Because she has someone she loves more than her life.

Even if it comes at the cost of your dreams

She would accept it....if it would make someone else's dream come true.

Lee Donghae, the little sibling from the orphanage where Donghae's good older brother, Kyuhyun, is. Another person who was sent

Kyuhyun is very caring. This little brother loves his older brother more than words can say. Came to the orphanage Protect and take care of Lee Donghae.

and for the person you love So she gave up everything for him, always asking only for Donghae to be happy. He himself is happy too.

Be happy together

It's finished. Sorry for being late. Don't be angry just yet.

Song code: Memories of Breathing Song code

Every person has their own dreams.

But how many people are willing to imagine that dream? To make another person's dream come true.

Even then....it would mean abandoning one's happiness forever.

Throughout the life that has passed since Lee Donghae breathed The only thing she remembers is The fact that there are people in her life One who is always by your side. Because she was born as a child in an orphanage. Abandoned by her birth mother, she was often labeled as an unloved child.

The indifferent and contemptuous glances from those around you encourage you to live your life every step of the way. Always be filled with a feeling of pressure. But she made it through that life. Just because of those hands Who supported her body every time she fell. Holding you in my arms every time you're cold

That person...........Zhou Kyuhyun

Kyuhyun was another child sent to this orphanage. But the reasons may be slightly different. Kyuhyun was sent here after his family had an accident and he was the only one who survived. Both Kyuhyun and her were raised together because they were sent here at the same time.

The two were therefore taught to love and care for each other always. Until there is a bond even though they are different people from different backgrounds.

“Remember this, if anyone dares to tease Donghae again. Next time, I won't just deal with you guys like this, remember this!!” The warm, deep voice that day had turned into a loud shout after dealing with the mischievous children who were holding back teasing Donghae. causing his little sibling to shed tears

before turning to embrace the small body Donghae took it and walked away.

“Who ordered and taught Kyuhyun to be a child like this? Is it okay to fight and hit other people like this?!” The scolding that came with the slamming of the rod against the body of the young man who stood still and received the punishment. In the eyes of a child who is always protected. No matter how much I tried to protest and explain the reasons to him,

But that was not in the listening ears of the person who was punishing the young man at all. Even more, he received a dissuading look from Kyuhyun. The person who always obeyed his brother could only cry until the punishment ended.

“Brother Kyu...is it hurt? Brother Kyu, are you in pain?..." The little sister who was waiting to tend the wound Still unable to stop my own tears The more she saw the marks on her brother's body, the more guilt she felt.

“I'm okay. Stop crying now.” The voice returned to being warm again. Was sent to comfort a small body that was frightened.

“Please....sorry. Donghae....Donghae has caused Kyu hyung trouble again..."

“Donghae didn't cause me any trouble. Don't think too much, you know?"

“But Donghae caused Kyu unnie to fight with them. And then..it caused Brother Kyu to be hit. If Donghae were stronger...unnie Kyu wouldn't have to suffer.” Hearing Donghae's self-condemnation, Kyu then turned around to face the small figure before slowly taking in the bright white face in front of him, staring at his own face.

“Donghae, listen to me……Donghae is the person you must protect. No matter whether Donghae is strong or weak, I will always take care of Donghae. So don't blame yourself, you know?” Comforting words that were conveyed from the heart. Donghae can feel it with his heart as well. Donghae then went straight and hugged the person in front of him tightly.

"Love...love Brother Kyu the most."

“Oh...I love Donghae too.”

A picture of a young boy whose body grew taller as he grew, singing a song to lull his small body. Lying on his lap is a sight that everyone who passes by here is accustomed to seeing. And it is a picture that always brings smiles from those who see it. Whether it's because of the soft bass that sounds soothing or love images

The bond of the two children But that can convey concern for each other very well. And when the young man finished singing the song until the last verse The sound of applause from the figure still lying on his lap rang out. With a cute smile It is a reward for the song that just ended.

“Uncle Kyu sings the best song in the world, do you know that?”

“Yeo oppa is too much, Donghae. There are still many people who sing better than you, did you know? Just a little longer and we can hear other people singing. I don't want to listen to you sing again."

“Not really, no one sings as beautifully as Donghae's Kyu hyung. And Donghae will only listen to the songs that Kyu hyung sings to him alone.” His face lifted with confidence. Until Kyuhyun couldn't resist pretending to touch his small nose. Donghae's twisted and turned, unable to play with his fangs.

“Let's keep it real. And I'll be watching.”

“Hehehe, oh..Really? Brother Kyu, do you know about Ryeowook having someone ask to raise him?” Kim Ryeowook was another child who was sent here. Ryeowook is a cute kid who is almost 3 years younger than Donghae, but because he is a kid who gets along with others easily, Even though I'm a little scared Making him another good friend of Donghae. Tomorrow, Ryeowook is going to leave here with a new family who has come to take care of Ryeowook.

“I already know. Now I'm lonely. I don't have any friends to play with.”

“Oh, you must be very lonely. But it's okay. They came to welcome Ryeowook. They were kind. They must be taking good care of Ryeowook. Donghae isn't worried.” The little sibling's sincere smile Expressing his pure feelings, this brother always has a smile on his face.

“Donghae, do you want someone to take Donghae and raise him like Ryeowook?”

