Within Ourselves

Forever ... Longing

~Yuna~

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Watch your head" JaeJoong said softly

We had parked outside his mansion once more and, even though I've seen this place already, I was always amazed by its beautiful colors, it's luxury and of course, JaeJoong living here by himself.

As soon as I got discharged from the hospital, not only was JaeJoong checking up on me, asking me every 10 minutes if I was alright, if there was a headache or if I was feeling bad..

"Watch your head" He said again

He took his right hand and held it above my head, as I got out of the car. The hand was suppose to protect me from bumping onto the car, and not only did that make me nervous, I was almost fainting. In order to let his hand protect my hand, we were extremely close, and I could still feel his cologne from last night.

A soft grip soon took a hold of my hand as he helped me out and when he had closed the door to the car, I saw maids and butlers running down and towards me

"Sir, the room's prepared and we've prepared dinner. Her clothes are all washed and the spa are getting prepared at the moment" The Butler bowed

"S...pa?" I stuttered and looked at JaeJoong

He smiled

"I just made a few phonecalls..." He smiled innocently

"You're giving me.. a spa? like massage? nails and such?" I said as my eyes grew bigger

"Not only you, me too" He said happily

"Wow" I breathed

"I told you I am going to take care of you. Don't think of anything. I'll have a maid to clean your apartment every two days so don't worry about that. I'll take care of everything, all you have to do for me.. is resting.. Deal?" He said

"Jae... That's actually too much.. I really.. can't" I mumbled

"Who said anything about you having an opinion and a choice in this?" He snickered playfully

I rolled my eyes

"Dinner's served Sir" The butler and maid bowed again

"Tell the chef to keep the food warm, we'll be ready for dinner in 30 minutes. We both need to take a shower. Alright?" JaeJoong said

Both of them bowed and then they ran quickly inside, in order to tell the chef and the rest of the housestaff I think that Jae was back at the mansion. He wasn't a nasty guy to them right?

"Now get up" He said as he bended down in front of me

"Huh?" I said questiongly

"Piggyback"

"What for?" I asked in confusion

"Oh come on Yuna! I'm going to take care of you and I'd rather have you fainting on my floor than out here, hurting yourself and get bruises and scratches"

"You're really.. really.. really.. weird you know that? And V E R Y overprotective" I said and mouthed the letters to VERY detailed for him

He just chuckled and kept looking at me

2 minutes passed, and as we were looking into each other's eyes, I felt myself holding my breath, not being able to breathe as his eyes was completely hypnotizing me. What was this guy doing to me?

The chest was warm, the stomach had butterflies. I was overly happy and not to mention that I was... excited. I was enjoying my time with him, and for some reason I started develop the expectations of always having him here.. right next to me...

"What if.. I just want you on my back Yuna?" He said, breaking the eyecontact and it seemed like he was embarrassed as he looked to the front again

"Why would you want to piggyback me? I mean.. I'm.."

"I don't know. I just feel good having you close to me.. That's all" He smiled

He was happy, proud and not ashamed of the words he just said. I felt my knees getting weak and that was my alarm, I had to get on his back right now. I couldn't refuse that

And so I did.

I got up on his back and shocked by his sudden strength and trimmed body, he got up on his feet, light as a feather and not even breathing heavily or dragging his feet as he was walking, he carried me into the house.
I felt my arms hugging him a bit closer and I leaned my head onto his back as I could smell the scents of his body, his cologne and his schampoo. I might sound like a crazy person but how could I not smell him?

All his words, his scents was marking their places inside my head and being carried by him just like this, I loved it.

His body was extremely toned, he was welltrained and not did he only have big triceps and biceps, his back was broad and the shoulders and the back was trained as well.
At least he took care of his body..

"You want to get down or are you planning to strangle me?" JaeJoong suddenly asked, interrupting my thoughts.

I hadn't noticed that we had already arrived inside my room and as I carefully got down, I started to sense that there was something wrong with this room.

I spun around as I got more and more suspicious and that's when I saw what he had planned for me. I saw thousands of purple and white orchids. Lilacs in the color of white, big bouquets everywhere. The first one and also the biggest one was in the corner, to the right when you entered the room. The vase was big, half of me and was designed in white and cream colors, as the details was in golden glitter. Right next to my bed I saw small and designed flowers, lilacs in white lying on the night desk right next to the bed and by the window, I saw another big vase. This one had only lilacs, along with some green plants and details.

"You prepared all this?" I mumbled, still surprised as I walked over to the first vase, right next to the door and started to smell it, touch it and just dream away as I looked at its beauty

"I uhm... yeah.. I .. yeah.." JaeJoong started

I spun around to see him having his right hand in his pocket as he was looking down on the floor, scratching the back of his head with his left hand

"Jae?" I asked happily and smiled widely at him.

