PrologueChapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Interlude Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8
We all went back to our own place to get our stuff to go to the gym. Hyukjae and I were the first to reach the gym. We went and change our clothes and by then Brian had arrived and had also changed his clothes. I went up to talk to him with Hyukjae following close behind.
“Brian, I hope you know what you’re are doing.” I said to him.
“Are you afraid what I will do to him?” He asked.
“I hope your personal feelings towards him will not affect how you deal with him.”
“I should say the same to you.” I was about to ask him what he means by that when I saw Micky arrived. I quickly went over to him.
“How do you feel? Nervous?” I asked, holding his hands in mine. They were cold so I helped to rub them, hoping some of my warmth and assurance could be transmitted to him.
“Su, will you think less of me if I lose?” He looked intently at me and asked. Isn’t it a bit too late to ask this question? He should have thought about that before he accepted the fight.
“No, silly, I like you for who you are not because you can fight well.” It doesn’t matter whether he win or lose, I just hope he won’t be hurt in the process.
“Just shoot me next time if I do anything stupid like this again.” He said jokingly, hoping to lighten the mood. He could always make me smile.
“If you do anything stupid like that again, I will.” I replied in mock seriousness, a smile on my face. Next time I will be around to make sure that he doesn’t do something stupid like this anymore.
“Don’t worry, he won’t dare to hurt you too much. Aim for his left side, he’s weaker on that side.” I advised him. I don’t think Brian will be too ruthless in his attack but it was better to be safe than sorry.
“How do you know that?” Micky asked me in surprise. I could tell he was wondering why I would know these things from the way he was looking at me, especially taking in the fact the way I was dressed today.
“So are we fighting or talking?” Brian called out to us, impatience written on his face.
“Micky. Good luck, remember left.” I reminded him before giving him a good luck kiss on his cheek and made my way to sit down with the rest of the guy to watch the match.
After the bout with Hyukjae, I could see that Micky was not as nervous as the last time since he knew he was disadvantaged in the first place, there was nothing to do but to fight. The two of them faced off each other on the mat, each eyeing the other. We cheered them on but the two guys were not paying attention to us on the side but on each other.
They started out testing the other by trying to give each other kicks. Micky was taller so his legs were longer and thus have a better reach. Brian on the other hand is stockier and heavier than Micky so his kicks are stronger. Brian was weak on his left side and Micky was left-handed or legged, this giving him a slight edge over the other. Soon they got into the fight and the kicks and attacks became faster and harder, while trying to block the other attacks.
Micky remembered my advice on kicking Brian on his left, attacking it furiously; however Brian was more skilled, pivoting away from the attacks time and again.
It was not only a physical competition but a mental one too, each trying to find the weak point of the other. Brian executed an axe kick on Micky and he managed to block it with his quick reflexes, but I could tell the impact was still there. Brian notices it too and he started a few continuous kicks while Micky could only blocked them as much as possible.
After a few tries, Brian managed to hit Micky with a kick to his side. Micky nearly fell from the impact, but manages to roll away from the next attack. He was getting tired from all the dodging and blocking. He needed to start attacking too. He finally found a chance and aimed a spin kick on Brian but he was too skilled, easily deflecting it and again kicking him on the same side that he hit. This time Micky fell down onto the mat from the attack.
“Stop. That’s enough. You’ve won.” I quickly shouted out to Brian who I saw had moved towards Micky seeming to put in another kick. I moved to help Micky off the mat, letting him lean against me.
“Micky, are you all right?” I asked in concern as I slowly loosen his clothes to check his injuries. The side where Brian had kicked twice was turning a nasty shade and he would have a bruise later on. He winced in pain when I touched it. I was upset with Brian for hitting so hard; even Hyukjae had not done so.
“That’s it. You’ve made me angry.” I stood up and said to Brian. He was surprised by my reaction.
“You should have taken on someone your own size and not bully the weak.” I said more forcefully as I moved onto the mat to fight it out with him. This was a good time; I have been itching for some exercise since my recovery. My body was getting rusty from all the rest.
