~ Hyoyeon's view ~

“Yah, unnie! Quit chewing on your tongue ring so loud!” Sooyoung's voice interrupt my thoughts as I looks up from my phone screen to notice everybody staring at me.

“Oh, I'm sorry....I didn't know it was that loud.” I mutter softly before laying back against the soft couch cushion that's settled in the dorm room living room.

I kept to myself at this time because I was nervous about how I acted in front of Donghae earlier....I think I made it obvious that I like him more than anything.

'I can't believe I did that...' I thought silently to myself as I continued to chew on my tongue ring, remembering when I asked him for his number and to hang out later on.

“Did you wanna do something later on?” I ask in almost a whisper; where it even surprised myself at how nervous and quiet my voice sounded with my head hung low.

Donghae offers me his million dollar smile as he nodded his head and hands me his phone for me to add my number to the phone book widget.

“Yeah, what do you think we should do?” He asked as he took my phone and quickly added his number to my phone book widget.

I was still surprised that he had even said yes as I chew my tongue ring in silence for a brief moment; thinking to myself. “Uhm....maybe just catch a movie or something?” I then looked up at Donghae with slight hope flashing in my eyes.

Donghae looks down at me with his head tilted to the side before he nods quickly. “Sure...maybe a comedy or a scary movie?” His smile is softer and that smile makes my heart jump a mile out of my body.

I stood there praying that he couldn't hear my heart pounding almost out of my chest. “A...uhmm, a scary movie would be cool since I haven't seen any good ones lately.”

“There's Insidious Chapter Two out or did you wanna just stop by my place and hang out there? Order some food and watch a few movies.” Donghae pushed his hands into his pockets as my head shoots up when I hear Donghae's name being called by Eunhyuk from across the hall.

“We can hang out at your place if you're alright with me being there...” I look over in the direction where I heard the voice as Eunhyuk waves to me with his famous gummy smile and I smile slightly while waving back quickly. “I think you're wanted by Hyuk oppa.”

Donghae chuckled softly as he looked over his shoulder at Eunhyuk and waves to him; motioning that he'll be with him in a few minutes and he nods back. “Here's the address.” Donghae takes a sharpie from his pocket and scribbled the address on the back of my hand before squeezing my petite palm quickly.

Feeling a deep pink blush spread over my cheeks from Donghae squeezing my delicate hand with his. “O-okay. Oppa...” I continued my silent prayers that now my stutter wasn't noticeable when I spoke since I'm still obviously nervous about hanging out with my longtime crush. “I-I'll see you tomorrow night then.”

Donghae smiled and nodded his head as I bow quickly towards him. “No need to bow to me.” Donghae then tips my chin up so he could look down at my face. “That blush looks really cute on that beautiful face.” He says as he taps my cheek lightly with the pads of his fingertips and waves to me after grabbing his things.

The slight blush that spread over my cheeks suddenly grew deeper because of Donghae's words and I place my open palm over my cheek; turning in the other direction to walk back to the others in SNSD with excitement still racing through me because I finally worked up the courage to ask him to hang out.

---SNSD DORM---

Not being able to sleep much and my phone kept vibrating on the nightstand beside my bed; I finally decided to get up and make some tea to help me catch a few more hours before the others and myself had to be up in the practice room.

Grabbing my phone and making my way out of the room quietly so I doesn't wake my roomie and closes the door again; walking down to the kitchen area to look through the cupboards for a box of bagged tea.

My heart was racing as the pot of water was boiling on the stove top and I lean back against the counter top as I thought about what finally gave me the courage to ask him out.

“He's insanely handsome...why would he want to go out with me? Maybe he just feels sorry for me and didn't want to hurt my feelings...” I mutter to myself as I cross my arms under my breasts as I continue going through my thoughts in silence.

'He's denied a date with Jessica and she's absolutely breath-taking while people call me the ugly member of Girls' Generation....has Lee Donghae gone insane?' More thoughts race through my head as I sigh to myself before humming Super Junior's No Other while I fix myself a large mug of blueberry white tea.

Sitting down on a chair by the island in the kitchen; I wrap my slender fingers around the warm mug and dips the tea bag into the hot water repeatedly while I chew the inside of my cheek.

“Maybe I should just cancel so he doesn't feel like he has to date me so he won't hurt my feelings if he said no.” I whisper to myself before taking a slow sip of my hot tea; almost jumping out of my seat when I hear my phone vibrating from a phone call on the island top.

Picks my phone up and almost passes out when I see it's Donghae calling me at almost three in the morning. “Mm..hello?” I answer the call in a low voice; hoping I don't sound nervous or too tired on the phone.

“Hey, I was just checking to make sure you didn't give me a bogus number to avoid going out with me.” Donghae's voice sounded cheery but also tired when he spoke as I feel an immediate blush tint my cheeks a soft pink color.

“A-ani, oppa...I would never do something like that.” my reply is quick and obviously embarrassed sounding before I cough quick to clear my throat when I speak again. “What are you doing awake at this time?”

