“Jaejoong honey, we’re leaving!!” his mom shouted from downstairs. Jaejoong was still in his room, drying his hair up. “Okay Umma!! Wait a minute!!” he shouted back and dried his hair faster. “C’mon!! We’re running out of time!!”
“Okay! Okay!! I’m done!!” he dashed out the room and went downstairs. His parents were standing in front of the front door, ready to go.
“Okay honey, take care of yourself. Don’t do anything harm and keep our house safe, okay” his mom said, reminding to be careful. Jaejoong just nodded.
“Be a good boy,” his dad added. He patted his head and smiled. “Yes sir!!”
“Okay, we leave now. Good bye!! Take care, OK!!” his mom gave him a soft farewell kisses on his cheek.
“I will. Have a nice trip!” Jaejoong waved his hand to them and they waved back.
“Bye!!!” His parents were soon out of sight, leaving him alone behind.
Jaejoong then back to the house and closed the door. “Should I ask Seunghyun to come over??” He asked himself.
A minute later, he was in phone-talking with this Seunghyun guy. Hard laughter easily escaped from his sexy mouth. And in the next few
hours, Jaejoong was still in his mood of chit-chatting till the other had to end the conversation first, “Jaejoong-ah, I gotta go now. Talk to you later, OK!”
So then, the laughter died.
==================================================================================
Time flew so fast. This day was the last day of his parent’s trip. So they would come back home soon. Jaejoong was sitting on the couch, watching TV with Seunghyun by his side.
“I should go home now,” Seunghyun was standing up from his seat.
“Oh..” Jae felt disappointed.
“I have something to do, Jaejoong ah,” Seunghyun continued.
“Okay then, I’ll take you to the front door,” then they walked out.
“Bye, Jaejoong!” with that he just left. No kiss. No hug.
Jae noticed these changes. Something was just different from Seunghyun. It’s not like the usual him. He looked like hiding something from him, but what is it? He couldn’t figure it out. He just ignored it with some positive reason.
When about he closed the door and walked in, suddenly, his phone rang.
“Yoboseyo?” Jae answered.
“Are you the family of Kim Jeong Hoon?” the voice on the other line asked.
“Yeah, that’s my dad. Who is this?”
“We’re from Seoul hospital. Your parents got into an accident,” Jae almost dropped the phone down soon after the news was heard. Worries began to envelope him.
“MWOH??? How are they??? Are they fine???” Jae asked, bewildered.
“Uhh, I’m sorry. We‘re too late. They were not breathing when our medical team found them, they’ve died already.”
“What?” he whispered. Tears were already pouring down his soft cheeks.
“I’m sorry. We have done as best as we can.”
Jaejoong dropped the phone on the floor. He froze in this place with eyes widened and stared out blankly. But the tears still ran down his cheeks uncontrollably.
“Appa…umma…” he whispered. Then everything went black.
==================================================================================
“Ugh..” he groaned. His head hurt like crazy.
“Hey, you’re awake,” a voice came to his ear. He turned his gaze to the smiling guy who sat beside him. “Yunho-ah?”
“How’s your feeling? Better?” the Yunho guy asked. He kept silent and started shedding tears again, remembering his parents.
“Jaejoong ah, please don’t cry,” Yunho hugged him comfortably in his strong arms.
“Appa…umma…” Jae sobbed. “How could they leave me alone here?” Yunho felt pity for him. He rubbed his back to make his calm.
“I’m sorry, Jaejoong ah, but I’m sure everything will be okay.”
Jaejoong looked up at his neighbor and stared at the latter’s eyes deeply. Yunho saw his sad eyes and ran his fingers on his cheeks, wiping away the tears with his thumb gently. He had hidden feeling for him. Yes, he loved this beautiful guy since their childhood, but the other just considered him as a friend. A simple word but it’s really killing him inside. He knew his family treated him like their own son. He also knew that Jaejoong already had a boyfriend. But, all the things he could do were just watching his happy smile from a far. He always put a fake happy smile every time Jaejoong’s bright face appeared while talking about his boyfriend. Yunho would do anything to make him happy, even let his heart breaks for love.
“I can’t understand why…why they left me…so soon??” Jaejoong wailed.
