Summary: Sungmin pretends from being Kyuhyun's fiancee, to his his sister, then back from being his fiancee...then his wife?
---------------
“They succeeded in that, since at that time Kyujong went abroad and they have their own house. She’s been keeping him inside their house. She treated him like her own child because she couldn’t recover from the lost of her baby that time,”
“What’s his name? Sunmi-shii’s son…”
The doctor looked at me with that I-know-you-know look. “Sungmin,”
I knew it. He thought with a bit of relief.
“But unexpectedly, Kyujong decided to go home…” Mrs. Kim told Sungmin.
“Why are you telling me this now?” He asks, completely confused about the whole situation.
“I wanted to apologize for giving you a wrong information…your dad didn’t want you to live a sucky life…I thought it would be better if you lived under the Cho estate,” Mrs. Kim answered. “Sunha also asked me this…to make you the son she lost, Kyuhyun’s brother, if you take the place of Kyuhyun’s brother and make it look like you didn’t die, you’ll live peacefully, but she didn’t succeed in that, well she was about to…but they overheard one of the phone calls we made,”
“But I never met Kyuhyun when I was a kid,”
“Well, it happened before you two can meet,”
“Sunha didn’t want Kyujong to mistreat Sungmin if so just because he’s the son of the man she loved and not his so she decided that Jiwon take him again, but unfortunately Jiwon got into an accident so Mrs. Kim ended up taking him instead,”
“Ryeowook’s mom?”
“Yeah…”
“That part where I said I took you to Jiwon’s mother was true….” Mrs. Kim told Sungmin with a grin. “Sungmin, aren’t you happy?” She asks worriedly with a tone of a mother’s.
“I am…but I don’t think Kyuhyun will be happy if he finds out,”
“Why do you say that?”
“He’ll blame his mom for everything,”
“I don’t think he would do that, in fact I think he’ll be happier than sad,”
“But-“
“SUNGMIN HYUNG!!!!!!” Ryeowook came yelling, almost scaring the hell out of Sungmin but ofcourse his mother is used to that. He jumped on to Sungmin and hugged him tightly.
“Wookie! I missed you!” Sungmin returned it with a sweet smile instead of a complaint.
“I’ll leave you two then, I have to meet up with Doctor Park,” Mrs. Kim says as she smiles on the message on her cell phone.
From: Doctor Park
I told a story to Kyuhyun…a very interesting story…
From: Mrs. Kim
I told one to Sungmin too…
“OMG OMG KYUHYUN WOULD BE SO HAPPY!!!” Ryeowook yells again, overly excited. “What’s wrong?” He then calmed down when he noticed Sungmin frowning. “Sungmin hyung?”
“I’m not so sure…about that…”
“What do you mean?! Of course he’ll be happy!”
“But Ryeowook…from what your mom told me…I don’t think he will be still,” Sungmin said, trying to convince Ryeowook that Kyuhyun would not be happy hearing this. “You wouldn’t understand because you don’t know what happened-“
“Oh I know! My mom told me before!”
“Exactly-wait, what?”
“My mom told me everything before! When was that…? Oh, when I was a kid! When she introduced me to Kyuhyun!”
Sungmin was simple speechless. “I thought we were friends…”
“Huh? Oh! We are!”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I forgot…” Ryeowook replied immediately with a smile. Ofcourse Sungmin won’t buy that. Knowing Ryeowook, he would’ve immediately told him the whole story. So Sungmin stared at him, trying make the eye contact make him feel guilty. “Okay fine, my mom told me to zip it,” Oh, it worked.
Sungmin can only sigh. Besides, there’s no point getting mad now since it’s in the past already. “Wait…that day…is that why you approached me? I mean when you and I first-“
“Oh that…no, I didn’t know that it was you…I only knew the story,”
“Oh, I see,”
“Sungmin hyung, we should meet Kyu!”
“Um…I don’t think it’s a good idea to meet him right now. Isn’t he mad at me?”
“Of course he is,”
“My point exactly,”
“But he really wants to see you,” Ryeowook told him with a sweet smile. It sounded true enough, especially when it came from Ryeowook since he’d known Kyuhyun for years now.
“Yeah, if you say so, but-“
“Sungmin hyung!”
“But I think now is not the right time,”
“No, now is the right time!” He insists then he received a message. His face lightened up when he read it. “Yesung’s here! Come on!” He yells and grabbed my hand, pulling me immediately to the door and running outside. He really seemed excited. “Yesungie!” He called out to Yesung who’s getting off of the car and he sees Sungmin.
