Chapter 59 - Trial And Error
Pairings: Yunjae, little hints of Yoosu and Changmin / Lee Jun Ki
Warnings: mention rape and abuse, some violence, smut.
Summary:
Kim Jaejoong is forced to do business with the mafia who keep threatening him. Changmin, Junsu and Yoochun are responsible for his security. Jung Yunho is a cop investigating a paedophile/mafia man named Kim Jaejoong and the mafia is blackmailing him to do one job for them: kill Jaejoong. And so their paths collided. A week later, Jung Yunho is more than a prisoner in Kim Jaejoong's house and both mafia and cops are getting near the two men. Now Taemin is back and there's a race to find him first. However, at the end of evrything remains a question: how do you heal wounds?
Chapter 1 - Jaejoong Intro, ... , Chapter 58 - Surprises,
Two days before the trial
Two days before the trial, Jaejoong had a meeting with his lawyer who was giving him legal assistance, not just because of Taemin but, especially, to make sure anything relating Ren was kept secret. Ren and his family had just arrived in Korea to be with Taemin during the trial and Jaejoong wanted to make sure that what Siwon had done to Ren didn’t end up all over the news. The teenager still didn’t know and he wanted to make sure he’d never find out.
Jun Ki thought nothing of it when the lawyer left at the expected time and simply allowed Top’s wife to enter immediately after, since his boss had an appointment with her anyway.
When Cheryl Choi entered, she froze half way.
-Mr. Kim! What’s the matter?
Jaejoong lifted haunted eyes to stare blindly at whoever was calling him. When he noticed it was Top’s wife, he started laughing which only made the blond woman worry even more.
-Mr. Kim, are you ok? Do you need me to call someone?
-No, no. Believe it or not, I think you might be just the right person for me to talk to about this.
-What happened?
-Just had a word with my lawyer. He’s helping us deal with… Siwon. You know, preparing for the trial and stuff. Make sure the bastard goes to jail.
-And…
-Some big shot is considering a deal that Siwon proposed.
-How can the man offer a deal? That’s ridiculous. Isn’t the amount of evidence against him more than enough to convict him?
-Yes, but the big shots want to catch more fish. A very big one, actually.
-Who can they want to catch that would be worth a deal with that man?
-Well, Cheryl, the mafia groups in the city… there’s this top dog controlling them. They simply call him Top. - Said Jaejoong with a knowing smile, studying the woman’s reactions.
-Top? A bit of a pompous name, isn’t it? - Answered Cheryl with a wave of her hand.
-Trust me, it suits him.
Cheryl eyed the business man curiously. He was stressed but somewhat determined, making her curious. Rarely anyone ever mentioned her husband’s primary occupation in front of her. She could tell that Jaejoong, unlike some other people, didn’t doubt for one second that she knew exactly who Top was.
-Siwon claims he has evidences that can be traced all the way to Top. He seems to be confident that whatever he has, would be enough to arrest Top. He’s offering that in exchange for a lesser sentence for his own crimes.
-And you say the big shots are willing to consider it?
-It seems they are only waiting until Siwon can retrieve that information. Apparently he had it so well hidden that the trial will be almost over before he can show it. But… from what my lawyer said, the second he can prove he can deliver Top, they’ll make him a deal, no matter if the trial is two seconds away of giving him a final sentence. Regardless of how guilty he is. They are actually willing to close their eyes at what he’s done…
-That’s… I don’t have the words. I can understand why they’d want to catch a big mafia boss… but… cutting a deal with that… that… man?
-Yeahhh… Look, I know we had this meeting scheduled but…
-Don’t worry, I more than understand. Anyway, at this point it’s just final details for the inauguration in one week. I can take care of it on my own. It’s cool.
-Thanks.
-You get some rest, Mr. Kim. I’m sure that Siwon swine is probably bluffing.
…
Jaejoong called Jun Ki over the second Cheryl closed the door. The assistant was surprised to find his boss looking more stressed than he’s seen him in a long time.
-Jae…?
-Remember when I used to be just some regular honest business man? Nothing fishy, no problems except deliveries, staff rotation, cost control, year-end books and paying taxes on time? I miss those days.
The assistant sat in a chair and waited until Jaejoong got around to what was going on.
-That changed when Top decided he wanted to try and start having proper businesses and what could be better than a big mall? My problems started because he first wanted to take over the company instead of simply hiring us to build the damn thing. Luckily he ended up figuring out that if he changed the leadership the work quality he’d get would be rubbish and he left us alone. But… I was already on the radar of all his other dogs, especially Ri Ho.
Jun Ki watched with interest how Jaejoong seemed to remember the first attempts on his life that had forced him to hire the bodyguards that had slowly become his close friends.
-I thought my days breaking the law were over when Siwon was arrested but fate had one last trick card. It’s rather strange that I find myself in a situation where I think I just sort of broke the law again. And once again, Jun Ki, Top is related to it.
-How?
-I told Top’s wife that Siwon was trying to cut a deal by giving evidences on Mr. Top himself. Regardless of confidentiality and all that crap, what are the chances that I just signed Siwon’s death sentence?
-Pretty good ones, I guess. But if I were you, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. I think I much prefer Top in charge. Ri Ho’s plan was to take over and I think even most of the cops prefer Top over someone like Ri Ho any day.
-Feels somewhat wrong any way.
-I know, Jae. I know.
…
Cheryl Choi had priorities in life. When she arrived home she went immediately to check on her little girl. The angel was still quietly sleeping. Then her active five year old, who was once again torturing the poor patient dogs. Before checking with her husband, she made one final stop.
The boy Dr. Jin had taken to the hospital directly from Ri Ho’s club was now staying with them. The dreadful boy’s parents were dead, she had made sure of that. The adoption process was complete. The six year old boy and his sister, a little older than her own daughter, were now hers too. Cheryl felt her heart melt when the two smiled happy to see her.
-Hi, how are you? What are you two doing?
-Hi, Mommy. We just finished taking a nap and now we’re going down to play with the dogs too.
-Good, maybe you can convince your brother that he’s not supposed to pull the dogs ears.
The boy’s laugh was a delight.
…
Choi Seung-hyun was in his office going over the upcoming mall’s inauguration. All the stores were already rented and a lot of the office spaces as well. He lifted his eyes up when he heard the door.
Cheryl Choi entered the room slowly, holding her husband’s gaze. This type of scene always made her remember the first day she had met the man. She had been pointing a gun at him and yet, he had simply lifted an eyebrow at her in a half teasing smile, while checking her out with an approving look. She was supposed to have killed him then and there but had been somewhat distracted by the man, especially when she found herself checking him out as well. Who could really blame her? He was shirtless and sinful and looking at her like she was his future meal.
-What is it, blondie? Why so serious?
Top opened his arms and welcomed his wife on his lap where he hugged her close and teased her with a few kisses.
-That ex-boyfriend of Kim Jaejoong. He’s more of a loose end than we thought.
-Oh?
-Besides, wasn’t he the one who hurt our son?
-Yes, he was. However, the evidences Ri Ho had on Choi Siwon were staggering. For such a man, so confident that he was above the law, jail time is actually a more suitable punishment.
-Well, we’ll have to make sure he gets it then.
