"Jae..." Changmin called his name in a soft voice.

"Yes?" He looked up, and met Changmin's eyes.

"Why don't you accept Yunho hyung? He's been courting you for a very long time," He asked him, pain obvious in his voice for he expect an answer that will hurt him.

Jaejoong stood up, facing Changmin.

"Because I don't love him... I love someone else." He replied hesitatingly. "You're the one I love Min... ever since." Before Changmin fully understood Jaejoong's words, soft lips captured his own and he closed his eyes, pulling Jaejoong into a more passionate kiss.

"Jaejoong... before you go... can I say I love you one last time?" He held his pale hands tightly, wishing everything will be back to the way it was before. Tears stained his cheeks as he muttered Jaejoong's name.

"Hyung... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I've done. It's all my fault." He saw tears in his brother's eyes and the guilt was eating him up more and more.

"Changmin... I didn't just lose the one I love. I lose a brother, I lose a friend...I lose you." Then he left without even turning back, leaving Changmin staring in nowhere, thinking how loving a person can ruin so many lives, break so many ties, and shatter so many hearts.
