A/N: this is my 2nd fic ^^. How about my 1st fic ??? Don't ask me about it, I'm still trying to write it (I try, you see ??) ^^
"Hello ?"
"Uncle, it's me, Jae Joong" - Jae Joong called his uncle from countryside in hospital, after he paid money for his mother's surgery. Doctor Lee was really happy when his mother's surgery could be worked to save her, he knew Jae Joong and his mother about 3 years ago, when he started to know that his mother had a cancer. Doctor Lee helped his mother a lot, and he was really thankful to him.
"Oh, Jae Joong ah ? It's long time I've not heard about you and your mother." - his uncle sounded happy when he knew that his nephew call him - "How are you and your mother ? Is she still ill ? Is everything okay ?" the last time he met his uncle was the day of his father's funeral, he went from countryside to Seoul and when he came, he cried a lot because Jae Joong's father was his best friend and his uncle combined his younger sister, Jae Joong's mother, with his friend. Thus, he mourned for his father very much.
"Well,... I'm okay but my mother, her surgery's going to be worked tomorrow afternoon, unfortunately I have to do something important, so I can't be and take care of her. Thus, can you come and take care of her for me during the time I'm not there, can't you ?"
"Oh my god... she'll have a surgery ? I don't know anything..." - his uncle sounded shocked and surprised - "Okay, I'll go to Seoul quickly..." - his uncle was to place the phone but Jae Joong'd called him back to say something.
"Wait, wait, uncle... I still have something I wanna resort to you...well, after my mother'll be okay... could you pick her up to the countryside with you ? I don't want she lives alone in the city when I'm not with her, I'll worry about her a lot... " - he decided after his job'd be done with Yun Ho, he would come back to the countryside or another city to live. I didn't want to come back to Seoul, he want to forget the bad time in there, from the day his father died to the time he was going to... well, he didn't want to remember anything.
"Let her come back to countryside ? Okay, I've thought it's better for her than stay in city. But... how long will you come back huh Jae Joong ?" - his uncle felt worried for his nephew
"I... I think about one year..." - he had to count the days while he would be... pregnant... - "but don't worrry about me and tell my mother that I'll be okay. I'm sure about that. After finishing my work, I'll come with her. I promise"
"... alright, I believe in you. I'll care for her and tell her you're still okay. But you should be careful, understand ? I don't want to attend to any funeral anymore, especially your mother, okay ?"
"I know. Thank you so much, uncle. I'll try to come back to you and her quickly as possible as I can" - he thanked to his uncle, then he handed off and sighed. He knew the thing he was going to do was really wrong and insane, but he couldn't help but do because of his mother. 'Just endure for one year, Jae Joong. Hwaiting !' - he consoled himself.
He came back to his inn and packed things he needed, then he returned the inn for the owner. He'd brought neccessary things for his mother before so he didn't need to come back to the hospital. Then, he sighed again and took a card from his pocket. Yun Ho's card.
He was not sure if he should call him, but that guy'd said he would help him if he needed, at least during the time he did help for him. It was just 9:30 pm and he thought that guy still awaked, so he went to a booth and called him.
..........Meanwhile.............
"What ???????.... a... a guy ?????" - a female's voice sounded shocked that made two men in front of her were nervous - "Yoo Chun... are... are you kidding ?? Yun Ho, tell me that's just a joke"
After having dinner, Yoo Chun suggested they should come to Soo Hye's house and tell her about their way as soon as they could. Thus, Yoo Chun and Yun Ho were sitting in front of her in the living room then.
"Well, Soo Hye ah... because Yun Ho doesn't have any way to do, so we have to do this way" - Yoo Chun explained, he hoped his friend would understand why her lover had to use that way - "I just made a medicine that can make a guy be pregnant. Well, Yun Ho doesn't have to do anything, he just gives his sperme into that guy by technology as usual as woman. That's all. Nothing bothers him and you have nothing to worry, understand ?"
"But, but.... how can... No... we can't use this way... using a guy to be pregnant is really crazy and insane. It's too shameful and weird... What if somebody knows about that... I can't believe it..." - Soo Hye refused and was to walk forwards her room.
