Thirty lmaii's creation
4th June
Gently caressed by the sea breeze, the longer strands of his fringe fell in his line of sight, silently reminding him that it was time for a trim soon.
Sweeping the stray hair away, he continued to read the letter in his hand.
To: Kim Junsu
I'm sure Changmin would have told you by now that he has already revealed your real identities to me. It was indeed very shocking for me when I got to know of the truth.
Not that I'm expecting either of you to accept it, but I would like to apologise for what I did to your mother all those years ago. I truly regret that my actions back then have caused so much pain to both of you. I should never have thought that what I did would not affect you because of your young age, in fact that same reason meant that you boys had to suffer more over the years.
It's shameful that I had to be brought back to my senses by my own sons, to see the mistakes that I made. And I sincerely thank you for helping this old man to realise what is right and what is wrong.
Although I also can't expect her forgiveness, I'll personally apologise to your mother when I meet her again in the afterlife.
Hope that I'll be able to do enough to one day have the right to call myself your father again.
Please take care of yourself and live a happy life.
From: Jang
Satisfied with the results of their course of actions over the past few years, Junsu heaved a sigh of relief as he folded the piece of paper and stuffed it into his back pocket.
Taking in a deep breadth, he relished the salty warmth of the gust that just came by, extending his arms backwards to stretch a body tired from a day of work.
Unguarded at the moment, his midriff was vulnerable and the arms that came around just could not resist.
"Hey baby, enjoying the sea breeze?"
Covering his lover's hands with his own, Junsu turned his head to press a chaste kiss on the other man's cheek. "My father sent me a letter. He knows everything now and seems to have accepted it all."
"That sounds good."
"It is."
"Let me make it better then." Letting go of one hand, he pulled a layered square out of his pocket and opened it.
An article from a business magazine. 'Park Yoohwan named among World's Top 3 as Park Corporation International becomes most successful foreign investment company in China.'
His pride was clear from the upward push of his cheeks as was his relief felt from his fingers sliding in between the other's.
Voice barely audible, the younger man tread on the edges of his heart. "Yoochun-ah, do you regret giving this up for the meagre life we're living now? This could have been yours if.."
Letting the page fly off with the wind, he turned the smaller body around and cupped the solemn face, looking straight into the questing eyes. "What meagre life? This is mine now and that's all I need." A loving peck. "If I'm not living my life with you, I 'd really regret it. I'm thankful that we're together now, no regrets, ever."
Pink lips spreading with satisfaction, Junsu returned the kiss and laid his head on the broad shoulder, taking in a deep breadth of the coffee and mint scented air surrounding him.
Flashback
15th January
It was a surprise to see the 2 men entering the room together, and their half restrained intimate gestures were even more surprising.
If the cheerful mood could be taken as literally then yes, Park Yoochun was taking it well up till now. "Whoa, Hyung! That was fast. I've barely been here for 3 days and you've already hooked up with my doctor?"
Struggling between a heartfelt laugh at the playful comment and calling for the youngest to shut up in view of the serious situation they faced, Yunho was wordless for a full minute before releasing himself from the grim-ness planted in his heart. After all, this was the first light hearted moment for the long time friends ever since the string of events started.
Unexpectedly, it was the other man who spoke to start off the discussion. "Yoochun-sshi, we're here to show you the latest report on the tumor."
A sign of worry flashed across before the mischievious smile returned. The mask that disguises his evasion. "Yoochun-sshi? Oh, Jaejoong-s.. Hyung. You could call me dongsaeng, just like Yunh... "
"Your tumor's benign." Nothing more than the necessary information.
Each of them knew deep in their hearts why the positive news did not bring on the burst of joy that it should have but none was willing to openly admit it.
"That's great. Thanks, Doc." Obviously a miserable attempt at expressing his happiness for the matter.
"Yoochun-ah, there's something else that Jaejoong and I are here for." He stepped over to the youngest and stood by the bed, landing a hand on the other's shoulder. "We want to help you and Junsu."
