Nerdy Deception Part 4
Fo'Sho' (Not Really)
“Jaejoong-ah!”
The frail boy turned towards the voice, only to be engulfed in someone’s arms in a tight bear hug. His glasses almost fell from his eyes, and Jae had to reach up with his hands to keep them in place; the other smiled when he felt his shy friend hug him back.
Yunho pulled back but kept his arms around him and distance still close.
“Good morning!”
Jaejoong peeked from his glass frames endearingly.
“…Good morning…” he whispered
“Aww Jae~! Stop being so nervous, we’re friends right?” Yunho pulled the other closer into another hug.
“F-Friends?” the word was new here.
The taller of the two frowned at this, “Yes friends. Jaejoong-ah, we’re gonna be the closest friends okay?”
Jaejoong felt that certain feeling bubble in his chest again. He felt light-headed and happy and warm. He liked it very much.
“O-Okay…” Jae hid a smile by unconsciously burying his head in Yunho’s chest.
The other couldn’t hold back a grin at the adorable movement and shy answer. God, how much was he going to get attached to this innocent creature?
“Good,” Yunho leaned close to the cutie’s ear, “Because I don’t plan on letting you go Jaejoong-ah.”
And said boy felt hot in the face, a first for him. He quietly whimpered at the thought and assumed he was getting sick. Did Yunho have a cold?
--
As soon as Jaejoong left his classroom, Yunho had grabbed him while saying something about the other sitting with him from now on. So as Jae tried to process what was going on, he was placed down in a table filled with strangers. Yunho sat next to him, close.
“Who’s the sweetie you kidnapped Yunho?”
“I didn’t kidnap him Yoochun. This is Jaejoong” he responded sharply.
Yoochun whistled playfully, “Jaejoong huh? I’ve never seen you around. You know, if you take off those glasses, you’d make everyone here cum.”
Jae blushed fiercely and covered his face. Now he would never take off his glasses, Yoochun sounded like he had threatened him.
Yunho wrapped an arm around his tiny waist, “Stop it Chun. One more word and I’ll dislocate your neck.”
His best friend gripped his neck protectively.
“Hey! Chill, Yun! No need to bully me and my neck” the other boy in the table shook his head. He then faced Jaejoong and offered a friendly smile that got him to ease up.
“Hi, I’m Kim Kibum. Nice to meet you Jaejoong-ah.”
“Well at least Kibum-ah’s being normal” Yunho mumbled and tightened his grip.
“Nice to meet you too Kibum-sshi…”
Yoochun suddenly recovered from his earlier state and leaned close to the table and Jaejoong’s face. The latter had to push his head back to retain his personal space. Yunho was practically seething in anger.
“And I’m Yoochun. Park Yoochun, “he took Jae’s hand, “But you can call me boyfriend~”
He made a move to kiss the pale, small hand but Yunho acted quickly. The punch was hard and swift, and it sent Yoochun flying to the side. Jaejoong was shocked at what he saw.
“Sorry about that Jae. That thing has the tendency to flirt with anything he thinks is beautiful” Yunho grumbled
Kibum suppressed a giggle, “And Yun’s not trying very hard to hide his jealousy huh?”
“Jealous? Me? Pssh, why would I be jealous?” Denial.
“You tell me. Why is Jaejoong on your lap?”
It was true. Yunho had Jaejoong on his lap, an arm securely draped on his waist and the other pushing his head at the crook of his neck. The innocent boy was red all over.
Yunho didn’t miss a beat, “I’m protecting him from all the eyes that are staring. Especially Yoochun’s wandering ones. That dumbass needs to back off.”
Another fact. The whole student body was gaping at their Kingka’s action to a boy they’ve never seen before. They glowered in envy, resentment and annoyance, all directed at the uncomfortable figure sitting on their idol and love. The sad thing was, Jaejoong all sensed it. Poor baby was close to tears at this new-unwanted-attention.
Yunho heard him sniff, “Jae? Jae, what’s wrong?”
He drew back to see the face with puffy red eyes, flushed cheeks covered in crystalline tears. Now don’t get Yunho wrong, he never wanted to make Jaejoong cry…but the sight he saw made him want to eat Jae up. Literally. Just…devour him…GOD, HE WAS TOO ADORABLE.
“Jaejoong-ah…I’m sorry. Here, let’s go” without warning, Yunho lifted him bridal style and walked away.
He missed the appalled gasps people let out.
Kibum, this time, didn’t hold back his laughter.
‘Yeah Yunho…you were definitely not jealous. Tch, he’s acting like a possessive boyfriend!’
He then heard groaning.
“Uhh…Kibummie? Can you take me to the nurse? I think Yunho broke my nose…”
Oh right. Yoochun was currently dying.
