Unfading Love 1: Undercover
“Yoboseyo...”
“Kyu Oppa~...” A cheerful girl voice heard on the other line of phone.
“Oh... Yoona?”
“Oppa, when will you go on a date with me?? Seriously, it has been 2 weeks and you have cancelled our date for about 5 or 6 times already!!!”
Kyuhyun could sense that Yoona was pouting even though he didn’t see her “Okay, okay, relax... First, you have to understand me, you know, Super Junior are preparing for Super Show 3 concert and that means we need more time, a lot more time to practice dancing and singing. Second, that’s not a date, I promised to hang out with you, but not a date.”
“Yeah, yeah... Sooner or later it will become a date...” Yoona said lazily.
“Whatever...” Kyuhyun was too tired to argue with her.
“How about this Saturday? You are free, aren’t you?”
“Let me check it first... Huumm, okay Saturday night. Dinner, I’ll pick you up at seven, how about it?”
“Yaiyyy!!!” Kyuhyun had to pull the phone away from his ear because of an extremely excited fangirl yelled into the phone.
Gosh, I can be deaf if she keeps her tone high like that. Kyuhyun said to himself.
“Alright then, see you soon Oppa~” with that she hang up the phone. Kyuhyun sighed in relief.
Yoona was a nice girl. She had a pretty face with a good and sexy body shape. She could dance and sing well. She spoke politely, acted nicely. She was perfect. A lot of men had been chasing over her. But why, why Kyuhyun couldn’t have interest on her more than just a friend?
I just can’t get over you, Sungmin Hyung... I’m still deeply in love with you...Yoona is sweet, but not as sweet as you. She has good behaviors, but no one could compare your kindness and sincerity... If only you could love me back, Hyung...

“Donghae, may I borrow your b---“ Sungmin stopped his step abruptly when he saw Donghae sobbing on his bed in sitting position, while his hand caressed a picture frame lovingly.
“I’m sorry Hae, I don’t know that...you... I’ll come back later...” Sungmin turned to leave Donghae, but the letter stopped him.
“It’s okay Min Hyung...” Donghae wiped his tears away, “Come, what do you need from me?”
“It... I... I just want to borrow your book. Eunhyukkie said that you had a good book about outer space...” Sungmin said as he sat beside Donghae on the bed.
“The one that discusses about aliens existence??” Donghae’s sad face turned into a bright one, his weak sound turned into lively tone once he mentioned the word ‘alien’. That was amazing how his mood swing took over him.
Aish, this kid and his obsession about aliens... “Uumm... I’m not sure, I just feel like reading a book about Black Hole, Galaxy, Stars...”
“Oh I see, but that book also mentions about aliens! Here, it is very interesting Hyung!” Donghae took a thick book on the shelf near his bed and handed it to Sungmin, “Can we discuss about it after you finish reading the book?” his face was full of hope.
“Eh... Yeah, sure...”
“Great!” He clapped his hands like a little boy who just got a present.
Sungmin laughed at his bandmate’s unique attitude. However, his attention distracted soon as he saw a thing that Donghae had been holding possessively ever since he entered the room, “Hae, may I ask you something?”
“Nee, Min Hyung what is it?”
“Is that Kibum’s picture that you are holding in?” He pointed a picture frame in Donghae’s hand.
Donghae’s voice and expression soften, “...Yes...”
“You miss him, don’t you? Is that the reason why you cry?”
“Yes, Hyung. I miss him so much... You miss him too, right? Every member too... I guess I just become too sensitive lately...” he smiled sadly.
“You love him...as a lover, don’t you?”
“Yes... W- Wha -Whaat??” Donghae startled for his hyung’s sudden question, and for the honest anwer that had just escaped from his mouth.
“I know, Hae. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone else. And I’m not mad at you. Honestly, I feel sympathy for you two.” Because I’m in the same boat like you... Sungmin smiled while softly squeezing his dongsaeng’s hand, a silent symbol of reassurance.
“B-but how do you k-know it, Hyung?” Donghae asked, still in his surprised tone.
“Well, maybe it’s because of my sixth sense? Hehe...” Sungmin joked, trying to make the fish-lover more comfortable.
“Ow Hyung... Hahaha...”
“You can share your burden with me, if you want to...”
“Thanks Hyung...” the younger man gave a sincere smile to his hyung. He felt grateful that Super Junior had a caring, loving, and understanding member like Sungmin. He knew the fact that not many people would accept when of his or her friend has a love story with another person in the same gender. Well, not in Eastern countries...
Seeing that Donghae began to relax, Sungmin braved himself to ask, “Hae, I’m sorry for asking you this, but my curiosity has won over me, have you... Have ever regretted loving him? I mean... Now that you two are apart...”
“No. To love someone and to be loved by someone you love is the greatest thing that happened in life, in my life. Even though my time with him was short, I would never regret it. Those were the best days of my life.” Donghae spoke in melancholic yet strong aura. His eyes glued to Kibum’s photo while his lips were curving a smile.
“Even when he was far away from you? Even when you couldn’t reach and see him?”
“Yes. Even when his body was far away from me, I know his heart was still in here, and it will always be here...” Donghae pointed to his own chest. “I believe, sometime, somehow, we’ll be together again. Maybe later, when we are not idols anymore... I don’t know... But one thing I know for sure, I’ll be waiting for him when he comes back...”
“Are those worth it? All your tears, your sadness, your pain... Is love worth all those?”
“Yes Hyung. I’m willing to give all my life to struggle for my love...” he said firmly. Sungmin could see the love, the faith, the hope that Donghae had, and he was amazed by that.
This boy… He has been separated from his lover yet he still fights for his love… Aish! How could I be so stupid! Idiot Sungmin! Why wouldn’t I fight for my own love? Kyuhyun loves me, and I love him, silly Sungmin! Kyuhyun has not been on a date with any girl until now. Well, 2 weeks ago he said he would date Yoona, but they have not done it yet. I know it. He still loves me! We can talk about it, and if Kyuhyun still wants to be with me after he realizes all the consequences, we will find the way… Yes, we will find the way…
Sungmin looked his dongsaeng with a grin on his face, his big round eyes widened from the realization of love and hope that grew at that time, “I wish you luck then... You know you have my support.”
“Thank you Min Hyung...for being such a nice and care brother...”
“And thank you Hae, for sharing your story with me. That means a lot for me.” Sungmin smiled while patting Donghae’s shoulder, and then he got up, leaving a confused Donghae alone in his room.
Sungmin jumped happily from the 11th dorm to the 12th floor, to his and Kyuhyun’s shared bedroom, his heart beat faster when he got a glimpse of the man he loved from a slight open door. He tried to calm his fast heart beat. He exhaled and inhaled, exhaled and inhaled again to gain the serenity. His lips curved into a smile, a line of pink tint on his cheeks as heat came from the excitement.
I’m going to tell him now. Go Sungmin, go! I can do it! Sungmin told himself. Then he put his hand on the door and pushed it till it fully open.
“Kyuhyun-ah!”
“Hey, Sungmin hyung…”
“Kyuhyun, I-“ but before Sungmin could finish his sentence, the younger cut him.
“Hyung, could you help me? I’m going to have a dinner with Yoona tonight, what do you think I should wear?” Kyuhyun asked him while observing his wardrobe, not even looked at the older.
That sentence not only cut his words, but also cut his heart. All his hope was gone hearing Kyuhyun’s question. Shocked, he dropped the book he had borrowed from Donghae, “U-uh? Hmm…”
The thumb sound made the younger turn around to face him, “What’s wrong Hyung?”
