.
“Heechul likes me?” Eunhyuk said to himself. “Likes me…” Eunhyuk whispered. A pause. “No… no no no no NO NO!!” Eunhyuk shouted, getting gradually louder from every ‘no’ he made. The bell rang and it was time for Physical Education, otherwise known as P.E. Eunhyuk walked by himself to the gym.
“Ok! Today we’re going to play football! Split into teams! Eunhyuk! You’re the captain of team A. Kangin! You’re the captain of Team B! Choose your players!” the coach shouted and blew her whistle. It was now down to 2 people. Heechul and Donghae, and right now, it was Eunhyuk’s turn to pick.
Why are Heechul and Donghae the last two? Well, because Heechul can get into a big temper sometimes and he doesn’t like to sweat so he plays half-heartedly and Donghae’s new, so people aren’t sure if he’s good in sports or not. Eunhyuk started sweating. Heechul or Donghae. He was going to do ini-mini-maini-mo, but that would just be stupid.
Eunhyuk said the name in a whisper. No one could hear him, but they could see his mouth move. “Speak louder Eunhyuk!” the coach yelled. “D-dong…hae…” Eunhyuk stuttered. Donghae walked towards Eunhyuk’s team and smiled at Eunhyuk before standing with the rest of the team. Heechul huffed and walked to the opposite team. “Ok Heechul… you’re going to be the…” but Kangin was cut off when Heechul yelled at him “SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU’RE NOT MY BOSS!!” and with that, he angrily walked out of the gym.
Everyone was startled by the sudden shouting and Eunhyuk knew it was his fault. He watched as Heechul walked away angrily, glaring at Eunhyuk when he passed Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk’s guiltiness sank in. The whole game, Eunhyuk could not concentrate at all. Even though football was his best sport and he loved it, worrying about Heechul was a much bigger thing.
After gym ended, Eunhyuk had a free period. He walked around looking for Heechul but Heechul was nowhere to be found. He figured Heechul had skipped school and probably went home or to a bar or something. “You idiot. You don’t even know where I am” Heechul said softly, behind the wall, slightly hurt. His phone suddenly rang and he immediately clicked ‘open’ before Eunhyuk could hear his ringtone.
The sms read :
Sender : Eunhyuk ♡
Time : 13.55pm
Tomorrow’s Sunday…
Let’s go out…
We need to talk…
Meet you at the café we go to at 2pm.
Heechul sighed and closed his phone. He knew he couldn’t run away from this.
The next day came sooner than expected, well, to Heechul, but to Eunhyuk, it felt like decades. Eunhyuk was there half an hour early so he ordered strawberry milk to drink. By the time his drink arrived, Heechul arrived too. “Black coffee, please” Heechul said to the waitress who wanted to take his order.
“Good afternoon” Heechul said, taking off his coat. “Good afternoon” Eunhyuk answered. There was a minor pause, and during that time, Heechul’s black coffee was served. “You said you wanted to talk?” Heechul asked. Eunhyuk gulped and nodded. “Yea” he said. “Erm… how should I say this… you know both of us are best friends, but I think it can only stay this way” Eunhyuk said.
Heechul kept a straight face. He didn’t feel like being sad, nor angry at the moment. “Why” Heechul said, not even in a question form. “Well, out personalities are different, for example, your temper is bad, while… I’m just plain clueless” Eunhyuk said, making matters worse. “So you’re saying my temper is bad??” Heechul said, slightly loudly, making the whole café hear him.
Eunhyuk hushed him. “And… well… I’m more like a guy and well… you’re more feminine” Eunhyuk said. “Wait… hold it… hold it!” Heechul said. Eunhyuk looked up. “You’re the girl. I’m the guy!” Heechul said. “No way! I’m the guy! You’re the girl!” Eunhyuk said, and both of them had a momentarily glare at each other. [you know XD like the electricity thing with the eyes lol] “Wanna bet?!” Heechul said. Eunhyuk looked at Heechul.
“Remember the girl cosplay competition you entered with Junsu?” Heechul said with a grin. “You wouldn’t dare…” Eunhyuk said and glared at Heechul. “Everyone listen up! Do you think I look like a girl more… or this guy in this picture?!” Heechul said, flashing a picture of Eunhyuk dressed up as sailormoon in his high school days.
The girls started giggling at the cute picture and at the dorky Heechul, but all of them chose the picture, which was Eunhyuk. “Told ya~!” Heechul said with a grin, earning him another glare from none other than Eunhyuk. “Yea…? Well… that doesn’t prove anything!” Eunhyuk said, trying to make an excuse. “Oh puh-lease…” Heechul said.
“Anyways… we’re just… different… so… yea…” Eunhyuk stuttered. Heechul felt a pang on his heart and it hurt like crazy. His eyes were beginning to swell up but he held it in. “Fine! Every single day for 1 week, you sms me the difference we have! And if we have no more… you’re going to date me!” Heechul said, immediately walking away to shed his tears.
Eunhyuk looked at Heechul walk away and he felt his heart break a little but shrugged it off. “Heechul…” Eunhyuk whispered. The minute Heechul walked out of the café, he started crying. The tears seemed to roll down his cheeks like there was no tomorrow. He didn’t see a lorry coming his way and the last thing he heard was “WATCH OUT!”, before he fell into total darkness.
The next day, Eunhyuk walked to school. He tried looking for Heechul but he was nowhere to be found. Eunhyuk thought Heechul would skip school for 1 week, explaining why Eunhyuk had to sms him instead of telling him in school. Except that, the real reason was that Heechul thought it would be too strong for his heart to take and might break down any second because of those words.
Eunhyuk smsed Heechul.
Heechul’s phone made a short sound. He had an sms.

