→ Yunho came from London after four year with his degree. He was composed, serious and successful; the total opposite from his old playboy, reckless and wild self during high school.

Chapter 3: Their meeting
“Jaejoong?”
It took Jaejoong a few seconds to register what was happening. It took him another second to process the new presence standing few steps away from him. The man in front of him called him by his full name, not his nick name. To make it weirder, the man looked just like his friend Yunho.
He had a small face, just like Yunho, but a lot of people had a small face. He had brown hair, Yunho’s hair was black. He was tall; taller than the Yunho he knew. His body was much more muscular. But he had a mole above his lips in the exact same place as Yunho’s and his voice screamed ‘Yunho’.
“Yunho?”
“God Jae it is you”
Jaejoong was suddenly engulfed in a bone breaking hug. Never had he imagined meeting Yunho again. It was a dream that he wished would never come true, not with his current life, not when he was wearing these revealing clothes and definitely not when he was dancing this erotic on the dance floor.
Yunho was hugging him tightly and he didn’t know what to do. Should he hug him back? Should he smile, laugh or cry? Should he feel happy or sad? What exactly was he supposed to do? It was so damn confusing.
He finally settled to the option of not doing anything. He stood still and received Yunho’s hug. The arms around him tightened and his face was buried in Yunho’s chest. He could clearly hear Yunho’s heartbeat and they were beating faster than usual.
“I can’t breathe”
He whispered once the hug overwhelmed him and confusion got the best of his brain.
“This place is so noisy. Let’s go somewhere quite”
Yunho took Jaejoong’s wrist in his hand and dragged him away from the dance floor and a little bit more further to one of the club’s private rooms. The image was so familiar that Jaejoong felt his stomach twisting.
How many times was he dragged like this to the same room at the end of the club? What did Yunho want from him? Did he want to kiss him and take him and violate him like the others who dragged him to that room. What was happening? What should he do? And if Yunho really was going to sleep with him, would he be able to do it? Was he emotionally capable of handling such new burden?
Sleeping with strangers was not that easy. But it was somehow forgettable, without strings and feelings. But Yunho? His friend? His first and up till now only love. No, he couldn’t do it.
Tears filled his eyes at the thought of Yunho’s name joining the list of the people who consumed his body like it was a rag ball. How filthy could he get to get banged even by his friend?
They entered the room and Yunho closed the door. Jaejoong’s heart raced and he started imagining all sort of things that Yunho would do to him. He was freaking out and breathing became so difficult for his overwhelmed lungs.
“I missed you”
Yunho hugged him again. This time the hug was soft, warm, comforting and full of feelings of longing. The hug spoke and said ‘this is me hugging you, the one I truly missed so much’. Jaejoong relaxed in Yunho’s arms. What was he thinking about? This was his friend, the one who loved him like a brother and cared about him. He was someone who never hurt him and would never do. This was his only best friend who defended him in high school and helped him in his studies. The one who never let go of him even when he knew how poor he was compared to his family’s wealth. He was his first love who he couldn’t help but give him his heart.
“Yunnie”
Jaejoong whispered and raised his arms only to wrap it around Yunho’s waist, feeling the warmth of his body that he longed for ever since their separation in the airport.
“You’re such a bad guy Joongie”
Jaejoong froze and his body stiffened. Yunho’s words sinking in his tired head. He was a bad guy? So he knew what he was and what he did for living? But how? Was his little show on the dance floor that revealing to Yunho as his other clients?
“You’re doing it again. Freezing when your brain gets stuck” Yunho whispered chuckling and broke the hug, his arms still around Jaejoong’s shoulder. Jaejoong looked at him with sad, confused and worried eyes.
“Don’t look at me like that, God I missed you so much. Where have you been? You’re such a bad guy jaejoong, making me worry about you for all those years”
“I-I… You were worried about me?“
“What? Of course I was” Yunho quirked his brows in disapproval.
“I tried to call you but I couldn’t get through. I asked my parents and they didn’t know anything”
Yunho led Jaejoong to the couch and seated him beside him.
