Minderella and the Beast

 

Kyuhyun sighed frustratedly as he fixes Sungmin's tie. Why can't he even make a neat knot out of this?  He looked serious and is
concentrating in putting the other end to the hole that he made. "Do you even know how to wear your tux sharply?" he asked as he
shook his head. Sungmin just smiled childishly at him. Kyuhyun taking care of him like a good husband is not everyday, he must take
advantage of this.

The young man fixed his collar and dust off his shoulders. "There...that should be fine." he said as he check on Sungmin from head to
toe. A smile of his face. "How could you have such bad fashion and still look this dazzling?" he asked as if he is frustrated. He
shook his head as he admires the beauty in front of him.

"I'm born to be good looking." Sungmin said with a grin. Kyuhyun smiled even wider.

"Are you now?"

Sarcasm. It can be funny when Kyuhyun is being sarcastic at times. He help the younger to fix his fringe all the while Kyuhyun is
watching him. They looked at each other and would both chuckle shortly everytime their eyes will meet.

"Are you guys ready?"

They are already in the studio as instructed by Mr. Choi. And yes, they are in front of the set studio for them, with the photographer
busying himself in cleaning his lens. Lee Umma peeped with her veil on her head, shy to come out. She saw Sungmin fixing Kyuhyun's
hair, it is a sight to see. They look like real brothers taking care of each other. At least that's what she's trying to see.

"Umma~" Sungmin said as he walked towards his mom. Temporarily forgetting Kyuhyun's breath taking look in tux. "You're so beautiful!"
he said admiring his own mom. He led the old woman outside to reveal herself before everyone. He knows from a fact that his mom is
beautiful, but never did he had the chance to see his mom looking elegant and in such kind of clothes.

Lee Umma in a simple long white gown looking young and beautiful. Sungmin happily smiled at her. This is it. This will be the image
of his mom probably after the wedding. This is just the photoshoot but his heart felt for his mom. She must have been the prettiest
bride. He could have wish he has witnessed her mom's wedding with his dad. He bets his mom is overwhelming with much beauty back
then. Now, he knows why his late dad fell for his mom...and he can't blame Guy 12 for falling for her as well.

"Umma, you look dazzling!" Kyuhyun complimented from behind. "You shouldn't marry that old man! You should marry me instead."
Lee Umma hit him in the arm with the bouquet of flowers before smiling at him. "I bet Appa can't wait to be wed with you." the older
woman looked down and blushed. What else can she say, she too cannot believe she can still wear this clothes after marrying Sungmin's
father. Now she and Sungmin can finally be in a real family.

"Ok... I think I still look like Lee Byunghun with this." Choi Appa came out as elegant while fixing his necktie. He agaped his
mouth upon seeing his future wife in wedding gown. Even if he had seen Lee Umma in different angles, her beauty is still one of a
kind...especially now in her wedding gown. Lee Umma felt shy upon seeing the men in her life admiring her like that despite her age.
She could only look down and smile.

"Wow!" Choi Appa said. That was the only thing he could thought of because he was completely bedazzled by Lee Umma's beauty.

They were all instructed by the photographer to stay on the carpet with red background. There is a wooden chair in the middle and
their parents were asked to stay there. Choi Appa held on to his future wife and guide her to sit on the said chair. Sungmin stood
behind his mom's side while Kyuhyun at his dad's. They were all smiles as the camera flashes. Sungmin likes this. He feels like he
is in a real family, with a loving mom and a responsible dad...of course with a naughty brother that holds a special place in his
heart. A few shots in different angles and smiles. They look like a real family.

"Uhm, can the brothers move closer and lean forward to your parents?" the photographer asked. Sungmin looked at Kyuhyun with a smile.
He does likes this photoshoot. They both complied and moved closer in the middle and leaned closer behind their parents. Sungmin
used his right hand to hold on to his mom's shoulder.

"Alright..."

Sungmin was all smiles but it immediately disappeared when he felt Kyuhyun's hand holding his free hand. He turned to the younger
but its as if the magnae isn't doing anything. Kyuhyun is looking at the lens still smiling happily ready for the shot. He sighed
shortly and smiled in the camera. Slowly as the camera flashes different shots, Kyuhyun interlaced his fingers to Sungmin's. The
older's heart beats faster. This is literally sneaking behind their parents back, but its not like he doesn't like it. Kyuhyun's palm
is always warm against his, his fingers fit naturally with him. This is them holding each other's hand. There is a magical feeling
with a mixture of slight fear, anxiety and excitement. Sungmin bit his lips shortly before freeing another smile in front of the lens.
Their photos would show how happy they are...or how they will be as a family. But behind these shots, nobody will know how much
happier he will be to be in love with this younger brother of his.