"Soo Hye ah... listen to..." - Yoo Chun called to stop her. He thought she was really stubborn that made him crazy and couldn't stand her.
"Soo Hye ! Have you ever thought I use this way for whom huh ?" - Yun Ho said almost shouted to her, made her stop and turn back.
"What ?" - she asked.
"Have you ever sat calmly and thought carefully why I have to use this way for whom ? Although I must be insane and lose my mind, I still have to use it, because of whom, do you know ?" - he was crazy and angry when Soo Hye didn't think why he did like that.
"I..." - she stammered - "I... Yun Ho ah... I..."
"I do it because I want to be with You, Soo Hye ah. I force myself to be insane because of saving our love and I let myself lose my mind to do it because I never think I can live without you, Soo Hye ah. I want us to be together, not apart. Do you understand huh Soo Hye ?" - he often hoped his lover would understand him everything he tried to do because of her, at least this time - "Why do you always act like that huh ? Refusing and stubbornness are your way, huh ?"
"Yun Ho,... I..." - she knew she was wrong but she couldn't control her selfish feeling.... when the others could do what she couldn't... it made her feel unfair and hurt... - "Yun Ho ah,.. I'm... "
"RING RING........" - suddenly a voice came from Yun Ho's pocket that interupted her words.
"Hello ?" - Yun Ho turned another way to hear the call, because he thought he would be crazy if he still saw her face as apologizing to him like that. He didn't want her to say sorry to him then - "It's Yun Ho. Who's calling ?" - his voice sounded madly.
"Hel... hello..." - a voice from the phone sounded indistinctly and smally - "I'm... I'm Jae Joong..."
"Jae Joong ?" - Yun Ho said quietly and surprisedly because he didn't think Jae Joong would call him early like that - "I'm... I'm sorry if I sounded rude to you... Are there any problems to you ?"
"I... " - Jae Joong felt shy when he talked to that guy and he didn't know why. Maybe because he had to make... well... soemthing like that with him - "I finish my things and now... I'm still outside and no place to stay... but you've said you will..."
"You're still outside at this time ?" - Yun Ho felt worried and a little mad when he heard Jae Joong was outside nearly midnight. It was colder outside at night - "Okay ! tell me where you are and I'll pick you up"
"I... " - Jae Joong didn't want to mind him, he just wanted to ask if that guy could let him stay in his hotel as he'd said before. he just needed a place to stay - "No... you don't have to pick me up... I just..."
"Tell me where you are right now" - he sounded madly when Jae Joong seemed not want to let him know his place, and he didn't realize his mad voice made Soo Hye and yoo Chun noticed - "Okay, I'll be there. Don't go any where and wait for me, understand ?" - then he handed off and turned to Soo Hye and Yoo Chun.
"I have to go now" - he said as he looked back to Soo Hye - "Soo Hye ah, I really hope we can overcome this problem together. I want to be with you, truly. Please think carefully again." - he said lightly to his lover - "I'll see you soon" - then, he turned to Yoo Chun - "Yoo Chun ah, I..."
"Okay, I understand. Use my car to go, I can go home by taxi soon" - Yoo Chun said as he gave his key to Yun Ho - "Don't worry about Soo Hye, I'll explain and persuade her for you, okay ?" - he said quietly to his friend.
"Thank you Yoo Chun" - Yun Ho smiled thankfully to his best friend - "See you tomorrow" - before he left, he turned to his lover at last - "Good night, my love" - then, he left.
Yoo Chun sighed after seeing his friend left and turned back to Soo Hye - "So... do you still want to be with him, huh Soo Hye ?" - he asked her - "Yun Ho do it just because of you, he just love and think of you, Soo Hye ah"
"Yoo Chun ah, I... I know..." - she said quietly while she was thinking if she should accept or not...
------------------------------------
"Assiiii" - Jae Joong sneezed because of the coldness at night - "Oh my god, I think I'm going to be sick" - he moaned tiredly.
