The four walked to school together ..there was a weird atmosphere between them ..jaejoong was nervous because of risa and risa was shy of jaejoong and mad at aya while aya was mad at her and worried about yoochun and yoochun was thinking about yunho and the letter …

Risa was walking in the front behind her was jaejoong and behind him yoochun and aya ..jaejoong was thinking how he can be alone with yoochun with aya around ….

He sighed ..maybe risa was trying to help him but all she did was making aya more crazy  and paranoia ..he looked at risa ahead of him ..she was a simple girl ..the ends of her hair were light in color ..maybe she once dyedher hair a lighter color ..she had a simple pink ribbon in her hair …why did he blush when she was talking to him .. why was his heart beating so fast ?...was he really that happy that someone other than yunho was having some interst in him and how he feels ?....

He was surprised with aya walking past him ,grabbing risa's arm and pulling her ahead while yelling to them that they will go to school ahead then she looked back at him and said :

"im warning you "

"yes yes "

Poor risa ~ so thought jaejoong but he couldn’t have wished for a better chance to stay alone with yoochun..yoochun came to stand next to him and said :

"that’s great I didn’t think that we would be able to stay alone without suffering "

Then he looked at jaejoong and said smiling :

"now what ?"

Then he looked down and said :

"the letter still with you ?"

"yeah I have it with me "

jaejoong reached for the letter in his pocket but yoochun stopped him and said :

"no need ..i understood everything in it  "

He sighed looking at the sky and said :

"I understood that dad was a magician and that makes yunho a magician like him and that painting like I thought is something important "

He smiled a mock smile and said :

"I mean he killed himself because he failed at protecting it …but …"

"what?"

"but I don’t understand ..if dad was a magician why did he use something like secret ink and didn’t use magic in writing the letter ?"

jaejoong smiled thinking that he wondered the same thing about yunho alot when he used methods like this …he said :

"mostly I think he did that so you could read the letter …I mean that if he wrote the it with magic you wouldn’t be able to break the magic and read it "

yoochun was convinced ..

"you are right "

jaejoong gulped and said :

"what are you going to do with the letter ?"

"I don’t know but I know I want to do something that will bother dad ..imagine after all now he wants to tell me who to be with and who not to be with "

"I don’t think its like that ..he just wants to make sure the painting is safe he did say that people might follow you because of it..though he did say he doesn’t think they will  but maybe like being careful is a must "

Yoochun sighed and jaejoong asked him interestingly:

"did you feel anyone weird trying to get close to you or someone new wanting to be your friend ?"

yoochun thought for a moment then said :

"even if there was ..i mean look at yunho he didn’t do that ..he didn’t even try to be my friend but he used my friendship with you "

He looked away from jaejoong and said in small voice :

"I will never forgive him "

jaejoong's heart felt weird ..he was happy because of what yoochun said but also very much feeling guilty for deceiving him …but he is now at the point of no return …

yoochun then looked back at jaejoong and said :

"but that explains a lot of things "

"you mean the tricks he used like hiding your house and the blood etc ?"

"yes ..and also I was thinking.."

Yoochun looked in jaejoong's eyes and said :

"yunho was the one who said to aya that we slept in the same bed last night ..i was wondering how he knew that "

jaejoong was surprised that yoochun was following each event and trying to make sense of it ..yoochun continued while looking thoughtful:

"but I wonder ..if he knew all this things why cant he figure out where the painting was ?"

jaejoong said carefully :

"you think yunho wants to know where the painting is ?"

"isn’t this the only way all of this makes sense ? I mean he mentioned dad and the painting and dad talked about magicians who will come after the painting and yunho is a magician ..and so everything connects in my head atleast "

jaejoong gulped and said :

"and you know where the painting is ?"

"ofcourse ..i put it there ..want to take a look ?"

'I advice you not to do so jaejoong sama'

jaejoong looked away from yoochun ..

'top ??'

'yes sir ..i am sorry for interrupting but ..'

"jaejoong whats wrong ?"

jaejoong looked at yoochun ..oh that is right ..he is talking to top while yoochun is right infront of him ..he never did that before ..he said smiling :

"i..umm let me think or a minute"

He then looked away and said to top in his head :

'what is this timing top ?'

'sorry sir but I was afraid you might agree and go see the painting'

'and why not?'

