Sungmin stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes widened and his hand clutching on Kyuhyun hand tightly, “It’s umma, Sungmin…” she whispered once again, caressing the back of Sungmin hand lovingly.
“U… ma…?” She nodded her head. She hold Sungmin hand tightly. Sungmin look at the two people who were kneeling in front of him until he feel his head was in so much pain, he let go of her hand and clutching at his head tightly.
“Sungminnie”
“Grandpa will come to accompany you tonight. We promise that we wouldn’t come too night. Take care, okay?”
BANG
“GRANDPA!!”
“Don’t move!!! Or I gonna punish you again!!”
“Stop it…” he whispered, “Stop it… I don’t wanna… please… stop it… it hurts…” he pull his knees to his chest, buried his face deeper.
“Sungmin…” his mother try to touch him but he just hug his knees tighter, as if trying to protect himself from imaginary people that try to hurt him. She move forward and hold his hand but Sungmin just back away further, tears falling from his eyes, “Sungminnie… it’s umma…” she move forward again, hugging him tightly.
Feeling someone hugging him, Sungmin struggled to get free, he start to hit her hardly but she just hug him tighter, “I don’t wanna… please stop… it hurt… please… let me go… Sungmin will be a good boy… please…” he struggled more, hitting her hard until she fall to the floor. He hug himself tighter, muttering some word to himself and cry harder.
Seeing Sungmin crying like that, Kyuhyun hug him quickly while muttering some comforting words. Sungmin was struggling hard for a while but then he start to calm, buried his face on Kyuhyun chest and hug him tightly. “It’s okay… I’m here… you’re safe…”
“I’m afraid, Kyunie… don’t leave me…” Kyuhyun tighten his hug, rubbing his back lovingly while whispering comforting words to him.
Sungmin mother look at the two of them with sadness on her eyes. he get up from the floor and quickly get out of the room, “Honey!” Sungmin father run after her and hold her hand when she was about to run downstairs, “Honey…” he hold both of her hand, squeezing it lightly, “Why are you running away like that?”
“He doesn’t want me there… he doesn’t want me to hug him… it hurt me, Dongwoo… it hurt me a lot” she lean her body on him, crying on his husband chest.
“He didn’t mean that. he is our son… how could he doesn’t want his mother to hug him. He must be surprised, that’s all!”
“No… he let Kyuhyun to hug him… he doesn’t want to meet us, Dongwoo” her husband look at her sadly, he rub her back slightly, trying to make her calm.
“I’m sorry to interrupted you” they look up, finding Kyuhyun mother not too far away from them, “And sorry to eavesdrop what you are saying earlier… but I just want to tell you that Sungmin didn’t hate you. He was always like this when someone was hugging him like that” she sighed when they throw him a confused look, “Kyuhyun was only the one he trust to hug him. Even me, my husband and his noona wasn’t able to do that even though he trust us enough to touch him and stay so close to him”
“What do you mean? Why he was like that?”
“Let’s talk about it downstairs… it’ll be a long story”
Kyuhyun POV
I lie him down slowly, not letting go of his hand as I did so. His eyes were red and drop slightly. I know he was tired… he was tired of this… I don’t know what happen exactly but all I can tell that maybe the memories of what that man do to him was starting to resurface.
I place my hand on his forehead and sigh hard when I feel that his temperature was rising, “Donghae-hyung…” I whispered but it was loud enough for him to hear, “Could you help me? Bring a basin and a washcloth on my bathroom, please…” I hear his footstep walk away from my room. I look at Sungmin who look back at me tiredly, “You have to sleep…” I whispered, caressing his hair lovingly.
He shake his head almost frantically, “I don’t wanna!”
“Sungmin…”
“T-They’ll haunt me… I don’t wanna!” he tighten his hold on my hand, tears start to fall from his eyes once again. Seeing it make anger boiled on my chest, that man was the one who make Sungmin like this. He was the one who held the responsibility of Sungmin condition right now. “Kyunie…” his voice bring me back to reality, “My head hurts…” Sungmin laid his head on my laps, curling his body near mine.
I bring my hand to his head and massaging it, hoping that it will make the pain away, “Here…” Donghae-hyung give me the basin and a wash cloth before back away and sit on the chair not far away from us. I help Sungmin to lie down on the pillow again, cleaning his cheeks slowly. I dip the washcloth to the water and place it on Sungmin forehead.
“You really have to sleep, Minnie…” again he shake his head, his hold on my hand was tighten once again. “Minnie…” I squeeze his hand, hoping that he would understand I didn’t want him to get tired.