Heechul would’ve read that by now, except that he was on the hospital bed, with his handphone on the bedside table next to him. Eunhyuk didn’t get a reply. He felt saddened that Heechul wouldn’t reply him and thought Heechul would reply him tomorrow.
The next day again, Heechul was absent. The teacher asked Eunhyuk whether he knows where Heechul was but Eunhyuk didn’t know, though he wanted to know where his best friend had disappeared to. He smsed Heechul again.

Again, Heechul didn’t read it. No one did. It was just lying coldly on the bedside table. Heechul, laying on the bed as well. Eunhyuk didn’t get a reply. What happened to his best friend? Did he run out of credit? No… Heechul uses post paid. Did his parents take away his phone? No… his parents were overseas.
Next day as usual, Heechul was missing. Eunhyuk smsed Heechul again. This time, he was determined to get a reply from Heechul.

Like yesterday, and the day before, no one read the sms. Eunhyuk began to worry. His best friend had not replied for 3 days already, and he vowed to himself he won’t call Heechul until his 1 week was up. Donghae walked over to him to talk, but Eunhyuk couldn’t care less. Donghae was shoo-ed away by Eunhyuk. After Eunhyuk realized what he had done, he thought about what he had just done. He liked Donghae… right?
Again, the next day, Heechul was absent. The 4th time in a row. Eunhyuk took out his phone again.

Then kept it back in his pocket, trying to focus on the teacher. “Yah! Did you just sms Lee HyukJae?!” the teacher yelled. “N-no… ma’am…” Eunhyuk said, as he pretended to be doing his work. He hated it when the teacher used his real name. The students would giggle at him and it was embarrassing. Did you think Heechul read the sms today? Well, he didn’t. No one did.
Eunhyuk was checking his phone again today. It was the 5th day. He had been next to his phone all day, all night, and all morning. He keyed in some letters again.

