summary: Yesung is a frustrating person in general and it has taken its toll on Ryeowook.


a/n; OKAY, WELL, THIS ISN’T THAT ANGSTY. IF IT WASN’T TOO OBVIOUS, I KIND OF MESSED THIS UP. SUPPOSEDLY, THIS IS REALLY, REALLY ANGSY BUT THEN I PUT HEECHUL IN AND EVERYTHING WENT BLAH. ALSO, THIS WAS WRITTEN MONTHS AGO, BEFORE 5JIB WAS RELEASED SO THIS WAS SET DURING THE TIME THEY WERE PREPARING FOR THE ALBUM.




It has been seventy-two months.


Or at the very least, he knew it has been that long since he found himself in love with Yesung. Initially, it was nothing, just a stupid crush on the guy. Or so he thought. But no, it was more than he thought it was. It wasn’t infatuation, he was falling for him, fast and hard, so hard that it was impossible for him to fall out of it.


In those seventy-two months, he has been unintentionally rejected two hundred and seventy-five times. He’s not dumb, he can count.


“Did it ever occur to you that he’s not just into guys so he keeps on rejecting you?” is Heechul’s harsh words. Heechul doesn’t think it’s harsh though; Ryeowook needs to have a reality check and stop hoping for something that will never happen. It may not seem like it but he has nothing but good intentions. He has heard every single complaint Ryeowook has about Yesung and frankly, it was all too much to the point that it’s getting annoying. “I know it’s upsetting but sometimes, truth hurts. Okay? So get real and suck it up.”


While Heechul is knocking some sense into Ryeowook, it’s a totally different story for Leeteuk.


“Give him some more time. I’m sure he’ll realize things soon. Don’t give up on him, okay? Love is a wonderful thing.” And Leeteuk encourages him more to fight for his love, which Heechul thinks, is really stupid.


“You shouldn’t listen to Jungsoo hyung or Heechul hyung. By or, I meant specially.” Siwon tells him when he sought for an advice. “They have different perspectives on this and the more you listen to either one of them, the more you’ll get confused. Let me give you an advice, don’t ever ask any one of us for advices. We’ll just mess things up for you. Follow your heart; it’ll know what to do. If things don’t turn out the way you want it to, then maybe it’s just not meant to happen.”


It was weird, that moment, it was the first time he had a serious conversation with Siwon.


-



He remembers the time when Yesung rejected and humiliated him on national radio.


"I've read once, but why? Why?! Why is it about the relationships between our members? Between men..oh..I don't like that!"


"Why is it always me dating Ryeowookie? Oh, I really hate that!"


"Yesungie hugged Ryeowook, then the two kissed. I was astounded!"



It was so not cool and he was depressed for some time. Well, he actually had no idea how long he was in that state, or if anyone else had noticed, or if it was worth noticing. In the end, none of those mattered.


The lead vocalist glances at his watch. Just a few more minutes.


He turns off the stove, checks the utensils, plates and such on the table and makes sure that everything is set. Just a little while more. He double checks everything and almost curses when a spoon falls down the table, but picks it up and replaces it nonetheless.


And now, he waits.


This day isn't something that special, just his birthday. It's not a requirement that people should remember it, he just wants to spend his special day with his hyungs, with him.


The door bell rings. He, with much excitement, runs to the front door and greets his members. "Welcome back, hyungs."


"What's for dinner?" Shindong's voice from behind Siwon echoes throughout the dorm and he smiles, answering the chubby man. He spares a glance at Yesung, silently hoping for a greeting, but nothing came.


"Ryeowook ah, happy birthday." Leeteuk comes up to him and gives him a hug. "I have no present though. I'm sorry, I just have no time."


He shakes his head. "I don't need presents, Jungsoo hyung. Thank you."


The others greet him with a hug. Some have presents, some don't. Yesung greets him last, no hug included. "Hey, happy birthday." he responds with a nod and a tight smile.
-


"You were expecting something, weren't you?" he jumps in surprise. Apparently, Heechul sneaked in his room for a talk. "Yah, during dinner, you couldn't keep your eyes off him."


"Hyung, stop it. What if he walks in on us? He'll hear our conversation and I'll forever be embarrassed."


Being room mates with Yesung is definitely making things harder for him.


"Oh stop being a sissy! He doesn't even know we're talking about him."


"But hyung!"


"Shut up magnae! So...tell me…"


And Heechul pesters him all night long.


-


The next day, he figures out that he's once again alone in the dorm since everyone but him has schedules (and he doesn't wanna know why). Oh, wait, no. He soon finds out that he's gonna be accompanied the whole day by none other than Yesung himself when he sees him sleeping soundly on his bed. He smiles, and gets ready to cook breakfast for them both.


"Good morning, Ryeowookie." his body tenses at the pair of arms around his waist. "What's for breakfast?"


"K-kimchi jigae. I hope it's alright with you."


