[click for angsty cliche kyusung]"Kyuhyun, this is Sungmin. Sungmin, this is Kyuhyun." Yesung smiled as he introduced the two.
Kyuhyun forced a sweet smile as Sungmin bowed politely,"It's nice to meet you Kyuhyun-ssi."
"Likewise Sungmin-ssi." Kyuhyun responded as bluntly but politely as possible. Yesung just kept on smiling and walked the two to their table before disappearing. Kyuhyun sighed.
Once again Yesung had forced Kyuhyun on a blind date. Why couldn't he understand that Kyuhyun didn't want to. He knew Kyuhyun loved him but still Yesung made him go through with this. But since Kyuhyun just wanted to see Yesung happy, he allowed it.
Clearing his throat, Kyuhyun decided to give his same old speech he gave to all the other blind dates he had. That he wasn't actually interested et cetera et cetera.
"Sungmin-ssi, I'm sorry but-" Kyuhyun was cut off when Sungmin held up his hand with a slight smile.
"It's okay. I know. I know you love Yesung."
Kyuhyun's eyes widened. "What- How did you know?"
Sungmin laughed. "It's kind of obvious. The way you look at him and all."
Kyuhyun sighed and dropped his head, looking into his lap. Sungmin scooted next to Kyuhyun and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't be too down. I can see that he loves you too." Sungmin said gently. Kyuhyun shook his head roughly.
"No he doesn't. Not really. If he did why would he set me up for this? Why would he push me away." Kyuhyun said brokenly. Even though it hurt loving Yesung, he just couldn't stop. Yesung was his everything.
"He does love you. Have you talked him about this?" Sungmin advised.
"Yes, but he always avoids it. I don't know why. Why won't he just tell me." By now Kyuhyun was trembling slightly and tears threatened to spill. Sungmin lightly hugged him and rubbed his back comfortingly. Kyuhyun laid his head on Sungmin's shoulder.
"Thanks Sungmin." They only just met but Kyuhyun felt like they had been friends for ages already.

Kyuhyun faked a smile once again and politely greeted everyone he passed. He had just arrived at Yesung's big mansion for his eighteenth birthday party. But it wasn't any normal party. All the people of high ranks in the society had been invited. Old money and new money. Obviously something big was going to be announced and Kyuhyun had a very bad feeling that he knew what that announcement was.
As soon as Kyuhyun spotted Yesung, he quickly made his way over to him. However, his heart hurt when he saw a shorter boy attached to Yesung. Nevertheless, Kyuhyun smiled, another fake one, and greeted both boys.
"Hi Yesung."
"Oh hey Kyu!" Yesung said happily, turning to Kyuhyun. The other boy did not let go of Yesung's arm despite the latter giving an obvious sign for him to, Kyuhyun noted bitterly. "This is Ryeowook."
Kyuhyun bowed slightly. "Cho Kyuhyun."
Before Ryeowook could reply however, the clinking of glass was heard and everyone turned to see Mr Kim tapping a wine glass. Immediately, all chatter stopped and everyone moved towards the stage, gathering around. Kyuhyun watched sadly as Yesung and Ryeowook left to ascend the stage before he joined the audience.
"Good evening everyone and thank you for taking the time to attend this event. As you all know it is my son's eighteenth birthday." Mr Kim began.
"You all would probably also be aware that I have been planning for his marriage." At this statement, Kyuhyun could feel his heart clenching. Despite knowing full well that this was going to happen, he still wasn't prepared to face the reality of it. He couldn't.
"So I am proudly announcing that my son, Kim Yesung, is engaged to Park Ryeowook."
Park Ryeowook. Engaged to Park Ryeowook. That phrase echoed around in Kyuhyun's mind as his heart shattered into pieces in his chest. Yesung, who was onstage, managed a small smile but he was feeling anything but happy. Ryeowook was a sweet and nice boy but he didn't love him. His heart already belonged to someone else. Yesung gazed over the audience until he found who he was looking for. Locking eyes with Kyuhyun, they stared at each other. Yesung could see the other's pain, the tears brimming and ready to fall. But he couldn't do anything about it. Yesung himself is also breaking inside, but this was for the best.
Mianhae. Yesung mouthed towards Kyuhyun, hoping the other got his message. Kyuhyun looked away sadly before moving out of the audience and towards the door. Seeing Kyuhyun leaving, Yesung quickly walked to his father.
"Let me just talk to him one more time please." Without waiting for a reply, Yesung rushed out in the direction Kyuhyun went.
Kyuhyun stopped a short way from the main hall, in a dimly lit hallway. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes as the tears overflowed and silently made their way down his cheeks. Of course Yesung was going to get married, he'd thought about it many times. But why is it that it still hurts so much. He should be used to the pain. This pain he had to go through every day. But he would rather be hurt like this than not see Yesung at all. Kyuhyun couldn't live without him.
“Kyu…” a soft voice whispered. Snapping his eyes open, Kyuhyun found himself looking into those beautiful brown eyes he loved so much. Yesung lifted his hand and gently wiped the tears from Kyuhyun’s face. “Don’t cry Kyu.”
“I… I can’t help it. I can’t help it if I love you so much Yesung.” Kyuhyun choked out. he gazed at Yesung with sad eyes. “But it doesn’t matter whether you do or not though. As long as I can see you happy, I’m fine.”
Yesung shook his head. “No Kyu, it’s not like that. I just want you to promise me one thing though.”
