Chapter Two - Engagement

Heechul walked into his friend’s office and shook his head as he saw him sleeping on his desk with papers strewn everywhere. He patted Yunho’s shoulder but the latter didn’t wake up. It wasn’t a new to him because he often saw Yunho slept at the time when he should have worked. And because of that, he had already had a way to wake the sleeping king up. He bended down, bringing his mouth near his ear and he whispered, “Wow, there is a hot chick walking around on the road.”

Tada~ he was once again success as Yunho woke up immediately. “Where? Where?” he exclaimed mirthfully and looked around but pouted as he did not see the hot chick but Heechul.

Heechul burst out laughing as he held onto his stomach. Seeing the expression on the other’s face made him thinking about a bear that lost in the battle with a cat. It was such a joy for him seeing Yunho pouted and groaned in annoyance. Called him weird but it was the truth.

“Aish.” Yunho groaned and leaned backward on his chair.

“Sorry man.” Heechul started. “But you do not wake up anyway.” He wiped away the tears on his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt and chuckled.

“Whatever.” Yunho rolled his eyes.

“Hey Yunho.” Heechul spoke after he calmed himself down, “Every time I go to your office you’re always sleeping. I cannot wake you up forever you know. You need a wife.” He pointed out matter-of-factly.

“Oh, you just don’t know Heechul~” Yunho countered, “I will be engaged to someone that I don’t know. My soon-to-be-fiancé is better pretty or else.” he sighed as he leaned down and rested his left cheek on the marble desk.

Heechul tsk-ed him and sat on a chair across from Yunho. “That’s good. Finally, you aren’t single anymore.”

“Who says I’m single?” Yunho raised his eyebrows and grinned. Heechul rolled his eyes as he crossed his legs and kept silent. His Casanova friend was so full of himself. Yunho pouted when he got no respond. He straightened his sit as he cleared the cluttered desk. Suddenly, he remembered something that made him smiled widely. “And you know Heechul?” he started and gushed. “I met a beautiful man yesterday.”

Heechul looked at him thoughtfully and saw the man in front of him was smiling mischievously. “You’re not doing anything to that person, right?” Heechul inquired suspiciously as he narrowed his eyes. He had known Yunho for so long and so he knew a habit of his who wouldn’t let go such a beautiful creature.

“No.” Yunho shook his head and smirked, “I just kissed him.”

And Heechul sighed. His friend doesn’t change at all and he hoped he would change someday. Then, he saw something that he didn’t realize before. “Hey Yunho.”

“What?”

“There is slobber on your face. Clean up please.”

+++++

“Say, do you wanna go out to the mall later in the afternoon?”

Jaejoong glanced towards Yoochun who was stabbing his frog before he turned his gaze back to his own frog. He anesthetized the frog in advance so as not to feel the pity and the pain when being cut. Well, albeit it would die anyway.

“I cannot.” He countered.

“Why?”

Jaejoong stabbed the frog’s legs in its place using needles, then cut its chest and noticed that its heart was still beating. “My mother told me to buy a pair of new clothes to wear tonight. Didn’t Junsu tell you?”

“Yes, he did.” Yoochun nodded. “I just wonder why aunty wants you to buy new clothes.”

Jaejoong shrugged his shoulders slightly, a sign that he didn’t know either. He cut the poor frog’s stomach and prying disemboweled filled with toad eggs that were super-fishy. ‘Ah~ I’m sorry frog-chan. I don’t know you’re pregnant. Well, may you do rest in peace.’ And he took the knife.

+++++

“Here honey, try this one.” Mrs. Kim smiled as she handed his son a dark blue suit.

Jaejoong sighed, his mother told him to try some suits and this was the tenth time he had tried them. He thought he would just buy a pair of casual outfit as his mother promised him before but instead she bought him to a formal shop and when he asked what for, she only smiled. His mother poked his arm again and he, by necessity, went into the fitting room.

“Honey?” Mrs. Kim called him after several minutes passed by.

“Coming Eomma.” Jaejoong exclaimed and came out seconds later.

His mother clapped her hands happily, amazed to see her son looked very handsome wearing that suit. “Perfect.” She said as she pulled his son’s hand and dragged him to the cashier.

“Wait, wait Eomma. I haven’t changed!”

+++++

“Hyung~ are you ready?” Junsu asked and waited for his brother at the front door of his room.

“Yes~ wait a minute.” Jaejoong exclaimed from inside his room.

The door opened and Junsu frowned. He saw his hyung came out with a suit. “Why are you wearing formal clothes like that hyung?”

