One more try…
After the incident of “The Call”, Donghae stopped calling Yoona. He was afraid if he hurt her.
He wanted her, to make her as his own. But he was afraid is his feeling that he kept after so long will be crushed just like that when she rejected him. Maybe the idea of loving her from far like this is better. This heart of him is aching to see her, to beat fast when he saw her smile, to feel the rush running in his vessel when their skins touch.
He did not see her for the next few weeks though he secretly wishes they would bumped into each other, so he took the path where he usually see her there but no luck. Until he went to China, he did not see her.
A few months in China and running around all over Asia, he returned to Korea for Dream Concert. And he did not see Yoona still. Maybe she was too busy he assumed.
A few mothns not seeing Yoona made him think a lot. He asked for Leeteuk’s opinion for the first time regarding this matter
“I really don’t encourage you to do that because Yoona is my favorite but favarotism aside, it’s not like I can stop your heart. My suggestion? Go and confess. Even if you are rejected, it’ll be good to know that your heart has power to go through the pain. And you will let go and reminiscence this as a good memory” said the leader.
And went to serious Siwon
“I know you like her. It’s in your eyes. I can tell. But now it’s not a good timing. Maybe letting go is better. Wanna sleep with me tonight?” and Siwon got a series of pillow bombing after he said that.
He took the words into consideration. If he had to make a move, he should be extra careful. His life is being watched by the fans all over the world. If he really said this kind of things openly, people might hate Yoona. And people might hate him too.
The first thing he did after he touched down was to find Yoona’s address. Though he still have a jet legged, he need to confirm whatever it is in his heart.
Donghae knocked the door twice. The house was hard for him to find. And thanks to the navigator, it works wonder.
There was no answer.
He knocked again.
He heard sounds from inside of the house and the door opened.
Donghae bowed down to the elder man in his late 40’s. Yoona’s father always have a welcoming face.
“Annyeong Haseyo uncle”
“Oh, Super Junior… you are Super Junior right?” he said. Donghae smiled. Due to too many members in the group, maybe it’s hard for him to remember names.
“Yes. I am Lee Donghae”
“Oh, yes, I do recognize your face. I only don’t recall your name. Sorry about that” he said with a smile on his face. “Are you perhaps, looking for Yoona? She is not at home…”
“No uncle, I want to talk to you”
They settled down in the living room. Yoona’s house was exceptionally big for a family of three. There was a family potrait of Yoona, her sister and her father but he could hardly see any picture of her mother. There were pictures of Yoona when she was small. Her smile stays the same as Donghae looked at the picture. Her smile is still as warm as when she was little.
“That was Yoona when she was four” suddenly Yoona’s father came in from the kitchen with two glasses of tea in his hand.
Donghae felt embarrassed he was caught looking at her pictures.
“She is pretty”
“Indeed she is. Otherwise, a young man like would not be here to ask about her”
Donghae smiled as he musters the courage to ask what was on his mind. And he spoke what was on his mind.
Now or Never…
A few days after Dream Concert and a busy schedule in between, Yoona and the rest of the members managed to get one day rest. For the past few months, she has been a good sister and listens to what her sister said, to take her minds of Donghae because it will never work out like she wishes. And Donghae was being good too by keeping himself off her. Since he get a good sermon by her sister, he stopped contacting her, probably deleted her number of her phone.
She was lying on her bed, with her laptop in front of her, replying UFO messages sent by the fan. She was alone at home now since everybody went out already. Taeyeon, Fany and Jesicca went to watch movie, Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, Seohyun and Yuri went out to the new eatery place suggested by Sooyoung while Sunny went back home to see her niece. The members did ask her to go with them but she doesn’t feel like going out. Bed is more tempting than any other thing outside of the world.
While she had fun lying down and doing nothing, her phone then rang. The ringtone was a general ringtone, for any numbers. Maybe it was her members asking her to go out.
But I have set a specific ringtone for unnie-duel
Yoona reached out for her phone and looked at the screen. It’s not any number in her phonebook, she never save that number before.
Hiash, whoever wants to disturb me
But on a second thought, the call might be an important call. She flipped open her phone.
“Yobseyo?”
“Yoona-yah…”
The voice was so familiar. The voice that she haven’t heard for the past few months. But because she was too surprised, she went all quiet. And who’s number is this?
“Yoona-yah, where are you?”
“I’m… oppa, why are you calling me?”
“I miss you. I miss you so much I become crazy. I miss you Yoona”
His voice was sad and he sounds bad too. Like he had flu or something.
“oppa…” she wants to take care of his sickness but then she remembered what her sister told her months ago…
‘He is only a virus, an infection. Take a medicine and wiped him away’
It all came back to her naturally.
“Yoona-yah… can you please come and meet me tonight? I checked your schedule with your manager already and he said you have nothing to do early tomorrow. Can you come and meet me tonight at office?”
