Problems Arise & War Declared

Mid-Seasons

Kyuhyun~

I pressed my card on the scanner and once it turned green the fare gates opened. I made my way to the elevator and pressed the right number. I bowed at the secretaries and made my way to my father's office without being announced. 

"He doesn't know?" Sungyeol aka my father asked surprised. 

"No." Kangin answered. I guess I have to make myself known. 

"I thought-" I slammed the door shut behind me leaning against it. 

"Oh please, I didn't mean to interrupt. You may go on." I rolled my eyes when they kept quiet. 

I knew they were talking about me. I stepped closer and my eyes caught a file on my father's desk. 

Donghae's file. 

"What's this?" I asked picking it up. I began reading it. My eyes widened and I slammed the file on the desk as I turned to my father who was already glaring at me. The reason I don't know. 

"It can't be." I whispered. 

"Cho Kyuhyun I thought you were smarter." Sungyeol tsk-ed disapprovingly. 

"No ing way this is true." I shook my head. Maybe this is another one of his schemes though what would he win with this? 

Then it all clicked. 

His words the other day. 

Why Donghae transferred why he befriended me why he tried so hard. Why he hated me and why he went after Hyukjae. 

I was so enraged with him that I couldn't register his words clearly. 

Donghwa! Why didn't I see the resemblance before?? Sure I was younger but I wasn't blind dammit. 

I know our side family is the Lee's but there's a lot of Lee's!

All for this company? Something I don't care at all for. He knows it yet he still hates me. 

"Oh but it is." I looked up to my father, his words snapping me out of my flashbacks. 

I turned around and left his office to burst into my brother's office who had left us alone. 

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked angrily. 

"About? And will you please ing knock?" I ignored his complaints. 

"Donghae is a branch member. He's our cousin!" I yelled. 

"So you finally found out. Took you years. I'm surprised. I thought you'd do background checks on him like you always do on anyone who wants to get close to you." He faked a smile. Creepy as . 

"Dammit hyung!" I grumbled in frustration pacing around his office. 

"Speaking about background checks, I decided to do some on a certain someone." I stopped on my tracks and turned to look at him, inwardly worrying. 

"Who?" I asked afraid of the answer. 

"Lee Hyukjae." 

I panicked but I didn't show it. I slammed my hand on his desk. "He's my boyfriend! And you better stay away from him Kangin! You and father or-" 

He clasped his hands together over his desk and looked into my eyes. "You see that's the problem. Father already knows." 

I felt my heart drop as my glare faltered. "Wh-what?" It couldn't be. 

I ran to my father's office afraid of what was to come. 

But I can't be afraid. No. I have to be brave and go against my homophobic father no matter what because I want to be with Hyukjae. 

"You're back." He said as if he expected me to. 

I walked to his desk not bothering to sit. I can't even if I tried. 

But maybe Kangin was only trying to rile me up by saying father knows. Kangin wouldn't have told him right? He's still the same caring hyung I once adored somewhere under the layer he portrays himself to be now. 

Or so I hoped. 

"You reject my internship, you fail to attend your additional tutoring classes and scheduled meetings," He went on and on as he took out another file. 

"Tell me," He smirked making me gulp. That smirk is never good. I should know because I inherited it. 

"Does this have anything to do with him?" I grabbed the file when he motioned me to. I opened it and felt shivers as his words filled in my ears again. "Lee Hyukjae. Nineteen years old. Majoring in the performing arts department. Only son with his mother as his only support and vice versa. She's a pastry chef." I slammed the papers on his desk. I was shaking. Not out of fear but anger. 

"This is why you've been neglecting everything. For him?!" He raised his voice as he stood up. "Break up with him!" 

"Never!" I yelled defiantly. "You don't know how long it took me to have him with me!" 

I felt a hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down. "Kyuhyun as your brother and not your enemy I advise you to break up with him." I sensed his voice soften for a bit and the rest came out as almost a whisper. Was he seriously giving me advice as the brother he once was? 

Even after all he's done?

"No Kangin. I can't leave him. I won't do it." I firmly stated as I glared at my father. 

"Listen to your brother, Kyuhyun." I stiffened and shivered lightly at the dark tone he was using. It was menacingly. 

"Cho Sungyeol," I started as he shifted his gaze from me to Kangin. 

"Your brother should know. Follow his advice. I can't have one of my sons tainting our reputation." He glared at both of us now. 

"You know I wouldn't be your son if it were up to me." I growled. 

"Kyuhyun stop it with your rebellion I've had enough! So many years after your mother left us. Get over it already and go back to being the obedient son you once where." He demanded. I know well what he's capable of. 

"Mother didn't leave us and you know it!" I yelled. This is a touchy subject after all. 

"Kyuhyun stop it." I lolled my head back and shut my eyes tightly not wanting to cry in front of this poor excuse of a father. 

"Kangin you know the truth!" I said. "Our mother never left us." 

"She wasn't my mother." I grit my teeth and clenched my fist fighting back the urge to punch his face. 

