The power of Lee Umma, which Kyuhyun wished he could have is having a heart of a rhino. Lee Umma explained everything to Sungmin in
a gentle yet encouraging way. How could she do it? It's like making a child believes that a bitter medicine is not bitter at all. Her
strong heart giving not only her own son enough strength to face another day as if there nothing wrong with him but to Kyuhyun as well.

"You have to be strong to face all this Min. Always put in mind that we are here for you." she said as she touches Sungmin's face. The
older blinking the tears away, his lips curled down and his hands around Lee Umma's neck. He met Kyuhyun's eyes shortly. The young
man standing at the corner watching the two of them.

Sungmin looked down. He won't expect anything from Kyuhyun anymore. He had seen how his father weakened and fall down and never stood
up anymore. If Kyuhyun is going to give up, he won't stop him this time. Having him for a short while here and telling him that he
loves the older dearly and at least trying to face this thing with him is enough...even more than enough.

"He won't go away." Lee Umma whispered, making sure Kyuhyun won't hear a sound at all. Sungmin wanted to look at his mom but Lee Umma
held him tightly making sure it won't be obvious that she is telling Sungmin what she and Kyuhyun had talked about.

"I thought he might want to leave but he said he won't go away."

Sungmin widened his smile and hugged his mom tighter, happy that his mom is always the cupid who bonds him and Kyuhyun together. When
they let go, Sungmin had already dried his tears. He looked at Kyuhyun with a smile and turned to his mom. "Umma, I want to go home."

Lee Umma nodded and turned to Kyuhyun. "I'll see the doctor for a while, can you help Sungmin pack his things?" the younger nodded and
closed the door when the old woman has left.

"How are you feeling?" Kyuhyun asked gently. What should he do? He wants to put Sungmin in his embrace but he's scared that all his
fear will come up and his emotions will be unstoppable. He just stay from where he is standing while looking at Sungmin, admiring his
handsome face as the older looked at him. Kyuhyun tried to be calm and put the tears right where they are. He sighed slowly
making sure the older man won't notice the long breath he is breathing out.

Sungmin stood up and walked towards him, he wrapped his arms around Kyuhyun's waist and rested his head on the younger's chest. Kyuhyun's
heartbeat, his favourite music of all. The beat is fast right now, anxious. Sungmin smiled, the young man is not a good actor at all.
He knows he's scared for him, worried and probably weakened like him, all those feelings are in his heartbeat. But it doesn't matter
now, because Kyuhyun chooses to stay with him even if he's like this. He knows no matter how scared Kyuhyun is, no matter how worried,
how anxious, he'd still be there.

"I'm feeling great."

"What did Umma said to you? It seems like you've recovered easily because of that."

Sungmin chuckled. "She said some magic words."

"What magic words?" You won't go away.

Sungmin shook his head, determined not to tell Kyuhyun anything about he and his mom's little secret. Kyuhyun shook his head as well,
his man is back from being his normal playful self. The younger planted a kiss on his forehead and smiled. "I'm glad you're smiling."

The older shrugged his shoulders and turned his back on Kyuhyun to fix his things around the hospital room. "I'll be stricter now,
Min." He said as he straightened up, the anxiety and sadness has disappeared after Sungmin's embrace and smile. "You won't miss any
medication on time and I'll make sure you'll be taken care of...by me, all the time." Kyuhyun said in a very
serious tone. Well, he would do anything and everything to keep Sungmin longer; even if it's just a day longer, an hour
longer, a minute longer. He'd do everything to keep Sungmin with him.

"Ok." Sungmin said without looking at him, his voice his in high pitch, obviously happy and back to his bubbly self.

"You have to be a good boy and listen well, ok?"

Sungmin stopped folding his clothes and turned to him. His eyes are bright and excited. He held on to Kyuhyun's hand and eagerly said...

"Kyuhyun ah, I want some ice cream."

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

"No."

