Summary: A cup of coffee and a lover was all Jae wanted for his birthday, and he did. But not exactly on his birthday.. A few years before he would turn 24, the age he really planned on having a lover. When the day he finally would turn 24 came, he didn't expect to lose his wish that he got years ago.. Only Coffee Stains would greet him 'Happy Birthday'.
"What do you want for you birthday?" Yunho whispered in Jae's hair. Jae's brithday was in a few days, and his turning 24. They were watching the sun set again, for the nth time.
"Nothing. I'm happy to have you.." Jae whispered back, watching the sun go lower and lower in every minute that passes.
"Come on babe, you've been saying that since we dated. I want to give you something that would remind you of me.." Yunho tried persuading Jae.
"Why would I need something to remind me of you, I mean, we live in one roof, and i do my job as a fashion designer at home.. I only leave when i have presentations, meetings, and fashions shows to attend too." Jae pointed out, he didn't need anything, all he wanted was Yunho, only Yunho himself. Nothing else.
"I know, but when its my birthday you always buy me gifts and stuff, its not fair.. im the guy an-" Yunho was cut off.
"Yah, im also a guy if i may remind you.. and it doesn't mean that you usually top, it makes you the guy in this relationship.." Jae turned and pouted at Yunho.
"Awww~ boo, I'm sorry.. fine, I won't force you to say anything, I'll just buy something on my own, okay?" Yunho cupped Jae's face and leaned in for a kiss.
After their smooching, Jae had this idea that would make Yunho stop nagging.
"I've got an idea, I know what I want for my birthday." Jae grinned.
"...and that is?" Yunho was curious, at first Jae didn't want anything then all of sudden something came up.
"Coffee.." Jae grinned.
"Eh? Coffee?" Yunho lifted a brow, "But that's so simple."
"Remember the cafe we used to go to, but switched into Dash Board Cafe because it was too far? I wanna go there again, I miss their coffee.." remembering the coffee he loved made him smile.
"Alright, coffee it is.." Yunho hugged Jae once again, placing his chin on top of Jae's head.
"I love you.." Yunho released Jae once again, and stared deep into his eyes.
"..I love you too.." was all Jae could answer back.
= = = = = =
"Yah! Junsu! What are you doing with Micky?!" Yoochun yelled at Junsu who was forcing 'Micky' to take a bath.
"What? I'm just giving him a bath, he stinks like hell if you didn't notice.." Junsu continued placing 'Micky' into the tub filled with water and soap.
"And Micky is a rabbit okay? Rabbits don't go into a tub to get washed, they lick themselves to get clean. Haven't you heard of fur ball?" Yoochun walked towards Junsu and grabbed 'Micky' away, leaving Junsu speechless.
"Fur ball?" Junsu was still clueless.
"Aww~ Micky, did that duck butt scare you?" Yoochun cooed the rabbit which seemed to not care at every word he's saying.
"Oh please, don't tell me you even talk to the damn rabbit.." Junsu rolled his eyes and sat beside Yoochun on the sofa.
"Don't curse when Micky's around, he might get angry.." Yoochun cooed again.
"The hell, i can't believe i fell for someone who loves his rabbit more than his boy friend.. pfft. i should have considered Donghae.." Junsu said with out feeling, making it sound as if he was sincere.
"As if you could, like you said, you fell for me.. And you fell waaaaay too deep.." Yoochun smirked, while he continued to scratch Micky's small furry head.
"Watever.." Junsu rolled his eyes again.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot.. Lets make a visit at Jae's apartment tomorrow.. I bought him a gift.." Junsu smiled, remembering the studded cross earrings he got his best friend.
"Tomorrow? Jae's birthday is not till the day AFTER tomorrow.." Yoochun pointed out.
"I know that, stupid, but obviously.. Yunho would take Jae out on his birthday, so why not bring it earlier.." Junsu moved closer and leaned his head on Yoochun's shoulder.
"Ohh~ i see.. Okay, will go tomorrow.." Yoochun answered, and was expecting a reply from Junsu, but didn't get any.
"Yah.." Yoochun wiggled his shoulders, when Junsu didn't react, Yoochun placed his index finger on Junsu's chin and tilted it upwards.
Thats when Yoochun realized, his angel was asleep.
Slowly, a smile crept up Yoochun's lips.
= = = = = = = =
"Yah! Yah! Thats my spot!" Changmin yelled. His joy stick would break any moment if he added more force.
"Yah! Stop yelling! I'm losing my concentration!" Kibum yelled back, pounding hard on his joy stick too.
"Go there! There!"
'K.O.! You Lose! ' Blinked in the screen.
"I knew it! I shouldn't have paired up with you!" Kibum sighed, and threw his joy stick on the couch and leaned on his arms.
"As if I wanted to pair up with you.." Changmin rolled his eyes.
"Yahh~ Let's go to Jae Joong-hyung's tomorrow.." Kibum murmered.
Changmin nodded, "Okay~ I have to give him his birthday gift anyways.."
"What did you get him?" Kibum sat up again.
Changmin shrugged, "a PS3.. I don't see anything aside from a computer with an internet connection in their room that could be a source of fun.."
Kibum scoffed, "Please, do you really think they can't have fun? pfft. They could have fun even without a computer and TV.." Kibum chuckled, earning a smack from Changmin.
"They're not like you, you pervert.." Changmin sneered at Kibum.
Kibum smirked, "And you love this pervert.." Changmin couldn't help himself from smiling, he loved it when Kibum teased him.
= = = = = =
Yunho and Jae are still both asleep, warmly in each others arms. Until they heard their annoying doorbell go on and on.
"Who the fuck would visit us at 6 in the morning?! It's not even your birthday yet!" Yunho mumbled annoyed.
