A/N (1): have some YunJae~ ^_____^ and... hello Junsu! :D
Jaejoong stared at his best friend. Yoochun knew Jaejoong demanded an explanation just seeing his face. Yoochun only shrugged and tried to escape from his best friend’s interrogating mode. Unfortunately Jaejoong was quicker; he caught Yoochun’s arm and forced the latter to look at him. Jaejoong leaned closer to examine his best friend’s face. Yoochun was extremely nervous, but wasn’t as nervous as when he was with Changmin a few minutes ago.
“He kissed you?” Yoochun could tell that Jaejoong tried hard not to grin like idiot.
“You saw?”
“So that was right? Omo!” Jaejoong hugged Yoochun. “So, how was your first kiss?”
“How did you know he kissed me?” Yoochun whined.
“I know it just seeing your face… and your lips. Hahaha!”
Yoochun didn’t say anything but looking at his red face Jaejoong knew that his best friend was embarrassed.
“But why did he run away?” Jaejoong pouted; disappointed that he couldn’t tease Changmin.
“Because you ruined it!” Yoochun turned around and his eyes found Changmin’s forgotten macchiato. Jaejoong was giggling when Yoochun took the mug and sipped the macchiato. It tasted like his first kiss; and Yoochun’s lips formed a small shy smile.
“So, he’s your official boyfriend now?”
Yoochun stiffened. He closed his eyes then let out a heavy sigh. “We can’t be together.”
“Why not? I think he likes you too.”
Yoochun turned over and faced his so-called soul mate. “I can’t ruin his perfect life, Jae. And you know his family, right? It’s impossible they would accept me.”
“Nonsense! You haven’t even tried!”
“I don’t want to hurt both of us. I have to get rid of him. Today I lost my self control, I hate it.”
.::.
“Hello??” Changmin picked up his phone and greeted with not-so-nice tone.
“What’s wrong with you, Min? Are you in bad mood?” Yunho asked; he always knew if Changmin was upset.
“Yeah…. It’s… nothing.”
“Oh okay then. I just want to inform you about Soyeon. She’s ready for the date.”
“Who’s Soyeon?”
“She’s my friend, your blind date partner. So, are you free this Saturday?”
“Ah. Yes, yes, hyung. I’m free and please arrange it for me.”
“Okeydokey. I’ll tell you the details later!”
.::.
Yoochun went for shopping in one of malls in Apgujeong-dong. He was hunting for girls’ clothes for he wore to college. He was looking for pink skirt now.
“Omo! That’s cute!”
Hearing a shriek, Yoochun lowered the pink checkered skirt he was holding and looked up to see a pretty girl in front of him seemed interested with the skirt he held. Yoochun smiled, “Yeah it is.” Yoochun handed the skirt to the girl for her examining it.
“Changminnie, this one is good, right?”
A man, handsome and tall, appeared behind the girl and looked a bit surprised when his eyes met Yoochun’s. “T-that’s… good.”
The girl seemed like she didn’t really pay attention to Changmin since she was admiring the skirt. “You can take it. That’s the only one left.” Yoochun said, avoided Changmin’s intense gaze.
“Really? B-but what about your girlfriend?” She questioned.
“Huh? I don’t have girlfriend.”
“Ahh, I see. You buy it for your sister, isn’t it?” the girl smiled.
Yoochun could only nod. He took a look at Changmin who was frowning. Changmin knew Yoochun didn’t have sister. Changmin might know that he would buy the skirt for himself. “That’s okay.” Yoochun smiled again.
“Thank you! But… I don’t think the size will fit me. I think I will just try it!” the girl just ran to the closest fitting room and left Changmin and Yoochun with the awkward atmosphere between them.
They looked each other for a few seconds. Suddenly Changmin felt nervous; he wetted his lips before muttered an apology.
“Huh?” Yoochun didn’t really catch what Changmin said.
“I’m sorry, for the other day. I was so wrong and I shouldn’t have done that.” Changmin kept his head down, didn’t really trust himself to look at Yoochun’s eyes.
