Dear diary,
It’s been exactly one year since he got sick, but I think he’s getting better. Over the past few weeks, he’s been smiling a lot more. He also does things for me that he used to do before he got sick. Yesterday, he made breakfast for me. He hasn’t done that since the first time I slept over at his place. I think God is on our side, I’ve been praying every day.
- Jaejoong
“Jae?”
The latter quickly hid his diary under his pillow, cursing at himself for forgetting to write a diary update the day before. “Yes?”
“It’s noon already, get out of bed.”
Jaejoong smiled and nodded, wrapping the covers tighter around his tiny body as he made his way into the living room where his fiancée was waiting for him with a smile. “Sleepyhead.”
“Very funny, Yunho.”
The brunette smiled again, feeling how his energy level decreased with every muscle he moved. “Come here, I have an idea.”
Snuggling close to the older man, Jaejoong rested his head on Yunho’s chest, listening to his beating heart. “What would that be?”
“Well… you know how you complain about how we never do anything you like?”
Jaejoong laughed. “Complain?”
“Yes,” Yunho said, hugging the smaller man. “For the next 7 days, we’ll do exactly what you want. Museums, art exhibitions, the opera-”
“What? But.. you hate the museum.”
“But you love it.”
The raven kissed along Yunho’s jawline. “I appreciate that, baby, but I don’t think you-”
“I’m feeling better, Jae. I really am. I can do this. For you. You’ve done so much for me; let me do this for you, with you.”
Jaejoong took one look at his fiancée's pout, and gave in. “Okay.. but if you start feeling ill, or even just a little bit light-headed, you let me know, okay?”
“Of course.”
December 2nd, 2011
Dear diary,
Today was an amazing day! Yunho and I went to the local art exhibition, and I actually met some of my friends that I haven’t seen since high school. Even Yunho started mingling! I couldn’t believe my eyes. There he was, my handsome prince, talking about art with people he’s never met before. I couldn’t even recognize him. He definitely wasn’t the shy Jung Yunho I’m used to. He’s really trying to share my interests, and I love him for it.
We went out to dinner as well. Yunho… he looked a bit pale, but he assured me he was okay. I think I’m being a bit selfish, dragging him with me, but he keeps saying it’s okay, and that he has his doctor’s permission.
I’m really tired, and I can hear him calling my name. I can’t wait to dive under that blanket and kiss him goodnight.
- Jaejoong
Looking at the sleeping man in his arms, Yunho smiled before he started couching violently.
December 3rd, 2011
Dear diary,
We went to the opera today. I know Yunho hates it, and he did sigh exactly 13 times, but he’s an angel for coming with me. We had a lot of fun today, we even ran into Junsu, Yunho’s brother. He lives a few hours away from Seoul, and I didn’t even know he was in town. It was a nice surprise though. Junsu has been asking a lot about when we’re getting married, but luckily, he didn’t pester us about it today. He did say we already act like a married couple though. What’s a piece of paper anyway? In my mind, Yunho is already my husband, the perfect husband. Besides, we promised not to get married until he’s better.
- Jaejoong
Yunho smiled as Jaejoong blew hot air down his shirt. As much as they loved sitting outside on the balcony, winter was quickly approaching and the air was colder than it used to be so early in December. Or perhaps Yunho was the only one who felt really cold.
“Take my jacket, baby.”
“No, you’ll-”
To silence his protests, Yunho wrapped his jacket around his fiancée, kissing his forehead. “I love you.”
December 4th, 2011
Dear diary,
Guess what? Yunho totally surprised me today! Breakfast in bed, and under the glass of juice, I found 2 tickets to see a musical I’ve been dying to see all year! I can’t believe he remembered. It’s on the 6th, and I’m super excited about it! I guess day number 6 is already planned. Today, we just spent the day in bed. He looked a bit tired and paler than usual… I’m thinking about just cancelling this “let’s do everything Jaejoong wants” thing, but he says he wants to do this, even more than me. He says it’s for the both of us, so I’ll trust him on that.
- Jaejoong
“Yunho? It’s Junsu.”
“Hey, what’s up?”
