the most expensive love in the world.
kim jaejoong, there are no words to describe his grace, his beauty. there have been many people to try and take his hand in marriage, but to no avail, all the suitors have been turned down. kim jaejoong doesn’t care though, there is no one in this forsaken world who has enough love to love him. not even he, himself can love himself enough to last a lifetime.
another suitor and jaejoong feels disgusted, he doesn’t want to half to deal with this bullshit anymore. he walks out of the room and brings in his double, a man who looks very much like him, who speaks very much like him, and who is able to pass off as kim jaejoong, the heir to the kim fortune. jaejoong slams the door shut and puts on a black hoodie, he doesn’t want to be seen by the maids. he sneaks out of the gate and a guard notices. jaejoong stops and walks over to him and sticks a bill in his hand. the guard bows and moves out of jaejoong’s way.
jaejoong walks on the sidewalk, it’s drizzling slightly, but he doesn’t care, it’s harder to recognize him that way.
‘i wonder if there’s anyone in the world who is suitable enough to love me for me, and not my power.’
jaejoong ponders and continues walking, the rain has started pounding down, but jaejoong could really care less.
jung yunho, a guy just living life the way people should. he’s driving back from an art auction and it suddenly started raining for no apparent reason. he turns the headlights on and he doesn’t even notice he ran a red light. jaejoong is walking on the crosswalk when a car comes his way, jaejoong screams and yunho slams the brakes. jaejoong cowers in fear as the car barely touches his leg.
‘fuck! are you okay man?!’
yunho runs out of his car and checks on the man. jaejoong removes his hood and yunho stops in place.
(thump, t-h-u-m-p.)
jaejoong looks up and sees a man in front of him, he doesn’t look too shabby, his hair could use a bit of work though, and his wardrobe burns jaejoong’s eyes. jaejoong scratches his head and waves a hand in front of the man, he’s like a statue.
‘dude?’
yunho shakes his head and looks at the man in front of him, he’s just so breathtakingly gorgeous, he wants to pee his pants.
‘here, let me take you to my apartment, and then we can sort all this out.’
(such lies; you make me go crazy.)
jaejoong nods and walks over to the man’s car. yunho grabs his shirt and jaejoong turns around, stunned.
‘my name is yunho by the way.’
he says with a sheepish smile. jaejoong’s heart warms up just the slightest bit, but it soon goes back to being made of ice.
‘jaejoong.’
yunho knows he’s heard that name before, but he can’t quite put his finger on it. he shrugs and opens the passenger car door for jaejoong and walks over to the opposite side to slide into the driver’s seat. jaejoong rests his head on the window pane and the rumbling of his stomach isn’t making the awkwardness better. yunho chuckles a bit and jaejoong’s facial expression hardens.
they get to yunho’s apartment and jaejoong walks in after yunho, it’s quite extravagant, but jaejoong has seen better. he sees artwork all around the apartment, and in the hallway
‘you’re an artist?’
yunho chuckles once more and jaejoong can feel a thump in his heart, but he pays no attention to it, at all.
‘i wish, but no. i’m a buyer.’
jaejoong nods his head in understanding situates himself on the couch. yunho brings out two cups of coffee and sits down on the adjacent couch to jaejoong.
‘so what were you doing walking out in the rain this late at night?’
yunho grabs his mug and sips.
‘just thinking about stuff. trying to sort out my life.’
‘ah, i feel the same way.’
jaejoong smiles sadly, and whispers something, yunho can’t hear it, but he knows it’s depressing.
(you could never feel the same way.)
yunho stands up to walk over to jaejoong when there’s a violent pounding at his door. jaejoong sighs and yunho looks at his face, something’s wrong. jaejoong stands up from the couch, awaiting what will come from behind the door, even though he knows what it is already.
‘i guess this is my ‘goodbye’.’
jaejoong smiles sadly once more and yunho opens the door, five men in black suits walk in with head pieces. two of them grab jaejoong’s arms and yunho is quite confused at this matter at hand unfolding in front of him.
‘um, wh-‘
‘we have been ordered by the kim residence to bring kim jaejoong home.’
one of the guards answers yunho’s unspoken question.
then it registers in yunho’s mind. the kim residence, kim jaejoong, guards in black suits.
‘you’re kim jaejoong….heir to the kim fortune.’
jaejoong looks at him with sadness in his eyes and yunho wants to reach out and pull him back, but he’s already out the door. one of the guards closes yunho’s door and he runs to the window, he can see jaejoong kicking and he presses an ear to the glass pane, he can barely make out screams. he wants to run out and bring jaejoong back and protect him, but he knows not to mess with the kim family, they have connections everywhere, and they could probably kill yunho without a moments notice.
jaejoong turns around in the car seat and he can see yunho peering out through the window, jaejoong wants to go back to him, but he knows he can’t, no matter how much he would like to.
jaejoong’s been placed under house arrest by his father and there are guards all around the outside of his room. he walks over to the window and looks out, it’s such a beautiful day out. he kicks his wall and he hates it so much, he doesn’t want to be the heir to the kim fortune, he doesn’t want to have to live a lifestyle such as this one. his mother raised him as a socialite, but he just wants to be a regular person. jaejoong looks out his window once more and he swears he saw yunho climb the gate.
jaejoong runs to the opposite side of the room and gently opens the adjacent window, climbing out on a rope made of tied-together blankets. he runs out to the courtyard and yunho is running toward him. they both stop four feet away from each other, and yunho starts first.
