Chapter 56

Dragon bride

In the silence of the cave, Yunho was taken aback by such a radiant smile, even the paleness of jaejoong’s skin did not ruin the beauty of those eyes, the beauty of the smile and the beauty of the soul. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from the man who laid beneath him…who has given him permission to embrace him. Yunho knows that this man is a bride he had chosen but as a man himself, how could he had allow another man to touch his body in such an intimate way, a way meant for a man and woman. Could it be that maybe he and jaejoong had already passed this phase? A phase that he couldn’t remember but a phase that his body yearn to touch.

“What are you waiting for? Change your mind?” Jaejoong asked with a smile

Without any more hesitation, Yunho leans over once more as their lips once again locked. They strip away all the clothing that was in the way as they laid skin to skin. Feeling the coolness of Yunho’s body pressed down upon his own, Jaejoong shivered with both excitement and pleasure. Yunho continues to kiss him from the lips to the curve of his neck and down to his chest leaving behind little pink marks. With every touch, he made jaejoong’s body burn, every spot he touches turns unbearably hot. The longing for more grows, as Yunho was losing even more self-control. Unlike the first two time that their body connected, this time it was more forceful, more aggressive and full of eagerness. There were no gentle touches, no slow movement to let his body get use to the pleasure and surely there was no care. It was a full on temptation that needed to quickly be satisfied as a hard and thick rod forced through the entrance causing jaejoong to force his head back and held back the pain. Even though this is the same person, this is the same one who had held him twice, jaejoong couldn’t help but felt his heart become heavy. Even if this is Yunho, it was not the same Yunho he knows, to be in this kind of position made him feel like this is wrong. He didn’t even have time to think things through, for his body to fully accept the hot and hard rod that was forced into his body before Yunho started to move. He closed his eyes not wanting to see…not wanting to think…pretending as if this was just a dream. But he couldn’t stop his body from feeling the pleasure…from burning with every hard …from wanting more. He tried to hold back the moans but it was impossible especially when the hit his sensitive spot continuously.

“Yunho…slow…slow down” Jaejoong moaned

Yunho of course didn’t say anything but continue to do as he please showing no mercy for this body that laid under him. He didn’t care, all he could think about is wanting to devour this person. The itch that he has been feeling were only getting stronger and only the hard into his slender body can help scratch that itch. The faster he move, the deeper he goes, the more comfortable he will become as if the itch will finally disappear. Even though it was painful, jaejoong didn’t stop him nor did he struggle. He laid there allowing Yunho to do as he please. The meat rod that entered his body only became hotter, became more desperate to go deeper. Jaejoong could only gasp for air, moan in both pain and ecstasy unable to stop this man, unable to push him away. Yunho’s movements was hard for jaejoong to keep up with and it was hard for his body that has just recovered to endure. There was pain mixed in with pleasure as the movements became even more aggressive. Giving in to the pleasure, Jaejoong wraps his arm around Yunho’s neck and pulls him down to initiated a deep passionate kiss. Their body entangled with one another for what felted like a long time until releases have been made on both side. Jaejoong felt out of energy as his body once again turn numb filled with exhaustion as it throbs. Even though they had done it twice before, this was the first time he had done it with Yunho with his mind clear. The first two times he could barely remember but this time, he for sure will remember how their body connected, how it felt to have something into his body, the sweet kisses, the heat and the ecstasy. He laid there on the ground panting, trying to catch his breath and calm the surging heat inside of him. Just then he felt his body being lifted from the ground as he sat on Yunho’s lap, leg spread out on both side as Yunho’s body is tuck in between. Two strong arms wraps around his waist pulling him into a tight hug. The body that was filled with so much desires, that was trying to devour him is now trembling with his face buried into jaejoong’s chest.

