Pairing: Wonkyu

Today, seeing Kyuhyun travel alone to Chile without you know who stirred up something within me.

I don't think it is angst though.

I don't think it is fair to blame Siwon for never being there when Kyuhyun needs him. And we all agree that Kyuhyun doesn't even need alot from him and still Siwon had difficulties giving him that simply because Siwon had too many commitments to fulfil in his life.

Yet, the tiny irrational side in me gets me irated whenever I see my bbkyu all alone....

And hence, this fic completes itself.


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

“Why?”

“Please.”

“Why do you want to go back?”

“I must. He’s hurting really bad.”

Siwon looked up at the pink clouds above him. He not sure if God is up there amongst the clouds but that’s what everyone assumes so he will not chance it.

“Why?” The voice asks again. Siwon has no doubt it’s God talking to him, because he is washed over by a wave of warmth and calm despite feeling nothing in this realm of nothingness he is confined to for the past how long.

“I promised him that I will be by his side to hold his hand every single moment he needs me to.”

“But you did not. Not always.”

Siwon lowers his head in shame. “It’s true. The times I’ve been away from him has increased without my realizing it.”

“Have you seen the tears he shed for you during those times?”

“Y-yes.” Siwon admitted reluctantly. He’s well aware of the times his maknae had cried alone in his room, all his hyungs made it a point to remind him because, like him, they love him too.

“Then why now? Is this a futile attempt to make yourself feel better?”

“Please let me go back to his side.” Siwon pleads again. “I don’t care about how I feel, but I want to be by his side now. He needs me.”

“He’s already used to you away from him. He will survive it this time.”

“No! He needs me!”

“We’ll see.”

“Wh-what?! No! Don’t leave, please! Wait! Wait!”

@

Left alone again in this empty void, Siwon is thankful that he can hear his beloved’s voice carried to him by the winds. Sometimes soft, sometimes loud, but always saturated with tears. His heart had broken into a million pieces over and over again, how he wants to hold him and tell him that everything is going to be okay.

“Won ~” Kyuhyun calls out to him softly.

“Yes, baby?” Siwon answered even though Kyuhyun couldn’t possibly hear him.

“The doctor said again today….that you are not going to ever wake up.” Kyuhyun murmured in a broken voice. “Why is he so cruel?”

Another crack appears on Siwon’s fragile heart. “No….” He whispers sadly.

“You know what, Won?” Kyuhyun’s voice asks again.

“No, what, babe?”

“I do not believe that quack for one moment. You will wake up. You will come back to me. You are going to proof to that quack that he is wrong.”

Siwon lowered his head in a moment of intense grief. He dare not answer, he has no answer at all. Lost in his own thoughts, he was made suddenly aware of how silent his surroundings are.

“Kyu? Baby?” His head snapped up, he listened hard but he can’t hear a sound. Panicking, he stood up and began running towards the highest pinnacle he could see. “Kyu?! Talk to me, babe! I can’t hear you! Please, babe!”

Huffing with exertions, he climbed and slipped in his hurry to get to the top. Loose rocks clattered down the side of the dry rocks loudly as he pulled himself up with agonizing slowness, his muscles straining painfully.

At last he could hear Kyuhyun’s voice again. He’s singing a song. Encouraged, Siwon forged on till he reached the plateau at last. Falling onto his back completely exhausted, he listened with a tender smile on his face as the beautiful voice sang about lost love and hope. Comforting warmth enveloped his aching body and strokes him gently like an invisible hand. Gradually, Siwon fell asleep to the singing voice.

@

“What is this place?” Siwon chose to ask the next time ‘God’ decides to talk to him again.

“This is known as ‘Nothing’.”

“Nothing?” Siwon mutters uncomprehendingly. “How can nothing be a place? Nothing is nothingness, it shouldn’t have an existence.” He argues.

“Nothing is not nothingness. You are here, you are in nothing but you are something.”

“I don’t understand. Am I alive or dead? This limbo frustrates me.”

“You are not dead yet. But you are nothing till you revive.”

“So I am here because I am not awake?”

“Yes.”

“That means I have the chance to wake up?” Realization hits Siwon and he glowed with hope.

“Maybe.”

“Maybe?! What do you mean?!” Siwon’s face paled.

“You are nothing till you are something to someone.”

“I don’t understand.” Siwon’s face fell.

“Think about it.”

@

Siwon sat on the highest plateau to ponder. His arms are wrapped around his knees held close to his chest. Kyuhyun is telling him about his day and he listens with half an ear.

“And that’s how my day went.” Kyuhyun’s voice concludes. “How was your day, Won? I’m sure you must be feeling frustrated not being able to tweet. You always were obsessed with tweeting for the ELFs.”

Siwon’s head snapped up on hearing the crack in Kyuhyun’s voice. Suddenly Siwon found himself sitting in a torrent of rain as Kyuhyun sobbed and apologized for losing his composure again.

“No, baby, please don’t cry.” Siwon pleaded hoarsely, his own tears falling too.

“It’s just…..you were always there for me, for the ELFs and now ~” Kyuhyun wept.

“Baby ~” Siwon’s tears are falling too now.

“It must be me. God is punishing me by losing you.” Kyuhyun cried heartbrokenly. “For taking you …committing this sin…..I-I…..”

“No, baby, you are perfect! God wouldn’t punish you.” Siwon disagrees fervently.

@

“Why are you doing this?” Siwon demanded angrily at the clouds the next time they spoke.

“I did nothing.” A calm reply came back to him.

“Why are you punishing us like this? What did we do wrong?”

“I am not punishing you.”

Siwon’s knees suddenly weakened and he kneeled heavily onto the rocky ground in despair. Dropping his head into his hands, he broke into helpless tears. “Why? Why are you doing this to us? Why?”

“I will never punish you. But I do need to teach you, even if it meant you cannot understand it in the beginning.”

“Why…..why….” Siwon continued to whimper. He could no longer hear the voice of reason, his heart hurts too much to care.

@

“Won~”

Every nerve in Siwon’s body tingled with ill premonition. There is weariness in Kyuhyun’s voice but more than ever, there is a trace of defeat.

“I’m so ~ tired.” Kyuhyun’s articulation is weak, it got weaker at the last word. But Siwon heard him as if it was as loud as a clap of thunder.

“No, baby! No, you can’t ~” Siwon pleaded aloud.

“I give up ~” Kyuhyun cuts in, his voice wet with tears.

“NO!” Siwon roared in desperation. His voice echoed hollowly through the empty space he is currently trapped in.

Nothing answered him, not even a whisper of wind.

“Baby?” Siwon whimpered feeling fear brought on by the eerie silence.

“Won ~”

“Yes, baby?”

“Do you love me?” Kyuhyun sighed.

“Yes! Yes! I love you, baby! I do! I really do!” Siwon begged.

“Sometimes I can’t be really sure if you loved me.” Kyuhyun’s voice carried a trace of wistfulness.  “Every single thing in your life is important to you. I am too, aren’t I?”

“Yes! Yes!”

“Then…..why do I feel like I am not?”

Siwon’s jaw dropped and his mouth fell open in a silent scream. His heart hurts, a lot.

“But I know you loved me, and I am no less important….but it was so easy to tell me to wait. I waited, Wonnie, I really did.” Kyuhyun began weeping again.

“I know you did, baby. I know you did.” Siwon’s tears are falling too. A pang of guilt stabbed his heart rendering him breathless.

“But….it’s not enough, is it? It’s never enough.” Kyuhyun mutters. “I still hoped, and prayed, that you will remember me some time, that you will give up everything just to be with me. But….you can’t.”

Siwon’s breathing hitched.

“And now, even though you are lying here, I am still unable to get your attention.”

Siwon could hear the anguish in his lover’s voice.

“No, baby, you have my attention….I am listening to you right now ~”

“I can never have you to myself.” There is now a trace of mockery in Kyuhyun’s voice and frankly, Siwon is shocked.

“Good bye, Won.”

“What?! No! Baby, don’t leave me! Don’t leave me! I love you! I love you!”

Despite Siwon’s frantic screaming, only silence answered him and after a long while he stopped, finally accepting the truth that Kyuhyun has left him behind.

@

“Are you crying?”

“Leave me be. I don’t want to talk to you.” Siwon mumbled dejectedly with his forehead resting on his knees as he sat holding his legs folded against him.

“You are sad.”

Silence.

“Why?”

Siwon’s head snapped up. He is suddenly feeling anger, unjustified anger. He needs to lash out at someone, anyone. Present company seems like a perfect choice.

“WHY?! WHY?! HOW COULD YOU ASK ME WHY?!” He yelled with his head raised up to the clouds.

“I am stuck here and my lover left me out of disappointment!” Siwon raged. “And you ask me why?”

“Are you sure?”

“W-what?” Siwon is stupefied.

“Are you sure that’s the reason?”

Siwon fell silent. His mind is whirling and his heart is hurting. He can’t think straight.

“You have no faith, my child.”

“I have no faith?” Siwon repeats unsurely in a harsh whisper.

“You have no faith in me, you have no faith in the world, you have no faith in the one you chose to love.”

The confused young man sat repeating the words yet nothing touched him.

“Listen.”

“Siwon? Siwon, if you can hear us.”

“Hae?”

“If you can hear us, please come back.” Hyukjae said next.

“Wh-what’s wrong?” Siwon asks, his body suddenly starting to shake.

“It’s…it’s Kyu…..he…..he…..” Donghae starts to stutter then starts to cry.

“Kyu? What happened to Kyu? What?!”

“Kyu overdosed on sleeping pills last night. He is in a coma now, the doctors can’t wake him.” Hyukjae said hesitantly.

Siwon’s eyes bulged in shock and his mouth fell open. Icy coldness is spreading throughout his whole body paralyzing him.

“Please come back, Siwon. He needs you.” Donghae adds tearfully.

That spurred Siwon into action instantly. He cried and begged but the voice remained silent. Frustration bubbled within him and he began to rant and yelled but the pink clouds remained still.

“What do I have to do to move you? Tell me! TELL ME! PLEASE! I need to go back! He needs me!”

“Please! Please! Please…” Siwon fell onto his knees holding his head between his elbows howling. He felt trapped like a helplessly caged animal. This is a new feeling for him and he doesn’t like it.

“Look over there.” The voice told him quietly.

Raising his head once again, he looked ahead of himself.

“There.”

A solitary being is sitting on a small hillock, arms holding his legs tightly to his thin chest, all curled up like a forsaken child. Siwon narrowed his eyes squinting at the faraway figure.

“Kyu?”

As the sun shifts and throws its rays onto the lonesome one, Siwon recognized the mop of caramel curls and the pale skin. With that realization Siwon began to run. He ran like he never ran before, the ground is fraught with loose pebbles and sand, slipping his every step. But his heart flew ahead of him, he could almost see his arms thrown around his lover again.

