"He said yes to me." Siwon said when Kyuhyun walked passed him in the corridor of their house. Kyuhyun secretly crossed his eyebrows
but didn't do or say anything. What does Siwon wants?

"Stay away from him." Siwon said sternly.

Sungmin said yes to Siwon. So he really did say yes to him. No, so Siwon really took him away. Kyuhyun clenched his jaw and sighed
before turning to Siwon. He saw them hugging earlier, he doesn't like it.

"Don't even try to get close to him." Siwon warned. Kyuhyun looked at the taller man in the eyes, the latter looking back sharply and
smirking at him. "He's mine."

The younger smirked at his brother. "That's my line...Copycat." he turned his back from Siwon and looked down, upset
spells the expression in his face. Sungmin said yes to Siwon.

Kyuhyun continued walking and went to his room. He thought of going to Sungmin's room to confirm it. But he rejected the thought
immediately. He sat there for the longest time before straightening up and going out of his room.

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

It is quite surprising that Kyuhyun hasn't barged in his room until now. Sungmin looked at his desk clock: 11.27pm. By this time, he
and Kyuhyun should already be in bed, sleeping. Where is the younger man? He sat up and walked towards the door but before he could even
reach his fourth step, he made a u-turn and sat back to bed again.

"Why would I wait for him? Its not like he owns this bed, its my room anyway." he rolled his eyes and reached for the door but walked
back to sit on the bed instead. Why is hesitant? Why is he anxious? Why is he waiting?

"What am I even thinking?" Silly, Ming. Get your head straight and just sleep!

"Just because he owns the house, he can come in and out of my room." he said bitterly before sighing. "Rotten jerk." He lied down but not for a
long time. He stood up, reached for the door and open it.

----------------------------

Kyuhyun went up after getting water and saw Lee Umma in the corridor on his way back to his own room.

"Kyuhyun ah, you'll be staying in your own room?"

That was the time Sungmin opened the door and heard them talking. He needed to stop himself from going out completely so that he can
hear them talk.

Kyuhyun smiled gently at Lee Umma. "I'll be staying in my room, Umma. I've been troubling Sungmin hyung lately so..." he shrugged his
shoulder shortly.

Sungmin closed the door gently and leaned on the wall. He'd heard enough. He sighed. "Oh well... I'm glad he's moved out." he said as he walked back
towards his bed. He was a little bit jumpy when he reached his bed. Kyuhyun is out of his room. Yes!

It was already past 2 and Sungmin is still restless. He keeps on turning around the bed trying to find the right position for his sleep. He sat up frustratedly. If
it was only the first weeks of his stay in this house, he could have jumped with glee that Kyuhyun won't be coming to bother him
in his room anymore. But it has been three months since the younger started sleeping here beside him. It seems like he's gotten used
to it that its quite hard to get some sleep now. Why does Kyuhyun not going to sleep here anyway?!

Oh come on, sleep, you silly bunny!

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

"Yah!" Lee Umma said hitting Sungmin with the stick of the feather duster as it is the first thing she saw around. Sungmin
immediately carressed his arm when he felt the thin crisp of pain from the stick. He was free in the morning and decided to do some
cleaning before going to school. "Why do you keep on cleaning the house? It's not like you are being paid here!" Lee Umma said
desperately.

"Umma~!" he complained as he continuously touch his arm up and down. "I just don't want them to think I'm another mouth to feed."
he took the feather duster to his mom and continued. "At least let me help in the chores here. Guy 12 bought the old house for us, he's
the one paying for my school fees, don't expect me to lie on my bed and wait for someone to call me on meal times!"

Lee Umma sighed and patted her son's shoulder. "My son is such a hard working kid, what can I say?" she said as carressed Sungmin's
back.

"Just stop hitting me with whatever you touch!" he said pouting and stopping himself from smiling. Lee Umma hugged him tightly
and kiss him on his head.

"Aigoo~ my precious son!" she said showering Sungmin with soft kisses on his face which was gladly accepted by her son, smiling
widely and acting cutely in front of his mom.

