There's No Changing Fate

(Ch.4)

-Four-

It seemed everyone wanted to room with me the first night. Everyone except for Donghee, since he had his own room. Jungsu and Youngwoon shared a room, Heechul and Hangeng shared a room, and Sungmin and Jongwoon shared a room.

I was either rooming with Hyukjae or Donghae.

They started fighting about who would get the 'privilege' to have me sleep in their room. Jungsu got annoyed very easily though, and put an end to their bickering.

"You guys better decide on your own, or I'll make the decision for you."

That seemed to shut the two of them up. I guess Jungsu wasn't pretty when he's angry. But only five minutes later, the two started arguing again, which lead Jungsu to room me with Hyukjae, since 'his room is tidier than Donghae's and you won't slip and fall on all his stuff.'

I grabbed my suitcases and made my way to Hyukjae's room and started to unpack. I pulled a blanket and pillow out of one of the bags and proceeded to lay it flat on the floor across from Hyukjae's bed, where I was planning on sleeping.

Hyukjae walked in behind me and started chuckling. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"Making my bed? It is nighttime, you know," I replied.

"You can't be serious. The floor is freezing. And it's uncomfortable. Just sleep on the bed with me."

I was in shock. "I don't know, Hyukjae.."

"Come on. It's already late, and we have a long day of schedules ahead of us in the morning."

"Okay."

Hyukjae was right. Sleeping in the bed was far less colder than the hardwood floor. In the middle of the night though, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled my body closer to his. Now, it was exceptionally warm. Or maybe that was just me..

All I knew was that I've never felt like that before, and sleeping next to Hyukjae gave me a warm, welcoming feeling- something Donghae never gave me. I was in love with Donghae, wasn't I? Sure, I was. This night was nothing special, and it meant nothing to the both of us. Donghae was the one I loved, and the one I loved forever.

But when Hyukjae started mumbling in his sleep, words that sounded awfully close to 'Rebekah', I knew this night wasn't going to be 'nothing special' to him.

I knew I loved Donghae, but that didn't explain why I couldn't think of him at all that night. He only registered in my mind when he flew Hyukjae's door open to wake us up, and caught us sleeping in a pretty provocative position.

 "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?" he yelled, loud enough to awake all the other members and have them rush to Hyukjae's doorway.

"They totally did it," Heechul commented.

Hangeng face-palmed and wondered how he managed to get a boyfriend as straightforward as Heechul.

I lifted my head off Hyukjae's chest to come face-to-face with a very pissed off Jungsu staring me down. He tried to keep calm, but he looked like he was about to burst any minute.

"Nothing happened here, hyung. I promise," Hyukjae replied, trying to relieve the tension, but failing as Jungsu looked even more mad than before.

After a while, Jungsu looked back up from the floor he was staring at and said frankly, "I didn't think we'd have another couple in here so soon. I mean, I knew putting Hangeng and Heechul into the same room was a bad idea, and that they'd probably experiment, fuck, that's the reason I roomed with Youngwoon, but.."

"I'm pretty sure Sungmin's gotten some of Jongwoon, too, hyung. And since nothing happened here, why don't you go convict those two lovebirds," Hyukjae replied.

Hyukjae and I lied back down and tried to get a few more hours of sleep, but were interrupted by Jungsu's yells of, 'KIM JONGWOON, KEEP YOUR WHORE-MONES IN CONTROL!"

It was safe to say the first night didn't quite go as I planned, but I really didn't expect anything less since I was in a dorm with 9 boys.

A few days later at the breakfast table, Donghae approached me.

"You know all night he was moaning your name like a slut, right."

"Have you been spying on us?" I asked him.

"No, it's just that it's kinda loud, and I can kinda hear it in my room."

Great.

I couldn't think of anything to remark with, so I just stayed silent, praying that was the best thing to do in my situation.

"Why are you doing this?" Donghae asked me. "I loved you."

Fantastic.

"I love you, too, Donghae."

"No, you don't understand. I loved you- meaning I don't anymore."

My heart shattered, and Donghae walked away, leaving me to pick up the pieces.

Fucking incredible.
