Chapter 17 Two Choices
“What’s happening?” Junsu asked and tugged on Changmin’s and JaeJoong’s shirts.
“Ssh. Just be a good boy ok?” JaeJoong whispered and tightened the blanket around their bodies. They immediately rushed in JaeJoong’s room, sat on the bed, and wrapped the blanket over themselves.
“I’m scared.” Junsu replied and Changmin wrapped an arm around him.
“Hyung, it’s going to be ok.” Changmin smiled at Junsu before turning to JaeJoong. “Something’s burning.”
JaeJoong looked at him in disbelief. Yoochun was right, their house was drenched in oil.
“JaeJoong! Get a wet towel and cover your mouth and nose!” Yunho’s panicky voice was heard from outside the door.
JaeJoong and Changmin immediately got up and ran into the bathroom to get some wet towels to cover their faces to protect themselves from the smoke.
Bang and Junsu’s desperate cry was heard.

“God damn it. Use these to cover your mouth.” Yoochun shoved Yoochun and EunHyuk a wet kitchen towel before he ran to their bedroom door. “JaeJoong! Get a wet towel and cover your mouth and nose!”
EunHyuk and Yoochun were trying their best to put out the fire that was starting to get into the house.
“2406 Einstein street. The house is on fire and there are 6 people in the house.” Yunho yelled into his cell phone before helping out Yoochun and EunHyuk.
They all stopped in their tracks when they heard a gun shot.
“Ah!’ Junsu’s painful cry was heard from the locked room.
“Junsu! Junsu!” Changmin’s and JaeJoong’s voice were heard.
They all dropped their buckets of water and ran to the door. Kicking it down the scene revealed JaeJoong and Changmin kneeling beside an crying Junsu with a pool of blood around his head.
“Junsu!” Yoochun yelled and ran towards him. He lifted Junsu into his arms and held him tightly. “Junsu! Wake up!” The blood from the gun shot wound dripped onto the carpet, soaking Yoochun’s clothes and Junsu’s white shirt.
Yunho held a cloth against Junsu’s head and applied pressure, hoping to stop the bleeding.
The others began to cough violently. The smoke was creeping into the room. The ceiling was not longer visible, it was covered with smoke.
The images flashed through Junsu’s mind. The past, his parents, his brother, his friends, TOP, Kita, and Yoochun. The past was so vivid, he could see everything perfectly. He began shivering from the pain and the fear.

His plane landed and he was now waiting patiently for his people to come pick him up.
‘Jung Yunho’s house was had been completely burned to ashes.” His head turned when the familiar name rung his head. He pushed through some people before e could clearly see the TV report.
‘The police department got a call from the young idol saying that his house was on fire and there were six people in it. Fire fighters, police, and the ambulance immediately rushed over there. When they arrived the top part of the house was already burnt down, firemen went into the house and pulled out six people. Some were severally burned and one was shot in the head and currently unconscious.’
“God damn it.” He muttered under his breath and took out his phone to call someone.

‘He’s in a coma and we are not certain when he will wake up.’ The doctor’s words replayed in their minds. They had woke up the day after they reached the hospital and were currently in Junsu’s room.
The red cut on Junsu’s face was more visible now, since he looked so pale. The doctors had to fuse 3 pints of blood into Junsu’s body in order for him to even pass last night.
Yoochun’s arm was wrapped in gauze and he had a few stitches on his forehead. JaeJoong was burn on the leg along with Changmin. Ki Bum encountered a broken arm when he tried to block to part of wood that fell against Changmin. EunHyuk had a burn on his back and his ankle was dislocated.
“Minahe.” Yoochun whispered in the mist of quiet. He turned to look at EunHyuk. “You were right. I should of died and saved you guys all this trouble. It’s my fault that we are all in the hospital.”
“You son of a bitch.” EunHyuk muttered under his breath. “You still dare to say that now?”
“It’s my fault.”
EunHyuk softened his expression when he noticed the tears dripping down everyone’s cheeks. “If I still remember correctly, it was second grade when I met him. His cheeks were definitely more chubby then it is now, his was a lot shorter, and his hair was longer.” EunHyuk smiled when he recalled Junsu’s image from the past.
The rest listened on with confusion. They didn’t know why EunHyuk was telling them this.
“I didn’t know when it happened, but I soon found myself liking Junsu more then a friend.”
Everyone was in shock except Changmin. Changmin figured out that EunHyuk liked Junsu more then a friend, since he treated Junsu differently.
“It carried on for many years and I never thought about confessing to him. I dropped hints now and then…but he didn’t seem to notice them. But when I did decide to confess, he was already in love with you.” EunHyuk looked up from his lap and looked at Yoochun. “I had never seen him so happy in my life before. He had to work multiple jobs to support himself, Changmin, and to pay for the bills. He once overworked so much, he ended up in the hospital and stayed for a whole week.”
Changmin smiled when he recalled the times Junsu came home late from his multiple jobs. He brother worked really hard to care for him.
“A winner must always receive a prize right?” EunHyuk looked around the room for a response. Yunho and JaeJoong nodded. “His prize for working hard……was finding true love in Yoochun. His strength seemed to increase every time he thought about Yoochun. His sadness disappeared when Yoochun smiled at him. He was happy just thinking about meeting Yoochun later in the day. Yoochun, I’ve been really disrespectful to you since we’ve met. Why? It was because I believed that I could give Junsu the happiness he looked for. But I was wrong, he could only find that kind of happiness in you and only you.”
Yoochun finally understood why EunHyuk was so mean to him. “EunHyuk-”
“Treasure him Yoochun.” EunHyuk stopped him from continuing. “My job of playing guardian angel….I’m handing it over to you now. Be the one that can bring a smile to his face. And bring laughter to his heart.” EunHyuk left the room with teary eyes and a broken heart.
“I’ll go after him.” Changmin left the room to go look for EunHyuk.
“You hear that Yoochun? It’s your responsibility to bring happiness into Junsu’s life. We can only do a part of it, the rest is in your hand.” Yunho smiled weakly.
“I don’t know if I can do this anymore.” Yoochun confessed and covered his crying face.
“You’re not alone, we’re always going to be here to help you.” JaeJoong whispered and patted Yoochun’s shoulder. “Lean on me……when you’re not strong.” JaeJoong’s soft melodic voice was heard.

