Eunhyuk's POV:

I sat on the couch with Hae by my side. I was fidgeting non stop with his parents glancing at every part of my body. I felt as if I was trying to win a beauty competition and so far the only one I seemed to gain the approval of was Hae's father.

He smiled at me as he began to speak to the two of us.

"Oh! So this Eunhyuk is the one you've always spoken about to us since you were a kid right?"

"Yeah." Hae answered. It was odd seeing Hae act nonchalantly. This whole situation had seemed so very unimportant to him. 

"Wow! So you finally were able to catch him! Hahaha!" I tilted my head to the side from the confusion.

"Dad! Don't you dare!" For the first time in the day Donghae stood up abruptly with his faced completely red.

"Eunhyukie! Guess what this stupid son of my has done for the past five years?" His face started becoming red from the laughter. I cracked a smile, nodding my head, wanting him to continue.

"Daaad!" Hae whined.

"For the past five years not only was constantly talking to me about you but he kept asking what he had to do to sweep you of off your feet! He was very cheesy. One time when you were depressed he came up to me with pouting lips and begged me to help him bake you a cake. In all honesty I'm not a cook. So when I turned down his offer he literally threw himself on the floor and began crying! It was the funniest thing I've ever seen!" he was now clutching his stomach from the laughter.

"Daad" Donghae was now sulking on the couch. 

"Ok ok I won't tell him how you kept a picture of the two of you next to your bed stand." 

"Oh god..." Hae mumbled. I just smiled. It was a bit sweet. I never had, or at least known, that anyone had loved me so deeply.

"I'll go prepare the food." Hae's mother stood up and walked out of the room. Hae was still nagging at his dad while he was laughing hard and hitting the couch to try to control himself to take notice.

Ever since I had walked into the house it seemed as if Hae's mother didn't take a liking to me.

"I'll be back I think I should help out your mother." I whispered to Hae who nodded in response. I walked to the kitchen where his mother was lowering the fire on the stove.

"Hello Mrs. Lee, Do you need help with anything?"

She looked at me carefully before putting down the spoon she was using to stir the soup.

"Just set the tables." She mumbled.

I grabbed the plates all stacked up on the counter and set them on the dinner table. The atmosphere was suffocating me. I really wanted to make her feel comfortable around me or at least become tolerable of me but she was making it very hard for me.

"Eunhyuk?"

"Yes!" I said almost too quickly.

"... Why are you dating my son?" I was baffled by her question. I mean no one really asked me that before. It was a difficult question to answer.

"W-what do you mean?" I put down the last plate I was holding.

"Well sorry if this is an inappropriate question but Donghae's mother don't you think I have a right to know if you truly like him or you're just passing time with him?"

"What? I would never do that to him! I promise. To me H-Donghae is ... hes everything." I blushed at my sudden confession. I was now glad Hae was in the living room fighting with his father so that he wouldn't hear what I was telling his mother.

"Is that so...?"

"Of course!" I didn't know where I found this new confidence but after she accused me of using Hae I couldn't stay still.

"I'll say this than. If you love my son that much don't be with him. You'll only bring him down." She stated firmly.

I couldn't believe what I had heard. Did this relationship really bother her that much?

"But I-!" before I could finish my thought Hae and his father entered the kitchen.

"Ma! Grandma said she's coming over!" Hae walked over to me and linked our hands together. I looked over at his mother who was pouring the soup in five bowls. I smiled at Hae before pulling my hand away.

"Hey what's wrong?" Hae whispered to me.

"Nothing." I smiled before taking my seat on the dinner table. Hae followed behind. I could feel his stare on my but I didn't bother to returning it. I knew he could sense something was off about me but I really couldn't reveal anything to him. 

"Are you sure you're okay?" He rubbed the back of my arm.

"Yeah... I'm just nervous, that's all."

"Mom! Dad! I'm home!!" Siwon walked into the room with a huge smile on his face.

