South America. The farthest they can go for now is South America. Sungmin and Hyukjae didn't waste any time lingering around and lazing. As
soon as they've adjusted their body to the time, they went to survey the popularity of their company's groups around and made a decision 
that they are strong enough to do it in a big dome. Teenagers, middle-age women and even grandmom's are mostly the targets for their boy
groups; adolescent boys, middle age men and even professionals are targeted for their girl groups. Obviously, they aim to cater to almost
everyone. They visited different domes and made up their mind to choose the biggest indoor performance place. 

Hyukjae and Sungmin sat down together on one of the audience seat to look at the top view of the place. With a sketch pad and a pencil, Sungmin
started to lay out the things he would want to put in it.

"Do you think we should put threadmill belts?" he asked Hyukjae. "This will be a good effect. Shindong can exercise too while at it."
He smiled in a bit silly way. "They used it in their concert anyway. It should be fine. Let's get the best part of each group's concert and put it together."

Hyukjae just watched him as he continuously busy himself. "Hmm... I think having a crane or something mobile at this area would be good too."
Sungmin continued as he pointed on one of the areas. "What do you think?" 

He looked up to Hyukjae with his big eyes but the latter took away his sketch book. "You know what? I think you should get a little life and
walk around. I'm so sick of going inside this dome, Min."

"Hyukjae..." he said after sighing. "There's plenty of work to be done."

"Hey, I didn't propose this 3 years trip to finish everything in a week. I will go out right now and if you want to stay in this dome, fine.
I'm going to Brazil!"

Hyukjae started walking away when Sungmin stood up. "You are already in Brazil, idiot!"

The other turned his back and looked at Sungmin. "Exactly! So why am I inside this place when there are a lot to see out there?"

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

Ryeowook took small steps and held tightly on his metal walker. Yes. He has started his physiotherapy and is now trying to walk on his feet
again. He has been stagnant in bed for years and he doesn't want to rot in there. He is now more eager to get better and looks forward to his
therapies even more. 

"Ohh!" a young girl cried when she looked up on the tv attached at the corner of the wall. Ryeowook looked at the girl and looked at the tv
as well. 

In the screen is the shy man smiling and then looking at the lens of the camera. "Thank you for inviting me here. I'm the new SJ talent,
Yesung." he said and bowed yet again in front of the audience.

Ryeowook looked at the girl who seemed excited over this new face on screen. He shook his head and went back to his small steps routine.

"Omo! Oppa is going to sing!" the same girl exhaled with excitement. Ryeowook turned to the girl yet again and decided to walked slowly 
towards her.

"Do you know him?" Ryeowook asked. 

The girl turned to him and nodded nodded excitedly. "Oh. He used to come here in this hospital." she said, willing to tell more stories.
"Oppa used to come here to take care of his dad. His dad got some accidents in the factory he's working at. We were in the same ward." 
The girl stopped when the music started. "Oh. Wait, he's going to start." 

Ryeowook chuckled unbelievably when he saw the girl's reaction towards this new guy. He looked at the screen and watched the guy who is 
standing and closing his eyes. 

What makes him impressive? He's not even that tall like Kyuhyun. He's not even as eye catching as his brother. He's not even cute like
Sungmin hyung. What makes him impressive?

The piano introduction made Ryeowook unmindedly moves his fingers on his metal support. SJ talent? Sungmin? is it Hyukjae? The guy on screen
opened his eyes and placed his microphone in front of him.

Oneuldo nae gieogeul ttarahemaeda [Today, as my memory wanders]
Igil kkeuteseo seoseongineun na [At the end of this road, I still linger]

Ryeowook's eyebrows raised in an instant when he started to hear that voice. Warm and low and too emotional. What's this song about? His
voice is just so familiar, he thinks this song is a part of him. 

Dasin bolsudo eomneun niga nareul butjaba [Althought I can't see you, you're still holding me tight]
Naneun tto igireul mutneunda [I also question this path]

Ryeowook eyed on the girl who is happily listening to the song. Why is she smiling? Does she knows what this song means? It's not even for you
to smile at. Do you even feel the longing, young girl? What do you even know? Ryeowook looked at the guy on screen who is coincidentally looking
back at the lens of the camera. This is crazy. He's looking at Ryeowook's eyes. 

Neol bogosipdago [I want to see you]
Tto angosipdago [And I want to hold you]
Jeo haneulbomyeo gidohaneun nal [I look up in the sky and pray]

What's with this guy? Ryeowook looked down. Was it his brother who sounded like this? Impossible. Jae hyung's voice is cold. Trying hard
to be a rock star when he can never escape pop. Ryeowook closed his eyes and breathe in.

Niga animyeon andwae [If it's not you, then it can't be]

Ryeowook suddenly opened his eyes. He eyed on the screen and with big eyes looked at the guy on screen. What's his name again? No. That's
not even his name. 