The more Eunhyuk smsed, the more meaningful and shorter the smses became. Eunhyuk had been called by Donghae today. Guess what? Donghae had confessed to Eunhyuk, saying that Eunhyuk was the only person he would ever love. Eunhyuk didn’t know why, but he rejected Donghae. Donghae saddened but didn’t want to force Eunhyuk and slowly walked away. Heechul again, didn’t see the sms, nor did anyone see it.
6th day. Eunhyuk’s heart was breaking now. He was confused. Why did he reject Donghae? His heart just told him to. Why was he only thinking about Heechul? Because… his best friend’s not there, and it’s normal to care… right? Or so he thought.

PS : I rejected Donghae’s confession, I don’t know why. Where are you? Please reply...
When Eunhyuk typed ‘where are you?’, his heart completely shattered into pieces. It was painful. He didn’t know why, but he was going to know soon. Donghae went up to Eunhyuk and they began talking. Eunhyuk liked talking to Donghae. It was entertaining, but his mind was only on Heechul. Again, Heechul nor did anyone read the sms. His handphone just lay coldly there.
The 7th and final day. Eunhyuk thought he would meet Heechul again today. He had thought about it all night. He now know that he loved Heechul, deeply, and it took a missing Heechul to find that out. Eunhyuk smsed again.

Both of us like dancing and entertaining people;
Both of us are clueless at times and are attentive at times too;
Both of us are clueless about love, but it’s a big thing to the both of us;
Both of us are equally popular, you being popular to girls, and me to guys;
Both of us think big and small, different at times;
Both of us want love that protects and entertain us 24/7
I don’t know why, but the only thing I can make out from these 6 lines, is that ‘I love you’
Eunhyuk waited and waited. It was embarrassing sending the message, but he was eager to have a reply. No reply. Eunhyuk was getting fed up. He skipped school and walked to Heechul’s house. He knocked on the door and the butler answered the door.
“Umm… is Heechul in?” Eunhyuk asked the tall butler. “Oh… didn’t madam tell you?” the butler asked, confused. “Tell me what?” Eunhyuk asked, clueless. “Sir Heechul is in the hospital. Apparently, he had an accident” the butler said. Eunhyuk’s eyes widened. “What?! When?! What accident?!” Euhyuk shouted, grabbing the butler by his shirt. The butler was shocked, but immediately answered. “On 18th June, he collided with a lorry” the butler said.
Eunhyuk’s eyes widened. He was in shock. He let go of the butler’s shirt, then looked down at his hands. In a split second, he turned around and rushed to the hospital. The butler knew where Eunhyuk wanted to go and quickly shouted out the hospital’s name. Eunhyuk had no time to reply, and just sped there.
When Eunhyuk reached the hospital, he immediately ran to the clerk and asked where Heechul was. The sight of Eunhyuk now was not pretty. Eunhyuk was sweating, half crying and half breathless. The nurse got shocked at him and quickly looked through the files. “Oh! Kim Heechul! He’s in the operation room now. Room 309” and before the nurse had time to say another word, Eunhyuk sped there.
He reached room 309, but the operation room light was on. Eunhyuk fell back on the chair and cried, his head in his hand. The doctor came out and saw Eunhyuk on the chair. “Excuse me… may I help you?” the doctor asked. Eunhyuk looked out and Eunhyuk couldn’t speak. He was too shocked and his sadness had taken over him. “Hee…chul…” Eunhyuk could manage to say.
The doctor knew what Eunhyuk meant. “We’re preparing his operation now. He’s at a dangerous state so please be patient. Here’s his handphone. May you hold it for him? His parents aren’t here and I don’t know why” the doctor said, handing the phone to Eunhyuk before making his way into the operation room again.
Eunhyuk looked at the handphone. 7 unread messages. He opened them one by one and started crying when he read them. Every message he had sent, unopened, unread by Heechul.

