Chapter three

The Artistic Punk

 

“ Where the is he?” Eunhyuk cursed softly, checking his watch once more.
 
 It was about two hours after his normal time coming, and Donghae still has yet to appear in the Bakery. He hadn’t brought a book, or any assignments he could be working on: He was expecting to be greeted by Donghae’s normal smile, and pulled into an interesting conversation. He was expecting no time lapse between his entrance and the time Donghae would issue his arrival. If anything, he’d hope he’d have an impatient Donghae at the entrance. Sadly, none of this was the case.
 
 “ Excuse me, is there anything else you’d like to order?” Leeteuk asked, holding his notepad to his chest lightly.
 
 Leeteuk had been watching the boy for the past two hours. He was always aware of Eunhyuk’s appearance in the store, and had gain a small interest in him. It wasn’t enough interest for Leeteuk to actually care why he was there, but enough to be slightly troubled by it. 
 
 “ A Blue berry muffin.” Eunhyuk grumbled. Leeteuk nodded and headed off to the back of the bakery. It wasn’t strange for customers to stay in the building for long periods of times, but that usually happens when there are more than one of them. When there is someone to talk too, or when there is something else to do during the time. Neither of those were there, and that may have not helped his paranoia. 
 
 Once Leeteuk came back for the muffin, Eunhyuk sat up straight and looked the waiter in the eye. 
 
 “ Is there something else you need?” Leeteuk asked, after eyeing the customer.
 
 “ The other worker, Donghae-”
 
 “ He asked to take the day off, he said he had another job to do.” Leeteuk quickly replied. Eunhyuk nodded and placed a random amount of bills, that obviously paid for his stay and then some. 
 
 “ Wait, your change.” Leeteuk mumbled, but Eunhyuk had already gotten up and left the bakery, the blue-berry muffin in hand.
 
 Eunhyuk grumbled incoherent words as he slipped on his black, jacket. It didn’t help that much with the chilly air, but it was something, and something was better than nothing. Eunhyuk cupped his hands around the muffin for warmth as he walked. It had gotten pretty dark, but only a few street lamps were lit, and only a few cars were passing by.  Eunhyuk sighed and jogged across the street before turning towards his beloved tunnel. As he stepped foot into the tunnel, was again his phone rang.
 
 “ Hello?” Eunhyuk asked.
 
 “ Hey, It’s Kyu. What’s up?”
 
 “ Nothing much, heading home.”
 
 “ Perfect. Can you stop at the game store and get me a new game.”
 
 “ And why can’t you do this?”
 
 “ Because I can’t find the key to your house, and I don’t want to leave it un-attended?”
 
 “ What ever, what game.”
 
 “ Any. Just something I haven’t played before.”
 
 “ Of course. ‘Cause I know which one that is obviously.”
 
 “ What? Are you saying you don’t memorize the games I win and put them on a website for the world to see?”
 
 “ Where do you come up with this stuff?”
 
 “ In your room, during the loading screen of my games, when I’m alone.” 
 
 “ Of course.”
 
 Eunhyuk scrunched his face together when there was a loud bang, and Kyuhyun’s words became muffled. 
 
 “ Hyung, you okay?”
 
 “ Yeah, I’ll call you back.”
 
 “ Is there a creeper?”
 
 “ I don’t know, I’ll call you back.”
 
 “ Don’t forget the game.”
 
 Eunhyuk silently chuckled and hung up, sliding the phone in his side pocket. As he slid his feet, he unconsciously crouched. One hand was in front, ready to attack, when one arm lagged behind for protection. It was a common stance for any body preparing to meet up with the perhaps gangster dude, he’s been longing to punch in the face for so long.
 
 “ Sorry, I’m going home tonight.” Eunhyuk heard someone say. The voice was familiar to Eunhyuk.
 
 “ Please. We’d feel a lot better if-”
 
 “ I’ll be fine. Nothing bad is going to happen god.”
 
 That’s when the voice clicked. Eunhyuk sprinted forward to spot Donghae leaning against a building, with a much taller guy towering over him. The taller man grabbed Donghae by the shoulders and pulled him close to his face. Eunhyuk’s eyes widened.
 
 “ Siwon will kill me if I don’t bring you back.”
 
 “ Well Siwon can deal with it.” Donghae grumbled, pushing away a bit. “ What’s the point of moving away, and living alone. If I don’t actually get to live alone. And for Pete’s-sake, if I keep lounging around at your place, what am I going to do with my apartment. I have been paying for it you know.”
 
