"And now! Its time for our favourite angelic voice to return to the stage! Cho Kyuhyun's comeback, Late Autumn!" The host of the music show screamed through the microphone, to hype up the atmosphere. Fangirls screaming for Kyuhyun, when he was getting ready on stage.

The set up on the stage, was a background of a park with a fake autumn tree and leaves on the ground, a very romantic set up. Kyuhyun was waving at the fangirls when he was standing by for the cue to start. Just when the lights dim as the music started to play, Kyuhyun kept his smile, to put himself into the mood for the ballad.

When he opened his mouth to sing, all eyes were on him, no one dared to utter a word, so worried that their unnecessary noise will spoil the romantic feel with his angelic singing voice. Fangirls waving the sapphire blue balloons, the official colour for Kyuhyun's fanclub, totally absorbed in his singing that swooned them off their seats.

Including the one in Kyuhyun's waiting room. That particular one in black and white suit, supposingly to be Kyuhyun's bodyguard. But right now, he isn't the cool-looking bodyguard that will deliver death glare when he was doing his protecting duty. At the moment when Kyuhyun started to sing from the TV monitor in the waiting room, the bodyguard glued his eyes on the monitor, with his eyes and mouth widened, and his heart pumped even faster than usual.

He can imagine himself, date with Kyuhyun at a park with such set up, romantic with autumn leaves falling upon them, strolling down the autumn trees, and Kyuhyun singing to him...

"Oh.my.Kyu..." Siwon muttered, with his hand clenched on his chest, "Do you have to beat so fast, damn it?"

Just then, a flash on the audience caught Siwon's sharp eyes, where a certain fanboy waving the blue balloon along with the song, yet, his eyes were burning with fury. That is not the way a fan should act, isn't it? However, before Siwon could focus more on the features of the fanboy, the camera turned back to the singing Kyuhyun, which once again making his heart pumped like a crazy running horse.

When Kyuhyun got back to the waiting room, he found Siwon chatting happily with Leeteuk. And it was getting on his nerves.

This bodyguard is getting so much closer to his manager. And though he hated the fact that Siwon was his sunbae and was the only one who witnessed that worst and most embarrassed incident of his life ever, he can't throw a fits to fire Siwon. Siwon has been doing a great job in the past one month, in fact even much better than the previous 10 bodyguards. Taller and well-built body that look intimidating enough, good reflex, sharp observation, cold death glare if needed to scare people off, always able to make his way through his fans with Siwon's help (by holding tightly on Kyuhyun's waist and moved together), and Leeteuk seems to like this bodyguard a lot.

Tsk... What kind of bodyguard is this? Flirting with my manager, SO OPENLY! Where is your professional? Kyuhyun couldn't help feeling sour. Is he MY bodyguard or hyung's bodyguard?

"Oh you are back, Kyuhyun ah! Let me get Henry, then we can move on to another schedule. We are going for a radio interview, at SSTP. Ahh talking about that, maybe I should go get some snacks for Shindong." Leeteuk held out his phone to punch Henry's number, while mumbling to himself on his way out.

Silence falls in the room, with Leeteuk's absence. Kyuhyun still feeling rather pissed with the bodyguard, he ignored Siwon and slammed himself on the sofa and took out his PSP from his bag. Siwon arched his eyebrows, seeing Kyuhyun's weird reaction.

Usually, he would start a bicker with me...

Sensing the weird atmosphere, Kyuhyun looked up from his PSP and stared at the bodyguard.

"Yah, what are you staring at?"

"Oh, you noticed me. I thought I have mastered the skill of invisibility." Siwon smirked.

"Ha ha. Try harder next time sunbae, you are NOT funny at all." Kyuhyun returned his attention to his PSP.

Siwon sat next to Kyuhyun, shoulder touching Kyuhyun's shoulder briefly. Kyuhyun jerked with the intimacy, but remained his poker face.

"Say, Kyuhyun hoobae. Do you really hate me this much?" Siwon asked, "Did I messed up with my duties? Am I not doing a good job in protecting you?"

