Yunho and Jaejoong eloped from their respective families at the age of 18. They lived off the money that they managed to bring while looking for a job that suits each of them. 6 months later they took the newborn Moonbin who was left at a bathroom stall at the restaurant they were eating at. On Moonbin’s 1st birthday, Jaejoong left them both for a misunderstanding and returned to his rich family; all thinking that Yunho did the same thing. He got married 5 years later and divorced without a child after 10 years of marriage. Yunho was devastated but refused to return to his family. When Moonbin was 6 he lost his left arm from a work accident and his 5 years younger stepbrother, Shim Changmin, who took his position in the family gave him a prosthetic to replace it. 9 years later the rebellious 15 year old Moonbin met his ‘other father’, Kim Jaejoong and decided to try to live with him. Jaejoong who just found out about the truth tried to get back to him by using Moonbin’s un-adopted status and gained custody over the boy. Moonbin who wanted to have a better teenage life persuaded Yunho to return to Jaejoong so they can live happily ever after. Yunho rejected and told him to never return to his house as a Jung again.
Will Yunho & Jaejoong ever get back together? Will Moonbin grow up and realize what’s best for his future? Will Yunho return to his family and live off life as a rich businessman again?
Prologue
It was a hot summer night, Yunho and Jaejoong tried to finish their dinner at the small restaurant as soon as possible since it was too hot inside and the owner didn’t seem to care to put a fan in there - considering all the customers were drenched in sweat.
If it was 6 months ago, they won’t even dream to step in this kind of place. But they can’t complain much since their savings are thinning and they haven’t even found a job to survive for the next 3 months. So yeah, as long as they’re together they’ll able to endure the hardships. Or so they thought but lately they’re having little arguments every now and then. If it’s not about food then it’s about work or how spoiled Jaejoong was… or what a jerk Yunho has been… though it didn’t really lessen the amount of sex they were having. It’s just a life of teenagers.
Yunho was slurping on the last bit of his soup when a scream was heard all over the restaurant. He choked but Jaejoong was fast enough to give him water and pat his back to ease his throat. He coughed for awhile before they directed their gaze at the entrance way to the bathroom like everyone else did.
A woman was standing under the frame, gasping for breath and trying to say something. The restaurant’s manager calmly asked her from his seat by the door, “Whas’up lady? The pipe broke again? Damn, I gotta complain to the company, ck..” and nonchalantly reached out for the phone but looked like the lady was finally come to her senses.
“Jesus, it’s more than just a broken pipe! There’s- there’s- there’s a baby in the toilet! And looks like his umbilical cord is still connected to him! Call a doctor or-or a police… anyone!”
There’s was silence for a few seconds then Yunho instinctively jumped from his seat and ran to the bathroom, leaving Jaejoong on his seat, mouth agape and the manager running after Yunho.
Unlike his other classmates in junior high - that included the love of his life, Kim Jaejoong - Yunho paid attention to the sex lesson in school that left the girls blushing and giggling; and the boys more curious to have a taste of heaven on earth for a second. He adores his baby step-brother too, Changmin and always wished that one day he’ll have children of his own… though now it seems impossible after running away with another guy he vowed to live with for the rest of his life. Pregnancy was also discussed in the lesson, despite him being a man, he paid attention assuming that one he would also have to take care of his wife in that condition. So he knew how weak a newborn is.
The moment he arrived and stood by the toilet, the lady was right. There was a baby in the bowl, naked and still dirty with his mother’s blood and whatever else … if he’s correct, the baby was just being born in that toilet not long ago. It was troubling to see the umbilical cord still intact to the baby, what’s bothering him more was that the baby didn’t even make a sound nor seemed to be breathing.
He could hear the manager was frantically speaking to someone on the phone, most probably the police station. And a little crowd was crouching behind him trying to get a glimpse of the unfortunate little creature. He gently touched the tiny creature in front of him and could feel a little movement on his chest. So he did what he saw on the movie that he accidentally watch with Jaejoong on the cable. He held both of the baby’s feet and turned him upside down. He turned around since he heard some gasps behind him. And then with concentration he patted the baby’s bottom a couple of times, not too hard and not too soft. And the baby’s first cry into the world was heard from the toilet inside the small restaurant.
Shouts of relieve and handclaps were heard all over the place… the lady who found the little guy was now crying next to the manager. As Jung Yunho held the baby in his arms, he said hi to the little creature that would be his life, “Hello, little baby… You have a loud cry don’t you… say hello to the world…” And as he raised his face, his gaze was met with the awkward look from his young lover. “Jaejoong, look… he’s alive.” He smiled… and put his attention back to the baby in his arms… If only he could bring him home now.
The sound of siren was heard outside and stopped. The police must’ve arrived. The crowd parted to let the officers come close and the first question that he received was, “Are you the father?” He didn’t know what came over him but he calmly replied, “I wish I were.”
