Chapter 3 (1/1)

~Yunho P.O.V~ “Hey Junho…… Are you related to the prince or anything?  You look almost identicalto him and your name is even similar to his.”  When I heard Jaejoong’s words I felt my heartrace from nervousness.  ‘Did he see through my disguise?!’  “Uhh n-no…… I get that a lot butwe are not related in any way.”  ‘Please let him believe me!  I really can’t afford for my true identityto be revealed!’  He had a hint of suspicion in his voice but said “Oh ok then.  I was just curious I’msorry if I made you feel bothered.”  I mentally sighed in relief when Jaejoong said that.  “It’s ok don’t worry about it Jaejoong.  I’m used to people questioning me about it.”  Walking the rest of the wayto Jaejoong’s house was kind of awkward.  He seemed to be deep in thought about something so Ithought it would be best to not say a word. “We’re here!  I know it’s nothing big but…… I hope you can make yourself at home and feel comfortable.”Jaejoong’s house was really small and rundown looking.  ‘How could he live in a place like this?  Just bylooking at him you could never tell that his living conditions were this bad.’  He walked us up to his doorand gently kicked it as a way of knocking since his hands were kind of full supporting my body.  FaintlyI could hear the sound of footsteps coming closer to the door.  “Who is it?”  My ears perked up at thevoice I heard from the other side of the wooden door.  ‘A woman and…… child?’  “It’s me Jessica open thedoor.”  ‘Jessica?  Is that Jaejoong’s girlfriend or worse…… his wife?!’   The door opened suddenly and areal beautiful girl answered the door.  “Hi Jae!  How was work today?  Did you sell lots of flowers today?”She didn’t even notice that I was there until I cleared my throat loudly.  “Oh hello there I didn’t see you.I’m Jessica, Jae’s babysitter for little Karam and also his childhood friend.  Nice to meet you.”  She smiledat me and I nodded my head to her.  “I’m Junho it’s nice to meet you.”  Jessica had a small child cradled inher arms that was smiling happily while pulling on her white shirt.  She smiled slyly as her gaze traveled fromme to Jaejoong. “Hoho Jae I see you have an eye for the handsome ones…… Are you gunna make him yours?”  She gaveus a wink which caused both me and Jaejoong to blush from embarrassment.  “Shut up Jessica!  For yourinformation all I am doing is helping Junho out because he injured his ankle earlier today.”  Jessica justrolled her eyes and walked back into the small house.  “Whatever Jae.  You’d better hurry up inside beforeyou drop poor Junho.”  Jaejoong followed behind Jessica into the house silently talking under his breath.My eyes glided all over the inside of the house and I couldn’t believe some of the things I was seeing.  Theceiling and walls had cracks and holes in them, his house was really old, there were so many things that Isaw…… it would take me a while to name everything.  Jaejoong took me to his room and laid me on thetiny bed.  Next to his bed was a small white cradle, probably for his little boy.  Jessica walked in and headedtowards Jaejoong.  “Well since you seem like you’re home for good today, I’m going to go home.”  She handedJaejoong the small boy and walked over to my side and whispered in my ear.  “I see the way you look at Jaehehe……  You’d better watch yourself though because if you hurt him…… you’ll have to deal with me.  He’s hadenough problems during his lifetime that he doesn’t need anything else to be sad about.”  She pulled away andgave me a smile that sent a shiver through my entire body.  ‘How did she know?!  I really need to be morecareful not to let my emotions show on my face from now on!  And what did she mean by Jaejoong havingproblems during his lifetime?  Were they things that really affected him?’ “Bye Jae, bye Junho. Bye little Karam!  See ya tomorrow!”  Jessica exited the room and a short while laterI heard the sound of the front door closing.  Jaejoong held Karam in his arms and looked at me withcuriosity glinting in his dark eyes.  “Soooo……  What did Jessica say to you before she left?”  I smilednervously at him and tried my best to come up with a good lie.  “S-she said that she was glad to have metme that’s all.”  I tried to smile the best I could to keep him from suspecting that I told a fib.  He gave mea skeptical look and clicked his tongue.  “That’s not what she told you Junho and you know it.  I’m guessingit’s not something you want me to know since you won’t tell me so I won’t pry any further.  *Smirks* Butjust know that the moment you gave me your explanation…… I knew you were lying.”  He smiled at me as heput a now sleeping Karam inside the small white cradle.  He slowly lowered his lips on Karam’s forehead andtucked him in so he would be nice and warm.  I smiled at how loving Jaejoong was towards his son.  As Ikept on looking at the sight, my eyes widened as I saw a tiny toy in the cradle that I knew all too well……MY fluffy little brown teddy bear.  My body suddenly became warm and a smile spread across my lips.  ‘So hekept Teddy all these years?  I never thought Jaejoong would have kept it.’  ***FLASHBACK*** “Hey stop!  Give me that back!  That’s my Teddy!”  A young Yunho had tears rolling down his faceas he desperately tried to get his teddy back.  