Pairings: KyuMin, Hanchul, HeeWook, KangTeuk, EunHae, HenWook, KiMin, YeWon
Summary: Ryeowook and Sungmin are close, too close for some people's liking.... jealousy and hate are two very dangerous emotions and they're embedded in the hearts of two very dangerous people. High school is tough enough but when you have someone who is obsessing over you, it can make things worse tenfold....
A/N: Final chapter~!
Kangin stared in shock as he registered what Eeteuk had just told him. "You quit? But why?" He asked. "There are others much younger than me that can do better than me. I am tired Kangin. I'm about to be 32 years old. I'm not very young anymore. I want to spend my time with you and my friends." He said softly, taking Kangin's hand. Kangin hugged him, feeling like he needed to. "Mianhae. I didn't know you would be this worried." He said quietly.
Zhou Mi, despite it being night, put on his shades and walked towards a cab. Kyuhyun followed him like a puppy. "I'll pay my part of the cab." He said when Zhou Mi tried to shoo him off. He rolled his eyes and let Kyu in. He dialed Hankyung's number, waiting for the answer. "Gege you better pick up."
Zhoumi frowned when it went to voicemail. "Geng, I'm in the States. What hotel are you staying at?" He paused before pulling the phone away from him and looked at the driver. "Take us to the Hilton, please." Once the driver nodded and started driving, he placed the phone back to his ear. "Call me back as soon as you can. I need to talk to you."
Kyuhyun stayed quiet, deciding that irritating him wouldn't be a good thing at that point. He stared out the window and waited until they arrived at the hotel. Once they were inside, Zhoumi grumbled under his breath about having to share a room with Kyuhyun as he signed them in. They were on their way up in the elevator when it stopped on a floor and HanChul practically fell in, causing them to jump.
"Heechul hyung, Hankyung hyung," Kyuhyun said, causing the two to look at him. Heechul's eyes widened at seeing Kyuhyun there.
"Yah, Cho Kyuhyun! What are you doing in the States? You shouldn't be here! Go back to Korea," Heechul babbled, trying to shove the younger out of the elevator.
Kyuhyun grabbed Zhoumi's wrist, startling him. "I'm not leaving until I find Sungmin."
Heechul looked at Hankyung, eyes pleading for a way out. "Um...you see, Kyuhyun, you uh...need to leave right now."
Zhou Mi cleared his throat. "He's here with me.... As soon as we put our things in our room though, I really need to talk with you Gege." He said giving Hankyung a serious look, something rare for the tall chinaman. Hankyung, although slightly drunk, frowned and nodded, sensing the urgency. "Chul, maybe you should go take Mi's things to his room and talk with Kui Xian." He said looking at his whining lover. Heechul pouted but the stern look Hankyung gave him told him not to argue. He sighed and took Zhou Mi's bag, leaving the elevator with Kyuhyun at the right floor.
Hankyung pressed the button to go back down to his room. "This must be important so I will lock the door." Hankyung said once they were inside. As soon as he turned around, papers were in his face. "Did you know about this Geng? These papers say we were meant to be married. Our parents arranged it. Yet here you are on a honeymoon with Heechul. Did you know? Because I sure as hell did not." He said in rapid Chinese.
Hankyung looked at Zhoumi, stunned by the information. "Zhoumi, how would I have know about this? Our parents haven't spoken in years and I'm married to Heechul now. You and I haven't been around each other either. You're Henry's friend, remember?"
Zhoumi sighed. "Apparently, I was your friend first. And according to this, I'm supposed to be your husband, not Heechul."
"So what are you saying? You want me to just leave Heechul? There's no way in hell that I'll leave him."
"Then see me behind his back."
Heechul sat uncomfortably in front of Kyuhyun, the younger's eyes boring holes in his face. He looked up before rolling his eyes. "What the hell do you want, Kyuhyun?!" he snapped.
