When yoochun and jaejoong came back to class -after the first period was over- yoochun looked like he was crushed while jaejoong looked way better than how he looked that morning …

As soon as jaejoong stepped into the class room yunho looked at him and smiled a small unnoticeable- but to jaejoong -smile ..they are closer …way closer than ever …

jaejoong looked away from yunho and smiled a small smile …he should not let anyone see them exchanging smiles …

jaejoong looked at risa who was coming closer to him while saying :

"for god sake where did you two disappear to ?"

Aya murmured behind her:

"don’t you know yoochun"

Then she looked at yoochun and said :

"how did things go ? is jaejoong ok ?"

Yoochun smiled a dead smile and said :

"yeah..ok.."

"yoochun what is wrong with you ?"

"nothing …im just alittle bit tired "

So said yoochun then walked to his seat ,sat down and looked at yunho to be surprised by yunho looking at him in the same time with a huge victorious smile on his face ..

yoochun felt anger ..anger and helplessness he didn’t feel since he was a kid …he felt tears filling his eyes but he didn’t allow them to fall but burred his head in his arms and pretended to be sleeping…

jaejoong took his seat behind yunho without saying a word to him ..they done enough talking last night …

Flash back :

Jaejoong laid on the couch and stretched his tired body then sighed in relaxation and said :

"its been a very long time since I came to this place "

yunho smiled and said :

"then you can understand why im mad at you "

yunho lifted jaejoong's legs with one hand,sat down and put jaejoong's legs in his lap while putting the cup of tea in his other hand on the table next to jaejoong …jaejoong got up after two minutes to sit next to yunho and wrap his arms around yunho's waist then said :

" but you really surprised me yun chan ..i mean I know you are very good in what you do but for me to get back to you in the same day ..its was just amazing "

"I wont lie to you ..it took a lot of work form me and top too …"

"top..is he ok ?"

"yes his Coma will take time "

"did he use this much of magic ?"

"he used a lot of magic that doesn’t belong to this world ..i also did …truthfully he would be fine after alittle bit of rest no need for the coma "

"then why ?"

yunho smirked and said :

"to piss off that and make her panic ..she doesn’t know that he is sleeping in a coma I put him in she will think he is almost dead because of all the magic he used and will think that she was killing him with her own hands "

jaejoong smiled …atleast he is just playing with her nervous he thought he would kill her …

yunho brushed jaejoong's hair out of his eyes and said seriously :

"but we have to hurry up jaejoong "

jaejoong looked up at him so he continued :

"things are way more dangerous now "

"what do you mean ? because of the kidnapping thing ?"

"not because of the kidnapping it self but because of what it tells us "

yunho reached for the tea cup and handed it to jaejoong then said :

" magicians are starting to pay more attention to the painting …I was the fastest to find out that its still useable but they are catching on so we need to hurry up "

"I thought they were not coming after the painting because of the rule that the magic dies with the death of the magician that created it "

"something like that doesn’t stand in the face of the new magicians..if they couldn’t use it atleast they will study it and try to make another one like it "

"and that is what you were going to do yun chan ?"

yunho smirked and said :

"no ofcourse I have my own methods "

jaejoong's eyes were filled with amazement while looking at yunho who continued after seeing that look in jaejoong's eyes :

"the only problem is ..umm..take for example that cleaner that helped lahi in kidnapping you …"

"what about him ?"

"he was the one who did the kidnapping since lahi was standing with us the whole time ..but the kidnapping was too weird "

"what do you mean ?"

yunho put his arm around jaejoong's waist and said :

"I have you under 200 protection spells ..27 of them are strong enough by themselves .."

jaejoong's eyes widened and he thought ' when did he do all that????'

yunho continued after taking a sip of jaejoong's tea cup :

" leaving alone the fact that those are very complicated and strong spells I should have felt each one of them while breaking but I didn’t ..i only felt alittle dizzy and just one time "

"what does that mean ?"

yunho bit his lower lip- something he caught from jaejoong- and had a very dangerous look in his eyes then said :

"that means that bastard broke all the spells in one go "

jaejoong sat up straight and said :

"is that possible ?"

"I guess.. but its almost impossible "

yunho gulped and said :

"he was that strong "

"but a magician with all this power and he had lahi with him ..how were you able to get me back from them ???..and that fast too !!"

yunho smiled and said :

"that is why you see me and top this exhausted …but it seems that his specialty was breaking spells ..his other skills were good but not as good as his skills in breaking the spells and that is why we were able to defeat him ..anyway ..jaejoong.."

yunho leaned closer to jaejoong ..so close that their noses almost touched and said in small voice :

"that is why we have to hurry up ..alot of powerful magicians are starting to pay attention to the painting "

jaejoong gulped while half listening to yunho and half watching his lips while talking ..yunho noticed that so he got abit closer to jaejoong then took the tea cup and sipped from it ,smiled and said :

"actually I was thinking of making you drop this mission and continue alone since its getting too dangerous but .."

He kissed jaejoong's red cheek and said :

"we are partners ..we agreed I wont make decisions without asking you first "

jaejoong his lips while looking up at yunho and said :

"ofcourse I wont agree to leave this to you alone ..and you are not my boss to take me off the job "

yunho smirked and said :

"then what am I ?"

jaejoong looked away ignoring the question and said :

"look I know it’s a dangerous game and you know I was only working too slowly because I didn’t want to scare or drive away yoochun but we are really close and I cant leave the ball when im this close to the goal .."

"but it’s a very dangerous game jaejoong"

jaejoong looked at yunho with a red face and said :

"you are here to protect me "

jaejoong smiled at yunho whose eyes widened then he pulled jaejoong closer to him and said :

"yes im here to protect you ..i wont let anything bad happens to you "

End of flash back

Jaejoong looked at yoochun thinking :

'forgive me my friend ..i was so harsh on you and I will keep pushing you from now on ..but that is only beause we don’t have much time left ..im sorry ..'

