It had been a week since Donghyuck's last outlash. A whole week had gone by. He was happy, but there was always a bad ending to a good thing.

"This is fucking stupid. Who the hell do you think you are that you can touch me like that?"

Heejin rolled her eyes at Donghyuck. He was standing in front of her, holding her arms at her sides.

"I'm Heejin. I'm the one of the only people who actually fucking respects you." Heejin barked.

Donghyuck's expression faultered. He and Heejin were sitting on the couch and Heejin had accidently brought her hand up and hit Donghyuck in the face. She had stood up as quickly as possible, trying to give him space and avoid an outlash, but it didn't work.

"You're right. I'm a nobody. I don't even have a name." Donghyuck said, his voice low at the end.

Heejin furrowed her eyebrows. "But your name is Donghyuck."

Donghyuck shook his head. "The other side of me is Donghyuck. I'm not him."

"Then why don't we give you a name?" Heejin suggested. "Haechan."

Donghyuck smiled slightly. "I think I like that."

"Good. You're Haechan." Heejin said. "Will you let go of me now?"

Haechan sighed and relucantly let go. "You're not off the hook for hitting me."

"I know, I know. But just forget about it. I won't do it again." Heejin assured, pushing past Haechan and sitting back down on the couch.

Haechan looked at Heejin with confusion. "Just like that? You're satisfied?"

"You're not trying to set the whole world on fire, so what do I have to be unsatisfied about?" Heejin replied, changing the channel on the tv.

Haechan scoffed. "Maybe the fact that I'm not your happy Donghyuck."

Heejin shrugged. "I don't care. He'll come back eventually. It's fine."

Haechan was confused. Usually, people are scared of him or they try to change him back. Heejin has tried to change him back before, but she wasn't this time. She was just sitting back and waiting for him to change back.

"I could always use this time to get to know Haechan. I know Donghyuck, but I don't know Haechan." Heejin suggested, crossing her arms.

Haechan sat down on the couch and wrapped his arms around Heejin. She knew Haechan wouldn't do that. Something was definitely different.

"Donghyuck?" Heejin questioned, letting one arm fall around his shoulders.

"I'm here." Donghyuck whispered into Heejin's shirt.

Heejin smiled and pulled him closer. It didn't bother her to have Haechan, but she had to admit, she liked Donghyuck much better.

"I like you." Donghyuck blurted. "A lot."

Heejin's heart fluttered. "I like you too, Donghyuck."

"And I'm sorry that I'm the way that I am." Donghyuck continued. "I wish I could say that I'll try to be better, but I can't help it."

"I know. It's okay. You don't have to be sorry for who you are." Heejin assured, running a hand through his hair.

"I appreciate you." Donghyuck added. "I appreciate you so much. You aren't scared of me. You don't act like I'm a helpless case. You see me for who I am on the inside. Deep inside."

"You don't deserve to be mistreated for something you can't fix or change. It's not your fault your body has two different personalities." Heejin comforted. She hated the way people would treat Donghyuck for something he can't control.

The two sat in silence for awhile, watching the tv in front of them. Heejin thought it was weird, Donghyuck confessing to her like that. He said he likes her and then moved on to a new subject. It was strange to her. She told him her feelings, but she had moved on to a new subject, too.

She knew he wasn't good at expressing his feelings. He had expressed his feelings, but in a different way. All in all, any form of expression from Donghyuck was a win in her book.