“I really want it. Donghae wants to have a family. I want to have my own house. But it's impossible. Has an older brother ever told Donghae? that Donghae is too grown up There aren't many people asking to adopt a child who has grown up like Donghae.” What Ploy heard made this older brother worried. My heart was afraid that my little sister would be sad. And do you regret it?

“But Donghae doesn't regret it. No one came to ask Donghae to take care of him. Because if Donghae goes Donghae isn't with Kyu hyung. If so, Donghae won't go. Donghae will be with Kyu unnie.” Donghae's pleading words. This made this older brother smile uncontrollably. But I still couldn't help but worry about Donghae's feelings.

“Then Donghae wouldn't have fulfilled his dream.”

“It's okay because now Donghae has a new dream.”

“What did you dream about this time?”

“Donghae had a dream. That when Donghae grows up, he will marry the person Donghae loves. Donghae will have a beautiful house. It's on your own at the seaside. Donghae and him will be the happiest.”

"Oh....Dreams are so romantic."

“Heehee, and this dream, Donghae must be able to make it too. Brother Kyu, do you believe it?”

“Oh, and like this, when that time comes, Donghae will leave you? Why don't you see me in Donghae's dreams? Have you forgotten me already?” A tone of teasing rather than resentment was spoken from the person who had sacrificed herself to be Donghae's pillow. After listening, I still couldn't see myself in Donghae's dream.

“No, Donghae hasn't forgotten hyung Kyu. Kyuhyun hyung was also in Donghae's dream.” Donghae's explanation caused Kyuhyun to shake his head slightly. Covered with soft hair like silk, played with a feeling of affection. Without knowing that the explanation Donghae still can't explain it all.

Because Donghae said that Kyuhyun was in Donghae's dream.

Donghae means that he wants people to This was in her dream as someone other than her brother.

“What about Brother Kyu? Do you have any dreams? Please tell Donghae.”

“Brother? I have one too. But right now I can't tell Donghae.”

“Oh..why? Donghae, Donghae still told Kyu hyung. It's not fair.” Her small face turned to show that she was annoyed. Her brother couldn't help but laugh.

“Don't be angry at me, Donghae. Right now I really can't tell Donghae. When will it be time? I promise. I'll tell Donghae first, okay?" The little finger that was held out in front of her face This made the little body begin to hesitate. before nodding in agreement and sending her pinky finger to tangle with someone else's pinky finger.

Because it started with a dream........

...........Will anyone know what this dream will one day turn out to be?

8 years later

The time that dreams change along with the change of things around us includes the bond between a couple that becomes more and more tightly woven as the days go by. Kyuhyun has grown into a tall and slender young man. His face was sharp but warm. It is a charm that makes everyone fall in love with it.

Including his versatility and many talents. The more it pushes him to become a person that many people like. People dream of But no matter how much time passes, Kyuhyun's love and care will always be given to someone.

Today's Donghae has become a very delicate and nurturing young man. A thin body with a sweet, beautiful face that invites you to look at. Plus, his clear, pure eyes are what attracts the eyes of those around him. If today there wasn't a young man named Zhou Kyuhyun threatening beside him. I can guarantee that Donghae must have had a headache with the guys. that will definitely run towards you

Today was still another day where Kyuhyun and Donghae came to sing and play music after all this time, each of them having been dedicated to studying and working part-time.

“Donghae, I said....I'm going to apply for a singing contest,” Kyuhyun said as he saw Donghae opening a book to find the next sheet of music to play the piano and sing together.

"Hm!...singing contest."

“Oh, why? Donghae, do you think it's bad?” because he saw Donghae's shocked expression. It made him start to feel a little lost in confidence.

“It's not like that, Kyu hyung...Donghae doesn't really think like that. It's good that Kyu hyung sings because he'll die. It's just that Donghae is just surprised. I haven't seen Kyu hyung say before that he wants to compete."

“I want to be a singer. And now I saw an announcement that they were opening applications as well.”

“So, has Kyuhyun hyung applied yet?” When Donghae finished asking, Kyuhyun shook his head as an answer.

“I thought you would come and consult with us first. Because if you apply, there are many conditions. That's why I'm not sure.” And from the look that Donghae saw, she knew immediately that Kyuhyun really wasn't as confident as he said. She then walked over and held Kyuhyun's hand. Along with giving you your smile

“Brother Kyu, aren't you sure? Why don't you try telling Donghae?"

Donghae's smile is still what makes Kyuhyun feel relieved from stress. Because as soon as I received that smile Kyuhyun suddenly felt encouraged.

No matter how long.....Donghae will always be a special person to him.

“The competition has a lot of auditions. If you apply I have to join in activities with him. I don't know how many rounds there will be in the contest. If you really apply I definitely don't have time.”

“This is just this problem! ”

“It's not just this problem like Donghae said. Donghae, think about it if you have to do a lot of activities with him. The job that I'm doing, I'm definitely going to have to resign. What else is there to study? ....And the most important thing. If you don't have time like that How are you going to take care of Donghae?” Kyuhyun's thoughts were conveyed without concealment. Donghae, who was listening, squeezed the hand holding the person in front of him even tighter than before as encouragement.

“It really is just this matter. That's it, Brother Kyu. What are you thinking about so much? Please ask, what are you worried about? There are a lot of things like this. Have you forgotten that it's P'Kyu? There's still this little guy, what are you afraid of? This matter is very comfortable.”

“Hm..What does Donghae mean? I don't understand."

