THE DAYS passed quickly and the news about Shim Changmin and Hwang Tiffany's engagement became the talk of the town. Most of the people were surprised but some barely reacted as though they had expected it to happen. As for Changmin, he didn't feel any emotion with all the fuss that is happening. He's neither excited nor nervous. He's still as calm as he always used to be - quite contrary to what a soon-to-be groom should feel.   Ring... Ring...   He was looking at a wedding magazine when he was disrupted by a call. He stood up and walked towards the direction of the noise. Turns out, it was Siwon's cellphone which has been ringing.   "He must have left it in his hurry." Changmin thought as he recalled his hyung's anxious appearance earlier that day.   The phone kept on ringing and Changmin knows why. The display showed the name of the caller: Kim Heechul.   Changmin knew Heechul as one of Siwon's closest friends. He also knew, for a fact, that Heechul has a tendency to be relatively annoying and pursuant at times. And judging by the incessant ringing of his hyung's cellular phone, today is an example of that particular time.   He has no choice but to answer the phone.   "Hello, Hee---" but he was immediately cut off, as expected, as Heechul started on with his litany.   "Yah! What took you so long to answer the phone? Are you mulling over your lost love again, which technically isn't lost because she was never yours in the first place? Haha! Okay, no need to answer. Anyway, I'm here to tell you that I've plotted the perfect escape plan for you to forget your pathetic love life. Geng called from China and he told me everything's set for your emergency holiday. He has prepared everything and all we need is for your sorry to get over there. I'm coming along of course because I'm pretty sure you need much of my counseling and therapeutic skills so you can forget about Tiffany and Changmin's wedding. But for the record, I'm not in anyway accountable if you feel your emotional symptoms coming back again when you return. Just to make it clear my friend. After all, we haven't failed to remind you that in this life you have to make things go your way. As for now, let's put a break on your emo lifestyle. Don't worry there's still a lot of fish in the sea. But really, Tiffany's a good catch. Hahaha! I kid! Just chill, okay? Okay? Hey! Yah! Choi Siwon! Hey, are you still there? Aish! Just call me back when you're fine. Bye! And oh, STOP BEING EMO!" That and the line went dead.   Changmin realized that he hasn't been breathing the whole time Heechul was talking. He felt his body go limp as reality dawned unto him.   He remembered the shocked (and hurt?) expression on his hyung's face when he learned about the engagement. Then all the pieces started coming together. How he has caught, more than often, Siwon's stolen glances towards Tiffany. How his hyung would always find a reason so as not to be with Tiffany at the same place at the same time. How Siwon seems quieter and more reserved when Tiffany's around.   "So for all this time, he's been trying his best not to let his emotions show." Changmin sat limply on the couch, his hand still clutching the phone.   He breathed out deeply and tried to assess everything that is happening. The wedding. His passive reaction to it. Siwon's unrequited love...   "Min?" He looked up upon hearing his mother's voice. "Yes, umma?"   "Have you seen y