"Welcome back." His father and mother greeted him.

"Oh! Hyukkie is here too! Ahh now I remember Hae told me about you coming!" He made his way over to the right side of me.

"Are you going to eat with us hon?" His mother asked.

"Yes mam!" He grinned. She quickly served another bowl for him. 

"So who is that 6th bowl for?" Siwon asked.

"Its for grandmother. She said she wants to meet Hyukkie." Hae grinned.

"Ah! I should have brought my boyfriend over too!"

"What you have a boyfriend?" Donghae's father gripped Siwon's shoulder.

"Kinda. I asked him out but he said he didn't care."

"So he rejected you?" Hae laughed out loud.

"Not exactly. Hes just the type to shy away when confronted with a strong and handsome man like me!" Siwon winked at me.

"Hello everyone!" An older and bubbly woman came into the kitchen. Completely different  to how I imagined her. For the past few days I had started to grow a disliking to her. I mean she kinda did ruin Donghae's future. Not to mention have a reputation of an org, that is what I heard from Kyu. 

"Grandma!" Siwon jumped out of his seat and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Woah! My boy! You've gotten a bit on the heavy side." She giggled.

"Maaaa! Its muscles!" 

"Sure honey sure!" She walked over to Hae, who surprisingly was hiding behind his bangs.

"Oh Hae dear are you still upset that I didn't bake you your birthday cake?"

"No." Hae huffed.

"I'm sorry Hae. You know I was out of town."

"I know." He sighed.

"You know what I'll do? I'll make macaroons for you tomorrow. How about it? Forgive me?" 

"Of course! I was never mad!" He jumped out his seat and pulled her into a hug. I was becoming more than curious about this woman. I should ask Hae more about her later.

Hae really was super cute when he interacted with his family.

I looked over to his mother to see if this had affected her. It had not. She simply sat on the right side of her husband. She looked at me with cold, hard stare.

"Is this young handsome man your boyfriend Donghae?"

"Yes!" 

Hae's Grandmother slowly walked closer to me with her head tilted to the side. Once she was only a few inches away from me she grabbed onto my cheeks.

"Oooh! So cute! Hae! You're lucky to snatch such a handsome young man! If I were young I'd probably snatch him from you!" I flushed at her comment 

"Thank you!" I smiled at her.

"Aww! I love his gummy smile! So adorable! Maybe I should try to steal him!" Hae abruptly stood up from his chair.

"No grandma! No matter how much I love Hyukkie is only mine!" He pouted.

"Hahah! Alright dear." She patted my shoulders before walking to sit next to her daughter.

Through out the night there were a lot of laughter emitting from the room. I would laugh as well but once in a while I would catch Hae's mother's glare. It started bothering me half way through the dinner. Her glare seemed to make me feel insecure... unwanted. I continued to constantly think about what she had asked me to do.

If you love my son that much don't be with him. You'll only bring him down.

I could never do that to Hae but would he be able overcome it? I mean sure you hear about those one true love stories but out of the billions of people in the world wouldn't he be able to find someone who is better suited for him?

If it meant Hae's happiness I would leave him. It wouldn't be easy and it might even end up killing me or worse alive but still dead on the inside. 

Was being in this relationship only hurting Hae? During the past few months I noticed his mood becoming disoriented. It was probably due to my indecisiveness but either way I had already hurt him. Keeping him next to me would surely mean that he would have to carry all my baggage. I mean I could be moody and insensitive, surely down the road this would have an effect on him. 

Hae squeezed my thigh out of the blue. I looked over at him with a shocked expression. He grinned in response and mouthed an "Are you okay?" I smiled at him to keep him reassured.

After half an hour of talking and eating everyone moved to the living room. I decided to stay behind and try to talk to Hae's mother.

We were washing the dishes in complete silence. It was really nerve wrecking. After a couple of minutes of silence I finally gained the courage to talk to her.

