Sungmin looked at Kyuhyun with a bothered expression. She feels very awkward especially now when he suddenly wanted her to be his pretend girlfriend. The latter squeezed their hands so that he could gain back her attention. Sungmin slowly nodded as she hung her head down; afraid of what reaction she would get from him. To her surprise, she got hugged and Kyuhyun rapidly wrapped his arms around her waist as his heart felt like coming out from his chest. The feeling was unusual and so was the aura. He wasn't taking advantage or anything but, during those minutes that he saw her, it seemed like paradise for him. It was like spotting an angel from heaven. Huskily, he thanked her before moving away so she would not take the wrong idea, "Thanks, I'll promise to do anything just so you would trust me."
She nodded, standing abruptly, taking the dishes away and placed it on the kitchen sink. "Will it be okay if you would come with me to my schedules?" Kyuhyun asked, pushing Sungmin away so that he can get to rest since she woke up early to think about food. The former blinked, "I was planning to go to my Oppa's house because I want to see the baby." She said, staring at him and what he was about to do. "We can go there during the afternoon, right? I can ask Seohyun to cancel all my appointments later this lunch," Kyuhyun requested as he started to wash the bowls and utensils since he was already late for his filming for Music bank.
"I'm also planning to go there by lunch but please, if you have something to do then, don't bother. It's okay if I come alone," Sungmin insisted, tying her hair in a low ponytail with a rubber band. "No, no, it's okay. Seohyun won't mind," Kyuhyun chuckled, pecking her on the cheek while the latter's eyes widened again. What the hell is happening to her life?
"Now, go get dressed so we can leave already," Kyuhyun pushed her with his hips as he brushed his hands with a dry towel nearby. Once Sungmin was in the room, she went out again, inquiring, "What am I going to wear?" The former chuckled, entered the own room, made his way to Sungmin's bags and opened it. "Your shirt is fine," He paused when he saw an unfamiliar photo in which Sungmin, another kid who seemed like her brother and their parents are included. "Here," He handed her a pair of black skinny jeans.
"I'll go out and after you finish, go to the other room but before that, let's finish our routines first," Kyuhyun ruffled her hair and exited the room with a gloomy face. When he saw the photo, he remembered his family; the day when his parents got divorced, when his sister got disowned and when his mother and father fought for him. He proceeded to his closet which was the guest room. On the other hand, Sungmin was done brushing her teeth and fixing her hair. She stared at the bathroom mirror and beamed, "Fighting!"
Walking to the next room, Sungmin giggled at the sight of Kyuhyun sulking. She walked and stopped in front of him, cupped his cheeks, "Why is my baby so glum?" The latter sighed and removed the hands warming up his cheeks, "Nothing, I just... don't feel... well."
"Then, stay here, you can do your activities when you feel a little better. Don't stress yourself too much," She sat down beside him, rested a hand on his shoulder. Kyuhyun shook his head and stood up, "We better get ready." He gloomily stated, opened his cabinet and took out a white long-sleeved polo before removing his tank top. The latter covered her eyes, tried to save her innocent eyes from everything she is witnessing now.
"Min, come here," Kyuhyun ordered while the latter complied, stiffly dragged her feet to come to him. He reached his arm out as he stole a glance from the confused Sungmin. "Fold and button it up," He chuckled when she pouted but obliged. She rolled the hem of the sleeve up until his shoulders. "You could have told me to," Sungmin finished the first arm and pulled the other to do same procedure. But she paused in a brief moment and reminisced, Kyuhyun called her Min. That name is only for Hyukjae and her parents to use but why does it feels like she wanted to hear it again.
Sungmin tipped her toes and started to button up the former's shirt. Once she was done, she fixed his collar and patted his shoulders, "Now, you look like a human." Kyuhyun stomped his foot and straightened his red hair. "How do I look?" He wiggled his brows and pinched Sungmin's nose as he went outside to finish his rituals. The latter took her flats, sat on the couch but before she could even wear it Kyuhyun went in front of her, smiled as he waved a pair of red pumps in his hand. "There is now way I'm wearing that!"
She screeched, rapidly wore her beige flats and tried to ran outside but unfortunately, Kyuhyun caught her and carried her bridal style. "Yah! Put me down!" Again, she hit him on the chest and started flailing her legs together. The redhead threw her on the bed, took her by the feet and removed her shoes. "Hey! I don't know how to walk in those," Sungmin explained as sweetly as possible as she shook Kyuhyun's arm to prevent him from doing so while the latter continued on what he was doing and when he succeeded on making Sungmin wear it, he pulled her up, only for her to fall on him. They were on the floor, Sungmin on top of Kyuhyun with their lips almost touching and eyes wide open. It seemed like the world stop because it felt like years when Sungmin was able to recover from the awkward atmosphere first so she stood up knowingly, dusted her pants, "I-I-I... sorry."
Kyuhyun casually stood up as if nothing unusual happened and offered his arm to Sungmin, "Let's go?" She uneasily clasped her arm around his and tried her best to look elegant to everyone.

