--
Jaejoong didn’t meet with Yunho today. He knew that the man would be very anxious but he wasn’t in the mood to see him to be quite honest.
“Shoot, I must have left a page inside the music room. I’m so stupid.” He heard Junsu talk to himself. Jaejoong knew that he was talking about his new composition.
“Then just go back and get it. It’s that simple Su.” Jaejoong sighed at his childhood friend.
“Umm, right… Why didn’t I think of that? You’re so stupid Junsu. Just plain stupid.” Junsu rushed to get up from his seat. “I’ll be back Jae! See you at the usual table?” Jae nodded in reply even if he knows that Junsu didn’t catch it from his rushing.
‘It’s been a while since he moved here…’ Jaejoong thought. Junsu moved to Jaejoong’s school just a month ago due to his parents’ current business. Jaejoong didn’t mind having Junsu around since he terribly missed him. The last time they saw each other was their elementary graduation. Jaejoong frowned once he remembered moving to another house 2 days after his graduation which resulted to him moving to a new school. That’s when he met a certain Jung Yunho.
“Yah! Jaejoongie! Where’s Junsu?” His thoughts were suddenly disrupted by Shim Changmin - his snarky yet genius friend. He was a year younger than Jaejoong even if they were in the same year level. They started hanging out when they were still in middle school and to be quite honest, this was the first time they were separated from the sectioning.
“Don’t scream at me Changmin and I’m still older than you so don’t drop the hyung.” Jaejoong sighed again. He stood up from his chair and headed out of the room to go to the cafeteria. Changmin pouted and trailed behind.
--
“So hyung, you haven’t told me where Junsu is?” Changmin asked while chewing his food.
“He went to the music room to get something and please, don’t talk when your mouth is full Changmin. How many times do I have to tell you?” Jaejoong sighed for the nth time that day and Changmin couldn’t help but ask what’s wrong but then Junsu interrupted him with his loud voice while running to their table.
“JAEJOONG!!! IT’S GONE!!! OH MY GOD.” Junsu was freaking out.
“How can it be gone? Maybe someone got it? Was there anyone else there when you played a while ago?” Jaejoong was worried for his friend. He knows that the thing he lost was really important to Junsu. He just can’t let this slip off.
“Not that I remember…” Junsu sat down on the table, clearly worried about the important paper. A few minutes of silence passed until Junsu broke it. “Oh damn, Park Yoochun was there.” Junsu blurted out with his eyes widened.
Jaejoong and Changmin were as equally shocked as Junsu. Park Yoochun was a music genius and he was known for his cold, silent and arrogant demeanor yet he was still famous among the ladies for his good looks. It was also rumored that he won’t think twice of hurting a person who ruins his reputation. Even if it’s a rumor, it scared Jaejoong and Changmin.
“I’ll just ask him for it then.” Junsu then stated.
“NO!” Both Jaejoong and Changmin said out loud. Jaejoong was terrified also since him and Yunho are friends. Yunho’s really frightening when he’s mad and Yoochun might be the same as him. He never really had a serious talk with this guy before.
“What’s wrong with him? He looked kind when I saw him…”
“You really are clueless about him. Well, you are new.” Changmin said rather obviously.
“What’s up with him that I can’t even go and ask him about my sheet music? Well, I did get scared of him when I saw him. He is the prodigy.”
Changmin and Jaejoong explained to him who Park Yoochun was. They also told him some rumors about this man. Junsu can just nod.
“I’ll still ask him though. I seriously need that paper. It’s my life.” Changmin and Jaejoong couldn’t do anything but just pray for his safety.
--
“Yunho! I found someone and something interesting!” Yunho suddenly woke up from Yoochun’s piercing voice.
“I don’t care who or what you found. Just let me have my rest.” Yunho closed his eyes and continued to relax.
“I found a boy in the music room. He left a sheet music. I don’t really know him though. He must be new.”
