Yunho’s POV

I felt horrible after I turned my back at Heechul, like I’m turning my back at a friend just when he needed me the most.

“Jae, c’mon!” I called for my boyfriend when I didn’t felt him beside me.

“Uhm…” I put out my hand behind me and held his tighter when I finally reached for my hand and we continued walking without sparing Kim Heechul another glance.

That name, it felt like acid in my tongue and I don’t want to say it again. One would probably think that being too harsh towards Heechul especially if they’ll see the face he had when I walked pass him.

Kim Heechul, I truly treated him as a friend, maybe even as a hyung but after what I happened, I felt betrayed and it hurts. It was only then that I truly understand how Jae felt when Junki did what he did though all things are good now. I don’t know how long it’ll take me to forgive Kim Heechul but definitely not now.

“Yunho-ah, stop spacing out, will you and feed me some ice cream. “ I snapped out of my trance at my boyfriend’s voice seeping even into the deepest of my thoughts. I turned around and smiled as I saw the pout already forming in his mouth. I used to think that he’s doing that in purpose but after being with him, as a friend and more than I friend, I learned it’s a habit of his, it just comes out naturally.

I took a spoonful of the vanilla flavored ice cream and made a move as if I’m about to feed him. Just when he opened his mouth lightly, I placed the spoonful of ice cream in my mouth.

“You!” Before I could react, he had launched his self into me and we both fell of the floor with him on top.

We struggle, both of use fighting for dominance. When I felt tired, I let him straddle me, his legs on both sides of my hips as he sat on my stomach.

“Aish! And I thought those long hours of dance practice will make you stronger.” He snickered and I let out a choked laugh.

“Get off of me, baby. As slim as you might look, you’re still heavy.” Instead of moving, he simply grabbed for the cup of ice cream and started eating the ice cream again, the spoon when the sweet started dripping.

“Ah!” He let out when a drop landed on his white shirt.

I finally got up on a sitting position and reached for some tissue.” What would you do without me, Boo?’

“Hmm, find some Daniel Henney looked alike and hook up with him perhaps?”

My eyes narrowed. “Oh, no you won’t.”

“Why not? You’re not there anyways, right?” he grinned before smacking a pillow on my eyes and running away from me.

And that’s how we started another round of pillow fighting which ended up with a few touches and kisses before we settled in bed together, sleeping in each other’s arms.

Jaejoong's POV
"Changmin-ah, will you ing hurry up!" I shouted for my brother for the nth time with 510 minutes.

"Cooommiing!"

"Yah! That's what you said 5 minutes ago, if you don't hurry up, I swear I'll ing kill you!"

A head emerge from behind the wall." Geez, hyung, I'm here already…"

"Thank God! You do know I have exam today and you take a ing long time to just fix your hair!"

Changmin smirked." That's coming from someone who takes hours just to get his hair fixed."

When I glared at him, he made a zipping motion with his mouth and pursed his lips together." I'm shutting up."

We both headed towards the door, with me looking down, digging something from my messenger bag when I bumped into Changmin.

Standing by the doorway is the one person I'd never expect to come see me.

*************

"Jaejoongie, where exactly are we going?" Yunho asked for the second time after ever since I stared dragging him s the moment our class ended

“Stop asking, Yunho… you’ll know when we get there.” I’ve been giving him that same answer for the past 10 minutes.

The cab we’re in finally stopped in front of a restaurant. I jumped out of the cab and handed some cash to the driver and thanked him.

A waiter led us to a table already reserved for us before hand. “Do you want to order now, Sir?”

Jaejoong looked up and smiled at the waiter, causing the other man to blush. ” AH, we’ll just have some tea for now.”

The waiter bowed and left the table.”You better have a good reason for dragging me in a place as expensive as this, Jae.”

I simply smiled at Yunho as a response but deep inside I actually felt nervous as I already have an idea how Yunho might react about what I had planned.

“Can’t you at least tell me what we’re doing here?” He tried once again then sighed in defeat when I made a zipping motion with my lips.

Ten minutes later, my heart stared pounding hard against my chest as I saw someone walk over to us.

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

Yunho’s head snapped back as he heard the voice coming from behind him. “What are you doing here?! Then gave me a disbelieving look. “You planned this, Jaejoong?”

