She gasped, fearing the worst has happened. Biting her lip in embarrassment , she couldn’t help but feel somewhat secure and protective.  Looking at his sleeping face for a second, he looked cute. The sun hit his face softly, showing the structure of his face. Suddenly, he snored for a bit before calming down. She sneered at his sleeping habits. But back to her situation, she pushed him softly.

    “Ten more minutes,” he groaned in his sleep. 

    Yoona scoffed, hitting his arm," Yah! What's happened here?"

    He jerks up quickly, rubbing his arm,"huh?"

    “Did something happen here?” She started to hit her head to remember. But nothing came up.

    Opening his eyes to the scene, he shook his head,"I dont think so. Nothing happen. Ow.."

    "what's wrong?” She bit her lip concerned for his well-being.

    "My arm is numb from you sleeping on it,” He teased as he punched his arm," It's gonna take a while for my arm to come alive again. 

    "What happened here?" she said holding her throbbing head," Did I drink that much?"

    He nodded as he sat up to look at the mess in the living room.

    "You even ordered the beer by yourself,” he chuckled to lighten up the mood.

    “Really?” she sighed to herself, realizing her habit of drinking, “Did I-did I... Say anything stupid?"

    “Uh…no,” he lied, shaking his head. It would best if she didn’t know. She would be quite embarrassed.

    "Nothing at all? Thats weird..”, she muttered to herself. Her drinking habits were more than unusual, she tended to tell the world all her secrets and perhaps a bit of the secrets told by others. She would often start to be loud and try to have a party.

    "Whats weird?” He leaned forward to hear her soft whispers to herself.

    "Oh nothing,” she replied sheepishly with a smile as she quickly stood up. 

    "You can go ahead. I'll clean it for you,” he wiped his heavy eyes. Donghae was still feeling the after effects of drinking. 

    “I wasn't planning to clean. I was going to make breakfast like I promised.” She walked into the kitchen and opened the cabinets looking for a pan.

    He laid back down,"You are different from all the others. "

    "I think I'm like everyone else,”  she replied taking out a pan and a carton of eggs. 

    "But you aren’t,” he replied as he hit his numbing arm.

    “Whatever. Let’s get the place cleaned,” she shouted at him with smile. An smile with evil intentions behind it. He sighed laying on the ground as he could feel the fifth of all the cans touch him.

    Donghae began to get up from his position and grabbed a garbage bag from the kitchen while Yoona made him scrambled eggs. It was simple yet something she had learned to do for a while and something she wanted to show off since she barely cooked for anyone else but herself. As she cracked egg, she whisked it in a small bowl splashing a bit of pepper and salt in it. Although he smelled the aroma, he wasn’t staring the food. He stopped what he was doing to stare at how she was cooking and how graceful she was doing it. 

    Yoona turned slightly, and their eyes met for a second. Donghae awkwardly coughed and went back to picking the empty cans of beer laying about on the floor. Yoona looked at him confused. After she finished cooking her eggs, she turned off the stove. Looking for a plate, her eyes went toward a cabinet a bit too high for her.

    “I can’t get this—,” she began requesting for help.

    “Here.”, He said hovering over her, grabbing the plate off the top shelf.

    Yoona froze in place, unable to move or else she would inch closer to him. He handed the plate to her, to which she nervously grabbed and wen back to cooking. Donghae smiled slightly and went back to his chore. Yoona slid the egg onto the plate and set it onto the dining room table. She also poured a glass of orange juice and then poked Donghae’s back.

    “Yeah?” he replied as he finished washing the hardwood floors with a towel.

    “Breakfast is served,” she said showing him the way with a coy smile on her face.         He stopped what he was doing, and went into the kitchen. Sitting down and looking at the breakfast, he gave out a smile. it was a steamy, warm breakfast. Something he hasn’t had for a while since he lost his mother and his heart wasn’t content with any girl. They were only for his money or his looks. Looking at the slightly messed up egg, he couldn’t help but feel joy in his heart. 

