A/N: HELLO!
I'm editing my story~
I actually wrote the whole thing on my phone as an escape from studying so it was pretty badly written.
I got a comment saying that the story was a little bit rush and I was thinking of the same thing.
Yeah it's really rushed >: I think I edited the story to be pretty much the same thing, I hardly added anything new but o.o Hopefully it would be a better read.
Yep so let's go!
____________________________________________________________________________________________
"Let's break up" The girl finally said, interrupting what the man was talking halfway about.
".. Huh? Why!? We're doing fine!" He exclaimed, standing up from the chair in shock.
"I'm going overseas for two years.."The girl said while fiddling with her fingers.
"We.. We can do a long distance relationship! It will be okay! I can call you everyday and you can--" He was panicking. His first relationship was going to come to an end. His three year long relationship is going to end.
"It won't work out, Yunho." The girl muttered, shaking her head, before standing up and walking away, leaving a stunned Yunho behind.
☺☺☺
Yunho was staring at the slow moving numbers shown at the side of the elevator. 15.. 16.. 17.. He tapped his foot impatiently. Having an office with this many levels isn't good at all in terms of getting to his office floor! He muttered to himself about having a personal elevator installed for himself in this particular block that will only service to his floor.
Hello! I'm Kim Jaejoong." The only person who was in the elevator with him suddenly spoke.
Yunho turned his head, landing his eyes on the owner of the voice. While raising one of his eyebrows, he replied. "Yunho. Jung Yunho."
The man who was shorter than him grinned upon hearing his reply. "Oh hello Yunho-shii! Do you work here? I am starting work here today! You can be my first friend here! Is it okay if I call you Yunho? You can just call me Jaejoong!"
The man's non-caring attitude towards his grumpiness threw Yunho off.
"Um.. Yes I work here? And.. Okay?" What a weirdo.
Not showing any care about Yunho's hesitant reply, the brown haired man continued talking.
"I'm part of the human resource management department! I hope I do a good job.. This is my first job! I'm so nervous," he did a little jiggle. "Which department do you work in?"
Yunho cleared his throat, "I am the--"
"Oh wait. Don't tell me! Let me guess.." Jaejoong furrowed his eyebrows and tapped his index finger against his lips, seemingly deep in thought. "Aha! You must be from the finance department!"
The answer caught Yunho by surprise. How did this.. weird (and cute) guy come up with such an random assumption out of nowhere?"
"Eh? The finance department?"
"You have the face of someone from there! And you're holding a folder that says financial report," Jaejoong rubbed his hands in glee. "I'm so good at guessing things! Oh well, it's nice to meet you! Let's meet later for coffee! You can come find me at my department okay? See you later!" Jaejoong waved as he went out of the open elevator door to his department on the 31st floor, leaving Yunho dumbfounded in the elevator alone.
What had just happened..?
A meeting for coffee led to one after another. Eventually it became having lunch together every day during lunch time, dinner when Yunho was free and occasionally breakfast when Jaejoong woke up early enough. Yunho can't deny he enjoys the company of Kim Jaejoong. He just talks about the most random things and it somehow makes Yunho happy hearing him speak. He speaks of the least important things with a tone that makes it sound more important than it was. He just makes everything interesting, especially Yunho's originally dull life.
☺☺☺
It was around the third week they became friends when Jaejoong finally confessed.
"I like you."
Yunho couldn't say it had took him by surprise, he had the feeling that Jaejoong did like him more than friend, but he had not sorted out his own feelings. He blinked at Jaejoong who was looking at him, his piece of sandwich hanging in the air, not making it's way to his mouth.
He sighed, bringing his sandwich back down.
"... Jaejoong.."
"It's okay if you don't have a response now!" Jaejoong became more flustered. "I know it sounds weird but I thought I should just let you know.."
"Uh. Okay.."
They continued eating, only this time in silence.
☺☺☺
It was 3 in the morning when Yunho woke up to his phone vibrating.
From: Junsu

To: Junsu
It's 3:42 am, what's wrong with you!? Anyway, we broke up a long time ago. =="
From: Junsu
WHAAAT!? Why didn't you tell me!? When!? Btw, it's only 7:43 pm here hyung, 8 hours difference remember? :P
To: Junsu
After you left for Jeju that time.. I didn't have the time to meet you and I guess it just slipped my mind. Couldn't you wait for when it's 7 here in Korea before telling me!? D:<
From: Junsu
Hyung.. You break my heart. HOW COULD YOU FORGET TO TELL ME SUCH AN IMPORTANT THING!? I thought it was important and I had to tell you right away! I forgot about the time difference! orz orz. MAYBE IF YOU TOLD ME EARLIER I WON'T TEXT YOU AT 3:42 IN THE MORNING THEN. It's all your own fault!!!!!! D:<
To: Junsu
.. Grow up......... I just forgot alright. Okay bye I'm going back to sleep!!! ):<
Yunho threw his phone down towards the floor before raising one arm to cover his face.
He had pretty much blocked out any memories or thoughts about Minyoung.. And now Junsu's text.. And picture...
He sighed. He tossed and turned in bed, what Jaejoong had said to him was the last thing he thought of before he drifted back to sleep.
He pressed the button for the 31st floor. This is it. He is going to accept Jaejoong.. It will be the start of a new relationship. He went straight to Jaejoong's table like he had done for the past three weeks, excluding the past two days which he avoided Jaejoong in fear of the awkwardness.
He brought him to the back stairwell, took a deep breath and spoke.
"I think. We could try this out."