Jae Joong was cowering in the booth and waiting for Yun Ho as he said. He felt very cold, tired and hungry because he had to work all day and just ate a few bread in the morning. He wanted to buy something for eating but this moment, the stores were closed so if he wanted to buy food, he had to walked about 20 minutes to another street. But he was too cold and tired after a lot of things happened to him that day, so he couldn't go. Moreover, Yun Ho'd said he had to stay there to wait for him. He'd said he would wait, so he didn't want him to think he was a liar of not kept his words.
"Hummm... Jung Group Hotel... he's the son of a wealthy family, so he has a lot of money to pay for me... " - Jae Joong tooked out Yun Ho's card and read it again - "Jung Yun Ho... well, he's really a handsome gentleman, really nice and manly but a little cold... WHAT ???? What did I just say ? Aissss... I think I'm too tired to have some weird thoughts... crazy" - he cursed himself to make him awake - "Kim Jae Joong, you just have relation with him because of job, remember ? You are absolutely not a gay okay ? You're straight and normal..." - he said to himself until he saw a flash and noise from a car in front of him.
"Jae Joong..." - Yun Ho appeared from the the car and ran quickly to him - "Are you still okay ?" - he held Jae Joong's arms suddenly to pull him up that Jae Joong didn't have time to protect, and touched his hands - "Aisss... your hands're too cold. Why don't you find a warm place to stay huh ? Are you crazy ?" - he shouted to Jae Joong angrily while he was trying to warm his hands by Yun Ho's hands.
"I... I... " - Jae Joong was shy and nervous when he saw Yun Ho acted like that - "I'd said I didn't have anywhere to stay... and... you said I shouldn't go anywhere and wait for you... so... " - he tried to take his own hands away from Yun Ho's hands and it made Yun Ho realized what he just did.
"I'm... I'm sorry..." - Yun Ho stammered because of his weird actions and turned another way to hide his shyness. He didn't know why he was shy but it still made him awkward.
Then, the air between Yun Ho and Jae Joong was very silent because of their shyness and awkwardness to each other. Nobody dared to say anything and just be quiet until...
"Occcc..." - Jae Joong jumped when his stomach made a weird voice out, that made himself really shameful and blush. He was to hide but unfortunately, Yun Ho'd heard clearly from the first time his stomach voiced - "I'm... I'm sorry... it's just... nothing..."
"... Hahahaaa..." - Yun Ho couldn't help but laugh because that was the first time he heard a weird voice like that from a human's stomach. It was strange and... well, funny to hear.
Jae Joong blushed too much when he saw Yun Ho laughing like that. At that time, he just wanted to find a drain to huddle for hiding his shame. 'Too shameful !' - he said to himself while hiding his face by hands.
Yun Ho realized he just laughed excessively and impolitely when he saw Jae Joong hided his red face by hands, so he stopped and tried to reorganize himself. 'Aisss... what am I doing ? I think he's too shy when I laugh to him like that. Stupid, Yun Ho ! ... well,... but he's more beautiful when he blushes like that. Cute !' - Yun Ho thought without realizing what he just thought.
"I'm... I'm sorry because of my rude action... well, I'm just surprised to hear that voice, it's my first time to hear a voice like this..." - Yun Ho tried to say calmly when he was still watching Jae Joong's red face with his hands - "I... I think you're very hungry, aren't you ? If you don't mind, I'd like to treat you a meal for my apology, okay ?"
"I... " - Jae Joong was not sure if he should let Yun Ho treat him, but actually he couldn't think any reason to refuse him, and he saw that guy was very honest, especially his stupid stomach was very annoying - "Okay... if you don't mind... "
"I won't mind " - Yun Ho smiled kindly that made Jae Joong felt more relaxed and not shy to him - "Now, let me carry it for you" - he wanted to help Jae Joong when he saw his suitcase beside Jae Jong's legs.
"No, thanks. I'm a guy so I'm strong enough to carry my own thing, and it's not too heavy as you see" - Jae Joong felt a little mad when he heard Yun Ho's offer. Although he would be pregnant for that guy, he was still a man, not a woman. He carried his suitcase passing Yun Ho and stood in front of his door of car for waiting him.
