Kyuhyun fiddles with his button. And stares at his reflection for a good ten seconds before scratching the back of his head and heading towards his room.

"Kyuhyun, I swear the mirror's going to break with you staring at your reflection for the past two hours. And the closet's going to burn down and your body's going to melt with you changing your clothes for the fiftieth time today.", Heechul exclaims loudly.

"Stop being so cranky early in the morning Chullie-hyung. The number of times I've changed and the amount of time I spent looking at the mirror today is nothing compared to yours.", Kyuhyun shouts from his room.

"When he does not want me to pry, he starts using the word 'hyung'. I hate myself for making it work every time." Heechul mutters. "He's lucky I love him or else.."

"I love you too, hyung." Kyuhyun says to Heechul's ear and adds a kiss on the cheek for emphasis.

Heechul jumps at the contact then smiles. He pats Kyuhyun's head affectionately before shoving him gently and saying, "I know. That's half the reason why I put up with a brat like you." And then he eyes Kyuhyun's 50^th outfit for today.

"And the other half's because you love me, isn't it?" Kyuhyun says, amused.

"So, why are you trying so hard to make yourself more gorgeous than you already are? You take after my looks you know so no effort is needed. Just saying."

Kyuhyun does not miss the subtly said compliment and he quickly hugs Heechul. "This is why I love you."

"And I.. think I have a date?", Kyuhyun says in an unsure tone.

"Why didn't you say so?!"

Then Kyuhyun sees Heechul running to his room and he comes out holding clothes which he places in Kyuhyun's hands. Heechul doesn't say a word and just pushes Kyuhyun towards the bathroom.

A few minutes later.....

"Ummm. Heechul-ah.," Kyuhyun starts.

"Just change Kyuhyun and come out when you're done." Heechul says.

Kyuhyun turns the knob, hesitating for a second before stepping out.

Heechul looks at Kyuhyun and says "Perfect!" and claps his hands since Heechul believes that 'Actions speak louder than words.'

Kyuhyun peers at Heechul and gestures towards his outfit. "Is this really necessary? I'm only going to the cafe to buy coffee."

"What?! What kind of date is that?", Heechul says in a shocked and I-wanna-choke-that-guy tone.

"Okay. So maybe it isn't a date but more of a second meeting with a newly made friend...?"

"Well. After meeting you the second time looking like this, I doubt he wouldn't be looking for tickets to go to a country where he can get married to you.", Heechul says in a serious tone.

Kyuhyun blushes and says, "I think I'll go change."

Heechul pulls him back and says, "Oh no you won't! Now let's get your make-up done."

"What?! I don't want to.."

"It will only just be a light application of eyeliner and lipgloss okay? Nothing else." Heechul says.

"I promise.", he adds when he sees Kyuhyun raising his eyebrows at him.

"I swear on my relationship with Hangeng. Happy now?", Heechul says with an exaggerated sigh.

Kyuhyun smiles and nods. Heechul pinches his cheeks in response.

******

Kyuhyun watches as Heechul waves goodbye to him. He shakes his head and waves goodbye as well before muttering a 'Thank you'.

Suddenly, he feels his phone vibrate and sees that Kibum sent him a text.

                Kyuhyun-ah. Want to accompany hyung today?

                Can't.

                What? Why? :'(

                I have a date.

                With whom? :O

                None of your business.

                KYUHYUN

                KYUHYUN

                Answer hyung properly.                              

                KYUHYUN-AH!!

Kyuhyun hides his phone in his pocket and ignores Kibum's messages. ’I have more pressing matters to handle, Kibum-ah. I'll talk to you later.', Kyuhyun thinks.

Suddenly, Kyuhyun sees his reflection in the mirror. His eyes widen. Then he remembers his conversation with Heechul.

"Don't you think this is too much?", Kyuhyun says unsurely.

"What do you mean? Of course not. You look just fine." Heechul says.

"Heechul, he saw how I usually dress already. This is different from it."

"Kyuhyun-ah. He only saw it once. You could say you were practicing and they were your 'For-Practice' clothes." Heechul does not add the word 'Duh!' but Kyuhyun could practically hear it in his voice.

