Warnings: Use of language, slight angst.
Jaejoong's eyes flickered open. Gasping for air, he immediately propped himself up. "Argh..." he groaned. His head hurt. He could feel his brain throbbing violently against his skull.
It was dark, very dark.
His breathing hitched as his eyes slowly attempted adjusting to the darkness around him.
Shit! Where.... where am I?
Squeezing his eyes shut, Jaejoong tried to remember how he managed to end up in such a place. His heart was throwing itself against his chest, as if in an attempt to break out from where it was being confined.
Yunho... I was with Yunho...
Swearing, Jaejoong made to stand up, only to be wrenched back downwards by the ropes that were restraining his arms.
What the fuck! Shit! What's going on!
Panicking, Jaejoong started to struggle. "Argh!" As he pulled against the force of the ropes, they cut into his skin, deep. He jerked in a weak useless spasm in a last ghostly attempt to break free. Jaejoong flailed senselessly, crying, fear starting to make its way into the crevices of his heart in torrents.
What's happening? Why?! Where am I! Fuck! I want to get out of this stupid fucking place! I... I want Yunho.
WHERE IS HE?!
"YUN! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!! SHIT!" Jaejoong screamed in despair, sobs racking throughout his body.
You think the world accepts you? You're wrong....
What the... who is that?
Jaejoong eyes widened in horror as a voice suddenly whispered into his ear, echoing in every corner of the place he was enclosed in. It was the voice of a girl. It was scratchy, horrible, disturbing. It was the sort of voice that would give you voices. Jaejoong didn’t dare to look at the source of the noise.
"Who... who are you?!"
You're gay, a homosexual. No one can ever accept that...
Indignation seeping out of his eyes, Jaejoong defiantly protested, "What are you talking about?! I love Yunho, it's not wrong! And people do accept us! They d-"
You're a dirty stain in our society! A disgusting piece of filth which taints the human population!
What the fuck?! How dare she say it's disgusting!
"You, you- how dare you! There's nothing wrong with us loving each other. What's wrong, you tell me! We love each other so much, we'd die for each other and we'd sacrifice whatever it takes for our love!" Jaejoong shrieked, turning his head to violently to look for the evil inhumane freak that was saying all this. However, as he found her, he immediately regretted it. He was staring into the eyes that belonged to the most horrible face ever. The skin was grey and pasty and her hair hung limply down her horrible face. Her eyes were the worst, they were black. Just black, and evil. Nauseated and paralyzed with fear, a tear rolled down Jaejoong’s face. He was afraid.
A grey hand with nails that seemed like they were rotting came slowly towards him and Jaejoong couldn’t move away. He couldn’t scream, he couldn’t make any noise. The nails scraped lightly down Jaejoong’s skin, digging in deeper and deeper till he could feel blood.
A sin is what you're committing. A serious sin, a sin that taints the purity of the human race. You say you'd die for him. How do you know he will?! You are just living in delusion.... You are a disgusting piece of filth, you gay, you homo.
No....
You disgusting piece of filth, you gay, you homo.
NO…!
You disgusting piece of filth, you gay, you homo.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

“JAEJOONG, WAKE UP!”
Gasping violently, Jaejoong came back into consciousness as he drew in sharp intakes of breaths. He was panting heavily as he struggled to focus, to settle back into reality.
What… what just happened?
Jaejoong blinked, trying to understand what was going on.
“Jae! Are you okay?!” Yunho’s loud cry emanated, causing Jaejoong to wince.
That… that girl. I remember. Her voice. What she said…
Jaejoong’s heart gave a jolt as he remembered all that the horrible voice told him. Perspiring, his limp and fragile form gave a weak smile to Yunho, “Yes, I’m alright. What happened?”
“You were having a seizure! Oh thank heavens you’re alright! You scared the hell out of me Jae!” Yunho burst out as he wrapped Jaejoong into his own body, as if afraid to let him go. As Yunho planted light kisses onto Jaejoong’s face, all the onlookers decked in Halloween costumes watched. Jaejoong could not help but notice that some of the looks on their faces had disgust etched deeply into them. Jaejoong gritted his teeth to prevent tears from falling as his heart twisted sickeningly.
Is our love really so disgusting? Tainted love, is that what we share…?