“About studying. Even though P'Kyu didn't go to class, P'Kyu went and asked to see the lecture from P'Kyu's friend. Like Siwon Or Brother Yesung. They are so kind that they are willing to help Brother Kyu. But if the elders are not convenient, bring it to Brother Kyu himself. Do you want this? Donghae will go and give his lectures to unnie Kyu every day himself, no problem.

It's also good that Donghae would have asked his hyungs to come and tell him that Kyu hyung has to prepare for the exam. Or what days are you preparing to send work? Just this is not difficult to see.”

“Absolutely not at all like that. Doing that, Donghae, is really tiring. I won't take it with you."

“If you don't want to, you have to give in to Brother Kyu. As for the next matter regarding work, Brother Kyu can resign. Because just a little more and I'll win the contest. Now I will be a singer. You don't have to go to work anywhere and you'll be rich, hehe."

“Heh heh, but until that day comes, I'll starve to death first, Donghae. Don't forget Si Donghae. I don't know whether I will win the contest or not. And one more thing until then. Now where will you get the money to spend if you don't work?”

“It's Donghae's money.”

“Donghae!!..” The tone indicated that the speaker was dissatisfied. It didn't shock Donghae in the slightest. Because she knew exactly how Kyuhyun would react to her idea. But when she made up her mind She will still insist on her original words.

“Uncle Kyu...Uncle Kyu, listen to Donghae. Brother Kyu is the older brother that Donghae loves. Just this matter, if Donghae can help, Donghae wants to help. Another thing is that when Donghae gave Kyu unnie free use, when did Kyu unnie get a job and have money? Now Donghae won't work anymore. Hehe. Donghae will stay still. Let Brother Kyu take care of you and watch.”

Even though Donghae's words were joking, Why is Kyuhyun living together with Donghae? He's always protected Donghae like he didn't know that because Donghae wanted to persuade him to do as she said. But he himself was still in trouble. Taking advantage of Donghae was not what he wanted.

“Brother Kyu, don't think too much about anything. Follow your dreams. Donghae will be happy to help you.”

“Donghae..”

“Tomorrow, Brother Kyu will go apply for the contest. Donghae will go as a friend."

“.........” When it came time to make a decision, Kyuhyun had to think hard to make this decision. Because one way is the first step towards your dreams. Another way is the younger sibling he loves. But when he saw Donghae's true intentions and good wishes, it made him surrender.

“Oh...thank you, Donghae. Thank you for everything.”

What Kyuhyun had said had come true exactly as Kyuhyun had said. Because since Kyuhyun was able to enter the first round in that contest Almost all of Kyuhyun's time was devoted to practicing and doing activities as set by the contest organizers. Donghae even met with Kyuhyun every day because she still fulfilled her promise to be the one to fetch the lectures from Siwon or Yesung and give them to Kyuhyung.

But that was only a little time that the two of them spent together.

Donghae knew how hard Kyuhyun trained. Even though there are some breaks But during that time, her hyung Kyu had to spend taking lectures, reading books, or doing assignments, making it difficult for Donghae to see what work she could do instead of Kyu. You can stand it. She will secretly do it instead.

without letting Kyuhyun know Only Siwon and Yesung knew about this. Because the two of them were often the ones who gave her advice in that work.

“Donghae is really good too. I think we'll do a better job than you guys did.” Yesung's cheeky words brought out a small smile. From Donghae who was packing up her things after she finished work. And I want to give it to my friend, my good brother.

“Because I had Yesung hyung and Siwon hyung helping me. It's not because of Donghae."

“So, are we going to take the lecture to Kyu Man? Let's go eat with you guys first, Donghae. It's the babysitters themselves. We haven't eaten anything yet, right?"

“Can you keep it for next time, Yesung hyung? Donghae needs to hurry up and take the lecture to Kyu unnie and then go to work at the shop.”

“Hey!..Do you want to continue working? Did you get some rest, Donghae? Do you think it'd be better to take a break?"

“That's right, Donghae, I think we've done a lot of this and that. Now, I'll take this lecture and you and Yesung will give it to Kyu. Donghae, go rest and go get something to eat.” The concern in front of him was conveyed by the young man who had only been his older brother's friend for a long time. But that concern probably wouldn't reach some bodies. Because Donghae chose to shake his head and smile in thanks instead.

“Donghae wants to give it to Kyu hyung himself, Siwon hyung. Donghae will be able to go see Kyu hyung too.”

“Then would you like me to send it away?”

“It's okay. It's better next time. I think Yesung hyung and Siwon hyung are addicted to Donghae in different ways, hehe.”

“Huh, it really hurts. Okay, I won't forget. But hurry and come and claim it, I'm forgetful.” Two more teasing sentences were spoken. After that, Donghae walked away. There were only two young men left who could only look at the small backs. that with concern

“I'm jealous of Kyu. I have a younger sibling with a very cute face. Plus, give it your all."

"yeah"

“Really knowing. In his previous life, what did he make merit with? Born with good looks, good voice, and good at everything. Having a younger sibling is very noble.”

"yeah"

“Plus, in the future, it looks likely that I will have a younger brother-in-law who will also be a young man from the Choi family.”

"Oh...hey!! What are you talking about?" By the time he realized that he had been noticed by his best friend, it was too late. Because right now Yesung was staring at him as if telling him. 'He has given up on it'

“Don't think I don't know, Siwon. That you are dishonest with little Kyu Man? When I saw you looking at Donghae, I already knew your thoughts.”

