CHAPTER 11 Eunhyuk stays at hospital while Sungmin and Donghyuk go home. Actually Sungmin wanted to stay but Eunhyuk said, “At least you have to eat your dinner and dry your wet clothes. I can borrow Donghae’s shirt. I’ll stay here for… yah, pay debt to Kyuhyun.”
After all, she still can go back to hospital if she wants to. But her parents are home now. No matter what, she will go back to hospital.
All she thinks of is this one: Donghyuk is Kyuhyun’s brother. She feels suspicious so she asks the older man who is now driving.
“Oppa, you consider me as your sibling, don’t you?” she starts.
“Hmm, why?”
“Can you please tell me about your family?”
Donghyuk stares at Sungmin. “Why do you wanna know?”
“Easy,” Sungmin smiles. “I consider you as my own oppa and so do you. It means, I must know your background. If I know nothing about you, so what’s with the ‘siblings’ thing?”
Donghyuk sighs. Then he starts his story.
Cho Donghyuk was born in an educational family. His father is a professor, and his mother is a headmistress. In this condition, he supposed to be able to read and write at least at age 3 or 4, but he can’t. His parents always got angry to him because of that. “How come you can’t read this easy text? For goodness sake, you’re seven and you are about to have new sibling! What can you show to him or her when you can’t read nor write?” that was his father said.
Then, Cho Kyuhyun was given a birth. He grew up well, could read and write at almost age 4, liked to do some math exercise, and so on. At first, he felt proud to be his brother, but his father’s words changed everything.
“Why couldn’t you be like Kyuhyun, huh? You see him; he’s wonderful.”
Since that time, he decided to practice reading and writing. He studied so hard, went to bed at 11 pm and woke up again at 3 am just to get better score. His sacrifice was a little bit success, but his father never sees that. He saw only Kyuhyun, Kyuhyun, and Kyuhyun, who joined Physics Olympiad and got the gold medal.
Donghyuk thought about why can’t he be like Kyuhyun. In his 20, he decided to go to a doctor. But the result didn’t make any sense although it was too shockingly to the doctor.
“You have dyslexia and you just ask me NOW?”
And because of this reason, he left. But pitifully, he forgot (or he really meant it) the diagnostic sheet on his desk.
“Too bad,” Sungmin says. “Oppa, you do know that Kyuhyun loves you, right?”
Donghyuk nods slowly. “Yeah…”
Sungmin sighs. “I have a happy family. I can’t say it’s very happy one, because it isn’t. But at least, I still have Hyojoo umma, Seunggi appa, Hyukjae… Although umma and appa always go away leaving Hyukjae and me for business, I know it’s for our future.”
Donghyuk keeps in silence but he listens to his Agassi carefully.
“Especially Hyukjae. He always be there when I need shoulder to cry on, share story together, do homeworks together, hang out together with Ryeowook, Yesung oppa, and Kangin oppa… I don’t know if umma didn’t give birth to him, whom I will survive those all conditions with.”
Donghyuk now understands the goal of Sungmin’s speech.
“I love my Hyukjae. That’s why I call him Eunhyuk. He’s my silver, really,” she smiles. “At least, when your parents can’t be there for you but you have sibling who loves you so much no matter what you are like, love him. Just don’t care whether he’s the Olympiad winner or maybe the moron one, but he’s your brother, a brother who sacrifices a lot for you.”
Donghyuk tries so hard to not crying, but it fails.
“What if… but I don’t wish it either-what if Kyuhyun dies?”
Suddenly, Donghyuk stops the car to the side of the road. Donghyuk leans to the stir, crying. Sungmin pats Donghyuk’s back smoothly, trying to calm him down.
“Honestly,” Donghyuk murmurs, “I love Kyuhyun more than anyone knows, even myself. I love my appa, I love my umma… they just never see me. I envy Kyuhyun a lot, but I can’t deny too… I miss that kid. I miss his smirks, his evil laugh, his han gang ramen, his beautiful voice when singing ‘7 Years of Love’…”
Sungmin smiles.
