Falling For You Chapter 6
Here it is, and I'm so sorry I took so long to post. I have no excuese, just pure laziness on my part, and a little bit of trying to get the chapter to read right LOL.
Oh and it's snowing!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Junsu
A pair of eyes looked intently at the waffles and berries that sat before him, still untouched. Hands wringing themselves beneath the breakfast table, white teeth worrying his bottom lip.
He was conscious of the gaze that had been on him since he entered the dining room.
One and a half week. That's how long it's been since the night he went out with Yoochun. Memories of that night still worked their way into his mind.
The car ride with Yoochun had been awkward, for him anyways, to say the least.
Yoochun had talked to him like he was an old friend. But now, that he thought back, he had to say that Yoochun's constant dialogue had put him at ease.
The smooth sound of Yoochun’s voice had drawn him in, and had lifted the wool from his eyes.
Gradually, he became more relaxed around the other man.
Yoochun had been the perfect gentleman, opening doors for him, buying him popcorn and drinks at the movies. Keeping the palm of his hand on the small of his back as they walked side by side.
His touch had started to feel comfortable to him, and when Yoochun took his hand away, he missed it.
During the movie Yoochun hadn't laughed at his shocked gasps at the nude parts of the movie, hadn't teased him like he thought he would. In fact, had been understanding of his more innocent nature.
Junsu, feeling his face flush, lowered his head further, now looking at his hands instead of his breakfast.
These feelings were new to him, and it scared him at how quickly he was beginning to like the other man.
In fact, he could say that he was already in love with Yoochun.
"Are you going to stare at you waffles all day, or are you going to eat them?"
Junsu jumped slightly at Kibum's whispered question.
Slowly, he turned his head to look at his brother, eyes wide. He has just discovered something, and he wasn't sure of where to go with it.
Leaning to the side, closer to Kibum so no one could hear him, "Kibum, I think I'm in love." Junsu whispered.
Kibum smiled at him, "Well, about time you owned up to it. I knew you had some feelings for the man." Kibum smiled across the table to Changmin and then to Yoochun who had been watching them talk.
Junsu drew in a deep breath, "Kibum, is this not to fast? Loving Yoochun like this? I've barley know him over a week."
Kibum laughed softly, "I think it's normal to fall in love this quickly. There is no time limit on love, Junsu. Love just happens and sometimes, it happens when you are least expecting it." Kibum looked meaningfully at Jaejoong.
Junsu followed Kibum's gaze and nodded his head in recognition of what Kibum was trying to point out to him.
If there was anyone that was in denial, it was Jaejoong. He was so in love with Yunho, it practically seeped off him.
Since the first time the boy had met his future husband, he tried to deny his feelings.
Junsu shook his head while glancing over to Yoochun, offering him a weak smile.
Kibum grinned, "There for a while, I thought you where going to be like Jaejoong, to stubborn to see what’s right under your nose."
Junsu sighed in surrender, what else could he do. He wasn't going to make himself believe he didn't love Yoochun, because he was NOT like Jaejoong.
"So, what do I do, Kibum? How do I tell him that I'm interested in him?" Junsu muttered, his eyes still on Yoochun.
Kibum smirked, "If you keep looking at him like that, then you won't have to worry about telling him, he'll know by your expressions. But, it wouldn't hurt to be nicer to him, you know. Be more open to his advances." Kibum settled back in his seat, telling Junsu that he was done with the conversation, but Junsu wasn't.
He leaned over to Kibum again, "Why do I feel so scared? Why do I feel like I want to run and hide from him?"
Kibum signed, "It's natural to be a little scared. Everyone's scared of 'NO' being said instead of what they want to hear. But, I don't think you have anything to worry about with Yoochun, he likes you too. He hasn't been in denial the past week, you have. Just be yourself, and if you're scared of telling him, then Jae or I could tell him for you."
Junsu shook his head, "No. I want to tell him."
Glancing across the table again, he noticed that Yoochun had finished his breakfast.
"Yoochun, would you like to go outside with me for a little while?" Junsu felt his voice shake as he waited for Yoochun reply to him.
At the other mans nod, they stood and Junsu led them out the back door, at the back of the kitchen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Standing beside the clear water of the infinity pool, Junsu shifted from foot to foot, slightly dragging his trembling fingers through his short hair.
He was beyond nervous, far beyond scared. He was petrified!
His belly felt like there were two birds fighting inside it.