“I didn't think of anything like that. Don't mess around, Yesung.”

“So....then I'm worried about all sorts of things about his younger sibling. Looking at his little brother with wistful eyes, he thought so innocently. With his younger sibling, right?"

“If you like his younger sibling, I don't have anything to do with it. Why would you shut it down? That's the person you have to shut down. Still shouting and practicing singing at the contest over there.”

“You know how jealous Kyu is of Donghae.”

"Yes, I know. I quite understand why he's so possessive. Hehe."

“Oh, even a lot of people like Donghae. Kyu still acts like that. I don't want it to know. Because if he knew what I thought of him I will never talk to Donghae like this again.”

“Oh, don't think about it too much. Maybe Kyuman will see friendship and allow you to flirt with Donghae, who knows? Whatever hasn't happened yet, don't think too much about it. I'm stressed for nothing.”

"yeah"

“Come on, change the mode. It's time to be sad and take Kyu's work and send it off. I couldn't deliver it in time. I can assure you that your popularity rating from Donghae's sister will definitely decrease. Points were deducted for making my beloved older brother deduct because he didn't arrive on time for work.”

The final round of the singing competition will be held in a week. Donghae, who knew the news ahead of time from Kyuhyun's words, still couldn't help but feel excited. She already had the front-row ticket to the final round after waiting in line at 5:00 a.m. on the first day the tickets went on sale.

Because she was worried that if she was late, the front row ticket would allow her to see her brother clearly. That will be gone first. Trying to ignore the fact that it was so expensive that she had to use the money she earned from working for most of the week to pay for the card this time.

Speaking of this, Donghae could only sigh as he took out his last passbook, which aside from having no additional savings. There were still only withdrawals until the savings that she had worked hard to save all her life in order to realize her dreams seemed to be getting further and further away.

“Hello, Brother Kyu.” The sound of the phone ringing caused Donghae to stop his thoughts. before smiling and answering the phone when she saw that it was her elder Kyu who was calling.

[How is Donghae? Have you eaten anything yet?]

“Already done. Don't worry about other people just yet. How is that P'Kyu? Are you so excited that you can't eat anything? Haha."

[Not that much. But I'm really excited. There will be a final round of competition. I don't know what will happen.]

“Don't worry, Brother Kyu. Donghae's hyung Kyu is already talented. Donghae guarantees that Kyu unnie must do very well. Until we definitely win the contest, Donghae is confident.”

[I will try my best for Donghae.]

Donghae really wants to know. Do the people who say those words know? That it made her heart swell strangely. But at the same time I felt deep pain. When he understood well what status Kyuhyun's words had given her.

Younger brother.......that person probably never knew anything about your feelings at all.

[Donghae, you have to hang up first. He has called for practice.]

“Fighting, Kyu-hyung, Donghae is rooting for you.”

[Oh, bye-bye, I'll call you again.]

The end of the cable was cut in advance. Kyuhyun didn't notice the strange sound coming from the other end of the line when the hand holding the cell phone suddenly let it fall. Along with a small body that slowly squatted down on the ground, the hand that had let go of the phone slowly grabbed onto its own head.

Suddenly there was a sharp pain. Donghae tried to maintain his composure to walk to the bed. But after not having walked more than three steps, the little figure went back and sat down on the ground again. The intense pain caused tears to flow from both eyes. And everything remained that bad for almost five minutes before all the symptoms gradually subsided.

When everything was better, Donghae forced himself to walk towards the bed again. before falling asleep on his own bed Then he tried to adjust his breathing back to normal after having to endure heavy breathing for a long time. This isn't the first time she's been. She's been like this a few times this week.

But this time it seemed to be more severe than any other time. And in the past, she herself didn't have enough free time to the point of neglecting her illness.

........She could only hope that it wasn't anything serious.

When the singing contest arrives at the final round All the older fans of their favorite trainee singers came together to watch in a frenzy. There weren't many of them that Donghae saw as fans of her beloved brother. Seeing this, Donghae couldn't help but feel really happy for Kyuhyun.

“There are a lot of Ai Kyu's fans as well. Look, there are a lot of Kyu's signs."

“That's it, Yesung hyung. Seeing this, Donghae couldn't help but feel excited. If Pee Kyu sees that he has a lot of fans like this, he will be very happy.”

“I think Kyu just saw Donghae coming and he was so happy.”

“Not at all, Siwon hyung. Donghae alone will definitely not be able to make Kyu's dream come true. Pee Kyu must get strength from those fans. Kyu hyung will be able to make his dream come true.” Donghae's acceptance of the fact that he was still standing and looking at his hyung's fans was. Makes the brother's two best friends not be able to help worry about this little body's feelings.

They knew that it was only Kyuhyun who was jealous of this little body. Donghae was also jealous of her older brother. And seeing that your brother encouraged you to focus on others more than yourself. It must have caused Donghae quite a bit of pain.

“But if Kyu doesn't have Donghae? It didn't get here by itself, believe me."

“Oh, and I believe you, Donghae. That for Kyu, there is no one more important than Donghae, I assure you.” The concern she received from her brother's friend. This caused Donghae to turn around and smile in thanks to the two of them again. Before the three of them walked into the competition together

The time of the competition had passed and the results were as expected and the winner was inevitable. The handsome and talented young man Zhou Kyuhyun is currently giving an interview about his victory. and starting to step into the entertainment industry Donghae watched her brother far away from where he was giving the interview, impressed.

