The next morning the rain has lighten up as little droplets of rain now touches the city. However it was forecasted to have another heavy rain fall later in the day. Yunho could be seen still sleeping on the couch.

It wasn’t until the loud ringing of his alarm clock coming from his bedroom did he stir in his sleep. He reaches out to the coffee table and tried to turn it off before realizing that he is in the living room rather than his bedroom. He groaned a bit before forcing himself to sit up and then walked over to his bedroom. He turn the alarm clock off and flop himself onto the comfort of his bed. He snuggled to the coolness of his bed that has not been slept on all night. Yunho pulled the blanket over him and made himself comfortable feeling like there is no better feeling then to sleep on such a comfy bed. He was only able to indulge in that feeling for a few seconds before his eyes snapped open. He turns his head toward the alarm clock and realizes he is going to be late for work.

“!” cursed Yunho

He had completely forgotten that he have the morning shift today and an evening class later. Yunho jumped out of bed and rushed toward the bathroom before freshening up and getting ready. He grabbed his bag sitting next to the couch in the Livingroom on the ground and dashed out the door missing the little blue box lying on the ground.

After nearly falling down the stairs, pumping into people, stepping into a deep puddle while half drenched from the continuing rain fall, he finally got to work just shy of being completely late. After changing to his uniform he closed his locker and let out a heavy sigh.

“You look horrible?” one of his coworker commented

“My morning started horrible” he said as he turns to her.

It wasn’t until he notice her surprise look did he remembered what happen last night. His eyes must have still been red for her to look at him with worry. He lowers his gaze to hide his eyes

“Are you…okay Yunho?” she asked

“Y-yea…I’m fine…just…stayed up too much studying…” he chuckle nervously while not meeting her gaze.

She was going to ask another question when the manager came into the room. The girl and the manager left to perform a task as Yunho is left alone in the room. He let out a sigh before opening his locker once more to look at a little mirror that hangs on the inside of the door. He leans forward and notice the bright redness is still there. It has yet to disappear and return to normal. It’s not like it’s causing him any discomfort nor is it burning, he just doesn’t want to startle customers with the way his eyes have become. After speaking to his managers, Yunho was given permission to wear his sunglasses for his shift today. He took over the cashier while his coworker cleans the glass windows. With the rain fall, there wasn’t much customers coming in as Yunho found himself stocking and only going to the cash register when a customer do come.

“The sky is getting dark again...” his coworker spoke

Yunho lifted his gaze to look at the clouds above that has slowly getting darken. He couldn’t help but wonder if Jaejoong was able to make it to class today. He hopes Jaejoong was able to stay dry and not get wet with all the puddles outside and the little light shower. He had wanted to get up earlier to pick up jaejoong and take him to class but he over slept and didn’t have the time to do so. Just then he felt his phone vibrated from his back pocket. He took it out and notices a return text message from jaejoong. It has already been an hour since Yunho sent a text to jaejoong asking rather he made it to campus or not. After reading the text message, his lip curved into a joyful smile.

**Stop worrying about me…I was able to get to class fine…and yes I brought a umbrella…my ankle has already started to heal so I can walk a bit better now without the crutches…I’ll be in class so don’t be texting me and expecting me to respond right away…Just have fun at work and take care of yourself first before worrying about others..***

“You look happy…was it a text message from your girlfriend?” his coworker asked with a grin

“No…just a friend…”

Her grin got even wider “a friend huh? I guess you haven’t confessed yet…if you are scare or don’t know the right approach…let me know…I can give you some pointer”

“No thanks…I don’t plan to confess…”

“eh? Why? Does she already have a boyfriend?”

Yunho shook his head with a hint of sadness “no…to my friend…I’m probably just a close friend...nothing more…nothing less…I don’t want to confess and lose this friendship that we have…just being able to be there to help…to support…to encourage…and stand at my friend’s side is more than enough…”

His coworker only sighs before patting him on the back “Cheer up…if you like…I can introduce you to a few of my girlfriends…”

“As wonderful as that sound…I will have to decline…”

“eehhh…why? to be honest a few of my friends is already asking about you?”

