Chapter 19
“Over here, Yuri ah” Changmin signaled the moment he spotted the other whose look rather lost in the mist of all the staffs around her.
Yuri almost run over to the other before pulling Changmin into a hug, she really needed that hug.
“What's wrong, Riri ah?” Changmin whispered in to Yuri's ear gently, hugging her tighter then before when he heard faint sobs.
Yuri didn't answer but instead continue hiding her face on Changmin's chest, hiding her tears from other's eyes especially Ri In & Yoochun.
At the mist of everything, Ri In & Yoochun didn't fail to notice the two figures hugging at the far corner.
“Seriously! She's everywhere, can't she just disappears for once.” Ri In thought in her mind, unconsciously rolling her eyes back.
“Cut!” Heechul shouted, pulling Ri In out of her thoughts.
“Ri In, why did you roll your eyes? It's not part of the scene.” Heechul questioned rather calmly, noticing that she's rather distracted by something.
“I'm sorry.” Ri In quickly apologized, before taking a deep breath & concentrating on her lover, whoses currently in front of her.
“Cue~ 1 2 3 Action!” Heechul shouted once again, noticing that Ri In's fully focused now.
“Don't try to act like you care because you never did!” Ri In shouted out her line, acting her role as a loveless wedded wife, which was rather the opposite for her in reality.
“Cut!” Heechul shouted for 2nd time today when Yoochun didn't reply to his lover's line.
Yoochun was distracted in his own thoughts, staring at his lover's face in front of him while thinking how distrated she was when she saw the couple intimacy before.
“Park Yoochun!” Heechul shouted when he saw the actor was still frozen in his spot even after he say 'cut'.
Ri In senses a tornado approaching if her lover still continue to be in his dreamland so she quickly pinch Yoochun on his stomach, earning an instant 'ouch' from the superstar.
Yoochun rubbed on his pinched spot before quickly noticing the numbers of eyes on him, finally it hit upon him that he zone out during his part.
“I'm sorry.” Yoochun quickly bowed, apologizing to the fuming director.
“15 minutes break! Aish! What's with the two of you today?” Heechul shouted before mumbling to himself while approaching his trailer.
Changmin witness everything but didn't even bother to 'celebrate' because he's busy comforting his dongsang.
“Thanks, oppa. I really needed that hug, it's been ages since somebody holds me in their arm.” Yuri whispered, finally looking up to face Changmin.
“He did it again, right?” Changmin question, a weak smile on his face while he wipe away Yuri's tears with his hand.
“The conversation shouldn't even exist, I should know that. Nothings gonna change anyway, I'll always be in her shadow even if she's gone.” Yuri replied, returning the weak smile.
“Ri ri ah, don't give up. One day, he might just see you as Kwon Yuri.” Changmin said, pinching the other's nose in attempt to bring up her mood.
“Thanks Oppa, you're the best.” Yuri said teasingly while pinching Changmin's cheek.
“I'm surprised, even after crying your make-up's not ruined.” Changmin teased, earning a slap on his arm & a pout.
“Aww~ my baby's pouting, come let me kiss it away.” Changmin teased once again, playfully approaching Yuri's lips.
“Oppa~ not here..” Yuri whined before pinching Changmin's nose to stop him for getting any closer.
Both of them are rather aware that the other couple's approaching them, therefore the extra fluffiness & sweetness in their actions.
“Ahemm~” Ri In's voice was heard, pulling both their attention towards the voice's direction.
“Ah~ Ri In shii, I hope you don't mind me inviting Yuri over. She's so pumped up to see a real life shooting.” Changmin said, hugging Yuri's waist tighter.
“Yah,right! It's more like she's pumped up to be all over him.” Ri In thought to herself but still keeping the smile on her face.
“Hey Yuri shii, how're you?” Yoochun greeted, rather too friendly but luckily nobody took notice of it except for Ri In who knows rather how friendly they got yesterday.
“I'm good & thanks again for the ride yesterday. I enjoy it so much.” Yuri said, smiling before turning to give Ri In a little smirk.
“Ah~ No..problem.” Yoochun stutter out those words after receiving glares from his lover upon Yuri's words.
“Max shii, I don't mind. Do enjoy yourself here while I'm going to my trailer to rest for a while.” Ri In said, feeling her mood dampen when Yuri mention about the incident that had her crying the whole night.