“Well, well, well, Sungmin,” He greets with a smile. “Long time no see! You don’t know what I went through because you left Kyuhyun with us,”
“I can imagine,” Sungmin replied.
“Come on, get in the car,”
“Huh? Where are we going?”
“Just get in the car,” He said as he pulls Sungmin to the car. He doesn’t know when Ryeowook got there but he was standing beside the door, jumping up and down.
“Come on hyung! Get in the car!”
This couple is weird.
When the doctor was done, he didn’t expect much on Kyuhyun’s reaction. Kyuhyun chuckled until he couldn’t control his laughter anymore and he bows his head. Well, that’s enough for a reaction. “You remember this much?” Kyuhyun asks the doctor.
“They wrote in their diary…I just happen to see them,” The doctor answered with an obvious excuse as he sips from his coffee.
And Kyuhyun continues to laugh. “Well that’s stupid…I guess that was more tragic than this,”
“I don’t know your definition of tragic young boy…I also don’t know why you need to know this…but whatever it is, blaming isn’t always the best choice, nor is giving up…if there was one thing I learned from the three of them…it has to be trust. Surely it isn’t easy to trust people but if that’s what left to you, then you use it to the fullest,” The doctor explained. Kyuhyun pauses for a moment to think. Whatever happened in the past, it isn’t something he can change.
Same for him and Sungmin. But everything isn’t in the past yet, it’s happening in the present, and he can still change it. And he smiles. “Nice to meet you doctor,” He stands up, did a 90 degree bow then left without a word.
“People these days…”
“This is kidnapping,” Sungmin lets them know. “Really…atleast tell me where we are going!”
“I told you several times where going to meet Kyuhyun!” Ryeowook yells at him.
Sungmin then glares at him. “Stop the car or I’ll jump off the window,”
“No,” Ryeowook insists with a pout.
“Yesung, stop that car,” Sungmin turns to Yesung instead.
Yesung looked at the mirror reflecting Sungmin and sees how serious he was. He thinks for a moment. “Yesung,” Sungmin calls again.
Yesung sighed then pulled in beside the sidewalk earning a gasp from Ryeowook. He unlocks the doors and let Sungmin out even though he knows Ryeowook would probably kill him. “You let him out! Yesung, you let him-“
“Yes, yes, baby, I know,” He taps Ryeowook’s back trying to calm him down.
“I wonder where he’s going…” Ryeowook says looking at Sungmin behind, surprising Yesung. Well, it looks like they thought of the same thing after all.
“I don’t know…I bet Kyuhyun knows,” Yesung replied.
“Of course he knows!”
Sungmin doesn’t know though. He just walked on his own. He just walked miles without knowing when he’s stopping. “Seems like you’re a lost cat again…” He whispers to himself. He turned beside him and smiled at the sun slowly setting in front of him. “So beautiful…” He breathes with a wide smile.
He stays there for a while. Thinking knowing everything doesn’t do any help. Well, it did, at the fact that they’re not brothers but…it did no help any less. He was relieved for a moment but there came another problem he realized. If Kyuhyun knew about this, he probably won’t care but he cares.
Kyuhyun. Speaking of Kyuhyun. “I wonder how he’s doing…” And he looks around as if he can find him somewhere. He decides to go to that place in the end since he doesn’t remember the way to Kyuhyun’s house anymore. He walked slowly, taking his time to observe the reality he’s living in.
He imagines him and Kyuhyun, walking hand in hand. It ain’t so bad but the thing is it may never happen. It isn’t like he doesn’t want to but they can’t. After all that happened he can’t. He was happy that the company wasn’t going bankrupt so he wants it to stay that way. He doesn’t even know if going back is the right thing to do. Seohyun just insists it is. Really, why did he listen to that girl?
He felt like an idiot laughing at himself now. “What am I doing in a cemetery?” He asks. If it was some kind of a joke because its Halloween well it doesn’t make sense but that doesn’t make it less funny in his part.
“The same question for me,” He hears him. He hears him behind him. He wasn’t startled but he can’t hide the fact that he was shocked and he suddenly became emotional. He wants to look at him but his body won’t turn around. “I wonder…why I am in the cemetery…” He talks again. Not that Sungmin was complaining; he missed that voice. He missed that beautiful voice so much.
