What has happen in Sungmin's life for the past three months? He failed his confession to Siwon. He had an enemy in the name of
Kyuhyun. Siwon and Kyuhyun, despite the different surnames happened to be brothers. Both sons of the President of the school he is
studying at who happened to be his mom's Guy 12. He left the old house and stayed under one roof with his first love and nemesis.
Siwon rejected him because they will be brothers soon. Kyuhyun bullies him like there's no tomorrow. Kyuhyun took away his first and
second kiss. Kyuhyun took the role in the musical and is going to sing the song he wrote. Siwon asking him to go out more often like
a date. Siwon kissed him and hugged him and did all the things that he secretly had in his to-do list. What are they now? He hasn't
asked Siwon yet. Surely they aren't lovers...because they'll be brothers once their parents get married. But surely they can't be
brothers anymore, if Siwon feels the same about him, then they can't be brothers anymore. On second thought, what does he feel for
Siwon? He's quite sure he felt something special when he was just staring at the taller man from afar. What was that feeling? or should he ask
Where was that feeling?

Sungmin stopped walking when he realised that he is in front of their old house again. What is he doing here? He looked down. His
feet brought him here again. Why does he always comes back here whenever he's thinking deeply? He's
quite thankful that Guy 12 actually bought this crappy house before they transferred to the Choi's. He said Sungmin might miss this
place or might still want to get some of his stuffs here. Lee Umma disagreed but Guy 12 insisted on buying the place to make Sungmin
more comfortable with him. He still have some stuffs inside. Maybe it is time to bring it back to his new home.

"I don't think this is the right way home."

Sungmin looked back and saw Kyuhyun standing behind him, his hands in his pocket. Since when did Kyuhyun started following him? What
does he want? He remembered when Siwon was the one who found him here. The older Choi asked him to leave this place and go home. His
warm big hand wrapped around Sungmin's. Is Kyuhyun going to do the same? Because he thinks he doesn't want to go back to that place just yet.

"What are you doing here?" Kyuhyun asked as he roam his eyes around the not so good and seemingly dangerous environment. The sourness
of his face didn't really please Sungmin but what can Kyuhyun do? The place is a narrow street, cramped with some disgusting garbages
that cannot even fit the wheeled container, some funny smell lingering around; must be from a dead rat or something.

Sungmin looked down. He, too, doesn't know why he is here...and why Kyuhyun is here. Of all people who could drag him back to his new
house, why does it have to be Kyuhyun? How will he deal with the young man? Shall he tell him what happened in the amusement park
with Siwon? Why is Kyuhyun just standing there not teasing him? He shouldn't think too much. He just sighed and turn his back. He's
not interested if Kyuhyun will bully him right now. He went to the narrow corner and went inside their old house. Everything still
look the same.

Kyuhyun wondered why Sungmin doesn't seem to be his normal self. If he's around, Sungmin is agitated, scared...that's not what he
saw. He just watched the older and followed when Sungmin entered the- he tried to convince himself that the place Sungmin entered
in is a house.

"What are you doing here?" Sungmin asked as he saw Kyuhyun by the doorway. Kyuhyun didn't stop him to come back to their place instead
he just followed. Is Kyuhyun going to bully him inside instead? But Kyuhyun doesn't seem to be in the mood for bullying. He looks
serene and... unevil. Maybe it's just him.

"I saw you not walking to the parking lot. Siwon is waiting for you there." Sungmin looked down. Siwon is waiting for him there but
he didn't really care. He wants to think. He wants to clear things in his mind. His relationship with Siwon has no name but he knows
its something beyond being siblings, he knows it should be something like what he has always dreamed about... its supposed to be
like that. But what has he really dreamed about? He needs to sort things well.

He turned his back on Kyuhyun again and pretended not to hear whatever he said. He walked towards the broken closet and opened it.
Kyuhyun sat on the wooden bed and watched him do whatever it is that he will do.

Sungmin started packing some of his things and placed them in a big duffle bag. While at it, Kyuhyun looked around the so-called
house and seriously wondered if human fits to live here. It's old and literally crappy and is not properly furnished. The space is
not even enough for him to do anything. He cannot imagine any type of human being able to live here. But Sungmin lived here, his
angel. How does Sungmin manage to live here and still study hard and withstand Kyuhyun's evilness?

He looked at the older man sitting on the floor with his legs crossed still packing his things. Sungmin held on to a picture frame.
A picture of a young woman and a man holding a child on his shoulders. Appa, don't worry about us. We're doing fine.

"Is that your dad?"

Sungmin was surprised to see Kyuhyun already sitting beside him on the floor. He smiled as he looked back on the picture and nodded
his head.

"He doesn't look like you." Kyuhyun said making Sungmin smiled wider.

"They said I look like Umma. But I have Appa's traits."