I can hear what sounds like clothes being fumbled with in the background as Donghae answers my question. “I was actually just going to go and have a caffeine fix and was wondering if you'd be willing to join me? I can come and pick you up if you say yes.”

Looking around the dimly lit kitchen and hears nothing behind me or anything, a smile quickly begins to cross my lips as I relax in my own skin slowly. “Uhm...sure! I'd love to but what's open at like three in the morning?”

“Awesome! I'll be at your dorm in a few minutes and I'm pretty sure there's a diner open somewhere we can go to.” Donghae replies while I now set her mug down and rushes to my room as quietly as possible to pull on some better clothes.

Sets myself on tugging on some plain black skinny jeans and a white tank top with a sewn in bra, before slipping my arms through the sleeves of a black, red and white plaid flannel shirt; I finally have a second to reply. “Oh, sounds good to me...I guess, I'll see you in a few minutes then?”

“Yep, see you soon Hyo~” Donghae answers back before saying bye and hangs up while I hang up as well and pushes my phone into the sewn in bra of my tank top that reveals my firmly shaped breasts and I slip on some socks and a pair of black and white converse shoes that reach my ankles before grabbing my purse and leaves my room quietly.

Walking back to the kitchen; I almost jump out of her skin and nearly yelps in surprise when I see Seohyun sitting at the island and drinking from the mug of tea as the young maknae offers a sleepy smile in my direction. “Unnie-ah~ Why are you up...? Going somewhere?”

“Uhm..well...eheh. No?” I immediately regret my answer and mentally kicks myself in the ass as Seohyun's eyes narrow suspiciously at me and she frowns a little.

Seohyun has always been the one to know immediately when someone is lying to her as she raises her eyebrows. “Who are you meeting, unnie-ah?”

My usually pale skin flushes a deep scarlet as I inhale a deep breath; wanting to tell Seohyun about Donghae but doesn't know how she's going to react. “I'm just going out to get some coffee since I can't really sleep...that's all”

The young girl's eyes remain narrowed while contemplating my story before finally shrugging her shoulders and nodding her head as she goes back to sipping the tea. “Oh, why didn't you just say that?”

Feeling bad about half lying to someone who's been like a sister to me; I'm about to tell Seohyun the truth when I feel my phone vibrate against the top of my left breast and I pull it out to see a text from Donghae; -t- 'I'm here~'

I push my phone back in my shirt and kisses Seohyun's cheek before saying bye quickly as I head out the front door and locks it behind me.

Makes my way down the porch steps and rushes to the passenger door of Donghae's car before climbing in with a wide smile plastered to my lips.

“Hey, oppa~” I say in a cheery tone while pulling my belt on and buckles myself in as I turn my head to face him; immediately melting at how handsome he looks with his hair slightly disheveled and the sleepy look in his eyes before smiling softer at his wide smile on his lips.

“Hey...why'd you come running out of there like you were being chased?” Donghae replies while pulling away from the curb and drives down the street towards town as he keeps his eyes on the road with one hand on the wheel and the other rested on his right thigh.

Inhaling a deep breath while turning a soft shade of a light pink at his question and I brush a few strands of my hair back from my face before tucking it behind my ear and thinks silently if I should be honest with him or continue to lie.

“I was just trying to hurry so I wouldn't wake any of the others because they'd ask questions and everything about us hanging out.” Instantly covers my mouth with my palm in lightening speed; feeling insanely stupid and just wishes I had lied to him too.

But my embarrassment disappears and is replaced by surprise when Donghae laughs softly and shakes his head while stopping at a red light before turning to face me with a crooked grin. “You think they'd be jealous if they knew I was planning on taking you out on dates and stuff?”

I am instantly floored from his question as the words racing through my head rapidly and can't form the sentence I want to ask but finally exhales my deep breath while continuing to tuck my hair behind my ears.

“Well...kind of...also because of you denying Jessica a date, I didn't want her being mad at me or anything and accusing me of stealing you or something like that...” I honestly feel bad about admitting this about my own band mate but I know that Jessica crushed on Donghae longer than I have and this would most likely cause tension.

Donghae's eyes widen a little at my words and he exhales a deep breath while turning his eyes back to the road when the light turns green and he starts driving again. “Look...she's pretty and all but I honestly just see her as no more than a good friend.”

I could sense that he's tired of the topic of Jessica and him when he's been denying rumors about the two for a few years now and I decide to drop the subject quickly since I really hate seeing him stressed, annoyed or upset about anything.

“Well, I was just saying that I didn't want any drama starting since we're hanging out together and there could be rumors about us...I know how you have denying a lot of rumors and that this one would hurt you because of who I am and such...” my voice grows quieter as the end of my sentence trails off.

Donghae's eyebrows raise a little at my words and he frowns a bit while glancing at me out of the corner of his eye. “What do you mean by that? I wouldn't mind it at all since I usually have scandals with pretty girls like you...it's nothing new to me.”

My heads turns back to face Donghae's side profile and chews the inside of my bottom lip while tilting my head to the side with confusion obviously taking over my expression from his words.

