**********************POV some time before the concert starts*************************

Lee Umma and Kyuhyun are together in the audience's seats, they looked forward to Sungmin's performance today. They
were both worried when they find out about the injury but Sungmin has a very fast recovery. Was it the medicine?
Was it the food? Or was it the 100 kiss? Kyuhyun cannot figure out which one made his hyung better but as long as
he's fine... then that's all that matters.

"Kyuhyun ah, do you think we can go to the back stage and check on Ming?" Lee Umma asked. This is the first time
she’ll see Sungmin perform; she doesn’t know why her son didn’t want her to come for his performance last year so
right now is the chance to see him on stage. The magnae smiled at her. Umma is such a mind reader.

"I'm thinking of the same thing, Umma. Shall we cheer hyung up?"

"Can we go? Will they let us in?"

"I think anybody who knows Cho Kyuhyun being the son of the president of this school can already let us pass."
Lee Umma smiled and started moving towards the backstage. There they saw Sungmin inside one of the dressing room,
already wearing his Ne-yo hat and his studded suspenders. He was walking around as Chaerin already went under the
passage through the stage. He's wondering how his performance will be. He turned to the door and saw his mom and
Kyuhyun. "Umma~!" he called excitedly as he ran towards them. Oh Kyuhyun's powers! He definitely wants to see his
mom before going on stage. It's a good thing he's there to accompany the older's mom. He smiled widely as he
welcomed them.

Lee Umma smiled and looked at her son from head to toe. "Woah~ our Sungmin is getting more and more handsome, don't
you think so, magnae?" Sungmin smiled at his mom with his bunny teeth, his number 1 fan. He likes the thought that
he can finally invite his mom to watch him. He wouldn't dare invite her last year because...well, practically he
was stripped half and became a fiest for older women at that time. How the hell would his mom react to that?
It's either she'll faint or grab those noonas' hair on stage. He eyed on the younger.

Sungmin turned to Kyuhyun and saw the admiration in his eyes. Although this isn't the right place where he should
look at the older that way, Sungmin is glad that Kyuhyun is pleased with how he looks right now. The younger didn't
use any words of praise anymore, he just used his eyes to say everything. He thinks Sungmin knows the answer pretty
well. He loves Sungmin’s looks, no matter how glittery his suspenders are, no matter how boyish, no matter how
manly he is, no matter how catching he will be on stage. It’s Sungmin we’re talking about here. Which part of him
actually doesn’t look gorgeous?

"When will you come out on stage?" Lee Umma asked.

"I'll be out after the fifth performance. You cannot sleep before that, oh?!"

Lee Umma nodded and hugged her son. She is proud of Sungmin. Even though she hasn’t seen him perform before, she’s
quite sure her son is hard working enough to do well. She knows Sungmin wouldn’t be here if he’s not at his best.
She swears she looks forward to this. She swears she'll scream for Sungmin like those fan girls she sees on TV. She
would want to cling to her son more, but Sungmin is already an adult. And wouldn't it be embarassing if she will
make him cling to her in front of the magnae? She just smiled and fixed his hair for a bit.

"Alright, I'll see you later. Give us a good show, ok?"

"Thanks Umma." he hugged his mom for the last time. "Don't scream too much on my performance!" he said naughtily
earning him a soft hit on his arm. He chuckled and off she and Kyuhyun went out of the room.

When they were out of the room, Kyuhyun tapped Umma on her shoulder. "Umma, can I check on Hyukjae first? He'll be
performing too."

"Oh. Then, I'll go to our seat first."

"Do you know the way? Do you want me to send you there first?"

"Yah, I'm not that old yet!" Lee Umma said hitting his arm lightly. Kyuhyun smiled upon his stepmom's reaction.

"Alright, then... I'll see you in a while."

Lee Umma waved her hand shortly and started walking towards the same direction they had earlier while Kyuhyun
turned his back and walk for at least five steps. He stopped and turned again and immediately walked back, he
turned the knob of Sungmin’s dressing room and sneakily went it.

"What the- I thought you're with Umma?" Sungmin said. Kyuhyun smiled at him making the older feel weirded. He
smiled like that when he's thinking of something err... naughty. He walked towards the older who is sitting at the
edge of the beauty table.