Back to now
…
At the actual first day of trial, Taemin was one of the few that had to testify. Jaejoong stayed with him to keep him company in one of the separate rooms for witnesses. Mrs. Parker had forbidden Ren to be present, so her two boys were outside the court house being looked after by Eric and Dongahe. Inside the court room the atmosphere was tense.
Siwon was the first one to take the stand. Mrs. Parker had no idea what to think. The man looked as handsome and charming as she remembered him, yet, for some reason, she could now see the coldness lurking in those eyes. She couldn’t help wondering how she hadn’t seen it before.
The man seemed confident, smiling as if nothing was wrong. His answers to the accusations hinted at some conspiracy to ruin his name and to grave exaggeration of facts. It was outrageous.
Then it was the cops turn to testify. The prosecution lawyer seemed eager to start with the murder accusation.
Lee Min Ho and Jung Yunho described their first meeting with Choi Siwon when the ex-lawyer had reported Taemin’s disappearance. Then Yunho talked about how Siwon had asked him to keep investigating and had pointed Kim Jaejoong as a possible suspect.
Jung Il Woo and Kim Soo Hyun were next. Once again simply describing their initial meeting with Choi Siwon.
It was the four men’s testimonies that gave Mrs. Parker some needed peace. If four different veteran cops, used to dealing with bad men all the time, had talked with Siwon without suspecting him, then it was more than understandable that no one else had ever suspected. Maybe Taemin had only been able to notice something amiss because the ex-lawyer hadn’t bothered to hide his true nature from the young boy.
Taemin’s turn to testify sent chills down everyone’s spine. It was one of the first times the boy told the entire story, complete with chilling details. Despite his young age and how he tried to avoid looking in Siwon’s direction, unless when necessary to identify him as his attacker, the teenager managed to give a convincing testimony.
Jaejoong had been pacing inside the small room waiting until Taemin was finished. It was only after that they would be allowed to leave. He was worried sick for the boy. Then the door opened and a smiling crying Taemin hugged him.
-What is it?
-Thank you.
-For what?
-That therapy thing. I know you all love to compliment my brain but right now I’m very happy you got me to go to therapy. I would have crumbled in there without it. It did help me deal with everything that happened and… think of it as past.
-It makes me so happy to hear you say that. You can’t imagine.
-What about your therapy? Will it help you when it’s your turn to testify?
-I’ll be ok, don’t worry. And you know what? Thank you for pushing me to talk with someone as well. I needed that for quite a long time already and didn’t want to admit it. Now… what do you say we get out of this stuffy room and go hang out with Ren instead?
-Great idea!
…
After the session was over, everyone gathered outside. The cops easily mixing with the bodyguards. They were happy to meet together again for better reasons and ended up agreeing to meet up later for drinks.
Jaejoong especially had a very happy face. Ren had really liked Yunho and he already knew that Taemin liked Yunho as well. He was going to trust both boys good judgement. Which made him realise maybe he should believe his therapist when the man said that he was a good person too. After all, Ren and Taemin thought that he was.
The business man had such an unmistakable grin as Ren complimented Yunho, that his friends teased him immediately.
-Glad that your “parents” approve of your future boyfriend? - Asked Yoochun.
-What? Leave me alone, Chunnie.
-Yunho looked nice in that uniform, didn’t he? He asked you out? - Insisted Yoochun.
-Oh, God.
-You’re blushing. - Laughed Heechul.
-No one asked anyone. Knock it off. Seriously. We just met again. What the hell are you guys expecting? It’s… it’s just actually rather nice to talk with him as a friend. That’s it.
-Oh, yesssss. Just friends. We believe you, Jae. Not like we saw his eyes lighting up like a Christmas tree when he looked at you and you smiled at him. I thought he would melt or collapse on his knees. The man looked completely star struck. I’m doubting his brain again. - Grumbled Changmin with a shake of his head.
Changmin’s casual comment made Jaejoong blush even more. The tall bodyguard usually didn’t notice that sort of things. If even he was commenting on it… The business man tried, he really tried. But his face just light up like a Christmas tree as well. At least, no one had the heart to keep teasing him when they saw how happy he looked.
…
-Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!! What are those?
Everyone stared at Heechul’s horror face and at where he was pointing. No one figured out what was wrong except No Min Woo and Kim Jaejoong who knew him best. Both men started laughing clutching their tummies.
-Oh, Chullie, God. Only you. Those are women. W-O-M-E-N. Or more specifically, girlfriends. Don’t scare Ren’s mom, please. Not every hot gorgeous man in the world is gay, you know? - Laughed Jaejoong.
-I think his aversion to women increased a lot because of my fans. - Said Min Woo.
-They look at you like they want to eat you! - Screamed an indignant Heechul.
-And then you make sure to go up on stage and kiss me right in their faces, don’t you?
-Off course.
Yoochun stared at the couple and then turned to Junsu.
-Su, baby, we have got to go and see one of his concerts. Sounds like free porn.
-He plays drums shirtless. And that kiss part? Heechul totally sits on his lap while he’s still playing. It kinda is a bit porny. - Whispered Junsu in his boyfriend’s ear.
No one heard what Junsu told Yoochun but Changmin wasted no time in laughing at the older man’s surprised face.
-Chun, please. What’s with the face?
…
Yunho was nervous. He wanted to ask Jaejoong on a date, a proper normal regular date. But all the waiting around to finally meet the business man was now giving him cold feet. He felt insecure.
“Damn it. What if before he only looked at me because of the insane situation? The power play was completely wrong at first and even later on I was sort of trapped in his house. Maybe too convenient to resist? What if it was just physical attraction and now that we’ve been apart he’s totally over it?”
Mr. Jung noticed how fidgety his son was and slapped him over the head.
-Get a grip and just ask the man out, will you?
-Seriously, Yunho. This nervous insecure thing does not agree with you. - Added Jung Min.
The cop took turns to look at both men with an annoyed face and felt grateful that at least his colleagues were distracted. However he couldn’t help feel a little out of place since every man had decided to bring his girlfriend or wife with him. And here he was, single as usual.
To make things worse, when they entered the bar, he somehow found himself seated near Jaejoong. The way the business man seemed calm around him totally didn’t help. Then he managed to catch a shy hopeful look his way complete with a blush and his confidence was back in place. The beautiful man was still attracted to him. He could work with that.
…
The trial dragged on. Two weeks went by and still the sessions were mostly just going over and over the same testimonies. Jaejoong couldn’t help the feeling that someone was making sure to stall for time. That feeling increased when he realised Captain Rain shared the same opinion. He almost told the Captain how he had given a heads up to Top but thought better of it. Top apparently still hadn’t done anything and maybe there would be no need.
The mall’s inauguration was a success and the fund raise even better.
Ren and his family eventually had to return back to America. Everyone was sad to see them go but very relieved that the boy’s visit hadn’t done anything to his memory.
The odd group of bodyguards and cops made a habit of joining for drinks after the trial sessions. No one made a big deal out of it but the two people who benefited more from it were very aware of what was going on and just happily played along with it.
Both Yunho and Jaejoong loved the excuse to meet and talk. There was no pressure, no danger breathing down their necks. They would just talk and laugh about everything and nothing, finding curious little things about each other in the process. Sometimes their chatter included the wide group, sometimes they were left to their own small bubble. The inevitable sexual tension was killing them and making them lose sleep. However, none of them felt confident enough to make that first step to shake things up.
…
Yunho was furious and trying to keep calm. Siwon was testifying and telling lie after lie.