He was asked to trust Kyuhyun. That's what he will do. He'll entrust everything to Kyuhyun. And since the magnae is holding his hand
now, he should show that trust to him. Sungmin held on to Kyuhyun tightly as he smile in front of the camera. Holding Kyuhyun's hand
is as enticing as kissing him. It feels like he can do anything with this hand on him. The feeling of fear and anxiety earlier
vanished and was replaced by excitement and anticipation. What does Kyuhyun have in mind? How will he tell their parents about
them being together? What will they do when they don't agree to this? Sungmin held Kyuhyun's hand tightly. He won't think to much.
He only needs to trust.

"Wow, I've never seen such perfect family." complimented the cameraman. "Mr. Choi, I'd like to display one of your shots in my studio
if you don't mind."

Kyuhyun looked at Sungmin who was smiling widely when their eyes met. He winked shortly at his hyung and smiled widely. The older
could just watch him like that. He doesn't know how the younger can be this fearless despite the presence of their parents but he
wouldn't care for now. He trusts Kyuhyun. And if there's only 2 months for them to be like this, he's quite sure he'd grab the chance
and make the most out of every second of it.

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

Donghae is already getting pissed with how sloppy Hyukjae is dancing these days. They're already counting days before d-day and yet
he's doing this to him. Noona will be back tomorrow and look how bad Hyukjae is doing during their rehearsals. He rolled his eyes
before making a tsk sound. How many times did this man made mistake from the same parts of the routine?

"Yah! Can't you do it better?" Donghae asked as he catches his breath. Hyukjae just looked at him shortly before turning away to get
his water. He sighed before drinking on the bottle and avoided Donghae's eyes.

What the heck is the matter with this guy? He's been like this since that day!

Yes, that day when he didn't answer Hyukjae's question. Why would he even choose between kissing and becoming his boyfriend just to
get even to the other guy? It doesn't make sense to him. Either way it'll be in Hyukjae's benefit. He won't be a fool to fall for the
trap. Besides, why would Hyukjae wants to be his boyfriend? I kissed you because I like you. Why did you kiss me? He kissed Hyukjae
because he doesn't know how to react to what the latter did. He can't accept the fact that he was kissed just like that. He can't
be bullied. An eye for an eye, a kiss for kiss!

"Stop sulking there and be mature. D-day is just around the corner. Can you stop being sloppy and dance well?!" Donghae said scolding.
He closed his eyes shortly, obviously pissed when Hyukjae turned his back on him and drank his water again. Tsch. Donghae doesn't
really have a long patience. "What is the matter with you?!"

"You want to know?" Hyukjae asked after drinking a bulk of water from the bottle. He wiped his mouth harshly with his arm.

"Yes. I want to know."

"It's all because of you."

"Me?"

"Yes. You! Who do you think you are?" Hyukjae said as he pointed. "You threaten me that you'll quit on noona and I asked you to just
get even with me but you didn't even answer. You just left like that leaving me hanging. You think I take that as a joke?!"

"You're sulking because of that?! What the heck am I standing here for if I'm quitting?! Can you stop being shallow, for goodness'
sake!" Donghae said raising one of his hand as a gesture to express his annoyance.

"I'm being shallow?" Hyukjae asked pointing to himself. "I'm being shallow?" he chuckled sarcastically. "I'm not the one who kissed
to get even. You wanted to quit the dance! Do you know how scared I was when you said that?! I'm holding myself responsible for what
I've done but you threatened to quit!"

"I'm still here! Did I quit?! I didn't!"

"That's exactly the point!" Hyukjae raised his voice even more. "Who knows if you'll quit on that day itself just to get back at me?!
What will Eunja noona do?! Why are you so selfish?!"

"I'm not selfish and you know what? You're getting out of the main point! Why would you even give me choices that would benefit only
you?! You're the one who's selfish!"

"Oh, only I will benefit?! Listen, Lee Donghae... Listen well!" Hyukjae pointed his index but the other guy shooed his pointing
finger down. "You kissed me when I kissed you because you want to get even. Don't you see the logic?! Why are you so stupid?! I
kissed you again so you can kiss me again. Why do you think I would want you to kiss me again?"

"I don't know!" Donghae said sarcastically. "Why would you want me to kiss you?!"

Hyukjae rested his palm on his face before letting them slide down out of frustration. Why is Donghae so stupid?!

"Aish~ I want you to kiss me so you can get even as well. I want you to be my boyfriend, not only because I like you but just so you
can get even! Do you think I'm selfish enough to only think that for myself?!" Yes, I am.

Donghae still doesn't see the logic in whatever Hyukjae said. It still doesn't make sense that he's doing it just so Donghae can get
even to him. The latter catching his breath after shouting.

"Did you just call me stupid?" Donghae asked, a little bit calm and still processing. After the long, loud speech that's the only
thing that he catch.

"Yes. Because you are stupid!" Hyukjae said after he drank another bulk of water.

"I'm not stupid!"

"Yes you are!"

"No, I'm not. You're the one who is stupid! I didn't even comprehend whatever the hell you said just now! There's no logical thing
in whatever you said at all!"

