Kyuhyun wrapped the scarf tightly around his neck. His hands shaking. His breath came out in swirls before his eyes. It reminded him of the time when Heechul use to smoke. He nuzzled his face into the warmth of the material, hiding his face from the biting wind. The street was filled with people shopping. Mothers dragging small children away from toy shops, teenage girls giggling and gazing at their homes. Couples clad in scarves and hats, gloved hands clasped together tightly, sharing warm kisses, Kyuhyun bit back the smile, rubbing his hands together for warmth.  He’d been standing in the icy December wind for half an hour now. He was waiting on Ara, his noona. He hadn’t seen her in weeks and he’d missed her. He’d always been close to her and Heechul had a schedule to go to. Kyuhyun, having the day off decided to go Christmas shopping with his sister to fill the empty time.

                He rubbed his hands together, he blew on them, trying to gain a small bit of warmth. He closed his dark brown eyes, rocking on his feet. ‘Dongsaeng!’ a soft voice yelled. Before Kyuhyun could open his eyes and small body colliding with his. Arms wrapped around his waist, a head on his shoulder. ‘Ara-noona! Jeez, what happened to being here at 3 exactly?’ Kyuhyun teased. He buried his head in his sister’s silky black hair. He breathed in her scent, relaxing. She smelled just like he remembered, like blueberries and sweets. Ara rolled her eyes at her younger sibling, ‘Yah, since when does my baby brother talk to his Noona like that? Aish, so disrespectful, I almost feel sorry for that boyfriend of yours’. Ara shot her younger brother a knowing look. Kyuhyun’s cheeks flushed with colour at the mention of the word boyfriend. ‘I..um…noona! You can’t just say things like that!’ Kyuhyun stuttered, hiding his face in his hands.

        Ara laughed at how cute her brother looked with his pale cheeks a bright pink, that small content smile on his lips. ‘Noona knows everything Kyuhyunnie, don’t forget that! So how is my soon to be brother in law? I thought Heechul-ah would jump at a chance to go shopping’ Ara smiled softly. Kyuhyun rolled his eyes at her, ‘He has a schedule to attend today, and I’m picking him up at 10 so we can go eat together’. Ara smiled, pinching his cheek teasingly, ‘My little Kyu is all grown up. It seems like it was just yesterday when you were trying on my dresses and saying boys were icky!’ Kyuhyun hit his sister playfully, ‘Noona!’ People passing by laughed at the two Cho sibling fighting playfully on the curb. Ara laughing as Kyuhyun used his height to his advantage and tickled her.

             Ara backed away, still laughing; her hands held up in surrender, ‘Okay, okay, I give in! Let’s go shopping before it’s too late and you don’t want to be late for your Heechul now do you’. Kyuhyun nodded, hugging his sister before starting to walk. The shop windows were filled with bright colourful Christmas lights and small trees. Every shop displaying colourful gifts, clothes and signs. The Cho siblings spent hours searching the mall. Kyuhyun reluctantly being dragged in the cosmetics and lingerie to search for stuff for their Umma. In the end they ended up getting her a new cook book, some new miracle make-up and little gifts. When it came to shopping for their Appa, Kyuhyun refused to take part. Ara frowned as Kyuhyun once again refused to give an opinion on what they should get him. ‘Kyu-ah, he is still your Appa, maybe this will help sort it out…you are coming home for Christmas right?’’ Ara bit her lip. Kyuhyun gazed at her stubbornly, shaking his head, ‘I’m sorry Noona but until he can accept my Heenim and me, he is no Appa of mine. I won’t be coming home that’s why I’m giving the presents for everyone to you. I’m staying at the dorm with Heechul, he’s too far away to travel and it’s dangerous with the snow’. Ara sighed, walking to the register, Kyuhyun in tow. She quickly paid for a few things for their Appa. She gazed at Kyuhyun again, ‘He does love you but you have to understand it’s a shock to him, I mean out of all of us he never guessed like me and Umma did. You need to give him time’. Kyuhyun gazed at his hands, ‘It’s been three weeks and he refuses to so much as ask how I am Ara, he has had time, he obviously doesn’t want anything to do with his disgusting excuse for a son’. Ara stared at her brother, before she could utter another word, Kyuhyun had headed into Jewellers.

