My Hot Babe
"Lee Donghae, you are a married man! You can't go back and live at a dorm!"
Donghae knew: his husband won't take this well. He throws his clothes. Into the suitcase by the bed.
"Baby," he says. Turns to Hyukjae. "It's just easier. For me. For the members. For the managers. For you. Think about it. I have to leave at three in the morning some days! You have your job. I can't be bothering you. Once our promotions and schedules are over, I'll be back. It's not forever."
Hyukjae is still unhappy.
"I don't care when you have to get up and come home..."
"I care," Donghae says. "I'll disrupt your normal routine. You're going to be tired for work. Some places are also... well. Far. I'll be coming here for an hour's sleep? Or thirty minutes? It just makes no sense, Hyuk..."
Hyukjae's eyes are getting red. Donghae hugs him. His husband has only cried six times. Throughout the four years they've been together. Donghae's mostly the tearful one. So Hyukjae's tears are precious.
"Okay! If you don't want me going then I won't!"
He'll endure anything. Just so Hyukjae doesn't start crying. He rubs his back. Kisses his cheek. His neck. He's scared of hearing a sob.
"It's okay..."
"Huh?" Donghae parts.
Hyukjae sighs. Goes around him. Picks up the shirt. That Donghae threw earlier. He folds it neatly.
"Hand me your clothes, I'll pack for you."
"What?"
"Your clothes, Hae..." Hyukjae says.
Donghae takes both his hands. Looks into his eyes.
"Hyukjae?"
"I said it's okay." Hyukjae smiles a little. "You're right. It makes sense to stay at the dorm with everyone else." He bites his lip. Blinks down.
Donghae hates it. All over again. That he's a singer. Part of a group. He lifts Hyukjae's chin.
"I'll quit. Do you want me to quit?"
"What the hell?" Hyukjae has smacked his arm. "Are you crazy? You ever say that again and we are getting a divorce! Understood?"
"Yes! No quitting! No divorce!"
"Good," Hyukjae says. Smiles. "Okay, clothes, baby. Get up and give me your clothes. You travel so much and you still don't know how to do it properly..."
"Okay..."
Hyukjae's pouting as he folds. But he quickly smiles. Every time he catches Donghae's gaze.
Donghae just loves him so much more.