"Umma, I'm already your son too!" Kyuhyun said from behind. The 2 looked at him as he walked towards them. "I should get a hug too, right?"
Sungmin rolled his eyes secretly. It's not like Kyuhyun and Sungmin's mom share the same blood! Why is he popping out of nowhere and
seeking attention from the older's mom?

Lee Umma smiled and extended one of her arms. "Come here, magnae!" she said and Kyuhyun smiled widely before extending his arms
to hug both Lees. "Aigoo~ I didn't know our magnae is a jealous person." the older woman said in between their shoulders.

Kyuhyun eyed on Sungmin even if the younger is hugging the side of Lee Umma. Sungmin just looked back and crossed his eyebrows
shortly when he saw the magnae's eyes seemingly like sending message to him. "I am a jealous person, Umma, I don't like
it when someone takes away what is mine."

Sungmin looked frightened with what Kyuhyun said. Does he know Sungmin and Siwon are...? Wait, why does he feel scared? No, wait, he's
not scared. Why does Sungmin feel guilty? It's not like Kyuhyun owns him, right? Still, the pounding of his heart is suddenly raced. Something is not
right. It just doesn't feel right.

"Omo!" Lee Umma said while laughing. "Sungmin ah... you're in danger."

Does his mom knows what is going on between him and Siwon? Does his mom knows what Kyuhyun has been doing to him? That he is claiming
Sungmin to be his? Why is he in danger?

"I cannot promise you enough attention with the magnae around!!" Lee Umma said jokingly while still in the middle of both young men's hug.
Sungmin looked away from Kyuhyun and straightened up when Lee Umma looked at both of them. The old woman smiled and placed
her hand on her cheeks.

"Aigoo~ I can't believe I'm surrounded by these pretty boys." she said as she shook her head and blushed as she pouted comically as if a fan girl
being delusional with her otp. "Alright, I'll go ahead, your father wants me to join him to late breakfast today."

Lee Umma left the 2 and it became too awkward when they just stayed where they are but didn't talk at all. Sungmin was about to
walk away when Kyuhyun suddenly said something.

"I'm serious about what I said."

Sungmin turned to him. Why is Kyuhyun looking serious and all? Eyeing him and making him feel guilty as if he did something
wrong. What did he do to him anyway? "I don't like it when someone takes away what is mine." Kyuhyun looked away and started
walking opposite to Sungmin's direction.

Sungmin looked down and wondered why Kyuhyun has to say those words again. What the hell is he thinking about? There's nothing
to be guilty about, right? Kyuhyun likes playing with him, yes. But a person like him will never be serious about owning him,
right? He doesn't need to feel guilty. But Kyuhyun's expression...

Kyuhyun's expression...

is just so bothersome.

------------------------------------------------------

Kyuhyun has been consistent in the rehearsals. The professors and directors of the musical were actually pleased with his unusually
professional habit. He is always on time and would even extend himself in rehearsing the songs overtime. Kyuhyun finds himself exquisitely
enjoying the rehearsals. He likes seeing the rest of the people continuesly wow-ing to his greatness despite the number of times he
has sang the same song. They've been polishing one song after another and now is the second to the last song.

"Kyuhyun, shall we rehearse the song you learned yesterday?"

Kyuhyun quietly nodded his head and cleared his throat shortly. He cannot get himself to be in the mood to do anything today.
Especially when he remembered that Siwon came to him the other night saying Sungmin said yes to him. He cannot get himself to forget
what Siwon said...

'I don't care what you want to call me. But this time, you should stop forcing your playful self to him. He doesn't like you
at all, Kyuhyun ah... He's mine.'

What makes Siwon thinks Sungmin is his? But Sungmin has long wanted Siwon and if his brother will come to take the short man away, he's
quite sure Sungmin will not have any second thoughts. He should stop thinking but how? He sighed mentally. He doesn't like what he's been thinking right now.

"Are you ready?" the voice from the professor startled him a bit as his thoughts became deeper for a short while. He sighed
first and recalled the lyrics.

