Pairing: KyuMin
Genre: Romance
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Kyuhyun had been living a plain-stagnant life; until Sungmin stepped in, that is
Kyuhyun had never done this things he was doing at the moment even once in his life before. But now here he was, wearing a cat-ear headband on his head and a fake long tail on his pants.
“Kyu! Kyu! It’s your turn now!” Sungmin, who was holding a pink Sailor Moon’s moonstick, bouncing energetically beside him.
“…..” Kyuhyun just kept silent and put his hand over his mouth.
“Kyu~” Sungmin whined.
“Let’s stop it now, okay?” Kyuhyun said, taking the remote control and turned the TV off.
They were currently watching ‘Sailor Moon’ anime, and Sungmin had forced Kyuhyun to cosplay as Luna, Usagi’s cat. Sungmin himself took Usagi’s character.
“But it’s more fun if we watch it using the props!” he flailed his arms around.
Kyuhyun heaved a sigh. “I can not see a logical reason of why we should using the characters’ props when we watch anime.”
“No reason. It’s just fun.” Sungmin shrugged.
“So you mean when people want to watch ‘Happy Feet’ they should dress up as penguins?? Or when they want to watch ‘Doraemon’ they should dress up as Nobita and his friends??” Kyuhyun sprang from the sofa, pacing up and down the room in uncontrollable frustration.
“Aww…Kyu don’t be mad. I just want us to have some fun.” Sungmin said, following Kyuhyun to pace up and down the room right behind his back. “Okay, okay, I won’t do this again but could you please do one simple thing for me?” Sungmin finally gave up since Kyuhyun didn’t seem to stop his activity of pacing up and down the room soon with the cat-ear headband and a tail still dangling on his butt.
“What?” Kyuhyun stop into a halt, and made Sungmin bumped on his back.
Sungmin rubbed his nose as he let out a wide grin. “Say ‘miaw’~”
Kyuhyun widened his eyes in surprise and abruptly shaking his head. “Hell no!!”
Sungmin puckered his lips and took out his phone. “Then I guess I’ll put this photo of yours on your school’s bulletin board tomorrow~” he sing-songed as he waved his phone with Kyuhyun’s photo on the screen, drinking a glass of water with the headband and the tail on him.
“When did you take that!” Kyuhyun reached out but Sungmin quickly retreated his hand and put it behind his back, letting out his tongue to Kyuhyun. “You’re in big trouble if you ever put that on my school’s bulletin board.” Kyuhyun threated. He wouldn’t let his image ruined because of a certain stupid pink-lover person named Lee Sungmin.
“All you need to do is saying ‘miaw’, Kyu.” Sungmin batted his eyelashes innocently.
The two person now standing in front of each other, waiting for the one who would give up first and do what the other wanted. In the end, Kyuhyun failed.
“You.. You have to keep your promise.”
“I will.” Sungmin replied, eyes glinting with playfulness.
“..M..miaw.”
There. He did it. Cho Kyuhyun, the cold guy of the school made a not-so cute ‘miaw’ with his deep, baritone voice.
Sungmin immediately threw his body back to the sofa and burst into a fit of laughter. Kyuhyun’s face was all red from embarrassment. He took the headband off and started to walk upstairs, stomping his feet in a bit exaggerated manner.
“Oh, Kyu,” Sungmin called, wiping his eyes from the tears that emerged from laughing too much.
Kyuhyun stopped midway and answered without looking back at Sungmin. “What??”
Slowly, Sungmin lifted his hand and pointing at Kyuhyun’s back, though he completely knew Kyuhyun couldn’t see him. “You still got the tail dangling from your butt.” he tried to surpressed his laughter but failed when Kyuhyun turned his head in shock, looked at his butt, pulled at the tail harshly and threw it down. Kyuhyun then proceeded to his bedroom, leaving Sungmin all laughing at himself.
“So cute..” Sungmin whispered, half giggling at the thought of Kyuhyun’s embarrassed and helpless face.
--
The next day, Sungmin made Kyuhyun went to school wearing a pink V-neck t-shirt to school. He couldn’t help but felt the urge to dig the nearest ground he could find and buried himself there when he walked down the school’s corridor. The students were practically eyeing him and whispering behind his back, wondering why such a cold and grouchy person like him used a PINK shirt to school.
After that day Sungmin forced Kyuhyun to bring a bento to school, with a PINK-colored lunchbox, of course. He said canteen’s food is not that healthy so he insisted Kyuhyun to bring the bento he made himself. Kyuhyun couldn’t help but to bring the bento with him, knowing Sungmin would let out his cutest pout and that pout always made Kyuhyun’s heart melt and finally gave in to Sungmin.