“Not much, I just wanted to check up on you. How are you feeling? You really shouldn’t be outside at all. You know what the doctor said.”
“I do know what he said, and that’s exactly why I’m doing this.”
December 5th, 2011
Dear diary,
I invited some friends over, and we all went to the movies. I’ve been dying to see a romantic movie, chick flicks as Yunho so gracefully calls them, and I’m not gonna lie, I cried when the girl and the boy confessed to each other right before the movie ended. I’m such a crybaby. Yunho smiled and wiped my tears with the sleeve of his shirt. I swear he’s too good to me. This might just be the best week ever. On top of that, Yunho’s mother dropped by today, telling us she’ll be spending a few days in town. I haven’t seen her in a few months, so that was a nice surprise as well. It must be hard for her, coping without Yunho’s dad.. but she’s a fighter. She always says the only bad thing his father passed on to Yunho was his illness. Yunho’s younger and stronger, which is why I know he’ll be okay. He says he’s feeling better.
I should go. We've got tickets for tomorrow's musical. I’m so excited.
- Jaejoong
Yunho hugged his mother, making sure Jaejoong was asleep before he walked her out. “I love you, mom.”
“I love you, too. More than anything.”
December 6th, 2011
Dear diary,
It’s nearly midnight, and we just got home. I’m tired as hell, but Yunho was kind enough to give me a piggy-back ride from the car to our apartment. He’s getting stronger, day by day.
I can barely keep my eyes open, I’m so tired. Yunho’s already sleeping. Poor baby must be so tired…
- Jaejoong
Yunho woke up the next day with a terrible headache. He blinked several times, waiting for his vision to go back to normal. Jaejoong was already awake, singing in the kitchen. The brunette sat up, rubbing his eyes. He tried to call for his fiancée, but his speech was slurred. It was always like this, every morning.
“You awake, honey?”
“Mhm,” Yunho mumbled, smiling when his fiancée sauntered into the bedroom.
“I made breakfast. We’re spending the entire day at home. We can watch movies and just talk, like we did when we first started going out.”
“That sounds like a great idea.”
After hours of eating ice cream and watching tv, Yunho went back into their bedroom, fishing out Jaejoong’s diary from underneath his pillow.
“Yunho? We’re out of milk, so I’m going to the store. I’ll be back in 20 minutes. Love you.”
“I love you, too.”
Half an hour later, Jaejoong came back, brushing off the snowflakes that were clinging to his black hair.
“Honey, I’m home!”
After putting away the groceries, he skipped towards the master bedroom, giggling when he found his fiancée sound asleep on the bed. He noticed that Yunho was holding his diary, causing him to pout cutely.
“Jung Yunho, have you no decency? That’s my private diary,” he said with a smile, snatching the diary away from the sleeping man, his hand brushing across the brunette’s cold one.
As he opened it, something fell from between the pages. Yunho’s engagement ring.
“What the..”
Jaejoong sat down next to his beloved after picking up the ring, staring at the page the ring had fallen from. It definitely wasn’t his handwriting.
December 7th, 2011
Dear Jaejoong,
I’m sorry for lying to you. I should’ve told you the truth… these past few months have been hard, tough. It’s been tiring, and I could feel that I was losing myself, day by day. I wanted to treasure the time I had left with you. I didn’t want to spend it with you worrying about me every single second of every single day.
I love you with all my heart… but you have to find someone else who’ll do the same. You deserve to love and to be loved back. You’re beautiful, smart, funny and everything in between.
I’m sorry. I will never be able to give you the perfect wedding. I will never be able to give you the perfect honeymoon. I will never be able to give you the perfect life… but I hope I was able to give you the perfect week.
I’m sorry for lying to you, but believe me when I say; you were the only one worth lying to.
I love you.
- Yours forever, Yunho.
Jaejoong’s diary fell to the floor with a loud thud as he grabbed his fiancée by his shoulders, shaking him violently. “Yunho! Oh, god!”
He stepped away from the bed, hands clutching the front of his shirt as to prevent the broken pieces of his heart from falling out.
If God created the world in 7 days, he can also destroy someone’s world in a matter of seconds, minutes, hours.
