Pairing: Yunjae
Summary: Yunho and Jaejoong had been best friends since forever. They are inseparable, and others envied their one of a kind friendship. Yunho thought they are perfect, until Jaejoong confessed that he is gay.
Yunho and Jaejoong had been best friends since he could remember. They have been there for each other, sorting each other's problem in any ways they can, goofing around when they just want to and been a good listener to each other when one decided to share his whims in life.
So Yunho could not understand why Jaejoong is now in front of him telling him that he is actually gay and that he's sorry for not telling him because Yunho would be mad when he knows.
Oh, how right of him. Because now, all Yunho wanted to do was to get things back the way they are, when they were teenagers that dreamt of boobs and body curves to die for. But it turns out he's the only one dreaming of it all along.
"Yunho-yah..we are, we're still friends right?", Jaejoong stuttered as he try to reassure himself that everything will be okay, because it's Yunho and Yunho-
"..I don't think so, Jaejoongie." Yunho winced as he saw his bestfriend gasp and a flash of hurt took over his face. He really didn't want to lie to Jaejoong since he'd been honest to him always, and that's why he cannot help but feel a twinge of hurt because Jaejoong should have told him sooner so he could still change Jae's preference and-
He mentally smacked himself. If he told him earlier, he would have just stopped being his friend earlier too. And changing a gay man to a straight man is not that easy. Especially his very stubborn friend.
"Why Yunho-yah? It doesn't change anything, its still me." Jaejoong said, his frown apparent as he try to salvage their friendship.
"Its not that Jaejoongie." The denial was so obvious even Yunho didn't believe himself.
"Then what? You will avoid me and pretend that I don't exist in your life anymore just because I'm gay?"
"Jaejoong, you know I'm homophobic, that's why I don't even know why you're saying this bullshit."
That hurt. Jaejoong try to keep his emotions at bay, he really tried. But when Yunho dismissed his confession as being gay, to just heartlessly spat out that this is bullshit when he have been rattled and nervous, his hands clammy and his heart hammering fast because he knows how Yunho will react. But he is his best friend, so he'd foolishly hoped that everything will be fine. They will still be friends.
How wrong he was.
"So is this it?" Jaejoong whispered as he licked his lips, looking at Yunho with sad, betrayed eyes.
"Jaejoong-ah, I-I really dont know what to do, how to react, dammit you're my best friend, just..I need some time. I'll try but don't expect that much." Yunho sighed and ruffled his hair out of exasperation. Right now, he just want to go home and pretend that none of this ever happened today.
"I really don't expect anything from you Yunho-yah. Today you proved something to me. And since I know from the beginning that this will happen, I think its best if it is me who will made the decision. You know, to make it hurt less."
"What are you talking about?" Now ,Yunho was nervous. Jaejoong sounds like he's trying to say goodbye-
"Lets end our friendship Yunho-yah."
Shit.
------------------------------------------
Its been two days since Jaejoong declared FO. And Yunho realized how empty his world was.
He missed his dorky bestfriend. He missed the times when they were teasing each other, laughing endlessly because of their idiotness and just enjoying each other's warm company.
Yunho sighed loudly. Jaejoong just end it like that, even when Yunho said he will try hard to accept his sexual preference.
"Hyung, Jaejoong -hyung is over there. Why are you here?" Changmin irritably said as he took note of how many times Yunho had discreetly snatch a look at Jaejoong. But really, who cloud escape Changmin the vigilant?
"Are you trying to get rid of me dongsaeng?" Yunho pouted to which Changmin scowled at.
"Yuck don't pout. Disgusting expression ever, who even invented that? I swear this world is full of idiots." Changmin mumbled as he tried to return to his book.
"I swear I'll make you see yourself when you do it. Brat."
"Hah, if you could do it. And stop glancing at Jaejoong-hyung and looking like a kicked puppy. If you're subtly doing it, you're failing."
"You are so mean."
"Took you long enough to realize it. Anyway, if you want your bestfriend's company, then go. I honestly wanted to be alone."
"If we still are." Yunho said, his shoulders sagging at the thought of his ex-bestfriend.
Changmin noticed the quick change of Yunho's aura, and by that his curiosity heightened more. "Hyung, what exactly happened to the both of you? Just yesterday, you two are inseperable and now, Jaejoong-hyung's acting like he doesn't know you..did you do something stupid to anger him?"
Yunho frowned. Is being honest to your feelings considered stupid now? "Changmin-ah, Jaejoong..he somewhat lied to me.."
"Jae-hyung, what? Lied to you? Impossible."
"Yesterday after class, he told me something. And I guess I don't like that he hid it from me, cause he's my bestfriend and you shoudn't hide things from your bestfriend especially important ones." Yunho sighed, feeling more guilty as he replayed the whole scenario yesterday in his mind. Bestfriends should have rights in privacy and secrecy. Its not an obligation to tell your dark secrets to someone moreover if you're uncomfortable.
Changmin sneak a look at his Jaejoong-hyung. His hyung seems to be fine unlike this one here. He's even hanging out with Siwon, something that rarely happens cause Yunho always manage to hog Jaejoong all the time.
"And what exactly is that important thing that manage to break the two of you apart, eh?" Changmin asked in a dull tone, obviously uninterested in his hyung's issue. He even has to review for his final examinations, dammit, but here he was, listening to every whines of people he considered as friends. How lucky.
"He said... that, he-he's...gay." Yunho said the last word with a hint of detest.
"And you're angry about that? Honestly hyung, you didn't even notice?" Changmin sighed. He's been right all along. All he manage to snag as friends are all bunch of dense people. How does he survives, he wonders.
Yunho, to say the least, is shock beyond words. He's been there all along, at Jaejoong's side but he didn't even notice. Very deep bond, indeed.
"You know what hyung, settle this issue and spare me. I have to review for my finals and with you talking to me, I won't finish anything. And Jae-hyung, he's been gay since forever. He has hand lotion in his bag for god's sake and he has a crush on Siwon. Better take a look behind you cause Siwon is making moves on your bestfriend..or more like your wife. AND I know deep inside your manly excuse, you like- no you love Jaejoong-hyung. I am most certain. Goodbye." Changmin left with a wicked smirk, believing that, yes, he's still a freaking genius despite being surrounded with idiots.
