The young teenage girl all too suddenly found herself being the center of interest amongst the female population.
The president of Jaejoong’s fanclub in particular was harassing her non-stop. She could vaguely see the 'YunJae
Movement' from a distance, watching the ensuing catfight through their weird ass binoculars.

Seulgi’s heart sank. Where were Yoochun-sshi, Junsu-sshi and Changmin-sshi when she needed them?

Mah! They were probably in their own classroom waiting for the first period to begin. Seulgi had parted ways
with them once she arrived at the juniors’ floor and the three proceeded to walk towards their own level.

Then a few minutes after, as she was on her way to her classroom, Seulgi had been forced to halt in her tracks
for she was suddenly confronted by the president of Jaejoong’s fanclub who, accompanied by her cronies began
finger stabbing her hard on the chest while continuously calling her a slut.

“You take your filthy scrawny little hands off my Jaejoong-sshi!” the fanclub president screamed at her for the
fifteenth? sixteenth? – actually the bitch was being too redundant with her claim. Seulgi had lost count.

And goddammit, if there’s one person Jaejoong-sshi belonged to that would be Yunho-oppa.

“Your Jaejoong-sshi?” Seulgi gritted her teeth in clear irritation. “Since when did he belong to you?!” she shot back,
red in the face, fuming like mad. They have been having this argument for the past ten minutes - screaming at each
other back and forth. Though she might be clearly outnumbered in this screaming contest since she was up against
the ‘fanclub members’ as a whole, she just wasn’t going to freaking back down.

“You even dared hug him! I saw you on my way to school from earlier. So don’t even deny it.” One of the members
of the fanclub exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at her.

Huh. So apparently someone saw that little gathering they had outside her house.

“So, what if I did?” Seulgi smugly retorted, cocking an eyebrow. “And besides, he hugged me first.”

Ha! It was so much fun rubbing that onto their faces. Oh, the looks that she was receiving. Priceless.

Well, it was the truth. She was busy acting playful towards Yunho and then her Jaejoong-sshi had to literally grapple
her off of him, pouting and complaining ‘Yah, I thought Seulgi liked me better.’ And if it weren’t for the glare that he
was boring into her skull, Seulgi might have actually enjoyed that little bit of heaven.

But whatever, the feeling of disappointment had been short-lived because hello, YunJae jealousy moment was happening
before her eyes again and she was a complete sucker for that.

A flash of yesterday’s events from the back of the Computer Building suddenly raced through her thoughts. In a
heartbeat, Seulgi began grinning like a lunatic because really, after the initial shock had subsided at seeing and hearing
them both doing it, she had actually thought afterwards that it was pretty fucking awesome!

“Yah! She’s actually grinning.” another member pointed out. “The nerve!!!”

Seulgi blinked, coming out of her trance. Oops, she got sidetracked again. Damn YunJae porn. Heh.

“Stay away from Jaejoong-sshi! He is made of too much awesome for the likes of you!” the president pressed on, yadi
yadi yada, like what Seulgi had said - redundant. But man, they were still scary in their own way.

It looked like after the events of the day before, everyone’s crush on the Student Council’s President had intensified because
OH MY GOD not only was he perfect - he was unimaginably brave as well.

“You better stay away from Jung Yunho too.” another one voiced out. Yunho obviously earned quite a handful of fans
from his supposed rescue of his husband. “And Yoochun-sshi.” another yelled. “Junsu-sshi.” Wow, they’re all psycho
bitches. “…and Changmin-sshi!” Were they all fucking serious? Seulgi inwardly asked.

A chorus of nods was the coincidental answer that was given and Seulgi would have laughed at the irony and the silliness
of it all if the whole ordeal wasn’t beginning to seriously grate on her nerves.

Ever since they arrived at the school, their schoolmates had all looked at them funny. Well, they were looking at her funny
while some were actually scowling. The other three were treated with pure admiration however. Not that she can blame
her fellow schoolmates. What they did yesterday for her cousin and that early morning? They more than deserve all the
praise and worship and she was personally eternally grateful for them.