"How's your ankle?"

"What are you talking about? I've recovered two days ago. Where’s Umma?"

"I send her off for a while since I want to cheer you more privately."

Kyuhyun chuckled when he saw Sungmin pouting in defense to his answer. He walked closer and stood in between
Sungmin's legs and fixed his collar and tightened the necktie, his eyes looking intensely at the knot. There's only
one angel who's this beautiful in his eyes.

"You should wear these kinds of clothes at home." Kyuhyun said while nodding. Sungmin checked on his clothes. Why
the hell would he wear such tight fitting white shirt and pants at home? He's not crazy. The shape of his small
figure is just too obvious with this. And why would this magnae want to see him in this type of clothing?! Kyuhyun
leaned forward and whisper... "If not then wear the one from last year." the older turned to him and blush. That
was seethrough black clothes! How... embarassing will it be for him to use it at home?! This magnae! And he
actually keeps accusing Sungmin of being a ert. He slightly hit Kyuhyun's arm.

"Stop kidding me-"

Sungmin swallowed his words when Kyuhyun pressed his lips right when he opened his mouth to speak. Both thumbs on
the older's jaw and palms are lightly pressed at the back of his hair. Kyuhyun didn't have to wait long before his
hyung rested his warm hands on his chest lightly and tilted his head to let him play inside his mouth more. Kyuhyun
could just taste the strawberry gloss in his hyung’s lips. Honestly, he’s not complaining. He needs to note that
Sungmin has to retouch it before going on stage.

"Don't flirt too much on stage today, ok?" Kyuhyun whispered gently earning a light chuckle from the Sungmin. He
eyed on the younger and nodded and shortly let his hands rest on Kyuhyun's shoulders. This is fun. His younger
brother coming back to cheer him like this, it’s really sweet and thoughtful although, he has to remind himself to
get some gloss again before standing on stage.

"I'll be a good boy so can I have another one?" he asked Kyuhyun sheepishly. The younger chuckled and by all means,
oblige to his brother's request, making sure his hands are securely on their place so as not to crease the neatly
pressed shirt or harm the lapel mic that is sticked on the older's cheek and is slightly closed to the side of his
mouth. Sungmin's hand having their journey back to the latter's chest.

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

"Aigoo~ I should have asked Kyuhyun to take a picture of us!" Lee Umma exclaimed as she reach the corner from the
dressing room. She immediately walked back towards as she digs out her camera. She gently opened the door and
halted half way at what welcomed her eyes. She froze right then and slightly agaped. Sungmin leaning his
against the beauty table, and a man holding on his head. Her son's hand on the latter's shoulders now.

So Sungmin does have a lover. At some point, she did suspect about it because her son would always go home with a
sunshine smile. Often times, he will hum silly songs while cooking or cleaning the house, often times she will see
him day dreaming while mopping the floor. So her son does have a lover. And they have reach the intimacy of kissing
on the lips. She looked down shortly. Maybe she should let them know her presence, maybe this boy...whoever he is
should already be introduced to her. This little bunny, you're already keeping secrets huh?! Umma pouted cheekily
for a while.

"Can I have another one?" she heard her son asking. It was only when their lips locked again that Umma notice the
side of the face of the person her precious son is kissing. She swallowed and her playful pout slowly disappeared.
Sungmin's arms on Kyuhyun's shoulder when they separate and their forehead against each other. What in the world is
she seeing? Her hands shook and almost dropped the small camera but she kept her palms tight.

Impossible. She's not seeing this. Sungmin clinging to Kyuhyun like this while kissing. Sungmin asked Kyuhyun to
kiss him. Can I have another one? Was that the second kiss? Or how many kisses have they been sharing? Sungmin ah,
he's your brother. She swallowed and closed the door quietly. It shouldn't be right. Kyuhyun told her he'll see his
friend first. Kyuhyun lied to her. He went back to share a kiss with her son. Kyuhyun came back to share a kiss
with is future brother. She closed her eyes shortly trying to grasp the situation. Her son and her future husband's
son, they're having an affair. She felt her eyes heavy but she blinked and cleared her
mind. She recalled her conversation with Sungmin last time.

"Does Kyuhyun have a boyfriend?"

"I-I don't know."

