Park Yoochun did not know how long or far he had walked since he left the hospital. His legs were aching from all the walking but he had not stopped. His eyes were tired from all the crying but his tears were still flowing.
Junsu did not rebut him when he asked if he still loved Eunhyuk. Surely, Junsu would have said something if Yoochun mattered to him.
But he didn’t.
Yoochun knew in his heart that could not be a good thing. Not for him anyway. Eunhyuk probably left for a good reason and if Junsu did not have something going on with Yoochun, he might have happily accepted his ex lover again. Yoochun realised he had become a third party.
He was sure Junsu would not forgive him. Not after what he had done to Yunho. Not after how he had caused Junsu to lose the entire company. He did not know how to face Junsu anymore.
Yoochun did the only thing that came to his mind at that moment.
Make Junsu hate him.
He had to make Junsu hate him so much that he would not feel guilty about getting back with Eunhyuk. It only made sense that Junsu have stronger feelings for his ex lover. He and Yoochun only just started. Even if Junsu did feel hurt by Yoochun’s actions, Eunhyuk would be able to make it better. Since Kim Kang-In was taken care of already, Yoochun could make an exit from Junsu’s life. He only managed to screw it up the moment he appeared and he would only be screwing up Junsu’s life further if he did not leave.
Yet, Yoochun was not as brave as he hoped himself to be.
He realised he could not do without Junsu. He was lost. He had no idea what to do with himself anymore.
That was why since he left the hospital, he only knew to walk far, far away from the man he loved. He told himself he could not stop. He told himself he could not turn back. He could feel his sanity hanging by a thin line. But it did not matter to Yoochun anymore if he did go crazy again. Without Junsu by his side, nothing else made sense anyway.
“Yoochun!”
Yoochun heard his name but he kept telling himself he could not stop walking. He had to get far, far away from Junsu. He had to.
“YOOCHUN! Stop! It’s me! Jaejoong!”
Jaejoong panted as he finally caught up with his dongsaeng. His heart broke when he faced the taller man. Yoochun’s eyes were all puffy and red, his face smeared with tears, dried and fresh ones, and there seemed to be no more life left in him.
“Yoochun? Chunnie… it’s your Jae hyung… I looked all over for you… Shall we go home?”
Jaejoong cooed like a mother as he cupped Yoochun’s face in his hands. He rushed to the hospital when he heard what had happened at Kim Enterprises and knew straight away that his silly dongsaeng must have planned it. He also knew how angry Junsu must be at Yoochun.
When he reached the hospital, he saw Junsu, Changmin and another man he could not recognise. Changmin was not able to tell him much except that Yoochun was at the hospital earlier and that Junsu and Yoochun had a huge fight before the latter left. Jaejoong then decided to drive around the area to search for his dongsaeng.
From how his dongsaeng looked, it must have been more than a huge fight. He shook his dongsaeng gently when he realised Yoochun was not looking at him at all.
“Chunnie, it’s me… please don’t scare me… please say something…”
Yoochun’s eyes finally focused on Jaejoong and as soon as the taller man recognised his hyung, he just threw himself into Jaejoong’s arms.
“Hyung… I hurt Junsu… I hurt him so bad… I’ve lost him… he’ll never forgive me… he’ll never want to see me again… I don’t know what else to do…”
Jaejoong could not make out anything else as Yoochun started to grab harder and sob into his shoulders as he shook uncontrollably. Jaejoong could feel his heart break again.
“Let’s get you home first. “

“Keep an eye on Yunho hyung, Changmin… I need a breath of fresh air…”
Junsu said quietly as he stood up to leave the ward.
Changmin watched as his younger hyung exited the room. When he arrived at the hospital, Junsu was crying and kneeling on the floor. The tall man was shocked and he nearly choked when he saw Eunhyuk with his hyung. When the youngest approached the man on the floor, Junsu simply leaned into Changmin’s arms and continued sobbing. They stayed like that for a long time before Junsu finally stopped. And he had not uttered a word up till that moment. Changmin only managed to find out from Eunhyuk that Junsu had a huge fight with Yoochun. But the other man seemed to find it difficult to explain to the youngest what exactly happened.
