25. Beyond want and need

Beyond the veil

Junsu sat down and looked at yoochun, he was tired but as yoochun was kneeling in front of him looking at him so lovingly and sweetly he was feeling better now, he just wished he was warm in his and yoochun's bed in their home, in their world, living happily together and preparing the guest room to be a nursery for their baby, junsu missed all that, he missed home so much

'The meal might take while to be ready, kibum is… caught up in something' sungmin whispered as he entered the hall panting, his face was so read and he was sweating even though it was cold, his cloth were a little messed up too, but yoochun blinked not understanding or better say not caring to think about it, and he didn't even notice as sungmin went to stand in the back of the group spacing out, as he was busy taking care of his wife

'It's alright, I'm not hungry' whispered junsu softly

'Hyung!' yunho frowned now ' what are those swords?'

Everyone eyed yoochun, he took a deep breath and sighed, looking at the sword in his hand he began to speak

'The old legends always spoke about two swords, two swords that are so strong, strong beyond anything else, a twin swords that can't defeat each other, united they work as a perfect attack and defense, together they can split the heavens and revive the earth'

'There's no such thing in any of the books in the library' siwon frowned, he read most of the books there so he knew

'I took them off the shelves' yoochun nodded ' I made a secret hideout in the library before vanishing, I hid the books there, they were too dangerous to be left there on the shelves unsupervised and where anyone could reach them… of course the books never said where to find the swords or if they even existed, it just mentioned them and their powers'

'Okay… what're their powers?' yunho frowned looking at his sword

'That one you got is the sword of heaven, it can give a hundred lives back with one strike, it can affect the heavens and the sky, split them in half with its powers' yoochun pointed at yunho's sword

'And this' he held his own sword up ' is the sword of the earth, it can take a hundred lives with one swift, it affects the earth and can revive it'

'Okay… so they're good, but, what're they useful for against that thing?' yunho blinked

'Against the thing maybe not… but…' yoochun frowned a little, he was getting weak, he needed to rest, but he must tell them this, he must hold himself together and tell the rest about this

'Together…' yoochun fought to speak, every word was a battle to let out, he needed rest ' they'll help me find my body ba…ck…' yoochun gave in and vanished, as he did yunho felt dizzy to the point he almost fell on the floor, yoochun was too tired, he could feel it

'Find Chunie's body?' junsu whispered, his heart beating with hope now, find yoochun's body, yoochun's body… soon his husband would be back, really back and they'll be together once again, he couldn't believe himself, he was so happy right now

Yunho looked around, yoochun's sword was left behind, it was hanging in the middle of the hall by itself, and there was this weird column of light around it as if protecting it, yunho couldn't understand anything but the second he let go of his own sword it too became just like yoochun's, in the spot he left it, as if waiting for him to come and grab it back

'Now what?' leeteuk whispered softly, he was happy to know his son will be back now, he was really happy, but at the same time, if yoochun got his body back, then he and junsu will leave, right? He will be left alone here, once again, wondering about his son and what he's doing, wondering about his grandchild and if he was born, will he even know? Will he ever see the baby?

'Let's go have some food, I'm sue kibum got some meals ready by now' kangin whispered seeing how sad his beloved queen was

'I doubt that' mumbled sungmin so softly from behind so no one could hear him, kibum was quiet busy after all

Junsu nodded his head, he looked up to see yunho with his hands around jaejoong's waist, he was telling him about moving into the same bedroom or something, something about making it their own home, kangin was trying to convince leeteuk to eat something, saying that without him smiling the castle is like an empty home and the council had already stood guards around the castle to make sure security was tight

And he, junsu, he was left alone, looking at everyone and wishing he was with like them, with his chunie talking about home, being at home, he didn't know why exactly but he knew he just wanted home, the desire was killing him, he wanted to go home so badly, he didn't want to stay here, maybe it was hormones or something but he was only thinking about being home

Standing up junsu walked out of the hall, no one even noticed him as he walked out, each busy with their lover, and so he walked out and began to stroll some hallways, he didn't know exactly where he was going, this castle's hallways were endless and each time he walked alone he ended up in somewhere knew, but this time junsu didn't even think where he was going, he just turned right and left, walked from one hallway to the other as if he knew exactly where to go to, as if he knew his way around perfectly, and so he found his way in the maze like hallways

Finally, junsu reached a stairway, it was stony and old, it looked weird, like the stairs would break or crack any second if he stepped on them, yet he did, he didn't know why but he knew nothing was to happen and he walked down the stairway to find himself in the garden, but not where he normally walked with the rest, this place was different, it was somehow weird…

Junsu walked around, looking at the flowers and watching the trees, he didn't care about the soft rain, it was actually refreshing, and he wasn't cold, he was dressed warm enough, or was it that it was warmer here than the rest of the castle? Junsu wasn't sure, all he knew was that he walked and walked through the endless trails of tinny grit

Junsu didn't know how much time passed, everything around him was so weird and new that he was too busy looking and exploring to care about the time, it was somehow nice here, walking and walking junsu looked behind, the castle was quiet a distance behind him now but he didn't care, he kept on walking

Soon, junsu blinked, he seemed to reached the end of the garden because there was the castle's high stone fence but there glued to the fence was this stony old room, it was four walls with no door nor windows, it was just like a cube of stone, but somehow, somehow junsu knew something was inside, something important was inside this cube, room or whatever it was

Walking closer to it junsu was about to touch it, he could feel his entire body shiver now as he was so close to touch the stony wall, his fingers millimeters away when something pulled him back harshly

Gasping, junsu turned to look; there was everyone from the council to the king and queen looking at him angrily

'Don't touch that!!' kangin almost yelled at him, junsu gave a startle and looked down; he never liked it when people yelled at him

'Why did you come here? How did you come here?' yunho asked, his tone not better than his father's and now junsu was about to cry

'You must never come here!! You wanted to free it, huh? You wanted to open the chamber!!! That's forbidden!!! Anyone comes here is sentenced to death penalty you know' jaejoong frowned

'Come here' leeteuk frowned and grabbed junsu's hand, together they vanished to reappear in yoochun's bedroom, junsu was shivering now, he hated magic, he didn't want to be near magic being used let alone being the one the magic was used on! Leeteuk didn't seem to care as he hissed ' stay here' and walked out of the bedroom

As he was left alone junsu exploded crying, he hated this, he hated them, what did he do? He just went for a walk; he did nothing bad, but they yelled at him and used magic on him, he wanted home, he wanted home now, he didn't want to stay here, he hated here so much!!

Junsu took his anger on the nearby vase of roses smashing it on the floor, as it fell and the water stained the stony floor making a small pool of water junsu blinked, it felt it and knew it inside of him, he walked to the pool of water and looked, it was his and Chunie's house on the other side, the veil was opened, who did it and how junsu couldn't care less, he didn't even stop to cast the place one last look, he just jumped into the tiny pool of water and felt his body fall through the veil into the other world, into his own world, he was home again, he was home at last…
