[Junsu’s POV]
DING DONG
Ugh. I just sit down here and there’s already someone on my, okay, OUR door. I get up lazily and walked towards the door.
I opened the door and widened my eyes at something or rather, someone, who standing there smiling widely at me.
"Bummie!!" I immediately pulled him into a hug tightly.
"Y-yah, Suie.. I know you missed me and everything, but please don’t hug me too tight! I’m suffocating here!!" He said as he tried to push me off. I let go of him and grinned. I let him in and we settle ourselves in the living room where I sat just now.
"Sorry. I’m just too happy to see you! When did you come back from New Zealand?"
"A few weeks ago. Oh and here’s your favorite strawberry cake."
I smacked him playfully on the shoulder and took the cake and place it on the table. "Yah! Why didn’t you tell me? You want me to get heart attack? I have enough problems already.." I look down on my lap as I said the last sentence. I can feel he is staring at me.
"Suie.. Are you married to Jaejoong-hyung?"
"You know Jae, Bummie?"
He nods. I give him ‘how-did-you-know-him’ look.
"I met him once at your house remember? You were the one who introduce me to him. And also, now, I work for him."
"You work for him?"
"Yeah. At first, I also didn’t know it was Jaejoong-hyung’s company."
"Th-then.. why didn’t you tell me?"
Kibum turned serious and face me. "Suie.. you haven’t answered my question yet."
I looked down again and play with my fingers. It’s my habit when I nervous or scared of something. Kibum noticed this and take my hands and squeeze it lightly.
"Suie.. You know I’ve always been your best friend. You know you can tell me anything. I want to help you."
I know that. I’ve always known that. Kibum has been my best friend since high school along with Eunhyuk. I give him an assuring smile and hug him before letting go again. "Bummie-ah, I-I.. I don’t know what I’m doing right now. Yes, it is true that I married Jae. But the thing is.."
I couldn’t complete my sentence when suddenly my phone rings. I give him an apologetic smile before standing up to pick up the call. "Yoboseyo?"
"Su babe. Hi."
"Yunnie.."
I look at Kibum and saw him widened his eyes. I mouthed ‘I’ll-tell-you-everything-later’ to him. "Yunnie-ah.. can you call me later? I’m a bit busy right now. You’re also working, right?"
"Yeah, but I missed you so much, Su.."
"I missed you too.."
"Then I’ll call you later, okay? Bye, Su. Love you."
"Bye. Love you too."
I hung up and sighed. I tried to calm myself down because when I turned my back I have to explain everything to Bummie. I sat down next to him again. "Bummie-ah.."
"What the hell was that, Suie? You’re still dating that guy?"
"Bummie.. Don’t call Yunnie ‘that guy’, all right? And yes, I’m still dating him."
"But you’re married to Jaejoong-hyung, Su. Did hyung even know about this?"
"Bummie-ah.. I have to tell you the whole thing. Jae knows about this and in fact, it was himself that told me not to break up with Yunnie."
"What?! Are you kidding, Su?!"
I shook my head slowly and sighed again. "No, I’m not. Jae and I married because of our grandfathers. They forced us. So this marriage is a forced one. It’s not like we’re in love with each other."
"But he is in lo-" Kibum immediately stop at whatever he was saying and covered his mouth with his hands. What was he trying to say just now? About Jae?
"Bummie.. what were you saying?"
[End of POV]
[Kibum’s POV]
I shook my head furiously with my hands still covering my mouth. Shit! Why did I have to blurt out something as important as that! Now Suie is asking me! What should I say?! Oh, right. I shouldn’t say anything.
"I want to tell you badly, but I’m not the person who should tell you that."
"What is it?"
"As I said, I’m not the one who should tell you. You have to ask Jaejoong-hyung himself."
"Jae?"
Realizing Suie won’t let go of this matter, I tried to change the topic. "Anyway, so tell me why Jaejoong-hyung let you date HIM?"
Well, Suie told me I can’t call Jung Yunho, ugh, how I detest that name, with THAT GUY so instead I used HIM. I saw Suie sighed for the nth time.
