The Cradle Robber
Their meeting was not impressive at all. Not even special.
He's just trying to get back at the Hapkido coach whom his little brother said 'a big bully'. He knew that his brother was just being a sissy, but couldn't tell it to his face. He didn't have the heart to. Besides, wasn't that what being a big brother all about? To protect and being the hero of his only sibling.
So he went to the dojo to peek on his brother and the said 'bully'. It took him only 2 minutes to confirm that yes, his little brother was a sissy but the coach was a meanie. Heck, did he have to actually kick Junsu like that?
Out of curiosity and (useless) pride as a big brother, he joined the Hapkido class as well.
He found out that Jung Yunho was a man with little speech but great charisma that brought him to be part of the national coach at the age of 30. He kept his eyes on the man and when opportunity came, he challenged him to have a one on one. The others looked at him as if he's going nuts, he just joined for 6 months. But the coach just smiled and said: "That's the spirit! I wish everyone has your guts."
Jaejoong didn't smile, he wanted Yunho to see him as a cool guy, unlike his brother. So he got ready, took his position, and waited for the start signal.
The next thing he knew he was lying on the mats, Jung Yunho's face was hovering an inch above him. He thought some parts of his body must be broken.
Kim Jaejoong was defeated in less than 5 seconds. And his lovely little brother, Kim Junsu, had actually quit Hapkido 3 months before and joined the tracks team.
~o~o~
Yunho knew that the boy was trying to get back at him because of his brother, he couldn't be more obvious. But he didn't think that Kim Jaejoong would continue to train although his brother had long gave up. He admired his strong will. And silently admiring his face, his skin, his silky hair, his... Gaaah! That boy's 10 years younger than him, for goodness sake!
When the kid chose him for a one on one he openly praised his guts and planned to not kid around with him.
He only made one movement, he swiped the boy's foot and pinned him to the ground.
The moment those eyes were looking at him, he lost his breath.
It was him who was defeated by the looks in the boy's eyes.
But no one needed to know that. It's his little secret. And Kim Jaejoong was too good to be true for someone like him.
~o~o~
It started on one rainy night.
They were training until late at night for the upcoming elevated level exam. Jaejoong had forgotten that he joined the class because of his brother, he really enjoyed Hapkido. Or maybe because Yunho was one of the coaches.
He stayed behind to help Yunho clean the dojo. It wasn't even something that he had to do, but the coach said "The dojo is a sacred place. This is where I learned about respect and strength. This is my way of returning my respect to something that has made me the way I am."
As he locked the place behind him, he turned around and offered, "It's late, let me take you home."
Jaejoong accepted the offer. And found a gaping Junsu at the doorstep when he opened the door. Yunho said bye and turned away. Jaejoong stayed up all night remembering the man's laughter as he told him some funny stories.
The walk home after training became a routine. The more they spent time together, the more differences between them that Jaejoong found out.
Jaejoong speaks a lot, but Yunho is a good listener.
Jaejoong came from a well off family, his mother owned some properties in Gwangju; Yunho had been supporting himself since he was 18, his parents died of illness.
Jaejoong likes to dance, Yunho hates crowds.
By the 20th time Yunho took him home (yes, Jaejoong counted them all), their conversation had been so comfortable that Jaejoong didn't even think twice to answer when Yunho asked him: "Would you go out with me?"
Just like when Yunho asked him if he would like to have dinner with him after training, Jaejoong replied quickly, "Sure, I'd love to!"
And Jaejoong realized what have they become only when Yunho kissed him goodnight before the man turned and walked away with a smile.
And Jaejoong wondered, 'So I'm having a relationship with him now?'
~o~o~
Yunho likes Jaejoong's big family. They're loud and full of energy. He'd been living by himself for far too long, he's happy that Jaejoong took him to his Uncle's birthday party celebration and met his extended family for the first time.
Jaejoong's mother still lived in Gwangju, so his Uncle and Aunt had been taking care of him and Junsu in Seoul. And he has interesting cousins as well, Changmin who's much younger but much taller than him, Yoochun who loves to tease Junsu the crybaby at every chance he got.
He sat quietly in the corner and watched the lively family chit chatted among themselves. He needed fresh air, so he stepped out for a while and took a deep breath when he heard people talking in the corner. Jaejoong and his Aunt.
Yunho didn't like to eavesdrop to people's conversation, but he kind of heard his name being mentioned, so he stayed still and listened carefully.
His smile grew as Jaejoong's Aunty kept praising him as a 'good man' and how he should thank Junsu for making him joining the Hapkido class.
As he was about the turn back and returned inside, his steps halted and his eyes grew wide as the Aunty asked his lover loud and clear.
"Are you sure he's single? He's 10 years older than you and too- mature for you? He's as old as your youngest uncle!"
Yunho rushed inside, took a seat back in the corner and tried to calm his heartbeat. He faintly heard Changmin asked him, "Can I call you by name? You don't mind, do you? I mean with you being much older than my cousin and all?"
And Yunho was seriously thinking if Jaejoong's family considered him as a cradle robber or just a plain pervert.
