Summary: Sungmin pretends from being Kyuhyun's fiancee, to his his sister, then back from being his fiancee...then his wife?
Sungmin smiled, happily and joyfully as he sat on the opposite seat of Kyuhyun's. He watches Kyuhyun again, eating the food he made that he wasn't able to focus on his own plate. "How does it taste?" He asks. Kyuhyun looked up at him, chewing and nodded. Sungmin smiled again.
----------------
"What?" Kyuhyun says, getting irritated with Sungmin's stares who is not even eating his food. "Don't stare, that's rude."
"Oh." Sungmin smiled and looked down to his plate.
Later that day, after the whole Sungmin sneaking out as Kyuhyun says because he didn't call him, Kibum unexpectedly came to visit them once again and this time it looks like its just not any visit but a long, long, long visit. "You...are joking." Kyuhyun says, glaring and irritated.
"Really, seriously?" Sungmin asks next with Kibum sitting on the couch opposite to both of them.
Kibum stared at them, trying to find the right reaction or the right words. "Sorry, I know its wrong to ask you this but...there's no one I can go to...I don't have a place to stay." He says, hesitatingly.
"What happened?" Sungmin asks, concerned and worried.
"I...kinda forgot to pay my monthly rent...and my salary comes out next month..." Kibum says, uncomfortably, trying to switch positions in every pause. "Its alright though...I can find other places to stay..." He stares at them, trying to make them pity him, a magazine journalist who doesn't have a place to stay. "I'll just...go." He stands up, smiling, pitying over himself.
"Wait!" Sungmin yells, standing up and walking over to grab his hand. Kyuhyun looked up at them, sighing and rolling over his eyes as he crosses his legs, feeling a bit more irritated and bored. "You can stay here."
Kyuhyun's eyes widened as Kibum smiled widely. "Really?" Kibum gasps.
"What?!" Kyuhyun stood up, yelling in shock. Sungmin didn't even talk about this and they can't just let other people stay in their mansion, especially now that its a magazine journalist. "Are you crazy?" He asks blatantly, looking at Sungmin who is standing beside Kibum with the same facial expression. He them grabbed Sungmin's arm and pulled him far from Kibum to whisper. "What the heck are you doing? We can't let a magazine journalist stay here! Do you want to be busted or what?"
"He's a friend," Sungmin whispers back, trying to convince Kyuhyun. "And a month isn't so long, just let him stay please, I'll be careful I promise!"
"No," Kyuhyun refuses, looking away from Sungmin.
Sungmin pouted and turned around, when he came to look at Kibum who also was looking at him, he smiled and yelled. "Kibum, Kyuhyun says its fine!"
"What?" Kyuhyun turned around immediately but Sungmin already ran back to Kibum, smiling and jumping happily. "Oh my f God, he's gonna die today, I swear," He sighed, glaring at the two who was merry-making just infront of him when he walked over. "Better call the morgue." He took a different direction and walked straight to his room.
"Didja bring your bags?! Didja? Didja???" Sungmin asks Kibum excitedly.
"Yeah, my bags are outside!" Kibum replied with much enthusiasm. Both of them ran happily outside as Kyuhyun saw them when he was about to go back to the kitchen and glared.
"Die, Sungmin, Die." He whispers, not a hint of jealousy but anger. Or vice versa maybe? He puts his hands on his hip, not knowing what to do until he heard the two's voices again that he ran immediately inside the kitchen and ended up peeking outside. He looks at both Kibum and Sungmin, smiling widely, delighted--What the fuck am I doing? He thought to himself as he stood straight and went to grab a glass a water.
He carefully poured enough water inside the glass and drank from it as he closes the fridge with his foot, kicking it. He gulped as Sungmin suddenly came in yelling that Kyuhyun was ridiculously shocked and jumped, letting the glass of water slide from his hands and fall on the floor, breaking into pieces with a loud noise. "Ah!' Kyuhyun gasps.
"Oh no," Sungmin stood back and looked at him before he felt an urge to approach when Kyuhyun walked away from the broken pieces of the glass. "Are you alright?" He asks.
"What do you think?" Kyuhyun replies, once again pissed. "Why do you suddenly come in yelling?"
"Sorry about that," Sungmin apologizes, bowing down. "I'll clean it up for you." He immediately went to grab a broom and a mop.
