The last scandal of my life
7daywar
I don't really own the plot or the characters. Lol.
Heavy r.
Yunho is a businessman and his wife Tiffany is pregnant with their twins, so he decides to have their butler Changmin go out and find them a housemaid (even though they already have one, Jessica). He finds a poor Noodle Shop worker by the name of Kim Jaejoong (who has no idea what he's just signed up for) and then things get a bit crazy as Yunho decides that he wants Jaejoong, Jessica finds out she's pregnant with Yunho's baby, Changmin makes things worse, Tiffany becomes a scorned woman, her mother Taeyeon wickedly gets involved and Jaejoong wonders what the hell is going on. Based on the Korean movie 'The Housemaid'.
author's note: this story is based heavily off the re-made version of 'the housemaid' a movie with a bizarre and completely out of place ending that i'm still scratching my head over hours later. it was madness. this three-parter will follow it closely, though with my own little twist and yes, no one is going to die at the end of this, not even Jessica. that ending was just beyond retarded.
The last scandal of the my life, part one
Yoochun pressed his hand down on Jaejoong's shoulder blade. The other man had been awake, just staring off at nothing with his head on Yoochun's chest. He could hear the doorbell ringing, or was it someone knocking on his door? But he didn't really want to get up and answer it.
"Someone is at the door," Yoochun states the obvious in a voice thick with sleep. Jaejoong sighs, turns away from him and goes to answer it, surprised to see a tall man standing on the other side.
Jaejoong watches the other man carefully as he sips on his tea.
"You seem to be very qualified. I asked around and they all say you're very good with children. You have a natural motherly aura about you that comforts them, even though you're a man."
Jaejoong shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He didn't really know what to say. Shim Changmin looked as if he'd walked straight out of fashion magazine from overseas. He was tall, handsome and so well put together Jaejoong was amazed that it wasn't going to be him that he was working for.
Changmin set his cup of tea down a bit daintily before locking eyes with Jaejoong. "The master's wife is pregnant with twins, she could give birth at any moment and we're going to need the extra hands around the house. So, how soon can you begin?"
Jaejoong quit his job at the Noodle Shop that same day. Yoochun wishing him good luck and to not forget to visit him (Jaejoong missed him already). Changmin led him up the walkway to the mansion he would be working at for who knew how long (he really was good with children, almost too good to be nearly thirty and not have any of his own). Changmin opened one of the double doors and let Jaejoong enter first.
As he stepped out of the walkway and into the living area he saw the wife laid out on her back, her stomach massive against her small frame. There was also another, much thinner woman that was helping her who looked as if she would rather be doing anything but this. Her mouth tight as she leaned over in front of the lady of the house and bent her leg to the side at such an awkward angle that it should have hurt.
"That's enough Jessica," the lady of the house snapped, holding out her arms so that the taller woman could pull her up into a sitting position.
Jaejoong observed the thin woman standing beside him. Her face appeared blank as if she were dozing in and out of focus or sleeping with her eyes open. She was pretty, but she was pretty in a way that Jaejoong didn't really like; a dangerous type of pretty that made him a bit wary of her. Her hair was long, black and fell in straight lines down her back.
The thin woman took notice of Jaejoong staring at her so she tilted her head to the side and returned his stare, an inquisitive look on her face. Changmin was busy wiping the lady of the house down; she had started complaining about the sweat on her body and ordered Changmin to get some water and a clean towel to wipe her off.
"What is your name?" She whispered to him.
"Kim Jaejoong... may I ask what is yours?"
"Jung Jessica, I've been working here for about five months. Why are you here?"
Before Jaejoong could answer her rude question Changmin cleared his throat and walked over to stand beside him.
"Miss, this is the new housemaid, Kim Jaejoong. I know he's a man, but I assure you that he is more than qualified for the job."
Tiffany looked over at Jaejoong who made it his mission not to look her directly in the eye, he bowed to her. She eyed him for a second and then smiled.
"He's very good-looking; almost looks like a woman.... I've always wondered what it would be like to have a man around who could cook and clean. I hope you do a good job Jaejoong, I as well as my family are counting on you."