"We both know that this is a forced marriage. At first, of course I felt guilty about dating Yunnie when I’m legally married to Jae. But Jae told me it’s okay for me to date Yunnie because he doesn’t want to take away my happiness. He said that he already took my happiness away by our marriage, that’s why he let me date Yunnie."
Now it’s my turn to sigh. How dense could this guy get? Can’t he see that Jaejoong-hyung was hiding his feeling all these time? Even though I only met Jaejoong-hyung once, but I could see his eyes and his action towards Suie was full of love. How come he still doesn’t realize that? I guess he’s blinded by that guy. Gosh, I hate him so much.
[End of POV]
Kibum got up from his seat. Junsu followed.
"Suie-ah.. do you know what kind of person is the worst?" Junsu shook his head and stared at his best friend again. He’s waiting for Kibum’s next words. "A person who was too blinded by love and never realized someone who truly care for them."
"Bummie-ah.. what do you mean? Are you.. referring that to me?"
Kibum didn’t answer. He glanced at the strawberry cake on the table. Junsu noticed and looking at the cake and back at Kibum.
"Do you know why I bring that cake for you, Suie? Yes, I know that strawberry cake was your favorite, but then that was not the gift that I want to give you. I want to give you this."
Kibum took Junsu’s right hand on his and put a CD. Junsu gave him confuse look.
"Do you remember, that Eunhyuk used to like taking pictures and record every moment that we’ve been going through, right? This CD contains pictures and videos of our high school years. Oh, there’s one video during that one time me and Eunhyuk was introduced to Jaejoong-hyung when he visit your house. You should check that one out. And there’s a memo on the CD.."
Junsu cut him off. "Why are you doing this, Bummie-ah? What are you trying to say?"
Kibum turned and pointed the cake on the table. "That cake… was from Jaejoong-hyung. Not me. You USED to like strawberry cake. It was your favorite, before you met HIM, and soon you figured out that HE hates strawberry cake and you immediately stopped eating them and said that you hate everything that HE hates."
"Bummie-ah.."
"I didn’t want to force you or anything. I just wanted to open your eyes and look at your surroundings. Don’t only fix your eyes at one person."
When Junsu was about to say something, Kibum went to the door and put on his shoes. "I’m going now, Suie. I’ll see you again later. Ah, if you ever need anything, you can come to me and my door will always be open for you."
Kibum turned around to give Junsu a little hug before letting go and walked out the door. When the door was closed again, Junsu was crying.
___________________________________________________________________________
[Jaejoong’s POV]
I walked into our house and glance at the clock hanging on the wall, it said 2 a.m. God, I’m so tired. Our company has a lot of problem because the models weren’t good enough for the advertisement. Now, I have to look for ANOTHER model and select them out myself. I don’t want to rely on those who work under me anymore.
I walked into the living room and threw my bag on the table in front of the couch. When I was about to sit on the couch, I realized that there’s someone sleeping on it. It’s dark, since the lights were off and the only light that was on was in the hallway, so I can’t see the person’s clearly.
I bent down to see the person’s face. I was telling myself, it couldn’t be one of my maids, since they are aware that they’re going to be fired on the spot if they did. So I was thinking of only one person. Junsu.
And yes, I was correct. It was Junsu. He was curled up and hugging the teddy bear that I gave him on his 19th birthday. I remember Junsu was ignoring me for 2 days for giving him that bear because he doesn’t want to be treated like a kid. I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw him shivering a little. It’s almost the end of November, so the temperature was a quite low.
I wanted to go to my room to get some blanket for him, but I was too tired to do that. Instead, I took off my jacket and slowly put it on him to cover him. I take his hands onto mine and warming them up by blowing on them. Too tired to stand, I sat on the floor, but still keep my hands on Junsu’s and rub them together to make them warm. I look at his face and smile. Before I realized, I was fast asleep.