“He dressed me up with a bandana and a fake tail, Hae! As Luna! As a cat! A freaking cat!” Kyuhyun found himself in Donghae’s room, reporting to his beloved cousin about the things Sungmin had made him to do.
“And then he made me go to school with a pink shirt, the next day he forced me to bring his home-made bento, and many other things you couldn’t ever imagine I would ever do.” he ranted exasperatedly.
Donghae was lying on the carpeted floor of his bedroom, laughing his ass of over the so-called suffer ing Kyuhyun had experienced.
“Really, this Sungmin is awesome.” Said an amused Donghae.
Kyuhyun just kicked Donghae’s butt with his feet.
--
After a while, with Sungmin constantly interfering his life, Kyuhyun gradually grew more used to have Sungmin around him. They slowly got closer, to the point that they would go to the supermarket together to buy some groceries, the thing that Kyuhyun would ever want to do before, but now, he’s totally fine with it.
It was one calm afternoon and Kyuhyun was in the reading room, reading a random book about music when somebody pressed the bell of the house. Minutes later a maid came up to him and bowed.
“Someone is looking for you, young master.” The maid informed.
Kyuhyun raised his eyebrows and nodded. “Let him in.”
The maid bowed again and made her leave. A few moments later a red-haired guy with a thin figure entered the room. He smiled as
soon as he saw Kyuhyun, bowed deeply and wave his hand.
“Hi, I’m Eunhyuk. Sungmin’s friend.”
Kyuhyun raised his left eyebrow when he heard Sungmin’s name was mentioned by the guy.
“First, you should look for him, not me. And second, he’s taking a nap now so I don’t think you can meet him at the moment.” Kyuhyun said in one breath.
The guy just chuckled and fished something out from his sling bag. “I just wanted to give this back to Sungmin, he forgot to bring this with him last night when he visited my apartment.” He handed Sungmin’s phone to Kyuhyun. “Besides, I want to see you, Cho Kyuhyun.”
Kyuhyun took the phone and asked. “Why?”
“Did you remember the first week when Sungmin always came home late at night? Well, he visited me and told me all about you. All good things about you. He just couldn’t stop talking, man! Sometimes I even got irritated but well, he’s my bestfriend so I couldn’t really do anything but to hear his stories.”
“But now, since he got closer to you, he rarely pay me a visit until yesterday. I somehow feel relieve but feel a bit sad too.” Eunhyuk smiled and stepped closer to Kyuhyun. “Take care of him well, you already got a special spot in his heart.” He patted Kyuhyun’s shoulder. “Tell him I said ‘hi’!” he bowed and then excused himself.
Kyuhyun, who was still standing in the middle of the room-still processing what Eunhyuk said earlier, slowly could comprehend Eunhyuk’s words and he could feel his lips forming a shy but happy smile. So that’s why Sungmin always went home late on the first week. He told his bestfriends all about him. All good things about him. That means..
Kyuhyun then found himself playing love songs non-stop in his room for hours.
--
“You should call your dad, it’s Christmas eve Kyu!”
Sungmin entered the living room and placed a tray with a plate full of cookies and two glass of milk on the table.
“No need to do that. There’s nothing special anyway. Besides he won’t comeback eventhough I call him to say ‘merry christmas’.” Kyuhyun said nonchalantly, picking a cookie and munching it.
Sungmin sighed and took a seat beside Kyuhyun.
“But you know, a simpe phone call could make your relationship with your dad better..” he smiled.
Kyuhyun looked at him, weighing Sungmin’s words. Calling his father on Christmas and saying ‘merry christmas’ and a simple ‘I love you’ was all Kyuhyun had been wanting to do but he got no courage at all.
“Here. Call him.” Sungmin passed his phone to Kyuhyun.
Kyuhyun took the phone hesitantly and looked up to Sungmin. “Go on.” Sungmin encouraged him.
Kyuhyun slowly pressed his father ‘s number and put the phone next to his ear. After a while, he could hear the other line picked up and he could hear his father low, deep voice. “Hello?”
“…dad..”
“….kyuhyun? Did you change your number?” his dad was surprised knowing that Kyuhyun called him with a new number.
“No..this..this is Sungmin’s..” he muttered.
“Ah, I see.. and what is it son ?”
“…” he kept silent. Sungmin nudged his side and signing him to continue.
“I..I just want to say merry Christmas.. and..” he paused. “and.. I love you.”
The other line fell into a silence. After a few seconds his dad replied and it made Kyuhyun’s heart clenched with emotion and happiness. “Merry Christmas son, and I love you too.” Kyuhyun could swear he heard a slight sob from the other line but he didn’t care.