He began sniffing and he slapped himself mentally for being emotional at this time. But he can’t bear it. “K-Kyu…hyun…” He turns around saying his name, his eyes wet. He wanted to look away but he can’t.
“Hi,” Kyuhyun breathes, smiling at him.
Sungmin broke in sobs, but he wasn’t keeping his head down nor covering his face. He was just standing there; he wanted to look at Kyuhyun. He wants to see Kyuhyun look at him. It first started with simple small steps until he realized he was running and he feels Kyuhyun again with his embrace. It was all so sudden, like he doesn’t know what’s going on. All he knows is, he can feel Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun can feel him. This is Kyuhyun with him. Kyuhyun. His Kyuhyun. Sungmin’s Kyuhyun and no one else.
He broke the emotional bond with him taking a step back but his hands don’t leave Kyuhyun. “I’m sorry…I’m so sorry Kyu…I didn’t know-“ Sungmin said in between sobs.
“Shh, Sungmin, it’s okay,”
“No, you don’t know what happened, I-“
“I know,” He told him and Sungmin looks at him, confused. “I know, I know everything. I heard it from one of my mom’s friends, I know and it’s okay…”
“But…” Sungmin interrupts. “It’s not okay…Kyu-“
“It’s okay alright? We’re not brothers so it’s fine. I’m free to love you now, we’re free to love each other…I missed you so much,” He says, pulling Sungmin to a tight embrace.
“But Kyu-“
“Ssh…let it go,”
“We’re cousins,”
Okay stop. Wait a minute.
Kyuhyun lets go of him and looked at him, shocked. Sungmin’s isn’t surprised one bit with Kyuhyun looking at him with a ‘WHAT?!’ face. “We’re cousins Kyu…” He repeats again.
“I…didn’t think of that,” Kyuhyun said, taking a step back and putting his hands on his hips.
“That’s a problem,”
“Yeah, that might be a problem,”
“What do we do? There’s no point in like…investigate again and try to find a way to make us not cousins because…your mom and my mom are twins…we’re cousins,” He repeats again. Kyuhyun thinks Sungmin is numb. It hurts him so much if he keeps repeating “We’re cousins,”
“Okay okay! Stop saying it all over and over again…you know what? Here’s what we do…we won’t care,” Kyuhyun said, putting an arm around Sungmin’s shoulders and pulling him close. “Okay? We won’t care at all because I’ve had enough of storytelling. I don’t even wanna know how our parents became twins,”
“That’s getting overboard,”
“I know, so we’re not caring, okay cupcake?”
“Makes me hungry…” Sungmin said, looking at him straight in the eyes, doing the…puppy eyes.
“I know you missed me,” Kyuhyun tells him as he spun Sungmin around so they face each other. “Then I’ll feed you,” He said sweetly, leaning in closely. He lifts Sungmin’s chin up and sweetly kissing his lips. So gently that Sungmin feels like they were actually floating as he closes his eyes.
Kyuhyun wraps an arm around Sungmin’s waist pulling him closely and Sungmin is just willing to happily savor the taste of Kyuhyun’s mouth lips. In a lifetime, he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care how long. As long as Kyuhyun is there. As long Kyuhyun is there with Sungmin. As long as they’re together. Everyday will be the happiest moment of their lives.
“I’m gonna kill Cho Kyuhyun…what kind of CEO will not go to a meeting?!” Poor Gyuri.
It was Sunday morning in California when both Tiffany and Jessica were surprised at Seohyun’s sudden appearance inside the house. “That was fast,” Jessica says.
Seohyun simply smiled at her and she continued walking. Jessica and Tiffany followed her by looking until she stopped beside their father who was quietly reading a newspaper at the couch and sipping on his coffee. “Welcome home dear,” He says without even looking at her.
Seohyun showed him a letter and was about time he looked up at her. “I’m taking business,” She tells him. “I’m shifting my course,”
“Why so sudden?”
Seohyun smiled at him again. “No special reason,”
“That’s creepy…” Tiffany whispers and Jessica nods.
“YAH!!!” Ryeowook yells, running around the house and tripping almost every second.
“What happened?” Yesung came running worriedly at the living room after hearing Ryeowook’s yell. “It’s so early in the morning and-who’s that?” He asks with a plain expression while pointing at the little girl Ryeowook finally caught in his arms.
“Oh her? Her name’s Hyun Young! Say hi to Yesung appa Hyun Young~” Ryeowook says with a giggle while waving the little girl’s hand.