That was a lot of pressure and it was only his first day! Jaejoong nodded his head and bowed. Changmin then told Jaejoong to follow him to the room he would be sleeping in, and also to give him his uniform.
"You are to wear these at all times, understood?" Changmin explained laying out a pair of black slacks and a fresh white collared button down shirt. "Also, make sure you tuck your shirt in. The master doesn't care about such things, but the lady would have a fit."
Jaejoong nodded his head while staring down at his uniform in rapture. "I've never worn anything so nice, even if it is just a uniform."
Changmin gave him a pitying stare before ordering him to get dressed and quickly, the little master would be home soon.
"Young Master!" Jessica exclaimed rushing down the walkway hurriedly as the little boy climbed out of his valet. He walked straight pass her. The look on her face thunderous as she stared straight ahead, though when she turned around she had a terrible fake smile on her face that disgusted Jaejoong. Changmin nodded at the Young Master who stopped next to him and stared up at Jaejoong, seeing as how he'd never seen him before.
"Did father get another maid? She's prettier than the other one." Jaejoong blushed and bowed to him, even though on the inside he was boiling at his gender being read wrong. Changmin looked like he wanted to laugh, but didn't.
"Young Master this is Kim Jaejoong the new housemaid. He's going to help your mother and father with the twins when they're born." Changmin sounded so rehearsed Jaejoong almost felt sorry for him. He bowed to the Young Master again, who walked pass him. Changmin motioned for him to follow; even though the Young Master was Jessica's responsibility.
Jaejoong hurried to catch up with the little boy. "Would you like to greet your mother?" Jaejoong asked, suddenly at a loss on what to do or say. The boy didn't seem to have any interest in getting to know him or seeing him as anything but the help.
"I will as soon as I have washed and changed."
Jaejoong thought that was weird. Jessica had caught up to them at some point looking like she wanted to put a knife in the little boys back as they came to his room, which was bizarrely right next door to Jaejoong's own room. The Young Master closed his door on both Jessica and Jaejoong's faces.
"The little monster," Jessica whispered harshly under her breath before turning to Jaejoong sharply. "You deal with him; I'll go help Changmin-shi get started on dinner." Without waiting for Jaejoong to accept she walked off, the short heels she wore clattering along the floor loudly. Jaejoong sighed and walked around to his room, opening the foggy glass door to peer in at the Young Master who had already removed his uniform jacket.
"I don't need your help Jessica-noona!" He shouted angrily. Jaejoong looking a bit bewildered lowered his head a bit. The Young Master blinked his eyes when he saw that it was Jaejoong and not Jessica. "I don't need your help either, I can do it myself."
"I'm sure you can, I'm sorry to have bothered you." Jaejoong hovered by the half open door for a moment just in case the eight year old changed his mind. He then closed the door all the way and walked off.
"How do you like the new housemaid Yunji?" Tiffany asked her son over dinner.
"I like her more than Jessica-noona and I think she likes me too." Tiffany didn't know whether to be amused or not.
"Jaejoong is male Yunji. Hurry and finish your food you father should be home soon."
Jaejoong had been placing platters on the table during their discussion, his ears going red at being mistaken for a woman again. Jaejoong bowed to them and retreated back into the safety of the kitchen where Changmin was eating mussels. A hoard of leftover food scattered neatly over the marble countertop. Jaejoong wasn't sure if he should join Changmin in eating or just watch him stuff his face. After awhile Changmin decided to help him out with that decision.
"I don't normally share my food, but since you're new, eat, otherwise they'll throw it all out and there is nothing I can't stand more than wasted food."
Jaejoong smiled at him and joined him in eating the mussels. He hadn't eaten anything since arriving so he wasn't going to complain. They ate in silence for a while before Jaejoong decided to start up a conversation.
"How long have you been working here Changmin?"
"For quite a while, it's a suck-ass job, but it pays well and I live in relative comfort. I want to quit, but haven't quite worked up the nerve. I've been here since I was eighteen."
That surprised Jaejoong. Changmin noticed his surprise and smirked.
"The master of the house, he's my older brother."
Jessica was standing by the door, Jaejoong beside her and Changmin on the other side facing Jessica. The master had finally returned from work; Changmin leaned forward to open the door for him, Yunji running out to greet him. The master, Jung Yunho, laughed and lifted his son into his arms.