"Tell me where Sungmin is," Kyuhyun replied, crossing his arms. He smirked before he went to where their bottle of champagne sat on the table. He took the bottle and slammed it against the wall, walking back over with the broken half in his hand. "Tell me where he is or I'll castrate you, hyung."
Heechul narrowed his eyes, challenging the younger until Kyuhyun grabbed the waistband of his pants. Heechul clung to his clothes, eyes wide. "Alright! I'll tell you!"
Kyuhyun smirked. He knew he'd get what he wanted. Only minutes later, he left the hotel altogether to find his bunny, leaving a startled Heechul back in his room.
"Aish. I think my life shortened by two months." Heechul said, one hand over his heart, the other checking his crotch.
Hankyung stared at Zhou Mi in disbelief. "Zhou Mi I can't... you were our best man. A friend. I can't do that to Heechul." He said, his Korean faltering. Zhou mi pressed the papers to Hankyung's chest, backing him to the wall. "You have an obligation to me, Geng.... I ran all over china and Korea to check on that kid for you. You owe me something." He whispered, closing the remaining space between them.
Heechul sighed and headed back to his and Hankyung's room, figuring he and Zhou Mi would be done soon anyways.
Sungmin woke up around one to persistent knocking downstairs. He hurried to get it hoping his father wouldn't wake up. He opened the door, ready to yell at the person and all sound and color drained from him. "K-Kyuhyun."
"Sungmin!" Kyuhyun pulled the startled bunny into a tight embrace, tears glittering in his eyes, He pulled back only enough to look at the elder in the face. "Min, I've been looking everywhere for you. Kangin hyung gave me the money to come find you."
"How did you know I was in America?"
"I checked the number you called me from and found out. I was at the hotel and I threatened Heechul to tell me where you lived."
"You threatened Heechul?" Sungmin laughed, the idea of Heechul being intimidated funny to him. "How on earth did you manage to do that with your life in tact?"
Kyuhyun smirked, pulling Sungmin close to whisper in his ear. "I threatened to cut off his dick."
Sungmin shook his head as footsteps came down the stairs, a half-asleep Kibum standing at the bottom of the stairs. Kyuhyun straightened, frowning at him over Sungmin's shoulder. The bunny turned around, seeing Kibum there and biting his lip.
"Kyuhyun, this is my friend, Kibum. Kibum, this is Kyuhyun. He's a friend of mine from Korea."
Kyuhyun looked at Sungmin before smiling at Kibum. "I'm not just a friend from Korea. I'm his boyfriend."
Kibum stared at him for a moment before smiling. "That's funny because he's never mentioned you as his boyfriend. And considering he doesn't like taking your calls, you can't be that important of a person to him."
Kyuhyun glared, wrapping an arm around Sungmin's waist and pulling him closer. "Sungmin is my boyfriend so back off."
Kibum walked over, unwinding Kyuhyun's arm from around the elder's waist and pulled him to his side. "Sungmin doesn't want you here. Why else would he have kept his whereabouts from you? Go back to Korea and forget about him."
"I can't do that. I love him."
"Have you ever considered that maybe I do, too? Or that maybe he doesn't love you anymore?"
Sungmin watched Kyuhyun's reaction and quickly shuffled them all outside before they could wake his father. "Stop it, both of you. Kyuhyun. You are the reason I left. I hated you after you accused me of letting Ryeowook rape me. How can you accuse your own lover of something like that?! Yeah I protected him but he wasn't himself. My best friend did not rape me, that monster Lixu did. Now you give me one good reason why I should leave here where I'm happy and leave Kibum. Tell me Kyuhyun." He said, emotions finally bubbling out of him. Kibum smirked at Kyuhyun's shocked expression.
