EUNHYUK'S POV

'Yo! Minnie, Kyuhyun, who's that blonde-haired guy with you guys? Looks like a nerd, I thought you don't normally hang out with nerds?' A handsome man asked the two of them as we approached a table at the cafeteria. There were several others at the table too. They were busy chatting before, but soon turned their attention towards me. 

'Aish Yesung, you're so mean! I hang out with almost everyone okay~ And this boy over here, he's my new roommate and friend! His name is Lee Hyukjae, but he prefers to be called Eunhyuk.' Sungmin explained while sitting down at the table with Kyuhyun.

I looked at them, wondering whether I coud sit down too. When Kyuhyun had sat down with Sungmin, he gestured for me to sit beside him. Well, I guess I could sit down with them, then. As soon as I sat down, the man identified as Yesung stared at me while eating his sandwich as if he trying to figure out something really hard. Finding the situation incredibly awkward, I looked at his hands instead. That was when I found out he had really small hands. I looked like a freaking giant compared to him if you looked at our size difference.

'Hmmm, you know, Eunhyuk, was it? Can you take off your glasses for me?' Yesung asked, his question popping out of nowhere. Everyone was looking at us so I decided to do as he requested.

'S..sure.' I said uncertainly, taking off my glasses. Oh holy crabsticks, now I couldn't see anything!

'Waaah, Eunhyuk, you're quite handsome, aren't you? Hey, Kibum, what if you worked your magic on him? He'd be really handsome then, right?' Yesung squealed and asked the guy next to him.

Suddenly, Sungmin joined in the conversation. 'Yeah yeah!! I know right! I was thinking the exact same thing! How about it, Eunhyukkie, want to go for a makeover? It'd be really fun!' He giggled.

The guy next to Yesung looked at me, scrutinizing my facial features. 'Hmmmm, you guys are right, but Yesung! I told you to call me Key, right? Hmph. Anyway, Eunhyuk, your jawline is awesome!' Key complimented. Soon after, everyone at the table was looking at me, admiring my jawline and telling me to go for the makeover that the trio had suggested. I wasn't used to this kind of attention. 

'Yah, guys, I think we should give Eunhyuk here some personal space.' Kyuhyun said in the middle of the mess. They all then moved away from me, muttering a few sorry's. Phew.

'Thanks, Kyuhyun.' I said, putting my glasses back on. 

'Ah, should we introduce ourselves? I'm Yesung, nice to meet ya' Eunhyuk!' Yesung said cheerfully. 

'I'm Kibum, but please call me Key.'

When they had finished introducing themselves, I could already memorize all their names. Well, I can memorize dance steps with a single look, why can't I memorize their names, right? 

The petite and cute-looking girl was Min, the diva-looking one was Key, the one with small hands was Yesung, and the girly and innocent-faced guy was Kevin. They all seemed nice enough. I could trust them, couldn't I? After all, they were Sungmin's friends.

'So how about it, Eunhyuk? Want to undergo a makeover? Not that you're not already handsome the way you are.' Key asked and everyone turned to look at me. They all looked eager for me to say 'yes'.

I sighed, saying 'Yeah, sure, why not?'

'Really? Waaahhh~ This is going to be exciting!! Key never fails!' Sungmin said excitedly, bouncing in his chair. I looked at him and smiled. Well, anything for my new friends.

'Hoho~ Now that we've already known each other, can we eat? I'm starving hereeee.' Min pouted, rubbing her tummy.

'Oh right, it's lunchtime. Let's eat! I'm hungry too.' Kevin said, picking up his utensils to cut the steak infront of him.

DONGHAE'S POV

*RING DING DONG RING DING DONG* 

Well then, I guess it's time for me to stop being so ing anti-social and to be back to the cheerful Donghae now. I headed back to class, bracing and hoping that I wouldn't go back to being emotional later on. After all, I had two steps to complete today. Step one, stop being so ing anti-social. Step two, apologize to that blonde-haired boy for earlier on and be friends with him. Yep, those were the two steps.When I went inside the classroom, I found Eunhyuk sitting down at his seat, taking out his books for the next lesson. I approached him carefully, stopping in front of his table. He looked up at me, confused. 