Why was he like this? This was not how he ever thought he'd confess to the one he loved.
The one he loved. Just that thought alone made his pulse speed up.
This is not normal, he thought to himself.
He felt like he could be sick at any given moment.
Junsu raised his eyes to meet the other mans and gasped. There in Yoochun's eyes, he saw the same feelings that he himself felt.
Biting his lip, he smiled; maybe this would be easier than he thought.
Seeing the small lift at the corner of Yoochun's mouth made the fight in his belly go away.
"Yoochun, I need to tell you something." Junsu said his voice low and still a little shaky.
While he was drawing in a deep breath he heard Yoochun's, "Is there something wrong, Junsu? Are you alright?"
Junsu grinned big then, his body relaxing, "Yes, I'm fine. I just wanted to tell you..." Junsu drifted off as he watched the play of the sunlight on Yoochun's dark brown hair.
To Junsu, Yoochun was the most handsome man he'd ever met, and right at this moment he was even more so.
Was it because he was about to share his feelings with him?
Was it because in his eyes, Yoochun showed him what he could have?
He shook himself out of his momentary musings when Yoochun lifted an eyebrow at him.
"Just wanted to tell me...what?" Yoochun asked him.
Junsu saw amusement on Yoochun's face. Junsu had a feeling that Yoochun knew what he wanted to tell him.
"I-I just wanted to tell you that I like you." Junsu whispered.
"You'll have to speak louder, I didn't quit get that." Yoochun said, and to Junsu, his voice sounded gentle, almost soothing.
Junsu lowered his eyes, embarrassed beyond belief, "Yoochun, I like you." Junsu whispered, his voice unsteady.
Junsu jerked his head up when he felt firm, yet gentle hands settle on his waist.
Yoochun’s eyes were shining and a wide smile graced his lips, "You like me huh? And here I thought you were straight. So what made you go from being straight as an arrow to liking a guy?" Yoochun asked with mirth as he stepped closer.
Junsu shook his head, "It's not what, but who, and that's you. I've never been straight. I just didn't want to get to liking you, and you not returning the same feelings for me." Junsu explained, his hands coming to rest on Yoochun's hands at his waist.
Yoochun leaned his head back and signed before looking down into wide brown eyes, "Oh, my cute little Junsu. Couldn't you tell? I've liked you since the first time I laid eyes on you. I don't think you even noticed me the first day, you where to busy comforting your brother."
Junsu grinned up at Yoochun, feeling a little less shy now that he knew that Yoochun shared the same feelings as he did.
"I did notice you. I noticed every little thing about you. I especially took careful notice of you lips, your voice. Your voice send shivers down my back, but, I still thought that maybe you where out of my league, so I didn't want to set myself up for a hard fall. But I fell anyways."
Junsu paused as he studied Yoochun's face, "Yoochun, there's something else I need to tell you."
Yoochun gazed down at him, "What is it?"
Junsu bit his lip, while looking into the taller man's eyes, "Yoochun, I-I just don't like you, I love you." Junsu felt his face get hot at his slight stutter as he waited for Yoochun's reaction.
He knew that liking someone was different from loving someone, and he just hoped he didn't scare Yoochun off with his true feelings towards him. That it wasn't to soon to admit this to him.
Yoochun cocked his head to the side, eyeing Junsu, "Well Junsu…"
Yoochun paused here and Junsu felt like he died a million deaths in that one second.
Yoochun moved in closer to him, moving his hands from his waist to his back, bringing their bodies together.
" I love you." Yoochun muttered his eyes glowing with the shine of a true love.
Junsu's lips parted as he looked up at Yoochun, then he let out a small gasp as the taller man lowered his head, taking his lips in a light kiss that deepened quickly.
Junsu's arms snaked up and wound themselves around Yoochun's neck, pulling him more into him.
He sighed as he gave the man he loved his first kiss, enjoying it far more than he ever thought he would.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kibum watched as Junsu and Yoochun left the room. He hoped that everything went ok for his brother.
He didn't think his brother would get rejected, not by Yoochun.
He looked across the table and smiled at the tall man gazing back at him.
"Changmin, are you done eating?" Kibum asked as he laid his fork to the side.
Changmin nodded, leaning back in his seat, "Jaejoong , that was really good. Thank you for the breakfast."
Kibum smiled at Jae's shy, "Your welcome, Changmin."
"Changmin, would you like to come to the living room and sit with me before everyone gets to work?"
