Rewind five decades, and a little more. this part made me gasp a bit, because it meant that the part before was when they were old - i'm loving this so much already, gem.
that in the barely existent consciousness of his baby mind he'd cooed to Hyukjae and Hyukjae had cooed back to him, three hundred and forty kilometres away in Goyang :')
I LOVE GALBITANG
"Nobody cares that I like Blackburn Rovers," Sungmin sighs. :D OH SUNGMIN
or 0-0-10; Donghae prefers the 'all-attack' playground tactic i think i'm quoting too much shall practice restraint.
At fifteen, Hyukjae is gawky limbs and sharp elbows and muddy shoes and dorky smiles, and Donghae loves him so much it hurts. But they're just boys, and they don't know what it means to love; they find the thought icky, they prefer to play football instead. ♥
He's a big puffy bundle in his yellow bomber jacket and woollen beanie and Donghae covers Hyukjae's cheeks with his palms to warm his face, thinks suddenly that he wouldn't mind kissing Hyukjae's mouth. i love that image.
There's a faint, uncomfortable blush working its way up from Hyukjae's cheeks to his ears as he says that, a blush like a burn, and suddenly Donghae leans over the table and hugs him. Hyukjae doesn't fit very well in his arms, all bones and angles and knobs, but Donghae hugs him tighter, presses his cheek against Hyukjae's. "We'll debut together," he says into Hyukjae's ear.
"Yeah," says Hyukjae, not very enthusiastically. "You're going to knock the soup over."
"You guys are so sappy," Sungmin says. "Will you sit properly before the whole restaurant looks at us?" aw little babies. and i really like the image of donghae being so volatile.
He doesn't want to see himself. He doesn't want to know that this is him, that he can't sleep beside his best friend without getting aroused, that he's so attracted to another guy. He continues his rhythmic breathing and forces his thoughts away but nothing's working and it's still Hyukjae he sees, still Hyukjae he wants so badly to touch. His pants are down, fingers trembling to push his underwear away. He tastes tears on his lips, and he tells himself, it'll only be for this one night, just this once, and never again. hae ;_;
the explanation for hae's friendship with kibum is A+
how simple it is for things to become so complicated
He's too busy thinking that Hyukjae had been so unhappy he'd come down all the way from Goyang to apologise. He doesn't know how he'll ever be able to make up to Hyukjae for so much needless misunderstanding. He doesn't know, except that he has to stamp this desire out of himself even if he can't figure out, for the moment, how that's supposed to happen. my heart is breaking for hae.
"No," Donghae says, because he is a man of responsibility and he will never let anyone walk alone. That's the Liverpool motto and all Reds live and die by it. "Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart, and you'll never walk alone," he sings, and in front of them Hyukjae plugs his ears with his fingers, shouts back that he doesn't want to know. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
"What's in a name, anyway?"
"A Hyukjae by any other name would smell just as bad," Sungmin agrees. :DDDD
"Not that we're really saying anything worth listening to, anyway," Youngwoon yawns when Donghae tells him. "Jungsu hyung just blabbers, and I blabber when he stops blabbering."
"We have the gift of the blabber," Jungsu says. overflowing with warm fuzzies
The four of them are sitting around a table, Jungsu, Youngwoon, Hyukjae and Donghae, the 'Pearl Blue' team, discussing ideas for the 'dangerous friendship' drama when Hyukjae suddenly says, so earnestly that they stop to listen to him, "In the past, I used to like Donghae."
Donghae yells before he thinks; he's not sure what he yells, but it makes Hyukjae jump a little. AYAYAYAYAYYAYAY!
their fight, and donghae's father dying, and heechul's accident. sigh. i really like this, gem, and it's so refreshing to read something that flows so nicely and is simple and not overdone.
