Chapter 03
Baby, you know i can't forget.
First things first I wanted to apologize for dragging this out so long. I definitely had no motivation to go on with the story and I feel so sorry because of this. School and work had been stressing me out lately and on top of that I'm trying to get my drivers lisence right now. I hope you can forgive me and enjoy this chapter nevertheless.

-Changmin POV -
He just couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing, this guy just had to be his hyung, Jaejoong. After living together for almost half of his life, Changmin thought he would definitely recognize him no matter what he wore or in what disguise he would be. But the thing he didn't get the most is why Yunho just starred at him but didn't even try to stop Jaejoong from leaving. Was he too shocked? Didn't he want to talk to him or did he just not recognize him after all? But wouldn't a person recognize the love of his life from miles away? All these thoughts were crushing his mind in high speed, on top of that he had to deal with his own shock, it was nevertheless one of his long lost members, which he had not seen for a long time. All the things seemed to happen in slowmotion right now. It took him a while to get over the shock and get his feet to finally move. The drinks long forgotten, he was exiting the club as fast as he could, crashing into a few people but he didn't care right at this moment. All he could think of was to get after jaejoong before he'll completely lose him... again. When he finally reached the outside of the club he looked left and right, his eyes searching for that guy with the hat. He couldn't see him anywhere though. Frustrated he run his hand through his hair, when suddenly a thought crossed his mind 'the club's parking lot'. Since it wasn't far from the club he was afraid that jaejoong would have already reached it, sat in his car and had driven out of his reach.
So here he was running after Yunho's luck, that Yunho doesn't seem to be able to catch himself.
Just a few meter away from the parking lot he could here the engine of a car start. No, no please, not again. He started running faster, now able to see the car, which obviously belonged to Jaejoong seeing how expensive it looked like. Before the car could exit the parking lot, Changmin reached it, blocking Jaejoong's way. Jaejoong on the other other hand had to slam on the brakes not to knock Changmin over. The younger man's heart was racing and his breaths were coming uneven, but he couldn't help the self-satisfied smirk spreading across his lips.
So here he was now looking at his shocked hyung, who couldn't quit grab the scenario that was laying out in front of him. He slowly opened the door from the drivers seat.
"Ch-Changmin?"
A few seconds of silence.
"Yes, that's my name. I would really appreciate it if you would turn those headlights out though. I don't wanna turn unneccassary attention towards us.", he then answered, his voice bringing the usual snarky attitude with him.
The tears on Jaejoong's cheeks didn't go unnoticed by the younger one but he waited until the headlights finally closed down before taking a few steps to approach his hyung.
"It's really you, isn't it?", Jaejoong asked again, needing to make sure that this wasn't an illusion.
Changmin couldn't help but chuckle. "Yes it is me, how often do you still wanna ask?"
The next moment he had a smaller man in his arms which couldn't stop sobbing and he couldn't help but tear up himself. A few whispered I missed you's where able to make out from the sobbing creature. "Shh hyung, I... I missed you, too. we missed you, too.", the younger one silently admited, noticing how the older one tensed up at the 'we'. Of course he had been angry at the three leaving members for quite a long time, but he could understand their reasons for leaving the way they did and it didn't change the fact that he had missed them so much over the years of not being able to stay in contact. It broke his heart not to answer the desperate calls and text messages of them. Even though he rarely said it out loud to them, he loved them like his own family. Being the Maknae and just being fourteen when they debuted he was still very young and had a lot to learn. They teached him so many things to get through life and always stayed by his side no matter what. Yunho and Jaejoong always had acted like his parents while Yoochun and Junsu were like his siblings.
It was hard to stop the tears from flowing especially when he could feel the older one cling to him like a little child, but eventually they faded after a while.
Big doe eyes starred up at him.
"I can't believe this is true. W-What are you doing here, shouldn't you be careful of being seen with me?"
A dry laugh escaped Changmin's throat. "I'm trying to wake up my hyungs from their idiocy."
The frown on Jaejoong's face was more than evident. "What do you mean?"
"You really don't know?"
"No"
"You and Yunho passed each other just a few minutes ago and didn't even notice.", Changmin then slowly started to explain with a sigh.
"H-He's here?", he felt Jaejoong's legs go weak at that so he tightened his hold around him.
A slow nod from his side and the older one slowly let go of him, a shocked expession on his face and sadness lingering in his eyes.
"You wanna come back with me and meet him?"
"I can't, Minnie-ah, I can't.", a desperate sound stained Jaejoong's melodic voice.
Changmin should have known that it wouldn't be that easy, knowing the hurt Jaejoong must have gone through. Yunho definitely didn't go easy at him by ignoring him and leaving just one last text message before it ended. "Please hyung, you both need it. I can see how much you miss him and he, he misses you too."
"Changmin, I can't go in there just like this. What if he doesn't wanna see me? What if he moved on? What if it's already to late?", Jaejoong tried to reason, more to himself than Changmin. It was obvious he was searching for excuses, because he was not ready for this. None of them probably was.
"You won't know until you try."
And these few words were everything Jaejoong needed to get convinced.
After Jaejoong parked his car safely again they both entered the bar again, through the backdoor though, not wanting to gain any unnecassary attention.
Jaejoong grabbed Changmin's hand since he was scared and nervous, not knowing what's going to happen. Will it be a good thing or is he just going to get his heart more hurt than it already is?
Changmin squeezed his hand to prevent him from any dark thoughts clouding his mind.
Slowly they made their way back to the table Changmin's friends sat at with Yunho, who seemed to desperately search the bar for his dongsaeng.
A smirk appeared on the maknae's lips as he approached them, his friends noticing him already wanting to tell Yunho when their expression turned to shock the moment they noticed the other person behind him.
He gave them a sign to shut up so Yunho won't notice them.
"Hyung, are you searching for me? I've got someone who wants to meet you.", Changmin then slowly said near his hyung's ear.
Yunho's eyes snapped in the direction of his dongsaeng already wanting to give him a scolding for leaving him here and asking him if he didn't already meet enough people today, when his eyes darted to the person standing slightly behind Changmin, scared of what is to come.
"Jaejoong-ah?"
