under the same sky...

My Dying Love

Sungmin is back in school. It's like nothing is wrong with him after his chemotherapy as he participates in the
school activities and even play random ie ie dance with his friends. He's quite happy with this. He won't be thinking of
Kyuhyun right now because he is the overly normal Sungmin. Even heartache won't be notice because he is normal.

Leeteuk refused to be paired with Yesung and chose Donghae to do ie ie dance with. Shindong immediately save himself and
took Sungmin while Yesung is walking around showing a duck face and feels sorry that he always had to be bullied despite not being
the youngest. Seriously?! Is he loved by this group of friends?! He knows better why they did not choose him, they want him to
do it on his own!

Yesung puckered his lips and started his to-die-for ie ie dance, his infamous i-feel-good expression and
im-a-ing-dance-machine face made the rest of them fall on the floor, laughing.

"This is why Yesung hyung is so loved!" Sungmin said laughing, holding his tummy in one hand and the other slightly covering his
mouth. Yesung smiled one-sidedly and looked sharply at them trying to hold his own laughter and embarassed self.

"Yah, do you only love me when I'm doing this?!" Yesung looked away, pretending to be upset but is laughing at himself as well.

"Hyung, you're my favourite!" Donghae said with an approved sign. Sungmin saw the clock and started standing up.

"Shoot, I'm late for my class." he said in panic and took his shoulder bag and started walking out. "See you guys!" he said and
hurriedly walked towards the corridor. He reached his classroom just in time and was able to sigh with relief. While in the class
they were reminded that there will be a showcase for the second year by the end of the month and that if a hoobae comes and ask for
help, they should be willing to do so. He took his pen and was about to write the said date but he dropped his pen by accident.
Sighing and rolling his eyes, he bent down to take it from the floor.

He suddenly remembered that he promised to write
Kyuhyun a song he would perform on that day. Is the young man still expecting him to write a song? But what will Kyuhyun sing if
he doesn't write a song? Songwriting isn't something Kyuhyun is good at. Maybe he'll ask someone to write a song for him. It means
he'll be singing someone else's song. He doesn't like the thought that Kyuhyun would sing someone's song in the showcase. Maybe
he should still write a song for him. But they've already broken up, would Kyuhyun be willing to sing his song? Why is he thinking
of Kyuhyun? He shouldn't be thinking of Kyuhyun, right? He shook his head and reminded himself not to think of the younger anymore.

After the class, Sungmin took his bag and hooked it on his right shoulder. The other students had already flooded out of the room
and he's already the last one inside. He went towards the right corridor and started walking when he suddenly dropped his bag.

Wondering why he dropped it, Sungmin thought it just slipped off from shoulder but he it became impossible when he fell on
his knees after making another step. He was surprised and tilted his head a bit wondering why he fell on his knees. He used his
palms to help him stand up so casually that it suprised him when he felt no strength from his arms and fell back again on the
floor before even standing on his feet again. He wondered, he's not feeling any pain in his head, Why aren't his legs listening to
him? He tried to move his hand but it failed to listen as well.

He thought he should drink his medicine now. He wanted to take his bag but now he cannot even move his fingers. He swallowed, if
this continues he wouldn't know what to do. He turned his hand facing
him and tried to concentrate and move his fingers but they can't, they seemed to stiffened for no reason. His heard his heartbeat,
fast and deafening and frightened.

"Where is it?"

A voice from behind made Sungmin looked back and was surprise to see Cho Kyuhyun bending and holding the bag on the floor.

Kyuhyun took Sungmin's bag the moment he came closer to the man on the floor. He didn't look at Sungmin and immediately search for
the older's medicine. He saw Sungmin falling down, twice. Sungmin stood up casually and any person in a normal state of health
wouldn't fall down just like that.  "Where is it?" he asked as he raid the bag. It was organised with all the music sheets, a
notebook, his gadgets, his pencils, his bottle of water.

"Left pocket inside." Sungmin said closing his eyes still wondering why he felt down just like that. He heard the ping of
his bag and the small sound the medicines created when Kyuhyun pulled the box out of the pocket.

Kyuhyun took out a small medicine box. "Which one?" he asked as there are so many medicines to choose from.

"All of them."

Kyuhyun looked at Sungmin and then to the medicines again. There are at least 8 medicines inside with red, blue, green, yellow,
clear and even liquid capsules. How long has he been drinking this much medicines? He asked himself. Kyuhyun is the type who
doesn't get sick too often and he can't stand drinking one capsule of medicine because it chokes him everytime, he remembered
drinking a whole glass of water and still the medicine stayed in his mouth, failing to swallow it with the water. Sungmin drinks
this much medicine, how much pain does each one relieve? He thought.

He took the bottle of water inside Sungmin's bag and sat down behind the older man letting him lean on Kyuhyun's chest. He placed
his arm around Sungmin's shoulder and tilted his chin shortly. "Water." he said as he placed the mouth of the bottle to Sungmin's
lips.

Sungmin drank a little and felt like his ears cleared a bit. "Medicine." he felt Kyuhyun's fingers in between his lips so he slightly
opened it to take the medicine. "Water." he dranked and swallow it along with the medicine. Kyuhyun watched him as he
swallow each medicine with ease. Soon enough, all the medicines are
taken. Kyuhyun wanted to applaud him for drinking 8 capsules of medicine with just a gulp of water each.