“KYU! KYU!”

At first Kyuhyun did not move. Gradually as Siwon nears and his voice reached him, the boy unraveled his slender arms and sat up straighter to peer around.

“Siwon?”

“KYU!”

Kyuhyun stood up from where he is crouching to face the running figure gradually approaching him. Stunned, he continued to stare as Siwon finally came to a stop before him and bends double wheezing from the exertion.

“Won ~” Kyuhyun called out tentatively at the man resting his hands on his bent knees gulping for air.

Siwon is eager to have his arms around his young lover again but he is still very winded. To his surprise, Kyuhyun threw himself on the ground before him and wrap those familiar soft arms around his neck tenderly, pulling each other into a tight embrace.

“Won! Wonnie! Wonnie!” Kyuhyun cried pulling the older man tighter and tighter against him. Siwon fell to his knees too and they embraced so tightly they were squeezing air out of each other’s lungs.

“Kyu, my baby kyu….” Siwon cried too.

“I missed you so much!” Kyuhyun whispers urgently.

“I miss you too, baby.” Siwon replied.

“I missed your voice.” Kyuhyun mutters.

“I don’t ~” Siwon adds but was cut off when Kyuhyun pushes himself apart to stare at him.

“You don’t?” Kyuhyun glared heartbroken.

“What I was trying to say is, I don’t because I can hear you every single minute you were by my side.”

“You can hear me?” Kyuhyun is flabbergasted as he stared uncomprehendingly at Siwon’s beaming face.

“I can hear every word you said, and the songs you sang to me.” Siwon replied, his dimples getting deeper. Then he remembered the last time Kyuhyun spoke to him.

“Baby, please don’t leave me? I am a bad lover. I neglected you and I demanded that you allow everything else to take precedence.

“I never meant for things to be this way. You are the most precious to me, I shouldn’t have pushed you aside.”

“What are you saying, Wonnie? I did not say I am going to leave you ~” Kyuhyun is shocked.

“B-but…you said goodbye….” Siwon pouts. Kyuhyun giggled as he leaned in and peck those pouting lips.

“I wasn’t saying goodbye goodbye, I was just saying goodbye because I had to leave!” Kyuhyun chuckles at the scowling man. “A really good idea struck me when I was talking to you and I wanted to go home quickly to try it out!”

“What was the good idea?” Siwon asks curiously.

“If you can’t come to me, I shall go to you!” Kyuhyun declared with pride.

“What?!” Siwon is feeling totally lost now.

A familiar mischievous glint appears in Kyuhyun’s brown orbs. “I took two bottles of sleeping pills. The way I figured it, if I can get myself to your level of unconsciousness I will be able to see you again.”

Siwon’s heart pounded abruptly. His face paled and mouth dried as he perspires. His eyes large and bulging stared hard at the boy before him.

“YOU WHAT?!” He bellowed. Kyuhyun was startled so badly he jumped visibly. “How could you toy with your life like that?”

Kyuhyun whimpered as he shrunk away in the presence of a very angry and upset Siwon.

“What happens if you went too far and died instead!” Siwon’s tears threaten to fall at the frightening thought of losing his beloved. “How could you do this to me!”

Initially mesmerized by Siwon’s tears, Kyuhyun’s own tears soon made an appearance too. He cried so hard his whole body began to shudder. “B-but I wanted to see you again…..I missed you so much!” He wept with fervor.

Siwon’s heart broke at the sight of the distraught boy hugging himself tightly as if against some serious threat. The loneliness and sorrow portrayed by him is just plain heartbreaking. Without another word Siwon pulled the small body into his embrace and held him tight against his warm core. Try as he may to curb his own tears, he allowed the boy to weep out his own sorrow.

@

“Hey baby?”

“….”

After the crying stopped, Kyuhyun refuses to leave Siwon’s arms. Resting his aching head on his lover’s strong shoulder, he drifts in and out of consciousness.

And so they sat without exchanging another word for a long time, instead letting their bodies to react naturally.

“Baby, are you asleep?” Siwon whispers softly into Kyuhyun’s ear.

“Yes.”

“Baby, you have to go back. I don’t want you stuck here in a limbo too.”

Kyuhyun pushes himself off the delicious warmth. “You don’t want me here?” He pouts cutely.

“Of course I do, baby.” Siwon frowns. “But I want you alive and well and healthy even more.”

“But if I leave I won’t be able to see you.” Kyuhyun murmurs sadly, lowering his eyes to look at his fingers.

There is nothing Siwon wants more than have the man he adores next to him, even if they are trapped in this nothingness for eternity. But he cannot be so selfish; he needs to let Kyuhyun go, let him return to life again.

“No, baby, you have to live on for us.” Siwon insists. The dejected look on Kyuhyun’s face is unsettling him and he is tempted to take back his words. He had to bite down on his lips hard to stop himself.

“Baby ~” Siwon tries again but Kyuhyun is refusing to look at him now, silently fuming at his lover.

Instead Siwon got onto his feet and look at up. “God? Are you there?”

Kyuhyun’s head snapped up as he directs a look of incredibility at Siwon as if the man has gone mad.

“Yes, I am.” A disembodied echoing voice replied making the boy jump.

“You have to help me send Kyuhyun back.”

“Why?”

“He doesn’t belong here. You cannot keep him here.” Siwon replied reasonably.

“He chose to come here. He chose to join you here. It’s not my will.”

“You cannot keep him here!” Siwon argues hotly now as he glared at the pink clouds.

“You hurt him again.” Came the dry reply. Siwon looked down in a hurry to catch the tears rolling down Kyuhyun’s cheeks. In an act of defiance, Kyuhyun lowered his head quickly and swiped away his tears angrily with the back of his hand.

“No! You have to let Kyuhyun go!” Siwon argues. “Keep me here forever if you must!”

“Won ~” Kyuhyun seems to finally grasp the situation. Scrambling onto his feet in a hurry he wrapped his arms around Siwon and look up too at the clouds. “NO! LET US BOTH GO!”

“Kyu ~” Siwon is pleasantly surprised by the determination Kyuhyun is showing.

“LET US GO!” Kyuhyun demands again.

“Why?”

Again Siwon is stumped by the question but apparently Kyuhyun is not.

“Because we are deeply in love and no one can keep us separated! Stop being naive!”

Siwon blinked in extreme surprise now. Unlike himself, Kyuhyun is displaying an exceptional level of resoluteness.

“How can you be so sure he loves you like you do him? He is never around when you need him.” The voice challenged.

He’s right. Siwon agrees quietly.

“He loves me! He doesn’t have to be around every second to convince me of that! It is what he does when he is by my side that matters.”

Both the voice and Siwon is rendered speechless.

“You still there?” It is Kyuhyun’s turn to challenge.

“….”

“LET US BOTH GO!”

“Choi Siwon?” The voice calls out shaking with mirth.

“Yes?”

“It has been proven that you are something to someone.”

Siwon stared.

“Even if you had not been desirable.” The voice laughs.

“Hey, no dissing my boyfriend!” Kyuhyun warns hotly.

“It’s time for the both of you to leave.”

@

“HYUNG! Siwon and Kyuhyun are regaining consciousness now!”

THE END

Pairing: KangTeuk, Kyuhyun, Siwon, Heechul, Donghae, Eunhyuk, Yesung, Ryeowook, Shindong, Sungmin

But I hunger for com~ *ahem* I mean nice constructive criticism...or plain gushing about how cute it is (smile) so I decide to post this  right here right now!

I hope you will like it <3

Once upon a time, there was a happy little, erm, maybe not so little, ok, to tell you the truth, a rather huge family. It has a appa, a umma, and 9 boys. Yup, you heard me, 9 boisterous (read: loud, noisy, wild) boys.

“I do not want to hear another wisecrack about how fertile my umma is.”

“I wasn’t – YAH! Who’s telling the story here, kid?”

“You are.”

God, how can such an evil smirk form on such an angelic face….

“Do you hear me, author-sshi? No wisecracks!”

“Wise- How old are you, kid? Do you even know the definition of the word?”

“Unfortunately, yes.”

Oh my, a kid infused with the talent for melodrama….God save me…..

“I am the clever one. All my hyungs are dorks.”

Dorks? Where did this kid get his vocabulary?!

“Yes, well, I am telling the story so suck it up, kid. Run along and play now.”

Ok, now where was I? Oh yes, the rather huge family.

Kangin appa, Teukie umma, Princess Heechul, Awkward Yesung, Chubby Shindong, Pretty Sungmin, Happy Hyukjae, Sensitive Donghae, Protective Siwon, Gentle Ryeowook and finally that evil wiseass baby, Kyuhyun.

“YAH! I am not an evil wiseass baby!”

“No?”

“I’m already four! I’m not a baby!”

Cue - author face palmed herself.

“Ok, you are four, you are all grown up. NOW can I get on with my story?”

“Yes please.”

Ugh….that sweet smile….I cannot……I’m dead.

WHACK!

“OW! Hey! Whacha think you are doing!”

Hyukjae glared at the person who just smacked him on the back of the head with their heavy chemistry textbook.

“SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

Rubbing the painful spot where the book had landed, Hyukjae suddenly felt the urge to laugh at his attacker. Since they are both in the library and anymore tomfoolery is discouraged, he had no choice but to grab the boy’s wrist and drag him along out of the silent room.

‘What did you think you were doing hitting me on the head with that?!” Hyukjae starts yelling at his best friend the moment they are in the safety of the noisy canteen.

“You are kidnapped and brain-washed by aliens, Hyukkie! I had to wake you up!”

“Brainwashed by aliens? What are you talking about?” Hyukjae mutters angrily as he sat down in an empty seat and gestured for Donghae to do the same.

“You are studying in the library, Hyukkie!” Donghae shouted agitatedly. Under any other circumstances, Hyukjae would have thought the worried look on Donghae’s face is comical.

“So?”

“So?! So! You will never step into the library or study on your own accord unless you are under threat! Or brainwashed! Or turn mad!”

‘Hey, hey, that’s enough bruising of my ego for one day.” Hyukkie warned.

“Well?” Donghae asks after his giggles stopped.

“Well what?” Hyukjae looks at his friend dubiously.

“What did your alien kidnapper look like?” Donghae asks eagerly but all Hyukjae did was roll his eyes at him.

“I wasn’t kidnapped by an alien, Hae.” Hyukjae decides to try patience with his bestie and was rather sorry to see disappointment written all over the innocent boy’s face. Maybe he should have just gone along with the silly theory.

“So what were you doing in the library then?” Donghae challenged after he managed to overcome his urge to cry.

“I was scouring the student news for a part time job.”

“You want to work after school?”

“Not want, need.” Hyukkie sighed. “I need like $400 by next month.”

