A/N:  The plot is not mine. The story is not mine. This is based entirely in a soap opera, but I have changed a few things^^.


***

After the tour, Yunho, Jae and his guests were in the living room, waiting for dinner to be served. “This house is just magnificent”. Yoochun commented looking at the decoration of the place. He was sitting in the main couch beside Jaejoong. Yunho was sitting in from of them, his legs crossed and a drink on his hand.

Jaejoong patted Yoochun’s leg. “I love it too, Mrs. Kang was the one that decorated this place. She has exquisite taste. He comlimented his friend who was sitting close to Yunho.

It was almost dinner time and still Dr. Kang was nowhere to be seen. Yunho excused himself going to the front porch, there he waited for Dr. Kang. Jaejoong also disappeared into the kitchen, making sure that everything was perfect for his cousin.

Yoochun was left alon ein the living room with Mrs. Kang. He observed the woman in front of him, thinking about how to get more information form her.  “Mrs. Kang when you saw Jaejoong this morning, you said something about escaping. Is Jaejoong in some kind of problem?”.

However, the woman stayed silent. Yoochun tried again. “If you really love Jaejoong please tell me the truth. Why would he want to leave?”.

“I don’t know anything, please don’t ask me things that only Jaejoong can answer”. She replied with a worried face. Yoochun sighed with exasperation, he needed answers and if the woman in front of him wasn’t going to give him those answers, then he had no other choice but to confront Jaejoong. He knew that Yunho was outside so he went looking for his cousin inside the dining room.

Jaejoong was arranging the food in the middle of the table when he heard someone coming. “Jaejoong, I need to talk to you right now”. Yoochun lowered his voice as he looked around, making sure that no one could hear their conversation. “What is going one here?”. He straightforwardly asked

Jaejoong didn’t answer breathing out very slowly.

“You told me you didn’t sent the fax.

“I didn’t. I was going to, but that fax is not mine!”.

“Then where did that fax come from?.

“Someone impersonated me. I was going to write to you and tell you how I was doing, Hankyung was going to help me. But then, my aunt sent me a message”. Jaejoong remained calm and collected.

“Who is that Hankyung?”. Yoochun couldn’t help but to ask.

“Just the most wonderful person that I have ever met”. Jae smiled.

“What were you going to tell us in that message. You wanted to escape!, why Jaejoong?”. Yoochun was so frustrated.

“Tell me what the fax said?”.

“That you are really happy and that you really love Yunho”.

“Then why are you here?. Why do you care now?.

“I don’t know”. Yoochun ran his fingers through his hear. “Neither my father nor I believe that message. Someone is trying to trick us. I know you have problems, I won’t let anyone abuse you”y.

“What is it to you?, why is my uncle caring about me now. I am my onw person, I can defend myself”. Jaejoong had been hurt by both his uncle and cousin and now that pain was seeping out.

Yoochun wanted to tell Jaejoong that he was the most important person in his life, but then they heard Yunho calling out for Jae, he was close by. Jaejoong tried to leave but Yoochun grabbed him by the arms. “Even if I am just your cousin, I care about you. I won’t let him abuse you. Tell me the truth?!”. His face showed his anger.

“Be quiet Yoochun!. It’s too late!”. Jaejoong struggled against the hold on his arms, the last thing he wanted was get into another fight with Yunho.  Finally, he shook off his cousin’s hold, walking away from him. But Yoochun wasn’t done yet, catching hold of one of his arms and turning him around hardly. “Just tell me one thing, are you really happy here?!”.

Jaejoong had had enough, he jerked his arm away until he could escaped from his clutches. He was simply tired of being manhandled. He knew that Yunho was coming, so he begged Yoochun with his eyes to stay quiet. Yunho entered the living room, surprised to see his friend there with his husband.

“Dr. Kang could not make it so it’s just going to be us, Mrs. Kang and Donghae”. Yunho spoke with a serious tone of voice, just observing, looking at them and their guilty faces, or so he thought.

