Chapter Twelve: Meetings
YunHo and JaeJoong walked into the Miracle Bar. YunHo held the door open as JaeJoong slipped inside the silent bar then following in suite. They walked over to where HanKyung was wiping the tables and HeeChul was just sitting there watching.
“Yah, HeeChullie, shouldn’t you be helping him?”
HeeChul and HanKyung looked up and saw JaeJoong and YunHo. JaeJoong sat beside HeeChul while YunHo started grabbing a towel to help HanKyung wipe the tables.
HeeChul arched an eyebrow, “Can’t I be asking you the same question?”
JaeJoong rolled his eyes, “So, how’s life with Hannie?” changing the subject.
“It’s been great.”
“And with ShiWon…?” JaeJoong asked as he saw the other two on other side of the bar.
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time now, we broke up.”
JaeJoong smiled at his friend’s decision, “That’s good.”
“Yeah, I’m a lot happier now, who would of guessed, me; Kim HeeChul would fall in love; and with him of all people.”
JaeJoong chuckled, “I remember last year, you swore that you would never go out with him. But now, you two are so…cute together.”
HeeChul raised an eyebrow, “Cute?” he then turned to HanKyung and YunHo that were coming over to sit next to them, since they were done.
“Guess what JaeJoong called us?”
HanKyung sat down and interlaced their fingers, “What?”
“JaeJoongie called us cute.”
HanKyung brought their interlaced fingers up towards his lips, and gave HeeChul’s fingers a peck.
“See, you two are so~ cute.”
YunHo grabbed JaeJoong’s waist and pulled him onto his lap, “We can be cute too JaeBoo.”
He then nuzzled the crook of JaeJoong’s neck. JaeJoong then turned his head to the left and kissed YunHo’s cheek. The two grinned at each other.
“So why did you come so early anyways?”
JaeJoong and YunHo then turned and stared at the two.
“We wanted to talk about DongHae.”
“What about DongHae?”
“…have you seen his arms?”
HeeChul and HanKyung thought for a minute, “Come to think of it, we haven’t. He’s always wearing long sleeves.”
“Is there something wrong with his arms?”
“I…I saw them last time when he was washing his hands, he didn’t see me. They…they had bruises and scars all over them.”
HeeChul’s and HanKyung’s eyes widened in shock, “Are…are they self inflicted?”
“No. That’s what I thought at first, but then I saw some bruises that were aligned like fingerprints. It was like someone grabbing his wrist, and very hard at that.”
“We got to help him then!”
YunHo and JaeJoong nodded, “We know but how would we confront him about it, it’s not like all four of us can just go up to him and say ‘we saw bruises and cuts on your arms. You should leave the person who’s doing this to you.’ He obviously doesn’t want us to know.”
“But still…”
“I know! Let’s find another person for him, so he’ll have a reason to leave that person.” HanKyung suggested.
“That’s a good idea! I have such a smart boyfriend.” HeeChul cheekily grinned and wrapped an arm around HanKyung,
“But...who are we going to find? It’s not like we can hold auditions.”
Ring Ring
HeeChul looked at his phone and slid it open, “Yeoboseyo?”
The three men looked at HeeChul in curiosity and watched as his face lit up with each sentence spoken. HeeChul then ended the conversation and stared directly at the three.
“Well we have our candidate now.”
The three looked at each other then back to HeeChul, “Who?”
“My long-time-no-see friend just called and he just arrived at Seoul. His name…Kim KiBum.”
JaeJoong mouthed an ‘O’ “Isn’t that your childhood friend? How’d he get your phone number?”
“…That I’ll ask him later. But he’s coming here right now. He’s the perfect man for DongHae.”
“Ok…he better be. We don’t want DongHae to be with another whacked up person.”
HeeChul reached over and slapped JaeJoong’s arm, “Yah! He’s fine! Though, he’s a bit on the boring side.”
“Well if he’s considered boring according to Rella, he must be normal then.”
HeeChul raised his arm again, before it was caught by HanKyung.
All four of them heard a creak and saw a man with short light brown hair wearing a white collar T-shirt with black jeans walk into the club. He looked at the four men, and smiled a bright smile showing off his white teeth. “Hi. I’m looking for Kim HeeChul.”