“I’m sure they are lovely women however…this heart has yet to let go…I don’t want to try and love someone else when in truth I’m still in love with my friend…it will not be fair for them…”

“You are too sweet Yunho…this friend of yours will be the biggest idiot if she doesn’t hold onto you tightly…” his coworker smiled

Meanwhile Jaejoong had just gotten done with his second class as he wondered what to eat for lunch. He still has a gap of 2 hours before his late class. He slightly turn his gaze up to look at the darken sky above as light rain drops touched his skin. Compare to others, he disliked the rain very much for it reminds him of that day.

“Jaejoong oppa?” came a female voice

Jaejoong turn his gaze from the sky to his right and to his surprise the little sister of Geun suk stood there smiling back at him with a few other female students. It has been over a year since she last saw her. Compare to before she have grown into a beautiful woman. After confirming that it really was jaejoong, she excused herself from them and went up to jaejoong

“I can’t believe it’s really you? But then again there isn’t a guy with blonde hair as soft and beautiful as yours”

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m here on a school trip…I will be graduating high school soon so I have to start thinking about my college choices….but it was a surprise to see you here? Are you also going to this college?” she asked noticing the backpack and book in jaejoong’s hand

“Yea…”

“eehhh…this is a surprise…the jaejoong I remember wouldn’t be caught dead studying…you do nothing but complain about school and how much you just wanted to quit…”

Jaejoong only smiled at her “Well…back then the plan was to become a singer and make lots of money….but not everything goes as planned….”

The woman stopped smiling as she sensed a hint of sadness in his tone of voice “do you have some free time right now to catch up?”

“Don’t you have to go back to your group? It’s not good for you to wonder off on your own”

“Don’t worry…right now is free time to truly explore the campus…I still have about an hr before we are supposed to gather up to leave…”

“Well…I was thinking of grabbing lunch…do you want to join me?”

Her face lights up “sure…”

They stop at the school cafeteria to grab something to eat. Luckily at this time it isn’t as busy or packed with plenty of table to choose from.

"what happen to your leg?" She asked after noticing him limping a bit on the way here

"It's nothing serious...just a little sprain..."

“I see...will it's good to know you haven't one bit…still as beautiful as ever…you should give me your tricks of staying young” she grinned

“If there was a trick…I would have told you the first time you asked me…”

She chuckled “that’s true…I forgot you were born to make people jealous rather they are man or woman…”

“Beauty does come with a price though…” smirk jaejoong

“And that is?”

“Troublesome popularity…attracts unwanted attention…”

“You make it sound like it’s horrible…”

“Oh...you don’t know the half of it…being d by a man on a busy train or bus is no joke…being hit on…being mistaken for a woman…every time that happens I feel like I have become less of man…”

Once again she chuckled before smiling softly “You…have return to your old self…that’s good…I was worrying that you are still hold up in that little shell of yours…during my brother’s funeral you looked very dead as if most of you have also left with him…I was very worried about you…even when I tried calling you wouldn’t pick up the phone…no matter who I asked they say the same thing about not being able to reach you…not even Junsu….”

“Sorry…I didn’t mean to make you worried…”

“back then my brother and you were always together…the first night he brought you over for dinner I though he had finally brought home a girlfriend….but as it turns out you were a boy...” she chuckled remembering that particular day “but…you were the first person my brother had ever brought home…all he was interested in was music…it got to a point where I was starting to wonder if he will ever have any friends…so I was glad to see you…even the friendship between you two were strong that I wanted a part of it…”

“That’s why you kept following us everywhere…although seeing you fight with your brother for my attention was pretty entertaining…” grin jaejoong as she blushed from embarrassment

“Every day…I wonder…what have become of jaejoong…the oppa who’s voice I will never forget…to be able to see you today and see you smile make me really happy…it’s like a dark cloud that hangs over me has disappear knowing you are doing okay…”

An image of Yunho flashed before jaejoong’s eyes as he returns a gentle smile “I guess what they say is true…”

“what?”

“When a person leaves you in a mess…another will come to help you out of it…”

“eehhhh! Does that mean you meet someone who help pull you?” she asked fully interested in who this person could be.

