Where We Belonged To

THREE.

He has another 5 hours; just 5 more hours before he will turn to dust, or maybe gone carried by the wind, or lifted up into the air and poof! He's nowhere to be seen anymore. Truthfully, Donghae has no idea how is he going to die but what he knows is that whichever ways it will be, he is ready.

But not just yet now. Not until he got to spend his last dinner with his beloved members. His best of the best friends he has ever had in his entire lifetime, brothers that sometimes make him so annoyed he wishes he can bulldozed them. Yet still, Donghae loves them. So much and too much until his heart can't take the love anymore.

And now to see all of them gathering around at the table where Shindong has enough sense to book in private makes all emotion bursting out of Donghae's chest. The first one greeting him is none other than Heechul whom looks ready to burst into anger to the late couple but when Donghae literally throws him a deathly tight hug, Heechul is quiet. Instead, he's concern.

"Yah, why are you suddenly like this?" He asks but Donghae says nothing as he buries his head deeper into Heechul's neck, others are starting to look at him in worries.

"Donghae, are you alright?" Leeteuk is standing by the end of the table, making rooms for all the dishes to fit with Shindong and Yesung's help. The younger doesn't reply, he is silence and nobody even knows if he's crying or not.

Kyuhyun looks over to Hyukjae standing beside him. "Hyung, did you do anything to him?" Kyuhyun asks accusingly which Hyukjae quickly denies. "Why would you think I did anything?" Sighing as Hyukjae looks over Heechul who's trying to pry Donghae off from him. When the older has succeeded, everyone can see the red over Donghae's eyes. When Heechul asks if he's crying, he shakes his head with a bright smile on his face. There it is again Hyukjae thoughts; those big smile that never reaches his ears and how much he wishes he could just force the answer from Donghae.

Because Hyukjae isn't a fool, he knows something is definitely wrong with Donghae even without the latter telling him anything. He will always know but he won't possibly pressure him. Donghae hates that the most. So he just keeps silence, sending glances to a worried Leeteuk by the far end of the table while everyone watches Donghae acting so weird.

And this is probably the 100th times Hyukjae has been thinking; is something really bad bothering him?

Few minutes later everybody starts filling in the room—typical of Suju, they've never been early to dinner. Ryeowook and Kyuhyun arrived at the same time complaining about rush hours, Kangin also makes it and surprisingly there is Sungmin too. Siwon arrives 30 minutes later when everybody is threatening him on chatroom to start eating without him. It's obvious the man has just gotten here from the airport.

"Uri Masi is leaping from countries to countries nowadays." Shindong jokes as the dishes are served.

"Well, anything for Donghae." Siwon fist bump the man before his hand resting on Donghae's thigh who's sitting right next beside him. It's not a secret to everybody present that he is absolutely worried about the other. His eyes tell them everything.

"Is there anything special for us to have dinner together, hyung?" Ryeowook asks Donghae with so much curiosity. Because all of a sudden receiving call from Leeteuk saying they will have a dinner with half of them presented is surely very surprising. Until now he doesn't know the reason.

Donghae smiles again while his eyes travel to each one of his members. At this point, Hyukjae feels like throwing all those plates right on the floor and demands answer from him. Donghae is acting so weird and now even Heechul is sending him eye signal asking him what has happened. But Hyukjae couldn't possibly answer him. He doesn't know. All of them just watch Donghae putting down his glass of wine and giving the brightest smile he could have ever given.