“Anything.” Kyuhyun replied without hesitation.
“Forget me.” Yesung stated softly.
Kyuhyun put his hands over Yesung’s ones on his face. “Except that. I can and will do anything for you, except that. I can’t just forget you Yesung. You’re my everything.”
“No, no, no.” Yesung said desperately, tears spilling out of his eyes as well. “Please don’t say that. I’m not worthy of that title. Kyu, please. Find something else. I can’t make you happy.”
“No!” Kyuhyun shouted, putting his hands on Yesung’s shoulders and holding him away at arm’s length. “You have no right to say that. You can’t tell me to find someone else. Why can’t you just leave me alone? Can’t you see I’m already hurting so much already?”
With both boys now near hysterical with tears streaming down their cheeks and hearts shattering, Yesung slowly pushed Kyuhyun’s arms off his shoulders and replied.
“I’m sorry Kyu. I’m so sorry for everything. I know you’re hurt. That’s why I want you to find someone else. All I want is for you to be happy too.”
Kyuhyun sighed and lowered his head before lifting it again and looking straight in Yesung’s eyes. “Just answer me one thing. Truthfully.” Yesung nodded and Kyuhyun took a deep breath before speaking.
“Do you love me?”
Yesung slowly sank to his knees, but before he could reach the ground, Kyuhyun wrapped his arms around him and pulled him up. “Kyu I… I love you so much it hurts. It’s so painful knowing I am the one who should be making you happy but all I can ever do is hurt you. I-“
Kyuhyun had heard what he wanted to hear and cut Yesung off before he could continue. He put his hand on the back of Yesung’s head, the other wrapping tightly around his waist, and captured Yesung’s lips in a passionate and teary kiss. Immediately Yesung put his arms around Kyuhyun and responded eagerly.

Not being able to stand another minute in the superficial environment, Kyuhyun snuck out of the massive pavilion and lost himself in the extensive gardens which were almost maze like. It was the day.
Yesung’s wedding day.
It came so fast. A week after the announcement on Yesung’s birthday, the engagement ceremony was held. And now, six months after the engagement, the wedding was finally taking place. It could be said that it was the worst day of Kyuhyun’s life but then again, it wasn’t as if all the other days weren’t as painful. Every day since the engagement, Kyuhyun had been hurting like hell. But he didn’t mind. Not at all. As long as he could see Yesung’s face, his sweet smile and beautiful eyes, he was satisfied. He wouldn’t want to be anyone else, anywhere else. He just simply had to have Yesung in his life.
Sighing for the millionth time that day, Kyuhyun sat down on a bench in an empty clearing which was surrounded by high hedges. It was quite a bit away from where the whole ceremony was taking place so it was very peaceful. He looked up at the sky and watched the clouds fly by, trying to forget everything and just living in a world where he and Yesung could be together.
The crunching of gravel brought Kyuhyun back to reality and glanced towards the source of the sound. Both Kyuhyun and the person who had made the noise froze when their eyes met.
“Kyu.”
“Yesung.”
Yesung walked over to Kyuhyun slowly and sat down beside him. “What are you doing here?”
“Getting away from all the noisy chatter.” Kyuhyun replied. How much he wanted to just pull Yesung into his embrace. To hold onto him and never let go. But he couldn’t because Yesung was a married man. Well soon-to-be married anyway. “What are you doing? Shouldn’t you be getting ready or something? It’s going to start soon.”
“I know… but…” Yesung turned to look at Kyuhyun. Without any indication, Kyuhyun roughly pulled Yesung into a hug.
“Let’s… run away.” Kyuhyun whispered, burying his face into Yesung’s shoulder. “Run with me.”
Yesung felt tears gather in his eyes as he slowly pushed away from Kyuhyun, who refused to fully let the other go. “I’m sorry Kyuhyun. I really want to but… this is for your safety.”
“What do you mean?” Kyuhyun asked, confused. Yesung sighed and spoke softly.
“My father, he… he threatened me.”
Kyuhyun’s eyes widened in surprise, but he wasn’t exactly shocked at the news. It was actually quite predictable. “How?”
Yesung’s tears leaked down his cheeks and he looked down. “He said if I didn’t go through with the marriage, he would make you ‘disappear’. I couldn’t let him touch you. I won’t. So I agreed with it.”
Kyuhyun didn’t know how to respond, so he just wiped Yesung’s tears and drew him back into his embrace. “What about Ryeowook?”
“He knows. He is in much the same position as us.” Yesung replied.
“So he also has someone he loves?” Kyuhyun wondered.
“Yeah, and guess who. It’s Sungmin.” At this Kyuhyun’s jaw dropped.
“WHAT?! Are you serious?” Kyuhyun exclaimed. Yesung only nodded. “Is that why you tried to set me up with him?”
Yesung hung his head and didn’t answer. “What did Ryeowook say about that?” Kyuhyun asked.
“He was the one who suggested it and I just went through with it.” Yesung mumbled.
“Yesung, I would never be able to love someone else. I don’t want anyone else.” Kyuhyun whispered. Yesung was about to reply when a voice, not too far away, was heard calling for him.
“Sorry Kyu, I have to go.” Yesung muttered before getting up and walking back where he came from. Before he could leave, he was flipped around by Kyuhyun who pressed their lips together in a bittersweet kiss. When they finally pulled away, Kyuhyun stared into Yesung’s eyes.
“It has to be you Yesung.”
