--Jaejoong's POV--
I run around the park while calling out Yunho's name, hoping for an answer. I look behind trees and under benches, not missing any spot that a man can hide in.
Without any luck, I keep on running. I can't stop until I have search the whole park, I know he is here somewhere, he have to be. I am not sure why I know, but my heart is telling me he is here surely.
The sky is now dark as night close in and the park is lit only by scattered street lamps. Clouds are covering up the moon and stars, not allowing the soft gentle moonlight nor the bright twinkling stars shine through. The air should be warm right now since it's spring time, but the wind that slaps on my face as I run feels ice cold, and it almost feels like it is cutting through the thin layer of my skin into the core of my bones. I let out an involuntary shiver. The storm must be coming.
As I pull my skimpy jacket closer to my body, I saw a bench that looked occupied. The park is usually deserted at night time, especially when there are signs of a storm coming soon. I quickly pick up my pace, and just as I predicted, Yunho is the person sitting on it. I stop in front of him, trying to catch my breath before I scold him about not picking up his phone. Just as I was about to open my mouth to speak, I realize he is sleeping. I stare at his sleeping face, he still look handsome as always, but his clothes are all wrinkled up and his hair look like he just got up from bed. But what stands out the most was his sleeping face. It doesn't look peaceful as most people would say, it looks... sad. In fact, I can see dried up tear stains on his face. My heart wrenched at the sight. Then I remember why I was here in the first place, and lean in to wake him up. I smelled alcohol, Yunho smelled like he is drenched in it.
"Yunho, wake up!" I called out to him softly so that I won't startle him.
"Hmm?" Yunho's eyes slowly opened, then he rubbed his eyes when he saw me. "Jae... Jaejoong?" He asked sounding disbelieving. I can see that his eyes are filled with pain, and they look like all hope have been drained out of him. It hurt to see those eyes. Then I snap out from our locked gaze and force my eyes away from his.
"Yes, it's me, now get up! We have to hurry, Changmin is waiting for us." I said and started pulling Yunho up from the bench. He wobbled as he tried to stand, I caught him before he fell on the ground and put my arms around him since he doesn't look like he is able to stand, let alone walking in a straight line.
"Where am I?" Yunho asked as he take in his surrounding, looking confused and lost.
"I can't believe this! Junsu's being send to a hospital and you are out getting drunk?! Some leader you are!" I yelled at him. He look at me with those pain-filled eyes again, but then they widen as Yunho processed when I said.
"WHAT?! Junsu's in a hospital? What happened? Is he okay?" Yunho fired the questions at me all in one breath as he pulled out from my embrace and grabbed my arms, shaking me forcefully, looking worried and anxious.
"Oww, Yunho, let go!" I cried out angrily and tried to pull out from his strong grip. Yunho then realized he is hurting me and immediatly loosen his hold and apologized, but still looking at me anxiously, waiting for my answers to his questions. "Junsu is overdozed with sleeping pills. He have been acting weird since this morning, didn't you notice?" I asked, while rubbing the spot where Yunho grabbed me.
"... No... I had other things on my mind..." Yunho mummbled quietly, looking down. His face that looked worried just a moment ago is now replaced by the sad expression I had seen before when he was sleeping on the bench. Then just as quickly as it came, his sad face turned expressionless. As if trying to hide that pain I saw inside, so no one would know except himself. Now he turned his blank face towards me.
"Aren't we going to find Junsu? Let's go." Yunho said and started walking away by himself quickly, leaving me behind like he is trying to get rid of me on purpose.
"Yunho, you have no idea where Junsu is. You don't know where to go without me!" I called out to him. He stopped in his track and look back at me with eyes so sad that they look like the whole world's sadness was poured into them.
"... Ya, I really don't know where to go without you... I don't know what to do without you, and I don't know how to live without you..." He said softly, his voice cracking near the end. I look at him, stunned and confused.
"Wha-What are you talking about Yunho? I don't get it..." I asked, feeling lost and choked by Yunho's melancholic voice.
"Never mind. Just take me to Junsu." Yunho said as he turn around once again, standing there waiting for me to catch up. His voice now sounds emotionless, matching his face.
I run up to him and we walk together out of the park without saying another word, allowing the angry thunders fill in the silence and big round rain drops starts to fall from the sky as it cry for Yunho, for Junsu, for Yoochun, and for everyone who is trapped by sadness. Including me.