 “Stop paying for it and move in with us.”
 
 “ No.” Donghae groaned. The taller guy grabbed Donghae’s arm and pulled him a bit, causing the smaller to stumble. Eunhyuk’s lips thinned as the taller opened his mouth to continue the debate.
 
 “ Donghae?” Eunhyuk asked, his face turning emotionless.
 
 “ E-Eunhyuk. Hi. You know about the bakery thing, I was going to go but I got side-tracked. And well, you know, I had wanted to clean up and-”
 
 “ Leeteuk told me you had asked to take the day-off don’t try to lie. But what’s going on here?”
 
 “ Eh-heh. Well, um, Eunhyuk. This is Minho. Minho, this is Eunhyuk.”
 
 Donghae awkwardly gestured to the one stated, as he was pulled into a back hug from Minho. “ Minho, is um, my friend’s younger brother. The president of the Soccer club, Siwon, ever heard of him?”
 
 Eunhyuk nodded, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Why the urge was there was confusing him. “ Yeah and?”
 
 “ Well, I occasionally stay at their place, but it felt a little to crowded, and I  had my own place, so I was like I’m a go back home. But Siwon he has a cr- a problem with me leaving, and Minho here is trying to get me to go back. But I can’t because Siwon and my home and confusing stuff. I’ll see you at school tomorrow.”  Donghae sputtered out, giggling out of awkwardness here and there. Eunhyuk nodded.
 
 “ Let Donghae go to his house, he’ll visit you. Don’t be immature.”
 
 “ Immature?” Minho asked, narrowing his eyes.
 
 “ Yes Immature. Anyway, Donghae, I’ll return the jeans to you tomorrow, their at the cleaners, and about the painting.”
 
 “ Jeans, painting?-” Minho started.
 
 “ Oh yeah. Thanks. And don’t worry about the painting. It’s alright.”
 
 “ You sure?” Eunhyuk asked.
 
 “ Yeah, of course. The painting wasn’t a big deal. Just a present for the teacher.”
 
 “ Oh okay, cool, still sorry about that. “ Eunhyuk tapped Donghae’s shoulder, trying to be as friendly as possible, but once he was passed the two, he quickly wiped his hands roughly against his jeans. The purpose of him stepping into the debate was completely pointless, why he wasn’t angry Donghae hadn’t kept to coming to the bakery, was frustrating him and why Minho was getting on his nerve was completely idiotic. Eunhyuk had no clue what was going on with him.
 
 “ Wait, Donghae. That painting, was it the one-”
 
 “ Yeah, I’ll just ask for an extension.”
 
 “ But it’s a final, you can’t do that.”
 
 “ I’ll take care of it don’t worry.”
 
 “ Now what about those jeans.”
 
 “ You. Can’t. Tell. Siwon. Anything. Got. It. Froggy?”
 
 “ If you tell me what happened, fishy.”
 
 Eunhyuk’s ears perked up as he strained to hear the small conversation between Minho and Donghae. Yeah, he walked away, but he still wanted to know what’s going on. He didn’t understand if the painting was a bigger issue than he thought or what. Once they were out of hearing, Eunhyuk sighed and stuffed his hands in his pockets. 
 
 Eunhyuk walked slowly to his house, skipping around the occasional puddle, and spider web that honestly freaked Eunhyuk out to no end. Eunhyuk would be walking about a mile away from the last spider web, and still be eerie about it. Visions of a spider jumping onto his back kept popping up, but Eunhyuk was Eunhyuk so he acted as if nothing was bothering him.
 
 “ Damn spiders.” Eunhyuk muttered to himself once he was in the safety of his home.
 
 Eunhyuk’s house is definitely a Eunhyuk house. The walls are pristine-white, and the couches were a black, and the carpet was a silver color. Everything was perfectly placed, pictures, vases, books.  He was positive if he became blind, he wouldn’t have any problem with finding his way around the house. Now, the building did have color. The color was usually the flowers, books, and paintings on the wall. Mostly the paintings though.  
 
 Eunhyuk kicked off his shoes and gently placed them in the shoe rack beside the door. After, he made his way to his bedroom, which was just a little more colorful then the rest of the house, seeing how the walls were a nice dark blue. Eunhyuk opened the door, hung his bag on the clothes rack, and stepped in. He spotted Kyuhyun’s face perk up from the paused screen. 
 
