After a Minute (A Super Junior Fanfiction)

Chapter 33

          The day Sungmin had been dreading was about to be here. He sat on Kyuhyun’s bed and watched him pack his final suitcase. “There we go, all done,” Kyuhyun slowly said. He turned to Sungmin and saw the blonde hang his head low.

          Kneeling down in front of him, Kyuhyun placed his hands on Sungmin’s face and kissed his lips gently as Sungmin let tears spill down his face and wrapped his arms around Kyuhyun’s neck. “What time do you have to leave tomorrow?” Sungmin quietly asked.

          “About two, but we have to be at the airport by eleven thirty,” Kyuhyun informed.

          “Will you stay the night with me one more time?” Sungmin requested.

          Kyuhyun nudged his face against his boyfriend, and replied “Yes, I’ll stay with you, just as long as I get to the airport on time tomorrow.”

          “Okay, Kangin and Leeteuk will take you,” Sungmin muttered. “Just please come home with me tonight.” Sungmin grabbed Kyuhyun’s shirt collar and pulled him closer as they kissed again.

          “Guys, what’s gonna happen to Sungmin after Kyuhyun leaves?” Heechul asked his brothers as they sat at the kitchen table with their boyfriends.

          “I don’t know; you don’t think he’d revert back to being his old self, do you?” Yesung wondered.

          “What was his old self like?” Ryeowook inquired.

          “Minnie was silent, wouldn’t talk to anyone and pretty much was depressed for about four years,” Donghae informed. “Kyuhyun has really brought Sungmin out of his shell, Minnie smiles the most now when he’s with Kyuhyun; and losing him would be devastating to his heart.”

          “We’ve gotta be a support system for him, especially for the first few weeks,” Heechul stated.

          “Yeah, and we really need to make sure he doesn’t start self-harming, that’s something he may start doing,” Hankyung replied.

          “I’ll make sure he doesn’t,” Yesung promised.

          Sungmin and Kyuhyun came home that afternoon and silently ate dinner with the group as they held hands underneath the table. “Kyuhyun, where are you going to be moving to in America?” Leeteuk asked, trying to break the silence.

          “California,” Kyuhyun muttered. “We’ll be there indefinitely, which is not a fun thing.” He felt Sungmin squeeze his hand softly.

          Leeteuk looked over at Kangin. “Honey we talked about this,” Kangin reminded quietly, knowing what Leeteuk was hinting at.

          “But sweetie I want Kyuhyun to be with Sungmin as long as possible,” Leeteuk said.

          “It’s not our place to take him away from his family,” Kangin replied.

          “We took Eunhyuk in,” Leeteuk responded as he looked over at Donghae and Eunhyuk.

          Kangin froze. “His situation was different though,” he said. “Kyuhyun’s family want him to go with them, we can’t just take him from people who love him.”

          “We can love him just as much or even more,” Leeteuk stated.

          Kangin slammed a fist down on the table, causing his sons to jump. “Dammit Leeteuk, I told you we aren’t discussing this anymore.” Leeteuk felt his heart pound; Kangin had never spoke to him like this before, and it was scaring him. The brunette parent stood up and left the kitchen. Looking at the boys, Kangin apologized to them before standing up and following Leeteuk upstairs. “Honey, I’m sorry,” he muttered as he closed the door to their bedroom.