Kyuhyun sighed and tried to breathe our of too much shock and nervousness that he doesn't even know why its happening to him but its there. He noticed Sungmin mopping the floor slowly to avoid the broken pieces of the glass scatter around the floor. Then Kibum happened to have wanted to go in the kitchen and saw Sungmin mopping the floor on his own, he made a worried face, frowning as he approaches Sungmin, leaving Kyuhyun in his own thoughts.
"Sungson sii, why are you cleaning?" Kibum asks, grabbing the mop from Sungmin.
"Ah, Kyunnie made a mess to I'm cleaning it." Sungmin replies, trying to pull the mop back and smiles.
"Its his mess, why are you cleaning it?"
"Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?"
"No, its his fault so let him clean it." Kibum insists. Kyuhyun butted in, exasperated.
"Yah, I'm letting you stay here so shut your mouth?" Kyuhyun shots back.
"On second thought, I will help you." Kibum smiles mockingly at Kyuhyun as he grabbed the mop from Sungmin, initiating to continue the work.
"Ohh, thanks." Sungmin smiled widely as he took the broom and sweeps the broken pieces of glass on the floor unto the dust pan while playing with Kibum, pretending to sweep Kibum's feet which ended up both of them pushing each other away and laughing.
"A-hem!" Kyuhyun cleared his throat with a jealous pissed face as he looks at them. "Clean it not play with it." He glared before walking away, acting cool when he can still hear their giggles. He sighed and calmed himself, trying to stop his hands from actually punching the wall with mixed feelings of jealousy and irritation, probably anger too. He was about to completely leave when he heard Sungmin gasped.
"Ah!" Sungmin yells.
"Are you alright? What happened?" Kibum asks immediately, bending down Sungmin who was sitting on the floor with his right leg stretched out infront of him. Kyuhyun stood on the doorway, staring at him, thinking whether he should help or not.
"I think I stepped on a broken glass," Sungmin says as he breathes and looked at his right foot with a displeased face.
"Hold on, I'll get some band aid." Kibum stands up, leaving the mops leaning against the table and walked around to look for the First Aid kit, trying to make himself useful. Kyuhyun took his second chance, to not help, so instead he hid himself behind the wall and continued eavesdropping until he get what he wants.
Sungmin watches him and gave up from waiting. "Its on the left cabinet, near the sink." He instructs.
Kibum immediately walked near the sink and opened the cabinet Sungmin pointed and saw the First Aid kit, it was just right there, untouched. Sungmin stood up, using the table beside him to push him up as he tip-toed his right foot. He carefully sat on the chair and waits for Kibum to bring him the First Aid kit. "Aggh..." Sungmin lifted his foot, resting it on his left leg and tried to take the broken glass piece off. "Oww..." He reacts again, feeling the sudden pain.
"Here," Kibum offered him the kit, standing beside him. Sungmin looked up at him and raised an eyebrow, thinking why won't Kibum do it himself? Instead of asking, he simply took the aid kit and placed it on the table, decided to treat it himself and sighed. Well, Kibum was watching him. "Do you need any help?"
"Oh, no," Sungmin smiled at him. "No need, I can do it." He went back to treating his wound which he doesn't know how to do. He can treat other people's wounds but he simply can't put the same care and treatment to his own wound, which he doesn't know why. When he's done, he realized how his treated wound doesn't look so good. The betadine was spread carelessly and the band aid wasn't placed right but he was a but contented with it since the wound was covered.
"It's done," He says, sighing and smiles. "Okay."
"Are you sure?" Kibum asks, suspiciously.
"Oh please," Sungmin glares. "As if you know how to treat a wound," He smiled at pulled Kibum as he stands up. "Come on, let's get back to cleaning!" He hopped painfully, placing a smile on his face. Great, a wound on my toe and my foot. Just great.
-----------------
Afterwards, Kibum decided to take a look at his room. Haven't prepared anything, Sungmin panicked. He was used to turn to Kyuhyun in situations like this but Kyuhyun was nowhere in sight. "Sungson-shii?" Kibum waits.
"Uhh..I-ahh..just stay here for awhile!" Sungmin yelled, pushing Kibum to the couch making him sit.
"Huh?"
"I'll...have to check on the room first...to uhh-make sure its clean and safe!" Sungmin smiled stupidly and ran through the hallways to his room. He was expecting that Kibum will need to have a room but he forgotten about it after all the commotions in the kitchen. His wounds slowed him down, he was getting slower and slower.