“I can’t… he mustn’t die. I was happy when I saw him, when he hugged me… he can’t die just because of that accident, he must survive… I haven’t seen him for two years, I don’t want it turns to be longer than two years…”
“I understand,” Sungmin says, “we’ll visit him again after arriving home, taking a bath, and having dinner, okay?”
-------------!@#$%^&*()-------------
“Hyung, I’m sorry,” says Eunhyuk. “I-I punched him before he had the accident.”
Yesung glares at Eunhyuk. “Just why did you do that?”
Eunhyuk feels guilty. “He made my noona cried.”
Yesung frowns and so do Ryeowook, Heechul, Donghae, and Kibum who sit beside him. “Eh? Why? Something happened between them? Kyuhyun and Sungmin?”
Slowly, Eunhyuk nods. “Kyuhyun is in love with Sungmin noona, and so is her. Kyuhyun kissed noona, and I thought he hurt her because of that, but I was totally wrong. Noona cried because she didn’t know what she supposes to do, keeping Kangin hyung’s promise or break it.”
The others shape an ‘O’ in their lips except Yesung. The man sighs and smiles weakly, “I now understand why Kangin wanted Kyuhyun to take care of Sungmin while he joins military. I supposed to know it at the first place, but I denied it.”
“Why?” Eunhyuk asks.
“He wanted them to become lovers.”
Everybody frowns.
Heechul smirks. “Don’t say he’s gay.” But he gets a slap from Ryeowook. In the other hand, Eunhyuk and Donghae flinch.
“Oppa, don’t say like that!”
Yesung chuckles the fake one. “How do you know?”
Ryeowook turns to Yesung. “Oppa? What do you mean?”
Heechul folds his arms on the chest. “My intuition. Gays who have girlfriends maybe will do like what he did,” then he stands up, taking Kibum and Ryeowook’s hand. “I know you know it, but he’s still your brother, right? I’m also still your brother-in-law going-to be,” he smiles. “Ryeowook, Kibum, let’s go home. Umma and appa phoned me awhile ago.”
Ryeowook and Kibum can’t help but follow Heechul. After throwing a kiss-bye for Yesung, Ryeowook goes away.
Yesung looks down. Eunhyuk and Donghae look at each other, thinking is it the right time to confess everything?
“So Heechul hyung is also gay,” Yesung murmurs. “He read Kangin easily. Kangin is gay… that’s why he asked to join military first. He wanted to refresh his mind. His eyes. Tch.”
Eunhyuk and Donghae gulp.
“I should’ve known it at first… I was too excited when he told me that he was going to confess to Sungmin. I even didn’t think of anything else. I completely forgot that he’s still gay.”
“Hyung…” Donghae calls.
“…yeah?” Yesung lifts his head.
“Gay is still human,” Donghae says. “The appearance may be man, but the soul can be a girl. Just like that, soul placed in a wrong body.”
Yesung smiles. “Yeah, you’re right…”
“Just like us.”
Yesung pauses, immediately turning to Donghae and Eunhyuk. “Huh? You two?”
Eunhyuk nods, Donghae nods, but Yesung can only palms his face.
-------------!@#$%^&*()-------------
Mr. Lee is waiting for Donghyuk and Sungmin impatiently while Mrs. Lee and Hankyung look at him. When a sound of a car comes closer, he hurriedly opens the gate. And he’s right, Donghyuk and Sungmin arrive home.
“Sungmin-ah, how are you?” Mr. Lee opens the door and hugs his daughter. “Why are you wet?”
“I’ll explain later, I wanna take a bath,” she says as she pulls away the hugging and then away to the house. She kissed her mother lightly on the cheek then continues walking to her room, leaving the confused Mr. Lee, Mrs. Lee, and Hankyung.
Donghyuk was about to enter the house but Mrs. Lee stops him. “What happened, Donghyuk?”
“We’re gonna go back to hospital after dinner, I have to see my brother. We’re in hurry.”
“You haven’t explained that you have a brother,” Mr. Lee interrupts. “And what’s the connection between Sungmin and your brother? You can visit him by yourself, right?”
Donghyuk sighs. “My brother is… Sungmin-ssi’s lover.”