“Why…why would you let me go this far?!” Yunho asked

Jaejoong lifted his gaze toward the ceiling “why indeed…why should I have to bare all the pain for your sake…why do I have to go through this just because you couldn’t endure the darkness inside you…of all people…why did it have to be me…”

Yunho didn’t say anything as jaejoong continued “I have wondered this often…but I only come to the same answer….if it’s not me…would there be anyone better who can argue with you?…who can fight with you…who can trust in you…who can stand at your side…is there anyone better who can love you better than I do…”

Yunho froze upon the word ‘love’ before lifting his gaze to meet Jaejoong’s eyes. Upon their eyes meeting, jaejoong felt like he have finally seen a glimpse of the Yunho he knows. The overwhelming feeling of looking into those warm eyes again was indescribable. He could see how red Yunho’ s eyes has become and couldn’t help but curve his lip into a gentle smile “you are a dragon…possibly over a hundred year old…a living legend of magnificent beast…so why are you shedding tears like a child...”

Yunho touched his eyes and didn’t even realize that he was crying. It has been so long since he last shed tears, in fact maybe the last time he cried was when his mother was killed. Since then, nothing have been able to touch him so deeply that will move him into tears. Even when his father died, he didn’t shed a single tear. And yet here he is, crying…being overwhelmed with so much remorse, so much grief and guilt.

“Yunho ah…” said Jaejoong “taking away the darkness inside you might be an impossible task…All I can do is stay at your side and be the annoying fly that just won’t leave you alone…I will constantly buzz around you...annoyed you to the point where you will shift all your attention to me and not at the world…every time you plan to destroy something, I can just poke myself to teach you a lesson….rather you will return to who you once were or not…I am not going to leave your side…I’ll stick around and accept everything…even if you had forgotten who I am…it doesn’t mean that it’s the end…We will just create new memories…forget the past deeds…and move forward with new ones…even if you refuse to let me be with you…I will chase you to the end of the world…but I warn you, don’t ever let that stand at your side again…otherwise you will regret it”

Yunho didn’t respond as silence filled the air. He only looked at this beautiful man who sat on his lap with a beautiful smile and couldn’t think of anything to say. It wasn’t until there was a loud roar coming from outside shaking the very ground they sat on did Jaejoong felt like something was wrong. He put on the long jacket once more, tying the belt around his waist as he made his way to the entrance of the cave. Once there, his eyes widen in complete disbelief, there was a dragon flying about in the sky as the aurora light reflected on its green dragon scales. He couldn’t believe what he is seeing, is this some kind of dream? Another loud roar echoed in the night confirming that this isn’t a dream but this actually real.

“Dragon?….don’t tell me…” Jaejoong snap his head toward Yunho and narrowed his brows “you succeeded in opening the gate?!”

Yunho didn’t even look at him remembering that when Jaejoong stabbed himself earlier, he felt the same pain and during that time, he did drop more of his blood into the ocean. Jaejoong quickly look at the dragon flying around with a panic look in his eyes. At this moment he finally thought about Changmin and the others. If the gate has been open, if dragons have emerged…then that mean those people on the ship are in trouble.

“Yunho!” jaejoong grabs him by the arm “You have to take me back to the ship! Changmin and the others are in trouble! We have to go and help them!”

Yunho looks at him but didn’t respond

“Are you hearing me?! You opened the gate, they could be under attack by dragons as we speak! I need to go help them!”

Seeing Jaejoong desperate wanting to leave made Yunho angry as his eyes become even colder “help? You aren’t even able to help yourself…just who can you help? Don’t forget…You are in my hand…I can easily kill you right now…rather than worrying about others…you should worried about yourself first”

The warmth that was there a moment ago turn cold as the glimpse of the old Yunho that Jaejoong just saw had vanished, replaced with the same person who doesn’t care about anyone or anything. To see Yunho have no will power to even fight the darkness inside…to maintain his normal state of mind annoyed Jaejoong. He let go of him and took a step back

“If you aren’t going to take me…then I’ll just find a way to get back them myself”

He took a step back toward the cave but Yunho grabbed onto his arm tightly “Have you forgotten what you just said to me? You said you won’t leave my side…You will be the annoying bee that will constantly fly around me…so why is it that you are leaving now?!”

