~ Donghae's view ~

As time goes by slowly, I tap my fingertips against the marble tabletop while nodding a quick thanks to the waitress that is obviously interested with me but weirdly enough; I'm more worried about Hyoyeon and if she's alright in the restroom.

Mutters to myself about her probably falling in as I stand up, not touching my food or drink and takes Hyoyeon's purse that was sitting across from me when I make my way to the ladies' restroom.

Is about to knock and ask if she's alright in there but stops my hand when I hear Hyoyeon sob soft behind the closed door and I immediately frown deep; wondering what could possibly be making her cry when we're out together.

Doesn't bother glancing around to make sure nobody is looking and shoves the door open as I step inside, letting it close behind me.

Leans against the frame of the first stall where I can hear Hyoyeon sniffling and curses silently since I've never really stuck around to know why a woman would be crying but taps the stall door with my fingertips before clearing my throat.

“Hyo...you alright?” I ask and is a bit stunned to hear the hint of worry in my own voice as I tip my head to the side when Hyoyeon sniffles and coughs to clear her throat before replying to me.

“I-I'm fine, oppa...” Frowns from hearing the crack in Hyoyeon's voice as I quickly tug the door open to find her sat on the toilet seat with a balled up bit of toilet paper in her hands, wiping at her cheeks and the corners of her eyes.

Combing my fingers through my hair before sighing soft and kneels down in front of her, unwinding a fresh bit of toilet paper before I wipe the tears from Hyoyeon's cheeks; red with heat from crying while continuing to frown. “Are you going to tell me what's wrong?”

“I just got something in my eye..that's all”. Hyoyeon's reply is so quick that I can't help but feel an amused smile cross my lips and whisper in a more softer tone. “You know that's the most common lie that a woman tells a man when she's caught crying”?

Instantly notices a soft pink blush start to cover her cheeks and I feel a soft flutter in my stomach from seeing her color fade from red to pink. 'What the hell is wrong with me?' I think silently to myself and stands, helping Hyoyeon to her feet as I lead her to the sinks.

Watches as she splashes the cold water on her face before patting the wet areas dry with a paper towel and tilts my head to the side when she looks at me while blurting out randomly. “I was crying because of the way the waitress was looking at me”.

The soft frown returns to my lips and I raise my left eyebrow in slight confusion; not understanding Hyoyeon's explanation until she continues on. “She looked at me like she was disgusted...wondering how such a handsome man like you was out with someone like me..”

Exhales a deep breath while taking a minute to think silently to myself; immediately catching on now since Hyoyeon has always been judged for her looks being so different from the other members of SNSD that she's always been quiet and nervous when it comes to these situations.

“Hyoyeon-ssi...you're a breath-taking, talented and kind person; you don't deserve the judgmental utterances from people who don't know the real you”. Keeps my eyes locked on hers when these words are actually coming from my heart and are genuine.

Steps forward and cups Hyoyeon's warm cheeks in my palms so she can't lower her eyes from mine and leans down to press my lips against the corner of her mouth gently. 'Her skin is so soft...' this thought remains silent as I stand back up straight.

“Come on, we're going.” Says firmly and hands Hyoyeon her purse before taking her hand in mine again, lacing our fingers together as I tug her kind of forcefully from the bathroom causing her to stumble behind me but nods when she's able to keep up.

“Where”? Hyoyeon's voice sounds soft from behind me as we pass the tables and the waitress with a surprised look on her face when I shoot her a glare while letting the doors slam behind us both and the wind instantly tousles her hair and messes up my own flannel shirt.

“To a place where you don't have to feel bad about yourself”. Replies quickly as I help her into the passenger seat first before climbing into the driver's side and leans back in my seat when I start the car after buckling myself into my seat.

Only sees a gentle nod from the corner of my eye and backs out of the lot before turning onto the street again since it's actually pretty much like a ghost town and only with lamp posts lighting the sidewalks.

Drives in silence for 15 minutes before pulling onto a dirt road and parks the car near a wooden marking for a parking space as I kill the ignition when I look out at the view of the ocean and the beach in front of the car as a smile crosses my lips finally.

“It's so...peaceful and pretty here, oppa”. Glances over when Hyoyeon finally speaks in a softer and more relaxed sounding voice before I nod my head in agreement, climbing out of the car when she does as I close and lock the car up.

“It is. I love coming here when I'm feeling stressed or something”. Smiles a little more and walks down the steps onto the pathway that leads us to a picnic table area as I sit down on the table of one to look out at the water.

Tilts my head to the side when Hyoyeon leans her head against my shoulder after taking a seat beside me and notices a smile finally crossing her lips. “What are you thinking about right now?” I ask her softly, hoping to not ruin the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere around us.

Watches closely as Hyoyeon inhales a deep breath and I can't help but lower my gaze to catch sight of her breasts raising and dropping each time she breathes. 'God, quit looking! She's not some other girl I can just hit and quit'. Thinks silently to myself; kicking my own ass for even staring.

