This I Promise You

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Mentally chanting her breathing pattern, Sarah closed her eyes before opening them again. But the moment she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but cross them when she found Jaejoong's face just merely centimeters from hers; their noses almost touching. Inhaling sharply, Sarah leaned back and gasped loudly.

“Don't... Do that!” she squeaked, causing Jaejoong to smile widely and the proceeded to laugh loudly right after. Seeing that, the girl couldn't help but blush lightly and turn away.

“Sorry, but you seem troubled,” he told her as he placed his hands on her thighs. Swatting his hands away, Sarah leaned forward once again, a deep sigh escaping from her lips as Jaejoong got up and sat right to her.

“Of course I'm troubled,” she answered with a deep frown, “There's a bunch of screaming fans right outside the gate and I have no idea how I'm suppose to get pass them without getting glares or killed or what have you.”

“You're going to get glares either way,” Changmin bluntly stated, “Even the female staff workers that work here get glares from the fans.”

“Aish...” Sarah pouted as she leaned forward, propped her elbow on her leg and rested her chin on the palm of her hand. Unfortunately, Jaejoong found that blissfully adorable, happily stated it and wrapped his arms around her once again, “Yah! O-oppa!”

“So cute~” was all he said as he nuzzled the side of her head with his cheek.

“Hyung, stop that...” Changmin frowned, “That's just starting to get really annoying.”

“Nooo, Changminnie's just jealous,” the lead singer stated as he looked at his younger brother with a light smirk. The maknae's frown instantly turned into a complete wtf expression before he shook his head and decided to finally turn on the television.

Somehow, Sarah managed to pry herself from Jaejoong's bear like hug and she immediately scudded over to the kitchen, where Yoochun and Yunho were currently cleaning dishes while Junsu had drying duty. Sliding pass the two dishwashers, Sarah stood next to Junsu before she reached over and attempted to get a small glass cup. However, she was surprised when Junsu merely turned to her and handed her the freshly washed and dried cup.

“Here you go Sarah-ah~” he grinned cutely. Staring at the cup for a moment, Sarah instantly smiled cheerfully and happily took the cup from the aegyeo king of their group. But for some reason, Junsu felt something very cold brush pass him. Blinking a few times, the male looked over at the living from from the open space in front of him and his landed on Jaejoong who was staring intently at him from his spot on the couch.

Blink. Blink. Stare. Blink. Blink. Stare. Blink. Blink. Shiver.

“Something wrong hyung?” Junsu questioned, though he almost squeaked and his voice cracked.

“No,” was all Jaejoong said as his eyes went back to Sarah, who had gotten herself a glass of water and finished it before Yoochun took the glass from her and began washing that again. The cold front that blew all around Junsu finally disappeared as Sarah made her way back to the living room and plopped down on the couch, completely oblivious of that little moment.

“Aigoo, I really need to get going,” the girl stated as she flipped her wrist and stared at the time. It was almost 10:00am when she looked at her watch, “I'm lucky I don't have any classes or else I would have ditched two classes by the time I reached the campus.”

“You don't want to stay longer?” Jaejoong questioned as he leaned over and wrapped his arms around her again. Sarah instantly froze again, his hot breathing sending shivers down her spine and she once again shook from the sudden skinship contact. She could feel the male's smile, even though she couldn't see his face, but she knew he was smiling... Or smirking. Most likely the latter of that because she couldn't help but bite down on her lower lip when she felt his lips brush against her goosebump infested neck. She tried her best to cover up the quiet moan, but Changmin ended up hearing that. He then turned at their direction before he picked up a pillow and hurled it at his older brother. The pillow smacked the elder square in the back of his head and he ended up leaning more into Sarah and pushed her to her side.

“Hyung!” Changmin growled, “There are other people in this room!”

Oh thank you reasonable one! Sarah mentally cheered when Jaejoong released her and attempted to throw the pillow back at their resident Shik Shin. But the pillow missed since Changmin had blocked it instead.

“You just met her how many days ago and you're already trying to feel her up?” Yoochun questioned as he entered the living room and looked at his hyung, “Hmmm, maybe we do need to take you out more.”

“Shut up Yoochun,” was all Jaejoong said as he finally decided to behave himself since his living teddy bear had fallen limp on her side.

“Sarah-ah, are you okay?” Junsu questioned as he leaned over and poked the side on her side. Suddenly, the girl shot up from her position and squeaked loudly. Blinking, the boys merely looked at her as she wrapped both of her arms around her sides, protecting them, “Erm...?”

“I-I'm fine, Oppa,” she managed to breathe out as she stood up, “Really though... I don't want you guys to get in trouble. I probably should have left before that crowd had formed...”

“We won't get in trouble,” Yunho reassured her, “Luckily, our Manager likes to call before hand before he comes over since we're normally in a hurry to do activities.”