Changmin pushed back his chair and stood, "Sure."
He got up and walked around the table meeting Changmin, letting the older man take his hand.
They walked together to the front of the house and sat on the over plush couch, hips and thighs touching.
Kibum, lifted their still joined hands and kissed the back of Changmin’s palm, "So, what are you doing today?" Lifting his head to see the other’s face.
Changmin grinned, "Well, I'm supposed to be looking after our finances, but I keep the books up to date, so there's no rush in it. Why?" Changmin lowered his eyes down to him, watching closely.
Kibum sucked in his lower lip, before releasing it with a loud pop. Signing, then huffing, and then finally, "I don't have school today, I thought we might spend some time together. But, if you’re busy, that's ok." Kibum muttered, not wanting to take him away from his work.
Kibum felt Changmin's chest shake, as he laughed, “I have no problem with that. I love spending time with you, you know that."
Changmin lifted a finger and pushed a lock of hair from Kibum's face, then letting his hand fall to his cheek, cupping the soft smooth skin he found there.
Kibum nuzzled his cheek into Changmin's palm, loving the feel of his big warm hand on his skin.
He felt Changmin's hand slid down to his chin, lifting his face up.
Kibum's eye's closed as Changmin gently laid a kiss on his lips. They moved their heads to the side so their noses weren't bumping.
They kissed lazily, their tongues softly touching.
Kibum moved his hands to rest on Changmin's chest, feeling his rapidly beating heart under his hands, drawing back his head, parting their lips.
Kibum smiled shyly up at Changmin, and Changmin's laughter rang out in the brightly lit room, his long arms circling Kibum's waist to hold his close.
Kibum closed his eyes as he laid his head on Changmin's shoulder, smiling.
They had decided that they weren't going to pretend like there wasn't anything between them, to try and fight the attraction that they both really felt.
They tried to be together as much as possible, when school and Changmin's work would allow. Mostly, they were able to steal time in the evenings, getting to know one another more.
Kibum sighed happily. He could never remember feeling so good on the inside, never felt his heart swell with so many different emotions at once, love, happiness, thankfulness, to name just a few.
Kibum was rubbing his cheek against the shoulder he was leaning on when he heard Changmin clear his throat.
Looking up, Kibum could see a blush spread across Changmin's cheekbones.
"Changmin?"
Kibum felt Changmin's arms tightened more around him.
"Kibum, let's get married." Changmin spoke gently, quietly, and Kibum's breath quickened.
"Married? Changmin, I don't know, we have only known each other for a little while." He moves back and stares steady Changmin.
The taller man smiled, "I'm not saying that we have to get married tomorrow, but to just get engaged. To show that you are mine. We could get engaged now and get married in a year." Changmin suggested, holding firmly to Kibum's hands.
Kibum lowered his head a bit, thinking of how much he wanted to say yes. It wouldn't be like they wouldn't have time to get to know each other better.
One year to wait to marry the man that he already knew that he loved with his whole heart. Yes, he could wait a year, couldn't he?
"Alright, we can get engaged and then hold the wedding in a year." Kibum whispered, joy flooding his body in soft waves.
Changmin grinned wide and started hugging Kibum, but Kibum pushed him back, seriousness showing.
"Changmin wait, you have to do something first." Kibum said to him. To him this was important.
Changmin sat back eyeing the shorter boy sitting beside him, "Ok, so what do I have to do?"
Taking a deep breath, Kibum held onto Changmin’s hands tighter, "Changmin, Seung Chu is my guardian, you need to ask him permission to marry me." Kibum searched his loves eyes and let out a breath when he nodded.
Changmin agreed, "Let's go to him now, Kibum."
Kibum shook his head, "No, not right now. He's not doing well. We'll go this afternoon, ok."
Kibum leaned back into Changmin's arms, snuggling. A thought came to him as they sat in silence holding each other.
"Changmin, have you ever been in a serious relationship before?" Kibum asked curious at what the man’s answer was going to be.
Changmin looked down at the boy in his arms, a frown pulling the corners of his mouth down. "Are you sure you want to know that?"
Kibum could only take that as a yes, "Changmin, tell me about it, please." Kibum wanted to make sure he didn't make the same mistakes as Min's ex's did.
Changmin signed, "My first long time relationship lasted from middle school to my junior year in high school. She and I were inseparable." Kibum interrupted there, "She? Your first longtime relationship was a girl?"