Jaejoong narrowed his brows at Yunho “first of all…I say I was going to be like a Fly not a Bee…secondly, Changmin and the others are in deep trouble… after I help them…I’ll surely return to your side to endure your new ty personality….I will help you no matter what, you have my words but at this moment, the safety of changmin and the others comes first”

He yanked his arm away from Yunho’s hold and ventured further into the cave to see if he could find another way out. Yunho however wasn’t going to let it go as he steps forward and grabs him again.

“Don’t think that you can just do whatever you want?!” he shouted with such cold glares “If I wanted to, I can just take back that heart…!”

Jaejoong’s mood was no longer good, his body is still aching from the entanglement earlier, the fact that he fail to prevent Yunho from opening the gate already frustrated him enough. The fact that those he came to care about is in danger and this world will fall apart. Yet, here is Yunho trying to stop him from helping and not wanting to do anything only made him more frustrated. He snap his head toward him and return the cold glare which surprised Yunho a bit

“Take back the heart? Is that only thing you can say to threaten me!” shouted Jaejoong as he fully turn to face Yunho “Do you know how tired I am hearing this line coming from your god damn mouth? Rather than saying crap like this every time I step out of line…you mind as well just do it and save me the trouble”

“Don’t think I won’t do it!”

Jaejoong became even angrier as he grabs Yunho’s hand and place it over his chest “Do it! I dare you to! You already tried doing it twice so maybe this time you will go through with it!”

Yunho made no movement as jaejoong continues to taunt him pressing his body further against his hand. Earlier he didn’t hesitate to remove the heart but strangely enough, this time he did as he yanked his hand away from him and clenches his fist tightly

“You really have a lot of courage don’t you?!” Yunho glared

“If I don’t have courage then what should I have…fear? Will, you can just dream about it because this person here fears nothing”

Yunho grinned “except loosing me?”

Jaejoong looked at him before closing his eyes to calm his nerves “yes…but I’m starting to wonder if it was just a useless fear…”

He made an attempt to walk away but Yunho still reaches out to grab his arm once more. This time Jaejoong wasn’t having it. Even if his body was still aching, he still turn around and sends a blow directly against Yunho’s cheek sending him back a few steps. Jaejoong then grab onto him and manages to push him down onto the ground while gripping the collar of his shirt tightly. He raised his other hand wanting to hit Yunho once more and lash out his frustration but he held himself back. Yunho however, was left in shock. He is a strong dragon who never allows anyone to look down on him or allow anyone to overpower him so why didn’t his body move when jaejoong hit him? Why didn’t he fight back when this bride pushed him down?

***flash back***

Yunho placed jaejoong upon the ground. Jaejoong falls to his knee as he coughed out water and trying to catch his breath. He thought for sure he will drown and die.

“To think you didn’t know how to swim even though you act strong without any we…”

Before Yunho could finish his sentence he felt his body being pushed as his back slammed against the wall. Jaejoong had quickly stood up and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt slamming him with a fury glare. It could be that upon seeing what was reflected in those big brown eyes that caused Yunho to be a bit slower as jaejoong’s fist landed upon his cheek. This took Yunho by surprise; he couldn’t remember when was the last time anyone had struck him. He turns his gaze back to the beautiful man before him as he noticed jaejoong shaking endlessly. There was no doubt about what Yunho saw in those eyes earlier, it was a feeling he never though he will see coming from this man who enjoy violence. It is said that he has no fear, no sympathy, no remorse…no love and affection and yet these eyes looking back at him reflects fear. It was at this moment that Yunho was able to figure out what jaejoong was hiding.

“You…are scare of the sea?” Yunho asked

Jaejoong took a few steps back “I’m…not scare…I don’t know how you come to the conclusion…”he spoke trying to act tough and hide that fact.