Heechul pushed his key card into the slot and turned the handle, opening the door to his shared room with Hankyung... to find Zhou Mi kissing his lover. Fuck the door, Heechul stormed over and yanked Zhou Mi off of Hankyung and punched him in the nose. Hankyung was confused and definitely ashamed. He watched as Heechul picked up the emails. "Didn't know you had it in you to hit so hard." Hankyung said slowly. "I just was threatened to have my dick cut off I'm not in the best of moods. Yah! Seasonings. Is this what this is about? Hm? These emails. Well sorry but Hannie's mine already so paws off and if I see you with your hands on him again... I'll be sure to feed you to my pet piranha that I'm going to buy." He said ripping up the emails and tossing them on Zhou Mi.
Zhoumi glared up at him. "He was supposed to be mine, Heechul!" He looked down at the ripped up emails, his hands clenching into fists. "At least let me be around the two of you. That's all I ask now." He turned pleading eyes to Heechul, tears threatening to fall. "I'll let you have him, just don't force me from his side. I'll stand by yours, too, Heechul, but please, don't make me leave his side."
In Korea, Kangin sat with Leeteuk on his porch, waiting for Henry to get home. He had called the younger several times, only getting his voicemail. He sighed and placed his phone down, taking Leeteuk's hand in his and kissing the back of it. "You should marry me, Teuk. We could make each other happy," Kangin murmured, staring across the street.
Leeteuk smiled, tightening his grip on Kangin's hand. "I love you, but we should hold off on marriage. Eunhyuk and Donghae got married; Heechul and Hankyung just got married; Kyuhyun went to chase after Sungmin; and Henry and Ryeowook are finally patching things up. We should hold off for a little while, but I doubt that either of us will have a change of heart. Hell, even Siwon and Yesung are dating each other."
Kangin pondered for a moment. "How the hell did all the gays wind up in one place and all know each other and pair up perfectly?" He said aloud finally. Eeteuk had a O.o look before he burst out laughing. "Well I expected it from everyone but you and Wonnie. I knew about Hankyung waaaaaaaaay long ago." He said giggling. Kangin shrugged. "Eh, don't judge a book." He said smiling before taking Eeteuk's hand. "So no marriage yet... but what about an engagement?" He said softly. Eeteuk sighed though it wasn't one of annoyance. "Saranghaeyo, Kangin. Let's just go inside..." He said smiling. He knew Kangin knew his answer and it wouldn't change.
Ryeowook went downstairs with Henry to his kitchen and despite the late time he found her awake. She smiled at them when she saw them. I napped earlier while you two were sleeping. You were so cute I couldn't bare to wake you." She said as they walked up to her. "Umma... I love Henli and I know you're a little unsure about us because of my condition and some of the things I've put him through but he loves me and he won't leave me. I proposed to him and I would like your blessing....." He said looking at Henry at the end. He wondered how they'd get HIS parent's blessings. He was jarred out of his thoughts as his mother choked them in a huge hug.
Heechul watched Zhou Mi on the floor of their hotel room and rolled his eyes. "You're a grown man Zhou Mi don't cry because you can't get your way." He said smiling and whispering to Hankyung. "MWO?! Heechul what the hell are you up to?!" Hankyung gasped. "Uhm.... he says he'll let you stay by us, even live with us, and occasionally join in on our fun but he says never will you get either of us alone. We're a package deal whythehellamIevensayingthis?! I can't sleep with Zhou Mi! Even with you there! You're too promiscuous Heechul, absolutely not!" Hankyung said pouting.
Heechul smiled and helped Zhou Mi up, patting his shoulder softly. "Mianhae, Zhou Mi. You can live with us and such but I can never allow you to be with my Hannie. If something were to happen to me though I leave him to you." He joked.
Kyuhyun, Sungmin, and Kibum were sitting on the front porch steps. The silence surrounding them was awkward and almost deafening to where Sungmin almost preferred them arguing. He sighed when Kibum took his hand and Kyuhyun grabbed his arm to pull him closer. "If you guys are going to do nothing but fight then I'm going in and locking you both out," Sungmin said.
"Min, I need you," Kyuhyun replied, turning toward him. "I've been a mess. I love you and I'll always love you."