“Oh….okay. I’ll go to tell Heechul to start serving the food”. Jaejoong clear his throat and then left the room. “What are you doing here, Yoochun?. I thought you were with Mrs. Kang”. Yunho irradiated hostility.

“Ah….yes, I wanted to talk to my cousin.

“So is everything okay in your room?. Are you comfortable?”.

“Yes, Yunho. Don’t worry about it”.

“I just want to repay the kindness that you and your family showed me when I fist arrived at your house”.

There was so much awkwardness in the room.

***

Jaejoong and Mrs. Kang were arranging the silverware, waiting for everyone to come to the table.

“Everything looks delicious, you should have invited Father Lee too. Mrs. Kang commented as everyone started to take their seats on the table.

“Might as well invite Hankyung too”. Yunho sarcastically said.

“And who is that?”. Yoochun was really intrigued by this new friend of Jae’s.

“He is another one of your cousin’s admirers. He is madly in love with Jaejoong”.

Yoochun let out a laugh. “My dear Yunho, you married someone that many desire, and I am including myself too. If you don’t want to suffer from jealousy, you should have married Junsu”. He joked making Jaejoong laughed. “Thanks for defending me cousin”.

Yunho was not amused at all. He made himself comfortable on his chair as he gave Yoochun a not too friendly look. “You are right. Jaejoong is so attractive, that is why he is so dangerous”. Jaejoong stayed quiet.

“Yunho, it is not a secret that I am in love with Jaejoong, I would gladly take him back with me”. He said with a smirk on his face.

Infuriated Yunho was about to lash out at him, but Jaejoong luckily intervened, preventing a fight between them.  “Yoochun, you are going to marry Junsu soon, how can you offer your fiancée to Yunho?”. He made it seem as if everything was a joke.

“Who told you that?”.

“My aunt told me in the fax that I received”.

This time Yunho had something to say. “You are really smart my friend. Marrying Junsu, it’s the best decision that you’ve ever made, that way you will never feel jealousy or mistrust. You will always trust completely in your spouse. I envy you so much”. Yunho’s lips curve into a smile, showing his amusement. Jaejoong was not happy with the comment.

Yoochun ignored the little remark, choosing instead to find out more about the sent-message. “Can I see that fax?”. He asked looking at Jae.

Jaejoong didn’t look back at his cousin, having his murderous eyes set on Yunho.

***

After that small incident, everything seemed to go perfectly well. They were sitting around the table talking and laughing about everything and nothing. Yunho at the head of the table with Jaejoong at his side, Yoochun, Mrs. Kang and Donghae sat at the other side of the table. Maybe it was the wine and the food, but for the first time in so long, Jaejoong forgot all the problems and sadness that were always present in his mind and soul. How he wished that this mirage was indeed his truth. A laughing and kind Yunho by his side and his family and friends there with him. Maybe after everything that had happened, life could mean more than tears and regret.

Sadly that all came crashing down by the hand of the person that he loved the most. “Yoochun, I think your mother is a very reasonable and prudent woman.  She is absolutely right in everything she said”. Yunho had read the letter a few minutes before dinner. “ Jaejoong belongs t-to…………….right here by my side”.  He possessively clasped on of Jae’s hands into his.

“You think so?

“You don’t agree with your mother?”. He kept a smug look on his face.

“It’s not that, but I would like to know why you agree so much with my mother.

Why don’t you show me the message?”. He turned his eyes towards Jaejoong.

“It’s nothing, Yoochun. She is just telling me how happy you are”. Jae didn’t want his cousin to see how cruel his mother could be. Although, Jaejoong could never hate the woman that raised him. He knew why she was doing it. .

The diner continued without further inconveniences. That is, until Mrs. Kang announced that she had to live. Yunho and Donghae accompanied her to her house since it was already late.  Finally Jaejoong and Yoochun were alone and face to face.

Jaejoong exited the dining room without saying anything and in a few seconds he was back with the fax in his hands. He sat down on the seat previously occupied by his husband as he handed out the piece of paper to Yoochun.  “This is the reason why I have decided to stay here. This is my place”. He truthfully told Yoochun.