Kyuhyun ignored his bodyguard and continued with his PSP.

Having no response from Kyuhyun, Siwon continued, "I know I..we had some....awkward incident before in high school. But that wasn't my fault entirely. And it wasn't my fault as well, when you accidentally flashed your pale looking thi....."

"YAH CHOI SIWON! STOP IT!" Kyuhyun raised his head, only to find his face was just inches away from Siwon's face. Damn it! Does he has to come so close to me?!

Kyuhyun cleared his throat before he continued, "Yah, I did not want, I repeat, DID NOT WANT to hear any of that incident. You should forget that too! Are you a ert, recalling....my exposure?!"

"ert? Oh, so now I AM a ert." Siwon couldn't help but chuckled.

"YAH look at you! Are you supposed to act like this?! Is this how a bodyguard should act as? Coming so close to me, when OBVIOUSLY, there is no danger here. Or flirting with my manager, chit chatting so happily with him..."

Siwon widened his eyes, me? Flirting with Leeteuk hyung? Kyuhyun ah, what on earth makes you think that?

Kyuhyun pouted as he continued with his PSP. This expression however, amused Siwon very much. Is he...pouting...at me? Oh god... My heart...STOP BEATING! No no no I will die if I stop beating... I mean STOP BEATING THIS FAST!

Siwon moved a little away from Kyuhyun, trying hard to rearrange his facial expression.

"Well... I didn't know you care about me this much, that you will feel JEALOUS about me TALKING, mind you, not FLIRTING, with Leeteuk hyung. You could have say out, you know, that you need MY attention too. But oh well, if you want me to show my professionalism, I will do it then, Kyuhyun-shi. I will be where danger might occur, which is outside of this room. You never know if there is any crazy fan waiting for you out there." Then, Siwon stood up and stepped out the room, to guard outside, without noticing Kyuhyun's jaws dropped with his statement. He cannot stand any longer with Kyuhyun in the same room. He might just step over the professional line and pounce on Kyuhyun, not controlling his inner beast...

"YAH! WHAT JEALOUS! SINCE WHEN AM I JEALOUS?! YOU ARE TOO FULL OF YOURSELF, CHOI SIWON! AISHHHHHHH!" Kyuhyun flared up right after the door was closed. And Siwon, who heard the outburst from Kyuhyun, his body was shaking real hard with his controlled laughters.

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

"So now is the time you have been waiting for, or rather the fangirls out there. Lets welcome, CHO KYUHYUN!! WOOOHOOOO!!" Shindong, the host for the radio show SSTP, clapped hard for the entrance of Kyuhyun.

"Hello to all the listeners. I am Cho Kyuhyun. Annyeong!" Kyuhyun spoke with a very bright mood.

"Yah Kyuhyun ah, welcome back! This is your 2nd mini album comeback right? I believe that a lot of the girls out there can't wait for your comeback! When is your physical album......" And so, the interview started.

Good that Kyuhyun's sulky mood was replaced with this bright mood, soon after they reached the radio station. Leeteuk was on the verge of breaking down, when he saw the flaming Kyuhyun stomping everywhere he goes, like a little spoilt brat. And he was punching hard on his PSP in the van, sulking all the way. He tried to get some answers from Siwon, but Siwon was on his poker face, serious as ever, not showing any hints what had happened in the waiting room after Leeteuk stepped out.

While Siwon standing next to Leeteuk, looking rather serious. He was worried...because he spotted something odd among the crowd of fans when they reached the radio station....

Two hours ago at the entrance of the radio station

The moment Siwon stepped out of the van, he scanned the surroundings, and signaling the fans to make a way for Kyuhyun. The fans were already used to see this handsome bodyguard following Kyuhyun everywhere he goes, they will automatically create a pave for Kyuhyun whenever they saw Siwon. They did not want to have a treat of the coldest ever death glares from Siwon. They could feel bullets shooting from his cold eyes, hitting on them hard.