Jaejoong nodded his head “a new found friend who will be irreplaceable…”

She took one look at jaejoong’s face and she was taken back a little by the soft and yet loving expression he is making. It’s been a while since she last seen him make such an expression, the last time was probably with her brother.

Jaejoong’s smile faded as he twirled the straw in his cup of ice tea “I’m sorry Hana…”

This took her by surprise unsure why the oppa she has grown to love will be apologizing out of the blue.

“I should have been there at his memorial service a few weeks ago…”

“You don’t need to apologize for something like that…you have something more important to tend to remember…I was just amazed that my call finally got through…”

Jaejoong recalled the heart felt performance he gave that night

“Did you sing your heart out…let my stupid brother know about what you are feeling?”

“Yea I did…loud and clear…”

“Did you also include a few cursed words in there as well? He deserved to be bashed for leaving in such a manner…especially after starting that argument with you…”

The smile on jaejoong’s face disappear as his mind wondered to the past, the night he got into a heated fight with Geun suk.

***Flash back**


“What…did you just say?” a shock Jaejoong asked Geun suk

Geun suk who is seen sitting on a stool with his guitar in hand didn’t even lift his gaze to meet jaejoong as he kept it on the floor

“I said you should sign the contract…”

“What do you mean? I thought…you were against me signing the contract with Yoochun? So why all of a sudden you are telling me to sign it?”

Geun suk sigh “When Yoochun first offered you the contract I had wanted you to sign it….but I didn’t like the way Yoochun was being persistent and being forceful. I didn’t want you to sign it against your will…if you were to sign a contract…I wanted you to sign it by your own will….”

“And telling me to sign it even though I told you I don’t want to isn’t against my will?”

Geun suk was quiet for a bit before speaking “I think its best you sign the contract…put yourself out there and sing for the world to hear…if it’s you I know you will make it to the top…you will be able to become a hallyu star…”

The anger in jaejoong was starting to rise as he clinched his fist tightly “I have told you before didn’t I…that I won’t sign the contract…if I am to become famous…I want to do it with you, Junsu and the others…I will not walk this path to fame alone…”

Geun Suk sigh with a hint of irritation “You just don’t get it jaejoong ah! This is a once in a life time opportunity…this isn’t just a small company we are taking about…this is SM…the top entertainment company…you are being offer a contract that you can modify to your liking…this isn’t something that most stars are given the opportunity to do…”

“The one who doesn’t understand is you…!” Jaejoong snapped “I have already made it clear that I don’t want to separate from the group! Why are you suddenly trying to push me away!”

“I’m not pushing you away…I want you to fulfill your dreams…I don’t want you to be tied down by me…by us…that’s all” Geun suk stood up and walk pass jaejoong who wasn’t going to just let it go. He reached out and grab onto Geun suk’s arm tightly

“Tied down? Why are you making it sound like I am being burdened by you guys!! We are a band Geun suk…I was able to get this far because of everyone…because of you…I will not walk on a stage surrounded by thousands of people without you guys having my back!!”

Geun suk let out a frustrated sound “why are you being so stubborn!”

“The stubborn one is you!! Why can’t you understand my reason?”

“Why can’t you understand my reason!!” Geun suk shouted before yanking his arm out of Jaejoong’s grasp “out of all of us you jaejoong…you were the one offered a contract…you were the one chosen to be part of SM…we all tried our hardest…we all did our best…and yet at the end only you were chosen….!!”

Jaejoong look at Geun suk in disbelief “I see it now…you…are jealous…you are jealous of me…”

“I am jealous of your talent!!…I’m jealous of the energy…the power you are able to pull from inside you…but most importantly…I’m jealous of the person who will be standing next to you from this point onward…! It’s upsetting to know that I won’t be given a place at your side!”

“If so…then why don’t you keep me at your side?! Why don’t you hold on to me tightly so no one else will be able to take me away?!…why are you telling me to go alone?!”