“Oppa, can I come along? I really want to see how their dressing trailer look like.” Yuri said with her puppy eyes before turn to give an angelic smile to the couple.
“Is it ok, Ri In shii?” Changmin asked, putting on an hopeful face.
“Sure.” Ri In said, she just can't say 'no' to Max & she didn't know why but what she knows is, Yuri wasn't here just to look around.
Yuri quickly wave bye to the two guys left behind before slowly trailing behind the moody actress.
“Don't you think they kinda get along well? They could even end up as best friend.” Changmin commented, once the ladies was out of earshot.
“I guess so.” Yoochun replied, doubts clear on his face.
“It's not good to leave them alone for too long, I don't even want to imagine what Ri In could do especially after yesterday incident. I should find a reason to check up on them soon.” Yoochun thought carefully in his mind, totally unaware that Changmin's observing his every movement.
“I bet he's trying to avoid anymore troubles with Ri In especially after yesterday drama. He'll be finding a reason to check up on the ladies soon.” Changmin thought to himself, observing the superstar.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Spill it! What do you want?” Ri In questioned once she's sure there's only the two of them in the trailer.
“I just wanna look around, is it illegal now?” Yuri questioned, eyes looking around except the actress that's right in front of her.
“Somebody like you wouldn't approach me if there's nothing, now spill it!” Ri In replied, getting impatience at Yuri whose still acting ignorance.
“I guess you are not that useless after all. At least you have a brain, apart from that you don't have anything else.” Yuri commented, smirking at Ri In.
“What're you trying to imply here?” Ri In asked, tone getting higher with each words.
“As you can see dear, guys these days don't go for brain but rather for look & body. If you fail at that, they get tired easily.” Yuri commented, walking around Ri In while giving her dirty looks.
“Just like how Yoochun did, he's bored so he wanted to try something more fun.” Yuri whispered right into Ri In ears, stopping right behind Ri In.
Ri In couldn't take it anymore, she had enough yesterday & now she had this person taunting & insulting her.
“Excuse me but I'm not cheap & pride less like someone here.” Ri In said, turning to face Yuri with a smirk on her face.
“Funny, isn't? It's always the cheap & pride less that guys chase after. Why don't you try to lower your pride a little, who knows Yoochun might be interested in you again?” Yuri said smirking back, knowing that this time round she really hited the spot.
Ri In really had enough, before she even know it her left hand landed on Yuri's cheek but what surprise her even more was Yuri's reaction.
Yuri just smile, touching her left cheek that still stings a lot from the slap.
“Ladies~” Yoochun's voice was heard & Yuri decided to have a little fun.
“What's wrong?” Yoochun asked, still shocked when he saw Yuri crying while touching her cheek the moment the trailer door fly open.
“Ri ri ah!” Changmin exclaimed in shocked, to see his dongseng crying while Ri In look dumbfounded.
Changmin quickly approached Yuri the moment he & Yoochun enter the trailer, while Yoochun is busy staring at Ri In.
“What happened, Ri ri ah?” Changmin question, while rubbing his dongsaeng red left cheek.
“It's nothing, oppa. It's seems like Ri In shii doesn't like me touching her stuff without permission.” Yuri said in between her 'sobs' while 'forcing' a smile on her face.
“What's wrong with you? You didn't have slap her just because she touches your stuffs.” Yoochun shouted, shocking Ri In even more.
“But I didn't s-” Ri In's explanation was cut by her lover.
“Come on, her cheek's all red & you dare to say you didn't slap her.” Yoochun shouted once more causing Ri In to be totally speechless.
Changmin was shocked by Yoochun's reaction but he's too busy worrying over Yuri to bother about Ri In.
“Yuri shii, are you ok?” Yoochun questioned worridly, earning a small nod from Yuri.
“Oppa, can you sent me home? I don't want to stay here anymore.” Yuri asked, earning an instant nod from Changmin.
“Ri In shii, I'm sorry on her behalf if she did anything wrong towards you today. I won't be around too much starting from today since I don't want our presence to burden you.” Changmin said with disapointment clear in his voice before bowing & exiting the trailer with Yuri in his hold.
