donghyuck's eyes slowly opened and he groaned loudly, stretching his arms and legs. he sighed in relief when he looked at his surroundings, being thankful that he was back in his room. he felt a sharp pain in his head when he tried to stand up and he groaned once more.
"stupid hangover," he mumbled to himself as he picked up his phone. he saw several missed calls from yukhei and decided to call him back.
"donghyuck!" yukhei's loud voice sounded from the said boy's phone. "are you feeling alright?"
"yeah, why?" donghyuck asked as he held the phone up to his ear. he was now worried that he did something stupid that he couldn't remember.
"you were pretty drunk last night. next time, i'm not going to let you drink that much." yukhei laughed as he scolded donghyuck.
"sorry, mom." the younger replied sarcastically, making both of them laugh.
"also, you said some weird stuff to me, but you probably don't remember it. you were saying how much you missed mark and how much you wanted to kiss him again." yukhei's personality turned serious as he told donghyuck of last night's events.
donghyuck could feel his heart beating rapidly and his mouth went dry. he couldn't believe he let himself get drunk and he spilled out some of his deepest secrets to yukhei. yukhei could tell the whole school and he would lose his friends and be bullied. mark could even be bullied again.
"you said you wanted to kiss mark again." yukhei continued. he could sense how uncomfortable donghyuck was even though they were just talking over the phone. "have you guys kissed before?"
"yes."
silence was heard from the older boy's end of the line. the tension between the two was unbearable and donghyuck sighed. he decided he would just tell yukhei everything that happened between him and mark.
"when we were younger, we were best friends. mark always fell because he was stupid and clumsy," donghyuck paused to laugh as he retold the story. "and i would always cheer him up by kissing him. i guess one day our moms found out and mine is a big homophobe so you know how that went. she took me out of school so i couldn't see him anymore and now here i am."
"oh."
again, silence. donghyuck's chest started to heave up and down with deep breaths. his head was pounding with stress and pain from his hangover.
"that's all?" without realizing it, donghyuck started to cry. "that's all you're going to say? aren't you going to tell me how disgusting i am? aren't you going to call me a fag and tell me to go to hell?" his voice was getting increasingly loud and he was soon shouting into his phone.
yukhei didn't know what to say. he was in shock after donghyuck just yelled at him, the usually calm and happy boy turning into a fierce and cold one. he was at a loss for words as he took in what donghyuck was saying.
"why would i tell you those things?" yukhei's voice was gentle, but it hurt donghyuck.
"because it's what i deserve to hear. it's what everyone tells me." donghyuck sobbed, his tears dripping onto his bed sheets.
"donghyuck, stop crying," yukhei's voice now held an element of panic. he'd never been in a situation like this before, he'd never been on the phone with someone screaming at him to call them names.
"just leave already."
"i'm not even homophobic, donghyuck. please stop crying now." the blond laughed slightly even though this was no laughing matter.
donghyuck dried his eyes with the back of his hand and sniffled, trying to comprehend what yukhei just told him. this was the first time that someone was okay with him wanting to kiss a boy. this was the first time that someone didn't push him away and shut him out of their life.
"tell me your address, i'm coming to pick you up." yukhei suddenly changed the mood, making it lighter. he never liked sad and depressing atmospheres, and it hurt him to hear donghyuck crying into the phone.
"why?" the younger boy questioned as got up to start getting ready. he muttered a few curse words under his breath as the pain in his head worsened when he stood up.
"we're going out for ice cream!"
sorry if there's mistakes all of this is unedited bc i'm lazy