Kyuhyun nodded and took the frame and looked at the young Sungmin. Carefree and cheerful, a child who has the love of both parents.
Looking at Sungmin now, where is the child that has a carefree smile?

Sungmin watched Kyuhyun looking at his family picture. Why is Kyuhyun here? How many times did he ask this question? For once, he was
glad that the person beside him is Kyuhyun and for the record, he's not here to tease Sungmin. Looking at the younger man now, he's
quite thankful that Kyuhyun knows when and where to . He mentally smiled before looking away.

"Did you come here to get this?" Kyuhyun asked as he returned the frame.

"I just want to take all my things here. It seems like Umma and I will be staying in your house longer."

Kyuhyun chuckled. "Why do you sound so disappointed?"

Sungmin bit his lower lip shortly and looked at Kyuhyun. "For awhile I thought my mom will have a change of heart about this. It
seems like she's enjoying her new life now."

Kyuhyun nodded while Sungmin went back to what he's doing. It was a quiet late afternoon. Sungmin emptied the closet with some of his
clothes, pictures, papers and a weird cardboard with black shadings and white lines that didn't escape Kyuhyun's eyes.

"What's that?" Kyuhyun asked. Sungmin immediately kept it and zipped his bag.

"Nothing." he stood up and carried his bag but Kyuhyun blocked his way and the bag. Oh dear, here comes the devil!

"Piano keys? What's this?" Kyuhyun said as he looked at the cardboard trying to figure out what it is. It has white lines and alternately  black shadings for the
upper keys like that of a piano. But then again, this is just a piece of cardboard, it can't be a piano or something. He looked at Sungmin as if asking what it is.

"It's a dummy keyboard." he looked at it in Kyuhyun's hand before breathing in. "As you can see I don't have the luxury of space
and money to get a real one so I just made an alternative."

"You made this on your own?"

Sungmin chuckled. "It's easy if you know how a piano looks like." how can Kyuhyun be stupid?

"How would you know if you are playing the right note?"

"If you know how it sounds like it won't be that hard. Besides, after I draft the notes I will try it in school to modify it."

Kyuhyun looked at Sungmin as if he pities the older. How long has he been relying on this thing to compose songs? His angel... he must
have been having a hard time thinking of how a note would sound before being able to study.
Sungmin doesnt like the way Kyuhyun looks at him. He wouldn't mind being teased by the younger because it is the truth, he is the
poorest thing that ever existed in life. But Kyuhyun isn't teasing in fact, there is a sudden weird feeling with the way he looks at
the older now. He took the dummy keyboard away and smirked at him.

"While you're looking down on this cheap cardboard please note that I composed the song you'll be singing in the musical with merely
this."

Kyuhyun chuckled and smiled at him. His angel... is such a delightful, adorable angel.

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

It was already dark and Sungmin is still not at home. Siwon is anxious. Where is he? Why didn't he go home together with Siwon? He
should have called at least.

"Umma, do you know where Sungmin hyung is?"

"Uh..."

**********************

Kyuhyun and Sungmin are walking side by side and is about to reach the corner lot to their house. It was a weird feeling that Kyuhyun
is walking side by side with him. Although he wasn't able to sort things out, he was able to shift his mind on other things. He's
quite thankful that he's not walking to his new house alone. Kyuhyun is there to accompany him.

"How's rehearsals?" Sungmin asked. Kyuhyun cooly shrugged his shoulders.

"Not that I can't manage."

Tsch. Sungmin rolled his eyes but chuckled secretly when he heard what the younger had said. "You know, Professor Park is really glad
that you take the role." Kyuhyun smirked at the shorter man, he looked at Sungmin and his eyes brimmed with playfulness.

"I'm quite aware and I'll let her bow down to my greatness soon." Sungmin smiled widely upon hearing it making Kyuhyun mentally
smile too. That smile made him see the young Sungmin from the picture, the cheerful smile. He made Sungmin happy.

They were walking up the 6 steps staircase to the door of their house when they saw Siwon standing, waiting for them.

"Oh, there they are." Lee Umma said with a smile.

Kyuhyun looked shortly at Siwon and ignored him after that and immediately walked towards Lee Umma. He placed his arm around Lee Umma's
shoulder as he walks.

"Umma, what's for dinner?" he asked.

"I made some topokki rice today, is it ok with you?" Kyuhyun pouted shortly and thought for a while.

"I think I won't wait for Appa to come. I'm dining in first." he said as he let go of the older woman and walked towards the dining area.

"Yah! We can't start without your dad!" Lee Umma said extending her hand to hit Kyuhyun's arm but missed it.

"That's his problem. Who asked him to be late tonight?!" Kyuhyun said pretending to run towards the kitchen.

Sungmin chuckled shortly and shook his head as he watched his mom trying to chase Kyuhyun. He turned to Siwon who was looking at him
seriously...and upset.