Hearing his lover's name being mentioned caught his full attention. "Help us? How? Have you seen Junsu lately, Hyung? My Appa won't let us meet, and I've no idea how he is now. I'm worried."
Yunho had found out about the assault at the apartment on the other night but there was no way he would reveal it now. No point in adding to the anxiety. "I saw him a few days ago, he's fine. And I haven't told him about your condition yet, didn't want him to worry too much."
"Thanks, Hyung." Gratitude shone through his eyes, but it was soon replaced by curiosity. "You mentioned helping us. What do you want to help us with?"
"We want to help you and Junsu be together." Turning to the man who kept quiet during their chat, he motioned for the explanation to begin with a nod.
Confusion poured out of Yoochun as he looked at the doctor.
"I've not shown the results of the biopsy to your family. And if you want to, I can show them something else."
"You know your Appa, Yoochun. The only way for you to be with Junsu is if you chose Junsu only. Are you willing to give up everything else for him?"
The reality of the situation and the consequences of his choice crashed in, his brain working hard to process his feelings versus the logical side of him. For the first time in his life, he came upon a need to make a life changing decision and the struggle in his heart ate away every ounce of energy in his body.

23rd January
Checking the blood pressure and heart rate again, he ensured that the anesthesia had taken effect before pouring the measured dosage of Nicardipine into the feeding tube.
And they waited for the drug to work.
Jaejoong remained calm throughout the administration of the procedures, his features showing not a single fleece of fret. With his position in the hospital, he had confidence that his authority was sufficient to ensure the confidentiality of what happened in the operating theatre remained unbreached. The only issue on his mind was the success of this 'operation'.
When the indicators showed the values that he had been expecting, the brain surgeon signalled the completion of his work and instructed for the 'deceased' to be pushed out.
Shouldn't be much of a problem with the amount of crying out there.
Once the patient was wheeled in, the staff sprung into action.
Nodes were attached to pulse points to check for vital signs of life.
Unlike the previous session, the level of nervousness rose as they waited for the effect of the anesthesia to wear off.
There was no time to lose. As soon as he regained the slightest bit of consciousness, the tube of Syrup of Ipecac was fed to the man.
All that was needed now was for the antidote work.

26th January
Standing in the mortuary, the men scrutinized the skin on the face closely.
Looking up from his inspection, Yunho smiled with relief. "This is unbelievable! It's almost impossible to tell."
"It's not that hard. You already managed to get someone so similar to Yoochun. Dongwook Hyung only had to make some minor adjustments, piece of cake for the top plastic surgeon in the country. Most importantly, the healing process went well. Not many people can recover within 2 weeks."
Although reluctant to doubt his lover, he knew that he could not risk anything after all that they had done. "Jae, I fully trust you. But.. this Choi Dongwook..."
Understanding the reason for the other's uncertainty, Jaejoong gently slid his hand into the other's bigger one. "He won't say a word of it to anyone. Dongwook Hyung is my friend, a real friend."
Leaning in, the younger man pressed his lips onto the luscious red pair. "Because you said it."

27th January
Finishing the last stitch, the surgeon cut the line and handed the equipment to the nurse.
Satisfaction filled his heart as he watched the man wheeled out after being cleaned up.
In his course of work over the past few years, he had performed dozens of such surgical procedures. And this was the first one which he did with fear in his heart, fear of losing the battle. A feeling that he had never encountered on the job because he was had never been attached to the patient.
Taking off his scrubs, he returned to his office, exhausted from the 6 hour long operation.
The name that flashed on the screen brought some comfort for his frustration over the untimely ringing of his mobile phone.
"It's over."
Pretty sure that he heard a statement instead of a question, Jaejoong answered with a report of his own. "It's over for my side too. Went well. The tumor was removed successfully without any hiccups."
"The parents didn't suspect a thing. I would've been fooled too if I didn't know. Looks exactly the same in the coffin."
"Well, the most difficult part is over. All we've to do now is wait."
"Won't be long. Based on Yoochun's past health, he shouldn't take more than a couple of months."
"Good. Junsu can't be kept waiting for too long. And.. Jae?"
"Yes?"