“Nah, it’s OK. I’m just careless. Silly me…” he forced a chuckle while grabbing the book. Silly me, not telling you my feelings earlier. Now I have to let you go… You will be better with Yoona anyway… No one will against you two… His grip on the book tightened while thinking about Yoona and Kyuhyun.
“So, do you think it’s okay to wear only shirt and jeans? I don’t have to be formal, do I?”
“No, you don’t have to… Just wear anything that makes you comfortable… Any clothes will look good on you…” Sungmin answered faintly. You always look good, Kyu… You are perfect… He thought bitterly.
“Alright then…” Kyuhyun turned to his wardrobe again to search for the proper clothes. The sharp eyes of Kyuhyun caught the sad face of his hyung. The magnae felt the sudden change of his hyung, a while ago he entered the room cheerfully but 10 seconds later he began gloomy. Neither Kyuhyun knew the reason why, nor had any braveness to ask his hyung, so he just shrugged it off.
###################################
Kyuhyun kept his promise and brought Yoona to the mall.
“Oppa... I made you an apple pie... Here, try it!” She handed Kyuhyun a small tupperware box.
“You made it yourself? Wow... Thanks”
“I did. Try it oppa!” He took a small piece of the pie and ate it. “So, how is it? Do you like it?” she asked in expectation.
“Yes, it’s delicious...” But not as delicious as your pumpkin pie, Sungmin hyung... Yours is the best...
Kyuhyun smiled as a flash scene came across to his mind; a scene of Sungmin’s happy and proud expression while serving him the sweet pumpkin pie.
After he finished the little snack Yoona brought him, they continued to walk around the mall. Suddenly she shouted, “Oh dear, aren’t they cute~?”
“What are the cute things, Yoona?”
“Those plushies over there... They are so cute~” Yoona pointed out a display window of a plushie store. There, stood a lot kind of animal plushie; bunny, kitten, puppy, duck, mouse, monkey, cow, crocodile, and turtle. Despite there were so many plushies, Kyuhyun’s eyes automatically landed on the line of several cute bunnies.
“Right, the bunnies are so cute...” The cute bunnies...your favorite, Min hyung...
“No, not the bunnies, oppa... The puppies! The puppies are cuter than the bunnies~”
“Oh....” But I think the bunnies are the cutest... Guess that you have influenced me so much, Min hyung...
Kyuhyun giggled as a few scenes from the past danced in his mind; a scene of Sungmin cuddling his bunny plushie to sleep, a scene of Sungmin cheerfully bouncing after someone had given him a bunny plushie, a scene of Sungmin playing and talking to his bunnies like a little girl whenever he got bored, a scene of Sungmin tickling Kyuhyun with his bunny to stop him from playing Starcraft...
“Oppa, I want some ice cream~” Yoona’s words snapped him into reality.
“Huh? Okay. What flavor do you want?”
“Strawberry flavor, the sweet one!”
“I’ll get it for you. Wait here, OK?” Strawberry flavor, just what you like, hyung...
And again, Kyuhyun couldn’t stop himself from imagining a scene when he shared a cup of strawberry ice cream with his most beloved hyung.
What’s wrong with me? Even when I’m with a girl, a beautiful-nice-kind-perfect girl, all I can think about is you, Sungmin hyung... Everything around me always reminds me of you... I simply can’t get you out of my head...
###################################
When finally Kyuhyun and Yoona decided to take a dinner, unexpectedly they met 2 familiar figure...a cute, tiny, beautiful girl entwined hand with a tall, thin, handsome man.
“Sunny?? Changmin??”
“Sunny unnie!! Changmin oppa!!”
“Yoona!! Kyuhyun oppa!!”
“Kyuhyun-ah?? Yoona??”
While the two young girls greeted each other cheerfully -without any clumsiness, maybe because they had discussed their dates back on their own dorm before-, the remain two young men got startled about the fact that they met each other on that place, and got even more shocked when they saw each other’s companion.
“So Kyuhyun, are you going out with Yoona?” the magnae of ex-DBSK asked the magnae of Super Junior.
“Yes we are. This is our first time anyway...” Yoona said cheerfully, her right hand circling around Kyuhyun’s.
“Wow, I never thought that we could have double dates. This will be fun! Let’s sit together!” Sunny added.
Kyuhyun was too shocked to react. He couldn’t believe what he saw. When finally he could collect his soul back, he loosen himself from Yoona and moved in front of Sunny.
“I need to speak with Sunny-ssi for a moment, privately, please excuse us.” Kyuhyun spoke as he took Sunny’s arm and guided her out of the restaurant.
“Kyuhyun oppa, what’s wrong???” Sunny said in worried tone after Kyuhyun stopped dragging her outside the restaurant.
“Sunny, what are you doing here with CHANGMIN?” He emphasized the word.
“We’re hanging out, well you can call it a date, actually... Is there something wrong with that?”
“What? A date? Are you cheating on Sungmin hyung? How dare you!!” He spoke in angry tone. No one could hurt his Sungmin as long as he could prevent it.
“Huumm?? Excuse me?” a blank expression on Sunny’s face.
“You are in a relationship with Sungmin hyung, aren’t you?”
“No. Of course not! Sungmin oppa had said to the media that there was nothing more than friendship between us, and I had indirectly clarified that too. What makes you think like that, Kyu oppa?”
“So... There’s nothing between you two? But Sungmin hyung said that...” He was very confused.
“Oh, Kyu oppa, I think you know Sungmin oppa better than me... He must be kidding when he said that... He is a funny and cute person, always joking around with people... You know that, don’t you? He said you were his best friend. I’m surprised to see you asking me this question...”
“Are you... Really???”
“I swear oppa, there’s nothing between us...” Sunny stated clearly.
“Ah... I’m sorry Sunny... I’m so sorry...” He felt guilty for acting a bit rude to her.
“It’s alright oppa. But speaking of Sungmin oppa...” Sunny paused for a minute, unsure whether she should talk about his co-worker in Chunji Radio or not. “Well, never mind...”
“What is about Sungmin hyung?”
“No, nothing...”
“Come on, Sunny, you have to tell me... I’m not going to tell it to anybody else, okay?”
Sunny sighed, “I’m worried about him... He looks different lately, right? It seems that he becomes sadder, more quiet... And his smile...instead of his bright smiles, he only shows the bitter ones...”
“Have you ever asked him about that, Sunny?”
“Yes, I have. He said that it was about his romance. Sungmin oppa never told me the detailed story. But he said something about that he could not be together with the one he loved. Guess that the girl he loved didn’t love him back... I wonder who was the girl that broke Sungmin oppa’s heart. She must be a cruel girl!”
Kyuhyun dazed. He needed time to arrange every little puzzle of information to form a continuous story about what had happened between Sungmin and himself. He tried his best to think, and think, and think… And then, everything came in sense to him…
“Kyu oppa, I think we should go back to Changmin oppa and Yoona. I don’t want to have jealous eyes glaring at me for the rest of the day...”
“Woah... I don’t know that Changmin is a protective boyfriend...”
“Oppa~...” Sunny whined at him “You really like to tease people, don’t you?”
“Hahaha.. Okay, okay... And Sunny... Thanks for telling me this...”
“You are welcome, oppa. I hope you can help Sungmin oppa out of his problem.”
“I will, Sunny.... I will...” He smiled as a hope started to grow inside him.
