SOMEONE ELSE'S

Yoo Youngjae running and shouting when he first say Jaebeom

“Yah stuuuuppppiiiddd guy!!!!!” Youngjae running towards Jaebeom.

Jaebeom who was looking at  his phone while waiting for his best friend looks up when he hear someone scream and his face turn pale when he know that Youngjae will definitely crash into him and he is right.

Youngjae throws his boday toward Jaebeom and its make both of them fall.

“Ouch!! Stupid guy!!! Its hurt.” Jaebeom said after he stand up and help his silly friend.

“Well its not as hurt as my heart when you left me to New York for 4 years!!!” Youngjae

“Well I already offer a ticket plan for you to visit me.” Jaebeom

“And leave Daehyun alone? No way mister.” Youngjae

“You are so obsessed with your own husband make me want to puke.” Jaebeom

“Yah! You are lucky I like you second after my hubby if not I already kill you with that mouth of yours!!” Youngjae

“Well I am gladly take your killing if I can stop looking at that stupid face whenever you talk about Daehyun even when we video call each other your face is just making me wanted to punch you.” Jaebeom tease.

“Ahh I miss this cutie paw guy trying to threaten me.” Youngjae coo.

“Stop now, so where should we go?” Jaebeom

“I am quite hungry right now. Lets have a quick brunch before we go shopping?” Youngjae

“Sound good to me.” Jaebeom

Youngjae drive to the nearest small shop that always selling street food and the usual place they always hanging when they were a student.

“Whoah I never knew this shop was still here.” Jaebeom

“Yup,I always drag Daehyun here whenever I missed you.” Youngjae

Jaebeom look at his friend and felt a little guilty.

Youngjae is his friends since they were a classmate when they are 8 years old. The only boy in his class who does not really care about all the rumor about him. They become fast friend and best friend in short time. Then even after they separate because they got into different university but its never stop both of them to hang up and talk.

So the most time they separate will probably be a week but after Jaebeom move to New York they never meet again and Youngjae keep on complaining to him and persuade him to just come back and ignore Jinyoung. Youngjae has become Jinyoung haters after what had happen and Jaebeom don’t know if Youngjae can accept their new friendship.

They ordered a few dishes ( more that 5 dish) and while waiting the foods to arrive they having a small talk.

“So how is your fiance?” Youngjae

“I don’t know. I did not hear anything about him after he went back to New York.” Jaebeom

“What? Nothing at all? Why? And why are you not even panicking?” Youngjae

“No, I mean we still calling each other daily but for some reason he never said where is he or what is he doing? I mean I am not a clingy kind of partner so I don’t want to be clingy-er so yeah I just act usual.” Jaebeom

“This.. this is why I don’t know how you can be so nonchalantly like he is your fiance and you just let him be?” Youngjae

“I mean…I don’t know Youngjae ahh, I might be sound like a right now but after I spend a few days without Jackson I am kinda feel fine. I don’t know how I said yes to his proposal I mean.. I love Jackson, but I don’t know if I love love him.” Jaebeom

“Does your indecisive because of the bastard? After you saw him you have second thought? Huh? If you do I definitely gonna kill the bastard after I kill you.” Youngjae

“ No, I mean I am done with Jinyoung, now we are just friend. You don’t have to worry about a thing with him. It just after a few days I am wondering if I take things with Jackson too fast? We were just dating for a year and half then suddenly we are engage. Am I having some jittering feels about this? You know right Youngjae, if I feels like this its not a right thing to do.” Jaebeom

“Sheesssh Jaebeom, take a chill pills. Firstly you need to tell me more details about your budding friendship with that bastard. Secondly, I don’t think you are nervous or whatever feeling you may feels now. You know you love Jackson. I can see it through your face whenever we had our video call. I mean yes at first you just accept him because you want to forget about the bastard but now I actually can see your eyes light up whenever you talk about Jackson. Don’t think you were moving so fast with him. You have waited for more than 5 years with that bastard and look what happen? Don’t use your past relationship as your rule marker of happiness. Just be happy okay.” Youngjae

“Youngjae I appreciate if you stop calling Jinyoung a bastard. I mean its been a long time ago. I accept him as my friend even if you think I am a fool. I mean we are bestfriend before we are a lover and I like being Jinyoung’s friend and I love you too as my friend so whatever the bad feelings you have towards Jinyoung. You need to keep it down. Who knows maybe we can hang aroung like we used too and I don’t want to see your sour face when we do that.” Jaebeom

Youngjae roll his eye.

