Chapter Eight:Restart

"W-Where is he now,do you know it?And is Moonbinnie with him?" Yunho asked after several seconds of silence in which he tried to convince himself that this was not a dream...Jaejoong was really back in Korea.

And although he didn't know just yet where exactly the other male was,he still seemed so close.

Changmin smiled at the hope in his brother's voice...it was the hope that kept the older male going during the last months where life hasn't been all too good on him."Moonbinnie is with him and well...Jihoon hyung was asking Yihan ssi for the address when I came here to tell you the news."

"If you would've waited a few seconds longer,I would've been able to give it to you right away instead of having to follow you up here." Jihoon spoke from behind Changmin,panting hard as he used a handkerchief to get rid of the sweat on his forehead.

"You could've taken the elevator,you know?" Changmin asked in amusement and chuckled slightly at the blank stare of the older male.

"My brain kind of went haywire when I heard that Jaejoong is back,okay?And I didn't want to waste time waiting for the elevator." The oldest amongst them spoke before he handed a small piece of paper to Yunho with a reassuring smile."Here...go and do things right,Yunho."

"Thank you." Yunho muttered before pulling his brother and his cousin closer for a hug,tears continueing to stream down his face before he could feel how Jihoon and Changmin were wiping the wet stains away.

"I don't think Jaejoong hyung would want you back like this,you look ugly when you cry." Changmin commented with a smile that contradicted strongly to his words,earning himself amused chuckles from Yunho and an affectionate smack on his head from Jihoon.

Yunho thanked the two of them for the last time before they urged him to just go and get to his family and Yunho was all too eager to do just that,not even bothering to wait for the elevator as he stormed down the stairs.Happiness filled his heart and a wide smile spread on his lips at the thought of being able to embrace Jaejoong and Moonbin again after months of waiting.

But as he thought about what could probably happen the moment he stood right infront of Jaejoong again,Yunho halted at the possible scenario of Jaejoong sending him away.Standing on the stairs like a lost child,Yunho's smile fell and his heart started to hurt at the posibility of receiving a rejection from Jaejoong.

He was back in Korea,yes...but was he back for him?

Yunho's self-confidence was long gone.Insecurity was all he held in himself right now whenever he thought of Kim Jaejoong.

What if Jaejoong didn't come here to see him but because of some other matters?Matters of more importance than him?And suddenly,Yunho couldn't help but wonder bitterly:Who did he think he was to think that Jaejoong was back for him when nothing of that sort has been said?

Feeling utterly lost,Yunho continued to walk down the stairs with hesitant steps until he arrived on the first floor.He slowly took his cellphone out with a sigh and made his way out of the building as he dialed Changmin's number.

"Hyung?" Came the confusion-filled greeting from the other side of the line.

"Min...what if he isn't ready to take me back yet?No one said that he is back because of me.If I go to him only to be rejected by him...I don't know if my heart would be able to take it,Min.I know that I would deserve the rejection,but it would hurt nevertheless...I mean...having him so close to me and being refused to hold him..." Yunho stopped his desperate blabbering and sighed once again,his gaze fixated on nothing in particular.

"Hyung...I don't know whether he is ready to have you back in his life yet,I'm simply not him.But don't you think that Yihan ssi would've kept Jaejoong hyung's return a secret if Jaejoong hyung was against you knowing about it?I'm sure that he somewhat expects you to try going to meet him if you shall know that he is back and if he was against the idea,he would've told everyone to keep quiet and Yihan ssi would've never given us Jaejoong hyung's address."

Yunho bit his bottom lip gently as he listened to his brother's words,admitting that they sounded logical and reasonable enough to put Yunho's mind more at ease and yet the insecurity and fear remained within him."But what if-"

"You won't find out until you stand right infront of him,hyung.And even if he shall reject you...don't give up.You can't.Of course...after everything that happened between you...you can't expect for him to greet you with opened arms right away after several months of suffering and seperation.But never let that be a reason to give up.Was everything you have been saying the past few months a lie?Your promises to fight for your family...were those only empty words?" Changmin prompted and could hear Yunho's alarmed gasp coming right away.