Thinking about it, Sungmin suddenly became pale and couldn't look at her. His mouth agaped and is avoiding her eyes.
"Sungmin..." she called. Her looks, still confused and overwhelmed. "you've been lying to me."

Sungmin clearly said he doesn't know that Kyuhyun has a boyfriend but what is this? How long have they been doing
this behind their backs? Does anybody know? Sungmin promised her that she'll be the first one to know if he has
someone special. It was fine if he kept it a secret. But dating Cho Kyuhyun... her mind was so open with the thought
that they've became close in such a short period of time, she ignored the occassional hugs because she welcomed
their closeness immediately. But she didn't come across the thought that they are probably in this kind of
relationship. Don't they realise they'll be brothers in a few weeks time? What are they doing? Lee Umma felt light
headed with endless thoughts. Her son is kissing his future brother. What about the wedding? She'll be marrying
Kyuhyun's father in a matter of weeks. How will they deal with this? Will they continue sneaking
behind their backs or...?

Lee Umma shook her head. She needed to hold on to the wall because she was weakened by what she witnessed. Is
Sungmin and Kyuhyun planning to stall the wedding?

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

Sungmin and Kyuhyun separated with a content smile. "Make sure you won't be too close to Chaerin or she'll get it."

Sungmin chuckled and nodded as Kyuhyun straightened up and walked towards the door. He turned his back to the older
who is watching him leave. He waved his hand and winked before closing the door.

Ah his heart! Sungmin held on to his chest because it's beating crazily. He's overwhelmed with Kyuhyun's sweetness.
He swears he'll showoff a lot today. Not only because his mom will be watching but because right now there is a
certain magnae who cheered for him in the most heart-flippingly sweet way.

Kyuhyun wondered why Lee Umma was not yet on their seat when he came back. Was she lost? He looked around shortly
and stood up planning to look for her but the old woman suddenly appeared in front of him. He smiled with relief.

"Umma, where have you been? I thought you lost your way." he asked innocently but with a relieved smile. But of
course, Lee Umma is under his care while she's in this crowded place.

"I-I've been to the ladies." Lee Umma said. Her voice not as energetic as earlier. Was she fine? She must be
overwhelmed with the loud speakers. Afterall, she's not getting any younger. Kyuhyun ignored the thought that
maybe his stepmom is sick because Sungmin will be coming out soon.

The lights were dimmed and there Sungmin stood in the middle of the stage. There goes the loud cheer. Kyuhyun felt
proud as to see people screaming at Sungmin's presence; it should probably the same as last year. And he expects
people to faint because of what he did that time. Scream your lungs out, that person belongs to me.

[Cause you're so one in a million]
[You are, baby you're the best I ever had]
[Best I ever had, and I'm certain that]

Kyuhyun smirked upon seeing Sungmin's teasing smirk. Did he learn that from the younger? And look at those playful
stares as if he has been naughty all his life. He eventually gave up on the hat and throw it away and let his
fringe bounce up and down. Kyuhyun likes this even more. Look at the confidence he has while walking and playing
with those suspenders. Ah, he likes the view from behind. He swear to plant some kisses there soon. Oh here comes
the witch!

Chaerin came out from the hole and looked at Sungmin intensely. He touched her waist and this girl touched his face
just like that. Kyuhyun's eyes glared a bit. He swears to count how many contact did Sungmin had with this girl, he
swears she'll get it and she'll definitely will. She'll be facing a wrath that belongs to Cho Kyuhyun. However,
Kyuhyun has lost his count as he enjoys every single step that Sungmin does on stage. He likes the way he holds
Chaerin, he likes how he ran after her, he likes the way his hyung touched that girl's face. He likes- no wait,
this... he cannot forgive this! Sungmin smirked and waved his body against Chaerin girl and end
the performance with a kiss?! Huh, Lee Sungmin! Don't you have enough kisses just now?!

