~!~!~!~!~
Jaejoong put his belongings carefully on his study table before he walks into the bathroom with an aim to change his clothes. He takes approximately 15 minutes to wear a new blue shirt with dark brown short pant. He looks more casual. Usually, Kim Jaejoong, a journalist, always wears his serious expression. No one ever hear him laughing nor see him smiling. He is an enigma. That is what people assumed him to be.
But not now, not this time - he is just an innocent, pure Kim Jaejoong. He comes back into the room with a glass of milk and a plate of cookies. He loves cookies. Scratched that! He loves food!
He placed them on the nightstand as he throws himself on his comfy, king’s size bed. He opens his laptop, just to reveal wallpaper, with an image of two young boys. Of course, one of the boys was a young Kim Jaejoong who put his best, cheerful smile ever. And besides him was his friend, perhaps. In contrast to a carefree young Jaejoong, this guy somehow gave out a dangerous aura although a small smile decorated his tanned face.
Jaejoong curls his lips slightly upward. Not much but enough to know that he is smiling. But why his eyes do not reflect a happiness which is supposed to be appeared? Why is that so? Why if we look more carefully, we see his heart crying? Why?
It just takes a second before Jaejoong clicks icon ‘Ms Word’ and opens a document with a title ‘Our Story’. He takes a deep breath as his eyes read words by words that appear. And now, his fingers ready on the keyboard, ready to dance according to Jaejoong’s will.
He murmurs softly, almost inaudible as a song from his Window Media Player started to play - a song by Ueda Tatsuya, Love in The Snow.
^*^*^*^*^*
Jaejoong already knew beforehand that a task which was given to him this time was not an easy task. ‘Honour Killing’ - that was a title given to him. He pouted and not to mentioned complaining too, of course. Why the heck he should be given this assignment? He hated this topic!
“Honour killing…” He mumbled before gave out a frustrated cried, “What the heck?!”
Gosh! And because of that too, he arrived in this place. A place that he didn’t even know it even exists. That was not a big problem. His real problem was that he didn’t know how to go to a village which he was told. Aish! He was such a bad luck.
However, no matter how Jaejoong hated this situation, he would never give up that easily. He was not that type of person. He, Kim Jaejoong had accepted the challenge, which was what he called, so, he should finish this.
He walked and walked, without any direction but only following his instinct. He just wished he didn’t get lost. He didn’t want to die before its time. Ekh? It sounded funny. Whatever, he just wanted to go away from this horrible place.
He didn’t know how long he had walked, he didn’t know how much sweat had been produced by his sweat gland, and he didn’t know how many bottles of water he had finished them up. The only thing he knew, the sun was going to set before the moon showed its face. He was so tired, and exhausted and full with sweat.
When would he reach his destination? He had lost his energy and without any notice or sign, he fell on the ground. Ouch! His ass was so hurt but at least he could take a rest for a while before someone, he wished, would save him.
He looked around as he drank his last bottled of water. There was nothing else here besides tree, and tree and tree. He was sure now, he was lost. Damn! He started to shiver at the thought that no one would able to find him. Who would look for him here? Would there be anyone who can save him from this mess?
When he was just at an instant to cry, his ears caught something audible. His legs walked on its accords. He hid himself behind a big tree as he took a peek at a drama in front of his eyes.
“You should die, you had destroyed our honour. How could you?!”
“No, no! Don’t kill me father. Please don’t kill me! I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I would never do it again. Please father!”
Jaejoong’s eyes widened at a reflex as a man who he assumed was a father to that girl pushed that girl away, resulted her to fall so hard on the ground. Her head accidentally hit a big stone; blood flew so freely from her head. How could they?
“You’re not my daughter anymore” The man said his last words before he pointed the gun on his own daughter.
Jaejoong could see fear on her eyes. Jaejoong could see her begging his father to stop, to forgive her, Jaejoong could see her walked backward, away from her father, Jaejoong could see…
Bang!
Gasp! Jaejoong gasped at the horrible sight that he just witnessed. No way! He… she… Accidentally, he stepped on one of the branches that scattered on the ground, causing the branch to break and of course let out a ‘crack’ sound. He looked up at immediate, terrified. The man who had just killed his daughter turned his head towards the direction where Jaejoong was hiding.
“Who is there?”
