~Yuna~

------------------------------------

The silence became more and more awkward as all of us were quiet, JaeJoong ignoring my presence as he was looking around, Donghae sometimes throwing glances at me, smiling and YeJin.. well.. she was just.. quiet.

"So.. we're all here" I said, breaking the silence, trying to somewhat laugh it away

"Yes we are" YeJin said

I somehow felt the ignorant, sarcastic and icecold tone in her words which caused me to look at her. She ignored me ofc ourse and looked at JaeJoong who at the moment didn't seem to have any interest

"Well.. funny how we would run into each other like this" I said, chuckling, looking at Donghae first which I was given a smile as a respond as JaeJoong was stubbornly quiet. Not even a asarcastic sentence came out

"Then how about we have dinner together?"

The sudden suggestion gave me almost a heart attack and when I looked up, I saw JaeJoong looking at me.

There was no feelings displayed in his eyes, he pretended like nothing was wrong, not caring or seemed to have any kind of guilt from yesterday's situation which had caused me to be depressed all day long. He just.. he was ... just ... I don't know, not even I could put it into words.

"Dinner together?" I asked

"Yup, it'll be nice. The more the merrier they say" JaeJoong said

"I have no problem with that" Donghae said

I looked at Donghae surprisingly. He just kept smiling at me.

"But Jae..." YeJin started off, but JaeJoong quieten her down

"We're all friends. Let's hang out as... friends" JaeJoong said

When the waiter came back, he asked a table for four, in a private corner since he didn't want us to be disturbed. The waiter nodded and took for menues and showed us the way. I was at loss while walking, feeling myself slowing down behind them as I could hear them get further and further away from me.

"Yuna..."

I looked up to see Donghae stop in front of me and he made me look at him by raising my chin with his finger.

"Oh.. Oh.. Donghae ?" I asked

"Gwenchana~? You seem to be.. far away" He mumbled

I chuckled, trying to somehow cover it and avoid it

"I need some fresh air, I'll.. be right back okay?"

"But.. Yuna.. Do..."

i shut the bag of mine in his hands and hurried outside in order to catch my breath. As soon as I thought that I was faraway enough for them to not see me I frustrated let out a sigh as all kinds of questions came to mind.

Why is he here with YeJin? Why do we have to go to the same restaurant?

WHY HASN'T HE CONTACTED ME ALL DAY?!

My breathing started to increase as I felt myself getting more and more frustrated about the things that was happening at the moment. This was not a good moment for me to talk to Donghae and I already noticed the atmosphere, tense and more uncomfortable than it has ever been whenever I was around JaeJoong.

"Yuna yah~"

The sudden call for my name made my entire body freeze.

Donghae stood there, looking at me worriedly, as if he was afraid of me collapsing any minute

"Donghae" I mumbled

"Gwenchana? You've been out here for a long time.. and the waiter..."

"Oh.. r r right..."

I nodded and closed my eyes for a brief second before taking a deep breath.

I just had to endure the evening, that was the best thing I could do for now. I knew I wouldn't get any questions answered this evening, JaeJoong would be ignoring me and I would just have to endure it. He said that he was going to give me time until I had spoken to Donghae but how come I couldn't even find the courage to do so?

I looked up at Donghae and kept just looking at him without saying a word as he was curiously looking back at me.

Was it because of me, being afraid of the truth? If JaeJoong now was right, what would happen to our friendship? And if... Jae was wrong, I would have caused a big mess, not only for wavering, not trusting him but also accuse him for destroying our friendship when I was the one who was doing it.

The dilemma was not only choking me whole, I started to realize how exhausting this was. Just thinking about it made me feel emotionally exhausted and not only exhausted, I felt like dying as well. This is not what I want.. and..this was the last thing that I  needed

~JaeJoong~

-------------------------

"Jae..."

"Hmm?"

I kept looking at the menu but I wasn't reading it. I was trying to hold back the anger that was boiling, feeling like to erupt any minute now.

This is not what I had planned for the night. Not only did YeJin remind me of my promise to her about us having dinner, meeting Yuna here WITH Donghae was more than enough to destroy the day of mine already. I had only looked forward to go home tonight, to see Yuna because at least being in the same room as her was enough at the moment since that was the only thing that I allowed myself to do but a promise is a promise but ... seeing both of them here.. THAT couldn't have made this day any better

"Have you decided yet?" She asked

"No" I said shortly

"Hmm.. I wonder what's taking them so long.. I'm starving" YeJin said bored

I rolled my eyes

Well she was right in that point. Yuna had been gone for 20 minutes already and already after a minute my desire of running after her appeared, I could not do so and when Donghae finally realized that she has been gone far too long, he went outside and even after 20 minutes, they haven't arrived yet.

"I want to order" YeJin said irritated

"Don't" I smashed the menu down on the table

YeJin looked at me with a surprised expression

"Wait here, I'll get them back" I said annoyed

I was more than curious to know what was taking them so long and I was trying, literally forcing me to hold back the speed of walking since I didn't want to seem to rush outside

I stepped outside and a little bit further I saw Donghae standing in front of Yuna, having a distance between them though but from what I could see, no words were being exchanged

Determined I walked closer, decided to drag both of them inside since we were here for a purpose, to eat, and I could not care less about whatever Donghae was doing with her right now. I'd rather have them eating with me to see what they were doing instead of both of us eating separately and I would wonder all night long what they were doing

"Are you done yet?" I said loudly, a bit annoyed perhaps

None of this were directed against Yuna since I only looked at Donghae so I was praying at the bottom of my heart that Yuna wouldn't take all of this and blame herself

"Oh.. JaeJoong" Yuna stammered

"How impolite of you to interrupt" Donghae said annoyed and spun around to face me

I raised an eyebrow

"First of all, since all of us agreed on having dinner together, you should at least gone out to get her inside"

"What?" Donghae said angrily

"She's cold and having the waiter waiting for us is showing them no respect, walking back and forth is pretty careless and disrespectful to the restaurants. If you can't bring Yuna inside, then you shouldn't have gone in the first place"

Angrily I stepped my way over to where Yuna was standing and even if it looked roughly to Donghae, I was grabbing Yuna carefully, pulling her closer and I took off jacket and wrapped it around her before intertwining my fingers with her and taking her inside, as I softly caressed her hand with my thumb

I heard her gasp, and I knew that this evening would probably be hard for her but there was nothing I could do now but to help her endure it

I looked forward during our walk inside, not caring about the people inside the restaurant glancing at us through the windows, leaving Donghae behind. Yuna followed me quietly but I could feel her throwing glances at Donghae

"I know this is hard for you... but.. we will just have to endure it.. Together" I whispered quietly, my head still looking at the front while walking
