Kibum's POV     -A few weeks later-   A sigh passed through my slightly parted lips after inhaling the fresh yet warm air which surrounded me, my eyes wandering over the wonderful landscape in front of me. Flowers and grass everywhere and the forest almost too far away for my eyes to capture it. A light breeze was blowing, the flowers rocking from side to side, it was simply beautiful. I moved my right hand up to my hair and pushed it out of my face, my hand resting on my head after it. I felt the warm sun rays on every inch of my body which wasn’t covered by my clothes, warming me up even more. Even more, because a pair of arms moved around my waist just seconds earlier, a warm and muscular chest pressed against my back while a chin was resting on my shoulder. " It's beautiful, isn't it ? " An angelic and soft voice spoke right into my ear, the hot breath of the person behind me tickling my ear shell. I giggled softly, both my hands wandering down to the hands on my stomach, placing them over the pair of slightly bigger ones. " Yes, it really is. " I smiled brightly, moving my head a bit further back to kiss the cheek of my boyfriend. A tingling feeling appeared in my belly, the feeling of his skin against my lips making me feel all fluffy inside, but what followed on my simple peck on his cheek, made my heart race and the butterflies in my stomach even wilder. He turned his head to me and pressed his soft and plump lips against mine, the soft and gentle movements of them letting me melt in his arms. No matter how often I kissed his lips already, that feeling he gave me would never change. " I love you. " His breath caressed my from his kiss burning lips. " I love you, too. " I whispered back after exhaling shakily, a weak smile dancing on my lips as I stared right into those dark brown orbs of my lover. I would've never thought that the my life would turn out that perfect after all what happened to me and Jonghyun, but it did. My life simply was perfect, even if the path to it had hurt me so unbelievable, almost unbearable much. I felt like dreaming as I stood there on this hill and was embraced by the love of my life. As I felt my boyfriend's arms loosen around my waist, I took it as my chance to turn around and wrap mine around his neck, faces just inches away from each other. " I'm so happy, Jonghyun. " I spoke, feeling him pressing his forehead against mine, closing my eyes. " Me too, I never was that happy in my whole life. " He said and I felt the soft touch of his hand on my cheek just seconds after he finished his sentence. My lips curved up as I heard that sentence out of Jonghyun's mouth once again. That day my parents tried to separate us turned out to be the most wonderful day in our lives, but also one of the saddest in Jonghyun's.   *flashback*     " Boys, please sit down, we need to talk about something with you. " Our mother said to Jonghyun and me after our parents told us to get in again. I was wondering why they just didn't pull me away and why my father just didn't get in the car again to drive Jonghyun to his new home. We both sat down on the huge couch in the living room, our parents standing in front of us with mixed expressions, but the clearest emotion which was drawn on their faces was sadness. Sadness. But why sadness ? Because they would tell us that they had to separate us and that we aren’t meant to be ? Because they’re sad they have to give away one of their sons or because of something else ? My mind was running wild the time Jonghyun's and my parents just stood there, gazing at each other and around the room. I can't tell how many minutes passed until our mother opened once again, but it felt like an eternity to me. " Okay, first of all, we both love you two like nothing else in this world and no matter what I will say now, that will never change, okay ? " She said, her voice trembling like crazy and I already realized what would happen next. I already felt my chest tighten at her words. " Jonghyun, it's about you. " She spoke shakily, closing her eyes while inhaling deeply. I gazed at her with wide eyes as I heard my brother's name fall from her lips, glancing over to Jonghyun who was clearly tensing up. I could see how scared he was, his eyes wide and his body trembling lightly. My gaze wandered back to my mother and as I looked at her I noticed how tears welled up in her eyes, making my heart race like crazy, knowing that the next coming words would hurt me a lot, but Jonghyun even more. " Jonghyun.. " She said and stopped for a few seconds, our father wrapping his left arm around her waist. " You're adopted. " He added and completed her sentence with that. I felt my heart ache. To know that I lived a lie all the time was almost killing me, but as I looked back at my-... at Jonghyun, it hurt even more. His lips were trembling,  his eyes watery and his hands nervously kneading each other. " Wh-What ? " He asked, his soft voice almost not audible anymore. " Jonghyun we love you like our own son..-" " Shut up! " Jonghyun's suddenly raised voice made all three of us flinch and while we kept silent, he buried his face in his hands, low and with pain filled sobs echoing through our living room. I didn't know what to do, so I just did what my heart told me. I hugged him. I hugged him from the side and pressed my face against his shoulder, but before I could even open my mouth to tell him anything, he pushed me away. He pushed me away with all the power he still had, standing up right after it just to stomp out of the room. As my parents and me heard the sound of keys, we all looked alarmed. I stood up as fast as possible and ran to the door which closed right in front of me. I gulped, slipped into my shoes and followed him, not even thinking about closing the door and ignoring the slight pain in my lower back. As soon as I was outside I gazed around and screamed his name, hoping to see him, hoping he would