success due to failure

Minderella and the Beast

Sungmin was free that Thursday so he took his time preparing breakfast for the family. He was busy slicing the fruits for that
morning when he saw Kyuhyun raiding the fridge. He remembered Kyuhyun in the audition and cannot stop himself not to bring up
the topic. He remembered what Zhoumi said after the audition.

"He's such a bastard." the lanky tall man said. "Fine, he has the voice and the character fits him well but he's really arrogant."

"So did he take it?" Sungmin asked curiously.

Zhoumi rolled his eyes and said "You know what he said? He said he'll think about it. Who does he think he is?! Just because he's the
son of the President." The tall man rolled his eyes yet again. "If that's Siwon, I'm quite sure he'll simply take it."

But Kyuhyun is not Siwon. Sungmin has already learned their differences from the time he failed on his confession. Siwon is gentle
and caring and mature. Kyuhyun is playful and creepy and childish. He likes the first one more, but the other side of Kyuhyun that
he saw while singing deserves acknowledgement as well.

"Sungmin hyung, you're living with the Choi's, aren't you? Do you think you can convince him? I mean... Professor Park really wants
him to be in and if he doesn't take the role..." he sighed frustratedly first. "They might not pursue the musical at all."

Sungmin watches Kyuhyun as he pour some milk in his glass and thought for a while. He's not quite interested in this year's musical but
he still wrote the finale song. A simple song can just be a simple part of the musical but his song is the chosen finale song, The
grandest song among all the songs lined up for the play. At least he should try to convince the young man.

"Are you taking the role?" Sungmin asked pretending to be busy washing the knife that he use and keeping it in the drawer.
Kyuhyun just look at him as he took his glass. He looked up pretending to think about what Sungmin is referring
to. He looked at the older cooly. "I'm referring to the musical."

"No. Why would I do that?" Kyuhyun said although at the back of his mind he is excited that Professor Park came up to him and gave him
the lead role and is going to start rehearsing soon. "I just want to try for the role since it looks fun."

Fun? You want to try the role for fun?! You were the only who was able to sing my song and you tried it for fun?!

Sungmin sighed and looked at him as he drinks. "Well many people would anticipate for your performance,
I mean... it's not everyday that they can hear Cho Kyuhyun sing." Patience, Ming. Just try to convince him.

"Do you anticipate for my performance as well?" Kyuhyun asked looking at him seriously. He smirks when he saw his
brother blushing and looking down. Call himself a Prince Syndrome guy but he knows even Sungmin was mesmerised by his singing
ability. He could just see the man looking stupid at him as he sang the lines in the song Sungmin wrote.

Sungmin looked down. He's not a good liar, but he wouldn't like it if Kyuhyun would just win over this early morning arguement.
"Well...you sound ok. Quite..." what simple word can he think of? Quick, Min, the simpler, the better!

"Breath-taking?" Kyuhyun asked.

Sungmin was still busy thinking that when he heard Kyuhyun's word he just nodded and agreed to it. "Yeah... breath-takin-" he looked
at the younger whose smirk slowly grow wider.

"Such a jerk." Sungmin whispered. "You sound ok, that's it!" He walked away trying to continue his work. He wanted to end the
conversation there. Why did he even initiated a small talk with this person? He's just a good for nothing jerk. The younger
watches him arrange the food elegantly and his eyes brightened for a while. He looked down for a while before looking at
Sungmin's back and...

"I'll take the lead role if you do something for me." Kyuhyun said putting the glass down and walking towards Sungmin.

Sungmin turned when he heard that Kyuhyun would take the role. Maybe he doesn't need to convince Kyuhyun, maybe the young man
just need help on something. Washing? Pressing his clothes? Math, Biology? History homework? Does he wants someone to run errands
for him? He cannot say he can do all this but he will do his best as long as Kyuhyun will accept the lead role.

"What is it?"

Whatever it is, he'd be willing to do it, that's how determined he is. Kyuhyun's voice is the most perfect voice for that song and
he'd be willing to do anything this young man wants as long as he agrees. But Kyuhyun smiled brightly with his eyes piercing the
older man's skin yet again. Just then Sungmin remembered that it is Kyuhyun who is talking to him right now. Who
knows what he's thinking at the back of his mind? Sungmin suddenly felt scared but he cannot let the young man see it.

