Just then…
“Calling for all passengers flying on Korean Air flight KE 2707 to Tokyo-Haneda, boarding will commence soon. All Business Class passengers are kindly invited to board the aircraft followed by passengers with special needs and families with children. Economy class passengers will board according to rows.” announced the airport staff.
“Time to board now, Jaejoongie,” reminded Yunho with a disappointed face. Jaejoong could only sigh heavily.
The 2 hour flight across the Sea of Japan went on smoothly. Jaejoong was so lost in thoughts that during the entire flight, he was in a trance and it was rather awkward for Jaejoong to entertain Yunho’s ideas and suggestions on what to do while in Japan. He wondered if Yunho was a little bit too upfront to his liking.
After landing at Tokyo-Haneda Airport, Yunho and Jaejoong were quickly ushered into a waiting car that sped down the highway to Yunho’s family home in a quiet neighbourhood. The house was simple and unpretentious yet tastefully furnished. Mr and Mrs Jung were at home on that day to welcome Yunho and his friend, Jaejoong.
“Umma, Pa, this is my friend, Kim Jaejoong.”
“Annyeonghaseyo, Mr Jung, Mrs Jung.”
“Welcome to Tokyo, Jaejoong. It is a pleasure to welcome you to our home. How was the flight?” welcomed Mrs Jung.
“It went well, Mrs Jung.”
“Jaejoong, make yourself comfortable here, treat it as if it’s your home. Unfortunately, we have a bit of a problem with one of the rooms.”
“Oh yes! I’ve completely forgotten about it! Jaejoong, if you don’t mind, is it alright if you share the room with Yunho because our only guest room is having wiring problems and it’s in the process of being repaired. Not to worry about the bed because Yunho’s bed is rather large so there’s no worries about him rolling onto you or whatever.
Alternatively, we can put you in a hotel or a nearby inn, if you don’t feel comfortable about the arrangement.”
“It’s OK. I’ll stay in Yunho’s room.”
“Mrs Jung will lead you to the room and there’s a separate walk-in closet with an extra wardrobe so you can hang your clothes over there.”
“Thank you, Mr Jung.”
“No worries, son.”
Yunho grinned at Jaejoong’s meek acceptance and mouthed a ‘Thank You’ to his father for lying on his behalf while Mr Jung mouthed a ‘You owe me an explanation’.
After a short rest, Yunho took Jaejoong out to visit various places in Tokyo. Jaejoong, an avid photographer, took lots of pictures in and around Tokyo. They had a simple dinner outside and Yunho broached the question that remained unanswered but Jaejoong pretended not to hear his question.
“How much longer am I going to avoid this?” wondered Jaejoong. Yunho was annoyed that Jaejoong did not hear the question or pretended not to hear his question but nonetheless, he vowed not to stop asking until he got what he wanted.
After a tiring evening, both Yunho and Jaejoong retired to their shared room. Barely moments after Jaejoong closed the door, Yunho kissed Jaejoong on the lips. Jaejoong was stunned yet did not resist Yunho’s advance.
Before Yunho broke the kiss, Jaejoong reacted to Yunho’s kiss with even greater passion, only to break the kiss when they were bordering on suffocation. Both of them smiled at each other before continuing the kiss, this time on the bed, stripped-down naked. Sex wasn’t on their mind just yet and they began to bite each other’s necks.
“You have a beautiful body, Jaejoongie.” complimented Yunho.
“I find you cuddly when you’re naked, Yunnie.”
“So, will you be my boyfriend from now on?”
“Not so soon.” giggled Jaejoong.
Soon, Yunho went to dreamland. He dreamt of growing old with Jaejoong while Jaejoong remained awake, wondering if he should say ‘yes’ to Yunho. He was torn between saying ‘Yes’ and ‘No’. He didn’t want to look or appear too ‘easy’ and ‘cheap’ in Yunho’s eyes. Yet he wouldn’t want to lose Yunho just like that either.
The rest of their time in Japan was spent together doing various activities including soaking themselves in an onsen until the day they had to return to Seoul. Mrs Jung was upset that Jaejoong had to leave for she had grown fond of him.
“I wish you two a safe trip back to Korea.”
“Thank you, Mr Jung. Thank you, Mrs Jung.”
“We will still keep in touch with each other and if you are to ask me, Mrs Jung and I approve Yunho marrying you should that ever happen.”
“Erm…” muttered Jaejoong.
