"Chunnie?" Junsu asked for the third time and finally got a grunt in response. "Are you coming home tonight?" Junsu bit his bottom lip as he closed his eyes as Yoochun's rushed and preoccupied voiced came through the phone.
"Sorry Su baby Jae hyung and I are probably going to do another all nighter. We were told we needed to finish this song this week and we've hit a couple of dead ends." Junsu was silent and Yoochun sighed. "Su, you're going to have to learn to trust me. I promise we're just working on the song." Yoochun said knowing it was his fault for Junsu's insecure feelings, but he felt as if Junsu wasn't really giving him a chance to prove that he has been faithful.
"It's okay Chunnie, I t ... t ... trust you." Yoochun smiled at Junsu's stammering. It was the first time that Junsu had said those words since Yoochun had cheated on him, and he knew that if Junsu said it, he meant it.
"Look baby, I got to go now. I'll try to be home early. I love you." Yoochun said before hanging. Junsu shut his phone and leaned against the headboard of his bed and sighed. He couldn't help but feel his insecurities ruling over his rational thinking.
He walked into his bathroom and touched his pale face. He groaned at the dark circles around his eyes and touched them gingerly. He hadn't been sleeping lately and the evidence showed on his gaunt face. He had been getting nightmares lately and he wasn't sure exactly what was going on. He figured it had to do with his feelings towards Yoochun.
Junsu couldn't say that he felt Yoochun was cheating on him, but the fact that he wasn't there as much and spending time with JaeJoong he felt on edge.
He didn't want to tell Yoochun that he suddenly felt as if he was back in that horrible time when everything seemed to have turned upside down. He was having nightmares about that horrible night where the girl was murdered. He was sure it was him, but since Yoochun kept insisting it wasn't him he decided to just try to stop thinking about it.
Junsu dragged his tired body to the bed and got under the covers. He brought a pillow to his chest and hugged it tightly wishing that it was Yoochun, and tried not to think of him doing anything other than what he said he was doing, working on a song with Jae hyung.
Junsu shivered as he snuggled in the blanket and fell into a deep sleep, with his nightmares coming right back to him.
Junsu could feel the rage build inside him and his fists clenched to his sides. All he could think of how everyone was hurting because of this girl in front of him. He didn't think of how this girl became all bloody, but at the moment he didn't really care and all he thought of was the need to shut her up. She was talking and of course she knew too much.
"Rae Mi I swear to God that you need to move your ass and call the police. They cannot get away with hurting me like this." Ji Min yelled out in anger as Junsu looked in on the scene with both girls unaware of his presence.
"Unnie, why don't I just take you home and clean your injuries there? They're just frustrated at what you're doing. You know maybe you should stop and just forget them." Rae Mi said trying to convince the elder girl to stop her crazy nonsense. Ji Min just scoffed at her words and looked at her, more like glared at her.
"You were the one that came up with the idea when you saw JaeJoong and Yoochun sleeping together, and now you want to stop? Or maybe you just want everything to yourself -" Junsu stumbled slightly causing the girl to stop talking and turn around and face Junsu. She smirked and Junsu realized how much he wanted to hurt her.
"What do we have here? Well Junsu, what can I do for you?" Junsu just stood there in unbelief that there were people like her. "If you're looking for Yoochun he left after his lover." Ji Min laughed as she looked at Junsu glazed over expression.
"When will you learn that you need to quit?" Junsu bit out through clenched teeth. He didn't know JaeJoong was there until now, and the fact that Yoochun went after him and that this girl knew about it too made him boil over.
"What you didn't know? That your boyfriend is fucking JaeJoong? You know I'll let you know a little secret. Before I got here, they were finishing up in their reserved room in the club-"
"Stop, don't say anymore." Junsu shook his head, of course he knew about it all, but hearing it from someone else was something completely different.
"I bet Yoochun is one hell of a lover. I guess he is since he has both you and JaeJoong in his bed."
"I'm warning you to stop."
"Does he fuck you first then go and finish with JaeJoong? What's it like sharing your man with someone else Junsu-ssi?" She laughed and didn't stop as Junsu grabbed her by the shirt and pushed her up against the wall breathing heavily.
"I told you to stop, I don't want to hear anymore!" Junsu yelled out giving the girl against the wall another excuse to release her evil laughter.
