Chapter 6 (1/1)

~Jaejoong P.O.V~ I opened my eyes and was greeted by the sight of the sun’s rays peeking in through the curtains.  Isat up in bed and stretched my arms high above loosening my sore muscles.  When I looked next tome and saw a figure lying in the same bed as me, I was so startled that I fell out of the bed and landedon the floor with a loud thud.  The figure sat shot up from the bed and searched all over for the sourceof the loud thud.  He looked at me with concern and asked “Are you ok Jaejoong?”  “God Junho youscared the shit out of me!  I didn’t recognize you at all!  I thought you were a stranger who just crawledinto bed with me!”  He just laughed at me while he tried to wake himself up all the way.  I pouted a littleas I got up to my feet and rubbed my sore spot/  “It’s not funny my ass really hurts now!”  Junho stoppedlaughing some and said “Sorry sorry.  I was caught off guard and I can’t help but laugh at how cute youare when you’re mad.”  I blushed at his statement and just rolled my eyes at him to try and hide the factthat he made me blush.  I walked over to Karam to check on him since he wasn’t making any noise yet.“We’ll have to go and get you clothes from town today since you are going to be living here and havenothing else to wear.  My clothes are probably too small for you.”  I looked over at Junho and saw that hehad a worried look on his face. You don’t have to worry about money for clothes.  Jessica’s parents own a clothing store and give me andKaram all of our clothes for free.  They are like my parents after all so I don’t think they would mind measking for clothes for you.”  He just simply smiled and nodded his head.  I smiled back and returned myeyes to the still sleeping Karam.  “Gosh you really are a heavy sleeper aren’t ya?”  I covered Karam with hisblanket and went to go get ready for the day.  “Don’t worry about lunch or breakfast.  Jessica will bring usfood when she comes over to watch Karam.  She makes me lunch and breakfast everyday even though I tellher she doesn’t have to.  But she never listens to me of course…… Now hurry up and get ready so we canleave.”  I heard a knock on the door and went to go answer it.  ‘It’s probably Jessica coming to watch Karamfor me.  But…… why is she knocking when she has a key to my house?  She probably lost it again.  Aish reallythat……girl?’  When I opened the door I was surprised to see that Jessica’s happy face wasn’t greeting me.Instead I was greeted by three royal guardsman.  ‘What’s going on?  Why are there royal guardsmen at my house?’   I was taken aback when I saw them because I had no clue why they would be here.  “Ummmm…… C-can Ihelp you?”  A tall slender man with black hair tied back stepped forward and spoke.  “We are here from theroyal castle asking for assistance from the townspeople to help and search for the crowned prince.  Yesterdayhe went missing and hasn’t been seen since the afternoon so we need your help in searching for him.  If youhave any information or see him, you are to immediately report to his majesty the king and her highnessthe queen.  Of course if you can provide us helpful information…… there will be a cash reward.  Howevermuch information you give us will determine the amount of money you will receive.  Do you understand?”I nodded my head showing my understanding and then the guardsmen turned to take their leave.  “I’mGlad you understand.  Please be on the lookout for the prince.”  I noticed Jessica walking towards my househurriedly, but stopped to bow when the guards passed her.  “Jae!  Did you hear the news?!  The prince hasgone missing!”  “Yeah I already know about it.  That’s why those guards were just here.” Jessica formed her mouth into a tiny o and pushed her way past me to go into the house.  I followedbehind her into the house to get Junho but he was already by the door ready to leave.  “Ready to go?”He nodded his head and we set off for the clothing store.  “Bye Junho, bye Jae!  Have a good day! Don’tDo anything I wouldn’t do!”  We said our goodbyes and parted way from each other.  The walk to Jessica’sparent’s store was silent but in a good way.  Just being next to Junho made me feel happy and at peace.I stole a quick glance in his direction and felt my heart flutter.  ‘Junho really is handsome.  I really wish I could tell him how I feel, but I don’t want to scare him away…… Maybe I’ll ask Jessica for advice.  She’sgood at these types of situations.  Well…… most of the time anyways.’  “Jaejoong look out!”  “H-huh?”  Thenext thing I knew I was in Junho’s arms pressed against his chest.  I could hear his heart beating at a slightlyfast speed.  My heart completely stopped.  I couldn’t believe that I was so intimately close to Junho.  I lookedup to see him looking back down at me lost in his own thoughts.  His face was slowly coming towards mine,and my heart began to wildly beat inside my chest.  ‘I-is he going to kiss me?!’  He stopped when our faceswere a few inches apart and looked at me in the eyes. Looking into his dark almond shaped orbs made my mind go blank.  With him looking at me, I couldn’t thinkor even move.  “Are you alright?”  I couldn’t form any words so I just nodded my head as a response.  Hepulled away from me and I felt down for losing the closeness between us.  ‘Really Jaejoong you thought hewas going to kiss you?  He doesn’t like you in that way so don’t flatter yourself.’  “You should pay more attentionto your surroundings.  You almost just ran into that cart of fruit.”  I looked at him and gave a small smile. “Sorry…… Thanks for helping me out though.”  “It’s no problem.  Plus you saved me too so I was just returningthe favor.  “He gave me a smile that took my breath away.  My heart was beating so hard and so loud, that I’msure he could hear it from a mile away.  “Jaejoong are you feeling ok?  Why is your face so red?”  ‘Shit he noticed!’“Ah y-yeah I’m ok…… just a bit shocked at almost running into something.”  ‘What a stupid lie!’  “Oh ok then……Well we’d better keep walking then.”  We continued on walking and finally reached the clothing store.  When wewalked in, Jessica’s mother and father came up to use with happy faces.  Her mother came up to me and gaveme a tight loving hug.  “Jaejoong it’s so good to see you!   It seems like forever since we last saw you. How have you and Karam been?”  I smiled and returned her hug.  “We’ve been pretty good.  I’ll bring him bysometime so you guys can see him.  He’s been getting bigger hehe.”  She gave me a kiss on the forehead andturned to look at Junho. “Well who do we have here?...... Such a nice handsome young man.”  Junho walked forward, took her hand, andplaced a small kiss upon it.  “Nice to meet you miss.  My name is Junho.”  Jessica’s mother touched her cheekas she blushed bright red and looked down to the floor.  “Hoho such a lovely young gentleman.”  I was beginningto get a little jealous, yes jealous, of Jessica’s mother.  ‘Che!  Why didn’t he do that to Jessica when he met her?!Aish what am I saying?!  The only person he should be doing that too is ME!’  I faked a cough and shot Junhoa not so nice look.  He looked at me with an amused expression that made me become even more irritated. ‘He’s doing this on purpose!..... But why is he trying to make me jealous?’  I looked over at her husband to seehis reaction and giggled a little to myself.  He was rolling his eyes at the sight of his wife ogling over a youngman.  “Anyways Junho and I are here to get some clothes for him.”  Jessica’s mother clapped her hands togetherand smiled with joy.  “Sure anything for you and your handsome friend Jaejoong!”  “Thank you miss.”  Junhoflashed her his killer smile and I swear I saw her eyes form a heart.  ‘Aish really?!  Again with the cheesy flirting?!Please let this visit go by fast!’ “Thank you for coming by!  It was good to see you!  Come by again soon Jaejoong and Junho!”  We wavedgoodbye to Jessica’s parents and started walking to my flower cart to begin work.  “They seem like real nicepeople.”  “They really are.  I owe them so much because they took me in when no one else would……  Oh I forgotto tell you!  This morning some royal guardsmen came to the house and told me some shocking news!  Apparentlythe prince has been missing since yesterday and if you give them any information about his whereabouts, youwill get cash!”  When I loved over at Junho his eyes were wide.  ‘I guess he is really surprised…..’  “Junho are youalright?”  He looked at me with a blank expression but shook his head yes.  “Well…… I guess we’d better start workthen.”  “Yeah…..”  ‘I wonder what’s wrong with him.  He’s acting king of weird.’  The next time I looked over at himhe had a huge grin on his face.  ‘……weird…… he sure changes moods really fast!  But I’m glad to see him smiling.He looks so much better with a smile on his face.’  I uncovered my cart and revealed all of my beautiful flowers.“Good morning my beauties!  How are all of you doing today hehe?  Junho…… Junho……”  I was calling Junho buthe wasn’t responding to me at all.  I walked over to him and waved my hand in front of his face to gain his attention.“JU~HO!”  I must have startled him because he jumped a bit.  “Hehe sorry but I was calling your name and youweren’t responding to me.” He blushed a little and rubbed the back of his head with his hand.  “Sorry Jaejoong I guess I was caught up in mythoughts.”  “It’s ok Junho I do that a lot to so no worries.”  We smiled at each other until I heard a male voice.“Um excuse me…… Sorry to interrupt but can I buy a bouquet of flowers from your cart?  It’s my anniversary today andmy girlfriend really likes flowers so I thought I’d surprise her with flowers.  She sitting right over there.”  I looked over towhere the man was pointing and saw a real pretty girl with looking around waiting for her boyfriend to return.  I smiledand looked back at the man.  “We’ll you’ve come to the right place!  Come over here and pick what kind of bouquetyou would like to pick for your girlfriend.”  I watched as the man picked out a bouquet with an arrangement of differentflowers.  “I’d like to buy this one.”  He handed me the money and I put it into a silver box.  “Great thank you very muchfor your purchase.  I hope you and your girlfriend have a wonderful anniversary together.”  The man thanked me and rushed back over to his waiting girlfriend.  I watched as he presented her the flowers and her face brighten up withsurprise and happiness.  The two walked away hand in hand and I felt myself wish that I had what they had.  I want towalk around hand in hand with Junho and be able to call him my own.  But I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. I looked over at Junho to see his standing in front of me with a flower in his hand.  My eyes grew bigger as he stuckout the flower for me to take.  He smiled and said “You looked kind of sad seeing those two so I thought I’d give you aflower.  I picked it from that bush over there so it’s not one of yours.”   I was speechless and totally caught off guard with his actions.  I felt my face heat up as I smiled back at him. “T-thank you Junho…… That was really sweet of you.”  “You’re welcome Jaejoong.”  ‘That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me……  I really wish that he was mine……’  A/N:  So another sucky chapter is done.  I hope you all enjoyed reading it!  I have so many ideas for many new fics that I think my head is going to explode!  So look forward to new fics from me kay?  Hehe anyways a big thank you to all you readers and subscribers!  You guys really make my day when I see the number of views and stuff increasing :)!  Look forward to more posts and updates from me soon!  Once again thank you guys!  See ya (^w^)/