Yunho walked towards their apartments door, hair still messy, wearing only a wife beater and jogging pants.
"Who is it?!" Yunho yelled half awake.
"Yah, I told you we should visit at the afternoon.." Yoochun mumbled, still eyes on the half awake Yunho.
Yunho yawned, "What are you guys doing here? It's like six in the morning and its not even Jae's birthday yet.." Yunho scratch his head, making his hair more messy.
"That's the point, we knew that you guys would be going out on the day of his birthday.. So, why not make it an early celebration?" Changmin explained. And yes, Changmin and Kibum bumped into Junsu and Yoochun on their way to Yunho's and Jae' s apartment.
"You guys are here?" Jae peeked through Yunho's shoulder.
The four smiled at Jae who still looked good with his messy hair. Well, he is a fashion designer isn't he?
"Morning Jae.." Yoochun greeted. Since they're both at the same age, theres no need to be formal between them.
"Morning Chun.. Morning Su.. and same with you two.." Jae smiled his angelic smile, making the two younger ones swoon.
"You knew they were coming?" Yunho lifted a brow.
"Well, yes.. I expected them.." Jae smiled at Yunho while placing his chin on yunho's shoulder.
"Ugh, you should have at least informed me you had the idea.. Qt least i wouldn't look like a newly fucked up chicken.." Yunho gave way for the others to enter.
The day started with Jae making breakfast for 10 people, yes, they're just 6 but with Changmin and Kibum, you wouldn't know their limits. After eating, Yoochun and Junsu gave their present to Jae followed by Changmin and Kibum.
Junsu and Kibum were the first ones to try the PS3 changmin gave, while Jae admired the earrings Junsu gave him.
They had a lot of fun even though they were just in one large apartment, they stayed there till midnight, and decided to go home when Junsu and Changmin started to whine about sleeping, Jae offered them to sleep in their guest rooms but Yoosu And Kimin didn't wan't to disturb them tomorrow.
"Night hyung, sleep tight, okay? Yunho-hyung, take care of him tomorrow okay?" Changmin smiled at Yunho who gave him a pat on his back.
"Bye Jae, Happy Birthday.." Yoochun greeted jae once again, and so did Junsu.
"Thanks guys, i had fun.. Go home safely, okay?" Jae gave each one of them a hug and said their last goodbyes like there's no tomorrow.
When the four was gone, they were once again alone for themselves. Since the evening was beautiful, they both stood on their balcony, starring up the sky, which tonight is an exception for the nights where stars were hiding.
Jae smiled, "They're such good friends aren't they?"
Yunho nodded in agreement, "Specially Junsu and Changmin, they love you more than Yoochun and Kibum.." Yunho laughed.
"Don't ever let Chun and Bummie hear that if you know what's good for you.." Jae smiled and laughed along with Yunho.
Yunho heaved out a sigh, "I'm glad we have friends like them.."
Jae starred at Yunho's face, only the moon was its source of light.
"I'm happy I have you.."
Yunho starred at Jae who was starring back at him. With out thinking, Jae closed his eyes and tip-toed his way to Yunho's lips.
"I love you.." Jae mouthed between their kiss.
= = = = = =
"ngh.." Jae squinted his eyes, the sun was blinding him.
"Yunho?" Jae called out, but no one answered him, he sat up from his bed and rubbed his eyes.
Then there, he noticed a red envelope laying beside him, where Yunho should be.
"Now what? Don't tell me his not gonna make it.." Jae pouted at the thought of Yunho breaking his promise.
Jae lifted the red colored envelope and opened it, he was getting ready to scold Yunho, until he saw 'Happy Birthday Baby!' in pink and white colors printed on a red velvet paper.
'Morning baby, i know you thought i wouldn't bring you out for coffee..
but guess what? i have a surprise for you.. v(^-^)v
can you make it to the Dutchess Cafe alone? wait for me there..
I'll make this the best birthday present money could buy..
see you there, babe.. love you.. happy birthday..
-Yunnie ♥
Jae could only smile, words can't explain how excited and happy he is right now. He can't wait for what ever Yunho had prepare, and in return, he has to look stunning. He wants Yunho to be proud of him, to say that he has a handsome boy friend like him.
Hours had past, and Jae is frustrated, he can't decide on what he should wear. Odd isn't it? He's a well known fashion designer and yet he couldn't think of anything that would suit him for todays occassion.
"Ugh, what's the use of being a fashion designer if you can't decide on what to wear for yourself!!" Jae yelled in frustration, he took a glance on their alarm clock laying beside their bed side table. Jae's eyes almost popped out from its sockets when he saw the time. He's almost an hour late!
"Yunho's gonna kill me!" Jae ran around his walk in closet, grabbed a pair of jeans, a worn out shirt and a hoodie, grabbed his phone and manly purse, and went running out their apartment with a slam.
= = = = = = =
"What'ss taking Jae so long? I even rushed here in thought that I was late.." Yunho sighed and leaned on the table were he and Jae usually sat, he took a tooth pick from its container, dipped its end on his coffee mug and started scribbling on his tissue paper.
Then suddenly, he remembered something, "Fuck, I forgot the ring! I was so stuck up preparing for Jae's birthday.." Yunho stood up and ran out the Cafe, he quickly waved for a cab and darted for the jewelry shop he ordered for the ring, and yes, Yunho's planning to propose to Jae at the Cafe, tonight. He wanted to be with Jae forever, and he wanted it fast.
= = = = = = =
Yunho arrived at the jewelry shop, with his chest heaving up and down.
"Oh, Mr. Jung, we thought you wouldn't come today.." the sales clerk went up to him, handing him a glass of water, but Yunho moved the glass away.
"I need the ring now, I'm late.." Yunho said, catching his breath.
