Kyuhyun cooked spicy noodles for Sungmin the next morning, he was very proud of it since its the only thing he knows how to
cook and he knows he cooks it perfectly. Sungmin sat excitedly on the dining table and looked forward to Kyuhyun's first
cooking for him. He knows the young man doesn't know how to cook. He could just laugh himself out when Donghae told him Kyuhyun
almost burnt his own eyebrows when he tried making pouched eggs.

When the pot was served, he immediately took the lid and took a few strands of the newly cooked noodles. He blow it shortly but
he was too excited to let it cool down so he immediately put it inside his mouth. Then again, it was really hot that he
immediately spit it out when he felt like he burnt his own lips.

His face was sour as he checked his lips feeling the pain. Kyuhyun saw and asked. "What happened?"

"I think I burnt my lip." Sungmin said as he pressed his lower lip and look at his palm afterwards.

"Let me see..." Kyuhyun said holding his chin while the other openly show it. He turned it to the side-left and right to check
on it and then he chuckled shortly... "Let me put some medicine." Sungmin nodded immediately expecting some kind of antiseptic
or something since his worried lover made an effort to stand up and walked around the table for awhile. But Kyuhyun suddenly lean forward and openly pressed his lips on the particular side of the lower lip, he nibbled it
shortly while looking at his lover's reaction. Sungmin didn't expect an early morning kiss but he liked the feeling of Kyuhyun's
lips on his painful lips, he smiled widely after that. Kyuhyun break his lips away with an overly mischievous smile. "Better?"

Sungmin smiled even widely. Yeah... Kyuhyun just kissed the pain away literally.

---------------------------------

The next day, Sungmin and Kyuhyun walked around the open space in front of the resthouse. It was quite amazing, the location of
the rest house; in front is an open field, at the back is the lake; he could have sworn he's seen something like this in a drama
series because the place is dramatically perfect.

Hands interlaced. The older looking around at the serene ambiance, the trees at the side and the scent of freshly cut grass.
He smiled and shook his head as if talking to himself. Kyuhyun looked at him and smiled a bit. "Why are you smiling?"

Sungmin met his eyes and smiled childishly. "You've touched me so many times and yet this is the first time we've actually hold
hands while walking. I'm just happy." he said chuckling again making Kyuhyun smiled back and be in silence.

Come to think of it, it is really the first time he has held Sungmin's hand. They've explored each other's body for the uncountable
times. He's used his own hands to carress his lover expertly, to warm him and yet they never get the chance to hold each other's hand like
this. Seeing how happy Sungmin is, Kyuhyun felt overly contented. So this is what he has been wanting to do... to hold my hands. He
looked at Sungmin still smiling happily while looking at him every now and then. If he knew holding his hands would make his
older lover this happy...he should have done it before. He suddenly remember the night when Sungmin felt overly jealous with
Donghae and yet blaming himself for feeling that way. He should have done it that time... to make him happy and less jealous.

"Sungmin ah..." he called. Sungmin looked at him still with the same smile. "if you want... I will always hold your hand like
this."

Sungmin showed his bunny teeth. He does want that. To hold Kyuhyun's hand, to feel those slender fingers interlaced with his lady-like
fingers, and his warm palm to be one with his. He doesn't need to answer. Seeing how Kyuhyun smiled back, he knows they understand
each other pretty well.

--------------------------------
On the third day, they've decided to go out of the resthouse and stroll the market nearby. Hands interlaced, they didn't mind
the world watching them as they laugh and smile together, trying different hats and eyeglasses, taking pictures together using the
camera Kyuhyun gave to Sungmin. It was a good thing bringing it along, the 32gig SD inside is quite a handful for them to finish
if they will just stay in the room.

It was one of the happiest day Sungmin had in his entire life. He had been dreaming of going out with Kyuhyun. Dating him like
they were a regular yet dangerous couple. Wanting to hold his hand while they stroll around and spend the rest of the day by
his side were all in his secret wishlist and now they are fulfilling it all.

"I never thought we could do this..." he said. He didn't regret running away with Kyuhyun. It seemed like it was the best decision
he made next to kissing Kyuhyun that drunken night. He cannot think of Donghae right now. His guilt has seemed to rest deep in
his heart and he enjoys every single time with Kyuhyun by his side.

They've decided to eat ice cream in a small ice cream parlor. "I like that strawberry ice cream with marshmallows and sprinkles."
Sungmin said. Kyuhyun looked at him as he excitedly watches the lady expertly mixing the fresh strawberry with the ice cream. She
evenly pour the syrup and topped the marshmallows and sprinkles and stuffed in 2 wafer sticks. Sungmin bit his lips excitedly.

"I didn't know you like sweet things." Kyuhyun said. Sungmin looked at him with a cute pout.

