__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yoochun stood by the lake shore, his eyes staring straight ahead as the moonlight casts its illuminating glow towards the lake, creating a perfect reflection of it self below. Winter is already at its peak in Clintwood and spring would be coming soon. The night was chilly, cold in fact. Yoochun had grown accustomed to the cold, sometimes he even prefers the cold because it had been silently reflecting his feelings for the past four years.

The numbing cold was his sanctuary.

Yoochun smiled at the memory of Junsu frowning at the temperature of his room. Junsu hated the cold and hated winter, and the younger adores summer. Yoochun could remember how happy Junsu was just talking about bright colored flower fields, warm sunny sun and soccer games.

Its been four years, and as time past the memories behind his head had only grew clearer and more taunting. Nothing he do now would change the future, because Junsu would be getting married. Part of him as always was selfish and hurt but it was the part of him that loves and care for Junsu that would triumph. Seeing Junsu again after four years was like breathing again for Yoochun.

He missed Junsu, and every core of his weak existence had been spent just to wait for this day. The day when he’ll meet the younger again. The announcement wasn’t surprising, he knew Mr. Kim wouldn’t have invited him if it was just really Junsu’s birthday. Yoochun was and is nothing; from the day his family had died until today. Everything he loves and care for would just be taken away from him.

He let out another sigh as he continued gazing into the moon.

“Chunnie…” he heard a very familiar voice calling out to his name. Its been six months since he last heard that voice. He smiled softly.

Yoochun turned around to the source of the voice and smiled at his former band mates who were walking towards him. They were still wearing their formal outfits, a sign that they left the party early to find him. His heart soften knowing that the band had cared for him so much.

“Hyung! I miss you so much!” the youngest of the band pulled Yoochun in for a bear hug. He noticed that Changmin had grew taller, his lanky form had also grew; morphing into buns of steel and his handsome face etched maturity.

“I miss you too Minnie-ah”

“What about me?” Yoochun gently released Changmin’s tight hold on him and turn to look at the pouting Jaejoong. He chuckled at the sight of his best friend’s silly expression.

“You guys too. How’s your record coming?” he hugged the couple tightly.

“We just hit our second platinum and top the daily charts for a week. Management was thrilled, gave us a month break. We’re scheduled for a tour after that”

Yoochun nodded “that’s great guys. Congratulations”

“Would have been better if you joined us in the first place” Jaejoong mutters in annoyance; he’s still mad at the turn of events that happened tonight.

Yoochun chuckled as he shoved his pianist hands into his pants pocket to keep warm “nah,  I don’t like the fame, or the attention”

“Chunnie-ah” the band knew the reason Yoochun rejected the offer; it was because of Junsu.

The time they have to leave for training was hard, Jaejoong had tried so hard to brainwash Yoochun into coming with them; there were the sweet talks, the begging, kidnapping and the long list goes on; Jaejoong‘s mind is creative for a reason. Yoochun had then finally came clean with them; he had wanted to stay in Clintwood to wait for Junsu’s return.

If he had leave then for training, he was afraid that Junsu would come home and he would missed the chance of seeing him. The others thought it was just a way to punish himself. Yoochun’s a talented composer and singer, he would have made it big. Yoochun would have break free from his shell and would be living a better life. The lonely and dejected life that he and Jaejoong had grew up in. But Yoochun had let everything go; all because of Kim Junsu.

Junsu is going to get married soon, the band were speechless and for the first time, confused. They were afraid of saying the wrong thing and would hurt Yoochun even more. These four years had been nothing but pain, loneliness and torture for the composer. He had excluded himself from everybody and had lived his life in perfect solitude. But over the years, he had mastered the art of acting and putting up a false front in front of the band. Its when he’s alone, he would tear by himself.

“Don’t worry guys. Its what I expected anyway, you saw him tonight” Yoochun shook his head and forced out a smile “he looks amazing. He’d grown so much”

“If he had stayed instead, he would have been like me. A failure”

Jaejoong could not hold his tears in anymore and reaches to Yoochun for another hug. “You idiot. You fucking idiot. You don’t deserve this shit”

“hey” the composer rubbed Jaejoong’s back soothingly to comfort him “its worth everything. Junsu’s worth everything”

The two best friend stayed in their embrace as Yunho and Changmin joined in for a group hug; enjoying each other’s warmth in the cold winter night.