Come to think of it, where is useless youngest CEO, Cho Kyuhyun? "That guy...he just left me there..." He says to himself and before he knew it, he already reached his room. He went in and found it empty. "Oh..." He stared at it and he couldn't believe he forgot where his things are, in Kyuhyun's room. "I shouldn't have ran all the way here..." He complained, pouting. "Aisshhh..."
He, once again, carefully walked out of the room and yelled in shock when he suddenly saw a broad body infront of his eyes. "Ahh!" His heart was beating fast and he felt ridiculous for shouting like he had seen a ghost. He looked up and sighed in relief. "Kyuhyun."
"Too much coffee?" Kyuhyun mocked.
Sungmin glared at him and sighed once again, keeping his heart beat still. "I don't drink too much coffee," He defended. He looked at Kyuhyun closely and realized he was just simply passing by since he looked like he was also interrupted by him who suddenly appeared. "Where are you going?" He asks.
"Backyard. Your friend is waiting for you." He ignored almost everything, he simple walked away from him without even looking back. Sungmin sighed, thinking he should be able to get used to this. Since he met Kyuhyun, he always left an impression of being uninterested of almost everything. Including him.
Sungmin sighed once again and decided to walk back to the living room where Kibum was waiting, slowly, so his foot won't hurt too much. Clueless enough, he looked back to see Kyuhyun walking with his back facing him. He doesn't know, he just had that feeling he had to see. He soon reached the living room and saw Kibum leaning on the couch, waiting patiently.
"Kibum," He called and Kibum turned to him. "Turns out your room is fine." He says, while smiling.
"Oh, is the foot alright?" Kibum asks worriedly.
Sungmin looked at his foot and back at Kibum smiling. "Yeah its fine," He walked over and pulled him up from the couch. "Come on, lets get your things to your room!" He yelled happily but avoided hopping.
Sungmin was like really excited that he'll be able to stay with Kibum for a month, this gives him opportunity to get to know him more, he finally found a new friend. On the dark side, it looks like he won't be able to be a guy freely anymore. Well, it doesn't matter, its worth the sacrifice.
"So Sungson-shii--"
"Drop the -shii, just call me Sungson."
"Okay, so Sungson, how long have you been together again? You and Kyuhyun-shii?"
"Ummm, months?"
"Months?!" Kibum gasps.
"No, let me finish!"
"Oh, sorry."
"2 years and 6 months."
"2 years and a half?"
"That's the same!" Sungmin whined.
"Alright alright Sungson." Kibum nods his head while smiling. He didn't mean to disagree, it just sounded like it. "What kind of fiance Kyuhyun-shii is?" Kibum asks next.
Sungmin gulps. Its easy to answer if he'll be honest but it was embarrassing. Even though he and Kibum are closed friends now, he's still a journalist, he'll write anything he'll say. And will probably fold it too. "One of a kind." Sungmin answers, smiling. It was a careful, yet honest answer.
"Oh, I see," Kibum smiles and looks away. "Where's my room gonna be?"
I still am smarter than you... "Oh, we're right here," Sungmin stops when he spotter tha door to his previous room. He smiles at Kibum as he opens the door in front of them, letting Kibum to take a look inside his room. "Here." He says again.
Kibum walked in, looking around, pleased and amazed. "Whoa, this room rocks!" He yells in fascination, Sungmin wanted to comment and tell him he knows that it feels since he used this before, but he has to be careful. "I'll never get bored in this room!"
Sungmin chuckles, seeing the kid side of serious Kibum. "We'll free to make yourself at home."
"Does that mean I have to cook?"
Sungmin blinks and tried to reprocess the question inside his mind before he can answer. "Uh---no, no, I cook..." He says, pointing at himself. "Its okay, I can cook."
"Oh, so it means I have to clean?"
"Yes, yes, that, you can do."
Sungmin helped Kibum unpack his things afterwards but he had to watch Kibum closely, he's a smart guy, sometime he's gonna notice something. While folding some of Kibum's shirts on the floor, Sungmin noticed something on one of the shirts, its the same as Kyuhyun's. "Kibum." He calls to Kibum who was arranging the bed.
Kibum paused and turned to him immediately. "Yeah?"
"Is this yours?" Sungmin asks, lifting the shirt for Kibum to see.
He nods. "Yeah, its mine," He answers.
"Where did you get it?"
"I bought it from a store. Why?"
That's weird, as far as Sungmin can remember, Kyuhyun's clothes aren't branded, its made especially for him. "Oh nothing."