Both Mr. and Mrs. Lee gasp. “I thought Sungmin’s lover was Kim Youngwoon?” Mrs. Lee asks.
“No, but my bro-wait,” he realizes. “Kim Youngwoon?”
“Yes, he’s… hmm… Sungmin’s friend’s boyfriend’s brother,” she tries to remember. “How long.”
Youngwoon is Sungmin’s boyfriend? What is it? “Good. He’s my cousin. And now she loves my brother, Kyuhyun.”
“Ah, I don’t get it,” Mr. Lee yells. “Anyway, can I talk to you at dinner time? With Sungmin and Hankyung.”
Donghyuk frowns and turns to Hankyung with a face saying ‘what is it now?’ but the Chinese man just raises his shoulders. “Hmm… okay. I’ll take a bath first.”
Sungmin has her dinner quickly and Donghyuk too. Everybody there just look awkwardly to them. Sungmin then finishes eating but Mr. Lee grabs her hand. “I need to talk with you.”
So Sungmin sits again. She frowns. “What happened?”
Donghyuk and Hankyung stops eating. Hankyung glares at Sungmin. Here we go, lady.
Mr. Lee sighs. “Sungmin,” he starts, “between Hankyung and Donghyuk, who do you prefer?”
Sungmin wrinkles her forehead. “What?”
“Just answer, dear,” says Mrs. Lee.
Hesitantly, Sungmin throws glares at both of Donghyuk and Hankyung. “Hmm…” she turns to her father, “they have their own goods. I think Hankyung oppa is kind and loving, and so is Donghyuk oppa, they both are charming with their own way.”
“Comparing to Youngwoon, who’s better?” Mr. Lee continues asking.
Sungmin feels more awkward. “Kangin-Youngwoon oppa is my boyfriend.”
“And who’s Kyuhyun?” Mrs. Lee asks.
Hearing that, Sungmin glares to Donghyuk with face saying ‘what did you tell them huh?’ and turns back to her parents. “A friend. Donghyuk oppa’s brother. My junior at school.”
“Sungmin,” Mr. Lee calls smoothly, “what if I send you to continue your study to Japan?”
“Appa, you’re confusing me,” Sungmin mumbles. “At first you ask me about Donghyuk oppa, Hankyung oppa, Youngwoon oppa, and also Kyuhyun, but now you ask about sending me to Japan.”
“Sorry,” her father apologizes. “Listen, I want to send you to Japan. You said to me years ago, you wanted to study there, right?”
Sungmin nods hesitantly. I wanted to, but I’m sure I’ll miss Kyuhyun Kangin oppa so bad. Eh, he’s joining military, I forget that one.
“Then, after you finish high school, you can go there,” Mr. Lee smiles. “While you’re studying there, please think about…” he pauses, “between Donghyuk and Hankyung.”
“WHAT?!” Sungmin automatically stands up after hearing that. Her face turns red; she’s getting mad. “YOU’RE GONNA PAIR ME WITH DONGHYUK OPPA OR HANKYUNG OPPA WHEN I STILL HAVE BOYFRIEND?!”
“Sungmin, calm down,” Mrs. Lee stands up too, pats her daughter’s shoulder.
“Appa, I tell you,” Sungmin becomes impatient. “I never ask something that you can’t give me, I never try to burden you and umma, and I even never say this sarcastic statement. But why do you try to kill me?! It’s not fair for us; for me nor Donghyuk oppa and Hankyung oppa. Marriage is not a game! I just wanna marry someone I love rather than someone my parents love! I know, I do know that appa and umma married because haraboji and halmoni paired you two, but don’t do that for me! It’s 2010!”
“Sungmin! How dare you yell at me, your appa?!” Mr. Lee stands up.
Donghyuk and Hankyung glares at each other.
“Sorry, appa, but that is words I really want to say to you from a long time ago,” Sungmin says, her voice turns slow. “Have you ever asked me or Hyukjae what we really want?”
After that, Mr. and Mrs. Lee shut their mouth, can’t say any words.