And apparently, Heechul wasn't done. "What if you went to the cafe wearing a suit? Is that how you normally dress  then? Is that what he will think?"

Kyuhyun shakes his head and doesn't retort just because he doesn't want to make Heechul angry. He just hugs Heechul to calm him down. And Heechul does. End of conversation.

As Kyuhyun stares at his reflection he thinks, 'Still Heechul.. I think this is a bit too much.' and Kyuhyun can only sigh as he continues his way towards the cafe.

*********

Changmin keeps on glancing at the door. He can't keep still waiting for Kyuhyun to come. The door opens and out comes..

A businessman..

 followed by Kyuhyun.

'Finally'. Changmin thinks.

He locks eyes with Kyuhyun and motions for him to sit on a table. He then quickly checks his reflection on the counter before taking an already prepared Caramel Macchiato and a slice of red velvet cake, all taken from his salary. He makes his way towards Kyuhyun and places them on the table.

"On the house. Well, technically on me. But who cares?" And Changmin wanted to smack himself for being flustered and saying such unnecessary stuff.

Kyuhyun laughs and it calms Changmin and makes his knees go weak. Changmin then noticed how Kyuhyun looks today and was about to compliment him when he saw how the other customers looked at Kyuhyun too.

He mutters a quick "I'll be right back" to Kyuhyun before heading towards his manager's office and asking for a break. His manager was confused but complies. Changmin was one of his best workers. He deserves a break anyway.

Changmin then makes his way towards Kyuhyun's table but not without passing by the tables of the erts leering at his Kyuhyun and giving each of them a glare that scared them out of their wits.

After finishing his evil plan, he finally reaches Kyuhyun's table and takes his destined seat.

***********

Kyuhyun wanted to cry right there and then. He noticed the expression on Changmin's face earlier when he glanced at what Kyuhyun was wearing. 'He hated it. It was obvious. I saw it in his eyes. I did tell Heechul-hyung this was too much.', Kyuhyun sadly thinks.

And before he could wallow in more self-pity, he finds Changmin sitting in front of him.

"I asked for a break.", Changmin says and he stares at Kyuhyun intently.

Kyuhyun finds this too awkward and just hurtful because he knows Changmin hates how he's dressed right now.

'He probably think s I'm too desperate. Or worse, I'm a trying to seduce him on our first date. UWAAAH. Umma, I wanna cry and have you hug me right now.', Kyuhyun cries in his head.

Changmin finally breaks the silence and says, "Do you usually dress like this?"

Kyuhyun gains a control of his thoughts and wonders if he heard Changmin right the first time. "Wha.. What?"

"Do you usually dress like this? All y, charming, tight, and HOT?", Changmin says in a serious tone.

"Are you usually this frank?", Kyuhyun says, annoyed. 'Did he just compliment me or was he being sarcastic and insulting?', Kyuhyun silently asks himself.

"I asked you first."

"Fine. What if it is?", Kyuhyun says in a challenging tone.

"Well, stop."

"Wha.. Who are you to tell me what to do?", Kyuhyun asks, shell-shocked from the other's demanding and straightforward answers.

"I'm going to be your future lover and I don't want you dressing up like this cause everybody's staring at you.", Changmin says, a little bit too loudly.

Kyuhyun blushes at Changmin's words and asks, "So what if they're staring at me?"

"I don't like them to stare at you."

"And why is that?"

"Be.. Because.."

"Because what?"

Changmin blushes and he couldn't believe that he's being broken down into this kind of man. "I'm.. I'm jealous, okay?"

And Kyuhyun smiles as he sees Changmin blush.

"Well, I'm glad. And by the way, I don't dress like this.. Hee.. Heechul-hyung dressed me up.", Kyuhyun says, cheeks lightly colored with pink. 'Oh great! I just admitted that I prepared more than I normally would for today.', he thinks.

But Changmin doesn't care about that though his heart sings at the knowledge. He focuses on the more important part, well to him anyway. "Heechul-hyung? Who is he?", he asks, jealousy evident in his voice.

Kyuhyun, a dense person at times, oblivious to Changmin's jealousy says, "He's the person I live with. He's very special to me."