“Don’t force him, Kyu…” Donghae-hyung get up from his seat and approach us. I feel Sungmin hold my hand tighter. Ah… I don’t know if my hand was still okay or not because he hold it really tight this time. I squeeze it back, he look at me and I smile back at him, signaling that it’ll be okay. “Can I?” Donghae-hyung look at the empty spot on the bed, waiting for Sungmin reaction. Once again he look at me before he nodded his head slowly. Donghae-hyung smile at him then sit on the empty spot on the edge of the other side of the bed, “You know that I wouldn’t hurt you, don’t you?” he smile when Sungmin nodded his head.
Sungmin flinched when he feel Donghae-hyung touch his hand, he look at me hopefully but I just smile back at him. I know it hard for him… but… I look at Donghae-hyung, he hold Sungmin other hand now and Sungmin just tightening his hold on my hand and close his eyes tightly, “Minnie…” I whispered, caressing his hair, he open his eyes slightly, tears brimming on his eyes. Even though it hurt me to see him cry again but I… no we should do this… Donghae-hyung know what he do right now and it’ll help Sungmin… “Trust me, ne?”
“Sungmin…” Donghae-hyung said, as I can see that he tighten his hold on Sungmin other hand, “You know that I, Eunhyuk, Ryeowook and Yesung-hyung wouldn’t hurt you right?” Sungmin look away, biting his lips hard trying to suppress his sobs, “We are friends for years… you already know us and so are we… we know you well. You can trust us in the past, so why can’t now? Do you not consider us as your friend anymore?” I look at him, there was sadness on his eyes. I know what he feel… everyone already consider him as their brother and now… he couldn’t trust any of them… I know it hurt them so much…
“It-It’s not like that!” he yelled, get up from his bed and look at Donghae-hyung in the eyes, “I-I’m just afraid…” he whispered the last word. Sungmin…
“I know that you are afraid… but don’t let it overwhelm you… you trust Kyuhyun to help you… you can trust us too” he said pleadingly, “All you have to do is open yourself… we can’t do anything if you keep hiding behind Kyuhyun back and not letting us to help you” I look at Sungmin, who was now leaning his body on mine. Sungmin-ah… please… “Please… let us to help you…” Sungmin buried his head deeper on my chest but then he nodded his head. I look at Donghae-hyung, he smile back at me. Sigh… it looks like he saw that, right?
“Hyung…” I said, breaking the silence, “Sungmin said that he want to see bunny…” Sungmin hit my chest and look up at me, he was frowned and is he pouting?
“Really?” there was a range before he nodded his head. I smile and adjusted him so his back was leaning on my chest. “We have to go there then… you want us to go with you, right?” again, he nodded his head. I look at Donghae-hyung with a smile plastered on my face which he returned with his smile. I’m glad that he slowly try to open up… he has to know that his friend is not going to hurt him.
I chuckled when he let out a yawn, “You have to sleep…” I whispered while caressing his head lovingly.
“Don’t*yawn* wanna” I smile seeing him trying to fight the urge to sleep. I know he was afraid, but he still need to rest. His body needs it. I caress his hair again and again until his eyelids dropped and his breath softened.
“Looks like he really tired” I look at Donghae-hyung who was still holding Sungmin other hand. He smile at me when he realize that I look at him, “I’ll call the other that we will go to zoo… but maybe Eunhyuk couldn’t go. He still have to rest”
“It’s okay, hyung… we’ll go after Eunhyuk-hyung healthy… Sungmin need to rest too… he still had a fever” he smile then nodded his head, “Thank you, hyung…”
He look at me confusedly, “For what?”
“For trying to reassure him. For make him willing to open up for you guys”
“It’s okay… that’s what friend are for” he let go of Sungmin hand and get up from the bed, “It’s look like I have to come back to the hospital. Eunhyuk maybe search for me now”
“I’ll walk you to the front door” I try to untangled Sungmin hand that clutching on my hand and shirt but it was a fail.
“It’s okay…” he said when he see Sungmin wouldn’t let me go, “Just stay here” he approach me and pt my back, “Good luck for us” he said with a smile on his face and walk out of the room.
I look at the sleeping beauty on my hand, slowly I try to lay him on the bed but he seems that he wouldn’t let me go… I lay down beside him and pulling him to my embrace. A good luck… I look at his sleeping form… yeah… we need that…

Normal POV
Kyuhyun mother look at the two people in front of her sadly. Sungmin mother was crying on her husband chest while her husband was trying to calm himself. “Because of that, I hope you understand…”
“Our baby… yeobo…” she couldn’t continue her words and buried her face deeper on her husband chest. What she has just heard earlier make her hear shattered. Her son… her only son was raped and they still don’t know who did this to him. Because of this… her son was in this condition… “I-I wanna see him…” she pull away and look at her husband eyes directly.