Lee Umma watched Kyuhyun watched her son. Kyuhyun has always been the playful magnae. How playful is he to invite
Sungmin to play with him like this? Somehow she knows Sungmin wouldn't initiate this relationship, she knows her
son too well. She looked down. Or maybe not. Sungmin has fallen in love and she's not even aware of it. Maybe she
doesn't really know her own son that much. Dear husband, have you not been watching over Sungmin? Is this your
punishment for my second marriage? They'll be brothers soon. Why did Sungmin do this? He has always in the right
thinking. A smart, sensitive boy, Sungmin knows this isn't right. Lee Umma has nothing against her son's preference
but this is really wrong. Why of all people, would he risk a relationship with his future stepbrother? She has nothing
against Kyuhyun too even though she has never seen the magnae being serious; he's always like this; playful, carefree.
But after the wedding they will be legal brothers in the eyes of everyone. Lee Umma looked down. Did her son really fall for
him? Why wouldn't Sungmin tell her about this? Why is he hiding it? Lee Umma knows Sungmin's weakness... he would
never lie to her.

"I-I don't know"

Those denying guilty look from Sungmin stings her heart. Sungmin lied to her. It was the first time since her son
was young. He has never lied about anything from her. She sighed heavily and rested her eyes. What are they
thinking about? Are they planning to stall the wedding? Does Sungmin hate her dating that much? But Sungmin has
always been the kind hearted type. Does he not like Guy 12? Or does he hate his mom for loving someone else other
than his dad?

"Umma~" her thoughts break when Kyuhyun called her. She looked up the stage and Sungmin isn't there anymore. "Did
you see hyung flirting with that hag earlier?!" he smiled proudly. "Hyung was really good. He's born to be on stage."

Her lips trembled, she cannot look at Kyuhyun's eyes. Not after what she saw. Kyuhyun kissing her son has never
been possible in her thoughts. When did they start this? Why are they doing this and what makes them think she'll
be fine with it? Where in goodness' hand did Kyuhyun get the confidence to do something like this? And where is
pete's name did Sungmin take the courage to do this behind her back? What if Guy 12 finds out about this? He'll
definitely hate Sungmin.

Lee Umma didn't bother watching anymore. Her thoughts are too occupied. She needs to ask Sungmin about this.

**************************END OF POV*****************************
 

Lee Umma let the night pass since she knows how tired Sungmin is from the performance. Maybe she'll ask him
tomorrow. She was tossing and turning on the bed. How can she take off that scene from her mind. She sat up and
went out of the room. She walked towards Sungmin's room and tried to listen by leaning on the door.

"You were great back there." she heard Kyuhyun's voice. "Although, I could have sworn to have Chaerin's head on a
plate because of the ending part."

"But that was a nice ending. Chaerin noona and I agreed to do it."

"You know I'm the jealous type. And since you gave her a fake one, I deserve to have a real one."

"You're so childish~"

"I'm quite sure that's one of the reasons why you like me."

She heard a soft chuckle and then there was silence and Lee Umma is already assuming of what miracle is going on
inside the room. So it is really true. So everything is really true. Sungmin is in a relationship with Kyuhyun.
When did it started? How did it become like this? Why didn't Sungmin tell her about this? She has asked this
question for a number of times but she won't get tired asking this until she finds out the answer.

If he tells this earlier, she could have been open minded and let them be together instead of her marrying
Kyuhyun's dad but not now, not when they are just counting the days before the wedding. Why does it
have to be her future husband's son? She swears to consult Sungmin on this first thing tomorrow morning.

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

At home, Lee Umma was helping Sungmin to dust off the jars around the house. She watched her son as he hums around
and squats to make sure all the dusts have been taken off. He looks innocent like this... but she now knows he
isn't.

"Sungmin ah..."

Sungmin turned to his mom with an innocent pair of eyes. "hmm?"

"Do you..." she started. "Do you have someone special?"

"Umma... what are you talking about?" Sungmin chuckled and turned his back before crossing his eyebrows shortly.
There goes her questions again. Why does she need to ask this to him again?! Calm down, Ming. Umma is just playing
a trap.

"Well..." Umma breathe in and looked far. "Is there something going on between you and Kyuhyun?" she eyed on her son
shortly.

. There goes that question again. He swallowed. Kyuhyun ah... he unconsciously slightly parted his lips to
breathe from there. Calm down, Ming. Sungmin looked at him mom and chuckled awkwardly. What is his mom saying? She
must be playing again. Yes, she's just playing...just like the last time. He won't fall for the trap anymore.
Kyuhyun asked him to believe in himself and keep it well first. The magnae will know  what to do and Sungmin
entrusts him everything.