“Yeah, we, ummm, I…” Jaejoong tried to form a proper sentence but the words were stuck in his throat.
“What happened?” Yunho noticed Jaejoong’s bafflement and tried to find out what happened.
“Something happened. Umm, how are you Yunho?”
“I’m fine. Actually I’m great. How are you?”
“I’m good”
“Gosh look at you, you look so…” Yunho looked at Jaejoong’s appearance and let a surprised laugh get out of his mouth “…Hot, I mean I’ve never seen you like this before. You look great”
Jaejoong fidgeted in his seat and smiled wearily.
“Um, thanks. You look great too” Jaejoong pointed out.
“Well, thanks Jae. And the way you were dancing was so sexy, who taught you how to dance like that?”
Jaejoong was about to answer when Yunho interrupted him.
“No wait. We need to sit and talk, like really talk. I’m so happy that I finally found you”
“I’m happy too”
“Are you ok? You look pale!” Yunho stroked Jaejoong’s shoulder worriedly when he noticed Jaejoong lowering his head and swallowing his saliva nervously.
“I-I’m okay. I just need to rest. It’s been a long day” Jaejoong forced a grin and wiggled in his seat trying to get as far away from Yunho as he could. He raised his head and his features turned upside down from a grin to a shocked face and wide bewildered eyes. The stain in the wall made him feel sick again and he wanted to get out of this room as soon as possible.
“I need to go. It was really great meeting you again Yunho, but I need to go” Jaejoong stood and was about to storm out of the room when Yunho grabbed his arm.
“Wait, give me your number. I will call you”
“Yeah sure”
Jaejoong fished out his phone and gave it to Yunho. Yunho entered his phone number and called himself. His phone vibrated in his pocket and then he returned the phone to Jaejoong.
“Come on I will drive you home”
“NO”
“Huh?”
“I mean, I have somewhere else to go, and then I will go home. Thanks, you don’t really have to drive me anywhere”
“Oh, ok. Then can I walk you to the door?”
“Yeah sure”
Jaejoong walked out of the room and Yunho walked behind him. Yunho sped up and held Jaejoong’s hand and walked beside him. Jaejoong tensed at first but when he saw the eyes of the hungry men following his moves and glaring at his and Yunho’s hands he relaxed and got closer to Yunho. Once they were outside, Yunho gave Jaejoong one final hug before leaving him and getting inside the club again.
“See you later Jae”
“Bye”

A knock on the door succeeded to drive Changmin’s attention away from the screen. He checked his watch and sighed as if knowing who was on the door. He muted the sound of the TV and walked to open the door and his expectations were right.
“Hey Minnie”
“Yo man, come in”
Jaejoong entered the apartment and took the familiar path to the kitchen.
“I need some water”
“How many did you blow today?”
“Shut up”
Changmin raised his hands in the air in defeat. He walked behind Jaejoong to the kitchen and took a seat on one of the chairs of the kitchen table.
“So, what happened?”
Jaejoong drank three glasses of water before dropping on a chair beside Changmin. He rested his head on his folded arms and sighed deeply.
“Yunho”
“Who?”
“Jung Yunho”
“Your friend from high school?”
“Him”
“What about him?”
Jaejoong looked at Changmin and then dropped his head again with a growl.
“I met him today”
“What? Really? Wow you must be really happy”
“In the club, when I was dancing”
“Oh shoot”
“I know” Jaejoong whined and pulled his hair before hitting his head on the table.
“Did he…?”
“No, he was just dancing and when I turned around he was there and he recognized me instantly”
“But how? You are totally different from before”
“It’s Yunho remember? He has this brain that memorizes everything and remembers everyone”
“So what happened?”
“Nothing actually. Oh thank God, he thought I was just dancing sexily”
“He said that you were sexy?”
“Yes he did and I felt so dir-”
“Stop it okay. I don’t want to hear you saying that about yourself” Changmin snickered angrily and glared at Jaejoong. “What did he say?”