Jaejoong shrugged. “Don’t know, Eomma asks me to wear this suit.” he lifted the hem of his suit slightly and pursed his lips when he saw Junsu wore casual clothes. ‘Not fair~’

“Ow.. Don’t like that hyung. You’re still handsome wearing that suit.” Junsu chuckled.

Jaejoong smiled and ruffled Junsu’s hair lovingly making Junsu pouted as he grumbled that his hair became a mess.

“Jaejoong, Junsu, hurry up honey.” called their mother from downstairs.

Both of them looked at each other and grins spread across their faces. “I will be the first to get to Eomma!” Junsu exclaimed as he ran, followed by Jaejoong who shouted that he was being unfair.

“Aw ... aw ... my kids are sweet. Don’t run around honey.” Mrs. Kim caressed her sons’ hair when they reached the front, panting a little.

“Hooray, I won!” Junsu jumped up and down happily while Jaejoong pouted.

“Aish, these kids. Hurry up or we’ll be late.” Mr. Kim called inside the car and they immediately complied.

++++++

“What are we doing here again, Appa?” Jaejoong inquired as he looked up at the building in front of him.

“We have a dinner with my best friend’s family, Jaejoong-ah.”

Jaejoong didn’t believe that he would eat at this kind of place. The place was too luxurious for him, he prefers to eat at the usual place, a fancy Japanese restaurant, but he would try to bear with it for the night because he felt something was going to happen tonight and that something was important for his parents.

“Come on hyung!” Junsu said as he dragged Jaejoong in. Only him the one who appears to be happy with that luxury.

They were greeted by a few waiters and they led them into the inner part of the restaurant, to one of the VIP rooms. Jaejoong couldn’t help but eyes darted everywhere in the classy place. Once they were inside, he saw an old man and woman sitting on the chairs.

“Ah, good evening Yunhwan-ah.” Mr. Kim hugged the old man and patted his back friendly.

Mrs. Kim did the same thing to the old woman. And Jaejoong frowned slightly when he saw his mother just smiled half-hearted to the old man. They chatted for a while before Mr. Kim introduced them.

“Jaejoong, Junsu. These are Mr. and Mrs. Jung, my best friend since childhood.” Their father said and both of them bowed in respect and greet politely. “And these are our Jaejoong and Junsu.” He added.

Mr. Jung merely smiled and Mrs. Jung approached them. “Oh, my, my, you two are very cute and pretty.” She complimented while caressing their cheeks lovingly and Jaejoong felt the warmth that radiated from her smile.

Then they all sat down on the round table in a place that has been provided. Jaejoong still looked timidly while Junsu was active as usual. He smiled when the waitress poured him a drink in his glass and mouthed thank you. He glanced towards the chair next to Mrs. Jung and wondered. ‘Is there someone who is not attending?’

As though as an answer to his thought, she confirmed. “Our son was in the bathroom. He’ll be back soon.”

Jaejoong, caught of guard, could only smile sheepishly. He grabbed the plate of pastrami and bowed his head down to cover his face that was red from embarrassment while cutting the pastrami slowly but frowned. ‘Why is it so hard?’

“Oh, here is our son.” Mrs. Jung said.

All eyes (except for Jaejoong’s, who was cutting the pastrami earnestly) were on the tall figure, neatly dressed in suit like Jaejoong. The man bowed and greeted them politely, “Good evening Mr. and Ms. Kim. Pleased to meet you.” he said before he sat on his seat.

“Oh, good evening son.” Mr. Kim countered, “You become more handsome since the last time I saw you when you were kid.” he said, laughing along with his wife, Mr. and Ms. Jung.

Jaejoong had a satisfied grin on his face as he successfully cut the pastrami and shoved it into his mouth. He then heard Junsu murmured ‘what a handsome man.’ before he looked up to the man who had just come. Jaejoong eyes widened and nearly chocked on his own food (but thank god he didn’t or he’d be create another embarrassing moment). He could not believe the son of his parents’ friend was the man who had kissed him without his permission.

“What the?!” he exclaimed in surprise, gripping the spoon tightly.

“Jaejoong! Where is your manner?”

Jaejoong gasped, his father looked at him sharply and he knew that he made a wrong move. He got up, “I’m sorry, Appa, Eomma, Mr. Jung and Mrs. Jung.” He bowed before he sat down again.

“It’s okay.” Mr. Jung laughed and Mrs. Jung merely smiled.

“Yunho, this is our son, Jaejoong and Junsu.” Mr. Kim introduced them to Yunho.

“Junsu!” Junsu mirthfully held out his hand to him.

Yunho shook his hand before turning to Jaejoong. “Hey.” he greeted, offering his hand while gave the other his charming smiled.