"Do you, by any chance, like him?", Changmin asks.

Kyuhyun starts laughing. "Me? Like Heechul? Of course not. Hahaha. That'll be something! Hahaha. He's like an Umma to me.", Kyuhyun says in between giggles.

Changmin ignores the feeling Kyuhyun's laughter gives him. He still has more questions to ask. "Well.. Do you think he likes you then?"

And that's when a lightbulb clicks in Kyuhuyun's head. "Are you by any chance, jealous of Chullie?", Kyuhyun asks in a shocked, amused, and mischievous tone. How he was able to do it, only Kyuhun knows.

 "No.. Of.. Of course not! I was just doing a survey. A survey!", Changmin says, refusing to swallow any more of his pride.

"Well, if you.. YOUR SURVEY must know, Heechul-hyung is in a happy relationship with Hangeng-hyung. We don't love each other that way. That's.. That's just .", Kyuhyun says in a disgusted tone.

"If you say so.."

Kyuhyun laughs then he drags his chair and sits beside Changmin.

"Look. You have nothing to worry about. I'm single and I like you."

Kyuhyun's shocked by his own braveness but he thinks it's all worth it when he sees Changmin smile and take a hold of his hand.

"Well, you won't be single for long. Kyuhyun-ah want to be mine?", Changmin asks.

"Changmin. You should know by now that a gorgeous man like me would not easily say 'No' to such an unromantic confession, right? Heechul-hyung told me so.", Kyuhyun says, all gorgeously and proud. He even adds in a smirk which Changmin would like to wipe out... probably with a kiss.

And he does. He sees Kyuhyun's smug expression being replaced by shock and then a very, very, obvious blush.

"Well then. I guess I'll have to work harder.", Changmin says.

He then takes Kyuhyun's hands and leads him out of the cafe. All the while, showing to everyone there that Kyuhyun was HIS and that they better STAY AWAY. Nobody missed the underlying threat.

********

Changmin then sends Kibum a picture of Kyuhyun with the caption,

"Kibum-ah. Don't be mad anymore. Here's my lover. Cho Kyuhyun <3"

"You want another picture? Well, this was when he sang for me. He has a great voice. So sweet like honey. After the song, I and called him 'Honey'. He blushed like the color of cherry blossoms. So cute."

"Here's another.  Isn't he cute, Kibum-ah?"

"Forgive me now please. Kyuhyun says that you should forgive me. Can you say 'NO' to this face?"

Changmin waits for a few seconds and does not receive any reply from Kibum. He decides to just give Kyuhyun a call. He answers on the third ring.

"Kyuhhyun-ah. Annyeong!"

"Hello, Minnie."

Changmin smiles at the nickname. "Cho Kyuhyun, I love you. Saraghae."

"Yah Shim! Do you really have to be this cheesy even on the phone?"

"What's wrong with it? I know you like it!", Changmin teases.

"Hahaha. Yes. I do. A lot. Happy?"

"Very!", Changmin shouts.

Suddenly, Changmin remembers something.

"Hey Kyu. Remember when you told me you know a despicable Kibum as well. Who's he?"

"Oh! Kim Kibum. My brother.", Kyuhyun says in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Wha.. Kim Kibum? Your brother? Ho.. How?"

"Yup. Technically, he's my stepbrother but who cares about technicalities? He loves Starcraft like I do. He's a serious and cold person most of the time but he acts all clingy to me. He's my clingy overprotective brother. He's very despicable.", and Changmin could hear the adoration in Kyuhyun's voice though he insults his brother. And technically, he complimented his brother more than he insulted him.

'But that's not the current issue right now.', Changmin thinks.

"Kyuhyun, by any chance, does your brother have jet-black hair and loves acting?", Changmin asks hoping the answer would be 'No'.

"Yup. I'll send you a picture of him. Just you wait. Why? What's wrong?"

"The problem is your Kibum and my Kibum might just be the same person and I accidentally sent him photos of you with captions saying you're my lover.", Changmin says in a nervous tone.

"WHAT?! Are you serious Shim Changmin?", Kyuhyun asks, shell-shocked.

"Maybe.", Changmin says, fear laced in his voice.