“Don’t worry. Yunho isn’t aggressive but he can be aggressive when he wants to.” joked Mr Jung.
“This is the final call for passengers on board Korean Air Flight KE 2708 to Seoul-Gimpo. All passengers are kindly requested to board the plane now. Thank you.”
“That’s the final call for your flight boys. Better board the plane now. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
The two of them went into the immigration counter, got their passports stamped and made their way to the plane. Since it was the last flight of the day, they slept during the flight and after arrival, made their way out to home. Yunho dropped Jaejoong outside his house and pecked his cheeks. The love bite Yunho made on Jaejoong’s neck was still visible.
Jaejoong pondered over what they did in Japan. It is true that he loves or at the very least, likes Yunho but why is he playing hardball with him? Is it because he was afraid of being in a relationship? What was he afraid of? The truth was far more complicated than what he wanted or willing to admit.
FLASHBACK
Two years ago, he fell in love and had a relationship with another guy, Park Yoochun. Yoochun was the kind of guy anyone would love to be with as he was friendly with a charming personality. But he had a sadistic streak. Never would a day pass without Jaejoong hurled with insults or abused at Yoochun’s hands. Despite the abuse he suffered, he still loved Yoochun. Changmin tried his best to keep Jaejoong away from Yoochun but Jaejoong was stubborn. In fact, Yoochun was caught several times cheating behind his back with another guy, Kim Junsu.
One day, Jaejoong visited Yoochun but before he could knock the door, he heard loud moans, passionate kissing and humping sounds. He stood there for the entire period Yoochun cheated on him before running away. What’s worse was that Yoochun reacted as if nothing had happened, which crushed Jaejoong badly.
The last straw was when in a fit of anger, Yoochun physically abused Jaejoong so badly that he had to be hospitalised and placed in the ICU for a week. Never did Yoochun bothered to pay him a visit, say sorry or even send a bouquet of flowers with a ‘I’m Sorry’ note. He left just like that, just like the wind.
END OF FLASHBACK
Tears streamed down his cheeks each time Jaejoong remembered what happened before. The scars and pain he suffered was too painful to remember and he wouldn’t want the same thing to happen should he be in a relationship with Yunho. He wanted Yunho yet wouldn’t want to be hurt like before.
Meanwhile at Yunho’s house the next day…
“Hello, morning umma!” greeted Yunho over the phone.
“Ahhh! My baby’s back in Seoul!” squealed Mrs Kim.
“Umma, I have something to say and it’s about Jaejoong.”
“Tell me. Are you going to propose to him or something?”
“How do you know that?”
“I’m your mother and mothers know best. When will the proposal be? When will the wedding be held?”
“After the final exams. I wouldn’t want my studies to be disrupted or wait any longer.”
“My Yunho’s growing impatient already eh? Don’t tell me you can’t wait to pounce onto Jaejoong so quickly!”
“Heh.”
“You have our blessings. In fact, appa and I have spoken about it last night and we approve it.”
“What do you think of him?”
“A good match. Do I have to elaborate more?”
“I can’t wait to meet him when school re-opens! For now, I want to torture him by not meeting him or answering his calls, emails and text messages until school re-opens and I mean it.”
“That’s your problem, Yunho. I don’t want to get too involved in it. When will I get to meet my future son-in-law again?”
“MUM!” wailed Yunho.
At the Kim’s residence…
“Umma?”
“Yes?”
“What do you think of Yunho based on what I’ve told you?”
“What do I think of Yunho? Do you want to hear what you want or what I have to say?”
“Hear what you have to say.”
“A good match. Really.”
“Just that?”
“Then what do you want me to say? Get married immediately? All the better!”
“But I don’t intend to entertain him. I want to torture him by not answering his calls, emails or even text messages until school reopens and I mean it.”
“That’s your problem, Jaejoong. I wouldn’t want to get too involved in it. By the way, when will I get to meet my future son-in-law? And am I looking at love bites on your neck, Jaejoong?” asked Mrs Kim.
“MUM!” wailed Jaejoong.
Neither the two of them bothered to call or send each other text messages over the remaining weeks of the school holiday. Both felt the torture of being away from each other and when school reopened, they continued to ignore each other. The torture was unbearable for Yunho while Jaejoong acted aloof and cold towards Yunho yet secretly, he was feeling the strain too. But pride above all was Jaejoong’s motto and never would he surrender just like that.