"Did you do well in school today Yunji?" The boy nodded. "Have you been minding your mother?"
Changmin bowed to him, Jaejoong and Jessica following suit. Yunho placed Yunji back on his feet and gave Changmin a hard look, the other avoiding his eyes and taking his overcoat. He then walked off without so much as glancing in Jaejoong or Jessica's direction.
Jessica handed him a glass filled halfway with red wine as Yunho un-did the buttons on his shirt and leaned back into the cushions of the couch. Jaejoong stood over by the door next to Changmin, not sure on what he should do.
"Go and greet the master," Changmin coaxed pressing his fingers into Jaejoong's lower back and pushing him forward. Yunho glanced over at him, watching the paler man as he shuffled over and bowed to him.
"I am Kim Jaejoong sir; I've been brought in to help with the twins once they're born." Yunho nodded his head, still watching him carefully, shrewdly. He then let out a short laugh.
"Sit, I think it's only the proper thing to do to welcome my wife's helper warmly. Would you like a drink?"
Jaejoong declined even though he would have liked nothing more than to partake in a glass of wine, or two... or three. Yunho sipped at his wine boredly unable to take his eyes off of Jaejoong. Changmin and Jessica becoming mere background foliage as the two talked idly, though it was more of a one-sided conversation with Yunho doing most of the talking.
"You really look like woman Jaejoong," Yunho voiced softly his eyes turned away, his lips ghosting over his glass of wine.
Jaejoong noticed rather quick that neither Tiffany nor Yunho really interacted with each other much. Of course they kissed and greeted each other fondly as married couples were opt to do, but he just found their relationship oddly distant. For example they were all standing outside (Jaejoong didn't understand why they had to see Yunho off to work and home from work like he was a King or something and not a businessmen) to see Yunho off to work as was the usual. He ignored Changmin, Jaejoong and Jessica entirely (was it Jaejoong or was Jessica's eyes burning with a smoldering ire at being ignored?) and bent over to ruffle his sons hair and wish him a good day at school. Then he straightened his back and instead of kissing his pregnant wife good-bye, like a normal husband would do, he just smiled at her awkwardly and left.
This cold parting didn't seem to bother Tiffany as she smiled brightly waving him off, then turned and told Changmin that she was hungry so make her some breakfast. It just baffled Jaejoong. Changmin made eye contact with him before walking into the house, silently telling him to follow. Jaejoong picked Yunji up and smiled into his face.
"Are you hungry too Yunji-ah?" Jaejoong asked kindly. The boy nodded giving him a shy smile.
Jaejoong turned back to look at Jessica surprised that the other woman was still standing there, staring off at nothing.
"I want to take a bath," Tiffany announced once Jaejoong had entered her and Yunho's room. Her shirt was pulled up exposing her belly and she looked like she wanted to crush someone's nuts. Jaejoong just prayed it wasn't his.
"Miss, I'm sorry, but shouldn't Jessica be doing this?"
"Are you going to go against my orders? I want a bath and I don't want that woman near me." Tiffany stood up awkwardly, then wobbled her way over to the bathroom which was adjacent to the bedroom. Jaejoong helped her. "You run my water while I get un-dressed, and don't look so embarrassed, have you never seen a pregnant naked woman before?"
I haven't actually, and I have eight sisters. Jaejoong thought to him-self, but didn't dare say it out loud as he turned his back and ran the water, filling it with bubbles. Jaejoong went out of his way to make sure his eyes didn’t stray to Tiffany's body as he helped her into the bath so that she wouldn't trip and crack her head open in an attempt to do it herself. Tiffany let out a sigh of bliss as she submerged herself in the hot water. While she soaked she told Jaejoong to wash her hair, which he did all the while trying to stop his hands from trembling.
Tiffany was now in a robe, Jaejoong brushing her short hair dry as it fell around her shoulders. She was looking a bit sick and Jaejoong really hoped that she didn't throw up, because he didn't want to be the person who had to clean it up.
"You should clean out the bath, my husband should be home shortly and he always likes to bathe after a long day of work." Jaejoong just nodded his head.