Reading the letter, Yoohun could not help but to furrow his eyebrows, “It looks like my mother has no idea what’s going on in my life. She thinks that everything is perfect. Yes, it is true. I am going to marry Junsu”. He confessed as he placed the letter on the table.

“You must understand that from now on, I have nothing to do in your house”. His voice was almost breaking.

Yoochun was enraged. “She has no right to ask this of you!. That is also your house!.”

“Please, you have to understand her. She thinks that I will try to change your mind”.

“She has not respect for me. She was to control me”. He waved his fist in the air, showing his anger.

“Yoochun, the strange thing here is that she thinks that I have so much power over you”.

“You do Jaejoong, You do”. Yoochun’s voice was soft and full of love.

“Look Yoochun, even If I decide to leave this place, I would never destroy a marriage, the least of all yours. I don’t know why she thinks that of me”.

“Don’t blame her. She knows how I feel about you.

“Yoochun, please”. It was too late for that. “Now tell me. Do you love Junsu?”.

Yoochun looked away, it was a difficult question to answer. He took a deep breath knowing that he had to tell Jaejoong his reasons. “After you got married, I really don’t care who I marry. Anyway, I will never fall in love again”.

“Yoochun, being married is not a game. You don’t have to marry someone just because you want to please your mother”.

“What do you want me to do?. He sighed. “ You are the only one for me, the only person that could’ve made me happy”.

“I also thought that I was going to be happy”. Jae murmured, the other could barely hear him.

“You are not happy?.

Jaejoong looked back at his cousin, his large eyes consumed with sadness. “No, I am not”.

“I can help you”. He gave him s small smile.

“Thanks but no one can help me”.

“You know you can count with me and my father too. You can count on me for anything. I can be your brother, cousin or just a friend. I can be the shoulder where you can cry on. But also you can count me as you lover or maybe your future husband. You can be immensely happy with me, just the two of us.” Yoochun spoke with passion.

“I…..”. Jaejoong didn’t know what to say. Suddenly, they were interrupted by Chinsu, who started to clean the table. They moved to the patio outside of the house. There was a small living room there, filled with nature and the breeze of the night.

They sat side by side, just looking at each other. “What time do you leave tomorrow?”.

“Very early in the morning”.

“Why don’t you stay another day so you can clear your mind”. Jae wanted to help his cousin, a marriage without love was a hell he didn’t wish on no one.

“My mind is clear”. Yoochun said.

“Then don’t marry Junsu, if you don’t love him, don’t marry him. If you do, you will both suffer”. Jaejoong made his plea.

“You love him, don’t you”. Yoochun asked, knowing that the answer was just going to further wound his heart. .

“With all my heart”.  Jae’s eyes were glistening with unshed tears.

“Then Yunho doesn’t love you”.

Jaejoong lowered his head, trying to contain his tears. It was the truth, Yunho didn’t love him, but that wasn’t even the worst part of it, how could he explain to his cousin all the lies………the betrayal……….the revenge.

Yoochun intertwined his fingers with Jae’s. “Tomorrow, I leave at dawn. The jet is going to be just a couple of hours from here, do you want to leave with me?”. He whispered, praying that Jaejoong would say yes.

“No I can’t. My aunt and Junsu would just die”.  He pulled away from him.

“I don’t care about either one of them”. He shouted.

“But I do care, Yoochun. They are my family. I can’t”. Jae shook his head.

“You want me to talk to Yunho”.

“About what?”.

“About how unhappy you are”.

“He knows that”. Jaejoong lowered his head in shame. He felt so small………..so insignificant, tears were already marking his pretty face.

Yoochun got even closer, taking Jaejoong’s hand into his once again. “What is going on Jaejoong?. You were never afraid of anything”.  He gently caressed his cheek and jaw line. Then cupping his chin with his hands, he raised Jae’s face wanting to see his eyes, and when he did; he saw all the despair in those onyx eyes that he loved so damn much. “if you are scared, let’s leave at midnight”. He insisted. .

“I can’t”.

You wanted to escape last night”

“I was confused., and now I want to do things the right way”.

