Yoochun was trying to read his book on the couch with all the noise Changmin and Junsu made over their video-game. Loud screaming made him stare at the two youngest, but they didn’t care. Changmin was about to defeat his hyung in a car race.

- Yaahh!! - Changmin clenched his teeth and smirked evily.

The entrance door creaked and seconds later, Yunho appeared in the living room, with a sports bag on his back.

- Hey - he greeted them. Only Yoochun greeted back.

Yunho took a quick peek and saw them all.

- Where’s Jaejoongie?

Yoochun closed his book, thinking he wouldn’t be able to read in that room, and stood up from the couch. He got closer to Yunho.

- Hyung is… in the room - he said in a low tone, a bit secretive. - Could you… go talk to him?

Yunho stared at Yoochun feeling uneasy. His face was serious.

- He’s kinda… down - Yoochun said and walked towards his room with the book under his arm.

Yunho dopped his big bag in the hallway in front of Jaejoong’s room and entered. The door was open, and Jaejoong was sitting on his bed, leaned forward, with his elbows on his knees, the head down, his bangs blocking his eyes.

- Hey - said Yunho, he patted Jaejoong’s knee and sat right in front of him.

Jaejoong raised his head and smirked at him briefly. He shook his head a little, to shove away his bangs, sitting straight.

- What is it with you? - Yunho asked, with a smile on his face, trying to guess his real mood. - Mm?

- She dumped me.

Yunho’ s smile sweeped away immediately. Surely Jaejoong was down. He patted his knee again to let him know Jaejoong had his support. Jaejoong’s mouth moved awkwardly and he ended up pouting. Yunho saw a pink tone on his cheek when he looked closer.

- She dumped me. She even slapped me.

Yunho frowned and grabbed Jaejoong’s chin to turn his face and check his cheek.

- Jaejoongie… - Yunho looked worried. He rubbed Jaejoong’s cheek shortly with his thumb.

- Because I said it was no big deal if we didn’t see each other in six months.

Their schedule had been set recently, and it’d be packed for quite a while. Jaejoong had announced he’d be warning his girlfriend about it, but didn’t know exactly how to do it. They often asked for advice among the members. Yoochun, for example, was very good with girls, that’s why.

- Did you use those words? - asked Yunho as he let go of Jaejoong.

Jaejoong pouted and thought about it a second. He opened his mouth trying to recall, and then he clenched his lips and shook his head subtly.

- I told her I didn’t care if I didn’t see her in half a year.

Yunho could only chuckle at Jaejoong’s poor speech. He didn’t think his friend would want to hurt the girl, so he could have picked some other words.

Jaejoong stared at the floor and would glance at Yunho from time to time.

- Cheer up! - asked him Yunho.

Girls weren’t that big a deal for them. Being so busy all the time had stopped them from having meaningful relationships, so even if they liked their girlfriends very much, they were never a big deal. Yunho patted his knee again and squeezed his leg and stood up. Jaejoong stood up right after him and stared at him intensely, with pleading eyes.

- I need you tonight.

Jaejoong said softly, as he grabbed Yunho’s hand tenderly and played with their fingers. His brotherly side appeared, but those kind of words were not that brotherly. The shortest one broke their eye contact and his eyes drifted away, thinking. His dark eyes were so pretty when he did that.

- Alright.

Yunho nodded subtly, and letting go of Jaejoong, went to take a quick shower, leaving him with a slight smile on his face.

Fifteen minutes later, he had come back, wearing his favorite leather jacket. Jaejoong was laid down, face up on his bed, checking his cellphone, but he stopped right away and stood up.

- Come.

Yunho invited him, turning off his own cellphone and putting it in his pocket. Jaejoong grabbed his jacket from the closet and followed Yunho to the entrance door.

- We’re matching leather friends, baby. - Jaejoong said, jokingly, as he giggled.

Yunho smiled, seeing Jaejoong was not so down anymore.

- Where are you going?

Asked Yoochun from the couch. He had give up on reading his book and he was watching Junsu and Changmin play.

- Aw- We… - began Jaejoong, a bit flustered.

- We’re going out to drink.

- Ah. I wanna come too. - Yoochun said, sitting straight.

- Yunho and I need to talk. - explained Jaejoong, with a serious face. He felt so sorry for Yoochun.

- Waa… hyung, I wanted to go so bad…

Yunho and Jaejoong looked each other, worried.

- Kidding. - smiled and giggled Yoochun and leaned back. - Just go. I get it..

He got it.

Yoochun was good at reading their mood. He knew sometimes Yunho and Jaejoong would go out to eat and drink by themselves.

Jaejoong just nodded and followed Yunho out of the apartment.

Just getting out of the building, they found some saesang fans, who recognized Yunho’s car.

- Just take this street and we’ll lose them.

- Leave it to me, Jaejoongie… - Yunho said as he turned around abruptly and took an alley.

He drove reklessly thorugh it and lost sight of saesangs for a while. They knew they woud pop up later. Everybody knew them in Seoul. But far from giving up so early, Yunho drove to a very centric garage, whose owner was a friend of his.

- Hey!

Yunho had so many friends. It looked like they were everywhere. He greeted them and asked them a favor. They’d do anything for him.

- I’m going to see some friends and… I don’t wanna get spotted.

