Sammury: He wasn't allowed to schold him, not him
A/N: sorry for posting last night, I had another test today
It was too cold outside, jaejoong sighed and looked at the papers on his desk. The meeting should be over soon and it would be lunch break, thank god.
The double doors opened and Ji Yong walked out yelling something over the phone and telling someone, yoochun for sure, to get his butt back into the office and sign the papers he wants
'Jae' Ji Yong sighed at him ' I need you to take those to yoochun's home to sign them. It looks like he's snuggling with his boy and won't be able to make it, too busy!' Ji Yong hissed angrily. Actually, he was jealous at yoochun being with his lover when his own man was away for a game and won't be back until a couple of days later.
'Oh, okay… I'll be going right away' jaejoong looked at the papers Ji Yong handed him and placed them in a neat, red folder before grabbing his jacket
He heard a thank you being yelled at him as he rushed out of the office and to the lifts. He smiled, taking out his mobile he made a call and his grin only grew wider by the time he hung up.
He didn't have to wait in the cold for long, five minutes later he was in the car sipping some hot coffee and smiling at the man behind the wheel
'You could have sent the driver, or I could have taken the bus. You didn't need to…' he began, although deep inside he was so happy that he came first, before business or anything else
'Nonsense, no one would be driving you around but me. Besides, I am your fiancé'
Jaejoong grinned at the word, it was all still so new to him, but yunho had proposed to him last week, and he had agreed. Now, two years after they had resumed their relationship, two years after meeting again for the first time, everything was going on amazingly between them
As the car came to stop by a red light yunho lent in and stole a tender kiss from jaejoong's lips tasting the coffee in them, he grinned and went on speaking:' you know, I can't believe life turned out to be so perfect for me, having you with me is the best thing ever'
Jaejoong blushed a little, but didn't speak; his insides were melting into one big, warm puddle of love for the man, he just reached out and relaxed his head on his man's shoulder, his eyes drifted to the pretty bond ring on his finger and grinned. Everything was so perfect indeed.
He should have known better, every time anyone says life is too good, or something like the troubles are finally over, or whatever it was something bad happens, it was so classical and so cliché. But it did happen
Jaejoong's mobile rang and when he answered a frown replaced the happy grin on his face, he had retreated his head from on yunho's shoulder and sat up straight, a dark, gloomy look on his face as he spoke over the phone
'Who was it?' yunho asked when his lover hung up, he didn't like the change of mood
'Kibum was in trouble at school' jaejoong frowned
Yunho blinked. Kibum, finally seventeen years old was hanging up with a new bunch of friends lately, a bunch of friends that jaejoong didn't like and couldn't stand. Not that changmin did stand, as well. But the boy wouldn't change his mind; they were his friends, as he kept repeating to everyone.
'What happened?'
'He got into a fight with one of…of those…' jaejoong refrained from saying anything like mother-fuckers, men-whores, sluts, jerks, bastards, low-lives, devil's-spawns, home-wreckers, thieves, alcoholics, drug-addicted, revolting pieces of shit. No, he just bit his tongue and kept it inside
He had actually met them once; he hated them the second he laid his eyes on them. It was as if they had this huge neon warning sign above them saying danger or something, and he knew they won't be good for kibum. He tried to talk to kibum about it, but kibum kept accusing him of judging a book by its cover and not even bothering to get to know them. They never spoke about the subject again and still, it seemed as if tonight, they will have to.
'Come on, we will talk to him together, even changmin will talk to him' yunho reached to hold jaejoong's hand and give it a gentle, assuring squeeze as he kept on driving
'Yes, but there is something going on between them' jaejoong frowned
'Like what?' yunho blinked. It didn't look like there was anything wrong between si cousin and future brother in law.
'Kibum's seventeenth birthday was a week ago, and yet they still… they didn't… you know… 'Blushed jaejoong
'Why, why Kim jaejoong, you actually want your baby brother to have sex with my cousin, huh?' yunho chuckled amused, even when jaejoong slapped him on the shoulder playfully, it was so worth it
'You know I would never want it. But the fact that they still didn't do it, it's strange. Changmin was after kibum all along, always saying that once kibum turns seventeen nothing and no one will be stopping them, so what happened now?'
'I think changmin wants to wait till Christmas or something' yunho shrugged, ' maybe he wants to make it special or whatever'
'Well, he better take care of my baby brother or I'll…'
'We'll kill him for messing up with my future brother in law' yunho cut him off with a chuckle and jaejoong nodded, a serious frown on his face
The rest of the drive was silent until they reached the huge mansion. Yunho parked the car and got out; when they reached the front door he stood and smiled at jaejoong. Jaejoong knew exactly why, he reached his hand into his pocket, and while blushing he pulled out the silver key and unlocked the door with it
Grinning idiotically to himself, not so out of character though, yunho pulled his fiancé inside and into the living room
'Yun, jae, welcome' Park Eun Hee smiled at the two of them
'Hello aunt' jaejoong smiled gently, yunho's mother was really a nice woman. She was so sweet to him and always treated him like a son
'Is yoochun shi here?' he asked gently
'In the backyard with everyone else, we're having a barbeque. Junsu wanted it and no one found the heart to tell him no' she chuckled ' come and join us'
'Come on' yunho pulled him into the backyard, everyone was seated to the table and yoochun was taking over the grill
'Oh, you're here. All yours' yoochun grinned the second he saw him ' I might be a lot f things, but I'm not a barbeque master'
Yunho rolled his eyes
'Yoochun shi, those are for you' jaejoong handed in the files and yoochun nodded ' sit down for lunch, work can wait. Su wants grilled meat for lunch, a home barbequed grilled meat. So we brought all the heaters and here we go' he shook his head but still smiled
Lunch went by quickly; they had a lot of fun and enjoyed themselves. Jaejoong couldn't cease to wonder how the all scary, intimidating monster yoochun was at work became this tamed kitten when around junsu. It was rather amusing actually
'Come on, let's go inside, we can have some coffee and play some chess or something' Park Young Woon smiled
'Oh thank you, but I need to go; I need to talk to my baby brother. Yoochun shi, if you just please, just tell Ji Yong shi that I handed in the papers before I left home' Jaejoong smiled and bowing to everyone he allowed yunho to steal one last kiss from him in front of everyone before they walked out of the garden and out of the house, leaving.

