As soon as Hyukjae closed the door, Sungmin pushed him against the wall and started kissing him again. The other is lost and cannot even
think of what he should do. Sungmin held Hyukjae's hands and guided them all over his body. He separated his mouth for a short while to
catch his breath and to swallow a bit and continued kissing Hyukjae all over his face.

Hyukjae closed his eyes tightly and pushed Sungmin hardly, he hit his back on the wall. "Can you stop that?!" Hyukjae asked. His eyebrows
crossed, a sigh before wiping off the saliva. He looked at Sungmin sharply who was catching his breath.

"What?!" Sungmin asked as if disappointed.

"What do you think you're doing?" Hyukjae asked.

Sungmin chuckled with sarcasm as he looked at his friend. "You've been waiting for this, haven't you? A chance to me."

Hyukjae crossed his eyebrows and understand what is going on. He looked at Sungmin in the eye and nodded his head. His friend is high on
something and this is what he has been thinking at the back of his mind. Sungmin's dark side is out and this is what he is behind the good
mask. A bad man who thinks he's always the victim. A man who always thinks he's the only one who sacrifices. A bitter chuckle.

"Afterall this time, you think I just want to you?" he bit his lower lip and shook his head. "I'm so disappointed." Sungmin is still
feeling dizzy, his mind is still spinning. What is Hyukjae talking about? He doesn't care about it anymore, he walked towards Hyukjae again
and started to kiss him. Hyukjae held both side of his friend's face and kissed back hardly he knew his lips will be bruised too. He heard
a gasp of pain from Sungmin but he continued doing it; nibbling both lips with his tongue. He lead Sungmin to the wall and pushed him
there hardly once again. Sungmin's head slightly bounced back but is ready to have more of it but the other held both his wrists tightly
and pushed him violently back on the wall. Sungmin stopped going forward feeling a bit frightened.

Hyukjae pulled Sungmin's wrist closer to him and pulled him with the same violent force towards the bathroom. He immediately closed the door
and locked it.

"Since I'm so lowly to just want to you. I'll do you a favor." Hyukjae said as he smirked.

He held Sungmin's arms to face him, ed his shirt in such a rush before pulling down the pants roughly. His eyes not leaving
Sungmin. He threw the clothes somewhere in the bathroom and looked at Sungmin sharply as he shook his head. His drunk and drugged friend
smirked as he watched Hyukjae doing all the dirty work for him. It wouldn't be such a bad thing to have a ing session with your best
buddy especially at times like this. Sungmin smiled at Hyukjae.

Hyukjae swallowed as the rest of his best friend's skin exposed in front of him. Sungmin is half in front
of him. His smooth, warm skin influencing Hyukjae's very own temperature. He has never seen his friend ... at least not in reality.
He knew he has a growing feeling inside him right now.

"Hyukjae ah..." Sungmin asked, blinking twice and trembling. It is cold. What is going on?

Hyukjae blinked his eyes for a while. What the heck?! He's not the one that is drugged! He better get himself together! He shook his head
and brushed his hair up. No, he won't be insane to take advantage of Sungmin in this state. But...

He twisted Sungmin making him face his back and let him bend facing the toilet bowl. Sungmin's backside. His oh so gifted backside is in
front of him. Another smirk. He pulled off his own shirt and didn't show any reaction when Sungmin turned to him for a while. He saw his
drunk friend swallowing as soon as he saw Hyukjae's body; eyes lost in fake lust, loneliness and desperation.

Hyukjae let his palms slide up and down on Sungmin's back for a while. The smoothness of his friend's back is indescribable. Even the finest
melody cannot describe the silky smooth skin in front of him. Another up and down before letting his hands slide of Sungmin's waist.
Both of his arms reached the other's abdomen and with a swift move, he exerted pressure on it making Sungmin have a gag reflex. Sungmin
cough hardly and his eyes went teary. Hyukjae bent his friend forward and rubbed his back downwards. "It's ok..." he said in his gentle-st
voice. "One more..."

He did the action for the second time making Sungmin cough really hard, tears came out due to gagging. Hyukjae stopped and soothe his back
once again. "Shh... One more." He did the action for the third and fourth time until Sungmin vomitted. Tears came out due to
gagging and he coughed more, brown liquid and loads of sticky saliva went out of his mouth. Sungmin held on to the side of the toilet bowl
as he vomitted more of those brownish liquid and some lump of saliva. He knelt down and almost put his face inside it. Hyukjae squatted
down and soothed his back as he vomitted voluntarily. "Throw it up... everything."

Hyukjae watched Sungmin vomitted in the bowl. His friend is hopeless. He shook his head as he sighed. He reached for the detachable shower
head and washed off the vomitus that escaped from bowl. Sungmin was wrecked and weakened by his own vomitting that he doesn't even know how
to stand up. Hyukjae turned to him once the surrounding is clean and helped him to stand up. A sigh before letting his friend stand on his
own. He handed the shower head to Sungmin.