He looked up slowly and a shy smile appeared

"Yeah.. I kind of prepared it... I .. uh.. yup" He mumbled

"How did you know these were my favorite flowers?" I asked, surprised

His smile soon faded away and a disappointment and some kind of anger rose but he was keeping his calm.

"I saw Donghae giving you a bouquet of flowers earlier this morning.. and I just thought that.. since he knew you ever since you were a child.. he must know.. what you like.. I was so worried about you that I had completely forgotten about giving you anything and... I th..."

I was able to quiet him as I had ran over to him, throwing myself into his arms and hug him tightly as I was happily, bringing him closer to me and laughing quietly

The happiness overwhelmed me and I started to wonder if this happiness was something that could be felt over and over again. He managed to amaze me and the more I started to get to know him, the more I started to realize that he was nothing like the rumors was saying that he were.

He was amazing. He could do small to big things and all those things was making me happy. Not just happy, but excited, warm.. and that special feeling that I cannot explain. I haven't even figured out what that feeling is but I started to like it more and more as it came back to me over and over again...

"You don't have to give me anything Jae. Just the concern, knowing that you care for me is already enough" I said and pulled away

He looked at me seriously, he was quiet but yet, a curiosity grew as some happiness was reflected in his eyes

"But I just feel.. that I should give.. you something.. and.. that something.. uhm.. I just don't want to be.. the person who's after Donghae.. I mean.. he knows you and so on but I want to and.. I just don't want to be the person who's in 2nd place and.. all.. and I know I'm saying really stupid things.. and I don't have a cl.."

"Jae, the most important things in the world are not giving something while you are competing with someone"

He looked at me as I smiled happily, moving his bangs, flicking it to the side as if I was combing it

"Gifts are just materialistic stuff. Things that cannot be seen Jae... " I quieten and fixed his collar. I then looked up at him

I could see that I had all of his attention and he was listening to me.. He looked like puppy, experiencing something new

"Are the most wonderful things that you can imagine.. And that.. is the most beautiful gifts in the world. Humans don't really know what those things are.. but.. just the feelings of it is amazing.. and just being able to feel those feelings... the thoughts.. the concern and care you have for another... That's the most special thing in the world. A lot of people don't really see.. the love that friends can give, lovers can.. parents and friends can.. and they think that materialistic things.. such as gifts you can buy, the more expensive it is, the better.. It's not like that at all.." I said

"So if I could buy an island.. for you.. that wouldn't be the best gift in the world?" He asked a bit confused

I chuckled

"No, money doesn't have a big role in this"

"But money's powerful Yuna. They can make anybody happy" he said

"Not really Jae.. Money just have the advantages and the opportunities to give you a better life.."

"But.."

I chuckled and he soon smiled. He looked around in the room and then his eyes came back to me

"So are you saying you don't like the flowers?" He asked

He didn't ask in a disappointed way, not even angry.. It was more like he was.. wondering, what I was trying to say

I shook my head

"I like them Jae. They're wonderful. Anything I receive and get, I'm always thankful and I'm always happy for it. You put a lot of effort into this.. and.. it makes me feel grateful.. Thank you" I smiled

"But there's something I still wonder... then" He said again

I nodded

"If not buying an entire Island.. the dreamland.. building your life and such there.. would be the biggest and most expensive and meaningful gift in the world.. then what is the most expensive thing?" He asked

"You're curious?" I asked

He smiled and nodded

"Of course I am. I've always believed.. that money could buy you anything.. and happiness can be bought..not for a long time perhaps but it can.. at least for awhile. Money is like.. medicine. They work for awhile but then they stop.. then you have to take a new one.." He said

"That's true.." I said

"Then tell me what is?"

He was closer to me now, as if he had approached me without me realizing it. It wasn't uncomfortable though.. But I was nervous.. and it just made our talk and the atmosphere more serious..

"The things we cannot see with our eyes, but only be felt Jae. The most expensive and the most meaningful thing we have, are also the most fragile and vulnerable thing we have"

"Are you saying we humans are fragile and vulnerable?" He asked

"Yes I am. Who wouldn't be?" I said slowly

"What is it then?" He said

"It's the heart Jae. The most fragile and vulnerable thing you have.. is your heart. The feelings you can feel with it cannot compare to anything else in the world. It's one of a kind... All humans are fragile when it comes to the heart. It doesn't matter what kind of feeling it is, let it be friendship, pain, happiness, excitement and also... Love. All humans are fragile Jae... and the heart.. are the most valuable we have within ourselves"

Chapter 75: The couple started planning for their wedding! I like how Yuna didn't pressure Jaejoong to decide immediately if they'll invite his Mom but instead give him time to think. She's really a caring and understanding person that Jaejoong is lucky to have her as his soon wife :)

Will surely wait for your next update so update soon :)