          Kyuhyun gazed at the countless glass cases. Some romantic song playing in the background. Couples were dotted around the store, gazing longing at rings. Nervous men consulted with the clerics about which ring they should buy for proposing. In the cases lay stunning necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings. Each case containing either gold or silver products. Each looking so delicately beautiful and elegant just lying on deep blue cushions. From traditional Korean designs to more artistic ones to birthstones, the store held it all. Kyuhyun glanced around and was immediately drawn to a counter with the sign ‘Couple Rings, a promise for better years to come’. Kyuhyun glanced at the endless rows of rings. Lost in his thoughts, he smiled slightly as he tried to imagine which would look the best on his Heechul’s long slim finger. A hand gently tapped his shoulder. Kyuhyun turned, thinking it was Ara, getting ready to protest against her please. Instead stood a man about his age. He had bright brown eyes that showed nothing but friendliness, short spiked light brown hair with a blonde fringe; he gazed at Kyuhyun warmly, ‘May I help you Sir?’ Kyuhyun nodded smiling with relief, ‘Yes, please, this is my first time buying one of these so I’m a bit useless’. The other boy chuckled softly, ‘Well, I’m sure she’ll love it whoever she is’. Kyuhyun blushed slightly, ‘It’s for my boyfriend actually, and he loves these kinds of cute acts even if he’d never admit it’. The boy smiled, ‘That’s the same with my boyfriend, Suk-Chul, except you just know, he’s too adorable and it shows’. Kyuhyun couldn’t help but laugh softly and smile. ‘Yah, did I here my name? What are you saying about me now yeobo? Ignore Taehyun, he is a bit of air head’ teased another voice. Kyuhyun assumed that the boy with black curly hair and an adorable baby face was Suk-Chul. The assumption was proved correct when Suk-Chul joined his hand with the other, known as Taehyun.

     Taehyun rolled his eyes softly, ‘I was just telling him that my boyfriend is adorable. He is looking for couple rings for him and his boyfriend. May I ask your name?’ Kyuhyun bit his lip, he was sure the scarf and hat would protect his identity, ‘It’s Kyuhyun, and my boyfriends name is Heechul’. A spark of recognition sparked in the other boy’s eyes but they just smiled. ‘Okay Kyuhyun-ah, what kind of person is your Heechul-ah?’ Suk-Chul asked cuddled back into Taehyun. Kyuhyun smiled softly, gazing at his hands, ‘He’s amazing. Other think he is vain and loud and sarcastic but once you get to know him, he’s not like that. He is very sweet, caring, he’d give up anything for the people he loves, he is more beautiful then any other man or woman I’ve ever seen. He has this grace and elegance about him, he doesn’t know he is truly amazing, he’s a bit insecure but he loves cuddling and movies like The Lion King. He loves slow songs, playing his piano and making people smile’. Taehyun gazed at Kyuhyun softly, the love the young boy held for his lover was obvious through the look on his face. The proud smile, the sparkle in Kyuhyun’s doe brown eyes, the slight flush on his cheeks. Suk-Chul reached forward, grabbing a pair of delicate silver rings. The band was smooth plain silver, rising on one side on each ring to form half a heart. When the rings connected they formed a fully heart. And where the v in the top of the heart was, was a small shimmering diamond on each ring. Kyuhyun held the delicate bands in his hands, examining them. He closed his eyes and could imagine the smaller of the two rings sitting perfectly on Heechul’s finger, glistening in the light proudly. The rings were plain yet beautifully elegant, perfect for his graceful and gorgeous Heechul. Kyuhyun smiled happily at the couple, ‘I’ll take them. Could you engrave ‘I’ll never break my promise, love Kyu, always’ on the smaller’. Suk-Chul nodded, taking the ring over to be engraved while Kyuhyun paid for the rings. Suk-Chul returned smiling brightly, handing Kyuhyun a small sapphire blue box, win king at him, “ I better see those rings on your finger the next time I see new Super Junior videos or pictures, arraso?’. Kyuhyun laughed, ‘You will, I promise’.

          Kyuhyun found his sister waiting outside where he proceeded to show her the two silver rings nestled into the velvet cushion in the box. Ara ruffled Kyuhyun’s hair, ‘He’ll love it Kyu-ah. He’s lucky to have a guy like you, he better never let go’. Kyuhyun smiled lovingly at his sister, hugging her. ‘Come back to the dorm with me, I know the boys will be dying to see you again. Ara laughed, checking her phone, ‘I’ve nothing else on for the day, I’ve missed them’. ‘Not as much as you missed your loving Dongsaeng though’ Kyuhyun smirked. Ara scoffed, rolling her eyes, ‘I missed Donahue more then I missed your sorry Kyuhyun’. ‘Noona!’ Kyuhyun whined, pouting cutely. Ara smiled softly, ‘Of course I missed my baby brother too’. Kyuhyun went to make snarky comment when his phone went off. Kyuhyun quickly pulled his phone from his pocket, pressing answer, ‘Yeoboseyo?’ ‘Kyuhyunnie, you’re not home’ Heechul’s voice sounded in his ears. Kyuhyun couldn’t help but smile, he glanced at his watch, ‘Yeobo, it’s only 6. I thought you were away till ten?’ He heard Heechul sigh; he could imagine Heechul with an arm crossed over his chest, an eyebrow raised. ‘So? Can I not be home early and expect my lover to throw himself into myself weeping about how much he loves me?’ Kyuhyun chuckled softly, ‘Yeobo, I’ll make sure to confess my undying love for you once again when we get home, arraso? I went shopping with Ara-Noona and we’re heading back to the dorms now’. Kyuhyun started to walk towards his car, Ara smiling to herself. Listening to how relaxed Kyuhyun sounded and how happy he was talking to Heechul. He practically radiated with joy. ‘You better. Tell Ara I said I can’t wait to see her!’ Heechul smiled. Kyuhyun pouted, unlocking the car, slipping in, ‘But you’re not excited to see me?’ He could hear Heechul laughing softly, ‘Of course I am Jaigya, and I miss you, arraso? Oh, and Kyuhyunnie, will you pick up some Kimchi bbokeumbbop? I forgot to eat at my schedule’. Kyuhyun sighed softly, smiling, ‘Okay Yeobo, I’ll go to your favourite shop by the dorms. I’ll see you soon, okay?”. ‘Ne Kyuhyunnie. Saranghae’ Heechul smiled, cradling the phone to his ear. ‘Na-do, Saranghae Heechullie’