Yun Ho sighed and came to open the back door for Jae Joong put his suitcase into the car. He thought Jae Joong just misunderstood his words. He didn't intend to treat him as a woman. He just cared if Jae Joong was too tired to carry his suitcase because of his pale face. 'It seems that this guy's a little stubborn and still childish' - he thought as he closed the back door and came inside for starting the car.
"So, everything you've already cleard up, right ?" - Yun Ho asked when Jae Joong sat next to him - "Now, we can so the things we've sugested together, right ?" - he asked to know if Jae Joong wanted to change his mind again.
"uhm... yeah..." - when he heard "the things" from Yun Ho, Jae Joong was shy again and felt more nervous - "So... where are we going to have a meal ?" -he asked to try releasing the air when it was to be silent again.
"We're going to Insa Hotel, my hotel as I've said for you having a room and leave your suitcase there. After that, we'll go downstairs to eat at hotel's restaurant. Is it alright ?" - Yun Ho said calmly while still looking straight to drive.
"Okay... do as you want..." - Jae Joong aswered and then, the air began to be silent again in car during the way to the hotel. Jae Joong didn't know what he should say to Yun Ho when he seemed cold again, that made him scared and didn't dare to ask anything to disturb that guy. About Yun Ho, he didn't know what he could say to him, either. Moreover, he was thinking what he would do next and worry if Soo Hye accepted his way or not. He would call Yoo Chun next day to know.
.............................................
"Here your room" - Yun Ho said as he opened a room in his hotel for Jae Joong coming. Jae Joong looked at the room.That was a nice and convenient room, and it was bigger than the room he and his mother'd rented before. There were a bathroom, a large place for living room and kitchen, and a bedroom. When Jae Joong opened the door of bedroom, he blushed as he saw only a large bed for two people, not single or two different beds.
"This's one of VIP rooms for our important customers in hotel when they visit or ask for staying. Sometimes, I use one of them to sleep if I work late or feel tired to drive home. It's really comfortable and safe. Nobody can come here if they don't have my permission" - Yun Ho said as he turned on the air conditioner - "Is it okay for you during the time we do the plan ?" - he turned to asked Jae Joong, who was still standing in front of the bedroom - "Jae Joong ? Are you okay ? Is something wrong with the bedroom ?" - he came nearly to Jae Joong.
"No... never mind... I... I just think this room's too big for me..." - Jae Joong jumped when he felt Yun Ho came nearly to him, he didn't want that guy know what he was thinking. It was too shy and... weird - "Thank you for help... could you please wait in the living room ? I... want to change my clothes..." - although they both were men, but he didn't like to change clothes in front of another person, especially that guy, who would... well, he didn't want to say about it again. It made him more scared and nervous.
"Oh... okay... I'll wait for you..." - although Jae Joong said nothing, Yun Ho still knew what he was thinking about the bedroom. 'I can see he's really nervous and scared', he thought as sitting on the couch for waiting. 'Maybe he and I should practiced to see it normally'.
-----------------------------
"What do you want to eat ?" - Yun Ho asked after they sat at a table in restaurant and let Jae Joong see the menu - "Don't care about the price, okay ? I'm the boss here and I've told you that I'll treat you this meal, remember ?" - he said as he saw Jae Joong's nervous face after he looked at the menu.
"uh uhm..." - Jae Joong forgot that Yun Ho was the boss there, but actually he was still nervous when he saw the price, the food was too expensive - "Well... I want... a pancake... that's it" - he chose the food with the cheapest price.
"Don't be silly to call a food for breakfast, okay ? It's nearly midnight, now." - he pulled off the menu from Jae Joong's hands and called a waiter near them - "We'd like a special beefsteak with French frieds, a cup of hot milk and a whiskey. After he finish, please bring for him a strawberry cake. Thank you !" - then, he returned the menu to the waiter and let him go.