"Okay." Kibum resumed arranging his bed as he folds the blankets. Sungmin, as well, resumed in folding more of Kibum's shirts.
"He almost have the same fashion sense as Kyuhyun..." Sungmin whispers to himself, basing from his observation. "Come to think of it, apart from having different opinions, they seem to be similar in a way," He added, staring blankly and tilting his head.
Spacing out just in the middle of work, Kibum seem to have found a time to tickle Sungmin as he absent-mindedly snapped with his body jumping from shock and chuckling. "Ahhh! Kibum!" Sungmin carefully moved back, laughing this time. "Why did you do that??"
"Sorry, you were spacing out, need any help?" Kibum asks, arms pressed on his stomach as he tried to control his laughter.
"Nah, I can do this on my own," Sungmin smiles and went back folding. Kibum stayed beside him, sitting and watching him. No, scratch that, more like admiring him. Sungmin wasn't that embarrassed, he had this moments when he was in college university before but Kibum does give out a different vibe. Unexpectedly, Sungmin turned to Kibum. "What is it?"
Kibum tilted his head and back as he leaned closer to Sungmin until only a cm away from their noses. "Nothing, you know, you're really beautiful Sungson." Yep, he was admiring him.
Sungmin stared back at Kibum's eyes, it wasn't embarrassing, really, he took it as friend's compliment. "Thanks." He says, curving a smile even in this awkward closeness.
A thug broke their silence and they both turned behind them, almost at the same time and saw Kyuhyun on the door, leaning. "Sorry to disturb but, I have to borrow a fiancee. A girl who have short hair with brown hair and pink streaks at the end."
Kibum smirked and stood straight. "Ah ofcourse, I suppose some business matter?" He asks, Sungmin was staying on the floor, watching them. "Sure."
"Sungson," Kyuhyun called with a round and strict voice, sounded like he was warning Sungmin. "Go out." He instructs, tilting his head to the direction outside the room.
Sungmin, who barely have any choice, stood up and smiled at Kibum before walking out of the room. Kyuhyun waited until Sungmin could get out so he can talk to Kibum. He glared at him, Kibum smiled back. "Follow the rules; hands-off, no free hugs,no sweet socket lines and pervy thoughts aren't allowed."
"But Kyuhyun shii, I haven't broken any of those rules."
"You have. A few times too."
"Oh? Well, I'm delighted." Kibum mocked.
"For the record, she's my fiancee, not yours that theirs but mine."
"The whole world knows that."
"I'm sure you do too," Kyuhyun smirked and walked out, he sees Sungmin walking back to the room when he noticed Kyuhyun wasn't following him. He wasn't supposed to walk first in the first place but he did. Stupidity comes in handy in times like these, thanks to his stupidity, he was able to tell Kibum whose is who. "Where have you been?" Kyuhyun asks teasingly.
"I thought you were following me!" Sungmin whines, pouting and stomping his foot repetitively. "Ah!" He winced and bended his knee to lift his foot.
Kyuhyun saw his pain and grabbed his wrist,pulling him out of nowhere. Sungmin was limping a bit when he was being pulled away, with Kibum watching them from beside the door. "Yah! Kyu-pon!" He yelled, trying to catch the younger man's attention yet he didn't even look back but instead he kept on pulling him stubbornly.
It wasn't long until he realized they were back in the kitchen. Kyuhyun let go of him when they got inside and opened the cabinets, looking for something. Clueless, Sungmin went to sit on the chair near the counter and watches Kyuhyun. He saw Kyuhyun grabbing the first aid kit and walking towards him, he simply stared at him. Don't tell me...
Kyuhyun knelt in front of him and demanded him to lift his foot. Sungmin blushed, but likewise, he didn't really have a choice so he did what Kyuhyun demanded him to do. Kyuhyun held his foot carefully and sighed, disappointed. "God, you're hopeless," He says. "Don't you really know how to treat your own wound? Tsk. Tsk." He added, smacking his tongue his teeth inside his mouth.
Sungmin continued to watch Kyuhyun, even if this wasn't the first time Kyuhyun was treating his wound, it gave him a different feeling this time, a more warm feeling. He can't believe it, Kyuhyun is actually warm. He smiled a little thinking this as Kyuhyun spreads some kind of ointment on his wound softly. Kyuhyun was serious, he likes it, its cute, well atleast for him. When Kyuhyun was putting a new band aid--and properly--he couldn't help but smile widely and sitting up straight. Kyuhyun looked up at him when he noticed Sungmin's other leg swinging. He sighs. "Why are you smiling so widely?"