“Because…this is only as far we are we meant to go together…from this point onward….someone else will take my place…will guide you to your dream….! You should just quickly forget about me…forget about the others…just go to where you are meant to go!! Someone like you…someone as gifted as you don’t belong here with us!! Our talent and your talent are not equal to one another!! You deserve better…you deserve a bigger stage…!! This is no longer a place you should stay!”

Jaejoong punched Geun suk on the face causing him to stumble over crashing into the speakers behind him.

“You are an idiot Geun suk!! A big fat idiot!!!”

***end of flash back****

“My brother told me about your argument…” spoke Hana as jaejoong remained quiet “I told him the one at fault was him…I told him that he should try to understand your reason…respect your wishes…but he felt like he was holding you back jaejoong shhi…he felt like the reason you aren’t taking a step forward is because of him…”

“I know…if…I had also stopped to understand his reason…then maybe he might still be here…” Jaejoong drink from his cup of ice tea “it was a mistake made by me and him…we created an outcome that was not avoidable that resulted in his death….”

“Do you…still wish that it was you instead of him?”

Jaejoong paused a bit before answering “a part of me do still wish that it should have been me…even though I have the talent…Geun suk have the personality that brings smiles to everyone he meet…compare to me…he had more to offer to the living…he have a brighter future….but now…now I think that since it wasn’t me that god took…I’ll live my life for his sake as well…fulfill the dreams we talk about…do the things we wanted to do together….”

Hana smiled gently “I will love to meet this new friend of yours? Possibly thank him for changing your mind…”

“he made me realize that life is short…we are only gifted with one life…why waste it…rather than wasting every minute of our time dwelling in the past...live every minute like it’s your last….he came into my life unexpectedly…I wasn’t ready to accept a new friend…I didn’t feel like I deserve to be happy after Geun suk passed…but he walked into my line of vision…stepped into this shell that I have created…before I knew it…I was already standing outside with him at my side….”

“What kind of person is he?”

“He is slow…clumsy…worries about everything….care more about others then himself…he could be stupid at times and gullible….he is someone who is easy to take advantage of…” jaejoong paused before continuing “but…he is kind…gentle…very caring…he doesn’t hold grudges nor does he hold onto hate….he believe in forgiving and forget….he is unique in his own way…someone you can rely on for help…there is an air around him that makes you comfortable…put you at ease…when he talks to you, his voice sooth you…it makes you forget your anger…your sadness…when he give you advice or encouragement it makes you feel like what he said will be true and that everything will be okay…”

Hana look at Jaejoong as he spoke of Yunho and couldn’t help but smiled “you talked as if he is more than a friend”

Jaejoong blushed a bit before denying it “Yunho is a friend of mine…he care about me the same way as he care about others…he isn’t like me Hana…he is straight…”

“Are you sure? I have seen straight man turn gay”

“I’m sure…there is already someone else he loves…”

Hana’s lip curved into a large ‘O’ but felt a bit disappointed

“By the way…I heard that you guys made the decision to donate Geun suk’s organs…” jaejoong asked

“it was a tough decision but Geun suk had said it before…If one day god were to come and take him early to give what god has given him to those in need in hope that their life can be spare…”

“That is so like Geun suk…”

“His heart was given to a little girl…his liver saved a young man from dying and leaving behind his family….and his corneas…it has helped another young man to see…at the end Geun suk was able to help 3 more people…”

Jaejoong didn’t know why but the minute Hana mention Cornea he felt uneasy as an image of Yunho flashed before his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Hana asked after noticing the trouble look upon his face.

Jaejoong only smiled “it’s nothing…nothing at all…”

They continue their conversation over lunch before partying way. Jaejoong waved goodbye to Hana as he stood in the middle of the sidewalk with a smile on his face.

“neh jaejoong oppa…” she spoke from afar

“What is it?”

“My brother was an idiot for not making you his…he will regret it forever…as for you…you should find someone else to love and be happy…” she smiled before waving and walked away

He recalled the conversation he had with Hana and felted like maybe he had said more then what he wanted to say. It’s been a while since he last engages in a long conversation with someone else. He couldn’t stop thinking about what Hand had said about donating Geun suk’s body parts. Even now he still gets this uneasy feeling making his heart feel uncomfortable at the thought of Yunho possibly be the receiver of Geun suk’s cornea.