Kyuhyun smiled one sidedly as he continuously walk towards Sungmin, making the older step back a few times. Kyuhyun leaned
forward letting their nose almost meet for a while. Kyuhyun was delighted when he saw himself in Sungmin's frightened eyes.

"Kiss me."

"What?!" Sungmin asked loudly making a quick repel from the young man. "Y-you're crazy." he looked away and tried doing
something else but Kyuhyun maintain the same look and walked towards him. Isn't the kiss from the last time enough? He needs to
admit that the feeling of that kiss lingered for a long while but please, he has no intention of sharing another kiss with
Kyuhyun! He took away Sungmin's first kiss, the older tried to forget it even though Kyuhyun's electricity disturbed him for quite
a long time. He swore he'll get another first kiss... and he swore it won't be with Kyuhyun again!

"I want to take the role Min, trust me, I want to do it. So do me a favor." he said. Sungmin's face is damn hot, he thought he'll
have fever at that instant. What is Kyuhyun thinking? No, why does Kyuhyun think like this?

"I won't do it."

"Why not? I'm offering you a good ideal." Kyuhyun said as he stood in front of the older. "Look, I'm the only one who can sing that song. You need me to
sing the song for that musical. I get a kiss, you get your singer."

Sungmin chuckled bitterly and glared at Kyuhyun. "Yah! Stop being over confident. I'm quite sure- someone... will appear to-to sing
that... song." he swallowed when the younger doesn't seemed to be frightened. Is he really that confident that he'll be the only
one who can sing it? Argh!

Kyuhyun watches Sungmin choke on his own words. He likes the thought that innocent Sungmin panics with his presence. His little
angel is always rattled when he plays around. And why is he not aware that Kyuhyun has already gotten the role? He's quite stupid...but Kyuhyun
likes that he is stupid because the young man can always play with his angel the way he would want to. He crossed his arms together and smiled.
"You're right. Someone else can sing that song." he gasped his breath shortly. "But I want that role too."

"Take it if you want to but don't even think I'm giving in to whatever you want." Sungmin said.

"I have no choice then..." he looked away shortly but quickly looking back catching Sungmin's frightened eyes. "I will just
have to kiss you."

"W-what?!"

"You really don't realise that I can always get what I want, do you?" Kyuhyun smirked on him. Dark eyes are b and are piercing
Sungmin's skin.

"Yah! Stop it." Sungmin said trying to be a bit more courageous yet in fact his knees are getting weaker the closer Kyuhyun
gets to him. "This is not a nice prank!" the younger chuckled when Sungmin raised his voice a bit. "If you want the role take it, but
I won't be a fool to be kissed by you again."

"This is not a prank. I'm quite serious about this." he smiled at Sungmin who doesn't stop from walking backwards since the time
Kyuhyun started walking closer to him. "Stop going away, Sungmin ah... I can kiss you even without holding you so it's no use."

Sungmin chuckled. How can Kyuhyun kiss without holding him? He can move away fast and knows that the young man will fail in doing so.
But why is he even thinking Kyuhyun would really kiss him? This stepbrother of his; is either crazy or on drugs or something. He
still doesn't believe Kyuhyun can kiss him without the use of his hands, he's just trying to scare the older one, Sungmin won't fall
for the trap. He looked at Kyuhyun who is now standing in front of him.

"You're playin-"

Kyuhyun ducked his face towards Sungmin just right through his parted lips. The older widened his eyes and the first
thing he did was to step back. He'll get away with it. It was the smartest thing to do. He stepped back once he felt the lips
pressing his own but he regret the very second he did it.

Kyuhyun indeed did not use his hands to stop Sungmin from moving, but his stupid brother stepped back not knowing that there is
a wall behind him, making it easier for the younger to explore on his mouth even more. He didn't use his hands to hold Sungmin, but
he used them to hold on to the wall to trap the older one even more.

Sungmin blinked for a number of times. What the heck did he just do? He just let Kyuhyun kiss him even more comfortably...and without
the use of his hands! Those lips moving around on his upper and lower lips nibbling both and making him regret the smartest thing he
thought he has ever done. His hands curled to a hard fist. Heartbeat accelerating. Mind being blown away.

Kyuhyun continuously move his lips, inviting Sungmin to open up a bit more. He took the chance to insert his tongue as the older was
just too shock with the effect of his own stupidity. Sungmin widened his eyes when he felt the slick muscle travelling inside his
mouth, inviting his own tongue for a slow dance.