The last message made Eunhyuk cry the most. Eunhyuk held onto the handphone like it was his dear life he was holding on to. The doctor came out and looked at Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk was asleep on the chair, hand grasping onto Heechul’s handphone, dried tears on his cheeks. The doctor smiled at Eunhyuk then walked away.
Eunhyuk woke up. He looked at his surroundings and saw the lights were dimmed. He looked at his watch and it was 3am. Luckily his parents were on a trip to England. Eunhyuk went to wash his face. He walked back to room 309. The operation light was off, so Eunhyuk opened the door. He braced himself. The door was clicked open, and Eunhyuk found no one there.
He thought Heechul was dead. He fell to the floor and started crying again. A nurse who happened to be passing by, gasped when she saw Eunhyuk. “Excuse me, sir. Are you alright?” the nurse said, rushing towards Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk looked up. “Oh… the patient who was here was moved to room 130” the nurse said.
Eunhyuk’s face immediately lit up and he sped to room 130 again. He opened the door and saw Heechul reading a magazine. Heechul heard the door click open and saw Eunhyuk there. “Yah! Eunhyuk! You know what happened?! Some stole my handphone! That handphone cost a fortune you know?! Jeez! I become unconscious for a week and someone steals my handphone?!” Heechul complained.
Eunhyuk had tears rolling out already. He was glad. He was glad that Heechul was awake. He was glad that Heechul didn’t die. He was glad that he could now tell Heechul he truly loved him. Eunhyuk rushed to Heechul and hugged him. Heechul was taken aback by the sudden hug. “Eunhyukkie? What’s wrong?” Heechul asked, patting Eunhyuk’s back as he heard sobs given out by Eunhyuk.
“You… idiot…” Eunhyuk said between sobs. Heechul’s eyes softened and smiled. Eunhyuk leaned back, taking a good look at Heechul before softly placing his lips onto Heechul’s. Eunhyuk was so into the kiss, he completely forgot about his surroundings. As for Heechul, he noticed his handphone in Eunhyuk’s hand and gasped.
“Yah! Why did you steal my phone?!” Heechul yelled, breaking the kiss. Eunhyuk looked at Heechul and gave him a weird look. “Don’t give me that look! Why’d you steal my phone?!” Heechul shouted. “You stealer!” Heechul yelled. “Me?! A stealer?! Yah! You’re the one who fell unconscious so I took care of the phone for you!” Eunhyuk shouted back. Heechul grabbed his phone and looked through his phone.
“Yah! You read MY messages too?!” Heechul shouted. “What do you mean?! You’re the one who was too unconscious to even read MY messages for you!!” Eunhyuk shouted back. “Yea?! Well blame the lorry driver!! Oh my goodness! The messages you read were sent by you?! How conceited can you get?!” Heechul shouted. “What do you mean?! Did you know I shed tears because of those heart filling messages I wrote?!” Eunhyuk shouted back. “Well duh! You cry easily you girly boy!” Heechul shouted back. “What did you just call me?!!” Eunhyuk shouted.
And there starts the love life of a bickering couple. Of course, who could ask for more?
Yah! What are you doing?” Heechul asked, as he slapped his best friend’s back. Eunhyuk turned around with a painful expression. “Hyung… must you do that?” Eunhyuk said, rubbing his back. “Come on… you’re used to it by now!” Heechul retorted, but Eunhyuk chose to keep quiet and continue doing his assignment.
A boy entered the class and Eunhyuk immediately shot his head up.

I’m probably 100% clueless, but you know what’s happening in your surroundings
Again, Heechul didn’t read it. No one did. It was just lying coldly on the bedside table. Heechul, laying on the bed as well. Eunhyuk didn’t get a reply. What happened to his best friend? Did he run out of credit? No… Heechul uses post paid. Did his parents take away his phone? No… his parents were overseas.
Next day as usual, Heechul was missing. Eunhyuk smsed Heechul again. This time, he was determined to get a reply from Heechul.

While I am still clueless about love
Like yesterday, and the day before, no one read the sms. Eunhyuk began to worry. His best friend had not replied for 3 days already, and he vowed to himself he won’t call Heechul until his 1 week was up. Donghae walked over to him to talk, but Eunhyuk couldn’t care less. Donghae was shoo-ed away by Eunhyuk. After Eunhyuk realized what he had done, he thought about what he had just done. He liked Donghae… right?
Again, the next day, Heechul was absent. The 4th time in a row. Eunhyuk took out his phone again.