“I don't know, my mind is calm and free from everything that's happened tonight...I feel good”. Sucks a sharp breath into my lungs at her reply but mainly at her when she lays back, her upper weight propped up on her elbows so her flannel lays open; her braless chest exposed more.

“How good exactly?” I mumble soft and follows her same actions but lays on my side with my free hand that's not supporting my head to rest it against Hyoyeon's thigh lightly that causes her to bite down on her bottom lip.

'Shit, I can't help it now'. My thoughts continue to play ping pong back and forth about my actions in a negative and positive war but stops instantly when Hyoyeon rolls her body over to mine; her leg slinging over my waist and pulling me tight against her pelvis.

“Really good...” her words are soft but obviously inviting as I finally lean forward, slipping my hand further up from her thigh to Hyoyeon's ribcage; my fingertips tracing them lightly through the thin fabric of her tank top.

Can't take it anymore as the urge grows too intense to resist any longer and presses my lips against Hyoyeon's fully in a hard kiss as my hand quickly sneaks its' way under her tank top to cup her bare breast in my palm; my thumb grazing the already erect nipple.

Exhales a heavy breath into her mouth as my thumb teases and circles the small nub so it grows harder under the padding of my thumb and causes enough of a kick of arousal to force a soft moan from Hyoyeon's lips into my mouth.

Moving my body around as I kneel between her legs, pushing Hyoyeon's tank top up to her neck; revealing her breasts to the gentle cool breeze before lowering my head to swirl the tip of my tongue around her pink nipple as it grows harder from my tongue.

“O-oppa...mm”. Hyoyeon's moans were soft and like music to my ears as I suck the sensitive bud into my mouth; flicking my tongue against it gently causing her to curl her fingers through my hair, tugging on it gently.

A light hiss passes through a small opening in my mouth between my teeth and lowers my hand down to the zipper of Hyoyeon's pants; tugging it down slowly as I slip my hand under the banding of her panties to brush my fingertips along her slit; wet from arousal.

“Hmph, wet for me already?” Can't help but feel arrogant about causing almost instant arousal and pleasure just from touching Hyoyeon as I suck her nipple into my mouth again.

Hyoyeon's hips buck slightly as her back arches from my fingertip now teasing her clit as it throbs under the pad of my index finger and groans lowly against her nipple from my jeans tightening from my growing erection pressing against her kneecap.

Suddenly the hot passion is gone when I hear Hyoyeon's phone ringing and I groan lowly when I lean up to sit back down on the table as she answers the phone; her words a little mixed up because of her trying to catch her breath and fix her tank top.

Ignoring her conversation, I comb my fingers through my slightly messy hair from Hyoyeon tugging on it previously as I wet my lips with my tongue; tasting her sweet breath of bubble gum.

“Oppa...I'm really sorry about that, I didn't...” Hyoyeon's words sound sad and pained almost as if she must have thought the phone call was her fault.

I chuckle softly and turn back to look at her messed up hair before fixing it quickly but frowns to myself; my eyes growing dark and narrowed.

“It's not your fault but we should leave so I can get you back to your dorm before you're missed”. Says quickly and stands up, pulling my arm free from Hyoyeon's as I walk back to the pathway that leads to the steps back to my car.

“D-did I do something wrong?” Hyoyeon asks me as she stands up and fixes her clothes and hair; obviously taken back by my sudden change of attitude.

I sigh heavily and turn back to face her while pushing my hands into the front pockets of my jeans. “I'm no good to be around...especially if you're a woman. I don't know if you know this but I really only enjoy being around women that I can hit it and quit it.”

Hyoyeon's shock is a natural reaction, of course but it almost stings me when she looks at me sadly with tears starting to form in the corners of her eyes. 'Oh, shit. I didn't mean to make her cry or feel bad about anything.' I think to myself in silence.

“Was I just another girl on that list? Did you accept going out with me just to see if you can have sex with me then walk away like nothing happened?” Hyoyeon's suggestions of me doing that to her shock me and cause me to shake my head.

“I wasn't talking about you. I'm just saying that I'm glad your phone rang because it stopped me from causing you pain”. Says lowly but loud enough for her to hear my voice; a hint of regret dripping from my tone.

I watch as she quickly wipes her eyes free of the tears and then it finally hits me like a freaking bus. 'Hyoyeon likes me...a lot too.' I instantly inhale a deep breath while shaking my head slowly in silence for less than a minute before speaking again.

“Look, I'm attracted to you, I am...but I don't want to hurt you because I love no strings attached kind of things too much to even think about being with just one person”. Feels like an ass for admitting this to a girl who obviously has been dealing with this for a while.

Chews the inside of my cheek from seeing Hyoyeon's face sink into the shadows caused by the small light post near us while I sit down on one of the near logs; rubbing my temples slowly.

“Can you please just take me home now? I-I really need to get some sleep before I have to attend my schedules later on.”

Hyoyeon's request is quick before she passes by me with a hint of coldness now shrouding her like a thick fog and I immediately regret what I said to her that night.