“KIBUMMIE!!” HeeChul ran up to his childhood friend and slung an arm around him, pulling KiBum towards the others to sit down.
“This is my childhood friend Kim KiBum. This is YunHo and JaeJoong and my sweet loving boyfriend HanKyung.”
The three waved hi and KiBum did a little wave back.
“Uh…so HeeChul you said something about a person called DongHae?”
“Yup, first thing first, do you have a girlfriend?”
“…No.”
“A boyfriend?”
“No…”
“Well then you’re perfect! Your new boyfriend is officially Lee DongHae.”
KiBum blinked a couple of times “What?”
JaeJoong used a fist and knocked HeeChul on the head, “You idiot. They don’t even know each other, and suddenly you tell him that his boyfriend is DongHae. He has to at least see him first and get to know him and if he likes him or not. Then~ we can say he will BECOME his boyfriend.”
HeeChul pouted and rubbed the spot JaeJoong hit, “Fine, fine do it your slow~ way.”
-*-*-*-*-
DongHae was walking around town; YehSung had kicked him out of the house saying he’s going to have some company over, not wanting him around.
DongHae wasn’t watching where he was going, he looked on the ground. He hit someone and lost his balance and started to fall backwards. The man quickly reached out and gripped DongHae’s wrist and pulled him forward so he wouldn’t fall. DongHae regaining his balance looked at the man; he looked around his age. He then saw the man’s eyes widened and he looked down toward his extended arm. He saw his loose sleeve go up revealing his bruises. DongHae quickly pulled his hand back from the grasp and started turning and running away, but a grip on his shoulder held him back, turning him to face the man again.
“Wait.”
DongHae looked at the cement, not wanting to meet the piercing gaze of the man.
“I know we just met but I want to help you. I…I myself have been in this situation, and I really want you to get out of it. Let’s sit down at a cafe and talk?”
DongHae bit his lip.
“I know being in this situation it’s hard to trust others.” The man let go of DongHae’s shoulder and reached out for his hand, he gave a reassuring squeeze. “But it wouldn’t hurt to find a new friend, neh? My name’s EunHyuk.”
For some reason he didn’t feel scared or wince at the squeeze, instead he felt like he could trust him. For some reason EunHyuk gave off the same feel or security like YunHo did. He looked up and stared into EunHyuk’s eyes, in the pool of brown he saw reassurance and honesty. DongHae did a little nod, he silently whispered, “M-my name’s DongHae, Lee DongHae.”
The two walked towards a café and sat down. EunHyuk order for both of them green tea. The two just talked, and got to know each other better. DongHae looked at the time and saw he had 20 minutes before his shift.
DongHae smiled, “I have to go to work now. It was nice to meet you EunHyuk. I’ll keep in touch, I’m very grateful. Thank-you.”
“I have to go now too, see you soon DongHae.”
The two walked out of the café and walked opposite ways.
-*-*-*-*-
JaeJoong and YunHo were still in the club. They were dancing on the dance floor, since they convinced HanKyung to let JaeJoong have the night off. The two grinded into each other amongst the sweaty crowd; JaeJoong put his arms around YunHo’s neck pulling him closer as YunHo held onto his waist tighter. The two stared into each other’s eyes as they moved with the music. YunHo slowly tilted his head and closed his eyes while leaning in for a kiss. JaeJoong eye’s fluttered shut and returned the kiss with full force. YunHo stuck his tongue out licking JaeJoong’s bottom lips seeking entrance which JaeJoong gladly gave. Their two tongues battled for dominance inside JaeJoong’s wet cavern, making them both moan.
JaeJoong broke the kiss and rested his forehead on YunHo’s, “I love you, Yunnie.”
YunHo smiled, “I love you too, JaeBoo; always.”
The two leaned for another passionate kiss.
At that moment DongHae came in to the bar, the first thing he saw was the couple kissing on the dance floor before they were covered by the crowd. DongHae stared at place where the couple was with a confused face, Why…why don’t feel anything? Why don’t I feel jealous like last time? DongHae shook it off and walked into the back to get changed.