“I miss you and come back soon..” Kyuhyun added. His own eyes already filled with tears.
“I will son. I will.” His father replied back and after a short goodbyes, he ended the call and slumped back to the soft couch.
“You did well Kyu, you did well.” Sungmin pulled Kyuhyun into his arms and running his hand up and down Kyuhyun’s back.
Kyuhyun couldn’t help but to cry his heart out in Sungmin’s warm embrace that night.
--
“You know Kyu..” Sungmin shifted on his seat,”I wonder what you’re thinking everytime you look at me and smile. But whatever it is, it gives me butterflies in my stomach.”
Kyuhyun stared blankly at Sungmin. He didn’t expect Sungmin to say that to him. All this time he had been hoping for Sungmin to show him some interest and now when Sungmin did say it, he could do nothing but gaped at the beautiful man beside him.
Sungmin’s flawless face gleaming under the moonlight and his beautiful round doe eyes drowned Kyuhyun into an endless depth.
“I-that-“ he stuttered. Kyuhyun’s face was as red as tomato, and his heart was beating erratically to the point he’s afraid that Sungmin could even hear it.
Sungmin giggled, a feminine giggle. That was the first time Kyuhyun heard it. It’s been a month but never once Kyuhyun heard Sungmin giggled like a young girl talking shyly about their crush. And Kyuhyun found it adorable.
“I like your blushing face.” Sungmin said, grinning from ear to ear while his hand reaching out to the table and took a magazine to read.
Kyuhyun smiled and slowly approached Sungmin.
“I like your blushing face too..” Kyuhyun said as he slowly leaned closer to Sungmin.
“Really?” Sungmin answered, while his eyes still plastered on the magazine in front of him as his hand flipping the pages, trying to find something interesting enough to read. Sungmin didn’t seem to realize Kyuhyun that was getting closer and closer, for he kept smiling and talking nonchalantly until he turned to see Kyuhyun and was startled to find Kyuhyun’s face was only about five centimeters away from his.
“I like your eyes.. your nose.. your lips.. your pretty face..” he whispered. Sungmin could feel Kyuhyun’s warm breath over his lips and his face started to turn red. Seeing Sungmin’s blushing cheeks, he couldn’t help but let out a slight smirk. Kyuhyun was about close the distance between him and Sungmin’s when he felt a soft finger on his lips, avoiding Kyuhyun to kiss Sungmin right there and then.
“I’m sleepy.” Sungmin reasoned. He quickly looked away, face still tainted with pink blush on his cheeks as he made his way upstairs to his bedroom.
Kyuhyun gulped and lifted his hand to rest on his forehead. “What did I do.. I scared him, damnit.” He cursed under his breath.
Kyuhyun was supposed to spend that Saturday night sleeping (or playing games for hours), but he didn’t. He tried to sleep but every time he closed his eyes he would think about the scene that happened in the living room earlier. It kept playing on and on in his head and he couldn’t help but to sit back up and clutched at his hair in frustration.
Maybe, just maybe, unable to sleep was one main reason of why he was tip-toeing to Sungmin’s room now, sliding carefully into the room and walked closer to Sungmin’s bed. As soon as Sungmin’s pretty sleeping face came into Kyuhyun’s view, his heart started to do a sommersault. He could feel a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead.
He stood beside Sungmin’s bed silently; savoring Sungmin’s pretty face and his soft, delicate figure. He averted his eyes to Sungmin’s lips. Those pouty lips were slightly open, making Kyuhyun unconsciously bit his bottom lip. Sungmin’s lips were the only thing Kyuhyun could ever think about since he tried to kiss Sungmin a few hours ago. Kyuhyun never had a feeling like this for someone before, to a man somemore. He always thought that he would be forever single, enjoying his old days with games in a nursing home or something along the way. But now, there was this new longing that he found himself wishing for him and Sungmin to rest of their lives together.
He quietly and carefully positioned himself next to Sungmin’s sleeping form, sighing in content when he looked at Sungmin. He stroked Sungmin’s cheek lightly, cherishing every second and minute that passed and soon without him realizing, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next morning when Kyuhyun woke up he couldn’t find Sungmin on his side.
“..Min?” he rubbed his eyes as he roamed around the room. No answer.
A sudden fear slowly creeped into Kyuhyun’s body, his heart started pounding fast and he quickly got up from the bed. He searched the balcony, the bathroom, but still he couldn’t found Sungmin. When Kyuhyun was about to make his way out of the room, he found a note on the desk.