“No…that’s impossible…it’s only a coincidence….”is what he tells himself however when he really thinks about it, whenever he looks Yunho in the eyes he gets this feeling like he have looked into those brown eyes before.

Yoochun just got done with his meeting as he sat in his car while his secretary is driving back home. He undo his tie mumbling a few cursed words for the meeting today wasn’t pleasant having to face all those board members long with his brother who seems to be doing better than him. Maybe his father is right, maybe he should let go of jaejoong and try to pursue someone else to prove his worth to the company. His brother is producing high ranking stars left and right and yet he doesn’t even have as much as one star to his name. He digs his fingers into his locks of hair in frustration.

“I guess the meeting didn’t go well” the secretary spoke after seeing the irritated expression on Yoochun’s face from the rear view mirror.

“Didn’t go well? It went as they planned it…those old goons only knows how to talk but couldn’t barely walk the walk…everything that comes out of their mouth benefit their personal gain…”

“And your father?”

Yoochun was quiet before he spoke “he is still saying the same thing over and over again…telling to stop being stubborn…to stop be childish trying to cling onto his favorite toy…he tells me I need to let go and take this matter more seriously….the point here is that I am serious…you can produce a thousand stars but none will be able to sing like jaejoong…I know it in my heart that he is the one…the person this company need to grow further to become the best of the best…my old man just couldn’t understand that we need him…”

The secretary was quiet unsure of what to say. It’s like a part of him agree with Yoochun’s father but a part of him also agree with Yoochun considering that he have heard jaejoong sing. He has been with this company for a long time…has heard many singer sings…and yet none is like jaejoong. It was like he is born with everything the world need in a celebrity.

Yoochun happens to turn his gaze to his right and notice Yunho exiting a convenient store. The information he was reading about Yunho’s background flashed before his eyes. He immediately told his secretary to stop the car before he exited. The secretary also exited the car unsure why Yoochun suddenly asked him to stop. It wasn’t until he spotted Yunho not too far ahead did he realize where this could be going. He closed the door and quickly followed Yoochun. Yunho had only walked a block before hearing someone call his name from behind. He turns around and saw Yoochun quickly approaching him. The look on his face however was not of a welcoming gaze but a gaze of anger.

“y-yoochun?”

Before Yunho could do anything Yoochun had already grabbed him by the collar of his shirt slamming him against the wall causing him the groan in pain. The sunglass he was wearing came off as Yoochun notice the redness of his eyes. However this didn’t stop from

“What are you planning? what is your motive for approaching jaejoong?!"Yoochun asked

Yunho on the other hand wasn’t sure what he did to cause Yoochun to be so angry “I’m not sure what you mean? there is no motive...”

“Do you think it’s funny? Well it isn’t funny…it’s cruel…it’s sick…” said Yoochun “Don’t think that I will just stand aside and allow you to do as you please! If you get close to jaejoong again…I will kill you! if you hurt him…if you as much as look at him with those eyes…I will make you regret it”

The secretary try to stop Yoochun but he only got pushed away. Yunho on the other hand wasn’t sure what is going on nor could he understand why Yoochun will ask of him to stay away from jaejoong. Usually he is very calm in situation like this however to see Yoochun look at him with anger and telling him to stay away from jaejoong ignited something inside him. He wasn’t going to listen as this person tells him what to do…telling him to stay away from jaejoong. Yunho forcefully yanked Yoochun’s hand away from him out of anger

“Now I understand why changmin hates you…why jaejoong will never forgave you…why should I listen to you who is being hated by the very same person who you wanted me to stay away from” Yunho glared “the one who should stay away from jaejoong isn’t me but you considering what you have done in the past”

This only made Yoochun angry as he took a step forward but his secretary grabbed him preventing him from attacking Yunho

“yes…I have done unpleasant things in the past…however what I have done is nothing compare to you…what you are doing is wrong…what you are doing will cause him more pain especially when he is trying to let go”

“Okay what exactly are you talking about? What am I doing that is so wrong that it is worst then what you have done?”

