“MickChun?”
Jaejoong repeated, a bit more emotional.
Yoochun noticed the piece of paper Jaejoong was holding, his picture. “You went through my stuffs?”
Jaejoong ignored it, “You knew who I was?”
Yoochun fell silent.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You didn’t recognize me…” Yoochun muttered, looking away from Jaejoong.
“I did!” Jaejoong defended, and Yoochun turned back to him in surprise. “Of course I did! But you were so little; I didn’t expect you to remember me. If I knew you remember…”
“What am I supposed to do, hyung?” Yoochun hissed. “Walk up to you and introduce myself as MickChun? What if you don’t remember me? What if you don’t want me anymore that I grew up?”
“How could you say that?” Jaejoong said in disbelief.
Yoochun grabbed the picture from Jaejoong’s hand, “You still have no right to go through my stuffs!”
Jaejoong ignored it again, “And are you going to ever let me know who you are?”
“No,” Yoochun said honestly. “I wasn’t planning on telling you.”
Jaejoong rubbed his temple, “Do you have any idea how heartbreaking it was seeing you in Junsu’s arms? I keep thinking you don’t need me anymore that you grew up and you have someone else to take care of you.”
Yoochun scoffed. How more ironic could it be? He first agreed to date Junsu because he needed distraction. Now the object of the obsession he wanted to get rid of so much said he was heartbroken seeing him with Junsu. “I see you’re still with Yunho. At least I don’t get in the way anymore.”
“What are you talking about?” Jaejoong narrowed his eyes. “Yunho might be jealous that I care so much about you but he understood that you’re like my own brother. There’s nothing to be jealous of.”
Somehow, the words stung but Yoochun couldn’t quite figure out the reason why.
Jaejoong sighed and pulled Yoochun into a hug, startling the younger. “I missed you so much,” Jaejoong said, voice barely above a whisper. “And you fulfilled your promise to me, I’m so proud of you.”
Yoochun froze, unable to hug back. His mind was in ruckus. So Jaejoong remembered him? But he… He…what? He didn’t even know what to feel. He gently would his arms around the older’s. “I missed you too, hyung,” tears started falling from Yoochun’s eyes. He had feared being found out so much, but if he knew Jaejoong remembered him, it wouldn’t be this hard. He wouldn’t have to go though all the insecurities he had felt for years.
“Shhh, don’t cry,” Jaejoong caressed Yoochun’s head. “Hyung is here. I will take care of you.”
“What happened?”
Both Jaejoong and Yoochun turned to the door. They abruptly let go of each other and Yoochun wiped his tears when they saw Junsu and Changmin standing there.
Junsu rushed to hug his boyfriend and glared at Jaejoong, “Why are you crying, Chunnie?”
Jaejoong looked up to his best friend who was still standing by the door, “Did you know about this?”
Changmin nodded.
“Why…”
“You have Yunho,” Changmin replied coldly. “Don’t you think it will hurt Yunho if he knows you still think about Yoochun? Don’t you think you’ve hurt him enough?”
“But…”
“Besides,” Changmin continued, “You stopped talking about him since you came back from US. I thought you’ve finally forgotten him.”
“Changmin…”
He shrugged, “Well, now you know the truth, I hope he stays as your favorite dongsaeng, Jae.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?!” Junsu demanded before Jaejoong could respond. “He will stay as a dongsaeng, right Jaejoong hyung?”
“What are you guys talking about?” Yoochun asked, confused.
“Nothing,” Jaejoong sighed. “I’ll go now, I promised to meet Yunho for dinner.” He took his cup of coffee and kissed Yoochun’s forehead, despite Junsu’s protest.
“I’ll go with you,” Changmin said. “See you guys tomorrow.”
As soon as the door closed, Junsu turned to Yoochun. “What the actual fuck?”
“He saw the picture on my wallet…”
Junsu groaned, “That’s why I told you to fix that bad habit of yours! You leave your stuffs everywhere!”
Yoochun pouted, “Why are you yelling at me?”
“I’m not yelling!”
“You just did!”
Junsu sighed, “Sorry…just… What the fuck?”
Yoochun shrugged, “I don’t know how to act either. He said he missed me.”
“He missed you? When you’re fucking obsessed with him, he simply missed you?”
“Su, stop,” Yoochun sipped on his already cold coffee. “Everything Jaejoong does is wrong to you.”
“Right on.”
Yoochun sighed, “Whatever.”
Junsu pulled Yoochun into a hug as the latter was about to walk out of the room. “I love you,” he whispered. “I love you, Yoochun.”
Yoochun hugged back and buried his face on Junsu’s neck. It was warm, familiar, unlike Jaejoong’s almost foreign touch. The reply Junsu was expecting got stuck somewhere between Yoochun’s heart and throat. He pulled back just enough to kiss Yoochun on the lips. “Come on, I’ll buy you dinner,” he said as he took Yoochun’s hand and led him out of the room.