Jaejoong gulped. He had to run but where? Where would he go?
That was the time, when Jaejoong was fully panicked, a hand which he didn’t know where it came from covered his mouth and his body was pulled backward, along with that unknown person. It might save him from being caught by the elder man but still it didn’t reduce his fear. Who is that person? What he wants from him? He wanted to ask but couldn’t. He began to perspire. Is he going to die now? Is he going to be killed in the hand of a person that he didn’t even know? He didn’t want that to happen. Please someone, please help me!
“Don’t say anything” At last the person said something, “Or else, he might see us”
Jaejoong nodded vigorously. Understand. If that’s for the best, he should follow, right? He waited. No, they waited for the elder man to go with his daughter’s corpse. Jaejoong held his breath deeply as the elder man passed them. He was afraid.
And when the man seemed to a foot away from them, no! Until they could not see his figure anymore, the man uncovered Jaejoong’s mouth, leaving Jaejoong who panted so heavily. Shit! He was so afraid that he didn’t know he held his breath that much. He nearly forgot the presence of the other person if not because the man asked him something that he didn’t catch.
“What?” Jaejoong asked again, back to normal.
The man shook his head, annoyed perhaps. “What the hell are you doing in here? Don’t you know this place is forbidden? It is dangerous!”
“How the heck I know about that? I’m lost!”
“Who told you to go here?!”
Jaejoong pouted. He hated when someone scolded him or anything. He just… hated it.
“I don’t know … I don’t know this place, I just want to go to a village which my friend told me is near here” Jaejoong replied softly. He heard a sigh came from the guy. He looked up, to see the man.
The man sure took his time to reply. “Do you know that village still practicing honour killing? I mean they kill people in the name of honour?”
Jaejoong nodded. That was his reason to come to this place.
“Do you know how dangerous it is?”
Jaejoong nodded again.
“Do you know they don’t like outsiders?”
Jaejoong nearly nodded his head before he widened his eyes, “O-outsider?”
It was the man’s turn to nod his head, “Yes, an outsider likes you, perhaps. You’re not from here, right?”
Jaejoong nodded again. Now, he was filled with fear.
“But…” The man walked closer to Jaejoong, looked at Jaejoong from head to toe, “What is the reason for you to come here?”
“I-I…” Jaejoong smacked his head mentally for stuttered like an idiot. He composed himself. But his eyes, his expression couldn’t deceive the man’s eyes, “It is because of my assignment. I’ve to do a research about… honour killing”
“Ah, research huh?” The man looked at Jaejoong suspiciously but the next minute, he shrugged his shoulder, “I bet you’re such a brave guy for coming to this place by yourself”
When he received no response from Jaejoong, he turned his body and started to walk. Jaejoong just looked at him, quite surprised to be exact. The guy leaves him here?
“Do you want to come or not?”
Jaejoong smiled happily. He ran to catch up with the guy. He was safe. They didn’t say anything as they walked to a place where only the guy knew where they were headed to. By some means, Jaejoong knew the guy would protect him.
^*^*^*^*^
It was the 6th day for Jaejoong to stay at Yunho’s place. Yunho - it was the name of the guy who saved him last time. His full name was Jung Yunho. Yunho lived with his sister and his brother-in-law. He didn’t ask them anything personal about them. But there was one time when he asked them where their parents were. SoonAh didn’t answer him. While Yunho, the guy just stormed out of the room. From then on, he didn’t dare to ask them anything.
However, they did give him lots of information regarding to the assignment which was given to him. Yunho even brought him to the city, asking the Chief of the city and even the prisoners who committed that ‘honour killing’. Still, he didn’t know why they had heart to do it at the first place. For God’s sake, they killed their own blood relatives. How dare they?
When he asked Yunho about that, Yunho just smiled bitterly and said, ‘It was what the villagers believed’
“Jaejoong”
“Yes?” He looked at Yunho, puzzled.
“You know, I’m happy you come here” Yunho smiled - a genuine smile that Jaejoong started to love.
“Me too” Jaejoong replied, sincerely.
“I’ve something to tell you” Yunho said, quite hesitated to be more exact. His cheeks already shaded with pink colour. Jaejoong never knew it would match with Yunho. “I-I know we just know each other for a short time but still I feel comfortable with you Jaejoong, truly I am and.. I… don’t mad at me or what but Jaejoong, I… I….”
