It's been 6 months since the Taemin incident and Yunho and Jaejoong's relationship has improved to say the least. Thanks to a real life cupid named Changmin, the couple had gotten closer. 

Yunho had been forward as usual, professing his love and flirting with Jaejoong every chance he got. As for Jaejong, he was warming up. Especially within the past four months since Jaejoong began working again. 

Jaejoong's father had been telling him that he should resume working since Changmin spends more time with Jung Halmeoni. He always knew that Jaejoong wanted to go the city to work and be independent and since Changmin was a pretty self-sufficient baby, he wanted Jaejoong to fulfill his dreams even if it was by a little.

That however, wasn't the only reason. After what happened with Taemin, Jaejoong found the need to have Yunho under his nose while he's in the office. Call him an overreacting wife if you will, but Jaejoong doesn't care. He trained under Yunho for a bit before joining Yunho's old department while also working as a liason between the finance people and the president. He didn't want to go to his old department because it would be awkward for him.

Nevertheless, Jaejoong seemed to spend more time with the president than with the finance people. He kept nagging Yunho to eat and helped reduce his workload. When Yunho would have to go out of office, Jaejoong would function as a substitute president. The two would go to work together, drop off Changmin at the Jung manor, have dinner with the Jung matriarch after work and the family of three would return to their house.

Over this routine, Jaejoong's feelings for Yunho grew. It wasn't the same he felt for Ilwoo. It was different, warm and growing. Jaejoong knew he was now responding to Yunho's love. It may not be as great as overt as Yunho's, but they were undeniable. Jaejoong wanted to confess but he didn't know how. He does know though, that it shold be soon. Changmin is growing up and he might find their relationship odd if Jaejoong is cold to Yunho and besides being married, Jaejoong's belief was that as a wife, he should treat his husband so indifferently for so long.

Jaejoong made up his mind to confess his love to Yunho today. That's why he's making a special bento for the occassion.

"Jaejoongieee!" Yunho came whining to the kitchen. "I got a call from Jeju. There;s a problem." Jaejoong's face fell. "So you have to go?" Jaejoong tried not to show his dejection.

Yunho looked at the bento Jaejoong is packing. "Don't worry Boo. I'll be back by evening. I can't miss our baby's first birthday can I?" Jaejoong mentally hit himself. He was so preoccupied with himself, Changmin's birtday and the elaborate birthday plans by his grandparents slipped Jaejoong's mind.

"Appa...." The couple turned to the source of the small voice. Changmin was wobbling into the kitchen while yawning and rubbing sleep from his eyes. He went and leaned against Yunho's leg and closed his eyes, half asleep while standing. 

"Aigoo~ Minnie-yah!" Yunho picked him up and let him lean his head against his chest but changmin was awake now and fighting sleep.

"Look at you. Not even one yet and already climbing out of your crib." Jaejoong gave Changmin a good morning kiss. "Ready for breakfast?" Changmin nodded. "Will you eat or head to the airport now?" He asked Yunho.

"I have time for breakfast with Minnie." Yunho nuzzled Changmin. "And pack extra food please. I want to eat your meal only." Jaejoong nodded and went back to packing enough for at least three meals while Yunho ate breakfast and fed Changmin at the same time.

"Yunho...." Jaejoong sat in front of the man. Yunho looked at him silently asking him to continue. "Today....actually, when you're back....I want to talk to you."

"Okay." Yunho said like it was no big deal, "There'll not be much time between returning and the party. So, You can tell me after the birthday party." 

"No!" Jaejoong cut in, "Before the party. I need to talk to you before it."

"Ok...ay..." Yunho said slowly, suddenly finding Jaejoong odd. "You can tell me now."

Jaejoong shook his head, "Not the right time. If I tell you know, I'll be restless what you're thinking about what I said while in Jeju and then you'll not focus on work which means you'll not make it on time which brings me to my next point, I want an immediate answer from you when I tell you what I want to tell you because I'll go mad thinking about-"

"Jae! Jae! Jae!" Yunho put a stop to his rambling. He looked at him slightly amused, "I understand and I'll do as you say. But you're so cute right now. Why are you nervous? Is what you're going to say a love confes-"

"Aniyoooo~!" Jaejoong swung his hands wildly in the air. "Don't assume anything because then I'll be worried about meeting your expections. Just be blank, stupid, a white board in an empty classroom of an abandoned school."

Yunho laughed loudly, "All Right Boo. whatever you say. I've to head out now." Yunho kissed Changmin and then went to Jaejoong, "Can't wait to have our talk." Yunho pecked him on the cheek and left.

"Take care." Jaejoong said after him. When he heard the door close, he held the spot on his face Yunho kissed and blushed a bit.

"Umma....Mikki Moush." Changmin asked for his morning Disney dose. Jaejoong took him to the living room and the TV. While Changmin watched his show, Jaejoong nudged him.

"Minnie-yah, you think Appa will be happy if say 'I love you' to him?" Changmin looked at his mother than back at the TV. "Yah! Changmin!" Jaejoong poked his side again. "What will Appa say?"

"I lub ooo." Changmin chirped making Jaejoong surprised. It's the first time he said a sentence. He looked at the TV and there was Prince Mickey proposing to Princess Minnie. Obviously Changmin was imitating the cartoons but Jaejoong could take it as a good sign, right?

"No Halmeoni. There's no need for a chocolate fountain. A simple dinner is fine." Jaejoong entered the lift along with the other staff. "Halmeoni, I've to get to work. We'll talk later and please don't let Minnie dirty his new clothes." After exchanging a few more words, Jaejoong hung up.

"Will you be filling in for the president, Jaejoong-ssi?" Dara, who happened to be in the same elevator asked.

"Yeah. He had to go to Jeju today." Jaejoong replied.

"There's not much work because the president made sure he would be free for the little one's birthday." Dara said referring to Changmin. "you just have to attend a meeting with the advertisers. They're making a pitch for next month's ad campaign." Jaejoong nodded as he took in the information. The elevator dinged, "I have to collect the files from accounts." Dara bowed a bit and Jaejoong returned it. She got off with the rest of the staff on the floor, leaving Jaejoong to ride the elevator to the top floor.

"You have no problem playing president...." Jaejoong was startled by the sudden voice but he quickly composed himself. He wouldn't allow himself to get or even appear affected by Ilwoo.

"It's for a day. Yunho is better suited to the role." Jaejoong said coldly while looking in the front.

"Sure he is." Ilwoo chuckled and Jaejoong had a hard time deciphering if he was being sarcastic or sincere. He stepped closer to Jaejoong and leaned on the wall behind. "Tell me Jaejoong, since I don't believe you actually love him, what do you do when you're...." He leaned near Jaejoong's back and whispered, "frustrated?"

Jaejoong turned around with so fast, Ilwoo backed out quickly before he took a swing at him. Jaejoong glared at him furiously for a brief time before he looked away again. "My love life, bedroom life and married life are between my husband and me. I don't want to talk about anything with you."

"Aw! Where is my darling who asked for me day and night….mostly nights.”