"Yes. Yeon Mae was my first girlfriend and my last GIRLfriend. We ended because her family moved to the United States. But, we parted as friends. We really didn't love each other, hadn't loved each other for a while. It was just habit to be together. I think it was a few weeks before we separated that I subconsciously starting to like boys more than girls. She knew, we hadn't been intimate for along time, but we never spoke of it. She was fine with it and I was fine with the way things were."
Changmin paused here waiting for Kibum to digest the information he had given him.
Kibum moved in closer, "So, when did you have your first boyfriend?" The question was whispered.
Changmin bit his lip, "It was while I was in college. I thought that I liked guys, but, wasn't really sure. One night, while my dorm mate was out, I started to watch some porn on the web. I think I knew when my eyes kept watching the guys in the video instead of the girls. I changed websites, found a gay porn site instead. A few videos later and my roommate walks in on me jerking off to gay porn. Instead of being disgusted, like I thought he would be, he just walked over to his desk opened a drawer and came back over to me, handing me a fly leaf. He said it was a guy party and if I really wanted to know, I should attend. And I did. That night I met my first fling. He wasn't anything serious and the lust fizzled out a few weeks later, and we ended it. About a month later I met Dae Bin. It was like we were made for each other. We had been together for about six months. One day, I decided I was going to surprise him by going to his dorm room and cook dinner for him, and set a romantic mood so we could spend the night in bed."
Changmin paused here, as he remembered his past. His eyes held a faraway look. Then he continued where he left off.
"Only I didn't know that the surprise would be on me. I walked in and found him in bed with his best friend. I was stunned, and stood there for a few moments before I turned and walked out."
Changmin became conscious of Kibum's hands rubbing his shoulders, trying to comfort him,
"Did you guys try to make up?" Kibum asked, his voice low.
"No, I didn't want to make up. He tried, but I just couldn't find it in myself to trust him. And it's a good thing I didn't get back with him. It was found out a few months later that he had contracted the HIV virus."
Changmin became surprised when Kibum stiffened and started to move back from him, then realization hit and immediately put Kibum at ease.
"NO! Don't worry. I'm clean. As soon as I found out, I went and had myself checked out. And then went and got tested every three months for a year just to be on the safe side. The doctors finally told me that I was fine, that there was no reason for me to come again unless I had a lot of sexual partners, which I hadn't, if you wanted to know. I could count on one hand how many guys I’ve been with. Actually, I wouldn't even need the whole hand."
Kibum sighed in relief and repositioned himself beside Changmin again, wrapping his arms around his waist.
"I'm glad that you refused him, Min. I would have missed out on knowing you and loving you."
Changmin laughed again and untangled himself from Kibum and stood up. Holding out his hand, "Come on. Lets go see what Junsu and Yoochun are up too."
Kibum giggled as they walked from the room through the dining room and out the kitchens back door, only to slowly come to a stop, when seeing Yoochun and Junsu in an embrace.
Kibum grinned up at Changmin, "Well, I guess they're doing good."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jaejoong
Jaejoong watched as Kibum and Changmin exited the room.
He was thankful that Kibum and Junsu were getting on well with Changmin and Yoochun, even though he knew that more was going on than mere friendship.
He didn't know how to feel about that. He guessed he was ok with it as long as his brothers were happy.
He looked over to the head of the table. The chair was empty, Seung Chu not feeling well enough to leave his bed.
Jae frowned. Seung Chu hadn't been feeling well for the last three or four days and it showed just how much his body was deteriorating, him succumbing to the cancer ravishing his body.
When Jae had checked in on him before going downstairs to start breakfast, he had to keep a tight hold on his tears.
Seung Chu had gently reminded him that he knew that this was going to happen, and that his passing was inevitable.
What made Jae feel even worse was that for the last few days, Yunho had monopolized his thoughts. The man popping up in his mind at different times of the day, during tests, while showering, brushing his hair and wondering if Yunho would like the style he had styled it that day, putting on his shoes, just all the time evading his head, Seung Chu being thought of less and less. And that made Jae feel worse than anything else, which he didn't think of his husband but of another man, like a bad wife would do.
But try as he might he just couldn't stop thinking about Yunho.
The past week has been more peaceful than he ever imagined it to be. Not as awkward as he thought it would be, having the man he was going to marry and the man he was married to under one roof. In fact Yunho and Seung Chu were very much in sync with each other about what was happening and what was about to happen.