Curiously, Kyuhyun picked it up. “What is this?” he mumbled.
As soon as he read the content of the note, his eyes widened in shock and his hand started to tremble. The note was written on a white paper, written by someone Kyuhyun had already fond of.
I’m sorry, but I have to do this.
I’m sorry, but I have to leave.
If I go see you now, I will surely end up crying.
That’s why I leave you alone, without even saying anything.
“No..no..please, no..” Kyuhyun could feel his eyes brimming with tears.
I just want you to know,
That everytime I hear your voice and see your smiles,
I immediately become happy.
I fell in love with you.
I fell in love with you,
eventhough I haven't been able to tell you,
even though I'm alone,
I will become happy.
Because I love you.
Kyuhyun didn’t think much and quickly dashed to his room to take his car key. The weather was so cold outside but he didn’t give a damn, he only got Sungmin on his mind. And Sungmin was going to leave him; something that Kyuhyun would never wanted to be happened.
“Please..please don’t leave me hanging like this, Min.. Please..” Kyuhyun muttered with a trembling lips, his hand made his way to his car’s door and was about to open it when he heard a familiar sound calling his name in the cold morning.
“Kyu?”
The voice was soft and slightly trembling because of the cold air, but Kyuhyun knew that voice too well. He quickly turned and saw Sungmin stood behind him, stroking both his hands together to keep the warmth.
“Are you going somewhe-mmph!!” Sungmin’s voice was muffled for Kyuhyun was hugging him tight, as if they haven’t met for a year, making Sungmin all confused and lost.
“Thank God.. Thank God you didn’t leave.. Please, please don’t ever leave me, Min.” a light sobs were heard from Kyuhyun’s lips and Sungmin could feel Kyuhyun’s tears on his cheek when the latter nuzzled his nose on it.
Sungmin pulled away from Kyuhyun lightly; staring straight into Kyuhyun’s eyes. Those beautiful brown orbs were red and puffy.
“What are you talking about Kyu?”
Kyuhyun sniffed loudly and trying hard to let the words out of his trembling lips, “I - I don’t..want..you to go.” He said through gritted teeth. The weather was getting colder but Kyuhyun didn’t care. He must made Sungmin stay.
“I am not going anywhere.” Sungmin tilted his head to the side, totally not understanding the whole situation.
“B-but..you left this note..on your desk..” Kyuhyun dug his jeans’ pocket and shoved the crumpled note to Sungmin.
Sungmin took the note into his hands and read it. He knitted his eyebrows and looked up.
“Kyu, this is only a song lyric.”
“Huh?”
“I was bored yesterday morning so I just scribbled on my notes and wrote this. This means nothing.” He paused. “You thought I would leave?”
Kyuhyun nodded.
“I won’t Kyu. I won’t.” Sungmin smiled. “And now let’s go inside and I’ll make you a hot chocolate to keep you warm, okay? You’re freezing! Geez, you even still got your pajamas on!” he put a hand to Kyuhyun’s cheek and stroke it lightly. The warmth that Kyuhyun could feel on his cheek made his heart relieved. Sungmin was still here. Sungmin wouldn’t go anywhere. He sighed contently and kept Sungmin’s hand on his cheek with his bare hand, not wanting for Sungmin to move his hand away.
“I love you..” Kyuhyun muttered through his blueish lips.
“What?” Sungmin blinked.
“I said.. I love you..” Kyuhyun said and looked into Sungmin’s eyes. “Do you love me?”
“I-“ Sungmin was too overwhelmed that he finally could only nodded.
Kyuhyun let out a small laugh and pulled Sungmin closer. He grinned happily from ear to ear, even happier when he found Sungmin’s blushing cheeks.
“And why did you go for the car?” Sungmin asked.
“I thought you were leaving for Vienna, since your dad is there.. And the only place in my mind was the airport.” Kyuhyun replied.
“You should’ve searched for me in the house first.” Sungmin chuckled, finding Kyuhyun’s pouting lips adorable.
“Aahhh….! I love you so much Min! I love you so much and I hope we will be together forever.” Kyuhyun said, his right hand tilted Sungmin’s chin up. Sungmin ran his hands through Kyuhyun’s brown locks and nuzzled their noses together; giggling when he saw Kyuhyun scrunching his nose to tease him.
“Cheesy!” Sungmin laughed. “I love you too.” He added as snowflakes slowly fell from the sky. He pulled Kyuhyun closer into a gentle kiss, which Kyuhyun received gladly as he hugged Sungmin tighter. Kyuhyun felt really thankful; because this time, he ended the year and started a new one by having the one he loved in his arms.

