“How long will it take to get everything ready?” Kyuhyun was parking his car. “About two, three days, all that is left is the furniture.” “Just a second Ren.” Kyuhyun switched from speaker mode to normal, and put the cell phone against his ear as he shut the car’s doors. “Ok, so this matter is set, what about my new case, you found a translator yet?”

From where Kyuhyun was standing he could see Sungmin’s apartment, the lights were off. Which was unusual, but after the day he had he was glad that he won’t need to argue with Sungmin too. Their quarrels are always about stupid things, but they still take energy.

 “I did, but they said they need at least three days to translate all the data, just like everyone else.” Ren sounded tired just as Kyuhyun was. “Three days, I don’t have three days.” Kyuhyun unintentionally, in frustration, raises his voice a little. “Yah! I know that, don’t be mad at me, it’s not my fault that they send them so late.” Ren got irritated. “Sorry.”

Kyuhyun was walking up the stairs.

“It was a long day, we both agree on that, than could you just email me the file, I’ll use my poor Japanese and quickly read it trough, if I just point out small paragraphs, they can translate it in a day, right?” “Yes, I think that could work, but tomorrow weekend starts, you will still have to wait till Monday, but I’ll send them as soon as I get home” “Ah, I forgot. Ugh, can’t you send it now, from your phone?”

Kyuhyun stood in front of the apartment and rummage his pockets for keys.

“I’m having some troubles with my phone, but don’t worry, I won’t forget.” Kyuhyun grimaced a little when he remembered something. “Wait, you’re not home yet? You left about an hour before me…” “Oh, I … I’mmm meeting a friend, yeah, so ammm yeah, I have to go, he’ll be here soon.” Ren stuttered on the other side of the phone. “A friend?” When Kyuhyun didn’t get an answer, he huffed a little, even though Ren didn’t say anything, he had an idea who that friend is. “Don’t tell me you’re meeting that jerk!” “Don’t call your brother like that.” Ren gasped a little, when the words just slipped out of . “Ren!” “But, but this time is different, he contacted me and I just need a closure that’s all, we’ll talk, that’s all. You don’t need to worry about me, ok. I have to go now; you’ll get the files in about one, two hours. Bye.” Ren ended the call before Kyuhyun could say anything more.

He only mumbled a few curse words and unlocked the apartment. He took off his shoes and put his brief case on the lime couch. He went to the kitchen and put some water on the stove. Coffee will help him stay up a couple of hours more. As the water was heating up, he used the bathroom. The bedrooms doors are just in front of the bathroom and they are wide open, Kyuhyun hesitates a little.

Is he considered a creep if he peeks inside? When Sungmin is sleeping she looks like an angel, but her morning screaming is far from that.

Kyuhyun smiles when he remembers their mornings and takes a few steps inside the room. His eyes land on the empty bed. That’s strange.

“Where is she?” He mumbles to himself and looks at the clock, on the night stand. 9:48 PM, she’s usually home by this time. Should he be worried?

He pulls out his phone and grimace; he doesn’t have Sungmin’s phone number, should he call Ryeowook? She acted so strange last night, what if something happened. He pressed the call button just when he heard the front door open. He put the phone away and quickly ran towards the entrance.

“Sungmin, is that you?” He called and when he saw her he got really worried. She was pale as snow.

“No, grandmother Kim, who else has the keys to MY apartment!?” Sungmin sarcastically stated, she sounded irritated. She really didn’t want to deal with Kyuhyun now. The things that happened were still fresh and she hated how they affected her.

“Ryeowook also has the keys…” Kyuhyun sentence ended almost like a whisper when Sungmin glared at him, she clearly wasn’t in a good mood. “Something happened?” He then carefully asked as Sungmin took off her shoes and strolled into the kitchen. Kyuhyun went after her, he lean on the wall and watch how Sungmin roomed through the fridge. His eyes trailed down Sungmin’s spine, her perky and lean legs. Even pregnant that girl has curves. When Sungmin slammed the fridge shut, he realized he was staring and when his eyes shot up, Sungmin was looking right into his eyes, he coughed a little and looked away, slightly open, like she wanted to say something, but didn’t know what.

