*Sequel to
I Don't Like Lee Donghae*
“I think I like Hankyung.” Eunhyuk’s eyes weren’t focused at all and kept moving nervously. The feeling was awkward, but I managed to let out a small giggle. I walked towards him and patted his shoulders gently. “I hope everything works out for you.” I forced a bright smile and saw him starring deeply into my eyes. His gaze was full of curiosity. What was Eunhyuk thinking? I continued to strain out this happy go lucky feeling, trying to break through the eerie atmosphere between us.
As soon as my arms left his shoulders I took a step back and took a deep breathe. “Good luck Hyukkie!” I assured him with two thumbs up and walked passed him, not forgetting to get a last glance.
Somewhere within myself I felt relieved. Eunhyuk understood and was still my friend after I told him my confession about liking Kibum, but I also feel a hint of emptiness.
Did Eunhyuk really like Hankyung? Well there’s nothing wrong with Hankyung, he is an excellent dancer and is quite attractive looking. But I can also dance and aren’t I somewhat attractive looking?
As soon as I knew Eunhyuk was far away from me, I stopped forcing smiles. “Really likes, Hankyung?” That name felt like poison against my tongue. I didn’t like saying it and how I wish to not think about it, but it won’t go away. Eunhyuk liking Hankyung, can I accept it?
“I have to.” Because he accepted me liking Kibum and as a friend I should respect his decision.
A water droplet fell onto my hair. I looked up to see a bunch of gray clouds in the sky, it was raining.
Someone must be in tears today.
------------------------------
I walked into the classroom to find only a few of my classmates inside. I looked around and saw Hankyung sitting by himself starring outside the window. We were still friends so as a friend, I walked up to him.
“Hey Hankyung, what are you up too?” I took a seat next to him and made an effort into smiling. He turned to me and sighed. He wasn’t smiling like usual and he looked depressed. “Nothing really.” He mumbled in a monotonous voice.
“Your lying. Come on Hankyung were friends right? What’s wrong?” I nudge the side of his shoulders. Hankyung only turned back to the window and resumed to his posture from before.
“Who does Eunhyuk like?” Hankyung’s back was facing me. My lips were in frozen in place. Why did he care who Eunhyuk liked? I stared at the ground and stayed silent.
Was there a possible chance that Hankyung liked Eunhyuk back? No it can’t be.
“Do you like him?” I finally asked Hankyung. I didn’t look at him, I couldn’t it. The thought of him liking Eunhyuk made me feel angry.
“Maybe.” He answered coolly.
By now I was getting all hyped up for nothing. I trust Hankyung. He’s a great friend and we have similar hobbies and such. But him being with Eunhyuk just made me feel sick. I must be over protective about Eunhyuk or something because I can’t accept this at all.
Eunhyuk is a good guy and I don’t want to see him get hurt.
“I heard he already has a crush on someone, I think your too late.” I laughed trying to make it sound like I was being friendly. Hankyung laughed as well. “Oh well I guess I am.” I sighed in relief.
“Hey Donghae come play with us!” I looked back to see Kibum smiling at me. I quickly patted Hankyung’s back and walked towards him and the others.
I saw a seat available next to Kibum. Being the idiotic shy boy I am, I took a seat across him instead. He only continued to smile back at me. His cool eyes washed the burning anger in me as I smiled back at him. It’s as if I could stare at him all day and never get mad or sad.
Kibum then began looked around the room in search of someone. “Yah Heechul! Come play with us!” He yelled across the room to where the red haired man was sitting and looking into a mirror. “Hold on you little brat, I’m fixing my hair.” Heechul yelled back as I laughed. Kibum snickered and started mixing the cards.
“Alright then we just need one more player.” Sungmin looked around the room in search for another player.
“Kyuhyun do you want to-” “No.” Sungmin pouted and crossed him arms. “Meanie.” He murmured as he tried asking someone else. Heechul finally walked over to us and sat next to Kibum. I felt a little envious.
I looked around the room trying to help Sungmin find someone to play with us. My eyes met with a guy laying his head on the desk, I frowned. Stupid Hankyung.
I had to drop the thought. “Hyukkie your finally here! Quickly, come play with us!” Smiling widely and waving my arms in the air furiously, I had to stop thinking badly about Hankyung. Eunhyuk smiled and walked towards us.
Eunhyuk’s eyes were soft and warm making my insides feel all fuzzy and warm. I always want him to see like this.
------------------------------
As I grabbed my lunch tray I looked around the cafeteria. I saw Eunhyuk stand up and leave Sungmin with a pretty uptight frown. Wondering what happened to the two of them, I decided to sit next to Sungmin.
“Hey Donghae.” He grinned at me weirdly. I gave him a nod and proceeded to eat my food. It was a bit hard to eat peacefully when he kept giggling every time I took a bite. Also he kept starring at me without touching his food.
“Uhhhh…Sungmin are you ok?” He blinked at me before grinning once again. Without hearing anything from him, I shrugged it off and took a sip from my juice pouch.
“You like Eunhyuk right?” I choked on my drink and dropped the pouch. Now coughing, Sungmin decided to strike his hand against my back in hopes of stopping me from coughing. As soon as the coughing subsided I slapped Sungmin’s hand away.
“W-what are you talking about!?”
“Donghae your blushing.”
