Sungmin missed his apartment alot. After what happened that night, the confrontation between Siwon and Kyuhyun, he
could only cry in silent and after calming down, he has to pretend nothing happened. He really missed his apartment
as much as he misses Kyuhyun cuddling him to sleep. Exactly when is he going to stop thinking about Kyuhyun? His heart
was bashed, stepped on, wounded and all and still it beats the same for Cho Kyuhyun. He needs to shift his attention
tonight and so he has decided.

"I'll just clean and go." he said convincing himself that he will only stay in the apartment for a short while.

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

Kyuhyun was a bit ashamed of what happened between him and Ryeowook. Indeed, he is losing the same feeling he had
before but he has no intentions of pushing the man away. Well, come to think of it, he didn't really push the man
away. It was that quite disturbing memory that seemed to pushed the petite guy away. And of all people he could think
of, why would it always be Sungmin who would appear in his mind? True. He might really be a past lover, but does it
always have to be him? It irritates him, he is in good terms with this person now, he doesn't want to hate Sungmin
anymore... but he has drawn a line between him and the older man... that line is called friendship.

While he was in deep thought, he, for the nth time, find himself in front of the familiar apartment. This time, the
lights are on so he decided to go out of his car and looked around. He found the gates open so he invited himself
in, he stopped in front of the door.

"It wouldn't really be a harm if I check out what's inside." he thought to himself.

He was quite surprised to see the door is unlock so he volunteered to come in. It was not really in his nature to
come inside a stranger's house but he really cannot stop himself from coming inside. There he saw a short guy
squatting as he sweeps the floor.

He cleared his throat so as to get the short guy's attention and to his surprise... well both of them.

"Sungmin sshi?"
"Kyuhyun sshi?" they both said at the same time.

As much as Kyuhyun was surprised, Sungmin felt the same. How could the young man get in? Is it because he get back
his memories and used the duplicate key? But Kyuhyun startled when he saw Sungmin... it might not be an option. Aside
from that, Kyuhyun could have hugged him tightly if he did get his memory back but he is still standing there
looking surprised as to seeing the older man standing, holding his piece of cloth. So now to cut this short...
exactly what is he doing inside their apartment?

"How did you-"

"I saw the door open."

A little bit of disappointment came out from Sungmin's sigh. Then again, why is he here? How did he know about his
place? Questions as such filled his mind.

"Why..." Sungmin asked in doubt. "why are you here?"

Kyuhyun looked down... "I always find myself stopping in this place whenever I am thinking deeply. Just now... it's
the fifth time. I don't even know why." he said looking at Sungmin with shyness as he hasn't apologized to what he
said the other night.

Sungmin nodded and thought deeply... 'because this is your second home, Kyuhyun-ah.' "Come inside." he said. Kyuhyun
felt relief as the older man still welcome him to this familiar place even after what happened. He's quite touched
with Sungmin's kindness and understanding to him like he always give way to whatever Kyuhyun wants to do...or say.

Kyuhyun looked at him with a lot of curiosity. "Did I live here before? This place is just so familiar." he looked
around as if he has seen most of the things inside the house. He felt his heart skipping a bit as he felt so close
to everything that the apartment has.

Sungmin looked at him and weigh the situation. Kyuhyun maybe curious now but when the story of them comes out, the
young man might feel stressed in recalling things and might end up pushing him away again... he doesn't want it to
happen. He has to be extra careful with his words. One mistake and Kyuhyun might end up leaving this place and
completely toss all the memories away.

"You see me here first, so what makes you think you live here?" Sungmin said with a slight smile.

Kyuhyun pouted... "Oh..." he then look around. "But this place looks really familiar... and I wouldn't drive myself
here if this has nothing to do with me." his eyes continuously roam around the place.

"For your peace of mind..." Sungmin started. "We used to hang out here. You, Teukie hyung, Heechul hyung, Donghae,
Hyukjae, Siwonnie... you guys like staying here." especially you.

Kyuhyun nodded and smiled. "Do you live here, Sungmin sshi?"

Sungmin nodded shortly. "My parents left this to me before they died. Although, I've been sleeping in my ancestral
house recently."

"Why is that?" Kyuhyun asked curiously, this apartment sends a special aura that it would be a waste if Sungmin would
not spend most of his time here.
Sungmin was about to answer when he stopped himself. He has to stop himself from saying because this house is full
of their memories and that he cannot be friends with this memories lingering around. He just smiled at the young man
and looked away.

"Why..." Kyuhyun started which made Sungmin looked at him. "Why are you here if you said you are staying in your
ancestral house?"

"I was bored so I thought of cleaning this place." Kyuhyun nodded at his answer.

"I hope I'm not a disturbance to you, Sungmin sshi."

Sungmin looked at him and noticed that he is still curious about some other things. He may be pushed away if he
force their memories but... it wouldn't be a bad idea if he would just lead Kyuhyun to them, right? He smiled at
the young man...

"Of course not, feel free to roam around. Treat this as your home." he encouraged.

"You're this warm in welcoming strangers?" Kyuhyun asked smiling. Happy that both of them seemed to be ok even after
the incident last night. He has to admit that he would really want to look around. If this apartment has something to
do with the past... it would be something he wants to keep as well.

