Where were you all my life? 12/?
Summary:
Kim Jaejoong owns a construction company and that forces him to do business with the mafia even if he himself tries to remain within the law. However, some of the mafia men don’t appreciate that and keep threatening him. That’s why he hired Changmin, Junsu and Yoochun who are responsible for his security.
Jung Yunho is a cop specialized in domestic violence and sex crimes. During the chase of a sex offender he found himself thrown in a bigger investigation involving a paedophile/mafia man named Kim Jaejoong. As if that wasn’t enough he’s being framed for the murder of the sex offender and the mafia is blackmailing him with the evidence on his innocence to do one job for them: kill Jaejoong. Why? Because even the mafia wants him to bring down Kim Jaejoong.
And so their paths collided.

CHAPTER 12 - TALK AND RE-ENACT
An unhappy looking Changmin entered the control room.
-Has he moved?
-Nah. He almost crawled to bed and is still in the same position. What’s up with you?
-The boss almost had a fit when he found out no one had given food to our favourite guest and somehow he’s acting like I’m the one responsible for that. But hey, look at that. It’s such a waste of good food. It’s getting cold and he hasn't moved.
-Well, you did hit him pretty bad.
-Ah, love touches. Anyway, you can leave. I’ll stay here now. This is much better than putting up with an angry Jaejoong and some senile old man. Call me when it’s Monday.
…
It was an interesting afternoon. Jaejoong had given up on separating Mr. Thumper from his stuffed Bambi deer. He had also found out that helping a full grown man to bathe was not easy. The senile ramblings were entertaining, even if they left a bad taste in Jaejoong’s mouth. He didn’t like to see someone so far gone. Fortunately, he also found out that if he allowed him control of the tv remote, his new guest got quiet. So, Jaejoong and Junsu moved him to the living room sofa and left a guard nearby to keep watch, while they went in search of a wheeled chair.
Sometime later, Yoochun met with a grinning Junsu, returning with some cobwebs in his hair and a dusty wheel chair in his hands.
-Where were you?
-The attic. It was like a treasure hunt. Jaejoong’s father old chair was stored there. But I’m sorry to say I lost Jae during our quest.
-Oh, really?
-Yeahh. He fell prey to his old high school and college memories that he had stuffed there.
Suddenly, a smiling Jaejoong run past them, phone on his ear.
-Are you serious? The girl told you that? And you don’t know why?
-Hey, Jae!
-Going to my room. Ren’s on the phone and waiting on Skype. Later.
…
Jung Yunho had managed to sit up and eat. The amount of food was minimal but it restored some of his strength. He was even able to walk to the bathroom and return to bed without holding on to anything. He kept sitting staring at the wall. Suddenly he waved to the camera. And kept waving.
Soon after, an unwilling Changmin opened the door.
-What do you want?
-I... -He coughed painfully. -I want to... talk… with your boss.
Changmin stared hard at him.
-Just him. Not you.
Moments later, the tall bodyguard dragged through the corridors the bruised man who kept half stumbling behind him.
-Yoochun, Junsu, where is Jae?
The answer came on his radio. - In his room. Why?
-Meet me there.
The door was open so Changmin just entered. Yoochun and Junsu arrived almost at the same time and were surprised to see the chained man there. Their boss was sitting at the desk in front of his computer. Jaejoong heard footsteps but didn’t even look to see who it was and signalled to be left alone. The computer screen was filled with Ren’s smiling face and happy voice.
-Jaejae, you can’t be serious.
-You’re the one telling me what the girl did. You don’t believe me, ask your mom. Get a woman perspective.
-That’s why I asked you!
-Hey! You want a kick?
-Bring it on. I started training with the team already. The coach was blown away. I will be the one kicking you on that field.
-You suck at soccer. I’m bad, but you are worse. How did you get into a team?
Behind Ren another young male showed up, this time a caucasian teen with a full rapper outfit.
-Come on, Mr. Kim. My brother is awesome at soccer. It’s just girl speak he doesn’t understand. You tell him. He won’t believe me that the girl wants to date him.
-Again, how am I an expert in girl speak?
Another face joined. A caucasian women in her forties with an easy smile.
-Hello, Mr. Kim. These boys giving you any trouble?
-Yes! Please pull their ears for me.
-Right on it. Come on, boys. Practice time. Good to see you, Mr. Kim.
