The crowed calls out my name… They want me. They love me. They spent their hard earned money on me. I must please them with everything I have.
The music begins and the crowd roars. The lights go out just before I enter the stage. I can’t see anything but their glow-sticks bounce about the blackness. There’s a loud pop, and everything turns white. Suddenly I’m face to face with my fans. I can feel the banging base vibrate my heart. I raise the mic to my lips, and begin journey with them.
“U-KNOW TIME!”

“Yunho, that was great!” The staff congratulates me on another successful tour. They hug and laugh, pat me on the shoulder and wish me many more.
“Thank you. I couldn’t have done it without any of you.” I bow sincerely.
I really couldn’t have done it with out them, and for that I’m grateful. The last four months they’ve really become like my family. All this time they put up with me, and never complained. They always stood by my side during the good and the bad times.
To show my appreciation, I take the time to hug each one of them. Even if they don’t think it’s necessary.
“OPPA!!”
I break away from my hairdresser. I turn to looks at the little lady with the big voice. I smile ear to ear, and open my arms to her. She comes rushing over to me and nearly tips me over with her force.
“Tiff! What are you doing here?” I look at her, pleased to see my good friend.
“What do you mean?! I came to see your last show! You were absolutely AH-MAZING! You always are, Oppa!”
I see the glint in her eye. Her smile always makes everything extra special. She moves away slightly to give me the yellow flowers she’s holding. Everybody awes and gawks at us. I see flashes being taken. I hug her once more, and the flashes quicken. STOP IT! I think to myself.
“Thanks, Tiff.”
“You’re always giving me flowers, Yunho Oppa. Now it’s my turn!”
“That’s sweet of you. I’m glad you made it too!”
I grab her hand, leaving the flowers on the table and lead her outside. I see some eyebrows rising and some sly smiles just as we leave the room. She looks at me with wide, questioning eyes. I smile slightly and shrug my shoulder. Wasn’t really sure why I led her outside, just wanted to be away from everyone’s watchful eyes.
“It’s crowded in there.”
“yeah…”
“Listen, we’re going to have a big dinner party after this. I want you to come, if you’re free.”
She lights up, biting her lower lip.
“uhm, yeah! I have a show tomorrow morning so I can’t stay late, but it’s your last concert of the year. I want to celebrate it with you!”
“Great! Let me change out of these clothes then.”
The doors open and the staff members spill out, giggling and staring.
“Tiffany, You must come with us! We’re throwing a party for our man here!! Everyone is coming!” My manager says with a big grin.
“Of course! Wouldn’t miss it for the world!”
---
The entire company and many others turn out at the party, some whom I’ve never met before, but they look important so I don’t question anything. More importantly, most of my friends show up, I knew they would. There’s Donghae, which I haven’t seen for a while. I really miss him, come to think of it. We use to be inseparable back in the day. Now we don’t see much of each other anymore, mostly because of our tight schedule. There’s Tiffany, not necessarily my best friend, but I’ve known her since my trainee days. It’s always fun hanging out with her. Also, Kangta: My brilliant songwriter and producer. He’s young but he’s talented as hell. Then Junsu and Yoochun, whom I’ve also known from our trainee years, now they form a trio with none other than Jaejoong, my secret ex-boyfriend. There are no hard feelings, so he says, “water under the bridge”.
He’s still very close to me. I love him, no doubt, and I miss him sometimes, but according to him we’re property of the media. We have millions of faceless girlfriends and god forbid they ever find out we’re having affairs with other boys.
“JaeJoong, careful with those drinks. You wouldn’t want me to throw you over my shoulder, do you?” I smirk, only teasing… of course.
“Hyung, I’m not drinking much! You know this is nothing…” He licks the corner of his mouth and winks. I chuckle and shake my head, throwing his head back to take another shot.
We all laugh and converse amongst each other. Telling embarrassing stories from days during our trainee years, and scaring each other with tales of our first fuck-ups on stage.
“That moment comes to us all. You can’t tell me you’ve never forgotten words or choreography after two days of practice and zero hours of sleep! “ Donghae exclaims, shaking his head. Obviously this got him riled up.
“It might not be possible for you, but it is fore me! That hasn’t happen to me!” Tiffany rebuttals. She sort of looks excited to get a rise out of him. It’s pretty funny, though.
“Yet!” He counters.
“Don’t worry Tiff, you have a long career ahead of you. It’ll come.” I wrap my arm around her shoulder and give it a reassuring squeeze.
“Gee, Thanks!” She laughs.
“Yunho, I want you to meet Lee Sungmin!”
I turn back and see my manager, drink in one hand and the other behind a young man’s back. I’m not surprised. He always wants me to meet new people, “network is key, you see?” I remember him say. I’m sure this is why he was absent all evening, trying to spot the newest addition to the industry. I guess he found him.
I withdraw my arm from Tiffany, and stand up to great him. I smile at the man. He’s cute. Can’t deny that. With Jet-black hair, short on the sides, and the top sort of progress to long. His bangs are placed out of his eyes, and neatly to the side. He has soft, round features. Nice eyebrows, a perfect Cupid’s bow on his upper-lip, and brown, focused eyes. He’s thicker than most, but he’s small built. He comes just above my shoulder, and tilts his head up ever so slightly.
“Jung Yunho, I’m so pleased to meet you.”
He bows, as do I. He keeps his eyes on me, and I can’t help but wonder who he is.
“I’m pleased to meet you as well.”
“Yunho, why don’t introduce him to your friends? I’ll be right back.”
He pushes Sungmin towards me and disappears before I could answer. I can tell from Sungmin’s expression that he feels awkward to have been left with me, but actually I’m glad. Any chance I can get to find out more about Sungmin is welcomed by me.