Which suddenly got her into thinking about Moonbin’s attachment to Jaejoong and Yunho and vice versa.

That was just effing weird. She would have drilled Binnie for more info but alas he went missing early morning again and
practically gave them all a heart attack. Yes, her included. They had been still too shaky with the events from yesterday
and then her cousin had to pull off his disappearing act once more.

They had been worried to death.

“I’m warning you! If you ever even come close to within 50 meters of him again, I’ll make sure you suffer.”

“WAA! Everyone, Jaejoong-sshi and Yunho-sshi just arrived. They’re up on the sophomore’s floor already.” And just as
the sentence was finished, they did emerge from the flight of stairs, stepping into the juniors division.

--

“Ah!” Jaejoong exclaimed, gaze instantly landing on Seulgi’s frame amidst a crowd of female teenagers. “Seulgi-yah!”

The Shinso heir was feeling ecstatic and just overall giddy with the turn of events that happened that morning. Yunho looked
just as elated right beside him as they took longer steps towards her.

The trip to Binnie’s school had been so much fun and seriously, no words could describe how much they enjoyed the time
they had spent together. Jaejoong and Yunho had come to the agreement that they were definitely going to visit their son
frequently in school. Jaejoong was even already thinking and planning on what variety of foods was he going to be cooking
the next day for Moonbin’s lunchpack.

Jaejoong’s smile was seriously bright as the sun and the majority of the female population practically turned into a pile of
fangirl mush. The president of Jaejoong’s fanclub however was gawking in obvious denial when she realized that the smile
was fully directed at Seulgi. No way!

“Jaejoong-sshi! Yunho-oppa!” Seulgi practically squeaked, immediately running and hiding behind their backs setting them
up as her shield. “They’re threatening me and they’re forcing me to stay away from you both.”

“Nice! Good idea!” Yunho cheekily announced. But truth be told, he was starting to like her constant silent fangirling with
his and Jaejoong’s relationship. He’s noticed it. Still, it was fun annoying her.

“Yun.” Jaejoong frowned at him disapprovingly while rolling his eyes.

“She said…” Seulgi started, hitting Yunho by the shoulder for revenge then pointed at the club member’s president. “She
said Jaejoong-sshi belongs to her.” Yunho’s back instantly tensed. Ha! Jackpot!

“You said what?!” Yunho thundered, eyes narrowing into slits, directing his full glare at the mentioned female.

Jaejoong was instantly in between them acting as a wall. “Yun! Quit it. It’s not worth getting riled up for.”

“But she said…” Yunho knew it was silly. But he just couldn’t help that part of him. He had waited practically for forever
for his husband and he’d be damned if he let some human girl or boy alike take his Jaejoongie away.

“I know what she said. Calm down. Geez.” When Yunho looked ready to sulk, Jaejoong scowled at the students. He had
made up his mind a long while ago. “I don’t belong to anyone so just stop claiming me dammit!”

Jaejoong was seriously getting sick of it all. Fuck his reputation. He’s through with being the poster boy of all that there is
cute and gentle and good and kind and perfect in the world. Because he knew that he was anything but. And they didn’t
matter to him. What people thought of him didn’t matter anymore. What mattered were his family and his friends and the
fact that he was going to protect them no matter what.

“Everyone leave the premises and go to your respective classes. Seulgi you too.” he glanced at his watch then added. “First
period starts in five minutes. Get a move on and go or I’m handing out detention slips.”

The students however couldn’t seem to move a muscle from the sudden change in their ever gentle Jaejoong-sshi. Everyone
had been rooted to the spot. Even Seulgi who had always stalked the Student Council President, remained unmoving. This
side of Jaejoong was definitely not something that they had expected to exist.

He didn’t look remorseful or remotely apologetic with his sudden outburst at all. Not in the smallest sense.

