The guy is standing anxiously in front of the crowd, looking as nervous as he'll ever be. Surrounded by his best friend for the most nerve-wrecking moment of his life, he couldn't help himself to stop stomping his feet to the ground, making the best friends annoyed.

"Ya, Cho Kyuhyun. Relax, will you?" Donghae, the guy who's standing next to him, his best friend, trying to calm him down.

Kyuhyun, the one who's been stomping his feet on the ground non stop, glared at him still with the anxious look on his face. "She's coming, right hyung? What if she doesn't show up? She will come, right? Right, hyung?" 

Sungmin glared at him indisbelieve to the words he had just said, "Jeez, Kyuhyun, you're worried too much. How long have you known her? 15-freaking-years! And now, you still doubt that she won't show up?"

"But..."

Before Kyuhyun has the chance to finished his sentence, the music starts to play. And there she is... Looking as flawless as she'll ever be in her white long dress. A smile formed on her face as she saw Kyuhyun standing there, waiting for her to approached him. Kyuhyun couldn't help but to smile back at her, relieved that she's finally showed up.

 
"She's so beautiful, Kyu." Donghae whispered to him, stating the fact that Kyu already knew since he first met her.

With his gaze still locked to hers as she walked towards him, he replied to Donghae's statement, " I know, hyung. She always is..."

...And his memory went back to their first encounter, 15 years ago...
 

 

July 1997, Gangsang Park, Gangwondo

"Donghae hyung~~please don't leave, pleaaaasseee~~ I don't want to go home already..." Kyuhyun tucked the older boy's shirt as he begged him not to leave.

Donghae briefly looked at him and lightly pulled the younger's hands from his shirt as he bid him goodbye. "Sorry Kyu, my mom won't let me inside the house if I come home after 6. It's 5.30 already, I have to hurry up. Bye kyu~"

Kyuhyun pouted as he watched his hyung leaving him alone in the park. He didn't want to come home already since he didn't feel comfortable at his own house because of the non stop arguing from his parents. Their house has turned to hell, and he felt more comfortable outside the house rather than being inside it.But Donghae's decision to come home earlier than he had expected leave him no choice. 

"Hae hyung is such a kid! He's 12 but still afraid of his mom? And he called himself a man. Pft." Kyuhyun grumbled as he walked himself home, still can't accept what Donghae did to him. He kept mumbling about how Donghae's forever 5 years old in his eyes when suddenly a car passed him by. And it was then he saw her, the cutest little girl he had never imagined he could meet on this neighborhood. She was wearing a white dress (he assumed it was a dress since he could only see a glimpse of her), her hair was set a pigtail, and her doe-eyes met him as he couldn’t stop staring at her. Just like that, she smiled. The most beautiful smile Kyuhyun has ever seen in 10 years of his life.

The car went by faster than he thought, and their eyes parted. Kyuhyun then snapped back to reality. “Whoa… Who is that girl…?” He uttered, barely to himself, while continue his walk. “I wonder if I could meet her again someday… “

He stopped in front of his house when his eyes saw the car that passed him by earlier. The girl’s car. “YEAY! IT’S THE CAR!! SHE LIVES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!! WOOHOOOO!!” Kyuhyun literally jumping and screaming in joy knowing the fact that the girl who had captured his eyes is leaving nearby. Without him noticing, the girl with the pigtails hair observing him from afar, frowned her eyebrows when she saw this little boy jumping up and down like he’s out of his mind. “Mommy, that boy is weird. He’s jumping and screaming like mad… I’m scared.” She said to her mom, tugging her sleeves.

“Don’t say something like that, Yoona. He probably just won a game or something that is why he’s jumping and screaming like that. Why don’t we go over and introduce ourselves to him?” Mrs. Im dragged her daughter to Kyuhyun who’s still jumping around like mad. “Excuse me, young boy. May we introduce ourselves? I’m Mrs. Im, and this is my daughter, Im Yoona. We’re new here.” Mrs. Im said to him, smiling.

Kyuhyun got struck for a moment, realizing that the reason to why he’s acting like mad is now standing in front of him. His cheeks blushed as he saw a small hand outstretched to him, waiting for his hands to reply the gesture. “Hello, I’m Yoona. And you are…?” She asked.

He replied her gestured and their hands clasped, “I…I’m Kyuhyun. Cho Kyuhyun. I’m 10 years old now, how old are you?”  He said, blatantly.

“I’m 8 years old. Nice to meet you, Kyuhyun oppa.” Yoona said, giggled.