A group of older boys were gathered around him throwing the stuffed bear to one another as Yunho tried his hardest to catch it.  “Haha try all youwant shorty but you’ll never get your teddy back!  It’s ours now so get lost!”  One of the boys,taller than the crying Yunho, pushed him down with so much force that Yunho fell to the ground.“He what are you guys doing?!  Give him back his bear right now!”  The older boys looked aroundto see where the voice had come from.  A small boy, who looked like Yunho’s age, walked up to Yunho and helped him off the ground with an angry expression prominent on his face.  “Why don’tYou pick on someone your own size?”  Jaejoong spat.  One of the older boys walked towards him, with the bear in his hands,  as he smirked a dangerous smirk.  Yunho was scared of the older boy so he hid behind Jaejoong’s back.  The taller older boy stopped when he reached the younger boys and placed his index finger on Jaejoong’s forehead. “So would you rather us pick on you instead?”  Jaejoong was shooting daggers from his eyes atthe older boy.  “Yah!  Get your filthy hands off of me you big bully!”  The now fuming Jaejoongkicked the older boy in his shin.  “Ouch!  You little brat that hurt!  You’re going to regret doing that!  Come here!”  Jaejoong grabbed Yunho’s hand, and the teddy that was now lying on the ground, and ran away from the group of boys that was chasing them.  The two younger boysmaneuvered their way through the townspeople in hope of losing the angry group of boyschasing after them.  “Quick hid under here before they catch up to us!”  Jaejoong pushed Yunhounderneath a table that was covered with a beige cloth and fresh fruit.  When the boys wereunder the table, Jaejoong put his finger to his small pink lips.  “Shh…… Don’t make a soundor else they’ll find us.”  Yunho nodded his head and hugged his knees as he waited silentlyfor the moment they could leave their hiding place.  “Where did those two brats go?!  It’s allyour fault that we lost them!”  “Shut up it’s not all my fault!...... Ow why did you hit me?!”  The voices were getting softer and softer as the boys who chasing Yunho and Jaejoong walked away. Jaejoong and Yunho let out a big breath when they could no longer hear the voices of the chasers.“That sure was close!  You should be more careful next time do something like this doesn’t happenagain.  Here’s your…… bear.”  Jaejoong hesitantly stuck out his hand to give Yunho his bear.Yunho smiled brightly as he took the bear from Jaejoong’s grasp and hugged it tightly.  “I guess I’ll see you around then.”  Jaejoong began to walk away and Yunho sensed that Jaejoong wasn’t happy.In fact it seemed like he was rather sad.   “W-wait!”   Yunho grabbed onto Jaejoong’s arm and stopped him from leaving.  Yunho took Jaejoong’s hand and placed the teddy into his small palm.  “Here……you can have it.  I have another one at home.  But you have to promise me that you will take careof Teddy because he is a special bear.”  Grinning from ear to ear, Jaejoong whole heartedly took the bear and hugged it.  “Thank you!  I promise to take care of him and keep him forever!”  Thetwo boys smiled at one another as they sat under the table.  At that moment, even though he wasrather young, Yunho knew that the boy besides him would be the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.  ***END FLASHBACK***  I was smiling to myself as I reminisced about the past.  ‘That happened so long ago but I remember it as ifit just happened yesterday.’  I was awakened from my thoughts when I heard Jaejoong speak softly.“Where do you live Junho?”  I felt my entire body tense up at his question.  ‘What am I supposed to tell him?!I can’t tell him that I really am the prince and live in the castle!’  I looked around the room searching for ananswer as Jaejoong’s piercing gaze never left my face.  “I…… I don’t have anywhere to go……”  I lowered myhead and started to play with my fingers.  ‘Ugh Jaejoong is surely going to see through my lie once again!Maybe I should just come clean and tell the truth?......’  I suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around my bodyand pull me into a tight embrace.  ‘W-what?  Why is Jaejoong hugging me?’  Hesitantly, I placed my handson the warm body that was embracing me.  “Don’t worry Junho I know what it’s like to not have anywhere togo……  If you want…… even though my place is really small…… You can stay here with me.”  I felt small wet spotsfall on my shirt near my shoulder and I hugged Jaejoong closer.  ‘Why is Jaejoong crying?  Whatever the reasonmaybe I feel as if I need to protect him so that he never feels this way again.  But what am I going to do?  I can’tstay here forever…… No matter how much I may want to……’  A/N:  I’m sorry for not updating in a while buuuuuut things have been kind of hectic here……  Anyways I hope you enjoyed this update!  You guys should check our my other fic hehe I would love to see what you all think about it!  So if you have the time please read it and give me feedback and maybe even sub if ya wanna hehe.   www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/283314/forbidden-love-jaejoong-yaoi-yunho-yunjae  Anyways thanks so much for reading/commenting/subs like always they make me really happy!  Se ya byyyyyes (^w^)/