Yoochun opened his mouth but nothing came from his trembling lips. After taking a deep breathe, he managed to say “It’s okay. It doesn’t really matter.” Yoochun said with a shrug, but knowing that he was lying.
Changmin looked up and his eyes met Yoochun’s. He smiled and his eyes became slightly mismatched. Yoochun hated the fact that his heart still reacted the same like two years ago when the first time he saw Changmin’s smile when the latter’s team won a basketball match.
“Oh! I think the skirt doesn’t fit me.” Yoochun and Changmin broke their intense gaze as Soyeon’s voice startled them. “Maybe this will fit in your sister.” Soyeon gave the skirt to Yoochun.
“It will.” Changmin answered in a whisper but three of them still could hear that. Changmin locked his eyes on Yoochun. Looking at Changmin’s gaze, Yoochun didn’t know how to react, since he knew that Changmin knew he didn’t have any sisters. But Yoochun didn’t know, that Changmin knew about his slim waist.
When Soyeon turned, Changmin only shrugged. “Maybe. Let’s go.” Changmin dragged Soyeon but Soyeon managed to look back and smile to Yoochun.
Yoochun lowered his head and let out a heavy sigh. Changmin would never be his, and he didn’t even wish for that yet his heart still hurt seeing Changmin already dated someone.
.::.
Yunho sighed. “I don’t know what’s wrong with you.” He paused as he sipped his orange juice. “Soyeon is just… perfect for you, don’t you think so?”
“I know. But we agreed that we couldn’t continue this. Soyeon understand about this, she said we didn’t have something called chemistry.” Changmin said before he stuffed his mouth with sandwich.
“So that means I have to find another girl for you, Min??”
Changmin swallowed and ready to take another bite of his sandwich but his hand stopped. “Soyeon and I know what’s wrong with me.”
“What? Chemistry?”
Before Changmin could answer that, his phone rang. With a groan because his breakfast time was disturbed, he fished his phone and furrowed his eye brows looking at the unknown number on the screen. He decided to pick it up.
“Hello?”
“YAH! SHIM CHANGMIN WHERE ARE YOU???”
Changmin almost threw his phone and Yunho looked at him with an eye brow perked up because he could hear the yelling from the other line.
“Who’s this?”
“It’s Jaejoong. Where are you now? I need to talk to you.”
“Oh, Jaejoong-sshi. I’m at a café near my campus. But… I have a class in…” Changmin looked at his wrist watch, “an hour.”
“I’m on my way.” And Jaejoong hang up.
Yunho looked at his confused best friend with questioning eyes. Changmin shook his head and continued to eat his forgotten sandwich.
About 15 minutes later, Jaejoong came and startled both Yunho and Changmin. “Yah! What did you do to my best friend? You kissed him and the next day you date a girl? If you never wanted him why didn’t you just stop coming to that coffee shop and never show your interest to my best friend?” Jaejoong panted after almost shouting to Changmin who was shocked by Jaejoong’s sudden outburst.
Before Changmin could reply Jaejoong, Yunho was already standing and pointed out his finger to Jaejoong. “Yah! Who are you and why are you shouting like that to my friend?” Yunho paused for a second until he realized something, “w-what did you say? KISSED. HIM?” Yunho turned to Changmin who was undeniably shocked, “HIM? A... man?”
Changmin opened his mouth but no words came.
“Yes. A man. He’s my best friend.” Jaejoong helped to answer Yunho’s question.
Yunho turned to Jaejoong again and glared at the blondie. “You turned him into gay?” Yunho hissed.
“And what’s your business? It’s my business with that Shim Changmin!”
“Of course it’s my business too since Changmin is my best friend!”
“You-”
“STOP IT, GUYS!” Changmin finally stood up.
“But Changmin-”
“Hyung...”
“-are you really a gay now?”
Changmin sighed.
“So what if your best friend is gay, huh?” Jaejoong asked even before Changmin answered that question.
“Shut up you son of a-”
“Hyung!” Changmin shouted. By then he realized that he waas in a public place. He was glad that the cafe only had a few customer since it’s still early.
Yunho was back to his seat, decided to play with his iPad and let Changmin to finish his whatever business with the blondie.