Jaejoong’s eyebrow twitched at the blatant gaping. “Didn’t you hear me? I said scram!”

“Hey, what’s everyone getting stupefied in here for?” Changmin’s voice suddenly floated in the air and just like that, the
atmosphere seemed to break and everyone scurried away towards their respective classes. “Yah!”

“Minnie!” Jaejoong replied as he practically bounced towards his dongsaeng, the ‘scary president’ persona quickly evaporating
into thin air, his right hand unceremoniously slipping into Yunho’s.

“It’s good that you’re both here. Class is about to start.”

“We know.” Yunho answered, regarding Jaejoong with a completely smitten expression.

Changmin cocked an inquisitive eyebrow. “Uh, did I miss something?” Jaejoong reached out a hand to the maknae’s head and
began ruffling his dark brown strands. “Ahhh! Hyung, what have I ever told you about wrecking havoc to my hair?” Changmin
exclaimed, completely horrified at the state his hair was in.

“You should know by now Minnie that he will only do the opposite of what you asked.” Yunho said, chuckling.

“He doesn’t listen to my pleas.” Changmin pouted, trying to arrange his strands back to its usual neatness.

Jaejoong stuck his tongue out playfully. “Never.”

Jaejoong and Yunho gazed at each other and shared a grin, slinging their linked hands around Changmin’s shoulders and began
their pace. They used to do this when they were kids - squishing the youngest in between them – babying him - albeit Jaejoong
would get into arguments with Changmin as they fought for Yunho’s attention from time to time.

And now doing this simple thing such as walking together with their bodies’ close like they were being tied as one. It was
bringing back happy memories.

Jaejoong could only fervently hope for nothing to ruin that. Actually, he was going to make sure of it.

--

The school festival was nearing.

But with the roller coaster that was his life right now, he had completely forgotten about it.

Jaejoong’s head connected with the desk while the speakers continued to relentlessly call him for a meeting in the Conference
Room. And a part of him was thinking that the faculty might give him a piece of their mind regarding his behavior earlier. Not
that Jaejoong was even mildly interested in what they have to say.

The Shinso heir had been hearing talks about his ‘peculiar’ attitude all morning along with the heavy whispers about the incident that
happened the other day. Thankfully though, the students had simply dismissed it to being his usual ‘perfect’ and insanely brave self.

And that the thing he had yelled at Moonbin at the rooftop which was heard by some of the boys in his class had just been a product
of a very stressful situation because seriously, their Jaejoong-sshi a mother? He must have just been spouting random words by
then to get the child's attention.

Moments passed while more and more speculations were made and assumptions were voiced out.

It was always the same ‘Of course they’d know their way around martial arts, they’re rich.’ or the ‘Oh, maybe they’re in a gang
or something? You saw the moves they did. It was incredible dude.’ word of mouth.

But one speculation in particular made Jaejoong’s insides queasy.

“Yah, maybe they’re vampires? I heard this story about a friend who had this friend who was this friend’s sister that was suddenly
insanely strong. He swore she saw her eyes glow red and she had fangs.’

“Really? So what happened to the girl?”

“Killed her family in one night and drank their blood. Doctors said it was insanity or an illness though.”

“You think they’re? Jaejoong-sshi and the rest? Vampires?”

“Aaahh, that’s so scary! Stop it, stop it. I don’t wanna hear it.”

Sure it sounded more like a joke but it unsettled the Shinso heir nevertheless. When he had looked at Yunho’s expression, his
husband didn’t look any better. Yunho had buried his face beneath his folded arms and refused to talk. When recess time came
and Jaejoong dragged the other man to their usual spot at an unused classroom by the 'Props and Materials' storage closet, it was
then that he found out the truth.

”Blood Chinois wouldn’t realize at first what had happened to them. They would seem normal the first day but the next would
be the time they’d develop the need to feed and seeing as they’re closest with family, they’d feed on them. I’ve seen it happen
countless times before. Families getting destroyed. Innocent lives wasted.”

