"Would you mind if I ordered for us then Donghae?"

"Not at all, Eunhyuk." The man, Donghae, says emotionlessly

"I'll go and... and get that then." Eunhyuk answers, oddly stumbling up to the counter, and then returns "I just assumed you wanted choco so that's what I ordered for you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Eunhyuk mutters stiffly "How have you been?"

"Fine. You?"

"Fine as well. What's life been like for you Donghae? Did you ever end up being a dancer?"

"No, I returned home to take care of my mom and be near my family. My father passed away a few years ago."

"I'm sorry."

"It's alright, I know he's in a better place now." Donghae says, his smile lighting up his previously sullen face

"It's nice seeing you smile again. Not that..."

"I know what you're trying to say Eunhyuk."

"Yeah. What happened between us?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, we promised each other nothing would affect us, but here we are, seven years after the fact, never having tried to call the other.."

"That's not true. I called you."

"But I never got them."

"Because..." Eunhyuk draws out

"Because what?"

"Because, I'm a coward. I couldn't listen to your voice without somehow ending up crying. Why didn't you ever try calling me Donghae?"

"I did, but you changed your number. I called fifteen times and I ended up getting some phone line. What was your number?"

"55-555-5555."

"Then I did call the right one."

"Oh. Would you like my new number?"

"No t