Sarah merely flashed the leader a smile, “Alright, but I probably should be going...”

“Wow, I don't think I've ever met a fan who keeps insisting to leave us,” Yoochun chuckled as he walked up to her with her bag, “Here you go Sarah-ah. We would walk you out the gate at least, but at the moment, we really can't.”

“Deh, it's fine Yoochun-oppa,” she smiled as she took her bag and bowed, “Well, I don't know if I'll ever step foot in here ever again, but know that I'll forever support you guys! And know that I'll always be your number one fan~”

“Ne, I'll miss you even though I only knew you for a night and one morning!” Junsu practically giggled as he walked over to her and hugged her. But the cold front suddenly appeared again and he instantly let go, “Aigoo... Please come to our concerts?”

“Of course Oppa!” she laughed, oblivious of the cold air, “Can't promise you that I'll have full access viewing like last time, but I'll be somewhere in the audience~”

Boys merely laughed or chuckled at her before they all walked over to her and hugged her individually. Jaejoong was the last to go to her, but instead of hugging her, he merely grabbed her hand and lead her to the front door while ignoring the weird stares from his younger brothers. Opening the front door, Jaejoong looked around, made sure the indoor hallway was clear before he guided her over to the elevator. Once they made it over to the elevator, Sarah once again found herself in his bear hug embrace.

“That won't be the last time you set foot in the dorm,” he told her, “Because I wouldn't be able to bare it.”

“Eh?” Sarah blinked as she continued to stare at his chest, which oddly smelt really good, “What are you talking about?”

Pulling her away from him, he merely smiled as he kept his hands on both of her shoulders, “You'll understand eventually, but that's my first promise to you~”

Before Sarah could say anything after that, the elevator had dinged and the doors opened. Jaejoong then lightly pushed her out, but before the doors had closed, he leaned over and kissed her cheek and stepped back into the elevator. Pressing another button, he then smiled and pointed at the direction of the door, which would lead her outside.

“O-oppa...” she quietly called out, but the elevator door had already closed. She stared at the door for another few seconds, unconsciously waiting for it to open and have him pop out again or something, but seeing that wasn't going to happen, she blushed heavily and smiled.

“Okay, you're not too bad,” she muttered as she turned heel and began to make her way out the building and toward the gate, “But you're still annoying.”

Peeking through the blinds, Jaejoong watched as Sarah appeared and made her way toward the screaming crowd. Yunho was currently on the phone, calling the guard to make sure that she was allowed to leave and not questioned. The moment Yunho put the phone down, the guard had walked up to Sarah's figure, the two of them engrossed in a conversation before he made a small pathway through the crowd and allowed her to make her way out before disappearing down the main street.

“Did she get out safely?” Yunho questioned as he walked over to his elder. Jaejoong didn't say anything, but nodded anyway to reassure his leader that their guest had left the crowd, unharmed.

“Well, that was fun while it lasted,” Yoochun commented as he plopped down on the empty space on the couch.

“Too bad, I liked her...” Junsu sighed, but then stopped when he felt the cold air again, “WHO'S HAUNTING ME?!”

Jaejoong merely turned away, his attention at the television show Changmin had decided to watch. Well, actually it was a drama series that recently aired. And the guys continued to ignore Junsu's squealing as he looked around, petrified.

Thinking to himself, Jaejoong mentally promised himself that this night wouldn't be the first and last night she'd step foot into this dorm or even his life. He was starting to believe that perhaps maybe she was the one he was destined to be with. After all, she literally stumbled into his life, just like the way that silly street psychic had predicted. Though, it also could have been a coincidence as well. But it had to be fate that he decided to walk out for some air and saw her chasing after some immature teenager. If he hadn't walked out that day, he could have completely missed his chance and things could have happened differently.

Woah... When did he turn into Mr. Hindsight all of the sudden?

Chuckling to himself, Jaejoong decided to just sit back, relax and plan out another meeting with his so called destined one.

- - -

Two days. No, wait... Three days? Aish! How long has it been?! Scratching the back of her head, Sarah continued to pace around her room as she looked down at her bed. Placing both of her hands on her hips, the girl merely shook her head before she began to lightly jab it with her pointer finger. Some time had passed since her dream and at the moment, she continued to rake through her lost memories for any indication that actually wasn't a dream.

“But Changmin pinched you,” she reasoned as she stopped in the middle of her room and continued to contemplate about that entire thing, “You felt pain in a dream! And I don't think that could be possible in a dream...”

“Aish, now what are you rambling about now?”

Looking at her best friend/roommate, Sarah merely blinked innocently before smiling at the girl, “I have a question for you~”

“What's wrong?” she asked, concerned. Ever since Sarah came home, Alex had noticed that the girl had been talking to her more and rambling about DBSK. The girl couldn't help but wonder if she had officially lost it, but besides that strange thing, Sarah was still well... Sarah.