"Mrs. Lee. I thought about what you said but I really can't let go of Hae. I-I depend too much on him to leave him." She continued to wash the dishes without lifting an eyebrow.

"I know thats what you think but your young. I'm sure you will find someone more suitable for you in the future. Donghae isn't for you." She stated without blinking an eye.

"That is not enough to make me let go of him." She put down the plate she was watching to make eye contact with me. It sent shiver down my spine. Her eyes seemed hallow yet filled with hate and despise. I gulped down the air that had accumulated in my mouth.

"I'm going to say this as nicely as I can possibly say it. You do not need Hae. Vise Versa. Hae has his future ahead of him. He doesn't need you be holding him back from all his potential. He should be free to rise up without any baggage and when he marries it should be someone who is up par with him. Not some basketball player. Think about it. You are depending on your last year to get recruited into some college basketball team right? Than after words you want to go pro. But what are the chances of that occurring? 1 to 10? 1 to 100? 1 to 100,000? If you fail you will have no where else to turn to. Basketball is no way to make a living much less having a secure future. Any second you can have a serious injury that will prevent you from ever going pro. What than? You are just not good enough. I'm sorry if this is brutal to you but it's the plain truth." She looked at me one last before resuming her task.

I stood there completely dumbfounded. When she put it like that I really wasn't good enough for Hae.

I took a step back from where I stood. I didn't have the energy to stay standing still. Any second now I knew I would end up losing my balance.

What she had said seemed all true. It was a hard and painful blow. 

"You can go if you want. I can do this myself. I can even tell Hae that you don't feel good and had to leave." She stated without turning to face me. 

My vision began to blur along. Everything around me seem like a haze. One second I was standing in the middle of the kitchen and in the next I was in the middle of the park. 

I sat there with my now dirtied pants and wrinkled button up shirt. 

Was I taking this too hard? Maybe but the thought of holding down Hae was everything I went against. I would never be able to live with myself if I ever did something so pitiful.

I did need Hae. I needed him so damn much that it hurt. I never thought I would ever feel this way but I couldn't deny it. I needed him ... but I could never hold him back either. Not when I can't even have confidence in my future.

I should have never dated him. I should have refused his touches, his warmth, his kisses. I should have refused him maybe than I wouldn't have become so dependent of him. I was his mistake. With me he would only be brought down.

I sobbed on my palms. 

I'm sorry Hae.

I can't become your regret. I wiped my tears and slowly stood up.

I was going to do what is best for Hae. Not for me. I would rather die than become the reason he would become a failure at life. Out of the billions of people in the world, one will be able to replace my spot. Someone worthy of him. First loves never last after all.

I'll keep his spot empty in my life. He will forever be my first and only love. 

The night felt extra cold and empty. 

"Hyukkie!" I knew he was following me. I couldn't face him yet. I'm afraid of giving into him. I can't let him come close.

"Wait! Where are you going?!" 

"Stop!!" I yelled at him when I felt him get close enough.

His footsteps ceased.

"W-what is it?" His voice was full of concern. I inhaled deeply.

"Just stop." I was glad it was dark. If not he could probably had noticed my ruined clothing.

"Okay I won't move.... What's going on Hyukkie?"

"Don't call me that anymore. I can't stand it." I filled my voice with venom.

"W-why?" Unconsciously tears began to stream down once again.

"H-Donghae... I can't be with you. I don't see us together. You only proved it today. I don't belong with you or your family."

"What the hell are you saying?!" I shivered from the anger that Hae was filled with. I really wanted to turn around and hug the life out of him. I wanted to so badly tell him it was all a joke.

If you love my son that much don't be with him. You'll only bring him down.

I in a breath of fresh air. 

"I want to break up. I wanted to break up with you for some time now but I couldn't. I tried forcing myself to love you. I thought that by giving myself to you everything would change but it didn't. I couldn't feel anything for you. It was all pity."

"Eunhyuk... you better be ing messing around with me right now..." He said calmly. 

