"You're never this careful, something's fishy," Hankyung replied.
"Fishy.." Eunhyuk mumbled.
"What?"
"That's Donghae's nickname.. and he really likes seafood. This has to be perfect for him," Eunhyuk replied. He wiped his eyes before a tear was about to fall.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Donghae!" Hankyung shouted from the kitchen. "Dinner!"
Eunhyuk was on the couch watching TV, until he heard Hankyung's words. Will Donghae come out? Ji Young was at the table fixing the flowers in the vase, making sure they were as perfect as perfect could be. Eunhyuk heard a small "click" which he knew was Donghae's door opening. His eyes peered down the hallway as he caught site of a figure that he knew so well. Donghae.
Donghae trudged down the hallway and into the living room where Eunhyuk's eyes followed him. Eunhyuk sat down at the table first making sure the seat next to him was empty and reserved. Donghae paid no attention. He grabbed the first chair he saw and sat down. Unfortunately, that chair happened to be far away from the reserved one. Ji Young happily skipped over to Eunhyuk's reserved seat and made herself comfortable right then and there, totally forgetting that Eunhyuk yelled at her, leaving Eunhyuk biting his bottom lip.
-----------------------------------------------------------
It was a quiet dinner. Eunhyuk and Donghae were the ones that always blurted out random things. They'd talk about the latest news and their dates, causing Sungmin and Kyuhyun to blab about their dates. Then, it would lead to more conversations. But this time it was different. Most of the sounds were forks, spoons, and the members cracking the claws open. No one really dared bring out anything.
Heechul then started a conversation.
"You know, I was on the internet and I saw this video link, so I clicked it, and there was some weird monkey doing the hula. It was very entertaining!" Heechul stood up to show them what the monkey did.
The members laughed and Heechul felt proud. 'I am a hero' he thought. Donghae forced a smile. Eunhyuk couldn't hold in his laughter and so he started to giggle. Hearing Eunhyuk made Donghae's smile bigger.. and it wasn't being forced. The smile disappeared moments later and it all became quiet again.
Donghae was the first to leave the dinner table.
"I'm full," he said as he scooted his dish closer to the center of the table.
"You barely touched your food," Kibum said, worried.
"I'm not a fan of crabs."
Eunhyuk sure knew that was a lie. Hankyung did, too, after what Eunhyuk told him in the kitchen.
"What are you talking about?" Hankyung asked. "You love seafood."
Donghae looked at Hankyung, then the other members of Super Junior, who were just staring at him cluelessly. Then his eyes drifted over to Eunhyuk, who was looking at him with the eyes that meant "I'm really sorry." Donghae was about to sit back down until his eyes flew to the side of Eunhyuk to Ji Young. The anger came back as Donghae scrunched up his fist.
"It's just not working on me today," Donghae answered.
Eunhyuk knew that was also a lie.
-----------------------------------------------------------
After all the members left the dinner table except Eunhyuk and Hankyung, Eunhyuk got up.
"I'm going to go talk to Donghae," Eunhyuk said.
"I'll throw his food away," Hankyung added.
"No, don't, I'm going to go bring it to him."
"What?"
"Donghae does want the crab and I'm not going to be satisfied until he finishes the plate."
"Okay, I'll just heat it up in the oven."
"That's a good idea."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Eunhyuk walked down the hallway, carrying the plate of food carefully. He noticed Donghae's door was open, but no one was inside. He looked to the bathroom door which was locked and then looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
'This is the time he always takes his showers,' Eunhyuk thought.
Eunhyuk sat on the cold wooden floor and waited.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moments later, the bathroom door slowly opened, and Donghae came out with wet hair and he was in pajamas. Donghae was about to take a few steps across the hallway to his room until something caught his attention.
"What do you want?" Donghae said in a voice that was close to a whisper.
"Can I talk to you?" Eunhyuk asked.
"Not really, you should go talk to Ji Young first," Donghae replied as he stepped into his room. He was about to close the door until Eunhyuk stopped him.
"I'd rather talk to you first."
Donghae knew that Eunhyuk would stop at nothing to speak with him and even more important, he knew he did want to hear Eunhyuk's voice again.
"F-fine."
Eunhyuk got up along with the plate and they both walked into Donghae's room, Eunhyuk closing the door.