"Of course not,Min.I will fight for them."

"So do it."

A while of silence greeted the two brothers before Yunho smiled gently."I will.Thank you,Min."

"Thank me when you got your happiness back." Changmin replied with a chuckle which Yunho rewarded with one of his own before they both ended the call.

Yunho slowly walked towards his car and once he was seated securely in the black vehicle,the tanned man took a deep breath to calm himself down before finally starting the engine.He took one last glance at the piece of paper which held his beloved's address before driving away,hoping that things were going to end well for him today.His brother's words rang in his ears and he forced himself to not expect all too much but also not to hope for any less than a chance to talk to or at least catch a glimpse of Jaejoong today.

- 2.20 pm -

"Yes,my angel...I know you are hungry." Jaejoong cooed softly before leading the of the baby bottle to Moonbin's tiny mouth,laughing softly when his son was starting to on it eagerly."My baby was starving,hmm?"

"He is always so hungry nowadays." Kibum whispered as he placed himself next to his brother on the bed,smiling down at his nephew who was averting his gaze away from his mother to have a look at his uncle instead,without allowing his curiosity about the new person in the room to distract him from drinking his milk.

"Yeah...milk is simply not enough for him anymore.He should've started eating food many months ago already." Jaejoong replied with a soft sigh."We should try to give him solid foods from now on and give him some mashed bananas later on."

Jaejoong laughed softly at the way his younger brother wrinkled his nose at the suggested food."Hey...you loved that when you were his age."

"I was weird." Kibum replied and earned a rich laughter from Jaejoong.

"No,you were a normal baby."

Kibum smiled at that and simply laid himself down,stretching his body on the soft surface before fixating his eyes on the ceiling of the room in silence.He then tilted his head to the side and watched how Jaejoong was smiling down at Moonbin before the older male noticed his stare and turned his head to look back at him questioningly.

"Do you think he will come?" The younger male uttered ever so softly,staring straight into his brother's eyes in search for the many hidden emotions Kibum knew Jaejoong was trying to hide.

"I don't know..." Came the simple reply as Jaejoong tore his gaze away from Kibum to look at his son instead.

His return to Korea was not an easy decision to make.To come back to the things and the person which made him suffer for way too long was something Jaejoong didn't know he could take.He actually didn't plan on returning so soon,but the familiar pull at his heart was starting to make him restless.He tried to fight against it,but the more he fought...the closer he pushed himself towards defeat.

Jaejoong knew that he was behaving unreasonable right now.But he didn't want to be reasonable anymore when it meant for him to continue living without the last missing piece in his life until he would draw his last breath.He was tired of listening to his common sense.He just wanted to be happy and if people were to judge him for being weak enough to keep hoping for a happy end for him and Yunho...then be it.He was past caring about what people would think of him.

But he wouldn't let Yunho off so easily either.He would have to work for his place in Jaejoong's and Moonbin's life.

"What if he doesn't come?"

"Then I would want to know why not.It's either he doesn't have a reason to come for me and Moonbin anymore or he...he thinks that I actually don't want to see him." Jaejoong spoke and paused briefly to take a glance at his brother."I told Yihan hyung to not say anything of that sort to him after all...or else Yunho would've hoped for much more than I can offer him at the moment."

Kibum nodded in return,not knowing what else to do but stare at his brother.During their time in Germany,Kibum has often witnessed Jaejoong talking to Moonbin about Yunho.He always shared the happy memories he made with Yunho to their son and he looked happy doing it.And whenever he looked at his brother's eyes during those moments...Kibum could do nothing but admit that just like no one else has hurt Jaejoong as much as Yunho did,no one else has made Jaejoong happier either.His brother loved Yunho and that was all that counted.

Junsu was of course not as easy to convince as Kibum and it has taken weeks for Jaejoong to get Junsu's approval for his return to Korea.And Kibum was sure that if it wasn't because of Yoochun's efforts,they would still be in Germany.Junsu was still against the idea of a possible reunion between Jaejoong and Yunho,but knew that he only had limited influence on Jaejoong's life.Jaejoong was not a child anymore.

