The Musical

Minderella and the Beast

"What can I do? I agreed to see a movie with Siwon on this day." Sungmin said. He felt sorry that it has to be on the same date. He
planned to see the musical... well not because of Kyuhyun. Of course, why would it be because of Kyuhyun? It's just that... well,
his song is going to be part of it so he should come and see it. It's definitely not because of Kyuhyun. Nope, definitely not. But
he made a promise to Siwon and he's a man of words. He cannot back out even if he wants to see the musical.

Kyuhyun's heart beats furiously. Why does it have to be with Siwon? Sungmin could just have another reason, why must it be his brother
again? He thinks somehow Siwon has planned to let their father go to that business trip on the same day as the musical since he has
the access to the school's yearly plan and his father's schedule.

"Did I ask you to watch it? Since you love cleaning just throw it away for me." Kyuhyun said and went away without even looking back.
He was just furious, disappointed that despite what he and Sungmin has been doing recently, the older still happen to choose Siwon
afterall. He looked sharply at a random guy who accidentally bump him. His stares could have killed the guy if the latter didn't
apologise.

"Why is he upset? I didn't ask him to give me this ticket?" Sungmin pouted in front of Donghae. The glimpse of disappointment didn't
escape his dongsaeng's eyes. Why is Sungmin hyung upset that Kyuhyun left disappointed with him?

"Such a jerk." he said and placed the ticket in the pocket of his jacket uniform. Donghae wondered why Sungmin pouted like this. He
never pout like this whenever he talks or deals about Kyuhyun. He would usually roll his eyes and looked angry. He will always be
furious like that when being defeated by a nemesis. Now Sungmin looks like a cute girlfriend having a small arguement with her
boyfriend. Pouting and upset but wouldn't want to break up.

"Hyung..."

Sungmin looked at Donghae, pout is still present in his face. "What?" he asked uninterestedly.

Donghae scratched his head first. How is he going to ask Sungmin this? It sounds stupid but for him it's quite obvious. But well
this is Sungmin. Anything obvious for the others to see is something his hyung would never see...or realise.

"Have you..." Donghae scratched again. "I mean..." he shrugged his shoulder hoping Sungmin can understand but oh well his hyung is
really quite stupid. "Uhm...you know..."

"Yah! What do want to say?!" Sungmin asked, trying hard not to vent on his own frustration to Donghae.

"Do you like Kyuhyun?"

Sungmin's eyes widened upon hearing the question. Does he like Kyuhyun? That man. That rotten jerk who keeps on stealing kisses from
him and making him angry and anxious and scared and excited and furious and confused and...

He felt agitated. Why is Donghae asking such ridiculous question?!

"O-of course not! Why would you think of that? Jeez, Donghae, I will never like that person! He's the evil-est person I've ever met
and I'd rather jump in this building than to-"

"Hyung, alright... You've made your point. Calm down." Donghae said almost laughing to his hyung's instant reaction. Sungmin hyung,
you're quite obvious...and stupid.

Sungmin sighed deeply calming himself down. Ridiculous, such a ridiculous question. He shook his head. Of course he doesn't like
Kyuhyun. He won't like Kyuhyun. Never. Siwon is with him and even if the older Choi is sometime sending him creeps, still, it is
Siwon we are talking about. The man of his dreams. The man he has admired for a long time and he'll be stupid if he just leave Siwon
for just a rotten jerk like Kyuhyun. No, he doesn't like Kyuhyun. Never. Not in this lifetime. Not when he is always casting his
shadow over the older man. No!

Sheez, Ming, who are you convincing?! Just shut your mind up!

"Hyung..." Donghae called making Sungmin cut his thoughts. He looked up and saw Siwon standing in front of him. Smiling. The smooth
confident smile he used to admire. He used to? He doesn't admire it now? Argh! Of course he does! Siwon has one of the most perfect
smile, why wouldn't he admire it? . There he goes again.

Sungmin saw 2 rectangular papers in front of him. 2 tickets. "Hyung, I got our tickets." Siwon said.

"O-oh..." Sungmin said and took it.
Titanic 3D
8.30 pm
Seat no H5
               H6

"Can you keep it? I'm afraid I might lose it."

"O-oh..." Sungmin said and placed it in his jacket uniform. Siwon smiled again and he repay it with a straight smile. All the while
Donghae is eyeing on them. Where is the shine in Sungmin hyung's eyes when we were stalking on Siwon before? Why is he anxious? Why
is hyung seemingly uninterested?