"You didn't have to greet me," Yunho said stiffly to Changmin as he entered his home, Jessica standing off to the side. Changmin didn't say anything as Yunho handed him his overcoat without sparing him a glance and walked toward Jessica who boldly looked into his face. "Don't you have something to clean? What are you doing just standing around, waiting for me like a puppy?" He walked away from her, missing how red her cheeks became after such a dismissal.
"You've been working here for how long?" Changmin asked walking toward Jessica who now had tears in her eyes. "Five months, and you still haven't learned your place. Do you think you're special because my brother is fucking you?" He handed her Yunho's overcoat.
"Here, put this away, and try to act more professional from now on. It just may save your life, keep you employed and happily fucking my brother." And with that said he walked off, smirking when he heard Jessica let out a muffled scream of anger.
Jaejoong couldn't believe he had had to endure giving the lady of the house a bath. It wasn't like he didn't like her, compared to Jessica she was surprisingly kind to him, but it just didn't seem right for her to be married and pregnant in have another man see her naked body so openly and without shame. It made him feel sick inside. Jaejoong rolled up his sleeves and pant legs and began work washing out the tub, finding the tedious task oddly pleasing.
Yunho entered the room loosening the buttons on his shirt, Tiffany rising to greet him with a smile.
"Welcome home dear, did you have a good day?"
They kissed, a chaste kiss that Yunho pulled away from much too quickly for Tiffany's liking. He cracked his neck, sighing. Tiffany pouted at his lack of affection and sat back down to regard herself in the mirror. Yunho walked over toward the bathroom, his ears catching the sound of someone singing. He saw that it was the new housemaid, busy getting his bathtub ready for him.
Jaejoong tensed when he realized that he was being watched, and almost fell into the bathtub when he saw that it was Yunho staring at him in not Tiffany. Jaejoong stared back for a second, before turning away and picking up the cleaning supplies with wet and slippery fingers. Yunho just tilted his head to the side, not looking away. Jaejoong bowed to him on his way out, his cheeks flushed. Yunho watched him depart (with his wife none the wiser), a small smile on his lips.
Jaejoong stared tiredly up at the ceiling, as he laid on his bed later that night. He was experiencing one of those moments where he was too exhausted to even sleep properly, but that was mostly because he couldn’t get Yunho's eyes out his mind. Why had he been staring at him like that? It was almost like he was undressing him with his eyes and ravishing his body. I feel like I've been raped... Jaejoong thought somberly to him-self.
"Jaejoong-hyung," he heard Yunji call him from the opposite room.
"Yes?" Jaejoong answered, not too keen on getting up. The boy didn't respond so Jaejoong hauled his body out of bed and moved the foggy glass door aside to peer in at Yunji who was lying in his bed, a teddy bear hugged close to his chest. "Young master, did you want something?"
Yunji nodded his head. "Could you leave the door open a little bit?" Jaejoong looked surprised and pushed the door a quarter of the way to the side and then halfway when the boy didn't look satisfied.
"Good-night, Yunji-ah." Jaejoong whispered with a smile before retiring to bed.
"They’re going on a camping trip?" Jaejoong asked while he and Changmin made breakfast the following day. Well, Jaejoong had made it, Changmin had just watched and then pointed out where everything should go and how much to put on this and that. He was drinking a glass of wine and looking entirely too sophisticated and snobby for his own good.
"The master is only doing this because the lady keeps complaining about them not spending enough time together, and it's not a camping trip. There, two shakes of pepper."
Jaejoong did as he was told. "Then what is it?"
Changmin just glanced over at him.
"Take it to the master."
Yunho was dancing, unaware of Jaejoong pushing the fancy glass door to the side and walking over to the tray table on the far side of the room to place his breakfast on it. Jaejoong should have left soon after that, but he couldn't help but be captured by the other's powerful dance moves, or how great his built body looked while doing so. Yunho turned around and locked eyes with him, taking the breath right out of Jaejoong's chest.
He bowed quickly and backed out of the room, missing the smirk Yunho was giving him as he walked over to dig into his breakfast.
"He's decided to take you along with him, huh?" Jessica asked as she walked into Jaejoong's room uninvited, he was in the middle of packing his meager belongings for a weekend stay at Yunho's winter home out in the woods.