“Now who’s up to Liquid for some booze?” Changmin asked excitedly breaking away very piece of tension and sadness in the atmosphere.

“Changmin-ah, you practically ate almost everything at the buffet table tonight. Are you sure you want to get drunk?” the leader’s voice was laced with concern.

“I hate to be there when he throws up” Jaejoong teased causing Yoochun to chuckle. At least with the band around, he would be distracted. Thinking about the past was just too painful.

Yunho had his shoulder around the pouting Changmin as the elder guided them out of the park following Yoochun and Jaejoong‘s lead; the two had seem to be in a deep conversation. Its been a while since the band last saw each other, and tonight was the best night Yoochun has had in months.

************************************************************************************************************

“Minnie-ah, I don’t think I need another bodyguard. Yunho’s ones were already a pain in the ass” the composer teased Changmin as the latter continued following him around. Yoochun’s day had started well, after a night of drinking till the wee hours for the band. He must have drank too much and the trip of getting home had seemed vague to him. Only waking up in bed the next morning in his room. After a good washing up, he headed to the workshop to begin his day.

Changmin had visited him a few hours before lunch whining about hunger and breakfast resulting in the elder sparing his lunch sandwich for the younger; which Changmin took greedily without any guilt or resentment whatsoever. The hunger satisfied Changmin wouldn’t leave him alone even after that, occasionally chattering away about his life in New Haven and at random things which automatically made Yoochun smile. When lunch break had came; the ex-drummer dragged Yoochun for lunch at his favorite restaurant in town. They had decided to walk back to the workshop, enjoying the chilly winter as the  bright sunlight beats down giving warmth at the same time. That was one thing that they town had pride about; the comfortable fit of the contrast in the weather.

Just like Junsu and Yoochun.

Yoochun sighed; every little thing of everything would remind him of Junsu. He felt in dire need of a smoke and his supply running short in the box he fished from his pocket. His addiction had returned shortly after Junsu had left. Sometimes they were so strong, he would end up smoking one whole pack in a day, even two if he gets really agitated. He didn’t mind the damage those cancer sticks would do to his body cells. He just wanted something that could  accelerate his death.

And thus, they were now in the town’s only grocery store; or the mini supermarket. Jaejoong would be the only one who would deem this store as small and the range of products were not up to his expectation. The lead singer would often drive to the neighboring town’s larger and much efficient supermarket just to satisfy his need of shopping crazily.

“The fact that I’m tall and strong doesn’t mean I’m your bodyguard hyung” Changmin complained as they continued strolling down the alcohol section. Besides smoking, he had also salvaged in alcohol to keep himself sane during lonely nights.

“besides, they only meant well. You know how the gang had been treating you like their leader ever since Yunho and Jaejoong left. They like you”

Yoochun scoffed as he made a grab for the dozen beer pack and into the trolley “but they got to know I’m not Yunho, and running an organization is like raising a puppy. And I already have that experience. Not something I want to repeat soon”

Changmin laughed “but you’ll grow attached to those eyes, the cute whine, wagging tail and before you know it, they’ll be part of you”

“Changmin ah, you have been hanging out with Jaejoong too much lately. I swear” that comment could only send Changmin into more laughter as he clapped his hand in habit.

“Speaking of puppy. I need to get my baby some food. He’s getting good with the puppy eyes lately” the two continued strolling the around the other side of the supermarket while Changmin made grab for his snacks and sweets here and there.

“You sure about taking the whole box hyung? You could die” Yoochun chuckled at Changmin’s bluntness. That’s what he had learn to love Changmin for anyway, the boy was so honest with his words. Regardless of one else’s feelings.

“yup” they were now at the tobacco counter and Yoochun picking his usual cigarettes while Changmin waited obediently with the trolley in his hold. He had decided to give the nearby section a clean sweep with his eyes to see if he had left out on any snacks and had immediately frozen at the unexpected sight greeting his vision.

Junsu was holding on to the shopping basket while the petite girl from the party which the whole town had came to recognize as his fiancé stood beside him. Changmin didn’t know if he should run or hide or pretend to be oblivious but it was too late when Junsu’s had caught sight of him; both sharing eye contact.

Junsu’s expression had went from shock to recognition at Changmin and grew blank, expressionless and cold as the former guitarist turn to look at Yoochun who was already done with his cigarettes and was already walking to Changmin.

