Eunhyuk sat beside Donghae and hugged him.

“It hurts...so much…”

Without saying a word, Eunhyuk just listened to his friend, who is in great pain and sorrow.

"I don’t think I could last another minute knowing that she hates me…”

“She doesn’t…” Eunhyuk comfortingly said.

“Hyukkie…it hurts everywhere…”

His cry can be heard all over the apartment, and his worried friends are knocking at the door.

“Hae-ah! Hyukkie-ah! Open the door!” Leeteuk called.

Kyuhyun finally went to them and told them everything between Donghae and Karin.

“So, she was the reason behind his smile…” Leeteuk said.

“And his sudden change...” Kangin added.

“Karin is a very nice girl...can’t blame him for falling in love with her…both must be hurting right now…” Hankyung said.

“Let’s try to make it easier for him...he needs us now more than ever...” Leeteuk told the other members.

After some time, the sobbing stopped. Donghae had cried himself to sleep.

The next day, Karin got up early, not having enough sleep as well. She was still thinking about Fishy and Donghae being the same person. Why did you lie to me? Aaahhh!

She busied herself that morning, to keep her thoughts away from him.

She was eating alone in the canteen when Jin came rushing towards her.

“Ka-rin!!” He shouted on top of his lungs.

She coolly greeted her friend, trying to hide her sadness, “so, how was yesterday with shin and her family?”

“How should I start?” he was giggling. “Shin said ‘yes’!!”

He then told her a detailed account of what happened yesterday with Shin, and Karin just enjoyed watching and listening to her friend. Having Jin beside her lightened her mood. Thanks Jin...

Super Junior has a tight schedule that day, yet, even though how busy and tired he was, he couldn’t get Karin out of his mind. He could see her smile at him and call his name.

“Fishy... “ “Fishy!” “..Fi-shy...” “Ya! Fishy!”

“Fishy, you are spacing out again...what’s wrong?”

“Hey, look! I got you something...”

What am I doing? Donghae! You can’t let her go. You can’t give up just yet!

Donghae started sending Karin messages, while Karin just read all of them without replying.

How do I know if I can trust you?

Please answer back, Karin...

Jin barged in her apartment, “Ka-rin!”

“You have such impeccable timing. Dinner is served,” Karin said as she sat in one of the chairs in the dining room.

“Oh...” Jin scratched the back of his head and bowed, “Sooorrryyy! I should have told you earlier.”

“Oh...it’s okay...you two have a date...” 

“I’ll make it up to you,” Jin said still apologetic.

“Whatever you say...just go there and don’t keep a girl waiting!” Karin does not want her friend to feel guilty. That’s just how she is.

Jin was about to leave when he remembered the reason why he went there in the first place. “Karin!” he said in a loud voice as he stepped closer to her again.

“What?”

“Why didn’t you tell me you went to Suju’s dorm and played in front of them?!”

“Oh...I forgot...” she made an excuse.

“How can you forget a major thing like that?! It was our dream come true!”

“Calm down, Jin. You were so happy earlier that I didn’t get a chance to tell you.”

“Oh...sorry...but, next time they invite you, take me!”

She just laughed and said, “Ok, ok...Jin, I think you should go now...you still have a date.”

“Right!” Jin finally went out the door, but stuck his head inside again and said, “Tell me everything when I come back!”

“Go now!” Karin said laughing.

Her mood changed a few moments later, as the whole apartment was engulfed in silence. She stared at the food served in the dining table and said, “Now, what will I do with you? I shouldn’t have cooked a lot…”

“Yuck!” Jin said in disgust, spitting the meat out of his mouth.

“Hey, I worked really hard on that,” Karin said, annoyed at his friend. She took a bite and rushed to the kitchen sink to wash . “That is awful… sorry Jin. I don’t know what went wrong”

Turning towards Donghae, she said, “Fishy, don’t eat it okay?”

However, Donghae has already stuffed his mouth. “Ahh!! Spit it out!” Karin shouted.

To their shock and utter disbelief, Donghae just swallowed everything.

“Fishy! You want to die?” Jin said earning a punch from Karin.

“You don’t have to eat it,” Karin said.

“But I want to...you made it,” Donghae replied.

Karin took his plate away but he grabbed it back, saying, “I’ll eat it.”

She just stared at him, as he finished everything in his plate. Thanks, Fishy...

A tear suddenly fell from her eye. To stop herself from thinking about him, she decided to skip dinner. After cleaning the dining area, she busied herself cleaning her room even though everything is in order. As she moved her books and things in the table, something fell. It was a hairclip.

“Ahh...why can’t I get it right?” Karin said in frustration as she put down the pencil on top of the music sheet. Jin asked her to make a new arrangement for Suju’s Neorago. She was focused on the m
