"Kyuhyun really slept beside you?" Donghae asked. Sungmin nodded uninterestedly. "Hyung...what kind of life do you have?" his
dongsaeng asked making the older sigh.

"Miserable." he shook his head. "Its enough that the person I've been fantasizing is my new brother..." he rested his head on
his arms. "why does Kyuhyun have to be my brother as well?!" his voice like crying.

"Why don't you tell your mom to stay away from my dad?"

Out of nowhere, Kyuhyun appeared like a ghost in front of them making both Donghae and Sungmin have the creeps. Where does this
guy come from anyway? But yeah, why not just ask his mom to go back to their old house, find another guy but...

Sungmin had never seen his mom that happy; she's been dating other guys before but she's never this happy, so what right does he have
to stop the best mom from being happy?

"I'm not going to do that." Sungmin said while looking down. "Umma has never been this happy."

"Suit yourself then." Kyuhyun said while smirking at him. "I can't wait to see you begging me for life."

Donghae just sat there and wonder what he is seeing; Kyuhyun looking at Sungmin that way... it's something. He maybe smirking and
creepy but... it's something.

Sungmin stood up tapping the table hard. He had enough of Cho Kyuhyun. He is older than him and no matter what, he shouldn't be
bullied by this person! He is determined to fight back. Donghae was surprised when he saw Sungmin standing up and looking sharply at
Kyuhyun.

"I won't do that. What exactly do you want?" Sungmin asked. "You want me to apologize for what I did? Fine. I'm sorry."

Kyuhyun pouted his lips and shook his head. "That's not enough. I told you, you'll be begging me."

Sungmin sighed and closed his eyes shortly. "What else do you want me to do?" hopeless. How can he ever escape Kyuhyun? It feels like
he's walking inside the young man's shadow. He has no escape. Kyuhyun's shadow is on him. Sungmin can see him in school, in his house,
and the thought that he just spent a night in the older's own room.

Kyuhyun rested his elbow on the table and looked at his palm while closing it to a fist and opening it again and looking at its front
and back. He stared back at Sungmin and smile. "I want to get even."

Sungmin chuckled. "Fine. One is enough, right?"

Kyuhyun smiled at him as if saying he nailed it. Donghae swallowed and panicked. "Hyung!" He thinks this whole thing is crazy and
Sungmin is even crazier because he's looking for some bodyaches. Is it worth the risk? What the hell is this stubborn young man
wants from his hyung?!

"It's ok." Sungmin said turning to Donghae shortly and then to the younger man. "As long as he doesn't bother me anymore."

Kyuhyun stood up, took his bag and turned his back on both men. "Follow me." he told Sungmin and didn't wait for him to
make a move. Kyuhyun smirked while walking. Sungmin sighed first before he started walking.

"Hyung!" Donghae called wanting to stop.

"I'll be fine, Donghae ah... go back to class." Sungmin said with a slight smile and followed Kyuhyun.

Sungmin is scared. He really is. But he'd rather accept that punishment no matter how hard it is just so Kyuhyun can stop bothering him.
What is losing a tooth or 2 when he can live in peace even with the younger man staying in the same roof with him. He'd be
willing to take that risk.

Kyuhyun stopped at an empty corner of the school and turned to Sungmin. "This is it. Are you ready?"

"After this, you'll stay away from me and let me live peacefully?" Sungmin asked in return. Kyuhyun closed
his eyes and nodded once. "Alright, do it."

Kyuhyun slowly closed his hand to fist. He raised it up and breathe on it shortly and looked at Sungmin who is watching his
rituals. Sungmin swallowed when he saw Kyuhyun's big fist, he is already assuming that he'll lose at least 2 teeth with the
force of that fist but he wouldn't care anymore. He saw Kyuhyun raising his closed fist near his face making sure it'll hurt
a lot when it lands on his face.

"Yah." Kyuhyun said. Sungmin looked at him anxiously. "Close your eyes." The older swallowed first and shut his eyes hard.
Eyebrows are crossed and lips closed tightly. Kyuhyun smirked at the face in front of him. Sungmin is scared and is beautiful despite
this. The younger breathe in deeply and tighten the grip of his fist aimed at Sungmin's face...

It landed.

Strangely, Sungmin didn't feel the pain, maybe he immediately passed out. Maybe he fainted after the punch. But there was a strange
electricity running around his body. Is it possible that Kyuhyun's knuckles have some kind of electric
charge or something? He's supposed to fall down on the floor but he knows he's on his feet, although his knees are feeling a little
jello. Shouldn't he be lying down? or at least he should have moved backwards but he felt like his body was forced to move forward.
What has happened?

Sungmin opened his eyes widely when he realised what has landed. It's not the knuckles but Kyuhyun's lips landed on Sungmin's closed
lips. Because his eyes is closed, he didn't see Kyuhyun opening his palm and grabbing the back of his neck, pulling him closer to the
young man and catching his lips...and now his knees are feeling jello.

Kyuhyun's mouth is moving around Sungmin's lips; inviting him to open his tightly closed mouth. Sungmin refused
to but the younger didn't mind. He continued tasting Sungmin's lips and making sure he'll not miss even a little skin from it.

Sungmin finally get into his senses and pushed Kyuhyun away. He held his lips at the back of his hand and looked at the younger
man, eyes are big and being teary because of what has happened. "What the heck was that?!" he shouted. His breathing is uneven due to
anger.