Next to him, Changmin seemed about ready to get up and go punch the ex-lawyer. It was only Jun Ki’s calm presence and soft hand on his thigh that was keeping Changmin on his seat.
On his other side, Junsu and Yoochun were sitting with Jonghyun. Actually, the young man was in the middle. That had struck Yunho as strange until he realised that both men were supporting Jonghyun since that day’s session was reviewing how Siwon had found out how to catch Taemin.
Yunho sighed and tightened his fists thinking how hard it must be for the young man to hear his previous life discussed in court. Especially because the defence lawyer had a way to make it sound like the boy hooked for fun. Jonghyun seemed to be holding up even if he had tears in his eyes. At least now the young man had a support system with proper therapy, a good job, less responsibilities and worries not meant for someone so young and best of all, a great group of friends.
Yunho took another deep breathe and looked for things to distract him. The way this trial kept dragging on was getting on his nerves. He just wanted to hear that Siwon was going to be locked away for life, maybe even sentenced to death if they were lucky.
…
When they all met up at the bar after, Yunho was still rather annoyed and ended up drinking a bit more than usual. Being with Jaejoong made him feel better. The business man hadn’t gone to the trial session that day and therefore was in a much better mood than everyone else, excitedly talking about the new construction project his company would start soon.
Yunho continued drinking a bit more than he should, enjoying the slight buzz in his head. Then he looked around and noticed everyone had gone missing. He stared at the bottle of soju he was holding and put it back on the table without drinking it.
-That’s it for the night. I’m already seeing things. Where is everyone? This place was full a minute ago.
Jaejoong nearly collapsed laughing on his side of the bench at Yunho’s cute confused expression.
…
Outside Changmin and Jun Ki were kissing when they heard Yoochun’s approving whistle. The teasing man was leaving the bar with Junsu by his side.
-Jae didn’t seem one tiny bit upset that we all, oh, so casually, disappeared one by one but I think Yunho hasn’t even noticed. - Laughed Junsu.
-Then, should we go save him? - Asked Jun Ki.
-I highly doubt he wants to be saved from Jae. If he never wanted before, he certainly doesn’t want it now. - Stated Changmin.
-God, please. Let’s just leave those two alone. Their unresolved sexual tension sort of gets to me and I already do a good job of getting in trouble with Junsu all on my own. I do not need that kind of help. - Complained Yoochun, making Junsu laugh.
-Hurgh, too much information, Chun. - Complained Changmin.
-Speaking of too much information, who tops anyway?
-See ya tomorrow. Bye.
-Come on, Min. I’ll find out eventually.
-Maybe when I find out what was the deal with those cuffs you had or do you think I forgot? Deal?
-Good night, Min, Jun Ki. Let’s go, Su. It’s getting late.
Changmin’s loud laughter was soon heard.
…
Changmin and Jun Ki reached their parked motorbike.
-I’ll never get used to the fact that when you’re off duty you’re a bad motorbike boy. Leather and all.
-You call me a brat and claim I still need to be disciplined. If I’m gonna live up to young, reckless and bad behaved I might as well go all the way. Ready for a ride, Mr. Lee?
The smirk that accompanied the last question left no doubts to its second meaning and it got a knowing smile out of Jun Ki as he put on his helmet.
…
On another street, Junsu and Yoochun turned into a dark corner to reach their car. Suddenly, Yoochun was grabbing Junsu by his buttocks. Actually, by his bare buttocks since he somehow managed to squeeze his hands all the way down inside the other man’s jeans. Junsu’s protests were swallowed in a hungry kiss.
-God, I missed doing that.
-Yoochun, you pervert.
-The street is empty. Promise. I looked first.
-Don’t you even think that…
Another kiss shut up Junsu. One sneaky hand started to undo shirt buttons.
-Chunnie… we’re getting too old for this kind of shit.
-Nonsense. You’re never too old. You just need to be horny enough and I can take care of that.
-Oh, no way. I’m not doing anything on a dirty corner against some wall.
-Not my intention anyway. I have better in mind.
Junsu found himself nearly being lifted by Yoochun’s hands on his ass, forcing his body tight against his boyfriend. A familiar noise rang in the silent night.
-The car? Seriously?
-I’m gonna put you in my backseat. Don’t be afraid, love. Promise it’s gonna be good.
-Oh, you sleazy greasy ball. Don’t make me laugh.
-Trust me. That’s not how I plan to take your breath away.
…
Yunho was a bit too giddy to make it home safely alone and Il Woo had been his ride. Jaejoong found it rather funny how everyone seemed happy to play matchmaker. Donghae had at some point sent a text to say that Mr. Jung would stay at the mansion that night. Jaejoong could only roll his eyes. Apparently, some of Yunho’s friends had noticed early on that the cop was in a mood to get a bit drunk and had spread the word around. He knew why. Yoochun had given him a short account of that day’s trial session and it had made his blood boil. Jaejoong would probably have drunk as well if he hadn’t noticed that Yunho needed cheering up.
The drive to Yunho’s apartment was fast but the cop was still too buzzed and Jaejoong preferred to make sure he’d be ok. Yunho obediently gave his keys to the shorter man and happily followed behind. If the business man had looked back, he’d have seen how the cop’s expression betrayed for a few seconds that he wasn’t as drunk as he appeared to be.
Jaejoong immediately got familiar with the place, leaving his jacket on some chair and made some coffee for them. Yunho watched him with a dreamy expression while pretending to watch tv. They drank the coffee, saw some tv and talked. Amazingly, if one considered that they were all alone in an empty apartment, the ever present sexual tension between the two, slowly ebbed away as they just laughed together.
Yunho finally agreed to tell the story behind Bambi, his stuffed deer, and showed Jaejoong some of his pics.
-I knew it. You totally used to sleep cuddled to it.
-Ah, ah. Very funny. I was a little kid.
-But you kept it.
-Of course. My mom gave it to me. Oh, she was so pretty. Let me see if I can find the album.
…
When Yunho was putting the album back, he caught sight of some old pics that were loose against the back cover. Jaejoong was distracted laughing at some tv show his own father had gotten everyone addicted to. He checked the pics, they were old pics of his last months at University that he had never got around to placing inside the album. As he did that now, he suddenly noticed a few surprising things.
Jung Min had become such good friends with Heechul because they were already friends before. Heechul was the famous Legend. But then…?
One last picture made his hands shake. Jung Min had taken that picture at his last football game for the University team. It showed the beautiful long blond haired man with the amazing eyes and to die for muscled arms that he dared to ask on a date at first sight. Looking at it made Yunho blink his eyes, trying to check if he was imagining things.
However, the same face kept looking back at him. Those eyes were Jaejoong’s eyes that could capture an entire room. Those lips were Jaejoong’s lips that could make him lose his mind when they went over every inch of his skin. And those arms were the same ones that had held him tightly and greedily for so many passionate nights.
As he put that pic inside the album and the album on the bookcase, Yunho was smiling to himself, finally realising one little detail that had always bothered him. He had been so attracted to Jaejoong, at what he thought was first sight, when he had investigated the business man for his possible connection to Taemin’s disappearance and it had always bugged him a little. Why should Jaejoong be the one to stand out? Yet now he had his answer. Because it wasn’t the first time he felt attracted to the beautiful man.