“I’m sorry, Jaejoong-sshi.” Changmin sat down and gestured Jaejoong to take a seat too. But Jaejoong still stood in his place.
“No, thanks. I just want to say a few things to you.” His tone was cold. “If you don’t wish to be with Yoochun, I hope you can leave him from now on. Don’t come near him again.”
“I know. I’m sorry for all the things I’ve done, I didn’t mean to steal him from you. I know he’s yours. I know he loves you. I-”
“What? What do you mean?”
Changmin rolled his eyes. “Yoochun told me that he’s already had someone he loves. I know that he’s you. You’re his soul mate, you must be his boyfriend.”
“What?” Jaejoong’s eyes widened. “You... you think that I’m Yoochun’s boyfriend? The one Yoochun loves?”
Changmin only nodded.
Jaejoong shook his head. “No! No of course not! And... and soul mate only means best friend. I’m not his boyfriend. And for your information, I’m not a… gay. I. Am. Straight.”
Yunho snorted, “straight? Just look at your style.” He said with a mock tone, still playing with his iPad.
Changmin was able to stop Jaejoong who’s eager to punch Yunho. “Yah! I don’t fucking have business with you! So shut your fucking mouth!”
“Hyung!” Changmin glared to Yunho.
Yunho looked up, “what? He made you turn into gay, so he must be gay too!”
“No, he doesn’t turn me into gay, and I’m not a gay too, hyung.”
“But he said you kissed his best friend. That’s just... that’s gross, Min.” His face showed distaste.
“That was a mistake.” Changmin only looked at the floor when he said that.
“Okay. Okay if you think that was a mistake.” Jaejoong’s words made Changmin looked up. “It’s enough between you and Yoochun. So I guess it’s better if you never try to meet him again, Shim Changmin-sshi.” He glared at Changmin, then his glare moved to Yunho. After that he left the café.
After Yunho’s eyes following the blond haired guy left the café, he looked back to his best friend, eyes showing that he demanded explanation. “So? Are you…”
“I don’t know. I like him. No. But maybe. Maybe I like him, I don’t know.” Changmin shrugged.
This is the first time Yunho saw his best friend, the genius, the almighty Shim Changmin became this nervous, unsure and looked insecure and somehow lifeless. He sighed. “Tell-I… I don’t understand, Min-ah. How-how can you feel that kind of feeling towards man? I mean… how? You just asked me to find you a girl to date-wait, was that just…?”
“Actually, I wasn’t sure that time. I wanted to know if I still had desire to girls and I don’t want to be a gay too, hyung. I… I can’t. I just can’t. Me being gay? It’s a big no, isn’t it? But… now, I don’t think I can be with girls. My heart… I don’t know, my mind… he’s always filling my mind.” Changmin lowered his head, didn’t want to make eye contact with Yunho.
“But… but… how? When did you two meet? How can you… kissed… him?”
“We met in our high school prom night. He’s-”
“Prom? He’s from our high school?”
“Yeah he is. And he was so pretty that night. I thought he was a girl because he wore dress and his hair was long,” Changmin chuckled, “actually he dressed as girl.”
“What? That’s-”
“He’s a cross dresser, right. But he’s so pretty, hyung.” Changmin practically whined. “He’s… cute. When I knew that he’s actually a man, I was so angry. I wanted him to like me only to dump him again. But… it turns out that I really like him now. Unfortunately, he already has had someone he loves. And yeah, we kissed that day.” Changmin decided to tell Yunho everything, hoping that the latter didn’t spread it to his family because his family won’t accept it if they know that Changmin was a gay.
“Okay.” Yunho exhaled. “So… what about… you forget him and let’s find a girl to date with. I’m sure you can forget him. I won’t agree though if you’re being a gay. You can ruin your family’s image, Min-ah.”
Changmin nodded but he felt his heart was clenched by Yunho’s words, because to be honest, he hadn’t ready yet to forget Yoochun. But sooner or later, he had to do this.
“If he doesn’t love Jaejoong, then who?”
“Changmin!”
“Okay, fine hyung. I’ll forget him.”