###################################
“Kyu oppa, are you with me?”
“Eeh? What?”
“Kyu oppa, you have been spacing out again...”
“Uh? Umm... I’m sorry...”
“Is there something wrong?”
“No, nothing’s wrong. I’m just a little bit tired. Can we go home now?”
“Now? I thought we would go on watching movie first.”
“I’m sorry Yoona. Next time?”
Kyuhyun couldn’t act properly. His body was there, but not his mind. There were so many questions in his head.
Sungmin hyung, why did you lie to me? To whom does your heart belong to? Wait, you started acting weird-looked depressed-feeling sad-showing you bitter sweet smile since three weeks ago, it was the same time when I confessed to you. And you looked upset when I asked you about what should I wear on my dinner with Yoona… Does that mean...you feel the same thing towards me? Do you love me the way I love you, hyung? Is it me, the person that you love? But why did you push me away? Were you afraid of something? Did someone force you to reject me? Why did you tell Sunny that you could not be with me? I’m here, hyung... I’m here... Can’t you see me?? We can be together...
I have to find it out... I have to know the truth...
Then he planned something that could make Sungmin revealed his own feeling...
###################################
“Yoona, how are you, dear? ..........What are you doing now? ........... Really? I miss you too ........... Me? Thinking of you, honey ........... I’m wondering when we’ll meet again of course, hahaha .........” Kyuhyun spoke joyfully while holding his handphone, his face never fail to make a grin.
“Kyu, can do you the lovey-dovey conversation with your lover out there? I’m trying to study here...” Sungmin said, annoyed.
“Wait a minute, sweetie... “ Kyuhyun turned to face Sungmin “I’m sorry hyung, but this is also my room, right? You can just use your ear phone and continue your study, can’t you?” Kyuhyun ignored him and continue his action. “Yoona, I’m back ....... No, there’s nothing ......... Have you eaten your dinner, sweetheart? ......... Yes, I’d love too ......... ”
Sungmin couldn’t take it anymore. He left the room immediately and didn’t forget to slam the door first.
So you are jealous, huh, Sungmin hyung? A smirk on his face. I got you in my trap now...
Kyuhyun followed Sungmin right away, not before he grabbed something from his desk and put it on his pocket.
Sungmin had tried to be patient, he had tried to be a nice person. He wanted Kyuhyun to be happy, he was willing to give Kyuhyun whatever it took to make him smile. He would sacrifice his own happiness, and he had done it. He had abandoned his plan to confess to the younger. But he had never thought that it would be such a torture. It was just too much. He was only a human. A human who had the limit on his patience. He had agreed to let Kyuhyun go to another girl. But it didn’t mean that he had stopped loving him. No, he still loved him. He still and he always would. Sometimes love can be selfish too, and jealousy is one kind of selfishness. And that was it. He couldn’t stand still. If he had stayed in that room any longer, he would have been exploded. And that would make the situation get worse. He needed some time to be alone, to calm himself down, to think clearly and to soothe his heart. So he ran to the roof top without knowing that a man was silently stalking him.
###################################
“I hate you! I hate you! AAAARRGGHHHH.......I HATE YOOUUU.....!!!!!!” Sungmin yelled, let out his anger.
“Who do you hate, hyung?” A deep, husky voice startled him.
Sungmin turned around only to see a guy who would be the last person he wanted to meet at that time, “Kyuhyun, what are you doing HERE???”
“You do not answer a question with another question, hyung”
“Well, it’s none of your business”
“You hate me, don’t you?’
“Mind your own business, will you?” Sungmin sent him a dead glare. “I’m sleepy. I’m going to the room now”
“Hyung wait, I need to talk to you” Kyuhyun gripped his wrist.
“What are you doing? Let go off me!” Sungmin tried to break the hold to no avail. He didn’t know that Kyuhyun had such a strong grip.
“You are jealous, aren’t you?”
“No. Why should I?”
“If that so, could you tell me why are you so pissed off?”
“I’m not.”
“Yes, you are. Admit it. Geez, hyung why do you always lie to me? First, you lied to me about Sunny.”
Sungmin shocked, “Y-you... You know?”
“Yes, I do. I met Sunny a couple days ago and she was dating Changmin!”
“I-I’m sorry...” his voice was soft, the effect after regretted his mistake.
“And then you lie to me about your own feeling. I know you are jealous. So jealous about me.”
“No, I’m not!” his voice rose again.
“Yes, you are.”
“I’m not!”
“You are.”
“I’m not!”
“You are.”
“I’m not!”
“You are.”
“I’m not!”
“You aren’t”
“I am!”
“Oh...so finally you speak it up” Kyuhyun said in a satisfied and mocking tone.
Sungmin didn’t realize that Kyuhyun played with the words to trick him, “....... Um? Wait a minute... I-I mean I’m not”
“Yes, you are hyung. You are jealous because you love me.”
Sungmin was tired with the word-game and he admitted, “Aish~ I hate you! Fine. I’m jealous. Happy?” He pouted cutely. “I’m infatuated by you. I love you, but I know I don’t have any right to be mad at you since I’ve rejected you. Now seeing you with someone else, I can’t help myself but to be jealous. I have to accept this, I know. I should be a good friend, giving you support. I should be a nice hyung, happy when you find your lover. It’s just.... Aish~” he ruffled his own hair in distress.
A smile formed on Kyuhyun’s face. He hurriedly hugged Sungmin tight. “I love you too, hyung. I love you. I love you.”
Sungmin pulled away from the hug, “Stop it. Don’t play with me, Cho Kyuhyun! Who do you think you are? Do you think you can date many girls and boys and break their hearts when you’re bored? Be a gentleman, Kyuhyun! You have Yoona now, be loyal to her and stop giving me hope!”
“But Yoona isn’t my lover...”
“Hello? I have ears, you know? I know you’re going out with her. And what about that intimate phone conversation?” Sungmin said in mocking tone.
“Well...hahaha... I didn’t know you could easily be fooled like that...”
“Whaaat?”
“That was fake, hyung. The phone was fake. I didn’t call her. I just wanted to know how you would react.” Kyuhyun chuckled, “And about going out with Yoona, yes I had once. But do you know that was a fail?”
“Why?”
“Because...” he caressed Sungmin’s cheek tenderly while saying, “Because all I could thinking about at that time was you. When I saw everything with pink, when I saw bunny plushie, when I ate strawberry ice cream, even when I saw Yoona I could only imagine you and you only, hyung... Yoona was quite disappointed because I had been spacing out almost all the time.”
Sungmin’s cheeks turned a bright pink, “You are such a bad person, Kyuhyunnie...” he gave him a soft slap on his chest.
Kyuhyun pull him into his embrace once again, “But you love me, Sungmin hyung...”
Sungmin giggled, “Yes, I do, I really do.” Just then he remembered his conversation with Eeteuk, about the leader’s concerned for what might happen to both of them, “Wait, Kyu... We can’t...” the pink-lover pushed him slightly, but far enough to create a distance between them. Sungmin had to make sure that Kyuhyun was ready for their relationship, that he was as willing as Sungmin to go on the battle for their love.
“Why can’t we? What now?” Kyuhyun asked in confusion. He just said that he loved me ten seconds ago. What now? Will he reject me again?
“This love... It’s forbidden. It’s not right.”
“I don’t care about it!”