“Yunho, he just wants to be able to talk to you. Please just listen to him.”

“I’m not going to listen to any of this man’s word. If you want to listen to him, you stay here but I’m leaving!”

I tried to stop him by reaching for his arms but he simply brushed my hands away. I gave Kim Heechul an apologetic room before I ran after Yunho.

“Yunho, wait! “ Within seconds we were both out of the restaurant. He’d let me catch up to him but haven’t spoken a single word. And when he finally did, I almost flinch hearing the anger in his voice.

“Since when did the two of you become friends? Since when did you accept the job of being his secretary and setting up meetings for him?!”

“I… well… he… came to the house the other day. He asked me, almost begged me to help him talk to you, Yunnie.”

“Why would you do that?” He sighed. “ You know how I feel about…”

“Exactly. I know how you feel and I want you to stop feeling that way. Feeling betrayed by him, feeling guilty towards me no matter how many times I tell you I’ve forgiven you.” I walked over to him and took his hands in mine. “Yunho, I know, just like I do, you wanted to know why Heechul did what he did.”

“But…” He sighed, leaning over and resting his head on my shoulder.

“I know you truly treated him as a friend, Yunho-ah… and you know more than anyone else, how those exact feelings almost destroyed me before, making me feel insecure and distrustful it almost stopped me from having you. It’s a tiring feeling and I don’t want you to feel that…I want you to stop feeling that. “

I heard him sigh as I ran my fingers through his hair. “You don’t need to say anything, we’ll just listen to what he has to say.”

Another sigh and he nodded his head lightly, making me smile. I pulled him by the head and we headed back towards the restaurant. It was only then that I realized that we’ve actually walked quite far.

“Mr.Kim left just before you came back in.” the waiter answered when we arrived and didn’t find Heechul at our table.

We thanked the waiter once again and turned to leave. Just when we got out of the said restaurant, we heard a panicked voice of a lady. “Oh my God! Help the man, he’s going to get hit!”

Our eyes turned to the direction of her sight and saw a truck in full speed heading towards a man.

Everything happened in split seconds, the next thing I knew I was stood frozen on the same spot as Yunho pushed the man away as his body body slammed against the giant vehicle before it landed few feet away.

“Yunho!” Tears automatically formed in my eyes when I finally snapped out of the shock I felt. Blood, Yunho’s blood, was everywhere. “Baby, no…open your eyes.”

My voice trembled as took his hands once again, not wanting to touch any other part of his body fearing I might cause him more injury.

“Joongie…” A faint smiled appeared on his lips before he closed his eyes against pushing me into a wave of panic when I felt his hands went limp.

“Yunho! Yunho!”

"All I really wanted was to apologize... for me to sincerely ask for forgiveness... I didn't mean to... I didn't want for Yunho... for Yunho to get hurt..." Heechul tightened his hold onto Junki as he cried. "Yunho has always been good to me. He... he would be the last person I'd wish to get hurt,I swear,Junki-ah, I~"

"Sshhh~ I know,I know~" Junki hug the other man tighter. As soon as he received the call from a sobbing mess that was Heechul, he'd left all the documents he still has to work on at the office and rushed to the hospital.

He found Heechul at the hallway leading to the emergency room, all alone looking weak which is so unlike the man that he makes himself appear to be.

"God, if anything happens to him, I'll never forgive myself."

"Good. Because if anything happens to Yunho-hyung, I'll make sure you'll remember it every single day that you're alive." Junki turned and found Changmin along with the YooSu couple standing few steps away from where they are seated. You'll know at one glance that the 3 young men had cried (or in Junsu's case,is still crying).

Bowing his head, Heechul bit his lips to stop himself from crying.

It is his fault, no one else, that much he knew.

"Cheoseonghamnida" was all that came out from his mouth.

Changmin scoffed."Now you're saying sorry? What? You need someone to die first before you do?"

"Changmin, that's enough!" Another voice from behind stopped Changmin from saying more.

 Turning around, they found Jaejoong looking as tired as he can be, traces of blood still very much visible on his shirt.

The three young men rushed to their hyung, pulling the older man into a hug without saying a word knowing no words of reassurance would calm Jaejoong's worried heart... Not until their Yunho-hyung himself open's his eyes and smiles at Jaejoong.