Summary: Kyuhyun had been living a plain-stagnant life; until Sungmin stepped in, that is
Kyuhyun had never done this things he was doing at the moment even once in his life before. But now here he was, wearing a cat-ear headband on his head and a fake long tail on his pants.
“Kyu! Kyu! It’s your turn now!” Sungmin, who was holding a pink Sailor Moon’s moonstick, bouncing energetically beside him.
“…..” Kyuhyun just kept silent and put his hand over his mouth.
“Kyu~” Sungmin whined.
“Let’s stop it now, okay?” Kyuhyun said, taking the remote control and turned the TV off.
They were currently watching ‘Sailor Moon’ anime, and Sungmin had forced Kyuhyun to cosplay as Luna, Usagi’s cat. Sungmin himself took Usagi’s character.
“But it’s more fun if we watch it using the props!” he flailed his arms around.
Kyuhyun heaved a sigh. “I can not see a logical reason of why we should using the characters’ props when we watch anime.”
“No reason. It’s just fun.” Sungmin shrugged.
“So you mean when people want to watch ‘Happy Feet’ they should dress up as penguins?? Or when they want to watch ‘Doraemon’ they should dress up as Nobita and his friends??” Kyuhyun sprang from the sofa, pacing up and down the room in uncontrollable frustration.
“Aww…Kyu don’t be mad. I just want us to have some fun.” Sungmin said, following Kyuhyun to pace up and down the room right behind his back. “Okay, okay, I won’t do this again but could you please do one simple thing for me?” Sungmin finally gave up since Kyuhyun didn’t seem to stop his activity of pacing up and down the room soon with the cat-ear headband and a tail still dangling on his butt.
“What?” Kyuhyun stop into a halt, and made Sungmin bumped on his back.
Sungmin rubbed his nose as he let out a wide grin. “Say ‘miaw’~”
Kyuhyun widened his eyes in surprise and abruptly shaking his head. “Hell no!!”
Sungmin puckered his lips and took out his phone. “Then I guess I’ll put this photo of yours on your school’s bulletin board tomorrow~” he sing-songed as he waved his phone with Kyuhyun’s photo on the screen, drinking a glass of water with the headband and the tail on him.
“When did you take that!” Kyuhyun reached out but Sungmin quickly retreated his hand and put it behind his back, letting out his tongue to Kyuhyun. “You’re in big trouble if you ever put that on my school’s bulletin board.” Kyuhyun threated. He wouldn’t let his image ruined because of a certain stupid pink-lover person named Lee Sungmin.
“All you need to do is saying ‘miaw’, Kyu.” Sungmin batted his eyelashes innocently.
The two person now standing in front of each other, waiting for the one who would give up first and do what the other wanted. In the end, Kyuhyun failed.
“You.. You have to keep your promise.”
“I will.” Sungmin replied, eyes glinting with playfulness.
“..M..miaw.”
There. He did it. Cho Kyuhyun, the cold guy of the school made a not-so cute ‘miaw’ with his deep, baritone voice.
Sungmin immediately threw his body back to the sofa and burst into a fit of laughter. Kyuhyun’s face was all red from embarrassment. He took the headband off and started to walk upstairs, stomping his feet in a bit exaggerated manner.
“Oh, Kyu,” Sungmin called, wiping his eyes from the tears that emerged from laughing too much.
Kyuhyun stopped midway and answered without looking back at Sungmin. “What??”
Slowly, Sungmin lifted his hand and pointing at Kyuhyun’s back, though he completely knew Kyuhyun couldn’t see him. “You still got the tail dangling from your butt.” he tried to surpressed his laughter but failed when Kyuhyun turned his head in shock, looked at his butt, pulled at the tail harshly and threw it down. Kyuhyun then proceeded to his bedroom, leaving Sungmin all laughing at himself.
“So cute..” Sungmin whispered, half giggling at the thought of Kyuhyun’s embarrassed and helpless face.
--
The next day, Sungmin made Kyuhyun went to school wearing a pink V-neck t-shirt to school. He couldn’t help but felt the urge to dig the nearest ground he could find and buried himself there when he walked down the school’s corridor. The students were practically eyeing him and whispering behind his back, wondering why such a cold and grouchy person like him used a PINK shirt to school.
After that day Sungmin forced Kyuhyun to bring a bento to school, with a PINK-colored lunchbox, of course. He said canteen’s food is not that healthy so he insisted Kyuhyun to bring the bento he made himself. Kyuhyun couldn’t help but to bring the bento with him, knowing Sungmin would let out his cutest pout and that pout always made Kyuhyun’s heart melt and finally gave in to Sungmin.