Sungmin stopped smiling and stared at Kyuhyun, shaking his head. "Uhh--nah, nothing...hehe..."
Kyuhyun, once again, seeming like exasperated, sighed and pushed Sungmin's foot away from him and stood up. "There," He says. "Next time, put the ointment next," He adds. "And put the band aid properly, also try cleaning your wound first before treating it."
Sungmin nods, innocently. "Okay!" Kyuhyun sighs once again, looking away. "Ah, Kyuhyunnie," Kyuhyun turned to him again. "Where were we going by the way just now?"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Kyuhyun yelled, slapping his forehead softly. "Ryeowook called me awhile ago, he said Donghae will be having a party--"
"Wait," Sungmin cut him off. "Donghae? Oh right, I haven't seen him for awhile, where did he went?"
"Its obvious you don't know," Kyuhyun sighs again. "He went with someone off to Japan for some 'business'. They got home yesterday and wanted a party, you wanna come?"
"Ofcourse I want to!" Sungmin yelled happily. "Wait, is it a BIG party?"
"Hmm, let's see...its not. Just us."
Sungmin sighed in relief. "Does that mean I can go there without pretending to be a girl?"
Kyuhyun thought for awhile and nodded. "I suppose."
Sungmin, once again, beamed in a smile and jumped happily. "YAYYY--ah!" He almost tripped but managed to lean on Kyuhyun, in which Kyuhyun caught him, preventing him to fall on the floor. Lately, the floor loves him so much. He looked up at Kyuhyun and smiled. "Thanks."
Kyuhyun was expressionless as he helps Sungmin stand up straight. "I'll sleep now."
"Oh, then I'm going to."
Kyuhyun looked at him for a sec and made up his mind. He sighs. "You really don't have a choice since you let Kibum stay here." Sungmin pouted and looked down. "I don't have either, so let's go." Once again, Kyuhyun manages to grab Sungmin's wrist and pull him as he walks forwards. Sungmin matched the rhythm of Kyuhyun's feet as he walks so he won't feel like he's chasing, he managed to find the right tempo and duration and it doesn't feel like he was resisting at all.
Walking behind Kyuhyun like this, he realized he always had a choice. It was his own choice that he's here, his own decision.

He, once again, carefully walked out of the room and yelled in shock when he suddenly saw a broad body infront of his eyes. "Ahh!" His heart was beating fast and he felt ridiculous for shouting like he had seen a ghost. He looked up and sighed in relief. "Kyuhyun."
"Too much coffee?" Kyuhyun mocked.
Sungmin glared at him and sighed once again, keeping his heart beat still. "I don't drink too much coffee," He defended. He looked at Kyuhyun closely and realized he was just simply passing by since he looked like he was also interrupted by him who suddenly appeared. "Where are you going?" He asks.
"Backyard. Your friend is waiting for you." He ignored almost everything, he simple walked away from him without even looking back. Sungmin sighed, thinking he should be able to get used to this. Since he met Kyuhyun, he always left an impression of being uninterested of almost everything. Including him.
Sungmin sighed once again and decided to walk back to the living room where Kibum was waiting, slowly, so his foot won't hurt too much. Clueless enough, he looked back to see Kyuhyun walking with his back facing him. He doesn't know, he just had that feeling he had to see. He soon reached the living room and saw Kibum leaning on the couch, waiting patiently.
"Kibum," He called and Kibum turned to him. "Turns out your room is fine." He says, while smiling.
"Oh, is the foot alright?" Kibum asks worriedly.
Sungmin looked at his foot and back at Kibum smiling. "Yeah its fine," He walked over and pulled him up from the couch. "Come on, lets get your things to your room!" He yelled happily but avoided hopping.
Sungmin was like really excited that he'll be able to stay with Kibum for a month, this gives him opportunity to get to know him more, he finally found a new friend. On the dark side, it looks like he won't be able to be a guy freely anymore. Well, it doesn't matter, its worth the sacrifice.
"So Sungson-shii--"
"Drop the -shii, just call me Sungson."
"Okay, so Sungson, how long have you been together again? You and Kyuhyun-shii?"
"Ummm, months?"
"Months?!" Kibum gasps.
"No, let me finish!"
"Oh, sorry."
"2 years and 6 months."
"2 years and a half?"