After saying goodbye and closing the computer, Jaejoong still had a big smile on his face when he turned and froze, surprised. Yoochun and Junsu were calmly sitting on a sofa near the wall, lost in each other. Changmin stood standing near the door, arms at his chest, face impatient. But what surprised Jaejoong the most was that his attacker was again in his room. The obviously weak man was sitting on the floor, a little behind Changmin, as if he had collapsed there. And he was staring at him, with wide open eyes, like he had grown a new head or something. Jaejoong frowned.
-What’s the meaning of this?
-Our guest here said he wanted to talk with you. Just you. - Said Changmin with his right thumb indicating the man behind him.
They all looked to the silent man. He was still staring at Jaejoong with a bewildered face.
…
Yunho was having trouble breathing. His head was spinning. “That’s Ren. Ren is alive. How? That guy said Jaejoong killed him. But that’s him. Talking. Smiling. Ren is alive. He’s alive. So, Jaejoong didn’t kill him? He really was adopted? But… Lord, what’s going on? It was Ren on that footage, it was him being beaten and raped. Doesn’t he know it was Jaejoong?”
The cop’s knees buckled under him and he sat on the floor staring at the impossible image in front of him.
“Siwon said Jaejoong had that footage in that computer. The same computer he’s using to talk with Ren. Even the creep who threatened me said Jaejoong is a paedophile. Taemin is still missing and the only common link is that man, right there. And that so called man raped me with no second thought. That same man who was just laughing with Ren. So, maybe Ren didn’t saw his face.”
-Hey!
Startled, Yunho looked to where the yell came from. “Ah, Tall Menace. Right.” Breathing deep, the cop looked at the sitting man on the desk and decided to carry forward with his previous decision.
-I decided to talk. I will tell you all I know. -His voice was still raspy and for a second, he noticed Jaejong averted his eyes. “That son of a bitch has the guts to look guilty? Dude, seriously? Get a shrink. ”
Yunho swallowed to try and moist his throat and continued.
-I was approached by some guy. I don’t know him. He wanted me to do a job for him. -With a tired voice he recalled all the details of the man outside his apartment that he could remember. He rather wanted these guys to catch that creep. Especially now that he knew his father was relatively safe. Judging from what the other two guards had said, his father was not being harmed, and at least here he would be safe from one threat. He had no idea how safe his father would be with Kim Jaejoong, but he felt better knowing his father was near him.
-All I know is he works for some unnamed mafia boss. Some mafia boss that really doesn’t like you.
Jaejoong got up from his chair and walked up to the bruised man. Changmin noticed enough of his boss mood to step away and join the other two guys on the sofa.
-That’s it? That’s the big secret that you were practically willing to die for? - Jaejoong nearly screamed the question.
-I’m sorry, but that guy was better at scaring me than you guys were.
-Junsu, Yoochun. Go check our record. See if any one matches that description.
-Yes, Sir.
The business man paced the floor. Changmin kept sitting on the sofa, silently watching how his boss mood got worse.
-What about the number you called?
-That was the only contact number I was given.
-Oh, really?
-Yes.
-You really want to convince me you let yourself be beaten like that to protect such useless information? Ok, what is your name? Who are you?
-That I can’t say.
-Super! Just great! And why not?
Silence.
Jaejoong almost pulled his hair when his question was answered with silence.
He turned to Changmin.
-Get the old man here!
Changmin chuckled.
-You want to introduce our Guest-Number-Two to our Guest-Number-One? Humm, this sould be interesting.
Yunho bit the inside of his cheeks to keep from reacting at that. He rather thought his Dad would lose what acting skills he had been using if he saw him this bruised. He couldn’t allow them to get his father.
-What old man? Another one of your friends to interrogate me? I thought I had already experienced all your different methods of interrogation. - Yunho said with a sneer.
The man’s words struck a chord inside Jaejoong’s conscience. And in a move to avoid those eyes while he still paced the room, he found himself looking at the wall mirror that reflected the image of the bed. Suddenly he remembered those same eyes in that same mirror. And another question sprang to his mind.
-Speaking of methods. What exactly is it that you were told to do?
Hearing that question, Changmin, who had been slowly moving to obey his boss’s order, stopped at the door.
Yunho looked up at Jaejoong and swallowed. His instincts told him he was making the beautiful man angry.“This is not going well. He’s about to snap. But I can’t let him send for my Dad. If I can convince him my father has nothing to do with this, maybe he’ll let him go. At least I have to distract him, make him forget.” With a very deliberate choice of words, and a foreboding sense that he was signing his death sentence, Jung Yunho lied.
-Remember how I didn’t have a gun with me? I wasn’t sent to kill you. I was sent to… hurt you. To scare you.