“Oppa… I can’t” she said. But her hearts aches terribly. She needs to stay strong.
“No, you have to come. I have things that I need to talk to you about. Please Yoona…”
‘If he loves you, he will come to you’
“Okay”
Later that night, she went out. She dress simple, T-shirt with skinny jeans and sweater. Maybe she will end this once and for all. So after this he will treat her like a sister, so he could go chase around girls with her not having feelings for him.
Yoona walked ever so slowly to the place where they promised to wait, an empty room besides the basement practice room. And walking there alone gave her goosebumps cause the place look eerie. But then she saw Donghae waited for her outside of the room alone.
Donghae was famously known for being afraid of ghost but he was standing there alone. And all the trainees went home she guessed cause the environment was exceptionally soundless.
Donghae smiled when he saw her, but Yoona remain emotionless. As she reached closer, Donghae grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace.
“What took you so long? I was alone for the longest three minutes of my life. The trainees just went back three minutes ago” he hugged her tighter.
Yoona was so surprised. Some kind of ghost must have possessed him right now.
Yoona squirmed under his skin, trying to push him away. This is not right she thought. She was here to break any heart that strings her heart with him. But what is this now? This is not what she had in mind!
“Oppa, let me go… people will see us”
“I miss you”
Okay the ghost that possessed Donghae oppa is a romantic ghost!
Donghae let Yoona go at last after Yoona struggle to let herself go from his hug.
“I have something to tell you” Donghae said.
“Me too”
“I won’t let you go first. I want to talk and you listen. Now listen. A few days ago I went to your house. I met your father…”
“What???”
“Yes. I asked for his permission, to date you…”
Yoona heart dropped. Her brain is not functioning. Is he confessing now???
“What did my father said?” she looked worried, her eyes refused to meet him. She looks around her, look at the ceiling; look at the world around her but not him…
“He will be okay of you want it. If you want me… so now…”
What now?
He held both of her hands, squeezing it lightly.
“Will you be my girlfriend?”
“Huh?” first her brain, now her ear. One more thing he did, she will call for cemetery reservation.
“I want you… I want you since the first day I saw you, I want you. I am jealous when you can talk with Leeteuk, when you can laugh at Henry’s jokes, when you can hit Heechul when he hit you. But I don’t want to be your brother, I am not here to be your brother. I want to be your boyfriend. Let’s date secretly, let’s hug when no one is looking, let’s kiss when no one is watching…”
Her heart beat faster. Her face was hot. The sweater she wore, she wants to take it off cause suddenly the temperature of the room rose.
What kind of ghost is this romantic? She thought.
At last Yoona looked up, to confirm who was her right now, Lee Donghae the person or Lee Donghae the other.
Donghae looked at her with his eyes. His eyes looked tired.
And naturally Yoona caressed his face and held his face in her hand. He was hot, like he had fever. Donghae closed his eyes as Yoona touched his face.
His hands already travel at Yoona’s waist, waiting for her to answer his quest.
“Yoona-yah…”
“Who’s number that you use just now to call me?”
“Coordi Noona. I’m afraid you’ll never pick up if you see my name” he said innocently.
“How long have you been down with fever?” she asked like a concern mother.
“Just yesterday”
“Take care of your health before doing this thing.. This confessing thing…” she said. She is obviously new to this kind of thing, though she had a few male confessing to her, none of them had hugged her, or put their hands on his waist like Donghae did. If it’s just anyone, Yoona might have slapped him already.
“So… is it a yes?”
“What did my father told you oppa?”
“To ask you and to make sure you said yes”
“How do you make me say yes?”
Donghae closing the gap of their faces, tilt his head, lightly kissed Yoona’s lips. Yoona was shocked. Her eyes wide open.
“Are you going to say yes now?”
Yoona was shocked that she covered her face with her hands. It was hot. Is she blushing in front of Donghae? How many times has she blushed? This is so embarrassing!
Donghae took her hand away from her face.
“You blushed… did I steal your first kiss?” he asked her.
Yoona did not answer him but she just pursed her lips.
He hugged her.
“I love you Yoona, please don’t say no…”
“Yoona smiled. Her love has been answered. She doesn’t have made the wall. The ice between them melted. This is not the reason she was here in the first place.
“Oh…” he said, letting her go, held her shoulder.
“What did you want to say just now?”
“Oh that… that I don’t want to see you anymore…” he looks upset
“As nothing… cause you are my boyfriend now…” he smiled.
Slowly, he kissed her.
The kiss that kiss the pain away.
Deep kiss that wipe the worries away.
Passionate kiss that will bring new memories to them.
And the mouthed “I love you” in between the kisses.
A few days later Yoona was down with fever and the members wonder where she got it from since everyone else was healthy.
Never meant to be… if you never tried… fate are playing on them and bring them together.
