"Kyu," Kyuhyun turned to Sungmin once he the light to their house. Why is Sungmin looking so worried. His eyes are focusing
on the floor, his eyebrows slightly creased... he looks tired. "What will happen to Ryeong?" he looked at Kyuhyun in the eyes for a
while. Kyuhyun has always have the least to say. Why can't he say what he wants to say? Why can't he say what he wants to do? What is
he thinking about? What are his plans for Ryeowook? For Sungmin? For the three of them? He would always say the words that Sungmin
wants to hear. what about his personal thoughts?

Sungmin's eyebrows are creased, his eyes looking down, his lower lip slightly being bitten. Sometimes, its really good to have Kyung.
Kyung maybe quiet but he can tell Ming whatever he wants, whatever he thinks about. Kyuhyun... from the time he let go of Kyung, he
has been more quiet, more reserved, more mysterious. Sungmin is not confident even if he promised to wait. What might Jaejoong do to them?
What would Ryeowook think of them?

Kyuhyun held on to the other's chin and gently pull the lower lip down to be freed from being bitten. Sungmin looked up and realised
the Kyuhyun's eyes are on him. "He'll be fine, Sungmin. There's nothing to worry about."

He looked at Kyuhyun in the eyes. Those dark eyes are the calmest thing right now. Is he this happy to see Ryeowook awake? There's
nothing to be worried about. Of course there is. Jaejoong called him asking him to take Kyuhyun away. That is something to worry about.
What is Jaejoong planning? Why would he encourage Sungmin to do that? He looked down. Does he really have the power to do that? But
Kyuhyun chose him. Kyuhyun wants to be with him.

But Sungmin is the least confident in life. He always sees himself disappearing in a snap once Kyuhyun and Ryeowook are together. He
always fear the day when Kyuhyun would say he's tired of being with him. He wouldn't want that time to come. He didn't even realise
how badly he wished for his friend not to wake up anymore. He feels sorry that he wanted it that way. He doesn't want Ryeowook to die,
he just want Ryeowook to sleep for hundred years until Kyuhyun and him are old together. He didn't realised how selfish he has become
just to have Kyuhyun.

A moving sound made him drop his thoughts. Kyuhyun has changed into his sleeping clothes and is heading to bed. He blinked for a while
and decided to follow Kyuhyun. Sungmin should sleep too. He looked down shortly before getting his towel. Where is this story
heading? Why can't it just skip to the happy ending? Why does he have to be unconfident? Why is he so insecure?

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

Sungmin fidget for the nth time and it's already 3.30 in the morning. He sighed. He can't do this. He needs to stand up.  He hates
himself for thinking a lot. No, it's not even about Ryeowook. It's about him. It's about Lee Sungmin. What is his existence for? Why
did he choose this kind of love story when he can clearly stay with Hyukjae and live a simple, colourful life with the other by his
side? Why did he choose to live in black and gray? Why did he exist in this kind of setting where he and Kyuhyun cannot be just
best friends forever?

He has decided to just think of work instead of the hospital or Ryeowook or Jaejoong...or...he looked down. He can't not think about
Kyuhyun. He's half the reason why Sungmin exists. What's the other reason?

He sat in front of the piano keyboard and plugged in his earphones. He hasn't pressed the third key when the other earphone was
removed by Kyuhyun. He placed it in his ear while Sungmin is watching him.

"What are you playing?" Kyuhyun asked. Sungmin just look at him. You should take him away. But how? How can he get Kyuhyun? When can
they get out of Ryeowook's shadow?

"You should sleep." Sungmin said. Kyuhyun looked at him and let his set of fingers run down from the other's forehead down to his
eyes and nose and cheeks and his lips.

"You should too." Kyuhyun said. He turned the keyboard off and took off Sungmin's earphones before pulling him up and leading him to
the bed.

"Kyuhyun..." Sungmin called. The other saw the same expression he had when they arrived home. "When are we going to tell him?"

Kyuhyun led him to lie on the bed and covered him with a blanket before slipping himself inside. He tugged the other closer and
kissed his forehead. "Tomorrow."

Sungmin looked up and saw Kyuhyun's eyes already closed. Why? Why does he feel like there is a barrier between him and Kyuhyun. The
other's body is so close to him but he can feel a wall separating them. Why is it so? Kyuhyun pulled him closer and Sungmin could
just feel his breathing. Tomorrow. The agony will end tomorrow.

