A Million Pieces

"Kyuhyunssi! What's happened to you?" Leeteuk asks as I hold my stomach 

"I....got...what was coming to me..." Lifting me onto his shoulder he places me on the couch and brings some ice packs  

"What are you talking about? You've never hurt anyone or anything. Tell me what happened." 

"You know the artist Chi Shimizu we both love?" 

"Of course, what about her?" 

"Well, Sungmin wanted a baby and we decided to look for a surrogate. She was listed there under her real name Shelby Amaha. I've developed feelings for her recently even though we haven't known one another for very long. Sungmin and I have been fighting nonstop and he's given me two options, One : I forget she exists and stay with him, Two : If I haven't made up my mind in a moth he will send divorce papers." 

"Then why don't you just stay with Sungmin? He's your husband and plus you two have been together since high school." He shrugs 

"It's not that easy, lately I've been feeling that the only reason I married him is because I was so used to the life we've shared for so long. I can't say I don't love him at all, but when I spend time with Shelby my heart ceases to beat. She's the most caring and genuine person I've ever met. I really didn't plan this to happen." 

"What does your heart say to you? What does it really want?" 

"I really don't know.....I'm so confused and right now I'm at risk of losing both of them. I confessed me feelings to her and she's gone. The reason I'm in this condition because her butler, T.O.P beat me up for her being gone. I'm really worried about her and I have no idea where she could've gone to." My stomach turned and my cheek throbbed 

"Aish.....there's something you don't know Kyuhyunssi." He sighs heavily 

"What do you mean hyung?" 

"Shelby is a very dear friend of mine, we've known each other since we were kids and T.O.P was our friend too." 

"What?" My mouth dropped and my heart sank 

"I'm sorry, I never mentioned it before but she promised me to keep it a secret. She wants to be known for what she creates and not her face. I also know why T.O.P has done this to you." 

"Why?" 

"He's only ever told me this but.....he's been in love with her since we were kids. He's been trying to make her see him for years and she just sees him as a brother figure. It's been frustrating for him as we talk every now and then, but he's also afraid to tell her as he's afraid he'll lose her forever." 

"I had a feeling but I just wasn't sure, his actions really were that of a protective older brother. I've been hurting him as well....oh god.....I have to go find her and tell her and apologize right away." 

"I'll drive, you can't in this condition." He pats me on the back and smiles 

"Thank you hyung, I owe you for this." 

"Don't worry, also I'm pretty sure I know where she could've gone." 

"What? Where?" 

"You'll see, it's a place she and I shared as children. She would always go there when she was upset or needed to think." 

"How long has it been since you last saw each other?" 

"I'd say...8 years." 

"Why has it been so long?" 

"She got sick when we were in middle school, there was only one kind of treatment available to make her well again. In other words she had to be placed in seclusion for the treatment." 

"Where did she go?" 

"She never told me, however she called me quite often to let me know she was doing better everyday and that she would return to Korea soon. She would always tell me I was in her heart and that she would reunite with me one day. Today is that day it seems, I'm sure she hasn't changed or aged a day." A smile comes across his nostalgic face 

"Let's go find her hyung." Hugging him swiftly we hop in the car and drive to the outskirts of the city 

"We are almost out of town, where are we going hyung?" 

"We're here, so get out of the car and take a look for yourself." 

ing my seatbelt and stepping out of the car I am standing before several large cherry blossom trees 

"Look behind them.." He points helping me walk over 

"Whoa..." It was like a new world we were in, it was a small beach with gentle waves and the scent of fresh flowers filled the air, and just shy sight of view was a small house by the shore 

"What is this place?" I was flabbergasted 

"Our parents made the house and secluded this little beach with all the trees. No one knows this place exists, our parents thought it would be a nice memory of our friendship  to keep for ourselves. Now, let's go. She'll be in the house." 

Walking along the beach, the waves soothed my nerves as we approached the house 

"Stand behind me Kyuhyun." He says as he knocks on the door 

"L-Leeteuk?..." Her voice squeaked as she opened the door 

"It's been a long time hasn't it my dear?" She hugs him with tears and a big smile 

When her eyes meet mine she goes quiet with pink cheeks 

"Why have you come here?" She asks pulling up her shawl 

"Kyuhyun has something he'd like to say to you." 

"I-I I-I....I'm so sorry! I've messed up everything for everyone and especially you! Putting all this stress on you wasn't fair and I'm so sorry!" I blurt out in tears 

She just looked at me with glistening eyes and a shocked expression 

"I forgive you....and I was never mad at you for anything. What you told me at the cafe was just a lot to take in because I've never been in this type of situation before. It was just really confusing and a lot to take in. Come on in.." 

"This place hasn't changed at all..."  Leeteuk smiles with nostalgia 

"I could never change anything, neither of us could. This place holds so many happy memories of our childhood doesn't it Teukkie?" 

"It's been so long since I've heard that nickname, it feels so good to hear you say that again." They hug once more 

"Well, it's always been my special name for you, you know that." She giggles 

They were very fitting together, like they were a better couple than she and i would be 

Has hyung been keeping another secret?
