I took too long to think and the next moment, I heard a hoarse yell of pain echo cross the room...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was shocked. My voice won’t come out. I can’t scream, I can’t shout, I can’t talk. The only thing I was doing was seeing Jaejoong on the floor in front of me. The thug is stepping on his arm. The next thing I know, I felt my cheeks wet and My hair was painfully hauled up.

“So are you calling?” The stronger thug was pulling my hair and I know the pain I’m going through is not more than what Jaejoong was going through. I looked at Jaejoong, he was holding onto his left arm, moving left and right on the floor, agonizing in pain. “I… I’ll… Call” I forced it out of my throat and The thug smirked. He let go of my hair before pushing me off the chair. I was an arm’s length away from Jaejoong now.

“Jae…” I called before I felt something cold on my ear. “Say what’s written on the paper.”He shoved a paper in front of me and I heard the phone ring. “Jaebin ah. Where are you? Why didn’t you come home?” The phone was on loud speaker and the thug pushed the phone nearer to my face, but I didn’t speak at all. Nothing would come out of my throat.

I felt the phone being pulled away from my ear. “Get ready 1 billion won or you’ll never see your daughter and her boyfriend ever.” It was then all silent. I then felt him haul me up, placing the phone in front of me. “She wants prove.” I glared at him, but all he did was point to Jaejoong and the other thug was standing beside Jaejoong. “Omma…” I called before the thug retracted the phone and went to one corner again.

“Unchain the doors.” The thug shouted before walking out. The other thug followed and Jaejoong and I were alone. “Jae… Jae…” I called before shifting my way beside him. I tried to struggle out of the ropes but it was too tight and the rope was too thick. Jaejoong sat up and with his other hand, he untied it for me. I hugged him and started crying. “I’m so sorry Jae. I’m so sorry.” I cried harder and harder till I felt energy totally drained out of my body.

End of Jaebin’s POV

Jaejoong’s POV

The pain was excruciating. I couldn’t feel my hand. All I know was that Jaebin was in front of me, crying and it’s all because of me. I tried to suppress my pain, but it was too agonising. It seems like in a flash, the thugs were out of the room, leaving both of us alone.

I used all my energy to pull myself to help Jaebin get untied. Before I was even able to do anything, Jaebin started crying on my shoulders. I couldn’t calm her down. Nothing was working and I really had no idea if we will be able to walk out of here alive.

I felt her weight on me and realised she fainted. I used my other hand to place her head on my lap while I think of a way. I felt vibrations from my pants and realised that It was my phone! As fast as I can go, I took out my phone and realised it was a call from Dongho.

“Dongho! Help!” I said, exasperated. “I was worried sick. Leave your phone on and place it in your pocket. I’ll call the police.” Dongho said. I then placed it into my pocket and hope that help will be on the way as quickly as possible. I felt movements from my thighs and I looked down. Jaebin started stirring and she sat up. She hugged me and I know she’s scared. If anything were to happen to us, she would be first since she’s a girl. “We’ll be fine.” I whispered into her ear while I used my uninjured hand to comfort her.

“Is your hand ok?” She asked as she pulled away. I gave her a reassuring smile while she placed her head on my shoulder. “You’ll be fine. You’ll be able to play the piano. Everything will be fine. We’ll be like before.” I know she’s trying to reassure me but I know that perhaps the piano is something I can never play again. Suddenly, the lights flicker. I felt Jaebin’s body freeze before she moved closer to me then before and hiding her face.

“It’s ok. Everything’s ok.” I place her face in my chest, blocking her vision from the flickering lights. I could feel her tears staining my shirt and her breathing slowed down from the irregular breathing from before. “I’ll always protect you. No matter what happens, I’ll be there.” I cooed into her ears before I felt her nodding her head.

It felt like hours before any other movements. However, it’s the movement of the sun. I can see rays of lights peeking from the horizon. I then heard the rustling of chains. I looked up to only see the door jerking, but it never opened. I waited, but nothing happened. Jaebin woke up and hugged my waist, looking at the door. It seems like forever when the door finally opened. All I could see were light and a few black man in front of me. Before their faces were revealed, I could only see pitch black.

When I woke up, I found myself lying at a foreign place. Everywhere was white. “Am I in heaven?” I asked myself before I heard someone shout and I jumped “Yah! Kim Jaejoong! If you were to go to heaven I’ll die a horrible death for you to see.” It was Dongho.

End of Jaejoong’s POV

Jaebin’s POV

I heard people talking. “Will she be alright?” “She will don’t worry darling” I opened my eyes slowly to see Omma. All I saw was that she had her eyes open wide as if she was dreaming. “oh my god! Oh My god! Honey you’re awake!” Tears welled her eyes.