“What?! Why? You want to buy a new set of comics?” Donghae is in complete confusion. Hyukjae shuddered at the reminder of his extravagant hobby of collecting comics.

“Urg….noooo!” He snapped with a grimace.

“$400 is a huge sum of cash!” His best friend since birth reminds him pointedly.

“Ok, Ok, I’ll let you in on the secret but you must swear not to tell anyone else!”

“Promise!”

“Pinky promise.” Hyukjae is still not convinced of his loud mouth friend keeping his secret. Both boys hooked their pinky fingers with serious looks on their faces.

“I need the cash to give my Appas an anniversary present.”

“Anniversary present? You must be planning something really expensive.”

Hyukjae nodded miserably. “I started saving for it a year ago but I am still short of $400.”

‘What are you planning to buy, Hyukkie?” Donghae starts to sound worried.

“I was planning on giving them a short holiday trip to Japan.”

‘Why?”

‘Why what?”

“Why Japan? Why not Jeju Island?”

“Oh.” Hyukjae couldn’t help being speechless for a second while Donghae stared at him earnestly with his large puppy dog eyes waiting for his answer. “Good question.”

Donghae nodded beaming with pride at his clever question. Then Hyukjae scowled. ‘Stop messing with my mind, Hae. That’s what I planned and I am going ahead with it no matter what it takes!”

@

“Good morning, son.” Siwon greeted as he came up behind the boy sitting at the dining table devouring his breakfast like he hasn’t eaten for days.

“Morning, Appa.” Hyukjae greeted back, voice muffled by the stuff he stuffed into his mouth.

“Slow down, Hyukkie!” Kyuhyun can be heard yelling from the kitchen. Both father and son made a mock grimace and burst out laughing.

“Your Kyuppa is right. Where’s the fire?” Siwon said nevertheless as he picks up the morning papers.

“I promised Hae I would pick him up on the way to school.” Hyukjae replied as he swallows rapidly. Siwon could only stare at his rambunctious son in awe.

“Hyukkie!” Kyuhyun walked out of the kitchen in time to see the boy doing exactly what he told him not to do. Hyukjae jumped onto his feet and slings his schoolbag around his thin frame before his umma could give him a lecture.

“Ah ah I’m late! Appa, Kyuppa, I have to go! Bye!” Hyukjae bounded out of the front door as fast as his thin legs can carry him.

“That boy ~” Kyuhyun is speechless, visibly upset with his mischievous son.

‘There, there, dear.” Siwon pats his spouse’s hand as an attempt to comfort him. “Let’s have breakfast.”

“Hyuuuung ~” Kyuhyun whined at his nonchalant husband.

“Yes, baby, I’ll talk to him tonight.” Siwon placates evenly. He is all too aware that his spouse wants to raise a gentleman son but Hyukjae, well, he is just not ready to ‘settle down’.

@

“You promise to cover for me.” Hyukjae reminds Donghae in a threatening manner.

Donghae swallowed nervously and nodded against his will. Hyukjae flashed him a conspirator’s smile. “I’m off then!”

Watching his friend rides off on his bike, Donghae’s eyes revealed loneliness and sadness. Hyukjae has been working part time after school everyday and on weekends too. They haven’t hanged out together for two weeks now.

But every time Hyukjae’s umma called to check on him, Donghae would cover for him by making up all kinds of excuses to explain why he couldn’t come to the phone. And Donghae being the ever imaginative boy refuses to recycle his stories, coming up with a new one every single time. Unknown to him, his recent stories are edging on ridiculous.

And that is how Donghae found himself confronted by a silent Siwon and an agitated Kyuhyun. Looking down at his nervously twisting hands, poor Donghae can only imagine how seriously in trouble he is in now with Hyukjae’s parents and his own when he goes home.

“Donghae, I know you are loyal to your friend.” Siwon started calmly. “He is your best friend, it is only fair.”

“Is Hyukkie in trouble, Donghae?” Kyuhyun suppresses his anxiety to avoid intimidating the sensitive boy.

Donghae shook his head mutely.

“If he is in any trouble, we need to know.” Siwon adds.

Again the teenager shook his head. The two adults exchanged uneasy looks.

“Donghae?” Kyuhyun tries again.

“I’m sorry! I promised Hyukkie I would cover for him!” Donghae starts to cry.

“Donghae ~” Siwon’s brows pinched together with apprehension and disapproval now.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I promised Hyukkie not to tell you that he is worki –“

Three pairs of eyes widened in surprise as the words leave the boy’s mouth.

“Working?” Siwon questioned.

“Why is Hyukkie working?” Kyuhyun gasps in confusion.

“He ~”

“Is he spending more than his pocket money?” Siwon asks gravely and Donghae shook his head mutely. The realization that he betrayed his best friend is starting to hurt.

“Why does he need more money?” Kyuhyun presses on.

“Be-because he wants to give you a short trip to Japan as your anniversary present, and he is short of $400.” Donghae continues to spill the beans. It feels a lot easier to do once he already did it once.

And that’s how Hyukjae found his parents waiting for him when he came home that night after a grueling 6 hours’ work at the juice stand in the mall.

Donghae ratted on me! That was his first thought when he saw how severe his parents look and how suffocating the atmosphere in the house is.

“Appa, Kyuppa.” He greeted nervously after swallowing the painful lump in his throat.

“Can we have a talk, son?” Siwon asks although nothing in his voice suggested that Hyukjae has the freedom to refuse. He took a seat before his parents, lowering his head to avoid their glare.

“Hyukkie ~” Kyuhyun was about to start when his son cuts him off.

“Appa, Kyuppa, I’m sorry for lying to you.” Hyukjae’s breathing became rushed as he decides to come clean and hope for light punishment.

For a long while no one spoke. The silence thickens in the room. Hyukjae dare not raise his head to meet the gazes of his parents, he is sure that all he is going to see only disapproval and disappointment in their eyes.

Hyukjae is startled out of his thoughts when he felt the couch he is sitting on dipped. Next a pair of arms came around him to pull him into a hug. He still dare not raise his eyes but from the scent he can tell it is his Kyuppa holding him. Suddenly finding himself surrounded by familiar softness, he began to sob.

Long soft fingers ran through his hair gently as he cried pathetically. At some point in time he had wrapped his arms around his umma’s waist and pulled himself closer.

“I’m sorry…” He whispered as his torrent of tears slowed to a trickle. The fingers left his hair to rub his back soothingly.

“Feeling better, baby?” Kyuhyun asks softly.

Hyukjae sat up nodding mutely. Now he is embarrassed for losing his composure before his parents. He is a 15 year old mucho macho male! He isn’t supposed to run into his umma’s arms and cry like a 3 year old!

“Son, don’t blame Donghae. He had your interests in heart when he told us what you’ve been doing lately.” Siwon starts, taking care to lighten his voice.

“We appreciate your wish to give us a wonderful anniversary present.” Kyuhyun continues. “I always wanted to visit Japan.”

Hyukjae finally found courage to raise his head and look at both his Appas. He saw an understanding smile on Siwon’s face and tenderness in Kyuhyun’s eyes.

“But it is beyond the means of a 15 year old, we would never be able to live with ourselves if we went at the expense of you sacrificing all your after school hours.”

“We don’t want that, son. When we had you, we promised that we will provide the best we can afford for you.” Siwon said.

“We can wait, when you are all grown up and can truly afford to pay for a holiday for us.” Kyuhyun said. “There is no hurry.”

“Kyuppa…..”

Kyuhyun smiled as he strokes his son’s cheek. “This year is quite a milestone in your appa and my marriage. So we made some special plans. We included you, baby, so don’t make plans to give us alone time.”

“We are going to celebrate it as a family.” Siwon chuckles at the sight of Hyukjae’s eyes shining with excitement.

“I’m so sorry, Hyukkie…..I didn’t mean to rat on you.” Donghae said miserably.

“You should have thought of that before you said anything.” Hyukjae chided in mock annoyance.

“I’m sorry…” Donghae bleated weakly. In his haste to appeal for forgiveness, he grabbed his friend’s arm and pout. ‘Please forgive me, please?”

“Hmmm…..”

“Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeae?”

“Aish, ok, ok, I forgive you. Stop tugging at my shirt. Kyuppa will not be happy if I tear this shirt so soon.”

“Yay!!!” Donghae let go of his grasp to jump up and down much to his friend’s embarrassment as they are presently standing outside a mall and everyone is suddenly staring. Hastily he dragged his over-hyper friend away to a corner.

“So we can hang out again? You have stopped working, right? Let’s go to the arcade now!” Donghae bubbles happily.

“Nope, I need to continue to work for another week. I plan to get my appas something nice, expensive and affordable.” Hyukjae flashed his mournful looking friend a secretive smile.

Siwon open his eyes and stretched lightly reflexively. He is sure it is morning but the sun has not quite risen, it is still dark out. Turning slightly he smiled at the mass of naked limbs tucked tight against him under the covers.

After 16 years of marriage, Kyuhyun’s body still drives Siwon crazy with need. Their love-making last night will attest to that.

It’s today! Siwon thought happily. 16 years ago, October the 13th, Choi Siwon and Cho Kyuhyun was joined in matrimony before their well-wishing families and friends.

For some strange reason, Siwon has an urge to cry as he recalls their wedding ceremony. Only the shifting of the person next to him prevented him from bursting into tears. Instead he leans in and nuzzles the bare shoulder peeking out from under the covers.

“Hnnnng…..” Kyuhyun groans softly without waking up.

Siwon pressed his lips against the bare shoulder again and again, several times while the owner of that bare shoulder remains inert. He knows his spouse is seldom a morning person after a night of exhausting sex.

The darkness outside the window lifted slightly as Siwon climbed off the bed gingerly and tip toed into the bathroom to wash up then tip toed out of the room.

Siwon arrived at the kitchen to find Hyukjae rummaging the fridge. The boy is top bare, clad only in a pair of pajamas bottoms. “You’re up early.”

“Aww….Appa! You ruined my surprise!” Hyukjae pouted.

“Surprise?” Siwon is indeed surprised.

“I was going to make you and Kyuppa breakfast in bed.” The boy explains grumpily.

Siwon couldn’t help the laughter bubbling out from his mouth even though his son is glaring at him with disapproval.

“So-sorry…” Siwon clears his throat awkwardly. “Sorry to ruin your surprise, Hyukkie. Let’s compromise, we’ll make breakfast in bed for your Kyuppa.”

“I guess I am out of choices.” Hyukjae grinned and shrugged his thin shoulders.

“So what are we making?” Siwon asks enthusiastically, secretly pleased that his son shared his original plan to make Kyuhyun breakfast.

“What a mess!” Kyuhyun exclaimed in horror when he came downstairs to find his husband and son coated from head to toe with flour. That couldn’t have been worse than the mess covering his kitchen counter and floor.