"I just thought I don't want to get even." Kyuhyun leaned closer to Sungmin. "I've marked you.' he smirked shortly. "You're
mine, Sungmin ah..."

Sungmin pushed him hardly before walking away. He was so furious that he didn't even mind looking back and just bowed down when some
random students bumped into him. Kyuhyun crossed his eyebrows quickly and followed him with a sight. He looked down
for a while before looking back at Sungmin's disappearing back. Did he just see a tear falling from those eyes?

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

Donghae looked at Sungmin's desk and wondered why his friend didn't attend the class. Is he still alive after being punched by
Kyuhyun? Wait, was he punched after all? He thinks he saw some kind of admiration in the way Kyuhyun looks at his hyung. Maybe he
should warn Sungmin. Maybe he should tell him that maybe Kyuhyun likes him. But their probably in a stupid arguement again.
He took out his phone and called his friend but there was no answer.

Sungmin knows he shouldn't take it seriously. It's just a skin being forced to be touched by another skin, as simple as that, but he
can't get himself not to cry. It was his first kiss and Kyuhyun just take it away easily. His eyes are in pain as he closed it hard
letting more set of tears to fall. He sniffed and even freed some loud sobs as he wipe his eyes with his hand. He shouldn't be like
this. He shouldn't be like a little girl crying as if she lost something precious.

But anyone's first kiss is precious. Rotten Cho! He wiped his lips hardly wishing for the lingering taste to disappear but it's not
quite easy. He always thinks first kiss is something that would always linger around the lips...for a long time. He hates the fact
that Kyuhyun's kiss might linger around his lips for a long time.

He stood up when he calmed a little and started walking home.

He continuously walked and was surprised to see himself in front of their old crappy house. He looked down and sighed. He doesn't
want to get used to going home to their new house. He doesn't want to get used to seeing Kyuhyun making fun of him everywhere
he goes. Sungmin sighed deeply and turned his back from the house lazily.

"Finally, you realised that you're going the wrong way home."

Sungmin was surprised to see Siwon when he turned his back. Why is he here? Siwon freed a smile and walked towards him. "I wanted
to ask you to go home together but you seemed to be thinking something deeply."

Siwon looked at Sungmin waiting for him to answer or at least say something but the older just look down.

"Hyung..."

He met Siwon's eyes. Why is Siwon smiling so handsomely? What does Siwon thinks of them being stepbrothers? Why is he standing in front
of Sungmin? Although he comfortably say that he rejected the older because they will be step siblings soon, does that mean Siwon
might be sharing the same feelings as him?

Siwon looked at Sungmin's hand and hold it and started walking, pulling the older man behind him. Siwon's hand is big, it immediately
enveloped the whole of Sungmin's hand. It is a nice feeling, he had always wanted to be held by the younger man like this. But-

"It's ok if you don't want to talk but I'm getting hungrier so I want to go home now." he said. Sungmin stopped from walking
and called him.

"Siwon ah..."

Siwon turned to him. He saw what happened earlier. He saw what Kyuhyun did to Sungmin. He didn't like it. What Kyuhyun
did today is just too blant and out of the line. He saw Sungmin cried a while ago near the rooftop of their school and he
didn't like it as well. He doesn't know why but he just didn't like the thought that Kyuhyun just made Sungmin cry like that. He doesn't
like the thought that Kyuhyun kissed Sungmin just like that. He seriously doesn't like it when Kyuhyun is too close to Sungmin just
like that. He knows Sungmin should be treated better than this.

Afterall, Sungmin should be under their care now since he's part of the family. Yeah, that's what Siwon is thinking. Sungmin is already
part of the family so he must take care of their new hyung. Sungmin is quite interesting and he wouldn't mind knowing this smaller
hyung more... because...because... he mentally sighed and reminded himself his own reason... Sungmin is part of the family now.

He smiled gently. "Hyung, let's go home. I'm really very hungry." he said, touching his stomach hoping he did an aegyo
effectively. Sungmin smiled finally making Siwon smile wider.

"You smiled?" he said. He showed a yes fist and smiled even wider. "Lee Umma said you can cook very well, since I made you smile, you
have to cook for me tonight, ok?"

Sungmin just smiled and nodded as they started walking back. He looked at Siwon's tall figure. He is his first love, the first
one he has ever confessed to, but Siwon knows better he should reject him. Sungmin doesn't know why but he felt better because
of this warm presence of Siwon. Being rejected by him doesn't define as being ignored, right? He feels glad that this young
man is treating him warmly like that of a real brother. Maybe it was a mistake for him to have confessed to this man before. Maybe
Siwon's choice to reject him was for the best. Maybe his relationship with Siwon would be better off as being his brother.

Yeah, they're better off as brothers. He should move on. Forget the thought of loving Siwon as who he is. Right now, the person who
stands beside him is his future brother. Even though deep in his heart... Siwon will always be his first love. Always.

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

Kyuhyun sighed as he rest on his arm chair inside his room. He cannot sleep because he cannot remove the image of his older
brother shedding tears a while ago. He is quite bothered. He does like bullying Sungmin; it's one of the things that can get
the older's attention. He likes getting Sungmin's attention.

But a while ago... a while ago...