"Maybe... Especially those lost type of strangers." Sungmin freed a wide smile, a bunny smile which made Kyuhyun
secretly happy finally, he saw that smile in real life. He doesn't want to see glimpse of it when he's with
somebody... or when Sungmin is with somebody else. Kyuhyun's heart skipped a bit as that smile really makes him
want to keep that cuteness in his pocket.

Kyuhyun freed a wider smile as he turned his back and looked around. He saw the wall covered with white cloth and
he wondered what it could be. He could have taken it off if he is feeling naughty but he won't do it today. Otherwise
Sungmin sshi might kick him out of the house, he wouldn't want that to happen. But then...that wall seemed to hide
something. He thinks he remembered doing something in that wall. What is it? His thoughts were cut when he saw the
keyboard at the corner. He has never been that much excited to see a keyboard, but it seemed like it was calling him
to sit down and play. He touched the key and saw the notes on top of it. He looked through it and looked at Sungmin.

"I didn't know that Sungmin sshi has a talent for songwriting." he said which made Sungmin secretly happy. He surely
likes it whenever Kyuhyun is praising his songwriting skills and forgotten or not his beloved magnae still
appreciates his skills and he likes it. It feels like seeing the past Kyuhyun again... the childish yet loving magnae
he loves the most.

"No wonder TRAX called you to write a song for them." Kyuhyun he said as he waved the music sheet for Blind. Kyuhyun
already knows it was Sungmin who wrote the song, it's just that... he wasn't able to compliment Sungmin that time as
he was busy mocking the older. He is amazed at the older man's talent, and he really take his
word back when he said that Sungmin is a boring type. Songwriting is absolutely one of the coolest, most
handsome-st thing.

Sungmin shook his head. "That was just a hobby of mine. A past time." he bit his lips to stop himself from smiling
widely. He has to control his feelings. Maybe Kyuhyun doesn't need to go back to the past maybe he just needs to
see the reasons why he fell head over heels to Sungmin.

Kyuhyun nodded and touched the keys again looking like he wanted to try it. The slightly faded white-turned-grayish
keys seemed so familiar to him that he wonders whether he has played the piano during his ancient life.

"I think I always wanted to learn how to play the piano." he said as he press random keys. It was off so there is no
sound. He looked down as he knows his father doesn't agree to him pursuing music more than handling the company.
He suddenly saw the older man walking towards the keyboard and plugging it on. Sungmin looked at him with a smile.

"It wouldn't be that hard for you to know whether you can play it. All you have to do is to sit down and try
pressing the keys." He placed his cloth at the side and the keyboards.

Kyuhyun looked at him doubtfully. Sungmin pointed the keyboard. "Try it. You wouldn't know if you don't try,
Kyuhyun sshi..."

Kyuhyun felt encouraged with what the older man said so he turned and tried pressing the keys. He unknowingly and
surprisingly played an old love song that he and Sungmin used to play together. He widened his eyes as his fingers
seemed to be moving on their own and is absolutely
doing a perfect harmony with the keys that he's pressing. Sungmin looked at the young man who seemed to be amazed
with the talent he just discovered.

"I didn't know I can play the piano?! Woah... that was amazing." he said as he looked at his fingers and shift to
Sungmin. The older man could just smile. He is happy to see the childish side of Kyuhyun... it was something he
missed seeing these days. "Sungmin sshi... I'm amazing, ain't I?"

"You are. Congratulations on your new found talent." Sungmin said happily, showing his bunny teeth which this time
he cannot hide anymore.
It seems like Kyuhyun doesn't mind it so he'll show it as much as he want to.

Kyuhyun continued playing and was really glad with what he discovered about his past self. He acted like a professional
pianist, closing his eyes and turning his head on different sides while playing random keys but in a comical way.
Sungmin chuckled as he shook his head and continued cleaning. He, then stopped and thought as he stood up looking
at the magnae.

"I hope you don't mind me talking about the past but..." he stopped and looked at Kyuhyun who seemed to be
interested as he speaks so he continued. "You used to skip finance classes just to attend music lessons. You
purposely did not ask the the staff to put it in your record so that you can  keep it as a secret."

Kyuhyun nodded and felt proud. "I must have been a headache to that finance professor."

"Not really... you'll meet him in the after school session, eventually." inside his mind... 'and me.'

Kyuhyun nodded. "That's probably the reason why After School Classroom is too familiar to me. I'd probably spent my
whole school life in that classroom. Thanks for telling me."

Sungmin just smiled as Kyuhyun focused on playing the keyboard. He continued what he was doing in the living room...
as he listens to Kyuhyun playing his unknowingly own keyboard.

"Sungmin sshi..." Sungmin looked at Kyuhyun. "Is it ok if I browse through your compositions?"

"Go ahead. Feel free to look at it. Play it if you think you can read the notes. Sing it as well, if you know how to
sing." he smiled hoping for the younger one to sing for real. He misses Kyuhyun's singing voice, especially when he
sings his own compositions. Kyuhyun smiled and opened the music book in front of the keyboard
and read through it. Sungmin sshi asks me to sing it if I can sing... you have no idea how great my voice is, then.
That was his thought while browsing through the compositions. He's decided to impress someone tonight.