“Wait, Junsu. No.” Micky cried out, I could tell he was scared for me, forgetting his own injuries and trying to get up but was held down by the others.
“Wow, the show is really starting now.” Said an excited Yunho who quickly moved to sit back and watch the show.
“Sit back and you might learn a few tricks.” Hyukjae said to Micky, while Changmin tends to his injures.
“Aren’t you going to stop them, what if Junsu get hurt?” Micky said, still worried for me. The guys just looked at him and shake their heads, they knew better, knowing that I could take care of myself.
“Don’t worry about Junsu hyung, he can take care of himself, better than you can anyway. Brian hyung won’t hurt him as much.” Changmin said.
“He’s an idiot of a boyfriend, not knowing what his boyfriend is capable of.” Hyukjae said.
I have fought with Brian before during our days as trainees in the academy so I knew what to expect from him. I was doing most of the attacking while Brian defends himself. I kicked him in his left side a few times. He retaliated a few times with his own attacks but he doesn’t seem to be putting much strength into the kicks.
“Good one. Junsu.” Yunho shouted when he saw the move I executed.
I know Micky was surprised by me, he never expected that I was skilled in taekwondo because I was smaller sized and looked more frail than him. Of course if possible, I didn’t want him to know the truth so soon, but Brian really riled me this time. The reason why I didn’t want Micky to know because he would think I was hiding things from him.
The truth was that my parents really did send me and my brother to learn some form of self-defense because of our family background, scared that we would be targets of kidnapping. I found that I was good at it and I liked it so I continued with it. It also comes in very handy when I applied to be an agent with the agency.
I could hear bits and pieces of Micky and Changmin’s conversation about me, but I didn’t really catch everything they were talking about because I was focusing on the figure in front of me. I could hear Hyukjae’s voice chipping into the conversation.
“Why did you think I took up taekwondo?” Eunhyuk commented. “So that I won’t lose out to him though I still get my ass whipped by him, but I’m getting my next dan soon, you’ll just wait.”
“He’s the best among us actually, though you can’t really tell just by looking at us.” Changmin said.
“Why did you think we were scared of him last time?” Eunhyuk asked again. Changmin nodded. I was listening to their conversation this time and I heard what the two said.
“I heard that.” I shouted from where I was, eyes still focused on Brian.
“We were kidding.” Both boys quickly replied.
“You better be, or you will be the next one up against me.” I said, this would put them in their place immediately. Don’t think that just because I was out of service for a while I will be lenient on them.
After saying that, I could turn my full attention back to the fight with Brian. I didn’t want to dally any longer and started my attacks on him again, a kick here, a false move there and he were caught when I quickly aim low for his feet, striking hard at them and he fell. I quickly moved to where he fell and my feet were on his chest making sure he stayed down.
“Wow, Su, good one.” Hyukjae said as he got up to hug me, obviously thrilled that Brian was defeated by me.
“Hyung, good fight, you know we were only teasing just now.” Changmin said, hoping that I would forgive him; quickly passing a towel to me to wipe my perspiration.
“You’re not getting off that lightly.” I told him as I wiped the sweat off my face.
“Junsu, why didn’t you tell me you were skilled in taekwondo too?” Micky asked as he finally got a chance to talk to me with the rest of the guys crowding around me.
“You never asked?” I don’t think it’s something that you go around telling people about anyway. It’s not like it would come up in a normal conversation.” I explained, there were still so many things we don’t know about each other. Sometimes I even wondered were the face he showed to me the real him.
“But still.” Micky whined.
“Micky, you were the one who built up this fantasy in your mind just by looking at me and thinking that I‘m the one who need to be protected by you. Sorry to burst that bubble of yours, but I can take care of myself. I have been doing so before I met you.” I said. There are many things that you can’t tell just by looking at someone on the surface.
“So what else have you kept from me?” He asked. I know he doesn’t like people to keep secrets from him, especially people he loved and trust.