'Uh, hey, sorry for my rudeness earlier on, I wasn't feeling very good. Can we start afresh?' I said, ruffling my hair and smiling.

He seemed taken aback by my apology, and stared at me for awhile before saying 'Sure! I'm Lee Eunhyuk.' while grinning. Woah, his gummy smile was so cute! 

'Thanks. I'm Lee Donghae, we have the same surname!' I joked, trying to lighten the mood and make him laugh. I wanted to see more of his gummy smile.

'Yeah, I guess so.' He smiled softly without revealing his gums. I was kind of disappointed, but oh well, I'll have to whole day to talk to him, right? After all, I am his seatmate. He can't escape from me, muwahaha. Soon, our Math teacher, Mrs Park, went into the classroom. I proceeded to sit down beside him and I didn't know why, but I stared at him throughout the entire lesson. His skin was that of a milky white, his jawline was truly magnificent and so defined, but his body was so thin and frail-looking. I tried to look at his face in more detail, but his thick glasses prevented me from doing so.

While I was staring at him, he suddenly looked at me. , was I caught? 

'Donghae-ssi? Does this school have a dance room?' He asked me innocently. Thank God I wasn't caught.. I mentally heaved a sigh of relief. 

'Haha, you can call me Hae. Can I call you Hyukkie?' I asked, surprised that I even asked that question. Why was I so random?

He looked at me in surprise first before nodding. I smiled.

'Well then Hyukkie, yes, there are several dance rooms in this school. Why?' 

'Uhmm, if it's okay with you, can you take me to where they are? If I go without a day of dancing, I'd feel uncomfortable..' He confessed, looking down.

'Wow~ If you dance everyday, that should mean you're a professional, right?' I grinned.

'I'm not that good,' 

'Ey~ Why are you so modest? Anyway, sure, I don't mind bringing you to the dance room. But in return, can I watch you dance? I like to dance too.' I said.

'Alright Do- I mean, Hae. Thanks!' He grinned, revealing his gums, again. I couldn't help but smile back. Who could resist that smile? 

===

Ah~ Class is finally over! I'm so tired.. I sighed as I rested my chin on my table, looking out of the window. Appa... Wait, I'm supposed to be cheerful now, right? Aish Donghae, stop being emotional, please~ I pleaded with myself mentally. Suddenly, I felt someone tapping me lightly on the shoulder. I turned my head around only to find Eunhyuk's face being dangerously close to mine. I could feel his hot breath on my skin, and I saw him widening his eyes before pulling away and looking down, his face turning as bright as a tomato. I smirked. He was so adorable. 

'Yes?' I asked while smiling.

'Uh.. Class has ended now, right? Can you bring me to the dance room now?' He asked softly, obviously still shy from what just happened.

Oh right, how could I forget our promise? I was supposed to show him to where the dance rooms were.. Just as I was about to answer him, Sungmin came skipping to our table happily.

'Hi Donghae, hi Eunhyukkie! Eunhyukkie, let's go to our room now?' He asked, smiling to the both of us.

'Hey.' I smiled back. After all, step one was to stop being so ing anti-social, right?

'Oh, Sungmin-ah, you can go ahead first with Kyuhyun, Donghae's going to show me to where the dance rooms are located at..' He said, looking at Sungmin in the eye. I couldn't help but feel jealous. Why was he so shy with me and not with Sungmin? 

'Whaaat? You could've asked me, you know!' Sungmin pouted, puffing his cheeks. Eunhyuk chuckled softly at Sungmin's natural aegyo.

'It's okay, Sungmin, Donghae's already promised to show me where they are. Besides, I don't want to interfere in you and Kyuhyun's moments.' 

'But..' Sungmin started to protest.

Maybe I should step in to save Hyukkie.. 'Sungmin, it's okay, I've already promised him. Don't worry, it's not like I'm going to hurt him, right?' I smiled. 

