Rain was falling heavily on a gloomy Tuesday evening. Everywhere was cold and damp. No one would dare to venture outside to face the harsh conditions, let alone to get wet. The whole inn was awfully silent. Everyone was pretty upset about the weather. It was a Tuesday, a day where they could spend hours of clubbing, playing, and doing some other senseless and childish things. But Mother Nature wouldn’t give them a break. It was so unfair, most of them thought. They were stuck in their respective rooms, with nothing to do but to wish that the rain would stop.
Under the rain, a young 24 year old lad was walking around wearing a sorrowful smile on his face. He had a black silky raven locks and alluring amber orbs. His face was beautiful enough to melt the hearts of anyone who would gaze upon him. He was clad in a simple white shirt with cherry blossom pattern on it and a faded maong pants which is tightly fitted on his slim thighs. He just turned twenty four and everyone seems to remember this one important day….but not him.
He just came from the nearby club with his closed friends to celebrate his birthday including Junsu and Yoochun. Changmin was also there but no trace of him.
He waited…. and waited… and waited for an entire day for this important person to at least greet him a ‘Happy Birthday’. But it seems that this person doesn’t even remember what today is-- or maybe he just doesn’t care at all.
“Yunho.” His breath was hoarse as he uttered his name almost inaudible for him to hear. Tears began to flow as his memories of him…of them together play back on his mind vividly. He closed his eyes, picturing Yunho’s image at the back of his mind. He held the image close to him, closed as his memories. He shivers when a cold wind passes his fragile body. As he opened his eyes, the image was gone and tears began to flow once more on his pale rosy white cheeks. He looked up at the vast sky and couldn’t help but mesmerized on the beautiful raindrops falling from it. He loves the rain, no doubt about it. Since the rain washes the sorrows and pain he’s going through right now.
As he walked in the hallway going to his room, one of the occupants in the inn called for his attention, “Ah! Jaejoong!” Jaejoong looks up as he heard his name being called.
“Happy birthday!”, the same occupant greets him with a huge smile painted on his face.
“..Ah, t-thank you” Jaejoong replied, loneliness visible on his soft voice.
“Eh, what’s wrong? Did something bad happen? And you’re soaking wet.”
“Ah, no…no.. nothing’s wrong. I’m completely fine” Jaejoong tries to deny. “I-I just played a little under the rain.” He sweetly smiles, trying his best to hide the overflowing pain growing in his heart.
“I see.”
“Well, I gotta go now. I need to take a shower before I get sick. Ha-ha!”
“Ok then, see you tomorrow. Happy Birthday.”
“Thanks.”
As I reach the front door of my room, I was about to turn the knob of my door, but I noticed that there’s a warm light coming from the open space below the floor and my door.
Fear engulfs my whole being. ‘Who the hell will go to my room at this hour of the day and not to mention with this kind of weather? A burglar?’
I glance from right to left, looking if there’s a kind soul lurking around the corridor to help me. But it seems that my neighbors are all inside their respective rooms taking a nap or probably doing anything else. I turned back again my gaze on my door. This time I gulped. I collected every ounce of my strength to slowly open my door. As I enter my room, I immediately look for a thick hard object that I can use to defend myself. Luckily, I found one just beside my shoe rack. I grabbed it without further ado and walked towards the living room. As I went to the living room, I saw no one, so I continue walking towards the kitchen, but still found none. My body shuddered as I heard footsteps coming from my bedroom. I crept sluggishly towards my bedroom holding this thick hard object close to me. The door towards my bedroom is half open. I saw a silhouette of a man sitting on my grand dirty white piano, and I can say that he was built. I swallowed hard as water drip to the floor from my hair. I opened the door wide and the person looked up. I was about to hit him but I stop at once as I recognize who this man was.

“Y-Yunho.” I stammered.
“Jae!” He called my name, surprise visible on his low baritone voice.
“W-wha….What are you doing here?!” I angrily shouted at him. ‘He wasn’t supposed to be here. After he broke my heart. Why?’ My vision becomes blurry as tears began to form on my brown amber orbs and secretly finds its way down to my cheeks. I saw his hazy image run towards me. And I didn’t know how did it happen but he was holding me tight in his arms. I lose hold of the thing I was grabbing a while ago as I heard a low thud on the floor. My empty hands crept to his chest as I cannot contain my feelings anymore.
I cried hard on his chest. And I bet his shirt was now wet due to my crying.