"Jaejoong-hyung, how's Yunho-hyung?" Junsu finally spoke, his voice was hoarse.

They didn't get to know about the accident until a few hours later. Jaejoong made sure that they won't worry & get distracted while at school/work so he didn't call them until their hyung was sure that their school/ work's done.

"He's still in the emergency room." Jaejoong took a shuddering breath, one can see that he's still in shock from the accident but is trying hard to hold himself up."It's been more almost 2 hours but none of the doctors or the nurse had come out yet. What if...?"

"Yunho-hyung's gonna be fine, he's a strong guy."

"Jaejoong-sshi~"

Yoochun had stepped up in front of Jaejoong blocking Heechul from getting close to Jaejoong. "Please, Heechul-sshi,I would truly appreciate it if you'll just leave my hyungdeul for now."

"But I just want to..." Heechul started but stopped at the feel of Junki's hand in his.

"Let's just go for now, hmm?" Junki stated, looking at Heechul with that gentle & loving eyes of his rendering the other man speechless and non-resistant as Junki pulled him to leave.

*****

The 4 men fell asleep in a heap in the chairs along the hallway as they waited & waited for any update on Yunho's condition. It wasn't until a good few hours later that a doctor finally emerged from the emergency room waking the lads in an instant.

"Are you with Jung Yunho?"

"I'm his boyfriend." Jaejoong replied, feeling anxious as he waited for what the doctor has to say. "How's he?"

"He's already out of danger for now." Jae couldn't help but to let out a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor's word."But we still need to put him under observation to ensure that the wound on his head won't start bleeding again & cause complications.

"Thank God."

"Can we see our hyung now?" Junsu squeaked from beside Jae.

"We'll be moving him in a private room in a moment. We'll let you know when you can see him.

"You hear that, hyung? Yunho-hyung's safe now." Changmin turned to his brother with a smile.

"He is." Jaejoong returned the smile before he found himself being pulled in a group hug as each of them uttered a silent prayer of gratitude.

**********

"Yunho-ah~ wake up soon ne?"Jaejoong took Yunho's hand in his as he watch the other's chest raise and fall as he sleep soundly.

The doctor had informed me, us, that Yunho would be asleep for another good 24-48hours or so due to the medications w/c would start his recovery. We we're given a warning though that until he wakes up and get checked up on, we can't be 100% sure if there's still something to really worry about.

"Yunho-ah~ My Yunho~" I repeatedly uttered his name as I planted soft, feathery kiss on his hand.

I heard the door creak open followed by the bantering voices of Junsu & Changmin.

"Yah! You're such a monster, you know that? How can you eat all of that and still feel hungry?"

"Well, I'm a growing young kid!"

"I bet that you'll keep on saying that til you're 80 years old."

"Quiet, you two!" I chuckled at Yoochun's voice.

"Oh, you're awake, hyung." I nodded at my brother's statement.

"We brought you food, hyung." Junsu stated as he placed a plastic bag filled with foods on the side table.

I opened my mouth ready to refuse the food since I really don't have an appetite but Yoochun spoke first.

"Oh, no! No, no, no, no! You're not going to refuse, hyung. You haven't had any decent meals for the past 24 hours." I tried to voice out my refusal again but failed.

"D'you think Yunho-hyung would be happy to find out that you haven't been eating?" Changmin asked and that did it. Jaejoong reached for the Styrofoam container that Junsu's been holding out for him and unconsciously pouted.

"Fine!"

*********

With Yunho not waking up anytime soon, Jaejooong had been forced by both his brother & friends to go home & and rest and "more importantly" to take a shower as he's started to smell.

Jaejoong take a sniff at himself."But I don't smell. Aish! Those bastards!"

Even with such word, Jaejoong couldn't be more thankful for having them. He wouldn't know what could have become of him all these times if they weren't by his side.

On his way out, he saw a small chapel & decided that now would be a great time to give thanks to the one from up above.

Despite the hardships, the heartache, Jaejoong knows there's still a lot more that he should be thankful for.

Choosing a place nearest to the altar, Jaejoong kneeled and closed his eyes as clasped his hands together as he said a short & sincere prayer. Once he's done, he kept his eyes closed for another minute or two before he stand up & turn to leave.

"Kim Jaejoong-ssi, can we talk?" Kim Heechul
