[Part 1] [Part 2][Part 3] [Part 4] [Part 5]
“I love you! So much!”
Sungmin was surprised when Kyuhyun grabs him by the shoulders and forces himself on him. Chapped lips pressed against his in a desperate manner.
“Kyuhyun!” The older boy pushes Kyuhyun away by the shoulders and catches his breath.
Kyuhyun looks down at his hyung in fear and sadness. “I’m sorry hyung.” He chokes out. His hands move to touch the older boy again but he stops halfway when he sees Sungmin flinch. “I’m sorry, I love you.”
Sungmin looks in sorrow at the younger boy. He feels the same, he knows he does. He’s loved Kyuhyun as more than a friend since two years back when the younger boy started opening up to him, when he started making fun of his height, when he first kissed him on the cheek for fun. Kyuhyun didn’t know how much the simple touch made Sungmin's heart race. But it wasn’t supposed to be.
It’s wrong.
Sungmin steps back from the younger boy. He cringes when he sees Kyuhyun’s figure seize. He’s almost tempted to run up to him and tell him everything will be all right; that he loves him back. But he doesn’t. He turns away from the boy and runs home.
The pain Kyuhyun felt in his chest was indescribable. He didn’t watch Sungmin run away: if he had, he would have known that the older boy felt the exact same way.

Help me Sunny! ):>
When Sunny got to his house, Sungmin was curled up completely in his fuchsia coloured blanket with the lights of his room turned off and his curtains drawn.
She knocked on Sungmin's now open bedroom door. “It’s me.”
Sungmin poked his head out of his blankets. He waved her in, muttering, “Close the door.”
Sunny placed something on the table beside Sungmin's bed before pulling the bright covers off his body and poking him slightly in the back.
“Come on Minnie, you have to talk for me to understand what happened.”
Sungmin looks up at the girl with sad eyes.
“I don’t know what to do, Sunny!” His voice breaks and Sungmin feels tears in his eyes.
Sunny sighed, “What do you mean you don’t know! That boy is all you ever talk about! You should be jumping for joy! Right?!”
Sungmin sighed into his pillow, Sunny didn’t get it.
Lee Sunkyu, commonly known by her nickname, Sunny, was Sungmin's younger cousin, from his mother’s side of the family. See, Sungmin's mother wasn’t religious, her sister wasn’t religious, and so, Sunny was not religious.
Sungmin was. He was raised on beliefs. Could he really let go of them so easily?
“It’s wrong Sunny. He’s a guy for God’s sake! I shouldn’t even like him!”
Sunny sat down beside her cousin. “But you do.” She said firmly. “And if Cho Kyuhyun makes you happy, what’s there to lose?”
“EVERYTHING!” Sungmin cried out.
Sunny sighed again and put her hand on Sungmin's shoulder. “Sungmin! Just listen!”
Sungmin watched her wearily as she took a deep breath. “Do you really love him?” She asks silently, Sungmin nods. “And he told you he loves you?” He nods again. “Then just tell him you love him too!”
“But it’s-“
“Shut up and let me finish!” Sungmin's jaw snapped shut. “If you two really love each other, who’s going to stop you? No one can alter your emotions. If God,” Sunny air quotes the word, “really doesn’t want you to be together, why do you have those feelings towards him?”
There’s a long pause while Sunny waited for her reply.
“You…you’re right aren’t you?” Sungmin finally said, albeit doubtful.
Sunny grinned. “Of course I am!”
She grabs the shopping bag she placed on her cousin’s side table and fished out two spoons and a tub of ice-cream.
“It’s Strawberry~” She said cheekily when she saw Sungmin eyeing the ice-cream with want in his eyes.
She handed over spoon and the older boy doesn’t hesitate digging into the pink confectionary.
Sungmin saw Kyuhyun at the park the next day. The younger boy was pushing a little girl on the swings.
Sungmin didn’t know the girl, but he assumed Kyuhyun was helping out the pregnant mother sitting on the nearby bench. The lady smiled thankfully at Kyuhyun after the little girl scurried of towards her mother.
Kyuhyun sighed and sat down in the swing the little girl abandoned.
“Kyuhyun…?” Sungmin called him, walking up to the sulking boy.
Said boy jumped from the swing. “S-Sungmin hyung?”
Sungmin walked right up to the younger boy. Kyuhyun took a step back, “Look, hyung, I’m really sorr-“
Kyuhyun’s words were cut off when Sungmin yanked his head down and pressed his lips against his.
The older boy feels Kyuhyun stiffen and nervous butterflies flutter in his stomach, but he continues to kiss the younger boy softly.
Kyuhyun was the first one to pull away, “I thought you didn’t-“
He’s cut off again when Sungmin kissed him again, harder and more confident this time, throwing his arms around Kyuhyun's neck. “I never said I didn’t love you back,” the older boy said against the kiss.
Kyuhyun felt his heart skip a beat. He smiled into the lip lock and moved his hands around the older boy’s waist and neck, pulling him closer. He used his hand to tilt the Sungmin's head back and Sungmin's mouth fell open slightly, letting them deepen the kiss.
Suddenly, something pulled at the hem of Kyuhyun's pants.
“Oppa, push me on the swings again, please?”
Sungmin broke off the kiss with an embarrassed flush. Both boys look down and see the little girl looking at them with big eyes.
Kyuhyun looked at the girl’s mother, worried, but the lady merely smiled. She cupped her hands around her mouth, like a megaphone, “I’m glad you and your girlfriend are okay now!”
Sungmin blushed at her words and smacked Kyuhyun over the head when the taller boy laughed.
Kyuhyun had an absurd grin on his face when he bear-hugged the older boy. “We’re okay now, right Sungminnie?” Kyuhyun asks, winking.
Sungmin smiles softly and placed a kiss on the other’s cheek. “We’re okay now.

