Foreword
Jinki looks up from contemplating his nails. He looks at his two closest friends and then looks at the window of the class that Minjung is attending. He knows her class schedule better than his own. “Did it cross your mind that may be she is my first crush? Crush is too mild a word for what I feel. She is my first love. And I think, my only love. I know she is shy, why else would I ask you to befriend her Gwiboon, and share our lunch table and our school and after-school life? I have been trying to woo her the only way I know. Everything I did was to become her knight in shining armor.” Jonghyun nods his head, getting a better understanding of his friend’s convoluted thinking.
Yunho asks, “What new mischief is percolating in your brain today?”
Jinki looks at the school window again and asks in a bored voice, “Can you send your secretary with a few bottles of ? I have a sudden hankering to add it to the cafeteria food today.” His father laughs.
Gwiboon gasps, “Jingles, no! Don’t do it. You will regret it all your life.”

Jaejoong quietly probes, “Jinki, what are you thinking out here, all alone?” He moves his arm to make the younger man lean into his shoulder.
Jinki unconsciously moves into the warmth offered by Jaejoong and his cheek rests on the older man’s shoulder. He stops puffing on his cigarette and lets it fall into the little pile near his feet. When Jaejoong waits patiently for an answer, Jinki remains silent for few long minutes before sighing into the chilled pre-dawn air, “Japan.”

“Please Minnie, have pity on your poor father. Please go to the hospital this time,” Yunho wraps his right arm around his heavily pregnant daughter-in-law who continues to empty out the bag and put the items back in the dresser. Jinki wordlessly takes them out again and arranges them neatly in the same bag. Jaejoong paces around the room pulling his own hair in frustration. Changmin plays with Junsu on the bed, uncaring of the drama around them.
Minjung shakes her head firmly in denial, “No, Papa Yun. I don’t want to waste Jinki’s training. He makes a good midwife.”