Kyuhyun always the voice of reason says, "Check first the picture I'll be sending you and call me back after you do."

Kyuhyun ends the call and sends him the picture.

Changmin takes a look at it and YES. It's Kim Kibum. His bestfriend Kim Kibum. Kyuhyun's stepbrother Kim Kibum. '. I'm dead.', Changmin thinks.

He quickly dials Kyuhyun's number and asks, "What do I do now, Kyu? It's HIM."

"I can only tell you to lock your doors and windows. Don't answer any calls you suspect to be Kibum's. Don't reply to any of his messages. I'll try to calm my brother down."

"You didn't tell him about.. about us?", Changmin says in a hurt tone.

"I didn't because I know he's gonna kill you. He scared my friend Siwon in kindergarten when the boy kissed me on the cheek. He made Siwon transfer to another school. He punched Zhou Mi, my suitor in elementary. Zhou Mi got sent to the hospital. Kibum visited him and we all found out the following day that he went back to China. And in highschool, let's just say that the bully who fell for me stopped being a bully and stopped falling for me. Now, do you understand why I didn't tell him?"

Changmin gulps and says a short "Yes."

"Look. Don't worry Changmin-ah. I'll find a way to calm my brother down. Just.. Just don't..." And Changmin hears the uncertainty in Kyuhyun's voice.

"Just don't what Kyuhyun? Tell me.", Changmin says all fear for Kibum lost when he hears something wrong in Kyuhyun's voice.

"Just.. Just don't give up on me, okay?"

Changmin smiles and says, "I won't. I shall not. I don't plan to. I never will. Even if you have a battalion of brothers named Kim Kibum. I shall never ever give up on you."

And Changmin can feel Kyuhyun's worry disappear. But just to be sure, he adds, "I love you Kyuhyun-ah."

"Love you too, Min."

And with that, they end their  call.

Changmin then returns to the world which fears Kim Kibum. "What should I do? What should I do?", Changmin mutters to himself. He starts locking his windows and doors. He makes sure there's no other way in. After making sure, he returns to his bedroom and locks the door.

"I'll.. I'll.. I'll just ignore and avoid him then. For Kyu. All for Kyu.", Changmin utters like a mantra.

And with those words, Changmin closes his eyes and holds a bat in his right hand and a pan on the other. Just to be sure. Just to be sure.

***********

"Changmin. You little . How dare you take away my baby's innocence?", Kibum fumes. (What Kibum doesn't know was that Heechul was doing a fine job of that all by himself. None of the ual things though. That's Changmin's job. In the future. *Wink**Wink*.)

" And you dare not answer my calls and messages? Well. We'll see about that.", Kibum mutters to himself.

Kibum climbs Changmin's wall and tries to open Changmin's bedroom window but to no avail. "Damn. Locked!"

Kibum peers in and notices that Changmin was holding a bat on his right hand. "And is that a pan on his left? Well, I guess Changmin prepared himself. I'll come back another time. Just you wait Shim Changmin. Just you wait!"

***********

Kibum returns to his apartment and turns on his computer.

"AAARGH! I CAN'T CONCENTRATE. YOU SHIM CHANGMIN. HOW DARE YOU! I WILL RUIN YOU FOR RUINING MY BABY. I'LL SHIP YOU OFF TO CHINA. NO! I'LL SHIP YOU OFF TO TIMBUKTU. OR BETTER YET, I'LL SHIP YOU OFF TO AFRICA SO THAT YOU'LL GET EATEN BY THE LIONS. DIE SHIM CHANGMIN! DIE"

Kibum tries to play Starcraft but even murdering any character he sees does not do anything to clear him of his anger. He then gets an idea. He creates a new character and names him "ShimChangmin". He makes the character kill himself in just a few seconds. Kibum feels a bit of happiness and repeats the process over and over again.

'Changmin you idiot. I'll make sure you starve to death for taking my BabyKyu away. I hope you fall off your bed and hit your head with your bat.'

*****

Changmin suddenly falls off his bed. And before he could get up, he sees his bat falling from his bed and towards his head.

BONK!

Changmin gets knocked unconscious.

THE END.