"Why are you with him?" he asked in a monotonous voice. Sungmin felt indifferent with the way Siwon asked his question. He sounded
so cold...so stiff. Is Siwon mad at him?

"I went back to our old house to get some of my things when Kyuhyun-"

"If you want to go there you should have told me so I can accompany you. Why do you need to ask him?"

"I didn't ask Kyuhyun to come with me... I was just..." why is Siwon so upset? He didn't do anything wrong. It's not like he invited Kyuhyun to go with
him. He doesn't even know why Kyuhyun was there.

"I don't want to see you going out with him ever again. Do you hear me?"

What?! What's with that tone? He sounded like a strict dad who grounded his son for going home late. Why is Siwon acting like this?
The way he looks at Sungmin is definitely mad and...not so Siwon that he knows.

"Siwon ah..."

Siwon closed his eyes and sighed deeply. What is he doing? Why is he scaring Sungmin off? But he can't let his man stay close to
anyone... especially Kyuhyun. He doesn't like the thought that Sungmin spends time with Kyuhyun. Regardless of reasons, he doesn't
like it.

"Kyuhyun was just helping-"

Siwon doesn't like hearing Kyuhyun's name from Sungmin's mouth. Why is he reasoning out for Kyuhyun? Isn't he supposed to be mad at
Kyuhyun? That useless jerk has always been troubling him, disturbing him.

When the older mentioned the magnae's name for the third time, he just snapped out of the blue and immediately grabbed Sungmin on the elbow. He pulled
the shorter man closer to him hard enough to make Sungmin stop breathing for a second or two.

"No more excuses. You're not going out except with me...and you're not going to talk about Kyuhyun for whatever ing reason you
have, do you hear me?" he said making Sungmin witness his very own self getting scared in Siwon's eyes. Why is Siwon like this?
When did he learn to use such language? What wrong did Sungmin do to him that Siwon must act like this? What happened to Siwon...
the gentle Siwon he has admired for a long time? This person in front of him... he doesn't know who is the person standing in front
of him.

Siwon witnessed Sungmin swallowing hard. Damn. Did he just scare the older man? He closed his eyes immediately regretting what he
did. What happened to him? He shouldn't be so agitated. But Sungmin spent time with Kyuhyun. He doesn't like Sungmin spending time
with Kyuhyun. He doesn't like it.

"I'm sorry... I just..." he said as he slowly wrapped Sungmin in his embrace. The older is dumbfounded. What has happened to Siwon?
He was and has always been gentle but why was he suddenly different? It felt like he has been a tamed lion forced to become fierce
and now is ready to kill. The image of his cold, fierce eyes is just so clear in Sungmin's mind, he bets it will be a nightmare to see those in
his sleep.

"I don't want to see you with anyone, Sungmin ah. Not even with Kyuhyun...especially with Kyuhyun."

It doesn't make sense. Kyuhyun is Siwon's brother. And even if Kyuhyun is annoying and life-pestering, Siwon shouldn't sound this
hateful towards his brother. Besides, they are all going to be brothers soon. What difference could that make? He doesn't even know
what their relationship is called.

Then again, maybe it is Sungmin's fault. He has a nameless relationship with Siwon and yet he still let Kyuhyun accompany him in his
old house. Maybe it's fault that he isn't aware that Siwon can be this jealous towards his brother. Maybe it is his fault afterall.
Maybe...

"I'm sorry..." he whispered to the taller man; voice as gentle as always and yet a little bit shaky as if rattled. Siwon tightened
his embrace and sighed as if he deserves an apology from Sungmin. He closed his eyes and nuzzled on Sungmin hair as if the scent was some
kind of a drug that calmed him. He smiled at the older and kissed his forehead.

Sungmin doesn't know why he said sorry but he knows he doesn't mean that apology. He knows he is not doing anything wrong or bad for
the matter. He said sorry because he's scared to see the Siwon who appeared minutes ago. Those big, frightening eyes, the violently
tight grip; he wouldn't want to see those again. He doesn't want the seemingly beast that is hiding behind the tamed and everly
gentle Siwon to come out again. It bothers him to see that side of Siwon, a side darker and more frightening than Kyuhyun's evilness.

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

"Stay away from him." Siwon said sternly when Kyuhyun walked pass him in the corridor of their house.

Kyuhyun clenched his jaw and sighed before turning to Siwon. He saw them hugging earlier and he didn't like it.

"Don't even try to get close to him." Siwon warned. Kyuhyun looked at the taller man in the eyes, the latter looking back sharply and
smirking at him. "He's mine."

Siwon smirking and glaring at him sharply is such a funny thought and what did he just say a while ago? The younger chuckled and
smirked at his brother, giving him the same sharp glare and the annoying confidence... he leaned forward to whisper...

"That's my line... Copycat."