“He said that he missed me and he was worried about me. Changmin, I feel so confused and scared and happy at the same time. I’m happy because I finally met him again but so scared that he will find out about what I do. What if he hated me?”
“Look, if he is really your friend and he really loves you then he won’t judge you, he will help you. Even if he hated you, you lived without him for four years, and his existence won’t make any difference unless it was for the better”
“I don’t know Changmin. But I felt so safe with him. When he held me I felt my heart beating again. Gosh I thought that I forgot about him, but I still love him and it’s not fair”
Jaejoong broke into tears and Changmin was there hugging him and whispering comforting words in his ears.
“Shhh, everything will be fine”
“No Changmin, everything will not be fine. I hate myself, gosh I just hate myself”
“Don’t say that” Changmin tightened his arms around Jaejoong. “You are a great man”
Jaejoong scoffed
“Yeah a great man who got fucked by almost every asshole in the country”
“Hyung, please. Just stop what you are doing, please hyung, you’re just hurting yourself”
“I can’t”
“Why?” Changmin squeezed Jaejoong arms and looked at him with sad eyes.
“I need to pay the rent and the school’s fees”
“Just why are you living in such a big apartment. Just ditch that place and get back to your small room” changmin snapped and hit the kitchen table.
“No, I can’t do this to Junsu” Jaejoong shook his head.
“But he is old enough to see that what he wants hurts you. God there is cheaper schools and cheaper apartments. Why these? Just stop what you are doing”
Jaejoong stood on his feet and kicked the chair he was sitting on, sending it flying and hitting the wall.
“Shut the fuck up Changmin, what do you know? Hah, tell me what you know, your parents pay for your rent and your school fees. And just so you know, even that cheap apartment needed hell of a sum of money. I had to work four jobs just to pay for that small two rooms apartment, and couldn’t afford Junsu’s school fees. You really think the schools are cheap? Well wake up little rich kid, it’s not that cheap. Even with all the jobs I took, it was either the apartment or the school and we couldn’t live in the streets, now could we?”
Jaejoong slummed on the floor and covered his face with his hands.
“I’m sorry” Changmin whispered and kneeled beside Jaejoong hugging him and whipping his pouring tears. “I’m really sorry”
“It’s ok” Jaejoong sniffed and cleared his throat. “You’re my only friend. Just don’t leave me okay?”
Changmin nodded and sat beside Jaejoong on the floor. They rested their back at the kitchen cabinet, Changmin’s head on Jaejoong’s shoulder.
“Everything will be fine, I’m sure of it” Changmin whispered.
“I hope they will”

“Woah, who was the hottie with you just now?”
Yunho sat on the stall on the bar and ordered a beer. He grinned and winked to a girl on the other side of the bar.
“Dude, who was that? Was he your ride of the night?”
“What? No!!” Yunho frowned and shook his head. “That was my friend, Jaejoong”
“Jaejoong? The one you were looking for when we were in London?”
“Yup” Yunho sipped from his beer and grinned again.
“You didn’t say that he was this hot”
“Because he wasn’t that hot, I mean, he was pretty and attractive but never sexy”
“Did you like him?” Donghae raised a single brow and gave yunho an evil smirk.
“What? No, I didn’t like him, he was my best friend. But he was so innocent and shy. And believe me, I’ve never thought that I would see him dancing so seductively like that” He put the beer down and sighed.
“What? Regret that you didn’t bang him?”
Yunho gave Donghae a disgusted look and turned to look at the dance floor.
“He was sad”
“Huh?”
“He looked sad and broken. I’ve never seen that look on his face, there were tears in his eyes and he tried to get away from me”
“But why? I thought that you were his only friend”
“I don’t know, yet. But I will find out”
“It’s been how long? Four years, right? You don’t know what life did to him”
Yunho thought about Donghae’s words and sighed. Something was wrong with Jaejoong. There were too many emotions in his dark eyes, and he couldn’t understand them at all. He wanted to know what made his friend’s eyes look like that; so sad, so depressed, so confused and so dejected. He wanted to know why Jaejoong was trying to avoid his questions and even his existence beside him.
“I will know”
