"And the winner for Best Actor in a Musical is... Cho Kyuhyun!"

Kyuhyun closed his eyes and smiled as his name was called. He looked at the man beside him who was holding his hand, eyes beaming with pride. Kyuhyun couldn't help but plant a kiss on those pink lips... even with all the eyes focused on them now. The applause addressed to him became louder as the entire pool of guests and audience witnessed that sweet kiss, and it resonated more as Kyuhyun went up the stage and accepted his most deserving award.

"Thank you... thank you, everyone..."

Kyuhyun started his acceptance speech. His eyes found the other set of eyes locked at him, with that person mouthing I LOVE YOU with Kyuhyun nodding in acknowledgement.

"This is unexpected, truthfully." Kyuhyun continued on with tears welling in his eyes. "It has been a tough year for me... and the rest of Super Junior, that I dedicate this award to all my hyungs and our dearest E.L.F.s."

Screams were heard from the crowd of ELFs on the audience.

"This award makes tonight extra special for me. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the production team of Secret Garden The Musical, for entrusting me the role of Kim Joo Won. To all my co-actors as well, for all their support throughout the run of Secret Garden. To my family, who has been there for me, all these years. To my extended family, Abeonim and Eomonim... Jiwonie... thank you for accepting me and making me a part of your family... after all we have been through..."

Kyuhyun's tears couldn't help but fall after mentioning the family whom he thought would never accept him.

"Lastly, I share this award to the person whom I thought would never be with me again on a special night like this..."

He turned to the apple of his eyes sitting in front of him in the audience, tears trickling down his handsome face.

"As you all know, we... I almost lost Choi Siwon in a tragic car accident early this year, it had been almost impossible for me to see him looking at me with loving eyes across this stage."

Kyuhyun paused to give way to his sobs.

"Yet, tonight, he is here.. in his first ever public appearance after fighting that battle... Siwonnie... sweetie... thank you... thank you for living... thank you for everything. This is for you. Nomu nomu saranghae, uri Choi Siwon. Thanks everyone. Thank you so much."

Kyuhyun went down the stage accompanied by a loud applause from the audience. Siwon walked towards him and wrapped him in his arms tight. "I love you too... oh so much, Cho Kyuhyun."

It has been a couple of months since that dreadful day in the hospital, when Kyuhyun almost lost Siwon. After the doctors attempted to save Siwon's life with the defibrilator, he finally survived and Kyuhyun helped him recover, not leaving the older male's side throughout his recovery days. Kyuhyun never went back to New York but got an offer for another musical, which he had won the highest honors tonight.

After the awards night, Siwon convinced Kyuhyun they celebrate his victory. The younger thought they will just go to some first class restaurant but noticed that they were approaching the freeway out of Seoul.

"Sweetie, where are we heading? I thought we are just going to eat out and celebrate..."

Siwon reached out for his lover's hand. "We are celebrating. Just sit back and relax, okay."

Kyuhyun trusted his boyfriend and just rested his hand above Siwon's as they ride along. Kyuhyun didn't realize that he dozed off not until he opened his eyes and saw the road sign welcoming them.

"Haeundae?!" Kyuhyun yelped in surprise and turned to his boyfriend holding the wheel. "You have been driving for hours! What are we doing here?"

Siwon had a smile on his face, showing his dimples which Kyuhyun loves so much. "You'll know in a bit, honeybunch."

"Oh don't you show those cute dimples on me Choi Siwon. That is so not working on me right now. You better tell me where we are headed or else..."

Before Kyuhyun could even threaten whatever it is he had in his mind, the car stopped at a beautiful secluded place in Dalmaji Hill. It was overlooking Haeundae Beach, the scene was breath taking. Siwon took Kyuhyun's hand and led him out of the car then went inside the place, which the taller male rented, obviously.

"Honey, this is beautiful..." Kyuhyun remarked as they went inside. "But it seems so dark."

Siwon caressed Kyuhyun's cheek and slid his hands down the latter's arms to take his hand. "Babe, look down..."

Kyuhyun's heart fluttered all of a sudden. "Down where?" He asked slowly eyeing the beach down them.

"There... down there... on the sand..."

Kyuhyun did as he was told and slowly, it was revealed to him....

There were candles on the sand formed into a heart, with the words MARRY ME, CHO KYUHYUN written on the sand on its center. Kyuhyun's heart raced as his