"Yes, sir.." the sales clerk placed the glass on top the table decorated with fancy jewels and ran to get a black box containing the ring.
"Here it is.." the lady placed the box on Yunho's hand.
Yunho yelled a 'Thanks' and ran out the door, waved for a cab and got in, now his making his way back to Dutches, but luck isn't working for him, traffic was outrageous.
"Shit. Is there any other way?" Yunho patted the driver.
"I don't think so sir, all the streets at this place gets slow at this hour.." the driver said calmly.
"Fuck!" Yunho muttered in frustration, he fished his phone from his pocket, and was about to call Jae, but even before he could make it ring, his phone died.
"The fuck is this?! Why do you have to die now?!" Yunho was frustrated, today was well planned and he can't believe a traffic jam would ruin it.
= = = = = = =
"Gah~ I'm late, so late!" Jae ran as fast as he can. He can't bare to see Yunho made at him.
"I hate myself for being a designer!!" Jae yelled in frustration while running.
"FINALLY!" Jae yelled as soon as he came in the cafe, he searched for Yunho even though he still needs to catch his breathe.
Then he saw their usual table with a huge heart balloon on it with 'BooJae' written on it. In a second, Jae turned cherry red, it would be embarrassing to make people see that he has this mushy boy friend that acts more like a girl than he should.
= = = = = = =
"Can't this go any faster?" Yunho tugged into the drivers shirt.
With Yunho repeating that phrase every minute, most drivers would get annoyed with him, but this one didn't.
"This is the fastest.." the driver spoke in a calmed tone.
"Fuck, I can't take this anymore, I have to run.." Yunho paid the cab and ran as fast as he can, he can't mess this up. Jae would get mad if he wasn't seen in the Cafe shop.
Yunho ran as fast as he could, and thank God. He could finally see the brown board placed outside the store, with their specialty written on it. The only thing their is left is to cross the busy street.
Yunho didn't think anymore, he was desperate. He ran faster, not minding the busy streets, he crossed the street. All he wanted to do is propose to Jae and marry him. Nothing mattered to him, nothing.. not even his life.
= = = = = = =
Jae suddenly gasped for air, "Shit.." Jae muttered and held his chest, for some odd reason, pain started pumping from his heart.
Jae rubbed his chest, to ease the pain "Fucking heart burn.."
Jae heard a lady scream from the outside, and people started crowding on the streets. Even some costumers of Dutches went out to see what happened.
Since Jae's nature is to keep things to himself, he didn't bother leaving his spot.
He sat on the opposite where Yunho last sat on.
"And here I thought I was the one who was running late." Jae pouted, staring at his balloon calmly moving from left to right.
"So Yunho came here already, since the balloon is in here.." Jae looked out the window, in search of a face he can't wait to see.
An hour passed since Jae came, and there is still no sign of Yunho.
Jae heaved out a heavy sigh, he was worried. He knows Yunho wouldn't let him wait this long.
= = = = = = =
"Yoochun! Put Micky somewhere else! Our room stinks like hell!" Junsu sat beside Yoochun who was busy watching the news.
"He likes it in our room.. He likes to watch us have se-" Yoochun was cut off with a hand harshly covering his mouth.
"Shut up or I'll kill that bunny.." Junsu threatened.
"Okay" Yoochun smiled, he liked teasing Junsu, it makes him fall for the lad more.
lolli-lolli-lolli-pop oh neon naye lollipop~
Yoochun's phone rang, on his phone screen flashed a 'Yunho - my bestest friend'.
"It's Yunho's calling.." Yoochun mummbled.
"Why? Shouldn't he be with Jae?" Junsu asked, moving closer beside Yoochun.
"I don't know.." Yoochun pressed the green button.
"Hello?"
"hello, uhmm.. Do you happen to know someone named Jung Yunho?" a woman's voice answered Yoochun.
"Yes, i do.. Who's this?" Yoochun asked, when Junsu hear Yoochun asking who was on the other line, he had this weird turning feeling inside his stomach.
"Ah yes, I'm a nurse in Seoul Medical Hospital.. I saw your name to be labeled as 'best friend' so i called you to inform you that.." the nurse paused for a moment.
"Your friend got hit by a car.." the lady continued explaining things to Yoochun, making pools of tears on both corners of his eyes.
"I think you should come here right away. The doctors can't decide on what to do.." a tear left Yoochuns's eyes, running down his smooth cheek.
When Junsu saw his lover tearing up, he had to ask. Yoochun explained everything to Junsu, and it was hard for him. Junsu covered his mouth in shock and was about to cry too, but stopped himself.
"Does Changmin and Kibum know?" Junsu's lips quivered, he was trying hard not to break down, not yet that is.
Yoochun sniffed, "I don't think so, but we should tell them.." Yoochun wiped his cheek with the back of his hand.
Then suddenly Junsu froze, "Does Jae Joong-hyung know?" then even Yoochun froze.
= = = = = = =
"What's taking Yunho too long?!" Jae puffed his cheeks madly. Then suddenly his phone rang.
jagiyah! annyeong! saranghaeyo~
It was Yunho's voice, that would always greet Jae.
"Junsu.." Jae flipped his phone and pressed the green button.
"Hey~"
"Jae, where are you? " Junsu asked, his voice hoarse from all the crying he did before calling Jae.
"I'm at Dutches.. Still waiting for Yunho, his taking too long and I'm getting really annoyed right now." Jae face palmed, "By the way what happened to your voice? You sound like a frog, had a figth with Yoochun again?" Jae sipped from his 5th cup of coffee.
"No, we didn't.. But I think you should stop waiting for Yunho.." Jusnu sniffed, and was trying his best to not cry.
