******************************
“ Eunhyukkie!!”
Oh no, there we go again. I slowly turn back to face my running-because-already-late best friend. I look over his shoulder and see he is riding another car. Yesterday it was Mercedes, now it is limousine. Huh, rich guy! Of course every time they will change their car!
“ Hey, Hae!” I greet him.
“ How the progress?” asks him, while grinning like a mad.
“ Huh? What progress?” I ask him back.
Donghae frowns a little and narrows his eyes at me. I just stare at him innocently- like, totally innocent! Che, of course I know what the progress is! I just don’t want to remember anything about it! Total humiliation!
He reaches out his hand and flicks my forehead. “Don’t you pretend to forget about it, Hyukjae!”
“ Fine! I know!” I exclaim while nursing my aching forehead.
“ So, how the progress?” He asks me again.
“ No progress at all” I mumble and begin to walk away.
“ Ehhh!??” He shrieks. “But why!?” He nags while keeping his pace with me.
I scoff silently. How it’s supposes to have a progress if I don’t even talking with him, duh? I reach to my locker and put all my books inside it. Donghae follows my actions, but still babbling about -why-are-you-don’t-make-any-progress- or something like that. Sometimes I feel like I want to sew his mouth. Grr. Thanks to Heaven he’s my only best friend!
“ Come on, we’ll be late to class” I drag him to our class.
And thankfully, he doesn’t nag me about -you-should-confess-at-him- thing in class until recess. We sit at our usual place; under a big shaded tree behind our block. In front of our spot, there is the field, where the guys usually there when recess and after school, to play soccer.
As I’m busy munching my own made tuna sandwich, I suddenly see a glimpse of someone that I totally don’t want to see at that time. I glance at Donghae to make sure he doesn’t notice that person. And when I’m sure he doesn’t, I silently look at that person.
He was playing soccer with his friends, and of course, Kibum also there. I sigh softly, I said I don’t want to see him, but I silently am looking at him. What a denial! And I notice how Donghae’s eyes being practically sparkling when he sees his Kibum.
I watch him running along the field, skillfully controlling the ball at his feet before kicks it to the goal when he gets the chance. I’m practically cheers when I see that. Donghae, who is busy in his little world, tasting the delicious, scrumptious and yummy food, made by his personal chef plus with fanboy-ing for his Kibum, quickly looks at me curiously.
“ Are you okay, Hyukkie?” asks him, worriedly.
“ Yes” I cough to cover my embarrassment. “Perfectly okay”
“ Okay then” He gulps down the last bite. “Let’s back to the class”
I stand up, dusting off my pant and head off to class with Donghae, after Donghae shouts Kibum’s name to attract the younger attention, and blows kisses to him. And little did I know, someone from the field is watching us, intently.
The class is chaos. No teacher. All of us are doing our own work. The guys, like usual, pulling a prank to each other, sometimes will disturb the girls. Some of the girls are gossiping. I let out a desperate sigh, and suddenly, I heard the gossiping girls talk about the ‘Prince’. My ears twitch and I immediately straighten up.
“ Hey, did you hear?”
“ What? What??”
“ ‘Prince’ likes someone!”
And a really huge gasp echoes from the gossiping group. My heart somehow feels it stops from beating as I suddenly feel the blood is not rushing through my veins.
“ How do you know about this?”
“ My friend that is same class with ‘Prince’ asks ‘Prince’ himself because she always saw ‘Prince’ sighs softly and looks outside the door, like he’s looking for someone!”
“ O-mo! Do you somehow know who the girl that he likes is?”
“ I also don’t know” The information-girl sighs softly.
The others whine. I slump on my desk lifelessly. Oh my dear God and his holy thing, he’s already likes someone else. It’s that mean I don’t have any chance with him? That’s what you get if you don’t confess early, Hyukjae. I then see Donghae comes to me. He must wants to scold me for being a dumb for not confessing when I’ve a chance, at that time.
Oh, there he is, plopping down next to me. Get your ears prepare, Hyukjae. He’s already opens up his mouth. In count of 3! 3… 2… 1!
“ Hyukkie-ah” He calls me softly. I instantly look at him with a bewildered expression.
“ You still your chance!” He grabs both of my hands.
“ What??” I ask him, clueless.
“ He only likes someone. Not want to marry with that person. So you still have your chance!”
I feel into a silent. “What if he does not accept it?” I ask softly.
Donghae lets out a sigh and pats my cheek affectionately. “You don’t know if you don’t confess yet”
But he likes another person!! How am I supposes to confess at him!!? … But it’s also your fault, Lee Hyukjae. Who’s the one that don’t want to confess earlier? Gahhh!!
“ Fine” I made up my mind. “I’ll confess at him, this evening…”
Donghae practically weeps in glee and hugs me so tightly like he wants to kill me by cutting my respiratory system. Okay, Hyukjae. You’ve made up your mind you want to confess this evening. Somehow I want to take back my sentence. The problem is, do I have a gut to do the confession?

“ Really? Hyukjae-hyung wants to confess at him?”
Kibum asks again as he still not believe what his Donghae-hyung told him.
“ Really, Bummie!” Donghae says in enthusiasm with his eyes wide and hands flailing.
I just stand at Donghae’s side, slightly groaning. Kibum looks at me while raising his eyebrow.
“ Seriously, hyung?” asks Kibum.
“ Yes, freaking yes! Can we stop talking about this!” I huffs slightly.
“ Okay, fine. Don’t be mad at Bummie!” Donghae pouts at me.
Urgh! It’s not that I want to raise my voice. I just don’t feel comfortable when we’re talking about this thing. I’m nervous, you know? Nervous! My head is spinning because the oxygen can’t reach it. My heart is thumping to furious making I feel sick. Arghh!
“ Sorry, Kibum” I apologize.
“ It’s okay, hyung” Kibum gives me a reassuringly smile.
Oh well, what had said have to be done, right? I have to confess to him, and have to accept whatever the fact is with all my heart.
“ I need to prepare my heart” I mumble as I clutch my left chest.
