It was morning and Yunho still lying on the bed, sleeping. Then, he heard a painful noise coming from his alarm clock. Like usual indeed, he slammed his right hand lazily on top of the clock to turn it off and continued with his dreamland. He already woke up though his eyes were closing and his mind wandered around, thinking about today’s daily schedule.
‘Let’s see…homework? No need. Shopping? Hmm….Changmin already done it. Foods? Hmm….Changmin had done it for me already too. Classes ? Only 2 for today. Time? Hmm….’
Yunho’s eyes widened when he forgot about the time for those 2 classes that he need to attend. Musical class starts at 9 a.m.! He shot up from his bed and grabbed the clock beside him. 8.30 a.m. . Shit.
He immediately grabbed his towel that was hang on at the back of the door and hurriedly rushed into his bathroom. He brushed his teeth, washing his face and took a quick bath as fast as he could. He hated the fact that he being late for his class again.
Yunho rushed out from the bathroom and searched for his clothes in the closet. At his back, there was Jaejoong who still sleeping on the floor and both of his hands cupped together on his waist like a sleeping beauty from those movies. And Yunho noticed it. The guy didn’t wake up or moved a bit when he was all moving around making those fuss sounds.
Feeling suspicious, Yunho moved closely to the Jaejoong and watched him carefully. He touched the guy’s pulse underneath his chin on the left side. He can feel the beat but the guy still didn’t move an inch. ‘The guy didn’t die and yet still breathing. What is he anyway?’ Yunho questioned. Then, he admired the good looking face a little longer than it should take.
White-creamy flawless skin, long eyelashes, well-craved eyebrows, perfect nose and perfect lips. He wondered why the guy looks so awfully beautiful than the hot girls in his campus. He even wondered why the guy was a male. If the guy was a female, he would take him for a date and propose her for the wedding gown.
Suddenly, Jaejoong opened his eyes but straightaway widened when he saw Yunho face was only inches away from him. He stared at the man with shock expression. Both of them can feel each other’s warm breath touched each other’s skin.
Yunho hurriedly moved away from the Jaejoong’s face. He can feel that his cheek formed some blushes and slightly turned away before the guy sees it. He knew Jaejoong was surprised by it and Yunho swore that the guy might be looking at him now with a question mark on his face, telling him ‘what was that all about?’ Talking about embarrassment, Yunho can’t hide it any longer if he didn’t think of a way to cover it.
‘Umm….master?”
“I…I need to get ready for my class. Mrs. Kim is going to be pissed off if I’m late again. I’ll see you later!” Yunho grabbed his bag and hurriedly rushed out from the room. He didn’t turn to see Jaejoong’s face. Perhaps, he’s too scared.
Before he could even close the door, Jaejoong held it and pulled it so the door can be open wider.
“Master, let me come with you.”
That reminds Yunho that the guy’s presence was still new in this town and will bring more issues to the public. That’s explain the term clothing of Jaejoong had right now which totally different and weird. People will start questioning him about it (especially Changmin…) and it’s totally disturbance for him. Until he can find another solution for this matter, he needs to keep Jaejoong from being known to the public for a little while longer.
“No! Like I said, you need to stay here. I can’t let people saw you like this. It will cause too much trouble if you do that. I have to go to school right now so don’t run away, you got that?”
“But mas….ter,” Yunho already slammed the door (again…) before waiting for Jaejoong’s reply. Jaejoong stood there looking at the door confusingly.
‘School?’ Jaejoong thought as if he never heard that word before. He wants to chased Yunho but knowing that his master had ordered him not to. So Jaejoong have to wait until his master came back from ‘school’ again…which is during at night time.
While Yunho was riding his bicycle, his mind wandered around thinking about the situation that just happened few minutes ago. He was that close to Jaejoong face and felt that he almost kisses the other guy. He slapped himself for making such a stupid act like that. Maybe he is straight, but the guy was at fault for making him flirt at the pretty features.
Within a few minutes later, Yunho arrived at the front door of the campus and heading to his class. He glances at the wall clock and grinned at the time showed. It’s 9 am! And he made it on time!
Yunho entered the class and all students looked at him while his teacher was writing something on the board. Some of them showed an amusement of the guy’s arrival. This is because Yunho always late for class and none of the students knows if the guy was present during the class. Thankfully, he shows up right on time.
“I expected that you’ll be late again for my class, Mr. Jung,” said his teacher without looking at him. “But I suppose that you made it here in perfectly timing. Now, have a seat,” she looked at Yunho and signaling him to go get his place.
Yunho grinned happily and said “Thank you, Mrs. Kim!” as he bowed 90 degree at the tutor and headed to the sit next to Yoochun.
“Wow! You’re a little bit early today,” Yoochun teased as he looked at the guy sitting next to him.
“Haha…Yeah, right. I thought I was a goner when I looked at my alarm clock this morning but I made it on time after those quick bath and makeover,” Yunho blabbering.
Yoochun only shook his head and smiled at his friend’s silliness. Few hours later, the class ended and both of them headed to the cafeteria for lunch break.
“Urghh…I hate those notes. It’s too long and my fingers are numb because of it. It’s a musical class, why do those notes have something to do with it?” Yunho complained as he massages his hand gently.
“Hahaha….you know, Yunho? That notes are very reliable to you one day once you stepped in to a musical art event. I experienced it before and thankfully, the notes help a lot,” Yoochun looked at the menu that was hang on the wall and ordered the food that he had chose.
“Hopefully…but I still get a long way to go to reach my dream, of course. You’re lucky to be picked as one of the dancers in that event while I’m tired doing all homework that lecturer’s given me. It’s better if I can continue with my job until Changmin’s turn to graduate,” Yunho yawning and stretching.
