...the sly one

My Dying Love

"I'll sing in your live broadcast for a price." Kyuhyun told a short guy named Ryeowook.

"Why would I pay someone to sing in my live broadcast? I can get someone to do it for free." Ryeowook said calmly but is in fact
intimidated by what Kyuhyun said.

He heard Kyuhyun chuckling. "Do you really think those people you invite for free sings well?" he nodded. "Now I know why people
isn't interested in your live broadcasts." Ryeowook reacted as if he wants to say something but he doesn't know what to say. He
does get those kinds of feedback but it's not really like every person he invite sings badly. He looks at Kyuhyun and is slightly
annoyed by his confidence and arrogance. How good is he in singing that he mocks the young DJ like this?

"If I will pay you to perform here, how much will it cost me?"

Finally, the magic word came out from Ryeowooks mouth. How much is the question he learned from being alone since he was young and
it works and applies really almost everywhere and everything in the world. Kyuhyun smirked and looked at Ryeowook. The secret to
bargaining is to give the highest possible amount and aim for half. People think they were able to save money in fact, it is just
the original price.

"$80 for 5 songs."

"I don't need 5 songs. $40 for 3 songs."

"Deal."

Kyuhyun placed his hands on his pocket and looked at Ryeowook. "I'll pick the songs and be here tomorrow at around..." he thought
for a while.

"1.30, be here at 1.30." Ryeowook said. Kyuhyun nodded and walked away.

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

"What?! But..." Donghae exclaimed. How could Sungmin hyung date Cho Kyuhyun after telling him that the young man was paid by them?
He thought his hyung shooed him off right after?

"I thought you said you shooed him... off?"

Sungmin moved his head backwards and looked at Donghae. "That was Choi Siwon. Yah...how could you not remember? Tsch."

Choi Siwon? Who is Choi Siwon? That was not the man they paid for! Who the hell did Donghae see that day when he saw Sungmin talking
to someone? He should have come to them and check whether Sungmin is talking to Kyuhyun or not. Stupid Hae, what were you doing?
And why did that Choi Siwon be in that spot at that time? Argh! He ruined everything!

"But Donghae ah..." Donghae saw Sungmin looking down and biting his lips. The younger seemed confused with what his hyung is
about to say...please say he's doubting Kyuhyun. He secretly prayed Sungmin is doubting Kyuhyun. If he does... he'd definitely
tell his hyung that Kyuhyun is the person they paid for.

"I really like him."

Donghae kept his prayers to himself when he heard what Sungmin said. He saw his hyung having a slight blush and a shy smile. What
is this? Donghae couldn't believe his eyes. He had never seen his hyung acting this way. As if he wants to bury himself under the
ground due to embarassement. Sungmin really likes Kyuhyun. But...the man isn't really what Sungmin thought he is.

He weigh the situation and thought for a while. He never see Sungmin acting like this, he's being shy and yet the happiness and
anxiety are mixed in his eyes. His hyung is really in love. How can he dare say about Kyuhyun's true colour?

Donghae just sighed and smiled at him. He's not confident to say anything to his hyung. What else can he do? He thinks shutting up
for now would be the best temporary solution. That's what he'll do. Maybe he'll tell his hyung about it some other day. He took
out his phone and messaged his friends...

Sender: Fishy Hae
Message: Confirmed. They are dating.

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

Leeteuk and Yesung wanted to confirm it once again with Sungmin. Donghae has lost his credibility after telling them that Sungmin
is already meeting Kyuhyun at the small hill but apparently it was a wrong person. The looked at each other and stopped when they
heard the overhead speaker. It's time for the live broadcast.

"I invited a person to sing in our live studio today. Are you looking forward to it?" Ryeowook asked over the speakers. The 2 seniors
looked at each other and chuckled. They know this guy has been inviting aspiring singers and so far no one has been receiving a
good feedback. Leeteuk actually convinced Yesung to sing in that broadcast but he said he'll do it some other time.