"It's not like I want to go," Jaejoong said carefully. "I'd much rather stay here and help Changmin out around the house."
Jessica stared at him, as if trying to gauge whether he was lying or not. She then walked toward him, Jaejoong taking a step back when she got to close for his comfort. Jessica grabbed his arm though and held him in place, leaning in toward his right ear.
"I should tell you to be careful, since that is where the master seduced me, but since you’re a man I don't have to worry about you. Consider yourself lucky, being a man he can't, neither does he want to take advantage of you."
Jaejoong's brow had drawn inward at her words. He couldn't even understand why she was even telling him this, but it certainly explained why she always looked one tick away from going off whenever she and Yunho happened to be in the same vicinity. Jessica left after that, and all Jaejoong could do once she was gone was watch the open doorway with a feeling of anxiousness welling up inside of him.
The trip was long and when no one was looking Jaejoong relieved him-self in the snow on the side of the road. He carried the bags up the slope to the winter house as the family of three (or five counting the twins) walked on ahead him. Yunji glancing back at him every once in a while to make sure he was there. At the winter home Jaejoong was mostly left alone as the family bonded and spent time with one another.
He'd gone swimming with Yunji on the first night there. Jaejoong hadn't really wanted to get wet, but he couldn't very well say that. He took off his shirt and slowly got into the water with Yunji in helped him float while Yunho and Tiffany stayed inside in the jacuzzi, pretending to enjoy each other's company.
Jaejong ended up staying in long after Yunji had returned to the jacuzzi with his parents, sighting he was cold.
Yunho placed his hands over Tiffany's thighs and positioned her over his cock. She was riding him backward, her forehead having broken out into a sweat as she rode him. Yunho looked as if he were in a painful sort of pleasure as Tiffany leaned forward, and then complained about him going in to deep. Wasn't that the point?
"I think we should stop," Tiffany suggested, her motherly instincts kicking into gear as she worried about this hurting the twins. Yunho looked a bit irritated, but settled for Tiffany sucking him off as fair compensation.
Jaejoong was still up later on that night surfing the internet. He was missing Yoochun, and hadn't had a chance to talk to his best-friend since becoming a housemaid. It didn't seem as if he were doing much, but Changmin as well as Tiffany managed to keep him so busy during the day that he was too tired to even have a short phone conversation with Yoochun at night. Jaejoong wondered if he would ever be able to make time to see him.
A shadow fell over his form and he gasped when he saw that it was Yunho, slightly sweaty and wearing a pair of black boxers that hung a bit low on his waist, so that Jaejoong got a clear view of his line and some of his pubic hair. Yunho was holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a glass in the other. Jaejoong sat up, pushing his lap top to the side. Did he want him to pour the wine for him? Could this family do anything on their own?
But that wasn't what he wanted. Yunho poured a little wine in the glass and handed it to Jaejoong who took it with much trepidation. He figured that Yunho wanted him to drink it, but why?
"I..."
"Drink, I won't ask you again."
Jaejoong could feel his heart palpitating madly in his chest as he drunk the wine down in one gulp. Yunho poured him another glass and he drunk that one in one shot too. He was feeling a bit light-headed and he wasn't even a light-weight. It was just that so many different emotions were going through his mind, and he couldn't for the life of him get Jessica's confession out of his head. Jaejoong didn't believe for a second that Yunho wanted to sleep with him, he was a man after all, but at the same time he couldn’t help but think: had this been how Yunho had seduced Jessica, by first getting her drunk?
"You have nice skin, milky white, almost like snow. A nice body too." Yunho sat down on the edge of the pull out couch Jaejoong was lying on. "I can't get you out of my mind," He admitted, pouring him-self a glass of wine and drinking it out of the same glass he had forced Jaejoong to drink from.
"Sir, I..."
Yunho looked at him, and anything Jaejoong was going to say died in his throat at the passion he saw in the other man's eyes.
"I've never wanted to sleep with a man before, and I've never wanted to sleep with anyone as badly as I want to sleep with you." Yunho took another sip of his wine, looking un-phased by what he had just said. Jaejoong couldn't keep the utter surprise off his face. "You can't deny me, so make this easy for yourself and let me take you."
