Breaking the Broken (1/1)

An update o.o*le sigh* my life is too depressing rn, not explaining. hope you enjoy my miseryWord Count: 2,995   The rest of the day was pretty uneventful to say the least and Hyukjae was glad for that. It gave him time to think of the millions of ways he could kill a certain brunette devil and come away unscathed.He was now sitting in the bright yellow school bus looking out of the window lost in his own thoughts as the vibration of the seat slowly lulled him into an almost drone type of state, not really sleeping but not really awake either, just lost in monotonous thoughts.He felt a presence next to him but seeing as they were now at the lower school for the elementary kids he just figured it was his younger brother. “Hey, can I ask you a question?” A feminine voice asked softly next to him causing the red head to turn his attention warily toward it, that was definitely not his brother. Instead, a girl with dyed blonde hair curled softly around her face. She was pretty, but certainly not Hyukjae’s type, he recognized the girl as Jessica the one with an obvious crush on Donghae, at least obvious to Hyukjae since he wasn’t as dense as the people in his grade.The red head shrugged not really saying yes or no. “Uhm, well-” She really didn’t get to finish when Kibum walked up to them furrowing his brows in confusion as if asking ‘What is she doing here?’ The blonde girl turned around pouting up at the standing boy. “Is it ok if you can sit up front? I wanna talk to him please.” She flashed him pleading eyes to which Kibum just shrugged and complied silently sitting up front with the rest of the kids his age.The girl then turned back to face Hyukjae speaking in a low voice as if she didn‘t want anyone to hear her. “Well, I heard Sungmin and Donghae were dating, I just wanted to know if it was true..” She trailed off looking down with a light almost invisible blush spreading across her face, though Hyukjae immediately noticed.There was a pause and the blonde girl began to fiddle with her fingers biting her lower lip nervously. “You like him don’t you?” Hyukjae finally stated in a low voice, he caught on that she didn’t want anyone to know she was asking but he wanted her to know that he knew why.Her eyes immediately widened at that, she became a bit flustered spluttering for a second before she shook her head furiously. “A-Annii~ I’m just curious.” At this Hyukjae chuckled a bit shaking his head slightly. “You really don’t have to hide it, I know. I won’t tell, I’ve already kept it all this time.” He admitted with a slight smile trying to add some comfort but then he just realized he probably sounded like a stalker, he mentally face palmed cursing to himself at that slip up.“What?” Her eyes widened even more ( if possible ) “a-am I that obvious?” She looked concerned completely missing the stalkerish sentence that was said before making the red head mentally sigh of relief.“Actually, not really. I just notice these things a lot easier. I’ve noticed since the beginning of the year actually.” The red head shrugged being completely honest, he was never one to hide things like that, it wasn’t that personal to keep anyways. “Oh~” She pursed her lips to the side a bit. “So what do you think of them then? Are they really dating?” She asked looking at him as if she were about to break, it was pretty obvious she had a crush on the guy for a while but never came clean about her feelings.“Yea, they’re dating.” Hyukjae confirmed bluntly, he was also never one to sugar coat anything, he was blunt, it was better that way. “I give them a week at best.” He ended seeing the expression of the girl changing from a sad one to a slightly happy one to one of confusion. “Why do you say that?” She tilted her head furrowing her eyebrows.Hyukjae shrugged not really wanting to tell her. “Ah~ my stop, I gotta get off now. See ya.” He salute waved grabbing his things squeezing past the blonde girl going down the narrow aisle down the stairs and onto the sidewalk. His rear was starting to hurt, it was about time to take another pain killer but he had to eat first so he quickly started in the direction of his house, his brother silently walking beside him.After a few minutes they reached the door, and Hyukjae wanted nothing more than to take his pills and sleep the rest of the day away. He was getting his keys from his bag when he heard his brothers voice from behind him. “Oh, I forgot to tell you, Mom said we’re having company today, apparently one of your friends stopped by the yesterday but since you weren’t home he said he’d come by today.”Hyukjae raised his brows thinking who it could be as he opened the door to the house letting his brother pass him so he could lock the door behind him. He could already hear the voice of his mother in the living room, probably on the couch, as she talked in a kind voice. ‘I guess they’re already here’ His mother almost had two faces, she was a bitchy, selfish diva in front of her children but to everyone else she was the kindest person thinking of others first.Hyukjae sighed before walking into the kitchen finding a small snack to munch on wondering just which friend actually thought to visit him, he really could use a friend right now. “Eunhyuk, what took you so long? You’re friend has been here since school ended.” Heechul scolded the red head. Yeah, it was always others before her own children.“Well, sorry the bus was late.” Hyukjae rolled his eyes dramatically at his mothers voice finishing his snack with just a few quite large bites. “Stop justifying, I can’t believe you even have friends as good as this with the way you treat them.” The red head could only roll his eyes dramatically as he grabbed a water bottle quickly swallowing down a few pain killers before walking into the living room freezing immediately as soon as he saw the ‘friend’.“Yeah, how could you treat your friend this way?” He smirked at the red head looking a bit amused. Hyukjae’s jaw clenched as his eyes began to burn, the pit of his stomach churning in an unpleasant way. Junsu.“Well, now that you’re here, I can finally do my arons.” Heechul said in a delighted tone as she clapped a bit to herself. “Make sure not to make a mess ok? Kibum hurry up or we’re going to be late!” She yelled through the hallway coming back out while dragging a frumpy looking Kibum.“W-Where are you going?” Hyukjae asked with wide eyes pointing at his younger brother mentally asking why he had to leave too. “Oh, Bum