She already knew that her elder Kyu would be able to do it. And she was never really disappointed. The first step in Kyu's success made her feel so worth it.

Pee Kyu's first step Even though it had to come in exchange for taking several steps back from her dreams..she accepted.

“Donghae, you did it!! You won the contest!!” After finishing the interview Kyuhyun immediately rushed towards his younger sibling who supported him in everything.

“Oh. Donghae saw it. I told you that Donghae's Kyu hyung can do it. And Kyu did well too.”

“Because you have Donghae. That's why you're able to do this well.”

“Hey hey, I'm being too sweet with you. Have you seen the heads of two people? We are here to support you.”

“Oh, I haven't forgotten you guys. Anyway, thank you for the past. And also who came tonight.”

“Let's be friends. That's it, no problem.” He saw his brother finish talking happily with his friend. Donghae then handed the young man a large bouquet of flowers that she had prepared. Kyuhyun smiled and accepted the bouquet of flowers. But he couldn't help protesting.

“Donghae bought it for you? Actually, you don't have to buy it for me. As soon as Donghae comes, I'm satisfied. Plus, I bought this big bouquet. I don't know how much money I spent.”

“Not at all, Brother Kyu. Brother Kyu's success How can Donghae not have a gift for Kyu hyung? Is that true?”

“Then let's exchange.” The things the young man said in exchange for the large bouquet of flowers. Holding the trophy of victory in the contest he had worked so hard to win.

“I already told Donghae that I would win the contest for Donghae. So this trophy belongs to Donghae. Keep it carefully.” Hearing this, Donghae slowly stretched out his hand to receive his brother's prestigious trophy before gently holding it up with care. Then he turned and nodded in confirmation.

“Donghae will take good care of it.”

“Ah, if the award ceremony for the two brothers is finished. Then you can go home. The snakes will send you and your younger brother on their own.”

“That's it, let's go back. By now, Brother Kyu probably wants to rest. Let's go, Brother Kyu."

“Uh...Donghae..”

"Hmm...is something wrong, Brother Kyu?"

“Well...today I probably won't be able to go back with Donghae... The contest organizer will have you stay at the hotel they arranged to prepare for tomorrow's event, Donghae.”

“.........” There was immediate silence. After they finished listening to Kyuhyun's reasons, The silence that occurred made Kyuhyun unable to help feeling bad.

“I'm sorry, Donghae. That I can't go with Donghae. I'm sorry...it's me..."

“It's okay, Brother Kyu. That's all. Brother Kyu has to prepare here. But in any case, don't forget to take a break, Brother Kyu. Don't force yourself, you know?"

“Donghae isn't angry at you.” He could hear that his little sibling understood. But he still couldn't help but worry.

“Why are you angry? Brother Kyu didn't just run away from Donghae and go travel alone. Donghae isn't angry at Kyu hyung."

“Donghae...”

“Then Donghae, go back first, Kyu-hyung. Donghae will call you soon."

“Oh, Siwon, Yesungwan, please send Donghae off.”

“Don't worry, I'll go pick up Donghae myself. You just took a break for a while.”

“Alright, then let's go first. See you later."

“Oh.” Kyuhyun could only nod and look at the small back that slowly walked away from view little by little until it disappeared.

“Thank you very much Siwon unnie for coming to send Donghae off.”

"It's okay, I'm willing." A look that wanted to convey a message was handed to me. And this time, it wasn't that Donghae didn't notice or recognize it.

“Oh, Brother Siwon, please come back. Driving late at night is dangerous.”

“Donghae is taking a break too. Do you know that I'm worried?"

“Ha, come home carefully, Siwon-hyung.” Donghae walked out of the luxury car. But he still didn't walk into the building. to want to stand and send Siwon to drive away first

“Donghae, please go into your room. You don't have to send me. The more I do this, the more worried I become.”

“Oh, then sweet dreams, Brother Siwon. Thank you for today.” Seeing Siwon's desire, Donghae chose to act accordingly. But before she had taken three steps, the voices of the people in the car rang out behind her.

“I will wait for the day when Donghae will give me a chance. Please take me into consideration.”

“Uncle Siwon!!..” When I turned around again, I only saw that person's smile. before driving away Ignoring the shocked expression of the person he had asked for the opportunity just now.

Donghae walked up to his own room. Cheap rooms That she and Kyuhyun had collected money through hard work. To rent a place to live after coming out to live on your own. The food was beautifully arranged on the dining table. All of which are Kyuhyun's favorite things that she made herself.

She could only sigh when the person she wanted to come and try her cooking skills. Now I'm in another place, unable to come here. But when she looked down at the trophy in her hand, The smile appeared again. She then walked over and placed the trophy on the table near her bed.

"Ah..Oh!!!..." The pain came back again. And this time the symptoms seemed to be more severe until Donghae felt numb all over, his small body slowly collapsing to the floor. Pain that has no origin But it became more and more violent, causing Donghae to feel unbearable pain.

Plus not having much rest from working. Both eyelids gradually It closed before Donghae's consciousness faded as well.

I don't know how many hours had passed since she had such a headache that she lost consciousness and lay on the floor like this. Because when she regained consciousness and opened her eyes again The sky that she remembered as black before she lost consciousness was now a bright blue. That made her know that by now it was probably too late. By this time, Donghae had begun to think that her condition was probably not just an ordinary little rest.

because the symptoms are becoming more and more severe And the frequency of the symptoms was starting to make her worried. No sooner had she realized her fear than her cell phone rang. And it could definitely be none other than her brother.

