January 6th, 04.30 a.m
“Hm…” Sungmin pinched his temple.
He was no longer sleepy. It had became habit, waking up with cold sweat because nightmares, tossing on the bed, and his eyes widely open, can no longer sleep again.
He opened his messages on the cellphone.
Hyukjae: “Sungmin hyung, have you waken up by now? Don’t forget to take my shift today, okay?”
Hyukjae: “Hyung~~ Donghae and I will buy you a strawberry cheese cake! Promise!^^”
Sungmin smiled reading it and sent an “Okay” to his best friend. Finally, he got up from bed, preparing himself to go to hospital. He bit his toast, taking his backpack, and stopped at the calendar. He grabbed the marker from the table and started to write1643 days in “Friday, January 6th“. Sungmin put the marker back, right beside a photo frame.
It was him with Kyuhyun.
“Morning, Kyuhyun…”
***
Lee Sungmin, 27 years old, lived alone in his apartment. His father had died a long ago when he was still five. His mother took care of him and his little brother, Sungjin. But, his mother had also died two years ago. Sungjin had moved to his own apartment with his girlfriend, they have already engaged and planned their marriage on June.
He had lots of friends. Hyukjae and Donghee are the best of them. They have been friends since elementary school but, now, they have separated their ways of life between Sungmin and Hyukjae with Donghee. Their adorable friend was a dancer ‘dancing machine’ and a DJ now while Sungmin and Hyukjae became nurse.
They were male nurse now with a different background that lead them to this point.
Lee Hyukjae almost became a dancer like Donghee too but fate had another way for him. It was when he met Donghae. They often met at dance competition and becoming close since then. Well, they have been dating after that. They danced as if it was the only thing that made both of them alive each day. Until one day, Donghae saved Hyukjae from a car accident which made him losing his ‘life’. His leg wouldn’t recovered even though he had passed the surgery. Donghae threw away dance from his life, then Hyukjae followed him because he believed he is the one who made Donghae broken. He promised he would take care of Donghae. Hyukjae had helped in Donghae’s recovery each day and he thought maybe, just maybe, becoming a nurse would be nice so he could accompany and make sure Donghae was fine, always fine.
Hyukjae met Sungmin.
“Being someone who can help people, taking care someone you love with all your life,” Sungmin answered Hyukjae when he asked why Sungmin chose to be a nurse, “same for you, for Hae, right?” Hyukjae nodded.
“It’s for him. Cho Kyuhyun…”

“Morning!” Sungmin greeted others who just finished their night shift. Some of them yawned and greeted him back. They packed their things and bid goodbye to Sungmin. He saved his things in his locker, staring at the mirror in it, a big smile drew on the mirror.
“Fighting, Lee Sungmin!”
He looked at his polaroid photo, touched the handwriting, ‘taken by Kyuhyun-sshi’
***
Sungmin visited each room to check the patients. He gave their medicine, checking on the IV , asking how they’d feeling today, and assuring them to believe they would be healthy soon.
Sungmin held their hands, every patients, squeezed it tightly.
“Be patient. Everything will be fine…”

“Here is your balloon, little Sunny,” Sungmin chuckled then handed her balloon.
“Thank you, oppa!” said the girl and left him still sitting there.
“Hey, are you, okay??” A tall man approached him.
Sungmin just fell from the tree after taking little girl’s balloon which was stucked on the tree.
“Oh! Look at your knee! You got a scratch!” The man poured water to his wound from the bottle. He let out his handkerchief then tightens it on Sungmin’s knee. “There you go. It should be better now, but don’t forget to put on a band aid later, okay?”
But, the man didn't get any response from Sungmin.
“Hey, you listened to me, right? Hm, what’s your name?”
“Lee-Lee Sungmin…”
“Okay, Sungmin don’t forget what I’ve said before okay?” He patted the boy’s head, “by the way, you looked great when you gave the balloon to the little girl before.” The man smiled and left.
Sungmin then snapped from his daze and called him back, “Ahjusshi!! Thank you!”
The man stopped but didn’t look back and waved his hand to Sungmin.
Sungmin facepalmed after realizing another thing.
“Damn! I don’t even know ahjusshi’s name! How could I give his handkerchief back…”
Sungmin touched it and feel something on it, a name was sewn there.
“Cho Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun Ahjusshi.”

“Min-Sungmin-sshi…” A nurse named Sooyoung who was having her break time with Sungmin waved in front of him, tried to call him, “your phone has already rung three times, it’s Hyukjae, if I’m not mistaken.”
“Ah, yes, it’s him,” Sungmin checked on his phone, “thanks, Sooyoung-sshi.”
“Yup, it’s okay. You seemed to think about something before, is there something wrong?” She asked worriedly.
“Nothing to be worried,” Sungmin smiled, “some memories just popped up in my head.”
“Hm… Drink your coffee then, it’s not hot anymore because you just let it there, not sipping it even a little.”
“Yes, Sooyoung-sshi, I will,” Sungmin giggled, “oh, excuse me, Hyukjae calls again.”
-*-*-*-*-*-
“What’s wrong, Hyukkie?”
“Finally, hyung! I thought you would never pick up my call, I’m with Donghae now and we’ll pass the hospital, we can pick you up, so get ready at the main gate, okay?”
“Oh, okay, I’ll be there soon!”
***
“Sungmin hyunggg!” Donghae called from the passenger seat.
“Get inside, hyung! It’s started to rain,” Hyukjae said pointing to the back seat, “oh, before I forget, he is Donghae’s nephew.”
Sungmin got in the car and looked at his side.
His eyes widen after seeing a boy beside him.
“D-Donghae’s ne-nephew??” Sungmin stuttered.
“Hello, Ahjusshi!” The boy chirped happily to Sungmin.
“Ahjusshi’s name is Lee Sungmin,” Donghae pointed at Sungmin, “introduce yourself to him,” Donghae ruffled the boy’s hair.
”My name is Kui Xian!”
