Enlightened Part 2
“Hyung, can we talk?” Kyuhyun asked nervously.
Sungmin gulped down the lump that had formed on his throat before answering. “Y-yeah.”
Kyuhyun sat down beside him. Sungmin braced himself for anything that Kyuhyun would say. Maybe something along the lines of í hate you’ or something like that would be said but his expectations were broken. “Do you know where Leeteuk hyung is?”
Sungmin literally felt a big rock land over him. Do you know the feeling that the main character in an anime gets when he plans something awesome and it goes wrong? It’s something like that. “Uh, he’s with Yesung and Heechul hyung, I think.”
“Thanks.” Kyuhyun mumbled before heading towards the hyungs.
Sungmin could feel his jaw drop in disbelief. Kyuhyun talked to him for the first time after avoiding him just to ask where Leeteuk was? There was no way that the pink lover was prepared for that. Maybe it’s a good thing since Sungmin isn’t really ready to talk to him either but still . . . He continued to mull things over until it’s time to go home and he’s shocked to see that Kyuhyun is coming with them.
“Sungmin hyung, hurry up.” Kibum pushed him a little from the back.
Sungmin stared at Kibum. “Bummie, where’s Yesung hyung?”
“He’s still with the 83 liners. I think they’re lecturing Kyu.”
“Lecturing Kyu about what?”
“You know, running away from home. Something like that I think.”
Hangeng heard their conversation. “Come on, you two. They’ll be coming soon so get in the van. Heechul’s already in a bad mood as it is.”
“Why is hyung in a bad mood?” Kibum asked as he got in the van.
“Jaejoong talked to him for hours about Kyuhyun’s condition since he kept on getting drunk with changmin. Apparently loneliness can’t be dealt alone so you get the picture.” Hangeng explained while shaking his head.
“And if Jaejoong hyung is unhappy, I’m pretty sure Yunho hyung is quite unhappy also.” Donghae chimed in.
Heechul’s voice was heard even before the dongsaengs could see him. “Honestly, Kyuhyun, if you planned on staying there, could you at least take better care of yourself? You could take Changmin to drink anytime you want because he can handle his alcohol well. BUT! Inviting Kim Jaejoong to drink with you also?! Can’t you not see just by his looks that he can’t drink?! Yunho was traumatized by the wild side of Jae he saw which is both a good and bad thing but still! My innocent dongsaeng is now tainted!”
“Heechul hyung, I think that’s enough.” Yesung whispered shyly.
“Keep out of this, Jongwoon! Kibum, drag your boy friend beside you so I don’t start yelling at him also.” Heechul hissed.
Kibum quickly walked towards his frowning boy friend. “It’s okay, Sungie ah. Heechul hyung is concerned with you in a twisted way.”
Yesung leaned his head to Kibum and sighed. “I know that. It’s just that I feel bad for Kyuhyun.”
Kibum stared at his hyung then at Sungmin. “You should go talk to him.”
Sungmin pointed to himself and gulped. “W-why me?”
“You’re the only person Kyuhyun would really talk to. Besides, I’m not having my Yesungie talk to him then get scolded by hyung again.” Kibum reasoned.
The 83 liners finally went inside the van also followed by Kyuhyun who was keeping his eyes downcast. No one dared speak in the van since they know that Heechul was still in a bad mood. Once they arrived at the dorm, Hangeng carried Heechul up to their dorms and well, kept his mouth busy. The others followed behind with a couple of mutters and roll of eyes but of course, they were thankful. Leeteuk seemed extra tired and quickly headed for bed instead of lecturing the others.
“Let’s just all go to bed, alright?” Yesung told the younger ones since all his hyungs were busy.
Donghae dragged Eunhyuk to their room with his eyes closing already. “Neh, Yesung hyung.”
“Hae, I have something to say to Minnie hyung. Wait here, okay?” Hyukkie said while making his boy friend lean against the wall.
“Hyukkie, you should let fishy sleep. Just look at him.” Sungmin nodded his head towards Donghae who was almost falling.
“He’ll be fine.” Eunhyuk said with a slight edge of worry. “Anyway, I wanted to tell you that this is the perfect chance to talk to Kyu. It’s better now that later.”
Sungmin bit down his lower lip. “I don’t know, Hyukkie. What if he doesn’t want to talk to me?”
“You don’t know that. Go.” Eunhyuk pushed his hyung when he saw Kyuhyun heading towards their room.
“Okay, Eunhyuk hyung. Stop playing cupid and get your ass to bed also. Donghae hyung is already sleeping on the floor by the way.” Kibum patted his hyung’s back.
“Aigoo! Hae!” Eunhyuk rushed to his boy friend’s side. “he’s not even hurt. Aish. What’s up with your bossy attitude, Bummie?”
Kibum sighed. “Yesung won’t sleep until every dongsaeng is sleeping. Wookie and Donghee hyung are already sleeping. Kyuhyun headed to his room already. Siwon hyung is still taping and isn’t his problem so that leaves you guys”
“Yeah, yeah. We’re going.” Eunhyuk muttered as he slung one arm of Donghae around his shoulders. “Fighting, Minnie hyung!”
Kibum smiled at them and carried Yesung in their own bedroom. “Good luck, Sungmin hyung.”
Sungmin nodded to both his dongsaengs and headed to his shared room with Kyuhyun. The room was covered in darkness and the pink lover wasn’t sure how to proceed. What if Kyuhyun was already sleeping? He shouldn’t wake him up just for a stupid talk. He padded his way towards his bed and quietly lay down. He felt the soreness of his body but his mind couldn’t register it. His brain was too busy with all the thoughts running all around it and his heart was thrumming. He tossed and turned on his bed and it was driving him nuts.