Jae Joong'd never eaten a lot of food at the same time like that, especially they were very expensive - "You don't have to call for me a lot of food like that... I just eat... "
"You look very tired and pale, as if you worked a lot and just ate a little, so you have to eat, understand ? I don't want to pay a funeral for you before I have my child" - Yun Ho was mad when Jae Joong was still stubborn to refuse everything he helped him. After Soo Hye, he was the second person who made Yun Ho very angry because of his stubborn.
"I'm... I'm sorry..." - Jae Joong felt sorry when he saw Yun Ho's angry face into him. He knew if he'd accepted to do for him, he had to maintain his health for doing...
"And one thing I forgot to tell you, you have to quit all the jobs you have now" - Yun Ho sounded still mad after hearing Jae Joong said sorry. He didn't like to hear any sorry or refusal from Jae Joong, who'd said them a lot to him that day, from the time they met.
"What ??? Quit my jobs ???" - Jae Joong jumped when he heard from Yun Ho - "No way ! I can't ! I need them to have money for... "
"I rent you and you're working for me right now, remember ? So an employer should do whatever his boss, who pays money for him, says, right ?" - once again, Yun Ho had to use his power and money to controlled the stubborn guy in front of him. He really hated that but Jae Joong always made him have to use them for him - "And if I don't forget, I and you have consented that we don't want anybody know about this, right ? I don't think letting you continue your jobs is safe, because you can be caught by your family who may worry and find out you"
"..." - Jae Joong thought again and agreed with Yun Ho. What if his mother wanted to find him after she would be alright or his uncle ? He wouldn't know what he should explain for them if they found him or knew his consent with Yun Ho.
"So, do you agree with me or not ?" - Yun Ho said coldly to Jae Joong, he was tired of waiting his decision that day, after forcing him everytime he tried to refuse him - "What's your answer, Mr.Kim ?"
"I... okay... I'll quit my jobs..." - Jae Joong was interupted by the waiter who came to serve the food Yun Ho'd called, then he thanked to the waiter and started to eat - "You don't eat, do you ?" - he asked when he saw only a whiskey in front of Yun Ho.
"No, I've already eaten at your work, remember ?" - Yun Ho answered while drinking a little of whiskey, then he took his phone from pocket to call someone. Jae Joong didn't want to disturb him, so he continued to eat.
"Hello ? Ki Bum ah ?" - Yun Ho asked when he heard a voice answered from the phone - "Yeah, it's me. You're still at hotel, right ?... good, come to see me at the restaurant. I'm at the hotel now... okay, see you" -then he put his phone back to the pocket and continued to drink his whiskey.
Jae Joong still focused on eating his food, until he heard a voice come out near them - "I'm here, sir. What could I do for you, sir ?" - he raised his head to see who just said.
A young man with his white skin and pink cheeks in his face was standing next to Yun Ho and bowwed to him. He wore a black suit that made him look proper for his young face. His hair was not too short, just upper a little on his shoulder and looked neat. Jae Joong thought he was the person Yun Ho just called.
"This is Ki Bum, who'll care and help you for me during the time we have consent" - Yun Ho introduced two of them - "He's Jae Joong and you need to look after him carefully for me, okay ?"
"Yes, sir." - the guy named Ki Bum answered Yun Ho kindly and then turned to Jae Joong - "My name's Kim Ki Bum, Mr.Jung's secretary-General and will be your guard. Nice to meet you, sir."
"Just call me Jae Joong. Glad to see you" - Jae Joong smiled friendly to Ki Bum then he turned to ask Yun Ho - "Excuse me... I think I don't need a guard to look after me... I can care myself..." - he didn't want mind anybody. It made him uncomfortable and unfree.
"I've said I'm your boss, now. So don't refuse anything what your boss asks to do, understand ?" - Yun Ho spoke loud angrily enough for Jae Joong and Ki Bum hear. He was really mad when Jae Joong was still hostile to his things, although they were said to help him.
"I'm... sorry..." - Jae Joong was really terrorised when he saw Yun Ho's madly sound. He didn't protest him purposely. He just didn't want anybody to care for him.