At first he didn't think he'd even be able to look at Yunho, much less talk to him. But, they had been pushed together time and time again. Yunho didn't seem mind, in fact acted like he enjoyed it.
Yunho would take him to school and pick him up at the end of the day, while his brothers caught rides with Yunho's cousins. Every time Jae needed to go to the market for shopping, Yunho would accompany him, never letting him go by himself.
Jaejoong's eye's slowly drifted over to the man sitting in front of him.
His breath hitched as Yunho smiled at him.
Jae lowered his head pouting.
Try as he might he could never find any fault with Yunho. Could never find any reason to be unfriendly with the man.
Yunho never crossed the line with him, never touched him inappropriately, and always put him first.
If anything Yunho was perfect.
Except for one thing.
Yunho was only marrying him for the money.
That alone dampened his pride. That Yunho only wanted him for the money and not for any other reason. Jae felt a stab of pain at the thought. He wanted to believe that money wasn't the only reason Yunho was here, but he couldn't. It was an obstacle he couldn't cross. And what made it worse was that Jae felt sure that he could love Yunho. He was in fact, having to fight the feeling already, having to beat it down until only the roots showed and not the tender blossom of love.
He slowly lifted his hand and pressed his fingertips against his temples, rubbing.
He was plagued with not only thoughts, but also, wicked, wicked dreams of the other man. Dreams no virgin should ever be dreaming, and wishing with everything in his virginal body that the dreams would one day, or night, come true.
"Jae."
Jaejoong lifted his head as he heard his name called.
Yunho had stood up from the table, and was trying to get his attention. He shook his head a little to clear it.
"Yes Yunho?" He muttered.
Yunho gazed down at him, "Jae, I'm going to work. If you need anything don't hesitate to let me know, ok?"
Jae bit his lip before agreeing, then watched as Yunho left the room, leaving him alone.
Jae rose from the table, deciding it was time to get on with the day, he couldn't sit and daydream about Yunho all day, and went up to check on Seung Chu.
Jae slowly, quietly as he could, opened the door to his husband’s room, before sticking his head through. He opened the door further and entered the room as he saw the elder man sleeping. Just as quietly, he pulled the door to, and crept as silently as he could to the bed.
Standing, he heaved a sigh before carefully sitting down on the edge of the bed.
Jae lifted a hand and gently touched the aged hands resting on top of the covers.
His eyes filled again as he felt shame enter him.
"Seung Chu," He whispered, his voice barely audible, chocking from the tears clogging his throat.
"I'm sorry. I'm not a good wife. I think of Yunho in ways I shouldn't while I'm still married to you. I feel like I'm cheating on you when I dream of him and myself. You’ve been so good to me and this is how I repay you, by falling in love with another man." Jae traced the lines on the mans hands, his tears falling and he didn't know why he was crying, if it was for Seung Chu or Yunho or even himself, he didn't know.
"No matter that he is my future husband, because I'm married to you, have been married for two years. Am I that fickle? Can my heart be turned that quickly? I know that I only hold fatherly love for you, but still, I feel so wrong feeling this way. My heart is torn and I don't know what to do."
Jae looked down at the sleeping man and smiled sadly.
"What am I to do? Do I just let myself love him? You told me to treat him like he was already my husband, and I want too. It's just when I do, I want more. I want to kiss him, to feel him, to taste him like I've done before. I shouldn't even want these things until after I'm married to him, but I can't stop feeling this way. Should I give in? Should I do what my heart's telling me to do? What should I do?"
Jae sighed and stood after giving the cold hand a gentle squeeze. Walking to the door, he turned once more to glance at the bed before quietly exiting the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Seung Chu slowly opened his eyes and smiled. His little wife is so silly.
His smile faded.
It was time. He had to tell Jaejoong the truth, and he had to do it tonight.
Seung Chu reached to the bedside table, opening the drawer, he removed a picture.
Smiling he touched the beautiful smiling person in the picture, "I miss you."
Seung Chu laid the photo down on his chest as tears flowered down his weathered cheeks and fell asleep, his last thoughts on how he needed to tell the truth and quickly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yunho stared at the clock and groaned. He hadn't been able to get any work done, his mind on Jae.
He rose from the desk, leaving the room to go downstairs. On his way to the kitchen he passed one of the maids.
"Excuse me, could you tell me where Jaejoong is?"
The maid smiled, "He is out back with the others, sir."
"Oh, ok. Thank you."