Then kept it back in his pocket, trying to focus on the teacher. “Yah! Did you just sms Lee HyukJae?!” the teacher yelled. “N-no… ma’am…” Eunhyuk said, as he pretended to be doing his work. He hated it when the teacher used his real name. The students would giggle at him and it was embarrassing. Did you think Heechul read the sms today? Well, he didn’t. No one did.
Eunhyuk was checking his phone again today. It was the 5th day. He had been next to his phone all day, all night, and all morning. He keyed in some letters again.

You think big
I think small
The more Eunhyuk smsed, the more meaningful and shorter the smses became. Eunhyuk had been called by Donghae today. Guess what? Donghae had confessed to Eunhyuk, saying that Eunhyuk was the only person he would ever love. Eunhyuk didn’t know why, but he rejected Donghae. Donghae saddened but didn’t want to force Eunhyuk and slowly walked away. Heechul again, didn’t see the sms, nor did anyone see it.
6th day. Eunhyuk’s heart was breaking now. He was confused. Why did he reject Donghae? His heart just told him to. Why was he only thinking about Heechul? Because… his best friend’s not there, and it’s normal to care… right? Or so he thought.

Our love comes in different ways.
You like those who are straightforward and can protect you,
I like those who would entertain me 24/7,
Make me smile and laugh
PS : I rejected Donghae’s confession, I don’t know why. Where are you? Please reply...
When Eunhyuk typed ‘where are you?’, his heart completely shattered into pieces. It was painful. He didn’t know why, but he was going to know soon. Donghae went up to Eunhyuk and they began talking. Eunhyuk liked talking to Donghae. It was entertaining, but his mind was only on Heechul. Again, Heechul nor did anyone read the sms. His handphone just lay coldly there.
The 7th and final day. Eunhyuk thought he would meet Heechul again today. He had thought about it all night. He now know that he loved Heechul, deeply, and it took a missing Heechul to find that out. Eunhyuk smsed again.

There are no more differences
Both of us like dancing and entertaining people;
Both of us are clueless at times and are attentive at times too;
Both of us are clueless about love, but it’s a big thing to the both of us;
Both of us are equally popular, you being popular to girls, and me to guys;
Both of us think big and small, different at times;
Both of us want love that protects and entertain us 24/7
I don’t know why, but the only thing I can make out from these 6 lines, is that ‘I love you’
Eunhyuk waited and waited. It was embarrassing sending the message, but he was eager to have a reply. No reply. Eunhyuk was getting fed up. He skipped school and walked to Heechul’s house. He knocked on the door and the butler answered the door.
“Umm… is Heechul in?” Eunhyuk asked the tall butler. “Oh… didn’t madam tell you?” the butler asked, confused. “Tell me what?” Eunhyuk asked, clueless. “Sir Heechul is in the hospital. Apparently, he had an accident” the butler said. Eunhyuk’s eyes widened. “What?! When?! What accident?!” Euhyuk shouted, grabbing the butler by his shirt. The butler was shocked, but immediately answered. “On 18th June, he collided with a lorry” the butler said.
Eunhyuk’s eyes widened. He was in shock. He let go of the butler’s shirt, then looked down at his hands. In a split second, he turned around and rushed to the hospital. The butler knew where Eunhyuk wanted to go and quickly shouted out the hospital’s name. Eunhyuk had no time to reply, and just sped there.
When Eunhyuk reached the hospital, he immediately ran to the clerk and asked where Heechul was. The sight of Eunhyuk now was not pretty. Eunhyuk was sweating, half crying and half breathless. The nurse got shocked at him and quickly looked through the files. “Oh! Kim Heechul! He’s in the operation room now. Room 309” and before the nurse had time to say another word, Eunhyuk sped there.
He reached room 309, but the operation room light was on. Eunhyuk fell back on the chair and cried, his head in his hand. The doctor came out and saw Eunhyuk on the chair. “Excuse me… may I help you?” the doctor asked. Eunhyuk looked out and Eunhyuk couldn’t speak. He was too shocked and his sadness had taken over him. “Hee…chul…” Eunhyuk could manage to say.
The doctor knew what Eunhyuk meant. “We’re preparing his operation now. He’s at a dangerous state so please be patient. Here’s his handphone. May you hold it for him? His parents aren’t here and I don’t know why” the doctor said, handing the phone to Eunhyuk before making his way into the operation room again.
Eunhyuk looked at the handphone. 7 unread messages. He opened them one by one and started crying when he read them. Every message he had sent, unopened, unread by Heechul.