“If you still upset over yesterday matter, take it on me. Don't act like some mad women & start slapping others over some stupid reason.” Yoochun said, sighing before running after the 'couple' or Yuri to be specific.
Ri In was totally dumbfounded that she dropped to her knees, her lover leave her just because of some other women he just know.
Without them realizing, Heechul witness almost everything & he's determined to find out what's going on but for now, he knows that the shooting needs to be stopped for today.
“Max shii!” Yoochun called out, gaining the other attention who was closing the car door for his dongsaeng.
“Yoochun shii, what're you doing here?” Changmin asked, managing to put on a confused face for the superstar.
“Will Yuri shii be alright?” Yoochun asked, peaking at the windscreen to have a look at Yuri whose currently seated in Changmin's car.
“She will be alright, don't worry. Well then..excuse me, I'll need to send her home.” Changmin replied, earning a nod before he entered the car & drive off.
“How can she slap that beautiful face just because of yesterday? She definitely doesn't know the meaning of unfaithful yet.” Yoochun said, feeling like cursing his stupid lover.
“Yuri ah,are you alright? Do you want me to send you to the doctor?” Changmin asked, woridly while stealing glances now & then at his dongsaeng.
“Don't worry, Oppa. I'm not gonna die just because of a slap. After all I deserve it because I provoke her too much.” Yuri answered, finishing it off with a dry laugh.
Changmin turned upon hearing that dry laugh, it's means that the other's trying to hide her pain. He turned just in time to see fresh tears in her eyes.
'She keep on smiling no matter how many times she's being hurt. Jaejoong hyung, why can't you see it already? Stop hurting her.” Changmin thought in his mind before quickly turn so Yuri won't notice he's observing her.
From that moment on, Changmin just keep quiet to give his dongsaeng some peace she deserve.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ri In wonders how's she gonna make her way home since Max send her over this morning. While looking around for anyone that's kind enough to offer her a ride home, she spotted her lover chatting with some staffs at the staffs's tent. Due to the incident earlier, Ri In don't have the courage to apoarch him so she decided to text Yoochun instead.
After what seems like eternity, Ri In finally saw Yoochun apoarching her lazily.
“What's it?” Yoochun asked, rather too coldly for Ri In's liking.
“What's with that tone?” Ri In question back, keeping cool even though she's offended with her lover's tone.
“If you just gonna start an argument, I'm going.” Yoochun said, before walking away but was stopped by a grip on his left arm.
“Wait, I'm sorry. Can you send me back home?” Ri In quickly apologized upon griping her lover's arm.
“Fine.” Yoochun said lazily before shaking off Ri In's grip & leaving her behind to apoarch his car.
Ri In was left dumbfounded once again but decided to just follow Yoochun because she needs that ride & it's not the right time to think about pride.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Auntie, can you get me some ice & a towel?” Changmin asked politely after greeting Yuri's maid who greeted them at the door.
The said maid quickly nodded before disappearing into the kitchen while Yuri & Changmin headed for the sofa in the living room.
“Let's ice it so your face won't swollen up.” Changmin said upon seated while he just receive a quiet nod from Yuri.
“Is Jaejoong hyung still around?” Changmin questioned upon the maid returned while busy making an iced towel for his dongsaeng.
“Looking for me?” A familiar voice was heard from the stairs case before the maid could answer the question.
The maid quickly excuse herself, knowing that she's not needed to be around anymore.
“What're you doing up there, hyung?” Changmin questioned, focusing on making Yuri feel better.
“Just looking at some old stuffs.” Jaejoong replied, climbing down the stairs.
The fake couple never fail to notice the photo album in Jaejoong's hold as he apoarch them which of course just trigger Yuri's pain more cause he's holding on to his & Boa’s memories photo album.
“Yuri, what happened?” Jaejoong questioned, woridly when he notice the red mark on Yuri's left cheek.
“She got slapped by Ri In.” Changmin replied instead, knowing that his dongsaeng's rather not in the mood to have a conversation with the person in front of them.
“OMG!How dare she do that to my lovely dongsaeng? If Boa's still around, she's definitely fuming right now.” Jaejoong commented before quickly froze when he realize what he just said.
“Oppa, can you send me upstairs? I don't feel too well.” Yuri asked, pleading with her eyes.
Changmin just nodded, knowing the situation too well.