“Then why did you hit me?”

“because you….!” jaejoong paused upon remembering the kiss under the water as his felt his body started to heat up It’s…because pushed me off the cliff…I could have died…!”

“A normal human would have died the minute their body hit the water…however…” Yunho look at jaejoong directly in the eyes “you aren’t a normal human…”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you really need me to explain further? By now you would have remember that night…what happen to you”

Jaejoong didn’t say anything as Yunho continue “As long as I am alive…you will not die…”

“This…is a dream…it has got to be a dream…”

“Think of it however you want but this is real…I saved your life that day…in exchange you became my bride and here…” Yunho pointed to Jaejoong’s chest where the flower is located “this heart bares half that you were born with and half of mine…A part of a dragon now lives inside you…”

***end of flash back***

Upon this flash back, Yunho seem to have frozen like he was in a world of his world. The memory of the first time jaejoong hit him and this time seem to have blended in together. The location was the same, the place he was hit was also the same, and the feeling of utter shock is also the same, only the situation was different. Jaejoong eventually lowered his hand as he released Yunho before standing up as a cold wind blew into the cave and silence filled the room. Yunho remain lying down on the ground as Jaejoong looms over him staring down at him.

After a moment of silence Yunho finally uttered the words “…afraid of the sea…” softly still in a daze as jaejoong couldn’t heard him clearly

“What did you say?” jaejoong asked

Feeling his cheek still throbbing, Yunho’s eyes slowly turn to face him. He finally stood up as jaejoong steps away. Feeling his check stings and recalling what just happen made him annoyed, not that he got hit on the cheek but that his pride took a big hit.

“You dare to strike me?!” Yunho frowned angrily

“If I don’t hit you…what should I do? Coward before your feet? Agreed to do whatever you wanted me to? You may be a dragon Yunho…you may be strong and powerful…you may be a fearful beast of legends but that does not make you more superior then others…nor does that make you the boss of me. I am a man of free will, I do what I want…and there is nothing you can do to stop me…if you really want to stop me from going then I highly suggest you do take your heart back and allow me to descend to hell”

Jaejoong no longer give him any attention as he walks further into the cave to see if there is another pathway out of there. Yunho only stood there speechless wondering why in the world a royal dragon like himself would pick such a bride with such a horrible personality. This bride before him is arrogant, stubborn, too courageous for his own good, have no fear even at death, has quite the mouth, doesn’t listen, does whatever he wants, and even daring enough to hit his dragon partner without hesitation. This was the exact opposite of what a dragon bride should be. There have got to be a mistake somewhere, is what he thought but deep down in his heart, he knew there was no mistake.

“Are they…more important than me?” he finally asked after a long silence

Jaejoong didn’t even turn to look at him and continue to look around “They are important…”

Yunho felt his heart sink as his chest tightens

“But…you are indeed more important” jaejoong finished his sentence without even looking at the dragon behind him to see the change in his expression

“Then why are you so desperate to save them?”

“One of them is my good friend…the others had put their life on the line to help you and me…they turn against their own family to ensure our safety…so of course I will have to help them…”

“You are only a human…what can you do?”

“Being human does not limit your capability to go beyond your set abilities…when we are determine to accomplish something…great things will happen…call it a miracle if you will”

Yunho didn’t say anything as he turn his attention to the few dragons that is now flying in the horizon. He can feel that more dragons have crossed over to this time as the end draws near as all lives here on this world will cease to exist. He stood there contemplating of what course of action to take. He turn his attention to Jaejoong and sees that he has yet to turn around to face him. His eyes started to glow a shade of gold and with a wave of his hand, a water shield emerged cutting the room in half. Upon seeing this, jaejoong was taken by surprise as he rushed forward toward the shield and bang on it

“Yah! What are you doing?!”

“This world is doom to fall…it is best you stay here” said Yunho

“ that! I’m not going to just sit here and do nothing so let me go!”