“Micky, what do you want me to say? There are so many thing that you don’t know. Where do I even start?” I answered. Would you forgive me when I tell you the truth?
“So you still have things you are keeping from me?” He asked again.
“Hmph. I play the piano in my spare time?” I said, teasing him, trying to lighten the tense mood. However I do have an advantage over him since I knew more about him than he knows me.
“Junsu!” He pouted.
“What?” I said.
“Micky, are you saying that you have been completely honest with me since we started?” I asked him back. From the look on his face I knew he was caught by the sudden turn in the topic as his face quickly changes. He might even have been thinking about the previous incident, as his face seemed to turn pale all of a sudden. Maybe I shouldn’t tease him so much. I laughed at the horrified look he had on.
“Micky, you should have seen the frightened look on your face.” I said, laughing loudly.
“Don’t worry, it’s ok to keep a few secrets, we still have time to slowly learn about each other, right?” I said, hoping it was true. I gave him a peck on his my lips before moving away to speak to Brian, signaling the end of this topic.
“I’m sorry, does it hurt?” I asked Brian as I saw him holding on to his left side.
“Yes, it hurts like hell but not as much as my heart.” He said, looking at me intensely. I was sorry for not being able to return his feelings.
“I’m sorry. Friends?” I said, stretching out my hand to his, hoping that there were no hard feelings between us.
“Well, I can only settle on friends now since you chose him.” Brian said as he clasped my hand in his.
“He better treat you well or he’s going to get it from me.” He said.
“Don’t worry, you will have to get in line after me and Hyukjae.” I replied.
“Xiah, I hope you will be happy.”
“I will.”
“Looks like I’m the loser here. In this case, I better find someone to look at my injuries, maybe someone who can comfort me in times of my sorrow. I will talk to you later about the case.” Brian said as he left. I looked at his departing figure moving out of the door before going to where Micky was standing.
“So what did the two of you talk about?” Micky asked as soon as I reached him.
“Are you jealous?” I teased; the way his face contorted when he saw me talking to Brian shows how worried he was.
“Yes. Please tell me.” He said honestly, surprising me. I didn’t expect him to be so candid about the way he felt. He must really be worried.
“I told him I’m sorry I can’t return his feelings and he asked me to take care of myself and not be hurt by you. I told him not to worry since if you hurt me I will personally kick your butt.” I said, smiling at him.
“You do know now that I can kick your butt anytime?” I said, waiting for his reaction.
“Yes. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you, I will kicked myself if I do that.” He answered. I was pleased at his answer and my smile got bigger.
“Junsu ah. Want to have a go with me?” Yunho said, obviously excited at the prospect of a match.
“Can I send a representative instead?” I asked, not really looking forward to a fight with him since I just recovered and is not confident that I can win him in my current state.
“Who? If it’s that wimpy boyfriend of yours, then no.” Yunho said, turning to look at Micky when he said that. Was he trying to rile me into a fight? I was not going to fall for that so easily.
“So how about my wimpy boyfriend against your pretty boyfriend?” I said, knowing that he would definitely not agree to let Jaejoong fight.
“No way, he’s coming anyway near Jaejoong. I will kick his ass if he dare touch a strand of Jaejoong’s hair.” He said, obviously worried for Jaejoong. He seems to have forgotten that since I’m the one in charge of the case, I wouldn’t want to see Jaejoong hurt and Micky wouldn’t too.
Laughter came from all of us at what Yunho unwittingly acknowledged. “So hyung, are you admitting that Jaejoong hyung is your boyfriend?” Changmin the cheeky one asked.
“So you want to have a go with me?” Yunho said to Changmin even though he was blushing.
“No thanks, I still want to live.” Changmin said as he hides behind Jaejoong, pushing the boy into Yunho. Yunho caught the boy in his arms and the two of them had a moment, looking into each other’s eyes totally forgetting about the rest of us, until Changmin snorted. The Jaeho couple blushed causing the rest of us to laugh out loud. If only life could remains as simple as it was at that moment.