“’I’ what?”
Yunho turned his head, “I… I…”
“Aah… it’s Jung Yunho”
Jaejoong watched an anger expression on Yunho’s face as Yunho had his attention at the guy. He never saw this guy before nor did Yunho mention something about his friend.
“What do you want HyunJoon?”
“Yah, don’t be so fierce, my old friend” Hyunjoon said as he walked and stood besides Yunho. He smirked. “You still haven’t changed, don’t you Yunho?”
“And what does it has to do with you?”
“Of course it has to do with me, I care about you, you know?” That was when Hyunjoon noticed the presence of other guy next to Yunho. “I see, no wonder you ignore me, you’ve my replacement already”
Jaejoong gulped. When Hyunjoon came near him, Yunho immediately stood between him and Hyunjoon. “He’s my friend, don’t come near him”
Hyunjoon smiled. “You break my heart by saying something like that, you know” Hyunjoon pretended to be hurt. “Ah, how is your sister? Is she happy with her husband?”
Jaejoong wondered. Hyunjoon knew SoonAh too?
“She must be happy neh? Of course, why wouldn’t she when she married to her beloved. But… have you heard anything about your father? I heard…” Hyunjoon purposely whispered at Yunho’s left ear, “He would be sentenced to death tomorrow, and don’t you want to visit him for the last time?”
Hyunjoon happy to see a fume Yunho. He loved to see Yunho suffering. He just loved it that way.
“Ah new friend… hello to you” Hyunjoon smiled, sweetly, “I’ve to go Yunho, see you next time” Hyunjoon gave a wink before walked away.
Jaejoong stood still, speechless. What just he said? Yunho’s father? Tomorrow? He turned to his left, expected Yunho to be there. But no, Yunho had walked away without telling him.
“Yah! Jung Yunho!! Where are you going?” Jaejoong yelled out loud.
Yunho just kept walking.
“Yunho-ah!!”
~!~!~!~!~!~
Yunho left me with nothing. That day, he didn’t come home at all. SoonAh worried about him. I knew it. Although she kept smiling saying Yunho was probably stayed at his friend’s house, I knew she was lying. She could not lie to me, not when her face told me everything.
I waited for Yunho but he didn’t come. I wanted to ask him. I wanted to tell him that he can share it with me. I wanted to be with him. But I knew he wouldn’t let me.
What was this feeling? I didn’t know. But… I wanted to find it out.
I couldn’t sleep at all. All I thing was about Yunho. How is he? Is he alright?
Around 10 in the morning, I was preparing to leave. After all, it was time for me to go home. I’d promised to my mother. I waited for Yunho, hoping he would be here… but he wouldn’t be here.
I bid SoonAh and her husband a farewell before I headed to a bus station. I plugged ear phone to my ears and listened to a song that Yesung gave me. I closed my eyes. I didn’t know I would miss Yunho this much. I didn’t know until now that I really want to see Yunho for the last time.
And when I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see Yunho in front of me, smiling. I didn’t believe this at all. I pinched my cheeks to make sure this was not a dream. Yes, it was so hurt! So, this was true. Yunho is here!
~!~!~!~
“Yah, why do you hug me?” Yunho asked, perhaps surprised with Jaejoong’s unexpected reaction, “Do you miss me that much?” Yunho teased.
Jaejoong laughed, happily, “Yes, I am. I miss you, Jung Yunho” Jaejoong hit Yunho’s head softly. It was such a miracle. Yunho was here. That was his wish.
“It’s good then, so I know you won’t forget me when you already back to your place” Yunho winked.
Jaejoong smiled. Although he knew Yunho was just trying to light up the atmosphere, he somehow had a feeling that Yunho really didn’t want him to forget him. Why?
“I won’t forget you, Yunho. You’re my best friend ever, you know. Although it is just a week, but I feel like we already know each other before that. I will come again Yunho, for sure” Jaejoong said with a strong determination.
Yunho shook his head but still with a smile across his face, “No, don’t come here again Jaejoong. It’s not a suitable place for you”
“But Yunho, how would we - “
“I would come to you, I would move to Seoul with my sister, perhaps”
“Really? You’re going to move?”