Yunho sat back on the sofa next to Jaejoong and as if it was perfectly natural and something they did all the time, his hand sneaked to hold the slim man’s waist. There was no resistance. Jaejoong continued laughing at the tv. However, as the moments passed by, the beautiful man seemed to lean more and more against Yunho, until his head was resting comfortably on the taller man’s shoulder.
…
He felt so comfortable and at ease that it was about an hour later that Jaejoong finally realised that he was watching tv with his head on Yunho’s shoulder while the cop’s hand was on his waist. When he dared to look at the man, Yunho was peacefully sleeping. Jaejoong’s heart raced in his chest. He had missed seeing that so much.
Jaejoong tried to get up so that Yunho could sleep more comfortably but found himself being pulled back to the sofa and pushed between the back of the sofa and Yunho’s hard body.
-Don’t leave. I missed you.
-Yun… Yunho?
-I missed your smell, your warmth. I missed falling asleep cuddling you. Do you have any idea how hard it is to fall asleep without you?
Jaejoong swallowed hard. He actually had a good idea of how hard it was to fall asleep alone. He felt lost for words while Yunho tried to find a comfortable spot for his head in the slim man’s shoulder. The beautiful man was being trapped by cute sleepy cuddly Yunho. A cute sleepy cuddly Yunho that was touching almost every inch of his body and making him crazy aware of exactly how much he had missed the other man as well.
…
With his body hyper aware of Yunho, Jaejoong felt his hormones starting to kick in. After a few movements from the tall man against his body, while Yunho tried to find a comfortable sleeping position, the business man was feeling himself going a little crazy. His body was responding to the cop’s hard muscles settling on top of him. Responding in a very familiar way. Jaejoong tried his best to keep still, hoping that Yunho would soon sleep again so that he could try to get away. But one harder crotch movement made him lose control and Jaejoong sunk his nails on Yunho’s back dragging them slowly until he cupped the man’s ass to make him repeat the delicious thrust.
-Oh, God!
It was Yunho’s husky low voice on his ear that had Jaejoong coming to his senses.
-Shit! Did I hurt you?
-Oh, fuck! I missed that.
Yunho almost keened against his neck, slowly thrusting again and Jaejoong felt lost, unsure of what to do. Yunho’s erection was now very obviously rubbing on his own. Jaejoong’s entire body shook on an effort to keep control. He didn’t want to simply jump the cop. Well, he did but not like this. He knew very well that Yunho wasn’t fully aware of what he was doing. Besides he had no idea if old habits should be kept, much as he wanted to sink his nails on those muscles again.
“I want something that will last, more than a simple satisfaction for lust. Why are you making this so hard for me? If a proper relationship with you means vanilla sex, I’ll gladly do it. As long as you don’t want to suddenly top all the time. That, no way. But I have no problem leaving the excessive force out of the sex. I mean, I’ll… Fuck! Fuck! Oh, fuck! I so want to just… Ok, so realistically, the never any excessive force might be too much. Maybe one night or another? Ah, shit! Yunho, wake up and talk to me! Wait… wait a minute. He’s sleepy, it’s like truth serum. I can just ask. That’s it.”
-Yunnie…?
-Hummm… Missed you.
-Me too. I missed you like crazy. Really I did. You have no idea how much. Listen, can I ask you something?
-Anything.
Yunho’s mumbled answers against his sensitive neck were making Jaejoong have a hard time thinking. He breathed deeply.
-Do you really like hard sex?
-You hurt me so good. I miss it. My skin doesn’t have a single mark anymore.
Yunho lifted his head to show Jaejoong an annoyed pout before he cuddled again.
-B-but… doesn’t that… I mean… Oh, fuck! But if I hurt you doesn’t it bring bad memories?
-Good ones. Really sexy good ones.
-I raped you.
-Huh? That was ages ago. We’ve talked and talked about it. Just. Get. Over. It. I mean the good sex. Miss that.
-Do you just miss the sex? - Jaejoong asked in a soft almost scared voice.
-Stupid. Miss you. Just you.
Yunho seemed to doze off for a few seconds, leaving Jaejoong in a flutter of feelings. Then his head jumped up and he looked straight at the slim man, even pointing a finger at his face.
-Do you miss me just cause I let you fuck my ass?
-What? Ah, you and that sleepy mouth. Would I put up with you just cause of that? And you’re Mr. Big and Huge and I let you fuck me too.
-You’re so sexy when you’re angry.
Yunho smiled happily and went back to sleeping, this time for good. Jaejoong blinked. His body wanted noting with sleep. He hugged Yunho and found out to his delight that the man’s presence was as effective as ever in helping him fall asleep.
…
Yunho woke up with a pleasant feeling but with sore muscles. He figured he was still sleeping, dreaming of Jaejoong judging by the memory of the man’s body next to him and his raging erection. He tried to cling to the dream a little longer.
Only to jump when he heard a moan that had sounded way too real and hot breath on his ear.
-Jae…?
Jaejoong blinked his eyes and then turned to sleep more. Right into Yunho’s arms. The cop froze. Looking down he sighed in relief to see that they were both fully clothed. His throat closed up a little noticing that Jaejoong seemed to have a similar problem on his trousers.
-Hey… we fell asleep watching tv. Better wake up. Come on. Morning already.
-Shut up. Sleep.
Yunho thought of what to do for about two seconds. Then he just hugged Jaejoong even closer to his body, only being careful to not rub their erections together. He sighed. Finally hugging Jaejoong felt like being home.
The business man tried to go back to sleep but gave up when he couldn’t. He blinked up to find Yunho with his eyes closed and a peaceful expression that made him smile.
A loud alarm rang from some room, jolting them both.
-Ah, fuck! Time to go to work. - Pouted Yunho.
-Go take a bath, I’ll help with breakfast.
-But…?
-I’m the boss. I can arrive late.
-Ok. Ah… thanks.
-Sure.
Just before Yunho turned to leave the living room, taking especial care to hide his erection from Jaejoong’s eyes, the business man laughed and decided to tease the cop a little. He kissed him briefly on the cheek. Yunho blushed deep red and disappeared from the room. Jaejoong had never made pancakes in a happier mood in his entire life.
When Yunho returned and smelled the pancakes, he practically raced to taste them.
-Oh, my God! Marry me!
-You never told me you make an orgasm face when you eat pancakes.
Jaejoong found himself laughing again at Yunho’s shocked face. His laughter died however when the taller man nearly trapped him against the balcony to get some cups from the higher shelves. Yunho made sure to place his groin pressing right at Jaejoong’s slim hip, knowing that even if he was now reasonably soft, the beautiful man would be able to feel him. A shy embarrassed blush rewarded him when he looked back at Jaejoong. He gave one cup to the business man with a smile and went to sit on a chair.
After some moments to get his breathing back to normal, Jaejoong sat down as well. They ate in silence, stealing not so secret glances at each other.
When Jaejoong said goodbye and turned to go to his own car, Yunho pulled him softly by his hand. Then with both hands holding Jaejoong’s face, he placed one very deliberately slow kiss on the man’s blushing cheeks.
-See ya.
By the time Yunho had already driven around the corner, Jaejoong was still frozen on the same spot. He had finally noticed one small thing. That kiss had touched him right at the corner of his lips. Yunho had kissed the side of his lips. Kissed. He could still feel the tingle. Yunho had nearly kissed him. On the mouth.