"Young Master Jaejoong,Jung Yunho ssi is here." Hyun Joong announced calmly and earned himself a gasp of surprise from Jaejoong.

"Have you let him in already?"

"No,Young Master.It seemed advisable to ask for your permission first."

Jaejoong nodded at Hyun Joong's words and flashed his personal bodyguard a gentle smile."Let him in and tell him to wait in the living room."

"Yes,Young Master Jaejoong." Hyun Joong replied before excusing himself to do as he was told.

Jaejoong took a deep breath before he removed the bottle from his son's mouth to adjust Moonbin's position in his arms.He slowly rose himself up from the bed and made his way out of the room only to halt right at the doorway as he fought with his nervousness and hesitance.

Just a few steps more and he would see Yunho again.He has imagined it many times how their first meeting after months of seperation would be,but one could never know how the real situation was going to be like.Would he break down the instant he saw Yunho?Would the anger and disappointment return together with the sorrow?Or was his love going to take over?

He was going to find out now.

Pressing a soft kiss onto his son's forehead,Jaejoong smiled against Moonbin's soft skin as his son giggled in return."You will see Appa again,angel."

Feeling his heartbeat getting more violent,Jaejoong closed his eyes shortly and took another deep breath hefore he finally headed towards the living room,knowing that Yunho was going to be there.

So close.So,so close.

His steps grew heavy and hesitant,but he wouldn't back off now.So he just continued to walk until the light shining through the windows of the living room shone right at him and Moonbin,caressing their skin with warmth.The moment they stood in the doorway,everyone in the living room turned around to look at them.But there was only one person Jaejoong's eyes were fixated on.

Yunho was nervous,it was all too obvious.His hesitant smile made him look so boy-ish and nothing like the confident Jung Yunho Jaejoong knew.And just this small difference gave Jaejoong more hope,making him believe that Yunho has changed indeed.Whether those changes were all positive was yet to be found out.

"Jaejoong." Yunho uttered as he got up,struggling with what to do next as he drummed his fingertips against his legs nervously.

He wanted to just pull Jaejoong and Moonbin in his arms,telling them how much he has missed them and how much he wished for another chance to be with them.But he didn't want to do anything which Jaejoong would possibly reject.The last time they have seen each other,Jaejoong has made it clear to him that he didn't want to be touched by him.

"Hello,Yunho..." Jaejoong replied gently before he stepped closer to the other male with a hesitant smile and then noticed how Yunho's eyes slowly wandered to the smiling bundle of joy in his arms."Would you like to hold him?"

"C-Can I?" The tanned male asked in slight surprise.

"Of course..." Came the calm answer from Jaejoong before he placed Moonbin into Yunho's arms carefully.

He was smiling at his son,his heart melting at the way Moonbin was starting to fist Yunho's shirt,soft giggles escaping his tiny mouth.But that was nothing compared to what he saw once he looked at Yunho himself.The tall man's eyes held tears of happiness in them,threatening to be spilled soon enough as Yunho continued to send adoring gazes towards their son.

"He has grown a lot in these few months." Yunho whispered,his current state not allowing for him to speak any louder or any more confident.

"Yes..." Jaejoong agreed before walking over to the sitting area in the living room and signaled for Yunho to follow him before they both sat down next to each other a couch with a certain distance between them."Yunho...I need to talk to you about what will happen from now on."

Yunho instantly looked up at Jaejoong and could see the beauty smiling weakly at him before he placed Moonbin's baby bottle onto the couch table,folding his hands neatly on his lap afterwards.This was the moment Yunho has been anticipating the most and yet it was also the moment he has feared the most.But now that he was here,he would have to accept whatever decision Jaejoong has made.