“We just want you two to be always at home, accompany us studying, having breakfast and dinner together, and a lot of family activities that we never taste. Simple. But not to be paired.”
“It’s for business, Sungmin-”
“Oh yeah, if your child is Lee Business, not Lee Sungmin nor Lee Hyukjae,” Sungmin says with forcing smile, holding tears that come out. “Anyway, thanks for sending me to Japan. I’ll take that if you really want me to. Donghyuk oppa, let’s go to the hospital.”
Sungmin then walks away to the car followed by Donghyuk while Mr. and Mrs. Lee look down. They lean on the chair.
“Hankyung, tell me…” Mrs. Lee says, “are we wrong? Am I wrong?”
Hankyung smiles. “Sorry to say, but she’s completely right. She has her own choice and so do I. So does Donghyuk, of course. You can’t force something she can’t do at all.”
Mr. Lee looks at the family photograph in the living room. He sighs.
“Hyojoo, I forget this one…” he murmurs. “I totally forget that they grow up.”
-------------!@#$%^&*()-------------
Leeteuk is ready to sleep when Kangin goes away. Seeing the others are in a deep sleep, he secretly follows Kangin. He figures out that Kangin walks to the bench near the dormitory. Noticing someone behind him, Kangin turns. Leeteuk gasps.
“Hyung?”
Leeteuk giggles. “Hehehe…” he comes closer to Kangin, sitting beside the younger man. “What are you doing?”
Kangin stares at the stars. “Thinking of someone…”
“Sungmin?”
Kangin nods. “Suddenly, I think about her. It’s like… something happened to her, but I’m not sure either.”
Leeteuk feels something weird in his chest, mind, and heart. “She… she will be okay, I’m sure.”
“I know she’s type of strong girl, after all,” Kangin smiles. “On the sky, there are never be star of Sungmin and me. But maybe, a star is ready to be added soon.”
Leeteuk looks at Kangin, touching his own chest. What is it? Fast heartbeat…?
“Hyung,” Kangin starts, “if I love a man, it doesn’t matter, right? I’m gay, so it’s not a big deal if I love boy or man or maybe haraboji as long as he’s male, right?”
Leeteuk nods hesitantly.
Kangin turns to Leeteuk. “Hyung, I wanna be in love.”
“Go on.”
“But I think I’m in love now.”
“…huh? Oh, Good, then. With who? Me?” Leeteuk chuckles, but in his heart he hopes so.
Kangin smiles. “Can I?”
Leeteuk stops chuckling. “Huh? What?”
“Can I fall in love with Park Jungsu?”
Leeteuk gasps. His heartbeat gets faster and faster. He stares at the younger man in front of him. Slowly, his hands and lips are trembling. He knows it’s a sin; man loving man is a sin. But he’s a girl trapped in a man’s body. At least, that’s what he thought.
“You must be kidding me,” Leeteuk says and soon he feels like has just made a mistakes.
“Nope. I’m serious. But I don’t wanna date you now. We’re still in military, soon if we finish it, let’s date… will you?” Kangin asks hopefully.
“And Sungmin? What about her? And your promise to marry her?” Leeteuk reminds him.
Kangin widens his smile. “So you’re also in love with me, right?”
“Eh?” Leeteuk gasps again. “What are you talking about?”
“You,” Kangin points at Leeteuk. “About Sungmin… I don’t know why, but I think she’s now in love with my cousin. None told me, but my intuition says that. Even if it’s wrong, I wish she can fall in love with him. Besides, when I saw Kyuhyun’s eyes while looking at Sungmin, it’s like saying that he was entranced by her.”
“Kangin-ah…”
“Tell me, you’re in love with me too, right?” Kangin insists.
Leeteuk bites his lower lip, frowning. “What if I say no? What if I say yes?”
Kangin smiles. “If you say no, I’ll keep insisting you. If you say yes… let’s go back to dorm.”
“I’m sleepy, let’s go back, then,” Leeteuk says, turning back and walks to the dorm.
Kangin widens eyes then smiles widely. He knows the answer.
But unfortunately, without them knowing, somebody has heard all of the conversation. Maybe, big news is now ready to serve.