Chapter 60 - One Final Scare,
Pairings: Yunjae, little hints of Yoosu and Changmin / Lee Jun Ki
Warnings: mention rape and abuse, some violence, smut.
Summary:
Kim Jaejoong is forced to do business with the mafia who keep threatening him. Changmin, Junsu and Yoochun are responsible for his security. Jung Yunho is a cop investigating a paedophile/mafia man named Kim Jaejoong and the mafia is blackmailing him to do one job for them: kill Jaejoong. And so their paths collided. A week later, Jung Yunho is more than a prisoner in Kim Jaejoong's house and both mafia and cops are getting near the two men. Now Taemin is back and there's a race to find him first. However, at the end of evrything remains a question: how do you heal wounds?
Chapter 1 - Jaejoong Intro, ... , Chapter 58 - Surprises,
Two days before the trial
Two days before the trial, Jaejoong had a meeting with his lawyer who was giving him legal assistance, not just because of Taemin but, especially, to make sure anything relating Ren was kept secret. Ren and his family had just arrived in Korea to be with Taemin during the trial and Jaejoong wanted to make sure that what Siwon had done to Ren didn’t end up all over the news. The teenager still didn’t know and he wanted to make sure he’d never find out.
Jun Ki thought nothing of it when the lawyer left at the expected time and simply allowed Top’s wife to enter immediately after, since his boss had an appointment with her anyway.
When Cheryl Choi entered, she froze half way.
-Mr. Kim! What’s the matter?
Jaejoong lifted haunted eyes to stare blindly at whoever was calling him. When he noticed it was Top’s wife, he started laughing which only made the blond woman worry even more.
-Mr. Kim, are you ok? Do you need me to call someone?
-No, no. Believe it or not, I think you might be just the right person for me to talk to about this.
-What happened?
-Just had a word with my lawyer. He’s helping us deal with… Siwon. You know, preparing for the trial and stuff. Make sure the bastard goes to jail.
-And…
-Some big shot is considering a deal that Siwon proposed.
-How can the man offer a deal? That’s ridiculous. Isn’t the amount of evidence against him more than enough to convict him?
-Yes, but the big shots want to catch more fish. A very big one, actually.
-Who can they want to catch that would be worth a deal with that man?
-Well, Cheryl, the mafia groups in the city… there’s this top dog controlling them. They simply call him Top. - Said Jaejoong with a knowing smile, studying the woman’s reactions.
-Top? A bit of a pompous name, isn’t it? - Answered Cheryl with a wave of her hand.
-Trust me, it suits him.
Cheryl eyed the business man curiously. He was stressed but somewhat determined, making her curious. Rarely anyone ever mentioned her husband’s primary occupation in front of her. She could tell that Jaejoong, unlike some other people, didn’t doubt for one second that she knew exactly who Top was.
-Siwon claims he has evidences that can be traced all the way to Top. He seems to be confident that whatever he has, would be enough to arrest Top. He’s offering that in exchange for a lesser sentence for his own crimes.
-And you say the big shots are willing to consider it?
-It seems they are only waiting until Siwon can retrieve that information. Apparently he had it so well hidden that the trial will be almost over before he can show it. But… from what my lawyer said, the second he can prove he can deliver Top, they’ll make him a deal, no matter if the trial is two seconds away of giving him a final sentence. Regardless of how guilty he is. They are actually willing to close their eyes at what he’s done…
-That’s… I don’t have the words. I can understand why they’d want to catch a big mafia boss… but… cutting a deal with that… that… man?
-Yeahhh… Look, I know we had this meeting scheduled but…
-Don’t worry, I more than understand. Anyway, at this point it’s just final details for the inauguration in one week. I can take care of it on my own. It’s cool.
-Thanks.
-You get some rest, Mr. Kim. I’m sure that Siwon swine is probably bluffing.
…
Jaejoong called Jun Ki over the second Cheryl closed the door. The assistant was surprised to find his boss looking more stressed than he’s seen him in a long time.
-Jae…?
-Remember when I used to be just some regular honest business man? Nothing fishy, no problems except deliveries, staff rotation, cost control, year-end books and paying taxes on time? I miss those days.
The assistant sat in a chair and waited until Jaejoong got around to what was going on.
-That changed when Top decided he wanted to try and start having proper businesses and what could be better than a big mall? My problems started because he first wanted to take over the company instead of simply hiring us to build the damn thing. Luckily he ended up figuring out that if he changed the leadership the work quality he’d get would be rubbish and he left us alone. But… I was already on the radar of all his other dogs, especially Ri Ho.
Jun Ki watched with interest how Jaejoong seemed to remember the first attempts on his life that had forced him to hire the bodyguards that had slowly become his close friends.
-I thought my days breaking the law were over when Siwon was arrested but fate had one last trick card. It’s rather strange that I find myself in a situation where I think I just sort of broke the law again. And once again, Jun Ki, Top is related to it.
-How?
-I told Top’s wife that Siwon was trying to cut a deal by giving evidences on Mr. Top himself. Regardless of confidentiality and all that crap, what are the chances that I just signed Siwon’s death sentence?
-Pretty good ones, I guess. But if I were you, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. I think I much prefer Top in charge. Ri Ho’s plan was to take over and I think even most of the cops prefer Top over someone like Ri Ho any day.
-Feels somewhat wrong any way.
-I know, Jae. I know.
…
Cheryl Choi had priorities in life. When she arrived home she went immediately to check on her little girl. The angel was still quietly sleeping. Then her active five year old, who was once again torturing the poor patient dogs. Before checking with her husband, she made one final stop.
The boy Dr. Jin had taken to the hospital directly from Ri Ho’s club was now staying with them. The dreadful boy’s parents were dead, she had made sure of that. The adoption process was complete. The six year old boy and his sister, a little older than her own daughter, were now hers too. Cheryl felt her heart melt when the two smiled happy to see her.
-Hi, how are you? What are you two doing?
-Hi, Mommy. We just finished taking a nap and now we’re going down to play with the dogs too.
-Good, maybe you can convince your brother that he’s not supposed to pull the dogs ears.
The boy’s laugh was a delight.
…
Choi Seung-hyun was in his office going over the upcoming mall’s inauguration. All the stores were already rented and a lot of the office spaces as well. He lifted his eyes up when he heard the door.
Cheryl Choi entered the room slowly, holding her husband’s gaze. This type of scene always made her remember the first day she had met the man. She had been pointing a gun at him and yet, he had simply lifted an eyebrow at her in a half teasing smile, while checking her out with an approving look. She was supposed to have killed him then and there but had been somewhat distracted by the man, especially when she found herself checking him out as well. Who could really blame her? He was shirtless and sinful and looking at her like she was his future meal.
-What is it, blondie? Why so serious?
Top opened his arms and welcomed his wife on his lap where he hugged her close and teased her with a few kisses.
-That ex-boyfriend of Kim Jaejoong. He’s more of a loose end than we thought.
-Oh?
-Besides, wasn’t he the one who hurt our son?
-Yes, he was. However, the evidences Ri Ho had on Choi Siwon were staggering. For such a man, so confident that he was above the law, jail time is actually a more suitable punishment.
-Well, we’ll have to make sure he gets it then.
