~ Eunhyuk's View ~

Inhales a deep breath as I gaze over at Seohyun while she twists her fingers together slowly; probably feeling upset about me snapping the way that I did. “Look...I didn't mean to say it like that, I just...” My voice trails off when my thoughts begin to take over my mind.

'It's so wrong of how Donghae treats women...I especially don't want him treating Hyoyeon like that because she's too sweet of a girl to be treated like that.' Silently thinks as I park the car at the curb of a small diner before I kill the ignition.

“How long have you known that I like her?” Says soft as I keep my gaze lowered to my hands as they twist my car keys slowly while waiting for Seohyun's reply.

Wets my lips with my tongue as she looks over at me and smiles soft before she speaks. “Oppa...I see the way you look at her and it's a bit obvious when you talk to her; you tend to have a little stutter and sweat problem”.

My head shoots upright when I hear the sweat and stutter comment as I narrow my eyes at this seemingly sweet maknae and shakes my head. “Okay...the reasons behind those problems is because when I talk to her, I'm too hot from practicing and I run out of breath...”

Seohyun snorts at me and I shake my head again while refusing to give into her being one to spot my nervousness when I'm around Hyoyeon while I unlock the car; stepping out before I walk around to pull her door open with a smile.

“Don't try to change the subject by giving me that cute gummy grin”. Her words are quick and full of obvious sarcasm as she steps out and I can't help but laugh a little before closing the door, locking it once she's out.

“Well...most women just point out my gums show too much but thank you for thinking it's cute”. I can't help but turn a bit red before walking with you towards the front of the restaurant; pulling open the door.

Seohyun chuckles softly while she brushes past me and I can't help but to stare a bit longer than I normally do before following her inside; leading her to a booth in the back so we don't get recognized by anybody in the restaurant.

“You do have a cute grin, oppa...girls who say it's not; are crazy and probably blind”. I'm taken back Seohyun's words when I see her face instantly turn a bright red while she sits and covers her mouth quickly. “I...I didn't mean to make this awkward since we're here to talk about oppa and unnie...sorry, I'll just stop.”

'Wow, it's actually nice to hear that I have a nice smile from a woman even if it's not true; it's still nice and makes me feel good', I think to myself while my smile grows more amused by her reaction to blurting out what she said.

“Don't worry about it, Seo..thank you; it's really sweet of you”, I offer her my warm gummy smile as I take a menu from the waiter and glances through it slowly before gazing occasionally across the table to watch Seohyun while she reads through her menu.

“I wonder if they have gogumas here...” Seohyun's voice trails off at the end as she gazes around for someone to ask about it and I laugh quietly under my breath.

“Of course they have them here, Seo. Is that what you're hungry for?” Smiles softer so my gums aren't revealed and tips my head to the side while raising an eyebrow.

Seohyun's eyes brighten immediately like a little kid in a toy store with as she slaps the menu shut and nods her head quickly. “Please and with a Sprite to drink with a big monster bowl of steaming gogumas.”

Again, I can't help but laugh at her reaction and a thought hits my head hard, 'How come I never realized how cute she is..?' Shakes my head at the thought and sighs low enough to where Seohyun won't hear it as I continue to go through my menu before deciding on a chicken sandwich.

“Sounds good to me”, Raises my head to tell the waiter our orders and passes him the menus back while taking a drink from my glass of coke while Seo sips her Sprite.

Rubs the nape of my neck slowly before looking back at Seohyun and sighs. “Look, I don't want Hyo to get hurt by Donghae but...I honestly can't stop them from doing whatever they want. Donghae doesn't even know how I feel about her and he'd probably point out that he's trying to get with her just to rub it in my face.”

My head lowers again; feeling bad about admitting how I think Donghae would be if I told him that I'm in love with Hyoyeon.

My thoughts stop racing until Seohyun's small and delicate warm hand rests over one of mine as I glance up at her face when she smiles softly at me. “I understand oppa...I just don't want my unnie getting hurt and now I don't want you to get hurt either”.

“Seo...Donghae is going to do what he wants to do and nothing anybody around him does or say is going to stop him. Maybe this is how it's supposed to me; her realizing he's like this by going through it the hard way.”

Seohyun just nods in agreement at my statement before she sighs with her hands over her face. “If oppa hurts her, I'm gonna make Jessica unnie punch him in the neck.”

My eyes widen immediately at her words before I chuckle softly; pretty amused by her as I rub my nape gently and leans back when my phone rings so I can pull it from my pocket. “Oh, speak of the devil.” Says when I see it's Donghae before answering with a smile in Seo's direction.

“Hey Hyuk, what are you and Seo up to? You know our manager would snap if he caught you having sex with her back at the dorm.” His words are loud and obvious in a teasing manner but that doesn't stop my jaw from dropping and Seo almost choking on her drink.

“Yah! You're a perv, we're having lunch!” Replies quickly and stands before sitting beside Seo as I pat her back soft while holding the phone to my ear with my other hand while Donghae laughs loudly.

His laughter remains loud until Seo is able to catch her breath and I lean back slightly as I sigh lowly. “Hyuk, you know I'm just playing. Oh and I won't be home tonight, I have a thing with Hyo so I shouldn't be back until the morning...or afternoon.” Donghae's words hit me like rock in the face.

I can only nod lightly before sulking into my spot then is able to reply. “Oh..have fun, what are you planning on doing?” My voice comes out a bit high pitched and I glance at Seohyun when she wipes her mouth with the napkin while gazing at me with an almost hurt expression.

“Ahh, we're probably just going to grab dinner or something that chicks like to do before giving it up, ya know what I mean?” Donghae chuckles quietly before continuing. “I just had to mess with you a little about Seohyun but I need to get going; catch you later.”

Sighs again lowly when he hangs up and I hang up, dropping my phone onto the table before offering Seo a weak smile and pats her leg gently. “Find out where they're eating tonight if you can...maybe we should mess with them since they decided to mess with us.”

Seohyun only nods before a slight smile creeps across her lips when she catches on to what I'm saying as our food arrives and is set down in front of us while I silently think about how to mess with Donghae in return since he always mentioned that Seohyun was a touch one to break and he'd love to be the one to do the breaking.