“Kyuhyun, listen to me. I want you to be happy. I want you to success. If people find out about this, everything will be difficult. How will other people think about you? How about your family? Your life, your study, your career will be in danger. I don’t want you to get troubled. I don’t mind if that happens to me, but I won’t let you suffer. That was why I didn’t accept you earlier.”
“Hyung, what’s the meaning of life when I can’t get my true happiness? What’s the meaning of richness and success when I have no one to share my love with? All I need is you. This is my life. I have my own right to decide whatever I want to. Hyung, please... If you want it undercover, then it’s okay, we can hide it. No one will know about us. Not even our members and family. Agree?”
“Are you serious? You want to risk your life for me? For our love?”
“I’m positive, hyung...”
“But...but...”
“What should I say to you to make you understand, hyung?” Kyuhyun took Sungmin’s hands and kissed his backpalms, “I love you, Saranghaeyo, Wo ai ni, Aishiteru, Ich liebe dich, Te amo, Je t’aime...”
Sungmin smiled. At that moment all his anxiety and fear were gone. He knew that Kyuhyun loved him, and he meant it. They would fight for their love. But still, they should be careful on each step they would take, “Then we should not do any intimate action when there are other people around us. We should not do too much skinship during our performances.”
“I think we have been done too little skinship all these years. Near zero, honestly...”
“Oh come on Kyu, we can’t let our fans thinking that there’s something more than just friendship and brotherhood between us... If SME realizes that, it will endanger us...”
“Okay, okay Min hyung... Then I will do the fanservice with Ryeowook and Zhou Mi gege. KyuWook and QMi are more popular lately...”
Sungmin wasn’t sure why, but he felt a little bit sad thinking about KyuWook and QMi couple, “And I will do more skinship with Eunhyukkie and Wookie... EunMin and MinWook are always available...” was his reply to Kyuhyun.
“But don’t make me too jealous, hyung... I don’t want to do something stupid because of my selfishness.” Upon hearing those words, Sungmin’s disappointment vanished. Jealousy is a part of love, and he was glad that he was not the only one who could be jealous.
“Don’t worry, I will make it up to you when there’s just the two of us...” Sungmin didn’t realize what those sentences could bring himself into...
Kyuhyun, being a polite dongsaeng he was, teased his hyung, “So now since we’re alone here... That means I can hold you like this?” Kyuhun held him tight until they could hear each other heart beat.
“And I can see deep into your eyes like this?” He tilted Sungmin’s chin up and saw those big round eyes, shining with warmth and affection.
“And I can kiss you like this?” The taller one kissed the other’s forehead gently “And this?” Kyuhyun continued to kiss the tip of his nose.
“Kyuuu~” Sungmin buried himself in the magnae’s chest, hiding his redden face.
“Hahaha... Are you shy, hyung? I only kissed your forehead and nose, how if I kiss your lips?”
“Oh shut up, Kyu!”
“Sometimes you are just too funny...” Kyuhyun laughed silently. They stayed silent like that for a few minutes, savoring the moment.
“I think that’s a good point when Manager hyung gave me single dance performance with the dance girls in SS3, and gave you duet with Seohyun in SM Town Concert, that will distract fans’ attention about KyuMin.” Sungmin broke the silence as he pulled himself from the hug.
“Yeah, good for SME, good for ELFs, good for fans, bad for me. You made me jealous, you know?”
“You made me jealous too when you sang with Seohyun, saw her face lovingly, hold her hand, touched her head, and you sang whole-heartedly as if you really loved her.”
(KyuSeo pic: Pic1 , Pic2 , Pic3)
“I was not the one who danced seductively and showed his sexy toned abs to the ELFs all over the world. I was not the one whose body touched by four perverted dance girls. Gosh, they touched every inch of your body!”
(Sungmin and the dance girls: Pic4, Pic5, Pic6)
“I could do nothing. That’s what Manager hyung asked me to.”
“Yeah...” A hint of disappointment on his word.
Sungmin tried to calm him down, “Kyu... They can touch my body, but it’s only you who can touch my heart...” But Kyuhyun was still in his stiff mode, frowning.
When Kyuhyun couldn’t be deal with soft way, Sungmin tried the crude one, “I was not the one who uploaded a romantic photo in bed in his SINA update so that the fans in the whole world could saw it!” Sungmin tried to defend himself.
(QMi pic: Pic7)
“I didn’t do that, it was Zhou Mi gege, and I had no idea that he would upload that picture!”
“Yeah, but you liked it. You liked cuddling with him in bed...” Sungmin was sullen.
“Just because you didn’t allow me to cuddle with you... If I could choose, I would prefer to cuddle with you... And I only love him as a brother, you know that...”
“Yeah...” That was Sungmin’s turn to be stubborn.
“Min hyung, you know I only love you...”
“Prove it...” Sungmin demanded.
“Okay, close your eyes”
“Eh??”
“Just close your eyes, hyung. I won’t hurt you” Sungmin obeyed him, “Don’t open them until I ask you.”
“Do you know? Between two people who are in love with each other, or we can call them soul mate, there is a feeling that bond them together, so when one person is happy, the other feels it too. And when latter is sad, the other also feel the same.” Kyuhyun said while playing with Sungmin’s right hand. He tied a transparent string around Sungmin’s fourth finger, he positioned it in vertical-straight position and pulled the transparent string up while saying “It’s like a line. Like a line that you feel in your finger right now. It’s small but it’s strong. It’s unseen but it can be feel. Open your eyes now...” As Sungmin opened his eyes wide, Kyuhun dropped a ring from above along the line until it slid down on Sungmin’s ring finger.
“Kyuhyun? This is...”
“I know. It looks exactly like the one that your parents gave you long time ago. But it’s different. Look at the inner side. I made the jeweler engrave something inside.” Sungmin took the ring off to observe the inner side. There, a few letters carved beautifully...
It said ‘C.K.Y♥L.S.M’
“Kyuhyun... This is...beautiful... Thank you...”
“I know” Kyuhyun said proudly, “But it’s not free. I demand something in return.”
“What is that?”
“Give me your ring, the one that looks exactly like this. I’ll keep it. Proof of our relationship. That will remind me of you whenever and wherever I am. You have to wear this ring.” He took the ring from Sungmin and placed it back in Sungmin’s ring finger. Then he untied the string around it. “Our fans wouldn’t find it out. They have already known that you have been wearing a ring since a long time ago. Even our members and Manager hyung wouldn’t realize it”
Sungmin smiled brightly, “Deal”
“This time I can only give you that, but believe me, someday I’ll take the ring back and replace it with our engaged ring... Promise me you will wait for me?”
“I will, I will...”
“Pinky swear?” Kyuhyun shoved his little finger in front of their faces.
“Pinky swear!” Sungmin said cheerfully while entwined his little finger to Kyuhyun’s.
“Kyuhyun?”
“Hmmm?”
“I had no idea you could be such romantic...”
“Umm... I watch TV drama lately.”
“Oh Kyu you ruin the moment...”
Kyuhyun smiled seeing his hyung’s pout. The younger one stole a quick peck on the older’s lips that made him blushed hard. But before he could complain about it, Kyuhyun dragged him inside and back to their room. “Let’s go inside before we get a flu, hyung. We need to rest...” Sungmin nodded and let himself be dragged by his new lover.
“Or we can have some fun if you don’t want to sleep yet…” Kyuhyun whispered naughtily to his ear.
“Kyuhyun!!!!” That teasing sentence did nothing good to Sungmin’s flushed face. In fact it was worsen him.