Changmin did not know what to think. Everything was getting a little too complicated for him. He only knew Yoochun hyung did something to Kim Enterprises and really hurt Junsu when he met Jaejoong and found out what happened. It was not good that Eunhyuk was back too.
He just wished everything would turn out well for everyone in the end. He sighed as he reached over to Yunho and swept some hair away from the man’s eyes.

“Junsu?”
The said man did not move from his position with his head down but his eyes snapped open when he heard Eunhyuk’s voice. He then felt a weight beside him settle into the couch he was sitting on.
“Coffee?”
Junsu merely shook his head.
Eunhyuk cleared his throat before he spoke again.
“Are you alright?”
A long pause ensued and Eunhyuk wondered if Junsu even heard him.
“No…”
Junsu choked slightly on his soft answer.
Eunhyuk’s gaze darted to the man beside him. When Junsu did not revoke Yoochun’s question about how he felt about Eunhyuk, the man wondered if maybe the smaller man still had feelings for him. Now that Kim Kang-In was arrested, he did not have to hide anymore. Eunhyuk could be with Junsu if the other man still wanted him.
“Are you still upset over what Park Yoochun said?”
Junsu kept silent.
“You don’t have to bother about what he says, Junsu… he’s an asshole… he should not have made use of you to get his revenge.”
“Don’t go on…. Hyuk…”
“I just want you to know that… I’ll be here for you. I’m back now and I’m going to take care of you.”
“No…”
Eunhyuk looked over at Junsu and wondered what the other man meant by that.
“You cannot make things better, Eunhyuk… not this time…”
The shorter man realised Junsu had started crying again when he saw the tear-streaked face staring back at him with sadness so deep, Eunhyuk could feel his own heart twist.
“I cannot do this right now… please just leave me alone…”
Junsu said in his hoarse voice as he stood up to leave.
“Junsu wait… please… let me help you… let me make your sadness go away…”
“Eunhyuk… I mean it… let me be alone… I cannot talk to you now…”
Junsu rebutted, more sternly this time as he struggled to lose the other man’s hold on him.
“You never liked talking about your troubles, but you always share them with me… it’ll be like old times… C’mon…”
“LET GO OF ME!”
Junsu shouted this time, unable to contain his frustrations anymore. Eunhyuk moved back a few steps from Junsu’s push and also from shock.
“You don’t understand! We cannot go back to how it used to be anymore! You cannot make my sadness go away like you used to anymore! Things have changed, Eunhyuk… you may have left for a good reason but truth is… you left… and I was alone.”
Eunhyuk could not bear to see Junsu so heart-broken. He really wanted to show his care and love for the other man. But he could see it in Junsu’s eyes now. He was no longer the one who could tend to Junsu’s wounds anymore.
Junsu sobbed quietly as he sank down into a nearby seat, physically drained by all that had happened.
“When you told me the real reason you left… I was very confused. I was all ready to move on and leave you behind, Eunhyuk. And I don’t deny… it is all because of Yoochun. But when I saw you… when I heard your side of the story, I did not know what to do…”
Eunhyuk could feel his eyes burning up at the sight of Junsu in despair.
“Up till the moment I was arguing with Yoochun… I still had no idea what I was feeling… what I really wanted… I am upset with him… of course I am… but that does not mean I lost my love for him. But yet… I could not let your sacrifice for me to be for nothing.”
“But you already know he was only with you for revenge… Forget him… I’m back now… let me be with you now…”
Junsu raised his head to look up at nothing in particular as tears flowed freely down his cheeks.
“I can’t… can’t forget him, Hyuk… I only realised the moment he said he cared more about revenge than he did about me that… that… “
Junsu could not continue.
“What, Su? What did you realise?”
Junsu let out a long breath.
“I realised… that I… really love him… I love Yoochun, Hyuk… more than I ever loved you… Mi an hae… but my heart is dead now… It died when Yoochun’s love for me… died…”

“Yoochun?”
Jaejoong said gently when he saw that his dongsaeng was stirring. Yoochun cried in his arms for a long while before he finally calmed down and let his hyung bring him home. But since he stopped crying, it was as if he had stopped feeling too. He did not speak, he did not move and he just stared into space. Jaejoong was afraid his sickness might be acting up and quickly fed him his medication before making the younger man sleep.