"Kyuhyun, I'm not going back to Korea. Not even if you begged me to. I need to stay here. If I'm around Ryeowook and Lixu, then things get messy and all chaotic. I feel bad to leave Ryeowook like that, but he has Henry."
Kibum smiled. "So, you're choosing me?"
Sungmin let out another sigh. "It doesn't mean I'm choosing you, Kibum. It's just, I can't go back to Korea right now...if at all." He looked at Kyuhyun. "You'll at least keep an eye on my mom for me, won't you? She was really upset when I left."
Kyuhyun shook his head, causing Sungmin to pout. "I can't keep an eye on her."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm not going back. I'll call Kangin hyung and have him look after her. If you're going to be in America, Sungmin, then so am I. I love you and I'll wait for you forever."
"So where does that leave me?" Kibum interrupted, staring down at the ground.
Sungmin smiled, leaning over and hugging him. "I want you to stay with me, too. I probably won't pick someone in a week or even in a month, but until I do, I want both of you here with me." He reached over and grasped Kyuhyun's hand, the younger smiling at him. Sungmin frowned, looking at Kibum and then at Kyuhyun. "Why do I get the feeling that this is exactly how Heechul felt with Hankyung hyung and Ryeowook?"
Kyuhyun, Sungmin, and Kibum were sitting on the front porch steps. The silence surrounding them was awkward and almost deafening to where Sungmin almost preferred them arguing. He sighed when Kibum took his hand and Kyuhyun grabbed his arm to pull him closer. "If you guys are going to do nothing but fight then I'm going in and locking you both out," Sungmin said.
"Min, I need you," Kyuhyun replied, turning toward him. "I've been a mess. I love you and I'll always love you."

Kibum smiled. "So, you're choosing me?"
Sungmin let out another sigh. "It doesn't mean I'm choosing you, Kibum. It's just, I can't go back to Korea right now...if at all." He looked at Kyuhyun. "You'll at least keep an eye on my mom for me, won't you? She was really upset when I left."
Kyuhyun shook his head, causing Sungmin to pout. "I can't keep an eye on her."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm not going back. I'll call Kangin hyung and have him look after her. If you're going to be in America, Sungmin, then so am I. I love you and I'll wait for you forever."
"So where does that leave me?" Kibum interrupted, staring down at the ground.
Sungmin smiled, leaning over and hugging him. "I want you to stay with me, too. I probably won't pick someone in a week or even in a month, but until I do, I want both of you here with me." He reached over and grasped Kyuhyun's hand, the younger smiling at him. Sungmin frowned, looking at Kibum and then at Kyuhyun. "Why do I get the feeling that this is exactly how Heechul felt with Hankyung hyung and Ryeowook?"
Kibum looked confused before Kyuhyun spoke. "Yeah but Hyung. Heechul was forced to give up Ryeowookie in a brutal way. I would never want you to have to go through what he went through..." He said and Kibum looked shocked a bit. "What happened?" He asked, curious. Sungmin smiled bitterly. "Hankyung left him, took off the engagement ring, and left him the house and went home to China.... And.... Heechul went after him." He said, tears choking his voice as realization dawned on him. It was the same. He had left Kyuhyun. He had broken him. And Kyuhyun followed him. Kibum smiled, looking at Sungmin with nothing but love for the other. "If you love him, Sungmin, go with him. I love you enough to know when to let you go." He spoke looking up at the stars. Sungmin looked at him in shock, the tears trickling down. "Kibum...."
A month passed by with the boys. Ryeowook married Henry after finally winning the boy's parents over by proving he wouldn't leave Henry even if they said no to the wedding. He was very happy with Henry and they adopted a little girl at Ryeowook's request.
Eeteuk and Kangin moved into one home and they finally quit arguing over financial issues. Eeteuk left his job to Siwon who was going strong with Yesung who was nearly 100% again.
Heechul and Hankyung didn't abandon ZhouMi. They both eventually fell for the lanky chinaman and although awkward, learned to make it work.
