"NO ONE FALLS IN LOVE BY CHOICE, IT IS BY CHANCE. NO ONE STAYS IN LOVE BY CHANCE, IT IS BY WORK. AND NO ONE FALLS OUT OF LOVE BY CHANCE, IT IS BY CHOICE."

 

 

NOBODY’S POV

 

“Kyu, listen to me. We are not having an affair. Donghae hyung and I are just close. You know that. Please… I don’t want to fight about this anymore.”

 

“You really have the guts to say that, huh Lee Ryeowook? You want me to believe all these bull?” the taller man hastily pulls his hair due to anger and frustration. Thankfully, the man he claimed as his husband is currently more than 80 miles away from him or else he don’t know what to do to him. He knows holding his temper is not his well practiced attribute.

 

On the other side of the globe, the piano master was actually shocked to hear his husband addressed him with his maiden name. He stopped calling him Lee after their engagement and even though they have serious misunderstanding, never did Kyuhyun use LEE. Only now. And it sends shiver to his spine. He knew he angered Kyuhyun and he’s not the best person to deal with when he’s currently at this state.

 

“Don’t you trust me Kyu? Don’t you love me anymore?” he inquired while holding back his tears.

 

“I ing love you that’s why it hurts so much! And don’t you dare talk about TRUST! You discarded mine ever since you entertained Lee Donghae.

 

“I… I’m sorry Kyu…” he cried helplessly.

 

"Too late now, Ryeowook. I’ll talk to my lawyer. The moment you return, the divorce papers will be ready.”

 

“W-what?”

 

“I want a divorce.”

 

“No, Kyu… please… we can still talk about this. I’m going to get the first flight available so I can go home and we could talk… please Kyu… please… I love you…”

 

 

 

 

“I hate you, Ryeowook. I really hate you.”

DONGHAE POV

 

7:45 AM, Lee International Holdings Inc. Building

 

"Jieun-ssi, I want my coffee in five minutes."

 

After giving my sister a small smile, I made my way to my office. Another hell week will begin. A week long of endless meetings, paper works, and decision making. Don't get me wrong, I love this company and my job but I'm currently at the point where I don't know if I'm still doing what I'm suppose to do. If I'm still capable of leading my people towards success. I'm starting to question my own leadership and capabilities which never happened in the past.

 

LEE DONGHAE is someone who possesses knowledge and skills no one can question. My decision making and critical thinking attributes have always been my strongest points, not to mention my looks, my wealth and power.

 

But...

 

As weeks gone by with Eunhyuk by my side - again - I still feel like I'm not 100% happy. I'm not going to lie, Eunhyuk's presence really made a difference in my life. Whenever I'm having a bad day, he would always find a way to make me feel better. His animated way of telling stories never failed to bring out the childish Hae that I never thought existed... ever!

 

Sometimes I envy him because he can be carefree anytime he wants. He always find something to look forward to everyday. Over thinking never appears on his vocabulary. He is someone who takes today as it is. He never questions.

 

Sometimes I wanted to be a normal person. You know someone who takes a bus or train on the way to work. A person who can eat street foods while strolling along Han River. I never enjoyed those things because my future has been decided at the age of five. I started young because my late grandfather was a perfectionist. Mistakes are big NO NO to him. It was hard because I'm always work and no play. He never accepts failure in every sense of the word. I grew up listening to his endless lectures about dealing with people in the business world. Never did I hear him talking about basketball games, soccer or even how he met my grandmother. He’s always business this, business that.

 

‘YOU’RE DOING THIS ALL YOUR LIFE, DONGHAE. TODAY IS NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE. MAYBE A GOOD REST WILL HELP YOU BRING BACK THE OLD YOU. JUST TAKE A REST.’

 

My reverie was cut by Jieun's soft, endearing voice.

 

‘AM I TOO FOCUS ON MYSELF THINKING THAT I DIDN’T HEAR HER ENTER THE ROOM?’

