Youngjae groaned as he placed the last box to settle in his new home, in Busan

He had just moved to the place about a few hours ago but was utterly disappointed that his Bestfriend, Daehyun wasn't there to welcome him, as to Daehyun already lived in Busan

Daehyun only gave him the address of the place where he was going to be staying, but nothing more.. He didn't exactly gave him a note or atleast something to remind Youngjae that he was atleast guided or going to be accompanied when in Busan. He wasn't one bit familiar of the place, all he knows is 'There are Beautiful beaches and Daehyun lives here' But to him, that was enough to hold in to and motivate him to live in Busan.

Why You ask?

The answer is simple

He Loves Daehyun.

Well why wouldn't he? His bestfriend was the definition of perfect, with his sunkissed skin, plump lips, fit body, sparkly eyes, toothy smile and perfect personality, there was no question to it. He was perfect.. Well atleast in Youngjae's eyes..

But despite all of these, he just didn't have the heart to confess.
This has been going on for years now and he was starting to think it was unhealthy to keep it limited only to himself

He tiredly stretched and took a short nap before unpacking

He started to unpack. He smiled at every valuable item he came across with...

He was about to put his folded clothes into the closet but something had caught his eyes the minute he opened it

There layed an intruiging yellow box with a heart shaped lock

He slowly lifted it up to eye level, only to observe the breathtaking bedazzlement of the box

"Didn't Daehyun say this place was new and had no past owners?" he questioned himself

Out of curiousity he swiftly put the box down and started searching for a key

Why you ask?

Simple

because, he's Youngjae and Youngjae loves solving mysteries

"If I had a lock, where would I hide the key?" he asked himself
in between of searching for the key

"If it were me...I'd hide it in the nearest possible hiding place to where the lock was..hmmnn.."

his eyes landed on the closet again

"That's it!"

he swiftly plopped up his step stool and placed it by the closet

He was a bit afraid since his step stool was higher than average step stools

But nothing beats the power of curiousity! not even fear

So he got up his step stool and stood by the highest it could take him.. it was enough to let him to  atleast be able to peek of the closet's top and he swears, this is the highest closet he's seen in all his 21 years of living

He internally squirmed in glee as the heart shaped key came to view

Grabbing it quickly by hand, he happily celebrated by gleefully jumping

"I've done it again! haha I'm the smartest person alive!!"

well atleast not smart enough to jump around on the highest point of the step stool

losing his balance, he tried miserably to regain it, but failed anyways

He probably hit his head when falling down, just enough to let him black out on the cold hard floor

~~~~~

He woke up feeling a huge pang on his head but strangely, he wasn't as stiff as he thought he would be from blacking out on the floor, but then again, he wasn't on the floor, he was on the fluffy bed

"How did I end up here?" arrays of questions raced in his head, but he rested his curiousity the moment he spotted the key still nicely held on his left hand

it's funny how he didn't drop it

He ignored the his spinning head and got out of bed

Grabbing the box, he sat down on the chair of his study table and unlocked it

He waited anxiously before he excitedly opened it

He groaned in frustration

"Out off all the things that could have been inside here, it just had to be a JIGSAW PUZZLE!!!"

truthfully, Youngjae hated jigsaw puzzles, he thought they were irrelevant, had no use nor purpose at all, like there's no point of solving it, no gain, only pain and frustration.. What's worse is that his head was spinning like crazy and what's even worst is that he felt like crying from the absence of Daehyun's presence

Even though he just moved in, this morning, he really wanted to explore the place, but he couldn't just go out alone, without Daehyun. He could get kidnapped! or even worse, ! with that beautiful flawless face of his, there's no doubt in that
he thought

He tiredly set the puzzle aside. It was already past noon, but he didn't bother getting lunch. He had lost his appetite

he sat down the bed, trying to gather his mind

he felt like an abandoned child, a Daehyunless abandoned child. He just didn't get it. Normally Daehyun would be so hyperactive when told to have a meet up, but he didn't even answer his texts when he said he already arrived,
He was even seened zone on his chat in his SNS accounts

Not finding anything to do at all he decided to pass the time rolling around his fluffy bed, he still question how he had gotten on there awhile ago, when he clearly out on the cold hard floor and not on the warm fluffy bed..but he guesses, some things are better off left unanswered..

He was getting bored real quick so, he decided to check on his SNS..and or maybe, do an attemp to call Daehyun

Call Daehyun, it is..

He dialed his bestfriend's number and hoped with his fingers crossed to get at least, an answer

The dial tone rang in his ears, a smile crept on his face but soon faded as soon as he heard an annoying voice

"The number you are calling is currently busy, please call again later or leave a message after the bleep"

*Bleeeeep*

"Hi, Daehyun... I'm here now.. You know..in Busan..I thought you were coming to pick me up on the subway, so I waited there..that's probably why I ended up getting to this house at 8 am instead of 6... anyway..I'm still waiting, for you buddy.. where are you?...you haven't answered any of my calls, chats or messages.. I'm scared to go out..because everything's too foreign for me...but.. please come here.. I'm getting lonely... Thanks for the warm welcome by the way.. and goodbye as of now.."

He sighed as he put his phone away.. He didn't mean to sound that bitterly sarcastic at the end, but he just couldn't help but feel mad and left out

Daehyun was the one who invited him to come live in Busan, so they'll be nearer to eachother, but they were nowhere near to eachother at all. Daehyun wouldn't answer any of his calls, and nor was he anywhere to be seen. It was better when he was still in Seoul, at least then they'd talk everyday, and Daehyun would visit him anytime he could

But now, that wasn't happening at all. His expectations of spending time with Daehyun, every second were now shreded into a million pieces, burned even..

He sighed again, trying to figure out what to do, until his eyes landed on the Jigsaw puzzle

"It couldn't hurt to solve it..
right? afterall I have nothing to do.."

So he sat on the desk where he placed the box, and plopped up all the pieces there.. There where probably around 150+ pieces or maybe even 200.. so This wouldn't take too much time to solve

and so he started..