The awkward situation was saved when the water on the stove boiled and Kyuhyun hurried over and made himself some coffee.

Sungmin didn’t find anything good in the fridge so she looked through the cabinets, she wasn’t even hungry, she didn’t even know why she’s looking for food. There was complete silence, but in hear head, questions pureed like rain. She harshly slammed the cabinet when she found a bag of chips. Kyuhyun flinched a little and almost spilled his coffee. She can’t do this, she can pretend that she doesn’t care, but she knows she’s only fooling herself. She has to ask.

“So … are you seeing someone?” She didn’t look at him; she opened the bag of chips and put them in a bowl. Kyuhyun eyed her a little, what was this about? “Ammm no … are you seeing someone?” He carefully asked. “No.”

Sungmin took her bowl and sat down on the couch.

“But you know, our relationship is … hmmm complicated?” Sungmin continued. “We just decided we’ll take care of our child, is not like we’ll be a real family or anything, and you know, a girl has … needs and I believe you have them too …” She didn’t look at shocked Kyuhyun and the TV. Kyuhyun was quiet and the only sounds in the room were the TV and Sungmin’s munching on the chips.

“This is not going to work like that” Kyuhyun finally spoke. “You said no boyfriends and I said no girlfriends, it’s supposed to be just you, me and the baby.” Sungmin’s heart skipped a beat and she swiftly turned to look at Kyuhyun, his words surprised her. She than huffed and turned her attention back to TV. “Look who’s talking…” She mumbled and pinched her arm, because Kyuhyun’s words rise up feelings she didn’t know and she wanted to distract them with pain, something she knows too well. But Kyuhyun still heard her. “Yah! What was that?” He moves his brief case to the small table in front of the couch and sits down beside Sungmin.

“What do you mean by; who’s talking? I’m not dating anyone” He points at himself. And Sungmin just hums and rolls her eyes. “Sure, sure …”

Kyuhyun was tired and out of energy but Sungmin’s behavior boiled his blood. He took the bowl out of her hands. “Tell me what is bothering you!” “Yah! Give it back!” Sungmin finally turned his direction and tried to snatch the bowl back.

“Not until you tell me why you are acting so strange” Kyuhyun held the bowl higher. “Don’t be such a child and give it back!” Sungmin raised on her knees, like this she was taller than sitting Kyuhyun, and with her finger tips she could touch the bowl. “Got it” She laughed for the first time this evening and Kyuhyun smiles as well and leans back even more and as Sungmin also leans more she loses balance and crashes on top of Kyuhyun, the bowl landed on the floor and chips all over the room.

Sungmin’s hands landed on Kyuhyun’s chest and their faces inches apart. They stared at each other for a couple of seconds, but than Sungmin quickly moved away. “Look what you did!” She tried to stand up, but Kyuhyun grabs her hand and pulls her back down.

“Sungmin” He wispier her name and chills run down Sungmin’s spine. “Tell me, what’s wrong?” “It’s stupid …” Sungmin mumbles and looks away.

“Don’t get me wrong, I just feel, aaah, you know, you don’t have to stick with me just because of the baby, you can live with her and visit our baby time to time.” Kyuhyun stares at her. “What are you talking about? Live with who?” “Your girlfriend! Who else? And don’t give me that crap about not having one, I saw you guys …” As Kyuhyun just stares back Sungmin got irritated. “That blond one, now that I think about it, you said I looked good with blond hair, do you have a blond hair ?” She forcefully laughed.

Kyuhyun’s mind was working with full speed. He met a bunch of people today, most of them are his clients, and with whom did Sungmin saw him?

“You mean Ren?” “I don’t know her name!” Sungmin rolls her eyes. “We are just friends.” “Do friends give you the keys to their apartment?” “Ryeowook has yo…” “Ok, ok.” Sungmin cut him off.

“But we are family, that’s different.” “Well, I consider Ren my family, we are friends since forever, we went to the same secondary and high school.” Sungmin takes a deep breath. Please, now he’s going to lie about it?