"Hello everyone, I'm 2nd year, Music and Arts, Cho Kyuhyun."

Once again, the 2 looked at each other and started listening...

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

Sungmin looked at his watch shortly. Why did Kyuhyun ask him not to plug his earphones at 1.30? He sighed and he sat down on the
bench in the small hillif he doesn't plug his earphones, he'll be hearing the live broadcast, it's not like he doesn't like Ryeowook
but, he's one of those boring person who would invite people with lesser talents which makes the thing worst. When he heard the
speaker in one of the areas in the hill, he immediately sat straight.

"This song is dedicated to the special person probably sitting on the bench in the small hill. Lee Sungmin, are you listening?"
Sungmin heard a voice so familiar he immediately called his name...

"Kyuhyun?"

"Keep your notebook and don't plug in your earphones for now. This time, I'll be the one singing for you."

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

Shindong looked at his girlfriend, Nari and listened to the speaker. Donghae and Hyukjae, in the cafeteria, did the same thing as
well. Leeteuk and Yesung sat down and started listening. Leeteuk smirked and nodded his head.

"This man... he just wants to announce to everyone that he is already dating Sungmin. Sly." he took out his phone and manipulate
it for a while and received a message saying he has successfully transferred money to Kyuhyun's account.

Yesung looked at him and asked. "If Donghae told Sungmin about what we did with this person, how did they still end up dating?"

"That's a good question. I wanted to ask that as well." He sighed a little bit upset can be seen in his sharp eyes but he
listens to the song as well.

Kyuhyun started singing as the whole school who doesn't use earphones or are outside the classroom can hear his singing voice. Some
didn't care to listen but for most, they took their time to stop and listened well to his voice.

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

[Eolmana eolmana deo neorul] How much, how much more do I
[Irheoke baraman bumyeo honja] Have to stare at you alone
[I baramgateun saram] This love that came like the wind
[I geotjigateun saram] This beggar-like love
[Gyeseokhaeya niga nareul sarang hagenni] If I continue this way will you love me?

Sungmin was smiling on his own as he listens to Kyuhyun. He has find out from the young man that he wants to be a singer. With
this kind of voice, he knows no doubt that Kyuhyun would be able to do it with no sweat at all. He swayed his head gently as he
listens as if the young man is in front of him. He smiled and looked down a bit, Kyuhyun is serenading him. How sweet can it be
to be serenaded by the person you are dating? Sungmin now knows the feeling.

Just singing beside him could be an ace for Sungmin but Kyuhyun is singing it in the school's radio live broadcast which means
half or at least a quarter of the population is listening right now, set aside those who are ignoring the existence of the
school's radio, Sungmin bet they are all amazed with what they are hearing now. This song is dedicated to him- Lee Sungmin. Who
knows how many more songs are lined up for him?

"Did you hear it? Sungmin ah..."

Kyuhyun knows he did a great job in singing. It's like hitting two birds in one stone for him. He needed to impress his lover and
needed to announce to his friends that they are officially dating and he wants to get the money. He eyed on Ryeowook secretly,
the shorter man looking so astonished by his voice. His mouth is slightly open and is clapping stupidly as if he was an audience.

Ryeowook placed his headphones back after Kyuhyun cleared his throat. He needed to work again. "Woah, I've never heard Kyuhyun sshi
sing before. I think I made the right choice in inviting him here." Ryeowook said. "Wow, I have some comments in store for our
guest singer, this is the first time I've received this number of comments. Emceebutterfly says omo, this is the first time I
listened to the live broadcast. Kyuhyunnie, you're voice is so
good! There is another one comment here from goofypoofy, she says you're voice is so good, Kyuhyun ah, marry me!"

Kyuhyun chuckled over the microphone. He hopes Sungmin is still listening. The older man should know that he should hold on to
him since he will have a lot of competitors because of his charm and talent. He held the mic and respond to the comments.