“Shh…I’m here Jaejoong ah, you’re not alone,” Yunho caressed Jae’s back softly.
But, the latter sat up abruptly, “Yun-ah, I want to go to the hospital,” while grabbing Yun’s arm tightly. Yun couldn’t refuse since Jae was still in his fragile state.
“Ok, let’s go,” Yunho grabbed his car key and drove off.
==================================================================================
“APPA!!! UMMA!!” Jaejoong ran along the corridor. Yunho followed behind. A nurse came to him.
“May I help you?” She asked.
“I want to meet my dad and mom,” Jae simply answered her.
“Are you Mr. Kim’s son?”
“Yes, that’s me.”
“Please this way,” then the nurse showed them the way.
He ended up in a room with two bodies covered with white sheets. He swallowed and trembled so hard. Then he slowly made his way to the bed. He gulped, gripping the end of the sheet and yanked it off to find his mom.
His beautiful mom who had always been smiling was pale white. His face was full of ugly scars. He clasped his mouth and closed his eyes; tears were already rolling down his cheeks.
“Um-umma…” he whispered and took his mom’s hand close to his chest. “Umma, what happened? How’s that fucking accident took you away from me???”
Then he noticed the next covered body. Then he walked over and after he took a deep breath, he opened the sheet, revealing his dad’s cold body. “Appa…”
He dropped on the floor, crying his heart out. “No…this is not happening…this isn’t real.”
Yunho came and hugged his, “Yun-ah, it’s so unfair!!! My life is so unfair!!! God is so unfair!!! Why did God take appa and umma away from me???”
“Shhh, you must be strong, Jaejoong ah. They will always be watching you up there. They want to see your happy face. And I’m always here for you.”
Jaejoong just nodded. He’s too tired; he just wanted to go home and had a peaceful sleep. So, Yunho brought him home.
==================================================================================
“Jaejoong ah, I’m sorry about your parents,” Seunghyun came to his house on the funeral day. Jaejoong was sitting on the couch with his best friend, Jiyong. Jiyong kept rubbing his friend’s back comfortably. “Jaejoong ah, please, be strong. For us.”
“Thanks Jiyong-ah. I’m so glad to have a good friend like you…”
Jiyong smiled, then he turned his gaze to Seunghyun who did the same. It’s like they exchanged their mind, Jiyong shook his head to him for the answer and Seunghyun sighed.
==================================================================================
3 weeks had passed, nothing big happened and he looked a bit better. His cheerful side slowly came back to him, thanks to his neighbor, Yunho.
One night, Seunghyun asked him out to the park near his house.
Jaejoong slowly came up to view and soon he smiled after seeing his boyfriend’s face, “Hey!”
Seunghyun just smiled back at his half-heartedly.
“Mm, I want to tell you something,” he said nervously.
“Oh, what is it??” Jae still put on a smile on his face.
“….let’s break up…” Seunghyun continued. Those words escaped his tremble lips.
“W-what??” Jae asked in disbelief.
“I want to break up, I-I have someone else,” he stuttered a bit.
Jae felt his throat getting dry then he swallowed hard, “W-who is he? Or she?”
“I can’t tell you right now,” Seunhyun answered, his head hung low.
Jae kept holding his tears back, he just couldn’t show him his weak side, “How can you do this to me?” He lowered his voice, didn’t want to
show his cracked voice from holding the tears.
“I’m sorry, I know you just had your hard time, but, we had the same condition too. It’s hard for us too, Jae-ah.”
Jaejoong looked away, a tear slid down from the corner of his eyes. “Do…do I know him?” He turned his head, looking at his eyes deeply.
Seunghyun looked down, “Yes.”
Jae felt his heart hurting so much, even it’s so hard to breathe.
“I have to go now,” Jaejoong made his way out the park.
“Jaejoong ah, I really loved you back then, but…it’s just…something came up…and...things change…”
He ignored him, but those words still rang in his ears. Soon, the tears were rolling down his cheeks freely. “First my parents died and now my boyfriend breaks up with me…why is this happening to me??”
==================================================================================
One day, he found out something in front of his house. Seunghyun walked hand in hand with JIYONG?? His best friend!! His trusted friend!! A gasp escaped his lips.