In an abandoned warehouse, a group of people in black were sitting in a circle. Candles at the middle of the circle were the only source of light inside the dark, spooky area. "Boss, I got a photo with me," One man said, removed his mask as he handed a photo to the person wearing different clothes. The so-called boss smirked and stood up while the others followed. His eyebrows jiggled in excitement, "Well, well, well, look at what we have here. Korea's idol Cho Kyuhyun was seen kissing an unknown woman in front of his insane manager, Ms. Seo. Spread this to the media and deliver it the newspaper press. This is such a juicy scandal," The head person said, wiggled his brows and clapped his hands in amazement.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Kyuhyun and Sungmin arrived in the lobby but instead of seeing Seohyun there, their driver appeared munching on a doughnut. They sat beside him Kyuhyun tightened his grip on Sungmin's hand to indirectly tell her not to be nervous and since she agreed on being his girlfriend, she had to bear for it. "Oh, Hyung? Where is Noona?" Sungmin cannot believe her ears. I thought he doesn’t like her? Why is he calling her noona? That was not the only reason why she was surprised but also because of Kyuhyun's arm sneakily slid around her waist. "Seohyun? She went to the cafe nearby and-oh? Hello," The driver or commonly known as Yoojin immediately bowed when he saw and unfamiliar face beside Kyuhyun.
Sungmin stood up and bowed as well, "Good morning, sir. I'm Lee Sungmin, Kyuhyun's... girlfriend." She hesitantly greeted, unwrapped his arm from her waist but fingers still intertwined. And with that simple act, some of the people can't help to eavesdrop to their conversation. Besides, Kyuhyun is widely known not just in Korea but overseas as well and who would not waste the chance of catching a glimpse of this singer? After a moment of silence, a fan came to him and handed him a pen and his recent album. Since he was right-handed and his right hand was locked with Sungmin, he parted his hand and signed, "What's your name?" He gently inquired. Sungmin, on the other hand, felt warm by just watching Kyuhyun give autographs to his fans. "Eunkyung."
Something unexpected happened that stunned the two when Kyuhyun handed the album to her, "Hi, Sungmin-Unnie~ congrats for the two of you," She smiled as she shook hands with Sungmin. Firstly, she was shocked but still she had to keep composure and gain positive impressions, right? "You know me?" That was just idiotic, Sungmin! Of course, she does, she thought. Eunkyung nodded, placed the signed CD inside her bag and replied, "Everyone knows you by now. But still, you have to be careful of some fans who would dare to kill someone like you because of envy."
With that, Sungmin shivered while the teen bid goodbye. Kyuhyun chuckled when he saw the bubbly expression turn into a sad one. He nudged her and took her hand between his, "Don't worry; I'll protect you remember? About what she said earlier..." He paused when he saw Yoojin stand up so the two of them followed with fingers intertwined and looked at his surroundings, many were oblivious of what is happening and he want to prove that Seohyun is as crazy as a sasaeng fan* but she has a contract with him so he has no choice but to follow her.
"You're lucky to have encountered a fan like her. Some fans dared to go beyond the limit," Kyuhyun chuckled when Sungmin's grasp on his arm became loose. The latter fidgeted; worried that she could meet a fan like that. "Really? Do they break in their houses and watch them sleep?" She puffed her cheeks while Kyuhyun opened the car door for her, assisted her inside as he took the seat beside Sungmin. "How did you know?" He chuckled when she blew her bangs annoyingly.
"I heard it from the news. Yoochun's fans entered his house and kissed him while he was sleeping," Sungmin crossed her arms and pouted. Since he was a fan of JYJ, she can admit that she knows their activities but no one would want that to happen and that's what Kyuhyun fears right now. "Are you certain that you don't me? The one who sang 7 years of love?" He hugged her arm and started doing aegyo. Though he doesn't know much about it and read a book about it, he thinks that he learned enough from it. He still remembers the title: how to learn aegyo for dummies.
"I know the song but- oh," Sungmin got interrupted when Seohyun grumpily entered the vehicle with a newspaper and a cup of hot coffee. She took a glance at the couple and threw the paper to Kyuhyun while complained, folded it but however, he found it interesting. "Read the headline out loud," Seohyun ordered, took the seat between him and Sungmin. The latter stood up and went to the back seat but she was stopped when Kyuhyun grabbed her wrist. To her discomfort, she settled on sitting on Kyuhyun's lap while one of his arms circled her waist securely. She bit her lip because of the uneasiness she felt inside her and also because of Seohyun's intense glare.
"Idol Cho Kyuhyun spotted kissing an unknown woman in front of his crazed manager, Seohyun," Kyuhyun casually read out, gripped onto Sungmin's waist tightly since the car started moving. There was a picture after the headline. A photo of him and Sungmin kissing was the one. He smirked inwardly, rested his cheek on her slim back. "You can't tell me that I didn't warn you about this. Someone stole a photo from you and I bet Mr. Sooman already received this. Kyuhyun, think about your reputation. You're lucky your fans aren't as insane as the others but what are you doing?! Creating a scandal in which you involved a stranger?" Seohyun shouted, held the cup tighter while Sungmin awkwardly pinched Kyuhyun's hand. She was getting tense because Kyuhyun and Seohyun stared at each other so the atmosphere became suspense.
