TRUTH OR DARE? - l.dh

xii.

Donghyuck doesnt even go anywhere that would remind him of you, he doesnt want to. Hes been sleeping back at his dorm with the rest of his roommates, isolating himself in his room, thinking of every moment that led to yoru supposed break up.

HIs roommates each tried to cheer him up, thinking it was an actual breakup. Somehow, the fact that it wasnt even real hurt him even more. He was expecting this, why did it still hurt?

Even Renjun tried to cheer him up, but just the sight of the camera in his hands reminds him of the day you wanted to help them with a video. That day was probably the day he fell completely in love. He doesnt want his Michael Jackson hoodie back. Strangely, you dont want it either.

Even if Donghyuck was away from home, he didnt feel like it. You can take the man out of the home, but not the home out of the man. Mainly because Sungmin and their grandmother wanted to come see what his dorm looks like. Minnie especially likes Jaemins bed, full of plushies.

Donghyuck sighs and watches as his little sister starts jumping up and down his bed, ignoring the growing pain at the back of his head when the bounces of his little sister cause his head to clash with the headboard of his bed. Instead, he relishes the sound of her laughter, the sight of her smile, just before shes gone and he doesnt get to see her for how many weeks. Even if he wasnt happy, that doesnt mean his sister has to either.

"Wheres Y/n?" She suddenly blurts as she crawls next to her brother and sprawls herself over his legs. Donghyuck almost doesnt have the heart to break it to her that youve broken up, her breathless giggles holding and tugging gently on his heart.

"Well," He mumbles, tucking the messy strands of hairs behind her ear, "I dont particularly think well be seeing her."

"What? Why not?" Sungmin sits up with a frown curling her lips down. Its not like her usual pout when their parents refuse to get her the apple juice she wants, but its a lot more worried, which Donghyuck didnt even know she could really feel.

"Well we broke up." Theres no other better way to tell her than that.

Though, she looks pretty perplexed, scratching her head and messing up the hair Donghyuck thought he already fixed. "I thought you guys were finally dating after that night."

"What? Minnie, we have been dating since the beginning."

To his utter surprise, Sungmin shakes her head, "No, no you werent, she pokes at the lint on Donghyucks sweatpants, you still had the deal and all."

Confusion, frustration, shock, a whole wave of emotions hits Donghyuck, and before he knows it, hes speaking a lot louder than before, "What?! You knew about the deal?!"

"Y-yeah. And by the way, you should really get it together and ask her out. Before I do it for you."

Donghyuck is speechless. Has no words. His mouth is hung open with wide eyes staring at his 9 year old sister who seemed to catch onto his scheme and had found out. He wont ask how. All he wants to ask is how you think of the relationship.

Clearly, from what you said on day thirteen, is that you clearly like him, and his family. Well, he loves you, and its pretty clear how his family adores you too, so why didnt he stop you on that day? These are the words his sister tell him in the moment, that only echo in his mind and rack around until hes completely registered it.

"Minnie, I have to do something."

"I've been wanting that for the past two weeks, Hyuckie!"

"Wait here until mom and dad pick you up, okay?"

Just like Donghyuck, his Michael Jackson hoodie is really putting you off as well. Its in the far corner of your bedroom, hanging limp by your chair. Its been there for the past week you havent seen him, although you do occasionally feel the urge to bring it with you during class. Classes start just as the fourteenth day of fake dating ended, and you dont have the urge to study and focus in class that much.