"Hmm. That sounds nice." and Yesung continues to bother him; pressing his chest against Ryeowook's back, sniffing his hair, and giving him kisses on the cheek every once in a while. It was really, really disturbing.


"Jongwoon hyung, I can't...I can't really cook with you behind me."


"Oh," Yesung chuckles. "My bad."


This is why things get more frustrating for him. When they're alone, Yesung flirts with him to no end, but when the others are around, Yesung barely acknowledges him.


A few hours have passed after breakfast and they are bored out of their wits so, they settled down the couch to watch TV. Yesung once again snakes an arm around his waist and gets too comfortable cuddling with him. It doesn't surprise Ryeowook though. It's not a shock that Yesung is once again getting all lovey-dovey, that Yesung is a jerk, a bastard who constantly plays with his feelings.


The moment he feels the older male's hand under his shirt—fingers tracing his stomach slowly traveling down south, he flinches and pushes him away. He doesn't say a word and instead, he locks himself in Heechul's room - he knows he won't mind. Yesung has been touchy for the longest time but it has never gone this far.


He would be lying if he said he's not mad at Yesung. Partly, yes, but what angers him more is that he likes how the other touches him. How he would want him to touch him more. And how he would like to be moa—okay, this isn't right.


-


His eyes flutter open and he finds Heechul on his desk, busy with his laptop. "Hyung," he calls out.


Heechul shuts off the gadget and plops down his bed, just beside the eternal magnae. "You're awake. Well, duh. You've been asleep for five hours. I know you won't be here if something didn't happen. Spill it."


He sighs, clutches the pillow on his chest. "I think I overreacted."


"Don't you always?" Heechul humors but Ryeowook doesn't seem to like it. "I was kidding."


When he tells Heechul the situation, the latter laughs it off like it is some joke in which he doesn't hesitate telling him how that pisses him off. "Heechul ssi, I would have to remind you that this isn't a laughing matter. This is serious business!"


And Heechul knows that. He doesn't even know what was funny about it. "From what I understand, it seems like Jongwoon's into skinship. Why not give him what he wants? It's not like the others would be suspicious about it." Like duh, they all know you have a thing for him. He wants to add but decides against it. Secrets are fun.


Ryeowook decides that his hyung is right. If Yesung wants to be touchy, then so be it. He's not completely confident about it but he might as well give it a try.


                                                                                                       -



His schedule-less days are over and jam packed days are coming his—their way as they prepare for Super Show 4. It hasn’t been long since they released their fifth album and as always, they’re doing so well. A photoshoot for their upcoming concert is the first on their schedule and he’s in the dressing room as six of his members are currently shooting.


The door opens and Yesung comes in. “Oh, hyung. Where are the others?” Acting like everything’s cool isn’t as easy as it seems.


“Heechul hyung’s on the phone, Hyukjae and Donghae are doing who-knows-what, Siwon’s somewhere reading something and Kibum’s boring himself in a corner, watching the others.” He plops down the couch just beside Ryeowook. Ryeowook wonders how he, Yesung, could easily forget the incident.


“Jongwoon hyung,” although not the best time to talk about it, he wants to get it over and done with. Siwon told him to follow his heart and his heart told him to just go and confront Yesung and so he does. When Yesung looks at him with a questioning look, his heart thumps wildly and he chickens out. “Uhm...a-are you thirsty? ‘Cause I am and I’ll get you something to drink if you like.” And he babbles on, which is pretty lame.


He stumbles out the room and comes back with two bottles of water and Kibum. He gives Yesung one bottle and gulps down the contents of the other. “How much longer are we gonna wait?” Yesung asks and both the younger ones shrug their shoulders.


“Maybe two hours max. Jungsoo hyung’s struggling for a reason I do not know.” answers Kibum, cuddling with Ryeowook on the couch. “Oh, Ryeowook hyung, there’s this restaurant a friend of mine just opened and he’s inviting me for dinner this weekend. He said I could bring a friend and since you and food are just inseparable, I thought I’d bring you along.”


A grin breaks out Ryeowook’s face and he nods furiously. “Oh, that’s great!”


Kibum smiles in content and puts an arm around Ryeowook’s waist and he catches a glare Yesung sends him. Interesting, he thinks. He knows he triggered something, and he’s more than willing to find out what that is.


“You’re never here, Kibum. No wonder you don’t know what’s happening around here.” Heechul tells him. He doesn’t get offended though. “Our little boy Ryeowook is crushing on a certain turtle boy.”


“You mean he—“


“Go. Shout it out and see how you’ll screw things up.” Kibum rolls his eyes at the older male but shuts up anyway.


-


The next few days, Ryeowook notices how Kibum has been following him like a puppy. It bothers him, seriously. Sometimes he thinks that the younger one might be having a crush on him, but Kibum doesn’t seem to like guys, romantically speaking. So he drops the thought off.


"Maybe Kibum likes you?" Heechul muses. "Or he just missed you too much." Ryeowook rolls his eyes at the older male and sighs.