-Scare me?
-Yes.
-And how exactly did this mysterious guy told you to scare me?
-He didn’t.
-Really?
-He said he left it up to me.
-And what is it you decided to do?
-Punch you. I’m sure that with such a pretty girl face you don’t like to be punched.
Jaejoong was seething by now. His body was almost shaking. Memories of school bullies taunting him and thinking they could hit him surfaced. It had taken him a long time to realise a lot of those bullies were just angry that they found him attractive. And they would try and hit him because they would also assume he was as frail as he looked.
Walking to the door where Changmin still stood, Jaejoong pushed him out with no word and locked the door. Then he turned to the man still sitting on the floor and squatted in front of him at eye level.
-Punching?
Silence.
-You did more than punching.
Silence.
-Why?
Silence.
-Let me get this straight. You’re saying you were randomly hired to scare me. You’re saying that you were not told how to scare me. You’re saying you were the one who decided how to scare me. You’re saying you were the one who decide to punch me. So…
…
Changmin returned to the control room with a stunned look and sat next to Yoochun and Junsu who were busy looking over pictures and old surveillance footage.
-That guy is crazy.
-Who?
-Our Guest-Number-One. Seriously. He’s crazier than Guest-Number-Two. And you’ve seen Guest-Number-Two.
-What did he do?
-I swear he got Jaejoong riddled up on purpose. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a repeat of Friday night happening upstairs.
-What? What do you mean?
-That crazy bastard kinda just said, out loud, mind you, that he decided to try to rape Jae, cause Jae is so pretty. At least that’s what I think he was saying. -The younger man slumped on a chair facing his two friends and co-workers. -Remember how Jae is sensitive about his pretty looks. Let’s face it, part of the reason he hired us, is because we are good looking. His secretary Jun Ki? Insanely competent, sure, but again, good looking as hell. It’s like he keeps trying not to be the one everyone will notice. We have witnessed enough business meetings with TOP’s dogs to know that they always underestimate Jaejoong because of his face. Even regular business men always do that and Jae hates it with a passion. Then there’s what happened with Ren. And finally in comes this crazy dude, trying to rape him Friday night. We know very well that he raped the dude as payback, thanks to that temper of his. Now that same dude just called Jaejoong pretty; of all the things to say to that man’s face, pretty as an insult is the last one you wanna use. - Changmin huffed. -And you guys say I have a temper?
Yoochun whistled.
-That crazy dude just told Jae he tried to rape him cause Jae looks pretty or feminine or weak or something like that?
-Pretty much.
-Oh, he’s toast. Nobody tells Jae he’s weak. Especially if they think he’s weak cause he’s more beautiful than a girl.
…
Jaejoong grabbed the sitting man in front of him by the t-shirt and pulled him up, dragging him to the bed. The cuffed man tried to struggle but found himself slung onto the bed.
-Ok, let’s talk.
Climbing on bed, Jaejoong laid down and, surprisingly, pulled the other man on top of him.
-So, re-enactment? How about that? You got me by surprise while I was sleeping. You punched me repeatedly. My face still shows the bruises as proof. A good way to scare me as you said. What next?
Yunho looked confused at the angry man underneath him, his face so close to his own. The huge eyes searching his were incredibly angry. He tried to move away.
-Ah, right. I punched you back, didn’t I? -Jaejoong punched the face above him. The chained man got thrown to the side but almost immediately he was pulled back on top again.
-Now we reach the part I really, really want you to explain to me. You grabbed me when I tried to run away. But you stopped punching me. Why?
Yunho swallowed and averted those eyes.
-Come on, don’t be shy. We already know each other so well, so intimately, in fact. We can talk as friends. You can be honest with me. Why?
The cop fought a shiver of fear down his spine. This was messing with his head. He was actually starting to feel guilty for what he had done. The words were hard, and meant to insult and humiliate him. But the eyes were accusing him of being a worse person for what he had done first, long before anything had been done to him. He tried to get away again but the grip around his body was too strong. “Shit! What now? I can’t mention Ren and Taemin. He can’t find out I know about that. I still have no idea where Taemin is. But if he keeps thinking like this…”
The silence just kept Jaejoong angry.
-What? Now it doesn’t work anymore? My charms not working in the day light?
The trapped man tried to stale for time. He needed to think.
-What do you want to hear?
-Why?