“Kyuhyun, weren’t you and Siwon classmates in high school?” Kyuhyun nods. “Didn’t you both attend an ALL BOYS high school?” Kyuhyun nods again, everything she is  saying is true. “So, than, can you explain me how Ren could attend the same school as you? She would have to be a boy.” Sungmin looks at Kyuhyun, and the latter nods again.

Sungmin stares at him. It didn’t look like he was kidding. “A-are you serious?” Kyuhyun smiles and nods again. “Why are you laughing than, stop making a fool out of me!” Sungmin wined and lightly punched Kyuhyun’s shoulder. “Aau, I’m not kidding, just your expression is priceless” Kyuhyun than laughed.

“But she really is a guy, trust me. And we are just friends, nothing more; she’s actually in love with my … brother.” Sungmin gaped back at Kyuhyun.

“A? O …a…” Sungmin couldn’t believe her ears.

“B-but isn’t your brother married?” Sungmin remembered her embarrassing encounter with the Cho family. “I have two brothers, Sungkyu and L, you saw Sungkyu, L was overseas at that time, he just recently came back.” Kyuhyun leaned back on the couch, it looked like he doesn’t want to talk about his brothers and Sungmin didn’t ask more about them.

“Why is he, she dressing like that? Does he want to change … ? But, what about school? Was he always like that?” Sungmin carefully asked, she suddenly had a lot of questions; she never met anyone like that. “Well, Ren was always a little feminine. It started in high school; Siwon, me and Ren would hang at our house after class. And one day we were just fooling around like usual and me and Ren made a bet, whoever loses, has to dresses up as a girl and go down the street to the first candy shop and bring back sweets.”

Sungmin muted the TV and came a little closer to Kyuhyun and also leaned back on the couch, this was interesting, she never heard Kyuhyun talking like this, about himself and with this voice.

“When he put on my sisters clothes me and Siwon just stood there and gape at him, he was a completely different person. And the way he dressed himself up I knew he didn’t do it for the first time, about a week later, he told us that he feels more comfortable in girls clothes as in boys, and he was afraid we would mock him or hate him. He was our friend, how could we hate him? And after that, he was a she for us and after school, he always put on my sisters clothes.” Kyuhyun let out a sigh and look at Sungmin, who was looking back at him, with big eyes.

“And where does your brother come in the story?” Sungmin’s question surprised Kyu. He let out his breath and started talking again. “Well, me and L, didn’t attend the same high school, he played violin and he attended an art high school, so when he met Ren, he didn’t knew she was actually a boy, and when he found out, things … got ugly.” Kyuhyun felt a light bump agent’s his shoulder; Sungmin fell asleep. He chuckled, when did she fall asleep, she was wide awake just a second ago. He slight nudged her.

“Sungmin … Sungmin … wouldn’t it be better if you went to sleep in your bed? I can’t carry both of you.” He whispered and put his hand on Sungmin’s growing belly. Sungmin doesn’t let him touch her a lot, so he used this situation to have a small chat with his unborn baby.

“Hey peanut” He smiled. “Here is your appa and he can’t wait to meet you.” He bends down and kisses Sungmin’s belly. “And be there when you grow up into a big boy” After that Kyuhyun hears small chuckles. “How many times do I have to tell you, we’re having a baby girl.” He straightens up, he though Sungmin was asleep. Oh, well, this is embarrassing.

“You’re so cute.” Sungmin flung her arms around Kyuhyun’s neck and kissed his cheek. “Here you are, being strange again” Kyuhyun mumbled more to himself than anything. Sungmin sat down on his lap and stare at his face. “You know, you’re not that bad looking … actually, you’re pretty handsome.” She murmured.

She’s behaving the same she did after they came home from that party. She dozed off in the car, and when he woke her up, she was all roses and sunshine’s, she kissed him a bunch of times and told everyone, that they met on the stairs that they are getting married. And in the morning she didn’t remember any of it, it’s like she was drunk, but she didn’t drink anything. It was really strange, just like now.

“Is this called sleep talking … or walking?” Kyuhyun murmured to himself.
