Hyukjae twisted again on his bed. He cannot forget how disheartening Ryeowook's look was a while ago. And because of that, he wasn't able
to say it. He sighed. He should have said it awhile ago. He closed his eyes shortly and opened it again, his arms on his forehead.
I don't care if he hates me.

He stood up and stretched his arms up. He cannot sleep. He needs to work. If he cannot sleep, if he doesn't feel tired, he needs to work his
off for a while. He took out the music sheets that Sungmin passed him the other day. To whom should he give it? To the new recruit or
to Baek Ji Young? Whoever suits the song best. He smirked a bit. Wait, this isn't a song yet. A melody is not a song without the words. Just like Hyukjae
is nothing without Sungmin, just like Sungmin is nothing without Kyuhyun. Just like that. happens. He shook his head. What was he thinking about?
He knows what to do with this.

Hyukjae sat down in front of a mini recording machine at the corner of his room. He played the music slowly as he reads the notes in the
music sheet. He slowly looked down. Sungmin ah, how many times have I read your mind? Hyukjae closed his eyes for a while. It is a habit of
him to let himself sink inside the melody to be able to write it. This is the only way for him to be inside Sungmin's world. Be inside his melody, uncover
the secret message of every note. What is inside this heart-wretching melody?

Hyukkie ah, let's be together for a while. Let Kyuhyun and Ryeowook spend some time together.

Hyukjae heard Sungmin's voice from 5 years ago. His bubbly smile, his weird caramel sundae addiction, the Jung Yunho fanboying... And then
the accident.

It is my responsibility to look after him. Nobody blames me for this, that's what makes me guilty.

His eyes has lost their spark. His sunbeam of a smile has disappear. Hyukjae's favorite Ming has burst like a bubble.

He said he'll said it today.

And there goes Sungmin's bitter smile. He had it from the time Ryeowook has opened his eyes. And then a while ago...

I don't care if he hates me.

Where has the real Sungmin gone to? He has witnessed Sungmin from being an innocent carefree person, to a silent lover and then to a
saddened lover... and now to a desperate one. What can he do for this man? How can he end up Sungmin's agony. If he could just let Hyukjae
tie him up and take him away from Kyuhyun, things would have been a lot easier. But this is Sungmin, and he is Lee Hyukjae, the only person
whose existence is still unknown. Whatever it is, he is sure salvaging Sungmin is one of the reasons why he is here in this complicated
story.

Hyukjae opened his eyes and started writing.

In case you get erased and forgotten
In case you grow out of sight and disappear
In one second, for a thousand times
I repeat these words,
Don't go far away

Hyukjae gently threw the pen on the table, stood up and went off to bed. That's enough for tonight.

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

Kyuhyun entered the hospital room and found Ryeowook immediately smiling for him. Ryeowook's heart will always leap like this for Kyuhyun.
He's the only one. He doesn't know how he end up being in the hospital but seeing Kyuhyun everyday because of this makes him extra happy.
He knows Kyuhyun loves him. Even if the other doesn't say much about his feelings, he knows Kyuhyun cares for him.

Ryeowook raised his shoulders for a while and smiled even wider. "I knew you would come today." he said. He giggled a bit and extended one
of his arm to reach out for Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun hesitantly walked closer and reached for the other's hand. "I'm so glad you're here. I'm
very bored I wish I can walk outside."

"Let's take a walk outside then." Kyuhyun said immediately, his voice soft but not as sweet. His voice is never sweet. Ryeowook giggled
again and wrapped his arms around Kyuhyun's neck as the other carried him to the wheel chair. They met each other's eyes but Kyuhyun just
give a short smile and started to push the wheel chair before Ryeowook could even stretch his neck hoping for a kiss.

They walked quietly until they reached a good spot outside the hospital. There is a fountain with a statue of a lady holding a ceramic jug.
Ryeowook smiled once again. "This is nice. It's like a dating place. " he said.
Kyuhyun watched Ryeowook as he looked up the sky. Ryeowook has his own beauty. His bright smile, his sparkling eyes...he is a beauty. But...

"Ryeowook ah..." he called. Ryeowook turned to him.

"Uhm?"

Kyuhyun sighed and his lips before asking. "Shall I sing for you?"

A slightly stunned expression before a wide smile. Kyuhyun looked at Ryeowook's eyes for a while before readying himself to sing the song.

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

Sungmin focused on his work that day. He doesn't want to think that Kyuhyun would want to tell Ryeowook about them soon. He's not confident
about this at all. It feels like his days with Kyuhyun will be over soon. Why does he feel this way? Things would have been better if
Ryeowook didn't sleep for too long. Sungmin looked down and stopped pressing keys...

Or if he didn't wake up at all.

He looked outside the window and startled when he saw Jaejoong peeping at him. What does he want?

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

"I already told you to take him away. Why didn't you?" Jaejoong asked in a calm subtle way.

Sungmin's head is not listening to him. His eyes are on Jaejoong's nicely shine shoes. Jaejoong was able to manage his life this well. He
established himself to be one of the best artist in another company. But Kyuhyun? Kyuhyun dropped out of school. He stopped dreaming his
dreams. His world revolved around the sleeping Ryeowook. His life wasn't able to go on. He hates this man in front of him. He hates
Jaejoong. He and Ryeowook are the reason why Kyuhyun has become like this. They are the reason why Sungmin has become like this. They
can't move on. They can't move back. Jaejoong and Ryeowook plotted this mess around them.

"Lee Sungmin," Jaejoong's call startled him a little but not enough to make him lose his calm. "If you don't want to take Kyuhyun away...
just let go of him. Let him go to Ryeowook...let him-"

Sungmin cannot hear it again. The first few words are enough for him to know Jaejoong's agenda here. He breathe in deeply...

"Let him-"

"Whatever it is that you want to say..." Sungmin started before meeting his eyes. "Say those to Kyuhyun. He'll make the decision for you
and me."

He turned his back and started walking. Right. Kyuhyun will do the thinking. He's tired of thinking about what not. He doesn't want to
bother about Jaejoong's plan. As long as Kyuhyun wants him here...he'll be here.

But what if...

Sungmin looked down.

If...

If...

If...

A deep sigh. Sungmin continued walking back to his company and just stared at the piano keyboard. There's no song. There's only him and the
noisy ticking clock...and his lifeless beating heart.

If he wants so...then be it.
