I HAVE TO STOP THE MARRIAGE?!

Siwon looked dumbfounded by what Ma said. 

"Siwon? Siwon? Are you listening to me?" Ma shook Siwon.

Siwon stuttered "M-Ma... Do you r-really mean what y-you were saying?" He still wasn't able to believe what she had told him to do.

"About what? Stopping the marriage? Yeah... I'm sure about that." Ma replies calmly.

How can she be so calm about it? Siwon just looked at her. Does she not care about Zhou Mi's sentiments? "Ma... what you're planning to do might hurt Zhou Mi."

Ma nods "It might. But it will be just momentary. After that, everything will be fine. I'll make sure everything is fine. Now, I want your answer. Will you or will you not?"

Siwon sighed "Ma, will you consider me as a Zhou after this?" Siwon was desperate because though he knows Ma likes him, she never actually considered him as a son. He got lot of love from others but he always craved for motherly affection which he never actually received. To put it simply, he craved for Ma's attention and now was the chance to get it.

Ma nodded "Yes, I will. Not like I didn't consider you before, but after this, I'll accept you completely." I love you too Siwon but it's just that I love Zhou Mi a lot more than you.

Siwon turned towards the door "I'll think about it." Siwon started walking away.

"Tell me on the day of the party before the wedding. I expect a yes from you."

Siwon just walked away, without turning back. He kept his head down until he reached his room. He entered his room and locked the door. He then fell to the ground, covering his face. What should I do now?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was the day before the wedding. The mansion has been beautifully decorated. Since the wedding was going to be private, the Zhous had decided to have a party before-hand and then a grand reception after the wedding. 

It was morning and everyone was busy, checking if everything was ready for the party.

Zhou Mi enters the mansion "Ma! I'm back!" 

Ma runs from the kitchen and hugs Zhou Mi. "My baby. You're finally back. Do you know how much I missed you?! How could you leave suddenly for Tokyo like that?"

Zhou Mi smiles "It's fine. I'm back right. Anyway, tomorrow's my wedding so I had to come, right?"

Ma pulled back from the hug, after listening the word 'wedding'. Just then, Kyuhyun comes down. "You're back, huh? I thought you'd come after the marriage was over." He pouted.

Zhou Mi smiled as he went to Kyuhyun "Aww! I missed you so much!" He tries to hug Kyuhyun but Kyuhyun dodges it. "Nope. That isn't going to work. Sorry." Kyuhyun turns away.

Ma rolled her eyes Look at him act like a woman! Those things suit only for women, not men! "Ahem! Zhou Mi, you should go and have some rest. There's a party today and I don't want you to look tired."

Zhou Mi nods and heads to his room. Kyuhyun looks at him go. Then he bows to Ma and leaves for his room.

Zhou Mi enters his room and sees Siwon standing near the wall, looking at the photos hanging "What are you doing here, Masi?"

Siwon looked at him and smiled a little "You're back? Welcome back. I was bored so I was looking around. So, done with Tokyo?"

"Yup. Thanks for taking care of my wedding arrangements for me." Zhou Mi went and hugged Siwon. "Thank you."

Siwon smiled slightly. Zhou Mi pulled back "I'm sure you're not here just to look around. You always come to my room when you have questions and are searching answers for them. So, shoot."

"You know me well, don't you?" Siwon sighed. "You're right."

Zhou Mi smiled "What are brothers for? Have a seat and ask me anything you want to." Zhou Mi puts down his bags and sits on the bed. Siwon sits on the sofa.

Siwon thought for a while before asking "Zhou Mi, what would you do if someone you love is hurt?"

Zhou Mi frowns a bit "What do you mean?"

"You know... someone like... Kyuhyun, whom you love so much gets hurt due to something... what will you do?"

Zhou Mi sighs "I don't think I'll be able to live. If it's within my range, I'll do anything to protect him but if it exceeds it and something fatal happens, I think I might die."

Siwon looks into the distance "What if your marriage is stopped?" Oops... that came out wrong. Siwon looked at Zhou Mi, trying to read his expression.

Zhou Mi smiles bitterly "I avoid imagining that because if I do, it hurts. It hurts a lot. But... why are you suddenly asking this?"

Siwon shakes his head "Just like that. Nothing serious." Siwon gets up "I'll get going. You have a nice shower and get some rest. You need to be energetic for the party tonight."

Zhou Mi nods and heads to the bathroom. Siwon takes a last look at Zhou Mi's room before walking away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The party has begun. All the relatives have arrived. Many business delegates started coming. The atmosphere was good. Everyone except Kyuhyun were present.

Zhou Mi calls Siwon, who was busy taking care of the food "Siwon, where is Kyuhyun? He should be down by now."

Siwon shrugs "What do I know? You go to his room and find it out."

Zhou Mi looks around before turning to Siwon "Siwon... many of the guests have arrived and they're asking for both of us. So, one of us has to be visible here. I'm requesting you... go and call Kyuhyun."

"Okay." Siwon goes towards Kyuhyun's room. As he was about to knock the door, the door opens and Siwon accidently knocks on Kyuhyun's forehead.

"Oww!" Kyuhyun groans in pain. Siwon was surprised for a moment but realizing his mistake, he apologized. Kyuhyun glares at him "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to call you. The party has already started and people expect you to be down there rather than in your room. Let's go." Siwon goes downstairs, with Kyuhyun trailing behind him.

As soon as Kyuhyun reaches down, Zhou Mi comes and takes him to meet the guests. Siwon sighs and goes back