And to think it all started with them.

‘Just like how we made the Shinto. Shinto made Blood Chinois. It’s a cycle Joongie. It’s inevitable. The only thing I could do
was try to wipe out the Shinto race that walked the earth. But it never seems to end.’

Yunho’s voice had sounded defeated, empty and hollow.

“Mr Kim, in case you haven’t noticed, they’re calling out for you.” his teacher pointed out from the front of the class.

Jaejoong reluctantly heaved himself off his desk. Yunho’s hand was instantly on his arm, giving it a gentle squeeze for support.
Yoochun, Junsu and Changmin directed him with smiles but it was obvious that they too were feeling the stressed atmosphere
that began practically suffocating them a few hours ago.

People were making speculations about them and it all worried them greatly.

--

The meeting in the conference room grated on Jaejoong's nerves. He didn't like it anymore. Didn't like the way they all expected
him to do something 'perfect' for the school, for the festival, for everything. His opinion always mattered, his options, ideas, his
concepts. He does all of the thinking and quite frankly it was starting to annoy him like heck.

If it weren't for his human parents who were working their backs off to provide him a good life (despite the fact that they merely
see each other recently or were always not around the house like before) Jaejoong didn't think he'd want to bother himself with
school at all. But alas, he had always felt that he owed his high standards of living to his parents and he couldn't afford nor did
he have the heart to disappoint them. They were still bound by blood even if he had acquired memories of a previous life. They
were still his family through and through.

Thankfully, when afternoon came the tensed and annoyed atmosphere that Jaejoong had been living in seemed to have dissipated
into thin air. His husband and himself looked forward to fetching Binnie at his school before coming back to their apartment. Now,
they just needed an excuse to be able to do that without the Aunt and Uncle developing disturbed feelings towards them again
regarding their peculiar attachment to their nephew.

“Seulgi-yah. Are you going to go fetch Binnie before going home?” Jaejoong asked, falling in step with her and was followed
almost immediately by Yunho and the rest of the gang.

Seulgi’s other friends; apart from Soohyon namely, Heebon and Eun Ah gaped wide eyed in awe.

They were just having a conversation regarding their Jaejoong-sshi and then bam, there he was. Not to mention, he had other
four really hot guys trailing after him. But then again, weren’t he and the transfer student involved? Plus Yoochun and Junsu’s
relationship wasn’t exactly a secret at school. And sadly, Changmin’s sole love was food.

Disappointment popped its head out in the open. What a way to crush a girl's fantasies.

But, what in the world? Seulgi really wasn’t kidding when she said she had made friends with their school’s F4.

Err, scratch that. Maybe the appropriate term was F5 since the transfer student was thrown into the mix.

Seulgi nodded. “Yeah, of course I fetch him before going home especially now since he tends to wander a lot.”

“We'll come with you then!” Yunho volunteered who was busy clinging and practically groping Jaejoong in broad daylight as
they walked. Well, Yunho's arm was snaked possessively across his husband’s waist to be precise.

The two girls in the back shared a look and came to the conclusion that yes, they might really be involved. The transfer student
was after all directing them with this back off expression, the arm around Jaejooong's waist tightening its grip.

Yunho reeked the aura of a possessive lover.

“I’ve been meaning to ask…” Seulgi started and regarded them with a contemplative look. “What’s this really deep interest
you have for my cousin? I have to say that it’s really confusing the heck out of me.”

Jaejoong and Yunho had rehearsed their answers and lines when it came to everything concerning their son, of the reasons
why they were acting the way they did towards him, the reason for the attachment and the obvious affection that they had
for the little kid. They've decided to come up with a story that would at least explain things.

Yunho’s head craned towards Seulgi. “He... reminds me of my little brother.” he replied, eyes taking on a sad look.

"Oh?" Seulgi breathed, interest perking up.