Siwon took his leave and left the two."Hyung..."

"Oh?" Sungmin asked.

Donghae looked rather disappointed with how his hyung responded to the tickets Siwon gave. If it is like before, Sungmin might be
choking him to death because he can't contain himself with too much happiness and sugar. What has happened to Sungmin? His hyung has
started changing from the time he moved in to the Chois house.
 
--------------------------------------------------------

"I can't believe I'll be missing Kyuhyun's musical." Choi Appa said while shaking his head. Lee Umma at his side rubbing his back
to comfort him. "You should have seen him when I told him I can't come." Sungmin's mom sighed and stretched her arm around Choi
Appa's shoulder.

"I'm sure he'll understand. You didn't see the musical coming and it has overlapped your schedule by accident." Choi Appa shook his
head, unconvinced.

"Why don't you get them an official videographer so you can still watch it after our trip?"

Choi Appa straightened up and looked at his future second wife. He smiled widely at the idea. "That's a good idea." Lee Umma smiled
back and rested her head on the man's shoulder. Choi Appa took his phone and called his secretary.

"Miss Kim, can you provide a videographer on Kyuhyun's musical. Tell them to send me a copy of the play as soon as they've processed the materials.
Send it to Boston as soon as you get it."

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

The day before the musical itself, Choi Appa and Lee Umma were sent by Sungmin and Siwon to the airport. The old Choi sighed again.

"Kyuhyun is still busy preparing for this musical and I won't even be able to watch it." he said. Sungmin just looked down and
sighed. Even he wants to agree and sympathise with the older, he too is guilty of not prioritizing Kyuhyun.

Siwon and Sungmin went back home quietly.

"Sungmin ah..."

Sungmin turned to the taller man. "Let's meet tomorrow after school." the older nodded and looked away, but Siwon immediately turned
his face and claimed his lips. Sungmin was dumbfounded. Where does Siwon gets his guts in kissing him? He can't believe Siwon is
doing this to him. Claiming his lips roughly, holding both his cheeks and pressing it with his fingers to make an opening in his close
mouth. He stepped back and created a small distance from Siwon.

"Good night~" Sungmin said with the same straight smile he showed when Siwon pass him the tickets before walking away.

Siwon straightened up and watched the older man. Just a little bit more... I'll make you mine completely.

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

After months of rehearsing, the musical has finally come to its d-day. Kyuhyun woke up in the morning feeling all tensed and nervous.
What if he fails, what if he forgets his lines? What if he gets out of tune? What if people laugh at him? What if... what if... and
a lot more what ifs filled up his mind. It was way too early for anyone to wake up. He took his bag and went out of his room.

"Breakfast, breakfast..." he whispered to himself as he walked towards the kitchen. He woke up before Sungmin thus, his sandwich is
not yet prepared. His palms are sweaty and is slightly shaking. He was raiding the fridge as there is nobody awake yet. He needs to
get some easy breakfast but he cannot find anything easy to prepare.
He sighed. "Fine. Just milk." he said.

"Oh, you're awake?" Sungmin, in his pyjamas, some hair still standing up and his cheek with bed marks, asked. Kyuhyun just turned to
him shortly and drink his milk. The older walked closer towards him as he stretched a bit and yawn. "Today is the performance day,
isn't it?"

"Stop asking ridiculous questions!" Kyuhyun asked irritably. He doesn't want to hear anything about the musical because its giving
him even more tension. The musical is at 8.30pm but he has to be there as early as 7am to have some internalization, vocal warm-ups
and costume adjustments and technical checks.

Sungmin looked at him and saw the younger's fist slightly shaking. He ignored the young man and opened the fridge and
took some vegetables, meat and eggs.

"Have some breakfast first." Sungmin said. He immediately the stove and boiled some eggs. He moved around the kitchen as
the younger just closed his eyes trying not to think of his performance. Yeah, breakfast might be a good idea. He needs to fill his
stomach so his brain won't be filled with any thought about what is going to happen today.

"It's ok to be nervous since it's your first time." Sungmin said making Kyuhyun opened his eyes widely. What is Sungmin doing? Why is
Sungmin talking about the musical again? He doesn't want to hear it! This bunny is not helping him to feel better at all! If
he keeps on talking about the musical, he swears he'll back out today.