"I can't force myself to love you because I don't. Goodbye."

"Eunhyuk! Don't do this!" He took a step forward reaching for my hand.

"Stop! Don't touch me!!!" I screamed at him. I knew that even without looking at him that his face was probably filled with shock and pain. I'm the worst right Hae?

"Hyukkie... Please tell me this is all a lie. You're break me apart..." His voice cracked at the end.

I have to stay strong... I can't bring him down! 

I bit my lip. "Sorry." I had to get away. 

I ran as fast as I could to my house. I knew he didn't follow me but I needed to run. 

Once inside I slide down my now locked front door. My parents weren't home. I didn't know about Sora but I'm sure she didn't hear me come in. I cried without restraining myself. It hurt more than anything. I'm a fool.

The door behind my back began to bang loudly. 

"Hyukkie! Please don't! I know you're there! I-I can't let you go like this! Let's talk please! If it's my fault I'll change I swear! I swear. Just don't leave me!" I could hear him crying and banging on the door. I bit my arm to stop myself from crying out loud. 

I know this hurts Hae but I promise you'll be okay.

The banging ceased. 

"! Hyukkie don't..." was all I heard before the footsteps began to become quieter every second.

"What the hell is going on?!" Sora came out with her earphones on her shoulders and ipod in her hands. 

"Sora..." I looked up at her. She looked shocked seeing me on the floor hugging my knees and my clothes completely ruined.

"Oh Hyukkie!" She quickly dropped her ipod on the floor along with her earphones and ran up to me.

She pulled me into a hug, humming a sweat lullaby. 

"I-... and Hae. He-I." I couldn't put any of my words together. Everything seemed surreal.

"Shhh just sleep for now Hyukkie..." She kissed my head. I cried on her shoulders. Sora sat down in front of me and pulled me in between her legs and arms, rocking me to sleep.

Amber sat upside down on her couch. It was in the middle of summer, meaning it was almost 98 degrees. Her family didn't have an air conditioner which is why all of them except for her went to the nearby library. It was a bit odd to go there but during this time of year they would go to the nearest and coolest location. She didn't bother checking what time it was since Amber had a very good intuition to tell the time of the day. She a bit odd compared to her friends and family, not because she could tell time but basically she had a photographic memory. It had creeped out many of her friends in the past since they never heard of this "phenomena." Of course this may be unique but in her small town this was extraordinary, it was of another world. They would often believe she was making them feel like fools, on purpose, for not being able to understand or memorize various mathematical formula or recall any literary works.

It frustrated her to the point where she often hid this ability. She had managed to go from the outcast of the school to a normal student in the course of a year. It sickened her how they would now include her into their group once she fooled them into believing she had lost that ability.

The only one, other than her family, who knew of her 'deceit' was her bestfriends Victoria and Luna. 

Without another thought Amber rolled off of the couch and made her way to her closet. Summer usually meant going to the beach or park with a sundress or a skirt but to Amber this meant a summer job and shorts. She worked at a simple restaurant that served mixed drinks, with entertainment coming from the karaoke machine or a live performance from a rookie group, during the night and freshly squeezed juices during the day and small appetizers, that were extremely delicious. The attire for the restaurant was casual but presentable. The manager had previously asked his workers to dress fitted for the weather since he didn't want any of them getting a in this heat and having a law suit laid on his desk and their air conditioner had recently been broken by a bunch of hooligans who thought it would be funny to play catch in a restaurant.

Amber sighed deeply while staring blankly at her closet. She didn't buy dresses for one reason, she felt uncomfortable with the way it blew against any breeze, same goes for the skirts. 

Her clothing never screamed I'm a girl but it wasn't as if she did it on purpose. For her during winter that meant wearing pants! Skirts or dresses with tights were never a good idea to keep warm. Amber just simply felt that clothing was meant to use for comfort.  

