PREVIOUS: [CHAPTER 1] [CHAPTER 2]

Yunho rested his head on his palm and yawned. He blew his hair away from his eyes and looked at the watch. 4am. Oddly enough, Junsu and Yoochun both took their sleeping bags out to sleep in the living room. Its as if they knew something was going to happen.

Yunho almost fell asleep but the apartment door creaked open and Changmin's soft voice could be heard. Yunho sat up straight and waited for Jaejoong. He could hear every word they were saying outside.....

"Jaejoong-ah, you should go rest. You've had a rough night. I'm going to take a shower. ok?" Yunho could hear the rare tone of stress in Changmin's voice.

"...wait, Changmin..don't tell Yunho what happened. I'm afraid he'll.." Yunho cringed at the thought of Jaejoong hiding something from him. Again.

"But Hyung, this is serious. We can't just hide it from Yu-

"Changmin! Just don't say anything, ok? At least not all of it. Take your shower. Go." The sound of footsteps occupied the apartment as Jaejoong pushed Changmin towards the washroom door. Jaejoong rubbed the sides of his head and entered the bedroom; he was shocked to find only Yunho sitting on his bed. Letter clutched in his hand, Yunho walked up to Jaejoong.

"Yunho, is something wrong?" Jaejoong stared into Yunho's eyes. He shivered at the unusual coldness he received.

"Do you think this is funny?" Yunho hissed.

"Wha-

"Do you think that making me wait 5 hours in an old, ugly Ramen shop is such a great April fools prank?" Yunho continued.

"Wait Yunho, I can explain-

"Oh yes, Jaejoong. You're going say that you were going to give me a love letter aren't you? huh?"

"So you know?"

"Of course I know, I overheard you and Changmin the other night," Yunho smirked," I can't believe that you didn't even write your own loveletter. You made Changmin write it just for an April fools prank? And to turn out you didn't even show up to humiliate me. Is this what you call fun?"

"No. Wait, Yunho, I was at the hospital.." Jaejoong's eyes turned glassy as Yunho refused to believe everything he says.

"Likely story, Kim Jae Joong, if so, tell me why. why? Why kim Jaejoong did you end up at the hospital?"

Jaejoong stuttered.

"I....I don't ...I don't know," lying wasn't exactly easy for an honest person like Jaejoong. Yunho could see the obvious lie.

"Exactly," blinded by anger, Yunho continued, "Jaejoong, you're pathetic." Yunho ripped the loveletter.

The door suddenly burst opened revealing and tired looking Changmin clutching something in his hand.

"Jaejoong, here's your....." Changmin gasped at the sight he was greeted with. A furious Yunho who looked like he was going to murder someone and a shocked Jaejoong who had his hands over his mouth as he stared at a bunch of scattered paper on the ground.

The next few seconds went by so fast, it was only a blur for Changmin. Jaejoong bursted into tears and ran out of the apartment. Changmin decided not to run after him. If Jaejoong wanted to be alone, Changmin knew that there was nothing he could do to help. He whipped his head back and gave Yunho a death glare. Shrugging his shoulder, Yunho turned to leave for the bathroom but was met with Changmin's foot  blocking the door.

"What is it?"

"Jaejoong." Changmin stated.

"So what? He deserved it! You too! How could you even help him with such a stupid prank?! That pathetic loveletter. God, Changmin, I wanted to puke."

"Hold on. What are you talking about? What prank?"

"Stop pretending. I know everything already. Jaejoong made me wait 5 hours at a Ramen shop. He was going to give me a "loveletter". Turned out he was only doing it for an April fools prank." Yunho faked a laugh.

"Yunho. Did Jaejoong admit it was a prank?" Changmin raised an eyebrow.

"N-no. But it probably was. His excuse was that he couldn't come since he was at the hospital. Whatever. Things like this don't happen in real life. Who's he trying to kid. Changmin, don't go along with his prank anymore. That loveletter to me-

"Do you know what this is?" Changmin held up an envelope. He continued before giving yunho a chance to talk. "This is a loveletter. A loveletter I wrote. THE loveletter you probably overheard. The night before, jaejoong came to me to ask me to write a loveletter for Heechul to Donghae (*note: these are two totally gorgeous super junior members). Being Heechul's best friend, Jae Hyung knew that Heechul does not have a cell of seriousness in him. He asked me to help him knowing that I major in literature."

Yunho took a step back. But he didn't completely back off. "What about-

"Shut up and listen. The letter you ripped into shreds, took Jaejoong 5 evenings to write. He missed 4 meals and lost 3 pounds worrying over your reaction. He was walking to the flower shop to get you flowers but came across a few teenagers who were spraying graffiti on your poster outside 7-eleven. He got pissed and tried to get those teenagers away but they ended up slicing his left arm with pocket knives. Thus, the trip to the hospital."

"why didn't he tell me?" Yunho sunk against the wall and clutched his face in terror. After all the things he said to Jae...

"Jaejoong didn't want to tell you that the bunch of teenagers were spraying on only your face. He didn't want you to be upset over it."

Yunho face grew as white as the shredded loveletter laying peacefully on the ground. Jung Yunho had never felt this way in his life before. for once, he didn't know what to do.

"So Jaejoong... he li-likes me?"

"Yunho, you're the biggest idiot known to mankind." With that, Changmin left the room.

Yunho gathered the remaining pieces of Jaejoong's letter.

Junki opened his front door, "Jaejoong?"
"Hyung, can I stay here tonight?

"Jaejoong-ah.. I'm sorry" Yunho stared at his shoes afriad to meet Jae's face.

"Yoochunnie! I'll make you strawberry cake!!"
"Sorry Min, I'm having lunch with Yuri today"