He held me close to him. So close that I cannot breathe. He touched my hair with utmost care and sniff on it.
“You smelled like rain.” I heard him say.
“…”
“You’re drenched. You need to take a shower before you get sick.”
“It’s your fault, you idiot.”
“I-I’m sorry.” Regret is present when he said those words. “I…You know that SME wouldn’t allow me to see you. I just sneaked out the building so that I can be here with you.”
“…”
“Jae, are you still mad at me?”
“N-no. I’m not mad. It was just… I thought you totally forgot about me.”
“Idiot. That will never happen.”
“T-thank you.” I smelled his perfume. It was so intoxicating. I terribly missed him. It was like tons of years that I haven’t held him like this.
I was in my nirvana when he suddenly pushed me away from his chest. “You need to take a shower now. Hence you’ll get sick.”
I pouted. I wanted to object. I still want to feel his nearness.
As if reading me as an open book, he told me with sincerity in his sweet voice, “We will continue this later.”

After I took my shower, I saw him sitting again in front of my grand piano. He looked at me and smiled. His smile was so sweet that it nearly took my breath away.
“I’d like to hear you play.” I told him. He pulled me along, sitting me on the bench beside him.
He gave me a long, exasperated look before he turned to the keys. And then his fingers flowed swiftly across the ivory, and the room was filled with a composition so complex, so luxuriant, it was impossible to believe only one set of hands played. I felt my chin drop, my mouth open in astonishment. Yunho looked at me casually, the music still surging around us without a break, and winked. “Do you like it?”, Yunho asked.
“You wrote this?” I gasped, understanding.
He nodded.
I closed my eyes, shaking my head.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m feeling extremely happy.”
The music slowed, transforming into something softer, and to my surprise I detected the melody of his music weaving through the profusion of notes.
“You inspired this one.” He said softly.
The music became unbearably sweet. I couldn’t speak.
“I love you Jae. I’m here and I love you. I have always loved you and I will always love you.”
“…..”
Tears began to flow once more as I can feel his loved for me. It’s so real.
He stopped playing when he saw me in tears.
Softly he brushed my cheek, and then held my face in his tan huge hands.
“Be very still,” he whispered. He leans close to me. I can feel his hot breathe. I closed my eyes and I felt his lips brushed mine. His lips are so soft. We stay still like that savoring the sweet taste of our kiss. We pulled away and I open my eyes. He was tenderly staring at me. I can fully comprehend what his eyes would like to convey.
“Happy Birthday Jae. Sorry that I couldn’t bring a gift for you.”
I leaned forward very slowly and placed my cheek on his stone chest.
“This is enough. Being here by my side is enough.” I told him.
“I will do anything just to be with you. I don’t want to be separated from you again. ”
“I know… I know.”
He brushed my hair again and holds me tight. I heard him whisper in my ear those words that I wanted to hear, “I love you Jae.. you are my life now.”
~The End~
Writer’s Note:
I hope you like the story. I hurriedly finished it today because it is Jaejoongs’ birthday. I was sick for two days that I couldn’t sit and type this oneshot in my personal computer. I’m not quite satisfied with the outcome of my muses so please bear with it. ^^~
As always..comments are loved. And yeah, my sister and I went to Greenbelt (shopping mall in our country) yesterday afternoon after we went to Makati Medical Center for my follow-up check-up on my abnormal menstruation. (Some of you know about this incident since I’ve posted it in my journal ~Friends Only Post). When we went there, I saw a huge Poster of Dong Bang Shin Ki at Music One. I hurriedly went to their shop and they are selling cd’s of Dong Bang Shin Ki, Super Junior, Girls Generation and Shinee. They were selling it in a cheap price. Ranging from Php. 300-500.oo. I was supposed to buy them since I have a Php. 10,000.00 with me. But my sister was hurrying me to watch Avatar 3D in Greenbelt. Therefore, I didn’t buy any. And when I visit Power Books, I asked one of their personnel if they have a YunJae manga book entitled “Bambi Book”. But sad to say, they don’t have that kind of book. Where can I buy Bambi Book? I really am interested to have a copy of it. Ampf! And yeah, I and my best friend, and some of my fangirl friends will attend Super Junior’s concert that will be held on April 10 in Araneta Colliseum. My best friend and I already reserved tickets (Php. 6500.00??). Now, I can’t wait to see them, especially Siwon (my biased in Super Junior).