“By the way, thank you for the advice. Yes I love Jackson. Its just I don’t know if me and Jackson can have the same relation as me and Jinyoung. You know we are unseparable right? I just hope Jackson feeling is the same as me. I know he love me but Bambam already give me a few warning about Jackson. I mean Bambam’s friend and a few of their clique don’t actually know about Jackson? I mean they just knew him as Jackson Wang. Not more not less. So Bambam is a little bit skeptical about Jackson but he still support us being together and all because Jackson is Jackson. He is lovable.” Jaebeom

“Bambam? Is that the skinny guy who sometimes interupt our video call? I love him. I hope I can meet him soon.” Youngjae

“Yes. He is here with me right now. I don’t know how he suddenly became my best best friend his word not mine and he cant let me go alone. “ Jaebeom

Jaebeom just realize how Bambam being his first housemate when he moved to New York change his life. Bambam found him crying one night and suddenly Jaebeom pour everything to Bambam. Bambam just listen to Jaebeom’s word and then he give Jaebeom a hug and then tomorrow everything become normal. Bambam never mention about that night ever again.

“I just realize he never leave me alone even when I moved house after a few month staying together. He is really my best best friend.” Jaebeom laugh.

“Whatever. I am still your childhood friend and your no 1 best friend.” Youngjae pout

Jaebeom chuckle.

“Yes you are Youngjae. Thank you for being here for me and still being my best friend. Thank you for always being my rational friend. Without you I might be doing something more stupid.” Jaebeom

“Naahh, Jaebeom don’t mention it and back to the topic. I will not obstruct your new friendship with that bas….I mean Jinyoung. But please don’t make us hanging out together now. I am worried if I cant control myself being mean toward him.” Youngjae plead

“Of course, I will not shoved you guys to be bestie. I am not that dense.” Jaebeom

“Well sometime you are so dense. Like dense dense.” Youngjae

“Okay stop saying that. Lets just eat!” Jaebeom

 

It was 10pm when Jinyoung were doing his job when his phone ring and by looking at the caller id he sigh.

“Yes Yugyeom?” Jinyoung

“Jinyoung!!! My favourite friend!! My best best best friend..” Yugyeom

Jinyoung cut Yugyeom words, “Now what do you want from me?”

“Jinyoung? How do you always expect me asking something from you? I might just calling you because I missed you?” Yugyeom

“Bull, I know you Yugyeom even when we are in uni. You always wanted something when you startetd your conversation with compliment.” Jinyoung

“Ha ha ha, you are the best Jinyoung. I just want to ask you to help me with my client from New York.” Yugyeom

“Whoah over the sea client? I see Yugyeom, I see,” Jinyoung tease

“Stop Jinyoung, its not even that big like some of your cases.” Yugyeom

“So what did you want me to help you with?” Jinyoung

“Okay hear me up. I have my client Mr Park but not you don’t even start. He suddenly want to merge his company with some other company but his initial conditions is that they cant merge company in the middle of the year like this and its look kinda fishy so a lot of his company board opposed the idea but Mr Park really wanted to merge and I did not find any loop holes in his company’s rules made by some really good lawyer so how can I do to you know cheat my way a little. You are the best in this kind of work Jinyoung. You are so sly like a snake that nobody can even see the way you work.” Yugyeom

“I don’t know if you praise me or curse me.” Jinyoung

“Nah of course I praises you my lord. My saviour.” Yugyeom

“Stop it, by the way there is no a perfect conditions ever made. There is always a little loop that we can find and make it turn our way. You just email me the original rules and if I can found anything I will let you know but my advice is Yugyeom just look at the few first condition. In my experience that is always the place that people make mistake.” Jinyoung

