I love long comments ^^

The first time Changmin meets Jaejoong is at a train station, or rather an old shack that stands as a train station, a stop along the country side where the old railway runs. Changmin is all of 17 years old, dressed in designer clothing that reeks of him being the young master of one of Seoul's well to do families, and of running away from home. Jaejoong is 19 and the perfect image of what Changmin's mother would not approve of as a friend, or even mere acquaintance to her son.

Ripped jeans wound tightly across thin legs, chunky black boots, a scarf flung carelessly across a carefully stylish ensemble of a jacket and shirt all finished off by dangling silver crosses on his ears and a head of tousled blonde hair. He catches Changmin's eye, captivates him in fact, the very moment he stumbles gracefully into the old shack and slides himself onto the bench, cup of steaming coffee from the outside vending machine in leather gloved hand.

("Hey."

"Huh, o-oh, he-hey."

"You okay?"

"Y-yeah."

"How long have you been sitting here for?"

"Fo-four hours."

"Holy fuck, no wonder your teeth are chattering. Here drink this."

"Bu-but thats yours."

"Don't worry, I haven't touched it. It isn't drugged either."

"Bu-"

"Seriously, take it - you need it more than I do."

"Th-thanks."

Changmin feels gloved hands pull his out from between the area between his thighs and the wooden bench where they were clamped tightly in between and sighs with relief as the paper cup of hot dark liquid is slid into his hands. He raises it to his lips and nearly tilts the whole cup down his throat only to hear a chuckle that comes from the blonde boy in front of him.)

-

Changmin is an intriguing creature to Jaejoong, like someone out of a television drama or comic book. He is something Jaejoong has never seen in his life, nothing like anyone he has met, and Changmin thanks the Gods for making him so uniquely interesting to Jaejoong. He almost jumps for joy as Jaejoong reaches into the pocket of Changmin's pants after they both get off the train back at the main city stop and keys in a number with lightening speed before pressing down on the call button, an action which causes the device from Jaejoong's own pocket to start projecting out a noisy rock song.

("Now you have my number, and I have yours. I'll call you soon."

Is all Jaejoong leaves Changmin with as he shoves the phone back into the younger boy's hands. He waves, grins and proceeds to filter into the city crowd with a shout of 'stay interesting' on his lips. Changmin smiles and grips the phone tightly in his hands. He isn't sure why he is so happy, but something tells him that feeling this way towards another man isn't all that normal, but Changmin doesn't care, doesn't care because all he can think of it Jaejoong.)

-

Jaejoong doesn't call, but he does send a message after a week, and Changmin is elated when his phone skips across his table during one particularly boring class in school, flashing with the promise of excitement. Jaejoong claims a coffee from Changmin and they set a date for the next afternoon. Changmin styles his hair different the next day before he heads of for school.

("Well now young master Shim, you look different today."

Is what Jaejoong comments with a laugh as they meet and Changmin grins.)

-

Jaejoong equates to change.

("What are we doing here."

"Getting you a new look, I think you'll look good with a shorter hairstyle, maybe slightly brown, and of course we have to change your dress style..."

Jaejoong rambles on as he pushes the teenager into a chair, Changmin expects the bill to run up to a whole lot that day, because with what Jaejoong has done to him, it should. But he is surprised when he adds up his expenses for the day. It doesn't even amount to half of what his mother spends on his clothing and hair, but he looks so much better than he used to. More edgy, cool, captivating - almost like Jaejoong is. He likes it.)

-

Changmin learns that Jaejoong lives away from his parents with Yunho, his best friend and house mate, along with Yoochun and Junsu, the latter of whom is Jaejoong's cousin, younger by a year. He also finds out that Jaejoong is in his second year of University, aspiring to be one of those 'swanky private bankers' as the man himself puts it.

While, Jaejoong finds out that Changmin is the only child, heir to third largest business empire in Asia, with the typical cliche 'my parents are bastards who care only for themselves but hate each other to death' story. Jaejoong is sympathetic when he hears Changmin's story, so he hugs Changmin right after and the two stay that way for a whole ten minutes after Changmin's initial attempts at struggling away fade with a loud twack from Jaejoong's hand.

-

("What the hell is this."

"If your mother heard you swear like this I bet she would have a bottle of bleach down your throat."

"Oh yeah, try this, fuck you Jae. Now what in the bloody World is this?"

"This is a Typhoon, it consist mainly of gin, champagne, and lime juice, try it."