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

There was a pause inside the hospital and everything halted on its place. Sungmin and Kyuhyun stood together at the foot of the bed.
Jaejoong is looking at the pocket keyboard on the floor, Ryeowook looking at his palms, Hyukjae just arrived and stopped halfway when
he heard a loud thug sound on the floor.

The first one to move is Sungmin. He took the pocket keyboard and placed it on Ryeowook's side. "It's ok, Ryeong. You'll be better
in no time." he said. He eyed on Kyuhyun whose nose got a little bit redder.

Kyuhyun is about to cry again. Sungmin thought. He turned to Ryeowook and smiled. "I can always teach you when I have free time."
Ryeowook looked down and pouted. Why can't he play the piano? He knows he know how to play it. He can play it better than Sungmin so
why can't he play? It seems like his fingers have stiffen and all the right keys disappeared in his mind. And why would Sungmin hyung
have time for him? He works harder than a cow to keep the governments funding for him. Why are they here anyway? Why aren't they
wearing their school uniform? It just doesn't make sense.

Hyukjae creased his eyebrows. Why can't Ryeowook play? He walked forward and stood beside Kyuhyun but ignored him.

"Hey, Ryeong..." he said. Ryeowook put his hands down and looked up to see his good friend. Jeez, why does it seem like he missed
Hyukjae alot? It seem like they haven't met for a long time. He smiled at Hyukjae and almost straightened up if the drippings
connected to his arm didn't stop him.

"Hyukkie ah... long time no see!" he said. His mood immediately changing.

"Eh?" he was just here the other day.

Ryeowook was indeed happy to see Hyukjae arrived. He's happy to see The Rookies being together for him in this place. "I haven't
seen you hanging around Kyuhyun for a while... I thought maybe you had a fight or something."

Hyukjae's eyes are slightly confused. He didn't have just a simple fight with Kyuhyun. He break ties with the other. Kyuhyun sighed
and kept his tears in tact. Crying won't do him any good. He needs to be strong just like what Sungmin is doing right now. He smiled
at Ryeowook while Sungmin watches the whole show. Hyukjae was about to say something when he felt a tap on his shoulders and there he
saw Kyuhyun smiling while looking at the patient.

"Are you kidding? You know Hyukjae can live without me." Kyuhyun said while hitting Hyukjae's shoulder. He turned to the shorter man
giving him the eyes as if saying just go with the flow. Hyukjae looked at Kyuhyun from head to toe. What the heck is this about?

Hyukjae turned to Sungmin and saw an approving nod. What the hell is going on? He secretly rolled his eyes. He smiled at Ryeowook and
turned to Kyuhyun. "Rather than Kyuhyun, I tend to stick with Sungmin more." he said.

"What?" Kyuhyun said trying to play the game. Hyukjae escaped from Kyuhyun's arm and walked towards Sungmin. "Sorry Kyuhyun, I intend
to kick you out of the best friend line. Sorry about that."
Ryeowook almost laugh at what Hyukjae said. Who on earth can actually kick Kyung and Ming's place in each other's best friend list?
It's like talking about the possibility of the moon coming out in the morning and the sun at night.

Hyukjae looked at Kyuhyun meaningfully. Ryeowook is oblivious to the wordplay...but he knows Kyuhyun understands what he meant by
those. Kyuhyun discreetly clenched his jaws. He doesn't like what Hyukjae said. Sungmin ignored the thought that maybe Hyukjae is
pertaining to something else so he just smiled and did not mind the arm that wrapped around his shoulders.

"And since Sungmin is choosing Hyukjae," from the other side, Jaejoong started speaking. "You should pay more attention to Ryeowook."

Ryeowook blushed with what Jaejoong said. He knows they are just kidding around, but why does his brother have to say those?

Hyukjae turned to Sungmin when he heard what Jaejoong said. The other just looked down and smiled. It was a bitter smile. He has
learned about how Sungmin smiles in different situations and he knows his dear friend is not good in keeping things cool. Jaejoong's
words slapped Sungmin's face to shame. It's as if telling everybody their right places. That he shouldn't be by Kyuhyun's side. He
clenched his jaw shortly. Kyuhyun should tell Ryeowook what is the real deal now. He wants everyone to know where Sungmin stands in
Kyuhyun's heart. He eyed on Kyuhyun eyeing on Ryeowook with a small smile. A silent gunshot in his heart. Today, you said it'll be
today.

Ryeowook is oblivious to all the wordplay and seeing his innocent blushing, Sungmin knows that Kyuhyun cannot say it today. You said
it'll be today.
