The new extension

Ex-convict

The two days that Kyuhyun stayed with his family were the happiest for him. Finally he has his family again! He did mentioned to them that he has someone, but did not say who, and promised to introduce that person to them soon. His mum was so happy knowing that Kyuhyun has somebody that cares for him, in those days when he was alone. 

After the sale and transfer of ownership for the store next door has been finalised, Yesung and Kyuhyun proceed to finalise the design and thereafter, renovation commenced. They had to close off part of their existing cafe to facilitate the hacking of the wall separating the two cafes. Though there were some noises due to the renovation works, customers still flocked in to Mouse Rabbit as usual so their business wasn't really affected.

"Kyuhyun-hyung, one customer rejected my latte and demanded you to do it. Sigh... can you take over for a while?" Jongjin said sadly, and then apologised to Sungmin "I'm sorry Mr Lee, I borrow him for a while".

"Sure, Jongjin, don't worry about it" Sungmin smile. He was discussing with Kyuhyun on letting Luxor-Galaxy games to be available at the extended cafe, and that they should label all games console as propriety of LeeSM, as he would be the one sponsoring. And Kyuhyun was having his break, so he joined Sungmin at a corner table, and Jongjin had taken over the barrista station, but seemed like customers still prefer Kyuhyun to make their drinks.

"Hyung, you are irreplaceable! I thought I'm nearly as good as you, but seemed like I'm still not" Jongjin said sadly.

"Heyyy, don't say that. You are good too and have your own way, but I guess the customer must have seen me sitting at that corner, that's why he demanded me to do it. During my day off, they all drink your coffees, don't they?" Kyuhyun said, trying to cheer him up while brewing coffee and the latte for the two demanding customers. 

"Yeah, but to tell you the truth, business is not as good as when you are around, hyung. Customers seemed to know your day off, so our low period are Friday nights and Saturdays".

"Maybe they went partying somewhere, not really because of me..." Kyuhyun tried to give reasons. He needed to encourage Jongjin to think highly of his own abilities. He patted Jongjin's shoulder and walked off to send the drinks.

"Sungmin-ssi! I heard about you sponsoring games console in our games corner. Thank you very much!!" Yesung came over Sungmin's table with all smiles, and sat down.

"It's my pleasure, Yesung-ssi" Sungmin smile too.

"How about having your Luxor-Galaxy game launch here then? At the extended cafe?" Yesung suggested.

"Wow, that's a really good idea, Yesung-ssi!! But it will be havoc and too noisy. Sure it will be alright with you? We might scare some frequent customers away"

"Don't worry, it will actually help me to let more people know about this cafe! What would you need us to provide? WiFi connection? Full Internet accessibility?" 

"We have already got approval from SK Telecoms' to do live streaming for gamers who are not in Seoul as Kyuhyun highlighted before that live streaming might slow down the whole network. It can be disruptive to their service, but thank God, we have their approval! So yes, we need full Internet and WiFi coverage, for about 4 hours?" Sungmin said excitedly. 

"Very well, I'll arrange for that with SK Telecoms. Maybe you can forward to me their approval and I'll follow-up from there?" Yesung raised his eyebrows and Sungmin nodded. "The extended cafe should be ready next weekend. So, maybe you plan for the launch the following week? And if you have flyers or any printed advertisements, you can bring over so that we can distribute to our customers" Yesung suggested, smiling. 

"Yes, we are printing it, as well as uploading the soft copy in search engines and sponsored advertisements in social media. Ermmm, do you have some layout plan of the extended cafe, so that we have a rough idea how big is the place?"

"Yup, give me a minute, I'll give you a copy of the layout design that Kyuhyun did. You just need to rearrange the tables to plan your launch ceremony" Yesung got up, gestured to wait and walked off. 

"Wow! Kyuhyun did the design layout? My boyfriend is so talented!!" Sungmin smile to himself. Kyuhyun was still busy at his station, so he took out his phone and called up Shindong. 

"Shindong, can update me on the progress of the flyers?" 