"When I was away...I didn't know what to do at first.I hated you for what you have done to me...you hurt me so much that the pain I felt turned into something unspeakable.But at the same time...I loved you.And like I have told you before I left...I hated myself for it.I tried so hard to not love you anymore.I tried so hard to fight my own feelings to find my happiness far away from you,but as time went by...I realized that no matter how hard I would fight to forget you...I would never be able to erase you out of my life and I would never be able to stop loving you.I grew tired of fighting against myself." So many emotions ran through his body at the exact same time and forced Jaejoong to pause as he gave himself some time to calm down again.

He didn't look at Yunho,afraid that one look into those almond-shaped eyes would prevent him from saying what he has wanted to say."I'm not here to give you a second chance,Yunho.I'm here to give you the opportunity to fight for a second chance in mine and Moonbin's life.I don't want us to continue from where he stopped.I want us to start everything anew as two strangers who happen to have a child together...do you understand what I mean?"

And finally,Jaejoong allowed himself to look up from his own lap to face the older male properly.Nothing was said between them for a while,the time spent on looking at each other as if trying to coax any kind of surprising reaction from the other party.

Jaejoong was about to look break their gaze when Yunho shifted Moonbin in his arms before stretching his right hand out for Jaejoong with a smile on his lips which was so gentle and loving that the lingering doubt in Jaejoong's heart started to disappear slowly but surely."Hello,I'm Jung Yunho...nice to meet you."

And Jaejoong smiled.

oOo

- Wednesday,4th December,8 pm -

Hearing his cellphone ringing,Jaejoong quickly walked towards his bed to get a hold of the black device before bringing it near his ear to answer the incoming call.

"Yoboseyo?"

"J-Jaejoong?" Yunho stuttered from the other end of the line."I'm sorry to call you this late,but I just wanted to...to say good night to you and Moonbin.I would've called sooner,but the final preparations for the opening of the restaurant have started and kept me so occupied that I-"

"Yunho it's okay.I understand...and it's not that late anyway." Jaejoong interrupted quickly when he noticed how nervous the other male sounded."Moonbin is asleep already,but I will make sure to give him a kiss from you later on if you want."

A sigh of relief could be heard and caused Jaejoong to smile gently.He has never seen Yunho acting like this before...so unsure of what to do and so careful with his words.The old Jung Yunho was no one to stutter infront of others and he surely didn't care of what his words could do to other people.It was a change Jaejoong has grown to adore.

"Thank you,Jaejoong." The tall man spoke softly,his words holding nothing but sincere gratitude.

"You're welcome.Take care of yourself,Yunho...don't stress yurself too much and get some sleep tonight,good ni-"

"Wait,Jaejoong!"

The sudden outburst caused Jaejoong to flinch a little before he proceeded to wait patiently for whatever Yunho had to say,the excitement causing him to bite onto his bottom lip gently.

"A-Are you free tomorrow?"

Surprise graced Jaejoong's face,his features softening a few seconds later as he realized where this was heading to."Yes,I am..."

"Then uhm...I mean...I don't have much to do tomorrow,so...would you like to have dinner with me?And Moonbin?I used to work in a very family friendly restaurant and they also have food for babies.It will be on me of course and-"

"Yes."

Yunho rambling found an abrupt end after the short and yet effective interruption,causing Jaejoong to smile just a little wider.Yes,he liked this Jung Yunho.

"Yes?" Yunho inquired.

"Yes.Me and Moonbin will have dinner with you tomorrow."

oOo

- Kim apartment,Friday,20th December,1 pm -

"Hello,Yunho ssi." Hyun Joong said as he bowed slightly to greet the man he was now to respect due to his change of status within the Kim family.

He was not their boss' captive anymore but someone dear to their Young Master Jaejoong.

"Hello,Hyun Joong ssi." Yunho greeted back with a humble smile."Is Jaejoong at home?"

"Yes,I am." The two of them could Jaejoong say from behind Hyun Joong before the bodyguard could say something."I thought that you are busy in the restaurant today."

"Yes but we're currently having a break,so I came to see you and Moonbin...I hope you don't mind."

"No...I don't." Jaejoong spoke before signaling for Yunho to come inside and follow him.