He can’t help but smile, hearing the sound of her giggling voice. “Nice to meet you too, Yoona…”

 

And that’s the start of their beautiful friendship…

 

April 2007, Kyuhyun’s house

“Oppa! Hurry up! We’re going to be late for the movie!” Yoona dragged Kyuhyun out of the bed, forcing him to get ready if they don’t want to be late for the movie.

“Aish… Let me sleep for a while, I’m sleeping quite late last night… besides, the movie’s going to show for a month. Why must you come on the premiere?” Kyuhyun said in an annoyed tone, covering himself in his blanket.

Yoona stared in disbelieve to the guy in front of her, she let out a small groan as she try to get Kyuhyun out of the bed, “Nope, it has to be today. You promised. Come on now get up! Ugh, how can you be this skin yet this heavy?”

“Alright…alright… I’ll go wash now… Jeez, Im Yoona, are you sure you’re a girl? You’re so strong!” He said, while massaging his back.

“I am a strong girl, indeed. Now go wash! I’ll wait downstairs. Your mom just cooked lunch and it smelled de~licious. You’d better hurry or else I’ll finish it in a bite.”

“I know you’re too kind to eat it all. You love me after all.” He said, a sheepish grin formed on his face.

“Are you sleepwalking? Because I think you’re still in your dreamland now.” She replied, annoyed.

Kyuhyun sighed in despair. Disappointed as he may seem, he tried his best not to show it in front of her. Their ongoing friendship is running smoothly for over 10 years, and he didn’t want to ruin it by confessing his true feelings towards her so-called little sister. He’s afraid that he will lose her if he ever told her the truth that he had kept since the day he met her. “No, I’m fully awake. And I wanted to say that I love you~ my little sister. You are and always will be the best sister that I never have. And I thank you for that.” He said, caressing her head.

Yoona smiled at his gesture and wittily said “You are so cheesy but I love you too, oppa! Thank you for being the best brother I never had.”

Kyuhyun felt his heart stop beating for a second. That is her first ‘I love you’ she had ever told him. And he didn’t care if it’s just a sisterly - brotherly love, because in his mind, that is the only chance he will get from her. “Now that you said that you love me, leave me some lunch! I’m starving. And later on, we’ll go to see the movie, okay?”

“Okay. I’ll wait downstairs. Hurry up!”  Yoona ran downstairs as she hurriedly went to the kitchen where the foods were served. Kyuhyun could only smile at the view and let out a big sigh as he walked himself to the bathroom. , “I wish you know the truth, Yoong…”

 

October 2007, Gangsang Park, Gangwondo

“I can’t believe that he’s cheating on your mother, oppa!” Yoona said angrily as she threw her coke’s can into the ground. Kyuhyun is sitting next to her, buried his face on his palm, and still can’t think straight. “I mean, your mother is such a perfect figure for every woman that I know. Even my mom adores her. How could he even dare to cheat on an awesome yet beautiful woman like her still don’t make sense for me.” She continue , anger still visible in her tone.

“Yoong…please. Can’t you just… shut up and be still for a moment? I just need your companion, not your opinion for this matter. I can’t think straight, and I want you to be here, beside me, accompanying me through this hard times. Please?” Kyuhyun pointed his hand at the seat next to him, asking Yoona to sit beside him.

Yoona understands perfectly that what her friend needs as of now is just someone who he could hold on to. Someone’s shoulder to lean on. And she knew it was her duty to comfort him. He needs her the most right now. She sat quietly next to him, caressing his back as she heard a soft sobbed coming out of his mouth.

“Op…”

She stopped herself before she blurted out again, and placed her head on his shoulder instead. Her hand reached out to him, held it tight as if she will never let him go. Kyuhyun held it back, tighter than her grasps. They both stay still for a while, releashing the silence the night had offered them.

“Everything is gonna be alright, oppa. I will always be here.”

Kyuhyun shifted his gaze to the girl on his shoulder, smile weakly as he landed a kiss on the top of her head. Yoona, surprised with his action, lifted her head and found him smiling at her. “Thank you.” He said, weakly.

She leaned back to his shoulder, smiling, knowing that her oppa is going to be fine.

 

Everything is going to be fine as long as they’re together.

 

January 2008, Yoona’s House

“What do you mean you’re going to move out of town?  You’re joking, right, oppa?”  Yoona said with a croaked voice, tears formed in her eyes as she looked at the guy in front of him.