After a few minutes, the egg was cooked so Sungmin drained the hot water and wash them with tap water. He prepared an easy sandwich
for Kyuhyun and the latter took it as his hyung continuously moves around.

"Why do you always prepare breakfast?" Kyuhyun asked. Maybe a small chat away from the event later won't be that bad. Besides, it's
not the first time he sees Sungmin waking up early and preparing a hearty breakfast for all of them. It's not like they don't have a
maid or something.

"I don't really like waking up without doing anything. Besides," Sungmin stopped as he squats down and took out some pan. "I'd prefer
doing something for the family instead of being just a burden. I wouldn't want your father to think I'm another mouth to be fed."

"Tsch. We're not that simple minded." Kyuhyun said as he bit on his sandwich.

"Well, it's my prerogative." Sungmin said as he do some stirring and cooking. He set the other foods aside and started peeling the
hard boiled eggs. Kyuhyun had finished his sandwich and has somehow
forgotten that he'll be performing something big today. He was about to walk out of the kitchen when...

"Goodluck on your performance~!"

Kyuhyun swallowed once again and felt like his knees turned jello, he thinks he cannot make it. He's having cold feet, and it's all
Sungmin's fault, why does he have to remind him about it?. He turned to the older and walked towards him. "Do you actually think I
need that kind of encouragement?"

"Eh?"

Kyuhyun straightened up and breathe out "Since you're not coming to see me later, why not give me the best encouragement you can give?"
Maybe a kiss on the cheek can do a little magic on him. But Sungmin just looked at him not understanding what the magnae is pertaining
to. Kyuhyun sighed and slightly dropped his shoulder. "Forget it." he looked away and the older saw the nervousness
his brother is trying to hide. "I'm just so nervous... I just... I don't know."

"Shall I... help you release the tension?" Sungmin asked. Kyuhyun met his eyes and looked down for a while. He looked innocent when
Sungmin offered him help. It's not everyday when you will see Kyuhyun...evil Kyuhyun looking so helpless and innocent. Kyuhyun nodded
as if lost and is willing to trust anyone just to feel safe. Sungmin sighed gently. "Close your eyes." the older said.

Sungmin his lips for a while and breathe out lightly, taking the courage he needs. He raised up his hand slowly and...

Kyuhyun opened his eyes widely all of a sudden when he heard a crack sound and felt a sharp pain at the top of his head. He looked
at Sungmin sharply and straightened up as he touched his head.

"Yah! What did you just do?! Do you want me to have an internal bleeding?! What if I have a concussion and die right now?!" he said
as Sungmin smiled when he heard the younger's ranting. Apparently after breathing out, he used Kyuhyun's head to crack one of the
hard-boiled eggs making the magnae really shock.

"Is it really painful? Aren't you nervous anymore?" Sungmin chuckled and smiled widely. Kyuhyun was about to say something when he
noticed that his heart is not breating that crazily anymore. He looked at his brother and just shake his head. Whatever craziness
it is that Sungmin did, it sure helped. He needs to go now before the tension comes back.

"Yah!" Sungmin called. He walked towards the young and hand him the egg with the crack. The one he cracked on Kyuhyun's head.

"Take this. You'll be busy later and won't have any time to buy food. Don't faint before singing my song."

Kyuhyun just stared at him so Sungmin took his hand and placed the egg on it before going back to his cooking.

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

The auditorium seats are all occupied. Anticipation and excitement are all in the air, the musical is starting in 5minutes.
Kyuhyun tried to peek from the backstage. . Just . Why are there so many people? Where is Hyukjae? That cheapskate, he said
he's already inside
. Which part of the auditorium is he? He startled when he saw Professor Park behind him.

"In a while you won't be seeing them anymore." the Professor said gently while smiling. Does she know that Kyuhyun is nervous?

"Cho Kyuhyun," Professor Park called. "Breathe. You don't have any colour in your face. I'm going to kill you if you faint on
stage."

Kyuhyun smiled upon the joke his teacher said. He has lessen his nervousness. Still, where the heck is Hyukjae?!

Hyukjae was on one of the back seats of the stage. He wants to see his friend and witness the unevil side of Kyuhyun but oh well, he
doesn't really want to spend that much money on his friend. He looked around and was amazed that the school's convention hall is
over flowing with people. He swear he has never seen so many people inside this place before. The stage is set as the curtain slowly
moves up. He held on to the arm rest, Kyuhyun will becoming out soon.