The magnae’s joyful laugh could be heard along the way. Their life couldn’t get better...

Unfading Love 1: Undercover
“Yoboseyo...”
“Kyu Oppa~...” A cheerful girl voice heard on the other line of phone.
“Oh... Yoona?”
“Oppa, when will you go on a date with me?? Seriously, it has been 2 weeks and you have cancelled our date for about 5 or 6 times already!!!”
Kyuhyun could sense that Yoona was pouting even though he didn’t see her “Okay, okay, relax... First, you have to understand me, you know, Super Junior are preparing for Super Show 3 concert and that means we need more time, a lot more time to practice dancing and singing. Second, that’s not a date, I promised to hang out with you, but not a date.”
“Yeah, yeah... Sooner or later it will become a date...” Yoona said lazily.
“Whatever...” Kyuhyun was too tired to argue with her.
“How about this Saturday? You are free, aren’t you?”
“Let me check it first... Huumm, okay Saturday night. Dinner, I’ll pick you up at seven, how about it?”
“Yaiyyy!!!” Kyuhyun had to pull the phone away from his ear because of an extremely excited fangirl yelled into the phone.
Gosh, I can be deaf if she keeps her tone high like that. Kyuhyun said to himself.
“Alright then, see you soon Oppa~” with that she hang up the phone. Kyuhyun sighed in relief.
Yoona was a nice girl. She had a pretty face with a good and sexy body shape. She could dance and sing well. She spoke politely, acted nicely. She was perfect. A lot of men had been chasing over her. But why, why Kyuhyun couldn’t have interest on her more than just a friend?
I just can’t get over you, Sungmin Hyung... I’m still deeply in love with you...Yoona is sweet, but not as sweet as you. She has good behaviors, but no one could compare your kindness and sincerity... If only you could love me back, Hyung...
###################################
“Donghae, may I borrow your b---“ Sungmin stopped his step abruptly when he saw Donghae sobbing on his bed in sitting position, while his hand caressed a picture frame lovingly.
“I’m sorry Hae, I don’t know that...you... I’ll come back later...” Sungmin turned to leave Donghae, but the letter stopped him.
“It’s okay Min Hyung...” Donghae wiped his tears away, “Come, what do you need from me?”
“It... I... I just want to borrow your book. Eunhyukkie said that you had a good book about outer space...” Sungmin said as he sat beside Donghae on the bed.
“The one that discusses about aliens existence??” Donghae’s sad face turned into a bright one, his weak sound turned into lively tone once he mentioned the word ‘alien’. That was amazing how his mood swing took over him.
Aish, this kid and his obsession about aliens... “Uumm... I’m not sure, I just feel like reading a book about Black Hole, Galaxy, Stars...”
“Oh I see, but that book also mentions about aliens! Here, it is very interesting Hyung!” Donghae took a thick book on the shelf near his bed and handed it to Sungmin, “Can we discuss about it after you finish reading the book?” his face was full of hope.
“Eh... Yeah, sure...”
“Great!” He clapped his hands like a little boy who just got a present.
Sungmin laughed at his bandmate’s unique attitude. However, his attention distracted soon as he saw a thing that Donghae had been holding possessively ever since he entered the room, “Hae, may I ask you something?”
“Nee, Min Hyung what is it?”
“Is that Kibum’s picture that you are holding in?” He pointed a picture frame in Donghae’s hand.
Donghae’s voice and expression soften, “...Yes...”
“You miss him, don’t you? Is that the reason why you cry?”
“Yes, Hyung. I miss him so much... You miss him too, right? Every member too... I guess I just become too sensitive lately...” he smiled sadly.
“You love him...as a lover, don’t you?”
“Yes... W- Wha -Whaat??” Donghae startled for his hyung’s sudden question, and for the honest anwer that had just escaped from his mouth.
“I know, Hae. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone else. And I’m not mad at you. Honestly, I feel sympathy for you two.” Because I’m in the same boat like you... Sungmin smiled while softly squeezing his dongsaeng’s hand, a silent symbol of reassurance.
“B-but how do you k-know it, Hyung?” Donghae asked, still in his surprised tone.
“Well, maybe it’s because of my sixth sense? Hehe...” Sungmin joked, trying to make the fish-lover more comfortable.
“Ow Hyung... Hahaha...”
“You can share your burden with me, if you want to...”
“Thanks Hyung...” the younger man gave a sincere smile to his hyung. He felt grateful that Super Junior had a caring, loving, and understanding member like Sungmin. He knew the fact that not many people would accept when of his or her friend has a love story with another person in the same gender. Well, not in Eastern countries...
Seeing that Donghae began to relax, Sungmin braved himself to ask, “Hae, I’m sorry for asking you this, but my curiosity has won over me, have you... Have ever regretted loving him? I mean... Now that you two are apart...”
“No. To love someone and to be loved by someone you love is the greatest thing that happened in life, in my life. Even though my time with him was short, I would never regret it. Those were the best days of my life.” Donghae spoke in melancholic yet strong aura. His eyes glued to Kibum’s photo while his lips were curving a smile.
“Even when he was far away from you? Even when you couldn’t reach and see him?”
“Yes. Even when his body was far away from me, I know his heart was still in here, and it will always be here...” Donghae pointed to his own chest. “I believe, sometime, somehow, we’ll be together again. Maybe later, when we are not idols anymore... I don’t know... But one thing I know for sure, I’ll be waiting for him when he comes back...”
“Are those worth it? All your tears, your sadness, your pain... Is love worth all those?”
“Yes Hyung. I’m willing to give all my life to struggle for my love...” he said firmly. Sungmin could see the love, the faith, the hope that Donghae had, and he was amazed by that.
This boy… He has been separated from his lover yet he still fights for his love… Aish! How could I be so stupid! Idiot Sungmin! Why wouldn’t I fight for my own love? Kyuhyun loves me, and I love him, silly Sungmin! Kyuhyun has not been on a date with any girl until now. Well, 2 weeks ago he said he would date Yoona, but they have not done it yet. I know it. He still loves me! We can talk about it, and if Kyuhyun still wants to be with me after he realizes all the consequences, we will find the way… Yes, we will find the way…
Sungmin looked his dongsaeng with a grin on his face, his big round eyes widened from the realization of love and hope that grew at that time, “I wish you luck then... You know you have my support.”
“Thank you Min Hyung...for being such a nice and care brother...”
“And thank you Hae, for sharing your story with me. That means a lot for me.” Sungmin smiled while patting Donghae’s shoulder, and then he got up, leaving a confused Donghae alone in his room.
Sungmin jumped happily from the 11th dorm to the 12th floor, to his and Kyuhyun’s shared bedroom, his heart beat faster when he got a glimpse of the man he loved from a slight open door. He tried to calm his fast heart beat. He exhaled and inhaled, exhaled and inhaled again to gain the serenity. His lips curved into a smile, a line of pink tint on his cheeks as heat came from the excitement.
I’m going to tell him now. Go Sungmin, go! I can do it! Sungmin told himself. Then he put his hand on the door and pushed it till it fully open.
“Kyuhyun-ah!”
“Hey, Sungmin hyung…”
“Kyuhyun, I-“ but before Sungmin could finish his sentence, the younger cut him.
“Hyung, could you help me? I’m going to have a dinner with Yoona tonight, what do you think I should wear?” Kyuhyun asked him while observing his wardrobe, not even looked at the older.
