The One Thing I Didn't Count On

Description

Donghae thought he had his life figured out. Graduate high school, go to college, find a decent job, and create his future loving family. He thought it was all set it stone but the one thing he didn't count on was meeting someone who would change the way he saw his life. 

Foreword

"Donghae-ah, be happy, my son. I want you to do things that will make you happy, ok? Always...Always follow yo-your heart..."

Donghae's face was soaked with his tears as he held on to his fathers hands. He could feel him fading away and it scared him. It scared him that after today, after the next minute, he might not see his Dad ever again. He would never hear his voice again. The fact that right now would be the last time he would ever get to hold his hand this way again. 

"I love you, son. I love you," Donghae's Dad kissed the top of his head as he tried to cradle him in his arms. He reached his hand out towards his wife and other son and held them close. He didn't want to leave yet but it was too hard to hang on. He felt tired and exhausted and sleep sounded pretty nice right now. 

Donghae felt his father go limp even though he was the one who was holding on to him. He heard his mother and brother behind him cry out but all he did was bury his head in his father's chest and held on to his body tighter. He couldn't let go of him. Not today. Not yet. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: So....believe it or not this story is not angst! Although, I do kinda hate myself since I just lost like a huge chunk of this story but I'll try to remember what I wrote and have this mini-story up before Valentine's Day is over! :)) There's a huge irony here as I write this story and I just shake my head in disappointment. :(

P.S. I hope ELFs all around the world can send positive vibes to Donghae so he feels better and support his new song, HARMONY! :)

Chapter 4: J'ai vraiment aimé cet fic, Hae ressemble enfin à lui même fort et têtu (nous savons tous qu'il à déjà défendu quelqu'un victime d'intimidation quand il était jeune), je n'aime pas quand on le fait ressemblé à un enfant de 5 ans capricieux. Merci pour cet adorable fic. 💙💙💙

Chapter 4: I think this story wraps the feeling nicely.
Through the final chapter, I'm able to understand both of Donghae and Hyukjae's feeling which are complicated and beautiful.
Feels like their new journey is about to begin and I hope you are going to write the update of the mature version. ** ahemmm..
I'm craving for of them.. well.. maybe Hyukjae's first time with Donghae? I'm such a ert. lmao.

Chapter 2: I'm grinning like a pabo reading the first paragraph.
I like the most when author including real life reference of hyukjae and donghae to a story.
I can clearly imagining Donghae sulking because Hyukjae didn't tell him the secret.
I am so relieved in the end Hyukjae could be honest with Donghae.

Chapter 1: Wow this is so cute. Reading the epilogue I thought Donghae character would be calm and thought this was going to be a bit sad.
But guess Donghae is a happy energetic boy who knows how to love his life. I am sure his father is proud of him.
I am so happy that Donghae realizes his love so quick and make his move so fast.
I'm gonna read the next chapters tomorrow and my heart flutters from reading this beautiful story.
I have a soft spot for high school setting. Really reminds me of the days when I was in high school.