"I always love sweet things... we never really go out that's why you don't know." he said as he happily took the plate with his
ready ice cream, he widen his mouth as he exclaimed a silent wow while looking at his beautifully done ice cream. Kyuhyun
could just shake his head. This lover of his is only older by age but not by attitude.

They sat down on a fancy car table as Sungmin rubbed his hands and took the spoon. He was about to put a scoop of ice cream in
his mouth when he looked at Kyuhyun. "Here... try some." he said offering to feed Kyuhyun with the same spoon. The young man
looked at it first and then to Sungmin and then accepted the ice cream. He freed a dissatisfied look.

"It's too sweet. How can you eat something like this?" Kyuhyun said after drinking a glass of water. Sungmin pouted cutely as
he ate a spoonful wholeheartedly.

"You have no idea." he said acting childishly as he took another scoop and made an overly satisfied expression with his ice cream.
Actually, Sungmin finds this particular ice cream too sweet as well. But just seeing Kyuhyun in front of him in such a cute ice
cream parlor and him taking the ice cream he offered, he feels so overwhelmed.

------------------------------

"Kyuhyun ah... I'm challenging you!" Sungmin said inside the house. Kyuhyun looked at him. Sungmin who is crossing his arms on his
chest and is looking all mighty proud. The young man smirked accepting the challenge.

On the fourth day, Sungmin and Kyuhyun decided to play StreetFighter all day. Sungmin has been practicing it even before running away
since he plans of challenging the game master someday. This day marks that day.

It was like a real battle inside the house as Sungmin even wear a white headband with a never give up imprinted on it. He tied it
on his forehead while Kyuhyun just watch him exaggeratedly warming up even doing some arms twisting and stretching. Sungmin looked
at Kyuhyun sharply when he saw the young man calmly waiting for him to finish his rituals. Sungmin finally do the last shoulder
circling and head twisting and stood up in front of the young man closely. "Ready to lose?" he asked.

Kyuhyun simply loves this side of Sungmin. He's been seeing Sungmin's different sides and every single thing just
makes him fall in love more. Although, he would prefer this childish side of his older lover rather than the weak and crybaby side of
his. He smirked as he never leave his eyes on the older. "Are you?" he asked raising up his eyebrows shortly.

The battle begins with Sungmin turning his back and reached for the left controller. Kyuhyun still calmly sat down and reached
for his controller.

Soon after his proud challenge, Sungmin has been shouting loudly in front of the widescreen TV. Fingers are almost making a knot
as he panickly press the controller. "Aish~!" he said. "Yah!"
"Aish...really~" he continued pressing the innocent thing hardly. "Ah...ah...Aish~!"
If the controller could complain about the way he treats it, it probably will. Sungmin was so intense in playing while Kyuhyun is
quietly pressing keys. The battle has ended with a big mark in front of Sungmin's screen for the nth time. YOU LOSE. He looked
at Kyuhyun sharply while the young man calmly took a glass of water. He made an angry face as he thought he had practiced
enough to defeat Kyuhyun.

The young man walked towards him with a glass of water. "You know you cannot defeat me with any computer games, Min." he said smiling
proudly, making Sungmin even more upset. "Maybe you can defeat me in some other things but definitely not this. It's not your
thing." he said teasing the older even more.

Sungmin kept his bunny teeth and smiled anyway. "I'll defeat you in Starcraft next time." he said as the young man approached him.
Kyuhyun chuckled and wrapped his arms around his lover.
"don't even think about it." he said and kiss Sungmin's forehead before leaving him, still with a smile. Sungmin followed and back
hugged Kyuhyun as they make their way to the kitchen.

--------------------------

On the fifth day, Sungmin decided to shower early morning. When he was done putting on his boxers, the corner of his eyes spotted
the cane marks behind his upper thighs. He looked down and looked at it through the full body mirror. He recalled the time his
mom caned him for not taking care of Donghae. "Donghae ah..." he called to himself. "You're probably hating me even more, right?"
He touched the cane marks as if it was something precious. His eyes saddened with the thought that Donghae is probably cursing
them to death. Especially him.

"Sungmin ah... you-" Kyuhyun suddenly stopped when he saw Sungmin's eyes looking at the cane marks and didn't pay attention to him
opening the bathroom door without any permission at all. He went inside without any hesitation. "Are you ok?"
Sungmin didn't answer him, instead he just looked down and continued touching his cane marks. "You miss him, don't you?"

Sungmin didn't answer, he just nodded. He does miss his younger brother, they've been inseparable since the time Donghae
started existing in this world. He has lost track of time and he doesn't know how long he has been away. Donghae must be so lonely as
he's never been alone for a long time. Furthermore... he feels sorry for his brother, for everything that he has done.