The maid bowed as Yunho passed her to go through the kitchen and out the back door.
He paused once he was there. This is the first time he's been in the backyard and it amazed him at how big this place was.
He walked over to the pool and looked around. Red russet tiles lined the pool area. Big planters with flowers Yunho knew for sure weren't even in season lined the pool. The fence for privacy was made of a fifteen foot tall hedge that had small yellow flowers on it. A few feet from the pool was a grill area and an outdoor kitchen, equipped with everything a person needed. An oval wooden table with padded wooden chairs sat beside the grill area waiting for someone to come sit and eat.
Yunho walked around but found no evidence of the other guys until he heard a high pitched laugh. He stopped. He was sure that the laugh came from behind the hedge. He walked around beside the hedge until he came to a walkway cut out in the hedge, and then he heard another deeper laugh he recognized as Yoochun.
Tilting his head he went through the arch way and the yard opened up before him.
Yunho stood amazed at what he saw.
Yoochun and Junsu were on their knees, and if he had to guess right, were pulling weeds from one of the many raised beds that was set in a circle, all at least ten feet long and five feet wide.
He turned his head and saw Jaejoong on the other side of the circle his back facing him.
Yunho walked over to him and kneeled down beside him.
"Jae, what are you doing?"
Jae jumped, his hand coming up to his heart and then turned to Yunho.
"Yunho you scared me! Don't do that!"
Yunho smiled sheepishly at Jae, "I'm sorry, but what are you doing?"
Jae turned a proud smile at Yunho.
"I'm spreading straw under these plants. Want to help?" Jae asked his eyes filled with hope that Yunho couldn't miss and his breath caught. Could it be that Jae is accepting him?
Yunho squatted down beside Jae, and took some straw in his hand.
Watching Jae he mimicked what he saw him do.
Jae turned to him, "Make sure the straw goes on the ground as close to the plant as possible and try not to cover the bottom leaves, ok."
Yunho nodded and continued to place the straw around the plants.
"Jae, what kind of plants are these?" yunho was curious at the short plants with wide, furry looking leaves.
"Oh, these are strawberries. We grow strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Really any kind of fruit that you want we grow here." Jae said as he placed some straw around the last of the plants.
Yunho looked around, all he could see were strawberry plants.
"Where are the other plants?" Yunho asked Jae as they stood.
Jae smiled, turned and pointed to a huge glass greenhouse.
Yunho was astonished. How did he miss that? It was as big a city owned greenhouses that housed tropical plants.
"All the fruit and veggies that you eat are grown here, in the greenhouse."
That's when Yunho saw Changmin and Kibum inside.
"What are those two doing in there?" Yunho asked pointing at the two inside the greenhouse.
Jae's next move shocked him. He reached out and took his hand and led him to the glass structure, yelling out to Junsu to come on inside the greenhouse as soon as he finished.
As they entered Yunho let out a gasp, looking around.
Every fruit or vegetable that you could ever imagine was housed here. Herbs, flowers and even dwarf fruit and nut trees stood proudly in the back.
No wonder Jae told Yunho not to buy him flowers. Jae had said he could get all the flowers that he wanted. Just the same with the chocolates that Yunho had given him, Jae saying that he could make chocolate and make it better.
He watched as the automated sprinklers came on at certain times and misted the plants, making rainbows everywhere.
He turned to Jae who had let go of his hand and was now walking to the side of the building where Kibum and Changmin where standing popping open big boxes.
Yunho walked behind him and listened to the talk.
"Are we almost ready to begin packing the fruit and veggies?" he asked Kibum. At Kibum’s nod Yunho smiled as Jae let out an excited squeak.
"All right lets get started! We don't have all day!" Jae exclaimed loudly, grabbing a box and heading for the back of the room.
Yunho was about to follow him, but Changmin stopped him, giving him a box, "Here fill this with either a fruit or vegetable, Yunho."
Yunho took the box and looked at Kibum, "What's going on?"
Kibum looked surprised at Yunho's question "What you don't know? Jae didn't tell you? We are taking food to the orphanage. We couldn't possible ever eat all this so it's donated. But, I think it's just an excuse for Jae to grow all this food." Kibum grinned at him, "Now go fill the box with food that kids will eat."
Yunho slowly walked to the first bed that he came to. Looking at the picture, blackberries, thorn less. Yunho smiled and started filling his box with the tart sweet berries.