“Honey…”
“I wanna see him… he must be very scared… he need his mommy… he always search for me when he was scared, yeobo… you know that, right?”
He look at her sadly, ten rub her hand softly, “I know that, honey…. But it’s different now… Sungmin has no memories about us. He just trust Kyuhyun to calm him” he hold her head and caress her cheek lovingly, “We have to approach him slowly, honey… we have to make him trust us… you don’t want to see him hurting again, right?” she lowered her gaze, tears still falling from her eyes, “Right? I know you love him so much… but we have to do this… for his sake…” he lift her chin and look directly at her eyes, slowly she nodded her head, “So don’t cry… we have to be strong…”
She pull away from her husband embrace and wipe her tears away, she look at Kyuhyun mother before bow her body slightly, “I’m sorry about earlier, Cho-ssi… and…” she try to fight the urge to cry once again, “I’m sorry to ask you this but please take care of Sungmin… I… we couldn’t bring him to our house now… I know it’ll be the best if he stay here… but we’ll be coming everyday to meet him if it didn’t bother you”
“It’s okay, Haerim-ssi… Sungmin is like a son for me… and of course you can visit him everyday… you are his real mother after all and just call me Miyoung…” Kyuhyun mother said with a smile plastered on her face.
“Ah thank you, Miyoung-ssi…”
“Donghae-ah…” two pair of eyes look at Donghae who walk to the room, calmly. He smile slightly before bowing his body.
“I think I have to come back to hospital, auntie… Eunhyukkie waiting for me”
The three of them get up from their seat, “Donghae-ah… is it okay if we go with you again?” Sungmin father asked, Donghae just nodded his head, yes.
“Donghae-ah… how is Sungmin?” now Sungmin mother turn to ask, her eyes filled with worry.
“He’s sleeping now… he was calm enough to talk to me earlier” he can see her sighed in relief when he tell her about that, “Don’t worry auntie… Kyuhyun is there with him”
“We’ll be taking our leave then, Miyoung-ssi… sorry for our intrusion” they bow their body slightly and she walk them out from the house.
“It’s okay, Haerim-ssi…” she walk into the house after the car drive away from her household, she close the door and look at the clock that was hanging on the wall, “Ah! I have to cook for diner. It’s about time Sungjae and Ahra coming home” she hurriedly go to the kitchen, putting on the apron and start to cook.

A few days later
The sun shine brightly that morning, the zoo was really crowded when they walk in to the zoo. They can hear some gasp from some people who see them. Even though they are on disguise but it looks like everyone still recognize them.
“This disguise was a fail, hyung… everyone still recognize us” Eunhyuk said while smiling at people around them. He was wearing a black cap and sunglass. Donghae, Yesung and Ryeowook was wearing the same attire as him.
Kyuhyun and Sungmin was walking not too far behind them, they were the only one who wear the casual shirt among of them. “Of course everyone was still recognize you all, hyung… you just wear a sunglass and cap” Kyuhyun said, “They can still see your face through that”
The four of them sigh hard, it’s not that they are minding their fans but they want to spend their time together, just the six of them, “It’s okay with you, hyung?” Ryeowook look at Sungmin, “We can’t just go back after we arrived here, right?” Sungmin look at his surrounding, everyone was looking at their direction, some of them were taking their photo with their cell phone camera. They can see that there was a slight of discomfort in Sungmin eyes but Kyuhyun quickly hold his hand and squeeze it, reassuring him that it was okay. Sungmin look back at Ryeowook before nodded his head, which make Ryeowook to smile back at him, “I’m glad that you are fine with it”
They go to the rabbit area, a few of people still following them but they didn’t seems to be disturbed because of that. Once seeing the rabbit jumping here and there, Sungmin smile brightly, he let go of Kyuhyun hand and walk forward. Seeing his boyfriend happy face, make Kyuhyun let out a small smile and walk behind him.
Sungmin look at the jumping rabbit in awe, he look at one rabbit to the other repeatedly. There’s no sign of boringness on his eyes, even though the other was already boring after seeing it in 5 minutes, “Kyunie, look at that, isn’t it cute?” Sungmin ask to Kyuhyun who was standing on his side, pointing at the white rabbit that was eating it’s carrot.
Kyuhyun bring his hand to Sungmin head and ruffled his hair slightly, “Ne… it’s cute” he let out a chuckled when he see Sungmin was staring at that rabbit in awe. He look at the other, Eunhyuk was staring at the rabbit just like Sungmin while the other three was chuckling because of their act.
Donghae look at Kyuhyun, signaling to leave the two of them by his chin. Knowing what he mean, Kyuhyun slowly back away. Donghae, Yesung and Ryeowook were following him, leaving the other two alone with the rabbit.
