The house was lit up dimly with only one small wall light and the stairs light were left on and leaving the living hall in total darkness.

Karam closed the door completely and locked it, smiling  as he reminiscing the warmth of Seungho's lips on his, unaware of his brother sitting on the couch staring at him. Karam walked straight to the stairs, making sure he didn't hit anything on his way.

“You know, you were right hyung." said a sudden voice from the darkness.

Karam froze at his place and slowly he turned to the voice. 'Changmin.'  He went to the switch panel and the lights. He gave a skeptical look to his brother. "Baby, what were you doing in the dark? You scared hyung half to death!"

Changmin stood up slowly,. His gaze never leaves Karam's. "I was waiting for you, hyung."

'Looks like he has something in his mind.' " But why in the dark?" Karam asked him curiously.

Changmin walked closer to Karam. "It's not important now hyung. What's most matter to me is.... what I'm going to say now.  I've been keeping it for long and I can't keep it any longer. I'm going to correct a mistake today, hyung."

"W-what are you talking about?" Karam asked, feeling confused.

"You were right, hyung. I loved you more than just a brother. Why wouldn't I just admit it when you were asking me?"

"Wha... come again?" Karam spoke, his voice a little shakier than he realized.

Changmin stared at Karam for a moment. He wasn't going to regret his decision later. He knew it. He was already regretting it before. He walked closer to Karam and stood right in front of him.

"Jung Changmin, you said..."

Changmin took a deep breath before suddenly he pulled him into a kiss. Karam could feel Changmin's lips pressing urgently against his but the shock of what was happening froze him in place. After a moment Changmin pulled away.

"That's right, hyung. You'd heard me. I love you. I love you, hyung. I really do. I wish I was brave enough to admit this to you earlier."

Karam stared at his brother, his eyes wide and unblinking. He was more confused than ever and he couldn't see straight. His eyes were cloudy and his head was throbbing. He couldn't understand anything. Karam's breathing was shallow as he gave his brother a heartbroken look.

"That's can't be true. baby. You told me..." he said sadly, "...you can never love me that way. You're too..." The rest of his sentence was cut short as Changmin wrapped his arms around him and kissed him again. His breath caught in his chest as Changmin’s body pressed against his. Their lips were locked together, as though they had always been. Changmin eventually broke away, staring into Karam's eyes.

"No. No, hyung. Don't ever think that again." He whispered. "Don't ever doubt how much I love you.” Changmin smiled, eyes pleading.

Karam felt goosebumps all over his body as a warm sensation spread throughout him. He hadn't been rejected; his seemingly crazy feelings had been returned in full. He lost words for what he supposed to reply.

"Hyung... say something." Karam heard him whispered.

Gathering himself onto his trembling legs, he spoke. "Why do you do this to hyung?  You don't have to, just go to your girl. I'm just a brother to you, right… Just... Just go away…" Karam was holding hard his tears from falling. He hid his eyes under his bang. He couldn't even look at Changmin right now.

"No! I won't! Not when finally I have you in my arms! Hyung! Look at me, please?" Changmin was begging. He tried to pull Karam by his waist into a hug again.

"NO!" Karam struggled to free himself from Changmin's tight hold.

"Look at me!" Changmin put his hands on Karam's shoulder and tried to make his brother to look at him but Karam didn't want to.

"Jung Karam, I...! Love...! You!" Changmin shouted it out. He let go of his hold on Karam's shoulder and looked at him.

Karam shoot his eyes to Changmin and looked deeply into them. He blinked for umpteenth time while his mouth opened slightly. He couldn't believe what his brother just told him. His sudden anger was filling the air, making it thick and hard to breathe.

"I have to go." Karam's voice was dull, lifeless, staring into space.

"NO!" Changmin screamed and his voice stopped Karam. "You're not leaving until you tell me you don't love me."

"Jesus..." Karam rolled his eyes.

"Say it! If you want me to stop this then at least do the job properly!"

Karam looked at him. His eyes were hurt. Seeing them make this all too real. Too relevant.

"Say it." Changmin urged. He clenched his fist tightly and his body trembling as he said that.

Karam swallowed and set his jaw hard and determined. "I don't love you." He said through gritted teeth.

Changmin knew he's lying, but deep inside him still hurts. His chest was tight and aching. "Say it again."

Karam tried to keep his eyes on Changmin's, but he can't. He looked down. "I don't love you."

"Again," Changmin ordered and Karam can see how uneven his breathing was.

Karam looked up at him. "I...d

Chapter 48: Just drop by to say that Yamapi is my favorite character and I am thankful to him for taking care of minnie. I love how both of them share the same pain so I am grateful that changmin has a shoulder to lean on who really understands him.

Chapter 28: LOL. anyway, I'm a real Yunjae fan so yeah, I don't really like them ending up with other people. And I also tend not to like people who get in the way of them being together - which is why I only read Yunjae fics where they end up together.

Chapter 28: I'm kinda annoyed at Yamapi for acting so highly just because he's "helping". As if Yunho owes him the world for taking Changmin in. Jaejoong really should not have asked for Yamapi's help. It's not like Yunho forced Jaejoong to choose him. Jaejoong chose Yunho because he loved Yunho. Yamapi really should just accept that. Besides what Yunho said is true anyway, Yamapi really did hide Jaejoong and Changmin from him, and he also tried to take them away, so Yunho's distrust of him is founded and appropriate. and yet Yamapi is acting mighty because what? Jaejoong asked him first before he asked Yunho; which I do not like by the way; the right thing to do was really to tell Yunho before anyone else - because its what married people should do. Eh, really hope Yamapi cut ties with them seriously- it's like he's waiting around for Yunho to mess up just so he could take Jaejoong again.

Chapter 49: Ugh, I kinda hate the ending, poor Changmin... And I feel Karam was too unclear about his feelings. Sometimes I felt he loved Changmin, but then he suddenly doesn't feel a thing anymore for him.
As for Seungho, well I'm not a great fan of him. During the whole story I didn't really feel that Karam loved him. He did keep saying he did, but I felt he really cared about Seungho more in a brotherly way than romantic. And to be truthful, I didn't really understand Seugho's love for Karam. He hasn't talked once to him and he's already in love ! Honestly, even if I didn't really like him he deserved a lot better that Karam.
To be honest I really felt bad and sorry for Karam in the beginning, I was kind of expecting him to be the sad one at the end, but in the end he broke Changmin and Seungho's hearts a dozen times.
And about his engagement, he was miserable the whole time, or at least not super into it. He's finally free, he's about to go and see Changing then, he suddenly changes his mind !! The ending is very incoherent. I feel as if the author rushed into it to quickly, or they suddenly changed their minds about the ending. Seriously ! I wouldn't even have minded that much about Karen and Seungho if it had been logical, but this, it was totally unexpected and not in a good way, it's irrealistic wich is a shame because I loved the prequel..
I know this is kind of harsh but I'm really sad I disappointed, I was so ready to read about Changmin and Karangasem, happy together... In overall, this is a well-written fic that I'm sure hundred of people love it but it's really not for me. I kinda which I had not wasted my time reading this and instead skipped to the last chapter like I almost did around chapter 20...

Chapter 48: I love the ending. Seungho deserves this happiness. Karam is the one with less heartache in my opinion because he already had somebody to lean on, either Seungho or Changmin. But, I really feel sorry for Changmin. He is the one hurting the most. Even though, this was just a fic, I could still feel the emotions the characters were going through. I love the way you narrated the story. Great job author <3

Chapter 45: They could have just tried a relationship if Karam loves both of them. That would've been awesome, right?
