Title: The reason to dance (Chapter 5)
Pairing: Eunhae
Ratings: PG
Summary: Donghae and Kibum see Eunhyuk in a restaurant with another girl. Need I say more?
Donghae's heart started to flutter, and he scrambled to keep a straight and solemn face. He tilted his head to the side, questioning, almost grave and serious. Eunhyuk quickly lowered his gaze, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. Donghae waited patiently for Eunhyuk to continue with his explanation, although he wanted to shake and hug Eunhyuk all at the same time, for saying that.
[It's all because of you.] Donghae's heart did a little flip in the chest, and it felt like soaring and taking flight into the skies.
"Well, now I know I have an admirer, I want to dance better. That glint of admiration in your eyes, that day, when I was dancing in the dance studio kind of spurred me on for this. I wanted to dance so well to gain your approval, and others too." Eunhyuk mumbled under his breath, grinning foolishly at the floor.
"Oh." Donghae replied, his heart settling down, pumping slower and slower. It was, indeed, kind of related to him, but it wasn't the way Donghae had expected it to be. He glanced down at the floor, a bit discomfited. "What I wanted wasn't just this...but something more.." Donghae thought silently to himself. Donghae's eyes widened at the thought, slapping himself on the face for such a thought.
"Aish, what was I thinking again! I need to control my thoughts myself!" Donghae shouted, earning a confused look from Eunhyuk. He hurriedly shook his head at the guy beside him, trying to clear his head of those thoughts. Eunhyuk raised his eyebrows, and burst out into laughter at the sight of Donghae in front of him. Donghae stopped shaking his head abruptly, and looked at Eunhyuk clutching his stomach, rolling on the floor, laughing hard. He couldn't help but give a snort of laughter as well, and soon was rolling on the floor beside Eunhyuk.
---After dance practice, 6pm----
"Hey, let's go for dinner together!" Donghae exclaimed happily, waving his hands into the air for no apparent reason.
Eunhyuk smiled at the boisterous mood Donghae was in, lifting his mood at once. He glanced at Donghae, who was running circles around him. He grinned, and was about to open his mouth to speak, when his phone started vibrating. He lifted a hand and motioned to Donghae, and Donghae quickly fell silent and stood beside Eunhyuk.
"Yobseyo?....Ah....Yes...Yes...Okay, I will be right there." Eunhyuk snapped his phone closed, and looked at Donghae straight in the eye. "Donghae arh, I'm sorry I can't make it today...I need to rush to some other place now...Mianhe." Eunhyuk rushed out in one breath, quickly running past Donghae.
Donghae glanced at the retreating figure of Eunhyuk, curiosity piped. He shrugged to himself, and took out his phone to ask someone else along for dinner.
---At the diner----
"Yah Kibum! Stop eyeing those expensive dishes! You exactly know how much I brought with me today, so you have to keep within those limits!" Donghae hissed across the table.
Kibum raised his eyebrows, and pouted. So Donghae's idea of a sumptuous dinner was actually sitting in a normal restaurant, when one meal could be settled for about 13 000 won. He drew his finger down the list of the dishes, stopping at the one that cost the most. He raised his gaze to Donghae, who was furiously motioning to flip the page to the student meal menu. Kibum gave a theatrical sigh, and turned the page slowly, as Donghae slowly returned to his normal breathing rate and relaxed into his chair. Kibum smiled to himself, it was so easy to get Donghae agitated. Perhaps he should help pass messages more, he would love to see Donghae fidget and squirm a bit here and there sometimes. Kibum grinned widely at the evil thought in his mind, and hurriedly erased the smile, hoping that Donghae did not notice. He glanced up from the menu to spot Donghae's expression, who was looking straight at someone sitting across the restaurant.
Kibum followed his gaze, and saw Eunhyuk helping a female into her seat. He widened his eyes, never had he thought that Eunhyuk would have a girlfriend. He grinned, unabashed. He nudged Donghae with his foot, trying to reclaim his attention. "Never thought that Eunhyuk would have a girlfriend, did you?" Kibum whispered conspiratorially.
Silence followed.
Kibum quickly turned back to Donghae, wondering at the lack of reply. The look that Donghae wore on his face, the shock, the twisting of some emotion Kibum couldn't identify, then followed by the blank expression, and Donghae quickly swivelled back to Kibum, placing his menu in front of his face in order to avoid Kibum's now piercing gaze.