"Goofypoofy sshi, I'll marry you if Sungmin allows." he said and smiled shortly.

"Kyuhyun sshi, are you ready for your next song?" Ryeowook asked and Kyuhyun nodded.

[neol bomyeon pyeonhae] When I see you, I feel comfortable
[Ireon mal neon sirheohaetjiman] Even though you don't like it when I say that
[haengbokhae hajuman yeojeonhi neon buranhaehaeji] I'm happy, but you're still nervous
[uisimhajima neol georophijima] Don't doubt, don't torture yourseld
[sasil sunjinhan saramingeol] You're in fact, an innocent person
[sarangseureon nun useum neomchil ttae] When you smile like that with those lovely eyes
[noen areumdawo nunbusyeo] your beauty is dazzling

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

He sang 3 full songs and immediately got the payment from Ryeowook. "I've gotten a lot of response today, thanks to you. Maybe I
can invite you again some other time. I can pay you for the same price."

Kyuhyun smirked. "I don't accept payments lower than $50 after the first time." he didn't wait for Ryeowook to answer. He knows
the young DJ can't afford him anymore. He started walking and look for Sungmin.

He found the older man keeping his things on his desk and is taking out his bag, preparing himself to leave. He waited for Sungmin
outside and blocked his way. The older man being startled took his time to react before smiling at him. "Hey!" Sungmin said with
a shy smile.

The older man reminded himself that he can't be too excited in front of Kyuhyun. He must restrain himself from expressing his overly
joy self because it might be a turn off for the young man. He should keep calm even though he is screaming in the inside. Kyuhyun
tilted his head a bit and looked at him. "You're blushing..."
Kyuhyun whispered making Sungmin touched his face. He immediately touched his face, he thought he was calm and restrained how did
a blush escaped without him noticing it?! Oh ! His face is really hot. If it wasn't for the younger noticing it, he wouldn't
have known.

Kyuhyun chuckled because Sungmin fall on his trap. He wasn't really blushing when the young man told him so, Kyuhyun just know
Sungmin is somehow suppressing whatever it is that he is keeping, now he is indeed blushing. Sungmin embarassedly looked down and
covered his suddenly burning face with one of his hands but Kyuhyun placed his hand
down and smile at him. "I like that you're blushing because of me." Sungmin looked at Kyuhyun with an innocently cute yet
embarassed and burning face before looking down again.

Kyuhyun smiled as he watches Sungmin acting like that. He didn't realise Sungmin can be effortlessly adorable. Like a teddy bear
he would want to put in his pocket or cuddle to sleep. His smile disappeared shortly as he questioned himself why he is thinking
of keeping Sungmin in his pocket or cuddling him to sleep. Tsch.

He placed his arm around Sungmin and they both started walking. "Kyuhyun ah..." Sungmin remembered the songs Kyuhyun sang in the
overhead speaker and knows he should praise the young man because of his incredible singing. He thought only his Yesung hyung has
a gifted voice in the school, at least now he knows there is another one; and he's proud to say he's dating that person.

"Uhm?"

Sungmin bit his lips before saying. "You'll be a great singer." Kyuhyun turned to him when he heard that. Sungmin could just say
he's good in singing or he has a nice voice. What he said just now is not in the list of the words he expected the older man to say.
He swallowed as he felt the sincerity in Sungmin's eyes.

Sungmin smiled at him and looked down as he started walking while Kyuhyun catch up with him and hold him around the waist. He'll
be a great singer. Kyuhyun has always believed he was great; he doesn't have an overwhelming confidence in his body for no reason,
but hearing this from someone else made him feel extra good.

Sometimes confidence alone is not enough to achieve a dream; it requires encouragement as well. I've never had anyone to believe in
my dreams. I had always been the one cheering and trusting me. Sungmin ah...


You're first person to ever believe in my dreams..

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!!