“Then?” Yunho couldn’t do anything but just listen to his so-called best friend. They’ve been hanging out for a long time already and Yoochun was the only person who didn’t care about his filthy rich family. Yoochun was actually a very nice guy. His attitude is far from those rumors spread around school. Maybe it was because he was hanging out with Yunho -who had a bad reputation yet, he was still really popular with the girls with his money, charm and not to mention, his very well built body. He never cared about any other people in his school until this very gorgeous (and sexy) guy named Kim Jaejoong came out of the picture. Kim Jaejoong was greatly popular with the guys. Yes, the guys. Jung Yunho understood since he is very stunning (and he won’t lie that he did fell for the beauty when he first saw him).
“His composition was amazing and it actually caught my attention that I had to go to the music room just to hear it.” Yunho didn’t even care at all.
“Why are you so annoyed anyway? Oh by the way, aren’t you going to see your lover or something?” Yoochun suddenly asked.
“Don’t mind me.” Yunho wasn’t annoyed, he was unhappy.
--
Junsu bid goodbye to Changmin and Jaejoong. Both saw the determination painted on Junsu’s face.
“He really won’t give up.” Changmin told Jaejoong as soon as they started walking.
“Seems like it.” Jaejoong responded while softly giggling.
Changmin and Jaejoong always walked to and from school together since they lived near each other. Junsu’s house was far from them so the man couldn’t be with them unless they are at school already.
They were awkwardly walking quietly and it was pretty weird since they were usually noisy especially when going home. Changmin finally thought of asking Jaejoong what was wrong since his actions today were a bit off.
“Hey hyung. I’ve been wondering. Is there something wrong?”
“…”
“Hyung. Hey. You’re out of it again.” Changmin had to wave his hand infront of Jae’s face just to catch his attention.
“Uhh, huh? What?” Jaejoong was definitely weird today, Changmin concluded.
“I can sense that there’s something wrong. What is it?” Jae frowned a bit.
“…Nothing Changmin.” Lie. Changmin could definitely see through Jaejoong.
“You can’t fool me. What did Yunho do?” Jae sighed. Only Changmin and Junsu knew about his relationship with Yunho.
“I told you Changmin, nothing’s wrong. I’m just tired.” Jaejoong stopped walking and faced the younger man. Changmin wasn’t satisfied with the answer. He can see that there really is something bothering his friend and he can tell that it’s because of this Yunho dude.
“Fine hyung. Just, cheer up a bit, okay? I don’t like seeing you all sad and gloomy.” Jaejoong smiled faintly with Changmin’s reply. He really had to go and talk to Yunho before anybody else will notice his behavior. But he couldn’t face the man. He was too scared of his reaction.
--
Junsu was raging in front of his two friends. Jaejoong got extremely worried. What did happen to Junsu and Yoochun exactly? But he couldn’t exactly focus on what was Junsu saying. He was still thinking about his problem. He still didn’t know how to approach the man. It was hard for him. But then his thoughts were cut off when Changmin suddenly whispered to him.
“Why won’t you ask Yunho to get it from Yoochun, Jae-hyung?” Jaejoong thought that it was a great idea but the problem was he couldn’t look straight to Yunho and they haven’t seen each other. Changmin got more worried when he saw Jaejoong’s slightly problematic face.
“I-I haven’t seen Yunho lately. Maybe it’s a bad idea. And let’s just support Junsu with this.” Changmin gave Jaejoong the worried look but he just agreed. “Okay hyung.”
‘They should fix this soon or else I’ll beat that Yunho up.’ Changmin didn’t like seeing Jaejoong sad. The man was like his long lost brother and at the same time, mother.
“What were you talking about?” Jaejoong abruptly looked at Junsu. He had to think of a lie. Junsu didn’t know that Yunho’s friends with Park Yoochun.
“Hahaha nothing Su. Changmin just asked me if you were always like this when you hate someone.” Jaejoong laughed off his lie. He tried to make it believable.
“Yeah! You’re actually pretty funny!” Jaejoong didn’t expect Changmin to lie with him but he was thankful of the man.
“HEY! Are you two ganging up on me?” Jaejoong chuckled.
