[M] Impulses (1/1)
Eunhyuk sat at the dining room table and took a drink from his coffee mug before opening up another envelope. Another reply for the wedding. His fingers were getting sore from the amount of paper cuts he had. “Is it too late to elope?” he asked his fiancé, yawning as he marked who else was attending the wedding on a notebook beside him. “Your brother would disown you,” Donghae informed him, holding Choco as he finished his breakfast. “Is that a bad thing?” Eunhyuk questioned. “I don’t want to be on his bad side,” Donghae said. “And look at how much we’ve spent on this already. It would be a shame for it to go to waste.” “We don’t know anyone else who wants to get married?” Eunhyuk asked. “They can just take over.” Donghae sighed at looked over at his longtime lover with patience. “It will be worth all the trouble on the day we’re married.” Eunhyuk nodded. “I know. I’m just tired.” “Should we take a day off from wedding planning and just do something fun instead?” Donghae suggested. “We’ve been working so hard, we deserve a day to slack off.” Eunhyuk set his pen down. “Such as?” “I don’t know. Let’s just take the car and drive off somewhere. It’s beautiful out. We’ll bring Choco and her leash and find a park. Maybe Wook will pack us a picnic lunch if we ask nice,” Donghae suggested. Eunhyuk thought this over. “Sungmin will be pissed if we skip out on our weekly wedding meeting.” “But there’s not much that has to be done at the moment. We don’t have any appointments today. If there’s anything that needs deciding, your brother can just do it for us. What do you say? We could both use a day off,” Donghae suggested. Eunhyuk jumped to his feet. “We have to hurry. He’ll be here in an hour. Leave your phone here.” Donghae smiled and stood up. “I’ll talk to Wookie about packing a lunch. You ask Kyu for the car. He’s sure to give it to us if he thinks we’re going to piss off your brother.” “See if Wookie will make those sandwiches I like,” Eunhyuk asked. Donghae nodded. He picked up his dirty plate with one hand and carried Choco under his other arm, practically skipping to the kitchen. “I feel like I’m a teenager skipping school again!” “You what?” Boa asked, covering her mouth with her hand as she sat at the table in Yunho’s kitchen, talking on her cell phone. “You heard me…don’t make me repeat myself,” Kangin said from the other end of the line. “You’re not going to disown me now, are you?” “What? No!” she said, placing her hand over her heart. “I was just surprised, that’s all. I mean…I always knew the two of you were close. I just didn’t realize that there was something beyond friendship. I’ve always liked Leeteuk. He’s such a wonderful man. If you two are happy together, then I certainly have no objection.” At this point, Yunho began to cough violently. He’d taken a drink of coffee at an unfortunate point of time in Boa’s conversation with her brother and was finally beginning to understand what the siblings were talking about. Of course, he had no clue if Boa knew her brother’s sexual orientation prior to the conversation they were currently having, but he’d had no clue. He also had no knowledge of Leeteuk’s, which made the realization all the more shocking. It even got stranger the longer he thought it over and realized that the two men had a cousin in common. Were they related themselves? No, he didn’t think so. One was from the father’s side, the other from Kyuhyun’s mother’s side. Still, it was kind of strange. Had they never been at any family functions together? It was almost as disturbing as the Heechul and Ahra romance. There was something strange about people in Kyuhyun’s family and Yunho was beginning to think that Boa was one of the only exceptions. “Is that Yunho in the background? Is he staying at the mansion again?” Kangin asked. “You’re not sleeping with him are you? Because if he dared touch you—” “No!” she insisted. “He’s a perfect gentleman. I assure you that he has no ill intentions towards me.” “He better not. I insist on him marrying you first,” Kangin informed her.
“I’m sure that’s what he has in mind,” she assured him, “but he actually came into town to attend some business with Kyuhyun this time around. Of course, it’s a little early for Kyu to be up yet, so Yunho is keeping me company while I make breakfast. Eunhyuk and Donghae have the day off for wedding plans, of course.” “Ah, yes,” Kangin said. “I’ll be coming back for that myself. That’s probably the earliest I’ll see you. I’m sorry. It’s hard to sneak away at the moment when I’ve just started my new job.” “That’s all right. I understand,” she said. “Give Leeteuk my best and tell him I look forward to seeing him then as well.” “I will,” he said. “Call me if you need anything. I love you.” “I will. I love you, too.” Boa turned off the phone and set it down on the table. Yunho’s brows rose. “Your brother and Leeteuk?” “So it seems,” she said, reaching for her chopsticks and beginning to eat again. “To be honest, I always kind of had a feeling about those two. I just didn’t know what it was.” “But you didn’t tell him about us, I noticed,” he pointed out. “I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she said. “I do. I think it’s better to tell him over the phone. He can’t strangle me then,” Yunho said, running his hand through his hair. “Trust me, I know my brother far better than you do. If I told him that we just got married, he’d drive here at a moment’s notice and kick your behind. If we wait until the wedding, then there will be too many other people around and he won’t be able to do anything to you. It will give him time to settle in with the idea. My other relatives will be congratulating me and he’ll be forced to admit that I’ve made a good match,” she assured him. “At no point do I think your brother is going to be fine when he hears that we ran off and got secretly married witho