‘why didn’t you tell me you’re part of the kim family?’
‘because i knew you would have shunned me because of my fortune and power.’
yunho takes slow steps to jaejoong, but jaejoong moves back with each forward step. but with one last step, yunho’s face is barely a centimeter apart from jaejoong’s. yunho wraps his arms around jaejoong’s frame and it feels so right. jaejoong hides his face in yunho’s shoulder and he thinks maybe someday, he could come to love this man.
yunho embraces him tighter, and music starts playing. jaejoong looks over to the fountain, one of his servants has turned on the loudspeaker system, and jaejoong smiles as the servant waves, smiles, and walks away to finish his morning duties.
yunho moves back from jaejoong and bends over, holding one hands up.
‘may i have this dance?’
jaejoong smiles and places his hand atop yunho’s.
yunho drives them back to his apartment, but before he can, he notices some guys in black suits waiting outside, so he slams on the gas pedal and keeps on going. jaejoong smiles and looks out the window to see the lights zooming by him.
‘so where are going?’
‘i’m not sure yet.’
yunho drives for about fifteen hours before they get to the a park, a small park with a fountain in the middle of it all. yunho holds jaejoong’s hand and his heart smiles. they sit down at the fountain and yunho stands up.
‘jaejoong, what am i to you?’
‘a man who adult napped me.’
jaejoong smiles, but yunho is serious.
‘no jaejoong, what am i to you?’
jaejoong thinks for a moment and stands up to face yunho.
‘then can i ask you the same question?’
‘you’re a person i almost ran over and because of that encounter, i fell in love with you.’
jaejoong smiles and picks a daisy from the grass. he holds it in his hand and ties it into a ring.
‘you’re a person who i could soon fall in love with.’
yunho grabs jaejoong’s flower ring and places it on jaejoong’s ring finger. jaejoong smiles and hugs yunho. yunho pulls back and kisses him.
‘this is so sappy, i feel like throwing up.’
jaejoong moves back and sits back down at the fountain. yunho laughs and joins him. the moon is up already and the wind is stirring. jaejoong shivers and yunho places an arm around jaejoong’s shoulder.
‘so what do we do now?’
‘i’m not sure yet, but we’ll think of something.’
yunho smiles at jaejoong and jaejoong rests his had on yunho’s shoulder, falling asleep. morning comes the next day, and they’re still driving.
(my heart is pinned to you, it won’t let go.)
they park in an abandoned parking lot, but jaejoong knows this is where the fun ends. three black cars surround them and the same guys in black suits walk out. two of them restrain jaejoong back, he’s kicking and screaming, tears are strolling down his cheeks.
three of the guards are punching and kicking and cutting yunho up. it hurts everywhere, but as long as they don’t hurt jaejoong, he’ll be alright. one of the guys holds yunho up, and the other two takes turns punching him, yunho couches up blood and jaejoong can’t look anymore.
‘why don’t you fight back yunho?!’
jaejoong’s looking ahead, he’s trying to pull away from the guards, but they’re too strong for him. jaejoong sees yunho smile and he mouths something, jaejoong can’t make it out.
(i don’t want you to get hurt, so i can take the pain.)
the guards finish it up and yunho’s body falls to the ground. jaejoong looks ahead, he can’t take the heartbreak. jaejoong manages to gather up all his strength and break free from the two men. he pulls out a gun on them and tells them to drive away unless they want to die, the guards don’t flinch, jaejoong knows that they have guns also, but he pulls a stunt on them. he lifts the gun to his head and threatens to pull the trigger if they don’t leave. the guards know that if they bring back a body to the kim family, they’ll be dead.
so they get into their black cars and drive away. jaejoong runs over to yunho and rests his head on his lap. yunho barely manages to open his eyes, just the slightest. he coughs up more blood and jaejoong tries not to cry again.
‘hi, how are you?’
yunho says through a strained voice.
‘stupid, should i ask that?’
yunho finds it hard to laugh, and jaejoong pulls out his phone, but yunho lays his hand on his and gently shakes his head.
‘if you bring me to the hospital, they’ll just find you again.’
jaejoong can’t keep back the waterworks, and it all flows out. yunho grabs his hand and jaejoong smiles.
(i love you, more than anyone could every imagine.)
and jaejoong remembers something he said before.
(i might come to love this man even more someday.)
and jaejoong kisses yunho’s forehead.
another suitor and jaejoong feels disgusted, he doesn’t want to half to deal with this bullshit anymore. he walks out of the room and brings in his double, a man who looks very much like him, who speaks very much like him, and who is able to pass off as kim jaejoong, the heir to the kim fortune. jaejoong slams the door shut and puts on a black hoodie, he doesn’t want to be seen by the maids. he sneaks out of the gate and a guard notices. jaejoong stops and walks over to him and sticks a bill in his hand. the guard bows and moves out of jaejoong’s way.