'sir I know we need the painting fast and all but ichiro was a very powerful and professional magician and so you must be careful of his words and he did say"keep it away from human eye" '

' you are saying its better for me not to see it because im human ?'

'exactly sir ..ichiro's letter is important ..every word of it so we should be careful'

' then what can we do ? yunho too is a human'

Top smirked and said:

'I don’t see anyway out of this except to let someone not human handle it for now '

jaejoong rised an eyebrow but top continued right away :

'but I see we leave that decision to yunho sama'

'ok ..tell him about all of this'

'yes sir'

'and also ..say hi to yunho for me and tell him I missed him '

Top smiled and said :

'yes sir'

jaejoong then looked back at yoochun (ofcourse no mater how long jaejoong's and top's conversation was  it only takes seconds in the real word ) then said :

"I don’t think I should see the painting now ..i mean I am curious to see it but also I don’t think you should get it out  ..i mean who knows yunho might be watching "

Yoochun smiled and said :

"ok"

Then they continued their walk back to school …

********************

Risa and aya walked together for some time without either of them saying one word …risa then said :

"so what is it you want aya ?"

"you!!.."

So said aya while standing in risa's way then she continued :

"top really managed to play with your mind didn’t he?"

"top?"

"yes top is the only change between last night and this morning ..you were the last girl he drove home and today you are acting weird …what did he say to you ?"

Risa looked at aya for a minute then she pushed her away gently and continued walking while saying :

"he didn’t say anything"

"what did he say ?"

"I told you nothing ..atleast nothing you should know "

"I wan to know ..tell me risa"

Aya pulled her by her arm and so risa stopped while sighing then she said :

"we talked about jaejoong"

"what did he say to you about jaejoong ?"

"Why do you want ot know that you don’t like jaejoong "

"but he is now yoochun's friend ..you must have talked about yoochun while talking about him "

"we didn’t"

"WHY ARE YOU MAD THEN?WHAT HAPPENED ? WHY WOULD YOU SUDJECT SOMETHING AS DANGEROUS AS THEM STAYING HOME ALONE ?"

"dangerous ? to who aya ?"

Risa held aya by her arm and continued :

"I love jaejoong like you love yoochun ..but yoochun and jaejoong being together doesn’t bother me but makes me happy ..it makes me happy to know that the boy I love and my best friend are friends what is wrong with that ?"

"that is because you don’t know jaejoong"

"what do you know about him ??"

"more than what YOU do"

"THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM HERE !!!"

That was the first time risa yells like that …she continued trying to calm herself :

"you don’t know what is in his mind or heart you only see what you want to see ..top told me "

She gulped and continued:

"how jaejoong went through a lot of hardships through his life ..how people hurt him all the time …in school and outside of it …"

Aya's eyes widened yes she knows that ..actually she is one of those people who hurt him out side of school…risa continued :

"and how me being there with him might help him since im the first girl he falls in love with ..and so I will stand by his side ..his ,yoochun's and mine …"

Aya looked at her with no words said ..risa smiled then continued :

"and yours too aya …I don’t want jaejoong to leave me for yoochun too aya "

"and you see leaving them together alone is safe ?"

"I am giving them the freedom to act like friends ..you repeating the same thing will put the idea in their heads and you don’t know you might make them see what they were not seeing "

Aya looked at risa with terror in her eyes …no she didn’t want that ..and she never thought her actions might lead to that …

She sighed while thinking …well she didn’t really KNOW  that jaejoong still in love with yoochun..maybe he really does love risa ..maybe he really just want to be friends with yoochun …maybe …she didn’t know ..

She looked up at risa …is it possible that he really did change ? that he buried jenna and starting over as jaejoong ? that he loves risa and wants to be just friends with yoochun ?...

But she is aya ..even if she was convinced with what risa said she cant show that  so she said :

"ok ..how about we do a test? "

"test ?"

"yes.. I will leave them alone for a while and see if that will make yoochun come back to us "

Risa looked at aya nervously and said :

"wait ..i didn’t say that will make yoochun come back to us ..i just meant to give them some freedom "

"you are backing off from the start ?"

"im not ..but.."

Risa thought about this ..it might not be strange that jaejoong and yoochun sticking together like this is a reaction to aya's constant nagging ..and maybe if aya backed off then maybe yoochun and jaejoong will start to hang out less and she gets to spend more alone time with jaejoong and then everyone wins and she proves she is right ..this is worth trying out …

She smiled and said :

"ok lets do it "
