Chapter 7
My Heart Curses- Kim Dong Wook
Donghae POV:
I sighed loudly; I had been sitting in Jaejoong's room for the last hour. Actually, not sitting but kneeling. This wasn't the first time I had been punished by older brother, and it most definitely would not be my last. I looked across the room, where Ryeowook had passed out on his bed. He was curled up into a small ball on a corner of the bed. He must really be tired…and not used to the large bed.
"Donghae…get up." Jaejoong sighed, he didn't even turn from his desk to look at me. I got up a bit shakily and rubbed my knees. This wasn't my fault…that stupid kid just had to say that he was angry at me for coming in without permission when Junsu said it was fine. I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for Eunhyuk. I mumbled angrily to myself as I remembered Eunhyuk glaring at me as though I had offended him or something.
It was completely outrageous…the way Jaejoong punished me because Eunhyuk said he was angry about the whole situation. It is natural for a human being to be curious…why couldn't he just accept that? I wanted to growl angrily and confront him, but I knew that would only lead me to be punished again. I looked up when there was a knock at the door. Without an answer from one of us, the door opened slightly.
"Dinner is ready." The manager said and motioned for them to come downstairs. I quickly headed to the door, but paused to wait for Jaejoong. I then realized that he was waking Ryeowook up. Then I realized why Ryeowook clung to hyung so much. I, or Micky would have overlooked our youngest brother, hyung has always been there for him. He has been there for all of us…and we took it for granted. I bowed my head a second, I wanted to say something but I didn't know what. I would never know the right words to say to him, maybe that's why I respected and feared him at the same time.
"Donghae, let's go." Jaejoong was suddenly there, gently telling him that dinner was ready once again. I glanced from hyung to Ryeowook. The boy looked a little more fragile now that I really looked at him. I smiled at him before kneeling down in front of my younger brother, my back facing towards him.
"Ryeowook-ah! Piggyback ride." I said enthusiastically. I was waiting for the light pressure on my back…but it never came.
"Stop joking around Donghae, let's eat." Jaejoong scolded me. I pouted.
"I want to give Ryeowook a ride downstairs!"
"Ryeowook, do you want a piggyback ride?" Jaejoong asked, Ryeowook looked from him to me. I thought he was going to deny it, but he slowly walked toward me and leaned against my back, his hands wrapping around my neck. I smiled and gently lifted off, making sure I grabbed his legs tightly so he wouldn't fall or be scared.
I walked down the steps. I could have gone faster, Ryeowook was very light and he didn't move a lot but I wanted him to feel safe with me.
"Ryeowook? What's wrong? Did something happen?" Micky was right there when we came down. He had decided not to go to Jaejoong's room when I had been dragged up there.
"Everything is fine, right Ryeowook? Hyung just gave you a piggyback ride, right?" I smiled and gently placed him back on his feet. He nodded sweetly before clinging back onto Jaejoong hyung. I frowned…I guess doing one thing wasn't going to change his mind on whom he wanted to be next to. I'll just have to continue…I will definitely become the best hyung to Ryeowook!
Eunhyuk POV:
After Donghae was taken away by his older brother, I bowed my head. I felt kind of guilty. I promised my brother that I would be nicer, and at the time I felt really guilty about the way I reacted and now I was feeling the same way. I slowly made my way up the stairs to the living room. My manager was in the kitchen making food, Yesung was playing with his turtle, and music was coming from the room down the hall.
I walked over to where Yesung was playing with his turtle and took a seat, watching him play with his turtle he looked happy, but I knew that he was pretty much alone. I reached into the cage and touched the turtle shell. It was hard but smooth, and it looked shiny. I've never seen a turtle's shell look that shiny before and I assumed that Yesung must take really good care of it.
"Hi hyung," Yesung said. I smiled at him and removed my hand from the box. "Is something wrong?" He asked. I looked up at him. I guess he could tell I was feeling guilty but I shook my head and smiled. Ever since seeing Donghae I was turning to be something I wasn't, a jealous person. Realizing that I had never even taken care of my younger brother or cared what he did, I didn't even know the turtles name… made me feel even guiltier.
"What's his name?" I asked. Yesung looked at me, kind of surprised.
"Ddongkkoma," Yesung replied. I smiled and looked back at the turtle. I surprisingly liked the name that Yesung picked out for the turtle. It went with how well Yesung took care of it.
"Want to learn some dance moves?" I asked him. Yesung looked even more surprised than before and I wanted to laugh at his expression. I never took the time to care about anyone in our family. Junsu and I were close, but we really didn't care about what went into each other's heads, what we thought about. We just did the things we loved together.
"Ah, sure… but I'm not very good…" Yesung replied sheepishly. I nodded, I knew that for a fact but I also knew you could always get better with practice. That's how I believe I got so good at it.
"That's ok. Let's go." I smiled and led the way to the dance room. Junsu was already dancing but he looked up when I came in with Yesung behind me.
With Junsu's help, we taught Yesung some basic dance steps and by the time dinner rolled around he was getting pretty good. Our manager knocked on the door and opened it just enough so he could peek his head in.
"Dinner is ready." He announced then left. I went to stop the music and follow my brothers out of the room.
"So we should do this every night. For atleast an hour…" I suggested to Yesung. He looked at me still with that surprised look but he smiled and nodded. I was glad and hoped that our relationship would get better. When we reached the kitchen I noticed everyone was there already. I saw Donghae by Jaejoong and Ryeowook and felt like I should go apologize but I didn't even know how to start not to mention it would be embarrassing in front of everyone and Yunho would be very upset for sure.