“What do you think you two are doing?” Kyuhyun asks obviously upset at his usual pristine kitchen looking like a warzone now. “

“We were trying to make you breakfast in bed.” Hyukjae started looking rather guilty.

“We thought making fresh bread was a nifty idea.” Siwon grinned at his spouse standing at the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest and looking very annoyed.

“It’s NOT a nifty idea.” Kyuhyun replied pointedly.

“Yes, we realized that.” Siwon conceded in defeat while hyukjae twiddles his fingers with his head lowered.

Kyuhyun fumed for a while longer before letting out a big sigh of conciliation. He uncrosses his arms and made his way to the two silent figures before him, planting a kiss each on their cheek. Seeing the joyful smile bloomed on their crestfallen faces made him laugh too.

“Come on, I’ll get breakfast done while you two clean up all this mess.”

“I have a better idea!’ Siwon said. “Why don’t we clear up this mess then go out for breakfast at the cafe down the road.”

‘Yessss!!!! I miss their pancakes tower so bad!” Hyukjae exclaimed excitedly.

“Good idea, hyung.” Kyuhyun agrees, secretly pleased at the prospect of not having to make breakfast.

@

“Hey Hae.”

“Hyukkie? What’s up? Aren’t you supposed to be celebrating your Appas’ anniversary?”

“Yup. Kyuppa has this plan to recreate one of the dishes served during their wedding reception. It’s French, kinda hard but me and Appa were supposed to pitch in to help.”

“Awwww….that’s so sweet!”

“And after dinner we’ll be watching the wedding video.”

“Awww……that’s like perfect! I wish I could get to watch it too!”

“It is, isn’t it? Leave it to Kyuppa to come up with the best ideas.”

“So what’s wrong?”

“Appa and Kyuppa got too lovey-dovey in the kitchen.”

‘Eh?”

“I had to leave. I can see they badly wanted to be alone.”

“Aww….”

“And I got bored so I thought I’ll squeeze in some chat time with you.”

“Ahuh. Say Hyukkie, why don’t you come sleep over at my place tonight after the celebrations are over?”

“Hmm…that’s a good idea I guess.”

“Give your folks some alone time. They could have sex anywhere in the house without worrying about you seeing them!”

“Oh my god Hae!!”

‘Why? What’s wrong with that? I’m sure they will appreciate spontaneity.”

“Stop planting images in my head!” Hyukjae yelled at his friend who is chortling happily. “What happened to you? Did you watch porn or something?”

“Yup!”

“What?!”

“What’s wrong with watching porn?”

“Who? How?”

“Heechul hyung brought over a few DVDs. He said it was for educational purposes.”

Hyukjae slapped himself soundly on the forehead at the level of pure innocence Donghae is able to maintain while speaking of such a topic.

@

“Erm, Appa, Kyuppa?”

“Yes, Hyukkie?”

“Can I spend the night over at Hae’s tonight?”

Siwon and Kyuhyun exchanged a knowing smile. They realized that their inability to restrain themselves today has mortified their son. Siwon can’t seem to keep his hands off his spouse; Kyuhyun is exluding pure sexiness all day long in his opinion. As for Kyuhyun, his husband’s constant whisperings in his ears of love, and tenderness, and sexual innuendos is heightening the sensitivity of his usually tightly reined arousal. Like a giddily in love teenager, his stomach are filled with fluttering butterflies all day long.

“You sure, Hyukkie?” Kyuhyun asks.

“Yes!”

“Ok then.” Siwon cuts in rather too eagerly, his eyes gleaming inappropriately.

“Thanks, Appa!” Hyukjae turned quickly to return to his room before he remembered his gift and turned back quickly again. Shyly he reached out his hands where two tiny boxes wrapped in shiny maroon paper sat.

“What’s this?” Kyuhyun asks in surprise as he took one and Siwon took the other.

“My gift to you.” Hyukjae replied bashfully. “Happy Anniversary, Appa, Kyuppa.”

@

“How was everything?” Donghae asks casually, his eyes fixed on the night sky above studded with blinking diamonds.

The boy lying next to him also fixated on the same sky above hummed non-committedly.

They are in Donghae’s bed, heads pillowed by their arms, staring out of the window at the blinking stars.

“Dinner is good. I’m glad I did not have to cook it. It was truly elaborated.” Hyukjae said with a light sigh of satisfaction.

“The wedding video was an eye-opener though.”

“How so?” Donghae wrinkled his brows curiously.

“You know, as children of our parents, we kinda meet them when they are a certain age? Watching the wedding video I realized that my appas were young once like us.”

Donghae giggled. “You’re so silly, Hyukkie. Of course they were young like us before.”

“Yeah, I know. It’s just that I don’t know them back then and it’s kinda weird watching them like that now.”

“Kyu-ahjussi must be very pretty on his wedding day.”

“Hey, don’t call my Kyuppa pretty! He’s not a girl!” Hyukjae argues heatedly.

Donghae burst out laughing again. His friend sure is behaving odd tonight.

“They were both so young back then. Skin was smooth, muscularly toned, their bodies was….wow…..” Hyukkie mutters absently, hoping inside that when he grows up he will inherit some of their genes if not all.

“What did you get them?” Donghae asks abruptly. That is in fact the very question he has been waiting to ask all month long.

Hyukjae snickers at his friend’s eagerness to know and earn himself an annoyed glare instead.

“I bought them customized lockets.” He said not without a whole lot of pride. “I had our family portrait sealed within the lockets.”

“Wow, that’s a really nice gift!”

“Yeah, I figured we should like stay forever like this as a family.” Hyukjae squirms uncomfortably at Donghae’s newfound admiration for him.

@

“Oh shit!”

That was what went through Kyuhyun’s mind, and unknown to him, he was mumbling exactly that when he woke up with a start. Wincing grumpily at the morning sun glare in his tired eyes, he sat up groggily. “Did we fall asleep on the living room carpet?” He wonders as a draft of morning wind made him shiver. That is also the precise moment that he realized that he is totally clothe-less.

“Oh my ~” He had to take a few moments to convince himself of the condition he is in before grabbing the throw on the couch to cover his nudity. Scenes of the previous night chose to invade his memory and make him blush furiously despite the lack of audience.

After Hyukjae had bounded out of the house across the street to Donghae’s house to spend the night, Kyuhyun had made his way to the kitchen intending to clean up the dirty dinner stuff.

Siwon was lounging before the tv looking rather innocent. And that’s how Kyuhyun was caught off guard by the grabby hands of his husband as he was ‘attacked’ from behind. It started off with languid kissing; slow and steady before the temperature between their two bodies had risen, the pace became gradually fervent. With the whole house to themselves, they were free to explore where they stood.

It was their first clumsy attempt on the kitchen floor because Kyuhyun will never agree to the kitchen table no matter how aroused he was. Both men did not last long. Kissing and giggling and groping each other blindly, they stumbled into the living room and tumbled onto the couch where Siwon makes a second attempt of his conquest. By then, they had thrown inhibition to wind, rediscovering the passion they had to contain with the birth of their son.

Kyuhyun is thankful that age had managed to slow Siwon down. Going by track records of yesteryears, the man would have proceeded to fuck him senseless after undressing him. But the Siwon now is mellow, opting to lavish full attention on his spouse’s beautifully matured body, enjoying the warm softness pressed against his lips and nuzzling every gentle curve.

But naturally, things heated up and Kyuhyun found himself in a lot of pain when, in a moment of dizzy pleasure while wrestling with his husband playfully, he rolled off the couch to land rather hard on the floor. It wouldn’t have hurt so if not for his cushioning the heavy human body of Siwon who fell along with him.

But pain aside, they were very soon going at it like hares in March. By the time they had no choice but to stop, they have learnt that their internal organs are no longer up for careless abusing and their living room carpet is not made out of sperm friendly material. (But really, which carpet manufacturer would have thought?)

“Carpet? Oh no!” Kyuhyun gave a small shout as he awoke from his reverie. Whipping his head around he saw the clumping and matting in areas on the shaggy carpet.

“Won! Won! Wake up! Wake up!” He cried as he shoved the irresponsive man lying next to him. ‘Won!”

Siwon shifts and turn away without waking. A tug between his brows is the only indication that he is being disturbed. Kyuhyun had no choice but to slap him hard on his naked arm.

“OW! Wh-wha? What is it, baby? It hurts!” Siwon shot up from the floor yelling incoherently and rubbing his arm where it is heating up.

Kyuhyun glared at his goofy husband. “We have to clean the place up before Hyukkie comes home!”

“Clean up? What? Why?” Siwon asks helplessly.

Kyuhyun points at a translucent glop of something matting the carpet next to Siwon’s lap. “Oh.”

“And look at the mess!” Kyuhyun wails softly. Their clothes are thrown all over, some caught on the tv, some on the floor and others flung on the stairs.

“I’m home!” Hyukkie shouted as he came through the front door. “Appa! Kyuppa!”

“Did you sleep well, son?” Siwon raised his head from the newspapers he is reading to ask the smiling teenager sitting down next to him. He is a picture of perfect composure with his legs crossed and the papers neatly folded and held in in his hands.

“Sure did, Appa.” Hyukkie answered mechanically as he scans the living room warily. To his relief he did not see any evidence of sexual activities aftermath. Did they do it on the couch? He asks himself curiously.

“Huh? What did you say Kyuppa?” He asks when he realized that his umma was talking to him.

“Go take a shower and come down for lunch.” Kyuhyun repeats himself as he hurries back into the kitchen to check the pots bubbling on his stove.

“Ok!” Hyukjae is more than relieved to get away from the awkwardness lingering in the back of his mind when he is in his parents' presence. Happily he bounded upstairs to get a new set of clothes and a towel. Then he is coming back down the stairs again in time to catch his parents huddled together conversing in harsh whispers.

“Do you think he knows?” Kyuhyun asks worriedly.

“I'm sure he hasn't a clue.” Siwon replied confidently. “We cleaned up.”

“You sure you got everything?” Kyuhyun asks again.

“Ye ~” Siwon is nodding his head fervently now. Kyuhyun raised his head by chance and saw Hyukjae turning the knob of the bathroom.

“Hyukkie?”

“I left my special shampoo down here so I'll just take my shower down here.” Hyukjae said with a reassuring smile as he enters the bathroom.

“Oh my god!” Siwon cried out suddenly. Kyuhyun turned quite pale as he stared at an equally pale Siwon. “I forgot the bathroom!”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Hyukjae started screaming. “WHAT IS THIS?!!!!”

Kyuhyun rolls off the warm sweaty body under him, untangling their limbs as he goes. As the back of his head felt the soft caress of his pillow, he sighed softly and closed his eyes to savour the moment. He missed the familiarity of his pillow, Siwon’s scent in the bedcovers and mostly, the warmth besides him in bed every night.