Jaejong pushes the glass at Changmin, but manages to smack the boy across the head before he manages to taste it. Jaejoong smiles sweetly as he mutters something about that being payback for being rude to him because no matter what he is still older, the master and turns back to the rack of drinks stacked sky high. Jaejoong works at a bar, part time, three nights a week to pay for rent and such. In addition to teaching Changmin how to cuss like a pro, along with giving him exposure to both sarcasm and wit which seems to sit well with the younger, Jaejoong also teaches him how to drink illegally in the time he has before the bar opens. )

-

Days turn into weeks, and weeks into months, it is almost a year since the day at the train stop and Changmin is close to being 18.

("You're turning 18 soon."

"As if I wouldn't know my own birthday."

"When did you become such a smart mouth."

"I learnt from the best."

"Sometimes I miss the days when you were innocent, shivering cold and stumbling over your words."

"Fuck you."

"Why you little bastard."

Jaejoong leaps up from the sofa in his apartment they both have collapsed on to watch television and reaches over for the younger boy, ready to hit him. Changmin only laughs and grabs a hold of Jaejoong's hands, causing the older to scowl and curse loudly, he never remembered Changmin to have such large hands, or even be so tall for that matter, it isn't fair that he never had that extreme a growth spurt is what Jaejoong thinks as he decides to aim a kick at the younger instead. Yunho watches from the kitchen where he stands with a glass of water and laughs while shaking his head at the common sight, he is Jaejoong's best friend, but Changmin and Jaejoong are perfect together.)

-

Jaejoong declares that he is going to help Changmin celebrate his birthday just the two of them after loosing badly in the play fight.

("Just you and me, the two of us."

Changmin feels warmth surge in his chest.)

-

The day comes and the two wind up on the rooftop of Jaejoong's apartment block after a dinner of roasted meat at a road side store, something Changmin has never experienced before, but what he concludes beats eight course meals prepared by five star chefs hands down. They are both slightly buzzed from numerous bottles of soju, but have a plastic bag of beer in between them both.

-

"Just five more minutes to being another year older."

"I'm catching up with you."

"I'm still older."

Jaejoong reaches over the bag between them and tries to hit the younger with a hand, it isn't an act of abuse, but something that has become their trademark when they both are together, the constant 'one touches' they inflict on each other. He doesn't expect it, but Changmin grabs onto his hand, and Jaejoong ends up toppling over, the top half of his body landing on Changmin's chest. They are face to face, the younger boy with his back on the ground, it is a scene straight out of a movie or romance novel and Jaejoong's lips twitch into a lopsided smirk.

"Whats so funny."

Changmin doesn't stammer at all anymore in situations in which he found have. Confidence is what he has gained, and lying, being smooth and flawless is what he has learnt from Jaejoong, but his heart hammers away in his chest. Ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump.

"Nothing much, I was just thinking..."

"Thinking about what?"

"Nah, nothing, you did run away screaming like a girl if I told you."

"Try me." a sneer, challenging.

"You said it."

"Now."

"I was wondering what you would do if I kissed you."

Changmin stares at Jaejoong who smirks as the sentence tumbles out only to chuckle deeply.

"Forget it, you are freaked out, look at the way your eyes widened, pretend I never said anything."

Jaejoong shrugs, laugh still on his lips, as he starts to push himself up. He is laughing, brushing it off, but something in his eyes doesn't quite go, it is the first time Changmin sees such.

Changmin is dumbfounded, dumbfounded, shocked at the thought. But he recovers fast, and as quick as a flash, he pulls Jaejoong back down. Their noses bump, but their lips find each others in a careless, clumsy fashion as Jaejoong falls onto Changmin.  Jaejoong tastes like alcohol and the burnt smoke from their earlier meal, but Changmin finds the taste sweet. His lips curl up into smirk tinged smile and Jaejoong's amused laughter is what Changmin feels, not hears, feels through his body.

-

Changmin moves in another year later because Jaejoong's place is closer to the University. He complains when Yoochun and Junsu have taken their public displays of affection too far, he bitches about Yunho forgetting to close the door when he showers. Changmin goes on dates with Jaejoong although the younger refuses to call them such himself, they continue drinking, keep up with their one touches and petty cuss word filled arguments, they have sex, they kiss but at night when Changmin lays in the same bed as Jaejoong, when the house is quiet and the only sound Changmin hears is Jaejoong's steady breathing, he feels content, the happiest he has ever been in his life. Because this is just what love is.