"Clean yourself up. If you think you still want me to you... I'll wait outside."

Sungmin looked down and ignore Hyukjae. He felt the uncomfortable pain in his stomach. As if something is raking the insides of it. Hyukjae turned the
faucet on so that the tub will be filled with water before he completely went out.

Sungmin breathe out gently. His head is aching, pulsing so hard and it's too painful. He looked down. He saw Kyuhyun kissing Ryeowook and ,
the pain in his stomach is destroying all his drama. He crawled towards the bath tub and slumped in it. His body is heavy, his head is
aching, his stomach is empty.

Kyuhyun kissed Ryeowook for him to see.

Hyukjae sighed and rubbed Sungmin's back once again. He looked at his friend with sympathy. He knows it's not been easy these days.
Sungmin must have had too much of everything. He, too, has lost his patience on his friend when he needed support the most. He's quite
sorry for Sungmin. He shouldn't have said those words just now. One blink to keep the tears inside. He can't bear seeing Sungmin like
this. This is the worst of him. And curse that it should be Kyuhyun who's by his side now.

"Shower yourself, I'll ask somebody to grab us some food."

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

Sungmin was quite ashamed of what he has done. It's all clear in his mind. He was almost going to go with a stranger. He was drugged and
almost wanted to betray his own friendship with Hyukjae. He said things he didn't mean to say. He's such a shameful idiot.
He remained seated inside the tub as he think things through. It has always been Hyukjae who catches his downfall. Hyukjae has always
been watching over him. Hyukjae has always been there for him. Sungmin blinked some tears away. Kyuhyun is probably with Ryeowook and he
probably doesn't care where Sungmin is. He sighed heavily. He shouldn't have wanted to stay with Kyuhyun. He has given everything to the
man, he didn't even ask anything in return but that this is what he get after everything.

Sungmin sobbed a little loudly and kept his silence again. He slowly slid himself in the tub and let his mind float with the water. Just
for now... he really wants to die. Just for now... let him die.

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

"That's good. We should be able to release it by the end of the week." Hyukjae's voice is calm and low. He is on the phone walking in circles,
head down and watching his footsteps as he walks. He turned to the clock at the side of the bed. 11.40pm. It's been 20 minutes since he left
Sungmin in the bathroom.

"Oh..." Hyukjae said and ignored his thought. "Tell her to come to the studio next week. I'll have her song ready." he bit his lower lip as
he listens to the voice on the other side. "No, I haven't asked him again. It should be fine. I can always leave with or without him." a
chuckle. "You won't call him a newbie when you hear him sing." Hyukjae chuckled. "I'm giving him a recent composition. Yup. Right. Ok.
I'll call you back tomorrow."

Hyukjae went inside the room and heard the faucet from the toilet still running. That's weird. It seems like the water in the tub is overflowing.
He crossed his eyebrows shortly. He cleared his throat and knocked on the door.

"Sungmin, are you done yet?" he looked at the closed door. Sungmin didn't answer. "Ming?" he breathe out shortly and turned the knob. He
turned his side and widened his eyes in shock.

"Sungmin ah!" he called as he ran towards the tub with Sungmin's whole body under the cold water. ! He immediately pulled Sungmin out
of the tub making the water spill out. The floor has become slippery and Hyukjae's pants has become wet. Sungmin was coughing profusely
after that.

"Yah! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Hyukjae asked as he brought Sungmin out of the bathroom completely. Sungmin was on the
floor looking pissed at his friend. "Yah! What's going on with you? This is not how you handle things, Lee Sungmin-"

"I saw them kissing a while ago."

There was a long silence after that. Sungmin blinked and his eyes slowly become red and tears warned to come out. Hyukjae was speechless
after what he heard. It was hard enough to be insecure... but witnessing Kyuhyun's choice first hand... He nodded his head. His friend has
endured enough.

"He said he'll choose me." Sungmin's lips involuntarily frown. "He said he'll tell Ryeowook soon." Finally the tears freed themselves and
burned him even when his face is still wet. "But..." he bit his lower lips and started sobbing. Sungmin enveloped his lips to emit the
sound but his heart is compressing too much he knows it'll be better to sob every now and then.

Hyukjae shook his head, squat in front of Sungmin and hugged him tightly. He looked up and tried to let his own tears stay in place. Is
this his role in the story? To witness the person he loves the most to sink in despair? Why is this world so cruel? Why can't he have a
better role for this ing story?

Sungmin suppressed the rest of his tears inside and let go of Hyukjae.

"Hyukjae ah... plan this trip quickly." he said as he looked at Hyukjae.

"I'm coming with you."
