Recap: Yunho and Junsu stood in the doorway, one glaring, the other out of breath and gasping for air as he leaned against the doorway. Jaejoong hid behind Changmin as the taller male glared back.
Changmin held his ground, standing tall as Jaejoong hid behind him, clutching the fabric of the back of his shirt. He didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the taller male had been the one who’d hurt the fragile man behind him and the friendship they had formed in a matter of minutes made him feel the need to protect Jaejoong. Yunho stormed forward, trying to get to Jaejoong but with each step he took, the more defensive Changmin got. Finally the two young males were face to face. “Move aside.”
Changmin’s eyes narrowed as his pride as a man took slight control. “No.”
Yunho’s eyes widened a little before turning into slits as his nostrils flared. “I have a right to talk to my boyfriend. I need to tell him things-“
“I don’t give a fuck what you have to say to him, I’m not moving”
Yunho tried to step to the side but was once again met with Changmin. He tried to move in the other direction but had only succeeded in getting further away from is intended target. He was only a moment away from tossing Changmin aside but then he watched as Jaejoong crumpled into him and Changmin turned to face him before holding him in a tight embrace. Yunho felt many pangs of jealousy as he watched the man he loved in the arms of another seeking comfort from the ache he ad caused. He didn’t have the heart to break up the hug; he knew Jaejoong felt safer in those arms than he would in his. He was going to give up so easily because of his own selfish desire to see Jaejoong with as little pain as possible. He stumbled back and sat on a chair, calmly watching their embrace.
Junsu took his time collecting himself. He had been a champion soccer player in highschool and had always been in great shape but it seemed as if owning a bakery had diminished his fitness a little. He watched the exchange of rights of protection as his brother crumpled behind the tall figure. Yunho was forcing himself onto the two of them and Junsu knew that that wouldn’t help anyone. Yunho had folded up as he witness Jaejoong turn into Changmin’s embrace. Junsu snuck over to the two who were connected and tapped on his brother’s shoulder.
Jaejoong lifted his head off of Changmin’s chest and faced his younger brother. Junsu was pleading at him with his almond eyes and pouting lower lip. “Hyung, hear him out.”
Jaejoong’s face drain of it’s color. “Right after you left he called me and told me what happened. It was all just a misunderstanding…please.”
Jaejoong’s expression was iffy. He didn’t know whether to trust his brother’s opinion or let his mind and body work of its own accord. He glanced at Yunho sitting broken in a chair and then at Changmin who’s own eyes were pleading with him not to. He wanted this to be nothing more than a silly mix up and have Yunho still want him and know that their sex hadn’t been out of pure lust. He wanted to feel like he felt last night, loved and wanted. Slowly the two intertwined figures separated and Jaejoong reluctantly listened to his brother’s words and made his way to Yunho. “Junsu says…it was a misunderstanding…”
Yunho looked up with wide eyes and a smile on his face. He leaped up from his seat and wrapped his arms around the smaller body. “Jaejoong…I’m sorry you saw what you saw.”
Jaejoong’s head rested against Yunho’s chest as he listened to the words pouring out of his mouth. It was a misunderstanding He had only gone over to kick her out but she had other plans. She wanted Yunho and expected him to easily remember the feelings they once had and latched onto him in a desperate attempt to get him back. And then Yunho explained that he was sorry he had just stood there and Jaejoong’s head filled once again with doubt and anger. “Why didn’t you push her off?”
“What?”
Jaejoong pushed Yunho off. “Why didn’t you push her off? You say you want me b-but then she appears in front of you and you don’t know what to do any more. Do you love her that much that you could hurt me and go back.”
“…Jae-“
“Don’t Jaejoong me! I don’t know what you want. You claim it’s me, then you don’t push her off…it you want to go back to her I wont keep you.” Tears had filled Jaejoong’s lids before falling down his face. His feelings were harbored at the idea that Yunho wasn’t sure of who he wanted. All Jaejoong had ever asked from him was to be loved but Yunho couldn’t give him that.
Warm, large hands gripped Jaejoong’s shoulders roughly. “Jae! No! I want you!”
Jaejoong shook his head. “No. You don’t…”
Yunho shook him. “I want you. I wouldn’t be here, chasing after you if I didn’t want you. She latched onto me and my brain was taking that moment at sever ties from her. I had to forget everything about her and my mind just chose that moment to do so, when she was at her lowest. When she was pawing at me I realized that she wasn’t what I wanted. I want you.”
Changmin stood to the side with Junsu’s tiny frame next to his. “I’m not buying any of this shit. Fool me once…”
Junsu knew the idiom, but he believed Yunho. He was willing to believe the stranger who had been in his home and had made his brother happy.
Yunho wrapped his arms around Jaejoong bringing him closer, letting their scents mingle. “Please, stay with me…please.”
Jaejoong hugged back, and let his head rest against Yunho’s chest, listening to his heartbeat. His voice came out as a whisper. “Yes.”
They stood there, hugging and remembering the feel of each other’s bodies. It had been to long since last night and their bodies needed to hold each other again.
Changmin and Junsu watched from the side, with pity in their eyes. Both were happy for the re-uniting. Changmin, as reluctant as he was to admit it, was glad they were together, but their fragile nature worried him. He knew they’d have many more problems that would test them. He was a smart man. Junsu smiled sadly. This one escapade had almost broken them both and they had only been together for twenty four hours. Both were worried for the two intertwined in the middle of the small bakery.
They broke apart, feeling content. Jaejoong stepped away and walked over to Changmin, a smile on his face. “Thank You.”
“Ay, no problem, we’re friends now right? If you ever got a problem you can call me.” Changmin stuck his hand out waiting for Jaejoong’s phone so he could put in his number. The two exchanged contact information and Changmin chuckled to himself as Yunho came over and wrapped his arm around Jaejoong’s waist, in a slightly possessive manner. The two taller males exchanged mutual glares of friendship. Changmin turned and left only to be stopped by Junsu at the door.
“Um…excuse me…”
“Changmin.”
“Yes, um, Changmin…are you okay?”
“Yeah.” He smiled his wide smile, showing just how young he was.
“Did you…like my brother?”
Changmin laughed. “I think my boyfriend would be mad if I did. I was just passing by and I found him. I had to help.”
Junsu smiled and let Changmin leave.
Junsu turned back to see his brother and Yunho playing behind the counter, flicking icing at each other. He shook his head at the mess they were making.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Bom walked down the streets of the city, suitcase at hand. She didn’t have a place to go after being kicked out. Her sister’s live in the next town over and she had no bus money to get there. As she traveled down the busy road, squeezing in between people and pulling her heavy bag, a jolt of nausea shot through her body and she stopped to lean against the side of one of the buildings. Her head was spinning and her stomach was doing flips. Where was Yunho when you needed him…oh yeah. He was with someone else and it was all her fault. Suddenly she couldn’t hold it anymore and vomit surged up her throat. She puked on the side of the building before standing tall again and continuing down the road. She feared for the worst.
AN: Hi guys…im sorry it took so long. If you read my previous post you know I got my inspiration for this and another chapter from procrastination during SAT studying, I WAS studying but then my brain was like “oh no! I hate math, here’s the next part of that story you’ve been begging me to think of.” My brain likes to mess with me like that. Well hopefully it was a good enough chapter for you. (no proofread…u_u)