Ryeowook smiled at Henry as he set the timer on the camera. "I think this Prelude is coming to a close." He said running over to Henry and Mina, smiling as the camera snapped their first picture.

"Because I'm not going back. I'll call Kangin hyung and have him look after her. If you're going to be in America, Sungmin, then so am I. I love you and I'll wait for you forever."
"So where does that leave me?" Kibum interrupted, staring down at the ground.
Sungmin smiled, leaning over and hugging him. "I want you to stay with me, too. I probably won't pick someone in a week or even in a month, but until I do, I want both of you here with me." He reached over and grasped Kyuhyun's hand, the younger smiling at him. Sungmin frowned, looking at Kibum and then at Kyuhyun. "Why do I get the feeling that this is exactly how Heechul felt with Hankyung hyung and Ryeowook?"
Kyuhyun, Sungmin, and Kibum were sitting on the front porch steps. The silence surrounding them was awkward and almost deafening to where Sungmin almost preferred them arguing. He sighed when Kibum took his hand and Kyuhyun grabbed his arm to pull him closer. "If you guys are going to do nothing but fight then I'm going in and locking you both out," Sungmin said.
"Min, I need you," Kyuhyun replied, turning toward him. "I've been a mess. I love you and I'll always love you."
"Kyuhyun, I'm not going back to Korea. Not even if you begged me to. I need to stay here. If I'm around Ryeowook and Lixu, then things get messy and all chaotic. I feel bad to leave Ryeowook like that, but he has Henry."
Kibum smiled. "So, you're choosing me?"
Sungmin let out another sigh. "It doesn't mean I'm choosing you, Kibum. It's just, I can't go back to Korea right now...if at all." He looked at Kyuhyun. "You'll at least keep an eye on my mom for me, won't you? She was really upset when I left."
Kyuhyun shook his head, causing Sungmin to pout. "I can't keep an eye on her."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm not going back. I'll call Kangin hyung and have him look after her. If you're going to be in America, Sungmin, then so am I. I love you and I'll wait for you forever."
"So where does that leave me?" Kibum interrupted, staring down at the ground.
Sungmin smiled, leaning over and hugging him. "I want you to stay with me, too. I probably won't pick someone in a week or even in a month, but until I do, I want both of you here with me." He reached over and grasped Kyuhyun's hand, the younger smiling at him. Sungmin frowned, looking at Kibum and then at Kyuhyun. "Why do I get the feeling that this is exactly how Heechul felt with Hankyung hyung and Ryeowook?"
Kibum looked confused before Kyuhyun spoke. "Yeah but Hyung. Heechul was forced to give up Ryeowookie in a brutal way. I would never want you to have to go through what he went through..." He said and Kibum looked shocked a bit. "What happened?" He asked, curious. Sungmin smiled bitterly. "Hankyung left him, took off the engagement ring, and left him the house and went home to China.... And.... Heechul went after him." He said, tears choking his voice as realization dawned on him. It was the same. He had left Kyuhyun. He had broken him. And Kyuhyun followed him. Kibum smiled, looking at Sungmin with nothing but love for the other. "If you love him, Sungmin, go with him. I love you enough to know when to let you go." He spoke looking up at the stars. Sungmin looked at him in shock, the tears trickling down. "Kibum...."
A month passed by with the boys. Ryeowook married Henry after finally winning the boy's parents over by proving he wouldn't leave Henry even if they said no to the wedding. He was very happy with Henry and they adopted a little girl at Ryeowook's request.
Eeteuk and Kangin moved into one home and they finally quit arguing over financial issues. Eeteuk left his job to Siwon who was going strong with Yesung who was nearly 100% again.
Heechul and Hankyung didn't abandon ZhouMi. They both eventually fell for the lanky chinaman and although awkward, learned to make it work.
Ryeowook smiled at Henry as he set the timer on the camera. "I think this Prelude is coming to a close." He said running over to Henry and Mina, smiling as the camera snapped their first picture.