He just had to tell them this and Yunho received the keys of an apartment and a vehicle. In a corner, Yunho grabbed a black cover and pulled it to reveal a beautful bike under it.

Good thing about bikes: helmets.

Yunho drove really, really fast, taking the fast lane, towards south. It seemed natural for Jaejoong, to fly over the road, behind Yunho, their black helmets protecting them from being spotted by anyone.

He liked speed. As Yunho took the next exit, Jaejoong tighten his grip around his waist and enjoyed the trip.

The surroundings became less inhabited and more rural. They went up as they passed some hills and Yunho stopped at a viewpoint. The sight was really pleasant. 

There were vending machines, so Jaejoong took off his helmet and left it behind Yunho to go look for a soda.

- Bring me some chewing gum, okay? - asked him Yunho.

Jaejoong took his time, picking something and then went back next to the bike as he opened his can and gave Yunho his gum.

- From where do you know this place, eh? - asked Jaejoong with a soft voice.

He liked those kind of places, where he could be at peace with himself. They were alone, in the middle of nowhere.

- I’ve come with some friends.

Suddenly, Yunho noticed Jaejoong’s outfit. He had said he was wearing a leather jacket just like Yunho, but his pants were also. He giggled at Jaejoong’s sense of fashion in the middle of nature. Jaejoong back his hair and raised his eyebrows, wondering why his friend would laugh at him like that.

- What’s with the outfit?

Feeling very playful, Jaejoong raised his leg and passed it over the bike’s seat, facing Yunho, just to sit in front of him. Yunho took off his helmet and shook his head to rearrange his hair. He his bangs back.

- To lure you with these legs, isn’t it very obvious? - replied Jaejoong with a serious face. Then he smiled and laughed out loud.

He hugged Yunho as he laughed and hid his face in Yunho’s jacket. Then he rounded Yunho by the neck with his arm and tried to drink from his can behind Yunho’s head.

- What are you doing?? - Yunho asked, giggling.

Jaejoong could be so mischievous at times.

- Stay. Stay, stay, stay still. - Jaejoong asked and drank his soda at his own way. - Aahh! This is how you drink a soda.

- You seem pretty cheerful for someone who just broke up with his girlfriend.

Jaejoong smiled mischievously as he parted and looked everywhere to see a sign of civilization and found none, so he kissed Yunho shortly on his lips.

- Must be the company.

Yunho stayed shut and stared at him, smiling. He Jaejoong’s waist and pushed him closer in a subtle way, kissing him intently afterwards. Jaejoong traced his jawline with his free hand and tried not to pour his soda on Yunho’s neck with the other, as he tilted his head and lost shortly his center of gravity. His lips became swollen instantly. As Yunho parted, Jaejoong half- his lower lip, wanting more.

- Come on, let’s go. - Yunho said as he tapped Jaejoong’s thigh, hurrying him.

Jaejoong got off the bike, drank what was left in the can and threw it in the trash just to hurry and put on his helmet. He sat behind Yunho and grabbed him firmly from his waist as Yunho put his helmet on. The bike roared soundly as they gained speed.

They got to a very lonely house, on top of a hill.

- Waaa… what a nice loft!

Yunho led him inside, Jaejoong dropped on the cozy bed, and stretched. He moaned and took a deep breath.

- Want something to drink??

Jaejoong heard Yunho speaking out loud from somewhere.

- No, not today!

He pulled off a cigarrette box, and a lighter from his pocket, sitting in the edge, and lit one. Yunho appeared in the room and took it away. He smoked twice from it and lit it off in the ashtray there was on the night table.

- Please don’t. I’m trying to quit it, Jaejoongie.

Jaejoong’s face was priceless: he still had his fingers put together, grabbing an invisible cigarrette.

- Hah! - blurted out Jaejoong, jokingly.

Yunho smiled at him, apologizing.

- What?

Yunho giggled, feeling guilty.

- Ah. Look! Look, here! - Yunho said, getting closer to the big window, and staring outside. - What a beautiful landscape! Wow! Right? - he said, trying to distract Jaejoong from his cigarrette.

Jaejoong couldn’t do less than smile, because of Yunho’s efforts of making him cheer up, and standing up from the bed, he hugged him from behind and stared outside also, playing along.

- Aaahhh, wow, really… - began Jaejoong, sarcastically, and realized the landscape was indeed, really beautiful - Wow. Really… What a great sight. - he felt at peace, staring outside the window.

- You sure you don’t want something to drink?

- I’m sure.

- Why not?

Jaejoong was hugging him a bit tighter, as he rubbed his cheek against Yunho’s back.

- What are you doing, I can’t see you, come here. - Yunho said, as he grabbed Jaejoong’s forearms.

- Noo… - Jaejoong tighten the grip and giggled. - I’m about to say something really cheesy, so don’t.

- Wa-What? - Yunho asked, uneasy, as he let him do as he wanted, a bit curious because of Jaejoong’s words.

- Thing is… - Jaejoong giggled, flustered. - I don’t drink because… I think… - his voice got more serious - If we’re going to make love, I don’t want any kind of numbness. - he giggled, flustered again and put his forehead against Yunho’s back. 

Yunho knew Jaejoong had just blushed intensely.