But I like Kibum. Kibum Kibum Kibum. Sungmin’s grin only grew awfully wider.
“I-I like him as a friend if that’s what your implying.” I folded my arms and pouted my lips. Sungmin was totally being unreasonable.
He chuckled and patted my shoulders. “Oh Lee Donghae, then why did you tell Hankyung that Eunhyuk didn’t like him?”
“Excuse me!?” Was Sungmin some kind of ninja or stalker?
“You were jealous right? You were mad about Hankyung liking Eunhyuk which is why you told him he liked someone else. Don‘t ask, I have my sources.” He grinned. Oh how I hated it. I groaned in frustration.
Do I really like Eunhyuk? No way. But Sungmin had a point, if I didn’t like him, then why didn’t I tell Hankyung the truth? But I like Kibum. I’ve liked him for months!
“You think you love Kibum, but in actuality, it’s really just friendship.”
I was speechless. I starred at Sungmin as he innocently took a bite out of his food. This isn’t the Sungmin I know and frankly, I’m scared of him.
But the weird thing is, maybe Sungmin’s right. I looked across the cafeteria to see Kibum punching and playing around with Heechul. It didn’t phase me one bit. It’s weird cause I should be getting mad at Heechul, not Hankyung.
All these stupid thoughts were hurting my head. If only I told Hankyung the truth, stupid Sungmin would’ve left me alone.
“I don’t like Eunhyuk.” I stood up from the table and looked at Sungmin with a serious face. “Poor Donghae, I hope you won’t regret it then if Hankyung took Eunhyuk away from you.”
I swear I also hate Sungmin. But now that I think of it, I don’t want Hankyung to take away Eunhyuk from me. Maybe I do like him. Stupid Sungmin.
------------------------------
For the past few days Eunhyuk’s been avoiding me. I know he is. Every time I tried talking to him, he’d always pretend he can’t hear me. Did I do something wrong? Also, I’ve been talking to Kibum more as well. Turns out maybe I do just like him as a friend.
I admit, I do like Eunhyuk and Sungmin’s words are still in my head. But Eunhyuk ignoring me is really irritating me. He even stopped showing up to our practices after school. It was beginning to piss me off.
“Stupid Eunhyuk.” I mumbled as we took a break. Hankyung took a seat next to me and passed me a water bottle.
“What did you say about Eunhyuk?” He looked at me curiously as he lifted a brow. Does he still like Eunhyuk? It’s really irritating when he’s always talking about him.
“Nothing.” I took a gulp from the water and used my towel to dry off my forehead.
“So when are you going to tell Eunhyuk you like him?”
“W-what!?” I looked at Hankyung shocked. “Sungmin told me.” Oh, that explains it.
I sighed. Even if I did like Eunhyuk, he seems to not like me. Now that he’s avoiding me, I don’t think I’ll ever find the perfect time to tell him. Wait a minute…
“Don’t you like Eunhyuk?” Hankyung didn’t look mad at all. He laughed and leaned on the window in the room. “Nope. I was just helping you.” Now I was more confused. How was making me think you liked Eunhyuk helping? “If I haven’t told you I liked Eunhyuk, you wouldn’t have realized that you were jealous and liked him right?”
“Shut up.” Hankyung merely laughed at me and resumed to looking out the window.
“Maybe now you’ll stop giving me those death glares.”
“I said shut up Hankyung.”
------------------------------
On the next day, I finally found the courage to finally tell Eunhyuk about my feelings. I did a lot of thinking last night after I took him home, but I think I’m finally ready.
I walked into class surprised to see Eunhyuk there. He usually comes late to class, but today he’s 30 minutes early. I took a seat next to him, startling him in the process.
“Hey Hae.” He whispered shyly while facing away from me. I only smiled and nod back. Today, I felt really confident with Eunhyuk this time (sadly thanks to Sungmin and Hankyung). All the stupid mess cleared up and I just need to clear things with Eunhyuk.
“I hate you Lee Hyukjae.” I made myself sound deep and serious. He turned his head towards me shocked.
“W-w-why?” He stuttered in a unhappy tone. I only shook my head in disappointment.
“Because you make things awkward between us.” I leaned in closer to him, his cheeks were turning a slight color of pink but he still looked sad. I couldn’t help but find it cute.
“But I’m here now, to end it.” I moved my lips onto his. His face was heating up as I kissed his soft lips, I knew I was going to get addicted to this. I pulled back and starred at his now embarrassed face.
He covered his mouth and muffled out my name. He was just too cute. Without a second thought I hugged him tightly.
“Be mine?”
“But what about Kibu-”
“I asked you to be mine right?”
I smiled at him as he showed me his gummy smile. This was different from his usual smiles, but I liked it even better.
“Yes.” Eunhyuk snuggled into the crook of my neck and exhaled against my skin.
Now everything was just perfect and all my worries are cleared. I was with Eunhyuk and I’ve never felt happier. I kissed the top of his forehead.
“PDA PDA PDA PDA!!!!” I turned to see Sungmin and Heechul smirking at us. Eunhyuk pushed me away and was furiously blushing in embarrassment while I glared at the two for ruining the moment.
But it didn’t matter, cause now that I have Eunhyuk, I’m never letting go. I grabbed a hold of his hand firmly and smiled at him.
Never letting go…