Back to now
…
At the actual first day of trial, Taemin was one of the few that had to testify. Jaejoong stayed with him to keep him company in one of the separate rooms for witnesses. Mrs. Parker had forbidden Ren to be present, so her two boys were outside the court house being looked after by Eric and Dongahe. Inside the court room the atmosphere was tense.
Siwon was the first one to take the stand. Mrs. Parker had no idea what to think. The man looked as handsome and charming as she remembered him, yet, for some reason, she could now see the coldness lurking in those eyes. She couldn’t help wondering how she hadn’t seen it before.
The man seemed confident, smiling as if nothing was wrong. His answers to the accusations hinted at some conspiracy to ruin his name and to grave exaggeration of facts. It was outrageous.
Then it was the cops turn to testify. The prosecution lawyer seemed eager to start with the murder accusation.
Lee Min Ho and Jung Yunho described their first meeting with Choi Siwon when the ex-lawyer had reported Taemin’s disappearance. Then Yunho talked about how Siwon had asked him to keep investigating and had pointed Kim Jaejoong as a possible suspect.
Jung Il Woo and Kim Soo Hyun were next. Once again simply describing their initial meeting with Choi Siwon.
It was the four men’s testimonies that gave Mrs. Parker some needed peace. If four different veteran cops, used to dealing with bad men all the time, had talked with Siwon without suspecting him, then it was more than understandable that no one else had ever suspected. Maybe Taemin had only been able to notice something amiss because the ex-lawyer hadn’t bothered to hide his true nature from the young boy.
Taemin’s turn to testify sent chills down everyone’s spine. It was one of the first times the boy told the entire story, complete with chilling details. Despite his young age and how he tried to avoid looking in Siwon’s direction, unless when necessary to identify him as his attacker, the teenager managed to give a convincing testimony.
Jaejoong had been pacing inside the small room waiting until Taemin was finished. It was only after that they would be allowed to leave. He was worried sick for the boy. Then the door opened and a smiling crying Taemin hugged him.
-What is it?
-Thank you.
-For what?
-That therapy thing. I know you all love to compliment my brain but right now I’m very happy you got me to go to therapy. I would have crumbled in there without it. It did help me deal with everything that happened and… think of it as past.
-It makes me so happy to hear you say that. You can’t imagine.
-What about your therapy? Will it help you when it’s your turn to testify?
-I’ll be ok, don’t worry. And you know what? Thank you for pushing me to talk with someone as well. I needed that for quite a long time already and didn’t want to admit it. Now… what do you say we get out of this stuffy room and go hang out with Ren instead?
-Great idea!
…
After the session was over, everyone gathered outside. The cops easily mixing with the bodyguards. They were happy to meet together again for better reasons and ended up agreeing to meet up later for drinks.
Jaejoong especially had a very happy face. Ren had really liked Yunho and he already knew that Taemin liked Yunho as well. He was going to trust both boys good judgement. Which made him realise maybe he should believe his therapist when the man said that he was a good person too. After all, Ren and Taemin thought that he was.
The business man had such an unmistakable grin as Ren complimented Yunho, that his friends teased him immediately.
-Glad that your “parents” approve of your future boyfriend? - Asked Yoochun.
-What? Leave me alone, Chunnie.
-Yunho looked nice in that uniform, didn’t he? He asked you out? - Insisted Yoochun.
-Oh, God.
-You’re blushing. - Laughed Heechul.
-No one asked anyone. Knock it off. Seriously. We just met again. What the hell are you guys expecting? It’s… it’s just actually rather nice to talk with him as a friend. That’s it.
-Oh, yesssss. Just friends. We believe you, Jae. Not like we saw his eyes lighting up like a Christmas tree when he looked at you and you smiled at him. I thought he would melt or collapse on his knees. The man looked completely star struck. I’m doubting his brain again. - Grumbled Changmin with a shake of his head.
Changmin’s casual comment made Jaejoong blush even more. The tall bodyguard usually didn’t notice that sort of things. If even he was commenting on it… The business man tried, he really tried. But his face just light up like a Christmas tree as well. At least, no one had the heart to keep teasing him when they saw how happy he looked.
…
-Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!! What are those?
Everyone stared at Heechul’s horror face and at where he was pointing. No one figured out what was wrong except No Min Woo and Kim Jaejoong who knew him best. Both men started laughing clutching their tummies.
-Oh, Chullie, God. Only you. Those are women. W-O-M-E-N. Or more specifically, girlfriends. Don’t scare Ren’s mom, please. Not every hot gorgeous man in the world is gay, you know? - Laughed Jaejoong.
-I think his aversion to women increased a lot because of my fans. - Said Min Woo.
-They look at you like they want to eat you! - Screamed an indignant Heechul.
-And then you make sure to go up on stage and kiss me right in their faces, don’t you?
-Off course.
Yoochun stared at the couple and then turned to Junsu.
-Su, baby, we have got to go and see one of his concerts. Sounds like free porn.
-He plays drums shirtless. And that kiss part? Heechul totally sits on his lap while he’s still playing. It kinda is a bit porny. - Whispered Junsu in his boyfriend’s ear.
No one heard what Junsu told Yoochun but Changmin wasted no time in laughing at the older man’s surprised face.
-Chun, please. What’s with the face?
…
Yunho was nervous. He wanted to ask Jaejoong on a date, a proper normal regular date. But all the waiting around to finally meet the business man was now giving him cold feet. He felt insecure.
“Damn it. What if before he only looked at me because of the insane situation? The power play was completely wrong at first and even later on I was sort of trapped in his house. Maybe too convenient to resist? What if it was just physical attraction and now that we’ve been apart he’s totally over it?”
Mr. Jung noticed how fidgety his son was and slapped him over the head.
-Get a grip and just ask the man out, will you?
-Seriously, Yunho. This nervous insecure thing does not agree with you. - Added Jung Min.
The cop took turns to look at both men with an annoyed face and felt grateful that at least his colleagues were distracted. However he couldn’t help feel a little out of place since every man had decided to bring his girlfriend or wife with him. And here he was, single as usual.
To make things worse, when they entered the bar, he somehow found himself seated near Jaejoong. The way the business man seemed calm around him totally didn’t help. Then he managed to catch a shy hopeful look his way complete with a blush and his confidence was back in place. The beautiful man was still attracted to him. He could work with that.
…
The trial dragged on. Two weeks went by and still the sessions were mostly just going over and over the same testimonies. Jaejoong couldn’t help the feeling that someone was making sure to stall for time. That feeling increased when he realised Captain Rain shared the same opinion. He almost told the Captain how he had given a heads up to Top but thought better of it. Top apparently still hadn’t done anything and maybe there would be no need.
The mall’s inauguration was a success and the fund raise even better.
Ren and his family eventually had to return back to America. Everyone was sad to see them go but very relieved that the boy’s visit hadn’t done anything to his memory.
The odd group of bodyguards and cops made a habit of joining for drinks after the trial sessions. No one made a big deal out of it but the two people who benefited more from it were very aware of what was going on and just happily played along with it.
Both Yunho and Jaejoong loved the excuse to meet and talk. There was no pressure, no danger breathing down their necks. They would just talk and laugh about everything and nothing, finding curious little things about each other in the process. Sometimes their chatter included the wide group, sometimes they were left to their own small bubble. The inevitable sexual tension was killing them and making them lose sleep. However, none of them felt confident enough to make that first step to shake things up.
…
Yunho was furious and trying to keep calm. Siwon was testifying and telling lie after lie.