Sungmin moved away from Kyuhyun's arm and lower his head. He felt his arms and legs are back even before he drank the second capsule
but he didn't say anything because it is Kyuhyun who is taking care of him. He knows he took advantage of the situation but it's
not like he forced Kyuhyun to nurse him for the past 4 or 5 minutes.

He's quite thankful that it is the young man who saw him in that kind of state. If it happened to be someone else, he might not
know how to explain it. On second thought, what happened to him? It's not like he's hungry or anything. "Thank you. I'll be fine
now." he said as he slowly stand up and took his bag.

Kyuhyun just watched him as he keep the medicine box and zip his bag. Suddenly fury come to his head as he felt like the older is
forcing himself to be here. Why? Why is Sungmin still here? Does he want to show the young man how awful his sickness is?

"Why are you still here?" Kyuhyun asked, suddenly furious. Sungmin turned to him. "Why don't you just stay at home and rest? What
if nobody comes for help next time?!" he asked as if scolding the older one. He wouldn't want to think Sungmin will be in this
kind of state and that nobody might see him; it's a terrible thought.

"You shouldn't be here in school. You should just stay in the hospital and get better. Stop forcing yourself to do these things
anymore." He's upset knowing how badly Sungmin's condition is
and yet he is still here in school, studying hard and hanging out with friends when he can just stay at home and get better. Why
can't he just get well and come back once the cancer is gone? Why...why can't he be just normal? Kyuhyun kicked his own face
mentally; can he just stop worrying about the older man?! He's furious because he is worried and in denial.

Sungmin avoided his eyes but did not lower his head. He needs to show Kyuhyun that he can still handle himself. "I didn't ask for
your help."

Kyuhyun chuckled. "You didn't, but you seemed dying just now. You should just stay in the hospital..."

"Even if I'm dying..." he met Kyuhyun's eyes. Can he just stop melting in front of this man? If he knew better, Kyuhyun
is just worried about him because of what happened and felt agitated because of it. But he reminded himself that he has already
broken up with Kyuhyun. "It shouldn't concern you anymore." he hooked his bag on his shoulder and take a leave.

Kyuhyun closed his eyes and sighed as he rest his hands on his waist. He shouldn't have been upset. But who wouldn't? Sungmin is
being stubborn and is not minding his sickness and there he is still acting like he is damn fine. What if he can't come to the
rescue next time? What if somebody else comes and doesn't know what to do? What if he dies on the spot? What if...

**********************************************

Sungmin sat down on the bench in the small hill, his mind slowly drifted with thoughts about Kyuhyun. He eyed on the spot where
they lied down and looked at the sky. He stood up and walked towards the grassy spot and lied down. Just like what he felt when
he first lied down here, he felt like he is in his own world, nobody cares and he doesn't need to care about anybody. He stared
at the sky for a while, his eyes showed no reaction. He stretched his arm, the sky seemed near, but he still couldn't touch it.

He looked at the side and a tear fall down. Kyuhyun is not there by his side. His lips curled down shortly before looking up at
the sky once again. Is having this curse in his brain too much of a sin that Kyuhyun wants him to stay away even in school? He
closed his eyes as he clasped his hands together slowly, the same way Kyuhyun would do whenever they will hold hands. He
remembered what Kyuhyun said when he first hold his hand here.

"You're hand is perfect next to mine." thinking about it, how does Kyuhyun's fingers look like? Sungmin tried his best to draw
Kyuhyun's hands in his mind. His fingers are long and slender, a little bit rough and calloused but is warm and gentle and
it gives the feeling of being secured. Can he just hold it once again? one more time? He looked at his clasped hands, the feeling
is different. It's empty. He can never imitate the feel of Kyuhyun's hand next to him.

He closed his eyes and just recalled the happy times he had with Kyuhyun. The younger smiling at him for the first time, asking
to date him all of a sudden, kissing him on the lips and winking, blushing because he felt jealous over Chaerin noona,
acting childish and wanting some attention. He felt better because of that. He's quite thankful he
has a pretty good memory, he'll be better with just this. He opened his eyes and looked down shortly. Would they be still
together if he's not this sick? Sungmin wonders.

**********************************************

Kyuhyun turned to the side and saw Sungmin smiling. His bunny teeth present and so as the crinkles at the side of his eyes, those
mystical eyes, twinkling back at the sun. He stretched his arm to touch the older on the face but he suddenly disappeared. His
eyes wondered shortly where Sungmin has gone to. He sighed. His mind has betrayed him. He looked up and watch the clouds slowly
move. He's lying down on his favourite grassy part of the school, alone. He took a deep breath and sighed long and heavy, closed
his eyes and tears fell down on both sides. Sungmin ah.

I am guessing you like suju songs so much.. As what I've noticed on your other fics you like to use their songs as bgm and I must say it's really effective and it encourage me to listen not only suju's popular songs but also the great once.. And I'd like to say thank you for letting us know the title in each lyrics you are using.. First I have read your fic bcd and it was magnificent.. I am a reader who also read a/n and comments and even then I always read bcd being compared to mad so I also always take note to read it after bcd.. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to read it after bcd because after I read bcd, I promise myself to let the bcd feels subside first, I might not handle another angst stories so I read first minderella (also an amazing fic of yours) then finally read this one.. What can I say to this fic?? Really I might not shed a single tear in this fic but you successfully clench my painful heart.. These three fics I've read and I must predict and say, you have angst style of writing skills.. Anyways this is getting longer and I want to read more of your fics so CIAO for now.. See you in your other fics.. I hope I can also comment on each of your fics.. Ciao!!
