Chapter 13 - This erratic heartbeat
“Chun, I...” Yunho started, “I think I saw him as more than a friend. I think I love Kim Jaejoong,”
***
Jaejoong drive his jaguar with a heavy feeling. He didn’t want to go to campus and face the situation. On the other hand, he feels the urgency to see Yunho. He needs to know his condition.
He parked his car and walked with a lot more burden than yesterday towards the building. Through his walk, he can hear voices. They’re like buzz in his ears.
Like the previous experience, they’re talking about Jung Yunho, but now on a more specific topic: the fight between Jung Yunho and Park Yoochun. They recite every details, every part again and again, again and again. Just like a broken record.
Sure, Yunho and Yoochun are like the celebrities in this campus. It’s not something new to talk about them. But the news is all the more surprising, when it involves the fight between Jung Yunho and Park Yoochun. Nobody had assumed that they can actually fight with each other.
No one knows the reason of the fight, that’s why gossipers dig into this issue more than anything. Especially this happened after the Choi’s fight, they connected these events but with their own versions.
Jaejoong catch the words of “love triangle” or “it’s about girls” several times, however he stays silent and continue walking.
If only they knew.
***
Jaejoong can’t concentrate on his class at all. He tried to block his guilt from consuming him. Above all, he can’t when the girls sitting behind went on and on about the story of Jung Yunho, the prince and Park Yoochun’s betrayal, a whole new version of the fight story.
Omo...
Jaejoong rubbed his own temples multiple times through the class. When the lecturer finally ends the class, he’s more than happy to scamper away from the class until he runs into someone.
“Oof, that’s hurt,” that someone said.
Jaejoong looked at the other with anxiety, “Sorry,” he murmured.
The other throws a curious look at Jaejoong, “Why are you looking at me like that?” Yoochun asked, as he ignores curious looks thrown at him.
“Nothing, it’s just,” Jaejoong eyed the bruise near Yoochun’s mouth, other than that he (at least his face) looks fine. “Are you okay?”
“Yes, of course,” Yoochun said as he continue his path alongside Jaejoong, noticing Jaejoong’s curious gaze over his bruise, “This little bruise won’t do any harm to me,”
“Oh,” Jaejoong thinks hard as he walked. He didn’t know what to say to Yoochun.
Yoochun eyed Jaejoong’s uneasy expression, “You know who caused it right?”
“Uh?”
“You know who caused this right?” Yoochun repeated.
Slowly Jaejoong nodded.
“Do you know what caused the fight?”
Jaejoong stopped walking and turned to look at Yoochun instantly, “I...”
“Honestly, you knew the reason, right?”
When Jaejoong stays silent, Yoochun continue his questions, “I need your decision,” Yoochun come a step closer towards Jaejoong, their gaze met, “Right now,”
“Me or Jung Yunho?”
Jaejoong is at the loss of words. He shook his head,
“This is not what I wanted,” Jaejoong said.
Yoochun seems to know what Jaejoong are talking about, or at least he thinks he knew, “I know, it just happened, but I -”
“Jaejoong!!”
That familiar voice. A voice, Jaejoong wants to hear ever since yesterday, which eventually makes him forget about Yoochun. He searched for the source of voice and found him.
Unconsciously, Jaejoong smiled when he caught the glimpse of Yunho. This, certainly, makes certain someone’s blood boiled.
When Jaejoong automatically tried to walk away from him, a hand caught Jaejoong’s left hand. Jaejoong looked at Yoochun and their hands.
“Yoochun, let go,”
“No,” Yoochun throw a heated glare towards Yunho, heated enough even from their distance.
“Please,”
“Where do you want to go?”
“I need to see him, please...” Jaejoong plead, as he tried to pull his hand from Yoochun’s grip.
“Is this your answer, Kim Jaejoong?” Yoochun asked desperately. In such pain, which makes Jaejoong stop struggling. He looked at Yoochun’s eyes.
Jaejoong saw hurt.
And he saw pain.
Above all, he also saw hate.
Jaejoong looked at Yunho once again, who wait for him in a distance.
“Yoochun, sorry,”
It was only two words. It was only a whisper, but, it’s enough. That one word holds so many meanings, the answer to their situation, and the answer for Yoochun’s question.
Jaejoong had apologized to him.
After he heard that, Yoochun let Jaejoong slip from his hand.
***
Yoochun never thought he will face this day so fast. The day when he should received the reality.
Reality which consist many facts he avoided so much.
The fact that: Jung Yunho is still better than him in all possible way.
The fact that he hated: how Yunho always winning, always better than him, always no.1.
And the truth that: all this time he holds jealousy, a very dark and deep jealousy towards his best friend.
Yoochun stand rooted to the place where he received Jaejoong’s answer. He ignores all the questions and looks thrown at him.
He hates Jung Yunho.
He hates the truth.
Above all, he hates how low his self actually is.
***
“Why are you wearing sunglassess?” Jaejoong enquire curiously. He walked together with Yunho, aimlessly.