Next to him, Changmin seemed about ready to get up and go punch the ex-lawyer. It was only Jun Ki’s calm presence and soft hand on his thigh that was keeping Changmin on his seat.
On his other side, Junsu and Yoochun were sitting with Jonghyun. Actually, the young man was in the middle. That had struck Yunho as strange until he realised that both men were supporting Jonghyun since that day’s session was reviewing how Siwon had found out how to catch Taemin.
Yunho sighed and tightened his fists thinking how hard it must be for the young man to hear his previous life discussed in court. Especially because the defence lawyer had a way to make it sound like the boy hooked for fun. Jonghyun seemed to be holding up even if he had tears in his eyes. At least now the young man had a support system with proper therapy, a good job, less responsibilities and worries not meant for someone so young and best of all, a great group of friends.
Yunho took another deep breathe and looked for things to distract him. The way this trial kept dragging on was getting on his nerves. He just wanted to hear that Siwon was going to be locked away for life, maybe even sentenced to death if they were lucky.
…
When they all met up at the bar after, Yunho was still rather annoyed and ended up drinking a bit more than usual. Being with Jaejoong made him feel better. The business man hadn’t gone to the trial session that day and therefore was in a much better mood than everyone else, excitedly talking about the new construction project his company would start soon.
Yunho continued drinking a bit more than he should, enjoying the slight buzz in his head. Then he looked around and noticed everyone had gone missing. He stared at the bottle of soju he was holding and put it back on the table without drinking it.
-That’s it for the night. I’m already seeing things. Where is everyone? This place was full a minute ago.
Jaejoong nearly collapsed laughing on his side of the bench at Yunho’s cute confused expression.
…
Outside Changmin and Jun Ki were kissing when they heard Yoochun’s approving whistle. The teasing man was leaving the bar with Junsu by his side.
-Jae didn’t seem one tiny bit upset that we all, oh, so casually, disappeared one by one but I think Yunho hasn’t even noticed. - Laughed Junsu.
-Then, should we go save him? - Asked Jun Ki.
-I highly doubt he wants to be saved from Jae. If he never wanted before, he certainly doesn’t want it now. - Stated Changmin.
-God, please. Let’s just leave those two alone. Their unresolved sexual tension sort of gets to me and I already do a good job of getting in trouble with Junsu all on my own. I do not need that kind of help. - Complained Yoochun, making Junsu laugh.
-Hurgh, too much information, Chun. - Complained Changmin.
-Speaking of too much information, who tops anyway?
-See ya tomorrow. Bye.
-Come on, Min. I’ll find out eventually.
-Maybe when I find out what was the deal with those cuffs you had or do you think I forgot? Deal?
-Good night, Min, Jun Ki. Let’s go, Su. It’s getting late.
Changmin’s loud laughter was soon heard.
…
Changmin and Jun Ki reached their parked motorbike.
-I’ll never get used to the fact that when you’re off duty you’re a bad motorbike boy. Leather and all.
-You call me a brat and claim I still need to be disciplined. If I’m gonna live up to young, reckless and bad behaved I might as well go all the way. Ready for a ride, Mr. Lee?
The smirk that accompanied the last question left no doubts to its second meaning and it got a knowing smile out of Jun Ki as he put on his helmet.
…
On another street, Junsu and Yoochun turned into a dark corner to reach their car. Suddenly, Yoochun was grabbing Junsu by his buttocks. Actually, by his bare buttocks since he somehow managed to squeeze his hands all the way down inside the other man’s jeans. Junsu’s protests were swallowed in a hungry kiss.
-God, I missed doing that.
-Yoochun, you pervert.
-The street is empty. Promise. I looked first.
-Don’t you even think that…
Another kiss shut up Junsu. One sneaky hand started to undo shirt buttons.
-Chunnie… we’re getting too old for this kind of shit.
-Nonsense. You’re never too old. You just need to be horny enough and I can take care of that.
-Oh, no way. I’m not doing anything on a dirty corner against some wall.
-Not my intention anyway. I have better in mind.
Junsu found himself nearly being lifted by Yoochun’s hands on his ass, forcing his body tight against his boyfriend. A familiar noise rang in the silent night.
-The car? Seriously?
-I’m gonna put you in my backseat. Don’t be afraid, love. Promise it’s gonna be good.
-Oh, you sleazy greasy ball. Don’t make me laugh.
-Trust me. That’s not how I plan to take your breath away.
…
Yunho was a bit too giddy to make it home safely alone and Il Woo had been his ride. Jaejoong found it rather funny how everyone seemed happy to play matchmaker. Donghae had at some point sent a text to say that Mr. Jung would stay at the mansion that night. Jaejoong could only roll his eyes. Apparently, some of Yunho’s friends had noticed early on that the cop was in a mood to get a bit drunk and had spread the word around. He knew why. Yoochun had given him a short account of that day’s trial session and it had made his blood boil. Jaejoong would probably have drunk as well if he hadn’t noticed that Yunho needed cheering up.
The drive to Yunho’s apartment was fast but the cop was still too buzzed and Jaejoong preferred to make sure he’d be ok. Yunho obediently gave his keys to the shorter man and happily followed behind. If the business man had looked back, he’d have seen how the cop’s expression betrayed for a few seconds that he wasn’t as drunk as he appeared to be.
Jaejoong immediately got familiar with the place, leaving his jacket on some chair and made some coffee for them. Yunho watched him with a dreamy expression while pretending to watch tv. They drank the coffee, saw some tv and talked. Amazingly, if one considered that they were all alone in an empty apartment, the ever present sexual tension between the two, slowly ebbed away as they just laughed together.
Yunho finally agreed to tell the story behind Bambi, his stuffed deer, and showed Jaejoong some of his pics.
-I knew it. You totally used to sleep cuddled to it.
-Ah, ah. Very funny. I was a little kid.
-But you kept it.
-Of course. My mom gave it to me. Oh, she was so pretty. Let me see if I can find the album.
…
When Yunho was putting the album back, he caught sight of some old pics that were loose against the back cover. Jaejoong was distracted laughing at some tv show his own father had gotten everyone addicted to. He checked the pics, they were old pics of his last months at University that he had never got around to placing inside the album. As he did that now, he suddenly noticed a few surprising things.
Jung Min had become such good friends with Heechul because they were already friends before. Heechul was the famous Legend. But then…?
One last picture made his hands shake. Jung Min had taken that picture at his last football game for the University team. It showed the beautiful long blond haired man with the amazing eyes and to die for muscled arms that he dared to ask on a date at first sight. Looking at it made Yunho blink his eyes, trying to check if he was imagining things.
However, the same face kept looking back at him. Those eyes were Jaejoong’s eyes that could capture an entire room. Those lips were Jaejoong’s lips that could make him lose his mind when they went over every inch of his skin. And those arms were the same ones that had held him tightly and greedily for so many passionate nights.
As he put that pic inside the album and the album on the bookcase, Yunho was smiling to himself, finally realising one little detail that had always bothered him. He had been so attracted to Jaejoong, at what he thought was first sight, when he had investigated the business man for his possible connection to Taemin’s disappearance and it had always bugged him a little. Why should Jaejoong be the one to stand out? Yet now he had his answer. Because it wasn’t the first time he felt attracted to the beautiful man.