"Sungmin ah..." Kyuhyun called him gently as he touched Sungmin's hand. He looked down and slowly kneel to look at the pinkish
brown marks that stained his lover's milky skin. He touched the marks and repeatedly kissed it gently. He stood up and met
Sungmin's eyes. "I cannot take it off of you...but at least let my kiss cover it so you won't recall the pain."

Sungmin smiled a bit to let Kyuhyun know that he is fine. Kyuhyun let his arm rest on his lover's shoulder while his hand on the
other's face, gently brushing the skin at the back of his fingers. The older smiled as he felt better with Kyuhyun's touch.
However, deep in Sungmin's mind... exactly how is Donghae?

-------------------------
Donghae came back from school looking around the house, hoping his Sungmin hyung is already back. There was silence inside the
Lee house and only he exist in there. He looked down disappointedly. He doesn't looked like crying but he has no expression at
all. He doesn't feel angry but he is upset that it has been 5 days since his hyung left and until now he is still not here. Where is
Sungmin Hyung? How is he right now?

He went inside Sungmin's room that night and looked around. He touched his hyung's pink guitar and saw that the string is still
damaged. He remembered Sungmin telling him not to play with it unless he is around so that he can guide him but Donghae insisted
of playing it making one of the strings break. Sungmin loves that guitar a lot. He spent so much OTs just to earn the money to
buy it but he just break it in a few minutes. He scan through the pictures on display in his hyung's study table and finds
himself smiling at the picture frames of their
silly faces. Just then he saw the picture he has taken together with Kyuhyun and his hyung. He noticed a cut separating him
from the picture but was mended using a scotch tape. He looked down. Am I such a big distraction in this picture? he thought.
Does Kyuhyun really mean that much to you, hyung? So much that you have to abandon me?

Donghae looked up and sighed as he turned off the light and closed the door.

-------------------------

Sungmin thought of looking around the resthouse the next day. He reached the attic and find a big white grand piano inside.
He opened it and touched the keys gently, he rubbed his fingers as there was so much dust in the piano but then, he smiled.
He turned immediately and went down to take a clean rag. Kyuhyun, who just got out of bed, saw him in such a hurry to go back
to the attic. "Yah..." he called. Sungmin stopped immediately and looked at him. "Where are you going?"

"You didn't tell me you have a piano here..." Sungmin said with a smile. Kyuhyun wondered as well. A piano? The older find it
weird that the young man doesn't know about it. "You didn't know?" Kyuhyun shook his head while Sungmin chuckled. "It's quite
dirty... I'm gonna wipe the dust off..." he said and didn't wait for his lover to respond and run up the attic.

Kyuhyun lazily followed and find Sungmin wiping every dust with such gentleness. He is as surprised to see a grand piano inside
the house. Sungmin looked at him as he finished dusting off everything. He rubbed his palms and played a simple piece. He smiled
after. "It's still in good condition." Kyuhyun sat beside him and pressed random keys, he nodded after hearing that the piano
is indeed in a good condition.

"Kyuhyun ah.... let's make a song together." he proposed which was replied by a gentle smile.

Being older and having more experience in music, Sungmin proposed. "Let's think of something
that we want to say to each other. Shall we?" Kyuhyun nodded as Sungmin breathe in deeply. The younger man didn't see the change
of expression in Sungmin's eyes, from bubbly to lonely. He hesistated to press the keys shortly
but he continued anyway.

Right now, he has decided to show off a bit of his talent, he has decided to talk to Kyuhyun using his
very own music. He played a sad melody making Kyuhyun look at him, why is Sungmin avoiding his eyes? He just
continuously press those keys making a very heartbreaking melody. The older was about to say something but Kyuhyun held his
shoulder to stop him. "I knew it..." he said making Sungmin stop shortly. Whatever message Sungmin wants to convey using the
music... Kyuhyun gets it.

Sungmin looked at him with a gentle, lonely smile. "Sing it for me." Kyuhyun closed his eyes hardly and slightly bitterly as the
older started playing again. Kyuhyun hesitated to sing at first. That is how good Sungmin is in making a song, without doing
anything but simply playing the melody, Kyuhyun already knows what words would fit in to the music, what Sungmin conveys in every
key and what the older wants him to do is to respond to it. He breathe in deeply and shook his head as he tried to get the
timing. He swallowed.

Stop crying
Before you even open your mouth
I hate myself for knowing everything

Sungmin smiled bitterly as he listens to what Kyuhyun is saying. He continuously press the keys to his melody, conveying his own
secret message through the music and wanting to hear the respond he would get from his beloved man. Through this song, they talk.