“He dressed me up with a bandana and a fake tail, Hae! As Luna! As a cat! A freaking cat!” Kyuhyun found himself in Donghae’s room, reporting to his beloved cousin about the things Sungmin had made him to do.
“And then he made me go to school with a pink shirt, the next day he forced me to bring his home-made bento, and many other things you couldn’t ever imagine I would ever do.” he ranted exasperatedly.
Donghae was lying on the carpeted floor of his bedroom, laughing his ass of over the so-called suffer ing Kyuhyun had experienced.
“Really, this Sungmin is awesome.” Said an amused Donghae.
Kyuhyun just kicked Donghae’s butt with his feet.
--
After a while, with Sungmin constantly interfering his life, Kyuhyun gradually grew more used to have Sungmin around him. They slowly got closer, to the point that they would go to the supermarket together to buy some groceries, the thing that Kyuhyun would ever want to do before, but now, he’s totally fine with it.
It was one calm afternoon and Kyuhyun was in the reading room, reading a random book about music when somebody pressed the bell of the house. Minutes later a maid came up to him and bowed.
“Someone is looking for you, young master.” The maid informed.
Kyuhyun raised his eyebrows and nodded. “Let him in.”
The maid bowed again and made her leave. A few moments later a red-haired guy with a thin figure entered the room. He smiled as
soon as he saw Kyuhyun, bowed deeply and wave his hand.
“Hi, I’m Eunhyuk. Sungmin’s friend.”
Kyuhyun raised his left eyebrow when he heard Sungmin’s name was mentioned by the guy.
“First, you should look for him, not me. And second, he’s taking a nap now so I don’t think you can meet him at the moment.” Kyuhyun said in one breath.
The guy just chuckled and fished something out from his sling bag. “I just wanted to give this back to Sungmin, he forgot to bring this with him last night when he visited my apartment.” He handed Sungmin’s phone to Kyuhyun. “Besides, I want to see you, Cho Kyuhyun.”
Kyuhyun took the phone and asked. “Why?”
“Did you remember the first week when Sungmin always came home late at night? Well, he visited me and told me all about you. All good things about you. He just couldn’t stop talking, man! Sometimes I even got irritated but well, he’s my bestfriend so I couldn’t really do anything but to hear his stories.”
“But now, since he got closer to you, he rarely pay me a visit until yesterday. I somehow feel relieve but feel a bit sad too.” Eunhyuk smiled and stepped closer to Kyuhyun. “Take care of him well, you already got a special spot in his heart.” He patted Kyuhyun’s shoulder. “Tell him I said ‘hi’!” he bowed and then excused himself.
Kyuhyun, who was still standing in the middle of the room-still processing what Eunhyuk said earlier, slowly could comprehend Eunhyuk’s words and he could feel his lips forming a shy but happy smile. So that’s why Sungmin always went home late on the first week. He told his bestfriends all about him. All good things about him. That means..
Kyuhyun then found himself playing love songs non-stop in his room for hours.
--
“You should call your dad, it’s Christmas eve Kyu!”
Sungmin entered the living room and placed a tray with a plate full of cookies and two glass of milk on the table.
“No need to do that. There’s nothing special anyway. Besides he won’t comeback eventhough I call him to say ‘merry christmas’.” Kyuhyun said nonchalantly, picking a cookie and munching it.
Sungmin sighed and took a seat beside Kyuhyun.
“But you know, a simpe phone call could make your relationship with your dad better..” he smiled.
Kyuhyun looked at him, weighing Sungmin’s words. Calling his father on Christmas and saying ‘merry christmas’ and a simple ‘I love you’ was all Kyuhyun had been wanting to do but he got no courage at all.
“Here. Call him.” Sungmin passed his phone to Kyuhyun.
Kyuhyun took the phone hesitantly and looked up to Sungmin. “Go on.” Sungmin encouraged him.
Kyuhyun slowly pressed his father ‘s number and put the phone next to his ear. After a while, he could hear the other line picked up and he could hear his father low, deep voice. “Hello?”
“…dad..”
“….kyuhyun? Did you change your number?” his dad was surprised knowing that Kyuhyun called him with a new number.
“No..this..this is Sungmin’s..” he muttered.
“Ah, I see.. and what is it son ?”
“…” he kept silent. Sungmin nudged his side and signing him to continue.
“I..I just want to say merry Christmas.. and..” he paused. “and.. I love you.”
The other line fell into a silence. After a few seconds his dad replied and it made Kyuhyun’s heart clenched with emotion and happiness. “Merry Christmas son, and I love you too.” Kyuhyun could swear he heard a slight sob from the other line but he didn’t care.