"Why? What happened?" Jae was having thoughts, 'Maybe Yunho had a girl?',' Maybe yunho wanted to break up with me thats why he was taking to long?' blah blah blah.
"Jae, Yunho got on a car accident.." Junsu hiccuped. Jae's heart beated to its extreme.
"Where?"
"Seoul Medical Hospital, we're already here.." Junsu hiccuped again.
"Who?" Jae was short with his vocabulary.
"Me, Yoochun, Changmin and Kibum.."
"I'll be there soon.." Jae fished his wallet on his manly purse, placed a $500 bill on the table and ran out.
Jae wasn't expecting this to be Yunho's surprise? Yeah, this must be a joke, was all that runs on Jae's mind.
Jae took a cab to the hospital, tears were not visible on his eyes, but he was pale as snow.
"Sir, we're here." the driver spoke, breaking Jae's thoughts.
"Oh y-yeah, right. How much is it?" Jae payed his fare and went in the hospital.
"Jae!" he heard Changmin's voice call him. Why wouldn't he be in th ER? The ER is the other way around where Changmin is standing.
"Changmin, What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the emergency?, tears are now blurring his vission.
"Yunho hyung doesn't need to be in the ER.." Changmin looked down, his hair covering his face.
"What? Why?!" Jae looked at Junsu who had red puffy eyes, obviously from the crying.
"Jae.. Yunho.." Junsu couldn't continue.
Even though Junsu didn't continue his words, Jae knows what it is, he's just forcing himself not to. Tears started falling from Jae's eyes down to his chin.
"Hyung.." Kibum called, while Jae covered his mouth with both of his hands, it's as if he was the one who got hit by a car.
Muffled cries were heard along the hallway, while Junsu made his way to Jae and hugged his best friend tightly.
= = = = = =
Its been a week already since Yunho passed away, Jae is moving on, but it still hurts to remember why Yunho died.
Flash back
"Jae, at least eat this. I know it's just instant ramen, but you have to eat.." Changmin sat beside Jae who was mourning over Yunho, the four of them decided to stay at Jae's apartment, since they wouldn't know what Jae would do if his alone, he was hit hard with what happened with Yunho.
"I'm okay Min. You could eat it if you like.." Jae showed his smile that never reached his eyes.
"It's okay hyung, Changmin had four bowls already.." kKbum stated while watching tv.
"Yeah, I already ate.." it'ss seldom seeing Changmin, not yelling at Kibum when ever he teases the younger one.
Finally, Jae accepted the offer and ate slowly, too slow actually.
When Jae was done, and was laughing with Changmin and Kibum, Junsu guessed it was time.
"Jae.." Junsu placed a small box on Jae's lap.
"What's this?" Jae took the box from his lap and examined it.
"The nurse said, when Yunho was brought to the hospital, he was holding this tightly. When they tried reviving him, he held onto this. Not even the nurse or doctor could remove it from his hands." Junsu said slow, sitting beside Jae.
Jae looked at the box, vision blurred from tears.
"When the monitor with the heart beat thing went straight, that was the only time Yunho-hyung let go off the box. Well, that's what the nurse told me.." Junsu rubbed Jae's back, hoping to ease the pain his friend is feeling right now.
Jae opened the box to see a white gold ring with studded diamonds surrounding it, Jae took it to his hand and examined the ring more. Something caught Jae's eyes, inside the ring was engraved: 'Kim Jae Joong will you marry me?'.
Jae bit his lower lip, in attempt to stop himself from crying again.
"Jae.. Yunho was gonna propose to you.." Junsu whispered, but Jae could still hear him clearly.
"Stupid." Jae whispered, referring to the ring.
"Why would you run in a green light just to propose to me? You knew I would say yes anyways.." Jae gave sad smile.
End of Flash Back
Jae wore the ring that Yunho was supposed to give him.
Jae sat in the same booth where he waited for Yunho on his birthday. He wore the same ring Yunho was about to give him on his birthday. He even asked the staff of Dutches if they had the balloon Yunho placed in the same table for his birthday. Everything Yunho did for his birthday was precious to him, though he wanted the person who made them all happen.
Jae started to move on, but no guy ever made him smile aside form the four friends he had, a lot of men tried courting him after Yunho died but no one was special. He wasn't ready yet.
jagiyah! annyeong! saranghaeyo~
Jae's phone suddenly rang, he hasn't changed his ring tone, and he has no plan on changing it.
"Yes?" Jae answered cheerfully, this time it did reach his eyes, but with a hint of sadness.
"Jae Joong-shii! We have a problem on the fashion show runway, we can't get what concept or design we should place around it, plane white looks dull with it, can you come here for a moment?" Jae's assistant called him, yes, another fashion show, only this time his own fashion line. And in regards with his late lover, Jae named his own clothing line 'YJS', it stands for 'Yunho & Jae Joong Saranghae'. He knows its lame, Changmin and Kibum were laughing their asses off when they heard it, but when the news about why the name was 'YJS' spread out to the public, his clothing line became popular, specially to the couples.
"Alright, I'll be there in a moment.." Jae pressed the hang up and started to leave, when he was about to walk away, he noticed something stuck on the chair he sat opposite with, he leaned over the chair and reached for the wasted looking tissue paper, he opened the tissue slowly, because he was afraid it would break with the slightest force added to it.
When the tissue was finally open, there he saw the most wonderful gift he could ever think he had.
On the tissue was scribbled with brown liquid that looked and smelled like coffee:
'생일 축하해재중! 나는 당신을 사랑합니다....'
[happy birthday Jae Joong! i love you..]
Jae was having tears again in his eyes, but this time it wasn't because he was sad, it was because he was happy..
That at least, Yunho was able greet him through Coffee Stains..
