"Sometimes our thoughts are backed up by so much insecurity, that they create lies we believe"
-Unknown.

Eunhyuk felt his frustration level rising dangerously dance with that idiot ON STAGE?? he couldn't believe Jong had just made a stupid decision like that.

"As if I fucking WANT to!"

Donghae was good but he certainly wasn't up to the standards yet, what if he panics in the middle of the performance? The more he thought of it, the more Eunhyuk felt that Donghae would be a total disaster.
His uncontrollable anger boiled up within him.

When he got home that night, Eunhyuk switched on the table lamp; flooding his room with a dim yellow hue that casted shadows allover. Then he let out a sigh; took off his shirt, loosened his belt and finally sank onto the white sheets of his bed and stared up at the ceiling.

"No...NO! I'm just overthinking", he said aloud. "Donghae is good, he'll manage it somehow"

Eunhyuk rolled to the other side of the bed; his soft black hair cascading over his eyes, he flung one arm on top of his forehead and yelled out in frustration.

"God! I can KILL him!!! why can't you get the fuck out of my life Lee DONGHAE!!!"

Ever since the first time Donghae had snapped at him at breakfast, Eunhyuk had been feeling weird. It felt as if Donghae was challenging him. He hated the way Donghae acted cool when he ignored Eunhyuk; he was used to being fussed around by his mother and his psychiatrist, and Donghae's lack of fear threw him off.
Eunhyuk always convinced himself that everyone was beneath him, dominance was the only thing that kept him sane. Not even Heechul had the courage to talk back at him, So why him?! puzzled Eunhyuk. Donghae had just cut him off so easily, and for the first time in his life, Eunhyuk had been speechless infront of someone.

But in his heart Eunhyuk knew Donghae was talented. What's more; he was a swift learner as well; although he got yelled at times; Donghae never did the same mistake twice. He was fast enough to learn the first phase of a complex dance in just one day. Eunhyuk remembered that moment well. Donghae's movements had synchronized with him so perfectly that for a brief moment, he had forgotten himself and smiled...

and you smiled back...

Eunhyuk squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block out the image of Donghae's sincere smile. He actually liked it, no one had ever willingly smiled with him for a long time. Eunhyuk was astonished at the way Donghae looked, his face filled with trust, and gratitude. How could he give all these emotions so freely and willingly?
He was broken away from his revive when he felt a vibration from the other side of the bed, Eunhyuk put his hand back and searched until his fingers lightly touched his phone. He picked it up and saw a text from his mother.

---11.28p.m. Eunhyuk, you have a session with Dr. Watson tomorrow so make sure you go there when you can or you'll have me to answer for.---

Eunhyuk looked at the text for a long time, Then he got up and sat down at the edge of the bed. Does he have the space and time for a friend in his life? Is he ready to share his ideas and goals? or does other's feelings matter so much?, for once he felt glad to have a session with Watson.

There were a few things Hyukjae wanted to ask from the Doctor...

********

"Where the hell is Eunhyuk!?" yelled Kim Jong who had already waited 10 minutes for Eunhyuk to arrive at the class.

"I honestly don't know professor, he wasn't there in professor Rumi's class" said Donghae.

"or professor Jung Sook's class either" said Kyuhyun.

The Professor swore. "Forget it I'm starting without him and YOU!" he pointed at Donghae, "make sure he knows the steps next time he comes or else he'll know what hell is like"

"Yes sir, I will" promised Donghae bleakly. me? teach Eunhyuk? It's gonna be harder than you think he thought

"Let's start now! Everybody warm up!"

Donghae tried to hide his disappointment while he practiced. Why didn't Eunhyuk turn up? Donghae was amazed at himself, naturally he should've been glad to find out Eunhyuk wasn't there, since the guy had given him nothing but hell. But Donghae felt hollow inside; his usual enthusiasm gone. Donghae missed Eunhyuk's ability of spotting a wrong move in a blink of an eye; but most of all; he missed their team work.

Was he angry because Donghae had to dance with him? or was it because Eunhyuk was afraid that Donghae might make a foolish mistake on stage? he pondered over these questions until he heard the lunch bell ring.

By the end of the first session, Donghae was maddeningly angry; he'd received double detention for the lack of concentration. Hyukjae should know better than to cut the practice! now because of his stupid behavior Donghae had to take the responsibility for Eunhyuk's performance next Monday. It was so damn unfair! and he barely even knew how to teach to some self centered idiot like him. Donghae shook his head as he exited the classroom through the back door.

Now to find him...
