Jaejoong sat behind his desk, a frown on his face; he looked through the papers not taking in any word. He was too angry, too worried and too afraid to focus on anything not kibum related right now
'Jae!!'
Startled, jaejoong jumped up in his chair as an angry Kwon Ji Yong stood in front of him, a huge frown on his face
'Sorry, I zoned out for a second'
'A second…?' Ji Yong looked raged ' I had been standing here and talking for half a fuckin hour and you won't even respond to me!'
'Sorry…' jaejoong wound drained
'Is everything alright?' Ji Yong sighed and sat down; jaejoong took it a cue to sit down as well and sat in his chair, looking at the papers in front of him
'Did something happen with your man?'
Ji Yong knew the man was going out with someone, he was so cheerful and happy lately and he always went missing at lunch breaks and he always was in a hurry to finish and leave. It was easy to know he was in love wave
Jaejoong shook his head slightly and sighed, maybe a second opinion could help him
'My baby brother…he's fifteen… he's…he's involved with a man fourteen years older than him damn it! I found out about the relationship and now he won't talk to me because I opposed it, I just…'
'I see' Ji Yong sighed
'It's not right…he's just a baby, he's…'
'Just because he's fifteen doesn't mean he's too young to love and being loved, you should know this'
'I know, I really do…it's just…'
'The fact that the man is twenty nine…right?'
Jaejoong nodded
'Did you talk to him; did you try to get to know him? Let me tell you, age is nothing. Maybe it would be better than he's older. He will be able to guide him and help him, he'll be mature enough to understand things and take care of him…'
'But…'
'Try it, if your brother is really in love with him, will you rather lose him because you forbid him to be with his lover or gain a friend and an ally. Remember, teenage years could be scary and anything could happen. A kid at school could offer him drugs, he might go screw a whore and get her pregnant, he might decide to go bold and get piercing and tattoos in strange places, or it might be worse and he might decide it's too much for him to take and decides to put an end to…'
'NO! BUMIE WILL NEVER DO THIS!! HE CAN'T…HE…I…' jaejoong shivered with horror. Kibum won't do that, would he?
'How do you know? You're pushing him to his limits; you're taking him from his lover. How do you know how he'll react? He's hurt, he's weak, and if the temptation became too much…'
'Stop… please. Just stop…' jaejoong had his head in his hands now, he dreaded this idea Ji Yong planted in his mind now
'Think about it' Ji Yong smiled weakly, took his papers and left to his office. He had of things to do since yoochun was once again indispensable at the minute

Jaejoong finished his work at five in the evening and rushed home at once. He didn't even think of anything but his baby brother. He was so worried
Checking every room in the house kibum wasn't there. He sat in the living room waiting; dinner was ready on the table, although he doubted his brother would eat with him
It was ten in the evening when the door opened and kibum walked in. He didn't even look at him; he made a beeline to his bedroom and entered. Jaejoong had done one thing beside cooking and worrying himself sick at the boy. He had taken the lock of kibum's door away. Now the boy couldn't lock his door. He was too scared to allow his brother to be alone, locked in his bedroom when in such a mood
Five minutes passed. Jaejoong couldn't hear any sound from the bedroom. He got worried; kibum wouldn't be this quiet normally. He stood up and rushed to the door, opening it and glancing inside.
Kibum was in the middle of changing his clothes; he had his shirt off and was reaching for his pajama top when the door opened. He didn't care. He proceeded as if there was nothing wrong with him, as if everything was normal. He chose to ignore the look on his hyung's face upon seeing his back
Jaejoong didn't think he was able to talk now; looking at kibum's bare back was a shock for him, a huge one as well. Kibum was always a sweet boy; he never got himself into troubles. He never had fights with anyone. But, now there was this huge bruise on his back. A bruise which looked new and was angry purple now, it must hurt him badly, jaejoong thought, and yet he wasn't going to tell him about it
'How…' jaejoong finally found his voice ' how did you get this?' he pointed at the purple bruise on his brother's back
Kibum didn't answer. He finished changing and went to his desk, opened his school bag and pulled out a notebook. He decided to do his homework and ignore his hyung, yet again.
