Changmin POV

Oh No! He’s not breathing. The water must have got into his lung. I got to save him. I’m not that clueless about the medical field, but not as expert as Yunho is, well at least I know the basics.

I performed the simple CPR, pressing against his chest a few time then blowing him some air into his mouth, and no I didn’t do this to take the chance to kiss him, it was an emergency, I have to do whatever it takes to save him. After a few times of our lips came in contact, oh god! I should stop thinking how good it felt, thankfully he was breathing again, even his heart beats were returning to normal. Thank God!

He didn’t seem to be conscious just yet, so I decided to let him lay down for awhile. I couldn’t help but to notice that he was shivering, freezing, must be because of the wet clothe, so I took this chance to take off his outer garment, leaving only his white inner. We stayed around the fire, warming ourselves by the fire while I was waiting for him to finally regained conscious.

End Changmin’s POV

The silence was slowly consuming both of them. The only sounds made were from the tipping sound of water, dripping from their wet garments on the tree while both of them stayed close by the fire to warm themselves up, and the sound made from those crickets, it seemed quiet and peaceful somehow. 

Only then, finally, Young Ho regained conscious, he’s finally fully awake. He couldn’t help but to notice the tall man who was sitting next to him.

“Oh, so you’re finally awake. I’m glad. How do you feel?” Changmin asked the older man.

“Am I already dead? Because I’m starting to see an angel right in front of me.” The older asked while he slowly getting up from the laying position he was in, which only earned a chuckle from Changmin. No matter where he was, Yunho and his sweet talks would never end.

“You’re not dead, and I’m not an angel. You should be grateful I was passing by when you fell into the water. What were you doing there in the first place? Catching the moon’s reflection?” Changmin and his sarcastic attitude would never change. The older just gave a weak smile over Changmin’s remarked, he didn’t have any strength to fight it back, at least not yet.

“I was just enjoying my time alone, enjoying the night scenery before I felt someone pushed me from behind.”

“That’s weird, I didn’t seen anyone when I got there. You sure you weren’t drunk when that all happen?” Changmin asked for conformation. The older just nod his head, confirming that he wasn’t.

‘Someone must really have hate him, but then what had he ever done to deserve something like this’ Changmin thought to himself.

“I would like to thank you for saving my life but I don’t really know whether I’m better off living than dying. Even now that I’m still alive, I’m feeling like a dead person. My life have been set by my father, he always controlled everything ever since I was little. I’ve been force to study Confucianism, literature, politics just to pass the entrance exam and became a government officer. He said I need to maintain the Jung’s power in the politics. ~Argh~ I feel so tired. Recently I heard that my father arranged a marriage for me with one of his friend’s daughter, saying that having them as alliance would bring a great advantageous to us. I really wish to live a simple live, that’s all I’m asking.” He finished his long life story to Changmin. Changmin, being a good listener he was, just stood there and listened to every word he said.

“Do you always do this? Tell stranger about your life’s stories?” Changmin asked as he looked at Yunho’s face.

“No, but somehow I found you easy to talk too. I completely forget my manner. I’m Young Ho, Jung Young Ho. And you are?” Young Ho finally introduced himself. Just as Changmin expected, only the face is the same but they are completely a different person. He’s not Yunho, the one he loved and care. He felt a little disappointed knowing it somehow.

“Changmin, Shim Changmin.” Instead of introducing himself as Lee Yoon Shik, he decided to let Young Ho knows his real name. He wanted that guy to know who he really is, he didn’t mind being called selfish for once.

“Changmin-shi.” Young Ho repeated the name a few time. His low husky voice calling Changmin like that reminds him how Yunho used to call him, full of love and gentleness. It makes his heart longed for Yunho’s touch.

“Now that we know each other, then we are not stranger anymore, right Changmin-shi?” Young Ho gives Changmin his innocent smile, just like how Yunho used to give to him.

“Changmin. Hey that’s a boy name, but you really beautiful, are you sure you not a lady?” Young Ho asked him that retard question, earning a glare from Changmin. Changmin got up and untied his top inner revealing his board flat chest.

“See? No . I am a boy, okay? So stop calling me beautiful.” Changmin pulled the cloth back up to cover his body while he made his way to seat next to the older man back.

“But you are.”

