Talk to you again at the end of the story! ^__^
“Want to join me?”
“Um…”
“If you’re in the same bed with me, you’ll know that I’m safe and sound without having to sit there staring at me. It gets creepy after an hour,” Jaejoong pointed out a-matter-of-factly.
Yunho blushed as he climbed onto the other side of the bed (so Jaejoong wouldn’t have to move). Jaejoong grinned at Yunho’s red face.
He helped Jaejoong lie back down and pulled the blanket up to cover his body. Then he slid under the blanket as well, body straight and arms to his side, not touching the man next to him.
Jaejoong frowned and decided to make the move. As much as it hurt to move, he shifted onto his side and draped his arm over Yunho’s chest. He felt Yunho tense and had to ask, “How are you doing? Still breathing?”
Jaejoong was lying on his side so he got a view of the side of Yunho’s head. Yunho looked like he was in the military, with his head turned forward and staring up at the ceiling. He wasn’t even blinking. At least he nodded.
Holding in a laugh, Jaejoong moved to drape his leg over one of Yunho’s legs. The other guy tensed up even more (if that was possible).
“How are you feeling?”
“Okay,” Yunho peeped, sounding like he was hitting a high-note.
“Breathe,” Jaejoong suggested. Yunho began to breathe again.
After several minutes of silence, his body began to relax. By eight minutes, Jaejoong was too tired. He snuggled closer and leaned his head on Yunho’s shoulder.
“You’ll get used to it,” the blond man murmured sleepily.
“I know,” Yunho smiled. Then he added, “Jaejoong, don’t call me ‘Yunho’. It’s weird.”
Eyes closed, Jaejoong cuddled closer and smiled. “I know.”

“We’ll all be spending a week at Mr. Shim’s cabin. Mr. Kim is there right now and he told me to inform you that you do not have to work this week,” Yoochun told the butler and the chauffer. “Everyone is off for the week, actually, but they will still be getting their salary.”
“Is Mr. Kim all right?” the chauffer inquired. “He did not require me to drive him yesterday. Did he come home safely?”
“Yes, he did. There is nothing to worry about,” Yoochun assured with a smile.
“There is no need to worry. He is only vacationing for a week with his friends,” the butler told the chauffer with a proud smile.
The chauffer nodded. “We hope the six of you enjoy your time then.”
“Thank you.”
Yoochun left, leaving the two employees to their own conversation.
“You do not think it is weird that Mr. Kim would disappear for a week with those five men?” one of those said.
“The truth is, I am happy for him. It makes me glad to see that Mr. Kim is finally able to find such good friends who truly care for him…and whom he is willing to trust,” the other replied.

Kibum felt the slight pain as the masked men threw him into the corner of the abandoned warehouse. The place smelt like a dumb and spider webs loitered. He gripped tighter onto the lime green watch.
“Hey, should we take that watch from him?”
“We could probably sell it for some money.”
“Why are you going to waste pathetic time trying to sell a watch when we’re going to be rich once the bastard’s friend hands over the money?”
Kibum held the watch against his chest. His friend. How was Jaejoong doing? Was he terribly hurt? Did someone see him and rescue him from the streets? Was he in the hospital right now?
Did the others know? Yunho must be hurting so much because of Jaejoong’s injuries.
Were Changmin, or even Yoochun and Junsu, worried about Kibum? Had Changmin told the others about how horrible of person Kibum really was? Would Changmin tell them not to save Kibum?
No, because Changmin wasn’t like that. He was too kind, too sweet, too perfect. Too perfect for Kibum.
Kibum didn’t want them to risk their lives to save him. He wasn’t worth it.
But at the same time, he wanted to be saved. He wanted time. He wanted to make up for his wrong doings. He wanted a chance with Shim Changmin.
He held the lime green watch against his heart. It almost felt as if his friends were there to support him, to remind him to not be scared.
But Kibum guessed that it wasn’t the reason Jaejoong had been so persistent in making Kibum painfully tear the watch off his wrist.