When he reached home kibum didn't expect to find a furious jaejoong waiting for him in the living room. He didn't expect the headmaster to call him and tell him everything that happened.
'Sit down!' jaejoong had hissed at him the second he entered the living room ' I had a call from your school today. Explain yourself'
'I…' he frowned ' they pissed me off! There was nothing I could do about it, I couldn't control it!' kibum frowned
'SO YOU GET INTO A FIST FIGHT WITH ANOTHER STUDENT?' jaejoong yelled angrily, this wasn't the brother he knew, this was what those… bastards turned him to be
'I was angry' he repeated tiredly, it wasn't such a big deal
'And skipping school yesterday?' he cracked an eyebrow at him
'I… It was just once' kibum tried exasperating, he couldn't believe jaejoong was treating him like a bloody baby, not when he was seventeen already.
'You're grounded till the end of the month. No going out, no computer, no TV and certainly no friends'
'That's so not fair!' kibum yelled and rushed to his bedroom, slamming the door behind him
Shaking his head jaejoong took out his mobile and dialed another familiar number, if anyone could deal with kibum now, it would be him,
►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄
It wasn't long before kibum heard a soft knocking sound on his bedroom's door. He recognized those knocks. He couldn't jump out of bed soon enough to open the door as he grinned widely, seeing his lover in front of him. The smile, however, evaporated the second he saw the frown on the elder man's face
'He told you' he hissed, gloomily
Entering the bedroom and closing the door changmin looked at the boy, this wasn’t going to be easy but he had to do it, the boy needed to get away from the jerks at any cost
'Sit down' he spoke with a deadly serious voice
Kibum sat down on the edge of the bed
'You got into a fist fight at school and you so decided to skip school entirely yesterday. What's going on?'
'Nothing, my friends and I wanted to study for the upcoming test. We went…' he was cut off
'Don't you dare lie to me Kim Kibum, or else I'll walk out of this door and you'll never see me ever again. Got it?'
Kibum nodded, a flush on his cheeks now
'Why did you hit your so called friend?'
'He wanted to give me s smoke, I didn't want to' kibum whispered
'A smoke…?' changmin hissed, enraged ' they wanted to give you a marijuana cigarette, didn't they?'
Kibum didn't answer at once. He paused to thing before answering ' I didn't take it, they won't offer it to me again. It's over' he shrugged it off
'It is most certainty not over! I don't want you hanging out with those jerks anymore, you hear me? I don't want you anywhere near them and I don't want to hear that you skipped classes or got into another fight, ever again' changmin hissed, the anger in his tone was scary
Kibum nodded once, he was getting angry now himself
'And you're grounded for two months' changmin hissed
'WHAT? YOU'RE NOT MY PARENT! YOU CAN'T GROUND ME! AND JAE HYUNG ALREADY DID. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COME HERE AND GROUND ME LIKE YOU PLEASE…'
'I will ground you when you're acting like a child! Since you befriended those jerks you were off limits, you didn't do anything good. I'm growing tired of this whole thing!'
Tears twinkled in kibum's eyes. Hot and angry, the tears just broke free and soon they were tainting all his pretty face
'You're leaving me?' he crocked. 'No, I'm not. But don't think I won't if you kept on behaving like this!'
'You grounded me, it's not fair, you can't do this' kibum sniffed again
'Yes I can and I did. Now, we will have some limits set. Get a toe out of line once again, and I'll be punishing you much, much worse, got it?
Kibum only nodded. Right now he couldn't help but feel like a complete idiot while being scolded by his lover.
'Do you understand me?'
Kibum nodded
'Are you going to get close to those jerks, ever again?'
Kibum shook his head, wiping a signal tear from his cheek as he looked at his knees
Changmin sighed and shook his head. He reached the bed and knelt down in front of kibum, smiling weakly at him and reached his hand to lift kibum's chin and force him to look at them
'Listen to me, bummie. I love you, I want the best for you and so does your hyung, okay baby?'
Kibum nodded gently. As changmin reached to hold his hand, he smiled a little bit wider
'I know we sound harsh on you, baby. But, we're all worried. Hitting students, skipping school and all that shit, it's not you love. Since you started hanging out with those boys you chanced so much that we can't recognize you anymore. We can't our bummie back, okay?'
Kibum nodded again. He jumped forward and landed in changmin's awaiting hands, he hugged the elder boy tightly and felt himself relax as changmin began to draw circles on his back gently, it was soothing actually. It calmed his heart, which was about to explode any second at the idea of his lover breaking up with him
'I love you, you idiot' changmin chuckled guessing what the younger had been thinking about
'I love you too' he heard the muffled sound and he chuckled
