Summary: Kyuhyun was just a college student with no ideas of finding a lover yet. The couples strolling around the city didn't help. As Kyuhyun secretly envied them all, he discovers a cell phone... with quite a weird ringtone. The owner was no other than Kim Jongwoon, or Yesung he prefers, a weirdo who likes to touch philtrums and has a turtle on his shoulder. Yesung happily offers Kyuhyun a lover, and by the next day, a naked unactivated Sungmin awaited Kyuhyun on his bed! When their eyes meet, an amusing yet dramatic adventure starts! The only thing Kyuhyun wouldn't get out of his mind, was that Sungmin was simply a robotic yet realistic figure who pleads him to help him become human.
A/N: Eighth. I got bored and wrote the last chapter too. xD Sorry for the long delay! I've been liking SHINee more than Suju lately and it's wrecking my fanfic mojo. ;A;

Kyuhyun had to drag the pink-clad man away from all the stores before the two were to meet up with Yesung and Ryeowook again. He ignored all the puppy-dog faces and cute pouts Sungmin was giving him. "No, Sungmin. You can do that with Ryeowook hyung later. We have to go to the cafe now. Heechul hyung will murder me if I'm late." Sungmin crossed his arms, pouting again, and allowed himself to be dragged.
"Kyu~ Stop dragging me~ I won't beg you for anything!" Sungmin complained. Kyuhyun stopped and let go of the older, who sighed in relief and stood up. Sungmin smiled at Kyuhyun and took his hand in his. "It's your hand I want." Kyuhyun rolled his eyes a bit at the slight cheesiness.
Once they entered the cafe, a glass was flung toward them. They dodged quickly as the glass broke onto the ground. Kyuhyun sighed and waved. "Hello, Heechul hyung." Heechul looked pissed then continued talking to Hangeng. Sungmin looked up at Kyuhyun. "Don't worry. This is hyung's way of greeting me." Kyuhyun watched as Heechul turned back to him, picking up a glass and cleaning it with a soft cloth.
"Yah! You skipped some days of work! You never do that!" Kyuhyun had gotten used to the annoyed tone on Heechul's voice a bunch of times. But it didn't really matter. Heechul needed him as a singer, considering he had no one else to replace Kyuhyun with. Hangeng was pretty good as a singer as he sang to cover for Kyuhyun, but those vocals were needed for something else anyway. "You're lucky I missed, punk."
"You always did have a bad aim, hyung," Kyuhyun chuckled as he ducked below a table once Heechul raised his arm that was holding the glass. Luckily, Sungmin quickly grabbed onto Heechul's wrist. Kyuhyun gulped. "Hey, be careful, Min." Heechul twitched and stared at the pink-clad man.
"Yah! Who's this kid? Kyuhyun! Is this the girl that you've been sleeping with?!" Heechul asked very informally. Sungmin blushed a bit and kept on insisting Heechul that he wasn't a girl. Kyuhyun's face turned red and he argued with the crazy owner. Heechul swatted all of it and stared at Sungmin. "Yah. What's your favorite color?"
"Pink, of course."
Heechul paused for a moment then kissed Sungmin roughly. Sungmin widened his eyes once Heechul parted his lips. He ran over to Kyuhyun, hiding behind him. "Heh. You have potential to be my new friend. I like you." Hangeng eyed Heechul jealously as the man turned back to him and shook his head. "But not as much as you, Hannie~!"
Sungmin spotted Yesung and Ryeowook sitting in one of the tables, motioning him to come over. He happily bounced over, with Kyuhyun watching. The MinWook friends hugged each other tightly as they sat down. "Kyuhyun's going to sing~ I'm so excited to listen to how he sounds~" Sungmin and Ryeowook squealed. Sungmin and Ryeowook only brought out their inner girl whenever they spoke to each other. Yesung mumbled about how he sings pretty good.
A few minutes later, Sungmin found himself swaying to the sound of Kyuhyun's voice. The brown-haired was singing a familiar ballad, and the cafe was silent, the customers listening to the source of the voice. Sungmin noticed Kyuhyun was looking at him the whole time, as if he was serenading the smaller man. He smiled at Kyuhyun, but the smile soon faded once he realized something. Kyuhyun looked at Sungmin worriedly but continued to sing.
Once Kyuhyun's ballad ended, the customers starting talking to one another and Heechul startled cackling loudly. He slung his arm around Kyuhyun's shoulder as they walked into the employees' quarters, with Hangeng following their trail. Kyuhyun looked desperately for Sungmin's help, but the other merely sat there dazed. Ryeowook finally poked Sungmin's cheek, making the latter snap back to reality and face him. "You okay, Sungmin ah? You've been out of it while Kyuhyun was singing." He exclaimed. Sungmin sighed sadly, then looked at the door where Kyuhyun and Heechul walked into.
"Ryeowook... Yesung... is my love for Kyuhyun artificial too?" Sungmin asked, concerned. Ryeowook and Yesung looked at each other, the question shocking them both. Yesung nudged Ryeowook to answer, earning a glare from the smaller.
"Um.... love is complicated, Sungmin ah. That's all I can answer." Ryeowook piped up. Sungmin sighed and slumped in his seat.