"Love you."
Those 2 words passing through radiowaves to get to his ear brought on as much of a blush as they would have if spoken in presence. "Love you too."

24th March
Removing the bandage, the doctor let his lips spread, seemingly pleased with his handiwork. "Amazing speed. And the wound has closed beautifully."
"Of course. For someone as handsome as me, even my wounds and scars have to look good."
Perhaps Park Yoochun would never figure out why the transition from smile to glare could be done so fast.
"As far as I'm concerned, I've had enough of your blood on my hands this few years. Hope your affinity with hospitals end here."
The change from glare to smirk was missed out by the younger man as he once again sat gaping like a fish in the aftermath of Kim Jaejoong's words.

2nd April
"Take care of yourself over there. We'll try to visit whenever we can."
Always the more emotional one, the youngest flung his arms around the 2 men and wailed openly. "Thank you, Hyung. You've done so much for me, both of you. I'll miss you!"
Used to such exaggerated displays, Yunho lightly patted the trembling back of the crying man.
It was only when the announcement for boarding of the flight was made that they separated.
Frozen from the hug, Jaejoong broke from his daze to add words to the parting gesture. "Take good care of Junsu too! Write or call when you can."
Turning around one last time before he disappeared into the customs area, Yoochun looked back at the couple and bowed deeply, pouring all his gratitude into the act for all that they had done to help him.
End
He gave the body in his arms a light tug in the direction of their shared home. "Time to go back, baby, wouldn't want you catching a cold here."
A playful wink ensued. Junsu sild out of the embrace and turned back to taunt his lover. "Aww... Weren't you supposed to keep me warm? ..But it's alright, I'll just go home if you're so useless!"
"Why you..."
At the notice of an ultra high pitched squeal, the shorter legs moved faster, trying to outrun the one who was chasing him.
Shadows of the 2 running men were cast onto the stone structure, their bliss in this simple life a mirror image of the lustre rays of the sun that shone down on earth.
Although the months spent recuperating had let Yoochun's body almost fully regain its former adequacy, he still fell behind Junsu's rampant agility.
That was exactly why he found himself stepping up to locked doors.
Trying his luck with the patio doors, he was dismayed to find them locked too.
But the cute face with a mischievious grin that popped into view cheered him up a bit.
Seeing the cake with the lighted candles pushed away the last traces of his pout.
With a click, the door was unlocked and opened, Junsu stepping out as he sang softly. "Happy birthday, Chunnie!"
The birthday boy's lips spread from ear to ear when his lover leaned forward to print a kiss.
"Make a wish and blow out the candles?" This sudden enthusiastic sweetness was getting increasingly suspicious.
However, the little bursts of delight in Yoochun's heart did not allow him to detect any of the oncoming danger, and he obediently followed the instructions.
Just as the little flame went out, his face became a mighty magnet to the pastry.
Wiping the cream away for his eyelids to separate safely, he saw the younger man laughing hard and trying to balance whatever that was left of the prettily decorated mound.
Having learnt his lesson well, a silent impetuous attack was launched this time round.
Tackling the smaller body to the ground without any concern for the creamy lump, he set his claws onto the sides of the slim waist and dug into revenge.
Cake abandoned, Junsu tried to fight off the 5-fingered offenders as he cried mercy.
The push-pull battle lasted till both of them laid flat on the ground, regulation of their heavy breathing of top priority.
A creamy digit came to draw a milky streak across the cute button nose.
"Hey!"
Ignoring the protest, he lifted his upper body to tower over the other. "Better now?"
Seeing the smiling eyes soothed the leftover tingling on his skin. "Much better." Accompanied by a reassuring smile.
Taking hold of the smaller hands, Yoochun pulled his lover into a standing position after hoisting himself up. "Let's go clean up, baby."
Friction increased as the lukewarm water rinsed off the soap, the sensation from the rhythmic strokes heightened.as the feeling became more real.
Lips parted for breathless moans, Junsu allowed the full weight of his body to be supported by the man behind as his legs became wobbly from the titillation induced.
