Summary: Yoochun slammed his hammer against the stairs over and over again till he saw it
Yoochun slammed his hammer against the stairs over and over again till he saw it, there was it hidden under that one annoying stair he hated most of all
Yoochun threw the hammer aside and reached his hands; the small wooden box was lying there peacefully, dust covered, and waiting to be held, to be removed from its secret hideout
Taking the box yoochun noticed how light it was, something moved in it, he heard it as he held it to his chest and blew the dust off it coughing a little as he inhaled some of it
The box was pretty, yoochun decided. Now, he had blew some of the dust off it he could see the handwork on it, the dragons and the roses curved on it made it so pretty and so expensive, for sure
'Fix the stair, will you?' yoochun mumbled to yunho as he went to the bank and sat down laying the box on the table
Jaejoong looked about to faint again, yoochun had ruined the staircase and filled the place with dust… what else could happen now?
'Come here baby, I'll fix it for you and it'll be as good as new' yunho assured jaejoong as he walked to the storage and came back with some wood, long nails and other tools
Jaejoong trusted yunho, he trusted his man. But, how was he going to be able to fix such a mess? He wasn't sure
'Minnie… jae hyung looks pale…' kibum whispered softly into changmin's ear
'He'll be fine once yunho hyung finishes the stairs and comes back to kiss him'
Kibum blushed at that, he wasn't so ready to all the PDA. The idea of how blink he was, not to see it before, made him frown and bury his face in changmin's shoulder
'I brought you some of your hanboks so you could change into, honey'
Kibum only nodded
'Kibum' yoochun looked up from the chest to the boy and didn't care he was ruining the couple's precious moment or that changmin was looking at him with death glares in his eyes
Yoochun looked at kibum ignoring his annoyed, annoying lover and spoke:' I know I asked you this before, but as people tend to suddenly remember things around here I'll ask you again, you never had a bamboo leafs braided doll, have you?'
Kibum shook his head:' I never had any bamboo doll…the only doll I had was made out of cloth, mom sewed it for me and stuffed it with wool…'
Yoochun nodded, so the doll wasn't kibum's. He didn't have it so this only meant that someone left it there, someone who came looking for kibum, probably?
A loud noise was heard now as yunho nailed some woods into the broken stairs, yoochun was never able to think in all the noise, he just frowned and sat there thinking about his lover boy and waiting for yunho to finish all this hammering
'W…' kibum hesitated ' who was the one dead?' he finally managed to ask
'It was someone else from the jerks. The ones that were hired to kill yunho, I mean. The last one I believe'
Jaejoong widened his eyed, he had heard them. He rushed to yoochun at once forgetting all his anger about him ruining his little inn
'What happened? Someone is after Yunie? What's going on?'
'Relax. I told you it's over now' yoochun sighed ' the most important thing now is to find out where the uncle is and get him. He's not going to rest before he turns your little lover boy to a cold corpse'
Eyes wide with fear jaejoong just acted on impulse and just rushed to yunho, he claimed the stairs and hugged him tightly from behind, his hands shivered as he held the man and tears filled his eyes
'Jae?' yunho blinked, he turned around in his lover's hold and blinked, he reached his hands to circle jaejoong's slim waist and frowned
'You won't die… he won't touch you…I'll protect you…I'll…' jaejoong began shivering and sobbing
Yunho sighed; it didn't take a genius to know what's wrong with his lover. He looked at yoochun with murderous eyes and smiled at jaejoong
'Look here love, I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying with you for a very long time so relax. We're going to live together and grow old together. No one will change this, ok?'
Jaejoong nodded his head, he allowed yunho to swipe him off his feet and hold him in his hands as he walked down the stairs. Yunho seated jaejoong on the bank in front of yoochun
'Now, rest here for a short while until I finish the stairs for you love'
Jaejoong nodded, he didn't take his eyes off yunho as he worked. Kibum and changmin sat beside him keeping him company. Yoochun took his chance which everyone busy and opened the box
There was a scroll inside, wrapped together and held wrapped by the red ribbon around its middle. Beside the scroll there was a stamp, a very old stomp
Yoochun unrolled the scroll and began reading,
He read:
If you're reading this scroll it means I'm dead. I just pray that you're worthy of reading it. In this scroll I left the secret I couldn’t write on the old family's paper of secret. Thins secret was to stay hidden and since he knew the ranch better than even I did I had to keep this secret somewhere else
You found the secret hideout; this means you already know a lot about me, knows whom I trusted to keep it with. I hope that you are or with my son, Jung Yunho
Jung yunho… didn't it all begin with a Jung yunho? Only, then it was a Lee yunho not Jung. I found that out from old Han shi… he told me the story and now I know why he's after me all the time. He said he wants his rights back. I told him he's insane. You can't just go around and ask the villagers to worship you or give you their lands! You just can't!
He didn't head my warnings, he said he's to take things to his own hands and that I'm unfit to my name… we're not Jung, he kept saying, we're Lee. We own the area
Who said he was one of us anyway? I told him that one night. He went insane…this talk about him being my half brother, who's he for me to believe his word? He's just the maid's son… how could I believe him?
He vanished after it and no one knew anything of him. I knew he was hiding somewhere nearby. In the ranch itself, maybe, he kept appearing in front of my bed at night holding a bloody knife in hand. I would try to chase him but he would somehow vanish… everyone thinks I went insane or something, I didn't
I began searching everywhere around the ranch… then I remembered, Han shi told me that the ranch and the whole area in fact is a part of the old castle, the only part remaining still is the ranch, the rest was demolished over the years
Old castle… old castles always had secret doors and passageways underneath them… what if the ranch, the only part of the castle remaining had some hidden passageways itself? He could've found them; he must be using them now, what if the entire village had hidden passageways underneath it? That's why he keeps hiding… that's why I can't captor him. But, I will. Even if it was the last thing I would do… I'll captor him
But as I hide this box I hide the most precious treasure out family have, the old stamp which indeed proves we're the only people left from the noble Lee family which once owned and ruled the land. It's what he needs to prove his words and take the villager's lands away… even though I tried but I can't destroy it, so I decided to hide it from him and hopefully it would remain hidden…
Yoochun smirked, this made sense now. How else would people die unexpectedly? How else would the killer escape every time? Yoochun just wondered if yunho's father and uncle were the only ones to know those passageways, or did the other killer know them too?