Once the procedure was done, Siwon pulled Kyuhyun out. As usual, screams and shouts started to siren the whole entrance of the station. The sulky Kyuhyun was not in the mood to wave and smile at his fans, so he faced down the moment he stepped out of the vehicle.

Siwon was following closely beside him, eyes were scanning around still. To be a professional bodyguard, at all times, he has to be alert and observant. So when he saw a person standing among the fans, his sensitive senses all came into his mind. This fanboy, looks rather familiar... Though he was among the fans holding a supportive banner, his eyes were rather murderous, there isn't any slight happiness like those fans when they see their idols close up.

Just then, Siwon remembered, the music show earlier! This fanboy was there too!

Siwon couldn't help but feeling very protective. Especially, when it comes to Kyuhyun. He will not let anyone to hurt Kyuhyun, HIS Kyuhyun!

So, he grabbed Kyuhyun's waist and pulled him closer. Kyuhyun was shocked by the grab, he sprang his head up and frowned at Siwon. And he did remembered warning Siwon about this, that he should tell beforehand when he is doing this. With such close context once more, Kyuhyun could smell the manly cologne from Siwon, so fresh and...y...

Siwon somehow understood from Kyuhyun's frown, so he whispered under his breath, "Don't be mad with me now. Something is not right here. Just stay close with me."

Seeing the seriousness of his bodyguard, Kyuhyun nodded and moved closely with Siwon. And that somehow brighten his mood a little... He don't know why, but he felt rather safe in Siwon's arms.

Then once they were inside the station, Siwon released his arms, and turned around to face the entrance, fearing that the suspicious fanboy will follow in. Kyuhyun could feel the lack of warmth with Siwon removing his arms from his waist. When the door closed shutting the fans away, Siwon heaved a sigh of relief.

"What was that about?" Kyuhyun was curious with the sudden serious atmosphere.

In order not to create stress for Kyuhyun without knowing the situation himself, Siwon decided to keep it from Kyuhyun at the moment.

"From now on, just be close to me when we move from places to places. I will let you know when I get the bottom of everything." Siwon spoke in a real serious manner, that Kyuhyun did not dare to bicker at all. Something serious is happening huh?

Kyuhyun nodded, which totally caught Siwon off-guard, expecting him to argue.

"You do trust me, right?" Siwon smiled, flashing his dimpled smile.

Dazzled by his bodyguard's dimpled smile, Kyuhyun nodded once again, without thinking twice. However, his mood was lifted a little, smiling as he walked further in the radio station.

Present

And so, Siwon was standing at the radio control room where he was viewing the interview through the glass window with Leeteuk. Siwon couldn't help thinking about the scary-looking fanboy. Either that fanboy is a sicko, or he has some hidden agenda, that Siwon did not dare to imagine. Someone wants to hurt Kyuhyun, that is not what he wants to forsee...

"Hyung," Siwon called out for Leeteuk, "Does Kyuhyun has any enemy that you are aware of?"

"Enemy? What makes you think that?" Leeteuk arched his eyebrows.

"Just want to find out more about him, which will make my job easier as well."

Leeteuk nodded, "Understandable. Well, you do know he has a rather...foul temper at times, behaving like a spoilt brat. But he is a nice boy overall. Though his mouth can be evil at people, but he meant no harms. So I don't think he has any enemy, at least not that I know of."

"But there should be an incident that happened to him, which required a personal bodyguard following him around, right?"

"Oh, Kangin did not tell you what happened previously?" Leeteuk was a little surprised.

Siwon shook his head, "No. I was in a hurry to return back when I got a call from him, for a new protection duty. So I guessed he left out some important details. He did mentioned Kyuhyun always got harassed by some fans, but nothing too serious except...his was being grabbed and squeezed before..."

"And that is supposed to be the most important detail. This Kangin. Always so muddlehead." Leeteuk laughed a little at his own joke.