= = = = = = = =

Summary: A cup of coffee and a lover was all Jae wanted for his birthday, and he did. But not exactly on his birthday.. A few years before he would turn 24, the age he really planned on having a lover. When the day he finally would turn 24 came, he didn't expect to lose his wish that he got years ago.. Only Coffee Stains would greet him 'Happy Birthday'.
"What do you want for you birthday?" Yunho whispered in Jae's hair. Jae's brithday was in a few days, and his turning 24. They were watching the sun set again, for the nth time.
"Nothing. I'm happy to have you.." Jae whispered back, watching the sun go lower and lower in every minute that passes.
"Come on babe, you've been saying that since we dated. I want to give you something that would remind you of me.." Yunho tried persuading Jae.
"Why would I need something to remind me of you, I mean, we live in one roof, and i do my job as a fashion designer at home.. I only leave when i have presentations, meetings, and fashions shows to attend too." Jae pointed out, he didn't need anything, all he wanted was Yunho, only Yunho himself. Nothing else.
"I know, but when its my birthday you always buy me gifts and stuff, its not fair.. im the guy an-" Yunho was cut off.
"Yah, im also a guy if i may remind you.. and it doesn't mean that you usually top, it makes you the guy in this relationship.." Jae turned and pouted at Yunho.
"Awww~ boo, I'm sorry.. fine, I won't force you to say anything, I'll just buy something on my own, okay?" Yunho cupped Jae's face and leaned in for a kiss.
After their smooching, Jae had this idea that would make Yunho stop nagging.
"I've got an idea, I know what I want for my birthday." Jae grinned.
"...and that is?" Yunho was curious, at first Jae didn't want anything then all of sudden something came up.
"Coffee.." Jae grinned.
"Eh? Coffee?" Yunho lifted a brow, "But that's so simple."
"Remember the cafe we used to go to, but switched into Dash Board Cafe because it was too far? I wanna go there again, I miss their coffee.." remembering the coffee he loved made him smile.
"Alright, coffee it is.." Yunho hugged Jae once again, placing his chin on top of Jae's head.
"I love you.." Yunho released Jae once again, and stared deep into his eyes.
"..I love you too.." was all Jae could answer back.
= = = = = =
"Yah! Junsu! What are you doing with Micky?!" Yoochun yelled at Junsu who was forcing 'Micky' to take a bath.
"What? I'm just giving him a bath, he stinks like hell if you didn't notice.." Junsu continued placing 'Micky' into the tub filled with water and soap.
"And Micky is a rabbit okay? Rabbits don't go into a tub to get washed, they lick themselves to get clean. Haven't you heard of fur ball?" Yoochun walked towards Junsu and grabbed 'Micky' away, leaving Junsu speechless.
"Fur ball?" Junsu was still clueless.
"Aww~ Micky, did that duck butt scare you?" Yoochun cooed the rabbit which seemed to not care at every word he's saying.
"Oh please, don't tell me you even talk to the damn rabbit.." Junsu rolled his eyes and sat beside Yoochun on the sofa.
"Don't curse when Micky's around, he might get angry.." Yoochun cooed again.
"The hell, i can't believe i fell for someone who loves his rabbit more than his boy friend.. pfft. i should have considered Donghae.." Junsu said with out feeling, making it sound as if he was sincere.
"As if you could, like you said, you fell for me.. And you fell waaaaay too deep.." Yoochun smirked, while he continued to scratch Micky's small furry head.
"Watever.." Junsu rolled his eyes again.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot.. Lets make a visit at Jae's apartment tomorrow.. I bought him a gift.." Junsu smiled, remembering the studded cross earrings he got his best friend.
"Tomorrow? Jae's birthday is not till the day AFTER tomorrow.." Yoochun pointed out.
"I know that, stupid, but obviously.. Yunho would take Jae out on his birthday, so why not bring it earlier.." Junsu moved closer and leaned his head on Yoochun's shoulder.
"Ohh~ i see.. Okay, will go tomorrow.." Yoochun answered, and was expecting a reply from Junsu, but didn't get any.
"Yah.." Yoochun wiggled his shoulders, when Junsu didn't react, Yoochun placed his index finger on Junsu's chin and tilted it upwards.
Thats when Yoochun realized, his angel was asleep.
Slowly, a smile crept up Yoochun's lips.
= = = = = = = =
"Yah! Yah! Thats my spot!" Changmin yelled. His joy stick would break any moment if he added more force.
"Yah! Stop yelling! I'm losing my concentration!" Kibum yelled back, pounding hard on his joy stick too.
"Go there! There!"
'K.O.! You Lose! ' Blinked in the screen.
"I knew it! I shouldn't have paired up with you!" Kibum sighed, and threw his joy stick on the couch and leaned on his arms.
"As if I wanted to pair up with you.." Changmin rolled his eyes.
"Yahh~ Let's go to Jae Joong-hyung's tomorrow.." Kibum murmered.
Changmin nodded, "Okay~ I have to give him his birthday gift anyways.."
"What did you get him?" Kibum sat up again.
Changmin shrugged, "a PS3.. I don't see anything aside from a computer with an internet connection in their room that could be a source of fun.."
Kibum scoffed, "Please, do you really think they can't have fun? pfft. They could have fun even without a computer and TV.." Kibum chuckled, earning a smack from Changmin.
"They're not like you, you pervert.." Changmin sneered at Kibum.
Kibum smirked, "And you love this pervert.." Changmin couldn't help himself from smiling, he loved it when Kibum teased him.

Yunho and Jae are still both asleep, warmly in each others arms. Until they heard their annoying doorbell go on and on.
"Who the fuck would visit us at 6 in the morning?! It's not even your birthday yet!" Yunho mumbled annoyed.
