Of Falling in Love
TITLE: Of Falling in Love
Pairing: Kyumin, Slight!Eunhae
Summary: To confess or not to confess...
Warnings: None.
Genre: Fluff.
The first time Cho Kyuhyun realized he was in love, there were no fireworks, or church bells ringing, or birds singing. Instead, those three precious words merely popped up as he was having a conversation with a certain person who loved to smile and laugh and tease him mercilessly.
"I love you."
He didn't say this out loud, of course, because he knew that if he did, he would have probably scared his hyung away. He didn't even question his feelings because nothing he had ever felt before had felt this right as if the angels or fate or whatever otherworldly being meant for this to happen. As he gazed at Lee Sungmin, who was animatedly talking about the latest news he had heard, Kyuhyun couldn't help but come to the conclusion (as he usually did) that everything about the older man was perfect.
"Kyu, did you just hear what I said?"
Belatedly, Kyuhyun realized that his hyung had noticed his zoning out. He smiled sheepishly and apologized, "Sorry, hyung. I was out for a minute there."
Sungmin frowned and placed a hand against Kyuhyun's forehead. "Are you feeling sick?"
The magnae couldn't help but feel warmth creep into his heart as he saw the worry present in Sungmin's eyes. He grinned and pinched the other's cheek lightly. "I'm fine, hyung."
Sungmin nodded after being satisfied that nothing was wrong with his dongsaeng and continued on with his story. This time, Kyuhyun listened attentively, hanging on the other's ever word.

Kyuhyun was staring at Eunhyuk and Donghae as the two were eating strawberries, all the while teasing and laughing at each other's silly jokes. It was common knowledge among the members that the two were more than just friends, and all of them had accepted the relationship wholeheartedly. After all, they weren't the first couple to form among the members as they were actually the fourth.
Kyuhyun sighed pensively and buried his face in his hands, more than just a little indecisive about what course of action he was to take.
To confess or not to confess? That was the question.
He glanced up once he realized that Eunhyuk was now standing in front of him, a knowing smirk on his face.
"Hyuk-hyung?"
The older man sat beside him and smirked wider.
Kyuhyun could feel something suspicious because really, Eunhyuk did not smirk. Ever. The maknae had always known him as the guy who smiled a smile which presented his gums to the whole world. The one who did the smirking was Heechul. He shivered inwardly. "Where's Donghae-hyung?"
Eunhyuk pointed his chin toward the door. "Manager-hyung called him out to talk."
Kyuhyun nodded in understanding. "Oh. Is there something I can do for you, hyung?"
The smirk turned into a I-know-something-you-don't-want-me-to-know smile and Kyuhyun sensed danger. "Hyung, can you please stop that? You're creeping me out."
Eunhyuk shook his head slightly and his smile turned into an understanding one. "Just tell him, Kyuhyun-ah, everything's going to turn out better. I promise."
Kyuhyun was about to decide whether he should deny everything or just feign innocence when the older man suddenly slung an arm around his shoulders and whispered, "He likes you too, you know. So why don't you just confess your undying love and just be done with it?"
With that, Eunhyuk stood up, flashed his trademark gummy grin and walked away. Leaving a dumbfounded Kyuhyun gaping at him and his words.
---
The maknae spent most of the next day pondering about Eunhyuk's words. Dozens of questions filled his mind; he couldn't even concentrate on anything.
Finally frustrated enough, he cornered his hyung the next day and demanded an explanation and a clear one at that.
Eunhyuk blinked at the semi-furious young man in front of him and muttered a confused, "Huh?"
Kyuhyun sighed in exasperation. "Hyung, two days ago you told me he likes me too. Who exactly is this he?"
At once, Eunhyuk's expression cleared up and he smiled. "You know who I mean."
"I just want to be sure, hyung."
The dancer's smile got wider. "Sungmin-hyung, of course."
Kyuhyun couldn't decide if he should laugh, cry, or jump for joy. "A-Are you absolutely sure, hyung? I mean, this isn't just some p-prank right? You know to get back on me or something."
Eunhyuk laughed and winked at Kyuhyun. "Of course not, Kyuhyun-ah. You're all he ever talks about after all. Go figure."
---
Because of his hyung's eye-opening revelation, Kyuhyun started to notice things he never really did notice before. Like how Sungmin's eyes would wander to him when the older man didn't think he would be looking or how Sungmin's face would heat up noticeably every time anyone of the members commented that they were really compatible.
These kinds of things made him wonder how long Sungmin had hid his admiration---and also made Kyuhyun want to kick himself for not noticing it sooner.
But now that he was sure that Sungmin really did harbor feelings for him, he needed to plan how to 'confess his undying love and be done with it' as Eunhyuk had termed it.
---
The concert hall, as expected, was already full by the time the fifteen of them had arrived and the excitement, nervousness, and tension was palpable in the air.
With deep breaths and a loud Super Junior, fighting!, they were out on the stage.
Throughout the concert, Kyuhyun found himself drawn towards Sungmin, making their fans cheer loudly. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head and before he could change his mind, Kyuhyun raised the microphone to his mouth during one of their song's interludes and shouted as loud as he can.
"Saranghaeyo, Lee Sungmin!"
The shouts from the fans were enough to deafen him, but Kyuhyun had his eyes focused on the only person who mattered right now. Said person was staring at him wide-eyed and slack-jawed, disbelief plastered all over his delicate features. Kyuhyun wanted nothing more than to approach his hyung and explain, tell him that it was true and not just fan service, but he knew he couldn't. After all, the show must go on.
Half an hour and three more songs later, the concert finally ended. As soon as they got back to the dorm, Kyuhyun grabbed Sungmin's arm and grasped it gently. "Hyung, can we please talk?"
The older man gazed at him for a while before smiling unsurely. "Of course, Kyu."
Kyuhyun led him to the balcony and for a while, no one spoke. The maknae took a deep breath, it was now or never.
He faced Sungmin and looked at him straight in the eye. "Hyung, about earlier----"
Sungmin didn't let him finish as he waved a hand. "Don't worry about it, Kyu. You really made the ELF happy with those words, you know. Although, it would have been better if you had told me in advance that you were planning to do that, so that I could have said something back to----"
The rest of Sungmin's words were drowned when Kyuhyun suddenly pulled him close and whisphered, "I love you, hyung."
Sungmin laughed a little nervously, his arms going aroung his dongsaeng hesitantly. "What are you talking about, Kyu."
"I love you, hyung. I really, really love you."
"Don't joke around, Kyu. There are no cameras here and it's too late to practice for fan service."
Sungmin was about to continue but he stopped short when Kyuhyun faced him with an almost-angry-but-not-quite expression. Slowly and clearly, Kyunhyun repeated his last statement, making sure that Sungmin would understand every syllable.
"I.LOVE.YOU.LEE.SUNG.MIN."
Sungmin had tears in his eyes once he realized that Kyuhyun was dead serious. "A-Are you s-sure?"
Kyuhyun grinned. "Positive."
No words were needed as Sungmin launched himself towards the younger man, latching onto his waist and crying softly. Kyuhyun smiled blissfully and rubbed soothing circles on the other's back.
"Sungmin....?"
The other sniffed before lifting his head and looking up at him. "Hm?"
"Don't you have something to say to me too?"
Sungmin smiled brightly, eyes shining and heart light.
"I love you too, Cho Kyuhyun."