“Chunnie… are you feeling better? Can you recognise me?”
The only response Jaejoong got was a pair of lifeless eyes staring back at him.
“Yoochun… you know I would worry for you… seeing you like this… please say something… please… I’m begging you…”
“Junsu…”
The older man let out a long sigh.
“I don’t know what happened between the two of you… so talk to me and let me help you.”
“I need to get far, far away from Junsu, hyung… I have to… He’ll never forgive me… Never…”
Jaejoong just nodded wordlessly as he propped Yoochun up on the bed with a pillow. He had to talk this out with his dongsaeng.
“Why were you so silly to have sold Kim Enterprises to Kim Kang-In? You know Junsu would not have agreed to it. And to ask Yunho to spy for you… that’s taking too big a risk… I heard from Changmin he is quite seriously injured.”
Yoochun brought his knees to his chest and curled up like a scared child. Jaejoong decided he had better be careful with his words.
“It’s understandable if Junsu is mad at you now… but that does not mean he’ll never forgive you… I know you must have done it because you thought it was the only way to keep Kim Kang-In from hurting the Kims. Give Junsu some time. He’ll understand eventually.”
Jaejoong smiled encouragingly. He trusted that Junsu really cared for Yoochun and that one day, he would be able to forgive his dongsaeng. Yoochun was probably just imagining too much.
“No hyung… I will never get to see Junsu again… Never…”
Jaejoong furrowed his brows. He was just about to open his mouth and ask when the front door banged open, causing the two men to jump.
“Hyesung hyung! What’s the rush?”
Jaejoong asked with a frown on his face, angry that Hyesung gave them both a scare.
“Yoochun! Where is Junsu?”
“Calm down, hyung… Yoochun just took his medication… He is not very stable right now… Go slow on him…”
“We have no time!”
“What do you mean by that?”
Hyesung ignored Jaejoong and went straight for Yoochun as fast as his limping could go.
“Where is Junsu, Yoochun? Is he safe?”
“I don’t know, hyung… please don’t ask me anything now…”
Yoochun made a move to burrow into his covers so that he could drown out Hyesung’s questioning.
“His life is in danger, damn it! Would you snap out of it!”
Hyesung said forcibly as he stopped his dongsaeng from hiding into the covers.
Yoochun’s eyes widened and at the same time had a confused look on his face.
“What are you talking about, hyung? I don’t understand…”
“Do you know why Kim Kang-In shot Yunho even though he had gotten his hands on the company?”
“He’s a nutcase, hyung… He is capable of anything…”
Jaejoong commented curtly.
“No… he is not a nutcase… haven’t you ever wondered why he was all out to do the Kims in?”
Jaejoong and Yoochun just stared blankly at their hyung, not knowing what to expect.
“Kim Kang-In is one of Kim Choi Won’s many unclaimed sons!”
“What?!”
Jaejoong could not believe what he was hearing. Yoochun just continued to stare.
“Kim Kang-In is angry at the life he had been leading when he could have been living a life of luxury. He hates Kim Choi Won for not doing his duty as a father, and naturally hates Yunho, Changmin and Junsu because they got to lead a better life than he did. He is bent on getting back at the whole family.”
“That would explain why he shot Yunho… he basically wants the whole Kim family dead.”
“But he hates Junsu the most.”
“Why?”
Hyesung paused to think about how to phrase what he wanted to say next. Yoochun could feel his hands turning cold.
“They have the same mother and father… Unlike Yunho and Changmin, who are Junsu’s half brothers, Kim Kang-In and Kim Junsu are blood brothers. So he is resentful of the fact that Junsu grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, while he was left to grow up alone in an orphanage and had to deal with extreme conditions his whole life.”
“Oh my gosh… this is unbelievable… but how did Kim Kang-In get left behind in the orphanage?”
“I’m not sure. All I found out was Kim Kang-In’s parents are Kim Choi Won and his wife.”
“But hyung, I still don’t understand. Why is Junsu in danger?”
Jaejoong asked with a confused look on his face.
Hyesung eyed his dongsaengs intently. Yoochun immediately had a bad feeling.
“I just got word from Minwoo… that Kim Kang-In has escaped.”