answer me, but he wasn't. I didn't even see him, I just randomly ran to the left and looked out for him there, seeing a figure walking around another edge of a house. I followed that person and as soon as I walked around that corner, I found him on the grey pavement, kneeling there while crying loudly. My eyes widened in shock and I needed some seconds to get what happened and to kneel down in front of him. " Jjong.. " " Go away, K-Kibum.. " He choked out, slowly standing up again what made me fall on my , because I knelt so close to him. I hissed in pain and stared at him as he walked further away from me, my heart aching like crazy. I knew this situation was hard for him, but why wasn't I allowed to be with him, why did he want me to go away ? I didn't want to go away, I was in love with him and I couldn't just leave him alone in that kind of situation. He needed me by his side and I knew that he knew that as well, but he probably didn't really realize what he wanted. His mind was already filled with too many other things. As the pain slowly vanished, I stood up again and walked after him, the pace of my legs faster than his, so I would reach him quickly. And as soon as he was right in front of me, I hugged him, hugged him from behind and pressed my cheek on his shoulder. It was hard for me to suppress all those tears which already welled up in my eyes, my eyelids almost not able to hold them back anymore. I felt Jonghyun's body tense up and tremble. I hated it so much to see him like that, I hated it so much that all this happened to him. " Jonghyun.. " I breathed and felt him turn around in my embrace, what I couldn't see, because I closed my eyes so I wouldn't cry. " Please don't..run away from me.. " I said..my voice slowly dying away at the end of my sentence. It followed silence, non of us was saying a word, but I was able to feel Jonghyun's gaze on me. So I let my eyelids flutter open again, gazing right into those beautiful huge eyes of my boyfriend, which were all puffy and red that moment. " I'm s-sorry. " He breathed and pulled me into a tight hug, some tears which still left his eyes wetting the fabric of my shirt, but I didn't care about that. Actually I was happy to feel those tears, I was happy that he was crying and let out all his pain, worries and disappointment. It was making me feel relieved, to know that he wouldn’t keep those emotions all for himself, because I knew how much it destroys people if they keep feelings locked up in their bodies. I placed both my palms on his shoulder blades, slowly rubbing them over his back in circular movements, trying my best to calm him down again. " K-Kibum..th-they-.. " He hardly tried to speak, his voice trembling just like his body, making him stop talking shortly after he began. And he didn't even have to bring out more words for me to understand what he was about to say. I moved my head back slowly, pressing my lips gently against his flushed and wet cheek. " I know, Jonghyun.. " I talked with a low and gentle voice, trying to calm him down with the tune of my voice and I also quickly felt how he relaxed a little more in my embrace. I softly sighed and felt relieved as his grip loosened a little around my torso, even if his sobs and whines were as loud as before. " Jjong..we need to go back home, even if its maybe hard for you now. Our parents still need to tell us a few things. " I empathized the word 'our' to show Jonghyun that this was his family and he belonged to us and not to anyone else. And it looked like it also worked. He pulled back and broke the hug we shared, rubbing his eyes lightly while nodding, some air in through his hardly trembling lips. It was so hard for me to not cry that moment, the tears which I suppressed just minutes earlier returning into my eyes. " Come.." I breathed, feeling a single tear rolling down my right cheek before taking one of Jonghyun's with his own tears wetted hands and intertwined our fingers, holding it tightly while starting to walk back home.  Home where my and also Jonghyun's parents were waiting for us.
*end of flashback*     I shivered at my memories of Jonghyun's pained expression and that life changing moment, feeling that my eyes were all teary and my cheeks wet. My gaze was lowered so I was looking at Jonghyun's waist, and I didn't know when, but I started to cry, my tears rolling down my cheeks and neck until they reached the collar of my shirt which was all wet by now. " Hey, Bummie why are you crying ? " I heard the soft and worried voice of my boyfriend close to my ear. I didn't reply and just stayed like that, sighing a bit shakily as I felt him moving his head closer to my cheek, his soft and warm lips soon pressed against my surely flushed cheek. I shivered at the gentle connection of his lips and my skin in combination with another cold breeze which was blowing over the landscape. I knew, there wasn't any reason for me to cry, but all that happiness inside me just overwhelmed me. It all felt so unreal, I was finally able to kiss him, to hug him, just to be close to him without doing something forbidden. I was finally able to show the whole world that I loved Jonghyun and we belonged to each other, no one and nothing was able to separate us. I removed my arms from him and brought them up to my own cheeks, chuckling lightly as I wiped some tears off my cheeks. " I just..remembered something. " I answered and looked up to him with a soft smile plastered on my face, not really able to open my eyes completel,y because they were so puffy and burning. I knew that he was thinking about the same things I was thinking about just moments earlier. I knew that it probably was a mistake to answer his question, but I just did it without thinking much about it. And as I felt his arms pulling me even closer to him I knew what would follow. And what would follow, were tears. Bitter tears mixed with tears of happiness.         Jonghyu
