KRIS wanted to smile when he saw Tao and Sungmin walking ahead of them. Sungmin-ssam had stopped crying and they were walking him to his next class. He didn't want to think about it but he was sure that Tao liked Sungmin more than he was letting on. They've been friends for years and he has never seen or felt like Tao was interested in women. He was a whole different story however. He chased skirts and whatever took his fancy. He wasn't a big believer in love being a real thing. Although he's had friends who claimed that they were in love, almost all of them end up getting hurt or hurting the person they were with. He wasn't going to let love confuse him. He was not going to let Tao not enjoy the perks of his youth. Maybe Sungmin can unleash that side of Tao, the side he keeps leashed. Kris has always been curious about that beast living inside of Tao. Much like Naruto's inner wolf, Kris knew an animal lived inside of Tao and if it took an innocent man to get it out, it would be amusing to see for himself.

Tao bowed and he did as well before we left Sungmin-nim in the music room. Sungmin thanked him as well. He winked at him and said, "If you need any more hugs, you have Tao's number." He almost laughed when he saw Sungmin blush at that statement.

"Hyung!" Tao didn't like being teased by anyone and figured that I was doing it again. He got tired of all the "accidental" hook-ups and group hang that I set up for him. But he doesn't always complain openly as he seems to be doing now.

"See you, ssam! Cheer up!" He put his arm around Tao and dragged him away laughing.

"LEMEGO!" Tao finally squirmed free of his hyung by the time they were out of the building. He looked back and tried to stop himself from wanting to sit in at Sungmin's class. He needed to give him time to recover from what happened at the quad. Someone who would remind him of what happened won't help him focus on work. He works too hard then if something like that has to happen for him to let his feelings out. He suddenly wondered how cold-hearted those guys must have been to have let Sungmin feel so abandoned that he would cry about it unexpectedly. He opened his phone and logged in to his Twitter account. He searched for Siwon's Twitter account and followed him. He posted a message on his feed tagging the celebrity. "I will take care of SL-nim since you guys have let him cry." He didn't even wait if someone like him would even reply to his tweet. It was unlikely that he would even bother with his angry message. He just decided that if his friends had left him high and dry then he was going to be worth all those friends who left him behind.

SIWON could feel the nerves in his temples throbbing. He was not the kind to be quickly irked but haters or antis but this particular one was different. He had to read the message again to check out what it meant. And it wasn't until he browsed the other posts he made that he saw there was a picture of Sungmin doing a wushu move. Then there was the one where he was pouting. SL-nim, huh? He had given up trying to be with Sungmin because he was so in love with Kyuhyun and now he gets called out as someone who made his Sungmin-ah cry? Who was this @zitaopanda anyway?

He had sent messages to his friends. "Who's this guy anyway?" He had included a screenshot of the tweet and the flooding of the replies and calls made him squirm. Clearly even the ones who were in the states were pissed. He decided that it would be better if they just go into a chat room instead of having to relay the info to different people.

Kangin: Who the frack is that @zitaopanda bugger anyway? And who the frack is SL?

Leeteuk: SL = Sungmin Lee

Kangin: He cried? Why? Does anyone know? *worried*

Ryeowook: I don't understand why? But there was that thing he told me about...

Yesung : Spit it out.

Kibum : I hate ellipses.

Shindong: I haven't talked to him in a while. Since...

Donghae/Eunhyuk : Since when?

Henry : EunHae doesn't know?

Zhou : Know what?

Han Geng : Yeah what?

Shindong: Why didn't he tell you guys?

EunHae: Tell us what?

Zhou and Han Geng : Stop it with the cryptic talk!

Shindong : They broke up.

EunHae: SINCE WHEN?

Shindong : After Kyuhyun graduated.

Kibum: So when I saw that IG photo of Heechul and Kyu they were...

Shindong: Already dating.

*Kyuhyun and Heechul joined the chat room*

Kyuhyun : What is this online meeting for. It's an ungodly hour over here... *,*

Heechul : Yeah...what's going on?

Siwon : This is what's up.

*Siwon reposted the tweet screenshot*

Kyuhyun : What the?

Heechul: Who is this @zitaopanda character?!

Leeteuk : I think the more urgent question is why we didn't find out that KyuMin is no more. Not even a simple head's up?

Heechul : What would you have done? Fixed it, huh, Leader? You had other things that you needed to handle.

Leeteuk : We could have talked to Sungmin and helped him out.

Kyuhyun : I thought he was okay...his posts were all.

Kangin : Filtered and fake. He told me not to let anyone know what happened. He was depressed like mad.

*Heechul left the chat room*

Yesung : Ya! YOU COWARD COME BACK HERE!

Kyuhyun : What are talking about, hyung?

Yesung : You hurt him and you had the audacity to post your picture on IG for all to see. I just checked Heechul's IG. T_T Wow, maknae. You're awesome. First Sungmin now Heechul huh?

Kyuhyun: You don't know the whole story so don't you tell me off.

Leeteuk : Enlighten us then. *sits back to read* everyone let him explain. NO REACTIONS UNTIL HE IS DONE. UNDERSTOOD? Kyu, go ahead.

Kyuhyun : I wanted to make our relationship public but he couldn't do it. I got fed up. I was going to leave for the US anyway I figured that if I let him go then I would have a better chance of being happier. Heechul hyung and I are not together. I just took that picture and captioned it like that because Min knew what I would mean. I was in such a dark place when I got here and Heechul hyung suddenly just came here and said he couldn't bear my whining over the internet and via phone that he had to kick me in the flesh to make me realize what I did wrong.

Han Geng : So you and Heechul are not.

Kyuhyun : No, not even a little bit.

Siwon : This still doesn't fix our problem. Who the frack is @zitaopanda? And what are we going to do about Sungmin?

Kangin : He doesn't answer any of my calls or messages recently. I was worried about him. Do you guys want to surprise him and visit him at Uni?

Eunhyuk/Donghae/Zhou/Han Geng: How about me? I am not in Korea!

Shindong : You might just have to fly over. I think we have to check if Sungmin is okay. Can't you take a couple of days off work and then extend that to the weekend?

Donghae : Eunhyuk already booked our tickets, China folks how about you?

Zhou : I'm in.

Han Geng: Me too.

Henry : *ugh* Canada to Korea. This should be fun. But hyung was there for me. I need to be there for him too.

*Heechul joined the chat room*

Heechul : Kyu can't make it, he has rehearsals. I am going to kick that pink prince in the shins for thinking even for a little bit that I would betray him like that. *packing weapons along with clothes*

Siwon: 0.o Uhm maybe we can handle it from here, hyung. No need for you to come over. You need to take care of Kyu too, right guys?

Heechul : Too late. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Going to get a flight now.

*Heechul left the chat room*

Yesung : Should we alert NIS?

Kibum : NIS? Why?

Yesung : Because there is a terrorist that is landing in SK in a few hours. Heechul in that mood is deadly to all in his path.

Kyuhyun : Sorry. He kicked me and told me that if I tried to stop him he would kick me in the face. He told me to tell you guys not to call or talk to Sungmin until he arrives.

Siwon : I am more worried about him now than that @zitaopanda guy and Sungmin.

Leeteuk : Just for the record, you brought this to our attention. So we need to get together at your place so we can plan out how we will talk to Sungmin.

Kyuhyun: Hyungs sorry.

Yesung : No use being sorry now. It's already happened. Do you still want to be with Sungmin?

Kyuhyun: Yes.

Yesung : Then you need to find a way to go back to him before this @zitaopanda takes your place.

Kyuhyun : NO!

Siwon: We'll help you out.