At this point they were drawing attention from passerby that even Yunho’s coworker noticed the tension from a block away as she is peeking outside notifying her manager of what is going on.

“Those eyes…” Yoochun spoke “those eyes…should not look at him…to approach him…to befriend him while knowing very well who those eyes belong to is cruel…it’s sick…”

“What? What about my eyes? What is so sick about it? Do you have something against corneal transplant?”

“Don’t play dumb with me Yunho…you know very well who those corneas belong to…”

Yunho was starting to suspect that somehow Yoochun knows who these corneas belong to when he himself doesn’t even know. For him to act up like this meant that whoever these corneas belong to was someone Yoochun knows.

“Who?...whose cornea did I inherited from?!” Yunho found himself asking

Yoochun only let out a chuckle “are you really asking me this question? Are you trying to play dumb? Do you want me to say it out loud?”

“yes…tell me?!”

Yoochun took one look at Yunho as his lip started to move “those corneas…they were G…”

“YOOOCHUN!!” Junsu’s voice ring through the air loudly stopping him

Both Yoochun and Yunho turn to their left and see Junsu standing there with a horrify expression. Without another word, Junsu walked over to them and grab onto Yoochun before dragging him away. Junsu didn’t as much as look at Yunho as they disappear through the crowd that has gathered.

Junsu pulled Yoochun down the street and into an alleyway before coming to a stop. Yoochun didn’t get any warning before a blow hit his cheek sending him back a few steps.

“This entire time I thought you have changed but you are still the same jerk!” snap Junsu “what you were about to do will not only cause Jaejoong pain but also Yunho…”

“How am I the jerk? I was trying to help jaejoong by telling that baster to stay away…”

Junsu sigh “Yoochun…you did a background check on Yunho didn’t you? That’s how you know correct?”

Yoochun didn’t look at Junsu as he kept his gaze to the ground

“You still haven’t fixed that horrible habit of yours to do background check on people…just so you know Yunho doesn’t have the slightest clue as to what you are talking about”

“Don’t lie to me”

Junsu glared at Yoochun as he bites his tongue “Yunho doesn’t know…”

Yoochun want to doubt it but the look on Junsu’s face was believable “you mean…he really doesn’t know?”

Junsu shook his head “he doesn’t know…”

“But you know?”

“Because changmin told me…”

“Wait…you know…changmin know…I know and yet the guy himself doesn’t know…does jaejoong know?”

“Jaejoong doesn’t know either…both jaejoong and Yunho doesn’t know…only we do”

“How?”

“We kind of piece together some clues but we didn’t tell them…”

“Why not?! This isn’t right”

Junsu only grinned “how would a guy who doesn’t know from right and wrong know what we doing is wrong…”

Yoochun didn’t say anything as Junsu continues “If they were to know the truth…it will only hurt them…hurt the friendship they have…you may not believe it Yoochun but they need each other…”

“Screw this! We need to tell them the truth”

Yoochun made an attempt to go back to Yunho and tell him the truth but Junsu blocked his way

“I have never begged you for anything Yoochun…so I am begging you right now to please hold off on the truth…don’t tell them just yet…”

“And what are you waiting for?”

Junsu was hesitant unsure if he should tell Yoochun the truth but if he doesn’t tell him, Junsu won’t be able to stop him from telling Yunho. He sighs before telling him everything including the images that Yunho has been seeing.

“Are you lying to me?” Yoochun asked in disbelieve

“I’m not lying…it’s the truth…I’m not sure why it’s happening or how it happening…all I know is that it is happening and right now Yunho is the only one who holds the key to identifying the driver who struck Geun suk and left him for dead…if Yunho knows the truth…he will want to replace those corneas and the only clue we have will be gone forever…”

Yoochun look at junsu and could tell he wasn’t lying but it’s hard to accept something like this. No matter how he thinks of it, this will only lead to a painful ending if it doesn’t stop now.

“Junsu…I don’t know about this…”

“I know…I’m not sure about it either…but right now Yunho is our only hope…”

“You don’t get it” spoke Yoochun “the person who will mostly be hurt will not be Jaejoong…it will be Yunho…”

“What do you mean?”