Yoochun looked at Yunho with concern eyes. He remembered that his best friend had shared his problem with him about having tough life ever since his parents died. Yunho was run out of money that time and he have to support his life, and paid for his and Changmin’s school fees too. With the money that their parent’s left for them, it still wasn’t enough. So Yunho have to look for a job for extra earnings. Good thing that Yoochun had a family own restaurant that he can offered Yunho to work there for different shifts which is 4 days in a week.
“Yeah. By the way, I think you’re a very good brother to Changmin. You’re caring, supportive, not a very good hot-tempered guy but he’s very lucky to have you as his big brother,” Yoochun patted Yunho’s back.
“I guess so. But I just wish that I can have a baby sister instead of him. Changmin is such a brat! He’s much more annoying than any other kids in this world. And I hate the most things about him having a huge appetite and being taller than his own big brother!” Yunho exclaimed.
“Hahaha!! Don’t worry. I know how it feels being a big brother. And it takes a lot of patience to control it. As long as you can take care of things in a better way, there’ll be no problem for you to handle.” Yoochun advised.
After lunch break, Yunho and Yoochun headed for the next class. Few hours’ passes, it’s getting dark and Yunho went home with his little bicycle like always. He even wondered when he is going to use a motorcycle or a car instead of a bicycle. He sighed at the thought of money is needed for such requirements.
While he was on his way, there was a traffic jammed on the country road and it’s hard to cross the streets. He decided to take a shortcut from the public park across the road. The streets lamps were turned on, highlighting the dark area around the place. Things went well since there are no people around the place, but suddenly a mysterious soul appeared in front of him. Yunho was startled at the sudden appearance as he tried to pull the break on the holder. Accidentally, he collided with the person and fell forwardly. The person remains stand still like a brick wall as if the impact doesn’t harmed him.
Yunho groaned in pain. He looked up to take a better look on the person who had appeared in the middle of nowhere and blocked his way. Yunho’s eyes widened when the person that he saw was completely different from what he have thought in his mind.
It was a guy, wearing a dark outfit from head to toe that looks like a Dracula in either way. What scared Yunho the most is that the guy has long-sharp dark claws, a bright red eye, and a fangs show off from his mouth. Yunho was terrified at the guy and freeze on the floor as the guy approached him with a dead glare.
He reached at Yunho’s neck as he strangled the man with his left hand and pulled him to a higher elevation. Yunho was suffocated for air as he cried for help and grabbed a hold onto the guy’s arm hoping for him to let go. He tried to kick the other guy but failed. The gripped was tightened made him more difficult to breathe in.
“You…must…die…Jung Yunho,” the guy said in low voice yet can still be heard clearly and ready to attack Yunho with his other hand claws. He pulled his hand higher ready to launch the attack, letting Yunho to see it and said “Any last word….Y.U.N.H.O?”
Yunho can’t talk in his kind of state and only stared at the guys terrifying claws. He doesn't know what the guy wants from him or why did the guy wants to killed him and he's going to die any minute now. Is this going to be the end of his life? He’s going to die because of those horrible claws? What about Changmin? Who’s going to take care of him when he’s gone? He can’t let this guy took his life just like that but still, he can’t do anything. Feeling hopeless, he closed his eyes at the thought as his tears flowed down to his cheeks.
As the stranger wanted to strike him, he felt a sudden wind flashing in front of his face and released him from the tight gripped on his neck. Yunho gasping for air as he trying breathe normally and looked at his savior. Yunho was shocked at the familiar face.
“Master, are you okay?” Jaejoong appeared in front of him, looking at him with concern eyes. Jaejoong held Yunho’s back with his right arm and his left hand holding a bloody sword. Yunho guessed that the creature’s arm that holding his neck definitely was pruned by it.
“Darn it!!! How dare you interrupt my job, you imbecile!” said the enemy angrily. The guy was completely pissed off at what Jaejoong had done to him. He loses his left arm leaving the dark reddish blood spilled out and his eyes were glowing brighter than before.
Jaejoong turned at the guy and glared at him. He stood up and faced the enemy with fierce eyes.
“I despise against those who tried to kill my master. I won’t let you live even if you beg for mercy for it,” Jaejoong said calmly and run towards the enemy.
The guy smirked and run towards Jaejoong and launched an attack to him with his bloody claws. Jaejoong managed to avoid the attack and stroked his sword forwardly onto the enemy’s stomach. The creature flipped around before the metal touches his body and turned so he can aim Jaejoong’s back.
Unfortunately, before he can even react Jaejoong already sliced the man in half. Jaejoong flipped his sword and gripped the sword again as he turned around to his right, slicing the man’s body swiftly. Blood scattered around the place and the enemy fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Finally, Jaejoong defeated the enemy gloriously and put the sword back into its sheath on his back. The enemy’s body slowly turned into sands and the night breeze flew it away as if the enemy had died and will never be seen again.
Jaejoong reached for his master, who stared at him in disbelief with dropped mouth. Yunho was completely in dazed, not knowing how to react with the situation he got involved in right now.
Someone was trying to kill him a moment ago and the next thing he knew the guy that appeared in his bedroom last night showed up to save him from the danger. He thought if there’s something wrong with him or it was just a day dreaming and all the things that happened right now was just a fantasy.
“Master…”
Yunho turned at the voice owner. Jaejoong looked at him with worried eyes again, telling him whether he’s okay or not. He looked at the sword on Jaejoong’s back and turned at the owner again. Then, he suddenly passed out and everything turns black. He heard a voice cried for him, certainly not his name.
“MASTER!!!”
He didn’t want to know about it anymore. Heck; he doesn’t CARE anymore.…