[End of POV]
[Junsu’s POV]
I woke up feeling the sun hitting my face. I adjusted my eyes to my surroundings. When I was about to rub my sleepy eyes with my hand, I felt something-or rather someone, holding me back. I look down and saw it was Jae. He was sleeping so peacefully and his sleeping face looks so innocent. I never saw this side of Jae before. Well, come to think of it, I never saw Jae sleeping before.
As I was deep in my thoughts, I saw the figure beside me shifting a little. So I close my eyes again and pretending to sleep.
Jae took his hands away from mine, and suddenly I felt really cold. The warmness that Jae gave me is now gone. Jae brushed my bangs away and then kissed my forehead before heading out of the living room.
My eyes snapped open as soon as I heard Jae’s footsteps away from the living room. I touch my forehead and feeling my cheeks are burning. My heart is thumping very fast. What is going on with me?
[End of POV]
Jaejoong walked out from his room and head towards the living room. When he arrived, he saw Junsu’s no longer in the living room, except his maids. He was about to ask his maids where his wife was, then Junsu came out of his room looking fresh, as he was just showered and in new clothes.
"Good morning, Su."
"O-oh.. Go-good morning, Jae.."
Jaejoong gestured Junsu to follow him to the dining room and so Junsu did. Jaejoong sat on the far seat while Junsu sat on the other side, opposite of him. The maid puts a cup of coffee in front of them and some toast beside it. And then, they left.
"So, how’s yesterday with Kibum?"
Junsu snapped out of his thoughts and stare awkwardly at Jaejoong. "O-oh.. It was great. I haven’t seen Kibum for a while, so, thank you, for giving me the opportunity to meet him."
Jaejoong smiled sincerely and that melts Junsu’s heart as he turned his head so Jaejoong won’t notice his blushing face.
"I’m glad. I was surprised that Kibum still remembers me, I mean; it’s been more than 5 years since we met each other for the first and last time."
Junsu nodded his head. He doesn’t know what to say anymore, so he just hung his head low.
"Su, do you want to go out today?"
Junsu stares at Jaejoong as if Jaejoong has grown third eye. Jaejoong chuckles at Junsu’s cute behavior.
"Why? You don’t want to?"
Junsu shakes his head, hard. "Don’t you have work today? You came back late last night and slept on the-" Junsu didn’t continue as he clasped his hand on his mouth to prevent him from blurting out anything anymore. Jaejoong hide his smile.
"Oh, you knew? I’m sorry; I should’ve brought you back to your room and not let you continue sleeping on the couch. But I was too tired; I couldn’t even bring my foot to my room and retrieve some blankets for you."
"No! I mean; I shouldn’t have sleep on the couch in the first place. But I was actually waiting for you."
"Waiting for me? Why?"
Junsu was looking everywhere except Jaejoong. He felt embarrassed looking at Jaejoong’s face. "I-I.. don’t know.. I mean; I wanted to ask your permission but.."
Jaejoong looking confused as ever. Then only Junsu looking at Jaejoong’s face.
"I wanted to work at your company, Jae."
"Wh-What? You wanted to work at my company? But.. why?"
Junsu looked down again, unable to tell Jaejoong the real reason why he wanted to work there. So he tried to find another reason to make Jaejoong believed him. "B-because.. I might have the chance to meet Yunnie more.."
He said those lies in whisper, afraid Jaejoong will see through his lies. Fortunately, Jaejoong’s mind seems too occupied by things that he didn’t even look at Junsu’s face when he said those words. The truth is, Junsu wanted to help Jaejoong. He’s worried that Jaejoong always came home late and dead tired. He’s worried of Jaejoong’s health.
"O-oh.. If that’s the reason.. then.. Okay."
"Really, Jae?"
Jaejoong nodded. He took a sip from his coffee and places it down before looking at Junsu again. "You can start anytime you want to. You are going to be one of the section managers-yes, it’s one position higher than Yunho-because I don’t want people to question me why I put my wife in some low position."
Junsu nodded his head and continue eating his toast, until Jaejoong decided to break the silence.
"So, do you still want to go out today or not?"
Junsu nodded and gives Jaejoong his best smile.