Yoochun sigh a she recalled that information that his sectary has gathered. Everything in there was disturbing and a complicated past.

“Yunho was not born blinded…he was born a normal kid…however in high school he lost his vision…”

“He must have damage it somehow” spoke Junsu

Yoochun shook his head “he didn’t damage it nor did it get infected…Junsu…it was his own mother who poured chemical fluid into his eyes while he slept…”

Yunho return home with his mood completely ruin. He was expecting to head to school, meet up with jaejoong and enjoy the rest of his day however from morning till now, everything has gone wrong. He wasn’t sure why Yoochun was so angry with him when he barely spoke to Yoochun. In fact, now that he thinks about it, he barely sees Yoochun. Just what exactly were Yoochun accusing of him doing that will hurt jaejoong. He recalls the argument earlier and it really bothers him. If junsu haven’t intervene then maybe he might finally have a name to his donor to the image of this man he sees reflected in the mirror of the images he have been seeing. The only clue he got was that the name started with letter ‘G’. The more he thinks about it the more frustrating it becomes. He tossed his backpack on the floor of his apartment however it ends up hitting the coffee table spilling the cup of water that was sitting there. He cursed before heading to the kitchen and grabbed some paper towels. Yunho picks up the cup and started to wipe the water from the wooded floor. At this moment he notices the little blue box lying on the floor with the top facing away from him. He reached for the little box and picks it up

Jaejoong sat in the classroom and watched as the room started to be filled with students however Yunho was nowhere to be seen. He looked at his watch and notice that class will be starting in less than 5 minutes. He texted Yunho but haven’t received any response. Even when class started Yunho didn’t show up making Jaejoong worried. Sitting inside Yunho’s backpack is his cellphone that is still vibrating when a text message is received however it was still in silent making it impossible for him to hear.

As Yunho pick up the box, he noticed something inside like a folded up picture. The first thing he noticed was Junsu’s face in the picture. He could feel his heart beating really fast as he took out the picture and held it in his hand. As Yunho unfold one of the corners he remembered what changmin had said to him before.

“Whatever decision you make…is now up to you…I won’t interfere anymore then this…but be prepare if you wish to open that box”

Upon remembering this he paused as he wondered rather he should be looking at this picture or just sticks it back in the box and close it up for good. A part of him wanted to look away and ignore it while another part of him wants to see it.

“You…really don’t want to see what is inside? What if it’s the answer to all your questions?”

To be honest there are a lot of questions swirling inside Yunho’s head that he want to know the answer to. If this picture will provide him the answers, then it wouldn’t be wrong to just take a little peek. With that thought in mind Yunho started to unfold the rest of the picture. It went from Junsu’s face to seeing changmin and then a few other people. After unfolding the picture completely he spotted the blonde hair and notice it’s none other than jaejoong smiling with such a bright and wide smile. He notice a hand circled around jaejoong as Yunho shifted his gaze from the arm to the shoulder and then to the person who is holding onto jaejoong.

Just then thunder roared loudly outside startling Yunho as he quickly turn his gaze outside and notice the rain fall has gotten heavier that even thunder has return. He turns his gaze back to the picture but when he looks at it his vision started to blur. There weren’t any pain but he couldn’t see the picture clearly. It was strange considering that he was able to see it earlier. Yunho wipes his eyes to see if that will clear his vision but it didn’t. The thunder roared once more shaking even the window to Yunho’s apartment. Suddenly the vision became worst as the burning sensation started once again. Yunho could feel his eyes burning as he dropped the picture and covered his eyes. It was as painful as before sending a shock wave of pain from his eyes to his head. When he opens his eyes images flashed before them. It started with him walking in a room and seeing the beautiful blonde man sleeping on the couch. Jaejoong’s face ends up right in front of him as if this person was leaning down toward him. Jaejoong’s face got closer and closer and everything went black for a brief seconds before he could see Jaejoong’s face again. Upon these images Yunho felt his chest tighten. The next thing he is looking at is the reflection of the neck length hair man from the mirror with jaejoong still sleeping on the couch inches from him.

