It was already getting darker by the time Yunho, Yoochun, Changmin and Junsu got to the retirement home. Everybody was deadly worried.
“I think he’ll be dead by now.”
“Changmin-ah! Don’t be so blunt!”
But the guy who was worrying the most was Yunho. He blamed himself for Jaejoong’s disappearance and wouldn’t stop searching for him until he would find him and bring him home safely. And to make it even more nostalgic it was raining. Jaejoong was out there somewhere maybe wandering around in the rain without any shelter and getting sick from the cold. Or he found some place he could hide for the heavy rainfall?
Yunho asked one of the nurses if Jaejoong maybe returned to the retirement home, but unfortunately she couldn’t help him out. He sighed when he met the others in the hall. All anticipating for Yunho’s answer. As he shook his head their reactions were far from happy.
“That idiot always wanders of on his own.” Yoochun murmured while thinking of places where Jaejoong could have gone to.
Changmin folded his hands over his chest and shook his head. “He used to do that a lot when he was a kid, he’d run out of every situation he couldn’t handle.”
“Really?”
Yoochun nodded. “Every time something was getting bad or whenever he thought he couldn’t take something he’d simply run off and hide somewhere.”
Yunho bit on his lip. Great, due to him Jaejoong had run away . He’d probably be lost somewhere. “We really need to find him quickly.”
They continued looking for Jaejoong, but it started to get dark and the weather didn’t get any better. Everyone was tired, except for Yunho, who was determined to find him.
“Yunho-shii… I’m very sorry.” Changmin said exhausted. “I can’t... walk anymore.”
“Me n-neither… I can’t feel my legs anymore.” Junsu claimed.
Yunho understood that totally, he felt it, too. But he had to find Jaejoong, he couldn’t leave him like that. “Okay… then go back to the camp, I’ll look a little longer.”
“Are you sure?”
He turned around to Yoochun and smiled. “Let’s say something gave me the power to continue.”
Yoochun had to think a second, then understood what he meant. “Very well then, we’ll be heading back.”
“Take care, Yunho-shii.”
“If you find him dead somewhere, please spare us the awful sight!”
“Changmin!”
“Alright, I’ll stop!”

“Achoo! Aish this rain..” Jaejoong wiped his nose with the apron he was still wearing. It has been a while since he had run away from the retirement home, since he left Yunho after their kiss. He had been wandering about in the forest, but after a while he had just sat down somewhere, his back against a tree.
What did he do wrong to deserve this crap?
Was it because someone wanted to punish him for being mean, ignorant and selfish?
He felt tired, cold and weak. And the worst thing was his rumbling stomach. He laid one hand on his abdomen and groaned. “Why didn’t I eat… Aish, so troublesome.”
If it wasn’t for his already hurt pride he would have been crying now.
He was doubting, if his friends even knew he was lost somewhere, that they would even notice he hadn't come back.
His body was shivering from the cold, his clothes were soaked and his hair was sticking to his forehead, little droplets dropping from his locks. Even though the rain was cold he felt extremely hot.
Slowly his vision started to blur, his drowsiness started to take him over. “Yun-Yunho...”
He passed out.
---
“Jaejoong! Jaejoong, where are you?”
He had been calling out his name for almost an hour, but without respond. Not long after the first blaze of thunder could be seen Yunho got even more worried about Jaejoong. He had to be somewhere.
The last place Yunho thought he could be was the forest. He had been following the path, but suddenly Jaejoong wasn’t really an outside person. He might have gotten lost. He pushed away the branches that were blocking his way, almost tripped over a fallen tree. “Jaejoong?!”
He felt cold and tired, but still he couldn’t stop looking for the guy. It was his stupid fault Jaejoong had run away from him, it was his fault he'd gotten lost.
Maybe something terrible happened…
If that was the case Yunho would never forgive himself.
His breath was hitching, his feet were almost at their limit. “Jaejoong!”
It was the first time Yunho ever ran after someone so desperately. And he knew why, because he was desperately in love with Jaejoong. Whenever you love someone you want to protect that person, whatever happens, you want that person to be safe. That’s why Yunho’s feet were still running, that why his voice was still at his loudest, hoping Jaejoong would be somewhere to hear it.
