Thirty-eight
Leading Us to This New ChanceOne thing Hyukjae and Donghae didn't expect was the second – or would it be third? – date was to take them to Hyukjae's apartment and that they would be kissing intensely while Donghae was pinned against the door and trying to Hyukjae's pants.
And the truth was, they didn't even know how it started, but they didn't want to end it either.
- Let’s go in. – Hyukjae said and managed to pull Donghae into the apartment. The brown-haired man laughed, as he watched his boyfriend lock the door, and sat on the couch – So... What do you want to do?
- We have a few hours until I get home. What do you want to do?
Hyukjae sat on the couch, looked at Donghae and laughed.
- It looks like this is the first time, doesn't it?
- Yes. I'm a little nervous and anxious because I know what I want, but I don't know if we're on the same page.
- After our kiss in the elevator I'm sure we're on the same page. Also, we stopped by the drugstore to buy some condoms and I think that means something.
Donghae smiled, sat on Hyukjae's lap and whispered in his ear:
- So come on so I can show you some new things that I started to like.
Hyukjae blushed.
- Is this serious?
- Yes. – Donghae stood up – Now I can be waiting while you think about it.
Hyukjae quickly got to his feet.
- I don't want to think about anything.
Donghae giggled as Hyukjae hugged him from behind and so they went to the bedroom. Memories of a happy past surfaced as they kissed passionately and undressed. Obviously they were anxious, as it had been a while since they'd been together like this. But at the same time, the two were there to create new memories. And this time, nothing would stop them.

Hyukjae kissed Donghae's back and smiled as the brown-haired man chuckled softly and closed his eyes as he rubbed his face on the pillow. After an afternoon of making love, they were hungry but didn't necessarily want to get out of bed for a snack. They could order food – although Hyukjae didn't like it that much – and they wanted to eat hamburgers.
So, after picking up the phone, Hyukjae ordered a cheeseburger for himself and a chicken burger for Donghae. Then he hugged his boyfriend and kissed his hair – something Hyukjae has been missing all these years. Waking up next to Donghae or being next to him and kissing him made a lot of sense in his life.
- After eating, I have to go. – Donghae said as he snuggled into Hyukjae's body – Arrow probably wants to know why I'm not home.
- And what are you going to say?
- I don't know yet, but he'll believe me if I say I went shopping. I'm going to stop by the mall to buy Arrow a gift.
Hyukjae laughed.
- He'll get spoiled.
- That is true. – Donghae looked at Hyukjae – But now I'm thinking about something else.
- And what would that be?
The brown-haired man sighed, sat on the bed and replied:
- How are we going to start our couple therapy? I keep thinking about how I'm going to come up with an excuse to get out of work and go talk to someone.
- I think about it too, but because I need to find someone I'll trust 100% in the kitchen.
- Still haven't found anyone?
- Krystal and Kyuhyun want to change jobs and I'll see if they are good in the kitchen. I know Krystal learned a lot from Heechul while Kyuhyun started making the recipes of my videos at home. He even made cookies and took them to the restaurant.
- Then you get a pastry chef.
- I don't know. I love the fact that I can work with you, but I think hiring a pastry chef is only a good idea if you don't have a lot of work backlogged in the pastry shop.
- Oh, no. I've hired another pastry chef and now I can take orders for the restaurant more leisurely. Also, Ryeowook wants me to learn how to drive the van because at some point I'm going to have to deliver the desserts.
- And why don't you want to drive the van? And since when did you buy a van?
- It's been a while since we bought a van, Hyukjae. And I don't want to drive because I don't feel safe driving. Just that.
- But the time will come when you will need to do that. And I can teach you to drive if you want.
Donghae narrowed his eyes as Hyukjae laughed.
- I know how to drive.
- Then the next step is to buy a car because Arrow complained that he doesn't like buses.
This time Donghae laughed.
- I'm not going to buy a car just because Arrow doesn't like buses. And when did he say that?
- Last week, when we were coming back from football class. – Hyukjae kissed Donghae's temple – But don't be angry with him. Arrow and I love you.
- Of course you guys love me...
Hyukjae chuckled and hugged Donghae who rolled his eyes, but then ended up chuckling. And when they were about to lie down on the bed so they could wait for their snack, they heard the bell and were confused.
- Already? – Hyukjae stood up and put on his pants – That was fast and the doorman didn't even call me.
- Do you want me to help you?
- It's not necessary. – they kissed – I'll get the lunch and you can rest there because we're going to eat in the room.
- Uh, how rebellious you are.
They laughed and Hyukjae left the room, heading to the living room to greet the delivery man. However, when he opened the door, he was surprised when he saw Shindong smiling there and holding two bags. Hyukjae was speechless at the moment.
- What happened? The cat got your tongue? – Shindong laughed and entered the apartment – And why did you open the door without a shirt on?
- I was waiting for lunch.
- Shirtless? – Shindong laughed – Don't you intend to pay with cash?
Hyukjae narrowed his eyes.
- Of course I intend to pay with cash. And I love you, man, but why did you come today?
- Because I thought we could talk a little about the next video. Now that you're having trouble hiring someone at Scarecrow, I thought you might announce your intention to have more cooks.
- On video? – Shindong nodded – That would be cool. He hadn't thought of that.
- And that's why the idea man is here to help you. And I even brought beer, but I think you're busy there.
- Yeah... There's someone here with me.
- Seriously? – Shindong tried to look at the bedroom, but Donghae was smart and closed the door minutes before – Who is it? Can I meet him?
- No. Not yet. We're at the beginning of everything and I don't want to rush anything now if you know what I mean.
- I understand, but it's nice that you're meeting people. The guys told me that you and Donghae were flirting and I have to say – then he whispered – that there's a side of me that wants to see you together.