Sungmin pouted when Kyuhyun disagreed immediately. How long have they been arguing about ice cream? From the time Sungmin told him
in the hospital that he wants some ice cream, Kyuhyun has been shaking him off even until they've reached the house. Lee Umma
remained quiet as she watches the two argue. She has to admit that Kyuhyun is quite patient with Min's childishness but she'd like
to see how long will it take for him to give in to her son.

"Kyuhyun ah, it's just ice cream. I want to eat ice cream. Ice cream can't kill people." Sungmin insisted. His voice is like a
child forcing his mom to agree that it's ok and is slightly getting pissed.

"I'm not sure sweets will be good for you. How many times do I have to say no, Min?" Kyuhyun said as they entered the house, his
voice is stern, determined not to give in to Sungmin's tantrums at all. Lee Umma is just smiling as they argue about it.

She has already given up on that tantrums many years back. Nobody can argue with Sungmin when it comes to eating sweets and just like
any mother, she'd just try to say no for a number of times before eventually giving in to her son's tantrums. Seeing Kyuhyun this
stern to her son, she seriously wonders how long will it last for the young man to say no to Sungmin.

"It's just an ice cream. Ice cream can't kill people!" Sungmin said defensively, closing his eyes shortly yet hardly when he
mentioned the word can't, eyebrows crossed together and stomping his feet to give emphasize to the same word. "Umma~" he turned and
cling to his mom. "Kyuhyun doesn't want me to have some ice cream~"

"But-" Kyuhyun said while looking at Lee Umma. He sighed thinking the old woman would defend her son.

Lee Umma just smile and shook her head. She thinks her son will win even without her support. She mentally laughed at her own question,
who in this world has actually not given in to her son's tantrums when it comes to sweet? She looked at both and just went to her own
room.

"See, even your mom doesn't agree." Kyuhyun said while Sungmin crossed his arms against his chest, pouting.

"I just want some ice cream. Ice cream can't kill people and I want some ice cream!" he said stomping his feet like a kid.

"No."

"Yes, I want some ice cream, Kyu. Ice cream can't kill people."

"No, Min. No ice creams for you. How many times do I have to say that sweets might not be good for you?"

"I said I want some ice cream, Ice cream can't kill people!"

Kyuhyun closed his eyes and sighed deeply, he's getting frustrated as if he is dealing with a child. How many times will he hear
those annoying ice cream can't kill people from Sungmin? Ice cream can't kill people but it can lead to some disease; diabetes,
obesity, tooth decay! He mentally rolled his eyes.

"You really want some ice cream?"

Sungmin nodded still with his pout and his crossed arms. The younger sighed and nodded in surrender, arms both raised showing his
defeat. The older immediately lightened up, his eyes bright and his smile is wide. "Really?!"

"One scoop, Min. Just one scoop." he warned, showing his index finger. Sungmin smiled and nodded before walking towards Kyuhyun for
a hug.

"Thanks, Kyu!"

"Don't Kyu me. How can you claim to be 25 when you throw tantrums like 6?!"

"Well, you wouldn't really want to argue with me when it comes to sweets. Nobody has won over me yet, Kyu."

"Tsch."

They both went to the kitchen and Kyuhyun served him a scoop of ice cream. Sungmin was in delight to see the cold sweet in his cup
and immediately scoop a spoonful in his mouth while the young man watched him eat. He smiled as he melted the ice cream in his mouth,
shaking his head to the sides and he smiles at the younger every now and then.

Just like a child, Sungmin was overly happy with a scoop of ice cream. He was smiling and playing with the spoon in his mouth and looks
at Kyuhyun with his I-win-this-arguement-and-Icecream-can't-kill-people kind of smile. He continuesly dig on the ice cream, not
minding the cream around his mouth. Kyuhyun could just shake his head.

"Yah, you have cream around your mouth." Kyuhyun said.

Sungmin bit his lower lip to clear the cream there and the sides of his lips after. He then continued eating his slowly melting
ice cream. Another cream dropped on his chin and he did the same biting action.