 “ HYUNG! Where’s my game?”
 
 “ Forgot it.” Eunhyuk replied.
 
 “ How the hell did you forget it! It’s not like you go places at night to forget! It was a one way track!” Kyuhyun whined, falling, and flailing on the ground dramatically.
 
 “ Why do you only act like this around me? You could have so many friends at school if you were this dramatic.”
 
 “Because everyone else is an idiot.” Kyuhyun mumbled. “ They don’t get stuff, so they don’t deserve seeing me like this.”
 
 “ What ever.” Eunhyuk groaned. Kyuhyun lifted his head and rolled onto his back.
 
 “ So what did keep you. You were about ten minutes longer than normal.”
 
 “ I met up with a friend.”
 
 Kyuhyun grinned. “ A friiieeend?”
 
 “ Yeah, he was suppose to meet me at Blue Bakery, but he didn’t. Then I met him on the way with some other person.”
 
 “ to be you.”
 
 “ Shut it Geek.”
 
 “ I don’t want to shut it monkey.”
 
 “ I can kick you out at any moment you know.”
 
 Kyuhyun crawled up in front of Eunhyuk and hugged his legs. “ But you wouldn’t do that because you love me so freaking much!”
 
 Eunhyuk gently kicked Kyuhyun off of him before patting down his pants.
 
 “ Those aren’t your pants.” Kyuhyun noted.
 
 “ How do you know?”
 
 “ You don’t buy these kind of jeans, I’ve seen your wardrobe. I have a good memory.”
 
 “ They’re that ‘friends’ clothes. I got paint all over my jeans because of him.”
 
 “ Is he smaller than you.”
 
 “ Not by much, why?”
 
 “ Is he skinnier?”
 
 “ I guess, and again I ask why?”
 
 “ Their a little too tight on you, I can just start to make out your-” 
 
 Eunhyuk threw a pillow at Kyuhyun before he could even finish that sentence.
 
 “ How the am I friends with you.”
 
 Kyuhyun just shrugged and rolled back wards until he was in his ‘gaming-chair’ and un-paused the video game. Eunhyuk sighed and took his bag back from the rack and unpacked the objects, neatly placing them on his beautifully carved, oak, desk in the corner of his room. Once he finished Eunhyuk fell backwards onto his bed,  trying to organize his thoughts.
 
 Much To Eunhyuk’s detest, that night, no thoughts got organized.

This chapter was terrible, I wrote from eleven PM- to two AM, and it's just really bad v.v

 But I'm back ( been back since friday) but I've been hella busy v.v . Proof: I've been back in my town since friday, meaning about four days ( 96 hours). The total amount of hours spent in my house 32 hours. and twenty four of those hours are sleeping. Seriously.... I'm exausted. 

 Anyway. I'm BACK! And next chapter I promise will be better, more exciting, and faster paced. This chapter was mainly used for you too get an insight on Donghae's and Eunhyuks life/friends. 

 What do you all think about Kyuhyun!? Isn't he precious?

 Anyone have any ideas what Donghae's life is like yet? I've been sending alot of hints through the past three chapters >:)

Chapter 4: It was adorable of Hae when he stuck his tongue out to that police officer for calling his tea cup painting a kid painting.lol,so cute <3 I thought he was going to get caught when he slipped off the branch!Nooo!So much tension.Hopefully he didn’t though.Phew!

Minho sure is persistent.I mean,2 hours to convince him to go?They (Wonnie and Minho) sure are protective of Hae.

Aww,Hae doesn’t want to get rid of the ruined painting may be because it reminds him of Hyuk now?Or may be it created a chance for him to finally talk to his long time crush so a memento?

Again Hae and Minho interaction.I mean…wow!Minho cares a hell lot for Hae don’t you think?A little bit out-of-line caring though…Too much!I wonder the whole extent of their relationship and what they have been through so far.

Eunhyuk aww!He is happy and tries to look better because he will see Hae today.So cute!Even his teacher noticed!

Ah!I think you wanted to write “Why did he ask for a day off?” not why didn’t he.

“Killing would mean effort, so no”ROFL!I love you Hae!

Eunhae interaction was adorable.Especially this part below is my favorite:
“ You’re going to be late Eunhyuk.”
“ I’m never late.”
And with that the bell rang. Eunhyuk’s face flushed a bit as Donghae giggled.”Hehe!