"Seohyun, I told you, we are dating. It's not like I just found her and asked her to be my pretend girlfriend. We are real, official, legal and other terms that can prove us that we really are together. Besides, my fans already know her," Kyuhyun stated confidently, rolled the paper and tapped Seohyun as he spoke. The latter sighed and retaliated, "Do you know that I will be the one who will be responsible for this shit that you made? Sorry for the terms but I really can't restrain my temper any more. Sungmin, if you're not used to listening to this kinds of things, you better be prepared for more swearing because Kyuhyun has a witty tongue as well." She smirked and sipped on her coffee. All she shows now is her pride, not her soft spot for Kyuhyun's acts.
Honestly, Kyuhyun knows people especially the ones who can be bribed or even fooled easily that is why he has a girlfriend sitting on his lap. He is not saying that Sungmin can be fooled easily but he is desperate for help. Seohyun thought that Sungmin is one of those fools who would pretend to someone else for money and such. But how can a person like her feel bothered whenever Kyuhyun would slip his arm around Sungmin's waist? When Kyuhyun's fingers were tangled with Sungmin while she is there, watching them. She will be in Sungmin's place, she should be. She took her laptop and opened Kyuhyun's list of schedule for the day.
"Anyways, your schedules for today are as follows. Read it and remember the time so that you know what appointment you have to attend to, “She commanded, handed the gadget to Kyuhyun as she fished for her notepad. The latter mumbled his schedule.
8:30-9:30 ~ Music bank filming
9:30-11:00 ~ Filming for the music video of blind
11:00-12:00 ~ Interview for the latest album and upcoming concert
12:00-2:00 ~ Concert practice
2:00-5:00 ~ Strong heart filming
6:00-8:00 ~ Concert practice
It read. Sungmin gaped upon seeing the document. His schedule was full and he doesn't even had time to eat or rest. Since Seohyun moved to the back chair when they were in the process of reading it, Sungmin instantly returned to her original seat. "You're appointment is packed, are you sure that you really want to come with me?" Sungmin asked, placed her hand on Kyuhyun's thigh which the latter anticipated. Kyuhyun just sighed as he squeezed her hand to inform that its okay, "Don't worry; everyday is always like this so I get used to." He confirmed, took his phone and earphones out to put his boredom away.
"But I still want to spend time with my brother-in-law, don't I?" Kyuhyun purposely emphasized his sentence so Seohyun would hear it. His evil genes were spilling again while Sungmin was unaware of the happenings. He cupped her cheeks and kissed her on the lips to finish up the act. On the other hand, Seohyun was oblivious of what Kyuhyun was doing in front of him. He was obviously making her jealous and she was falling for it. "Okay, okay, but you should take care of yourself. I won't always be here beside you to take care of you," Sungmin uttered, cupped his face as she avoided his eyes. It was too much for her to handle especially now when Seohyun is behind them.
Kyuhyun chuckled when he felt her fingertips brush onto his ear. Her eyes looked heavy so he removed her hands and took it between his hands which rested on his left thigh since Sungmin was beside the window on the right side of the van. "Sleepy?" He got a soft nod in return while Sungmin rubbed her eyes and fixed her headband in place. Kyuhyun leaned Sungmin's head on his shoulder so that she could rest even just a little while. "Sleep," He said, plugged one earphone to his left ear and one on Sungmin's left one. "Listen to it," He stated but when he took a glance from her, she was already in a slumber as her hands in Kyuhyun's grasp loosened. She looks so cute when she’s asleep, he mumbled.
"Seohyun-ssi, can you cancel my practice for the afternoon? I have to go to Sungmin's brother with her," Kyuhyun requested, situated Sungmin's head on a more comfortable area. He heard her flick her tongue from behind, "You're prioritizing her more than your career. Sungmin is being a hindrance, Kyuhyun!" Seohyun shouted, threw her pad to Kyuhyun while the latter did the same as revenge. "Can't you see, she is sleeping beside me?" He fixed her hair while the latter stirred and pinched Kyuhyun's finger slightly.
Kyuhyun smirked when he heard Seohyun sighed which actually means that his practice will be delayed. "Your trainer will arrive at four-thirty this afternoon. You're only permitted to stay in Sungmin's brother until two. Be aware of the time and we will inform you when we are on our way. Sungmin must be with me or Heechul every time because she will lead is through the way. We will send you off and leave as early as possible," She informed, tapped her heels as she jotted the important details down.
"Her brother lives in Incheon so it would be close," Kyuhyun claimed, caressed the brown-haired's thigh. And he was the one said that he was not taking advantage.