Yunho sat back on the sofa next to Jaejoong and as if it was perfectly natural and something they did all the time, his hand sneaked to hold the slim man’s waist. There was no resistance. Jaejoong continued laughing at the tv. However, as the moments passed by, the beautiful man seemed to lean more and more against Yunho, until his head was resting comfortably on the taller man’s shoulder.
…
He felt so comfortable and at ease that it was about an hour later that Jaejoong finally realised that he was watching tv with his head on Yunho’s shoulder while the cop’s hand was on his waist. When he dared to look at the man, Yunho was peacefully sleeping. Jaejoong’s heart raced in his chest. He had missed seeing that so much.
Jaejoong tried to get up so that Yunho could sleep more comfortably but found himself being pulled back to the sofa and pushed between the back of the sofa and Yunho’s hard body.
-Don’t leave. I missed you.
-Yun… Yunho?
-I missed your smell, your warmth. I missed falling asleep cuddling you. Do you have any idea how hard it is to fall asleep without you?
Jaejoong swallowed hard. He actually had a good idea of how hard it was to fall asleep alone. He felt lost for words while Yunho tried to find a comfortable spot for his head in the slim man’s shoulder. The beautiful man was being trapped by cute sleepy cuddly Yunho. A cute sleepy cuddly Yunho that was touching almost every inch of his body and making him crazy aware of exactly how much he had missed the other man as well.
…
With his body hyper aware of Yunho, Jaejoong felt his hormones starting to kick in. After a few movements from the tall man against his body, while Yunho tried to find a comfortable sleeping position, the business man was feeling himself going a little crazy. His body was responding to the cop’s hard muscles settling on top of him. Responding in a very familiar way. Jaejoong tried his best to keep still, hoping that Yunho would soon sleep again so that he could try to get away. But one harder crotch movement made him lose control and Jaejoong sunk his nails on Yunho’s back dragging them slowly until he cupped the man’s ass to make him repeat the delicious thrust.
-Oh, God!
It was Yunho’s husky low voice on his ear that had Jaejoong coming to his senses.
-Shit! Did I hurt you?
-Oh, fuck! I missed that.
Yunho almost keened against his neck, slowly thrusting again and Jaejoong felt lost, unsure of what to do. Yunho’s erection was now very obviously rubbing on his own. Jaejoong’s entire body shook on an effort to keep control. He didn’t want to simply jump the cop. Well, he did but not like this. He knew very well that Yunho wasn’t fully aware of what he was doing. Besides he had no idea if old habits should be kept, much as he wanted to sink his nails on those muscles again.
“I want something that will last, more than a simple satisfaction for lust. Why are you making this so hard for me? If a proper relationship with you means vanilla sex, I’ll gladly do it. As long as you don’t want to suddenly top all the time. That, no way. But I have no problem leaving the excessive force out of the sex. I mean, I’ll… Fuck! Fuck! Oh, fuck! I so want to just… Ok, so realistically, the never any excessive force might be too much. Maybe one night or another? Ah, shit! Yunho, wake up and talk to me! Wait… wait a minute. He’s sleepy, it’s like truth serum. I can just ask. That’s it.”
-Yunnie…?
-Hummm… Missed you.
-Me too. I missed you like crazy. Really I did. You have no idea how much. Listen, can I ask you something?
-Anything.
Yunho’s mumbled answers against his sensitive neck were making Jaejoong have a hard time thinking. He breathed deeply.
-Do you really like hard sex?
-You hurt me so good. I miss it. My skin doesn’t have a single mark anymore.
Yunho lifted his head to show Jaejoong an annoyed pout before he cuddled again.
-B-but… doesn’t that… I mean… Oh, fuck! But if I hurt you doesn’t it bring bad memories?
-Good ones. Really sexy good ones.
-I raped you.
-Huh? That was ages ago. We’ve talked and talked about it. Just. Get. Over. It. I mean the good sex. Miss that.
-Do you just miss the sex? - Jaejoong asked in a soft almost scared voice.
-Stupid. Miss you. Just you.
Yunho seemed to doze off for a few seconds, leaving Jaejoong in a flutter of feelings. Then his head jumped up and he looked straight at the slim man, even pointing a finger at his face.
-Do you miss me just cause I let you fuck my ass?
-What? Ah, you and that sleepy mouth. Would I put up with you just cause of that? And you’re Mr. Big and Huge and I let you fuck me too.
-You’re so sexy when you’re angry.
Yunho smiled happily and went back to sleeping, this time for good. Jaejoong blinked. His body wanted noting with sleep. He hugged Yunho and found out to his delight that the man’s presence was as effective as ever in helping him fall asleep.
…
Yunho woke up with a pleasant feeling but with sore muscles. He figured he was still sleeping, dreaming of Jaejoong judging by the memory of the man’s body next to him and his raging erection. He tried to cling to the dream a little longer.
Only to jump when he heard a moan that had sounded way too real and hot breath on his ear.
-Jae…?
Jaejoong blinked his eyes and then turned to sleep more. Right into Yunho’s arms. The cop froze. Looking down he sighed in relief to see that they were both fully clothed. His throat closed up a little noticing that Jaejoong seemed to have a similar problem on his trousers.
-Hey… we fell asleep watching tv. Better wake up. Come on. Morning already.
-Shut up. Sleep.
Yunho thought of what to do for about two seconds. Then he just hugged Jaejoong even closer to his body, only being careful to not rub their erections together. He sighed. Finally hugging Jaejoong felt like being home.
The business man tried to go back to sleep but gave up when he couldn’t. He blinked up to find Yunho with his eyes closed and a peaceful expression that made him smile.
A loud alarm rang from some room, jolting them both.
-Ah, fuck! Time to go to work. - Pouted Yunho.
-Go take a bath, I’ll help with breakfast.
-But…?
-I’m the boss. I can arrive late.
-Ok. Ah… thanks.
-Sure.
Just before Yunho turned to leave the living room, taking especial care to hide his erection from Jaejoong’s eyes, the business man laughed and decided to tease the cop a little. He kissed him briefly on the cheek. Yunho blushed deep red and disappeared from the room. Jaejoong had never made pancakes in a happier mood in his entire life.
When Yunho returned and smelled the pancakes, he practically raced to taste them.
-Oh, my God! Marry me!
-You never told me you make an orgasm face when you eat pancakes.
Jaejoong found himself laughing again at Yunho’s shocked face. His laughter died however when the taller man nearly trapped him against the balcony to get some cups from the higher shelves. Yunho made sure to place his groin pressing right at Jaejoong’s slim hip, knowing that even if he was now reasonably soft, the beautiful man would be able to feel him. A shy embarrassed blush rewarded him when he looked back at Jaejoong. He gave one cup to the business man with a smile and went to sit on a chair.
After some moments to get his breathing back to normal, Jaejoong sat down as well. They ate in silence, stealing not so secret glances at each other.
When Jaejoong said goodbye and turned to go to his own car, Yunho pulled him softly by his hand. Then with both hands holding Jaejoong’s face, he placed one very deliberately slow kiss on the man’s blushing cheeks.
-See ya.
By the time Yunho had already driven around the corner, Jaejoong was still frozen on the same spot. He had finally noticed one small thing. That kiss had touched him right at the corner of his lips. Yunho had kissed the side of his lips. Kissed. He could still feel the tingle. Yunho had nearly kissed him. On the mouth.