“I'll be back, hyung.” Changmin excuse himself, before holding Yuri & accompany her up the stairs, leaving a frozen fashion designer in the living room by himself.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Why are you ignoring me?” Ri In question, she just can't bear the silent treatment from her lover anymore.
“I'm not, I just don't feel like talking.” Yoochun answered coolly, eyes still focusing on the road.
“Are you still angry at me about the incident earlier?” Ri In questioned timidly, somehow in her she feel guilty for slapping Yuri but she's can't stand that girl.
“Why should I? I did something wrong yesterday too so it's fair & square.” Yoochun answered once more, not bothering to even spare a glance on Ri In.
“You're saying that what I did was wrong?! How can you say that?!” Ri In shouted in disbelieve upon hearing Yoochun's words.
“If you can tell me what part of slapping someone's not wrong than I take my words back.” Yoochun replied, indifferent even thought his lover's already shouting at him.
“Why're you so over protective over her?! Did she pleasure you so much that you forgotten whose your lover?!” Ri In shouted, causing Yoochun to suddenly stop at a side pavement.
“If you just gonna waste my time arguing over this, get down. I don't need you acting like a mad women in my car.” Yoochun said coldly while staring straight into Ri In's eyes causing the top singer to be totally speechless.
“I don't think you will have any problem getting home cause it's only a few blocks away from here. You can always walk home for a change.” Yoochun said once more when he saw the disbelieve expression on Ri In's face.
Ri In finally climb out of the car after regaining her sense, she slam the car door hard before walking straight on the pavement, totally worn out from today's event.
Yoochun just stare at Ri In’s back view which’s slowly disappearing, he have enough of this girl.
Yoochun quickly fishes out his phone from his pocket the moment he remember he left Minho at the shooting location.
“Minho, meet me at Yunho’s office. I got a task for you.” Yoochun said through his phone the moment his PA picked up his call.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jaejoong realize it's been quite sometime since Changmin's up there so he decided to check on them.
Upon approaching Yuri's bedroom door, he heard faint sobs causing him to quickly grabbed on the knob but pause his action when he heard Yuri's words.
“It's alright, Oppa. I'll do anything for you.” Yuri's words flow into his ears followed by a few more sobs.
“Ri ri ah, stop crying. Stop hurting, please. I can't stand seeing those tears on these beautiful face.” Changmin's reply was heard causing Jaejoong's heart to dropped at those words.
“It can't be that...” Jaejoong muttered before he was shocked when the door fly open & he was greeted with the sight of a confused Changmin.
“Oh! Min ah..is everything ok?” Jaejoong asked casually, trying to act that he didn't hear anything.
“She's getting feverish so I'm just gonna get some medicine & water for her. Can you keep a look out for me?” Changmin said, earning an unsure nod from the other.
“Yuri ah, do you need to see a doctor?” Jaejoong questioned after Changmin left, seating himself beside Yuri on the bed.
“No, I just need some sleep & I'll be fine.” Yuri answered weakly, eyes looking everywhere expect the man beside her.
“Yuri ah, I'm sorry for causing you all these pain.” Jaejoong suddenly apologized after an akward silence, alerting Yuri a bit.
“Did he overheard my words from before?” Yuri thought to herself while waiting for the designer to continue his words.
“If I know I would cause you this much pain, I won't dragged you into our complicated plans.” Jaejoong continued, confusing Yuri with his words.
“What do you mean, Oppa?” Yuri asked, totally not sure what's Jaejoong trying to say.
“I mean I know you're in love with Changmin.” Jaejoong said, shocking Yuri with his words.
“WHAT!” Yuri exclaimed, totally unbeileveing at how idiotic can the person she love be.
“Don't worry, I won't tell him.” Jaejoong quickly said, acting like he's calming down the surprise dongsaeng.
“IDIOT, GET OUT!” Yuri shouted, before grabbing a pillow beside her & throwing it a Jaejoong's face.
Jaejoong was surprised but decided to quickly exit out of the room & close the door before he enraged Yuri more.
“Hyung, you're such an idiot.” Changmin said, suddenly popping up in front of him with pills & a glass of water in his hands.
Changmin sigh, give anothe look to the clueless hyung before entering Yuri's room, leaving a confused designer outside.