Siwon props himself up on his elbow and reach out to fondle the tips of his lover’s dishevelled locks. His eyes swept languidly along the full naked length of Kyuhyun glistening with perspiration from the exertion before. His stare fixes on the gentle crest and fall of the fair supple chest inches away from his face.

Kyuhyun’s eyes peels open lazily and direct his brown orbs on the handsome face. Siwon smiled down at him tenderly. “Did you like your souvenir?” Kyuhyun teased with a playful smirk.

“Sure did.” Siwon mutters with a smirk of his own as he dips down to nip a spot under the youngest’s ear. Kyuhyun mewled. “Do you think I can play with my souvenir again?”

Kyuhyun swats mischievously at the nuzzling nose in the crook of his neck. “I have to go home for dinner tonight with my parents.”

Siwon retracts his head to show the maknae his disappointed pout. Kyuhyun burst out laughing when he saw the sad doggy look on one of the most charismatic faces in the world. Putting his hands on cheeks, Kyuhyun kneads the face into grotesque twists then began chuckling at his comical attempts. But when he let go of his hands, the same sad frown is still there. Before he could react, Siwon’s hands are already grasping his waist firmly. Siwon guffaws gaily at his weak struggle. The smaller man made the mistake of stopping his wiggling to glare giving Siwon the chance to mash their lips together. And of course, his fingers got busy stroking the soft silk under him.

“Nnnnghhh.” Kyuhyun gasps softly relinquishing all control to his capable boyfriend.

Siwon smirks against the soft heated lips he is pressed against. They yielded and his tongue found its way in. Their tongues danced and fluttered in perfect harmony, shy giggles and impatient chuckles mixed with the wet sucking squelching noises.

Kyuhyun gasped with an uncontrollable shiver as Siwon brushed lightly against a swollen nub. His heart began palpitating out of control gradually squeezing his breath out of his lungs.

“You like that, don’t you?” Siwon breathes huskily into his lover’s ear sending another tingly shiver down the boy’s body.

Kyuhyun mewled in protest as Siwon left his lips and slides down to capture a rock hard nub with his lips. His fingers closed around the other neglected pebble and began to roll it in sync with what his lips is doing.

“Oh m~ god….” Kyuhyun gasped loudly arching his body for more. “Oh~ Won….I…..please….” He rambles disjointedly. Siwon smiled wickedly at his witty lover’s incoherency, hands sliding further down caressing the silky softness along the way and squeezing the bubble butt teasingly.

The younger man howled at the feeling of his manhood being entrapped by Siwon’s large hand. On an impulse Siwon rubs both of their shafts together repeatedly, relishing the heat emitting from between them and enjoying the sweet moans produced by his debauched-looking lover.

“I need ~” Kyuhyun mutters absently opening his legs. Siwon pushes his fingers against the slightly loosen entrance from their earlier love-making session. Two fingers easily entered to the third knuckle. Kyuhyun’s body bucked wildly at the intrusion. “Move! Won!” He cried pleadingly and only sighed with small satisfaction when the fingers began pumping in and out of him.

“I’m c-cum…cumming….” Kyuhyun exclaimed voice cracking amidst his disoriented screams.   

In the next few seconds Siwon felt a string of wetness against his groin and matting his pubic hair. Orgasm over, Kyuhyun’s tensed body relaxed and fell heavily back to bed. Closing his eyes and waiting for his breathing to regulate, he is ready to fall asleep but the hands stroking his belly hesitantly reminds him that he hasn’t returned the favour yet. Opening his eyes again, he came in contact with Siwon’s eyes brimming with love.

“You must be tired, sleep.” Siwon’s voice is low and husky.

“No, let me help you.” Kyuhyun insists and when Siwon shook his head again, he reached for Siwon’s hard shaft. Hearing Siwon’s breath hitched and the muscle in his hand jumped made him smirk triumphantly. 

“I want you……Won…..now……” He whispers sultrily opening his legs invitingly.

The big man flew at his lover, landing kisses from his chest down his torso to his belly, nipping the skin on his hips and coming to a stop with a kiss under his navel button, hands giving each sac a final squeeze.

“Won ~” Kyuhyun whined demandingly at his teasing boyfriend.

“Coming, baby.” Siwon assures the pouting man, positioning himself against the entrance and pushing in without warning. Kyuhyun’s body flew up from the impact screaming from pain and shock but Siwon did not pause for him, thrusting frantically.

Kyuhyun’s breathing came out in uneven spurts as his body jerked about crazily like a ragdoll. Scratchy whimpers escaped him as he felt Siwon grew harder and bigger in him, filling him and pushing the limits of his muscular elasticity already forming a tight sleeve around his boyfriend.

Siwon dips his head to the graceful neck and began nipping and sucking, nuzzling the particular spot under an earlobe. The writhing under him intensifies as he made one red mark after another over the ones made earlier and blemishing the remaining bruise-free skin.

“Baby, you are….ugh….so tight!” Siwon yelped when he hit the younger’s prostrate and his muscle walls closed in around him even more tightly.

“Nnngghhh….” Drool dripped from the corner of the beautiful lips now blabbering deliriously.

The rising heat, the smell of sex, the ragged breathing, the frantic thrusting, Siwon growled low in his throat the same moment his lover shrieked. Tension broke, Kyuhyun shuddered through his second orgasm as Siwon released his all, orgasming much longer than usual.

Siwon delayed giving in to his own exhaustion, pulling his aching body up to seal their love-making with a chaste kiss. Kyuhyun tried to respond but he could no longer stay awake, eyes closing and head lolling away before Siwon could pulled away.

“Sweet dreams, baby.” Siwon mutters with a tender smile flopping down next to his lover for a short nap too.

@

Siwon rolls indolently in bed as he listens to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom. Kyuhyun is taking a shower before meeting his parents and he had forbidden his pervy boyfriend from joining him. Without a doubt Siwon will seduced him into another energy-sapping session if he is allowed to share the shower.

Catching sight of the carelessly abandoned cellphone on the floor, Siwon reached for it and nonchalantly went through the picture gallery on it. Kyuhyun had taken a lot of holiday photos in Greece. Humming, he scrolls through the large cache. Many are close repeats of the same pose and he speeds through them. That’s how he almost missed THAT one.

Scrolling back in a hurry, his eyes widened with disbelief. After a few more minutes of staring, he scrambles off his bed and dashed into the bathroom. Voices can be heard within.

“What is this?!” He demands loudly.

“W-what?” Kyuhyun asks in confusion.

“THIS!”

“Why?”

“That had better not be a nudist beach you were lying on!”

“What nudist beach? That’s Kamari Beach!”

“Oh.”

“What’s with you? It’s not like I tweeted that to the whole world!”

“I just don’t like it when you bare it before strangers.” Siwon replied weakly.

“Aish!”

“No one took notice, Wonnie.”

“I don’t believe it! All that lovely soft milky silk out in the open~”

“I wasn’t fully nude, Wonnie!”

“I just don’t like it.”

“No one took even a look, I promise.”

“WHAT?! Ingrates! All that beauty before them and no one appreciated it?”

“SIWON!”

“Ok, ok, I’ll stop now, baby.”

“Thank you, Wonnie.”

Silence.

“WON! What are you doing?!” Kyuhyun sudden panic shout reverberates off the bathroom walls . “Wait! Stop! Don’t come near me! WON!”

“Tell me again, why are we doing this, Kyunnie?” Hyukjae eyed his maknae warily.

Instead of answering him, Kyuhyun is busy making sure Ryeowook got the best angle. “Are you getting us both including the sunset, hyung?” Kyuhyun asks for the umpteen time. Hyukjae sighed in defeat. He doubt anyone else out in the whole wide world is having a much tougher time than himself being a hyung.

“Kyu ~” He tries again.

“Ok.” Ryeowook replied.

“Let’s do it!” Kyuhyun announced with a sinister grin which frankly sent a shiver down Hyukjae’s spine. “Hyung! Concentrate!”

@

Siwon is restless. His lover is on the other side of the globe having a time of his life and he is stuck here working. Every time he recalls that Kyuhyun went to Greece because he had thought that Siwon will be away in New York anyway. Now that the trip to New York is called off because he had a few meetings that required his attendance, Siwon can’t help feeling that he was short changed. And that just upsets him no end.

Beep beep

Siwon made a mad grab at his phone. His twit list is already opened and showing him a post by a certain purple egg. However the picture attached to it only made him frown.

“What are you doing to me, baby?” He mutters angrily as he stares at the picture. Then he caught sight of the message.

While feeling regretful about the disappearing sun.^^ It's fine for you to photoshop

“Photoshop!” Siwon gasped suddenly before realisation hit him like a ton of bricks. Jumping to his feet and ignoring the chair that was knocked down flat on the floor, he dashed out into his living room where his laptop is sitting.

@

“Are you expecting a call?” Lee Teuk asks with a light frown.

“What? Oh, no, no.” Siwon managed to shift his eyes off the screen of his phone to placate the worried looking leader.

“Then why are you staring at your phone all night with that silly grin on your face?”

Shyly Siwon pushed his phone towards his hyung so he could see for himself.

“Oh.”

Siwon pulls the phone back into his field of vision and directs his stare back onto the screen.

“That picture looks familiar.” Lee Teuk mutters absently as he tries to recall where he seen it before.

“Kyunnie tweeted it a few hours ago.” Siwon said with a sly grin.

“Oh! But wasn’t it Kyu and Hyukkie? You photoshopped your face over Hyukkie’s?!!”

Siwon chuckles softly. “Kyunnie asked me to photoshop it.”

“He did?”

“Ahuh!”

“Really?”

Lee Teuk can’t help feeling sceptical but the soft smile Siwon has on his face prevents him from pushing it any further.

@

“HYUNG!”

Lee Teuk winced at the pain in his eardrum and out of reflex he pulled the phone away from his ear.

“Yes?” He asks dryly.

“Why is my Siwonnie drunk? He almost never drink so much! Where are you? Is he home? Have you seen him home? Where is he now? What is he doing?”

Lee Teuk sighed at the barrage of questions his maknae is firing at him. He wasn’t really expecting that when he tweet the picture of a very drunk and very giggly Siwon.

“Hyung ~”

“He’s ok, he’s ok.” Lee Teuk decides to cut the worried young man off before he worked himself up into an uncontrollable frenzy.

“Then he ~”

“He was staring at the photoshopped picture of you and him all night and drinking and we kind of lost count.” Lee Teuk admits sheepishly.

“Photoshopped?!”

“He was imagining that he was drinking with you so he ~”

“AISH!”

“I already saw him home. Don’t worry.”

“… …”

“Stop worrying about your horsey! Go out and enjoy yourself on your last day in Greece.”