"Well..." Leeteuk started again, "The incident happened a few months ago, when he was having promotion with KRY. After one of their performances, Kyuhyun was being attacked while moving towards the carpark. Someone from the crowd threw stones at him. One of the stones hit directly on his forehead, and it bleed instantly. Kyuhyun was so shocked with the sudden attack, that he fainted on the spot."

Siwon clenched his fists. So there is someone who did hurt Kyuhyun before. How dare that person...

"However, we did not catch the culprit, as it was too crowded, with fans surrounding him. We sent him to the hospital immediately to snitch up the wound. Kyuhyun did not take it to heart, thinking it must be some kind of accident. So we kind of ignore it, but it happened again the following week. The fortunate thing is that, the person missed the aim, and the stones were smashed on the glass door where Kyuhyun stepped out from." Leeteuk recalled.

"And that person was not caught?" Siwon asked.

Leeteuk shook his head, "Nope. It was once again too crowded, and fans were screaming when the glass door was smashed. Kyuhyun got a shock as well, and the glass shards cut his hands little, but nothing too serious. That was when we decided to get a bodyguard for him."

And that person...is still out there... Siwon frowned to himself. That person might be that fanboy!

"Since then we got the bodyguard to follow Kyuhyun, that person somehow disappeared. Nothing serious happened to Kyuhyun after the throwing of stones, but we have to be cautious. But Kyuhyun was making a big fuss, he did not want to have a bodyguard following him, thinking that it made him feel like he is a weak person. So he kept pin-pointing at all the bodyguards assigned to him. All the ten bodyguards couldn't stand his foul mouth, so they gave up. That idiot..." Leeteuk sighed.

"Don't worry, hyung. I will not leave, no matter how foul his mouth is." Siwon promised. He will never leave Kyuhyun, not with someone out there who is waiting to hurt Kyuhyun...

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

They were on the way back to Kyuhyun's dorm. Siwon insisted in following, still worried about the mysterious fanboy. Kyuhyun was sleeping soundly in the vehicle, exhausted after a long day of schedules. Leeteuk was running through the schedules for the next day with Kyuhyun initially, but Kyuhyun just dozed off, feeling way too comfortable having his head laid on the head rest.

Kyuhyun was still sleeping when they reached his dorm. Couldn't bear to wake the over-exhausted Kyuhyun, Siwon decided to carry Kyuhyun back home.

"But Siwon ah, this is not within your job..." Leeteuk doesn't want to burden Siwon, and to spoil Kyuhyun further.

"Its ok hyung. I can handle this." And he opened the door from Kyuhyun's side, and gently scooped Kyuhyun in his arms. He carried Kyuhyun in bridal style, and moved swiftly to the elevator of the dorm.

Leeteuk was dumbstruck, to see a strong Siwon who is able to carry a heavy grown up, and the gentle side of this bodyguard. 

Kyuhyun was still sleeping soundly, and even snuggled in Siwon's chest in his sleeping mode when they were in the elevator. That was one real awkward moment for Leeteuk as he did not know how to respond to such situation.

"Here it is." A minute in the elevator seems like a year, Leeteuk finally stepped out and breathed properly...

He opened the door, and was greeted by...

"Hyung! You are back!" Changmin smiled brightly at Leeteuk, "I was thinking of going down to buy supper, would you want some too?"

"Is ok, I am going home after..."

"SIWON SUNBAE?! Why are you carrying Kyuhyun like this?!" Changmin had his jaws dropped when he saw Siwon carrying Kyuhyun behind Leeteuk, "Is he hurt?!"

Siwon was stunned by the shout, but soon he got his sense back and shook his head, "No, he was just sleeping. And...do I know you?"

"Yah, can we talk inside? You need to put Kyuhyun down, Siwon ah." Leeteuk removed his shoes and stepped info dorm, ushering Siwon to move in.

"Sorry for the interruption." Knowing his manners, Siwon bowed and moved in with Kyuhyun still in his arms. He must be damn tired, was still able to sleep soundly in Siwon's arms.

Siwon placed Kyuhyun gently on his bed, and Kyuhyun immediately turned to the side to snuggle the bolster on his bed. What a cute sight to witness....