Her brown pixie haircut didn't seem to fix the problem. The reason she cut her long looks at the age of 13 wasn't for a new fashion trend or anything of that sort but simply put: it was easier to manage.

Amber decided to go with a brown combat short that reached just above her knees and a white tank top under a black loose t-shirt. She grabbed her white converse and black cap to top of her outfit. It wasn't much but this is how as far as she would go to dress up. 

To Amber fashion was of no intrest to her nor was it a big deal for her if she ever had to wear a dress. It was simply clothing. 

The walk to her job was always a bore. She took her Ipod to listen to while walking but even that seemed to bore her even more. The restaurant was only a few blocks away from her home. It  resided at the edge of town over looking the empty grassland that stretched out for miles. The building was one story colored in a dark ebony shade. During the nights the building would light up with white christmas lights that surrounded the patio and wrapped around the trees. It was actually quite beautiful except the large amount of teenagers would always ruin the scene by making out in the front. Amber, if she worked the night shifts, would have to scream at them to leave the site. 

As soon as she arrived at the restaurant she was greeted by Victora who worked along her side and Minho. Minho was a tall and of course handsome guy who didn't seem very social. Despite his loner wolf life he seemed to get along very well with Amber. To the point of developing a crush on her. Minho, however, being the dense guys that ever existed confused that feeling with pure brotherly love, since he never had a sister. 

"Oh good youre here! Come on hurry and take Jonghyun's tables. He's not here yet and seems to be running late." Amber's manager, a late 40 year old man with poor eye sight and long wavy hair that reached his chin grabbed her and forced a notebook, along with a white apron. 

"What? Why do I have to do it? Why can't Victoria or Minho do it?" 

"You can keep the tips." With that Amber quickly put on the apron and walked to the tables. The manager smirked before returning to the kitchen to check up on the orders.

Amber  made her way to one of the most expensive tables. She knew Jonghyun would arrive any second so she had to take advantage of this. The table was always reserved for those with the biggest wallets and checkbooks, which usually meant bigger tips. 

"Hello. I'm Amber your server for the day. Have you thought about what you will be having today?" Amber told the two man, who wore suits, that sat on the seats. This baffled Amber a bit, since clearly it was above 90 degrees.

"Well hello there. You guys really serve healthy foods." One of the males with bleached hair smiled.

"We try our best to serve the best tasting meals while keeping it healthy." Amber recited what she had memorized before becoming an official staff member.

"Haha! Thats sounds complicated. Well, I'll have the blueberry and cranberry smoothie with the diced fruits on the side." 

"Okay than." Amber quickly short hand wrote it on  the note pad. "And for you sir?"

The other male refused to look at Amber directly. "I'll have the same but instead of the fruits on the side I want the beach salad.

"I'll return in a second with your orders!" Amber chimed happily. Amber was about to excuse herself when a hand caught her wrist.

 She quickly looked towards the owner of the hand and noticed it belonged to the dark curly haired man, who had previously refused to make eye contact with her. Amber was completely startled along with the bleached haired siting across from the curly haired man.

"Is there something else you'd like to order?" She asked a bit nervous. No one had ever laid a hand on her during her working hours so she was a bit confused as to how she should react. She didn't think it was enough to send the man flying or cause a scene since he didn't look like he was grabbing her for a shameful reason. 

He looked up at Amber with a smirk on his face.

Amber felt herself shiver at his expression. It was as if he was planning something truly evil.

"How would you like to become a model?" Amber stared at him wide eyed trying to comprehend what he had just asked.

"W-what?" 

"I said would you like to become a model?" He grinned.

"What?!" This time Amber yelled causing everyone in the restaurant to look at her with confusing yet worrying stares, especially from Minho, who was ready to punch the guy after seeing him holding Amber's wrist.

"Model?!" 

"Yes. Become a worldwide known top model." With that Amber drop her notebook. Victoria and the manager stared with Amber with their jaws hanging low and  Minho looked completely perplexed.