"He died... a while ago." the Shinso prince added. He was aware that he was just bending the truth but the reminder of his
loss always cut deep within him. Everyone noticed this, especially Jaejoong and had placed a comforting hand on the arm
draped across his waist. “When I first saw him, I had thought it was him.”

Jaejoong let out a soft sigh. “They had the same name as well. He was very dear to us.”

Seulgi chewed on her lower lip. “Sorry.” she apologized. She just had to ask didn’t she?

The following minutes were spent in considerable silence. There were instances though that Junsu, Yoochun and Changmin
tried to engage the rest of the girls for small talk. But the atmosphere seemed strained.

Yunho and Jaejoong walked in front of the group seemingly lost in their own world. Soohyon and Seulgi were talking about
the little scene that happened in the ‘Juniors’ hallways with Soohyon cursing and swearing under her breath how she was
going to skin those bitches alive while Suelgi appeared more than ecstatic in putting said threat into action.

A few blocks away from the academy, Eun Ah and Heebon had to part ways with them as they were going to the opposite
direction. Words of ‘goodbye’, ‘take care’ and ‘see ya’ were exchanged as they went along.

When they arrived at Moonbin’s school, the little kid was by the gates engaged in a conversation with the other children as
they waited for their parents. Jaejoong and Yunho bounced towards their son, instantly trapping him in a hug.

“Jaejoong-hyung, Yunho-hyung why are you here?” Moonbin asked in mixed awe and happiness once they parted.

“We missed you.” Jaejoong and Yunho replied in unison, instantaneously smothering him with kisses.

Moonbin blushed at the gestures and quite frankly from the blatant gaping of his classmates. He had been labeled as the cold,
cool kid who didn’t like kisses and hugs from his parents in public before. He used to hate it when his Umma and Appa
baby- ed him in front of his friends, insisting that he was all grown up. But right now, he really couldn’t seem to care less even
if his schoolmates were practically regarding him like he was an alien of some sort.

Besides, it always felt freaking awesome when they gushed all over him. So who was he to complain?

--

When they arrived that night back at their apartment, Jaejoong and Yunho’s smiles were reaching up to their ears.

Fetching Moonbin and having been invited to the Bae’s house to stay for supper which effectively gave them more time to
be with their son had been a blissful moment for the two Shinso prince. Not to mention Jaejoong helped in preparing the meal
which he was more than happy to feed his family.

The house had been filled with laughter as they ate and shared stories about school and just anything that came into mind. The
Bae couple seemed to be getting more and more relaxed around the five teenagers. Moonbin’s eyes sparkled as they talked
and they had caught him gazing at them lovingly quite a number of times.

Jaejoong caressed the small photograph inside the glass panel of the locket that his husband gave him two days ago. Yunho’s
arms were around his waist once again, with his chin resting on his shoulder. His favorite place in the world. A smile flitted
across Jaejoong’s lips, relishing in the warmth of the other man and the memory of his son.

“He feels us Yun.” Jaejoong softly said. “The part of him that acknowledges us being his parents, it’s getting stronger.”

“I know. But just like what Umma said, we can’t interfere. He has to come into terms with his emotions on his own.”

Jaejoong’s face fell. “He’s happy being with us. But he seems to be constantly confused too.”

“Not surprising.” Yunho shrugged. “It was the same situation you had been in. Knowing yet not knowing who I was.”

“I wish we could tell him. I wish… I wish I could look him in the eye and tell him who I really am. Who we really are.”

“Hyung! We have a visitor.” Yunho and Jaejoong instinctively craned their necks towards Yoochun who was suddenly standing
across the living room along with Junsu, Changmin and… Heechul?

“Chullie?” Yunho asked not quite believing who he was seeing. “What are you doing here?

Heechul nodded at Jaejoong, acknowledging his presence for a brief moment before facing Yunho. “Catch.” he said, throwing
something towards his direction. Yunho’s reflexes immediately kicked in as he caught the object thrown.

“What’s this for?” Yunho asked again, eyeing the keys in his hand, bewildered.