Kyuhyun couldn’t stand a woman’s tears. Moreover, when it comes from this girl. That was the last thing on earth he would want to see. But now, the divorce paper of his parents have been signed, And his father gets the right to keep their house while his mother decided to leave Gangwon-do and move to Seoul to relaxing her mind, and find a job to fulfilled their needs. And for Kyuhyun, as much as he loves Yoona, his mom is still the number 1 woman in his heart. He couldn’t leave her alone.

“I’m Sorry, Yoong… I can’t leave my mom alone. After all the painful years she’d gone through, she needs me now.”

Tears flows uncontrollably from her eyes. She didn’t expect such things like this coming. She hates goodbye. Let alone saying goodbye to him. No, she never sees that one coming.

Kyuhyun grasped her hands and holding it tight. “I will still be here for you, Yoong. Whenever you need me, just give me a call and I’ll go straight to you. I promise.”

“I’m gonna miss you, oppa.”

“I’m gonna miss you too.” Kyuhyun uttered. They both keep silence for a second until Kyuhyun decided that this is the right moment to pour what’s been buried in his heart.

“You know what? I love you, Im Yoona.”

Yoona was taken aback with what he said, but still managed to control her emotions. “I know, I love you too. You’re the brother I never had, remember?” She said, smiling and lightly slapped his hand.

“No. I love you like Jack loves Rose; I love you like Romeo loves his Juliet; I love you like Ron loves Hermione. I love you like that.” He said, looking straight into her eyes, try to find answers there. “I know it’s hard to accept, and I’m taking my risks here. I’m in love with you since I first met you, 10 years ago. Many people will tell me that this is just a puppy love, and as time goes by, it will gone by itself. But the problem is, mine’s not. It stays. To make it worse, it grows more to the state that I couldn’t keep it inside anymore. I never want to ruin whatever we had here by confessing to you, but I just… I just can’t keep it anymore. I love you so much it hurts. It hurts, knowing that you only see me as the brother you never have. Not that I don’t like it, I do. But this stupid feeling of mine wants more than that. God…”

Yoona left dumbfounded as she hear his last word. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. The guy that has been labeled as her brother she never had just told her that he’s in love with her…since he was 10.

“I…I…”

“You don’t need to say a word, now Yoong. I know it’s hard to accept, and I can’t blame you if you feel a bit strange towards me now. But believe me, nothing will ever change. I promise you that.” He said, caressing her head. “I should go now, mom’s already waiting outside. Remember, whenever you feel that you need me, you can always call me and I’ll be there right away, okay? Bye Yoong…” He bid her goodbye as he walked outside the door, leaving her with all the confusion in her mind.

She looked confused for a while, thinking hard , then suddenly got up from her chair, “I think I know what to do…”

 

 

March 2008, Apgujeong , Seoul

Kyuhyun walked his way back to his apartment after buying some groceries his mother told him to buy when suddenly a girl with pigtails hair run passed by him.

“Catch me If you can Siwonnieeee~~~” The girl keeps running and screaming to the little boy behind her, teasing him to catch her.

“Aish this girl. Wait until I catch you! I’ll tickle you until you pee in your pants, Sooyoungie!”

Kyuhyun couldn’t help but chuckled at the scene in front of her. The girls in pigtails reminded him a lot about little Yoona and their first encounter. It’s been months since his confession to her and never once did she called him. He used to try calling her but he’s too afraid as to what the response he might get, so he hung up after the first tune.

*Ring…Ring…*

Kyuhyun looked at the phone’s screen and found an unknown number calling him. “Who is this?” he frowned.  “Hello?”

“Oppa?”

It seems like the world had stop moving for Kyuhyun. The only sound he could hear is the sound of his heartbeat. And it beats fast hearing the voice he’s dying to hear for months.

“Kyuhyun oppa, are you there?” Yoona said, confirming that she’s calling the right number.

“Ah, yes… yes I’m here. I’m here. Hehehe.. What’s up?” Kyuhyun said, trying to act as normal as he can. But failed graciously.

“I was wondering if the promise you’d made is still available…”

“The one where you could always count on me every time you need me? Of course it’s still available. What happened? Did something bad happen?”

“Nope, I just want you to come near Seoul University. There’s a coffee shop down there, just order 2 hot chocolate and wait for 5 minutes. Will you do that?”

“Wait, are you in Seoul?”

“Don’t ask too much. Just do as I said, okay? Bye oppa~” and by that she hung up.

