The day went by pretty quickly for Donghae and Eunhyuk. They went on almost all of the rides, even some of the kids' rides (the ones they could fit in). Since they both had camera phones, they took some pictures together. They'd be able to upload them onto the computer and save them for memories. They stayed at the amusement park until around five thirty and left for the restaurant after leaving the park.
"I'm gonna pay for the food~" Donghae said in a sing-song voice as Eunhyuk drove them to the nearby restaurant.
"No! You already paid for the lunch from earlier!" Eunhyuk stated once he stopped at a red-light. He was a safe diver so he never talked while driving. He was afraid that if he did so, he would end up crashing the car.
"But that was only for cheap corn dogs!" Donghae retorted. "You already paid so much for the entrance tickets. So let me pay!"
Eunhyuk sighed and gave up. He said a simple "okay" and brought his attention to the road as soon as the light went green. He took a few turns before he finally parked the car in a parking space. "We're here~"
Donghae smiled and looked at the restaurant. "Fancy~" he said, grinning.
"Which is why I wanted to pay," Eunhyuk murmured.
"Well, too bad~" Donghae smiled innocently at Eunhyuk before getting out of the car and walking over to Eunhyuk's side to wait for him.
Eunhyuk pulled the key out of the ignition and stuffed it in his pockets before he got out of the car. He locked it up and looked to Donghae. They both exchanged smiles before walking into the restaurant together.
"Hyukkie, this feels like a date," Donghae stated, giggling a bit.
"it can be a date if you want it to be," Eunhyuk murmured shyly as soon as they were led to a booth for two and the worker had left. There was a blush on his cheeks as he looked into Donghae's eyes.
Donghae was a bit shocked when Eunhyuk said that. He hadn't expected his friend to say that. A blush crept up onto his cheeks and he smiled a bit. "Then ~ I announce this dinner as a date!" He grinned and looked back into Eunhyuk's eyes. Today was possibly his happiest day ever.
A grin spread across Eunhyuk's lips and he chuckled softly. "I was expecting you to say 'No, you weirdo', but I like the answer you just gave me better."
The two chatted for a while as they waited for a waiter or a waitress to come and take their order. Once a waitress came and asked them if they were ready to order, they both looked to her. She was a young waitress, about their age or maybe a little younger. She was smiling and seemingly trying to seduce either of the two boys.
Donghae eyed the waitress, more like glared at, in a deathly way. "Hyukkie, you order first," he said, turning his attention to Eunhyuk.
Eunhyuk nodded and looked into the menu. "I'll just have a salad," he stated. He didn't want to choose anything too expensive, since Donghae was paying.
The waitress wrote the order down. "And for you, cutie?" she asked Donghae. She earned a death glare from Eunhyuk, but she didn't really notice.
Donghae raised a brow when she called him a cutie. He shook his head at that and at that order. "Scratch that. We'll both have a plate of rice with beef-steak," he ordered.
The waitress wrote down the order. "Anything else for you too hotties? Any drinks or dessert?" She really needed to stop calling them those names. She didn't even know them enough to call them that.
Eunhyuk was getting annoyed with the waitress, but he didn't say anything about it because he didn't want to be mean. He did pout a bit though when Donghae ended up ordering something more expensive than a salad. "I'll have a glass of water," he said. He wanted water because it was free. "And don't change my order again, Hae!"
Donghae chuckled softly. "I'll have a glass of water too then," he said. He would have ordered a better drink, but since Eunhyuk didn't want him to, he decided he wouldn't. He didn't want to end up arguing with the male again.
The waitress nodded and wrote that down. "Your food and drinks will be out in a bit," she said, winking at the two before rushing the order to the kitchen and telling the cooks that they should start on it right away. She figured that if she gave them special treatment, they would like her a little more.
"Did you see the way that girl looked at us?" Donghae asked Eunhyuk a bit quietly just in case the waitress came back.
"Yeah! She's annoying me!" Eunhyuk stated. "I don't want her to be our waitress anymore…she's creepy."
Donghae laughed a bit when Eunhyuk said she was creepy. "Don't worry, Hyukkie!" he said, reaching over to lightly pinch both of Eunhyuk's cheeks. "Donghae will be here for you~" He grinned before letting go of Eunhyuk's cheeks and leaning back in his seat.