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

 The school day was over with no change ..everyone stayed in their places  with not much of words exchanged ..even in breaks they didn’t move …when the school day over aya got up and went to yoochun saying :

"lets go "

He looked up and said :

"you go home I will go with yunho and jaejoong today"

She raised her eyebrow and said :

"HUH?"

He got up fast and said :

"aya if you don’t leave me alone now I will break up with you "

Aya's and jaejoong's eyes got wide ..aya was about to yell something when risa pushed her by her shoulders saying :

"ok yoochun take care of jaejoong.. me and aya will be going now "

And she got out of the door closing it behind them…

jaejoong looked at yoochun and said :

"is that ok ?"

Yoochun looked at the door then back at jaejoong and nodded then got up ,went to yunho's seat and said :

"we need to talk "

yunho looked him in the eye and said :

"whenever you want im ready "

"lets go to my house now ..the three of us "

yunho smirked and said :

"are you sure that this is safe ?"

"you know my house you played with me in my house and outside of it ..yeah its safe …lets go I want to end this "

yunho nodded and jaejoong got up held yoochun's hand and squeezed it then said :

"I will be with you "

yoochun nodded and they went to yoochun's home ….

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

yunho said while sitting on the sofa :

"so ? why did you ask me to come to your house ?"

yoochun gulped and said :

"you want the painting right ?"

"yes …and one more thing"

"what is that ?"

"jaejoong"

"huh???"

Said both jaejoong and yoochun ..yunho smiled and said :

"I know aya told you jaejoong's story …jenna's "

jaejoong's eyes widened …yoochun looked at him and said :

"yes she told me ..she told me everything ..im so sorry jaejoong..all of this happened because of me "

"because of you ?"

"yeah …I mean aya was rude and harsh to you because you wanted to be my friend …its all because of me ..because of me you had to turn from a girl to a boy "

"its not your fault …and me being a former girl doesn’t bother you ?"

"some how no ..i just feel sorry that I didn’t meet you when you were in need of a good friend ..maybe then .."

"don’t think of "if" and "maybe" ..what happened happened …and if I didn’t turn to a guy I wouldn’t have met you or …risa "

"so you really love risa ? even though you were a girl?"

"yes …when I changed everything about me changed ..i mean even my personality was roughed up "

yunho coughed and said :

"all of that you two can talk about while im not here …back to the painting and jaejoong"

yoochun was about to say something when jaejoong cut him and said :

"why do you need the painting for ?"

"the painting can make me travel to other worlds…im sick of this world ..im sick of the world of evil and devils disguised as humans ..i want to travel to another world …and that painting can help me do that "

Yoochun was shocked ..somehow he thought the painting would be more …evil?..and yunho too ..what he talked about was something yoochun wished for  for a very long time … yoochun said :

"and jaejoong? Why do you need jaejoong for ?"

"I don’t need him .,..i want him ..he was my friend for long time and only turned to my enemy because of misunderstanding and to tell the truth I like jaejoong so much and I don’t want him to suffer in this world any longer so ..i want to take him to another world with me "

 Yoochun looked at jaejoong who looked down at his lap ..yoochun reached for jaejoong's hand ,squeezed it and said :

"what do you want jaejoong?"

jaejoong said in a small voice :

"I don’t know ..i don’t know what I want ..i don’t know if I want to go …but it will be nice to be away from this world ..but then ..i will miss you and risa …you became my friends ..my best friends "

yunho said :

"that is aside for now ..lets get back to the painting issue…i want it "

"I will give it to you ..but you have to stop doing all this ..i don’t want to see you or the painting ever again "

"you wont see me again …"

"then lets go together now …I will give you the painting .."

 Yunho nodded and when they got up jaejoong said :

"NO ..stop …"

Both looked back at jaejoong and he said :

"in..in the letter yoochun's dad left …he said to yoochun to keep the painting away from humans ..not to show it to humans …he is a magician ..maybe what he said means something "

Both yoochun and yunho nodded and sat back down …yoochun said :

"if I worked with you yunho on the painting and helped you with it ..would you promise not to hurt me or jaejoong or anyone around us …and then the subject of jaejoong leaving with you will be decided by jaejoong himself ..???"

yunho was silent for alittle while then he said :

"ok then …you help me in this and I promise not to hurt you or anyone near you or jaejoong and when we are done  I will take the painting and disappear that is after jaejoong decide if he wants to come with me or not "

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

Aya was mad …she was really mad …her hands were shaking and she was clearly about to kill someone …

Risa took a sip from the coffee she ordered and said to aya :

"your coffee is getting cold "

"I don’t need coffee right now "

Risa nodded and called the waiter asking him if he has anything to calm nervous …any drink .. he nodded and left …

Risa sighed and said :

"calm down already ..you put your self in that position "

"WHAT DID I DO ?"

"aya lower your voice we are at a coffee shop "

Aya bit her lip then said with tight clenched teeth :

" what did I do ?"

"he said he will leave with yunho and jaejoong ..you saw what happened last night ..why did you snap at him ?"

"I told him a lot of things last night and I thought he would understand after thinking of them for sometime but then he ..he said …he …"

And for the first time in her life risa saw aya's tears …aya said with angry broken voice :

"he said he would break up with me ..so easily he said he would break up with me …he doesn’t love me anymore ..i made a mistake when I told him last night ..i made a mistake ..ofcourse knowing he was a girl he would fall in love with him "

Risa dropped the cup that was in her hand and said :

"who was a girl ? what are you talking about ? …aya TELL ME WHO WAS A GIRL ??"
