Chapter Two
I Want it All
"Okay, so let me try and get this straight," a laughing voice on the other end of his cell said, "you believe you've fallen for this kid when you know nothing about him and he's ten year younger than you? Do you know how gross that sounds?"
"Oh, shut up, will you?" Yunho hissed into the receiver before exhaling heavily, "yes, that's what I think, and I know. Anyways, I spoke to the woman in charge there and she said he's been there the majority of his life. Can you imagine, Yoochun! Living in that sort of place for six years..."
"Well, maybe it's not as bad as you think it is -- Maybe he likes it there..."
"How could a sweet little boy like Jaejoong enjoy living there? The place is a mess, the staff are horrible, and the kids are rude. I even had to bribe the lady with a date so she would tell me how old he was!"
"Are you actually going to keep your word and go on the date?"
"Ew, no."
"."
"Whatever. Chun, I need to help him. I need to get him out of there... that kind of environment isn't good for a growing boy, especially at his age..."
Silence.
"Please, please, Yunho, don't tell me you're considering what I think you are..."
"What's so wrong with it?"
"Your parents will kill you!"
"They don't care what I do; I live on my own, I have a well paying job, I'm getting my degree... I'm already fulfilling all their wishes!"
"That's right, man -- you have school and work. How are you going to take care of him?"
"That's where you come in."
Another prolonged silence and then, finally, a defeated sigh. The one standing in front of the orphanage smiled with victory.
"I'm adopting him. Today. How do you like the sound of Jung Jaejoong?"
The other line gave a long beeping signal -- A sign that the other hung up. Yunho smiled like a cheshire.
"He likes it."