Yunho walked towards their apartments door, hair still messy, wearing only a wife beater and jogging pants.
"Who is it?!" Yunho yelled half awake.
"Yah, I told you we should visit at the afternoon.." Yoochun mumbled, still eyes on the half awake Yunho.
Yunho yawned, "What are you guys doing here? It's like six in the morning and its not even Jae's birthday yet.." Yunho scratch his head, making his hair more messy.
"That's the point, we knew that you guys would be going out on the day of his birthday.. So, why not make it an early celebration?" Changmin explained. And yes, Changmin and Kibum bumped into Junsu and Yoochun on their way to Yunho's and Jae' s apartment.
"You guys are here?" Jae peeked through Yunho's shoulder.
The four smiled at Jae who still looked good with his messy hair. Well, he is a fashion designer isn't he?
"Morning Jae.." Yoochun greeted. Since they're both at the same age, theres no need to be formal between them.
"Morning Chun.. Morning Su.. and same with you two.." Jae smiled his angelic smile, making the two younger ones swoon.
"You knew they were coming?" Yunho lifted a brow.
"Well, yes.. I expected them.." Jae smiled at Yunho while placing his chin on yunho's shoulder.
"Ugh, you should have at least informed me you had the idea.. Qt least i wouldn't look like a newly fucked up chicken.." Yunho gave way for the others to enter.
The day started with Jae making breakfast for 10 people, yes, they're just 6 but with Changmin and Kibum, you wouldn't know their limits. After eating, Yoochun and Junsu gave their present to Jae followed by Changmin and Kibum.
Junsu and Kibum were the first ones to try the PS3 changmin gave, while Jae admired the earrings Junsu gave him.
They had a lot of fun even though they were just in one large apartment, they stayed there till midnight, and decided to go home when Junsu and Changmin started to whine about sleeping, Jae offered them to sleep in their guest rooms but Yoosu And Kimin didn't wan't to disturb them tomorrow.
"Night hyung, sleep tight, okay? Yunho-hyung, take care of him tomorrow okay?" Changmin smiled at Yunho who gave him a pat on his back.
"Bye Jae, Happy Birthday.." Yoochun greeted jae once again, and so did Junsu.
"Thanks guys, i had fun.. Go home safely, okay?" Jae gave each one of them a hug and said their last goodbyes like there's no tomorrow.
When the four was gone, they were once again alone for themselves. Since the evening was beautiful, they both stood on their balcony, starring up the sky, which tonight is an exception for the nights where stars were hiding.
Jae smiled, "They're such good friends aren't they?"
Yunho nodded in agreement, "Specially Junsu and Changmin, they love you more than Yoochun and Kibum.." Yunho laughed.
"Don't ever let Chun and Bummie hear that if you know what's good for you.." Jae smiled and laughed along with Yunho.
Yunho heaved out a sigh, "I'm glad we have friends like them.."
Jae starred at Yunho's face, only the moon was its source of light.
"I'm happy I have you.."
Yunho starred at Jae who was starring back at him. With out thinking, Jae closed his eyes and tip-toed his way to Yunho's lips.
"I love you.." Jae mouthed between their kiss.
= = = = = =
"ngh.." Jae squinted his eyes, the sun was blinding him.
"Yunho?" Jae called out, but no one answered him, he sat up from his bed and rubbed his eyes.
Then there, he noticed a red envelope laying beside him, where Yunho should be.
"Now what? Don't tell me his not gonna make it.." Jae pouted at the thought of Yunho breaking his promise.
Jae lifted the red colored envelope and opened it, he was getting ready to scold Yunho, until he saw 'Happy Birthday Baby!' in pink and white colors printed on a red velvet paper.
'Morning baby, i know you thought i wouldn't bring you out for coffee..
but guess what? i have a surprise for you.. v(^-^)v
can you make it to the Dutchess Cafe alone? wait for me there..
I'll make this the best birthday present money could buy..
see you there, babe.. love you.. happy birthday..
-Yunnie ♥
Jae could only smile, words can't explain how excited and happy he is right now. He can't wait for what ever Yunho had prepare, and in return, he has to look stunning. He wants Yunho to be proud of him, to say that he has a handsome boy friend like him.
Hours had past, and Jae is frustrated, he can't decide on what he should wear. Odd isn't it? He's a well known fashion designer and yet he couldn't think of anything that would suit him for todays occassion.
"Ugh, what's the use of being a fashion designer if you can't decide on what to wear for yourself!!" Jae yelled in frustration, he took a glance on their alarm clock laying beside their bed side table. Jae's eyes almost popped out from its sockets when he saw the time. He's almost an hour late!
"Yunho's gonna kill me!" Jae ran around his walk in closet, grabbed a pair of jeans, a worn out shirt and a hoodie, grabbed his phone and manly purse, and went running out their apartment with a slam.
= = = = = = =
"What'ss taking Jae so long? I even rushed here in thought that I was late.." Yunho sighed and leaned on the table were he and Jae usually sat, he took a tooth pick from its container, dipped its end on his coffee mug and started scribbling on his tissue paper.
Then suddenly, he remembered something, "Fuck, I forgot the ring! I was so stuck up preparing for Jae's birthday.." Yunho stood up and ran out the Cafe, he quickly waved for a cab and darted for the jewelry shop he ordered for the ring, and yes, Yunho's planning to propose to Jae at the Cafe, tonight. He wanted to be with Jae forever, and he wanted it fast.
= = = = = = =
Yunho arrived at the jewelry shop, with his chest heaving up and down.
"Oh, Mr. Jung, we thought you wouldn't come today.." the sales clerk went up to him, handing him a glass of water, but Yunho moved the glass away.