The ex-drummer studied his former band mates’ carefully while he crouched his whole upper body towards the trolley trying to avoid the tension and awkwardness between the two former lovers as they shared eye contact.

Yoochun had gaze longingly into the Junsu’s eyes; his hand still on the box of cigarette as his face toned into a serious and a tired but sincere smile had formed on his lips. Junsu on the other hand had better control of his feelings and without bothering to acknowledge the latter’s presence, had turned to walk away.

Taeyeon had only managed to smiled politely to the two before Junsu had his arms draped over her shoulders and ushered to another aisle.

Yoochun watched on as the couple continued strolling, undisturbed by the meeting earlier. He had to force another smile to their backs. This was the first time he had seen Junsu’s fiancé up close. They were perfect together; Taeyeon is everything Yoochun’s not. Even after time and time of convincing himself, the pain in his heart would not go away.

He decided that he needed more than a box of cigarettes, so he went for another instead.

Changmin watched them quietly; like a professor observing their specimens. He wondered if the person he had met today really was Junsu, there was no doubt about it; appearance wise. But its like the latter had completely changed, Changmin could tell Junsu’s eyes were filled with anger, disappointment and hurt. And was masked with a good face display. The ex-guitarist had grown taller too, his hair grown and cut into a much more matured style, the tone body was evident under his blazer, his cute innocent face was replaced with more charismatic features.

Changmin wonders if Junsu had noticed Yoochun’s incredibly sexy stubbles and unkept hair, it was just result of Yoochun’s for years of grieving and composing. Then there was the way his jeans hung loosely and dangerously low around his hips. He had then cursed silently at the influence from the couples in his former band for corrupting his mind.

He was also thankful that he had tagged along with Yoochun today. He grinned sheepishly thinking about the food, hugs and kisses Jaejoong was going to sent him after hearing his story in detail. Okay, maybe not the hugs and kisses, but definitely the food. And a lot of pampering.

************************************************************************************************************

“Are you sure Minnie?” the were in Changmin’s parents house and currently invading the space of the living room. Yoochun was at work, leaving them the perfect opportunity to discuss about the previous day incident.

Changmin nodded enthusiastically.

“hundred percent positive?” the leader asked in conformation on behalf of his lover.

Another nod in return.

“Aish, he still hates Yoochun even after so long. Its all his father’s fault, I swear I’m gonna kill the fucking hell out of him” Jaejoong cursed in fury.

Yunho hugged his cutely infuriated lover in hopes of comforting him “Joongie-ah, its been four years. Nothing we do could change the fact”

Jaejoong sighed in defeat “Junsu’s needs to know the truth. And Yoochun, I can’t bear to see all the false accusation thrown into his direction. It makes me sick”

The couple sighed in remembrance of the night they had came back. After rounds and rounds of shots and Yoochun had finally passed out from the alcohol, they had carried him back to his bedroom. Only to be startled the collection of pictures, photographs, sketches and drawings of Junsu still hanging strongly and proudly on his wall. Lyrics found in the music sheets lying all over his bedroom floor were of regret and guilt. Jaejoong had cried in anger at Yoochun’s unfair life.

He was still living his life working in the workshop, playing in Liquid and composing silently for years. While Junsu had gotten richer, smarter and is getting married soon. There were shocked when Yoochun had announced he would wait forever. The love and loyalty Yoochun had for Junsu could be compared with mountains, the sky and even the ocean.

Yunho kissed Jaejoong’s nose tenderly “but Yoochun made us promised not to meddle”

“I know Yunnie, but I had promised not to meddle, and that fact had caused my best friend to hurt for years. I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes again. We have to help him, I owe him so much. He’s like my brother”

Yunho nodded in agreement as the truth of Jaejoong’s words seeped into his mind “you’re right. Junsu has the right to know the truth anyway”

“Minnie, do you think you can talk to Junsu for us. We need to set up an appointment” the eldest of the band asked.

Changmin smirked “I don’t think I can directly but I know someone who can”

“But its gonna cost you extra”

“I be your personal cook even, if Yoochun and Junsu gets back together”

“hey, Joongie’s my cook!”

“Too bad then hyung. You have to share”

Yunho scowled. Jaejoong laughed.

“Minnie-ah, I think your brain is really in your stomach. Or your brain is part of your stomach”