“Ok, hyung.”

“Hey, stop worrying. I mean it.”

“Ok hyung…”

@

“Siwonnie ~” Kyuhyun exclaims loudly at the top of his lungs the moment he had the door opened.

“Baby!!!” Siwon ran out of the kitchen, eyes widened in surprise and face twisted with glee. “Baby, you are back!”

Kyuhyun threw his bags onto the floor and flew towards the man who is braced to catch him as he collides into him. Siwon caught his lover with a sharp bark of laughter and they spun around due to the impact.

“Did you miss me?” Kyuhyun whispers sultrily into Siwon’s ear after their tightly mashed together lips finally pull apart reluctantly.

“A lot.” Siwon replied huskily as he swiped his lover’s soft swollen lips lovingly.

Kyuhyun chuckles as Siwon’s callused thumbs stroke his cheeks affectionately.

“Did you get me a souvenir?” Siwon asks teasingly as they press their noses together. A giggle escapes Kyuhyun’s plump red lips.

“Let’s go in and I’ll show you what I’d brought you.” Kyuhyun purrs as he gestures at their bedroom door. His eyes sparkle playfully as he pulls free of Siwon’s embrace and saunters towards their room.

“Coming, Wonnie?” He turned to ask the man who had turned into a sculpture from excessive pleasant shock.

“Y-yes!” Siwon shouted excitedly as he made his way clumsily towards the door left opened by his lover. His limbs are all tingly with nervous anticipation as he stumbles in.

“Close the door, Wonnie and I’ll show you ~” Kyuhyun murmurs suggestively.

“Nngghhh….” Kyuhyun moans loudly as the hand forming a sheath around his manhood began to move at frantic speed to match his growing orgasm. The body slapping him in the back seems a little out of rhythm compared to moments ago when it first started. And then there are the ragged grunts next to his ear.

“You.are.so.tight.baby!” Siwon managed to form a perfect sentence in accordance to his excellent upbringing that forbade him to speak in broken sentences that no one could understand (It still baffles him how everyone else is speaking in grammatically wrong sentences and he is able to understand them?) The man under him moaned louder at his obvious flattery.

“Flattery will get you nowhere, Choi Siwon.” Kyuhyun once said to the love-struck man early in their courtship days.

Ha! Now see where flattery got Choi Siwon. Hint: He’s pretty sure he is currently where he wants to be right now.

Every breathless pant, every hiss, every moan and every writhe adds to Siwon’s sexual euphoria. The man simply gets off with a stoked ego sometimes and if the man he loves proves to him, which he is now, that he has the power to make his lover succumb to his love making skills, all the more.

“I-I’m c-close ~” Kyuhyun stutters before giving in to a soft wail as every muscle in his lithe body tightens a second before the release. The orgasm caused the clenching of his muscle walls and that sent the man inside him over the edge. Siwon hissed and growled as he released his milky seeds.

For a while, the quiet room is filled with ragged breathing and the smell of sex. At last Siwon deem it possible to move his tired limbs, snaking his steely arms tenderly around his half-asleep spouse and pulling the irresponsive body closer before they dropped off into blissful slumber.

Night turns into day. The morning sun rose and threw its rays in whichever directions it can. A couple lay in bed still deep in their sleep. And who can blame them really, because it is barely 6 A.M. yet.

Unknown and unheard by them, their main door was opened and closed, allowing a certain someone to enter since she has the key, of course. That certain someone then walked purposefully into the kitchen where she unloads all the bags in her hands. Taking a moment to shake the kinks out of her fingers, her eyes roved the not too tiny space eagerly trying to pick out evidence of bad housekeeping.

“Hmm…” Finding none, she hummed thoughtfully. Her son in law is indeed a very outstanding housekeeper. “I wonder if my darlings are up.” She mutters absently as her legs carried her towards their bedrooms.

Really, she knows she shouldn’t. But as she stood outside their room door, one hand grasping the door knob (which she has tested a moment ago and found to be unlocked) she contemplates on the behavior of a proper lady such as herself invading their privacy. But heck, the confused looks on their faces every time she drops in on them unannounced is just too precious (This is not the first time she is doing this; and it won’t be the last either).

Taking in a deep breath, she twists the knob, simultaneously pushing the door open and steps into the room. Opening her mouth, she declared a very loud and very bright “Good morning, my dears!” And then she stands back to watch, with an amused smile on her rouged lips.

Two heads of messily tousled hair shot up from where they were half buried under the heavy quilt covers. Siwon’s eyes popped open and shut, wincing from the pain of the sunny glare in the room while Kyuhyun direct a dazed glance at their morning invader.

“Arrrgggghh…..5 more minutes, mom.” Siwon whines sleepily as he drops his heavy head back onto the pillows.

“Mom!” Kyuhyun recovered rather quickly, eyes widened in surprise, and yes, embarrassment. For he is still very much naked from the activities they had indulged in the previous night. The middle-aged lady standing in their doorway grinned knowingly as he tries to pull the bare length of his leg back under the covers discreetly.

“Mom?” Siwon snaps awake again when he heard the person beside him exclaimed. Shooting up into a sitting position, he stared wide-mouthed at his grinning mother till he became aware of his own nakedness and his cheeks began to burn. “ Wha-what a surprise you gave us, mom.”

“Good morning, darlings. Wash up quickly and join me in the kitchen for breakfast.” She declared rather mischievously before walking away, neglecting to close the door of course. That’s all part of her mischief of course.

A soft wretched sigh escaped Siwon’s lips as he ran his fingers through his hair. Then he caught sight of his bed-mate glaring at him. All it took was a minute to realize that they were once again victims of his mother’s playfulness because in his haste to bed his lover last night, he has forgotten to lock their bedroom door ~ again.

“I’m sorry.” He mutters, feeling properly chastised.

When the two boys joined her at the kitchen table, their heads are lowered in embarrassment still, and their body language awkward. She busied herself putting plates after plates of deliciously smelling food items on the table before them and when she finally finished her task, she sat down with them.

“Come on, boys. Eat.” She urges, picking up her own chopsticks, as did they. The next few minutes were completely silent saved for the clicking of cutlery against bowls as they ate.

“So.”

The visibly relaxed bodies tensed up again as they raised their heads to look at her.

“Are my darlings working hard to make babies?” She asks with an innocent smile. Siwon choked on the remnants in his mouth and began a coughing frenzy while Kyuhyun blushed a shade of red that was almost impossible to achieve by any human being, until now.

“Mom!” Siwon protests weakly as his coughing fit dies down.

“That was a perfectly normal question.” She reminds him primly. Out of the corner of her eye she saw her son in law blushed again.

Aigooo….isn’t he just precious!

“Judging from the hickeys on Siwonnie’s chest ~”

“Mom!!!!” Siwon cuts her off before Kyuhyun turns purple from all that blood rushing up to his cheeks.

“I want to have a grandchild to play with soon.” She pouts cutely much to the shock of the two young men before her.

“We are only married for a month, mom.” Siwon tries to reason with her calmly.

“I had you before I married your dad!”

And with that Siwon could only stare open jaw and appalled at his mother while Kyuhyun stares at him blinking in surprise at the piece of sudden news.

Six years later….

“Kyuppa?”

“Yes, baby?”

“Where do babies come from?”

Kyuhyun nearly drop the slippery drinking glass he is scrubbing under the tap. Spinning around his eyes land on a face overflowing with innocent curiosity looking up at him.

“Wh-why are you asking, baby?” Kyuhyun fought with the tide of embarrassment, indignation and pure shyness rising inside him under his son’s naive scrutiny.

“Donghae said that his Appa told him that he is going to have a baby sister to play with very soon. I want a baby sister to play with too! Will Appa get me one too?”

Kyuhyun remembers to put down the glass this time before he turned to face his son fully. His face is somber as much as his toddler son’s is keen. He opened his mouth to speak but his brain is still reeling from the lack of an answer.

Hyukjae stared at his Kyuppa’s mouth open and close repeatedly and it struck the little boy that his Kyuppa resembles the fishes Donghae kept in his fishbowl in his room.

“Why don’t you go out and ask your Appa now.” Kyuhyun said at long last and mentally face-palmed himself.

“Appaaaaaa!!!!!” Hyukjae shouts excitedly at the top of his lungs as he rushed out into the living room much to the relief of Kyuhyun.

But something just feels wrong…..Kyuhyun muses as he stood leaning against the kitchen counter wondering what he did wrong.

“Appa! Appa!” Hyukjae yelled merrily as he jumps onto Siwon’s empty lap.

“What is it, son?” Siwon laughs as he sets aside the report he is writing to stroke the little one’s hair, reciprocating his son’s wide smile.

“Where do babies come from?” Hyukjae repeats his question.

Unlike his easily embarrassed spouse, Siwon is more than ready to share his vast(?) knowledge and experience with his son whom he is sure is going to grow into a most handsome young man every girl and boy will fall in love with at first sight (Aaah…..the wild delusions of parents *laughs*)

“Well, I’m glad you ask, son.” Siwon replied nodding wisely. “Let me start from the beginning.”

Sensing that it is going to be a long talk, Hyukjae shifts about for a more comfortable position to sit. “See, son, we don’t buy or grow babies in farms. We Make them. Firstly, Appa and Kyuppa will ~”

“Siwon!” Kyuhyun came running out of the kitchen in a great hurry shouting loudly to cut the eager man off. Both father and son turn looking slightly annoyed.

“What is it, baby?” Siwon questions with a frown. “I am about to share with Hyukkie ~”

“Siwon, no.” Kyuhyun replied with a warning in his voice.

“But he asked.” Siwon pouts.

“But I want to know.” Hyukjae whined.

“Ask him why he asked.” Kyuhyun prompts his husband before father and son kills him with all that ageyo they are directing at him.

Siwon looks at his son in surprise. “Why do you want to know, son?” He asks curiously.

Hyukjae broke into a gummy grin at the question. “Please buy me a baby sister, Appa, please? Donghae is getting one soon and I want one too!”

Siwon’s face fell. Boy, wasn’t that a disappointment to realize that his son is not asking because he is ready to learn about the birds and the bees. He doesn’t need to look at his spouse to know that he is smirking triumphantly.

“Sorry son, Appa can’t buy you a baby sister.” Siwon replied apologetically. Hyukjae’s little face fell and disappointed tears rim his eyes.

“Why not? I want a baby sister tooooooooooooo!!!!” Hyukjae whined, kicking his little legs into his father’s thighs.

“Ssssh, son, don’t cry.” Siwon said miserably. “It’s just ~ I….we….”

Kyuhyun shook his head at his husband’s helplessness. Moving closer, he sat down next to them and placed his hands firmly on the little flailing legs.

“Hyukkie, what did Kyuppa say about throwing tantrums?”

