Hyukjae's frowning. Checking his phone. Donghae leans closer. Hyukjae turns his screen off. Puts his phone away.

"Oh, it was just... reminders! Hae, what should we have for breakfast today?"

Donghae looks at him. "Hyukjae? What is it?"

"What? What is what?"

"Honeybun, don't," Donghae says. Grabs his face. "Tell me. What was that?"

Hyukjae giggles. Grabs Donghae's face. "I can do this too if you don't let me go..."

Donghae lets him go. He can't hide it. That he's upset with Hyukjae. He gets out of bed.

"Hae..."

Donghae just heads to the bathroom.

 

---

 

At noon... Hyukjae's phone has stopped. It's not alerting him. Not making noise. Not vibrating. Not even lighting up.

But Hyukjae's eyes will dart to it.

Donghae thinks... he probably just turned it off. He takes both their phones anyway. Leaves them in the bedroom. They aren't supposed to be on them. Or thinking about what they're missing. They'd agreed to it. Their friends and family know. That they won't be checking their phone regularly.

Buf Donghae's show of being upset... doesn't do much. Because Hyukjae's too preoccupied. By whatever "reminder" he got in the morning. He isn't even noticing. That Donghae's mad at him.

So Donghae gives up. Moves towards Hyukjae. During their movie. He pecks his cheek. Wraps his arms around him. Hyukjae presses a kiss on his head. And he sighs. Quiet. Perturbed.

Donghae sits straight. Turns off their movie. Hyukjae doesn't seem startled. He doesn't complain. Whine. Doesn't say anything at all. He just gazes sadly at him. Donghae gets up. Goes to their bedroom. Grabs both their phones.

He comes to sit back down.

Hyukjae's biting his lip.

Donghae hands him his phone. "Hyukjae... you have to tell me."

Hyukjae sighs again.

"It's... stupid..." he says. Takes his phone. Slowly taps. "Oh, there's more..."

"More what?"

"I think... someone must've recognized me from those pictures... they left a comment on an article, saying I looked like a teacher at their brother's school. You know our school website has the staff names and emails... so... people looked me up and found that. Now I'm getting... stuff on my work email..." He laughs. Sounds anxious. "It's okay though. A lot of it is going to spam and I emailed the principal if I could just be taken off the website... so... it's okay..."

Donghae's shocked. "Can I see?" He holds his hand out.

Hyukjae shakes his head. Phone behind his back. "I'm sorry, Hae... no..."

Donghae understands. It's stuff that would make him angry. He feels furious already. He swallows. Nods.

"D-Don't delete it. Save them. Everything you get."

Hyukjae lo

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: 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.