"That's the same!" Sungmin whined.
"Alright alright Sungson." Kibum nods his head while smiling. He didn't mean to disagree, it just sounded like it. "What kind of fiance Kyuhyun-shii is?" Kibum asks next.
Sungmin gulps. Its easy to answer if he'll be honest but it was embarrassing. Even though he and Kibum are closed friends now, he's still a journalist, he'll write anything he'll say. And will probably fold it too. "One of a kind." Sungmin answers, smiling. It was a careful, yet honest answer.
"Oh, I see," Kibum smiles and looks away. "Where's my room gonna be?"
I still am smarter than you... "Oh, we're right here," Sungmin stops when he spotter tha door to his previous room. He smiles at Kibum as he opens the door in front of them, letting Kibum to take a look inside his room. "Here." He says again.
Kibum walked in, looking around, pleased and amazed. "Whoa, this room rocks!" He yells in fascination, Sungmin wanted to comment and tell him he knows that it feels since he used this before, but he has to be careful. "I'll never get bored in this room!"
Sungmin chuckles, seeing the kid side of serious Kibum. "We'll free to make yourself at home."
"Does that mean I have to cook?"
Sungmin blinks and tried to reprocess the question inside his mind before he can answer. "Uh---no, no, I cook..." He says, pointing at himself. "Its okay, I can cook."
"Oh, so it means I have to clean?"
"Yes, yes, that, you can do."
Sungmin helped Kibum unpack his things afterwards but he had to watch Kibum closely, he's a smart guy, sometime he's gonna notice something. While folding some of Kibum's shirts on the floor, Sungmin noticed something on one of the shirts, its the same as Kyuhyun's. "Kibum." He calls to Kibum who was arranging the bed.
Kibum paused and turned to him immediately. "Yeah?"
"Is this yours?" Sungmin asks, lifting the shirt for Kibum to see.
He nods. "Yeah, its mine," He answers.
"Where did you get it?"
"I bought it from a store. Why?"
That's weird, as far as Sungmin can remember, Kyuhyun's clothes aren't branded, its made especially for him. "Oh nothing."
"Okay." Kibum resumed arranging his bed as he folds the blankets. Sungmin, as well, resumed in folding more of Kibum's shirts.
"He almost have the same fashion sense as Kyuhyun..." Sungmin whispers to himself, basing from his observation. "Come to think of it, apart from having different opinions, they seem to be similar in a way," He added, staring blankly and tilting his head.
Spacing out just in the middle of work, Kibum seem to have found a time to tickle Sungmin as he absent-mindedly snapped with his body jumping from shock and chuckling. "Ahhh! Kibum!" Sungmin carefully moved back, laughing this time. "Why did you do that??"
"Sorry, you were spacing out, need any help?" Kibum asks, arms pressed on his stomach as he tried to control his laughter.
"Nah, I can do this on my own," Sungmin smiles and went back folding. Kibum stayed beside him, sitting and watching him. No, scratch that, more like admiring him. Sungmin wasn't that embarrassed, he had this moments when he was in college university before but Kibum does give out a different vibe. Unexpectedly, Sungmin turned to Kibum. "What is it?"
Kibum tilted his head and back as he leaned closer to Sungmin until only a cm away from their noses. "Nothing, you know, you're really beautiful Sungson." Yep, he was admiring him.
Sungmin stared back at Kibum's eyes, it wasn't embarrassing, really, he took it as friend's compliment. "Thanks." He says, curving a smile even in this awkward closeness.
A thug broke their silence and they both turned behind them, almost at the same time and saw Kyuhyun on the door, leaning. "Sorry to disturb but, I have to borrow a fiancee. A girl who have short hair with brown hair and pink streaks at the end."
Kibum smirked and stood straight. "Ah ofcourse, I suppose some business matter?" He asks, Sungmin was staying on the floor, watching them. "Sure."
"Sungson," Kyuhyun called with a round and strict voice, sounded like he was warning Sungmin. "Go out." He instructs, tilting his head to the direction outside the room.
Sungmin, who barely have any choice, stood up and smiled at Kibum before walking out of the room. Kyuhyun waited until Sungmin could get out so he can talk to Kibum. He glared at him, Kibum smiled back. "Follow the rules; hands-off, no free hugs,no sweet socket lines and pervy thoughts aren't allowed."
"But Kyuhyun shii, I haven't broken any of those rules."
"You have. A few times too."
"Oh? Well, I'm delighted." Kibum mocked.