Sungmin's first kiss is not for Kyuhyun! So does his second kiss! His mind is screaming at himself. Alright, say Sungmin's back is
resting on the wall now but why can't he move? Do something like pushing Kyuhyun away can also be an option but he just
stood there letting Kyuhyun work his mouth on him.

What is he doing? His tongue is voluntarily playing with Kyuhyun's. And what is this sweet electricity that flow in those lips? It's
thrilling and sweet and bitter and burning. Sungmin doesn't even realise that he is already responding to the expert mouth next to
his. Sungmin felt so hypnotised by the way Kyuhyun press and move his mouth into his that he slowly close his eyes and leaned his
head forward to get the full taste of that kiss. He shouldn't be doing this. Sungmin ah! His ears are deaf to his mind's calling.
He just cannot stop his body from responding to Kyuhyun's endearing kiss. He wants more of it. He wants to get more of this enticing
taste. He wants more of Kyuhyun's taste.

Kyuhyun opened his eyes and watched Sungmin being engrossed to his kiss. The older man giving in to his invasion and accepting the
slow dance. He stopped moving and yet Sungmin seemed to want more, his mouth is still moving towards Kyuhyun's. The younger stepped
back and smiled slyly. Sungmin wanting more of his kiss... this is such a scene!

The older slowly opened his eyes as if he was still dreaming but was immediately widened his eyes, as if he was struck by a lightning.
He was so shock he doesn't know exactly happened between the 2 of them. Did he just open his eyes? Why did he close his
eyes? Where are Kyuhyun's lips? Why is it away from him?

 


Wait.

 


What the hell...

Did he just kiss Kyuhyun?

Holy mother of crabs!
He wanted to die that moment but he didn't. He watches Kyuhyun as he mock the older with those pair of sharp eyes.

Kyuhyun used his thumb to wipe some of their mixed saliva off his lips still looking at Sungmin and showed a bang sign.
"Gotcha!" he winked at Sungmin and walked away still with the sly smile.

Sungmin slid down as he leaned against the wall. He cannot believe he'd fall for that. Kyuhyun's lips...he fell for Kyuhyun's
lips. He swallowed and touched his lips trying to erase the feeling that lingers. But thinking about it... it's not just the feeling
of Kyuhyun's lips that lingers now, even Kyuhyun's taste is already inside his mouth...lingering. The essence of milk that the
younger took in earlier and his natural fresh breath are all inside Sungmin's mouth. !

He thought he can just forget about his first kiss and just find someone who can give him a second first kiss. But Kyuhyun took his
very first and now even his second first kiss. He can't pretend he can still get a third first kiss anymore. It's just a stupid
thought.

"For the second time, I lose it to a rotten jerk."

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

Siwon clenched his jaw as he went back his room the same morning. Why is Kyuhyun doing this to Sungmin? He saw Kyuhyun kissing
their hyung for the second time. He hates it. He hates the fact that the magnae takes advantage of their hyung's sweet and
gentle presence. He sighed. What is this? He shouldn't be jealous, but he just can't stop the overflowing jealousy that he has right
now. Sungmin tried convincing Kyuhyun to be part of the musical. Kyuhyun kissing their hyung for the second time. It's just not
right anymore. Cho Kyuhyun, you rotten bastard, what the heck are you playing at?

On second thought, the first time he saw Sungmin being kissed by Kyuhyun, he was crying like a baby right after. But then he is
letting Kyuhyun sleep in his bed every night. In the morning, he will act like he hates Kyuhyun and he would smile at Siwon as if
the admiration is still there. Earlier, Kyuhyun forced a kiss on him, but he give in shortly after that. Sungmin seem to like playing
games with both of them. What is Sungmin's game? What does he want from Siwon and Kyuhyun?

'Stop being such a hypocrite!' he remembered what Kyuhyun said. 'You don't even see him as a brother, who are you fooling?'

Kyuhyun is right. Who is he fooling? 'He's mine...I'll make sure he'll be mine.'

And if the magnae can do it. Why can't he? Besides, Sungmin confessed to him. Sungmin likes him.
What is there to be afraid of? He was never rejected... and will never be because Sungmin likes him. And Kyuhyun is just a rotten
jerk who needs attention desperately. He looked sharply at the side before sighing... "Sungmin is not yours, Kyuhyun ah..."

"He'll never be..." and just then,

 

 

a one sided smile.
