It's been a month since Piano arrived at the said Countryside, where the said Countryside-Spinocerebellar guy lived-- Kyuhyun. And much to her surprise the guys didn't seemed to have the said sickness, because he can still talk, walk, run, and the most amazing thing is, he can still clean the whole house, all by him-self.

Piano was inside the house enjoying her coffee, while, of course, watching her patient. A soft sigh escape her lips while thinking, 'how in the world was he still able to do things on his own, when he was diagnosed a year ago'

Kyuhyun felt like someone was staring at him, and he was right, after he saw Piano looking at him, while thinking of something he doesn't know. 'Oh well, better not mind her business, I won't mind if she stared at me the whole day,' he told his-self, as he continue to clean the lawn. After half a minute or so, Kyuhyun heard the doorbell rang, he immediately go to the porch before Piano could even stand on her seat, but knowing her, she'll surely follow.

When Kyuhyun reached the porch, a man... seemed like a delivery guy, was there, holding a medium sized box. which is wrapped... seemed like present... for him...? 'of course, no'.

"What is it?" Kyuhyun asked the man, when he reached him.

"A package for Ms. Piano, sir," The man told him.

"Oh... I'll get it for her," he said.

"Okay, please sign here," the man smiled at him, while handling him a paper to prove that he was the one who receive the present. Kyuhyun sign the paper and give it back to the delivery guy, who immediately said his thanks and leave him, with the package... 'the delivery guy looks oddly familiar... Somehow...' Kyuhyun strangely looked at the delivery guy, who's walking really fast, just to get out of the area soon. 'does my house looked hunted?' he asked to his-self, while staring at his newly cleaned house. "Nah" he just sigh. 'of course it's not the house...'

He was about to enter the house when a card dropped on the floor... he leaned down... he got curious of what the card may say, and what the box may contain, specially because of the fact that he's like a over protective fan of Piano... 'what if the box contains an explosive device, since the delivery guy leaved immediately after he gave the box to me,'

So in the end, he decided to open the card, and to his surprise the words that was scribbled on it was...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY... my favorite nurse," that's it... no, from blah blah, or to blah blah. but since the card says favorite nurse, he's pretty sure that it's Piano. 'Wait... happy birthday, my favorite nurse?...It's her birthday today...?' he asked him-self... pretty dumbstruck.

Piano was about to stand on her seat, to follow Kyuhyun, when her cellphone rang.

"Yeoboseyo" she answered.

"Happy birthday" someone greeted from the other line, but immediately hanged the phone off. She doesn't have to ask the caller who he is... because she perfectly knew who the bastard caller is...

"That crazy-old bastard Dr. Jung" Piano hissed under her breath.'he have some nerves calling me, and greeting me happy birthday, when he perfectly knew, that I hated that word, next to my name! I'll definitely kill him, when I see him' she cursed.

Before she can attempt to once again stand on her seat, Kyuhyun appeared with a medium sized box... more like a present, on his arms.

"Here... someone send it for you..." Kyuhyun told her.

"Thank you," she told him.

"You didn't told me it was your birthday," Kyuhyun whined. Which made her flinch a little.

"It's not your business," she murmured. Kyuhyun stamped his hands on the table. "Well, it is, after we became... house mates," It was the only edible explanation he can give her.

"Well, I don't like celebrating my birthday," she told him.

"Why? Do you have a peter pan syndrome..." Piano flinched at the patient's pathetic words. "You know... the one, when you doesn't want to get old," Kyuhyun tried to explained, when he saw Piano flinched.

Piano was about to sassed back at Kyuhyun, when she heard a bark.

'A bark...? someone's barking?' she looked at Kyuhyun giving him a puzzled expression, but Kyuhyun also gave him the exact replica of the look.

"Huh?" they both said in unison, when they both heard the bark again. Piano almost immediately unwrapped the box, and open it.

"Arff," the little pup barked at the bewildered nurse and patient, whose looking oddly at him. 'weird couple,' was what the little pup thought, 'Are they pretty sure that this couple will be my parent?'

"It's a cute puppy," Kyuhyun announced. If there is one thing that Piano was glad about, it would be the fact that no one lived next door, because if there is, everyone could heard Kyuhyun exclaiming everything that's happening to her.

"I know..." Piano said, not really interested.

"Come on, give it a name, give it a name," Kyuhyun pleased, using his cute puppy eyes, but if you asked Piano, she'll say Kyuhyun was nagging her.

Piano rolled her eyes. "How the hell am I suppose to name the little pup, when I don't know its gender."

"Oh, I forgot about that," Kyuhyun said, and quickly check the gender of the pup.

"Is this a girl?" Kyuhyun thought, apparently the dog was a Shih Tzu... and Shih Tzus are too hairy.

'No duffus, I'm a boy,' if only Kyuhyun could heard the dog.

"Let me see," Piano also checked the dog's gender. "Are you blind?" She asked Kyuhyun, who looked at her with an what-did-I-do expression. "This is a guy," Piano stated flatly.

"Oh, sorry," Kyuhyun made a cute expression so that Piano could easily forgive him. "Fine," Piano sighed heavily.

"So, what should we name him?" Kyuhyun asked. Piano rolled her eyes again, because Kyuhyun is a bit annoying for her.

"How about naming it Kyuhyun," Piano said. Kyuhyun widened his smile in great honor.

"I liked it, why Kyuhyun by the way?" he innocently asked.

"Because, I'm predicting that dogs are just like you, annoying," she mumbled the word annoying on her breath, but Kyuhyun heard it by the way.

'No, not his name, think something beautiful and manly,' the dog frowned.

"Oh, he didn't like it," Piano said bluntly, when she heard a soft whimper coming from the dog.

"Should we name him, Choco," Kyuhyun proposed.

