JAEJOONG

Jae turned the water temperature up. With hands on the wall, he leaned into the shower spray. Water ran in rivulets down his back. The heat did little to relax his muscles.
God, what a mess.
How could he have ever let anything come between him and Yunho?

---

3 years earlier ...

Jae sat on his bed, one knee bent, one hand idly flipping through a celebrity magazine. His toes clenched into the cotton of his bed spread.

Someone knocked on his door.

“Enter.”

Ferdinand entered with a bow. “Pardon me, Master Jae,” he said with his slight Spanish accent, “but your father would like to see you in his office.”

“I’ll be right there.”

Jae stood and pondered barging into his father’s office dressed as he was in low slung jeans. Better not make things worse; nothing good ever came out of being called to the office. Jae went to his closet. He selected gray trousers and a white button up shirt. He slid the jeans off and then smirked at his reflection. How about this? Walk through the whole house in nothing but his boxers. Maybe if Heechul was here to tell him to do it he would.

He dressed quickly, slipping on loafers and a tie just to be more presentable. He traversed the corridors and stairways without really thinking about them. He could find his father’s office blindfolded. His mind was on Heechul and hoping that he’d get there earlier than midnight.

Ferdinand was waiting at the office door. He knocked, and then entered.

“Your son is here to see you, Mr. Kim Yoojoong.”

Jae walked past him and went to the middle of the office. He briefly noted the presence of Mr. Park Yongchan, and then looked at his father. He stayed on his feet.

“Jaejoong,” his father began, and then motioned to the other man. “You remember Mr. Park Yongchan.”

Jae turned and bowed low. “Of course. Greetings, Mr. Park Yongchan.”

“Hello, Jaejoong.”

“There’s going to be a dinner in a few weeks. The usual families will be there. We will have a special presentation that night and announce your engagement to Park Yongchan’s daughter, Soonya.”

Jae stopped breathing. “Excuse me?” he said before he could stop himself.

His father looked at him sharply. “Is there a problem?”

“What if I don’t want to be engaged to Soonya?”

“What’s the meaning of this Mr. Kim Yoojoong?” Mr. Park demanded.
Jae turned to the man and bowed again. “No offense to your daughter, Mr. Park Yongchan. You know we’re good friends, but I’m not interested in marrying her.”

“Is there another of your young female friends you’d rather be married to?” His father’s tone was careful.

“No, sir. I can honestly say that girls don’t really do it for me.”

Jae fought back a large grin at the utter look of astonishment on his father’s face.

“This doesn’t concern what does it for you,” his father finally snapped. “You will marry her.”

“I refuse.”

“Then suffer the consequences. You’re dismissed.”

Jae turned smartly and left. Consequences? What? Was he going to drag him to the altar and force his mouth to say I do?

He pulled his phone from his pocket and sent a text to Heechul telling him to come over sooner. He’d get a good laugh at this, and then Jae would show Heechul again why there was no way that he’d want to marry a girl.

A soft knock sounded on his door at about ten thirty. Jae jumped from the bed and padded barefoot across the room. He was wearing just his jeans again. He flung the door open and his breath caught at the vision on the other side. Kim Heechul was fantastically good looking, with soft skin, deep brown eyes and a jaw line that just needed to be stroked. He wore a plain white t-shirt, black trousers and red slip-on loafers.

Jae grabbed the front of the t-shirt, hauled him into the room, slammed the door, slammed Heechul against it, and crushed their lips together.

Heechul grabbed his shoulders and pushed him away. All he did was raise his eyebrows, but Jae knew it for the reprimand it was.

“Sorry,” he said and ducked his head.

“What are you in such a good mood for?” Heechul asked.

“I told my father off today.”

“What the hell for?”

“He expects me to marry Soonya, and I told him I wasn’t interested.”

“Again, what the hell for?”

Jae stopped. “What do you mean? I don’t love her.”

“Since when was any marriage based on love? Marrying Soonya would be perfect. Tying your families together. And that bank account? You’d be twice as rich.”

Jae scoffed. “What do I need more money for? And what about us?”

“Us?”

“Yeah, us. This.” He gestured to their bodies pressed together.

“Why would this stop just because you’re married?”

Jae shook his head and stepped back from him. “I’m not going to be unfaithful-”

Heechul laughed. “Are you kidding? How oblivious are you? You think your parents are faithful? You think mine are? It happens when you marry for status.”

“Well, I’m not going to marry for status.”

“Oh, so you’ll marry for love?” Heechul shook his head. “That’s just stupid.”

“I love you. Is that stupid?”

Heechul didn’t answer. But the pitying look he shot Jae and the shake of his head were enough.

“This isn’t love, Jae. This is called having fun. I know I’m marrying Yoojin.”

“But Hee-”

“Look, Jae.” Heechul sighed. “You know I love you, but as a friend. Just like I love Siwon and Donghae and Eunhyuk. We’re all friends.”

“Donghae and Eunhyuk love each other.”

“Donghae and Eunhyuk are crazy, but they’ll marry a girl just like we will.”

“I won’t.”

“Don’t be stubborn about this.”

Heechul pulled their bodies back together. “Just do what your father says, Jae. It will make your life easier. And trust me, I have no intention of ever stopping anything with you.”

“So don’t marry Yoojin. We have enough money to make it on our own.”

Heechul laughed. “Yeah, right. I think not.”

Jae struggled out of his arms and turned his back on Heechul. He heard Heechul step closer and jerked away before he could touch him.

“I won’t do it, Hee.”

Heechul sighed again. “Let’s go to bed. I’ll make use of that new little toy I bought you. I’ll take your mind off it for the night, and then we’ll deal with it in the morning.”

Jae spun around. “No. To all of that. Just leave.”

“Jae.”

“Just leave.”

They stared at each other. Heechul shook his head and muttered something like “drama queen” under his breath. He started to undress. Jae shut his eyes on the sight.

“I know you want me,” Heechul whispered.

Jae shook his head. “Not like this, I don’t.” He took a deep breath, opened his eyes. He spared one glance at a boxer-clad Heechul and then stormed out of his room. There were plenty of other rooms in this house he could sleep in. He slammed the door on Heechul calling his name.
