After months talking about it, they finally tried to repair the washing machine. However, it wasn't that much of a wonderful idea. They managed to fix the machine but unexpectedly ended up with a pool in the bathroom.

-We can try to call Yoochun, Junsu suggested.

-What for ? Jaejoong genuinely asked.

-Help of course. Except if you became pipework pro tonight without telling me, Junsu mocked gently.

-Very funny. Of course I didn't, but Yoochun is maybe ?

-He isn't but he could at least stop the water inflow as we try to check the channelling.

Jaejoong hesitated. Should he ? He didn't really wanted to disturb anybody with personal matters. He didn't like it all. And still, it was Yoochun. He saw the man with Junsu too much already. He came over to walk him to work every time and was going back with him too. They were also going out frequently and when not, he was staying for dinners, lunches and breakfasts. And since now he and Yunho were recovered friends, he was now also meeting him sometimes, unwillingly, around the campus. Jaejoong didn't believe someone could invade his life so much in few months and he was still uncomfortable and suspicious with him. Even more because when he wasn't here, Junsu and Yunho ganged up on him, saying at every occasion how perfect the man was.

-Hyung, more help can't be neglected right now.

-I'll call Yunho.

-Yoochun is nearer.

-Yunho is my best friend.

-Yoochun is mine.

-What ?! Jaejoong eyes widened.

He simply couldn't believe. He knew Yunho since what felt like forever and it took him years to win the 'best friend' status. And Junsu had been also spending a lot of time with Yunho and never thought about calling him this way. How could this guy become so important suddenly ?as if he was destined to be loved by everybody.

Junsu didn't focused much on his 'revelation' like Jaejoong did. The eldest didn't want to blurt it out, but he was jealous. Jealous to this man who could be so friendly with every one. Jealous to see how all people where attracted to his smile. And moreover jealous to see Junsu offer his attention to someone else.

Many times, when muffled under his blanket, he thought that he and Yoochun could have been good friends. From the time he spent with him _against his will_ he noticed how they liked the same things and had this deep common love for music. He knew it probably since the first time they met. During those nights, he couldn't help but think that if it wasn't for Junsu, they would be the perfect buddies, just like he would have been Yunho's lover long time ago. Junsu had always been the most important one for him and forever will. All his life long, he had been the only one for the younger. His model, his friend, his confidant, his brother...

It had been his happiness through all the hardship and deep in his heart, he hoped it could last forever. He didn't want anyone to provoke the change.

Sat on the verge of the bathtub and eyes lost somewhere near Junsu's moving shadow, Jaejoong shook his feet to pull off some water.

The doorbell rung, he looked up, already guessing who the guest was. He wasn't really sure it was a good moment for such meeting. He didn't know how to take Junsu's news and his own sticky feelings. He sighed and stood up, heading to the entrance. He opened the door and forced a smile_ just in case_.

As excepted, he saw Yoochun. His smile fell but Yoochun didn't notice. Instead he looked at him up and down. Hair dripping and shirt moi
