You're My Endless Love
A/N: Part 3/3. It’s a continuation of “ Heechul; Master of Hidden Emotions” (which was a continuation of “ It’s Hard For You and Me”. It’s really lame. I think my writing got worse. Sorry~ >w< Or maybe it’s just because I can’t write fluff. o__o
You’re My Endless Love
They obviously still had feelings for each other. This war over Kibum was just a cover. Everyone else could see it, but they both refused to admit it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heechul learnt to leave Kibum alone, and he didn’t even own Heebum any more - Sungmin did. He talked to Sungmin now but still avoided it as much as possible because it always ended with him in tears. As a result, the recording for the second album was going very slowly, much to the irritation of a lot of the other members.
The new Sungmin liked to see Heechul in pain. He did everything he could from taunts and teases to lies about what other people were saying about him, to try to make Heechul as miserable as possible. He would only stop when the first few trickles of tears would come down on Heechul’s face. It made him cringe to see those tears; it made him want to comfort Heechul but he reminded himself that Heechul had to pay for hurting him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heechul practiced his singing a lot, even though he wasn’t a part of a lot of the songs on the new album. He found it as a good way to vent and let all his stress out. He found himself singing love songs, thinking about Sungmin. Even though Sungmin was being a complete prick, Heechul still cared very deeply for him - this really disturbed him. He reflected on the past few months. This fight is completely ridiculous! Aish, it’s turned me into a snivelling sissy - what’s happened to me!? He was shocked at the way he was behaving. It wasn’t him at all, but he was so intent on trying to get everything back to “normal” that he hadn’t even realised. He was going to fix it. Once and for all.
Sungmin liked to listen to Heechul sing. When Heechul practiced, Sungmin sat quietly outside the door and just listened. He let Heechul’s voice wash away any anger he felt and he started to feel regret. I miss Heechulie hyung. He sighed remorsefully. He was so caught up on revenge that he hadn’t stopped to think whether hurting Heechul would actually make him feel better. He just felt worse as he came to the realisation that he actually was the cause of all of Heechul’s hidden pain. Yes, even though Heechul hid his feelings very well (even when he cried it was in seclusion), Sungmin could tell that something was wrong. He needed to apologize to his hyung.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heechul found Sungmin on the other side of his bedroom door.
“Ya! What are you doing here? Are you some kind of pervert or something?”
Heechul was starting to feel like himself again. He noticed the red in Sungmin’s cheeks.
“Hyung… I just… well… you know…”
Heechul just stared at him, searching his eyes for some sign of deceit.
“I just wanted to say… that… I’m sorry, hyung. I acted like a complete jerk. I was trying to act like you to show myself that I didn’t actually like you, but I took it too far. The only thing I learnt was that I like you even more than ever. If you are going to reject me, I completely understand. I’m sorry, Heechulie. I hope… I hope you can forgive me.”
A tear trailed down Heechul’s cheek.
“Hyung! Why are you cry-”
Before he could finish, Heechul had pulled Sungmin into a deep hug.
“I’m sorry too, Sungminah. That’s all that I’ve wanted to tell you for all this time.”
He still couldn’t bring himself to say that he liked his dongsaeng… he still wasn’t ready. He felt Sungmin shaking. He pulled away to see what the matter was. He held Sungmin’s hands and saw what the problem was. Sungmin was crying. He wiped the tears off his dongsaengs face and smiled.
“Sungminah~ it’s okay now. I’m here for you.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They had to record for their album again. Things were back to normal, much to the relief of the other members. On opposite sides of the studio, Sungmin and Heechul stole glances at each other, giggling when they both caught each other looking at the same time. Their relationship was still strictly a friends only one, as Heechul still couldn’t admit to Sungmin that he liked him too. Sungmin was okay with this, happy that his hyung wanted to be around him again. The song started to play.
Geudaereul saranghandaneun mal pyuhngsaeng maeil haejugo shipuh
Would you marry me? Nuhl saranghago akkimyuh saragago shipuh
Geudaega jami deul ddaemada nae pare jaewuhjugo shipuh
Would you marry me? Iruhn naui maeum huhrakhaejullae?
Sungmin couldn’t help but look at Heechul when he sung Would you marry me? and when it was Heechul’s turn to sing the same line, he couldn’t help but look at Sungmin either. They both exchanged shy smiles and continued with the recording - Heechul was content that Sungmin did indeed have sincere feelings for him, and Sungmin was convinced that he was right about his hyung’s feelings this time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the recording session, Sungmin grabbed Heechul’s hand and dragged him outside. Heechul was surprised by his dongsaengs determination to take him outside.
“Sungminah~ what are you doing?”
“Taking you outside, hyung.”
“Why?”
“It’s too stuffy inside. I want to spend some time with you outside.”
Heechul thought this was a fair enough explanation and allowed Sungmin to continue to drag him outside. Once outside, Sungmin looked into Heechul’s eyes with such intensity that it made Heechul uncomfortable.
“Today is a nice day. Isn’t it, hyung?”
Sungmin’s eyes still burned into Heechul’s. He threaded his fingers through his hyung’s but Heechul let go straight away. This surprised Sungmin.
“Hyung…?”
“Shut up and let me say what I have to say. Sit.”
He sat.
“You know,” Heechul said pacing around a little. “That day… that you told me you were moving on from me? … that was the day… I was finally going to admit to you… aish, why is this so hard?”
He smacked himself across the forehead. Sungmin looked at his hyung curiously.
“Aish… ya! Lee Sungmin! … I like you too, okay? …there, I said it…”
Heechul was immediately consumed by a bear-like hug.
“Ya~ Sungmin~”
“I KNEW IT.”
Sungmin interrupted Heechul.
“I just knew it!”
A big grin was plastered onto his face. He moved his head so he could see Heechul’s face. Heechul moved a stray hair away from Sungmin’s face.
“I really like you, Lee Sungmin. You better not hurt me, okay?”
Heechul smiled and gave Sungmin a gentle kiss on the lips.

THE END.