“Hello, Brother Kyu.”

[Donghae...Donghae what are you doing! Why didn't you call me when you got to your accommodation last night? Do you know how worried I am? I called and didn't answer. Until I had to call and ask Siwon and Yesung if we had arrived at our accommodation yet, do you know?]

The harsh words spoken out of concern by Kyuhyun didn't make Donghae's morning dull in the slightest.

On the contrary.... Kyuhyun's concern is like a medicine for Donghae's strength.

“Last night, Donghae came back and fell asleep, Kyu-hyung. Brother Kyu, don't be angry at Donghae. Donghae didn't intend to make Kyu unnie worried like this.”

[Sigh...I already told you to get plenty of rest. Don't work hard like this, I won't believe you. But Donghae is absolutely fine.]

“Oh....Donghae really is okay, Brother Kyu. Donghae is strong enough to die, hehe.” Although he was still secretly worried about his condition. But Donghae had already decided not to let the matter not be his own business. Definitely going to make her Brother Kyu worry.

[Oh, then that's good. Actually, Donghae, you have something to tell me.]

“What is it, Brother Kyu?”

[Today, I'm going to sign the contract. I'm about to become a singer. I will succeed.]

“Really, Brother Kyu! Unnie Kyu really didn't lie to Donghae."

[Oh, I'm telling the truth, Donghae. After you finish signing the contract, I will quickly go find Donghae. Donghae is waiting for you.]

“Yes, Kyu hyung, hurry up and come. Donghae will make Kyu hyung's favorite food for you.”

[Then let's talk about the contract first, Donghae. See you later.]

After hanging up the phone, Donghae was like being in a bright world again. It had been a long time since she had eaten with Kyuhyun. Because in order to pursue Kyuhyun's dreams, it was necessary to put in a lot of physical and mental effort. Until the time we used to spend together seemed to decrease. But today everything is about to return to the way it was before. No...I have to say it's even better than before.

But you know what.....that's not the beginning of getting closer.

.........But it was the beginning of a distance that was about to increase from now on.

Donghae, stupid kid.....how could he forget?

Have you forgotten that being a singer isn't easy?

How could you think that everything would be the same?

She's being selfish in holding onto Kyu unnie's time only.

Donghae's inner words that always resounded in her heart. Keep forcing Donghae to still be able to smile in front of Kyuhyun these days. Becoming a singer is really not easy. Even after passing the contest and signing the contract Because from that day on, nothing was as before as Donghae had hoped.

Kyuhyun's tight practice schedule severely eats up Donghae's happy time. But because every time I see Kyuhyun's happy face making his dreams come true, So she couldn't blame things.

I can only blame myself....for having a bad habit. Don't take your happiness to yourself alone.

Throughout the past nine months, Kyuhyun has been preparing to release his own album. It made the lives of both Donghae and Kyuhyun change a lot. Kyuhyun and Donghae haven't lived in their old room for almost a month now. Because of the long distance from the record label, Kyuhyun often made his way to the company late and received criticism.

Donghae then offered to move them to a new dormitory that was closer to the company. Even though the price of this new hotel room was quite high, Kyuhyun objected. But it probably wasn't too late. Because the next day Donghae came to tell him that he had already contacted and paid the rent for the new room 3 months in advance.

Even though I was secretly confused and annoyed at Donghae for not consulting him first. But because I know that Donghae did everything with good intentions. So he just followed along.

“Donghae..are you okay?..don't keep quiet like this. I have a bad temper!!” The voice of Donghae's colleague Hyukjae sounded in his ear. Even though I only heard it faintly But it was able to bring Donghae's consciousness back again.

"Ah..oh...we...are fine now."

“It's nothing crazy!! You're already very serious. Why did you say it was gone? Then why do you have a headache that makes you unable to stand like this again!!!” A voice that clearly indicated Hyukjae's dissatisfaction. Making Donghae, who was already pale, begin to feel even more embarrassed with the hidden guilt.

“At first, it really got better.”

“Have you gone to the doctor yet, Donghae?”

"I've been there. I went there yesterday."

"The doctor said what's wrong with you..."

“Donghae!!...What did the doctor say is wrong with you?”

“Migraine...the doctor told me I was very stressed. And then take a little rest. Moreover, I refused to go for treatment from the beginning, leaving it for too long made it even worse.”

“Are you sure, Donghae…”

“Oh, the doctor also told me to reduce weight. What work is being done? And then get lots of rest. I got a lot of medicine.”

“Sigh....a little relieved, I thought it was something serious. You have to do as the doctor tells you, you know? No, just like today, you don't have to do it anymore. I'll do your part myself. Go to sleep. I went out to continue working.”

“Oh, thank you, Hyukjae.”

“Oh, this matter is very comfortable.”

But Hyukjae probably doesn't know that. As soon as she walked out of the room The tears that had been hidden from those who had been ordered to rest began to fall down, feeling disappointed at their fate.

' Doctor, what were the test results last week? What exactly is wrong with me, doctor?'

‘The doctor wants you to calm down and listen carefully to the doctor.’ Just those words made her fear that she had been holding on to double. But she still followed what the young doctor in front of her had told her.

' From the examination results of Mr. Lee Donghae We have detected a tumor in your brain.'

'Doctor...doctor..what did you say?'