He looked at me in surprise before answering me. 'Yeah, I guess. Thanks Donghae. Protect him for me, okay? See you later, Eunhyukkie!' He waved as he walked back to his table, where Kyuhyun was waiting for him.

'Well then, shall we go now?' I asked Eunhyuk while standing up from my chair. He nodded. How cute. Wait, how can that be cute? He was just nodding. Donghae you weirdo.

~~~

As we reached the dance room, I watched as he rushed in, his eyes filled with excitement. He looked like a little boy who'd just discovered toys. (A/N; LOL RANDOM SORRY) I chuckled, watching him.

'Are you that fascinated by the dance room?' I teased.

To my surprise, he answered me, his voice rising by a pitch. Wow, was he excited or what?

'Yes! Of course! It's HUGE! Look at all these mirrors and the space that I can dance in!' He squealed.

I smiled. 'Well then, why don't you start dancing? You haven't forgotten our deal right? I show you the dance room, and I get to watch you dance!' I asked, still smiling.

'Oh right.. Then can you help me to put on the music, Hae? I don't think I'll know how to..' He said, lowering his eyes. Why would he not know how to? I shrugged off that thought. Maybe he really didn't.

'What song would you like?'

'Anything would be fine, Hae.' Was he going to dance freestyle, since any song was fine for him? After little thought, I put on my favorite song, Neverland by U-Kiss. I sat on the floor, watching Eunhyuk as he warmed up his body, preparing to dance. He really did seem professional. Was I right, after all? After warming up his body, he started dancing, his arms and body moving in sync with the music, even though it wasn't the actual choreography. I was immediately captivated with his dancing. It was so effortless, the way his body was moving with the music. His eyes were concentrated on his reflection, he himself analyzing his dance movements. Could anyone actually be that good at dancing? I was awestruck. Even though I loved dancing too, I don't think I could dance as well as him. This guy, he was a dance machine!

Suddenly, he stopped dancing at looked at me. 'Why are you staring at me like that, Hae?' He asked innocently. . I hadn't realized that the music had stopped. I snapped out of my trance and answered him.

'N-nothing.. I was just captivated by your dancing. You're an amazing dancer, Hyukkie!' I complimented. He blushed, muttering a, 'Thanks'. 

'Shall I put on more music for you to dance to?' I asked, wanting to see him dance more. He simply nodded. As he started dancing again, I started my session of staring at his flawless movements all over again. How beautiful. After about 30 minutes or so, Eunhyuk walked over to me.

'Hae, I think we should go now. I'm tired.' He panted. Seeing him close-up, I realized that he was sweating profusely. Sweat dripped from his hair, falling to his face, travelling down to his body. Mm, y. Ey, Donghae, what are you thinking about again? I stood up nodding.

'Yeah, we probably should go now. It's getting late anyway.' I replied, glancing at the clock on the wall. 

'You know, Hyukkie. I'm glad that you've accepted my apology just now. I'm happy to be friends.' I told him, smiling. He seemed taken aback by my sudden confession, but smiled to me too. 

~~~

I'm so tired.. I flopped onto my bed as soon as I got out of the shower, my hair still dripping wet. Ah, who cares. All I wanted to do now was to sleep. As I closed my eyes, images of Eunhyuk suddenly flashed through my mind. His gummy smile, his dancing, his y look.. Aish, Donghae, you're thinking weird things again.. You can't possibly be.. wait, was I?

EUNHYUK'S POV

So we've finally reached the dance room, huh? My body was trembling with excitement. I didn't know that my body could take any more excitement, as when I went into the dance room, my eyes immediately widened with excitement and awe. It was huge! There were mirrors all around, it was air-conditioned, and there was more than ample space for me to dance in! Was this Heaven?

