Although Kyuhyun and Zhoumi were on good terms now, they only shared a few simple greetings; a hi or hello, a slight wave of a hand, a little eye contact and small smiles.

Then Kyuhyun and Donghae started hanging out more with each other.  Zhoumi could see Donghae's similarity to Sungmin and Ryeowook, so Zhoumi decided to speak to Kyuhyun about it.

"I know, Zhoumi.  Thanks for the concern but even if I do like Donghae, I'm not going to start a relationship with him,"  Kyuhyun reassured Zhoumi.  "How else am I going to be independent if I start relying on someone so soon?"

"But if you really do like him, you might regret not getting into a relationship with him."  Zhoumi pointed out, contradicting his earlier advice.

"I only said if I like him.  I didn't say I like him for real."  Kyuhyun clarified.

"Oh, okay."

"You sound relieved."

"I'm.... just feeling relief for Sungmin."

Kyuhyun laughed.  Zhoumi was stunned to hear Kyuhyun's laughter.  He hadn't heard it since Sungmin fell into coma.  Kyuhyun had always been a dark cloud but now, he seems to be Mr. Sunshine again.  Also, Kyuhyun used to be sensitive every time Zhoumi mentions Sungmin's name, but now, he doesn't seem to mind at all.

"Speaking of Sungmin, want to visit him together later?"  Kyuhyun asked when he managed to stop laughing and catch his breath.

"Yeah, sure."  Zhoumi answered instantly without any space for hesitancy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They didn't speak anything to each other as they went on their way to Sungmin's grave.  They brought Sungmin's favorite pink flowers and matching candles.  When they got there, they cleaned Sungmin's tombstone and prayed silently.  After praying, they made their way back to the cemetery entrace in silence.

Then Kyuhyun finally broke the silence.  "I'm actually considering being in a relationship with someone, but not now - I'm not ready yet."

"Then you should at least inform him of how you feel, then you would know if you'll be rejected or if he'll be willing to wait for you,"  Zhoumi started to feel sad after knowing that there's actually somebody that Kyuhyun likes.  It's probably Donghae.

"I know that you will wait for me."

Zhoumi's mind took a bit longer to process what Kyuhyun just said to him.  "Wait... you want me to wait for you?  Not Donghae?"

Kyuhyun raised an eyebrow.  "I thought I made it clear earlier that I don't like him."

Zhoumi's mind finally caught up with Kyuhyun's words and he couldn't believe that this was happening.  Kyuhyun was finally noticing him and starting to return back his feelings.

"Will you wait for me, Zhoumi?"  Kyuhyun asked, making sure to emphasize Zhoumi's name.

"Why ask that question?  You already said my answer earlier."

Kyuhyun smirked.  "Yeah.  I know that you will wait for me."  His hand reaching out to hold Zhoumi's hand as they walked side by side.