The last message made Eunhyuk cry the most. Eunhyuk held onto the handphone like it was his dear life he was holding on to. The doctor came out and looked at Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk was asleep on the chair, hand grasping onto Heechul’s handphone, dried tears on his cheeks. The doctor smiled at Eunhyuk then walked away.
Eunhyuk woke up. He looked at his surroundings and saw the lights were dimmed. He looked at his watch and it was 3am. Luckily his parents were on a trip to England. Eunhyuk went to wash his face. He walked back to room 309. The operation light was off, so Eunhyuk opened the door. He braced himself. The door was clicked open, and Eunhyuk found no one there.
He thought Heechul was dead. He fell to the floor and started crying again. A nurse who happened to be passing by, gasped when she saw Eunhyuk. “Excuse me, sir. Are you alright?” the nurse said, rushing towards Eunhyuk. Eunhyuk looked up. “Oh… the patient who was here was moved to room 130” the nurse said.
Eunhyuk’s face immediately lit up and he sped to room 130 again. He opened the door and saw Heechul reading a magazine. Heechul heard the door click open and saw Eunhyuk there. “Yah! Eunhyuk! You know what happened?! Some stole my handphone! That handphone cost a fortune you know?! Jeez! I become unconscious for a week and someone steals my handphone?!” Heechul complained.
Eunhyuk had tears rolling out already. He was glad. He was glad that Heechul was awake. He was glad that Heechul didn’t die. He was glad that he could now tell Heechul he truly loved him. Eunhyuk rushed to Heechul and hugged him. Heechul was taken aback by the sudden hug. “Eunhyukkie? What’s wrong?” Heechul asked, patting Eunhyuk’s back as he heard sobs given out by Eunhyuk.
“You… idiot…” Eunhyuk said between sobs. Heechul’s eyes softened and smiled. Eunhyuk leaned back, taking a good look at Heechul before softly placing his lips onto Heechul’s. Eunhyuk was so into the kiss, he completely forgot about his surroundings. As for Heechul, he noticed his handphone in Eunhyuk’s hand and gasped.
“Yah! Why did you steal my phone?!” Heechul yelled, breaking the kiss. Eunhyuk looked at Heechul and gave him a weird look. “Don’t give me that look! Why’d you steal my phone?!” Heechul shouted. “You stealer!” Heechul yelled. “Me?! A stealer?! Yah! You’re the one who fell unconscious so I took care of the phone for you!” Eunhyuk shouted back. Heechul grabbed his phone and looked through his phone.
“Yah! You read MY messages too?!” Heechul shouted. “What do you mean?! You’re the one who was too unconscious to even read MY messages for you!!” Eunhyuk shouted back. “Yea?! Well blame the lorry driver!! Oh my goodness! The messages you read were sent by you?! How conceited can you get?!” Heechul shouted. “What do you mean?! Did you know I shed tears because of those heart filling messages I wrote?!” Eunhyuk shouted back. “Well duh! You cry easily you girly boy!” Heechul shouted back. “What did you just call me?!!” Eunhyuk shouted.
And there starts the love life of a bickering couple. Of course, who could ask for more?