“You're not suppose to feel pain in your dream, right? Oh and have you seen my little wallet of change?”

“Eh?” Alex blinked as she looked at her best friend, “Last time I recall, you don't feel pain in a dream... And if you did, you'd most likely wake up to it... And I haven't...”

“Oh... Okay. But anyway, so you're saying that there's absolutely no possible way that a person can feel pain from a dream?”

“I guess?” the younger of the two shrugged.

With a sigh, the older of the two waved her hand dismissively before plopping down on her bed and laying on it. Why in the world was still contemplate about the whole thing? Alex kind of already verified that it couldn't be a dream.

Dream or not... I know I can finally die a very happy girl~ She mentally laughed, remembering those little memories of her moments at their dorm. This time, she laughed a bit louder this time, causing Alex to look up from her desk and stare at her.

“You okay there?” the younger of the two asked, “Honestly, you're getting weirder and weirder...”

“I want a Mocha Latte,” Sarah randomly sat up and looked at her friend, “Yah, you want anything from Starbucks or whatever?”

“I'm good,” Alex answered as she went back to her work, “It's getting late, so don't be out too long~”

“Deh, Eomma~” was all Sarah said as she walked over to her desk and picked up her jacket, along with a novel she had picked up a few days prior to the concert and never really got the chance to read it just yet. Bidding her roommate a farewell, she casually made her way toward the closest Starbucks to the apartment, which was actually two blocks away from the complex. It was within a small plaza that had a new shops, but nothing too big. It was a rather popular hangout for the college students, so she wasn't surprised to find that there would be a good amount of her peers to be hanging around there.

She was actually pretty lucky to find a table for herself to rest while she drank her coffee and she was even luckier to find a table against the window, where she could see the busy main street. It was still the autumn season, but it was chilly as ever. It almost felt like it was already winter, but she still had almost three more months before it could be considered the winter season. Making a face, the merely returned to her book, completely oblivious of the familiar presence that just entered the popular coffee cafe.

Earlier that day, Jaejoong suddenly plopped on one of the training mats that had been piled in the corner of the room, but the boys had dragged out the mat to sit on during the breaks. Taking a deep breath, the male reached over and grabbed his duffel bag, which has his towels, shampoo, body soap and some other things he had often brought with him when he and s practiced in their dancing room. Pulling out his water bottle, he popped the top open and practically inhaled half the bottle in a few gulps.

The boys had been practicing for over four hours since they woke up that morning. The two days ago, they were informed of their new concert schedule, which started the week after next. It had been awhile since they visited Japan and the boys couldn't wait to see their Japanese fans at the Tokyo venue. But they were also busy with some endorsement commercials plus filming at the Come to Play set.

“Damnit,” he cursed, mostly to himself as he tipped back and laid on the practice mat. Yunho sat next to his elder, water bottle at hand as he peered down at the pretty boy.

“Yah, you okay there?” the leader questioned, nudging the older's leg with his lightly fisted hand.

“I don't have that much time,” he answered offhandedly as he closed his eyes for a moment, “We're going to be in Japan for three weeks and she could move on for that period of time!”

“What are you talking about, hyung?” Yoochun piped in as he sat on the dance floor instead, “Oh wait, don't answer that since I should know by now.”

“Honestly, he's smitten!” Junsu giggled from his spot across from Yunho, “You're starting to get creepy, hyung.”

“Aish!” the male growled as he pushed himself back up and lightly glared at the Aegyeo King of their group, “What do you mean creepy?”

“Well, for one,” Changmin decided to put in his two cents, “You've known this girl for how long now? Not even a week and you're constantly mumbling about her, you get spacey again and have this weird look on your face and I swear, you sometimes say her name whenever you're asleep.”

Jaejoong already felt the blood rush to his ears and his face, “Y-yah! I do not!”

“I'm a key witness to that~” Junsu made face, “I haven't been able to get decent sleep because of you tossing and turning every night!”

“You!” Jaejoong pointed a finger at the dolphin boy, “Aish! Nevermind...”

“So you do admit it!” Junsu jumped up and pointed his own finger at the elder of their group, “Ah hahahah!”

“I swear Kim Junsu, I'm going to slaughter you!”

And for the next three minutes, Jaejoong magically found the strength to chase the dolphin boy around the dance room. It took awhile, but they finally stopped when Junsu hid behind Yoochun and Jaejoong had literally ran over Yoochun when Junsu bolted again. Yunho managed to tackle Jaejoong to the mat while Changmin managed to stop Junsu by grabbing his shirt and yanking him back onto the mat as well.