“I miss you and come back soon..” Kyuhyun added. His own eyes already filled with tears.
“I will son. I will.” His father replied back and after a short goodbyes, he ended the call and slumped back to the soft couch.
“You did well Kyu, you did well.” Sungmin pulled Kyuhyun into his arms and running his hand up and down Kyuhyun’s back.
Kyuhyun couldn’t help but to cry his heart out in Sungmin’s warm embrace that night.
--
“You know Kyu..” Sungmin shifted on his seat,”I wonder what you’re thinking everytime you look at me and smile. But whatever it is, it gives me butterflies in my stomach.”
Kyuhyun stared blankly at Sungmin. He didn’t expect Sungmin to say that to him. All this time he had been hoping for Sungmin to show him some interest and now when Sungmin did say it, he could do nothing but gaped at the beautiful man beside him.
Sungmin’s flawless face gleaming under the moonlight and his beautiful round doe eyes drowned Kyuhyun into an endless depth.
“I-that-“ he stuttered. Kyuhyun’s face was as red as tomato, and his heart was beating erratically to the point he’s afraid that Sungmin could even hear it.
Sungmin giggled, a feminine giggle. That was the first time Kyuhyun heard it. It’s been a month but never once Kyuhyun heard Sungmin giggled like a young girl talking shyly about their crush. And Kyuhyun found it adorable.
“I like your blushing face.” Sungmin said, grinning from ear to ear while his hand reaching out to the table and took a magazine to read.
Kyuhyun smiled and slowly approached Sungmin.
“I like your blushing face too..” Kyuhyun said as he slowly leaned closer to Sungmin.
“Really?” Sungmin answered, while his eyes still plastered on the magazine in front of him as his hand flipping the pages, trying to find something interesting enough to read. Sungmin didn’t seem to realize Kyuhyun that was getting closer and closer, for he kept smiling and talking nonchalantly until he turned to see Kyuhyun and was startled to find Kyuhyun’s face was only about five centimeters away from his.
“I like your eyes.. your nose.. your lips.. your pretty face..” he whispered. Sungmin could feel Kyuhyun’s warm breath over his lips and his face started to turn red. Seeing Sungmin’s blushing cheeks, he couldn’t help but let out a slight smirk. Kyuhyun was about close the distance between him and Sungmin’s when he felt a soft finger on his lips, avoiding Kyuhyun to kiss Sungmin right there and then.
“I’m sleepy.” Sungmin reasoned. He quickly looked away, face still tainted with pink blush on his cheeks as he made his way upstairs to his bedroom.
Kyuhyun gulped and lifted his hand to rest on his forehead. “What did I do.. I scared him, damnit.” He cursed under his breath.
Kyuhyun was supposed to spend that Saturday night sleeping (or playing games for hours), but he didn’t. He tried to sleep but every time he closed his eyes he would think about the scene that happened in the living room earlier. It kept playing on and on in his head and he couldn’t help but to sit back up and clutched at his hair in frustration.
Maybe, just maybe, unable to sleep was one main reason of why he was tip-toeing to Sungmin’s room now, sliding carefully into the room and walked closer to Sungmin’s bed. As soon as Sungmin’s pretty sleeping face came into Kyuhyun’s view, his heart started to do a sommersault. He could feel a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead.
He stood beside Sungmin’s bed silently; savoring Sungmin’s pretty face and his soft, delicate figure. He averted his eyes to Sungmin’s lips. Those pouty lips were slightly open, making Kyuhyun unconsciously bit his bottom lip. Sungmin’s lips were the only thing Kyuhyun could ever think about since he tried to kiss Sungmin a few hours ago. Kyuhyun never had a feeling like this for someone before, to a man somemore. He always thought that he would be forever single, enjoying his old days with games in a nursing home or something along the way. But now, there was this new longing that he found himself wishing for him and Sungmin to rest of their lives together.
He quietly and carefully positioned himself next to Sungmin’s sleeping form, sighing in content when he looked at Sungmin. He stroked Sungmin’s cheek lightly, cherishing every second and minute that passed and soon without him realizing, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next morning when Kyuhyun woke up he couldn’t find Sungmin on his side.
“..Min?” he rubbed his eyes as he roamed around the room. No answer.
A sudden fear slowly creeped into Kyuhyun’s body, his heart started pounding fast and he quickly got up from the bed. He searched the balcony, the bathroom, but still he couldn’t found Sungmin. When Kyuhyun was about to make his way out of the room, he found a note on the desk.