"Two surprises in one go." Kibum thought to himself. Why was Donghae acting so weirdly after seeing Eunhyuk together with another girl? They were classmates afterall, Donghae should be feeling quite happy that another classmate of his got attached, to one of the most popular girls in the school. He turned to look at Eunhyuk again, to see Eunhyuk placing his palm over the hands of the female. "Wow, Eunhyuk's fast." He whispered back to Donghae, who looked up and saw the gesture. Donghae immediately glanced down.
"Ahh...Kibum, I'm sorry. I think I got a stomachache. Must be all that dancing right after my lunch. I...uhh...will be going back home now. I'm so sorry, I will make it up to you next time okay?" Donghae hurriedly grabbed his bag and left the diner, leaving Kibum open-mouthed behind, scrambling to the exit before that fierce looking waiter at the counter could further question him about the order.
---On the way home----
Donghae couldn't concentrate, he was walking randomly, he knew he was walking in the direction of his home, but he wasn't sure if he was walking in the path he always took home. The tender expression Eunhyuk had shown the girl in the restaurant just now, the way he had carefully placed his hands over hers, the way he helped her into the chair, and the way Eunhyuk had ran off immediately after receiving that phone call. His heart gave a twist, and he felt like grimacing in pain. He couldn't clearly identify the face of the female, his brain refusing to give him a clear picture of that face, his brain refusing to face up to the exact facts that were placed right in front of his eyes. He stumbled, accidentally, on the pavement, breaking his train of thoughts. He sighed to himself, and placed a hand over his eyes. He was, indeed, thinking too much. "What I really need is sleep now, my brain is messing up my thoughts." Donghae thought, beginning the proper walk back home.
---The next day---
Eunhyuk rushed into the classroom. He thought of something suddenly last night, and was eager to carry it out before Donghae came to school. He flung his bag onto the table, and rushed to a certain guy who was sitting behind him, reading, absorbed.
"Yah Kibum! Tell me more about Donghae!" Eunhyuk nudged Kibum, trying his best to get Kibum's attention. Kibum shifted in his seat, reluctant to give up his plot at this juncture. Eunhyuk, noticing that his plan was failing terribly, continued to pester Kibum even harder, shaking Kibum left and right, until the book in front of Kibum became nothing but a blur.
"Hyung!" Kibum whined. "I was at the part where the main male lead was about to find out that he was being cheated on, hello! This writer has a flair for such relationship problems, and I really want to read it! Unlike someone here, I'm not a relationship expert!" Kibum glanced slyly at Eunhyuk, smiling at the stunned reaction.
"Relationship expert?" Eunhyuk thought, confused. "Are you talking about.....?"
Kibum sighed inwardly, realising how dense his hyung can be at times. "Yes, you. Donghae and I saw you yesterday at that restaurant. I'm surprised how you managed to hook up with that girl. Give me some advice, will you?"
Eunhyuk stared at Kibum, shocked. How did they manage to find out, and why did that guy have to be with Donghae at that exact time, at that exact location? Coincidence? Fate and destiny weren't this kind to Eunhyuk before. Eunhyuk shook his head furiously, trying to clear up the misunderstandings. He, of all people, did not want Donghae to misunderstand what happened last night. "Donghae? When did my focus become Donghae?" Eunhyuk thought, even more perturbed now.
Kibum glanced up from his book, noticing that Eunhyuk had not mentioned a single word or moved a single step from his desk. "Alright hyung, if you really want to know something about Donghae, Donghae is excited about something, and he always disappears right after class that day to go somewhere, alone, by himself. He refuses to tell me what it is, but he always rushes there on that particular day for some reason. And that day seems to be approaching soon..." Eunhyuk raised his eyebrows, transmitting the fact that he needed more information. He waited calmly beside Kibum, who seemed not to notice that Eunhyuk got more fidgety each passing second.
"Kibum is seriously incorrigible." Eunhyuk grumbled. "Alright! I'm treating you during break, now tell me!" He spat out. Kibum smirked, happy that his plan had successfully taken flight. "Well...right. He told me he had to go to this place and be alone by himself, to release his feelings and reflect on the whole year. His annual 'cleansing' day. He always comes back, refreshed, and peaceful." Kibum took out his handphone and played with it, searching for the exact date on the calendar.
"Well hyung, it's in October. 14th October."