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me he’s really MickChun,” Jaejoong said, keeping his eyes on the road as he drove.
“It’s none of my business. It’s your relationship with Yoochun, not mine. I have no right to interfere, honestly,” Changmin replied as carelessly from the passenger seat.
“But I told you I have the feeling he’s MickChun! All you had to do was say yes!”
“Jaejoong,” Changmin rubbed his temple, “Don’t be stupid. Maybe he was everything to you when he was little, but now? He’s a grown boy, and he’s as capable as you are to fall in love.”
“What does it have to do with anything?”
“You are stupid,” Changmin sighed. “He’s a vulnerable teenager. He’s dating his best friend for comfort, I can see that, but with you in the picture now, it will surely affect him. You were his idol, his role model. It would be easy for him to fall for you, to become more obsessed. Then what? He’s going to be the only one hurting because you have Yunho.”
“Changmin, he won’t…”
“He grew up with me. I know him better than you ever will.”
“And you’re saying…”
“Make up your mind,” he said sternly. “Make sure he stays a dongsaeng to you and you’re a hyung to him, or leave again. For good.”

Yunho sipped on his coffee and sighed as Jaejoong stared at his own cup, unmoving. He put down his cup to the table and looked around his apartment, trying to avoid Jaejoong’s eyes. He wanted to avoid that look of longing and happiness in his boyfriend’s eyes, that happiness that was caused by someone else. Someone he despised.
It might have been ridiculous to hate on a kid, but he did. He had always seen Yoochun as a competitor, even ten years ago. It was childish of him to act like that, but no one could deny Jaejoong paid more attention to Yoochun than to him.
And now, the little devil was back.
“Jaejoong?”
The said man looked up from his cup, smiling. There was an apparent trace of guilt on his face, but happiness beamed brightly from the smile. Yunho sighed, what the fuck…
“So, what’s next?”
“Ten years worth of catching up,” Jaejoong shrugged. “I don’t know, make up for the time we’ve lost together. God, I missed him.” he chuckled. “Playing soccer again would be nice.”
Yunho nodded. They fell into silence again and Jaejoong stared at an old picture, the picture Yunho wanted to throw away so much.
“Jaejoong?”
“Hm?”
“Don’t shut me out again,” Yunho said as he leaned forward to capture his lover’s lips on a coffee flavored kiss.

Junsu passed the ball to Yoochun perfectly. Yoochun received it and scored almost immediately. He smiled at Junsu and turned to an unmistakably loud cheer from the audience seat. Jaejoong, of course, and he grinned at him. Jaejoong was jumping on his seat and Changmin had to pull him back down for being too embarrassing.
Half an hour later, the referee blew the whistle and the game was over. Junsu’s team won with five points ahead, two of them made by Yoochun. He walked to the fence, where Jaejoong and Changmin were sitting at the front row. “Hyung, you came! I see you successfully brought Changmin hyung here,” Yoochun giggled.
Changmin rolled his eyes, “Yes, he was banging on my apartment door. Crazy bitch.”
Jaejoong laughed, “Awesome game, MickChun. You definitely got a lot of practice when I was gone.”
“Of course I did! I wouldn’t make it to the team if I didn’t!”
“If only I was there to watch every game…” Jaejoong smiled wryly.
“And if only you had chosen tennis instead of soccer, you wouldn’t need a manager,” Changmin cut, pointing towards Junsu with his chin. Yoochun turned around to see Ji Soo, their manager, handing Junsu a bottle of water and wiped the sweat dripping on the side of Junsu’s face with a towel. She must be praising him real good considering the huge grin on Junsu’s face.
Yoochun scowled, “Excuse me, I have a bitch to take care of.”
Jaejoong chuckled as he watched Yoochun walked towards Junsu. Yoochun grabbed Junsu’s arm and dragged him to the changing room as Junsu waved goodbye and said thank you to Ji Soo. Ji Soo giggled and waved back, ignoring Yoochun’s glare. Jaejoong watched Yoochun a little too long, Changmin noticed, but he didn’t say a word. There was a hint of jealousy on his eyes, but Jaejoong’s smile covered it up pretty well.
Jaejoong finally turned to Changmin as Yoochun disappeared from the field, “Let’s grab lunch together with them after this.”
“I wouldn’t reject any offer involving food,” Changmin grinned as they exited the field.

