Jaejoong woke up the next day with Mr. Elephant, as named by Junsu, beside him. Loneliness was starting to eat up Jaejoong. Not being able to see Yunho for days was difficult for him. Sadness was the first thing he felt every morning. There was no one who would greet him “Good morning” with a bright smile.
He got out of bed and started his day with his daily dose of caffeine. He took a bath and changed to fresh clothes. They had a meeting for their 5th album except Yunho who was not going to make it because of other activities.
It was still an hour before the meeting but Jaejoong decided to leave early because he had nothing else to do inside the house. It was lonely being all alone. He was going to fetch his car keys inside his room when the doorbell rang.
“Another delivery?” Jaejoong smiled. He guessed that it was now Yoochun’s turn.
“I’m right.” Jaejoong triumphantly stated once he confirmed that it was Yoochun.
“Right about what?” Yoochun asked curiously.
“That you’re next to make a delivery.”
“What delivery?” Yoochun asked, a bit confused. Jaejoong looked at him with equal confusion.
“You have nothing for me?”
“Should I give you something?”
“No, no. Of course not.” Jaejoong said in disappointment. “Come on, let’s go to the company.”
“I’m just joking hyung. I am here for a delivery.” Yoochun admitted and smiled.
“Yah! Yoochun-ah! That wasn’t nice!” Jaejoong pouted.
“I’m sorry. I just can’t help but tease you.” Yoochun laughed.
“Yeah right.” Jaejoong said while having a hard time to hold back a smile.
“Here is my delivery.” Yoochun handed Jaejoong a sealed white envelope.
“What’s this?” Jaejoong examined the envelope.
“It’s probably a letter.”
“I’m gonna open this later.” Jaejoong said. He asked Yoochun to wait for him in the living room while he took his car keys from his room. He left the envelope on top of his bedside table.
Yoochun and Jaejoong arrived in their company building a bit early. Changmin and Junsu still weren’t there.
“Chun, did Yunho contact you lately?” Jaejoong asked.
“No. Why?” Yoochun faced his friend.
“I’m just a bit worried. I haven’t heard anything from him since he left two days ago. He hasn’t called or texted me. He doesn’t answer my calls and texts.” Jaejoong explained.
“You worry too much hyung. I’m sure Yunho hyung is all right.” Yoochun gave Jaejoong an assuring smile.
Jaejoong went home after a very tiring meeting. Planning for their comeback album was very hard work. Everything should be as perfect as possible. Mistakes should be kept at a minimal. His mind was already drained. The five members wanted their input for the album to be as large as possible.
Jaejoong went straight to his room as he was craving for the comfort of his bed. The first thing that he noticed was the white envelope that Yoochun gave him earlier. He took it from his bedside table and sat at the edge of his bed.
After carefully opening the envelope, Jaejoong took out what seemed to be a letter. He opened it and saw Yunho’s handwriting.
To my Kim Jaejoong,
How are you Joongie? I’m sorry for not being there for days now. Don’t worry about me okay? I’m totally fine. I’m the great Jung Yunho, remember? ^^
I just want to express my feelings for you through this letter. Writing a letter might seem outdated, but I don’t care.
I have said this to you countless times, but I will never get tired of saying this over and over again. I love you so much.
You are my inspiration, my source of strength, the one who gives meaning to my life. Thank you Jaejoongie.
Forever yours,
Jung Yunho
After reading Yunho’s letter, Jaejoong found himself crying because of Yunho’s touching words.
“Yunho, I miss you.” Jaejoong whispered to the wind and hoped for his message to be delivered to wherever Yunho was.

The next day was a Sunday, a time for Jaejoong to rest. Jaejoong wasn’t planning on spending his Sunday resting. He decided to compose something on his free time. He was walking towards his study when he heard something.

“What’s that?” Jaejoong wondered and listened to know where the sound came from.

“It sounds very familiar.”

“Your love is all I need?” Jaejoong remembered their song. He went to the windows and took a peek. His eyes went wide when he saw what was going on outside.
Hundreds of fans were outside his house, all of them were holding red balloons and singing Your love is all I need together.
~Your love is all I need

“What’s happening outside? Is there some kind of broadcast or something?” Jaejoong tried to understand the situation.
Right at that moment, his phone rang. Jaejoong immediately answered it.
“Yoochun, there are hundreds of fans outside my house right now! What’s going on?” Jaejoong was starting to panic.

“Hyung, relax. Everything is fine. Junsu, Changmin, and I are also outside your house. We need you to come outside.” Yoochun said from the other line.
“Why? And what are the three of you doing outside?”

“Jaejoong hyung, just come outside and everything will be clear to you.” Yoochun said and hung up.

Jaejoong’s mind was confused at the moment and he just did what Yoochun instructed. He opened his front door and went outside. The fans stopped singing once they saw Jaejoong. He faced hundreds of smiling faces. He couldn’t smile back because he couldn’t grasp what was happening. He scanned the crowd for Yoochun, Junsu, and Changmin to find some answers but he couldn’t see them.
‘Where are those three?’ Jaejoong thought, his worry increasing with every second that passed by.
Suddenly, a single voice was heard singing.