Yunho only glared at him before stepping forward toward the entrance and floated up “When everything is settled, I’ll come back to release you…that…is if everything turns out how I wanted”

The way he speak sounded strange, almost as if there is a chance of him not returning. This made jaejoong really worried as he call out to Yunho but he ignored him. Seeing this blue dragon disappear out of sight made jaejoong panic even more as he bangs on the shield and continues to shout with everything he got but at the end, there was nothing but silence as his response.

“Yunho…” he whispered this name bitterly

Meanwhile back to where changmin and the others are, there were heavy casualties everywhere. A few ships has been destroyed as debris of broken woods floats around them as well as countless bodies. Other ships were caught on fire as flames burns from both side. At this point only 3 ships remain and only a few people are left to continue this fruitless battle.

“We have to return to land!” an injured hunter shouted

“No we can’t! If we let them pass…more people will die!” Spoke Changmin

“If we stay here…all of us will die! There aren’t many of us left young master…it is better to fight on solid ground rather than at sea…here our movements are restricted…we are at a disadvantage on water! But at land...we will have a better chance of succeeding”

Changmin still refuse to retreat as he glares at the large amount of dragons flying in the sky as more continues to emerge from the tear in the sky. The beautiful aurora that he admired has become a thing he loathed. His attention turns to the big white dragon that had just emerged from the gate. Its pure white scales glows a rainbow light almost blending in with the rainbow aurora in the sky. When it first came out, everyone was in shock and fear. Immediately, everyone knew this dragon was different…more powerful…more fearful. However, it has come out a moment ago and has yet to make any moves. He floats behind all the smaller dragons, sticking close to the gate in the sky, watching them…observing the fight without doing anything. This only made Changmin even more concern, wondering what is this large white dragon thinking? What is it planning? Is it amusing to watch them being defeated by dragons smaller then him? Is seeing death and destruction a mere entertainment for him?

“Young master!” the injured hunter called out to him “we have to retreat now!”

Changmin clenches his teeth in frustration not wanting to retreat but at the same time he knows that this is not a fight they can win here at sea.

“Changmin…he is right…we can’t stay here” came Junsu’s voice who had suffered a few injures of his own “Don’t forget…grandfather is on this ship as well as you…if you both died here…who will lead the shim family…who will take charge of the other hunters and lead them to battle? Your role is important so you can’t perish here”

Listening to Junsu said this, Changmin can’t help but made the decision to retreat. He ordered the remaining people to remove the anchor and sail back to land. Seeing that that is the plan, Yoochun took it upon himself to ensure that they make it back safely as he attacks any dragons that will try to attack them. But fighting for so long now has also exhausted him greatly however he can’t stop now. While he was fighting a dragon that had tried to attack the ship, another dragon came from behind. His hand glows a bright red color as he blasted fire toward that dragon. The flame causes it to roar in pain before retreating as Yoochun attempted to fight another dragon. He conjure up a large ball of fire and sent it toward a group of small dragons when suddenly, that ball of fire was extinguished by water. He immediately felt the familiar energy as he narrowed his brows and turn his head to where the water came from. Floating there is none other than Yunho, glaring at him with his golden eye. Yoochun noticed that Yunho has shifted his attention down to the people on the ship and just as he feared, Yunho descended down toward them. Yoochun quickly descended down as well to stop Yunho. He manages to get ahead and summon fires before blasting them toward the blue dragon. Yunho stopped in his track, summoning water to counter those attacks but when the fire turn into smokes, it was Yoochun who came out of those smokes straight toward him. Yoochun grab onto him and pushed him back further up into the sky.