Kyuhyun had no idea to what’s going on, but still obliged to what she had told him. He turned his way and took a left turn on the first corner. Luckily, Seoul University is not far from his apartment so he could just walked his way there.

He sits by the window, sipping his hot chocolate while waiting for whatever it is that Yoona had planned.

“Aish this bag is so heavy. I wonder what did mom packed in it.”

Kyuhyun shifted his gaze as he heard the familiar voice of someone who’s now standing in front of him. He blinked his eyes several times, couldn’t believe his sight. He thought he was dreaming.

“Ya oppa! It’s just 2 months since I last saw you. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?” She said, her hands on her waist. “You’re not sick, are you?”

Kyuhyun still amazed by the fact that Yoona is actually standing right in front of him, couldn’t’ help but smile like an idiot when he realized that it was not a dream.

“Yaaaa!!!! I’ve missed you! Where have you been? Why didn’t you call me? And what are you doing here, to be exact?” Kyuhyun excitedly ask her as he allows her to sit in front of him.

“Ya oppa, calm down! I’ll try to answer your question one at a time, but the bottom line is…. I’m moving to Seoul!” Yoona cheered excitedly as she clapped her hand to the new information she just announced.

“Really?!?! That is awesome! Wow, why are you suddenly moving here? IS there something wrong with you back in Gangwon-do?” He asked, suspiciously

Yoona chuckled at his gesture and take a sip of her hot chocolate that Kyuhyun had ordered before hand. “I’m going to Seoul University. I got a full scholarship!” She explained, excitedly.

“Whoa! Congratulations! I’m so proud of you.” He said, caressing her head. It’s been his favorite activity whenever she’s around.

Yoona can’t help but smile. Old habits die hard…

“Actually, that’s not the main reason I came here, oppa.”

“Then what is it?”

Yoona locked her eyes onto his before she firmly said, “I love you too.”

Kyuhyun once again left dumbfounded as he heard those 4 letters words coming out of . First he couldn’t believe his sight, and now he couldn’t believe his ear. Did he hear her right?  “What did you say again?”

Yoona sighed, “I said I. Love. You. Too.” She continued, “I love you like Rose loves Jack ; I love you like Juliet loves his Romeo; I love you like Hermione loves Ron. Yes, I love you like that. I give my all for the scholarship program to enter the Seoul University so that I could be near you. I realized I need you more than I need a brother. I need you for you. And the feeling is there all along, it’s just covered by this cloud named fear. Fear of losing a friend, a dearest brother one could ever imagine. I hope your stupid feeling hasn’t dead yet…”

Kyuhyun shook his head, smiling “This stupid feeling really is stupid. It hasn’t been watered by your presence for months, but yet it keeps growing instead of die.” He said, chuckled at his last words.

“I know… It really is stupid.”

“So... what now?”

“I’d say we try.” , she concluded, a sparks on her eyes as she said those words. Excited to the new things she had yet to develop.

He held her hands, eyeing her with an approval look, “I’d say we try.”

 

And by that, their love story begins…

 

February 2012, Seoul Grace Church, Seoul

The music stops as soon as she arrived in front of him. He held her hands whilst his eyes are still locked to hers.

“You’re beautiful.” He said, kissing her finger tips.

She let out a small chuckled hearing those words coming out from him. It’s been 5 years since they took their friendship to a new level called a relationship, but still, he never fails to make her blush by his words, or his actions. It’s like they’re falling in love over and over again. As what they had stated before, that stupid feeling never dies. It only grows even more.

“We are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of two souls into one in holy matrimony. Now, Im Yoona, do you take Cho Kyuhyun as your lawfully wedded husband, to always love him in sickness and in health, in poorer and in wealth, ‘til death do you part?”

“ I do.”

“Cho Kyuhyun, do you take Im Yoona as your lawfully wedded wife, to always love her in sickness and in health, in poorer and in wealth, ‘til death do you part?”

“I’ve been in love with her for half of my life, of course I do.”

“Okay then. By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you… Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Kyuhyun let out a sigh of relieve as he walked towards his newly wife, “Hey Mrs. Cho… nice to meet you.”

“I like my new name. Even though Cho Yoona is kinda weird, but I think I could cope with that. It’s not that bad, right?”

“Just shut up and stand still” He ordered while leaned closer and pressed his lips onto hers.

“Let’s start our forever and never let this stupid feelings die.” Kyuhyun said as he breaks their kiss.

She smiled as she saw her husband and firmly giving him the answer he already knew,

“Never.”
