It isn't a secret that Sungmin loves Japan. A vast majority of the ELF fandom, if not all, would know that their "aegyo prince" has a certain fascination for the said country. It even came to a point wherein he would sneak out of the dorms just to attend Japanese lessons so as to harness his Nihonggo skills. There's just something about Japan that fascinates Sungmin. It may have been due to the rich culture, the scrumptious food, the people themselves, even.
It is true that Sungmin would want to live in Japan someday - with a family of his own, most preferably. Not that he hated Korea. He loved Korea. Who could ever hate their home country right? No. Just, no.
Sungmin's reason goes deeper than that.
Aside from his dream to climb to the tip of Mount Fuji, aside from his desire to wear those pretty kimonos which Kyuhyun boasted of by shoving numerous pictures of him with some Japanese women under Sungmin's nose every chance he gets, aside from his ambition to teach music to Japanese kids, aside from his dire want to master the language - above all the things about Japan that awes Sungmin, it might have as well been simply due to the fact that in Japan, he could find the peace he has long since longed for.
Being an idol definitely takes its toll and Sungmin can definitely feel the pressure escalate through time. Not to be misconstrued, Sungmin loves being an idol. It has been his dream ever since he learned abstract reasoning. It is Sungmin's way of life - a path laid out for him to follow - a mountain he has worked so hard to reach the peak for. Sungmin wouldn’t know life outside of this.
The life idols live may be perceived as comfortable - luxurious even. Sungmin acknowledges the fact that indeed, he is blessed than most people and for that, he is thankful. Acting, singing, and dancing - doing the things he loves the most, seem to be better than fishing or farming in some secluded town after all. Not that Sungmin has anything against farming or fishing - each job deserves respect in its own right. Sungmin just thinks that being an idol suits him better. But then again, just like any other thing in this world, nothing really goes without a price. It is true when they say: "No pain, no gain."
Exhaustion, lack of privacy, sleepless nights, forbidden romantic relationships, not being able to express one's self for the fear of ruining one’s image - all these, and a whole lot more - are the price an idol has to pay - the price Sungmin has to pay, to stay at the top, so to speak. Thinking about the sacrifices he has done so far, Sungmin couldn't help but question whether he wanted to be on top after all. And if he did, for what?
Japan may be somewhere Sungmin could start anew as soon as he gets to living his life - finally. It could be where he would be able to walk on the streets without having to wear his cap hung low and have humongous sunglasses cover his eyes for the fear of being mobbed by fan girls whenever he goes jogging or simply wants to get fresh air. It could be the place wherein he wouldn't get photographed while riding his bike during his leisure time. It could be the place wherein he'd be able to ride the subway and not get stalked by high school girls who cut class just to do so. It could be the place wherein he'd be able to raise his children away from the public eye. It could be the place wherein he could get married and not have the news splayed all over the leading tabloids' front pages the very next day. It could be the place wherein he could find someone he truly likes to date. It could be the place wherein he could... well, fall in love.
Sungmin was jolted out of his reveries when a certain someone snuggles closer to his leg and he couldn't help but smile to himself when Kyuhyun throws his right arm over Sungmin's torso and hugs him tight - not unlike how a child does so with his mother's leg - as if not wanting to let go.
Seeing Kyuhyun by his side, eyes closed and looking like the maknae that he is once and for all, with a content smile on his visage as he nuzzles closer towards the warmth that is Sungmin, Sungmin couldn't help but think that he could forget about the sushi, the polychromatic kimonos, the music lessons with the Japanese kids, the random trips to the 24-hour convenience store without getting stalked - all about Japan and all the opportunities it holds - if he could have this.
Then a realization hits him. It may not be necessarily Japan. It could be anywhere in the world actually. In fact, South Korea, or Seoul, Gwangjin-gu, Jayang Sam-dong, The Sharp Star City Apartment, Building C, room 1101, in his shared room with Kyuhyun to be exact, would be the most appropriate place Sungmin would rather be.
Sungmin finds it silly that he had even thought of moving countries just to find the things he want when he has been with the one he needs all along.

"Min? Why aren't you asleep yet?" Kyuhyun mutters sleepily as he cracks an eye open to look up at his hyung who was sitting up on the bed, leaning against the head board.
"Just because." Sungmin smiles and ruffles Kyuhyun's messier-than-usual hair.
Kyuhyun groans and turns his attention to the photo frame Sungmin had in his hand.
"Daydreaming... or should I say night dreaming about Japan again?" Kyuhyun asks, finally sitting up as well and dropping his head on Sungmin's shoulder as he pries the photo of him wearing a kimono during his vacation to Japan out of Sungmin's grasp.
Sungmin lets out a quiet hum in response and rests his head on top of Kyuhyun's on his shoulder; thinking that nothing Japan has to offer, nothing this world can offer, that could replace this.
"I'll buy us a house right at the heart of Tokyo and feed you so much sushi until your stomach bursts. We can wear kimonos even when we're just in the house and I would take you to every cosplay event there is until you feel nauseous from seeing all the pink hair and whatever kids these days wear as costumes. We could ride bikes all the time, or even walk if you want. You know how much I hate walking but I'll walk with you as long as you want me too. Y-Y-You don't know how sorry I am that I couldn't fulfill your dreams right now. Just... please... Min, don't give up on me. Don't give up on us. I promise, when the time is right, I'll do everything I can to finally make you happy." Kyuhyun whispers onto Sungmin's neck - placing the photo frame on the side table where it belonged. Sungmin can't help but chuckle at his boyfriend's antics, touched at how he became serious towards the end, nonetheless.
"Ssssh. You already do Kyu. You already do." Sungmin coos onto Kyuhyun's hair and he felt the younger tighten his arms around his waist before resuming his slumber.
Because really, if there's one thing, or in this case, one person in this world that makes Sungmin genuinely happy, it's Kyuhyun.
"The place doesn't matter so long as I'm with you." Sungmin whispers into Kyuhyun’s ear as he places a chaste kiss on the latter’s forehead.
Kyuhyun smiles in his sleep and hugs Sungmin closer as he tangles their feet underneath the blanket.
Sungmin hugs Kyuhyun back and lets himself be lulled to sleep by the younger’s soft breathing against his cheek.
Just as the last of his consciousness slipped, Sungmin let out a contented sigh as he realized that yes; this is where he wants to be.

P.S. I'm not sure about the address. I just googled it. LOL
P.S.S. Jia, I can hear your complaints from here. LMAO
P.S.S.S. Comment if you love KyuMin. HAHA