"I need the ring now, I'm late.." Yunho said, catching his breath.
"Yes, sir.." the sales clerk placed the glass on top the table decorated with fancy jewels and ran to get a black box containing the ring.
"Here it is.." the lady placed the box on Yunho's hand.
Yunho yelled a 'Thanks' and ran out the door, waved for a cab and got in, now his making his way back to Dutches, but luck isn't working for him, traffic was outrageous.
"Shit. Is there any other way?" Yunho patted the driver.
"I don't think so sir, all the streets at this place gets slow at this hour.." the driver said calmly.
"Fuck!" Yunho muttered in frustration, he fished his phone from his pocket, and was about to call Jae, but even before he could make it ring, his phone died.
"The fuck is this?! Why do you have to die now?!" Yunho was frustrated, today was well planned and he can't believe a traffic jam would ruin it.
= = = = = = =
"Gah~ I'm late, so late!" Jae ran as fast as he can. He can't bare to see Yunho made at him.
"I hate myself for being a designer!!" Jae yelled in frustration while running.
"FINALLY!" Jae yelled as soon as he came in the cafe, he searched for Yunho even though he still needs to catch his breathe.
Then he saw their usual table with a huge heart balloon on it with 'BooJae' written on it. In a second, Jae turned cherry red, it would be embarrassing to make people see that he has this mushy boy friend that acts more like a girl than he should.
= = = = = = =
"Can't this go any faster?" Yunho tugged into the drivers shirt.
With Yunho repeating that phrase every minute, most drivers would get annoyed with him, but this one didn't.
"This is the fastest.." the driver spoke in a calmed tone.
"Fuck, I can't take this anymore, I have to run.." Yunho paid the cab and ran as fast as he can, he can't mess this up. Jae would get mad if he wasn't seen in the Cafe shop.
Yunho ran as fast as he could, and thank God. He could finally see the brown board placed outside the store, with their specialty written on it. The only thing their is left is to cross the busy street.
Yunho didn't think anymore, he was desperate. He ran faster, not minding the busy streets, he crossed the street. All he wanted to do is propose to Jae and marry him. Nothing mattered to him, nothing.. not even his life.
= = = = = = =
Jae suddenly gasped for air, "Shit.." Jae muttered and held his chest, for some odd reason, pain started pumping from his heart.
Jae rubbed his chest, to ease the pain "Fucking heart burn.."
Jae heard a lady scream from the outside, and people started crowding on the streets. Even some costumers of Dutches went out to see what happened.
Since Jae's nature is to keep things to himself, he didn't bother leaving his spot.
He sat on the opposite where Yunho last sat on.
"And here I thought I was the one who was running late." Jae pouted, staring at his balloon calmly moving from left to right.
"So Yunho came here already, since the balloon is in here.." Jae looked out the window, in search of a face he can't wait to see.
An hour passed since Jae came, and there is still no sign of Yunho.
Jae heaved out a heavy sigh, he was worried. He knows Yunho wouldn't let him wait this long.
= = = = = = =
"Yoochun! Put Micky somewhere else! Our room stinks like hell!" Junsu sat beside Yoochun who was busy watching the news.
"He likes it in our room.. He likes to watch us have se-" Yoochun was cut off with a hand harshly covering his mouth.
"Shut up or I'll kill that bunny.." Junsu threatened.
"Okay" Yoochun smiled, he liked teasing Junsu, it makes him fall for the lad more.
lolli-lolli-lolli-pop oh neon naye lollipop~
Yoochun's phone rang, on his phone screen flashed a 'Yunho - my bestest friend'.
"It's Yunho's calling.." Yoochun mummbled.
"Why? Shouldn't he be with Jae?" Junsu asked, moving closer beside Yoochun.
"I don't know.." Yoochun pressed the green button.
"Hello?"
"hello, uhmm.. Do you happen to know someone named Jung Yunho?" a woman's voice answered Yoochun.
"Yes, i do.. Who's this?" Yoochun asked, when Junsu hear Yoochun asking who was on the other line, he had this weird turning feeling inside his stomach.
"Ah yes, I'm a nurse in Seoul Medical Hospital.. I saw your name to be labeled as 'best friend' so i called you to inform you that.." the nurse paused for a moment.
"Your friend got hit by a car.." the lady continued explaining things to Yoochun, making pools of tears on both corners of his eyes.
"I think you should come here right away. The doctors can't decide on what to do.." a tear left Yoochuns's eyes, running down his smooth cheek.
When Junsu saw his lover tearing up, he had to ask. Yoochun explained everything to Junsu, and it was hard for him. Junsu covered his mouth in shock and was about to cry too, but stopped himself.
"Does Changmin and Kibum know?" Junsu's lips quivered, he was trying hard not to break down, not yet that is.
Yoochun sniffed, "I don't think so, but we should tell them.." Yoochun wiped his cheek with the back of his hand.
Then suddenly Junsu froze, "Does Jae Joong-hyung know?" then even Yoochun froze.
= = = = = = =
"What's taking Yunho too long?!" Jae puffed his cheeks madly. Then suddenly his phone rang.
jagiyah! annyeong! saranghaeyo~
It was Yunho's voice, that would always greet Jae.
"Junsu.." Jae flipped his phone and pressed the green button.
"Hey~"
"Jae, where are you? " Junsu asked, his voice hoarse from all the crying he did before calling Jae.
"I'm at Dutches.. Still waiting for Yunho, his taking too long and I'm getting really annoyed right now." Jae face palmed, "By the way what happened to your voice? You sound like a frog, had a figth with Yoochun again?" Jae sipped from his 5th cup of coffee.
"No, we didn't.. But I think you should stop waiting for Yunho.." Jusnu sniffed, and was trying his best to not cry.