They walked towards the living room together where Kibum was currently playing with Moonbin on his lap.Upon spotting the tall man standing in the doorway,Kibum gently turned Moonbin around and pointed at Yunho while talking to his nephew.

"Look over there,Moonbinnie...your Appa is here." Kibum cooed and laughed when Moonbin started to giggle cutely as he reached out for his father.

Yunho quickly approached the two of them before taking Moonbin into his arms,pressing gentle kissses onto his son's face."Have you been good,angel?You haven't done anything naughty,have you?"

Giggles and gurgles were the only answers he got,not that he minded.Moonbin was just too cute for words.

"Moonbin could never be naughty." Jaejoong said with a smile as he walked closer to Yunho and Moonbin,pressing a swift kiss onto Moonbin's forehead.

And when he looked up again,realizing in what position him and Yunho were in and how close they stood to each other...Jaejoong couldn't help but smile.

Kibum watched them from afar and smiled to himself before leaving the room quietly.The small family needed some time alone...and he needed to go and meet a certain snarky teenager who asked him for his number when they accompanied Yunho,Jaejoong and Moonbin to a park a few days ago.

That shameless jerk.

oOo

To say that Yunho's parents weren't happy with their son's decision to approach Jaejoong once more would've been an understatement,but Yunho couldn't care less.He didn't need his parents.They were the ones to abandon him and his brother,leaving them with nothing but some cash they luckily had in their wallets.Why should he care about the opinion of someone who didn't care about him?

He knew that Junsu wasn't too happy about him and Jaejoong trying to get back together again either and Jaejoong has made it clear to him that Junsu would not make it easy for him to be by Jaejoong's side.But Yunho's determination didn't waver.He knew that he deserved to have someone throwing obstacles his way after what he has done to Jaejoong and he was all too willing to overcome them all.He didn't want to be the old,wimpy him anymore who always chose the easiest path to go through life.

oOo

- 'Taste of Hope',Monday,30th December,5.30 pm -

"Hyung,have you seen my cellphone?" Yunho asked as he maneuvered himself through the many tables to get to the restaurant's very own bar,the place he suspected to be his cellphone's 'hiding place' because he has spent a lot of time checking that area earlier.

"In your office...you went in there to call Jaejoong,remember?" Jihoon spoke in amusement as he watched his cousin facepalming himself before Yunho rushed to his office with a groan.

"He's going gaga." Changmin commented as he helped the waiters to decorate the tables."I almost hit him during breakfast because he kept on babbling about what could go wrong this evening."

"It's his first time doing something like this,can't blame him for being nervous." The older cousin replied with a smile,chuckling at the low groan coming from Changmin.

Jihoon was about to go and check on Yunho when the sounds of a baby giggling caught his attention,causing him to turn around and have a look at the entrance where Jaejoong was standing with Moonbin in his arms and Kibum as well as four bodyguards right behind him.

"Jaejoong."

Upon hearing his name being called,Jaejoong quickly shifted his gaze towards Jihoon and smiled before he approached Jihoon."Hello hyung...where is Yunho?I brought him some food...Changmin told me that he hasn't eaten anything proper since this morning."

"He is in his office." Jihoon replied with a smile before he watched Changmin and Kibum approaching them.

"Aww can I play with Binnie for a while,hyung?" Changmin asked as he took Moonbin into his arms.

Jaejoong laughed softly,nodding in response before he walked towards Yunho's office.He laughed softly to himself when he could hear Yunho muttering things to himself he couldn't quite understand.

"Yunho." Jaejoong called out softly and caused Yunho to halt before he turned around to face him.

"Jaejoong,hey."

Yunho sounded so tired and so frantic at the same time that Jaejoong couldn't help but feel sorry for him.The preparations for today's opening have taken a toll on Yunho,keeping him occupied until late at night.

"Here." The beauty uttered as he showed the bag he brought along with him to Yunho."Eat something first.You need it."

The tall man stared at Jaejoong for quite a while with a smile that showed just how touched he was by the way Jaejoong took care of him.Everything about this man was just so unbelievably sweet and Yunho was reminded of it every day that he was a goddamn lucky man to have Jaejoong's love.