“ Everyone messes up a bit in their lives Eunhyuk. Get used to it.”
^^Isn’t Hae right though?That’s the proof that him being in Hyuk’s life will effect Hyuk well.

“His professor only held a knowing-smirk on his face-”OMG!I love his professor! :D Hehe =D
Also,i REALLY love how you mention Hyuk's internal thoughts about Hae,his feelings when he is near Hae like how he gets really excited to be with Hae or how he couldn't get angry at Hae for not showing up at cafe and so on.
Anyway,need to go now to driving lessons but i just wanna say shortly that this story has so much potential and i hope you update and someday finish it;even if the updates are slow we still love this story =) So Kri fighting!

Chapter 3: “If anything, he’d hope he’d have an impatient Donghae at the entrance.”
^
Fangirl mode first:Aww Hyuk,so cute!
Reality mode: Ooooh,did Hae ditch Hyuk for the things he said about his art?At the end of the previous chapter if you asked me about this i would have said yep,he deserved it but now that i’m reading about him waiting and stuff i feel sorry for him.LOL,bias feels!

Minho and Siwon appear in the story.Ho-ho!Can’t wait for their characters to be totally introduced.And Minho sure is possessive of Hae isn’t he?I mean, what’s with the sudden backhug? o.O

“Eunhyuk tapped Donghae’s shoulder, trying to be as friendly as possible, but once he was passed the two, he quickly wiped his hands roughly against his jeans.”Lee Eunhyuk!WTH is wrong with you?OMG!This is good for the future character interaction development but wth?How did he live his life like this?Why didn’t his parents take him to a doctor?It is not a bad thing to go to doctor for that.It would have made his life much easier too…poor baby!

I actually like Hae and Minho interaction.They seem awfully close.

So Hyuk is afraid of spiders?I don’t know if i want to laugh or feel sad for him.

“Kyuhyun whined, falling, and flailing on the ground dramatically.”SAHNKJSKSDDSCFKNJS SO ADORABLE!

Kyu and Hyuk interaction was million times better than Hae and Minho though.Love <3

So,um,Hyuk told Hae that his jeans were at the cleaners and he will return them tomorrow.But he comes home and Kyu says the pants Hyuk is wearing at that moment (mind you,they are the same ones he was wearing when he saw Hae) are not his.And Hyuk says they are Hae’s (that friend’s).lol,did he lie to Hae?Why?
escapist #3
Chapter 2: So Hyuk memorizes everything?Without understanding?Ouch,my head hurts even from the idea of it.I really can not, for the life of me, memorize much.I need to understand it otherwise it is a no-no.He is a lucky bastard.
OMG!Eunhyuk is a fanboy (i know i should touch upon his over-the-top cleaning/organizing habits but whatever)He types an e-mail to Hae,anonymously at that!lol,adorable!
Hyuk is sure sassy and grumpy.Hae was so patient towards him about paints on pants and graffiti and all the other stuff.
Aww!Poor Hae! He got called gangster and his graffiti was called stupid and immature by his long-going crush.Hyuk seems like totally out of his reach since he really hates Hae(well,not really Hae but his other identity) Really feel sorry for him T.T Hae fighting!

Chapter 1: I love the description of Blue Bakery.Just my cup of tea.Such a nice place to go or work.Lucky Hae.
Eunhae is so sweet.They are secretly aware of each other since the beginning ha?Lovely!
Aww,the workers in the cafe who are always friendly and smiling and the customers who leave tips and hurry out of the cafe for Hae not returning the money back to them are all warm and lovely people.
“It wasn’t rare for Eunhyuk to just find a hotel and sleep in it for the night instead of going home”Eh??Why?Don’t tell me it is because he gets lazy and sleepy and can’t bother going home and just crashes somewhere?LOL if that’s the case!He doesn’t have money problem so why not i guess?
LMAO!Fish dude?Kyu,i thought you were better than that.I love Hyuk’s artistic punk much more.A heart with a fish face is so like Hae OMG!Precious!
Ooooh!Eunhyuk is such a party pooper for being so dedicated to rules.I mean,his reason to hate Hae’s graffiti is because it is painted on public property?WTH?So stuck up he seems;so far.I love graffiti and the idea of using the world as an art gallery.As long as you don’t harm anyone and don’t provoke people by your paintings what/where is the harm?And the thing Hae drew is so endearing too.I mean coffee cup with a blueberry muffin <3 Yes Hyuk,find him if you can.I dare you!I really wonder what his reaction is gonna be when he finds out.