Hyukjae’s lower lip trembled as he tries to swallow his sobs. “B-but I want a baby sister.” He whimpers.

“Come here, baby.” Kyuhyun gestures gently, opening his arms for the little boy to scoot over. Ignoring the wet tear stains appearing on his shirt, he strokes the silky hair of his son. Siwon watched mesmerized at the scene unfolding before him.

“Listen to me, Hyukkie.” Kyuhyun coos softly, pushing the boy gently off his chest so they can lock gazes. “Babies are gifts from God. We can’t buy them or ask for them when we want another one.”

“God?” The little boy breathes the word out in a soft whisper.

“Yes baby, God. He gifted Hyukkie to Appa and Kyuppa. And if He wants to gift us another baby, He will. And if he doesn’t, we still have…you.”

Siwon’s face melted into a tender grin as he watches his spouse and his son share a heart rendering affectionate moment.

Ten years later….

“Hyukkie!!!” Donghae greets his bestie cheerfully as he taps the teenager on the shoulder and plops down into the seat next to him.

Strange? Donghae noticed that he did not receive a similar response. “Hyukkie? What’s wrong? What happened?”

Back straight, shoulders back, eyes wide open and unstaring, Hyukjae’s breathing is shallow.

“Hey! What’s wrong?” Donghae is beginning to worry big time. No matter how he asked, plodded and poked, the boy just won’t budge. “You’re scaring me, Hyukkie…please…..”

The anxious tears and the soft scared voice finally brought Hyukjae out of his trance. “Huh?” He utters in confusion. He has no recollection of Donghae joining him at the table but now he found his teen friend clinging onto him like a koala to a tree trunk.

“You were not replying, and…and…..cold….and staring….you were scary….and….” Donghae hiccupped tearfully.

It took a while for Hyukjae to calm Donghae down, and even longer for him to wait for Donghae to stop crying and resume his bubbly self.

“What happened just now?” Donghae asks again.

“I had biology just now.” Hyukjae mutters as a blush creeps up his face slowly.

“And?”

“It was about the human reproduction system.” The blush on his cheeks is completely in place by now.

“So?” Donghae asks innocently earning a glare from Hyukjae. “What? What did I say?”

“Let’s say I know where babies come from now.” Hyukjae mutters dryly but the naïve boy next to him still doesn’t understand.

“Babies? I know where they came from when I was four! My Appa explained it all to me when he told me I was getting a new baby sister.” Donghae replied proudly.

Hyukjae’s head jerked around. He looked with disbelief at his smug looking pal. “And you are ok with that?!”

The smugness was replaced with concern. “Why shouldn’t I be?”

“I never knew…” Hyukjae murmurs in awe at his easy-going friend.

“It’s really not that hard to understand ~” Donghae argues good-naturedly.

“Let’s say now I know what my Appa and Kyuppa did before bedtime when they thought I was asleep in my room.” Hyukjae said grimacing as he now could finally figure out all the muffled groaning and moaning, and whisperings, and flesh slapping noises coming from behind their locked bedroom door.

“I know all about the ritual too!” Donghae exclaimed brightly.

“What ritual?” Hyukjae asks curiously.

“My Appa said they have to do a ritual dance to summon the stork.” Donghae replied wisely.

“Stork? What stork?” Hyukjae is getting curiouser and curiouser by the minute. Donghae ‘tsk’ loudly at his friend’s ignorance.

“The stork that brings babies to families in the middle of the night of course!” Donghae explains patiently.

“WHAT!”

“How else do you think my baby sister arrived?” Donghae sounds miff at his friend’s stupidity while Hyukjae decides to face palmed himself.

Siwon drove with a face of fierce determination. His hands gripped the wheel tightly as he tries to compose himself, to calm himself down.

When Kyuhyun’s father called him speaking in extremely terrified tones, his blood ran cold immediately. Kyuhyun had not returned home after school like he always did. None of his friends had seen him after the school recess.

A few discreetly placed calls told Siwon what he needs to know. Kyuhyun was ‘bride-napped’ and he knows exactly who did it.

The tires screeched loudly as he pulled up infront of the hotel his father owns. The valet was about to come forward to offer his services but the dark dangerous look on Siwon’s face held him back.

Siwon strode into the lobby and head to the banks of elevator. He not only knew who the kidnapper was, he knew where to find him. The only thing he was unaware of was how many people he would be tackling but then that was hardly his prime concern at the moment.

The burly man who answered the loud pounding on the door flew back when he was punched right in the face, falling away towards the carpeted floor. Unfortunately another 4 replaced the fallen man. Siwon did his best to fight them but they subdued him after much effort and the tall man finds himself dragged into the room and forced onto his knees before a small sized man suited up in black. The arrogance on his face bristled Siwon who is already bleeding from a cut on his forehead and suffering an aching jaw.

“I don’t think I know you.” The man in black remarked plainly.

“You don’t belong here! How dare you come in and kidnap one of our own!” Siwon growled dangerously, his body struggling against the hands holding him back.

The man laughed, loud and unpleasant. A tilt of his chin alerted one of his henchman to go through an opened door then return dragging a heavily tousled figure out.

“Kyu ~” Siwon called out losing control for a split moment.

Kyuhyun’s eyes above the gag over his mouth widened in shock. He struggled futilely before his captor shoved him onto the floor.

“KYU!” Siwon screamed as he saw Kyuhyun’s head hit the floor with a loud thud. The boy fainted from the impact, sagging against his hands bounded behind his back. “Stop hurting him!” Siwon yelled angrily at the silent leader of the pack.

“The practice of bride-napping is common here, I figured you guys wouldn’t mind me indulging in a little local custom.” He smirks unpleasantly. “And my sources tell me that this one here is the best this pathetic little town has to offer.”

The nonchalance in the other’s voice got Siwon’s hackles up. How dare he talk about his beloved so offhandedly like Kyuhyun is second best?

“HOW DARE YOU!” Siwon bellowed catching everyone in the room off-guard. He fought loose of the ones holding him down, rushing forward to grab at the throat of the still smirking man. Along the way he was clawed at, punched and grabbed at but he fought through the frenzy of limbs.

Kyuhyun woke up to the noise of loud grunts and shouts. Through the hazy cloud masking his achy eyes, he saw Siwon fighting off his attackers till he had his hands around the neck of a very frightened looking man wearing a black suit and black leather shoes.

“Listen up, you bastard. Call off your lackeys or I’ll snap your neck into two!” Siwon warned darkly.

“St-stop…..don’t come….near…..”

It’s almost comical to see 8 burly big built men looking lost like 5 year olds. Their hands clenched and unclenched repeatedly itching for action which is denied of them.

“Wh-what’s you problem anyway?” An attempt at gungho but the shaky voice betrayed the small man’s fear. Siwon gave his neck a quick squeeze and he retched loudly.

“No one comes into town and take what’s ours, you hear me?!” Siwon growled. “We don’t like strangers indulging in a little local custom.”

“I-I…..” The man thrashed as Siwon’s fingers tightened a little more over his windpipe.

“And no one takes him, in particular! Because he’s mine! Got it?!” Siwon bellowed. Kyuhyun shuddered at the forcefulness in Siwon’s voice, and the darkness glistening in his eyes.

“Y-yes…..please…..”

“Now get lost! Get out of town before I send the police after your pathetic tail!” Siwon gave one final squeeze before flinging the man away from him. Kyuhyun watched as the room emptied.

At last alone, Siwon maneuvered among the ruins on the floor towards the figure still slumped on the floor. “Baby? Baby?” He calls anxiously as Kyuhyun struggles weakly to sit up.

“Won ~”

The relief on Siwon’s face was so intense it hurts looking at him. He untied Kyuhyun before holding the boy to his chest. The adrenalin had seeped out and his body is shaking with leftover anxiety.

“Ar-are you okay?” He asks Kyuhyun who is shaking just as badly as he is.

“Ye-yes.” Kyuhyun replied. “But you’re bleeding!”

Siwon followed Kyuhyun’s gaze down to his thighs. His right thigh has a large gaping wound that is bleeding profusely.

No wonder I feel faint.

“Co-could you do me a fa-favor, babe…..can you reach the pho-phone over there, call the front desk…for help?” Siwon asks with a weak smile and then he passed out cold, falling onto Kyuhyun and trapping the boy under him.

“Won! Siwon! Won! Nooooo! Won!” Kyuhyun cried out fearfully, terrified tears falling as he tries to wiggle out from the deadweight pinning him down.

@

“How do I look?” Siwon asks nervously.

Kyuhyun giggles as he combs Siwon’s hair with his fingers. “Perfect!”

“You sure?” Siwon frowned as he tugs as his tie again. “Will your parents like what I am wearing?”

“They will.” Kyuhyun smiled as he took the man’s arm. “Come on!”

Reluctantly Siwon allowed himself to be dragged up the porch steps and into the house. “Umma! Appa! We’re home!”

Siwon’s stomach lurched when they stopped before Kyuhyun’s parents who are seated at the dining table waiting silently.

“Abeonim, eomeonim.” Siwon greeted respectively with a bow.

Silence replied him and he stood feeling awkward and at a loss with what to do. Kyuhyun frowned at the tension in the air.

“Umma ~” he whined.

“Don’t just stand around. Sit down so we can start dinner.” Kyuhyun’s mother said in weary resignation. Kyuhyun’s frown is quickly replaced with a childish grin as he pulls Siwon to an empty seat.

Dinner was a tensed affair and apart from Kyuhyun who is genuinely enjoying his food, his parents and Siwon is just pushing the food on their plates around. All of them know Siwon’s real intentions and that is making them all edgy.

“Abeonim, eomeonim, I ~” Siwon decides to speak up before he loses his nerves completely. “I’m here today to ask for your permission to allow Kyuhyun and me to marry.”

Kyuhyun stopped eating to watch silently in uneasy anticipation. He saw his father flinched and his mother’s face hardened. Then silence again.

“Why bother with such mockery?” Kyuhyun’s father finally spoke up. “Even if we say no, you will still claim my son.”

It is Siwon’s turn to flinch. How true the elder man’s words are but he rather has their blessings.

“By marrying Kyuhyun I will have to leave my home, leave this town.” Siwon replied patiently. “I intend to settle overseas with Kyuhyun.”

Kyuhyun’s mother gasped. “No! No! You cannot take our son away from us!” She disagrees adamantly.

“Umma…..” Kyuhyun looks like he is about to burst into tears upon seeing his mother’s tears about to fall.

“I’m not taking Kyuhyun away from you.” Siwon ensures somberly. “I am hoping that abeonim and eomeonim will leave with us.”

Three collective gasps can be heard around the dinner table.

“I want Kyuhyun, I am not letting go of him at any cost.” Siwon declares gravely. “And he will not leave abeonim and eomeonim behind. So I hope you will leave with us.”

