Chapter 26
One Heart, Two choices
To Siwon’s surprise does his mobile start to ring and it is Eunhyuk. Donghae isn’t home at the moment and he picks it up.
Siwon:Hello?
Eunhyuk:Hi
Siwon:Why are you calling me? Doesn’t Donghae answer his?
Eunhyuk:I don’t know, right now I am calling you.
Siwon (confused):Ok?
Eunhyuk:But it is about Donghae.
Siwon (still confused):Ok?
(Eunhyuk tells Siwon about his conversation with Hankyung)
Eunhyuk:And after that I met Donghae’s cousin Sungmin and found out that Donghae’s mom is dead. I am tired of not know anything about him, does he really not trust me?
(Siwon started to laugh a bit)
Siwon:First of all I can tell you that you can’t make Donghae’s life worse. That must be something Hankyung made up. And second, it is not that Donghae don’t trust you. He just doesn’t want to remember it, so he doesn’t talk about it.
Eunhyuk:Okay, so I don’t need to know about the time when he was with Hankyung (thinking that he didn’t say anything about his ex Sungmin)
Siwon:But you want to know?
Eunhyuk (thinking before answer):Yes.
Siwon (sighing):I can tell you what I know, but you can’t tell anyone.
Eunhyuk: Ok
Siwon:
I and Donghae have been friends since we were 6 years old.
I didn’t think about it then, but we were never at Donghae’s house, we were only at my house or outside. But when we were 10 years old Donghae suddenly at night rang the doorbell. I didn’t go out of my room, but when I heard mom and dad shocked I went out and found them in the living room. Donghae sat at the couch. He bled from nose and cuts, he had bruises everywhere and the tears rained from his eyes. Mom had run to the bathroom to find the first aid box, and dad tried to calm Donghae who was in shock down.
It was that night I found out that his dad treated him bad. Donghae said that it had been like this all his life, but that his brother used to take care of him, but this time Heechul had been sleeping when Donghae came home too late, and he and his father started to fight, and he ran away.
(Siwon took a little break)
Eunhyuk: Oh…Sorry to hear that…And since then he have been living with you and your family?
Siwon:yes. Donghae didn’t dare to go home, but he begged for us not to tell anyone about his dad. It took a long time, but in the end we agreed that they wouldn’t tell anyone. Only his brother knew where Donghae had been running off to, and his father have only seen Donghae once before the day at the camp.
Eunhyuk: Oh…So his father is looking after Donghae?
Siwon:Well, it looks like that…I don’t know.
Eunhyuk: But I don’t get it. It seems like Donghae and Heechul don’t like each other so much anymore? But why? If they were so close in the past.
Siwon:I don’t know what happened between those brothers.
Eunhyuk:…But…When did Hankyung come in the picture?
Siwon: That’s a different story, and I don’t know it all myself.
Eunhyuk:But can you please tell me what you know? I know that this is his private life and he have rights to keep it private, but…
Siwon:Sure sure…I can tell you everything that I know, but not because you need to know. Just because you want to know, and he has actually never said to me: don’t tell anyone about Hankyung. He only said that about his father.
(It became a bit silent)
Eunhyuk: Are you there?
Siwon: we have to talk later. Donghae is home. I call you back.
(Siwon said fast and hung up as Eunhyuk could hear Donghae's voice asking what Siwon was doing.)
**Eunhyuk’s P.O.V**
I can’t believe what I just heard. So that’s why Donghae lives with Siwon? And he got abused as a child? Now that I think over it, there were some scars at Donghae’s arms. Why didn’t think over it? Why didn’t I ask him?? I feel so stupid.