Something about that accusing angry gaze tipped the scale for Yunho. He had wanted to hurt this man to punish him for hurting those two boys. It bothered him to see someone capable of that, acting like a poor victim. And there was also what this man had done to him Friday night, then just last night again… So, Yunho told a part of the truth. A part of the truth that was difficult for him to admit out loud. Exactly the part he knew was going to hurt both of them and come back to bite him in the ass. However, since he was in no condition to hurt Kim Jaejoong physically, he would take what he could get. And he already knew the exact weak spot to hit.
-Why? Why? Have you looked in the mirror? I’m gay. I had you pinned and helpless. And you’re the prettiest thing I ever had underneath me. Why not?
This time the chained man fell to the floor with the punch. Jaejoong grabbed him off the floor and pushed him back on the bed. Then he went to the drawer where he had stashed the ropes from the other night and used them to tie the man to the bed. Still too angry, Jaejoong straddled the man.
-This time I will be nicer. If you want to stare at me, you don’t need to look in the mirror. You are facing me. You can see everything I’m going to do.

…
It was an interesting afternoon. Jaejoong had given up on separating Mr. Thumper from his stuffed Bambi deer. He had also found out that helping a full grown man to bathe was not easy. The senile ramblings were entertaining, even if they left a bad taste in Jaejoong’s mouth. He didn’t like to see someone so far gone. Fortunately, he also found out that if he allowed him control of the tv remote, his new guest got quiet. So, Jaejoong and Junsu moved him to the living room sofa and left a guard nearby to keep watch, while they went in search of a wheeled chair.

-You suck at soccer. I’m bad, but you are worse. How did you get into a team?
Behind Ren another young male showed up, this time a caucasian teen with a full rapper outfit.
-Come on, Mr. Kim. My brother is awesome at soccer. It’s just girl speak he doesn’t understand. You tell him. He won’t believe me that the girl wants to date him.

-Junsu, Yoochun. Go check our record. See if any one matches that description.
-Yes, Sir.
The business man paced the floor. Changmin kept sitting on the sofa, silently watching how his boss mood got worse.
-What about the number you called?
-That was the only contact number I was given.
-Oh, really?
-Yes.
-You really want to convince me you let yourself be beaten like that to protect such useless information? Ok, what is your name? Who are you?

-I swear he got Jaejoong riddled up on purpose. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a repeat of Friday night happening upstairs.
-What? What do you mean?
-That crazy bastard kinda just said, out loud, mind you, that he decided to try to rape Jae, cause Jae is so pretty.

-Ah, right. I punched you back, didn’t I? -Jaejoong punched the face above him. The chained man got thrown to the side but almost immediately he was pulled back on top again.
-Now we reach the part I really, really want you to explain to me. You grabbed me when I tried to run away. But you stopped punching me. Why?
Yunho swallowed and averted those eyes.
-Come on, don’t be shy. We already know each other so well, so intimately, in fact. We can talk as friends. You can be honest with me. Why?
The cop fought a shiver of fear down his spine. This was messing with his head. He was actually starting to feel guilty for what he had done. The words were hard, and meant to insult and humiliate him. But the eyes were accusing him of being a worse person for what he had done first, long before anything had been done to him. He tried to get away again but the grip around his body was too strong. “Shit! What now? I can’t mention Ren and Taemin. He can’t find out I know about that. I still have no idea where Taemin is. But if he keeps thinking like this…”
The silence just kept Jaejoong angry.
-What? Now it doesn’t work anymore? My charms not working in the day light?
The trapped man tried to stale for time. He needed to think.
-What do you want to hear?
-Why?
Something about that accusing angry gaze tipped the scale for Yunho. He had wanted to hurt this man to punish him for hurting those two boys. It bothered him to see someone capable of that, acting like a poor victim. And there was also what this man had done to him Friday night, then just last night again… So, Yunho told a part of the truth. A part of the truth that was difficult for him to admit out loud. Exactly the part he knew was going to hurt both of them and come back to bite him in the ass. However, since he was in no condition to hurt Kim Jaejoong physically, he would take what he could get. And he already knew the exact weak spot to hit.
-Why? Why? Have you looked in the mirror? I’m gay. I had you pinned and helpless. And you’re the prettiest thing I ever had underneath me. Why not?
This time the chained man fell to the floor with the punch. Jaejoong grabbed him off the floor and pushed him back on the bed. Then he went to the drawer where he had stashed the ropes from the other night and used them to tie the man to the bed. Still too angry, Jaejoong straddled the man.
-This time I will be nicer. If you want to stare at me, you don’t need to look in the mirror. You are facing me. You can see everything I’m going to do.