Kyuhyun closed his eyes wanting to calm himself down. The stage manager is fixing his lapel and putting on a tape so it won't
drop. He suddenly felt a crisp pain at the top of his head. Was there he lump where Sungmin cracked that freaking egg? He thought.
He touched his head and suddenly opened his eyes, recalling what his silly hyung did to him, he has managed to calm down. He looked
in front and saw the curtain slowly coming up.

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

The musical has started and all the audience simply drooled upon Kyuhyun's appearance. They have never seen Kyuhyun that dazzling.
His hair is neatly semi-spooned up, shoes are shiny and elegant with his black suit worn sharply like that of a leader. His eyes
gentle and yet with determination. His confidence in walking around the stage wow-ed everyone seated. He is portraying his role
effectively. A convincing candidate for Precidency. He looked in front. Professor Park is right, when he's on
stage, he won't see anyone. Although come to think of it, he really won't see anyone. His dad is on his business trip, Sungmin is on
a date with his ing brother and Hyukjae... Where the hell is Hyukjae? How far is he from the stage?!

Kyuhyun couldn't worry about it anymore. He has his lines to worry about. He looked at the other person on stage and looked at him
in the eyes.

"What you gave up is only a small part.  It is the matter of ability for the second time with
the same misplay. I hope you won't disappoint people with your ability after going through these."

He looked in front and smiled as part of the script. He's doing well. The scenes are moving smoothly. Now it's his 3rd song.

[Dashi iruna nal gidaryuhjoon geudael bogo shipuh] I want to rise again and see you who waited for me
[Dashi doraga hago shipeun mal saranghabnida] I want to go back again to say I love you

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

Siwon is smiling widely as he sees Sungmin running towards him as he awaits in front of the car. "Ready?" he asked. Sungmin nodded
with a smile, slightly keeping teeth as he sits down in the car. He was still in his uniform as he was from school and just met Siwon
half way through the movie theatre.

"I've been waiting for this movie, I'm quite sure it'll be good." Siwon said. "Are the tickets with you?" he asked.

"Oh." Sungmin said digging his pocket and searching for the said ticket. His searching hand got it so he took it out in a pull.
He looked at it and crossed his eyebrows shortly when he saw another ticket in between their movie tickets.

Performance Arts Department Proudly Presents
The President [Musical]
Show Starts @ 8.30pm

He saw the ticket Kyuhyun gave to him for the musical and looked down. How is Kyuhyun doing? He checked on the digital clock
of the car. 7.45pm.

"I've heard my friends saying the movie is really good so I immediately reserved a ticket for us when it was released..."

Sungmin is not listening to Siwon. He's been thinking deeply about Kyuhyun. Choi Appa is gone for business trip with Lee Umma, he
is with Siwon watching a movie. He recalled the magnae's expression when he said he cannot come to see the musical as well. The
trying hard not to show disappointment kind of look, he still tried to act like he doesn't care. He also remembered Kyuhyun being
nervous this morning. Was his technique working on Kyuhyun? How is he doing?

Sungmin shook his head. What is he thinking about? He should just focus on Siwon, they'll be going out tonight and it's not like
he didn't agree to do it. But-

For once, he felt like he's doing a wrong thing. He wouldn't want to leave Siwon hanging, but there's a yearning in his heart to see
Kyuhyun in the musical. He doesn't just want to know how the magnae is doing. He needs to know. And even though a part of him tells
him to stay, he refused to listen and made the craziest decision...

"Siwon ah..." he said as he turned to Siwon. He bit his lips and hesitated at first but... "I... I'm sorry." Sungmin showed an
apologetic face. "I forgot that I need to do something." Why is he lying? He should tell this man that he wants and needs to see
Kyuhyun's performance. Well, he wouldn't care for now. Siwon drove to the side of the streets and looked at his hyung.

"I need to go." Sungmin said as he opened the door and didn't wait for Siwon to say anything anymore. He closed the door and looked
at his watch slowly before running away from the said car. Siwon looked down for a while and followed Sungmin with a sight. Could it
be? Is Sungmin going to-
He looked down, clenched his jaw and looked at Sungmin's fading back sharply.

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

Sungmin went out of the cab as soon as he pay the driver and ran towards the auditorium of the school. He was catching his
breath as he checks the time. 9.15pm. He's damn late. He went in front of the desk and saw Zhoumi.