.::.
Jaejoong came home and found his soul mate was on the couch with a bag of potato chips, watching his favorite drama.
“I told him not to come near you again, Chunnie.”
Jaejoong statement made Yoochun looked up. “Told who?”
“Changmin.”
Hearing the name automatically made Yoochun’s heart skipped a beat. “To what?”
“He’s not going to be near you anymore. It’s over between both of you.” Jaejoong flopped into the sofa, beside Yoochun. He took the remote but before he changed the channel, Yoochun was already snatched the remote from Jaejoong.
“What? Why did you do that? It’s between me and him.” Yoochun pouted.
“But, Chun… he’s a bastard! He even told me that he isn’t a gay, the kiss-” Jaejoong stopped. If he told Yoochun that the kiss was only a mistake, Yoochun would hurt. He remembered how happy Yoochun was because Changmin was his first kiss.
“The kiss, what?”
“The kiss... he didn’t tell me about that. But, Chun! You told me that he was going out with a girl. And his friend! He’s so annoying. So… just forget him, okay? I’m sure you’ll find a better man.” Jaejoong patted Yoochun’s shoulder.
“I… don’t think so. I never like any man other than him. But yeah…” he sighed, “I’ll forget him. I know we can’t be together. When I know that he was a chaebol*…”
Jaejoong hugged Yoochun whose face looked sadden.
Yoochun hugged him back. “I know… I know we can’t be together. I never hope that he would love me back.” Tears streamed down his reddened cheek and started to wet Jaejoong’s shirt. “My… my family didn’t like Shim family, and had warned me not to fall in love with a chaebol. But… but… When I saw Changmin two years ago, I can’t help it, Jae…” Yoochun fisted Jaejoong’s shirt and Jaejoong rubbed Yoochun’s back to make his best friend felt better.
“I… I didn’t wish to meet him in prom night. I never wished that he would ask me to dance with him. And end up like this.” Yoochun wiped his tears with the back of his hand. “I’m… I’m not ready yet to forget him, but I have to, right?”
“Yeah. Forget him.”
It was silent for a few minutes, they only hugged each other. Until Jaejoong pushed Yoochun away. “Oh, hey! I just remembered. My cousin, Junsu invited us to his Halloween party. Let’s go there and find someone better for you!”
Yoochun wiped his remained tears. “Really? A costume party? I’d love to!” He smiled and Jaejoong was glad he saw his best friend’s smile.
“Uh… do you remember Junsu? The one who admired you. He’s back from Japan and… he asked you first when I met him. I think he still likes you.”

“What’s wrong with you, Min? Are you in bad mood?” Yunho asked; he always knew if Changmin was upset.
“Yeah…. It’s… nothing.”
“Oh okay then. I just want to inform you about Soyeon. She’s ready for the date.”
“Who’s Soyeon?”
“She’s my friend, your blind date partner. So, are you free this Saturday?”
“Ah. Yes, yes, hyung. I’m free and please arrange it for me.”
“Okeydokey. I’ll tell you the details later!”

Yunho sighed. “I don’t know what’s wrong with you.” He paused as he sipped his orange juice. “Soyeon is just… perfect for you, don’t you think so?”
“I know. But we agreed that we couldn’t continue this. Soyeon understand about this, she said we didn’t have something called chemistry.” Changmin said before he stuffed his mouth with sandwich.
“So that means I have to find another girl for you, Min??”
Changmin swallowed and ready to take another bite of his sandwich but his hand stopped. “Soyeon and I know what’s wrong with me.”
“What? Chemistry?”
Before Changmin could answer that, his phone rang. With a groan because his breakfast time was disturbed, he fished his phone and furrowed his eye brows looking at the unknown number on the screen. He decided to pick it up.
“Hello?”
“YAH! SHIM CHANGMIN WHERE ARE YOU???”
Changmin almost threw his phone and Yunho looked at him with an eye brow perked up because he could hear the yelling from the other line.
“Who’s this?”
“It’s Jaejoong. Where are you now? I need to talk to you.”