[My meaningless day will probably pass by]
[Our one of a kind love is like it never happened]
[Even if I say I miss you]

Kyuhyun closed his eyes slowly and let the lyrics of the song bring out all of his emotions.

[I can't ever see you]
[Even if it hurts, I need to endure it]
[This is the way to break up]

Professor Park smiled and stood up to pat his shoulder. "You're doing a good job, Cho Kyuhyun. You'll be ready to get the script
of the play itself. I think you've almost master all the songs. You'll be ready soon."

"Professor, when am I going to..." he hesitated to asked but the old lady was able to know what it is even without finishing
his words.

"It is the toughest song, Kyuhyun. You'll learn it tomorrow. Be sure to follow the vocal warm-ups that I told you.
You can go home now."

Kyuhyun bowed to the professor and took his bag and leave. He was walking towards the parking lot when he saw Sungmin and
Siwon walking together, smiling while their hands interlaced. He crossed his eyebrows. So Sungmin did say yes to Siwon, despite his warning.
They are really together. He's mine. He can hear Siwon loud and clear in his mind. He hates it. Whatever makes Siwon say that Sungmin chose him...
he won't listen to it. His eyes turned cold and glaring sharp that when Hyukjae tapped him on his shoulder he immediately shove the hand away.

"Yah... what's wrong?" Hyukjae asked, shocked with the former's reaction. Kyuhyun looked at him sharply before quietly walked away.

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

Kyuhyun woke up early and immediately went down. He'll just drink something to warm him up before going to the rehearsal. He should shift is mind.
He doesn't like thinking about Sungmin and Siwon anymore. He has more things to do that be busy watching them. He's bitter about this thought. Sungmin
said yes to Siwon.He sighed and thought he should poop on his day. He'll be learning the toughest song. He has to be in a good mood.

Unbeknownst to him, Sungmin is already awake and is cooking a hearty breakfast for everyone. He stopped when he saw
his hyung in their mom's apron while chopping some fresh meat expertly. He wanted to ignore the older but Sungmin looked up
and saw him.

"You're early today." Sungmin said casually. He hasn't thank Kyuhyun for accompanying him the other night. Moreover, he hasn't asked Kyuhyun
why he finally decided to move out of Sungmin's room. It was quite a number of sleepless night but he's quite sure he'll get by soon. He hasn't been seeing
Kyuhyun recently and quite understand why. Zhoumi, the musical's production manager said he's been there all day and night and is not resting at all. He always wants to practice singing and even when everyone has gone home, he'll stay there to practice.

"Oh." Kyuhyun said shortly as he opened the fridge and just take a glass of milk, not spending a second to even glance at the older.
Sungmin looked down and felt weirded that Kyuhyun doesn't even spend a glimpse to look at him when he would usually start his day
with a dose of tease. Sungmin cleared his throat and wanted to start talking.

"How's the rehearsals?"

"Good."

Sungmin nodded and looked at Kyuhyun again. The younger seemed to be ignoring him for real. What is wrong with this person? Kyuhyun
placed his glass down and was about to take his leave when...

"Uh... Kyuhyun ah..." Sungmin said when he saw the young man leaving.

Kyuhyun stopped shortly and looked at him waiting to say something. Sungmin looked around and make a quick power sandwich with
wheat bread, veggies and chicken and cheese and placed it in a sandwich bag. He handed it to Kyuhyun while the younger just stare at it.

"You'll be leaving again without having breakfast. Umma wouldn't like that."
Kyuhyun took the sandwich bag and started walking away without saying anything. Sungmin looked down when the magnae has left.
Why does he feel upset that Kyuhyun didn't even spend time to ? He shook his head. Forget that rotten junk, it's better
now that he's being ignored, right?

But Sungmin looked up and watched Kyuhyun's back fade. He remembered what the young man told him.

'I don't like it when someone takes away what is mine.' Kyuhyun's disappointed dark eyes, the low serious tone of his voice, his
hands in his pocket...that expression...

it really bothers him.
