~STILL IN KYUHYUN'S POV~
“so Lee Sungmin…..”
“ WILL YOU GIVE ME YOUR LIFE?” I added.
"Kyuhyun..." Sungmin said.
"I'm serious" I said as I stepped forward once again.
He stepped backwards and avoided my gaze.
"you're crazy"
I smiled.
"I know... and do you know who's the reason?"
"Oh common, Kyuhyun....what you're asking for is something I couldn't give up. Besides, think of Ryeowook."
"Let me settle the problem about Ryeowook. But think of what you wrote in your letter too."
"You're right. I owe you. But don't take the letter seriously. I mean the lines I wrote that i'll give you even my life."
"What? are you saying that all of what you wrote are lies again.?" I asked seriously.
He didn't answer. I waited for his response. After several minutes, he finally responded.
"Let-let me think about it..."
I grinned after hearing him.
"I'm going home now."
"Okay. I'll wait for your decision. Common, let me take you home..."
I reached for my jacket.
"no, it's okay"
he walked away and went outside the room.
After he left, i chuckled. I know he will go back because he doesn't know the way out. He doesn't even know the way to their apartment.
~In Sungmin's POV~
I walked slowly in the hallway trying to find the elevator. but i couldn't find one. The hotel I was in was really big. I couldn't even remember Kyuhyun's room number. I got tired of walking. The doors I was passing were all of the same designs and color. I couldn't get a hint of which Kyuhyun's door would be. It was so weird that there's no elevator at all.
"Auughhh... What kind of hotel is this?" I said and sat on the floor.
Suddenly, a familiar voice called me.
"Sungmin.."
I quickly looked up and saw Kyuhyun in front of me. He was giggling.
"I waited for you to come back but you didn't so I got worried. I went outside and saw you sitting here."
"huh?" I looked around and saw an open door next to me. Augh. So stupid. His room was just next to where I was sitting.
"Common, Stand up, the elevator's in my room."
he helped me to stand up by offering his hand.
Then we went inside his room. He was still giggling.
"Every room here has their own elevator. The building's style is unique. You just went in a circle you know. Didn't you notice it?" He said.
I was really embarrassed. I never thought that someone would build a building like that.
I bid goodbye when we were in the lobby. He told me that he could take me home, he kept on insisting but I refused. I lied that I can go home by myself. The truth is I don't want to go with him not just because I was embarrassed but because I want to avoid him. Loving him isn't right. What hurts the most is that he's already committed. If I chose to give my life to him, I will be forever happy but someone will be in sorrow for the rest of her life and that's Ryeowook.
When I already got away, I know that me being lost will happen. I'm new in the city so I don't know where to go exactly. What I did is I just asked people passing by. I did that for several hours. I didn't understand some of them, yeah. I just followed the directions that their hands were pointing to. I felt so stupid.
I never stopped walking but I didn't see any place that's familiar to me. I got tired.
"Aisshh... what happened to me in the hotel is happening again. I'm always in trouble when Kyuhyun's not around."
I started walking again. Finally, I spotted a phone booth.
I dialed my mom's number.
"Wait!...Aigoo, she will scold me.!"
I immediately put the phone back. I know she's worried right now. I don't want her to worry. Besides, she will just yell at me on the phone.
I picked up the phone again. This time, I dialed Yesung's number.
After a ring, he answered.
"hello?"-- Yesung.
"yoboseyo? Yesung-ssi!"
"Minnie-ah! YAAAAAAAHH!!"
I put the phone away and put it on my ear again.
"Yah! Yesung! you want to break my eardrums? huh?"
"Where the hell are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm okay. Pick me up.."
"Where? where?"
"I'm in the....(looked for any landmark) *****"
"okay, okay, got it. Don't go, stay there okay? I'll pick you up. Wait for me."
"Okay. Don't say anything to umma. Let me be the one to explain."
"yeah, okay"
"Okay, the time's almost up. I gotta hang up."
"I missed you Minnie."
"Ha? Oh. Yeah, yeah, you pissed me off."
"Wait! what?"
"nothing! just....I'll hang up. Bye."
"Okay. bye."
Then I hung up. I chuckled. I was just joking but when he responded he was like mad.
When Yesung came, he scanned my whole body. He even told me he thought that I was being raped. I spanked him on his head.
"yah! you're too much!" He frowned.
“Who’s too much huh? What’s up with your brain? You know I’m too innocent for that!”
“You’re like noona. She also did that to me.”
“You deserve that.”
“Anyway, what happened to that guy?”
“Kyu…you mean the guy last night?”
“Yeah.”