“I WON’T LET YOU KILL THEM!” shouted Yoochun as he continues to push Yunho further away

Yunho was calm as he manages to break free of Yoochun’s hold. They both got into an intense fight, one wanting to destroy while one wanting to protect. Fire and water clashed once again as old friends became enemy. But like before, Yunho had the upper hand as he is stronger and more powerful than Yoochun. Being exhausted and being pushed to his limit, Yoochun could barely keep up the fight against him. Yunho turn water into sharp knife like spears and blasted them toward the fire dragon. Yoochun tried to dodge them, tried his best to counter the attack but more spears like water rain down upon him. He eventually could no longer hold his ground against such a fierce attack as he is sent down, crashing into the main ship.

“YOOCHUN!” Junsu shouted as he rushed toward Yoochun who had coughed up blood.

Yoochun attempted to stand up again to continue the fight but it was no use, he has finally use up all his strength as his body became heavy unable to get off the ground.

“Where is jaejoong? Why…why isn’t jaejoong with him?” changmin asked as he felt a sense of fear surfacing.

Junsu, Yoochun and MinJun could only look up at Yunho wondering what have he done with his bride. Did he really kill jaejoong? If not, what did he do with him? They watched as he turn away from them and turn his attention to the large white dragon. He flew higher toward the dragon who was the first king. All the other dragons did not stop him but made way for him before blocking the pathway. Everyone immediately knew this wasn’t a good sign. For the future king and the past king to come together, to unit and destroy will really be the end for this world.

A short amount of time have passed since Yunho left, Jaejoong couldn’t get through the water shield as he sat on the ground with his back against the wall and his knee pulled against his chest. He wrapped his arms around his knee and rested his head against his arms. The fact that he doesn’t know what is going on at the moment made him very anxious. At the thought of Yunho joining force with the other dragons to create chaos and him not being there to stop his dragon partner makes him feel even worst. It wasn’t until he heard footsteps coming into the cave did he snap out of his thoughts

“Jaejoong Oppa…” came a young girl’s voice

Upon hearing this person speak, jaejoong felt like there was a familiarity as if he heard this voice before. He lifted his head from his arms and turn his head toward the entrance of the cave as his eyes widen

“S-Soomin?!...”

The little girl name Soomin approached the water shield with a worried look on her face “Jaejoong oppa…are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Upon seeing her, he seem to have relaxed a bit before shaking his head as an answer to her questions.

“You…how are you here?”

Soomin look at jaejoong before turning her head to look behind her. Jaejoong followed her gaze and was even more surprise to see Son JungHan, the dragon of light.

“How?...”

“I am a dragon of light…sensing darkness is my ability…”

“You...traced Yunho here?” jaejoong asked

“Yes…not to mention I taught him from a young age…I spend a lot of time with him as a child so I know how he thinks and finding him is easy for someone like me who have formed a strong connection”

Jaejoong lowered his gaze “he…isn’t here anymore”

“I can see that…what I am wondering about is why the bride who was so full of energy…so full of courage and stubbornness…who is said to fear nothing…is sitting here alone…in the dark…looking as if he had given up”

It took jaejoong a few minutes to speak “I failed…I couldn’t do it…I couldn’t bring him back…”

“If you failed…as his bride…as his line of support…as his light… then does that mean the rest of our effort is useless? Does this mean that the world has no more hope for survival?”

Jaejoong didn’t say anything as JungHan lower his gaze and touched Soomin’s head softly “you know…I plan to not get involve….I plan to keep Soomin hidden…away from all the danger…from all the fighting…even if this world is to collapse…as long as she is safe…I wouldn’t care…but then...something dawn on me…Soomin is still half human…if this world is to fall apart…if all human were to perished…like me…she too will feel the loneliness I felt of being the only dragon…not having any one else at my side…I don’t want her future to be full of sadness…full of sorrow…to feel out of place….this new world that Yunho wanted to create…is not a place for my daughter to thrive…not an ideal place for her to survive…to protect her future…to protect what is important to her….I will have to once again try…once again fight…what about you? Don’t you also want to protect the future?”

“But how? I couldn’t even protect Yunho…how can I protect something much bigger?”

“Look where you are right now…” said JungHan

“I’m trap in a cave…”

“Is that really how you see it?”