Feeling happiness overwhelming him,Yunho quickly stormed towards Jaejoong to take the other man into his arms,his heart melting at the way Jaejoong's free arm was draped around him.

"Everything is going to be okay,Yunho...you will do great and the restaurant will do great.I'm proud of you."

Listening to the soothing words coming from Jaejoong,Yunho felt the urge to just cry.To have Jaejoong being proud of what he was and what he achieved was beyond everything good he has imagined to ever happen to him.

Because Jaejoong was the reason for him to do all this.

oOo

- Kim apartment,Friday,3rd January 1214,6.40 pm -

To say that Yunho was scared would've been an understatement.

The way the man infront of him stared at him as if his gaze could pierce right through Yunho's soul and the way he could hide absolutely every emotion he might've felt underneath that cold facade of his made Yunho's skin tingle sharply.This man was still out to harm him,he knew.

"You are one ed up bastard,Jung Yunho." Junsu muttered darkly,the hate all too clear in his voice."Hurting my brother to the breaking point,feeling sorry when it was too late and yet hoping for a chance to make my brother get back to you.But what's even more ed up is the fact that you managed to convince my brothers and Yoochun of your so-called change for the better.You made them believe that you are sincere this time,but to me...you will always be the backstabbing bastard that hurt my brother.The only reason for me let you be near Jaejoong is Jaejoong's wish to have you by his side.I don't approve of it but when it comes to matters of my brother's heart...my approval means little.Nevertheless...if you shall hurt him once again,I will not hesitate to take him and Moonbin away from you.I will destroy you and your family,mark my words."

Oh he did.Every single word Junsu said was tattooed into his heart the moment they were uttered.Yunho knew that Junsu didn't make empty threats.He was going to take everything away from him the moment he hurt Jaejoong again,but Yunho has sworn to himself that he would never make such a mistake again.

He knew that he was unbelievably lucky to have received another chance from Jaejoong and he wasn't going to things up this time.And no matter how hard Junsu would make it for him,he wasn't going to give up.He knew that he deserved having someone throwing obstacles his way,but he was all too willing to overcome them.He didn't want to be the old,wimpy him anymore who always chose the easiest way through life.

"Junsu ssi...I can understand your distrust,but please give me a chance to prove to you that I can make Jaejoong happy.I will not hurt him again.I will work hard to gain your trust and your approval because it does matter to me.You are Jaejoong's older brother and one of the most important persons in Jaejoong's life.I don't want to be the one thing that will always stand between the two of you but I don't want to leave Jaejoong ever again either.So please give me a chance to prove myself worthy.I will not disappoint you."

And for the first time since the start of their conversation,Yunho dared to look up into Junsu's eyes,wanting him to see that he was determined to do things right this time.

Only silence met his ears for the next minutes,Junsu's penetrating gaze meeting his in a silent battle Junsu would've won effortlessly in earlier times.No movement was made by any of them as they sat across from each other in the living room,the closed door seperating them from the curious people outside.It was an agonizing wait,but then...breathy and calm..came Junsu's answer.

"We'll see about that."

oOo

- Kim apartment,Sunday,26th January 1214,7.40 pm -

A loud squeal followed by loud laughter filled the living room as Changmin continued to chase Kibum with one piece of Jaejoong's birthday cake in his hand,ready to spread all of it on Kibum's flawless face.They ran past a grinning Yoochun and a wine-sipping Junsu who was sitting on a couch,his legs crossed elegantly as he shook his head lightly at Changmin's and Kibum's childishness.But he didn't complain.

Moonbin was seated on his mother's lap and clapped gleefully,something he was quite fond of doing after his uncle Jihoon has showed him how to the last time he was babysitting him.Jaejoong and Yunho both stared at their little angel and smiled brightly when Moonbin started to laugh again before another clap was made by his tiny hands.

"He has learned many new things lately." Yunho said before wiping the corner of Moonbin's lips with his thumb.

"Yeah...I think he's slowly trying to speak.He often tries to imitate noises now." Jaejoong answered and adjusted Moonbin's little form on his lap before trying to feed him another spoon of apple puree,his favorite food.