"Siwon sunbae, you are still looking so good." Changmin pat on Siwon's shoulder, "And wow, you are even working with Kyuhyun! He is a pain in an , right? Haha!"

"You call me sunbae, does that means, I attended the same school as you?"

"Yeah, I am Kyuhyun's best friend from high school. I am Shim Changmin. I am a singer too, but I am part of a duo team." Changmin smiled, "And I heard a lot of your achievements during our school days. You are sure one popular figure in high school!"

"If you know me, then why Kyuhyun don't know..." 

Changmin sighed, "Ahhh that. Never mind him. He is one anti-social brat. He doesn't know anyone else in school except me. Always busy with trainings and studies, and nothing else matters to him. Even when......"

"Changmin ah! Aren't we supposed to buy supper? Oh Teuk hyung, you are here...." An unfamiliar voice encored the living room, calling for Changmin.

"Aishhhhh ya! Supper! Coming Yunho hyung!!" Changmin ran, but he stopped and turned around to Siwon, "Sorry sunbae, please take care of Kyuhyun. Don't see him like a brat that he always portrays, he is actually a nice chap. Keep protecting him, will you?" And he left Siwon alone in the room with the sleeping Kyuhyun.

Siwon turned his attention back to Kyuhyun. His sleeping look is so....endearing...adorable... Kyuhyun had changed his position, laying his back flat on the bed, while his hands still hugging the bolster. Siwon could feel his heartbeats went chaotic once more, seeing the sight of the sleeping Kyuhyun. He moved forward, to grab the blanket to cover Kyuhyun's lower part of the body, afraid that he might catch a cold, sleeping in dirty clothes.

Maybe he should help Kyuhyun change into some clean clothes.... No no no, control yourself Choi Siwon! Who knows what will you do if you see a n... Kyuhyun?!

Siwon gulped down the disturbing thoughts, and started to look around Kyuhyun's room. And there he saw something that caught his eyes, and his heart went pumping hysterically once more.

On the wall next to the bed, there was a pinboard full of notes. And all the notes pinned on the pinboard, were notes written by himself! Siwon rubbed his eyes to see clearly, and the fact remains, that his notes to Kyuhyun during high school, were all pinned up nicely and perfectly on the pinboard! With A.C at the end of the notes! Siwon covered his mouth, to stop himself from screaming out of joy, with his heart flipping like a school girl in love.

He.....kept them... HE KEPT THEM, ALL OF THEM! Does that means...he likes A.C too?

Siwon turned his blissful smiling face towards the sleeping Kyuhyun, and he caressed the brownish fluffy hair.

Doesn't matter...doesn't matter... You keeping my notes, is a big accomplishment to me... Just wait, Kyuhyun ah, one day...I will reveal myself...to you.... This time, I will not let go...

And he planted a soft gentle kiss on Kyuhyun's forehead, before he left the room.

And I will protect you, with all my might.

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

Flashback

Kyuhyun smiled when he opened the locker to see the usual items from A.C in his locker. A pair of gloves and the energy drink with the smiley face on the cap, together with a note.

"Winter is coming, so hope this pair of gloves will keep your beautiful hands warm and cosy. And the drink to keep your energy going for the day. Want to see you smile always, as your smile is the most beautiful thing that happens in the world. Hwaiting! :^) From your secret admirer, A.C."

Kyuhyun put on the gloves, and indeed, the gloves did provide his hands the warmth. Kyuhyun snuggled his hands in his chest. So warm... He carefully folded the note and placed in his bag, and grabbed the bottle, skipping happily to his class.

But he didn't noticed, a pair of eyes were following him as he skipped to his class.

Siwon's eyes were glittered with happiness as he saw Kyuhyun smiled when he opened the locker. His heart couldn't control and was pumping crazily, especially when he saw Kyuhyun wore the gloves and snuggled his hands into his chest like a little cute kid. And he smiled even wider when Kyuhyun skipped happily to his class.

It seems like he was a step closer to Kyuhyun once more...