“Let’s leave them alone” Donghae said after they are out of the other two hearing zone, “They need it” Kyuhyun, Yesung and Ryeowook nodded their head, “But we still need to keep our eye on them, I don’t want anything bad happen to them like the last time we leave them alone”
Eunhyuk POV
I look at the jumping rabbit then at the person who was standing beside me. He was the same Sungmin-hyung that I remember if he act like this, nothing different with him well… maybe it is… he has no memory of me and our relationship wasn’t as close as when we are child but we can be like that again, right? I can be Sungmin-hyung little brother again, right?
“Kyu--“ Sungmin-hyung shock face bring me back to reality. He look around as if something was missing. I look at his direction and found that there was just the two of us here. Everyone was gone. Where are they?
I look back at Sungmin-hyung, he grip his hand tightly, looking at his left and right closely with his teary eye, hoping that he will find Kyuhyun. After knowing that there was no trace of him, tears falling from his eyes. I… I don’t want to see him cry… not when he was with me…
“Minnie-hyung…” I hold his hand, he wince slightly, closing his eyes tightly, “We’ll find him, ne…? don’t cry…” I wipe his tears away but it keep flowing, his eyes still closing tightly, “Mi-Minnie-hyung… we’ll find them, ne? We can’t do that if you keep closing your eyes like that” I hold his hand tighter, “Please… trust me this time… I will not hurt you… ne…” I said pleadingly. Sungmin-hyung open his eyes slowly, he look at my eyes closely, “Ne…?” then he nodded his head slowly.
I keep holding his hand, standing closely to him. He unconsciously tightening his hold onto mine when the other people pass us closely. We searching for them in every place in the zoo but there still no trace of them everywhere. Where are you guys?! I scream desperately in my mind. We continue our searching but we still couldn’t find them.
“Kyunie, where are you…?” I hear him whispering when we sit on the beach near the rabbit area, maybe they will come back to this place again.
“Minnie-hyung…” I whispered, “I-I’ll buy some drink” I get up from my seat and was about to go but he hold my hand quickly, “Minnie-hyung…” I look at him who was holding my hand tightly.
“D-Don’t leave me alone…” I smile slightly, even though I know he was afraid right now but a part of me was happy… happy that he start to trust me now…
I sit beside him again quietly, he didn’t let go of my hand, “Ne Minnie-hyung…” I said, breaking the silence, “Remember when we are still young… we always holding hands like this… Minnie-hyung always protect me from everyone who make a prank at me and yelled back at them” I smile when I remember this… he always protecting me… spoil me… he is the best hyung that I have and I think everyone would be very jealous of me, because I have a hyung like him. “I’m glad that you are okay… I’m glad that the man could save you in time. Even though you still couldn’t remember me… but I’m happy… because I know that you are okay… that I can see Sungmin-hyung again…”
I look at the sky when I feel tears start to forming in my eyes. I couldn’t cry… not this time… not when I was with him. Sungmin-hyung always protect me when we are still a child, now it’s my turn to protect him. I couldn’t cry in front of him… Sungmin-hyung never cry in front of me when we are still a child.
“N-Ne… H-Hyukkie…” he whispering, tighten his hold into my hand which make me to look at him. He was looking down, his other hand was clutching on the edge of his shirt tightly, “I… I-I trust you…”
I feel smile creep on my face when he said that, I squeeze his hand slowly, “Ne hyung… thank you…” even though we still couldn’t be like when we are child but thank you for trusting me, hyung…
“Ooohh… you are here?” I look up when I hear Donghae voice, “We search for you everywhere”
“Kyunie!!” Sungmin-hyung let go of my hand and run to Kyuhyun side, hugging him tightly. I know he was crying because his shoulder was shaking. Kyuhyun hug him back while whispering some comforting words… Please take care of him, Kyu…
“…uk… Hyukkie!” Donghae was crouching in front of me, he look at me worriedly.
“Yah! Lee Donghae! Where have you been?”
He look at Yesung-hyung the looking back at me, “Uumm toilet? When we come back to the rabbit area, you two was nowhere to be seen”
I chuckled and hit his head lightly, “Silly Fish” he rub it and was about to protest but I cut him off, “Thank you…” I rub his head and kiss his lips.
I hear a cough and broke our kiss, I look at my side, seeing Yesung-hyung was circling around Ryeowook waist, “It’s noon already… let’s eat…” I nodded my head and get up from my seat, I look at Sungmin-hyung direction and found that he wasn’t crying anymore… even though he hold onto Kyuhyun hand tightly, as if afraid that Kyuhyun would leave him again. Yesung-hyung and Ryeowook was walking ahead of us, walking out of the zoo and searching for the nearest restaurant.