‘Behave, behave Jaejoong.’ Jaejoong murmured softly before he shook Yunho’s hand, “Jaejoong.” and gave his smile half-hearted at him.

‘We meet again eh.’ Yunho smirked. He felt really grateful to his parents and didn’t regret to not refuse the engagement if his fiancé was this pretty and yummy. ‘But there are two people here, I do not know which one my fiancé is but it does not matter because both are cute. Hahaha.’ he chuckled to himself.

Jaejoong felt shiver through his body when he saw Yunho’s expression, it looked evil to him. He turned to Junsu who was munching his food and nudged him.

“What?”

“Su,” Jaejoong whispered. “That man is the person who stole my kiss!”

Junsu gasped and looked at Yunho before he looked back at Jaejoong. “Wow. Lucky you hyung! He’s handsome!” he whispered back with a giggle.

Jaejoong huffed and rolled his eyes. ‘What a brother…’

“Ehrmm...” Mr. Jung cleared his throat and all eyes looked at him. “Okay, tonight we have dinner to announce the engagement of our children.”

Jaejoong raised an eyebrow. ‘Heh? Just to announce the engagement of their family? But where is the other guest?’ he said to himself and looked around, ‘Why is only my family? Ah, whatever.’ Jaejoong shrugged.

“Jaejoong?”

“Yes, Appa?”

“Yunho?”

“Yes Dad?”

“Tonight we officially announce the engagement between both of you, Kim Jaejoong and Jung Yunho.”

Jaejoong nodded thoughtfully, ‘Okay, the engagement between Kim Jaejoong and Jung Yun― Wait!’. “WHAT?!” he exclaimed loudly, eyes wide. And all the people there had to close their ears. Junsu mentally noted that Jaejoong have to be a singer.

Yunho merely grinned and murmured. “What a beautiful life.”

++++++

“Eomma, Appa, do you not mistaken this?” Jaejoong raised his eyebrows. “I’m still young, still have a long way before engage nor marriage comes!” he protested and huffed indignantly, trying to persuade his parents to cancel his engagement. They currently were in a room besides the VIP room as he had asked his parent to have a private talk with him right after he heard the announcement.

“Aish, Jaejoong-ah.” Eomma stroked his hair softly. “We cannot cancel this engagement.”

“But eomma~” he whined, clingy to his mother.

“Please Jaejoong-ah.” She coaxed him and kissed his forehead.

“But eomma, I do not want an engagement!” Jaejoong insisted.

“Oh!” his father finally spoke up after a while listening to his son and his wife. “You prefer to marry directly without the need to engage first, Jaejoong-ah?” he gushed.

“Appa!” And Jaejoong really want to slap his father’s forehead.

++++++

Jaejoong and his parents made their way to the Jung family and Junsu who were talking happily while laughing and Jaejoong hoped that Junsu didn’t talk about him.

“I’m sorry we’ve made you wait.” Mrs. Kim apologized as she sat down next to Mrs. Jung.

“It’s okay.” Mrs. Jung smiled, “We know they must be shock suddenly hearing this news.”

And they laughed. Jaejoong merely glanced at his father who was also laughing and then at Mr. Jung who just smiled, looking at the direction of Mrs. Jung and his mother.

“Hey Jaejoong-ah,” Yunho started, “Let’s go somewhere else.”

Jaejoong turned his gaze to Yunho and quickly turned his face away when Yunho winked at him.

“Oh, right. Jaejoong ah, go with Yunho. You’re about to get married so you need to know one another mutually.” Mr. Kim said.

Jaejoong sighed. He has no choice but to obey their parents, moreover he didn’t want to disappoint them. “Come on Junsu.” He dragged Junsu along with him.

“Wait, wait, hyung.” -much to Junsu’s protest.

++++++

“Aish! Why did you drag me with you?” Junsu inquired, lips pouted.

“Because,” Jaejoong countered. “I do not want to be left alone with this person!” he pointed an accused finger at Yunho.

Yunho tsk-ed him, wagging his fingers. “I have a name. It’s Yunho and you said pointing a finger to others is not polite.” He smirked when Jaejoong dropped his hands immediately, his face reddening from embarrassment. “You’re cute when you’re shy, you know.” He chuckled.

“Shut up!” Jaejoong pouted, tapping his feet as he walked away.

Junsu could only laugh seeing his hyung’s antics but shouted, calling his name when he saw a little hole in front of Jaejoong.

“Watch out!” Yunho ran towards his fiancé.

Jaejoong turned around, although he could evade the hole but unfortunately he could not stop his stride, his left leg twisted with his right leg and fell. Junsu covered his face with his palms, wondering why his hyung could be this clumsy.