"Shut up both of you! Kyuhyun break up with that boy. I haven't been mean to you at all but my patience is running thin and the last I want is another scandal. That boy will not be with you." I met his gaze again and saw that determined look in them. Mine mirroring his. 

"I love him!" I shouted. 

"You don't know what love is!"  He yelled back. 

"I will not do as you want me to. We had an agreement! You stay out of my private life and I'll inherit part of this. Isn't destroying my dream enough for you? What else do you want from me?!" I yelled exasperatedly. 

I took a deep breath and went on. "Why does it even matter who I love? What's it to you?! Scandals?! It's all about money isn't it? Then here!" I took out my wallet and threw all my credit cards at him. "Take them all!! I want nothing to do with the barriers to my happiness!" 

My father was speechless and so was Kangin. I brushed his hand away roughly and walked to the door. "You took away my dream and I didn't fight for it. Now you want to take away the only person I love and makes me happy. I will fight for him, Cho Sungyeol." I turned to the door and pushed the double doors opened. 

"Fine! From now on it's you against me Cho Kyuhyun!" 

I got into my car and punched the steering wheel a few times in frustration. 

I heaved a sighed and dialed a number I know by memory. 

"Hello?" My baby's voice sounded. "Kyu?" My breath hitched as I tried to control my anger. "Kyu are you okay?" 

I bit my lip as I shook my head of course I know he can't see my gesture but I didn't trust my voice right now. 

"Cho Kyuhyun?" I winced at my own name. I despise it so much. 

"B-baby." My voice trembled. 

"Kyu! What happened? Where are you? Is something wrong?" He was worried. I don't want him to worry over me though. 

"I'm... I'm fine. I n-need you. I love you Hyukjae." And I hung up on him for the first time. I felt the tears running down my face and the sobs started. 

I'm weak. I hate it. But I have to be strong for you Hyukkie. I'm willing to give up anything for you. But are you willing to fight along with me? 

----- 

Hyukjae~ 

I paced around the cafe biting my thumbnail and replaying my earlier conversation with Kyuhyun. 

He sounded so.. Depressed, lost, was he perhaps crying? 

But then again why would he? 

"Calm down maybe he's just sick." Yesung tried to assure me. 

I shook my head. "It didn't sound like that hyung!" 

I kept on brushing off their soothing comments because something tells me it's all wrong. Kyuhyun needs me. 

I even kept getting the orders mixed up and Junsu had to take my place at the register. I kept calling Kyuhyun as I sat on a table. I texted him but nothing. 

Please be alright Kyuhyun. 

I bit my lip anxiously as I kept calling him only to be directed straight to voicemails. I lost count of how many I had left. 

I stood up when I caught a familiar mob of brown making their way to my table. 

"Donghae." I whispered as he sat in front of me. 

"Hyukjae." He looked straight at me. 

"What do you want?!" I asked standing up. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me down harshly. 

"Don't go." He whispered. I bit my lip noting his touches weren't magical anymore. They didn't give me the tingly feeling anymore. 

"Don't touch me." I hissed. 

"I'll touch you all I want!" He half shouted half whispered. "You're still mine! I can tell!" His eyes widened and then softened as he looked down at our hands and my eyes widened when he suddenly kissed my wrist. 

"I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?" I yanked my hand back astonished at his behavior. Has he gone bipolar or was he always like this? 

His kiss was soft and I'd normally swoon and blush over it but I found myself staring blankly at him. 

"I'm not yours anymore Donghae." I shook my head. I met his gaze and his eyes were pleading. 

"I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to cheat it's just the temptation won over me. Siwon meant nothing. Hyukjae I want you back." My heart didn't leap. I didn't feel the urge to get back in those arms that wrapped themselves around me so comfortingly before. 

"Just I'm sorry? You think that's all it takes? You hurt me Donghae! You can't just come here and expect me to forgive you and give you a second chance." I said glaring at him. How inconsiderate can he be? He hurt me emotionally and almost physically as well. 

"I didn't expect you to be like this! I'm saying sorry Hyukjae! Since when did you become strong? Where's the weakling Hyukjae I know? Just take me back Hyukkie! You want me on my knees because I won't do that!" He said it all in one breath. I stared at him in shock. He closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them he was back to his pleading form. 

"Hyukkie, I miss you. I want you back. I'll do anything to win you back my Hyukkie. I love you and I know you still love me too." 

He grabbed my hands enveloping them in his. I slowly pulled mine away as I stared at him trying to figure him out. "Who are you?" I asked. 

"I'm your fish, Hyukjae. And you're still my beautiful monkey." I bit my lip. This is the Donghae I fell in love with. But it was all fake. Is this one fake too? 

"What about the part where I was gonna come back begging for you?" I asked. 

"Loosing you was my biggest mistake. I'll repent it. I'll win you back Hyukjae." He said and I saw only honesty in his eyes. 

"Donghae," I whispered. I wanted to cry. Mainly because he's confusing me. I'm lost. I don't know what to do. Weeks ago I would've thrown myself at his arms willingly. But now I have Kyuhyun and he's been nothing but sweet to me. He's shown me more love, respect and affection than Donghae ever had. 