Yunho managed to stand up and stumbled his way toward the bathroom and turn on the cold water as he splashed it onto his face hoping it will stop the painful burning sensation in his eyes. Another set of images flashed again. It was the same images he saw the other night. However the images changed slightly. From the look of it, he was crossing the street before seeing two pair of bright lights coming his way. The image of him staring into the sky, the vision of red return as the same dark figure looms over him.

“Yunho? Are you here?” Came Jaejoong’s voice

He had tried reaching Yunho but after getting no response jaejoong has grown very concern. The first time he didn’t act upon his instinct, this time he was not going to repeat the same mistake as he left in the middle of class. What is even more surprising is the fact that the front door isn’t even locked as jaejoong entered the apartment.

“Yunho are you here?”

Like before Yunho wasn’t able to see the dark figure but he was able to get a glimpse of a silver necklace with a red diamond glimmering from the car headlights before the pain subsided.

The burning sensation stopped as everything return to normal.

Jaejoong enter the living room and look around before noticing the spilled water on the floor. Base on Yunho’s backpack he must still be home. Jaejoong heard noised from the bathroom as he was about to head there but the little blue box caught his attention. He can’t help but felt like he had seen the box before but couldn’t remember where. Jaejoong walked up to the box and pick it up, the more he stare at it the more familiar it become. At this moment he notices the picture on the ground. He leans down and picks it up as his eyes widen in shock. It was the last group picture they took just a few days before Geun Suk was killed. But now the question is...how did Yunho get this picture?

Chapter 22: The story was really nice its just that the last chapter was really short and the flow was really so fast.

Can we have a special chapter on what happen after jaejoong saved yunho, like what really happen while getting the tape, like how yoochun manage to convince jaejoong to become a singer, like whats going on between junsu & yoochun, how jaejoong parents ended up in letting jaejoong go, something like that. Pleaseeee.

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Chapter 22: I.LOVE.IT! THE BEST BITTERSWEET LOVE STORY!! just like yunho, i was afraid that jaejoong would take yunho as geunsuk replacement, but thank god no.. i agree with yunho.. even if it's hurt, even if it's killing his own heart, jaejoong deserve to know the truth and so he could let him go.. could place his first love to rest and instead of being trap in the past, he would treasure geunsuk and all those old memories.. now he only needs to continue his second chance love life with yunho, to make many great new memories with the person who right beside him.. i smiled when jaejoong make it clear that he's moved on.. NOW it's YUNHO who is right in front of him, NOW it's YUNHO in JAEJOONG'S EYES AND HEART.. though yes, yunho must be a VERY PATIENT person, selfless, always be positive.. but that makes him strong, strong for the both them.. but also give jae some credit for he's able to kill those doubt in yunho's heart.. in other words, they complete each other..

i love changmin's character here, he's one of a kind besties.. and there's time i thought that changmin probably have feelings for yunho but no.. he only cares for his besties so much since he's with him for almost whole his life.. and sometimes for the great bitter moment for yunho, till it's like i was the one in yunho's shoes, maybe it's probably better for yunho be with changmin, but somehow i would see that it won't work.. i imagine that changmin will go overprotective (and maybe put yunho in the dark as long as yunho won't get hurt) he's worried about yunho every time yunho's act selfless over and over again, changmin might succed for protecting yunho from hurt, but it won't help yunho to fight his own weakness.. though i didn't say that it's wrong for yunho being yunho nor me being an ungrateful being for not see all changmin's care.. no, far from it.. but yunho needs something more than that.. he needs the one who could stare right in his eyes and ask him what exactly does he want, and tell yunho to fight for it.. be strong together.. and one thing i always believe in relationship where.. no matter what always say the truth even it's hurt and ugly, for they remain stay with us even after the truth revealed, the stronger and truer the relationship can be.. i believe that true love is what everyone's dream to find right? even the greatest love stand together with the "true" XD..

i might miss something and wrong about things i've said, so i'll apologize for that.. but i love to see from every viewpoint and in the end i would talk endlessly (sorry >/\<)

great story! love it <3<3<3<3<3, sequel? or maybe shots? XD