“No we’re not!” Changmin said. The bell rang and they had to return to their class.
“Good luck with him Su-ah!” Jaejoong immediately grabbed Junsu’s arm before he could even yell at Changmin. ‘Oh Junsu, you haven’t changed even one bit.’ Jaejoong grinned at his childhood friend and continued to drag him inside the room.
--
Changmin had to leave early today. Junsu ran off to look for Park Yoochun who supposedly had his very important sheet music. Jaejoong was left by his two friends and he tried his best not to show himself in front of Yunho today. He successfully left the gates, very thankful that Yunho wasn’t around. He needed some time to think about it first before he finally makes his move. He really didn’t know how and where he should do it. It was hard and he knows that Yunho would not agree to it immediately. He heaved out a very deep sigh.
He was still halfway to his house and so he decided to check his phone out of boredom. He took it out to check if there are any messages. His eyes grew wide when he saw that Yunho tried to call him 23 times that day. He checked his messages and saw that there were 8 messages from Yunho.
‘No Jaejoong, don’t call him back.’
He placed his phone back in his pocket. He needed more time to think.
--
A week had pass and still, Jaejoong wasn't seeing, meeting, or even talking to Yunho. He had to go and tell his lover but he couldn't bring himself to do so. Maybe it wasn’t a great idea after all.
--
Yunho didn’t see Jaejoong today or even the past few days. He missed the man so much. Jaejoong hasn’t been answering his calls or text messages for the past days. He thought that maybe the man was too busy with school so he let it slip off but a week was just too much for him already. Yunho knew there was something wrong. He finally decided that he should visit his lover. He continuously walked out of the school gates completely forgetting about using his car. He wanted to see Jaejoong. No, he needed to see Jaejoong.
Kim Jaejoong changed his life after that certain unforgettable event. It was already their dismissal when Yunho heard his classmates gossiping about ‘three guys taking a pretty man’s virginity.’ He then realized that the pretty man they were talking about was actually Kim Jaejoong -there was no one else. Yunho immediately rushed out of the classroom and tried to search for the man. He swiftly heard screams down the hall. Yunho ran as fast as he could and he extremely beat up those three guys as soon as he arrived. He went near Jaejoong who was unbearably crying in a corner. The young man was terribly traumatized from the event and he couldn’t help but comfort him for an hour or so.
After that day, Yunho threatened everyone during their assembly time not to go near Jaejoong or else they will face him. Everyone got shocked and scared from the threat. Even the teachers couldn’t do anything but listen to the man. He is that powerful. After that particular day, no one ever came close to Jaejoong. They were all scared of Yunho’s wrath.
The two men grew closer with each other until one day, they were already going out. No one knew about their relationship though except for Yoochun, Changmin, and Junsu.
He finally arrived at Jaejoong’s flat. He rang the doorbell and was surprised that it wasn’t Jaejoong’s mother opening the door and welcoming him. It was Jaejoong himself. The gorgeous man was also surprised with Yunho’s sudden visit but he tried to remain calm.
“Hi boo. Where is your mother?” Yunho asked curiously. Whenever he visited, it was always Jaejoong’s mother welcoming him. His dad was currently in Japan for work.
“She’s in Japan right now visiting dad. How about you Yunho, why are you here?” Yunho was shocked with Jaejoong’s cold voice.
“Did I do anything wrong Joongie? You’ve never been this cold to me before.” Yunho stepped inside the room and locked the door. He trapped Jaejoong against a wall. Jaejoong sighed.
“You’re just like Changmin. Constantly worrying about me.” Yunho was softly nipping Jaejoong’s exposed white neck. The taller man suddenly lifted his head and cupped Jaejoong’s perfect face. “Tell me what’s wrong, baby.”
Jaejoong can finally tell the man his true feelings. ‘Now’s the right time.’ He thought.