Young still acknowledge the fact that Changmin is beautiful. Changmin, being a shy boy he is couldn’t take this any longer. Quickly, he got up and grabbed his stilled wet cloth and put in on, he was getting ready to leave. Hearing Young Ho complimented him like that really made him missed Yunho so much, he missed how Yunho would wake him up in the morning while whispering cheesy lines or complement how great his look was into his ears. He wanted really much to be back in his own world right now.

“I must get going, my parents probably worried about me. You should go home too when you’re feeling a bit stronger.” With that he was ready to leave; only Young Ho prevent him from leaving by holding onto his wrist.

“You know I couldn’t shrug the feeling that we’ve met before, haven’t we?” Young Ho asked while his hand was still holding onto Changmin’s wrist. Changmin could only give him a weak smile while pulling his chin closer to his face. He planted a kiss on Young Ho’s forehead before looked him in the eyes.

“Maybe in another world.”

With that Changmin leave Young Ho. He couldn’t stop the tears from flowing out from his eyes as he walked through the empty street. He wanted to go home so badly, he wanted to return to his own world, so that he can actually be with Yunho again rather than seeing someone who has the exact same face as Yunho but it wasn’t him. 

Three days later…..

Changmin continued on with his life. He was busying himself doing chores around the house, it’s amazing how much does the old people used to do in their life, well they don’t really had any technology to help them around. Like for example the heater, washing machine, or even a stove. Here what Changmin had been doing around the house for the past few days; chopping wood, starting fire, finding woods and guess what, more chopping the food. Yup, life just keeps getting better and better for him, obviously NOT! Then, one of those days, Kyu Bok decided to drop by, check on him, well more that he visits comes with a purpose.

“Yoon Shik-ah, Lord Kim seemed like he wants us to get something done, you think you can make it tonight?” Kyu Bok asked, his face was wearing a hopeful expression, as if asking him to really join them.

“What is it this time? Steal some gold coins again?” Changmin asked in annoyance. Noticing that he was reluctant, Kyu Bok tried harder.

“Come on Yoon Shik, you know better than that, the money was given to those who needed. Anyway tonight would be a little different. We’re going to sneak into one of the noble’s resident, to retrieve some accounting book that the nobles did with the merchants illegally. Come on, it’ll be fun if you were there also, we could kick some government officer’s tonight.” Kyu Bok flashed him his assuring smile at Changmin. Of course being a good friend Changmin was, he decided to tag along as well.   

So here how the plan for that night was, the five of them will sneak into the resident, the three of them will search for the book while the other two will be the watch-out for them, in case any guard appeared. Changmin, Kyu Bok and Leetuk would be the one to search for them. And they did as they were told, wearing dark outfit with a cloth wrapped around their faces. Things were going on well, they were still in a middle of searching when Changmin accidently scanned through some other document, it stated ‘Jung’.

‘Oh no! It can’t be. This is that Jung Young Ho’s place, I just broke into his place.’ Changmin thought to himself. Right then all he could ever wish for was they found the document quickly so they could leave; he didn’t want to waste any more time there.

“Got it.” Leetuk showed to those two the document.

‘It looks old, so we went through all this trouble just to get this piece of junk. Tsk!’ Changmin thought.

As they were taking their leaves, they ran into the guard and what’s worst, Young Ho was leading them. There was seven of them, they was out numbered. All of them were drawing out their swords, and so a bloody battle began. Changmin was taking on two of the guards while Leetuk was facing Young Ho. As Changmin was fighting for his life he could help but to glance at both of them a few times. Leetuk seemed like he was winning. As Leetuk was about to stab Young Ho, Changmin just couldn’t stand and watch. He launched toward into the middle of the fight and blocked the attack with his body, causing the sword to stab right into him. Young Ho was held froze for a moment; that was when the four of them made their escape, leaving Changmin behind. The rest of the guards chased after them while Young Ho stood there, amazed by what had just happen. He opened the mask and saw who the man that had just save him. It was Changmin.     

“Changmin-shi? What…? How did….? “ Young Ho was shuttered. He was surprised to see the same guy he met three days ago. He doubted his eyes at first but then his mind knocked him some senses, he must get Changmin treated first before he asked him anything else.

Changmin’s POV

Everything looked so bright, it this mean that I’m already dead? I opened my eyes slowly and saw Yunho, he was smiling innocently at me, just like how he always did. I hold his cheek while slowing brushed my finger at it, it was soft, while he was lending more onto my palms.