“Where am I?” I looked around to find myself in a white room and there was no one else other than me and my parents. Suddenly, it hit me. “Where’s Jaejoong?” I looked around frantically but he was nowhere near me. “He’s next door dear.” Appa said and I climbed off the bed immediately and headed next door. Omma supported me next door. When I opened the door, I saw Jaejoong sitting on the window ledge, looking outside. His right arm was in a cast. When I took a step forward, he turned to look at me. When he saw me, he smiled. “You’re alright” He spoke, his voice as gentle as it is. “Omma, I would like to talk to Jaejoong privately.” Omma supported me to the window ledge where Jaejoong was before closing the door behind her.

When the doors closed shut, I straightaway headed into his embrace. “I’m sorry.” I said with my head buried in his chest. “I should be the one saying sorry. I was the one who caused all this. If I didn’t mention going there nothing like this would happen.” He caressed my hair it was then when I felt that my head felt wet. I looked up to find him crying. “Jae...” He wiped his tears away and shook his head.

“I knew there was something up with the 2 of you.” The both of us had our heads snapped to the door. It was Yoochun ad Seulgi. Yoochun walked towards us “Jae, You’ve protected my dongsaeng well. I can entrust her to you.” He pat Jaejoong’s shoulder. Jaejoong gave him a weak smile before the both of us walked to the bed. “I shall leave the food on the table and let the two of you have some time together.” Yoochun said before leaving with Seulgi.

The room was silent. Both of us were just looking at each other blankly. Nothing came out of our mouth and none of us moved. We stayed in the same position saying nothing for around 10 minutes before Jaejoong spoke up. “I...” I looked at him, waiting for him to speak. He seems to be having an inner struggle with himself to tell me about it. “Jae, it’s alright. Don’t force yourself if you don’t want to say it.” I gave him the warmest smile I could give at the moment.

“I may not be able to play the piano as well as before.” When that sentence came out of his mouth, it seems like my whole world sank. “What?” It came out in a stutter. I couldn’t believe my ears, I hope it wasn’t true. It was just my ears playing a trick on me. “Piano will perhaps not be part of my life ever again.” He was looking down and I know exactly what he was doing. I lifted his face by his chin. Tears were streaming down his porcelain cheeks, staining them with tears. “Jae, Never, I said never suffer alone alright? We’ll solve everything together.” I spoke gently and wiped his tears away.

I was discharged the next day. Jaejoong however had to stay for another day or two. When I got home, I took a short rest before heading to the shower. Walking down the stairs, Omma caught me. “Where are you going young lady?” I turned and looked at her. “I promise Jaejoong to visit him and bring Taeyeon along.” Omma nodded her head before I headed next door to fetch Taeyeon.

The moment I opened the door of Jaejoong’s ward, Taeyeon rushed in and gave him a bear hug, slapping his face with all her questions. Jaejoong answered each of her questions with thought. I sat on the sofa near his bed and saw the way he explained it to her. His eyes were pure and he put in effort to answer her every question and phrase it in such a way that she won’t worry too much about him.

“I’ll come visit you again tomorrow.” Taeyeon stood up and waved at Jaejoong with a huge smile on her face. “It’s Junsu again isn’t it?” Jaejoong said with a small smile. She nodded and left. “ou can leave the day after. I’ll come pick you up?” I said and he nodded slightly.

I left at 11 when Jaejoong fell asleep. He’s even quieter than before. I suspect it’s because of the incident. He make it seems like it was all his fault. I was at fault too. I leaned against a wall to think. I was the one who made all this happen to him. If I had agree to what those thug wanted, he won’t hurt his hand. Piano will still be his life and his everything. I make him have a chance of losing everything. I didn’t know I was actually crying. I crouch on the floor with my head down.

“Jaebin? ” I felt a light touch on my shoulder and I looked up. The owner of the voice was none other than Jaejoong. I pulled him into a hug. “Don’t blame yourself. I have a part to play.” He my back and calmed me down. “I just felt bad. Don’t blame anyone. No one is to blame for all this. The only people we can blame are those thugs. About my hand, If I cannot play the piano anymore, I can continue my studies in law school.” I looked at him. “Law school?” He smiled and nodded his head. “When I left for Vienna, I didn’t stop studying. I studied both Law and music.”

I just realise that Things he cannot tell anyone, I would know about them. He puts trust in me and so am I. I just hope we’ll be together forever and that we can overcome any obstacles that we ever meet. I will keep strong for him and I know he will also do the same. He may look soft hearted and frail on the outside, he’s actually strong that any guy I’ve met.