*squeal~~* we’re together now! ;)

OMG! Congrats! When’s the first date? ;D
Sungmin looked up from his phone to Kyuhyun who’s resting in his lap. They were watching a movie in room while his parents were out.
Kyuhyun looked up from the T.V. screen and smiled at the older boy; he kissed the inside of Sungmin's jean clad leg and snuggled closer.

…Umm, right now? We’re watching a movie at my house… does that count?

Intimate position?
Sungmin looked down at his boyfriend again. Kyuhyun had changed his position so he was now lying between Sungmin’s open legs. He’d given up watching the movie, some foreign romantic comedy, and opted to bury his head against Sungmin's slim stomach and resting instead.

FGSGDGFSZ!! Then *why* are you texting me?!?
To: Sunny~
From: Minnie~

What?! Why?! D:>
Sungmin waited. There was no reply from his cousin so he gave up and put his phone back on his side table.
“Kyuhyunnie?” Sungmin called, snaking his fingers through Kyuhyun’s soft hair.
Kyuhyun moaned softly and held on tighter to his hyung.
“Kyuhyunnie! I wanna sleep too!”
Kyuhyun let go enough for Sungmin to lie down beside him before latching onto the older boy again.
“Sungminnie?” He mumbles. “Let’s go on a real date tomorrow.
“Kyuhyun!”
Kyuhyun was waiting at the park where Sungmin had told him to be after the older boy had all but kicked him out of his house and rushed over to Sunny’s.
“Why does she get all the attention?” he mumbled under his breath, turning to look in the direction his name came from.
Kyuhyun froze. “Wow.” He felt his eyes pop at the sight of his hyung- more like noona, he thought, laughing internally.
“Ya! I know you’re laughing at me!” Sungmin yelled, fidgeting with the hem of his pale pink skirt.
He wore a long, airy white shirt with a slightly loose, dusty pink sweater on top of it. The outfit accented his feminine curves and features nicely and made up for his lack of certain assets. His pale blond hair was pulled into a neat ponytail, held together with a sparkly silver pin- one he’s seen in Taeyeon’s hair, one of Sungmin's many female friends that Kyuhyun’s had the pleasure of meeting.
Kyuhyun brushed the hair covering Sungmin's eyes softly. “You look cute, Sungminnie.”
The older boy blushed, then grabbed Kyuhyun’s hand, pulling him off. “I-it was Sunny’s idea.” He stuttered, not looking the younger boy in the face. “She said it’d be easier to get around and- and…” Sungmin laces his fingers through Kyuhyun’s and gives a small squeeze. “You know…”
Kyuhyun smiles softly and squeezes back.
Sunny was lounging on her sofa when the knock came. She groaned and got up.
“I got it.” She puts on a cheerful smile for the person on the other side of the door. “Oh… Uncle, Auntie, what are you doing here?” She asks, smile flattering.
“We’re here for dinner. The boys left us all alone today so your mother invited us over.” Sungmin's mother explained to the startled girl.
“Oh… Come in then…”
Shit. Sunny thought, pulling her phone out of her pocket and sending a text to Sungmin. She couldn’t let him come over after the date to change out of his disguise if his dad was over… that wouldn’t go very well.
It was half way through the movie they were watching when Sungmin's phone rang. He blushed when people turned to glare at him and turned the phone off.
“Sorry.”

DO NOT COME TO MY HOUSE! YOUR PARENTS ARE HERE! DO.NOT. COME. TO. MY. HOUSE.
I’ll be at Tiffany’s. Go there, okay.
Don’t come to my house.