The thunder struck again, even harder than before. The light lit up the whole forest for a second and Yunho could see he was nearing an open space in the forest. Quickly he ran towards it and…
Saw Jaejoong lying against a tree, totally soaked, clothes dirty and probably passed out. Sighing out of relief Yunho walked to him and cupped his face. “Jaejoong…” He said quietly. “Jaejoong, do you hear me?”
He didn’t respond, panicked he checked his heartbeat, his breathing and his temperature. Slow and careful he lifted him up like a groom lifted a bride.
“Well, enough adventure for today.” Yunho whispered when he pecked Jaejoong’s wet cheek. He had to get the guy to a warmer place, as soon as possible.
Luckily he could borrow a car from the retirement home to drive back to the camp. Yunho managed to get Jaejoong lying on the backseat of the car, a blanket covering him so he wouldn’t be cold anymore. Yunho got on the driver's seat and started the engine.
While driving Yunho would peek in the rear view mirror if Jaejoong was still there. His soaked hair covered a big part of his eyes, but they were still closed. He sighed, he felt a big worry dropping from his shoulders . But next would be checking if nothing was wrong with him. He could have a cold, or a fever… Or even worse.
It took them 10 minutes to arrive at the camp, as soon as Yunho got to his hut he carried Jaejoong inside and laid him down on his bed. He had to get rid of those clothes first. Carefully he started to get the apron from his hips, then continued with the buttons of his shirt. He couldn’t help it to feel a little nervous of what he was about to do, but he just had to.
When Jaejoong’s chest was exposed he blushed, he followed the lines of his abs with his finger. He actually shouldn’t take advantage of this... But right now, he had just to touch him.
Jaejoong squirmed a little, but remained asleep almost causing Yunho a heart attack. He heaved a big breath before taking the pants and briefs from the other’s hips and dressed him up in a pair of his boxers and a shirt with the camp logo on it. Satisfied he covered him with fluffy blankets and started to dry his hair with a towel. “You’re going to be alright, Jaejoong.” He said while he was rubbing the towel through Jaejoong’s locks. He looked a little feverish, but not the less peaceful.
All this time Yunho was taking care of Jaejoong. He had measured Jaejoong’s temperature, he did have a fever from the cold, but he was sure he’d recover after a good night rest. The last thing he did before he’d go to sleep, too, was giving the sleeping beauty a kiss on his warm forehead. “Good night.”
Jaejoong was looking so beautiful as he was sleeping. It got only harder for Yunho to resist. He wasn't the kind of guy who would take advantage of the situation...
Right?
He softly stroke the locks out of his eyes and stared at him more. His fingers cupped the guy's cheeks and leaned closer, slightly hesitating.
Should he kiss him now? Or should he just leave?
He pecked the corner of Jaejoong's mouth, telling himself not to go any further than that. He should know better, taking advantage of someone who's sleeping is just wrong. Even though the person is beautiful.
With one last look at Jaejoong he sighed and got up from the bed. Determined he would just sleep and nurse him again tomorrow, he'd even cancel his volunteer work for the day if necessary. All he wanted to do was taking care of Jaejoong.
“Y...Yun..” When he heard Jaejoong's voice he turned around again. The guy was moving, his eyes were blinking and when he met Yunho's eyes he blushed. “Hey.. How are you feeling?” Yunho asked worried.
Jaejoong was hiding half of his face underneath the blankets. “I... I feel a little dizzy..”
How could Yunho not find this cute? “Well, I think you might have gotten yourself a fever because you were soaked. I already got your wet clothes so they should be clean by tomorrow.”
When Yunho said that Jaejoong tilted the blankets and saw he was wearing different clothes. He felt so embarrassed he covered his whole body with the warm blankets. T-That Yunho.... He saw me naked... “Do you want anything? Something to drink, eat, you name it.”
“N-No... I'm not hungry.” But Jaejoong got betrayed by his stomach, it rumbled so loudly that Yunho got the feverish Jaejoong some soup.
“Here, this should do.”