Neo eobsin nan andwae [I can't be without you]
Na ireoke haru handareul tto illyeoneul [Being like this for days, months, even years]
Na apado joha [Even if I'm hurt, it's fine]
Nae mamdachyeodo joha nan [Even if my heart hurts, it's fine]

Ryeowook's mouth agaped for a while and tears came up in his eyes. Why? Why does he feel like crying? Sungmin, does it really have to be Kyuhyun? 

"Ryeong..." a tear fell and Ryeowook got back to his senses.

Geurae nan neo hanaman saranghanikka [That's right, it's because I love you]

He breathe in deeply and composed himself before turning to the person who called him. He saw Kyuhyun in his casual clothes and specs. His 
classes are over for the day and he is here to be with Ryeowook for another therapy session. 

It's not even that. Ryeong, does it really have to be Kyuhyun?

They found themselves sitting on one of the free benches in the hospital. Ryeowook is not on wheelchair anymore. He has his walking frame
to support him. Kyuhyun brought some hot soup and pour some in the cup of his thermos. He blew it and passed it to Ryeowook.

Ryeowook sighed deeply as he looked far. "You've broken up with me... What are you still here for?" he asked while taking the cup without
looking at Kyuhyun.

Kyuhyun smiled and looked far too. "This is probably the best way to pay for what I've done."

Ryeowook shook his head. "You don't even know if I still want what you're doing."

Kyuhyun looked up and saw a plane passing from the sky. A short smile that Ryeowook witnessed. He looked down and drank the hot soup slowly.
He passed the cup back to Kyuhyun and sighed deeply. "I don't want you here anymore, Kyuhyun. If you really want me to move on then please
stay away from me." Kyuhyun looked down and shook his head. 

"Do you want to know something?"

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

Ryeowook went back to his hospital bed and looked at the ceiling. He will be discharged in a week and he can't wait to go home. He has been
in this place for the longest time. He remembered what Kyuhyun told him. Funny. Should he believe this? He shook his head and closed his
eyes. The song he heard from earlier in the therapy started to sing in his mind again. He knows this song...but where did he hear it? 

The night is long and Ryeowook couldn't stop thinking about that voice. Moreso what Kyuhyun told him. He sighed deeply and looked at the floor.
He raised his body up and his feet flat on the floor. He tried to make a step without using his frame. A smile. He made another step... and another step.

-------------------------------3 YEARS AFTER--------------------

"How could you do this Hyukjae ah?!" Sungmin said while being agitated. "You actually want to release a group without telling me?!" Hyukjae
just looked at him cooly.

"Who's training them without us? And you actually want them to debut on the concert day?!" Sungmin was so frustrated while Hyukjae just watched him
calmly. "You know that it is a big day! This is what we've been preparing for for 3 years! All the line-ups are ready and you suddenly
want to make a change?! You know very well that a slight change in this project can make us lose millions!" 

Hyukjae stood up and get himself a glass of water. He drank quietly while Sungmin continuously rant on this and that. He turned to his
agitated friend and rested his back on the wall while watching him.

"Yah... aren't you going to say something?"

It's been three years of hard work and training and planning and designing their very first world tour as the whole company and tomorrow is
the big day. Seoul will be their first stop before leaving to New York and Sungmin had enough stress since the time the company started rehearsing 
a month ago. 

"I don't think our people are incapable of making a good debut, Min. There's nothing to agitate about." Hyukjae said passing his friend
a glass of water.

"Of course there is. We've fed people with exactly sixty-seven teasers of EXO before they debut and now you want to release a group
without any background at all? How do you expect them to sell?" Hyukjae smirked at him.

"Let's just say I know my talents well." Sungmin rolled his eyes and shook his head. He looked at the line-ups and sighed deeply.

1.Opening Number
2.F(x)
  -LaChata
  -Chocolate Love
  -Pinocchio
  -Jet
  -Electric Shock
3. Girls Generation
  -Gee
  -Genie
  -Run Devil Run
4. EXo
  -History
  -Mama
5.VCR
6.Boa
  -Venus
  -Eat Me Up
7. Yesung
  -Grey Paper
7. New group- KRY
  -Let's Not
  -The One I Love

He paused on the name of the new group and sighed yet again. Just looking at this line-up makes him frustrated. He wonder how much money 
will the company lose because of this. They are obviously taking a very good risk. What makes Hyukjae think that this group can do it? He's
very meticulous when it comes to training groups before releasing. What makes him feel confident that these people will bring success? Sungmin
hasn't even met one of them. 

He looked at Hyukjae looking at him. The guy just turned his back and secretly sighed deeply too.

"This group will be the most special, Min. You have to trust me."