“We wouldn’t have anymore meeting until next two weeks. See you all by then,” Junsu said as he closed his presentation.
The stakeholders and Kim Group representatives gathered their stuffs and prepared themselves to leave, except Jaejoong. As the room emptied, he walked towards Junsu. “Hey, where’s Yoochun?”
“Do I have to remind you that he is actually a high school student?” Junsu answered sarcastically.
“Yeah, well, you are too…” Jaejoong reasoned.
“I have a company to run. Considering how Yoochun hated business, I would most likely be the one to take care of Park Group. I’d have to take care of him, as always.”
Jaejoong narrowed his eyes, “You sound confident.”
“You know, growing up together and stuff. I know him inside out from the time we spent together, the time you were God knows where,” Junsu shrugged and walked towards the door. “And I do think you’re taking too much of his time when I’m not around.”
“Hey,” Jaejoong called and Junsu stopped, turning towards him. “I know I wasn’t there for the past ten years, but I do care about him.”
“He’s underage and taken. Fuck off,” Junsu said before exiting the room.
Jaejoong sighed and exited the room. He promised to go over to Yunho’s for dinner but suddenly he didn’t feel like meeting Yunho, so he texted his boyfriend to cancel and called Yoochun instead. “MickChun, want to come over for dinner?”
***
Since Jaejoong was too busy at the moment, Yunho decided to stop by on Park Tower and check up on his boyfriend. He was worried if Jaejoong lose track of time and forget to eat dinner again, so he brought coffee and sushi for him. Just as Yunho exited the elevator, he saw Jaejoong rushing out of the room while talking on the phone.
He was about to call out for him when Jaejoong laughed and said, “See you tonight, MickChun,” before disconnecting the call and rushed off somewhere.
Yunho narrowed his eyes. What did Jaejoong mean by tonight? He shrugged the thoughts off; maybe it was work. He turned around when Changmin called him. “What are you doing here?” Changmin greeted him.
“I was about to see Jaejoong but he seemed busy. He rushed off somewhere.”
Changmin narrowed his eyes, “But we’re done for today…”
“Eh?” Yunho scowled. “But…” He’s canceling dinner with me to see Yoochun? “Never mind. Want to finish this sushi with me?”
Changmin grinned and nodded. “Sure.”

“Yes, Yunho-sshi. I saw Yoochun walked into Jaejoong-sshi’s apartment an hour ago. There also had been rumors about their relationship in the office as they acted too close to be only business partners.”
Yunho nodded and rubbed his temple.
“However, there was also a rumor that Junsu, Yoochun’s boyfriend, was planning something with the company. I heard Junsu has more superior power in Park Group than Yoochun, despite being the son of Mr. Park, and he made most of the decisions in the company.”
“I see, he was the one who decided to take Kim Group’s offer over Jung Corporation?”
“Yes, some are saying Junsu used Yoochun’s relationship with Jaejoong-sshi as a business strategy so Park and Kim’s business relationship becomes more personal. Thus, Kim side would more easily agree to Park’s ways.”
“Thank you, Lee. You can go now,” Yunho said as he shoved some money to Jaejoong’s driver’s pocket.
“Excuse me, Yunho-sshi,” the man said as he walked out of Yunho’s apartment.
Yunho sighed and threw himself to the couch. So Jaejoong really did cancel their dinner to meet Yoochun. Rage bubbled up his throat as he smashed the wine glass on his hand to the floor. What the fuck was in Jaejoong’s head? Yunho thought. Was Yoochun so much more important than him? He’s just a kid, for God’s sake!
He remembered how for the last three months after Jaejoong found out about MickChun, their relationship came back to the distant state it was ten years ago. Yunho shook his head, “No. I won’t lose Jaejoong. Not to Yoochun. I won’t let ten years of waiting go to waste.”
More over, he wanted to give Junsu a lesson for choosing Kim’s offer and not his company’s. He was depending on their merger to increase his market share, but Junsu’s decision ruined his plan and more over, chose Kim’s over him. Also, if Junsu hadn’t chosen Kim over Jung, Jaejoong and Yoochun wouldn’t have met.
His eyes landed on a piece of paper on the table, Jaejoong’s schedule and Yoochun’s estimated activity for the week that Lee gave him earlier. Yunho picked it up and saw one schedule where Yoochun would have to work late for the night. He smirked, “Yoochun will pay for this.”