"What is it hard to hear that your boyfriend isn't faithful? I bet they went back to their room to fuck again. This has been happening so long there must be something wrong with you Junsu." Ji Min continued to talk but Junsu couldn't hear anymore. The only thing he heard and stuck in his head was 'there must be something wrong with you Junsu.'
Junsu took in a deep breath and wrapped his hands around the girls throat. He just wanted her to shut up. He didn't want to hear anymore about Yoochun not loving him and with him being with JaeJoong. The girl's breath slowed and she fell to the ground her legs no longer able to support her.
He didn't feel anything as the choking sounds became spaced and her eyes closed. They both fell to the floor and Junsu released his hands from around her neck breathing heavily. 'Oh my God, I killed her.' His eyes widened as he finally realized what he did.
'I killed her ... I killed her ... I killed her ... I killed her ... '
Junsu shot up from his bed sweat beaded on his head his clothes also drenched. He was breathing heavily as he sat there waiting for his eyes to adjust to his dark surroundings. He looked over at the clock on the bedside table where it glowed 2:13 am.
Yoochun still wasn't home, and all he wanted right now was someone to hold and tell him everything was going to be alright. His nightmares wouldn't stop and they seemed to happen a lot more frequently. He went into the bathroom to wash his face and he forced himself to not look in the mirror.
He went back to bed wide awake and couldn't go back to sleep. He never could after he woke up from his nightmare unless Yoochun was there to snuggle with him and calm him enough to sleep. Since Yoochun was getting so busy lately he was hardly at home, and that meant Junsu wasn't getting any sleep.
Also now that Yoochun was spending more time with JaeJoong hyung his nightmares always alternated. It was either the one he had that evening or the one where he came home seeing Yoochun and JaeJoong together.
He didn't know which one he'd prefer to have. The one that confirmed he was a murderer or the one that showed the man he loved was fucking someone else.
Junsu closed his eyes and rubbed his fingers over his temples as he brought the blanket up to his chin trying to forget the awful images that seemed to replay in his mind over and over.
The two dreams seemed to coincide together. If he ever got over the point where he killed that girl his mind would shift to the words that became his breaking point, there must be something wrong with you.
Yoochun was worried when he and JaeJoong got home and the light was on in his and Junsu's shared bedroom. 'Did he have another bad dream?' He thought as he opened the door. Junsu had his eyes closed but was sitting up with his head resting against the headboard.
"Su? Something wrong?" Yoochun said as he stripped his clothes and went over to see that Junsu had tears escaping his eyes. "Su, what's wrong?" Yoochun said again and Junsu slowly opened his eyes to see his lover looking down at him with worried eyes.
Junsu shook his head not wanting to dwell on his insecurities. He never told Yoochun what his nightmares entailed, which he knew frustrated the elder, but he wasn't ready to say anything about what he saw when his eyes were closed out loud. He couldn't admit that he was a murderer and he couldn't admit that maybe what the girl had said right before she died might be true.
"How is your song coming along with Jae hyung?" Junsu asked trying to make his voice sound as supportive and carefree as he could, and Yoochun was silent for several seconds. Junsu could tell his lover was debating in his mind whether to continue worrying about him or to take the hint and move on.
"It's going good. We're almost done with it. We can probably have it done by the end of the week if our schedules aren't too packed with other things." Junsu nodded at the explanation and went back to closing his eyes and lying down on the bed.
"Su, if something is bothering you will you please tell me what it is? I'm always here for you, and I want you to know you can trust me." Junsu decided not to respond verbally and just nodded his head.
Yoochun wouldn't understand what was going on in his mind, so there was no point of discussing it out loud. He'd tried once before and it ended in a fight and Yoochun yelling out that he'd had it with the distrust displayed by the younger that now he just learned keeping his mouth shut just made things easier.
No, easier is not the word. He didn't know what word to use, but it was just better in his mind to just pretend nothing was wrong even though that's what got him in this mess in the first place.
Yoochun sighed heavily as Junsu closed his eyes and snuggled into his blanket making it clear he was done talking. He kept telling himself he needed to give Junsu time to trust him again, but somewhere in the back of his mind he figured that things should have turned around by now. If Junsu didn't trust him now would he ever?
Yoochun turned off the light, and decided it was time to give Junsu an ultimatum, he just hoped that it wouldn't come back to bite him in the ass.