Curiously, Kyuhyun picked it up. “What is this?” he mumbled.
As soon as he read the content of the note, his eyes widened in shock and his hand started to tremble. The note was written on a white paper, written by someone Kyuhyun had already fond of.
I’m sorry, but I have to do this.
I’m sorry, but I have to leave.
If I go see you now, I will surely end up crying.
That’s why I leave you alone, without even saying anything.
“No..no..please, no..” Kyuhyun could feel his eyes brimming with tears.
I just want you to know,
That everytime I hear your voice and see your smiles,
I immediately become happy.
I fell in love with you.
I fell in love with you,
eventhough I haven't been able to tell you,
even though I'm alone,
I will become happy.
Because I love you.
Kyuhyun didn’t think much and quickly dashed to his room to take his car key. The weather was so cold outside but he didn’t give a damn, he only got Sungmin on his mind. And Sungmin was going to leave him; something that Kyuhyun would never wanted to be happened.
“Please..please don’t leave me hanging like this, Min.. Please..” Kyuhyun muttered with a trembling lips, his hand made his way to his car’s door and was about to open it when he heard a familiar sound calling his name in the cold morning.
“Kyu?”
The voice was soft and slightly trembling because of the cold air, but Kyuhyun knew that voice too well. He quickly turned and saw Sungmin stood behind him, stroking both his hands together to keep the warmth.
“Are you going somewhe-mmph!!” Sungmin’s voice was muffled for Kyuhyun was hugging him tight, as if they haven’t met for a year, making Sungmin all confused and lost.
“Thank God.. Thank God you didn’t leave.. Please, please don’t ever leave me, Min.” a light sobs were heard from Kyuhyun’s lips and Sungmin could feel Kyuhyun’s tears on his cheek when the latter nuzzled his nose on it.
Sungmin pulled away from Kyuhyun lightly; staring straight into Kyuhyun’s eyes. Those beautiful brown orbs were red and puffy.
“What are you talking about Kyu?”
Kyuhyun sniffed loudly and trying hard to let the words out of his trembling lips, “I - I don’t..want..you to go.” He said through gritted teeth. The weather was getting colder but Kyuhyun didn’t care. He must made Sungmin stay.
“I am not going anywhere.” Sungmin tilted his head to the side, totally not understanding the whole situation.
“B-but..you left this note..on your desk..” Kyuhyun dug his jeans’ pocket and shoved the crumpled note to Sungmin.
Sungmin took the note into his hands and read it. He knitted his eyebrows and looked up.
“Kyu, this is only a song lyric.”
“Huh?”
“I was bored yesterday morning so I just scribbled on my notes and wrote this. This means nothing.” He paused. “You thought I would leave?”
Kyuhyun nodded.
“I won’t Kyu. I won’t.” Sungmin smiled. “And now let’s go inside and I’ll make you a hot chocolate to keep you warm, okay? You’re freezing! Geez, you even still got your pajamas on!” he put a hand to Kyuhyun’s cheek and stroke it lightly. The warmth that Kyuhyun could feel on his cheek made his heart relieved. Sungmin was still here. Sungmin wouldn’t go anywhere. He sighed contently and kept Sungmin’s hand on his cheek with his bare hand, not wanting for Sungmin to move his hand away.
“I love you..” Kyuhyun muttered through his blueish lips.
“What?” Sungmin blinked.
“I said.. I love you..” Kyuhyun said and looked into Sungmin’s eyes. “Do you love me?”
“I-“ Sungmin was too overwhelmed that he finally could only nodded.
Kyuhyun let out a small laugh and pulled Sungmin closer. He grinned happily from ear to ear, even happier when he found Sungmin’s blushing cheeks.
“And why did you go for the car?” Sungmin asked.
“I thought you were leaving for Vienna, since your dad is there.. And the only place in my mind was the airport.” Kyuhyun replied.
“You should’ve searched for me in the house first.” Sungmin chuckled, finding Kyuhyun’s pouting lips adorable.
“Aahhh….! I love you so much Min! I love you so much and I hope we will be together forever.” Kyuhyun said, his right hand tilted Sungmin’s chin up. Sungmin ran his hands through Kyuhyun’s brown locks and nuzzled their noses together; giggling when he saw Kyuhyun scrunching his nose to tease him.
“Cheesy!” Sungmin laughed. “I love you too.” He added as snowflakes slowly fell from the sky. He pulled Kyuhyun closer into a gentle kiss, which Kyuhyun received gladly as he hugged Sungmin tighter. Kyuhyun felt really thankful; because this time, he ended the year and started a new one by having the one he loved in his arms.