Yunho nodded, “I think she would agree to me”
Jaejoong hugged Yunho again. “Then we will meet later; promise me you would go there, neh? This is my phone and my address” Jaejoong wrote on the paper quickly before he gave it to Yunho, “Promise to give me a call”
“Yes, I would. Don’t worry” Yunho ruffled Jaejoong’s silky back hair.
“Ah!” Jaejoong put off his necklace and put it on Yunho’s neck.
“Eh, what are you doing?”
“This” Jaejoong smiled as he looked his precious necklace on Yunho’s, “It’s my favourite necklace, I bought it with my own necklace so don’t lose it. I don’t give you; I just want you to keep it for me. Promise me to give it back when we meet again, promise Yunho?”
Yunho chuckled, “Yes, I promise and this is for you Jaejoong” Yunho handed a small plastic bag. He scratched his head embarrassedly, “I don’t know what to give you, but I hope you like it”
“Thank you Yunho”
~!~!~!~!~
I kissed Yunho for the first time on his cheek. It was my first kiss. I didn’t even see his reaction because I immediately went inside the bus. But when I looked at him for the last time, he smiled cheekily and gave me flying kisses. I was so happy but at the same time I felt so embarrassed. What made me kissed him? I don’t know.
When the bus was going to move, I waved at him. He said something but I could not hear anything. I asked him again and I knew he could not hear it too. Instead, he moved his arm to his head and formed a love shape. What? I tried to read his lips. Is that true? Yunho said… Saranghaeyo?
My attention went back to the plastic bag that Yunho gave me. I looked at its inside. There was an envelope and a box. I took the envelope first and read its later.
Hello Jaejoong,
Sorry, I’m no good at this. Shit! I’m sorry about yesterday for leaving you. I know I’m stupid neh? Please forgive me. It’s just… there’s something about me that you don’t know.
Jaejoong, that guy… he is Hyunjoon. We used to be best friend in the past but because of something our friendship just broke off like that. He talked about my father… yes, my father is still alive. He is a prisoner. I hate him, Jaejoong. Father, no, he is not my father. He is not my father because he killed my mother, and he also wanted to kill my sister.
He wanted to kill my sister because my sister didn’t want to marry a guy whom he likes. But I helped her, Jaejoong. I helped her to escape but I didn’t expect he would kill my mother instead. He said it was for our family’s honour. Bullshit with that!
So you know it already, right Jaejoong? I don’t know whether you would want to be my friend again after this. Huh. But I want to know that I really like you, Jaejoong. I’m being stupid again neh? Don’t mock me. It’s just me.
Jaejoong, whatever it is. I want you to promise, don’t come to this place again. Please promise me that. Promise Jaejoong?
Aah… I don’t know what to say, but… I glad you come to my life Jaejoong. Please remember me always.
I know we’re destined to meet so… I believe we would meet again but not in this place. Do you believe in faith, Jaejoong? Because I do.
Until then,
Jung Yunho
“You’re so stupid Yunho, of course I still like you” I cursed silently with a smile. I opened the small box and surprised to see the inside of it. It was a necklace, different from mine but it was beautiful. I touched it and felt something.
I looked the pendant and smiled when I read something written on it. ‘Yunho loves Jaejoong’
“Silly!” I smiled but my tears fell, “I love you too Yunho. I promise, I will wait for you’
Although he said like that, he knew he would not meet Yunho again. Why? He didn’t know about it, he just felt it. But he knew his love for Yunho would never be disappeared.
~!~!~!~
Jaejoong close Ms Word and his laptop too. A smile forms on his smile as he thinking about tomorrow. He cannot wait for tomorrow because tomorrow he will make a new wish again.
New? He chuckled. It is not new, it is the same wish as what he used to make.
His wish… is that Yunho will come to him.
Will it be true? Will tomorrow fulfil his wish? Will he finally able to meet Yunho? Will he finally able to confess his love to Yunho?
Jaejoong shut both his eyes and his night lamps. His hand holds a necklace; a necklace which he hasn’t took it off since five years ago.
Yes Yunho, I do believe in faith. I believe it would bring you to me back, right? You will be with me again, you promise me already, don’t you? We’re destined to meet again, right? We’re destined to be together, right?
I miss you Yunho… I really do…
And…
I love you…
Come soon…
~!~!~!~
This bond… This place… It would never be disappear…
Because…
You’re my only love…
!~!~!~!~!~