As Donghae put on an unfamiliar song for me to dance to, I started warming up my body and analyzing the music to dance to. After I felt that I was ready, I started dancing. Immediately, I felt that all my problems were washed away, like how I'd felt when Donghae smiled his innocent smile at me. I had always loved dancing. I danced when I was happy, sad, troubled, stressed, any time really. I always felt so calm and relaxed when dancing. Some might listen to songs, watch movies, take long walks to relieve their stress, but for me, I would always dance. It never failed me, not once. 

After about 30 minutes or so, I started to feel tired. Sweat was dripping rapidly. I looked at Donghae who was staring at me. He seemed dazed. Why was he dazed? Walking up to him, I managed to say a 'Hae, I think we should go now. I'm tired.' in between my panting. He nodded and stood up. 

While walking towards our respective rooms, he suddenly looked at me and said, 'You know, Hyukkie. I'm glad that you've accepted my apology just now. I'm happy to be friends.' while smiling his innocent smile. I felt my heart skip a beat. Friends eh? My heart immediately felt warm. I was so touched. I smiled back at him, not able to say anything. Before walking to his room, he walked me to my room. How nice of him. Turns out we were only 2 doors apart.

As I walked into the room as quietly as I could in fear that Sungmin was sleeping, I found him lying on his bed reading a book. He sat up immediately when I walked in. 'Whoa Eunhyukkie, why're you sweating so much?' He asked, curious.

'I was dancing, remember?' I reminded him.

'Oh, right. You better go and get showered then!' He told me, shooing me into the shower. 

~~~

Walking out of the shower, Sungmin sat up from his bed and sniffed around. 'Hey, Eunhyukkie, you smell like strawberries!' 

I smelled myself. Was my strawberry-scented shampoo so strong? 'I'm sorry.' I apologized, thinking that he didn't like the smell of strawberries. 

'Why are you apologizing? I like it!' He smiled. I blushed, embarrassed. 

'Sooo.. how was your first day of school? Liking it so far?' He asked, his face anticipating for an answer. 

I looked at him and nodded. 'Yeah, it's going great so far, thanks to you.' I smiled. I really meant that.

'Really? I'm glad then! Anyway, how was Donghae just now?'

'Hae? He was fine, completely different from the first time we met though.' I told him.

'Hmm, really? That's strange. Why is he suddenly so nice? He'd been so emotional for the past month,' Sungmin thought aloud. '- maybe he likes you?' He continued. Whaaaat? Likes me? I stared at him, surprised. He giggled to himself.

'I was just joking, Eunhyukkie. You know, you look really cute when you're surprised!' I blushed again. The people here were so full of compliments. I wasn't used to it yet.

'Oh and Eunhyukkie? The makeover you agreed to, Key said that it'll be commencing this weekend. You're okay with it, right?' This weekend? Wow, that's 4 days from now. I nodded. 

'Alright!' He squealed. 'Let's go to sleep now. You're probably tired.' He continued as he switched off the lights. He was right. I was tired. Hugging my pillow, I closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to overcome me. Suddenly, my mind wandered off to Donghae's y lazy voice just now, his innocent smile that could melt anyone's smile, the way he was staring at me just now... Ey, Hyukjae, you're thinking of weird things again! I then thought of his confession earlier. Friends, eh? I smiled, remembering the moment. Maybe coming here was the right decision after all.

Chapter 7: So far this story is good I just don't really like how scared of them girls Hyukjae is. It's like he's some spineless p***y that don't have any balls what-so-ever.
I know he went though a lot in his past but still he is a man, I guess! lol
Good chapter all the same. =D

Chapter 3: Poor EunHae went trough so much at a young age. I hope that Hae doesn't do anything to Hyukjae to make him scared seeing that he's scared of his own shadow.
Also I very curious about his past. Was the boy that had started the mass his friend at one time? And at least I know it wasn't Hae. =D
EunHaeLove42 #10
Chapter 1: Hummm I wonder who's Kyuhyuns best friend? I think it will be Donghae or Siwon. Because I'm a little confused on who the orange haired boy and his gang was. At first I thought of him being Hae but then I thought about Sungmin's boyfriend best friend.
