Flight departure: 10.35pm. Sungmin folded his plane ticket once again and looked at the clock. 6.45pm...he needs to go now. He
straighten up and looked at everything inside his room. He sighed deeply...he cannot do it. He cannot leave everything behind.
Just one...he'll take one memory of him and Kyuhyun. He ran towards his drawer and took his necklace and put it on. Just this...
I'll leave the rest here...including my heart. Apparently, Kyuhyun didn't bring the necklace with him on that day when he barged
inside the apartment and called Sungmin's name. For some reasons, he wanted to let the necklace be safe inside the heart-shaped
box...together.

Sungmin doubted though...whether it will be ok to bring the necklace with him. But his tight grip of the cold metal made him say yes.
He carried his luggage and started locking everything.

It has stopped snowing but the temperature is still low. Sungmin closed his coat as he lock his door. He went out of the gate
and was startled to see a guy with knees folded hugging himself, head seeming like he also want to keep it in
between his knees as well. Time check: 6.50pm

"Kyuhyun-ah..."

He's not dead...but probably he will soon if Sungmin will just stand there and will just look at his freezing body. But the
moment he saw Kyuhyun freezing cold, he immediately took off his coat and give it to the younger man. The coldness stabbed
Sungmin's spine and made him chill instantly but it didn't really matter right now. He dropped his luggage and halfly carry
Kyuhyun to stand up.

"Yah...what are you doing here..." he said. His voice warmed Kyuhyun's ear much more his heart. Its not true that Sungmin can
be cold to him for a long time and he has always proved himself right. His concerned voice woke him up from his cold thoughts
that Sungmin will ignore him for the rest of their lives.

"Why didn't you open the door...its damn freezing here." Kyuhyun said voice still dry and chilling. It almost break his jaw and
ripped his dried lips when he spoke.

"I didn't know you were outside. Since when were you here?" he said angry and defensive...but the concern never leave his voice.

"I don't know...around 1.30?"

"One thir-" Sungmin closed his eyes when he heard this. The most absurd man in the world... it was in the middle of snowfall at
1.30! Yah! Do you want to kill yourself in front of my house?!

He helped the chilling-to-death Kyuhyun go up the stairs. He the heater to the highest possible temperature and even
brought out all the packed quilts in his cabinet and wrapped it around the young man. Time check: 7.10pm. He still have time.

"What am I going to do with you?" Sungmin whispered as he watches Kyuhyun who seemed to be unwarmed at all. He check the young
man's forehead and already knew he was having flu...who wouldn't? He stayed under the snowfall for 6hours for Pete's
sake! He doesn't have anymore quilt to warm him and the heater has been pressured as well. There is no other choice.

Sungmin volunteered himself to shared his own warmth. He climb on the bed and crawled under the thick sheets, he sat down in front
of the young man, breathe on to his hands and placed it on Kyuhyun's cheeks.

"Yah..." Kyuhyun opened his eyes and said in between chilled breathing. "Your~ hands are ~c-colder than the weather outside~"

Aish. "You still dare to complain-" before Sungmin could give his reasons, Kyuhyun gather all his strength to stretch his
chilling muscles and pulled the older man to lie down on the bed. He wriggled closer as he place Sungmin's arm around him. He
wasn't contented with that, he even grab the older man's thigh and placed it around his waist. He curled himself a little to
fit his body in the older's embrace and rest his head in the crook of Sungmin's neck, breathing out airs making his forgotten
lover hard to move . Now it looks like Sungmin was the one freezing. Not doing anything but to blush big time. This evil magnae,
exactly what are you doing?!

"That's more like it." Kyuhyun said with a bit of a smile. Still closing his eyes he has already lessen a bit of his chills.
"Under you embrace... it's always very warm."

"W-why are you here anyway?" Sungmin asked not wanting to look at Kyuhyun. His face is probably adding more warmth to the
younger as his face is still burning.

"I don't believe that last night will be our end." Kyuhyun opened his eyes looking at Sungmin's covered chest. "You never even
look at me. Besides, you never even say you don't want me anymore... I see no reason for me to leave, Sungmin-ah..." that
breathlessly y way of Kyuhyun calling Sungmin's name made the older man looking down and meet his eyes.

"If you tell me that you don't want me anymore...that's the only time I will leave." his eyes pleading the older not to say
anything. The warm, dark eyes that makes the older's face blush. Sungmin sees himself looking back from Kyuhyun's eyes, he sees
his terrified reaction, how does he expect himself to say that he doesn't want Kyuhyun anymore? He swallowed shortly. Time
check: 8.15pm.

"I don't-"

"Wait." Kyuhyun said cutting him immediately. "I need to prepare myself before you say you don't want me anymore..." Kyuhyun
raised his head and reach out for Sungmin's lips. Surprised with the magnae's action, he unexpectedly parted his lips and
before he knew it...their lips became one. Kyuhyun pulled his neck towards him and tried his best not to shiver in coldness in
order to kiss his lover deeper. Sungmin told himself not to kiss back but his lips didn't spend a second listening to him. In
synced with Kyuhyun's mouth, Sungmin's not so strong emotional armor broke into the smallest particles and completely surrender
to the younger man's enticing kiss. Exactly when will he be able to reject that kind of bittersweet kiss? Despite the fact that
those lips hurt him with words, he couldn't get himself to stop being taken away by it with just a single kiss. A passionate
action shared by two...the older man loses his own battle...yet again.

Kyuhyun was feeling giddy but he refused to show it. When Sungmin opened his eyes to meet the magnae's stare...he stammered. He
sat up to avoid the magnae's eyes and to at least lie to him.

"I-i don't... want-"

"Sungmin...will you be lying to yourself when you say you don't want me anymore?"