That sentence not only cut his words, but also cut his heart. All his hope was gone hearing Kyuhyun’s question. Shocked, he dropped the book he had borrowed from Donghae, “U-uh? Hmm…”
The thumb sound made the younger turn around to face him, “What’s wrong Hyung?”
“Nah, it’s OK. I’m just careless. Silly me…” he forced a chuckle while grabbing the book. Silly me, not telling you my feelings earlier. Now I have to let you go… You will be better with Yoona anyway… No one will against you two… His grip on the book tightened while thinking about Yoona and Kyuhyun.
“So, do you think it’s okay to wear only shirt and jeans? I don’t have to be formal, do I?”
“No, you don’t have to… Just wear anything that makes you comfortable… Any clothes will look good on you…” Sungmin answered faintly. You always look good, Kyu… You are perfect… He thought bitterly.
“Alright then…” Kyuhyun turned to his wardrobe again to search for the proper clothes. The sharp eyes of Kyuhyun caught the sad face of his hyung. The magnae felt the sudden change of his hyung, a while ago he entered the room cheerfully but 10 seconds later he began gloomy. Neither Kyuhyun knew the reason why, nor had any braveness to ask his hyung, so he just shrugged it off.
###################################
Kyuhyun kept his promise and brought Yoona to the mall.
“Oppa... I made you an apple pie... Here, try it!” She handed Kyuhyun a small tupperware box.
“You made it yourself? Wow... Thanks”
“I did. Try it oppa!” He took a small piece of the pie and ate it. “So, how is it? Do you like it?” she asked in expectation.
“Yes, it’s delicious...” But not as delicious as your pumpkin pie, Sungmin hyung... Yours is the best...
Kyuhyun smiled as a flash scene came across to his mind; a scene of Sungmin’s happy and proud expression while serving him the sweet pumpkin pie.
After he finished the little snack Yoona brought him, they continued to walk around the mall. Suddenly she shouted, “Oh dear, aren’t they cute~?”
“What are the cute things, Yoona?”
“Those plushies over there... They are so cute~” Yoona pointed out a display window of a plushie store. There, stood a lot kind of animal plushie; bunny, kitten, puppy, duck, mouse, monkey, cow, crocodile, and turtle. Despite there were so many plushies, Kyuhyun’s eyes automatically landed on the line of several cute bunnies.
“Right, the bunnies are so cute...” The cute bunnies...your favorite, Min hyung...
“No, not the bunnies, oppa... The puppies! The puppies are cuter than the bunnies~”
“Oh....” But I think the bunnies are the cutest... Guess that you have influenced me so much, Min hyung...
Kyuhyun giggled as a few scenes from the past danced in his mind; a scene of Sungmin cuddling his bunny plushie to sleep, a scene of Sungmin cheerfully bouncing after someone had given him a bunny plushie, a scene of Sungmin playing and talking to his bunnies like a little girl whenever he got bored, a scene of Sungmin tickling Kyuhyun with his bunny to stop him from playing Starcraft...
“Oppa, I want some ice cream~” Yoona’s words snapped him into reality.
“Huh? Okay. What flavor do you want?”
“Strawberry flavor, the sweet one!”
“I’ll get it for you. Wait here, OK?” Strawberry flavor, just what you like, hyung...
And again, Kyuhyun couldn’t stop himself from imagining a scene when he shared a cup of strawberry ice cream with his most beloved hyung.
What’s wrong with me? Even when I’m with a girl, a beautiful-nice-kind-perfect girl, all I can think about is you, Sungmin hyung... Everything around me always reminds me of you... I simply can’t get you out of my head...
###################################
When finally Kyuhyun and Yoona decided to take a dinner, unexpectedly they met 2 familiar figure...a cute, tiny, beautiful girl entwined hand with a tall, thin, handsome man.
“Sunny?? Changmin??”
“Sunny unnie!! Changmin oppa!!”
“Yoona!! Kyuhyun oppa!!”
“Kyuhyun-ah?? Yoona??”
While the two young girls greeted each other cheerfully -without any clumsiness, maybe because they had discussed their dates back on their own dorm before-, the remain two young men got startled about the fact that they met each other on that place, and got even more shocked when they saw each other’s companion.
“So Kyuhyun, are you going out with Yoona?” the magnae of ex-DBSK asked the magnae of Super Junior.
“Yes we are. This is our first time anyway...” Yoona said cheerfully, her right hand circling around Kyuhyun’s.
“Wow, I never thought that we could have double dates. This will be fun! Let’s sit together!” Sunny added.
Kyuhyun was too shocked to react. He couldn’t believe what he saw. When finally he could collect his soul back, he loosen himself from Yoona and moved in front of Sunny.
“I need to speak with Sunny-ssi for a moment, privately, please excuse us.” Kyuhyun spoke as he took Sunny’s arm and guided her out of the restaurant.
“Kyuhyun oppa, what’s wrong???” Sunny said in worried tone after Kyuhyun stopped dragging her outside the restaurant.
“Sunny, what are you doing here with CHANGMIN?” He emphasized the word.
“We’re hanging out, well you can call it a date, actually... Is there something wrong with that?”
“What? A date? Are you cheating on Sungmin hyung? How dare you!!” He spoke in angry tone. No one could hurt his Sungmin as long as he could prevent it.
“Huumm?? Excuse me?” a blank expression on Sunny’s face.
“You are in a relationship with Sungmin hyung, aren’t you?”
“No. Of course not! Sungmin oppa had said to the media that there was nothing more than friendship between us, and I had indirectly clarified that too. What makes you think like that, Kyu oppa?”
“So... There’s nothing between you two? But Sungmin hyung said that...” He was very confused.
“Oh, Kyu oppa, I think you know Sungmin oppa better than me... He must be kidding when he said that... He is a funny and cute person, always joking around with people... You know that, don’t you? He said you were his best friend. I’m surprised to see you asking me this question...”
“Are you... Really???”
“I swear oppa, there’s nothing between us...” Sunny stated clearly.
“Ah... I’m sorry Sunny... I’m so sorry...” He felt guilty for acting a bit rude to her.
“It’s alright oppa. But speaking of Sungmin oppa...” Sunny paused for a minute, unsure whether she should talk about his co-worker in Chunji Radio or not. “Well, never mind...”
“What is about Sungmin hyung?”
“No, nothing...”
“Come on, Sunny, you have to tell me... I’m not going to tell it to anybody else, okay?”
Sunny sighed, “I’m worried about him... He looks different lately, right? It seems that he becomes sadder, more quiet... And his smile...instead of his bright smiles, he only shows the bitter ones...”
“Have you ever asked him about that, Sunny?”
“Yes, I have. He said that it was about his romance. Sungmin oppa never told me the detailed story. But he said something about that he could not be together with the one he loved. Guess that the girl he loved didn’t love him back... I wonder who was the girl that broke Sungmin oppa’s heart. She must be a cruel girl!”
Kyuhyun dazed. He needed time to arrange every little puzzle of information to form a continuous story about what had happened between Sungmin and himself. He tried his best to think, and think, and think… And then, everything came in sense to him…
“Kyu oppa, I think we should go back to Changmin oppa and Yoona. I don’t want to have jealous eyes glaring at me for the rest of the day...”
“Woah... I don’t know that Changmin is a protective boyfriend...”
“Oppa~...” Sunny whined at him “You really like to tease people, don’t you?”
“Hahaha.. Okay, okay... And Sunny... Thanks for telling me this...”