"Aish~ I like you! I kissed you because I like you! I want you to be my boyfriend because I like you! That's the logic in everything!
Why are such a stupid head?!" Hyukjae wanted to bang his head on the floor. Why is it hard for Donghae to understand such simple thing?
He's so frustrated!

"Why are you shouting at me?!"

Hyukjae breathe in and wanted to say something more but he just whispered under his nose. "Stupid."

"What?!"

Hyukjae chuckled, overly pissed at how Donghae stupidly respond to him. His mouth agape and his eyes closed shut. Why is this man so
dense?! He's made it clear the other day and now he has been repeating the words and he still cannot gasp the main point of this brainless
arguement.

"Yah..." Donghae called still wanting to continue the arguement.

"Which ing part of I like you don't you understand?! Do I have to spell out to you?!" Hyukjae shouted, like a child throwing tantrums about
a toy that he can't take back.

"I-" the other guy taken aback.

Donghae heard those for how many times already and it seems like it is the first time that it really did register to him. Did Hyukjae
said he likes Donghae?

"W-why do you like me?!" he asked, already having pink tints in his cheeks, voice a little softer but still in arguing tone.

"Because you're stupid as hell!" Hyukjae said as he walked towards one corner and sat there to calm down. Donghae just followed him
with a sight and leaned against the wall, one of his knees bent and raised behind the wall, hands in his pocket, now wondering why
Hyukjae like him if he is stupid as hell. Man, Hyukjae got big issues! He just watched the other in the corner keeping quiet.

Hyukjae likes him. What should he do? It's not the first time that he had an admirer but Hyukjae is the first person bold enough to
confess to him face to face...and for god's sake they were arguing while he's receiving the confession. And that guy is actually
pissed because of it. And he likes me because I'm stupid as hell. He turned to Hyukjae again, the latter looking away, still frowning.
They spent minutes in that place. Quiet and trying to calm down. Donghae needs to finish this arguement now, otherwise they'll be
wasting time instead of rehearsing.

Donghae sighed deeply and walked towards him. He stood in front of the squatting man.

"Shall we start rehearsing again?" Donghae asked, this time calmly. Hyukjae looked at him shortly and looked away like a child
sulking. The former sighed in front of him and placed his hands on his waist. Why is he the one consoling this child when he's not
even the one at fault. Why is the one raising the white flag when this man was the one who started this arguement anyway?
Now it's like he's the one who is going for Hyukjae. Tsk. He sighed again.

"Look, if that's what this is all about I can't answer now. Can you give me some time to consider? We have a concert to worry about.
Let's finish this first and then think it through."

Hyukjae looked up again, still looking like a child sulking but is already believing. "I'll think about it and tell you soon." Donghae
said still trying to convince the other.

Hyukjae supressed the small smile that is about to come out. He sighed and looked down. Maybe a little bit more sulking will do.

Donghae squat in front of him like a parent wanting to console a child in his tantrums. "Hyukjae ah, can you let me think about it?"
Why is he the one surrendering to this person? Donghae ah, think about the concert. Yeah, that's right. He needs to lower his pride
so they can start rehearsing again.

Hyukjae looked at him and breathe out. "I want my answer after the dance concert."

Donghae mentally rolled his eyes, why is he suddenly dealing with a toddler? Patience, Hae... Patience. "Fine. I'll tell you after
the concert. Shall we rehearse now?"

Oh this is good. So sulking really does have magic. Hyukjae stood up and went to the music player. The other man just stood up and
followed. Such a child. Tsch! He raised his fist doing a fake punch behind Hyukjae's back, when the latter turned, Donghae showed an
overly fake smile. He sneakily rolled his eyes when the other turned again.

Hyukjae was mentally keeping his smirk to himself. He still has to pretend that he's not happy although there are some fireworks
about to burst inside him. Donghae didn't give him the answer now. He could have said no if he wants to but he didn't. He'll consider
a yes for either a kiss or better...be his boyfriend. Either way he'll have what he wants. Although he wishes for the last option
more.

"Can we start again from the top?" Donghae asked gently as if still dealing with a child. Hyukjae pressed play and started dancing
still trying to avoid the former's eyes.

"Can you stop frowning now, this is supposed to be a romatic song. At least show me a better expression."

Oh, now Donghae wants him to cheer up? This is great. Hyukjae sighed and forced a smile in front of the other guy. Donghae chuckled
for seeing this man being a child.

"Stop laughing~!" Hyukjae complained.

Tsch. Donghae bit both of his lips to stop laughing. Hyukjae watched the other complying to him. He showed a small smirk before dancing
again. Hyukjae ah, you're such a good dancer...but you definitely deserve an award from grammy!


Oh yes! Sulking is officially a virtue!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's note: I know, I know, whatever Hyukjae
said doesn't make sense to me as well. but oh well~


hmm, i know this is an old
song but I just can't get over Onew's voice in
one year later hahaha. What's wrong with me?
i'm not even a shinee fan.

PS: i love Sungmin's look in MAMA...he's so
stunning, he's so pretty, he's just so...i don't know