"Why? What happened?" Jae was having thoughts, 'Maybe Yunho had a girl?',' Maybe yunho wanted to break up with me thats why he was taking to long?' blah blah blah.
"Jae, Yunho got on a car accident.." Junsu hiccuped. Jae's heart beated to its extreme.
"Where?"
"Seoul Medical Hospital, we're already here.." Junsu hiccuped again.
"Who?" Jae was short with his vocabulary.
"Me, Yoochun, Changmin and Kibum.."
"I'll be there soon.." Jae fished his wallet on his manly purse, placed a $500 bill on the table and ran out.
Jae wasn't expecting this to be Yunho's surprise? Yeah, this must be a joke, was all that runs on Jae's mind.
Jae took a cab to the hospital, tears were not visible on his eyes, but he was pale as snow.
"Sir, we're here." the driver spoke, breaking Jae's thoughts.
"Oh y-yeah, right. How much is it?" Jae payed his fare and went in the hospital.
"Jae!" he heard Changmin's voice call him. Why wouldn't he be in th ER? The ER is the other way around where Changmin is standing.
"Changmin, What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the emergency?, tears are now blurring his vission.
"Yunho hyung doesn't need to be in the ER.." Changmin looked down, his hair covering his face.
"What? Why?!" Jae looked at Junsu who had red puffy eyes, obviously from the crying.
"Jae.. Yunho.." Junsu couldn't continue.
Even though Junsu didn't continue his words, Jae knows what it is, he's just forcing himself not to. Tears started falling from Jae's eyes down to his chin.
"Hyung.." Kibum called, while Jae covered his mouth with both of his hands, it's as if he was the one who got hit by a car.
Muffled cries were heard along the hallway, while Junsu made his way to Jae and hugged his best friend tightly.
= = = = = =
Its been a week already since Yunho passed away, Jae is moving on, but it still hurts to remember why Yunho died.
Flash back
"Jae, at least eat this. I know it's just instant ramen, but you have to eat.." Changmin sat beside Jae who was mourning over Yunho, the four of them decided to stay at Jae's apartment, since they wouldn't know what Jae would do if his alone, he was hit hard with what happened with Yunho.
"I'm okay Min. You could eat it if you like.." Jae showed his smile that never reached his eyes.
"It's okay hyung, Changmin had four bowls already.." kKbum stated while watching tv.
"Yeah, I already ate.." it'ss seldom seeing Changmin, not yelling at Kibum when ever he teases the younger one.
Finally, Jae accepted the offer and ate slowly, too slow actually.
When Jae was done, and was laughing with Changmin and Kibum, Junsu guessed it was time.
"Jae.." Junsu placed a small box on Jae's lap.
"What's this?" Jae took the box from his lap and examined it.
"The nurse said, when Yunho was brought to the hospital, he was holding this tightly. When they tried reviving him, he held onto this. Not even the nurse or doctor could remove it from his hands." Junsu said slow, sitting beside Jae.
Jae looked at the box, vision blurred from tears.
"When the monitor with the heart beat thing went straight, that was the only time Yunho-hyung let go off the box. Well, that's what the nurse told me.." Junsu rubbed Jae's back, hoping to ease the pain his friend is feeling right now.
Jae opened the box to see a white gold ring with studded diamonds surrounding it, Jae took it to his hand and examined the ring more. Something caught Jae's eyes, inside the ring was engraved: 'Kim Jae Joong will you marry me?'.
Jae bit his lower lip, in attempt to stop himself from crying again.
"Jae.. Yunho was gonna propose to you.." Junsu whispered, but Jae could still hear him clearly.
"Stupid." Jae whispered, referring to the ring.
"Why would you run in a green light just to propose to me? You knew I would say yes anyways.." Jae gave sad smile.
End of Flash Back
Jae wore the ring that Yunho was supposed to give him.
Jae sat in the same booth where he waited for Yunho on his birthday. He wore the same ring Yunho was about to give him on his birthday. He even asked the staff of Dutches if they had the balloon Yunho placed in the same table for his birthday. Everything Yunho did for his birthday was precious to him, though he wanted the person who made them all happen.
Jae started to move on, but no guy ever made him smile aside form the four friends he had, a lot of men tried courting him after Yunho died but no one was special. He wasn't ready yet.
jagiyah! annyeong! saranghaeyo~
Jae's phone suddenly rang, he hasn't changed his ring tone, and he has no plan on changing it.
"Yes?" Jae answered cheerfully, this time it did reach his eyes, but with a hint of sadness.
"Jae Joong-shii! We have a problem on the fashion show runway, we can't get what concept or design we should place around it, plane white looks dull with it, can you come here for a moment?" Jae's assistant called him, yes, another fashion show, only this time his own fashion line. And in regards with his late lover, Jae named his own clothing line 'YJS', it stands for 'Yunho & Jae Joong Saranghae'. He knows its lame, Changmin and Kibum were laughing their asses off when they heard it, but when the news about why the name was 'YJS' spread out to the public, his clothing line became popular, specially to the couples.
"Alright, I'll be there in a moment.." Jae pressed the hang up and started to leave, when he was about to walk away, he noticed something stuck on the chair he sat opposite with, he leaned over the chair and reached for the wasted looking tissue paper, he opened the tissue slowly, because he was afraid it would break with the slightest force added to it.
When the tissue was finally open, there he saw the most wonderful gift he could ever think he had.
On the tissue was scribbled with brown liquid that looked and smelled like coffee:
'생일 축하해재중! 나는 당신을 사랑합니다....'
[happy birthday Jae Joong! i love you..]
Jae was having tears again in his eyes, but this time it wasn't because he was sad, it was because he was happy..
That at least, Yunho was able greet him through Coffee Stains..