Unfortunately, he met gaze with the two. An awkward aura spread right away. Jaejoong wanted to go back in the house, but Jiyong chased after and called him, “Jaejoong ah!!”
He stopped and turned around, “Yes?” He made his voice as calm as possible.
“I have to explain…” Jiyong said.
“Is there any necessary thing to explain?” he replied with a cold tone.
“Please…” Jiyong begged.
“….” Jaejoong stood still in silence.
“I’m sorry for all of this,” then Jiyong began to speak.
“Sorry?? Did you just say sorry?? Do you know how my feeling right now is?? I’m feeling so…so hurt!! My own best friend cheats on me with my own boyfriend?? How could you explain that??”
“Please, understand us. I love Seunghyun, Jaejoong-ah.”
“Do you think I don’t?? I love him too! Are you happy stabbing my back like this??”
“No…of course not, but we...we love each other. You must understand about our feeling too.”
“Oh God…did you just said ‘feeling’?? Do you ever think about my feeling too?? You’re cheating in front of my eyes!!” Jaejoong could feel the tears started falling down.
“Let the things flow, Jaejoong-ah,” Seunghyun popped up. “I love him, too. Besides, we still can be friends.”
“Friends??” Jaejoong made a sarcastic laugh. Then he glared at them, “Alright, do what you want to do, but, don’t call me friends anymore,” with that Jaejoong went in the house and slammed the door hard. He leaned on the door and slid down while crying. He curled his body up, “I can’t believe this.”
==================================================================================
Jaejoong was already calm down in 3 days. He could accept Seunghyun and Jiyong’s relationship. Yunho always be there for him too. He could live his life normally before something bad happened again.
Jaejoong felt his head was so dizzy. He knew this headache always came when he got tired or exhausted. But this headache was the worst. Quickly, he took his medicine. Unfortunately, it’s out of stock. The bottle was empty. But, ache in his head was getting worse.
And then he felt warm liquid leaked out from his nose, ‘Do I have flu already?’ he thought. He touched it and it was red. Blood! He widened his eyes, “Blood?”
Jaejoong kept wiping it away, but the blood just came out endlessly. ‘Oh God…what happened to me?? What’s wrong with my body??’ he screamed in his mind.
The headache wouldn’t stop. He even couldn’t breathe normally. And whole things started spinning and blurring. And then, he was hyperventilating and sobbing hard. Before everything turned black, he heard someone called, “Jaejoong ah!!!”
==================================================================================
“What’s wrong with him?” Yunho asked the doctor.
“Yunho- ssi, I think Jaejoong- ssi has a serious ill,” the doctor answered.
“W-what is that?” he stuttered, hoping there’s nothing bad happened.
“He has a brain cancer stage 3, Yunho-ssi.”
“WHAT???” Yunho couldn’t believe what he just heard.
“C-could it be cured?” Yunho asked for hope.
“I can’t tell you about it, because it has reached stage 3, the cancer cell has spread throughout 80% his body. And surgery seems useless too.”
Yunho was really shocked. He couldn’t bear to see the one he loved suffered so much. How could Jae have a curse life??
“Then, how long he can live?”
“About 5-6 months. I’m sorry, Yunho ssi,” the doctor seemed to give up too.
“Oh God,” Yunho palmed his face in frustration.
“All we can do now is giving his medicine to help the pain and to slow the pace of getting worse.”
Behind the door, Jae heard everything, “I’m going to die? Me??” he whispered. His breath became uneven. His body trembled in fear.
“Why do I have this miserable life?? Why?? Why do the bad things keep happening to me?? I hate my life!” He buried his crying face on his palm.
==================================================================================
“Yunho-ah. Will I die?” Jaejoong asked him unexpectedly.
Yunho froze by his question. He couldn’t answer; it hurt to see him in pain.
“Answer me, please,” Jaejoong asked with his weak voice. But Yunho kept silence.
“Yun…”
“I won’t let you die, Jaejoong-ah,” Yunho let his lips release the selfish words.
“But, the doctor said I might die,” Jae said with tears welled up in his eyes.
Yunho hugged him and caressed his head softly. He was crying, “I won’t let you die, Jaejoong-ah. I won’t.”
“I’m afraid, Yun-ah. I don’t want to die,” he sobbed harder.