"Whatever it is that he's trying to do, he should stop. I don't like Jongwoon hyung to get the wrong idea."


"What idea are you talking about? He doesn't even look at you." Harsh, he thinks. But it was true. "Kid, stop stressing yourself out with your love life. Focus on your career or else you'll lose everything you worked hard for." He considers Heechul's words but he's not the one to give up easily.


-


Ryeowook is having his much-needed alone time with Yesung when Kibum comes waltzing into the living room, squishing himself between the two members. "Hyung, you left your shirt in my room." Ryeowook knows those words are directed to him and he tenses up, silently praying that Kibum would shut up.


"I'll get it...later." he says, cursing himself for showing Kibum his newly bought shirts. He stands up and briskly walks to the kitchen for some drink. Is it him or it suddenly got hot in the dorm?


He opens the fridge and finds a carton of strawberry milk. He knows he would receive a lecture from Donghae for taking Hyukjae’s milk but he's gonna replace it even before either of the two would notice the missing milk. "It's you and Kibum now, huh?" he chokes on his drink as he recognizes the deep voice he loves so much. "Since when?"


All he could do is stare at the older one, not knowing how to respond. So he settles for shaking his head. Maybe that's an answer enough. His grip on the carton tightens as Yesung takes a step forward, inching closer towards him. He uses the small carton of milk as a shield between him and Yesung, holding it near his chest.


For real, he took Heechul's words and focused on his career. His love life is constantly making him upset that he sometimes find it hard to concentrate on the task he's supposed to do. He messes up on recordings, he couldn't think properly when he's trying to write songs. Those are enough to get scolded by the leader.


He snaps out of his thoughts when he feels Yesung invading his personal space. The next thing he does is slam the milk on Yesung's chest. It stains his shirt, but doesn't seem to care. "What are you trying to do?" Yesung asks him. "Why? Afraid that Kibum might see us in this position?"


"Hyung, stop it. Please."


He tries to go for a tough act but the latter doesn’t seem to buy it. Yesung inches closer until Ryeowook could feel his breath on his face. The older being this close to him is making him dizzy and please, can someone get him out of here?


“You’ve been a bad boy, Ryeowook ah.” Yesung whispers, lips dangerously close to his. “Hyung’s asking you a question and yet, you ignored it.” He gives Ryeowook’s lips a lick and he smirks at the stiffened body. “Bad boys need to get punished, huh?”


No matter how Ryeowook is tempted to attack Yesung’s lips, he refrains from doing so. Yesung has to stop playing around with his feelings and he should stop letting his feelings get played around. He has gone through so much from loving Yesung and if he doesn’t reciprocate his feelings, he should learn how to be a man and deal with it.


“Don’t be stupid, hyung. Get out of my fucking face before I kick your balls…hard.”


To his surprise, Yesung smiles; his previous expression turning into a soft one. “I was waiting for you to say that.”


“What?”


“Look, Ryeowook ah, I was waiting for you to snap. I’m completely aware of your feelings and how you feel about me ignoring you but you’re too, no offense, weak. You need to man up a bit and I apologize for hurting you in any way. I guess I was too harsh but if you’re gonna be with me, you’ll get hurt in one way or another. I’m not saying that I am gonna hurt you but you know how things happen.”


“Hyung, I don’t get it.”


“Oh screw it! You know what, I’ll just go ahead and kiss you because I can’t stare at your lips for too long without having a taste of it.” and so Yesung does, pulling Ryeowook closer as he rapes his mouth.


What he meant was exactly just that. He’s not a perfect man. Given that he messes up a lot, if Ryeowook wants to have a future with him, he’ll have to toughen up a bit. He was finding out how badly Ryeowook wants to be with him because the guy’s still young, it might just be an infatuation and Yesung doesn’t want that. He wants a serious relationship because he isn’t getting any younger and besides, he does feel something a bit for Ryeowook.


“I still don’t get it.” the younger male says after they both pulled away, needing air.


Yesung smirks and pulls him closer, lips a few centimeters away from the other’s. “You don’t have to get it. But from now on, you are off limits. If I see Kibum acting buddy-buddy with you, you’ll never see him again. Ever.


Ryeowook nods, seemingly hypnotized from the other’s charm and lets himself get pulled towards the direction of Yesung and his shared room.

Aww crap, I watched that show where Yesung was "astounded"... if I were there I'd ask him whether he'd rather they pair him off with somebody much bigger. I'd probably get smacked. I'm sort of imagining Wook's little rejection checkbooklike the signs you see at prison walls in movies, where they count the days/months/something. 0_0

Oh Heechul, I miss him. And Lmao @ Siwon's advice... don't listen to any of us. We're all nuts. *cough*

This was cute and funny and uh.. not very angsty even though I feel like I was supposed to be sorry for Wookie... uh well, next time?

Big <3, now I shall react violently at Yesung's ebil-ness *smacks*...