But Moonbin seemed to have had enough of it for today,refusing to open his mouth when he saw the spoon nearing his mouth,causing Jaejoong to laugh softly."Araso,araso...my little prince isn't hungry anymore.Let's bath you and bring you to bed,hmm?"

Jaejoong nuzzled his nose against Moonbin's cheeks and dwelled in the cute giggles he received from his son,not noticing the way Yunho was staring at them with utter adoration and love.To Yunho,this was happiness...being able to spend time with Jaejoong and Moonbin like this was everything he needed to keep going with everything he was doing.

"Can I help bathing him?" Yunho asked and caused Jaejoong to look up at him with a look of surprise before a smile spread itself on Jaejoong's beautiful face.

"Of course."

Yunho smiled at the answer before him and Jaejoong both got up and headed towards the bathroom together,not noticing most of the other people in the room staring at them with a small smile.

Loud laughters and giggles resonated in the whole apartment as Jaejoong and Yunho tried to bath their son who turned out to be quite naughty as he continuously played with the water and ended up wettening his parents as well.But neither of them minded and continued with their task while pressing soft kisses on Moonbin's face every now and then.

When Moonbin was clean and dressed in new clothes,Yunho carried the small being in his arms and headed straight to his son's room with Jaejoong guiding him.Pressing another soft kiss onto Moonbin's head,Yunho put the sleepy baby into his crib carefully before placing the baby-blue blanket on top of his son's small body.

"He must be tired.It's way past his bedtime." Jaejoong noted and slowly lowered himself to the ground until he was sitting right next to the crib,smiling when Yunho did the same.

His eyes now fixated on his son's face,Jaejoong started to hum softly before his lips parted to let his soothing voice escape.

You are born to be loved,

and you are receiving that love in your life now.

You are born to be loved,

and you are receiving that love in your life now.

Our love that started from the beginning of the time,

Produce fruit trough our meeting.

Because of your existence in this world,

You are a great joy to us.

You are born to be loved,

and you are receiving that love in your life now.

You are born to be loved,

and you are receiving that love in your life now.

Nothing but silence greeted them the moment the melodies coming from Jaejoong's lips died down.Moonbin was fast asleep,lulled into dreamland by his mother's voice.Jaejoong smiled and adjusted the blanket on his son's body before he turned to look at Yunho,surprised to see the other male's eyes b with tears.

He stayed still as Yunho approached him,looking straight into his eyes for some kind of permission for him to move closer and when Jaejoong didn't make any attempt to push him away or inch away from him,Yunho brought his arms up to wrap them around Jaejoong's body and pulled him closer into his embrace.

This was nothing like the hugs they shared before.This was of more importance and its impact on their hearts was too grave to be ignored.

Jaejoong slowly shifted in Yunho's hold to wrap his arms around the taller male,wanting to feel more of him.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry,Jaejoong...I..." Yunho couldn't speak further as his throat tightened with every sob escaping his lips,allowing himself to spill the tears he was trying so hard to hold in.

"Enough with the suffering,Yunho...I'm tired of it...so tired." Jaejoong replied,his gentle voice muffled by Yunho's shoulder as he closed his wet eyes."Let's not suffer because of the past anymore."

Yunho's heart clenched beautifully at those words and he let go of everything he has been holding back,muttering words of apology into Jaejoong's ear...hoping that those words would be enough one day.He barely registered Jaejoong pulling back until the other male was cupping his cheeks,looking at him like he was actually worth something.He knew that he didn't deserve to be loved by Jaejoong like this and deep inside,he also knew that he would never stop thinking that way.But he would spend the rest of his life working on himself so he would be worth Jaejoong's love one day.

The distance between them disappeared slowly as their lips yearned to meet again after the long seperation.And when they could feel their lips connecting,they were both sure that this was right.Everything about them was right as they held each other and it didn't matter what other people would think about them because those people were not them.

Only the two of them mattered.

Only Yunho and Jaejoong.
