paris

The wind blew softly moving the strands of hair on JaeJoong's face. He sat on the green grass looking up at the big and tall structure in front of him. Even though the power of the wind was only hard enough to move a few leaves on the tree nearby, but for this man, he felt it blew at his heart. He took a deep breathe, then let it out. It's been 14 days since he's been in Paris, the city of love. "Where are you?" he asked. His words only heard by the birds surrounding him.

That day at the airport, he waited for his Yunnie in the airplane. He didn't show. JaeJoong almost got up to leave, but he asked himself to believe. To believe that his Yunnie would show up. He never did.

When he landed, the first place he went to was the Eiffel Tower. He knew his Yunnie was going to come to the Eiffel Tower. But he wasn't there. He went to the little cottage house a few miles outside of the city. A place he had worked so hard to buy, wishing that one day his Yunnie and him could spend their days there. And every morning with a smile and hope he would come to the Eiffel Tower. And everynight he would go home with tears in his eyes.

"He'll be here tomorrow," he would tell himself before going to bed. "He's coming," he would lay himself to bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yunho had moved to a different station and department. He had moved out of his apartment. He wanted to escape. He wanted to get away from all the lies.

That day after finding out everything from Siwon and Kibum. He stormed into his chief's office and demanded an explanation. The chief was shocked that his chief had used his powers for his personal reasons. Together they marched up to the departmant chief's office and asked. The chief didn't have anything but only an apology.

Yunho demanded an immediate transfer. And that no one can release any information on where he was. The chief had nothing to say but to do as Yunho asked.

Yunho now sat at the dining table. Eating a bowl of noodle. Lifeless was what Kibum described his friend nowadays. And even Siwon agreed with him.

"Yah, which one looks better?" Kibum asked.

"That one," Siwon answered.

"Really? I like the green one more," Kibum holding up two shirts up to his chest.

"Yah, the blue one is better," Siwon said.

"Really?" he questioned. "What do you think?" he turned to Yunho.

"Huh?" Yunho asked.

"Which one?" Kibum asked again.

"Green," Yunho just said without thinking.

"See!" Kibum ran into his room to change.

"Yah, why are you so nervous about this date anyways?" Siwon asked. "You normally don't prepare this much for a date," Siwon added.

"It's not a normal date!" Kibum shouted back.

"What do you mean?" Siwon asked.

"Well, we met online. And I had already missed out on the first date," he clarified. "It took me 3 weeks to get another date," Kibum said.

"Why did you miss the first date?" Siwon asked.

"Remember that day we got stuck at the airport?" Kibum and Siwon looked over to Yunho right as the words came out. "Yeah, that was suppose to be our first date, but I was stuck there," Kibum lowered his voice.

Yunho sat eating his noodle not hearing anything.

"Is she pretty?" Siwon asked.

"I don't know, I haven't met her yet," Kibum answered then grabbed his bags and ran out.

"Yah, hurry home tonight. We have physical training tomorrow!" Siwon called to his friend.

The two had followed Yunho to the new department. All three had moved into the same apartment. Siwon and Kibum didn't know everything but they knew they couldn't let Yunho live alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kibum sat in the coffee shop. His hands were sweating. He looked around to see if his date had shown up yet. His legs begin to shake. "Yah! What am I doing here?" he wondered. "What if someone notices me?" he looked around again.

Finally the glass door flew open. A tall and skinny figure walked in. The person was wearing a faded blue jeans, pink polo shirt, and sunglasses. The person looked around and the gaze stopped at Kibum.

Kibum got up and smiled.

The person walked towards Kibum.

"ChangMin?" Kibum asked.

"Kibum?" he asked back.

"It's nice to finally meet you," Kibum nodded his head.

"It's nice to finally meet you too," ChangMin smiled back.

"I'm really sorry about the last time," Kibum said.

"It's alright, I didn't wait long anyways," ChangMin lied. He had waited for his online friend for over 2 hours that day. He didn't even tell his best friend that he was coming back to Korea just because he wanted to spend time with his online pal. But when his online pal didn't show up he decided to get ahold of JaeJoong.

"I'm really sorry, I had to work overtime," Kibum explained.

"Yeah," ChangMin was still a little pissed.

"Yah, I know you came all the way here to meet me," Kibum said.

"Yah, I didn't come here just to meet you. My friend lives here. And I have a home in Korea, too," ChangMin trying to make himself seem less pathetic.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry," Kibum knew he should just apologize.

"So, that's your explanation for not showing up that day?" ChangMin asked. "Overtime?"

"I know it's stupid, but I was really in a tight spot. I couldn't leave," Kibum explained. "Come on, we've known each other for 3 years!" Kibum said.

"Yah! That was an online relationship. And if I had known that you would be like this I would of had never been in a relationship with you," ChangMin explained.

"Yah, keep it down. Everyones looking at us," Kibum looked around.

"So? Are you embarrassed?" ChangMin asked.

"It's not that," Kibum tried to explain.

"Yah, everyone listen up. Is it okay for someone to not show up at a meeting when the other person crossed countries to just get to the meeting?" ChangMin shouted.

Everyone in the shop looked over at Kibum and ChangMin all shaking their heads.

"That's horrible," one girl shouted from the corner.

"Dump him," another girl shouted.

ChangMin couldn't believe that he had just done that. He looked over to Kibum who was just lifting his head up from his hands. They both stared at each other, then bursted out laughing. Kibum got up and grabbed ChangMin's hands and they both ran out of the shop.

"Yah, I can't believe you just did that!" Kibum said as they collapsed on a bench.

"I can't believe it either," ChangMin said.

Both catching their breath as they laughed at what just happened. All of a sudden Kibum's hand came to ChangMin's hands again.

"I'm sorry, alright?" Kibum said again.

"Alright," ChangMin said. "How could I stay mad at you?"

"You look better in person," Kibum's face was now bright red.

"Yah, so all those time we spent video chatting, I wasn't looking good?" ChangMin pulled his hand away.

"That's not what I meant," Kibum explained.

"Yah, I was just kidding," ChangMin slapped him again.

The two laughed some more. They finally got up and walked around shopping and exploring the shopping areas and markets. Something Kibum had promised his online friend that they would do once they met face to face.

"Yah, have you told your friends and family about us?" ChangMin asked.

"I haven't. Sorry," he looked over to ChangMin.

"No, it's alright. I, I haven't told anyone yet either," ChangMin confessed.

"Everyone around me thinks I can't live without girls, imagine what a shock they'd get if I told them I've never had eyes for girls. And the person I have dated is a guy and to make it more interesting, it started online," Kibum laughed at the harsh reality.

"Yah, it's not only you. My best friend thinks all I do is watch porn and drool over girls," ChangMin explained.

Kibum's hand went down to ChangMin's hand again. "I'm really glad you decided to come see me," Kibum said.

"I was really not going to give you another chance, but because of something that happened to my friend and his relationship. I thought if I let you slip away without an explanation, I would regret it one day," ChangMin said.

"I'm glad that you took your friend's experience to give me another chance. And I'm really sorry about that last time. I was in a situation where I couldn't leave at all," Kibum explained.

"What was it that prevented you from coming to see me exactly?" ChangMin asked.

"Well, I was helping out a friend. He had an assignment to go recieve a big celebrity at the airport. And he asked me and two or our co-worker to come along because airport security had called and said there were thousands of fans there," Kibum stopped as he saw ChangMin's eyes get bigger. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"What was the celebrity's name?" ChangMin asked.

"Hero, he's pretty famous I suppose," Kibum said.

ChangMin jumped up in goosebumps as he heard the answer.