“……..Let’s go home already”
“Don’t change the topic. Who is he anyway?”
-----
We rode in a cab and when we arrived, my mom as I expected scolded me. I told her everything. I told her it was Kyuhyun, the person I once mentioned to her. The one who took care of me when I was in Korea. So, she felt a relief. While Yesung kept on frowning.
~IN YESUNG’S POV~
After several hours, Sungmin went to his room to sleep. I think this will be the perfect time to talk to Noona.
We talked in the living room.
“Noona, don’t forget our agreement.”
“what agreement?”
“that you’ll let me be Minnie’s boyfriend. Remember, I found him.”
“I didn’t say Yes in our agreement,”
“I heard it! You did.”
“no.”
“Yeah.”
“no.”
“Oh. Common.”
“I didn’t answer Yesung”
“Yes, You did”
“No. You’ll only take Minnie away from me. You know that I don’t want to lose him again.”
“noona, you can trust me. We’ve been friends for years you know that.”
She sighed.
“I don’t know Yesung. It’s his decision.”
“But I have your permission if you’d let me.”
“Okay. Okay. But it depends on Sungmin.”
“Yeah…. Don’t worry.”
I grinned.
“I didn’t sleep last night. I’ll go sleep now. Take care of my Minnie okay? Just like what I told you last night, If something bad happened to him, I’ll kill you.”
I laughed. “Yeah, yeah, whatever.”
----
Time went so fast. I already made efforts to be closer to Sungmin, just like what boyfriends do.
But it hurts me that he only sees me as a friend. I never let him know about my and noona’s agreement. Then this ‘Kyuhyun’ started to show up again. he started to go to Sungmin’s apartment.
When Sungmin introduced him to noona, noona was really happy. She had a good impression about him. So annoying, I have my greatest rival now. Noona always say that Kyuhyun is ‘handsome’, ‘tall, ‘gentleman’….. I wish I could kick him out of my sight so I can say that all those ‘praises’ are lies and that kind of man doesn’t exist. But I couldn’t. I guess noona likes him.
He kept on bugging my life with Sungmin. Everytime I approach Sungmin, he’ll always be there. I couldn’t start a fight cause noona might lose her trust on me. And yes, I was scared of Kyuhyun once but I won’t let that be twice or else, he’ll take Sungmin away from me again. I’ll never let him go this time.
~BACK TO SUNGMIN’S POV~
I felt a guilt for letting Kyuhyun go in the apartment. He goes often. The first day he showed, ofcourse I was surprised. I had no choice but to introduce him to umma since she already saw him. I was trying to forget him but he always pops out of my mind. Everytime he asks me what’s my answer to his QUESTION, I always say “still thinking about it”. I feel sympathy towards Ryeowook everytime I hear Kyuhyun ask.
Anyway, my mom was really impressed by Kyuhyun. Although he’s quiet around umma, umma still says that Kyuhyun is ‘cool’ the way he acts. Yesung just rolls his eyes everytime he hears umma praise Kyuhyun. Good thing, he doesn’t start a fight.
------
~YESUNG’S POV~
One time, my brother called me from Korea. He said my mother is in critical condition after her heart attack, so I have to go back in Korea. Ofcourse, I won’t go by myself so I asked noona’s permission to let Sungmin come with me.
“No Yesung.” She refused at first.
“Please…..my family needs me and I want Minnie to come with me”
“But-“
“I won’t steal him away from you noona. We will just go to Korea. Just think as if we are in a short vacation.”
“Hmm.”
“What’s the use of your approval in our agreement if you don’t want me and Minnie together?”
“Fine.”
I thanked her a lot. I told Minnie what happened about my mother and he agreed to accompany me. He said ‘what are friends for?’. He’s numb. I know he knows that I like him yet he acts and treats me as a friend only. But that’s okay, I can wait for him even if it will take forever.
Anyways, we had a leave from work. We went to Seoul the next day. We arrived in the morning. We planned to take a rest for a day and will just go to Chungnam tomorrow.
~IN NORMAL POV~
Sungmin keeps her plan of avoiding Kyuhyun by coming with Yesung in Korea.
Kyuhyun on the other hand got surprised when he arrived in Sungmin’s mom’s apartment.
“They went in Chungnam. Yesung had an emergency.” She said.
“What? When did they go?” Kyuhyun shouted.
“Last night.”
Kyuhyun, without a word ran towards his car and rushed to the airport. He booked a flight to Seoul right away. The fact that Yesung and Sungmin are together scared him. He knew that Yesung will do everything he could just to make Sungmin fall for him.