“T-Thanks...” They were both silent while Jaejoong was eating the soup. He felt like a little kid. He should be more of a man, he should take better care of himself. But then, the attention Yunho gave him, it somehow made his heart beat one tad faster than normal. Yunho even wiped the corner of his mouth, soft and caring.
“Do you feel a little better now?” Yunho asked him when Jaejoong was done eating. The latter nodded and covered himself up again. There was something going on in his head. He didn't exactly know what, but Yunho certainly had something to do with it.
The way he was looking at him all the time when he was eating made him even more nervous than he already was when he imagined Yunho changing his clothes. The picture he got with that thought... Yunho with a pervy grin on his face taking snapshots of his bare body was horrifying and gave him goose bumps.
Yunho came back with a wet towel and placed it on Jaejoong's warm forehead. “If there's anything you need, just wake me up whenever you need, okay?”
Why was he suddenly so... kind? “O-Okay...”
“Good.” Yunho smiled and brushed Jaejoong's cheek slightly, surprised he didn't get yelled at by the other. “Well then, good night.”
All kinds of thoughts were running around in Jaejoong's head. They were driving him crazy but all of them made clear that... He wanted Yunho to stay by his side. Before Yunho could get away he quickly grabbed the man's wrist. At the same moment he made sure his face was covered so he wouldn't see how embarrassed he actually felt.
“Jaejoong?”
“Stay...” He murmured.
Yunho's surprised face changed to a smile. “You want me to stay?”
“Y-Yeah... hold my hand...”
When their finger intertwined both felt a strange kind of connection that sent shivers down their spines. Yunho had to think of a cliché death scene in a movie, where the characters hold hands until the death falls upon them. But he thought it was better not to mention that right now. That would just ruin the rare moment he could have with Jaejoong.
“Do you want me to stay awake?”
“Can you... stay here until I've fallen asleep? Then, if you want, you can go to sleep.”
“...Sure.” Yunho softly squeezed Jaejoong's hand to let him know he was there.
Jaejoong had never felt something like this, back home in Seoul he never had this feeling. How could that be? What was so awesome about Yunho? He was just a commoner...
Or maybe that was exactly why he got attracted to him.
He was something different, something new. Different for the usual rich people he'd normally hang out with.
Minutes passed without any exchanged word. Yunho thought he had fallen asleep, but in fact Jaejoong was just in a heavy mind struggle. He came to the same conclusion when he was at the forest a while ago. Kim Jaejoong was in love with a commoner.
“Jaejoong... Are you asleep?” Even his low voice was magical, so deep but yet soft. Maybe it wasn't that bad... to fall in love with a guy like Yunho. He could try...
Yunho slowly removed the blankets from Jaejoong's face, the latter was a little shocked when their eyes suddenly met. “E-Eh... W-What's wrong?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to know if you were already asleep.” Yunho said smiling. “You can just go to sleep if you want.”
“Yun-Yunho...”
“Hmm?”
Cautiously Jaejoong got his arms from underneath the blankets, wrapped them around Yunho's neck and pushed his lips onto his.
Yunho's eyes were wide open when he felt Jaejoong's warm lips. Kim Jaejoong, the one he thought he would never, ever understand, had pulled him into a liplock. It could be the fever that made him like this... Or he was doing this for real. He could as well just move along.
Yunho intruded Jaejoong's mouth with his tongue, their saliva mixed up as their tongues fought for dominance. Jaejoong's hands tangled up with Yunho's hair, pushing his head closer. He wanted more.
Their breathing became irregular, quickly their lips parted and took a few seconds to breathe before Yunho started nibbling on Jaejoong's bottom lip. “Jaejoong.. Are you okay?” But instead of answering with a 'yes' he kissed him again.
He suddenly realized he needed this, it made him forget everything, his normal life, the work he had done here and his fever. It was all gone for now. But Yunho was there. He felt Yunho's lips brushing from his lips to his neck. He stretched his neck so he could fully enjoy the kisses the other left there. “If we continue like this, Jaejoong.” Yunho said huskily. “I'm afraid I won't be able to stop.”
“It's okay...” Jaejoong replied under his breath. “Because I think...”
I like you... Maybe...