Eunhyuk blinked as his cheeks were suddenly pinched by Donghae. "You make me feel like a baby," he murmured, pouting a bit.
"Aren't you a baby?" Donghae asked, raising a brow.
"No I'm not!" Eunhyuk exclaimed, feeling offended by Donghae's statement. But he knew the male was just kidding. He was just playing along.
The two males joked around with each other like they always did as they waited for their food. This time, they joked more like a couple than a friend. They flirted with each other, though both of them thought they were just having fun when they both actually had a crush on each other without them knowing how the other felt about them. It's just another confusing love story.
After about twenty minutes, their food and drinks came out. It was a good thing the waitress from earlier was busy with other tables because they had a male waitress this time and the guy seemed more jealous of them than in like with them. That was good for them. They didn't have to worry about the male flirting with them.
"Please enjoy your meal," the waiter said, bowing and then leaving to serve all the other customers.
Eunhyuk and Donghae smiled at each other, simultaneously saying "enjoy your meal" to each other without planning it. They both chuckled at that and began to eat their meal. They chatted like two grown-ups would chat as they ate. Except….they didn't talk about all those boring things grown-up businessmen talked about. They just talked about the band and their lives. They had a lot of fun during dinner.
After about an hour of staying in the restaurant, they both finished their meals. Donghae and Eunhyuk had fought over who would pay for the meal but then Donghae had ended up running to the front desk to pay for their meal so Eunhyuk was a bit too slow.
When they were in the car, Donghae was driving this time. It was only fair since Eunhyuk had driven them both to the amusement park and from the amusement park to the restaurant. "So how did you like today, Hyukkie?" Donghae asked Eunhyuk as he drove. Unlike Eunhyuk, Donghae actually enjoyed conversations during driving. He felt awkward when he was in silence so it would be hard for him to drive if he sat in silence.
"I had a great time today, Hae," Eunhyuk replied with a smile, looking over at Donghae. "Thank you for rejecting Kyon's invitation to go out with me."
"Of course I'd do that for you Hyukkie!" Donghae replied with a gasp. "How can I not do that for my best friend? Am I that bad of a friend to you?"
"No, no, no. It's not that. It's just that…from the way you talked to her before, it looked like you kind of liked her…" Eunhyuk murmured.
"That's not even possible, Eunhyuk," Donghae mumbled. "Because I like you." The last part was a mere whisper for himself. He didn't think Eunhyuk would be able to hear that.
"Excuse me? What did you say? Sorry, I couldn't hear you," Eunhyuk said, although he kind of heard what Donghae said. He thought the male said 'because I like you', but he wasn't sure and he wanted to hear it clearer.
Donghae parked in front of their house and looked to Eunhyuk with a false confused look. "What? I didn't say anything…" he murmured.
"Oh. Okay. Sorry," Eunhyuk stated, chuckling softly as he scratched the back of his head. "I thought I heard something."
"It's okay," Donghae said with a sad smile. He got out of the car as Eunhyuk got out and walked toward the front door. He really wished he had the guts to tell Eunhyuk he liked him. He just didn't and there was really nothing that could help that.
Eunhyuk frowned a bit as he walked into the house. He had a feeling Donghae was hiding something from him but he didn't want to pressure Donghae into telling him anything. He was sure Donghae would tell him once he was ready. Collapsing onto the couch in the living room, he let out a relaxed sigh. His back had been hurting ever since they left the amusement park. He had too much fun that day.
"You should go to bed early, Hyukkie," Donghae said, sitting at the end of Eunhyuk's feet on the extra space on the couch. "You look really tired."
"I'm too lazy to walk all the way to my room," Eunhyuk said with a small laugh. "I'll go later…my back hurts too much."
"Want me to give you a massage~?" Donghae offered.
"That'd be nice!" Eunhyuk said with a grin. He took off his shirt and flipped onto his stomach so Donghae could massage him.
Donghae straddled Eunhyuk's lower back and began massaging the male as they both chatted merrily together. They talked about a lot of random things. Anything that popped up in their heads became the topic of their conversations. There were a few deep conversations they had, but they had a lot of fun talking to each other. That was how best friends were.