Another few hours of practice passed by and the boys were finally allowed to retire back into their dorms to rest. The boys had to take turns with the shower, since they only had one, but luckily, Jaejoong had ran for it first. Although it was getting late, he wanted to go see if he could possibly find a certain someone. He would have texted her, but he had been so tired and at the same time, Sarah had never bothered to text him herself since she left the dorm around four days ago. He had been meaning to go see her anyway since she had accidentally left her little wallet of change, which he had found near the counter where her bag had been resting during her stay.

Ignoring the looks s had given him, he easily slipped on his disguise and a facial mask before he slipped out their door. Maybe s were right, he was unconsciously smitten by this girl and wasn't exactly aware of it. And he probably was a bit of stalker status since he had accidentally dropped her bag when she was asleep and the stuff within it fell out. This included her wallet, which had popped open and he couldn't help but secretly take a glance at her school ID, which was displayed in a see through pocket.

Ah, her school's not even that far from the dorm! He mentally told himself as he stared at her picture. But the moment he heard some footsteps coming from the hall, he panicked, dropped a few of her cards as he stuffed the wallet back within her bag and casually acted like he had dropped the bag and just started to put the contents back. Yunho was the person who appeared and he couldn't help but watch as Jaejoong held his head down and hurried to put the stuff that had fallen from Sarah's bag. Shaking his head, Yunho merely went over to the couch and began to watch the television. Seeing as he was preoccupied with the TV, Jaejoong once again secretly looked at a business card that had fallen out of Sarah's bag and it belonged to an apartment complex that was across the street from the college campus.

Inwardly, Jaejoong couldn't help bite down on his lower lip as he gently put the card in her bag and happily went to put her bag on the counter.

Looks like fate's on my side today! He couldn't help but mentally giggle as he made his way over to the kitchen and decided to make himself a small snack.

Flash forward to the present, Jaejoong managed to slip pass the gate and quickly made his way down the street. The college campus wasn't that far from their dormitory. A fifteen to twenty minute walk, depending how the foot traffic was and the stop lights. He was actually surprised how quick the walk was, even with all the foot traffic. There was a lot of people out, mainly because business workers were getting off of work and made their way home and a lot of young people hung around since there wasn't going to be any classes the following morning.

By the time Jaejoong had made it over to the apartment complex, he instantly felt something familiar. Looking up, he spotted Sarah walking across the street and randomly started to run after her. Dodging a handful of people; however, he found himself a bit too late since the pedestrian light had already switched to stop. Mentally, he cursed as he impatiently waited for the light to finally turn to the okay. Two minutes pass and finally, he and the crowd were finally allowed to walk, but instead of walking, he started sprinting once again. Once he had reached the other side of the street, he instantly began to look around but once he spotted her her again, he dashed down the sidewalk. He had almost lost her again, but luckily he had spotted her walking into the little plaza, which he sometimes went into for coffee since it was Starbucks.

He legs started to hurt. All that running after the long work out he and s pulled to practicing their choreography for their upcoming concert. And once he had finally made it to the door, he couldn't help but bend over and take a quick breather.

Aigoo! The things I do sometimes... He couldn't help but chuckle as he straightened himself up and regained his regular breathing pattern. Taking a deep breath and exhaling it, he finally managed to muster up the courage to step into the cafe.

The aroma of coffee instantly met his nose and he quietly looked around. It didn't take him long to find the said girl since she had just sat down with her coffee cup and started to engross herself into a rather thick novel. Blinking, he casually walked past her and went straight for the line.

“Name?” the girl at the register questioned as he picked up a white paper cup and a sharpie.

“J—I mean Youngwoong,” he answered quietly. The girl suddenly looked at him funny, her eyes narrowing slightly as she stared at him, which he somewhat looked away. Shaking her head, she quickly wrote down his name as he took out his wallet and handed her the bill for his coffee. Taking his change, he awkwardly made his way over to the table Sarah was currently occupying.

“Mind if I sit here?” he questioned. Sarah didn't really bother looking up from her book, but she made a notion that plainly told him that he was more than welcomed to. For some reason, he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous at the novel she was reading, mainly because she was so engrossed in it, she had just literally brushed him off like it was nothing.

No one had ever done that before! Well, minus the guys, but they never really did count.

Two minutes of silence, but for some reason, Sarah felt someone staring intently at her. Not being able to take it anymore, she snapped her head up and was about to open , but...

“Tall, French Vanilla Latte for Youngwoong!”

Upon hearing his name, Jaejoong quickly slipped away from the table and happily went over to go get his coffee. He couldn't help but snicker because he felt her eyes at him and the moment he turned around to give her a triumphant look—

She was gone?

“Bwoh?” he blinked as he looked at the door and found her hurrying out of it. If it wasn't for the facial mask concealing his nose and mouth, people would have seen the appalled mouth drop Jaejoong was giving the door.

“YAH!?” he yelled, ignoring the stares people where giving him as he ran out the cafe.