“Won ~” Kyuhyun’s voice is soft with tenderness as they exchange a look of pure affection. Siwon place a hand over Kyuhyun’s and squeeze it gently.

“I love you, Cho Kyuhyun.” Siwon is not afraid to voice aloud his love for the boy who enslaved his heart for the rest of his life.

“Appa! Appa! Look!”

Siwon sat by his 3 year old son trying to feed the skinny boy who doesn’t seem to have an interest in eating. He is as thin as the stick figures he draws.

“He’s 3, he can feed himself.” Kyuhyun points out sternly.

“That’s true.” Siwon can’t help agreeing but all his son is doing is pick out raisins in his cereal and throws them on the table. He thinks it is very funny, laughing and giggling merrily.

“He’s always like this only when you are around.” Kyuhyun remarked shortly.

“Appa ~” Hyukjae was about to show his father another trick he can do with his breakfast cereal when the older man turned to him with a stern expression of his own.

“Son, behave.”

Kyuhyun rolled his eyes in mock resignation. Father and son, both out to infuriate him, he suspects. “Hyukjae.” He said. Something in his voice stopped the boy immediately. Siwon watched his son’s cheerful demeanor wilt before his eyes and he felt sorry for the boy.

Raising his eyes to his spouse to appeal on his son’s behalf, he saw something in Kyuhyun’s eyes that made him wilt too. Lowering his head, he saw his son looking at him from the corner of his little eyes and he stuck out his tongue in a conspiratory manner.

“Hyung!” Kyuhyun chides disapprovingly.

“Oopsie.” Siwon mutters under his breath. For a three year old, Hyukjae has a surprisingly presence of mind not to aggravate his Kyuppa further with any of his antics.

Silence reigned the breakfast table for a while. Siwon drank his coffee meekly while Kyuhyun fed his son.

“So.”

Kyuhyun raised his head in surprise when he heard Siwon utter the one single syllable. His bread half-eaten and forgotten as he awaits his husband to continue.

“Did you like the watch I bought you?” Siwon asks with forced casualness. Kyuhyun has not said anything about it since he received the item a week ago and Siwon badly needs his ego stoked.

“Watch?” Kyuhyun suddenly sound nervous and Siwon frowned. “Wat-watch.”

“What’s wrong?” Siwon’s frown turned deeper as Kyuhyun continues to fidget.

“I ~”  Kyuhyun finally spoke up but his reply is interrupted by several loud rings of Siwon’s mobile phone.

“Choi speaking. Yes, now? Ok, text me the address.” Siwon got up from his seat and made his way out of the kitchen. Kyuhyun got up too to follow while Hyukjae jumped off his chair to dash after his parents.

Siwon is still talking on the phone but he already has one arm in his coat sleeve. Kyuhyun helped him with the other as the whole family moved towards the front door.

Ending the call, Siwon turned to his wife and child to bid them goodbye before opening the door.

“Stay safe.” Kyuhyun murmurs as they shared a deep kiss.

“Bye, little man. Take care of your Kyuppa for me.” Siwon said to his son after pulling away reluctantly from his beloved. Oh, how deeply affected he is by the delicious scent of the smaller man.

“Bye, Appa!” Hyukjae replied boisterously.

@

“YOU WHAT?!!!” Siwon’s loud bellow resonated in the tiny enclosure of his car and hurt his own ears. “Why did you do that? You know how long I had to save to get that for you? Why did you not tell me first?!”

And really, who can blame the man for blowing his top? He had saved for a year to buy his Kyuhyun a diamond-encrusted watch for their anniversary and Kyuhyun had brought it back to the shop to return it.

His ragged breathing filled the phone line as he struggles to calm down.

“I tried, but you rushed off this morning before I could tell you.” Kyuhyun’s quite voice replied.

“I was called out!” Siwon snapped crossly.

No more arguments from the other end of the line but they held on. It’s time to reach a truce.

“Ok, maybe it is easier to handle me in this mood over the phone.” Siwon mutters begrudgingly.

Still only silence.

“We’ll talk later when I get home.”

“Ok.” An almost inaudible murmur.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“No, Kyu, I mean it. I really love you.” Siwon felt an outrageous need to make the other person understand.

“And I mean it too when I said I love you.” Now Kyuhyun speaks up firmly.

“I love you.” Siwon said again.

“I love you too.” Kyuhyun replied before they hang up the phone.

@

“Was it baby’s long day in school today?” Siwon stopped chewing his supper to ask.

“Yes.” Kyuhyun replied drily, refusing to make eye contact as he placed a bowl of salad greens infront of the appalled looking man.

“Damn, I missed it!” Siwon cursed loudly realizing that he missed the chance to spend some quiet time with his spouse by coming home late.

“It was your choice.” Came the cold reply.

Siwon winced. It’s difficult enough to find time to make love with his mate with their son insisting on sleeping with them, on their bed, in between them. The boy’s school did them a favour by keeping the students in school all day once a week and Siwon has to miss it. He face-palmed himself mentally.

While he is having an argument with himself, Kyuhyun had slipped out to their room and came back soon with a couple of items which he placed before the astonished man.

“Wh ~”

“After returning the watch you bought me, I bought these.” Kyuhyun said simply.

Siwon looked at the pair of wrist watches and a receipt. “You bought these?”

Kyuhyun sat down next to his speechless husband, mentally hoping that he will not lash out at him again.

“One for you and one for me. They look nice, don’t they?” Kyuhyun explains. “And dance classes for Hyukkie. That boy love to dance, I’m sure he will like the classes.”

Siwon remained stoic. He knows his spouse did a better job than he did but he refuses to yield just yet. Seeing him looking at him with his doe-like eyes nearly destroyed his will to make the smaller man stew a little more.

Kyuhyun stared appealingly at his husband. He is too afraid to say another word. Of course he appreciates his loving gesture, but as a wife and a mother, he cannot be expected to be happy unless his family is able to share his joy.

“Won, I ~” He ventures timidly, wholly surprised when Siwon swooped forward and took him into his arms, lips pressed firmly against him. He felt no anger from the man as his husband nudges him gently, sucking and nipping in a manner that spelt extreme tenderness.

Their lips parted but Siwon refused to let him go. Kyuhyun smiled as he plays with a button on his shirt. “Let’s get Hyukkie to sleep in his own bed tonight.” Siwon said suggestively, enjoying the slight start and then deep blush on his spouse’s cheeks as the man fought his shyness at the blatant proposition.

Standing up from his seat and taking Kyuhyun’s soft hand into his, the couple head back to their room. Their son is sprawled on their bed sleeping deeply much to the delight of both parents. Exchanging a conniving smile, they spread out and tiptoed to the boy’s side. Siwon carefully push his hands under the tiny body but before he could cradle it to his chest….”Nnngg…..Appa…..”

“Go back to sleep, son.” Siwon had to work hard to keep the frustration out of his voice as he spoke to the rapidly awaking boy.

Hyukjae rubs his eyes with his tiny fists and realized that his Kyuppa is standing by his side with a strange smile. “Kyuppa ~” He whines, reaching out for the man.

“Don’t you want to go back to sleep, Hyukkie?” Kyuhyun asks as he took his son into his arms. Hyukjae pouts cutely.

“I’m not tired anymore.” He said brightly, his parents’ cringing escaped him totally.

“You don’t know that, son.” Siwon refutes in a hurry. “It’s night time now, and little boys must go to sleep when it is dark outside.”

Hyukjae threw his father a doubtful look before turning back to rest his cheek again the softness of his Kyuppa’s cheek. “But I’m not sleepy.” He whined softly.

“Why don’t we lie down now and Appa will sing you a song.” Kyuhyun said in his best persuasive voice reserved just for his son.

Hyukjae allows himself to be lowered back onto the bed, albeit with an unhappy upturn of his lips. As soon as Kyuhyun seats himself down next to him, he scoots closer and climb onto the warm chest. Siwon ruffles the little boy’s dark mocha curls before starting to sing softly. Kyuhyun hums along as he strokes the back of the little head gently to calm the toddler down.

Siwon continues to sing, totally lost in the pleasure of singing which he enjoys. Raising his head to face the ceiling, he sang his heart out. In one of the rare moments when he glances at his audience the song he was singing so enthusiastically died on his lips.

“Eh!!!!” He utters unhappily at Kyuhyun nodding silently next to him. Hyukjae is staring inquisitively at his parents with his big bright eyes.

“Baby! Wake up!” He taps Kyuhyun’s arm furiously.

“Hnng…huh? Wh ~” Kyuhyun jumped awake.

“We are supposed to put Hyukkie to sleep, not you falling asleep too!” Siwon hissed disapprovingly.

“Oh ~ oh yes…..so-sorry….” Kyuhyun gave the sullen man an awkward smile. As Siwon resumes singing, Kyuhyun resumes caressing his restless son.

Siwon is nearing the end of the song when he hears a soft murmur. “Won….wonnie…..”  

Turning around to look, He saw that Hyukjae’s eyes are closed and his small chest is rising and falling gently. Well, at least his son is asleep at last!  Exchanging a soft giggle, Siwon tries again to move Hyukjae to his own bed and this time he succeeds!

When he bounds back to his own bedroom eagerly, Kyuhyun is already lying under the covers topless and waiting.

“Let me…me take a quick sho-shower.” Siwon trips over his tongue in a rush to undress and dash into the bathroom.

“I’ll be waiting here…Wonnie…..” Kyuhyun replied sultrily and adds in a lusty smirk for good measure. It is a wonder that Siwon did not trip over his own feet in a bid to get himself through the bathroom door.

A 4 minute shower and a good dose of cologne and Siwon burst back into his bedroom, flying towards his bed, ready to jump the delectable creature lying there waiting…..no…wait…..he’s…..

HOW CAN THAT BE!!!!!

Siwon moaned inwardly as he stopped dead in his tracks to stare at the sleeping figure on the bed. Albeit he is top bare but his passion still fizzled out at the sight of his spouse deep in sleep.

IT CAN’T BE!!!!!!

Siwon moaned again in frustration. For a moment he is tempted to wake Kyuhyun up and resume what they had planned to do. But another look at that tranquil sleeping face made him give up that thought quickly. With an air of resignation, he sat down gingerly to admire the beautiful face that snared his heart from the word ‘Go’.

Guess tonight’s not gonna happen, babe. Siwon mutters under his breath, getting back onto his feet to turn off all the lights in the room before climbing in next to his lover. Snaking one strong arm around his waist, he pulled close and rest his cheek against the warm smooth skin of his back.

“I love you.” Siwon whispers as he falls asleep too unaware of the tiny smile forming on Kyuhyun’s lips as he dreams of a dream filled with colors, people he loves and lots of joy; pretty much like his real life, don’t you think?