“Here.” Changmin handed EunHyuk a cup of water. They had both returned to EunHyuk’s hospital room.
“Thanks.”
Changmin took a seat on the sofa and turned to look at EunHyuk, who look like he was about to cry. “Why didn’t you confess when you had the time?”
EunHyuk blinked and looked at him. “When I had the time?”
“A few months after Junsu hyung and I met you, I kind of figured that you had feelings for him. Feelings that were more then a friend.”
“Why didn’t you say anything then to me?”
“You know that I don’t like interfering with other people’s problems.”
“So why are you interfering now?”
“Because…..both of you are suffering now.” Changmin forced a smile. “Maybe if I interfered things wouldn’t be like this.”
“It’s not your fault.”
“Maybe it is. If I told hyung about your feelings, he could of returned them, not be a relationship with Yoochun and we wouldn’t be in this position.”
“Min, don’t blame yourself.”
“I want to blame myself this time. You guys are too nice to me.” Changmin stood up and walked towards the window, his back facing EunHyuk. “Am I really that irresponsible in your eyes? In the past Junsu hyung would never blame me for not being able to help out or not being able to protect myself from our parents, and now you’re not blaming me for not telling Junsu hyung about your feelings. Am I just a child in every other’s eyes?”
“Changmin, that’s not what I meant.”
“Sometimes I feel like a burden for him. I was never able to help him, when it came to money. I was a burden when I couldn’t stand up for myself in front of my parents or the bullies from school. Junsu hyung was always the one to stand up for me. He took on everything by himself, and now he’s facing karma. A good person shouldn’t meet karma like this right?” Changmin raised his hand and wiped his tears. “Shouldn’t I be the one to be facing karma? Hyung is a good person, he’s really nice, pure, innocent, and one of the hardest workers I have ever seen in my life. He has never complained that he was tired.”
“Changmin-”
“I feel so worth less.” At that moment he fell to the floor and cried desperately. EunHyuk limped on his dislocated ankle and hugged him. Both crying for their worthlessness.

“How is he?” Yoochun asked the doctor that was currently checking Junsu’s health. It’s been a few days and Junsu showed no signs of waking.
“His blood pressure seems to be a bit unstable and his heart beats keep changing every now and then.” The doctor showed them the heart rate papers. “It’s beating a bit too slow or either too fast.”
“Oh.”
“Another thing, the cat scan pictures just came in there seems to be some damage at the back of the brain. We don’t know how much damage there is but chances are he will never wake up from this coma and force us as doctors to put him to sleep or he will wake and remain a vegetable for the rest of his life. We’ll wait until the end of this week to see if there is any progression. So until then please discuss this with the family and tell us your final decision by that time.”
“Thank You.” Yoochun bowed to the doctor as he left the room.
“What’s the difference with those two choices. We’ll lose Junsu either way.” JaeJoong huffed and walked to Junsu’s side. His hand holding tightly onto Junsu’s cold one.
“Hyung should we move him to a different hospital?” Ki Bum turned and looked at his brother. “Maybe there could be a doctor in the states that could possibly save him.”
“Maybe we shouldn’t let him suffer anymore.” Yoochun whispered and everyone’s eyes widened.
“What do you mean?”
“We should just treasure the last few days we have with him.”
“You’re giving up just like that?” Ki Bum advanced towards his brother. Yunho stood from his seat and cautiously walked towards them. Ready to stop them if anyone decided to do anything.
“What happened to the Yoochun that cried his eyes out every night saying that he would protect and treasure Junsu if he found him again. The person who never gave up looking for Junsu!” Ki Bum grabbed Yoochun’s nightgown. “Are you hinting to us that you spent all these years looking for him just to hurt and leave him again?!”
“That’s not what I’m trying to get across.”
“What the hell are you talking about then?”
“It’d be painful to watch him live as a vegetable and he would feel bad thinking that he is a burden to us.”
“But your love can encourage him to go on.” Yunho commented and calmly removed Ki Bum’s hands from Yoochun. “Believe in the love that you two share.”

He watched the other’s move closely. He has been sitting here for the past hours and he couldn’t seem to leave the scene. He worried about the other.
“Boss, we have everything ready to go.” A voice from behind interrupted his thoughts.
“Make sure the security is tight. If he gets away this time, we will never be able to catch him again.”
“Ne, I have ordered 3 fronts of men to watch over the place. And when we go into action there will be doubled to amount.”
He took one last look at the figure from below. “Let’s get ready for some fun.”

“Hello?” Yoochun answered his phone, tiredly.
“I have something to talk to you about.”
Yoochun’s eyes widened when he recognized the voice.
“Tomorrow. 7pm. First time we met.”
The phone call ended and Yoochun gripped his phone tightly.