“Okay Jinyoung, I will try first and if I cant find it I will email the document later. But please let it be our secret please I don’t want to get mad from my boss if he knows I ask help from the enemy itself.” Yugyeom

“Its all your fault Yugyeom, I already ask you to join us.” Jinyoung

“And leave my father alone? Huh I am not stupid Jinyoung. I don’t know how you and my father can just hang around outside the courtroom while you guys is neck to neck if you guys in the same case but different opposition.” Yugyeom

“Its call professionalism Yugyeom ah and you ought to learn about it and stop mentioning that I used a dirty trick in the case that I won fairly.” Jinyoung

“No Jinyoung!!! I am pretty sure you used some magic things at the jury.” Yugyeom

“Whatever you want to believe Yugyeom. Now I need to continue my work, anything else?” Jinyoung

“Lets go have a drinks Jinyoung! Its been a while since we done that!.” Yugyeom

“Well let me schedule our drinks night, when will you free?” Jinyoung

“Stop scheduling everything!! Can’t we just go like tonight or something?” Yugyeom

“I can’t tonight, I have this workload that I want to finish but its being a to me so yeah not tonight.” Jinyoung

“Urgh you are so workaholic!! Let loose a little and I know you did not get any action in this past month after Mark happen so lets just hit a club or some. Lets get some action!!.” Yugyeom

“Urghhh, no!! I don’t want to go to the club its make my headache worse so if you really wanted to drink lets go to the usual.” Jinyoung

“Tonight?” Yugyeom

“Yes this work. I cant see any legal words or I will puke. Lets meet after 10 minutes okay?” Jinyoung

“ Okay hyung.” Yugyeom

 

After 20 minutes Jinyoung arrived at the small drinks and bbq shop.

“Jinyoung! You said 10 minutes!!” Yugyeom

“Sorry, I just want to finalize a few work.” Jinyoung

“I already ordered the usual.” Yugyeom

They were having a great time dissing each other and also complaining about how they regret taking law as their major and how abouy eveything in their life making them want to just run away.

Then suddenly they heard a few foreign words from the drunken guy behind him and the owner are asking him to pay.

“I don’t have cash right now..please can I borrow your phone?My battery is dying now.. I just need to call my friend.” Bambam speak Thailand

“What are you talking? Cant you speak korean?” owner

“Let me help.” Jinyoung offer

“Excuse me mister? Can you speak english?” Jinyoung ask in english

“English? Of course I can!!.” Bambam answered with english.

“Okay mister? You need to pay, the owner here asking you to give her money.” Jinyoung

“That is why I try to explain, I don’t have cash right now. I am waiting for my friend but obviously he was late and just my luck. My phone died on me.” Bambam

“Okay, urm I can pay for your drinks but…” Jinyoung

“No no no need…I just need my Jaebeom to come.” Bambam

“Jaebeom? Yes Jaebeom…he was supposed to drink with me tonight. I don’t know why he is so late.” Bambam

“Does your friend full name is Lim Jaebeom?’’ Jinyoung

“Yes!!! Whoooahh how do you know that?” Bambam

“Okay wait with us for a while. Ahjumma put his bill with us.” Jinyoung

Jinyoung message Jaebeom with where Bambam is and his condition and after 20 minutes Jinyoung can see Jaebeom running towards them.

“Gosh Bambam!! You scared me! I try to call you bunch of times but I never get through.” Jaebeom take Bambam and shake him a little.

“Are you drunk already? I told you so many time don’t drink if I am not around!! This guy really want me to be dead huh. Bambam!! And not even a cash around? How can you survive Bambam ah!! I will make sure you will hear some long speeches after you were sober.” Jaebeom wanted to said more but then realize he is in public.

“I am so sorry.” Jaebeom said to the owners. He wanted to pay but the owner said Jinyoung already paid.