"No," Piano answered.

"Heart?"

"No,"

"Jewel," "Candy," "Pear," "Apple?" Kyuhyun proposed so many names, but Piano keep on signaling him 'No' by moving her head right to left.

"G--" Kyuhyun was about to say another name but Piano interrupted.

"This is the last, and if it doesn't come to my liking the dog's name will be Kyuhyun. Araso," she told him, with a smirk on her beautiful face. Kyuhyun gulped, he knew that, if the dog was named after him, that means his name should change, to avoid confusions, and that means something bad. "So Kyuhyun-sshi, what was the name you're proposing to me?"

"Gin," Kyuhyun turned pale when he saw Piano looking straight to his eyes.

"Why?" she asked. But she already think that the name was good, she's just making her patient nervous. It makes her happy.

"Because he's colored silver," Kyuhyun explained pointing the dog's silver fur. "And as I know, in Japanese the word Gin means silver,"

Kyuhyun was getting more nervous as he heard a soft chuckle escaped Piano's lips. "Okay, Kyuhyun," Piano looked raised the dog in the air as if she was talking to the dog. 'No' Kyuhyun and the dog thought in unison. 'Not my name,' Kyuhyun frowned. 'Not his name,' the dog frowned.

"What's with the long face? Aren't you happy that I agreed with the name Gin?" Piano asked Kyuhyun in a playful disbelief tone.

"What?" Kyuhyun suddenly asked dumb founded. "I'm not someone who repeats something just for someone," She straight forwardly told Kyuhyun.

"Yes!" Kyuhyun shouted as he made a small victory dance, which annoyed Piano a bit.

***

The delivery guy sat on the park, as he fanned his-self with his cap.

"Almost caught," said the delivery guy. "Ah, am I really getting old? After running, calling and walking, I'm already tired?" he said in disbelief, he then let a soft sigh escape his lips. "Jung Yong Hwa, you're really getting old," He chuckled to his-self.

***

"Hey," Kyuhyun said, looking at how Piano softly put her gaze on the little dog, who was currently sleeping on the wooden floor.

"What?" Piano replied.

"Want to drink?" Piano immediately turn her head to her patient, when she heard those words. She also gave him a look that says what-the-hell-are-you-thinking. "Well, it's your birthday after all, right? And it desperately needed to be celebrated, because you'll never know," Kyuhyun was trying to convince Piano, and to his surprise, instead of sassing back, which she frequently do, she agreed with a slight nod.

At seven o'clock, Kyuhyun already prepared everything needed on the round table for the said occasion, which included the beer, and Sam Gyop Sal. And the only thing missing, or should he say, the only person missing, is non other than the birthday celebrant.

Kyuhyun waited for about half minute, before Piano arrived, and seat on the chair who's also waiting for her.

Kyuhyun smiled at the sight. "I thought you wouldn't come," he said smiling in relief.

"I agreed, right? And where did you get this stuff?" Pointing at the Sam Gyop Sal's pan.

"Oh, that, that thing is always at the kitchen. Haven't you seen it once?" Kyuhyun told her.

"No," she bluntly told Kyuhyun, as she place a piece of meat on the pan.

"Here," Kyuhyun put some beer on her glass. She rolled her eyes at the smiling Kyuhyun, but she drank the alcohol by the way.

***

Kyuhyun almost laugh at his nurse, when he saw her slouching on the round table, ready to sleep, he guessed. But when he's about to take Piano to her room to get some rest, she suddenly spoke.

"Hey, where are you taking me?" Piano asked, with her already drunk tone. "Let's drink some more," she poured another beer on her glass, and also Kyuhyun's.

"Nurse Piano you're drunk," Kyuhyun stated with concern.

"No, I'm not drunk," she denied. "And what are you calling me? Piano? Do you know I hate the name?"

"Come on, please you're drunk," Kyuhyun was holding her arm, but she harshly get his grip off her.

"Don't act like you know me, because you don't," Piano gulped the alcohol on her glass. But instead of, dragging Piano away from the table, Kyuhyun sat at his previews seat. 'Drunk people never tell lies, and instead of just knowing she hated her name, I'll also try to know the reason behind her hating it.'

"You're drunk," Kyuhyun smirked. "And why would you hate you're own name?"

"Because my mom gave it to me. That's why I hate it," she said, now she's drinking the beer on Kyuhyun's glass. Kyuhyun hated seeing her like that, but what can he do? He's the one who choose the situation.

"Your mom? That's childish," Kyuhyun commented, which earned a death glare from Piano.

"Because you didn't know, my mom love piano more that me, and I hate it," at that said, the nurse's eyes started to form tears, ready to drop any moment. "That's why I never touched pianos."

"What makes you say that?" Kyuhyun interrogated.

"What makes you so curios about my mom?" she asked him. 'Ahh, chincha... it's really hard to beat her bush , even though she's drunk,' Kyuhyun said in his mind. 'come on... pali think of something,'

"Because you said, she love piano more that you. So what makes you say that?" small sweat drops appeared on Kyuhyun's forehead, while wishing that Piano would buy his explanation.

"It's because, she's always not with me, and she's always going abroad to perform, I can't even remember her face," Tears rolled on her cheeks as those words escape . "Don't you know how hard it is, to know that she's there right in front of you, but you can't feel her. To fell so close yet so far," she sobs.

"But, you do know, it can change everything if you tell her how you feel, right?" Kyuhyun asked.

"Yes, I do know that... but that woman died on my 12th birthday, together with appa, she also take appa with him, she left nothing for me, I hate her!" Piano cried hard to the point that Kyuhyun couldn't take it any more and pulled her into his chest and wrap his arms around her to comfort her. "Shh, it's alright, it's alright," he assured her.

Piano sobbed softly as her hidden sufferings was finally  release...