“But...I'm not pretty like every other girls you sleep with and have dating scandals with...I'm the ugly one of SM, remember?” I say calmly; not even bothered by admitting the truth about it these days before a soft sigh passes my lips while remembering the many comments of my looks that I've heard and read online.

Watching the road carefully, Donghae's frown grows deeper at my words about myself and he shakes his head while turning into the parking lot of an all night diner before parking the car and kills the engine as he turns in his seat to face me.

“Hyoyeon...you're a breath-taking, talented, kind hearted and wonderful woman...you are not ugly at all in any way. You can't let people put you down because those are just words that are obviously false and you have to ignore them...I know it's hard but once you're able to ignore them; you' be just fine.”

Donghae speaks so seriously without his gaze adverting from my face causing my expression to soften and feels a light pink blush beginning to tint my cheeks once again not just from his words but also since he's making full eye contact with me.

“It's not easy and it actually hurts me deeply but I try to smile even though I feel like crying from their words because I've heard that my whole life that I'm not pretty.” I sigh again softly under my breath while revealing my true feelings when a lot of people would just feel like I'm fishing for compliments and not know that this is truly how I feel daily.

Taking me by sudden surprise, Donghae suddenly cups my cheeks in his palms while smiling at me and leans forward as he presses a light kiss to my forehead before leaning back. “Trust me...you're insanely beautiful and that's why I'm happy you asked me out because I was thinking of how I could ask you out on a date.”

“Y-you wanted to go on a date with me?” My blush only continues to deepen to a soft red as his lips move from my forehead and I risk the chance by gazing up at his face. “You didn't say yes just because you felt bad for me and didn't want to hurt my feelings?”

Donghae immediately laughs hard at my last question and he shakes his head; obviously deeply amused by my doubting thoughts and he releases my cheeks before unbuckling his belt and opens the driver's door so he can climb out.

Closing his door quickly and walking around to the passenger side, Donghae opens my door while holding one of his hands out for me to take. “I said yes because I actually do want to get to know you better, Hyo.” Donghae replies as I take my seat belt off and places my hand in his while climbing out of the car.

I close the passenger door and is about to pull my hand from Donghae's but he laces our fingers together as he locks the car and leads me towards the front doors of the small diner while I only spot like three others cars in the lot.

“Do you really mean that, oppa?” asks softly while squeezing Donghae's hand gently with my own and crinkling my nose up when a sudden rush of wind blows my flannel shirt open; revealing my tank top as my skin turns red from the rush of wind and I instinctively cuddle against Donghae's side while desperately trying to cover my body again.

Donghae wraps his arm around my shoulders to keep me warm until he pulls me inside the heated diner while trying to avoid staring at my chest and coughs as he helps to fix my flannel shirt before offering me a light smile.

“Yes, I do mean it, Hyoyeon...why do you doubt me when I'm being 100% serious?” Donghae replies to my question as he leads me to a booth and slides into one side while I slip into the spot across from him as I button the middle two buttons of my flannel shirt.

I bite down on my bottom lip after catching Donghae's eyes on my breasts and I raise my head to gaze at him from across the table when I reply. “I don't know...I guess I'm just used to men not being into me without having like a bet going on or something.”

While he goes through the menu, Donghae silently selects what he wants and he raises his eyebrows at my words while frowning. “Guys have made bets involving you?”

Hearing a hint of almost anger in Donghae's voice when he asks me that question and I meekly nods my head as my way of replying while remembering a past incident where two guys made a bet that the one who could have sex with me first would get a hundred dollars.

Glad that I caught them before anything happened, I have since then had trouble trusting men while in the agency and since I became a trainee. “It..it doesn't matter, oppa. It's all in the past and not worth bringing up.”

Quickly I lifts my menu high enough to shield my eyes and looks through it before crinkling my nose up as I settle my eyes on the beverage list on the back of the menu while desperately trying to ignore eye contact with Donghae now that he is aware of her trust issues with men.

Donghae shakes his head but notices my obvious discomfort as he sets the menu down and looks across the table at me. “You don't deserve that kind of stuff from anybody.” He states quickly and glances up when the waitress appears to take our orders while her eyes immediately glisten when she is obviously immobilized by Donghae's good looks.

The waitress then glances at me out of the corner of her eye and wrinkles her nose up before writing down Donghae's order of hash browns with cheese and a large cup of coffee with Irish Cream creamer.

Reluctantly, the waitress turns from Donghae to face me and writes down my order when I say all I want is just a plain large hot chocolate with whipped cream on top before the waitress eyes Donghae again and leaves, saying she'll be right back.

I immediately looks down as I chew chews the inside of my bottom lip; wanting to sink back into the booth seat until I disappear since I know that the waitress has the hots for Donghae and was wondering how he could be out with a girl like me.

“I-I'll be right back...” I mutter soft as I slip out of the seat quickly and rushes past Donghae into the ladies' bathroom with my back pressed against the door as the urge to cry grows more intense now and I go into the first stall, locking the door as I sit on the toilet with my face buried in my palms and the tears begin rolling down my cheeks.
