A clatter of dishes and the crashes of plates were heard from the dining room. Sungmin quickly rushed to the living room and widened his eyes at the sight. Sunjung was crouched on the floor, holding onto her head. Blood covered her arms as she shook. He crouched down and grabbed a wet washcloth, trying to clean up the blood. "My head hurts. It feels like my brain is throbbing rapidly…"
"It's probably one of your fevers getting worse. I can help you." "No, no, it's settling down…" Sunjung smiled. Sungmin kissed her on the forehead. "Don't worry. I'll protect you, Sunjunnie ah." He hugged her affectionately.
Sungmin took her hand gently and brought her to his room. Sunjung sat on his bed and looked up at Sungmin. He started kissing her affectionately. She returned the kiss, as they deepened the kiss. Sunjung fidgeted when Sungmin started kissing her on the neck, lowering his lips at each kiss. "Sungminnie ah…" She nearly moaned out.
"AISH! GUYS, YOU WERE RIGHT!" Heechul's voice screamed. The members, excluding Leeteuk who went outside with Minsoo again, looked at them in their current position. Sungmin flushed, noticing he was on top of Sunjung. "SUNGMINNIE AH, I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE THAT KIND OF PERSON." "You're too young, Sungmin sshi!" "Another side of Sungmin…" Shindong shook his head.
"SUNGMIN. Get off my cousin or else Little Turtle will EAT YOU FOR REAL." Yesung brought his turtle that just looked around as if he's thinking: "Whatever. I'm a vegetarian." "RAWRGH." Ryeowook started poking the turtle.
Sungmin got off Sunjung, who was left all flustered and red. Stupid, why did I do that? I just thought we could deepen our relationship, that's all… Then I couldn't control myself. Dang. He grabbed a glass of water and returned to Sunjung, giving it to her.
"Thanks…" Sunjung gulped down the water. "S-Sorry about that. I kinda lost control of my actions." Sungmin explained. "It's fine. At least you didn't rape me or anything, haha." She said the last word in sarcasm. Sungmin tilted his head. "Has that ever happened to you?" Sunjung looked down.
"When I was in America, I was around 14 and was walking home late at night since I had to go to a student council meeting. There was this drunken American older man… and he said I was very pretty… Then…" Tears went down her face. Sungmin's eyes widened and hugged her tightly. "I won't let that happen again… I promise…"

Sunjung's fever went worse. Her head had searing pain, and she had to go to the hospital. Sungmin held onto the pink stuffed bunny, that he won for her at a festival a month ago, nervously as he trembled in fear. It's just a fever that got worse. He shouldn't be worrying about it. A young female doctor went out into the waiting room as Sungmin rushed over to her. "Excuse me noona… is my girlfriend okay?"
"… Sunjung sshi has a brain tumor. It's very serious since it went to the left side of her cerebellum. So her memory skill seems to be lowering its ability."
Sungmin's eyes widened as he fell on his knees. "Y-You're kidding, right?" The doctor shook her head."We'll have to do surgery on her. We ask permission of you since you are close to her." He nodded his head vigorously. "Please! Help my Sunjung… I'll pay for the surgery…" Tears went down his face. "Please…"
A few hours passed. During those hours, the other members ditched their schedules and supported Sungmin by waiting with him. They held candy and flowers. Sungmin had a box with a locket inside it in his hand that Leeteuk bought for Sungmin to give to Sunjung. It seemed like an eternity until a different doctor came out. All the members stood up to face the doctor.
"She's fine… But it's a possibility she'll get into a coma. The surgery went through fine, but she'll succumb into a coma afterwards. We don't know when she'll awake. Possibly a year." Sungmin fell down to his knees again. The doctor left.
Soon Super Junior's manager arrived. "We're going on a tour. This time, around the world. Your third album was a hit, and this time, it should be your fourth. After the recordings, we'll perform on Music Bank and then go on the tour."
"How long's the tour?" Sungmin asked. "A year." He replied. Sungmin looked at the manager sadly, and looked back at Sunjung's room. "We better get going. The songwriters need to go over the lyrics with us." The manager said. Sungmin nodded in response. He went into Sunjung's room. She softly slept as he took her hand, kissing it. Sungmin left the locket beside her along with a note.
"Don't worry, Sunjunnie ah. Once I come back, I'll have become a man for you." Sungmin nodded, a tear going down his cheek. He slowly left.
