The two boys had become inseparably closer. They went on dates, had couple phone straps - a pair of music notes and even went as far as to French kiss.

Lip biting, humongous blushing and a whole load of racing heartbeats.

“You know, you two look almost like a couple like this.” Siwon chuckled as he walked into the classroom where Kyuhyun was looking at Eunhyuk with love filled eyes while Eunhyuk looked down at his hands shyly chewing on his lower lip.

“With Eunhyuk looking all pretty and shy like this, it’s just too cute.” He followed his words with a pinch on Eunhyuk’s cheeks as he grinned at the panicking Kyuhyun.

‘…if you were a girl.’

There was a sharp pang of pain in Eunhyuk’s heart as he heard Siwon utter those words but then it wasn’t his fault, he had said that without realizing how much pain he was causing Eunhyuk in doing so. Eunhyuk glanced up at Kyuhyun to see him smile apologetically down at him and he smiled back…weak but still there.

‘…if you were a girl.’

“Hey Minho! Sungmin!” Siwon shouted from their classroom as he spotted Eunhyuk’s, and consequently their new friends Minho and Sungmin walking towards them. Eunhyuk quickly tried to suppress the ache in his chest and smiled brightly to the arriving boys, both of whom jumped on Eunhyuk, squealing and giggling their morning greetings.

“Hmph! I w