“Oh, Jaejoong-sshi. I’m at a café near my campus. But… I have a class in…” Changmin looked at his wrist watch, “an hour.”

“And what’s your business? It’s my business with that Shim Changmin!”
“Of course it’s my business too since Changmin is my best friend!”
“You-”
“STOP IT, GUYS!” Changmin finally stood up.

Yunho snorted, “straight? Just look at your style.” He said with a mock tone, still playing with his iPad.
Changmin was able to stop Jaejoong who’s eager to punch Yunho. “Yah! I don’t fucking have business with you! So shut your fucking mouth!”
“Hyung!” Changmin glared to Yunho.
Yunho looked up, “what? He made you turn into gay, so he must be gay too!”
“No, he doesn’t turn me into gay, and I’m not a gay too, hyung.”
“But he said you kissed his best friend. That’s just... that’s gross, Min.” His face showed distaste.
“That was a mistake.” Changmin only looked at the floor when he said that.

This is the first time Yunho saw his best friend, the genius, the almighty Shim Changmin became this nervous, unsure and looked insecure and somehow lifeless. He sighed. “Tell-I… I don’t understand, Min-ah. How-how can you feel that kind of feeling towards man? I mean… how? You just asked me to find you a girl to date-wait, was that just…?”
“Actually, I wasn’t sure that time. I wanted to know if I still had desire to girls and I don’t want to be a gay too, hyung. I… I can’t. I just can’t. Me being gay? It’s a big no, isn’t it?

“If he doesn’t love Jaejoong, then who?”
“Changmin!”
“Okay, fine hyung. I’ll forget him.”

Jaejoong came home and found his soul mate was on the couch with a bag of potato chips, watching his favorite drama.
“I told him not to come near you again, Chunnie.”
Jaejoong statement made Yoochun looked up. “Told who?”
“Changmin.”
Hearing the name automatically made Yoochun’s heart skipped a beat. “To what?”
“He’s not going to be near you anymore. It’s over between both of you.” Jaejoong flopped into the sofa, beside Yoochun. He took the remote but before he changed the channel, Yoochun was already snatched the remote from Jaejoong.
“What? Why did you do that? It’s between me and him.” Yoochun pouted.
“But, Chun… he’s a bastard! He even told me that he isn’t a gay, the kiss-” Jaejoong stopped. If he told Yoochun that the kiss was only a mistake, Yoochun would hurt. He remembered how happy Yoochun was because Changmin was his first kiss.
“The kiss, what?”
“The kiss... he didn’t tell me about that. But, Chun! You told me that he was going out with a girl. And his friend! He’s so annoying. So… just forget him, okay? I’m sure you’ll find a better man.” Jaejoong patted Yoochun’s shoulder.
“I… don’t think so. I never like any man other than him. But yeah…” he sighed, “I’ll forget him. I know we can’t be together. When I know that he was a chaebol*…”
Jaejoong hugged Yoochun whose face looked sadden.
Yoochun hugged him back. “I know… I know we can’t be together. I never hope that he would love me back.” Tears streamed down his reddened cheek and started to wet Jaejoong’s shirt. “My… my family didn’t like Shim family, and had warned me not to fall in love with a chaebol. But… but… When I saw Changmin two years ago, I can’t help it, Jae…” Yoochun fisted Jaejoong’s shirt and Jaejoong rubbed Yoochun’s back to make his best friend felt better.
“I… I didn’t wish to meet him in prom night. I never wished that he would ask me to dance with him. And end up like this.” Yoochun wiped his tears with the back of his hand. “I’m… I’m not ready yet to forget him, but I have to, right?”
“Yeah. Forget him.”
It was silent for a few minutes, they only hugged each other. Until Jaejoong pushed Yoochun away. “Oh, hey! I just remembered. My cousin, Junsu invited us to his Halloween party. Let’s go there and find someone better for you!”
Yoochun wiped his remained tears. “Really? A costume party? I’d love to!” He smiled and Jaejoong was glad he saw his best friend’s smile.
“Uh… do you remember Junsu? The one who admired you. He’s back from Japan and… he asked you first when I met him. I think he still likes you.”