“Jinyoung I am really sorry. We promise to meet a few miles away from here and I am sure this guy is lost and I don’t know why he cant speak korean when he is drunk.” Jaebeom

“Jaebeom?” Yugyeom

“Yugyeom?” Jaebeom

“Yaaaahh!! Jay B!! I never thought I can see you again!!! And seeing you guys together? Are you guys together again? I am so happy to see both of you again.”Yugyeom shrieking

“Whoaaah, I forgot how loud you are Yugyeom ah…Hahahhahaah but sorry we are not together together. I am engage now with someone else.” Jaebeom

“Aww..Really? So my parents officially broke up? Urghhhh I always hoping that you guys will be together again.” Yugyeom

“Stop being a dramatic Yugyeom ah!! Your real parents is still together and happy.” Jinyoung

“Yeah but I also want my uni parents. Being your roomate is the best ever!!” Yugyeom

“Yah, stop sugar coating me and Jaebeom sorry if Yugyeom make you feel awkward.” Jinyoung

Jinyoung totally forgot how Yugyeom is always excited when he can see Jaebeom and him together. Its like they are at the university and bump into Yugyeom who loudly shrieking and shouting “my parents” .

“No its fine, Yugyeom ah…well even if your uni parents is broken up we can still hanging out just like any other family hahahhahaha.” Jaebeom tease Yugyeom.

Jaebeom did not realize that his words make Jinyoung happy. Jinyoung don’t know why he feel happy with the words FAMILY that Jaebeom just said.

“Yah Jaebeom don’t install any idea on this bird brain kid. He will definitely bother you.” Yugyeom

“Nah, its fine. Its just Yugyeom. No one will get any harm hahahahah.” Jaebeom

Suddenly they heard a groan.

“I forgot about this stick boy.”Yugyeom

Jinyoung hit Yugyeom arm.

“You are still so funny Yugyeom how come you are a lawyer? It still baffle me when I know you are major in law.” Jaebeom

“Well it’s a miracle. By the way this is your friend?” Yugyeom

“Best best friend his word not mine.” Jaebeom

“Pretty.” Yugyeom

“And single, he love fashion and he love to dance so if you are interested just let me drop his number.” Jaebeom

“Jaebeom? Is it alright for you to give Bambam number to a stranger?” Jinyoung

“First he will thank me because Yugyeom is totally his type and second yes I am.” Jaebeom

“Wow Jaebeom. You never change huh? The always easy going guy. I sometimes wonder why you are with Jinyoung. It is a mystery for us the stuck up guy with the hot literature student.” Yugyeom

Jaebeom just laugh while Jinyoug throw a small punches to Yugyeom body.

“Nahh, don’t wonder anymore we cant stay being together maybe that is why?” Jaebeom

Jaebeom’s words once again make Jinyoung froze for a second and this time Jinyoung feel a little bit sad.

“Anyway, I need to go and bring my drunk friends so he will stop mumbling in Thai language. Bye Jinyoung, bye Yugyeom.” Jaebeom

Yugyeom excitedly saying and waving bye while Jinyoung just giving his nod.

“Okay spill now Jinyoung.” Yugyeom

“What?” Jinyoung

“I can see how your face changes with Jaebeom’s word.” Yugyeom

“No I am fine.” Jinyoung

“Jinyoung, even though I am not that close like you and Jaebeom. I can read the atmosphere okay. I feel the little awkwardness between you guys. I know you guy already broken up because Jaebeom ask you too and you are not happy about it and knowing he already engage with other guy it make you sad right? I never thought he will do that to you. I always think you guys will end up together after he come back to Korea.” Yugyeom whine and Jinyoung can feel his dissatiesfied tone towards Jaebeom.

Jinyoung wanted to say something to deny everything so that Yugyeom know that it was Jinyoung fault and its never Jaebeom’s fault but he don’t know how or if he should tell Yugyeom. Yugyeom is one of his friend who is close with his family and Jinyoung are not ready to tell his family about his cheating.

Jinyoung look at Yugyeom and just smile a little.

Yes Park Jinyoung.

You are a coward.

Your pride is the reason why you are suffering and now its pretty clear you are not worth for Jaebeom.

Jinyoung shake his head. He don’t like when his own mind belittle him.