I wanted to lie
and runaway, but your eyes are telling me goodbye

Sungmin closed his eyes shortly to stop his tears. Hearing the word goodbye that Kyuhyun used in the song made him clear that
Kyuhyun understands what he really meant in this song. It is time for them to say goodbye. Even so, he's decided to sing his part in reply
for Kyuhyun's message.

I finally set my heart to leave
And it came to me like a harsh storm
It might be fate that will wash away like the rain
Because it was more painful than a fate shattered like a glass
At the end of this walk,
I let you go, but you wouldn't know

Kyuhyun rested his head on Sungmin's shoulder. Stopping his breath so as not to shed his tears. But he can't, like a child
curling his lips down and on the verge of crying hard, Kyuhyun hid his face on Sungmin's shoulder. He cannot sing anymore.

"Yah... finish up the song." Sungmin said, smiling and yet his voice has changed due to his very own tears choking him.

Kyuhyun sighed and freed a short sob as he breathe in deeply once again. He saw Sungmin not minding his own tears falling. He looked
away bitterly. This is torture. Sungmin uses his own talent in making music to say goodbye to him. Heck. This is damn torture.
Still, he breathe in and continued...

Stop crying
Before I get wet with your tears
I hate myself for knowing everything.

Sungmin smiled once again with his eyes closed realising that his tears are indeed wetting his face. Kyuhyun is such a straight-
forward person, even in songs, he does seem like talking to him. He bit his lips shortly and continued.

I tried to lie
And avoid it, but your eyes are telling me goodbye

Kyuhyun sighed and shook his head again, not wanting to sing anymore so Sungmin just stick to the words he sang a while ago. But
everytime Sungmin will finish his line Kyuhyun will be thinking of the words to answer. This is crazy. He thought... why does
Sungmin wants to end everything? And why are they talking through lyrical words and melody? He knows the answer. Sungmin doesn't
want to talk about it in any other ways. Songs doesn't have any explanations, they don't need too much words, they only need the
exact message beautified by the saddened melody. Kyuhyun straighten up...

Don't try too hard to get far away
My body has been broken into pieces like what you've wanted
I can't go a step closer to you

Kyuhyun bit his lips and wrapped his arms around Sungmin, the older guy pouted his lips and let his tears wet the arms around
him. The song has ended. Both of them were crying hard. Sungmin rested his head on Kyuhyun's. "Sorry, Kyuhyun ah..."

The young man shook his head not wanting to listen anymore. If Sungmin is indeed going to say something about separation and
goodbyes, he wouldn't want to hear it. He held Sungmin tightly as if a child not wanting to be separated to his parents. Even if it's just a song,
he wouldn't want to hear it. Sungmin smiled as he sniffed gently. "Let's be crazy tomorrow." he said. Kyuhyun met his eyes, Sungmin's tears
are dry and yet his eyes seemed to be keeping some more tears inside.

---------------------------------------

That night, Sungmin felt like he had the best love making time with Kyuhyun. He had the best feeling, the most wonderful time.
He knows Kyuhyun did his best to satisfy both of them and reach more than heaven's heaven. Kyuhyun was all sweaty and catching
breath when he crawled up and looked at Sungmin, still on top of the older. Sungmin looked at him as tears came up his eyes.

He held Kyuhyun's cheeks and looked at the whole of the younger's face as if trying to memories every single part of it. The
dark mysterious eyes that has melted me since day one. That nose that has sniffle my every scent. That lips that has tasted
every inch of me... I'll never forget.

Kyuhyun knows what Sungmin is thinking and he hates the fact that this is the last time he'll be inside of the man he loves the
most. It was an unspoken decision they shared that morning. He just wished they didn't but he knew that eventually it will
happen. He kissed Sungmin's forehead.

"Let's be crazy tomorrow. Let's forget about all worries we have." Sungmin said. Kyuhyun agreed.

"Let's do things we'll never do if we don't it tomorrow." the young man nodded again still on top of him, carrying his body
with his arms.

"Make a question and answer game." Sungmin said.

"Run in the field." Kyuhyun said making Sungmin smiled wider and nodded.

"Play the whole day." they both nodded. Sungmin looked down but with a smile. "After this... let's not go back to our times
together."
Kyuhyun nodded in silence.

"Have a happy life." he said which was answer by a nod from Sungmin.

"Be successful and live well." Sungmin said which was approved by Kyuhyun. They looked at each other and smile. Tomorrow begins
the end of them. They don't look forward to it though. Sungmin embraced Kyuhyun with all his might. Not minding the younger's
weight on him. He must feel the younger's body on him, with every warmth, with every breath, with everything. Tonight marks the
beginning of their last.

Let's be crazy... and then forget about everything

about us.

*Author's note: The last time they will become together.