Jaejoong paused unsure what JungHan meant

“What I see is a bride being protected…Yunho kept you here not as a hostage…nor as an enemy…but rather…to prevent you from going to where danger are…to prevent you from seeing bloodshed…to prevent you from being killed…to spear you of seeing love one perished….for someone who is consumed by darkness…to act like this meant that a part of him has return…he saw you as someone important…someone to protect…this proves that he is slowly regaining his sanity….but if you give up now…he will continue to be lost…if you don’t push forward then how can he too push away the darkness inside him?” said Junghan

Jaejoong lower his gaze and remembered those sudden tears, the tight hug and those warm eyes. It was only for a moment but the old Yunho was there.

“Yunho believed in you whole heartily…this is the first time I have seen him spoken of someone else with such a bright smile and with so much confident”

***flash back***

Yunho smile faintly “So it’s already too late…I was really hoping you will be able to remove it…”

“I’m sorry…if you had look for me at the beginning when there was still time to cleanse it…I could have helped you…”

“No need to apologize…I didn’t even know you existed until today”

“What do you plan to do? You know it as much as I do what will happen to you…I think it’s best for you to stay here where I can monitor you and prevent you from going crazy…even though I can’t cleanse the darkness…I could help you keep it under control”

Yunho watches as jaejoong splash some water to Soomin as they both laugh “No need…I won’t stay here…I’ll just let it run its course…and leave it to my bride…”

JungHan raised an eyebrow “What do you mean?”

“Whatever happens to me….I know he will find a way…to bring me back from the dark”

“Yunho…he is a human…what can he do that I can’t? If I’m not able to cleanse the darkness inside you…what makes you think a powerless human can?”

“Don’t underestimate him JungHan….his will…his courage…his determination will surprise you…I have seen what he is capable of and I trust him…” Smile Yunho

***End of flash back***

JungHan told Jaejoong everything that Yunho had said to him back in the cavern. Upon hearing these words, Jaejoong became speechless. Even though he had wanted Yunho to believe in him…to trust in his ability, he never expected that this dragon will really fully trust in him so much as to say these words to JungHan.

“I want to help him…but…how? I have tried what I can…and that barely did anything”

“No…just you being yourself…you not being afraid of him…you had already done more than you think…By risking your life of stabbing yourself, you put him into a state of confusion…by sharing the warmth of your body…you begun to melt his heart that has become ice…by hitting him on the cheek you have help cleared part of his clouded mind….but there is one thing you have yet to do that might just be what Yunho needed most to recover himself…don’t forget Jaejoong shhi…the heart that lies in you is a combination of yours and his…only you will know what it is that he needs…what it is that will help pull him out”

“W-wait a minute…” Jaejoong spoke a bit flustered “You…how…did you know about all of that…about…about me sharing…my…my warmth…”

JungHan look at him and smiled “it’s a secret….”

Jaejoong blushed even more knowing that someone actually saw them going at it like hungry animals.

“It’s nothing to be ashamed about…it’s normal between a dragon and his bride…”

“Enough! Stop talking about it…”

“Like I was saying….only you will know what he needs most…you will just have to look into your heart…look deeper into the connection you both shared and you will find the answer you need”

Jaejoong pondered on this for a few minutes, wondering what have he yet to do. He closed his eyes and listened to the heart beat echoing inside of him. Suddenly his eyes widen upon realizing something. He stood up and turn to JungHan with a confident smile on his face.

“Quickly! Take me to him…I know what to do” said jaejoong

JungHan smiled “very well…”

Jaejoong and Soomin rode on the neck of JungHan who had taken his dragon form. They flew through the sky in the speed of light wasting no time. As they got closer to where the battle lies Jaejoong was shock to see what lies before him. The chaotic scene was enough to make him angry, enough to make him feel sorrow, and for the first time…enough to make him feel fear other than losing Yunho. There were countless...maybe hundreds of dragons swarming in the sky near the open gate, fighting against the remaining three ships below. Fire rages from all over as lights of all colors ignited the night.