             Kyuhyun and Ara could hear the loud laughter and voice of the other members before Kyuhyun even opened the door. They slipped off their shoes. Instantly welcomed by the warmth of the apartment. The sound of laughter and voices drew them in. The members were gathered in the sitting room. Donghae and Eunhuyk were standing on the coffee table, a blonde wig graced Donghae’s head as they once again rein-acted the Titanic for the thousand times this month. Heechul gazed up as he heard footsteps in the fall. He kept his eyes on the doorway as Kyuhyun appear. His cheeks were flushed red, his nose an adorable pink, he was still wrapped up in his scarf and gloves. His hair tousled by the wind contained white flakes of snow. ‘Kyu!’ Heechul smiled, throwing himself into the taller’s arms. Kyuhyun smiled, his arms automatically winding around his lovers slim waist. He pressed a kiss to Heechul’s forehead. ‘I told you I wouldn’t take long Heenim’ Kyuhyun muttered softly. Heechul took Kyuhyun’s face in his hands, ‘You’re so cold Kyu!’ he smirked, ‘Want me to warm up those lips of yours’. Kyuhyun smirked, gazing into his boyfriends eyes, leaning closer ‘Gladly’. Heechul moved to close then gap when Ara’s voice interrupted. ‘I have nothing against your relationship but I really don’t want to see my Oppa and Dongsaeng making-out thanks!’. Donghae and Eunhuyk fell to the floor laughing at Ara’s out break. Kyuhyun went bright red, hiding his face in Heechul’s shoulder. Heechul just smirked, ‘I can’t help that your brother is so damn kissable. It’s not my fault I can’t resist him!’ Kyuhyun bit Heechul’s neck to show he was embarrassed. ‘Awwh I think we’ve embarrassed our little Kyuhyunnie, Ara-sshi’ Heechul cuddled the younger boy. Ara ruffled Kyuhyun’s hair, ‘It’s what I live for’. She stepped away from the couple when Donghae and Eunhyuk pounced on her dragging her into the sitting room with Siwon and Leeteuk. The couple could hear them all talking as they just held each other, Heechul’s fingers raking through Kyuhyun’s soft hair. Kyuhyun lifted his hand, taking in Heechul’s beauty. ‘I missed you Chullie-ah’ he whispered, locking his lips on Heechul’s. Heechul couldn’t argue, only smile into it and relax. He’d missed seeing Kyuhyun face and his voice, even if had only been a few hours. Heechul pulled back, kissing Kyuhyun’s nose. ‘I missed you too yeobo. But…did you get my Kimchi bbokeumbbop?’

          Everyone sat in the dark. The light from the television illuminating their faces slightly. Leeteuk was sitting at the windowsill. Smiling to him-self softly, the others could hear his strained voice from not wanting to cry while on the phone to Kangin. Ara shared the two seat couch in the corner with Siwon. Both of them deep in some conversation. Ara smiling happily up at him. Kyuhyun glanced at Siwon warily, noticing how his sister admired the man. He scowled slightly, thinking of how if Siwon tried anything he’d rip him apart, despite Siwon being, well, ten hundred times more muscular and stronger then him. Eunhyuk and Donghae were on the floor. Donghae sitting back against his chest between his legs, Eunhyuk’s hands clasped tightly around his waist and his own on top of them while Eunhyuk quoted all the loving lines into Donghae’s ear smiling. Kyuhyun and Heechul lay on the sofa, limbs tangled together. Heechul’s head on Kyuhyun’s shoulder, Kyuhyun’s hands on his waist softly rubbing circles as he nuzzled the older’s neck lovingly. Kyuhyun kissed Heechul’s neck softly, not in a ual or lustful way. But in a way that made Heechul feel safe and loved. Heechul closed his eyes, a smile gracing his lips as Kyuhyun’s own hovered above his. For the first time in months, Heechul felt like he was loved, like he was needed. That he was worth something. And before he connected their lips, he couldn’t stop the, ‘God, I love you Cho Kyuhyun’, that fell from them. Only to feel fireworks burst in his stomach as the other replied, ‘And I love you Kim Heechul, you have my heart now and forever’.