 

"Here's your coffee, Hae oppa." she puts down a cup of steaming hot coffee on my table and takes a sit on the couch I front of my mahogany table, eyes glued on me.

 

I take the cup and sips from it before turning to her, "Is there something on my face, my dear sister?"

 

"None. But there is something, in your eyes perhaps, that I haven't seen for years. Is there something you're not telling me?" she inquired but not in a way too offending.

 

“What do you mean something?” I rose from my swivel chair and take the spot next to her.

 

“I know Hyuk has been living with you for weeks already. We may not talk everyday, but he’s kind enough to update me every now and then about your improvement. And base on what he said, you two are getting better each day. Am I correct?”

 

“Compared to what I was when I first met him, yes it is BETTER.”

 

“That’s good to know. But how come you seemed not happy?”

 

“This isn’t about our relationship. It’s about me, Jieun-ah.”

 

She held my hand and gently placed it on her lap.

 

“Is there something you want to tell me? You know I’m willing to listen.” She smiled.

 

Even though we aren’t blood related, Jieun is someone who can read me as an open book. She can easily say if I’m happy or if I’m bothered with something. She is a girl who can stay with me watching action flick movies for hours, cheering till our throat hurts while enjoying a live basketball game, but most importantly, Kim Jieun is someone who listens to me

Chapter 3: i read the same story in this website but instead of eunhae as the main characters it was kyuwook, and they were victoria as the sister of the ceo, OC as the sister of ryeowook, donghae as the brother in- law of ryeowook, changmin who kept ryeowook as his husband in us,.
and so more..there is a plagiarism involved,.i dont know who is the original though.

Chapter 41: I'm not sure if you are still around. So, I am just going to give a summary comment.
You have a good story. I may go with Hyuk marrying his first love, not knowing that Donghae is alive. But, it was so hard for me to take that Hyuk stayed with Donghae and put up with all the pain just so Donghae can love him back. I probably have too much of a pride to do that.
But I'm glad everything ends well. Congratulations.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Chapter 41: erm.. the storyline is there, but the plot a bit scattered here and there.. and 5years kinda long time if you ask me.. but for the development of the story? yes, it does have it own pros and cons.

but but but, who am i to judge anyways.. me myself cant write a single story by myself. hope you can accept this opinion since i've read tons of eunhae fanfics hehehe xD

when i read this story EunHae has realised their new album growing pains & it's already fit this fan fic even the name fit it more
so note for new reader when u are about chapter 25 u can listen to it when u read until the end of story
This cold night street
These heartbreaking footsteps
Some day, it’ll all pass
Memories of us crazily in love
It will slowly flow down
Forgotten with time
(Forgotten)

I tried going into your closed heart
But in this empty room
I discovered ourselves already broken
So it hurts

But I hope you aren’t hurting as much as me
I hope for this every day, countlessly
I hope you won’t remember as much as I do
I hope you’re better than me
Oh today and tomorrow

eunhyuk:
My thoughts that were filled with you
Even those thoughts push me away as if they’re irritated
I chase after the clock hands, chase after time
But there, I discovered you leaving
I’m in a rush and you’re in a hurry to leave
Like an express train, my footsteps are rushed every day
(Surrendered to the memories)
Now we’re like an old and worn notebook filled with scribbles

so donghae replied:
I tried going into my lost memories
But now I can’t see you
I discovered ourselves already disappeared
So it hurts (it hurts so much)

But I hope you aren’t hurting as much as me
I hope for this every day, countlessly
I hope you won’t remember as much as I do
I hope you’re better than me

Oh today and tomorrow

One Two Three Four Five (I put it all down today)
I guess I’m forgetting (I can’t really see you)
Five Four Three Two One, I think time is up

But I hope you aren’t hurting as much as me
I hope for this every day, countlessly
I hope you won’t remember as much as I do
I hope you’re better than me

Oh today and tomorrow