'KIM KIBUM ANSWER ME DAMN IT! HOW DID YOU GET THAT BRUISE ON YOUR BACK?'
No one answered him. Kibum didn't look at him, he didn't speak. He didn't even blink. It was like as if jaejoong didn't exist, he wasn't there!
Jaejoong closed his eyes, holding back his tears. He didn't know what to do now; it had been almost a week now. Five days to be exactly. The silent treatment was still in full force and it didn't look like it was ending any time soon.

Yunho sat in front of his father, uncle and mother. He was nervous as he never was before. This was too hard, he wondered how it was for yoochun to sit in his place and face everyone announcing he's going to stay with junsu no matter what they think. He wished he had the same iron nerves as his brother. But, he didn't. He was sweating so badly right now
'So' his father began and he tensed up
'We were dealing with changmin for the past five days. But, that doesn't mean we forgot yoochun's announcement about you. Care to clear things up?'
He swallowed and looked at everyone:' well… I'm… I'm gay…' he began ' but not really… I… I liked girls before… but then I saw him and…for a year I tried to deny it… I went out with other girls… I slept with them… I tried to forget about him… I couldn't…he's…he's different…I…'
Everyone was eyeing him; he couldn't speak a whole sentence without stuttering
'Go on, son' his mother encouraged gently
'I asked him out… a year after… I thought I would like to… to give things a chance… we decided to keep it a secret… I… I was…I am afraid of your reaction… giving yoochun's issue with junsu…and…err… then he came here… on work… and he heard me say he's a friend…he got hurt and decided to ignore me as he went on a business trip…' yunho took a deep breath and went on
'I couldn't bear it without him… I don't… I can't go on without him…he's everything to me…'
'I see' his father sighed
'I'm sorry if I disappoint you, I can't control whom I fall in love with, it's just…' yunho whispered softly, head bent low
'I'm not asking you for such a thing. I know that very well' his father sighed ' and we're not against it or anything…'
'But, isn't there anyone straight between you?' his uncle asked, sadly
'What about grandchildren?' his mother whined, she actually whined. Wait till yoochun hears this, yunho thought to himself
'Err… we can adopt?'
His father sighed and shook his head:' and do you intend to bring him to meet us, in a formal way I mean, or are you planning to keep it a secret?'
'Will you accept him to the family?' yunho asked, hope twinkling in his voice
'Well, if he managed to tame you and if he makes you happy…' his mother began
'As I said, we've got nothing against the idea. He's not a blood related family member, thank god if I may add' his father sighed in relief ' but' he added at once 'we will run a background check on him, just to be sure. If he comes out clean, he's welcome into the house. Into the family… we'll decided after meeting him formally'
Yunho nodded his head, a grin on his face. This was perfect. This was going to work out for sure!
'Now we're only left with changmin' his uncle sighed
'This family is messed up, I tell you. One falls for his damn cousin. The other falls for a man who works for his brother. The third falls for an underage kid, who happens to be the younger brother of the man his cousin is dating, which works for his cousin' Park Jung Soo spoke with sarcastic tone ' I need a drink'
'Make it three, honey' his wife whispered and his brother nodded
'I'll make them four' yunho sighed and stood up, preparing the drinks for everyone
'So,' his mother smiled ' got any news from junsu and yoochun today?' she asked softly
'He called in the morning. Yoochun seems too busy today. He sounded a little worried, but he said he'll call in the evening and kept assuring me that everything is fine and that he's having too much fun with his chunie and that he's spoiling him with anything he wants' Park Young Woon sighed and sipped from the drink yunho handed him. Junsu's tone over the phone wasn't right, he knew it. Something wasn't right…
