"Baby..." Hyukjae calls.

Donghae steps out of the closet. The room. Down the hallway.

"Look!" Hyukjae says. He's opened the kitchen cabinets. "It's all full!"

"Oh..." Donghae smiles. "That's great."

"You think we can use it?"

"Yeah."

Hyukjae laughs. Happy. "We just get groceries and hang out here for a few weeks! Amazing, right?"

"I guess... yeah..."

Hyukjae steps to him. Kisses his cheek. "What's wrong? You're not sure about this?"

Donghae takes his arm. "No, it's good. Sorry, let's unpack first."

"Okay..."

Nothing's wrong. It's just that... it doesn't solve anything. It's a temporary solution.

This place also doesn't feel secure. Private. Like their apartment.

Even if everyone knows now... that Donghae and his husband live there... they couldn't come up. Turn up at their door. Take pictures of their home. Outside. Or get into the building easily.

But here... if someone finds out...

They can just ring the doorbell. See them. In the small garden. Through windows. Even hear them. Anywhere outside the house.

 

---

 

But Hyukjae's excited. He likes the place. It belongs to Saeun's family. Her aunt and uncle. An old couple. They moved closer to their son. Wanted to sell this place. But they had just moved out a week ago. Hadn't come to a decision yet. They didn't mind. Renting it out to Donghae and Hyukjae. Just for a while. The place is furnished too.

They came here at dawn. Donghae swapped cars with his brother. Then drove.

It's a little house out of the city. Small town.

 

---


Donghae lets Hyukjae lead them. Through the hours. Days. That he feels uneasy.

Hyukjae's good at it. Or Donghae just loves him. Doesn't want to worry him.

Donghae tried the same trick. That Hyukjae had. On their anniversary trip. That first day.

He dragged his husband to bed. Because Hyukjae wanted to go out. Explore the town. But Donghae felt... it was too early. Too soon. They can't be seen.

 

---

 

They do have to leave the house. Get food. It doesn't go as bad as Donghae thought.

There's only a few places. For shopping. They do get asked. Who they are.

Hyukjae says they're renovators. Working on the house by the hill. Everyone knows which house. They nod. Ask if they need help. Wish them luck.

"Babe..." Donghae says. Later. "You could've said we're visiting..."

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.