"Zhoumi ah, can you let me in?" he said as he catches his breath, he showed the ticket that Kyuhyun passed him. Zhoumi stood up and
pouted.

"Hyung, you're so late, I can't let you in."

Sungmin sighed disappointedly as he held at the side of his stomach. He was running too fast and it actually sends a small twitch
in his abdomen. He shook his head and waited in front of the door. So he still fail to see Kyuhyun's performance, he's so useless.

"There will be a 30 min break after 5 mins, I'll let you in later." Zhoumi said as he smiles. Sungmin freed a wider smile and
nods.

"Thanks Mimi, you're an angel!" the tall lanky man gave him a wink and sat back on his chair.

Sungmin was surprised to see the auditorium's chairs all occupied. He couldn't dare sit down in the front seat even if his ticket
says so. He just stand up closed to the door and eyed on the stage. Woah~ This musical is indeed a success. He hasn't seen the
auditorium this alive. It was already in the final scene when Kyuhyun appears in the scene again. The leading lady enters the stage
as Kyuhyun was being cheered by the rest of his people.

The story line is about a person who has been very ambitious in leading the country, he gave up the love of his life and decided to
pursued a career in politics however the woman he got married to thought he just used her for the sake of her connection; through
the story, he has proven that he, indeed, loved his wife. And now he is running for President in the election.

On stage: the leading lady/ wife suddenly enters while Kyuhyun is being cheered by his colleagues. They are counting down the time
before the votation of the election starts.

"What are you wearing?" The leading lady, Kyuhyun's wife being Jang Il Joon, asked. Kyuhyun turned to her and waited for her
to answer. The lady brought out a red necktie and smiled.

"Red is the colour for kings." she smiled and Kyuhyun looked at her as she ties the necktie around him. He looked at the girl and
imagine Sungmin tying the red necktie around him. The audience felt Kyuhyun looking at his partner like that very romantic.

He smiled and the lights turned off and a spot light focused on Kyuhyun.

[Sumi chaoreuge ggeutggaji dalrinda] I'm breathlessly running until the end
[Kalgateun sirin barami gaseumeul ddaeryeodo] Even if the cold windc cuts me like a knife

The finale song has started. Sungmin held his breath and clasped his fingers together. Kyuhyun ah, you'll do well.

Sungmin smiled as he remembered the day he saw Kyuhyun actually standing on the small platform showing no expression as he introduces
himself for the audition.

[Sseureojyeo nunmulinalddaen] At times when I crash and cry
[ibseuleul ggaemulgo beotilge] I'll bite my lips and stand still
[Majimak gieokdoelsaram] because the last person to be remembered
[naega doeltenigga] Is me

Kyuhyun looked around the audience. Aside from Hyukjae whom he cannot see, he doesn't have anyone with him for support. He closed
his eyes shortly and recalled what Sungmin said that night when he caught the younger being frustrated as he cannot sing the song
properly.

'I always believe songs choose their singers not the other way around. This song chose you. Stop doubting yourself.' Just then he
remembered what Sungmin said this morning as well. 'Don't faint before singing
my song.' those eyes that looked at him with so much trust. Sungmin trust him. Sungmin trusts that he can sing this song.

Kyuhyun opened his eyes and thought for a while. This song chose me... Sungmin chose me to sing this song. Sungmin chose me.

[Sigyereul dolryeo geuddaero gandamyeon] If I go and turn back the clock to that time
[yaksokhae nigyeote namgetdago] I promise I won't leave your side
[Jjalbatdeon sarange gildeon geuriume] The long yearning in the short period of love
[holro namgyeodwoseo mianhae~] For leaving you, I'm sorry

Sungmin's mouth slowly opened as Kyuhyun stretches his hand in front. Hair all over the older's body raised as he heard Kyuhyun
singing the hardest part smoothly as if he didn't had a hard time on it before. Sungmin breathe out a bulk of air as he held his
chest and saw the audience standing up and clapping their hands even if the magnae is still singing. He had goosebumps even more,
the reception of this musical is definitely the best and with confettis falling on Kyuhyun's head on stage, everything looks
fantastic. Kyuhyun is fantastic.

Sungmin sighed with a smile widely while applausing.

 

 

 

 

"You did well, Kyuhyun ah..."