“You are welcome, oppa. I hope you can help Sungmin oppa out of his problem.”
“I will, Sunny.... I will...” He smiled as a hope started to grow inside him.
###################################
“Kyu oppa, are you with me?”
“Eeh? What?”
“Kyu oppa, you have been spacing out again...”
“Uh? Umm... I’m sorry...”
“Is there something wrong?”
“No, nothing’s wrong. I’m just a little bit tired. Can we go home now?”
“Now? I thought we would go on watching movie first.”
“I’m sorry Yoona. Next time?”
Kyuhyun couldn’t act properly. His body was there, but not his mind. There were so many questions in his head.
Sungmin hyung, why did you lie to me? To whom does your heart belong to? Wait, you started acting weird-looked depressed-feeling sad-showing you bitter sweet smile since three weeks ago, it was the same time when I confessed to you. And you looked upset when I asked you about what should I wear on my dinner with Yoona… Does that mean...you feel the same thing towards me? Do you love me the way I love you, hyung? Is it me, the person that you love? But why did you push me away? Were you afraid of something? Did someone force you to reject me? Why did you tell Sunny that you could not be with me? I’m here, hyung... I’m here... Can’t you see me?? We can be together...
I have to find it out... I have to know the truth...
Then he planned something that could make Sungmin revealed his own feeling...
###################################
“Yoona, how are you, dear? ..........What are you doing now? ........... Really? I miss you too ........... Me? Thinking of you, honey ........... I’m wondering when we’ll meet again of course, hahaha .........” Kyuhyun spoke joyfully while holding his handphone, his face never fail to make a grin.
“Kyu, can do you the lovey-dovey conversation with your lover out there? I’m trying to study here...” Sungmin said, annoyed.
“Wait a minute, sweetie... “ Kyuhyun turned to face Sungmin “I’m sorry hyung, but this is also my room, right? You can just use your ear phone and continue your study, can’t you?” Kyuhyun ignored him and continue his action. “Yoona, I’m back ....... No, there’s nothing ......... Have you eaten your dinner, sweetheart? ......... Yes, I’d love too ......... ”
Sungmin couldn’t take it anymore. He left the room immediately and didn’t forget to slam the door first.
So you are jealous, huh, Sungmin hyung? A smirk on his face. I got you in my trap now...
Kyuhyun followed Sungmin right away, not before he grabbed something from his desk and put it on his pocket.
Sungmin had tried to be patient, he had tried to be a nice person. He wanted Kyuhyun to be happy, he was willing to give Kyuhyun whatever it took to make him smile. He would sacrifice his own happiness, and he had done it. He had abandoned his plan to confess to the younger. But he had never thought that it would be such a torture. It was just too much. He was only a human. A human who had the limit on his patience. He had agreed to let Kyuhyun go to another girl. But it didn’t mean that he had stopped loving him. No, he still loved him. He still and he always would. Sometimes love can be selfish too, and jealousy is one kind of selfishness. And that was it. He couldn’t stand still. If he had stayed in that room any longer, he would have been exploded. And that would make the situation get worse. He needed some time to be alone, to calm himself down, to think clearly and to soothe his heart. So he ran to the roof top without knowing that a man was silently stalking him.
###################################
“I hate you! I hate you! AAAARRGGHHHH.......I HATE YOOUUU.....!!!!!!” Sungmin yelled, let out his anger.
“Who do you hate, hyung?” A deep, husky voice startled him.
Sungmin turned around only to see a guy who would be the last person he wanted to meet at that time, “Kyuhyun, what are you doing HERE???”
“You do not answer a question with another question, hyung”
“Well, it’s none of your business”
“You hate me, don’t you?’
“Mind your own business, will you?” Sungmin sent him a dead glare. “I’m sleepy. I’m going to the room now”
“Hyung wait, I need to talk to you” Kyuhyun gripped his wrist.
“What are you doing? Let go off me!” Sungmin tried to break the hold to no avail. He didn’t know that Kyuhyun had such a strong grip.
“You are jealous, aren’t you?”
“No. Why should I?”
“If that so, could you tell me why are you so pissed off?”
“I’m not.”
“Yes, you are. Admit it. Geez, hyung why do you always lie to me? First, you lied to me about Sunny.”
Sungmin shocked, “Y-you... You know?”
“Yes, I do. I met Sunny a couple days ago and she was dating Changmin!”
“I-I’m sorry...” his voice was soft, the effect after regretted his mistake.
“And then you lie to me about your own feeling. I know you are jealous. So jealous about me.”
“No, I’m not!” his voice rose again.
“Yes, you are.”
“I’m not!”
“You are.”
“I’m not!”
“You are.”
“I’m not!”
“You are.”
“I’m not!”
“You aren’t”
“I am!”
“Oh...so finally you speak it up” Kyuhyun said in a satisfied and mocking tone.
Sungmin didn’t realize that Kyuhyun played with the words to trick him, “....... Um? Wait a minute... I-I mean I’m not”
“Yes, you are hyung. You are jealous because you love me.”
Sungmin was tired with the word-game and he admitted, “Aish~ I hate you! Fine. I’m jealous. Happy?” He pouted cutely. “I’m infatuated by you. I love you, but I know I don’t have any right to be mad at you since I’ve rejected you. Now seeing you with someone else, I can’t help myself but to be jealous. I have to accept this, I know. I should be a good friend, giving you support. I should be a nice hyung, happy when you find your lover. It’s just.... Aish~” he ruffled his own hair in distress.
A smile formed on Kyuhyun’s face. He hurriedly hugged Sungmin tight. “I love you too, hyung. I love you. I love you.”
Sungmin pulled away from the hug, “Stop it. Don’t play with me, Cho Kyuhyun! Who do you think you are? Do you think you can date many girls and boys and break their hearts when you’re bored? Be a gentleman, Kyuhyun! You have Yoona now, be loyal to her and stop giving me hope!”
“But Yoona isn’t my lover...”
“Hello? I have ears, you know? I know you’re going out with her. And what about that intimate phone conversation?” Sungmin said in mocking tone.
“Well...hahaha... I didn’t know you could easily be fooled like that...”
“Whaaat?”
“That was fake, hyung. The phone was fake. I didn’t call her. I just wanted to know how you would react.” Kyuhyun chuckled, “And about going out with Yoona, yes I had once. But do you know that was a fail?”
“Why?”
“Because...” he caressed Sungmin’s cheek tenderly while saying, “Because all I could thinking about at that time was you. When I saw everything with pink, when I saw bunny plushie, when I ate strawberry ice cream, even when I saw Yoona I could only imagine you and you only, hyung... Yoona was quite disappointed because I had been spacing out almost all the time.”
Sungmin’s cheeks turned a bright pink, “You are such a bad person, Kyuhyunnie...” he gave him a soft slap on his chest.
Kyuhyun pull him into his embrace once again, “But you love me, Sungmin hyung...”
Sungmin giggled, “Yes, I do, I really do.” Just then he remembered his conversation with Eeteuk, about the leader’s concerned for what might happen to both of them, “Wait, Kyu... We can’t...” the pink-lover pushed him slightly, but far enough to create a distance between them. Sungmin had to make sure that Kyuhyun was ready for their relationship, that he was as willing as Sungmin to go on the battle for their love.
“Why can’t we? What now?” Kyuhyun asked in confusion. He just said that he loved me ten seconds ago. What now? Will he reject me again?
“This love... It’s forbidden. It’s not right.”
“I don’t care about it!”