“How do you want to do them then?”

“I-I…… want to leave with my head held high, I don’t want to escape. Yunho doesn’t love me, but it is not my fault. What can I do about that?”. He sobbed.

Yoochun squeezed his hands. “The important thing here is that you are not happy, love”.

“If I go now…..I would be corroborating what he thinks about me”. He choked out.

“Why do you care?”.

“I care because of me”. Jaejoong’s tears kept pouring out.

Yoochun cupped his face with both of his hands. “Think about it. I will wait for you tomorrow. My father will welcome you with open arms and you know it, and even if my mother doesn’t accept you in my house you can live with my aunt. You know she loves you. Please Jaejoong, think about it!!”.

“I just can’t”. He took Yoochun’s hands off his face.  “Besides, all of those doubts that you had of me…………….all those horrible things you said to me”. His started to breath harder, it hurt so much. “Why Yoochun?. Why?.  Sometimes I think that you hate me”.

“Why do you say that?”. Yoochun was almost in tears.

“Not only Yunho wants me to pay for something. You and my uncle did everything humanly possible to get me out of the house. Why?. His voice cracked with sorrow. To not be love by Yunho was one thing, but to know that his family didn’t love him anymore, that just kill Jaejoong even more.

“Don’t think about that, let’s just leave. Leave with me!”.  He kept begging him, not noticing the pair of brown eyes looking at them. At the entrance of the patio, Yunho stood there, immobile listening to everything that Jaejoong and Yoochun were talking, his hands were fisted by his side. “Jaejoong”. He spoke with authority.

Jaejoong immediately wiped away his tears, evading Yunho’s stare.

“What were you talking about?”. Yunho asked as he sat down beside his husband.

“We were talking about my future wedding”. Yoochun replied with a smile. Jaejoong suddenly stood up from his seat, wanting to just end the day, but before leaving he had few words for his beloved cousin. He walked up to him, giving him a kiss and a hug.

“Yoochu, I love so much and thank you for coming. Tell my uncle and aunt that I love them. Be happy and tell Junsu that he is marrying an exceptional man”. He raised his voice as the exceptional part. “You are like no one. Junsu is so lucky to have you”. He said as he looked as his husband with disdain.  After that, he went inside the house.

***

Jaejoong was getting ready for bed when he thought about escaping again. It would be so easy. “It is my last chance”. He spoke to no one. He got into his bed, hugging the pillow for comfort. He then remembered Yoochun’s words. “A brother, a cousin a friend or a lover”. He sighed as his mind was inundated with million of thoughts. “Why should I do?”. He asked to himself. He just wanted peace and Yoochun was offering him just that. He didn’t know what to do.

He couldn’t stand it anymore, suddenly the room was too warm for his comfort. He left the bed, pacing around in his dark room. “I can still leave, I could just take a couple of things, I can just go on and leave. He opened his bedroom door, but then closed it again.

He was fighting against himself. “No, no, that would be accepting my culpability. But, why should I care, after all he betrayed me. He is accusing me of his brother’s death”, he walked towards his bedroom’s window. It was so dark, he could barely see anything at all. “If I escape, he is going to think hat he was right. No, I have to show him that I am innocent!”. He crossed his arms in front on himself. “But what if I just end up hating him, sometimes I feel that I already hate him with all my heart”.

***

Yunho lay on his bed, only wearing some cotton pants. His mind was also busy that night. There was so much doubt and mistrust. “Maybe, he is going to escape tonight, he wanted to leave yesterday. But he came back. Why??”. He kept rolling back and forth from one side to the bed to the other. “Of course, he sent that fax, he contacted his family. He is lying like always”. He sat up, he couldn’t stand it anymore he was suffocating.

He stood up from his bed, pacing around in his room. “But Jaejoong is not like that. He would enjoy telling me that he is leaving with Yoochun. He hates me, he’s already told me so. Yoochun came here to save him from me!. He is escaping tonight!”. He grabbed his hair with his hands pulling it really hard. “No, no, I won’t let him leave!. I will stop him no matter what!”.
