"Of course, Kibummie! When am I ever not?" Hyun-Ah teases, hugging him affectionately before standing against the backdrop.
"So why wouldn't you just come with me from the dorms, Hyun-Ah?" Kibum asks.
"Kyuhyun." Hyun-Ah says as if this one word explains everything. Which to Kibum, it actually does.
"He's out of the ICU?" Kibum asks eagerly. Hyun-Ah nods, smile dazzling. Kibum grins back at her, and the camera flashes.
"Alright, Kibum. Put your arm around Hyun-Ah. Hyun-Ah, lean you head on his shoulder. Now Kibum, tilt your head towards Hyun-Ah." The camera flashes. "Good! Now stand a little bit apart, look carefree." The shutter clicks twice. "Okay, go change."
Jaekyung greets them. "Wow, you two look really good together." Kibum smiles at her, thanking her. Kibum and Hyun-Ah are quickly sent into different changing rooms. Kibum reappears in a green striped polo with dark jeans. Hyun-Ah comes out wearing a red knotted tank top with a dark grey off the shoulder top layered over it, and a pair of skinny jeans. They are sent back out for more pictures, and this process repeats over and over.
"Last shoot." The director tells them, as they are sent back to their stylists. They pull Hyun-Ah's hair up into an elegant up-do with delicate curls cascading about her face. Her makeup is carefully reapplied. Kibum just gets his makeup fixed to suit the theme, there isn't much they can do with his hair. One of the stylists follows Hyun-Ah into the change rooms to help her put on her outfit without ruining her hair and makeup. Kibum finishes changing first, walking out in a tailored black tuxedo and shiny black dress shoes. After a few more minutes, Hyun-Ah appears in a silvery-blue dress that is cut at an angle. Her ensemble is completed by silver earrings, a delicate necklace, and white high heels. Immediately, Kibum offers his right arm to Hyun-Ah, and she takes it gratefully. Her stylist drapes a light blue sash behind her back and over her arms. Kibum escorts Hyun-Ah to the new backdrop.
Hyun-Ah laughs. "I can never walk in these." She says sheepishly, and Kibum grins down at her.
"I know." He says simply. They take several pictures in these outfits, and the studio gives them the clothing that was modeled. It always happens like this, they get to keep the clothing they model. Hyun-Ah thinks this is rather convenient, she never has to buy clothing, and she still gets paid. It's a double-win situation for her. Her stylists let her hair down, quickly combing through it. Both Hyun-Ah and Kibum have changed back into their own clothing by now, and the director hands them boxes and bags. HYun-Ah thanks him, bowing deeply. Kibum does the same, and their manager stays behind to discuss and decide further appointments.
"Aishh! Hyun-Ah, I didn't know photo shoots were that complicated!" Ryeowook says in awe as they walk towards Hyun-Ah's car.
"Yeah, but it was really cool!" Jaekyung exclaims. Sungmin laughs, speaking his assent.
"Oppa? Can we go visit Kyuhyun again?" Hyun-Ah says to Hankyung. Hankyung shakes his head.
"Visiting hours is over now, but we'll go back tomorrow." Hyun-Ah sighs, reluctantly agreeing.

One month has passed. One month of pain and torturous rehabilitation for Kyuhyun. He works as hard as he can, because he knows that Super Junior is releasing their new album, Don't Don, in September. The doctors were right - his voice loss was only temporary. He has his voice back now, and he treasures it all the more. He regrets not being able to take part in 'Attack of the Pin-Up Boys,' Super Junior's first movie. Even Hyun-Ah, along with Yuri from SNSD and Key from SHINee, made a cameo appearance. Hyun-Ah was the secretary of the student council. Kyuhyun sighs. He thinks that he will probably receive a visit soon, from Hyun-Ah, Jaekyung, and Sungmin.
Sure enough, less than 10 minutes later, Hyun-Ah's familiar voice cries, "Kyuhyun!", and she immediately runs into his arms, Jaekyung and Sungmin following close behind.
"Hyun-Ah." Kyuhyun says quietly, holding her tightly. He grins up at Jaekyung and Sungmin over Hyun-Ah's head, which honestly isn't very difficult. Hyun-Ah only reaches to just over Kyuhyun's shoulders. He backs up slowly to the bed, Hyun-Ah following him.
"Kyuhyun, you're walking! You're walking by yourself!" Hyun-Ah exclaims in surprise. Kyuhyun nods.
"Congratulations, Kyu!" Sungmin says, looking delighted. Jaekyung claps, excited. Kyuhyun beams, sitting down on the bed.
"So, when did this happen?" Jaekyung asks as Kyuhyun pulls Hyun-Ah down to sit with him, and she leans her head on his shoulder sleepily. Kyuhyun shrugs.
"Just recently, I've been trying not to use crutches or a wheelchair lately. I want to be independent." He says, making a face at the thought of being dependent on something to help him walk. He looks down at Hyun-Ah, who to his great surprise, is fast asleep. He looks back up at Jaekyung and Sungmin. Sungmin nods encouragingly at Jaekyung, taking her hand and squeezing it quickly.
Jaekyung opens her mouth. "Oppa…" She starts. "I've…um, I auditioned for SM Entertainment."
Kyuhyun... well, he doesn't know what to say.