KiBum that was sitting on one of the tables looked at the man that just went into the back. For a reason he felt his heart skip a beat and butterfly’s flutter in his stomach.
“So, what do you think?”
KiBum made a little jump, “HeeChul, don’t scare me like that!”
HeeChul ignored KiBum’s statement, and asked again, “So? How do you think of him?” He pointed to the door where DongHae went in.
“He’s DongHae?”
HeeChul rolled his eyes, “No, he’s my dad. OF COURSE HE’S DONGHAE!”
“He…he looks good.”
“Good as in hot, or good as in just good-I’m-not-that-interested? …Or look good as in Sex god good?”
This time KiBum rolled his eyes, “Fine. He’s hot.”
“Dang, I thought you were going to say like a sex god.”
“You idiot, I’m not like you, always thinking of sex.”
“I DO NOT think of sex all the time, I’m no sex whore.”
KiBum just stayed silent since this conversation wasn’t going to get anywhere.
“Hey he’s out! Go talk to him! I’ll go introduce!”
HeeChul dragged KiBum towards the drink counter forcing him to sit down, “DongHae!”
DongHae smiled, “Hi HeeChul Hyung.”
“I’m here to introduce you to my friend.” He pointed to KiBum, “This is Kim KiBum, and this is Lee DongHae. Now I got to go and serve people, have fun!” HeeChul winked to KiBum then ran to the other side of the room.
KiBum stuck his arm out for a handshake, “Nice to meet you, DongHae.”
DongHae smiled, “Nice to meet you too, KiBum.”
JaeJoong and YunHo got off the dance floor and returned to their table. They sat beside each other as JaeJoong leaned his head on YunHo’s shoulder.
“Hey, isn’t that KiBum?”
YunHo looked where JaeJoong was pointing, “Well I think our plan is succeeding so far.”
JaeJoong nodded, “…wait there’s a guy going towards them, he looks angry.”
YunHo and JaeJoong stared at each other “Do you think.”
JaeJoong nodded, they quickly got up and walked towards the three men, also signalling HanKyung and HeeChul.
When they got there, they saw KiBum holding onto one of DongHae’s wrist while he was behind KiBum and the other man glaring at DongHae. The man quickly grabbed DongHae’s wrist and yanked him out of KiBum’s grip. DongHae whimpered in pain. “YehSung…”
YehSung’s grip tightened, “What did I say about flirting with other men?”
DongHae whimpered. YunHo then walked in front of the man, “You’re hurting him, let him go.”
YehSung letting DongHae’s hand go, facing YunHo. The other four men quickly went to DongHae to inspect his wrist.
“Well, well, well. Fancy meeting you here Jung YunHo.”
YunHo frowned, “Do I know you?”
YehSung smirked, “So you have forgotten already? It’s me YehSung. And I guess you forgot about my boyfriend there, your best~ friend from University?”
YunHo’s eyebrows furrowed.
“You see this DongHae-ah? Your Yunnie had forgotten all~ about you.” YehSung spat when he said ‘Yunnie’ then held a fist and swung, connecting with YunHo’s head.
YunHo fell down and hit his head hard on the hard floor, JaeJoong eyes widened and quickly rushed to YunHo’s side and shook him. “Yunnie-ah! Yunnie, come on answer me. Yunnie.” JaeJoong glared at YehSung and quickly stood up, HeeChul held JaeJoong back as HanKyung pointed to the door, “You’re not welcome here, please leave.”
YehSung smirked, “I wouldn't want to be in this filthy bar anyways.” He quickly grabbed DongHae from KiBum’s embrace and dragged him towards the entrance of the club. He turned around and looked at the glaring JaeJoong, “You know. If I was you, I wouldn’t be glaring right now and check on you Yunnie. He looks pretty pale.” With that he walked out of the club dragging DongHae along.
JaeJoong’s eyes widened and quickly went back to YunHo, he lifted his head onto his lap then stared at HeeChul, “Quick, Call the ambulance…h-he feels cold.”
HeeChul quickly went and JaeJoong hugged YunHo into his chest. “Yunnie.” He sobbed soaking the crown of brown hair.
