Meet My other Brother
My oppa, Lee SungminMiyoung POV:
"How could you do this to us?" He raged. "We were all so worried about you!"
"I--"
"If you wanted a break from us, you should've said something."
"No, I--"
"You what?"
"It's Sungmin," I said. "He...he doesn't want me at the dorm, so...I wanted to make things easier for him and all."
"No, Miyoung. I'm sure Sungmin doesn't want that--"
"He does," I insisted. "I saw it."
"Saw what?"
"His diary."
Leeteuk smirked. "He has a diary?"
I nodded. "And...he wrote that I'm a nuisance, so..."
"You decided to run away," he finished.
I nodded, looking down.
"I...don't know what to say, Miyoung, but I'm sure he doesn't mean it."
"What else could he mean?" I replied. "There is no room for interpretation."

Someone called my name. Jin was in the bathroom, and I was waiting for him outside. I looked up, expecting to see another Super Junior member in front of me, but no. No. It was another boy.
"Jonghyun!" I cheered, jumping off the bench.
Lee Jonghyun, also known as CNBLUE's Jonghyun, and I grew up together after Sungmin left. I met him by accident in an alleyway on my way home from school. He carried his guitar with him, even then. Jonghyun sat, strumming his guitar mindlessly, and I couldn't help but be captivated by the tune.
"Hi!" I exclaimed, sitting down next to him.
He scoffed. "A child like you shouldn't be here."
"I'm not a child."
"You sure look like one. What is a person like you doing at this time of day?"
"Returning home from school."
"Hm."
"I like your sound."
"Thanks."
And ever since then, Jonghyun and I got to know each other, and he became a close friend and brother-like figure to me. Of course, he too went out for auditions, trying to get into an entertainment company, and he did.
I never told Sungmin about Jonghyun because, well, I found no need to.
"What are you doing here?" I smiled.
"I was bored."
At that point, Jin came out of the restroom, running back to my side. "Who's this?"
"Ah! This," I gestured toward Jonghyun, "Is Jonghyun. He's a cool guy."

At the end of the day, I thought about the various events of the day. First, my meeting with Leeteuk. Leeteuk was always a voice of reason, even in the short time I knew him. If there was a possibility--even the smallest one--that Sungmin didn't think of me as a bother, I would gladly believe it.
Second, my meeting with Jonghyun made me recall the rough time between Sungmin's departure and my trip to America.
In short, I want to return to Super Junior.