Soon Junsu and Yoochun came in and grabbed boxes and very soon after that they were ready to go. The three Land Rover's filled to capacity with boxes of different fruits, veggies and nuts.
***
Pulling up to the orphanage, Yunho stepped out as a young woman came out the front door with a big grin on her face. She ran up and hugged Jae, Kibum and Junsu, thanking them for coming once again.
She stepped back and looked over to Yunho, Changmin and Yoochun.
"Oh, and who are these handsome young men?" She said her eye twinkling.
Yunho watched as Jae laughed and made the introduction, leaving out the future husband detail.
Yunho watched as Jae went to the nearest trunk and grabbed a box, he turned to the woman with a hopeful look, "Hannah, may I? Please?"
Hannah laughed, "Yes, you know you don't need to ask anymore, boy." She laughed as Jae disappeared into the two-story house.
She turned and walked over to the SUV and took a box, she looked at the others, "Well, let's get this unloaded, shall we?"
Yunho frowned as he waited for Jae to return.
Junsu came up behind him and grinned, "He won't be back so help unload these boxes."
That just confused Yunho further, but he helped unload the food into the orphanage’s kitchen.
He turned as Hannah came back into the room, "Where did Jae go?"
Hannah smiled, "He's up in the nursery. That's the only reason we get food from him, so he can go see the babies." Hannah laughed in amusement, not at all offended by the younger boy.
Yunho smiled a little, another mystery solved, "Can I go up?"
At the woman’s nod, Yunho went upstairs.
Yunho came to a room where the lights were low and a low hum was heard. Walking in he saw Jae's back. He was swaying from side to side, and singing a lullaby. Even from this point he could see that he was holding something in his arms.
"Jaejoong?" Yunho whispered, disrupting the quiet, and making Jae spin around, a baby being held gently in his arms.
"Yunho."
Yunho walked over to Jae as he held the bundle of blue in his arms, the baby’s head tucked into his broad chest.
Yunho watched as Jae flushed delicately, while still rocking the babe.
Reaching out, Yunho softly ran his fingers over the baby fine hair, "How old is he Jae?"
Jae looked at him, his eyes big and shimmering, "Three weeks. Isn't he beautiful Yunho?" Jae murmured to Yunho, as he lowered his eyes to the little boy.
"Yes, he is beautiful." To Yunho the most beautiful thing was in front of him, Jaejoong holding the baby close to him, and pure love shining in him as he rocked his body to unheard music to lull the baby to sleep.
"Jae, we can adopt a baby after we get married, if you want." Yunho slowly reached and cupped a soft smooth cheek.
Jae's head jerked up, hope written all over his face, "Could we Yunho? A baby, a precious baby."
Yunho nodded, and the next instant he felt soft lips pressing against his.
Yunho stood shocked, but quickly over came it, bringing his hands to cup the back of Jae's neck, kissing the boy far more than what he knew Jae wanted, but, he wasn't going to let this moment pass him by.
Yunho tilted his head and gently traced Jae's lips with his tongue. When he parted his mouth, Yunho slipped the very tip of his tongue inside, teasing the roof of his mouth, earning a small shy moan from the smaller boy.
Yunho groaned out when he felt small fingers of one hand clenching the front of his shirt, like he was holding on.
Yunho stepped closer, careful of the baby between them and wrapped both arms around a slim waist. Moaning again at the sweet taste of Jae, he nibbled on his bottom lip, before taking his lips in a soul sweeping kiss for the second time.
Yunho felt his heart beat hard. Now he knew that Jae felt something for him, or he wouldn't be kissing him this way. It made his love grow as he held the boy in his arms, his slight frame fitting in perfectly with his.
Only the small sound of someone clearing their throats broke them apart. Their breathing was heavy, and eyes unfocused as they looked over at the door.
Yunho coughed as Jae went to put the baby back in his crib, before turning to look at the others.
Kibum smiled, "Sorry to interrupt, but, its time to go."
Jae nodded and followed the others out of the room, with Yunho behind him, holding his hand.
Yunho grinned as they got in the SUV's and headed home.
***
The ride back to the house was quiet. Not uncomfortably so. Hands locked in the middle and shy smiles, on Jae's part shared.
No words were needed. They both knew that their relationship had changed that day.
As they parked and went inside a maid met them at the front door.
"Mr. Lee would like you and your brothers, " then she turned to Yunho, "and you also with your cousins in his room at eight thirty tonight."