"I never agreed to this." Kyuhyun found himself on a "date" with Sung-ah, who merely stuck out her tongue and hummed. "But you're probably going to use your parents as an excuse." That resulted in Sung-ah punching his arm. They walked around the streets of Seoul. Other people stared at them and murmured at how cute the couple was. Kyuhyun cursed under his breath and wished Sungmin were here to join them. But, no. Ryeowook invited Sungmin to go an amusement park with him, and the bunny happily accepted.
"My parents were expecting us to go to an elegant restaurant, but I decided to just have us go out casually for once." Sung-ah explained. Kyuhyun looked at her, that explained the casual T-shirt, hoodie, and skirt she was wearing contrasting to her formal wear she wore when the two had to meet. Not that Kyuhyun ever dressed formally for her either. "I'm craving some chicken. How about you?"
"Hmm. That's fine." They went inside a Mexicana chicken restaurant. They quickly ordered a few pieces each then sat in a table. Kyuhyun was drifting off into space. Probably thinking about Sungmin, Sung-ah thought and pouted.
"Sung-ah?"
Sung-ah looked up at the familiar voice and slightly widened her eyes. "Eh? Jinki oppa?" The young man had a tray of chicken in his hands and wore a uniform. He glanced at Sung-ah. "Call me Onew, Sung-ah." He said. Kyuhyun glanced at him. He seemed to look nervous when he stared at Sung-ah and set the tray down just in time. The young man smiled at her.
"Long time no see, Sung-ah! How have you been?"
"Ah, good. Been meeting new people lately. You?"
Onew scoffed. "I think my friends are starting to turn gay. Well, Jonghyun and Kibum are. But I don't know about those two." He hand-motioned to another table nearby. A spiky-haired boy and another with his hair half-shaved were being all cutesy at each other, cuddling against one another. A very young-looking boy or girl, Kyuhyun couldn't really tell, with brownish long hair sat next to a short-haired other, his hair looks like Spock's, Kyuhyun thought, just casually conversed, ignoring the couple. But the young boy seemed to have a bright smile on his face while he was talking to the other.
Sung-ah giggled. "I remember meeting your friends. Taemin's very nice." She looked at the young boy. "He looks like he would go for noonas! I doubt he's gay." Kyuhyun just kept on observing how Onew looked at her while she babbled. He rested his arm, grabbing a piece of chicken with the other.
Onew shrugged. "Maybe he's only gay for Minho." He turned around and glanced back at the two. "I'll see you soon okay?" He walked back to the counter.
Sung-ah was silently eating a piece of chicken. She looked up at Kyuhyun, who was staring at her the whole time. Her cheeks turned rosy red as she puffed out her cheeks. "What?"
Kyuhyun gave his traditional smirk and turned away. "Nothing." He replied blankly. "You eat like a pig."
"HEY!"

Kyuhyun opened the door to his house, looking around to see if Sungmin was home. He checked around the rooms but didn't spot him. He sighed, thinking he was probably upstairs. Until he heard a high-pitched scream from his room. He quickly went up the stairs and slammed the door open. He saw Sungmin on the ground, panting. Sungmin looked up at Kyuhyun and widened his eyes. Kyuhyun went up to him and hugged him. "Hey. You okay?"
"He tried to take me..."
"Who?"
"Some guy named Shindong..."
Sungmin rested his head onto Kyuhyun's neck. Kyuhyun gently stroked the elder's black hair, sighing. Who would even take Sungmin so suddenly? "It's okay, Min. I'm here now." He continued stroking Sungmin's hair solemnly. "How was the amusement park?" That question lightened up Sungmin's mood a bit as the bunny smiled.
"It was fun~ Ryeowook, Yesung, and I went on almost every ride. It would've been more fun if you were here." They settled onto Kyuhyun's bed. Kyuhyun chuckled, opening his laptop. A few minutes later, Kyuhyun was killing off enemies on Starcraft II while Sungmin watched a new episode of some variety show. In the middle of it, he took out a pink lollipop, unwrapped it, and stuck it in his mouth.
Kyuhyun glanced at his hyung as the pink lover licked the lollipop slowly with a creepy smile on his face. He tried not to laugh. But then his breath hitched once Sungmin started licking it seductively while looking at Kyuhyun. He gulped, feeling his pants tighten. He tried to resist, but couldn't once he tackled the bunny, giving him a hot and passionate kiss.

Yesung covered his ears, groaning at how loud the couple were. Yesung and Ryeowook sat on the roof of Kyuhyun's house. Ryeowook merely ignored it with earbuds in his ears and a stuffed turtle in his hands, loud music blaring out of the earbuds. Yesung stared at his boyfriend. "How cruel! You don't even bother giving me one of the buds?!"
Ryeowook pouted at him.