But Donghae is my first love. I experienced everything with him first. A part of me still wants him but the other part is screaming to get back into Kyuhyun's comforting and loving embrace. 

Before anything else could happen, Sungmin came over and pushed Donghae away. "What are you doing here? What do you want? Did he hurt you?" He asked me and I shook my head. 

He came over to me and hugged me. I feel safe again even in Minnie's embrace. But he's not Kyuhyun. 

I like Kyuhyun very much. But is it love already? 

I buried my face in Minnie's chest. "Make him go." I pleaded. 

"You heard him." Sungmin said. I didn't want to look back but when I did he wasn't there anymore. 

"Kyuhyun has been calling you." I nodded letting go. I picked up my phone and sure enough, it had a ton of missing calls and texts. 

"Hyukjae?" I heard his voice and that's all I needed to feel comforted again. 

"Kyu?" I asked. 

"Baby! I'm so sorry for not answering you. I was just... busy." He said but I could tell he was unsure of what to say. 

"Kyuhyun," I called his name out. 

"Yes baby?" He asked and I heard some shuffling on his side. 

"Where are you?" I asked narrowing my eyes. 

"At the dorm." His voice was slightly off. 

"Kyuhyun? Have you been crying?" I asked afraid he'd snap just like Donghae would. 

Donghae. I can't be thinking of him right now. 

"No baby." He chuckled. "I was just getting a bit sick that's all." I sighed in relief. "Sorry for worrying you. I love you and I'll call you back later okay? I need to get to my next class." 

"Okay. Uh Kyuhyun?" I bit my lip hesitating to utter the words. 

"Yeah?" He asked. 

"Nothing." I said. It's not the time. It doesn't feel right yet. And I'm now confused. 

"You sure?" He asked. 

"Yeah I was just going to tell you to drink some medicine. Go to class now or you'll be late and I'll blame myself." I pouted unconsciously. 

He laughed a bit. "Okay baby. I love you so much don't forget that okay?" 

"Okay." I nodded before hanging up. 

Cho Kyuhyun you're the epitome of perfect and I'd be a fool if I ever let you go.

Heechul~

I've been texting my Hannie for a while now since he's in detention. He still has two more hours to go stuck there. 

As I was laughing at his misery I heard my door open. I thought it was my roommate Kibum but when I turned I saw the bunny. 

I turned my body and laid on my stomach to look at him when he sat on Kibum's bed. "What's up?" I asked. I've noticed he's been acting weird ever since the trip. 

"How's Changmin?" I smirked. More to prod the problem out because I'm sure it has to do with him. 

"Chul. I have to confess something to someone because I feel suffocated keeping it to myself. I can't anymore." I got up and locked my phone. Hannie can wait. 

I sat next to him and patted his knee. "What's wrong? You know you can tell me anything. Does this have to do with Changmin?" 

He nodded and bit his lip. Oh god. I grabbed the tissues on my nightstand and set them on his lap. 

"Spill." I said expectantly. 

"After we left the restaurant we both decided to go to a nearby bar. I kind of dragged him there. We got drunk and it happened. We had ." He inhaled deeply before going on. "I messed up Chullie." 

"Oh god don't tell me you were that bad?" I asked trying to lighten the mood. He glared at me before continuing. 

"I moaned out someone else's name." Wait- Sungmin has been in many relationships before but none was worth remembering and there's only-

"Lee Sungmin," My eyes widened "Could it be you're in love with-"

"Yes Chullie. I'm in love with my best friend."

Chapter 16: I'll patiently wait for the next update! I'm really hoping that Hyuk will now realise that it's really Kyuhyun whom he loves and not Donghae. Kyuhyun sacrificed a lot for him. He even fought with his father. As for Donghae, I wish he would come back instead with Siwon as Siwon is the only one who can take care of him and handle him well. And Sungmin, I am really rooting for Changmin to be with him.

Please Author-nim make it KyuHyuk ~~

Chapter 16: Ok first time commenting and I must say that I really need to comment. Do u even read the comment's? Cause I never see a reply. O well here it goes.
Hyukjae is all around a sweet, caring, and honest guy. I really like him a lot in this story. Well I will if he stays away from Domghae. Sad huh, HyukHae/HaeHyuk is my ultimate OTP but what Hae did is unforgivable. I really don't care about his problems because he could've went about them in a better way. And for him to act like what he did wasn't all that bad makes it worse.
As for Kyuhyun I think he's confused. I feel he has more feelings for Sungmin then he realize. He's always talking about his Minnie. His is a very strong and possessive term. He may love Hyuk but he care more for Min. That's what I'm getting from His actions.
Donghae is as always, clueless. He never really knows when he does something wrong. And for once he should really pay for his actions. I'm not totally saying he shouldn't get Hyuk back, although I don't want that but hey you're the author here lol. I'm just saying if they do he need to be ten times better then Kyu ever was and suffer good along the way. And lose that arrogance he has.
As for Sungmin I already knew his feelings and I feel bad for him but that bad.
By the way I wish Hyuk and Kyu would've went further in their relationship *if u know what I mean* *naughty grin*

Waiting patently for the next chapter!