"I'm not lying-"

"You already told me you'll be lying with whatever you will say when you kissed me."

"I-I..."

"Look at me in the eyes and say it."

How the hell can he say it while looking at Kyuhyun's eyes? He couldn't even say it even without looking at him?! Sungmin met
Kyuhyun's eyes; those dark eyes, confidence and conceitedness are present and yet...it was ever gentle and pleading him to stay.

"I...don't" want to leave you, Kyuhyun. Sungmin looked down and tears fell from his eyes. He cannot even think about not wanting
Kyuhyun anymore so how could he ever say it?

Kyuhyun pulled him down on the bed and wrap his arms around the older man. "Stay here. Don't ever go away. Just stay here beside
me." he whispered.

Sungmin looked at him in the eyes but slowly, Kyuhyun's eyes drop down and lose consciousness. The older man wondered what
happened to him and thought he is just playing. He tried moving away from the magnae but Kyuhyun's hold tightened like that of
an instict. "Minnie-ah...please don't leave me." in a sleepy voice, Kyuhyun pleaded and freed soft snores.

Sungmin finally realised that Kyuhyun is just forcing himself to wake up and convince him not to go before giving his body up.
He sighed. Time check: 9.28pm.

He knows he needs to go. He should be calling an express cab right now or something but everytime Sungmin will move, Kyuhyun
would tighten his embrace making sure the older won't go anywhere. Sungmin waited until Kyuhyun fell deeply asleep but it was
no use...he himself stop from going away as he saw a tear falling from the younger's eyes...why is he crying?

It felt like he saw their scene last night only, Kyuhyun was doing his part and he is doing Kyuhyun's... how much pain are you
feeling that you shed tears even with me around, even with the fact that I cannot stop wanting you?
With this thought, Sungmin watches the magnae sleep until he himself felt his own eyes getting heavy and completely fell asleep.

I'm going to make a bet, I'm going to stop you from going to him. Kyuhyun won, he cannot go, he cannot dare to leave the magnae.
Even without doing anything, Kyuhyun effortlessly stopped him... he has stopped him from the time the young man grabbed him and kissed him.
He cannot go to Siwon anymore... for in dreams,
Kyuhyun and Sungmin will meet and when they wake up... they will still be in each other's arms.

Time check: 10.40pm.

The next time Sungmin opened his eyes it was already daylight. He checked the time... 7.15am. He closed his eyes and felt sorry
for Siwon. I'm going to hell for what I've done. He sighed but suddenly he heard his phone rings...
He took away Kyuhyun's arm around him and stood up to answer the phone. It was Siwon. His heart beat became faster as he is
scared...for sure this time, Siwon will be the one who will bash him. He breathe in deeply and answer.

"Siwon-ah..."

"Where are you?" His voice, low and lifeless.

"I-"

"With Kyuhyun, isn't it?"

Sungmin closed his eyes as he heard an accusing tone of his dongsaeng. It felt like he was stabbed when he heard that kind of
tone from his dear friend.

"I'm sorry... Siwon-ah...it seems like I have to stay here...with him."

"You have to? or you want to?"

"Siwon-ah...please don't hate me for what happened. I-"

"Actually..." Siwon cut his words. "I'm already here in Mexico...since yesterday morning. Don't you find it weird that I'm
calling you right now?"

"E-eh?" Sungmin seemingly deaf as he think he didn't hear his friend clearly. He checked the time. On second thought, if he
indeed go with Siwon, they might still be in the plane so how could his dongsaeng call him at this time? He must have really go
first and decided to ditch him if he did come.

"I know that I will never win you over him. I always know. Somehow I tried to hope that you were really ready to come to me...
but I guess not. That's why I've decided to ditch you."

Ditch? Is that really the right word? Isn't he the one who ditch Siwon? or he...he must be joking.

Sungmin smiled with the choices of words Siwon blurted out. At least his friend can still joke about his own bitterness.

"Lee Sungmin...don't ever try coming to me again. I'm so handsome that I will just ignore you next time."

"Siwon-ah..."

"That's it. I only called so you won't feel guilty choosing a rotten bastard. I'll be fine..."

"Siwon-ah...how can I ever thank you? For everything."

"Just... be happy...for always. Hyung. Sungmin Hyung."

Sungmin smiled as he heard a busy tone from the other line. He smiled and looked at Kyuhyun who was still asleep. How can he be
so lucky? What kind of messianic thing did he do in his past life to deserve this kind of happiness? He was so happy that a
tear fell-tears of joy as they call it.

---------------
Siwon looked at Heechul with a smile... "Hyung, this is really it. I'm leaving."

It turns out, Siwon is still in Incheon airport. Indeed he waited for Sungmin to come and yes, the older man ditched him...
rejected him for the millionth time. For a while he thought he'll be the one to reject Sungmin if he did came to the airport, he
has already plans of dumping the older man and officially set him free if ever he came...sadly, Sungmin didn't come at all.
He sighed...at least nobody knows he is still a loser until the end.

Heechul stood up and nodded. "Take care of yourself... Siwon-ah. Visit us sometime." Siwon smiled and patted his Hyung's shoulder.

He did lose Sungmin again but now, after all that happened he is able to smile, he did great, he tried his best to fulfill his
task in Hyukjae's brilliant plan, Kyuhyun didn't cut their ties anymore and he believe he is still friends with the magnae and
most of all, his favorite hyung would not hate him, that's enough.
 

"You did great, Siwon-ah..." he cheered himself for being able to protect Sungmin at the darkest time, he cheered himself for
making Kyuhyun find his past, he cheered himself for being a man willing to step aside to see his hyung happy. He cheered himself
for still standing up with head held up high. He smiled as he went inside the boarding gate. My chapter in their story ends here.