~~~~~~
with every piece that he managed to place on the proper area, he couldn't help but feel anxious.. this was no ordinary Jigsaw Puzzel..it was far from ordinary.

As he put the last piece down, his heart pounded so fast it felt like it was going to break his rib cage and fly away..

The image the Jigsaw Puzzle portrayed was exactly the scene he was in right now, looking at the jigsaw puzzle, even his clothes and position were percise.. but that wasn't why his heart was palpitating.. He was papitating because of the figure with a bouquet of flowers in his hands that was behind him in the jigsaw puzzle...

He slowly turned his head

"suprise?" the figure spoke

He got up from his seat and rushed to give the figure a tight squiz, and he didn't carre that his tears were forming a waterfall

"PABO YAH!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!!"

"I'm here to tell you, I Love you, not as a bestfriend...but more than that.."

Youngjae tightened his grip on the latters body

"Y-You mean that?"

"Of course I do! you wouldn't think I'd go through the hassle of preparing this whole plan for nothing, right?"

"I Love you too, Daehyun.."

"Woah...I didn't expect that..."

"Pabo yah... I've loved you for years now!"

" That's something that never even entered my thoughts"

"Okay..now I need to know where were you all these times?"

"I was always here Youngjae, you just didn't see me.. I even tuck you in bed when I caught you out on the floor.."

"Well that explains it! so you set all these up just for me? you love me that much?"

"Of course I do.. I'll do anything for you.."

"Then why didn't you pick me up on the sub-way?.."

Daehyun looked uncomfortable with the question but Youngjae hadn't expect him to
lean close , close enough for their nose to meet

"I'm sorry I couldn't show up there and I made you wait, even when you got here...but, no matter what has happened, I wan't you to know and always keep in mind..I Love you, Jae.."

And he sealed their lips, oh how perfect the kiss was.. Youngjae had dreamed for this a long long time now..he closed his eyes to absolutely feel the pleasure and love that Daehyun was currently showering him with

The kiss got deeper and the deeper it got, the more Daehyun got pleasure, the more he got pleasure, the more he grew impatient

he clasped Youngjae's balled fists in his own hands and pinned them on the wall just above the latters head

Youngjae's breath hitched when Daehyun started nibbling his neck , all the way to his collar bone

He tried with every strength in his petite body not to let out a moan

But of course, he failed

"D-Dae h-hyun.. s-stop.."

he let out, causing Daehyun to look at him confusely for a minute, before getting into another more heated kiss

Youngjae couldn't keep up anymore. Daehyun was practically his lips for an entrance.. but no matter how much he wanted to allow the latter in ..he just couldn't help to think... 'this isn't right'

He pushed Daehyun slightly, before wiping his lips with the remaining saliva that was drooping off of his chin

"S-stop... This isn't right.."

