Chapter 9
Share You My Love
“Hey, it’s late. I think we should wrap this up now.” Donghae said.
Hyukjae looked up and felt guilty. Donghae’s eyes look tired already. Still bright, but tired. “Yeah, I agree. I feel tired too. We’ve already done two anyway.”
“That’s fast, you know. They were right, you really do write lyrics quickly.”
“Well, it depends on the mood.”
Donghae’s face lit up with a smile. “I guess you’re in a good mood today then.”
Looking away from Donghae, Hyukjae answered with a joke. “It’s the pizza. It’s a great bribe.”
“Then I guess I should bring strawberries next time?” Donghae said with a chuckle.
“I thought it’s my treat next time?”
“Yes but I can still bring strawberries for dessert to keep you in a good mood.”
As if I could be in a bad mood with your sunshine self?
“So, when’s the next time?” Hyukjae asked, changing the topic, and also hoping it won’t be too soon so he can get ahold of his thoughts first. Although he knows they’re working on a tight schedule to have the songs ready and final for recording.
“Do you have a schedule tomorrow?”
Too soon, Donghae.
Luckily Hyukjae really has a schedule as an excuse.
“I have a shoot in the day and then a party to attend at night. How about you?”
Stop asking Hyukjae, dammit.
“I….have things to do in the morning, but mostly I’m free. And then I’m going to the gym in the afternoon, then dinner with friends at night.”
Hyukjae nodded absentmindedly, curious about the “things” Donghae has to do in the morning that he seemed unwilling to share.
“I don’t want to take away your weekend anyway. How about Monday?”
“No, it’s fine!” Donghae shook his head wildly. “Will you be free on Sunday?”
“I’m visiting my family. And besides, you need to stop overworking.”
“It’s really fine with me. I don’t have much to do anyway and I’m used to doing a lot of things in a day,” Donghae said with a pout. “But since you’re visiting your family, then I’d look for other friends to bother.” The pout transformed to a grin.
Hyukjae laughed, wondering if Donghae is bipolar, or just insanely adorable.
“I’m sure you have plenty of friends to bother. Just don’t work tomorrow or on Sunday, okay? You deserve to de-stress and rest.”
“But I’m really fine!” Donghae said with a whine, again making Hyukjae laugh.
Sigh…. He’s so adorable.
“Okay okay, if you say so.”
Donghae answered with a satisfied grin, like a child successfully convincing an adult to give him candies.
“Let’s go home?”
Ba-dump.
Once again that statement made Hyukjae think of things…Of going home together, preparing for bed together, sleeping together and waking up together. It makes him wonder if Donghae is messy or organized like him, if he can cook well or a disaster in the kitchen like him. And before the thoughts get further, he shakes his head violently