Kyuhyun stood up from where he is sitting and leaned forward to reach Sungmin's face.

"What?!" Sungmin asked with the spoon at the edge of his mouth.

Kyuhyun placed Sungmin's hand down and held on to his cheek before the cream off from the older's chin. Sungmin's eyes
widened when he felt the warmth of the younger's tongue on his chin, he suddenly freeze. He doesn't know which part of him suddenly
started burning; his face or somewhere down below. Kyuhyun looked at him and did a one-sided smile before the sides of the
older's mouth and finally using his thumb to dry off his own saliva at Sungmin's lower lip. To complete what he is doing, he looked
at Sungmin in the eyes and the side of his own lips as if tasting the cream he had on the older's lips. Sungmin mentally choked
on his ice cream and knows that his face is so red right now.

"Child-like doesn't work on me, Lee Sungmin. Stop acting innocent when you're actually seducing me."

"What?!" Sungmin asked with disbelief. "Yah. I'm happily eating my ice cream and you stood up and me. Who's seducing who?!" he
said agitatedly. His breathing is unbelievably out of control and his heart is about to come out of his chest, squealing and screaming
and shaking as the feeling of Kyuhyun's tongue lingers around his lips.

Kyuhyun smirked again and shook his head. "Well, what was that about? You've been playing with your spoon and and biting
your lips and suddenly smiling at me like a kid, stop using aegyo to seduce me."

Sungmin imitated his one-sided smile. "Cho Kyuhyun, I'm not too innocent enough to use aegyo if I want to seduce you!"

"Tsch. And did you even mind me when I was you?" he asked sarcastically.

Sungmin thought for a short while and shrugged his shoulder with a smile. Well, aside from kissing on the lips and hugging, Kyuhyun
never really did anything beyond normal intimacy. can be a good sign.

"Can I have one more scoop?" he asked hoping he could tricked Kyuhyun into giving him another scoop.

"Nope. I told you, one scoop, right?"

Sungmin pouted and just nodded looking a bit disappointend as he watches the remnants of the ice cream in his cup. Yeah, he
shouldn't overboard, he knows he has shown his great tantrums earlier and Kyuhyun might snap at him and can't stand his childishness.
But it's just ice cream, right? Ice cream can't kill people.

Kyuhyun watched Sungmin as he looked down disappointedly with his own rejection. Suddenly, he heard Sungmin's voice earlier, ice cream
can't kill people. He shook his head and sighed. What can he do to say no to this person?

Suddenly, th older looked at him quite surprised. It is Kyuhyun who said one scoop only but the young man placed another scoop in
his ice cream cup. Kyuhyun looked at him, a failed sharp glare.

"Last scoop, ok?" Sungmin raised his shoulder and nodded happily.

"And no more pouting."

Kyuhyun said pointing at him making Sungmin smile widely. Kyuhyun smiled back and just shook his head. His man...or should he say his
boy? Sungmin acted like a grown up earlier this morning as he listened and accepted his new found cancers and now he is acting like
a little boy half younger than his very own age. He can't believe he has tolerated his tantrums a while ago. Kyuhyun smiled as he
watches Sungmin dig in to his ice cream, he wouldn't want to miss this child-like, sick-free looking and happy Sungmin. What could
he give to save him?

While Kyuhyun is in his deep emotional thought, Sungmin felt like Kyuhyun would always give in to him. From a while ago, he knows the
young man is just trying to persuade him not to have his ice cream but in the end, he still gave in. He likes the thought that Kyuhyun
even gave him a second serving, without the need to persuade him that is. He likes everything that happened today, he wouldn't mind
these things that are increasing in his body. He has reasons to live. He has his mom, he has his friends. He has Kyuhyun and this man
beside him would give in to everything he wants.

Kyuhyun would give in to everything he wants. Kyuhyun would do everything he wants... this thought...

it thrills him.