Yesung only smiled at her. “Whose daughter is that?”
“Oh, she’s an orphan but Sungmin wants to keep her!”
“Then why is she here?”
“Sungmin hyung and Kyu will get her later, they had papers to sign,” And Ryeowook continues to play with the girl.
“WE’RE HERE!!!” Eunhyuk and Donghae’s sudden scream startled almost the whole house. “Where’s Hyun Joong-shii??? We’ve brought him toys!”
Yesung and Ryeowook looked at each other, not knowing where planet these people came from. “Who’s Hyun Joong?” Yesung finally asks them after getting enough of their foolishness.
“The baby! Oh is that him?!” Donghae smiles as he saw Hyun Young. “He looks like a girl,” He says, hesitating to approach.
“She’s a girl you idiot!” Ryeowook interrupts yelling.
“What?!”
“And her name is Hyun YOUNG not Hyun Joong! Geez,”
“I thought he was a boy! We even bought toys for baby boys….”
“These are unisex toys, Hae,”
“Oh really?” Donghae asks with a gasp.
“Yeah, I knew something like this would happen,” Eunhyuk said with a mocking smile and knelt down in front of Hyun Young, giving her a little ball. Unfortunately, Hyun Young threw it back at him.
“I hate this kid,” Eunhyuk said with a glare.
“Well, she hates you too,” Ryeowook told him while laughing.
Yesung then came walking from the kitchen with a phone in his hand. “Wookie, Kyuhyun said they won’t be coming earlier, they said they’re going somewhere first,”
“Oh that’s okay,” Ryeowook replied while standing up. “Where did they say they were going?” He asks entering the kitchen, checking their food for tonight’s party.
Yesung paused for a moment then answered. “…I forgot to ask,”
“Achoo!” Sungmin sneezes. Well, this is what happens when it’s cold outside…and inside the car.
“Are you cold? I told you we should visit tomorrow instead…” Kyuhyun told him worriedly.
“It’s okay, it’s Christmas tomorrow, I don’t think we’ll have the time,” Sungmin replied with a smile as he rubs his cold hands.
“I think this is it,” Kyuhyun said while craning his neck to a cemetery. “I can’t see the name properly,” With the snow covering it, ofcourse you won’t.
“I think this is the right place, come on!” Sungmin said enthusiastically as he opens the door then jumping off the car.
“Hey! Wait!” Kyuhyun yells while immediately parking the car and turning off the engine, following Sungmin as soon as he locked the car.
“Where is it?” Sungmin asks himself while concentrating on looking for a certain gravestone while walking. It was already dinner time, the snow was also falling and the gravestones are covered with snow so it’s impossible for them to find it. But Sungmin wants to find it, right now. To find them right now.
“Huh?” Then he stopped at a place he thinks that looks like a gazebo. There were two gravestones inside and because of the ceiling that’s protecting it, there weren’t any snows covering them. He slowly approaches the gravestones and recognized their names immediately.
“Yah! Sungmin! Huh?” Kyuhyun came yelling then stopped when he found Sungmin inside the gazebo. “Min?”
“I found them,” Sungmin said in almost a whisper and smiled. Kyuhyun slowly approached him and put his arm around his waist. Sungmin then took out a necklace from his pocket. Their necklaces. Where half was his and the other half was Kyuhyun’s. Where they were reunited again. He gently placed it in front of them and whispered, “Merry Christmas,” with a smile.
After a short moment of silence, Kyuhyun finally spoke. “Come on Min, it’s getting cold, and we don’t want to make the others wait for us,”
Sungmin turned around then chuckled. “I almost forgot about the party, come on, I can’t wait to taste Ryeowook’s cooking!” He continued as he walks to Kyuhyun and holding his hand. Hand in hand, they walked out together. “And my gift,” He looked at Kyuhyun, flashing his eyelashes and smiling cutely.
“Ofcourse you have a gift,” Kyuhyun replied with pinching his nose. “A very special gift, but you have to wait until we get home…” He continues with a smile.
“Okay…” He breathes, squeezing Kyuhyun’s hands, Kyuhyun’s warm hands. They can stay like this forever. They can now live peacefully with no people following them everywhere.
“I’m giving you the CEO position,” Kyuhyun announced in front of the board members. And Gyuri replied with a shocked expression.
“What?!” She yells.
“Take care of the company,” And Kyuhyun left the room without turning back.
Just them. The two of them. With their friends. Like normal people, like normal couple. Always together.