"What's the matter Youngjae? don't you want me?"

"I don't want you, I love you!.."

"Then I don't see why I'm not allowed to do those things.."

"This isn't you, Daehyun.. You'd never do this.."

"Then what would I do, Youngjae?"

"I-I don't know, cuddle and watch a movie with me in the couch or something..."

"Then since you think I'd do that.. Then let's do that right now..."

and so they made their way into the couch, to watch a movie that both of them knew they weren't gonna pay attention to.

They shared eachothers warmth, or at least Youngjae shared his warmth, because Daehyun was cold as hell..

"Hey...Dae... Can I ask you something?..."

"You already are.. and yes, yes you can.."

"How did you make that Jigsaw puzzle so accurate..I'm quiet sure that's nearly impossible.."

Daehyun didn't answer, he just stared at the T.V screen

Youngjae's ears poked up to the sound of his cell phone ringing

He picked it up

He became anxious to hear a woman's voice, crying

"W-Who is this?"

"Y-Youngjae.. It's me, Daehyun's Mom.."

"Mrs.Jung, what's the matter?"

"Y-You have to come to the hospital quick.. They recently just uncovered a car accident... My son.. Daehyun... He's gone..."

Youngjae couldn't believe what he was hearing

"W-what do you m-mean?"

"They said the car malfunctioned.. It crashed down the railing of a cliff and broke it.. the car fell... Youngjae...Daehyun's gone...the last things he said to me was, "Goodbye mom, I'm gonna go fetch Youngjae in the subway..I Love you.."

He could tell the huge amount of pain she was undergoing just through the sound of her voice

"Mrs. Jung..There must be a misunderstanding... Daehyun's with me, and we're watching 'The maze runner'... h-he's not dead.."

He looked over to Daehyun who now had all his attention to the T.V screen

"N-no Youngjae... I saw him.. they were able to retrieve the body and the car! My son is G-gone.."

"I-I'm sorry Mrs.Jung.. but I cannot say I believe you.. he's sitting right next to me..."

"Youngjae please, believe me.. please come to the Hospital..please.. My son would like it.."

"If you don't believe me, then I'll prove it!"

He took a picture of Daehyun calmly watching the show, and press send to Daehyun's mom

"See, I told you, he's here!"

it took a moment before Youngjae heard a loud scream from the other line of the phone

"Youngjae! There's no one there!!"

"wha-"

he looked at the photo he took,  and his eyes widdened in horror, there really was no one there...

Youngjae hung up

~~~~~~

He needed to make sure.. he just needed to make sure

Youngjae crept nearer beside Daehyun as, Daehyun wrapped his cold hands around his waist

Youngjae properly positioned his head on top of Daehyun's left chest

He just needed to make sure

He pressed his ear into his bestfriend's chest

Nothing

No heart beat

Just Nothing but pure silence

He stayed there waiting

but it just wouldn't make a sound

and before he knew it, hot tears were ramaging down his cheeks

"Youngjae..don't cry..."

Youngjae had enough

he agressively got up from their position

"How could you?!! How could you die?!! Why did you leave me?!!"

Daehyun kept a straight face, before soflty smiling at Youngjae who was now drowning in tears

"I never left you.. I was always here, remember?"

"Liar!! Why would you do this to me Daehyun?! Why? Damn it! Why?! "

Daehyun cupped Youngjae's raging hand with his own, and tenderly rubbed it

"Because... I Love You..."

Youngjae jumped on him, to give him the tightest hug he could offer, but it wasn't warm at all..

"I-I Love you too!!"

He felt a pair of plump lips on his forehead, as a gentel hand carressed his hair

"I made the Jigsaw Puzzle for you.. so you wouldn't forget me.. you can break it and reassemble it again, and everytime you do, a different scene will appear.. That scene would be the scene in the exact position you are when assembling it, and you'll be able to see me with you... because I'm always here.."

"O-okay..."

"Now that You know what to do.. I think it's time to say goodbye.. you might not see me, but I'm always here..."

He pressed his finger on Youngjae's chest to where his heart was beating deep down below

"I Love You, Jae... "

Maybe Jigsaw puzzles weren't that bad afterall..