The police were working fast. They had to. If Junsu was correct and that the eavesdropper had been an accomplice of the kidnappers, then now was the time when the kidnappers were most relaxed. They wouldn’t suspect this early ambush.
Junsu had gotten a hold of Kangin last night. This morning, Jaejoong received a call from the kidnappers demanding for more than half of Kibum’s entire fortune. It was near evening and they were prepared to ambush the kidnappers, all thanks to Jaejoong’s GPS.
“Stay here. We will take care of everything.”
“I provided all the clues. I should be able to go.”
“You are a bodyguard, not a policeman.”
“But Kangin…”
“Stop whining, Kim.”
Junsu frowned and shut his mouth. He watched as Kangin gave instructions and directed his crew out of the police station.
Changmin, Jaejoong, Yunho, and Yoochun had been silent as well. They didn’t bother to protest because they knew Junsu wouldn’t settle for a rejection either. When Kangin and his team were gone, the four immediately surrounded Junsu.
“What do we do?”
“We break some rules,” Junsu smirked. The police had taken the tracking device and Kangin had taken the piece of paper that Junsu had written the address on. The location wasn’t familiar so Kangin had a professional check it out. He refused to give Junsu the information that the professional had found.
“If you remember the address, we can find it online,” Changmin suggested.
“There’s a faster way,” Junsu said as he removed his tie and unbuttoned the top two buttons on his dress shirt. There was one person left in the department while Kangin and his crew were all gone. “Just stay here.”
The four stood outside the department and watched through the large window. Junsu strutted towards the desk of the only person left: Kangin’s female assistant.
“What is he doing?” Yunho inquired because Yoochun was too shocked.
“Breaking rules,” Changmin drawled as they watched Junsu flirt with the police woman.
“Are women allowed to be that touchy in this era?” Yoochun finally found his voice. He was frowning.
If Changmin wasn’t worried about Kibum, he’d be smiling. “She’s known to have no shame. Junsu is frightened to death every time he sees her.”
Junsu still managed to fake laughter and look charismatic as the girl touched his arm, his back, and lowered towards his…
“She’s touching his butt!” Yoochun exclaimed.
“But he got the information,” Jaejoong pointed out as the girl’s other hand presented Junsu with a piece of paper.
Yoochun would never hit a girl, but he sure wanted to right now. She had her lips puckered and aimed at Junsu’s sexier lips. Junsu quickly turned his head so that she kissed his cheek. Then he sang, “Good-bye” and ran out.
“Let’s go!” he rushed. The other three smiled at the fact that Junsu got the directions to the location. Yoochun continued to frown.
◙◙◙◙◙
By the time the five made their way to the location, the police had already taken action. They were met with what looked like a scene from a movie. A crowd of policemen and policewomen surrounded the kidnapper and his hostage.
“All your men have been caught. Release the hostage and drop the gun,” Kangin ordered, gun raised and ready to shoot.
The five remained a safe distant away, but were able to see the man who had an arm around Kibum’s neck and a gun pointed at his head.
“Kibum!” Changmin gasped and was ready to run into the scene. Junsu held him back.
“Don’t,” Junsu ordered as Yoochun helped him drag Changmin away. They found a hiding place (behind trees) near the scene and watched as Kangin continued to negotiate with the kidnapper.
“What are you doing? We have to go help him! Look at how frightened Kibum is!” Changmin exclaimed.
“We won’t be able to save him if we just run in like that. He has a gun! Don’t worry, he won’t hurt Kibum because he still needs a hostage to keep himself safe,” Junsu retorted.
“Then what do we do?” Jaejoong murmured. Yunho squeezed his hand and encouraged him to not worry too much; it wasn’t good for his injuries.
“We use the oldest trick in the book,” Junsu began. He turned to Yoochun and Yunho to start giving out directions.
Two minutes later, when the police had dropped their guns and were buying time by pretending to call for a car that the kidnapper had requested, Yoochun and Yunho were ready to take action.
“Be careful, he has a gun,” Jaejoong laid a kiss on Yunho’s forehead to wish him luck. Changmin, Yoochun, and Junsu’s mouths dropped. Yunho blushed.
Yoochun suddenly had the urge to look at Junsu.
“Be careful,” was all Junsu said. “Now get moving, before anything happens to Kibum and Changmin starts flipping out again.”
Changmin frowned and the two got moving.
The three remained in the hiding place and watched, hearts thumping and palms sweating.
Kangin was just getting off the phone and shouting to the kidnapper, “The car is being prepared. We need time.”
“I want it within the next ten minutes or I’ll…I’ll shoot!” the kidnapper pressed the tip of the gun into Kibum’s temple. Changmin clenched his fists when he saw the pain on Kibum’s bruised face.
“No!” Kangin shouted. “You need to give us time. We…”
Before he could say anymore, all heads turned to see two figures that seemed to have leapt out of a tree. The best part was that the kidnapper was distracted; Kibum wasn’t because Kibum knew who the intruders were.
The police were about to raise their guns out of shock, but Kangin was able to recognize the two and ordered his men to hold the fire.
Yunho caused the distraction and Yoochun took the opportunity. Yunho attacked the kidnapper while Yoochun saved Kibum.
With lightning speed, Yunho used one hand to push Kibum away and the other hand to grab the kidnapper’s arm. His hand slid down the kidnapper’s arm to apply pressure to the kidnapper’s wrist, forcing the kidnapper to loosen his grip on the gun. The gun began to drop and Yunho kicked it away.
Yoochun wrapped an arm around Kibum and pulled the weak man away from the fight.
The kidnapper tried to land punches and kicks on Yunho, but failed miserable. A strike to the back of his neck sent him into unconsciousness.
It was over.