“Sungmin hyung?” a voice suddenly called out.
The said man paused his tossing. “Yes, Kyu?”
“Can’t sleep?”
“Uh, no.”
“Want to come sleep with me?” Kyuhyun shyly asked.
Sungmin could hear his heart racing against his chest even faster, “S-sure.”
Kyuhyun slowly stood up in his bed and patted the space beside him. “I won’t kick you. I promise.”
Sungmin just nodded and made his way to the other’s bed. The magnae moved a little so his hyung could have some more space. Kyu wound his arms around his hyung’s smaller body and relaxed. Sungmin wished he could do the same but it was obvious his heart didn’t have the same plans for him.
“Hyung, you really won’t sleep if you’re so tense.” Kyuhyun whispered against Sungmin’s ear.
Sungmin felt shivers running along his spine. “S-sorry, I guess.”
Silence enveloped them.
“Uh Kyuhyun, mind if I ask you something?” Sungmin broke their silence.
“Go ahead.”
“What exactly did Jaejoong that made Yunho well . . . what exactly did Yunho do also?”
To Sungmin’s surprise, Kyuhyun laughed. “You should have seen it, hyung. I bet if Heechul hyung was there, he wouldn’t have scolded me as much. Yunho hyung was really trapped between killing me and thanking me for what I have done.”
“Yunho killing you means that you hurt Jaejoong.” Sungmin sighed. “Kyu, that’s really. . .”
“Hyung, I didn’t harm Jaejoong hyung in any way. He just drank with us but Heechul hyung was right. He can’t keep his alcohol down. Then he started begging Yunho hyung to take off his clothes since it was so hot. He said that while all the members of DBSK were in the living room.”
“Oh.” Sungmin pictured it with his mind then he laughed also. “I see why Yunho was torn apart then.”
Kyuhyun laughed also then pulled his hyung closer to him then drifted off to sleep. Sungmin finally let his body relax as he snuggled to Kyuhyun’s chest. Maybe things wouldn’t be so awkward afterall.
“So, Kyuhyun, are you going to ask Sungmin out then?”Heechul said frankly while they were headed to their schedules.
Everyone in the van tried to contain their snickers when Kyuhyun and Sungmin blushed. Heechul clapped his hands while laughing until Leeteuk finally stopped laughing and told him to cut it out.
“Aish, Heechul hyung. . .” Sungmin muttered.
Eunhyuk patted his arm comfortingly. “It’s okay, Minnie hyung.”
“Yeah. Hyukkie’s right, hyung. Besides, all of us are already counting on the two of you to get together.’ Donghae piped in while leaning on Eunhyuk.
“All of you?” Sungmin asked.
“Yeah, well, we know you guys love each other.” Donghae grinned as if that was the best explanation in the world.
“Yah, Donghae hyung stop pestering hyung.” Kyuhyun glared at Fishy.
‘You’re just jealous.” Hae stuck out his tongue but stopped bothering Sungmin.
Kyuhyun didn’t understand what he was doing the rest of the day. He had promised to himself that he wouldn’t be like this, that he’d take things slowly so he wouldn’t force his hyung to anything. As it happened, he was hovering around Sungmin so much that day. It’s practically like Eunhae without all the childish antics added. Leeteuk smiled appreciatively at them every time Kyuhyun did something sweet for Sungmin and would tell the others to back away from the two. Kyuhyun wasn’t sure if his hyung minded what he did but when that lovely blush would spread across Sungmin’s face, the magnae’s heart would just accelerate. How deeply in love he was.
“Hyung, I’m sorry.” Kyuhyun said while they were preparing to go to bed.
Sungmin cocked his head to the side. “Sorry for what, kyu?”
“I’m . . . such a . . . I don’t know. I’m hanging around you too much.”
“But I liked it.” Sungmin muttered then blushed.
“You do?”
“Uh . . . I’m going to bed now.” Sungmin quickly jumped under the covers.
Kyuhyun chuckled then walked over to his hyung’s bed. “No, you’re not. Come on, hyung. Repeat what you said.”
Sungmin didn’t budge and stayed under the covers.
Kyuhyun pulled the covers. “hyung, this is childish!”
Sungmin pulled on the covers also. “Says the boy pulling the covers!”
“You’re pulling them too!”
“You started it!” Sungmin pulled harder which made Kyuhyun land on top of him.
“Kyuhyun, Sungmin, what the heck are you guys so noisy about?!”Kangin screamed then opened the door.
Heechul snickered when he saw their position. “I told you Kyuhyun’s manly enough. Let’s leave them, youngwoon. They look busy.”
Kyuhyun and Sungmin stared at each other before they laughed. The younger noticed that he was still on top of his hyung and decided to take advantage of the situation. He started tickling Sungmin so hard that the older thought he was going to cry.
“Oh God, Kyu, stop.” Sungmin panted.
Kyuhyun grinned at him. “So, what did you say again?”
“I said I like it, happy?”
“Yes.” Kyuhyun grinned again.
Kyuhyun kissed Sungmin at the forehead at first then headed for his lips. Sungmin was surprised at the flow of things but all coherent thoughts already fled his mind when Kyu’s mouth found his. They continued kissing passionately until they both had to breathe.
“I’m guessing you love me, too, right?” Kyuhyun said teasingly but the worry was evident in his eyes.
“Yes, i love you.” Sungmin replied with a smile. “I’m not fully healed yet but I know I can’t handle it if you’re not with me.”
“That’s something you don’t have to worry about; I won’t leave you.” Kyuhyun said sincerely.
