"You should really talk to Donghae sometime instead of just staring at him like that." Sungmin pressed nonchalantly, trying hard not to make it sound like he shipped them.

Because in reality, he did.

"I always tell myself I will." Hyukjae began, remembering the past 50 times in which his mouth opened and closed in front of Donghae's confused eyes; Hyukjae was nothing less than a blubbering mess when it came to Donghae. "But it always goes bad."

Hyukjae knew because he stared at Donghae with Kyuhyun that entire period.

"You've gotta do something about this, Hyuk." Sungmin added.

Hyukjae wanted to laugh.