“I just feel like it,” Yunho answered carelessly. He’s still processing the earlier event. He saw how Yoochun hold Jaejoong’s hand and prevent Jaejoong from meeting him, but Jaejoong decided to saw him. From that far distance, he absolutely can’t hear a word they are saying.
But, is Yoochun really likes Jaejoong to that extent?
Is he really serious this time?
Then, why Jaejo-?
“Ack,” Yunho said, as he can feel someone’s taking his sunglasses.
Jaejoong gasped as he saw Yunho’s black eye.
“Have you put an oinment or something?” Jaejoong nearly yell.
“No, I don’t need to,” Yunho quickly grabbed the sunglasses back.
“Who said you don’t need it? Do you want a permanent black eye?” Jaejoong continue his rambling, “You better come with me now, Jung Yunho,” Jaejoong pulled Yunho’s jacket.
***
“Bruise in the cheek, a black eye, scraped hands and a nice purple-black bruise in the stomach,” Jaejoong listed, as they walked out from the hospital.
“It’s fine,”
“Who said its fine?” Jaejoong snapped.
Yunho tsk-ed and mumbled, “At least it’s not like what you did to my nose,”
“What did you just say?” Jaejoong asked.
“This is definitely different from what I did,” acting on the spur of the moment, Jaejoong pinched and pulled Yunho’s nose.
“Awww!”
“Well, at least it’s back to normal again,”
Despite his weird heart which beat so fast suddenly, Yunho wave his hand casually and said, “Eventually, these bruises will be gone and I’ll be back to normal again. No worries,”
Yunho walked to Jaejoong’s jaguar, however he stopped and turned back to look at Jaejoong’s face, “Or… Do you have any specific reason to be so worried and care about me, eh Kim-Jae-Joong?” he asked this as he smirked to Jaejoong, whose face started to turn red with every single word Yunho stated.
“Definitely not!” Jaejoong said with an indignant huff, he walked past Yunho towards his Jaguar. Primarily to cover his face which getting hotter after he saw Yunho’s suggestive smirks, “Let’s go! It seems hospital make your mind jumbled,”
In his hurry, Jaejoong missed seeing Yunho’s smile faltering.
***
“Where do you want to go, Jaejoongie?” Yunho asked as he looked at the same road for the fifth time.
“Around,” Jaejoong answered, “And who gave you the right to call me Jaejoongie?” Jaejoong asked in an irritated voice, which did not sound so irritated to his own ears.
Yunho’s heart nearly stopped beating at the question; he can’t believe he called Jaejoong as Jaejoongie. It seems he really lost in his world as he looks at Jaejoong’s serious-slash-cute-I’m-in-my-own-world expression as he drives. Where did that came from?!
Although his inner side told him to pull his own hair, slapped his face hard and eventually jump from the running car, to cover his embarrassed self, he tried to calm his erratic heartbeat and answered in his smooth voice, “Ehm, you don’t like it? I think it suit you…”
“How about Joongie or Jae-jae or JJ?” Yunho started, he didn’t even know what possessed him so he can continue talking or more like rambling. It seems, after his confession to Yoochun, he had fully accept the fact that: YES, he is in love with a BOY. And not just an ordinary boy, it is Kim Jaejoong! “Hm, that would be very common, what about cutie or ho-…” Yunho still rambling his nonsense, thus he missed Jaejoong’s furious blush.
“Stop it,” Jaejoong cut, “You better give me some directions, places where we can spend some time,”
“Campus?”
“Nu-uh, if it’s unclear enough for you, then I shall break the news.” Jaejoong stopped as the light turned red, “I avoid the campus, Jung Yunho,”
Yunho mouthed a silent “o”.
“Well, that’s good because currently, I also didn’t like that place,”
Yunho think for a while.
“Ah I know a place!!” Yunho exclaimed suddenly.
***
Jaejoong looked at the scenery in front of him silently. Dumbfounded.
“What’s wrong?” Yunho asked gleefully.
Jaejoong turned his head to Yunho, “I can’t believe this view!” he nearly yelled as he pointed to the flower field in front of him.
“Well, Kim Jaejoong, lesson no. 1,” Yunho said in a lecturer tone
“You don’t need to believe it,” Yunho pulled Jaejoong’s hand.
“You just need to enjoy it!”
When Yunho start to run and laugh, dragging Jaejoong into a full break run too, somehow Jaejoong can’t help but laughing along with him.
While wondering inside, is it normal to have these kinds of erratic heartbeats around you?
Hey, Jung Yunho?

AN: Lalala, so sorry for the long delay in updating this fic. Especially, the person who gave me comments three times in the previous chapter. There, I hope this chapter can satisfy your thirst for the story, for some time. I finished this in one hour, so sorry if its lame, at least we got YUNJAE PROGRESS! YAY!

Now, I have good news (or not?). After three months of training, the office accept me, so I had accomplished the first stage of training and proceed to the next stage of training, which means more works and less spare time, eventually equals to… Lalala~~