He bites his lip and looks around nervously.
“uh It was nice meeting you, Yunho.”
I see him blush as he tries to get out of the situation. He turns to leave, but I grab his wrist. He looks at me with surprise.
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to meet the others?”
“I just don’t want to be a bother…”
“No, of course not! Come on, I’ll introduce you.”
I pull him towards the table where my friends are still debating.
“Hey, guys! This is Sungmin. Treat him well, okay?”
I turn to him and smile. He smiles back.
“Sungmin, hm? Any friend of our Yunho is a friend of the group.” Donghae announces.
“My name is Donghae”
“Aren’t you cute! My name is Jaejoong.”
“Hello, my name is Junsu and this is Yoochun. Nice to meet you” They both lower their heads in unison.
“I’m Tiffany, happy to meet you!” She gives him her cutest smile.
“Sungmin, of course! I heard good things about you. My name is Kangta.”
Sungmin gasps when he realizes who the man is. He immediately bows 90 degrees.
“Yes, thank you! I’m honored to meet you!”
I smile at his cute reaction, but from the corner of my eyes I see Jaejoong role his eyes and trying to hide a giggle behind his hand. I eye him and he mouths a “what?” at me. He can be such a jerk when he drinks, always making cheap jokes and crude remarks. I know staying here while he’s like this would be a bad idea. I come up with a better idea, one that will keep us out of trouble from Jaejoong.
“Sit down! Join us!” Donghae moves over to make some room.
I take Sungmins arm and start pulling him away. “Later, perhaps.”
“Where are you going?” Jeajoong interjects.
“I’ll be back, nosey!”
Sungmin doesn’t say anything until we reach the door.
“Where are we going?”
“Do you want to get out of here? This place is kind of boring, don’t you think?”
“uhm…”
He looks back at the party as if he’s trying to figure out whether to stay or take a chance with a stranger. He returns to me with a smile, and with that I know he made up his mind.
“C’mon.”

We drive into the city, not really sure were I was going but my apartment is near just in case he wants to go there. I play the radio softly, hoping it won’t interrupt his thoughts. He’s quiet, and I can’t help but wonder what he is thinking. His eyes are glued to the passing cars, not once taking his eyes away from them. But suddenly I hear his voice. I glance over, relieved to hear him.
“Yunho… it must feel good…”
“hm? What does?”
“Do you feel at the very top of the world? You just finished a very successful tour… It must feel good.”
I find it kind of odd that he brings this up now, but I answer with a habitual answer.
“It’s what I wanted all my life, I can’t ask for more.”
He then turns to smiles at me. “Is that so?”
I raise an eyebrow.
“mhm…”
He bites the corner of his plump lip, staying silent again.
“Are you okay?” I ask. Was there something more to his question?
“Yeah… Let’s go to you’re apartment.” He finally said.
---
I open the door to my apartment for the first time in months. Still the same way I left it, empty and cold. It’s dark except for the city lights seeping through the blinds. Shining in just enough to see my way to the small lamp by the couch. Just as I was about to reach for the switch, I feel a soft hand on my forearm.
“Leave them off…please.” He whispers close to me.
He’s close and I can feel his warmth radiating. A rush of excitement runs through my body, causing the micro hairs on my arms rise straight up. I’m not sure if this is his intention, but I’m afraid it might be too late. My questions are answered though, when he turns me around, and stares directly into my eyes, pressing his body against me. I know this is what he wants. Against all my thoughts and understanding, I cup his cheek and pull his mouth closer. I know others wouldn’t appreciate me kissing another man, but it feels good to nourish that part of me for the first time in years.
“Are you sure…?” I ask, but I already know he wants it as badly as I do.
“mhm…I’m sure. It’s okay…”
His whispers feels hot against my lips. I’m thirsty for more. I spin him round and as hard as it is, I peel myself from him. I hiss and lick my lips, tasting the foreign saliva in my mouth. Sweet. I hold his hand and take the young man into my bedroom.
“It’s cold in here, Yunho.” He shivers.
My hands move down his back, brining him closer. I take a tender earlobe into my mouth. I lick and leave little bites behind it, and a delicate whimper escapes him. I feel his heart pound in rhythm with mine, and I know he’s just as nervous as I am.
“Come here…” I whisper and lead to my bed, carefully laying him onto his back.
We take each other’s clothes off, finding it extremely hard to keep our lips away for even a second. We fumble and trip over our restraining garments, but it’s okay when we finally get it off. His soft, bare skin all over mine causes my body to react. My cock slowly finds it’s way up, wanting to discover the other at once.
Sungmin spreads his legs around my thighs wider and wider. My hard cock rubs against his. I then lick my fingers until they were slick, then I slip them between his legs, reaching down to find his hidden entrance. I linger around it for a moment, and watch Sungmin’s eyes fill up with anticipation. He takes short, shallow breaths and I can smell hints of alcohol. Maybe I should stop, but my body won’t allow it. I’m in the mercy of lust, and I can’t just stop. Besides, he hasn’t complained yet. In fact his eyes, and his moans keep insisting I go on. And that’s exactly what I do.
I slide my hands down his thighs and cup the back of his knees. I push them forward as much I can.
“Hold…”
I groan the command, and then take my hard meat and hold it up against his reddish entrance. I watch as sungmin clenches his jaw, and digs his fingernails into his flesh. I push inside him, soft at first but we quickly gain rhythm.
I don’t know how long we’ve been at it, but it must have been an eternity. Time stopped just for us, and all I know is my lover’s sweet smell filled every breath I took. And I know I could have done that forever.