"All ready boss, just need to collect on Monday. Let me send you the final text message. Hold on..." Shindong sent to Sungmin's phone. 

Sungmin received it and opened up the advertisement 
"Are you ready to go on an open world adventure with Luxor Galaxy and fight epic battles or take an emotional journey to The Moon? Wait no more!!! Register here for the game launch!!"

"Great, I like it! Good work! By the way Shindong, Yesung-ssi suggested to do the launch here, at Mouse Rabbit's new extension. I'm actually okay since our venue wasn't confirmed yet"

"Ohhh that's a good idea, boss! Go for it then, I will cancel the other venue which we were still queuing"

"Okay great! Can you come here at Mouse Rabbit? We can discuss here. Wook should be here any minute now" Sungmin looked at his watch. Kyuhyun had told him that Wook was on his way.

"Okay boss, I'll be there in 30 minutes" Shindong said, logging off from his laptop.

So, after everybody could join, the discussion started and both Sungmin and Yesung presented their idea of having the game launch right here at Mouse Rabbit new extension!! Ryeowook clapped his hands due to happiness and Yesung said that he would not charge any rental fee, meaning the premise would be free of charge! Moreover Sungmin would be sponsoring the game consoles, so how could Yesung charge any fee, right?  Kyuhyun showed his thumbs up to Yesung. 

And later on the topic moved on to inviting Kyuhyun's family as guest of honour (which making Sungmin feeling apprehension as Kyuhyun had told him much earlier that he wanted to introduce Sungmin to his family), and Kyuhyun requested to invite special gamers like Minho and Suho too. All in all, it was a successful discussion and everybody couldn't wait for the renovation to end and to start the launch preparations.

Nearer to the completion of the cafe extension, as well as the launch date, Sungmin felt more nervous. Not because of the launch preparations, but the soon meet-ups with Kyuhyun's family. 

When Sungmin mentioned that to Kyuhyun on Friday at his home, a week before the launch, Kyuhyun chuckled and pecked his lips "They are nice people, Min, don't worry and don't be nervous. I'm going to say that you were the one who help me cleared my name so that they will really know who you are" Kyuhyun smile, and continued "Anyway, you've met my brother-in-law, so....."

"But your brother-in-law didn't know that we are in a relationship" Sungmin said as a matter of fact. 

"He knew... " 

Sungmin was stunned "He knew? How? When..?" 

"I told him a few days ago. We were sitting down finalising on the games corner's design, and I told him  about you. That you are that special person I mentioned back at home" 

Sungmin was listening with astonished look. Curiously, he asked "And what was his reaction?..." 

"Well, he was surprised at first, but understand my choice of partner, and respect me for that. I'm not sure whether he will tell noona, but I'm sure noona will understand too. It's Appa that I need to explain why I choose this path, but I'm sure Appa and omma will give their blessing". 

"You just got reunited with them. I really don't want to ruin it, in case they don't approve our relationship" Sungmin said sadly. 

"Don't be stress about that ok. I will handle it, don't worry" Kyuhyun smile assuringly. 

"Ok, Appa will be there too, so I will introduce him to your parents as well" Sungmin said, still feeling nervous. He snuggled more towards Kyuhyun and was earned with a nice warm wrapped. This was just lovely, just the two of them, snuggling closely, and they could just stay like that blissfully. 

Sungmin buried his face on Kyuhyun's chest. He prayed that Kyuhyun's parents would accept them and that they could be together forever. 

But, oh God, what if they couldn't accept their relationship? What would he do......?

Chapter 32: I really liked this story! Is very well written and even it has a sad background for Kyu, I loved that there is not additional drama or misunderstandings that some times just make stories longer. Yes, there are issues and insecurities but at the end they go thru them like it could happen in a healthy relationship... with communication, love and trust in each other.

It also felt very natural how things worked for Kyu with the help of Wook and Yesung, and all the hard work he did to get his life on track... he really never imposed to any of them neither Sungmin, they just helped him because ... they trusted him and recognized his value.

Also all the development for the application issues are very well described and documented.
Thank for sharing this interesting and lovely story.