Heechul crossed the living room area, went to an open window and pointed outside. “Since you can’t teleport anymore. I’ve
decided to provide you a means of transportation.” Everyone’s eyes widened at this. “It’s just a motorbike geez.”

All five Shinso ran towards said window and gazed outside.

And yes, there was indeed a motorbike parked below the apartment inside the walled fence.

“Hyung, you were seriously not kidding about the sugar-daddy stuff.” Yoochun exclaimed because really, who does that?

“Chullie.” Yunho was at a loss of words.

Heechul shrugged, rolling his eyes and handed him a couple more things. “Here’s you driver’s license, your birth certificate,
your school records, your police clearance and several other stuff that I’m sure you’ll be needing in living your new life.”
When Yunho merely gaped at him like a fish out of the tank, he continued. “I’m just protecting my neck. If my comrades
think that you’re anything but ordinary and happened to track your connection down to me…”

“Chullie are you in trouble?” Yunho finally managed to ask noticing the hard look in the other’s eyes.

The young sorcerer’s jaws clenched. “Just the other day, a comrade of mine knew of your true origins.”

Yoochun, Junsu and Changmin were instantly all ears while Yunho and Jaejoong’s insides froze as they stared at him.

“You don’t have to worry about anything right now. He’s not telling the organization.” he assured. “But the information he’s
gathered regarding all of you is what I’m concerned about. And it made me see things in a different light. I had to prepare
something to fill in your history.” he said, pointing at Yunho. “Basically, the four of you…” he gestured at the other four.
“…is not going to be a problem. But my comrade found it strange how he couldn’t dig up anything regarding Yunho-sshi’s
past and to think he seems completely attached to the four of you. And if that information leaked and they somehow
realized my involvement in hiding the Shinso prince and heir's existence from them then I’m just as good as dead."

The visit had been short and abrupt. After having told Yunho and the rest to keep extra caution in every action that they
made, he immediately left.

Later on, after much close inspection to the new merchandise (with constant going gaga of Yoochun regarding the stylish
interiors and exterior designs of said merchandise), Yunho finally decided to take it for a spin.

He's never understood the attachment that humans had for anything mechanical or electronic or just basically anything that
meant technology. Yunho had always been the nature kind of person. Well, their race were nature spirits on the first place,
dating back to the beginning of the world. But whatever.

"Do you even know how to ride a motorbike?" Changmin asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm immortal Min, not stupid." Yunho grumbled under his breath. He's lived for over a thousand years.

Surely they'd expect more from him.

"Oh, I was just making sure you didn't drive towards a cliff." Changmin replied, smirking and had obviously heard Yunho's
little complain.

"Joongie. Ride with me?" Yunho inquired, ignoring Min's snark.

Jaejoong pointed at himself. "Me?" he asked, wide-eyed. Seriously though, he didn't trust his husband's knowledge enough
when it came to driving. "Have you ever driven a motorbike before?"

Yunho appeared to be in thought for a second. "Once or twice."

Jaejoong paled. "Umm, I... ah, I guess I'll pass."

"Joongie." Yunho whined and was seriously beginning to pout.

The Shinso heir gazed at his dongsaeng-duel for help but they didn't look like they were going to pull him out of the situation
anytime soon. In fact, they were all grinning and smirking like hyenas. "Yah! Maybe we can go visit Binnie again!" Yunho
suddenly exclaimed when the thought settled in his thoughts.

Jaejoong was instantly on his back, putting on his helmet and handing Yunho his own. "Why didn't you say so? Let's go."

Yunho cheekily grinned in response and appeared to be just as ecstatic with the thought of visiting their son. Sure they've just been
to his house about four hours ago but that won't stop them from wanting to spend time with Moonbin to within an inch of his life.

The two said their goodbyes while Junsu, Yoochun and Changmin watched as they sped off into the night.

And apparently, Yunho did know how to ride a motorbike.
