"I'm not doing it!" 

"Come on, Kyu. It's a great idea and it'll be Suho's initiation to the Kyu-line." Changmin consoled his best friend as the grumpy older man looked away from him, arms crossed over his chest. 

"I understand why you'd get off on this idea but I'd doubt Minho would agree to this." 

"I called Minho first and he said yes so— wait, what do you mean I'd get off on it?!" 

Kyuhyun snorted and turned his head to reveal a raised brow. "Really? Do you want me to say it?" 

Changmin scoffed, "As if you're not in the same predicament." 

"What!?" Kyuhyun yelped indignantly. "I'm not ually deprived! You're the one who always es and moans about Yunho neglecting you." 

Changmin just rolled his eyes, already expecting that response. "At least I'm not in denial." 

Kyuhyun fumed. " I'm not in denial!" 

His best friend studied his face for a while before smirking and said, "Alright, believe whatever you want. But when the time comes, you're gonna hear a little me at the back of your mind saying, 'I told you so' multiple times." 

"Who'd want to hear the sound of your annoying voice in their heads?" 

"My fans and Yunho." Changmin answered promptly. "And we're doing that dance. End of story." He turned and started to walk away. 

Kyuhyun gaped at him for a moment before shouting at his back, "Yah! You can't make me! I'm the leader of the Kyu-line!"

Changmin didn't even pause in his stride as he turned his head a little to look at Kyuhyun. "Watch me try. And do you really want to have a debate about who actually runs the Kyu-line?" 

Kyuhyun blew out a frustrated breathe, wondering for the umpteenth time why this guy was his best friend. 

oooooooooooooooo

He really didn't know why in the nine rings of hell this guy was his best friend. 

"You didn't." Kyuhyun whispered, staring at the new Starcraft limited edition game in the younger man's hand. 

"But it hasn't even come out yet!" Kyuhyun said in denial even when the proof was shoved right in his face. 

Changmin shrugged in fake modesty, "I have connections. Now I'm giving this little baby to you if you follow everything I say about the performance." 

Kyuhyun eyed the younger man suspiciously. "Why everything you say? Why not just let me do the performance?" 

Changmin snorted. "Because I know you, babo, and your mind is too cunning to find loopholes in this condition." 

Kyuhyun couldn't help but smirk appreciatively. "Fine. I'll do it. But your orders better be only about the performance or else the deal is off, game or no game. 

Changmin nodded and they shook hands to seal the deal. 

Once they talked with the managers, arranged with concert producers and practiced with the other singers, the only thing left for Kyuhyun to do was mentally prepare himself for the embarrassment that was to come tomorrow. He couldn't believe that he was actually going to go through with this. Sure he had dressed up as a girl sometimes during super show and once in SNL but that was only a wig and with light make up. This performance was a parody of Girl's Day song and judging from what he heard between Changmin and the make up artist, they were going to go all out. Kyuhyun nearly whimpered at the thought of dressing in a tight outfit, with wig and heavy makeup— Heechul hyung would be a much better cross dresser than him. 

"Kyuhyun!" 

Kyuhyun nearly jumped out of his skin at the sudden voice. He looked up from his position on the bed to see Donghae peeking through the opening of his door. 

"What?" 

"Dinner's ready. I've been calling you for a while now." 

"Oh really." Kyuhyun muttered sitting up. "Sorry." 

Donghae furrowed his brow as he stared at the maknae. "Are you okay? You've been looking a little stressed lately."

Kyuhyun answered dryly, "Well, the concert is tomorrow." 

Donghae chuckled sheepishly. "Yeah I know that but you look more down than usually before our other concerts." 

"Yeah, maybe the stress is finally getting to me." 

Suddenly, Donghae's eyes lit up." Oh yeah I heard you're having a special performance with some of the Kyu-line members right? No wonder you're so tired." 

Kyuhyun tensed. Donghae knows?! "Uh, what have you heard about it?" 

Donghae shrugged, leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed. "Not much, just that you had a special performance with them which is weird because the staff have been keeping it hush hush from everyone. " 

Kyuhyun nearly sagged in relief but since that'd be too obvious with the current company he just sighed. So Changmin would live to see another day. "Then you're just gonna have to find out tomorrow." 

Donghae grinned. "Sure! I'm looking forward to it already." And Kyuhyun couldn't help but smile in return. He really missed talking to his hyung. But ever since his concerts with Eunhyuk, he and Donghae have become distant lately which was weird because they were kinda going out. It sometimes may not seem like it whenever they'd talk to each other in moments like these but before, when they had started being together three years ago, they had been all over each other. However, they've been getting busy lately and their schedules don't usually coincide, what with Donghae's other concerts with Eunhyuk and Kyuhyun's increasing popularity as an MC and getting so many musical shows. They never really had time to act as boyfriends anymore; it's like they had unconsciously built a wall between them that none of them knew how to destroy. 

Donghae, not liking the silence that followed after their talk, started, "Kyuhyun, I know we haven't been—", 

Whatever Donghae was going to say about them was unfortunately (or fortunately) interrupted.

"Yah! Dinner has been ready ten minutes ago. I told you to get Kyuhyun, not lengthen the hours of our fast." Ryeowook scolded as he walked towards them with a spatula held threateningly in his hand. 

"Alright, we're coming." Donghae told the pissed male consolingly. He turned towards Kyuhyun who finally stood up from his bed. 

"Let's go." He said with an endearing smile on his face that Kyuhyun felt his face heat up. So he could still make Kyuhyun flush like a girl.

Maybe Changmin was right. Maybe he was ually deprived. Not that Kyuhyun was going to admit that openly to his egotistic dongsaeng.