“Shh, everything will gonna be okay. I’m here, Jaejoong-ah,” Yunho gave him a soft peck on his forehead.
==================================================================================
Yunho rushed to his bedroom and saw Jaejoong lied on the floor, groaning in pain.
“Jaejoong-ah~~!!”
He came to his side and put him on his arm with his head on his shoulder. “What’s wrong??”
“My...my head..hurts...Yun…ahh,” Jae held his head and cried. Yunho put him on the bed gently and ran to the drawer, searching for his medicine, soon he found it. He put the medicine inside Jae’s mouth and drank him glass of water.
“Yun…it hurts…it hurts so much,” Jae kept yelling in pain.
“I know...I know...just sleep now, Jaejoong-ah.”
“No, I don’t want!” And Jae refused.
“But, you must. You should rest more,” Yun demanded while caressing the other’s shoulder.
“No…I’m scared! I’m scared if I close my eyes, I won’t be able to open them anymore.”
“Don’t be scared Jaejoong-ah. I’m here.”
“Will you wake me up if I don’t?” Jae asked, holding Yun’s warm hands.
“I will. I promise,” Yun told, a smile could be seen apparently.
Then, Jaejoong fell asleep with Yunho lying beside him. ‘My love, I’ll always be there for you. Even if you close your eyes forever, I’ll still be there. I will go wherever you are, because this love will never be that worth to fight without you by my side.’
“I love you, Jaejoong-ah,” Yunho whispered those three words genuinely from his heart. He caressed Jae’s cheek with the back of his hand while looking at his peaceful sleeping figure. Unconsciously, he smiled.
==================================================================================
Jaejoong felt his time was come. His body was so weak right now. The pain on his head wouldn’t stop. “Yu-Yun?” Jae called him weakly.
Yunho heard and came to his side. “What’s wrong Jaejoong-ah?? Does it hurt?? Where’s your medicine??”
“I...I already took it, but...the pain seems won’t stop,” Yunho panicked. He thought hard to find a way for his. But his mind blank.
“Yunho-ah…come here,” Yunho slowly made his way up to the bed with his worried face.
“It…it doesn’t hurt...anymore,” he breathed. Actually, the pain wasn’t gone, but his body became numb due to the constant pain.
“Is this how dying feels like??” Yunho shocked at his words. “It doesn’t…hurt…I...I feel relax,” he was struggling to say those words. As the
time passed by, his energy drained out from his body. Everything was slowly spinning and fading in and out.
Yunho cried silently on his side. “Aigoo…Yunho-ah...don’t cry,” he put his hand on Yun’s cheek and wiped away the tears. Yunho held Jae’s hand which was on his cheek. “Jaejoong ah, I have something to tell you.”
Jaejoong just looked at him; his eyes were half-opened. “Jaejoong ah, saranghae~” Yunho said with tears run down his cheeks. “Jongmal saranghae~”
Jaejoong smiled weakly, he felt happy with his words, but he couldn’t express how happy he was right now. Even his heart burst in happiness, all he could do just smile. “I…I’m...happy…to...to hear…that…Yun-ah,” Yunho looked at the latter’s eyes. His shining eyes became dark and so lifeless as the time kept ticking.
Jae slowly closed his eyes. “No...no...no… Jaejoong, wake up!! Don’t die on me!! Wake up please!!” Then Jae opened his eyes once again, “Na...do…saranghae…Yu-Yun...an…nyeong.”
Then Jae’s eyes fully closed and his head was limp to the side, a tear slid down from his closed eyes. Yunho’s eyes widened in shock.
“Jaejoong? Jaejoong-ah?” he shook his body. But Jae didn’t budge. “Jaejoong, wake up!! KIM JAEJOONG!!” he shook harder this time, but he stayed still, unmoving. He’s already gone. Yunho cried by his dead body.
“Jaejoong ah…” he whispered his name over and over again.
Suddenly, he sat up and took a bottle of pills. A sedative pills. He took a half and drank all of it. Then, he positioned himself comfortably by Jae’s body and hugged him. He put Jae’s head on his broad chest and circled his arm right arm around Jae’s small waist. Later on, the two loving people were in their deep sleep which would never wake up.