“I’m sick of everything, Yunho. I’m sick of this relationship being a secret. It’s been almost 3 years. I can’t be with you normally at school and it hurts me. I just want everyone to know that we’re going out. I want everyone to know that you own me.” Jaejoong was on the verge of tearing up. Yunho was taken aback. He never knew Jaejoong’s true feelings.
“But you know that it will affect my re-”
“Yeah, yeah. Your reputation that I don’t even care about!” Jae was already screaming. Yunho was stunned. He couldn’t think of an answer with Jaejoong’s outburst.
“Get out.” Jaejoong was tearing up already. Yunho wasn’t budging from his place.
“I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT JUNG YUNHO!” Yunho never saw this side of Jaejoong. Yunho was clearly being stubborn. Instead of leaving the room, he enveloped Jae into a tight embrace.
“What the fuck are you doing Yunho? I SAID GET OUT!” Jaejoong was now crying really hard. “G-get out Yunho… Just… get out!” His voice got softer. He was pushing Yunho away from him but he soon lost his strength. He just cried on Yunho’s chest. The taller man tried to calm Jaejoong down from his frantic sobbing.
Yunho had to make the right decision.
--
Jaejoong rose up from his bed. It was five am in the morning. He suddenly saw Yunho seated on a chair situated at a far corner sleeping. He remembered what happened yesterday and he blamed himself for losing his temper on Yunho. He stood up from the bed and noticed that he was only wearing an over-sized shirt that went up to his thighs. He went near Yunho, bringing along the blanket from the bed.
“You’re already awake?” He was startled to hear Yunho’s raspy voice and stopped on his tracks.
Jaejoong gently nodded as a reply.
“…Yunho-yah” Jaejoong suddenly called Yunho’s name. He was nervous that the man would hate him after what he did yesterday.
“What is it, love?” Jaejoong was startled with his lover’s words. “Y-you’re not mad at me?” Jaejoong asked him in disbelief.
“How can I? Come here you.” Jaejoong dropped the blanket and walked straight to him. Yunho grabbed Jaejoong’s arm and let him sit on his lap. Jaejoong then straddled the man’s lap, blushing hard. Yunho tenderly wrapped his muscular arms around Jaejoong’s slim waist.
“I thought about what you said Jaejoong.”
“Umm, you can forget what I said yesterday. I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have lost my temper like that. Let’s just pretend tha-”
“It’s not your fault Jae! I should be the one sorry.”
“B-but I- ”
“I decided we shouldn’t keep our relationship a secret anymore.” Yunho cut him off with his fast statement. Yunho tightened his hold on Jaejoong.
“…What?” Jaejoong was now confused. At first, Yunho was against it but now he’s agreeing?
“You’re right. There’s no point in hiding. I want you to be happy Jaejoong. I want us to be happy. I want to tell everyone that I own you and that they should not mess with you. You’re mine, Jae. Mine alone.” Jaejoong was overjoyed but he still had to ask to make sure this isn’t a dream. “Are you sure Yunho?”
“Are you doubting me my dear Jaejoong? I love you too much.” Yunho pressed his lips on Jaejoong’s plump ones. It was a simple kiss yet it brought out both their true feelings for each other. Jaejoong was smiling through their lip lock. He wrapped his arms gently around Yunho’s neck to deepen their connection. When Jaejoong moaned from the kiss, Yunho slipped his tongue in and slowly felt his lover’s hot cavern. Jaejoong was softly moaning from the intimate kiss they were sharing. They broke off to regain some air.
“I love you too, Yunho.” Jae whispered seductively to Yunho’s ear -completely breathless from the kiss. Yunho was overjoyed and preceded to mark Jaejoong’s luscious neck. Jaejoong knew what was happening next. He gradually draped his legs around Yunho’s waist. Yunho stood up carrying Jaejoong-who was completely attached to him- and placed him down on the bed. Jae was moaning from the love bites Yunho was giving him. Yunho passionately locked his lips to Jaejoong’s again -now with both of their tongues battling for dominance. They hungered for each other’s love and touch. It’s certainly going to be a very long day.
Jaejoong made a mental note to text message Changmin that he couldn’t go to school today.