“Kyuhyun, listen to me. I want you to be happy. I want you to success. If people find out about this, everything will be difficult. How will other people think about you? How about your family? Your life, your study, your career will be in danger. I don’t want you to get troubled. I don’t mind if that happens to me, but I won’t let you suffer. That was why I didn’t accept you earlier.”
“Hyung, what’s the meaning of life when I can’t get my true happiness? What’s the meaning of richness and success when I have no one to share my love with? All I need is you. This is my life. I have my own right to decide whatever I want to. Hyung, please... If you want it undercover, then it’s okay, we can hide it. No one will know about us. Not even our members and family. Agree?”
“Are you serious? You want to risk your life for me? For our love?”
“I’m positive, hyung...”
“But...but...”
“What should I say to you to make you understand, hyung?” Kyuhyun took Sungmin’s hands and kissed his backpalms, “I love you, Saranghaeyo, Wo ai ni, Aishiteru, Ich liebe dich, Te amo, Je t’aime...”
Sungmin smiled. At that moment all his anxiety and fear were gone. He knew that Kyuhyun loved him, and he meant it. They would fight for their love. But still, they should be careful on each step they would take, “Then we should not do any intimate action when there are other people around us. We should not do too much skinship during our performances.”
“I think we have been done too little skinship all these years. Near zero, honestly...”
“Oh come on Kyu, we can’t let our fans thinking that there’s something more than just friendship and brotherhood between us... If SME realizes that, it will endanger us...”
“Okay, okay Min hyung... Then I will do the fanservice with Ryeowook and Zhou Mi gege. KyuWook and QMi are more popular lately...”
Sungmin wasn’t sure why, but he felt a little bit sad thinking about KyuWook and QMi couple, “And I will do more skinship with Eunhyukkie and Wookie... EunMin and MinWook are always available...” was his reply to Kyuhyun.
“But don’t make me too jealous, hyung... I don’t want to do something stupid because of my selfishness.” Upon hearing those words, Sungmin’s disappointment vanished. Jealousy is a part of love, and he was glad that he was not the only one who could be jealous.
“Don’t worry, I will make it up to you when there’s just the two of us...” Sungmin didn’t realize what those sentences could bring himself into...
Kyuhyun, being a polite dongsaeng he was, teased his hyung, “So now since we’re alone here... That means I can hold you like this?” Kyuhun held him tight until they could hear each other heart beat.
“And I can see deep into your eyes like this?” He tilted Sungmin’s chin up and saw those big round eyes, shining with warmth and affection.
“And I can kiss you like this?” The taller one kissed the other’s forehead gently “And this?” Kyuhyun continued to kiss the tip of his nose.
“Kyuuu~” Sungmin buried himself in the magnae’s chest, hiding his redden face.
“Hahaha... Are you shy, hyung? I only kissed your forehead and nose, how if I kiss your lips?”
“Oh shut up, Kyu!”
“Sometimes you are just too funny...” Kyuhyun laughed silently. They stayed silent like that for a few minutes, savoring the moment.
“I think that’s a good point when Manager hyung gave me single dance performance with the dance girls in SS3, and gave you duet with Seohyun in SM Town Concert, that will distract fans’ attention about KyuMin.” Sungmin broke the silence as he pulled himself from the hug.
“Yeah, good for SME, good for ELFs, good for fans, bad for me. You made me jealous, you know?”
“You made me jealous too when you sang with Seohyun, saw her face lovingly, hold her hand, touched her head, and you sang whole-heartedly as if you really loved her.”

“I was not the one who danced seductively and showed his sexy toned abs to the ELFs all over the world. I was not the one whose body touched by four perverted dance girls. Gosh, they touched every inch of your body!”

“I could do nothing. That’s what Manager hyung asked me to.”
“Yeah...” A hint of disappointment on his word.
Sungmin tried to calm him down, “Kyu... They can touch my body, but it’s only you who can touch my heart...” But Kyuhyun was still in his stiff mode, frowning.
When Kyuhyun couldn’t be deal with soft way, Sungmin tried the crude one, “I was not the one who uploaded a romantic photo in bed in his SINA update so that the fans in the whole world could saw it!” Sungmin tried to defend himself.

“I didn’t do that, it was Zhou Mi gege, and I had no idea that he would upload that picture!”
“Yeah, but you liked it. You liked cuddling with him in bed...” Sungmin was sullen.
“Just because you didn’t allow me to cuddle with you... If I could choose, I would prefer to cuddle with you... And I only love him as a brother, you know that...”
“Yeah...” That was Sungmin’s turn to be stubborn.
“Min hyung, you know I only love you...”
“Prove it...” Sungmin demanded.
“Okay, close your eyes”
“Eh??”
“Just close your eyes, hyung. I won’t hurt you” Sungmin obeyed him, “Don’t open them until I ask you.”
“Do you know? Between two people who are in love with each other, or we can call them soul mate, there is a feeling that bond them together, so when one person is happy, the other feels it too. And when latter is sad, the other also feel the same.” Kyuhyun said while playing with Sungmin’s right hand. He tied a transparent string around Sungmin’s fourth finger, he positioned it in vertical-straight position and pulled the transparent string up while saying “It’s like a line. Like a line that you feel in your finger right now. It’s small but it’s strong. It’s unseen but it can be feel. Open your eyes now...” As Sungmin opened his eyes wide, Kyuhun dropped a ring from above along the line until it slid down on Sungmin’s ring finger.
“Kyuhyun? This is...”
“I know. It looks exactly like the one that your parents gave you long time ago. But it’s different. Look at the inner side. I made the jeweler engrave something inside.” Sungmin took the ring off to observe the inner side. There, a few letters carved beautifully...
It said ‘C.K.Y♥L.S.M’
“Kyuhyun... This is...beautiful... Thank you...”
“I know” Kyuhyun said proudly, “But it’s not free. I demand something in return.”
“What is that?”
“Give me your ring, the one that looks exactly like this. I’ll keep it. Proof of our relationship. That will remind me of you whenever and wherever I am. You have to wear this ring.” He took the ring from Sungmin and placed it back in Sungmin’s ring finger. Then he untied the string around it. “Our fans wouldn’t find it out. They have already known that you have been wearing a ring since a long time ago. Even our members and Manager hyung wouldn’t realize it”
Sungmin smiled brightly, “Deal”
“This time I can only give you that, but believe me, someday I’ll take the ring back and replace it with our engaged ring... Promise me you will wait for me?”
“I will, I will...”
“Pinky swear?” Kyuhyun shoved his little finger in front of their faces.
“Pinky swear!” Sungmin said cheerfully while entwined his little finger to Kyuhyun’s.
“Kyuhyun?”
“Hmmm?”
“I had no idea you could be such romantic...”
“Umm... I watch TV drama lately.”
“Oh Kyu you ruin the moment...”
Kyuhyun smiled seeing his hyung’s pout. The younger one stole a quick peck on the older’s lips that made him blushed hard. But before he could complain about it, Kyuhyun dragged him inside and back to their room. “Let’s go inside before we get a flu, hyung. We need to rest...” Sungmin nodded and let himself be dragged by his new lover.
“Or we can have some fun if you don’t want to sleep yet…” Kyuhyun whispered naughtily to his ear.
“Kyuhyun!!!!” That teasing sentence did nothing good to Sungmin’s flushed face. In fact it was worsen him.
The magnae’s joyful laugh could be heard along the way. Their life couldn’t get better...