' We found a tumor in your brain area. And now it is spreading to many other parts of the body. You came very late for the physical examination, do you know that? You shouldn't have allowed yourself to suffer this much.' The doctor's words seemed to pass through only a third of Donghae's perception. Because now confusion still dominates her to the point where she is unable to understand anything else.

‘I…am I going to die?’ The most feared thing was asked after being silent for a long time.

' If treated in a timely manner There's still a chance to recover.'

'I...what should I do?'

' The doctor recommends that you undergo surgery as soon as possible. Surgery will be your best treatment right now.'

'Surgery? Oh...then what about the expenses, doctor?'

' Yes, it is a rather high expense. But it's the only way For yourself, Mr. Lee Donghae.'

'Right now...I don't have that much money.' Money....the only lump sum in his life. Money...that he saved to make his dreams come true. He doesn't have it anymore. He had already used it up to pay for that new room.

What should he do next?

His life, what should he do next?

Brother Kyu...Donghae is so tired. Donghae...I miss P'Kyu so much.

[continue]

People's dreams One that started from a small point. Supported by those around you Make each step this man takes It's a steady step. The more trained talents combined with the knowledge of how to adapt appropriately for those who will become superstars. Makes today Jo Kyuhyun

Become one of the hearts of every citizen Every song has this person's name singing it. They are all accepted throughout.

But what a pity....that Zhou Kyuhyun has only released one album.

The only album that many people talk about and praise as a legend.

......that is still imprinted in all of our hearts forever.

[ 1 year earlier ]

That day is a day that I still remember well and will never forget. The day I was the happiest and the most distressed at the same time The best music award I received at that time It made my feelings of exhaustion from hard work relax. The loud applause was like water that nourished my body with more encouragement.

After that night of joy had passed I walked over and thanked the team for being a part of making me what I am today. Before walking to the area in front of the event where there was an army of media and many people standing to congratulate the singer. Your favorite actor who received an award One of which must include that person.

........The person I love.....Donghae

“How do you feel about receiving this year's Best Song Award?”

“I feel delighted and honored. This award gives me the encouragement to continue making better music. In return for the trust that everyone has given And I guarantee that I will not disappoint anyone.”

“And today there are a lot of Mr. Kyuhyun's fans. Do you have anything to say to the fans?” That question gave me enough time to look into the crowd. to look for that person And I finally met him.

Donghae is looking at me. That sweet, pretty face was decorated with the smile that Donghae always gave me. in little arms There was a large bouquet of flowers that were held with care. That alone was enough to make my heart beat again.

“I want to thank you. Thank you for always being by my side. never leaves me anywhere On the days when I'm discouraged because I know there's still someone who cares about me. I had the strength to get up again. Therefore, this award that I received is not mine alone. It is also a gift of encouragement to me. Because without the encouragement that was sent to me, I definitely wouldn't be where I am today.”

After finishing that sentence, there were endless screams that became louder and louder. which will continue to be a pleasure like that

“Donghae!!!!!” The small figure I turned and saw was lying on the ground. In the middle, a scream changed into a scream that came from shock. I rushed over and grabbed Donghae's body. And it must have felt like my heart stopped for a moment when I saw Donghae's pale face.

“Hyung...Kyu...” Donghae's tired voice came out. Even Donghae's eyes were hard to force to open to look at her brother's face.

“Donghae!! What's wrong with Donghae? Tell me, Donghae!!”

“Flowers..plants...Donghae.......brought them to you..” A scratchy voice was still being spoken. Which made me even more nervous.

“Call an ambulance...someone call an ambulance for me!!!!”

The nightmare I realized after Donghae was taken to the emergency room. It was as if someone was destroying my entire life before my very eyes.

....Brain cancer... The terrible disease that Donghae is facing has been alone for a long time.

I have never been informed of this truth. The doctor who treated Donghae was called in to tell the story. That Donghae never said anything to anyone for me to listen to.

'Mr. Lee Donghae has known this for a long time. She knew it from the beginning of her symptoms. that there is still a way to cure it But because the treatment costs quite a lot. As a result, she has always avoided treatment. Until now, her condition is too severe for treatment to completely cure her. Doctor, I'm sorry.'

“Why...why didn't you tell me!!!! Why is it!!!!!”

“Donghae...are you awake?”

“Brother...Kyu...”

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"

“You know, right?....Kyu hyung knows, right?” Donghae's voice behind me squeezed my heart more than anything. I didn't even dare to turn around and look at Donghae. I'm...too weak. I... don't care.

“Why...Donghae...why didn't you tell me...Why did Donghae do this...?”

“Donghae is sorry...Uncle Kyu...don't cry...Donghae is sorry.”

“Why didn't Donghae tell you? Why didn't you treat it then? Why did Donghae leave everything so late like this...”

“Huh....sorry..Donghae..I really don't know what to do. Donghae didn't dare tell Kyu hyung... Kyu hyung was going to be a singer... huh... Donghae was afraid.... afraid that Donghae would destroy Kyu hyung's dream... .”

“Then let yourself die like this!!!!!”

“Huh....” Both of our cries still echo in my heart until now. At that time, I wanted to hug Donghae. Convince him that it's okay. And everything will pass. But I can't do it. Because I know that everything is beyond what someone like me can fix and beyond the point where I can accept it. I'm about to lose him.