"For the record, she's my fiancee, not yours that theirs but mine."
"The whole world knows that."
"I'm sure you do too," Kyuhyun smirked and walked out, he sees Sungmin walking back to the room when he noticed Kyuhyun wasn't following him. He wasn't supposed to walk first in the first place but he did. Stupidity comes in handy in times like these, thanks to his stupidity, he was able to tell Kibum whose is who. "Where have you been?" Kyuhyun asks teasingly.
"I thought you were following me!" Sungmin whines, pouting and stomping his foot repetitively. "Ah!" He winced and bended his knee to lift his foot.
Kyuhyun saw his pain and grabbed his wrist,pulling him out of nowhere. Sungmin was limping a bit when he was being pulled away, with Kibum watching them from beside the door. "Yah! Kyu-pon!" He yelled, trying to catch the younger man's attention yet he didn't even look back but instead he kept on pulling him stubbornly.
It wasn't long until he realized they were back in the kitchen. Kyuhyun let go of him when they got inside and opened the cabinets, looking for something. Clueless, Sungmin went to sit on the chair near the counter and watches Kyuhyun. He saw Kyuhyun grabbing the first aid kit and walking towards him, he simply stared at him. Don't tell me...
Kyuhyun knelt in front of him and demanded him to lift his foot. Sungmin blushed, but likewise, he didn't really have a choice so he did what Kyuhyun demanded him to do. Kyuhyun held his foot carefully and sighed, disappointed. "God, you're hopeless," He says. "Don't you really know how to treat your own wound? Tsk. Tsk." He added, smacking his tongue his teeth inside his mouth.
Sungmin continued to watch Kyuhyun, even if this wasn't the first time Kyuhyun was treating his wound, it gave him a different feeling this time, a more warm feeling. He can't believe it, Kyuhyun is actually warm. He smiled a little thinking this as Kyuhyun spreads some kind of ointment on his wound softly. Kyuhyun was serious, he likes it, its cute, well atleast for him. When Kyuhyun was putting a new band aid--and properly--he couldn't help but smile widely and sitting up straight. Kyuhyun looked up at him when he noticed Sungmin's other leg swinging. He sighs. "Why are you smiling so widely?"
Sungmin stopped smiling and stared at Kyuhyun, shaking his head. "Uhh--nah, nothing...hehe..."
Kyuhyun, once again, seeming like exasperated, sighed and pushed Sungmin's foot away from him and stood up. "There," He says. "Next time, put the ointment next," He adds. "And put the band aid properly, also try cleaning your wound first before treating it."
Sungmin nods, innocently. "Okay!" Kyuhyun sighs once again, looking away. "Ah, Kyuhyunnie," Kyuhyun turned to him again. "Where were we going by the way just now?"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Kyuhyun yelled, slapping his forehead softly. "Ryeowook called me awhile ago, he said Donghae will be having a party--"
"Wait," Sungmin cut him off. "Donghae? Oh right, I haven't seen him for awhile, where did he went?"
"Its obvious you don't know," Kyuhyun sighs again. "He went with someone off to Japan for some 'business'. They got home yesterday and wanted a party, you wanna come?"
"Ofcourse I want to!" Sungmin yelled happily. "Wait, is it a BIG party?"
"Hmm, let's see...its not. Just us."
Sungmin sighed in relief. "Does that mean I can go there without pretending to be a girl?"
Kyuhyun thought for awhile and nodded. "I suppose."
Sungmin, once again, beamed in a smile and jumped happily. "YAYYY--ah!" He almost tripped but managed to lean on Kyuhyun, in which Kyuhyun caught him, preventing him to fall on the floor. Lately, the floor loves him so much. He looked up at Kyuhyun and smiled. "Thanks."
Kyuhyun was expressionless as he helps Sungmin stand up straight. "I'll sleep now."
"Oh, then I'm going to."
Kyuhyun looked at him for a sec and made up his mind. He sighs. "You really don't have a choice since you let Kibum stay here." Sungmin pouted and looked down. "I don't have either, so let's go." Once again, Kyuhyun manages to grab Sungmin's wrist and pull him as he walks forwards. Sungmin matched the rhythm of Kyuhyun's feet as he walks so he won't feel like he's chasing, he managed to find the right tempo and duration and it doesn't feel like he was resisting at all.
Walking behind Kyuhyun like this, he realized he always had a choice. It was his own choice that he's here, his own decision.