    “Do you like it?” She watched his reaction.     I hope he likes it. Did I not cook it right? Is it fried enough?

    “It’s so simple,” He commented trying to since she was trying to see his reaction.

    “I made it. It’s my very first creation.”

    Suddenly, the door rang and Yoona opened the door. To her surprise, it was a man sorrowfully smiling at her. It was Eunhyuk. 

    “Yoona. Hello,” He smiled and barely waved at her.

    “Eunhyuk… What are you doing here?” She returned the smile.

    With one swift move, he pulled her in for a hug. It caught Yoona in surprise as well as Donghae who couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

    “Why are you doing this Eunhyuk?” she asked flabbergasted as she tried to move away from his sudden embrace. 

    “Just hold on for one second,” he replied closing his eyes as he held her in his arms.

    For a second, she knew what Eunhyuk was going through. She could feel his abnormal heartbeat and the deep breathing. It wasn’t just pain, but rather the destruction the pain left him and how he never seemed to recover from it all. He was hurting more than she was and there was no one he could rely to feel the same. 

    Donghae dropped the fork in his hand, making it clang against the plate. His eyes lowered at the sight of his best friend and roommate hugging so suddenly. And like that, his appetite dropped. He stood up, and walked toward the two. Yoona, who saw Donghae with a feign smile, pushed Eunhyuk away.

    “What’s going on?” Donghae asked, worried for his friend. Why did Eunhyuk come to his hotel this early in the day?

    “Sorry, I just needed someone to listen or understand.”, He regained his composure.

    “So… you hug me?”

    “Yoona. I hope this isn’t a misunderstanding. it’s just…”

    “I get it. It’s always been like that… hasn’t it been for six years?”, She said backing away, remembering Hyoyeon and Eunhyuk’s happy time.

    At that moment, Donghae realized that Eunhyuk just needed closure or someone to comfort him. He looked at his best friend’s red eyes from being unable to sleep or stop thinking of his lost love. Yoona sighed at the look at her best friend’s boyfriend dying right in front of her. Donghae grabbed hold of his best friend’s free arm and dragged him to the couch.

    “Are you alright?”, He hugged him for a second.

    “Donghae, to the tell the truth. No,” Eunhyuk broke down. Tears fell from his eyes and onto his lap.

    Yoona went to the kitchen finding her egg uneaten. She sighed unable to comprehend what was going on. She grabbed a glass of water and went to Eunhyuk.

    “Thanks,” He grabbed the glass of water and drank it in one shot.

    “Now, tell us. Why are you like this?”

    “I can’t seem to forget her. I think I won’t be able to. Every time I do, everything starts to become a memory that I did with her,” He sighed as he wiped his tears away.

    “Listen, why don’t you hang with us? You are constantly at work and always reminded about her whenever you have free time. Hang with us, we will help you,” Yoona suggested as he grabbed the empty glass.

    “Yeah, we will become your pals to erase and start your life anew,” Donghae agreed for the sake of his friend.

    “Thanks, I can’t believe you guys would do such a thing,” He smiled as he laid back onto the couch. He closed his eyes and then snores started to come out of him.

    Both Donghae and Yoona looked at each other with surprise.

    “He fell asleep already?” she chuckled at the snoring man as Donghae nodded his head.

    “He must have felt tired from staying up all night from work and stress. I feel bad. He shouldn’t sleep out here,” he said staring at his friend.

    “He can sleep in my bed. I can sleep out here,” she said pointing to her room.

    “No. I can’t let you sacrifice your room like that. I’ll drag him to my room,” he said crouching down.

    “What’s happening right now?” She asked distorted from the random happenings in the morning from her drunken night to Eunhyuk’s sudden appearance.

    “Pull him on my back.”

    Yoona nodded and followed his instructions. She pulled on Eunhyuk’s arms fi