“Uncle Kyu, where are you taking Donghae?” Donghae, who was sitting in the driver's seat, asked me. After I took Donghae out of the hospital and drove straight out of the city.

“Didn't Donghae tell you himself? That Donghae wants to be released from the hospital.” I turned to look at Donghae, who nodded in response to me. But he still tilted his head and looked at me suspiciously.

“I'm going to take Donghae to a place. Go to sleep, Donghae, and get some rest. When I get there, I'll wake you up." I reached out my hand and rubbed his small head. That was to convince my little brother to let him go into the realm of gossip.

“Donghae doesn't want to sleep with Kyu hyung...Donghae is afraid that...”

“Donghae has an older brother. I promise when I get there I will wake Donghae up. Donghae will wake up, right?” I didn't dare wait to hear Donghae's fears until the end. Because I myself am afraid...it's no different.

“Wake up, Donghae, do you understand?”

“Oh, Donghae will wake up... Kyu hyung must wake Donghae up.” After that, Donghae's eyes slowly closed as my tears slowly started to fall. It poured down and could no longer be controlled.

“Donghae is here. Please wake up, please.”

"....Uh...Brother..Kyu...have you arrived yet?"

“Yes, I'm here. Come down.” I reached out and wrapped my hand around Donghae's thin body. Donghae himself was slightly dazed. But he doesn't deny my touch. When he got out of the car, Donghae's eyes stopped on the still image in front of him.

“So beautiful, Brother Kyu. Did Kyu take Donghae to the beach?”

“Uh...Donghae wants to come, right?”

“Oh, so beautiful, I thought you weren't coming. Do you remember when Donghae said that Donghae wanted to have a house by the sea? If Donghae had a seaside house like this one, it would be great.” Donghae's weak smile Makes me have to embrace him

“Donghae, this is our home. The house that Donghae dreamed of? You can make Donghae's dream come true."

“Brother Kyu....what does that mean?”

“I'm sorry, Donghae, because you're a person who doesn't have anything. You don't have enough wisdom to make Donghae's dreams come true by becoming Zhou. Kyuhyun, an ordinary person like that. The only thing I have is my own voice. A voice that if it could lead you to becoming a singer I will have enough money. To make Donghae's dream come true."

My embrace tightened even more as I felt Donghae's trembling body. I know that Donghae is crying. And I myself am crying.

“Did you ever tell Donghae that you wanted to be a singer?” Even though there was no response, But Donghae who was nodding at me was the answer. It made me know that Donghae was still waiting to hear the story I was conveying to him.

“Donghae, do you know that you want to be a singer? But that's not your dream.” The more I said it, It's like Donghae will sob harder and harder. So I raised one hand that was hugging Donghae and gently stroked Donghae's hair.

“The fact that I want to be a singer It's just because being a singer is the only way that I can make people's dreams come true. You can only get one.”

“It enabled me to have enough money to buy this seaside house. Enough to buy a diamond ring to propose to someone.”

“Huh....”

"But do you know....how much when you try to make someone else's dream come true, it takes you far from your own dream..."

“Because my only dream in life is for you to be at Donghae's side.”

“Huh.....”

“Nearby, not far away”

“Brother...Kyu...”

“And got to know every story of Donghae, the person I love.”

“Huh, Brother Kyu, huh....”

“If you could follow your dreams. You probably knew before that Donghae had always suffered alone. I wouldn't let Donghae suffer like this.”

“Don't say this. Oppa Kyu....it's okay. That's enough. Oppa Kyu has done enough for Donghae..."

“I'm sorry, Donghae. I'm sorry that I don't know anything...."

“That's enough...Uncle Kyu...Just for Donghae to know how much Unnie Kyu has done for Donghae, that's enough. There's no need to feel guilty anymore....”

“Donghae......”

“Uncle Kyu, Donghae..I love you Kyu.”

“I love Donghae too. Marry me.” The kiss that he carefully gave. It is transmitted from one heart to another. When each side gets to know and appreciate each other No matter how cruel the future looks But he and she are ready to face it.

I just want today for him and you to continue to have each other.

“Donghae, wake up and eat something.” Kyuhyun woke up and set the table for his lover. Walked back to the bed to wake the little one who was still sleeping on the bed to go eat the first breakfast of their life together.

“Donghae, please do this for Donghae.”

“Why did Donghae say that Donghae would wake up when you woke me up.....”

“Even when Donghae was leaving you. Did Donghae still leave you without letting you say goodbye?”

"You're so mean to me." The man's tears flowed again. And this time, he couldn't tell when the flow would stop.

“But even if Donghae is mean to you, I still love Donghae.”

“Sweet dreams, my darling.”

After the incident where a young singer with a bright future carried a sweet-faced, nameless man who fainted at that award ceremony. No one saw the young singer again. Some reports say that the unidentified young man is the lover of the young singer who they have been searching for for a long time. When they met, they went to live together in foreign countries.

Some say that the young singer has turned to working behind the scenes like composing songs. To have time to spend with his lover, who is that fan. But who knows the truth?

Zhou Kyuhyun hasn't disappeared anywhere. He still sings every song. The day he was still breathing, only one person was listening. That person's body will be buried near this beautiful house by the sea. And everything will continue like this for a long time to come.

[ End ]

I'm sorry that I came to finish the wedding so late. During this time we went to practice very hard -_-

It's a fic that is very difficult to finish. Because if you keep every detail, it will turn into a long fic.

Anyway, please give some feedback ^-^