“Hurry JungHan!” Jaejoong shouted

“Hang on”

With a strong flap of his wings, they pick up speed as they made their way toward the main ship where changmin and the others stood, trying to fight their way back to land. It was Junsu who first spotted JungHan and he was immediately alerted.

“Quickly! Another dragon is approaching!” he shouted

A few hunters turn their attention to JungHan and attempted to fight

“Wait! Stop!” Yoochun shouted “That…that is not an enemy…”

Junsu and the others paused

“Not an enemy? Then…an ally?” Junsu asked

Yoochun only look at Son Junghan in shock, he recognized his dragon form and knows that it is him however, he never expected that this great dragon who served beside the previous king actually is alive in this era.

“He…is my teacher” said Yoochun remembering how Son Junghan had also taught him as a young dragon.

Junsu look at Yoochun as well as Changmin, both in shock “teacher?!”

A few dragons attempted to attack JungHan as he blasted them away and made his way toward the main ship. Everyone was in a state of shock just staring at this dragon before them. It wasn’t until Changmin noticed Jaejoong riding on top of JungHan did he became overjoy.

“Jaejoong ah!!” he shouted happily rushing toward him “You…You are okay?”

“Why wouldn’t I be…?”

“Because…well…Yunho came back without you…I was afraid he had hurt you and left you for dead somewhere”

“I’m not that weak…death haven’t won against me in the past…why would it win me this time” smirk Jaejoong

“How about your wound?”

“It’s healed…”

“By who?”

Jaejoong gestured his attention to the sky where Yunho is floating in front of the big white dragon

“Him? But…isn’t he like…consumed by darkness? He tried to kill you…so why would he heal you?”

“It’s a long story which we have no time for…I have to go to Yunho”

“Is he…back to normal?” ask Junsu

Jaejoong shook his head “Not yet…”

“Then it’s best you don’t go…” said Junsu

“I have to…I’m the only one who can bring him back to his senses…and he is the only one who can correct this mess…”

“But…”

Strangely enough, the one who stopped Junsu was Changmin as he turn to face Jaejoong with a serious look on his face “Are you confident you can do this?”

“Yes”

“Alright…we will help you anyway we can…”

Jaejoong nodded his head.

“I’ll help too” said Yoochun

“No...You are heavy injured” said Junsu

“I’m okay now…they will need my help to reach Yunho…to get through all those dragons will not be easy by themselves…”

Junsu was reluctant to let Yoochun go as he held onto his arm tightly. Seeing him worried, Yoochun only smiled and touched his check softly “I will return to your side…I won’t die so easily…I promise”

Junsu still didn’t want to let him go but he knew he can’t be selfish at a time like this as he nodded his head and let go of his arm. Everyone turn their attention toward the large white dragon in the sky where Yunho is also located.

“Changmin…I will have to bother you to take care of Soomin…”

Upon saying this, Changmin finally noticed a little girl sitting behind Jaejoong holding onto his waist. Jaejoong turn to her and speak some words before she nodded her head and step down from her father’s dragon neck and onto the ship.

“Make sure she is safe” said Jaejoong

Changmin nodded his head “I will protect her…just concentrate on what you need to do”

Jaejoong nodded his head “you guys…stay alive”

“Same goes to you…”

Yoochun looks at Junsu and smiled as Junsu also return the smile believing in his words that no matter what, he will return. Without any more delays, Yoochun’s eyes started to glow as he floated into the sky and took his dragon form. His fire red dragon scales glows brightly with determination as a fierce fire glows at the end of his tail. His eyes glows in a bright orange red color as he flaps his two large red wings and with a loud roar, he pushed forward. JungHan followed after him as Jaejoong sat on his neck keeping his eyes on Yunho

“Just you wait…this time…I’ll surely bring you back!”