"N-nothing." he smiled. "Umma why would you think of that?" he smiled and shook his head. He looked away and
breathe in from his mouth again. His mom can be playful at times. He pretended to be a bit weirded about the
question although he still can't let go of the thought that he is lying to his mom. This isn't the first time
he lied to his mom. He already did when she asked about Kyuhyun's boyfriend before. This won't be that bad. It's
going to be fine. Everything will be fine.

Lee Umma closed her hand to fist. Sungmin is lying to her. Just look at the way he breathes and she'll know Sungmin
is lying. He may not notice it but he is stopping his breath every now and then. He will agape his mouth and will
breathe from there. She knows he is lying. All because of his relationship with Kyuhyun, Sungmin learned to lie to
her. If he told her the truth, it can lessen the pain she's having in her chest but Sungmin chose to lie to her.

She closed her eyes and breathe in deeply before letting her palm land on Sungmin's face. The crisp pain in her
palm is nothing. But the sting in her heart kills her. She has never laid her hands on Sungmin like this. She has
been hitting Sungmin but not because of this- not because of disappointment. Sungmin disappointed her by lying.
She hurt her son for real and even if she regrets it, she's not sorry.

Sungmin was shocked upon receiving his mom's palm. His cheek reddened and felt numb. Why did his mom hit him like
that? He held on to his cheek and looked innocently... "Umma~"

"You still dare to lie, look at the way you're breathing..." his mom low but stern and hard. "When are you
planning to tell me about this?! If I didn't see the two of you kissing backstage, I wouldn't have known about
this! How long have you been lying to me? Why didn't you tell me about this?!" Lee Umma raised her voice upon the
last question. Her tears starting to form around her eyes.

Sungmin dropped his heart on the floor. His mom caught them kissing. He was caught lying. The most dreadful day of
his life has come...and Kyuhyun is not by his side to help him think through. What should he do? If the pain in
his cheek measures Lee Umma's disappointment, he's quite sure that he has disappointed the old woman very much. He
looked at his mom. Big and terrified eyes as he thinks of what to say. "U-umma~" his voice with panic.

"How can you do this to me?" Lee Umma pointed to herself. "The least thing you can do for me is to hide the truth!
But no... You even lie to me about this...in my face!" she closed her eyes shortly and tried to calm down. "Why,
of all people, does it have to be Kyuhyun? He will be your brother, for goodness' sake!" his mom looks helpless,
disappointed.

"U-umma~" he looked down. Other than calling his mom, what else can he do? He was lost his confidence the moment he
find out that his mom knows about them. This is it. The end of him and Kyuhyun. "Umma~ I'm so sorry." he looked
down and tears just started blurring his eyes. He's sorry for lying to his mom. He's sorry for hiding it from her.
"I-I didn't mean to lie... I-"

"Sungmin ah, do you hate Umma this much? Don't you want me to re-marry? You should have told me earlier..." how
can he tell her not to re-marry? She has never been this happy for a long time. He looked down. His answer hangs
in his head. He doesn't want his mom to be lonely so even if he's against this, he kept his silence. Lee Umma
breathe out heavily and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"No, Umma~ I-" he said wanting to console his saddened mother.

"Pack your things. We're going back to the old house." Sungmin straightened up and looked at his mom. Why is she
leaving as well? If there's someone who should leave, it should just be him. He'll break up with Kyuhyun and leave
this place. He'll forget about his beloved magnae. His mom will stay here and will be under Mr. Choi's care. She'll
have a good marriage and she'll continue being happy with her new family. It should only be him who should leave. Afterall,
he's the only one who shouldn't belong here. Her mom doesn't deserve this suffering.

"If it's like this, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with this family." Lee Umma said, eyes pouring out excess water.

But her wedding... "we can't have both, Sungmin ah... I won't let you be his brother if its like this. So let's
just go back to our old life."

"Umma~" he looked down. What should he do? Even his mom would break up with Mr. Choi because of this. His mom will be sad
again...all because of him. Her mom would want to leave this place for him. He swallowed. What should he do? We can't have
both.

Kyuhyun ah... come home quickly.
