Rating: PG-13
Pairing: YunJae, not really! JaeMin
Warnings: BoyXBoy
Disclaimer: In a perect world, nobody would own anyone, and everyone would be entitled to their own opinion and the ability to voice those opinions. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world and somehow SM ended up putting their claims on most of these boys... I can only claim the plot.
Summary: Things weren't easy. But then, things were never easy when you were Korea's number one model. But things only get harder when the newest model out there is the one to be threatening your position. It's even harder when said model is your ex-boyfriend, Kim Jaejoong.
A/N: This fic is dedicated to misterricalx, happy birthday bb!
Chapter 1
A/N: I have decided to put in some character backgrounds so that you can understand everyone better. This wasn't in the previous chapter because I didn't deem it necessary at that point in time. If you are still confused about any of the characters just ask and I'll do my best to answer. :)
Yunho and Jaejoong have known each other for five years- they started dating a year after they met and dated for three years.
Yoochun is so disgusted by Jaejoong, that he pretends to have never known him, asking questions he already knows the answers to. He met Jaejoong at the same time that he met Yunho- four and a half years before this fic starts- they were all best friends.
Ryo: He was a model in Japan, but moved to Korea because... well no-one really knows why. He used to date Kame (YaY! RyoKame!) and they never really broke up, he just moved to Korea and hasn't spoken to or about him (or anyone from his past) ever since. He moved to Korea six months before this fic is set.

I think that I will let you people imagine what the rest of them look like. :)
Jaejoong POV
“I won't come back to you.” Yunho said, when he finally released his grip on me, pushing me away with disgust. I look out to the clouded sky, hoping to find support as I speak to the man that once held my whole world in his palm for the first time in a year.
“I don't want you to.” I try, hoping that he doesn't notice the glitch in my voice as I say the words that I will never be able to convince myself are the truth. This guy didn't just break my heart, he dropped it, picked it up, wiped it clean, gave it back to me, then stole it just so that he could throw it off the nearest cliff, for it to be shattered hitting the rocks on its way down, and then the million different pieces spread to all corners of the universe, never to be put back together again. All in just one look on a fateful morning, cloudy just as this one is.
“Then why are you modelling?” He snarls, and it irks me to no end, giving me that hint of courage that was hidden somewhere out of reach, until he found me again.
“Because. It shouldn't have to have anything to do with you.” I snap, hoping that the prickling behind my eyes, will go away and that I won't break down in font of Yunho.
“Oh, but it does Jaejoong.” He glares at me.
“What? Are you feeling threatened? The one person you used to love the most could be then one to bring your inevitable demise?” I hiss.
“What makes you think I loved you the most? Maybe I had another lover too.” He smirks.
“And so the look of hurt in your eyes when you found me?” I smirk.
“I did love you. You weren't just my lover. You were my first friend, and then you stabbed me in the back, as you're doing again.” He whispered, but got louder towards the end.
“And if I knew you were going to treat me like this one day then I would never have talked to you when I met you.”
“Maybe you shouldn't have.”
“Maybe you shouldn't have come to find me today, I think I'm just breaking your heart.” I suggest, pretending to be caring, because really, I was beginning to resent Yunho, and not feel guilty over my drunken mistakes.
“Don't model.”
“But it seems fun. And like an easy way to make money fast, besides one year ago you were continuously pestering me to become a model. I guess I'm finally taking your advice.” I snarl. Well, I guess I'll be becoming a model this year.
“You won't survive in the modelling world. Especially not when the top dogs are all already against you.” He glares.
“Yeah, but you always said that I did better than you expected. I dare say this will be the same, and I'm generally very good at changing people's opinions of me. Look at you, you used to be in love with me and now you loathe me.” I give a smug smirk.
“We'll see. But I doubt you'll be changing my best friends' minds. Oh,they're all top models so you know.”
“I figured as much, but they're not the top model. I believe that's your position, but according to Elle Korea, I could take over your spot without much effort. So... yes, we'll see.” I smile and then walk off, trying to work out where the hell I actually am.
“Your apartment is the other way.”
“I know that. I have to go to the shops.”
“In your pyjamas?”
“Yes, in my pyjamas.”
“Have fun with that.”
“Don't worry, I will.” I say, and then I hear a car door open and look around to see Yunho close the door and start driving away. I wait a few moments and then turn around to start walking towards my apartment.

Yunho POV
I fall to my bed crying, completely ignoring Yoochun's shouts to see if I'm okay. I just can't bear to face the world after having to talk to Jaejoong for the first time since he had slept with that jerk Shim Changmin.
“Yunho! YAH! What the hell is wrong with you?!” Ryo shouts at me. He's the only one out of those living here that didn't know me when I was dating Jaejoong, nor in the months of depression after our not-quite-official break-up, so he really doesn't understand.
“He's still the same...” I sob.
“Who?”
“Jaejoong.” Yoochun answers for me.
“Jaejoong?” Ryo asks, still confused.
“His ex-boyfriend. Jaejoong cheated on him.”
“That fucker.”
“Pretty much. And Yunho, being the smart guy that he is decided to go talk to him for the first time in the year that it's been since he last saw him. I guess they officially broke up.”
“They never broke up?”
“I found him in bed with Changmin and just left. I hadn't spoken to him.”
“And today he told you to fuck off pretty much?”
“He said he didn't care what I thought, and that he's going to become a model because he thinks it'll be fun and easy.”
“Idiot.” Was the reply I got from three different voices.
“Which one of us?”
“Both, you because you probably just said that he'd never survive in the modelling world when you knew that Jaejoong would see that as a challenge and he never backs down from a challenge. Jaejoong because he probably took that as a challenge, and because he thinks that modelling will be easy.” Yoochun said.
“Argh... why do you know us both so well?”
“Because when I met you, I met Jaejoong at the same time, which then led to the two of us being best friends until you two broke up.”
“So pretty much, we not only have to compete with you in this industry but also you're super-hot and stupid ex-boyfriend?” Key asked.
“Yes.” I pout.
“Well, we all need to work super hard then. Except you, Yoochun. You can just not work super hard and go back to playing piano if you don't get enough modelling jobs.”
“Yeah, don't work Yoochun. Give us a chance.” Ryo says.
“Not happening~” Yoochun says in a sing-song voice.
“We're all screwed.” I say.