"It's late so I have to go home now. Lead him to his room after he finish his meal." - he talked to Ki Bum as standing - "Call to his work and quit for him tomorrow, okay ?" - Ki Bum bowwed to him again, then Yun Ho turned back to Jae Joong, who was still scared and shocked about his anger - "I'll see you soon. Good night !" - after that, he left to go straight to the paking lot.
Jae Joong still looked at Yun Ho's back until he disappeared. He felt very sorry to him, but Yun Ho didn't seem to forgive him. He was sad when he made somebody unhappy.
"Jae Joong, please continue your meal. It's nearly midnight, so you hurry to finish andcome back to your room" - Ki Bum said kindly when he still stood next to Jae Joong - "You should sleep for your health"
"I... no... I don't want to eat anymore" - he felt sad so he was tired of eating - "I... I want to come back to my room"
"Are you sure, Jae Joong ? You just eat a few of food and Mr.Jung won't be satisfied if he know"
"I... well, I can ask the waiter to pack these food for me. I'll bring them to my room and eat if I'm hungry, okay ? Don't tell Yun Ho about this, plase ?" - he realized that he was scared to Yun Ho everytime he heard his name then.
"Well... I..." - Ki Bum didn't know if he should do that for Jae Joong. He looked tired and pale as if he didn't eat too much all day, so Ki Bum had to make sure to see him eat all the food.
"Please, Ki Bum. I'll eat them. I promise." - Jae Joong begged him. He was really tired after a lot of things happened that day, so he needed to sleep and relax for his brain. It made him dizzy then. Moreover, he couldn't eat while another person was watching him. I was too uncomfortable.
"... alright. Just one time. I'll call the waiter to pack the food for you" - then he called the waiter and turned back to Jae Joong - "He'll bring the food to your room later. Now, we go to your room, okay ?"
"Okay. Thank you so much" - Jae Joong smiled and stood to go back his room.
"Ki Bum ah..." - Jae Joong called Ki Bum when they stepped into the evalator.
"Yes ? Do you need anything else ?" -Ki Bum aswered kindly as he clicked the button to start the evalator.
"No... I just wonder why you don't ask me who I am and the reason you have to be my guard ?"
"Well, when Mr.Jung asks me to do something, I know he has a right to do, so I don't have to ask him and just do whatever he say" - Ki Bum answered kindly while he was looking the numbers of the evalator.
"But... you're not afraid of your boss ? He looks cold and seems easy to get mad..." - Jae Joong thought Ki Bum respected his boss a lot and he wander what Yun Ho's real character was.
"His coldness is just the outside looking." - Ki Bum interupted him - "He's an upright boss, who respects and treat his employers nice and fair. But he doesn't like to hear sorry or protest too much from the others, especially to whom he cares. He doesn't get mad about small things or be angry to anybody too long, do you understand, Jae Joong ?" - he turned to Jae Joong.
"Huh ?... oh yes... I understood..." - Jae Joong understood what Ki Bum wanted to say to him. He knew he had a lot of mistakes to make Yun Ho mad. He was really wrong with something weird and felt sorry to Yun Ho - "I'll mend myself about it.."
Suddenly, the door of evalator opened as it stopped at 17th floor. Ki Bum stepped out first and waited for Jae Joong to go with him. They walked in the quiet air until Ki Bum opened the door for Jae Joong - "I hope you'll have a nice dream, Jae Joong"
"uhm,... thank you so much. You, too." - Jae Joong stepped inside his room and turned around to close the door, but Ki Bum'd closed it for him.
Then, he was alone in darkness. He didn't want to turn on the light quickly. Instead of that, he sat down flat on the ground while his back leaned on the door. He sighed heavily with himself. At that time, he could be alone and calm himself after everything happened that day. He closed his eyes to relax and hoped that everything would be not bad in the future. 'Just let me have a nice dream tonight, and tomorrow I'll force myself to lose my mind' - he hoped tirely...
That night passed quietly and gently, made people felt comfortable and safe.However, nobody could guess what would happen to their lives next day and future. Nobody...