--
Jaejoong’s feet rested on the ground after he finally convinced Yunho that he could walk. He was reluctant to let him go but decided to respect his boo’s wishes-don’t ask. Yunho thought it was a great nickname. Not that he’ll ever tell Jae about it.
“From now on, if someone ever bothers you, tell me. I don’t want anyone laying their hands on you Jaejoong-ah.” His protective friend suddenly announced, hands in his pockets, trying to look cool for him.
Jae glanced at him with twinkling, big eyes; full of admiration and trust and security and dependence. Things he wasn’t allowed to feel as a SIN agent. But things he was allowed to feel as a person.
“Thank you…Yunho” he would at least let the other know a portion of what he was feeling. Jae never was good at expressing his emotions.
“No problem! And also, I want you to know that…that I-I’m gonna walk with you every day” Yunho saw Jaejoong gaze at him curiously, “J-Just for protection! People these days are corrupt…s-so…so I…you know…”
Dammit! What was he stuttering for?! It was only Jaejoong! His cute…loveable…sweet…vulnerable…enchanting… Anyway! It was only his boo! No one special.
“Okay” before Yunho could continue his rant, Jae spoke.
The latter thought it was better if he could give his answer to his suddenly nervous companion.
“Okay? Okay. Okay! Right, umm…I’ll see you tomorrow b-Jaejoong-ah!” stupid mouth, almost giving away the nickname.
Yunho ruffled Jae’s head affectionately without looking at those doe eyes. He left without looking back, not spotting the glittering eyes watching him until he turned to the corner.
‘Yunho…’
Jaejoong’s cellphone rang and brought him back to reality. He looked at it and pouted.
:) Minnie-ah: We have a case. Get here now.

“AISH! What the hell’s the matter with me?”
Yunho rested his body on the concrete wall. His mind was in chaos filled with Jaejoong and Hero.
“Why do I act like that to Jaejoong? Don’t I love Hero? Ugh…my brain’s not acting with my body! But…but I like doing those things with Jaejoong. Wait why? Why do I like doing those things to Jaejoong?!”
He scratched his head in frustration.
‘I want to do those things with Hero too…Yeah, I want to hold Hero and hug him and kiss him…I know I want to.’
Yunho’s eyes widened, “Do I like both of them?”
…
“Nawh. One person can’t like two people. It’s either one or the other!”
‘So Jaejoong or Hero?’
He suddenly heard sirens from the other side of the wall. Yunho peeked and saw the many police cars and such surrounding a tall building.
‘Won’t hurt to check it out.’
The closer Yunho got, the closer he could make out the figures of police officers, reporters, citizens and…and…No. way. He ran to the scene.
--
“Hyung! What took you so long?” Xiah greeted Hero with a smile.
“I’m sorry”
Max uncrossed his arms, “It doesn’t matter. We’re only here for investigating. This building was suspected to be a hideout for DD.”
“Well it’s a good thing it’s not stake out. Hero-hyung has school tomorrow” Xiah winked from behind his mask.
“About that. Kangin said-“
“HERO!”
Three pairs of eyes saw Yunho just beyond the lines being stopped by officers. Jaejoong gaped in shock.
Max raised an eyebrow, “Jung Yunho? What’s he doing here?”
He and Junsu looked at their smallest member in question/amusement.
“Hero! Hero, it’s me! Yunho!”
Jaejoong closed his mouth and pretended not to notice him.
“Hero!”
“Sir, I’m afraid I have to ask you to leave. SIN is here on business, no one can bother them right now.” A cop informed, trying to lead Yunho away.
“But I have to see him! I have to talk to Hero again!”
“Sir please! You can get hurt!”
“Do I look like I give a shit?!” For a gorgeous young man, he had quite a mouth.
Two more police guards came to restrain him in difficulty. Changmin and Junsu faced Jae again.
“Hero…”
As if on cue, Jaejoong turned around to Yunho, who froze when he saw him.
‘He’s my friend’
Slowly, Jaejoong raised his hand and waved to the frozen boy. He even gave him a soft smile, something Yunho will see even if he was in the other side of the world. His heart burst in happiness.
And just like that, Yunho was taken away while Jae quickly put his hand down and went closer to Changmin to hide. Junsu snickered at this.
“Well well hyungie…what do we have here~?”
Hearing Junsu’s tone, Jaejoong blushed brighter. Changmin rolled his eyes and sighed at his two teammates' behaviors.
‘I can’t believe what I’m seeing…Jae-hyung falling in love without his knowledge.’
--
He saw him. Hero saw him! Yunho was grinning ear to ear even though he was kicked out from the crime scene. Nothing mattered, as long as his love saw him.
“He even smiled at me!”
Yunho jumped in glee and pumped his fists in the air. He was more than sure now!
Jung Yunho loved Hero. And only Hero.
