"Hae," Hyukjae says. "Baby, how are you feeling?"

Donghae's voice is still tired on the phone. 

"Hi, Hyuk. I'm better. Don't worry."

Hyukjae bites his lip. He could go home early. He should.

"Hae, sweetie, did you eat the sandwich? Are you drinking water?"

Donghae chuckles. "Yes. I'm okay now."

"Then why do you sound like that?"

"Like what? Babe, I just woke up so I'm a little groggy, but I swear I feel better."

Hyukjae hums. Worried. He doesn't like it. Donghae had such a bad headache last night. He couldn't even sleep. But he told Hyukjae to go to work. Because he joked he'll be sleeping all day today.

"Baby..." Donghae says. "I'm fine. Seriously. But I'm craving some fried chicken..."

"I'll pick it up on the way home!" Hyukjae says. He doesn't want the other to go out. Or start making it himself.

Donghae laughs softly. "Okay. Thank you, baby."

"Take it easy, okay?" Hyukjae says. "Just stay in bed."

"Alright, darling. I love you."

"I love you too."

Donghae does feel better. His headache was due to sleep. He's had an inconsistent amount. Regularly now. Late night work. Recording. Then leaving early morning. It was just four days. So he didn't need to stay at the dorm again. But it affected his body.

He feels off now. Because he stupidly slept too much. Hyukjae's going to think something's wrong with him. He does think something's wrong with him.

Donghae's gotten out of bed. He had to move around. He saw Hyukjae's album shelves had some dust earlier.

So he's cleaning now. Carefully moving his albums. A lot of which are KRYD. Yesung. Donghae smiles. 

It's really sweet. Hyukjae still being a fanboy. Supporting them.

He works slowly. Opens and looks through each album. Places it back.

He gets to the last two bottom shelves. Yesung's individual versions are all displayed here. They are facing outward. On the edge. Different than all the other ones. Donghae takes the

Chapter 19: Re-reading this for the third time and just realised that I don't know the whole love story of donghae and eunhyuk . It would be great if u can give us bonus chapter of that, if it's too much then it's fine like this also.
Ps:- in case I had missed the part of there love story it would be great if anyone can tell me how it happened.
Thanks

Chapter 69: 🥺🥺 this is why ppl should take time to think and be mindful of other ppl's feelings before throwing out words or doing things. Because once words are spoken and actions were done, it'll be very hard to take them back and undo the damage you've caused.
I know Jaemin wants to correct his mistakes, but the damage has been done. And it's not that easy to forgive because they were hurt emotionally and even lost their jobs 🥺

I hope fans will know this and reflect on themselves. Our idols are humans too. They can get hurt with our words and actions. If we really love and support them, respect them and their decisions, because no amount of money you spent on them can make you own them. They do not owe you anything either.

Chapter 69: Ok somehow it's cute how naive Jaymin is. Thinking that he can make things right when he is now supporting his favorite idol with their real life partner. But I also can understand Donghae's frustration and anger. The damage was done in the past and unfortunately it's hard to make the community forget. It's not like in a fairytale where a fairy godmother appears, swinging her wand and everything is fine again. I think kids like Jaymin need to understand that. But I'm glad he's trying and regards his former opinion about the whole situation. Unfortunately he's only one in a million of so many haters. I can feel that Hae has a hard time to trust that kid now, but Hyukkie is trying to give him another chance. Let's see where this will lead them to. Thank you for another new bonus ❤️

Chapter 69: Hae can't just easily forget how those nasty comments ha affected them especially hyuk. The last part kinda hurts because yes, they accepted what happened in the past but thinking all of those just hurts.

Fortunately these two were strong to go through all of these. Now that they've finally moved on from it comes a reminder of those moments. But I guess Jaymin really had changed; the fact that he wanted to correct his wrongs.

We really have to careful w the words we say because we may forget them in the long run but for those affected they will always remember it.

Thank you for the bonus again, authornim! ^^

Chapter 69: These bonuses are so good. You have this great ability to perfectly describe the essence of an issue or situation. Your characters and dialogues feel vibrant and real. Good job, author 💙

Chapter 69: He's right. At this point there's no going back to before, even if there was a big shift in fans' attitudes and they started treating them, or idols in general, better. It doesn't erase what they've been through, and Donghae obviously doesn't want to fight to return to that world. At least not now. Seems he'd rather just move on, and no amount of positive, supportive articles or any other press will change that.

If he's not interested in returning to the spotlight and all the hardships that would mean for him and Hyuk, it's almost better to ignore any of those gossipy editorials, good or bad. It's basically irrelevant what people think or say now. Let what happened be a lesson to these enlightened fans, so that they educate other fans to not do the same again and make other idols leave the industry unfairly. But everyone just needs to move on, and let them live their lives happily and how they want now.

Chapter 69: I really like how you're having Donghae be just plain angry. I can't blame him. And expecting celebrities to always take it with a smile when fans mistreat them is absurd, but somehow we do expect that.

Chapter 69: I really feel Donghae's hurt for what they had to go through especially Hyukjae. If only these fans respected them as real persons with feelings.
Thank you so much for another bonus chapter.