Jaejoong's eyes lighted up. He was really insecure of what was going to become of him and Yunho, and he wasn't expecting Yunho to give a positive reply. After all, said man had avoided him for the past two days.
"Really? You're giving me a chance?" He grabbed Yunho's hand, face breaking out into a full-blown grin.
"Yeah I guess." Yunho scratched his head with his free hand.
"Thank you!" Jaejoong practically shouted, in glee. "You won't regret this I promise! Thank you thank you!"
☺☺☺
Yunho could see what Jaejoong meant by saying he won't regret this. Jaejoong tried really hard in the relationship. He accommodated to every of his schedule, needs and wants. He always made time for Yunho, no matter how busy he might be. He even woke up early, something that was quite hard considering he was definitely not a morning person, to cook breakfast for him every single day.
After that, he would go over to his house where they will take his car to work together, since he would have to make a detour if he was to come by Jaejoong's house before heading off to the office. He offered to, not that it mattered to him, but Jaejoong insisted.
Though there were the occasional mood swings, everything about Jaejoong was revolved around Yunho. He was really thankful of the chance he gotten from Yunho, and never will he want to make Yunho regret his decision.
He, on the other hand, was on the receiving end. Sure he treated Jaejoong like a lover would, but it was evident who was putting in more effort, who cared more. Even he himself knew that, but he wasn't ready to give more of himself, he was still afraid.
It took a month after they got together before Jaejoong found out that Yunho wasn't from the finance department. He was, instead, his boss. Jaejoong almost fainted, his legs ready to give way when he went to the finance department to look for Jung Yunho and was told that there was no Jung Yunho in that department, and that the only Jung Yunho that works here was the CEO.
Why did Jaejoong take such a long time to find out was beyond Yunho's range of understanding. But then again, most of the things Jaejoong did was beyond his range of understanding. Moreover, Yunho was always ending work before Jaejoong and able to arrive at the chosen place first. Jaejoong never had the chance to know that the Jung Yunho, his boyfriend, who he thought was working in the finance department was actually the CEO.
For a few days, he didn't know how to act around Yunho. What if he offends him? Does Yunho wants to be with him, this lowly worker at his gigantic company? Especially when he could have anybody.. Jaejoong knew that it was too surreal for him to get such a good guy like Yunho.
To: Junsu
It's stupid asking you this but. Jaejoong found out that I'm his boss and he is being really awkward. What should I do? ):
From: Junsu
Just tell him that you like him or something! He probably just needs reassurance that you, the all mighty CEO actually wants to be with him! Such a simple thing and you have to ask me!? Such a dumbass :P
Yunho frowned at his phone screen. Stupid Junsu and his insults. It's only his second relationship! He practically have not much experience.. Anyway, is saying that he likes Jaejoong now too fast? He doesn't even feel that way yet.. Stupid Junsu and his stupid advice.
"Jaejoong.. I think.. I might like you too." He figured he should just try it out anyway, who knows if it might work.
He looked at Jaejoong, who seemed to have tears welled up in his eyes.
".. Jae? Why are you crying.."
He cursed, he knew it wasn't a good idea! Why was he so dumb to trust Junsu.. Stupid Yunho!
"I'm so happy Yun.. That's the first time you said that back to me.."
Yunho heaved a sigh of relief. It's tears of happiness. Guess Junsu was right. But oh well he doesn't have to know that.
"You silly boy. I can say it more to you if you like."
If only he knew all it took a white lie to make things go back to the way it was before.. He would have done it earlier. He hate changes in routines and Jaejoong being all weird (other than his usual weirdness) was definitely a change.
"I like you too Yunho. I like you so so much."
☺☺☺
It took another two months before Yunho finally invited Jaejoong over to his house. Jaejoong only bothered looking around, after getting permission from Yunho and ignored the initial purpose of coming over: to have the dinner they bought on the way here.
"Who is she Yunho?"
Jaejoong held up a photo frame curiously. Yunho had a arm slung over the girl in the photo..
Yunho grabbed the photo frame away before keeping it in the drawer instead of placing it back on the shelf.
"Nobody you should care about."
"But you and her look so happy and-"
"I said she is nobody, Jae. Stop asking and shut up!" Yunho burst out in anger.
"Ah. okay then.."
Jaejoong was taken aback by Yunho's sudden outburst and looked downcast. Yunho took a glance at the Jaejoong that had his head hung low like a kid who got caught doing something wrong. He felt bad. All Jaejoong did was ask who was in the photo.. He who did not know has no crime, no?
He made up his mind. He have to try in this relationship too. He can't leave Jaejoong being the only one trying. He can do this.
"Jaejoong?" He called out hesitantly.
"Hm?"
"I'm sorry for losing my temper.. Um. She was my first love.." Yunho took a deep breath before he continued.
"We broke up cause she didn't want to do a long distance relationship. Um yeah, sorry I scared you. I--"
"It's okay Yun! Thanks for telling me! I know it might be hard for you.. Well, if you didn't break up with her you will never have met me, won't you! Won't you say that is a blessing in disguise?" Jaejoong's smile was back on his face, and looking as radiant as ever.
"Um yeah. Thanks Jae."
"Don't worry Yunho! I promise I will stay with you forever, until the day you decided you don't want me anymore!"
☺☺☺
"Chunnie!! Yunho opened up to me today, I'm so happy~~!"Jaejoong giggled into his phone.
"You're a fool in love my dear Jaejae." Yoochun was happy for his friend, he really was. But based on what Jaejoong had been telling him about Yunho.. He can't say he liked him very much at all.
☺☺☺