With the creamy pale skin of the slender neck presented to him as his lover tilted back to rest against his shoulder, the older man took his time to savour the offering, alternating between licking the drops of water that ran down the white slide and taking tiny bites of the tender flesh.
By the continuous movements of the hand, the soft body started to get taut with an impending release.
Yoochun decided that he wanted to share the shattering pleasure of a climax.
The moan turned into a whine as the anticipated disappeared.
After hastily towelling their wet bodies, the lovers stumbled into their bedroom, blindly moving forward as they engaged in a fierce battle of the tongues.
Submerged in the throes of passion, Yoochun flung the lighter body onto the bed before pouncing on himself.
Once again, their oral connection was resumed.
Unlike the past, Junsu took the initiative to place his hands where he knew the other liked it most, his bold movements a surprise aphrodisiac.
"I didn't know that you were so good with your hands, baby." Despite the teasing gaze, the man was clearly enjoying the administrations to his body.
Instant crimson overtones arised, bringing a gruding glare in return. "Of course, I can do wonders with a scalpel. Especially skillful with castrations and vasectomies." The hand that tightened its grip failed to cause discomfort but only encouraged a thrusting motion.
"Oh... Yes, baby.. Just as tight as you.." Distracting the one below with light grazes on his lips, Yoochun trapped the hand escaping from around his erection between their bodies. A free hand reached for the bottle of lube placed on the night stand.
Previously concentrating on his lip work, the soft features contorted with a muffled groan as he felt the intrusion. "You sneak.. Ahh.." The curves on his body were accentuated as he arched his back and rolled his hips in acceptance of the fingers moving smoothly along the contracting walls of his narrow canal, aided by the wetness of the cool gel.
In order to ensure that their lovemaking would not bring any pain to his lover, the older man held down his own urges, patiently coaxing the tight passage to loosen. When he was finally comfortable with the flexibility of the muscles inside, he withdrew his hand and positioned his member at the entrance, all the while whispering soothing words and hoping that his biceps would be released from the death grip before holes were dug into the skin. He spoke directly into the other's ear so that he could be heard above the moans. "Do you want me, baby?"
Although Kim Junsu had always been a patient man, there were times when his patience wore thin faster than usual. "Want you.. want you now.. Now!"
Despite the urgency in the words, Yoochun pushed in slowly, taking care not to thrust for fear of hurting his younger lover. And once he was fully seated, he held still to allow his lover to get used to the feeling while enjoying the warmth and heat of being engulfed.
It was the one lying below that started to move first, rolling his hips as much as he could when he was overwhelmed by his primal needs.
Sensing the little jolts of pleasure, he moved in hope of magnifying it, searching for that sensitive spot that laid waiting.
A hitch in Junsu's breath followed by a throaty moan announced the discovery of the desired area.
Keeping to the same angle, he continued moving, occasionally adding an extra twist to enhance the sensation.
"Fast.. faster, Chun.. Ahhh! Want.. you har- rder.." Hands around the younger man's arousal ensured that he felt pleasure in every way that was possible now.
His hand moved faster in its strokes as the thrusting picked up speed and force too, encouraged by the need in the husky voice.
The combination of the amplified feeling front and back did not take long to bring Junsu to his climax, his seeds spilling in between their abdomens as his tightened his legs around the other's waist and gripped the soft cotton quilt they laid on.
Seeing the face below his contort in release together with the tight walls clenching around him, Yoochun could not hold himself back any longer and he ejaculated into the other's body after a few more thrusts.
Still recovering from the mind shattering orgasms, the lovers laid next to each other, fingers interlaced.
Once calmer, the elder man turned to his side and took his lover into his arms. A loving peck. "Love you, baby. Want to always be with you."
"Mmm... Want to be with you too, Chunnie. Love.." Slipping into blissful slumber, the corners of his lips curled upwards as Junsu snuggled deeper into Yoochun's embrace.
====================================
A/N: Finally, the end of my first fic ever.
The next one should be up some time at the end of the week, hopefully. Or does anyone think that I've done a bad job on this first one and should just stop?
Cheers!
