Chapter 32
I lied... I love you“Shut up Yunho!” Jaejoong shouted, getting angry. He doesn’t blame Yunho, but he'd annoyed as well. He's trying to get Yunho to calm down enough to talk to him. "You need to trust me in this!"
"It doesn’t change what happened. How am I supposed to trust you?" Yunho asked, crossing his arms over his chest in a vain attempt as if to protect his heart from exploding.
"Yunho, listen. It's just temporary. Trust me….."
"You want to talk about trust? How about the fact that you knew all of these months ago and you did not tell me any of it. Not even a single word. It's like you just dropped that bomb on me and expected me not to explode? How about that, Jae?! How am I supposed to trust you to not lie to me about other things?" Yunho exploded. He had suppressed the need to lash out at him for far too long.
"I made a mistake in this, I'm sorry that I'm hurting you. What was I supposed to do when I'm all alone and your plates were already full with your work problems." Jaejoong's voice was quiet, much quieter than he expected. "You didn't even noticed that Karam is gay and I wasn't about to tell you the breaking news when you’re having your own problems at work. It seemed too cruel at the time."
"You were supposed to lean on me, Jae! Isn't that what our vows were all about?! But all of this happened because you broke our marriage vows and left me alone for ing three years! You ran to Japan and made a new life. Without me. " Yunho hissed, taking a few calculated steps closer to him.
"Don't you start with me about our marriage vows!" Jaejoong snapped violently, ing a single finger in his direction. Rage was slowly overtaking every rational thought in his mind. "You still don't get it Yunho?!" Jaejoong yelled, throwing his arms out into the space around him. "I would have never left you if you hadn't pushed me away in the first place!"
Yunho gasped and flinched as if he'd just been slapped when he realized exactly what Jaejoong said. They fell in silence once more and the silence was more deafening than anything he'd ever heard. He took another deep breath and ran his hand over his face in an attempt to regain his temper.
", Jae, baby.... I didn't mean it like that," he sighed as he brushed his stressed hand through his hair.
“Well it sure sounded like you did!"
“I’m sorry, baby.” Yunho pulled Jaejoong into a tight hug. “I love you so much. I didn’t mean to say that. I’m sorry.” Yunho said, gently. He held Jaejoong close and that calmed him and Jaejoong listened to the steady strum of his heartbeat. “Why didn't you tell me before?" Yunho asked quietly, appalled, he didn't know what to say.
“Maybe because you might act like this?” Jaejoong said freeing himself from Yunho's hug while giving him such a hurtful look. Yunho starting to feel heartless for yelling at him.
“Of course I'll act this when it comes to Yamapi." Yunho replied, this time gently.
"I’ve already expected this. I’m sorry, Yunho.” Jaejoong apologized, his voice strained and weak. "I didn't mean for it to happen like this. I didn't mean to keep it a secret and I didn't mean to put you behind. I was shocked myself. I was stupid...I brought it on myself." he whispered cupping his face in his hands.
“So how are you feeling now? Do you still think about him? How far have you gone? Do you still love each other?” Yunho asked all at once.
Jaejoong looked up at him. “That’s a lot of stupid questions.” Jaejoong said sarcastically with a smirk.
“I have a good memory, Jae.”
"You said you will forget all that what happened. Besides, Yamapi is just a friend."
"But, still I'm their father! I should come first!" Yunho looked away.
"Calm down, Yunho." Jaejoong took Yunho’s chin with his finger, turn his head upwards to his, and leaned in to press his lips to his softly. Yunho smiled into the kiss as Jaejoong nuzzled their noses together. "Calm down." Jaejoong whispered softly.
"How can I calm down when... when..."
"When what, Yunho?"
Yunho swallowed and quietly answered. "When... it's... Yamapi."
"Yunho, he's married and has his own family now in case you've forgotten."
"Yes, I know. And he agreed to have Changmin to stay with him and his family?"
"Yes."
Yunho groaned. "Do we have other alternatives, Jae? Is there another way to settle this problem besides Yamapi?" He whispered softly. His eyes never leaving Jaejoong's.
"Yunho, Yamapi is the least for you to worr