‘Yunho I miss you so much.’ I felt my cheeks were getting wet, am I crying? Maybe I did. Then I saw everything turn dark, Yunho was gone. I called after him but I got nothing in reply. Then I saw a few bodies laying at my feet, I recognized them immediately, they were my family then I saw the man that killed them laughing like a mad man. I got scared and continued on crying, begging him to please stop.

I opened my eyes and felt my hand was warm, like it was holding onto something warm. I saw it was someone’s hand, Young Ho’s hand to be exact. So I am still alive?

“I’m glad you finally awaken, Changmin-shi. The doctor said you’re lucky, the wound didn’t hit any of your vital organs, so you should be fine in couple of days.” Lucky, now where have I heard about that before? Ah! It was from Yunho I think? These two are really the same. Wait, if I’m here, isn’t that mean he already found out that I’m one of them that trespassing his house, don’t he need to capture me of something? Not that I’m looking forward to it though. And why is he’s holding my hand? Aish, too many questions that deserved some answers right now, I got to ask him, but how?

I guess Young Ho must’ve seen how troubled I looked like so he started the conversation.

“By the look on your face, I’m pretty sure you have many questions to ask me as do I. So why don’t we make this simple. I ask you one then you answer it, and then you can ask your question, how’s that? Sound good?”

I nodded, obeying to that rule.

“So here’s my first question, why you were crying in your sleep?”

“I was dreaming about my past and I don’t feel like talking about it right now. So now’s my turn, I trespassed in your place, steal something from you, and even got hurt while doing so, why didn’t you just let me die?” I stared him his eyes, only to be meeting his gentle gaze.

“I couldn’t do that. You saved me, twice, so how can I let you die. You said you stole something, what was it?”

“It’s an accounting document, suppose to hold the record on the trading of your noble had done with the merchants illegally, or so that’s what I was told.”

“By whom?” He asked, but somehow I didn’t feel like telling him, I don’t want to mess up the history by revealing something that I shouldn’t have. Plus he might kill me once he found me to be no more used to him.

“You skipping turn, it’s my turn now.” He let out an embarrassed chuckled, probably realized his mistake.

“I’m sorry. So what did you want to know?” He apologized.

“If you saved me, so does this mean I’m your captive? Once you got all the information you needed from me, are you going to kill me?”

“For now, yes you’re my captive but I still haven’t report that matter to my father so we won’t know what’ll happen to you. But until then, you’re saved here. Now answer my previous question.”

“I don’t know, I knew a friend and he introduced me to a group of friends and we ended up doing a few things together and from whom they received the order I don’t know. What happens last night was one of them.”

“Sound to me, you got involved with the wrong people. What you did was wrong you know, trespassing and stuff.”

“Well they convinced me otherwise. It’s my choice, so don’t bother yourselves about it.” I retorted, this is getting really uncomfortable, the one thing I hate the most was being interrogate. I removed my hand from his hold. Did I mention we were holding hands during the Q&A session?

“Alright, I drop the subject. Now my turn isn’t it?” I nodded, agreeing to that.

“The last time we met, I asked you if we ever meet before and you said maybe in another world, what do you mean by that?” Geez, this man really does remember everything, why does he have to bring that up?

“Exactly what I said, we never meet before, because if we did, it was probably in another world. My turn, why were you holding my hand earlier?” It’s embarrassing, I know. But I just have to ask, or else I’ll be having my hope up, expecting him to be my Yunho.

“Oh…that…”He was scratching his head, probably hiding his nervousness.

“I saw you were crying in your sleep and you were sleep talking, I just had to hold your hand to calm you down, which brings me to my next question. Who’s Yunho?”

“Nothing concerns you.” I didn’t want to tell him, I mean, what was I suppose to tell him. Yunho is my lover/fiancé and his face resemble your and we both guys. Also FYI, I come from the future. Nope! Not going to happen.

“That’s too bad, because his name really close to mine. He seemed like an important person to you.” Yeah genius, you just figure that out. You guys could even be a twin. And yes, he’s the most important person to me.

“Last question from me…”I was getting tired, sleep seem like a right thing to do right now, so I’m finishing this conversation. “….what’ll you do to me? Will you let me go?”

He shook his head. No? Oh right, I’m his prisoner from today onward. I wonder what’s gonna happen to me.
