Changmin sighed as he thinking about the person he persuaded to leave Korea. The person who he told that leaving was the only way. The person that he needed to reach first before the other person in Korea could find him. The person that he actually care more than as a friend, Park Yoochun.
Yoochun was leaving Korea on the second day of his divorce and he been transferred to Japan's hospital that located in Tokyo. And Tokyo is far away from the place Changmin standing right now. It was Changmin's idea to send Yoochun away. He gladly smiled with satisfaction when Yoochun called him that day, Yoochun agreed to be sent away. He always the person that watching from afar waits for the day that he can own him one day. Like his prayer been fulfilled, he sent Yoochun on the airport and telling him that everything will be fine and he’ll be there with him soon. Yoochun hugs and smiling and crying and saying that he'll be fine no matter what. Time healed him for sure.
That was when Changmin hugged him back and asked the question.
“What if anyone ask me about you?”
Yoochun answer exactly like what Changmin want.
“Tell them nothing.”
Changmin remember that scene that happened almost a year ago. He told himself that this is the right way to protect Yoochun from hurting again. To sent him away.
Clearly, Yoochun did not only want to run. He also wanted to hide.
After 3 months of leaving, Changmin thought Yoochun already overcome the sadness and that's the right time to approach him. So he took a week holiday and off to Japan.
For what?
To check over his friend. And hoping deeply inside his heart that his arriving will surprised him and somehow make him realize the real person who really cared for all these time.

Park Yoochun wasn't worked at the hospital. He backed to Korea after he resigned after only a month.
Changmin asked anyone... Everyone...
And that was how he get his answer... but now not exactly as he wanted right now...
“Tell them nothing”

“So this is Yoochun's hideout.”
He told himself. He took off his shoes and get into the house. The house been locked so Changmin waited outside. It takes almost 6 months for him to find Yoochun, an hour of waiting will be nothing to him.
He lay on his back and looked at the ceiling before the drowsiness makes him fall to his deep sleep. His lips twitched upward as he wondered how Yoochun looks like after away for a year.

“Yeah... he is. And my legs hurt now. My mom told me to see him.” The boy show his wounded knee to Changmin
“Oo... Sit down first. We wait for Yoochun hyung together OK?!”

“You actually have a light perm. I never knew that. Well, you've always have a short hair before.”
“I did have a longer hair when I was in high school. Not after I entered medical school with you. So maybe the only person who knew is Yunho.”
Changmin realize that Yoochun did not having any problem to talk about Yunho. Is that a good sign?
“Why are you resigning in Japan?”
“Japan exactly not a place for me.”
“Then why didn't you telling me about being here.”
“I didn't?”
“No you didn't! And you told the workers in Japan to not disclosing your whereabouts.”
“Well, like you said. I need time to get away. So that what I did. Getting away.”
“I never said away from me.”
“OK... OK... I'm sorry. I just don't want... agghh, forget it.”
“So are you OK now?”
“I am.”
“OK like how?”
“Hmm... OK like... I don't cry or thinking about what happened anymore.”
“How about... OK like getting over life and step forward?”
“Step forward?”
“Yes! Like going out and hanging with someone...”
“I do that a lot lately.”
“What?! With whom?! Some country boy... or man... around here?”
“Well, maybe some of them are the man around here but mostly I'm with the elder people. But Changmin, I haven't seen you for a year. Don't tell me that these times change you to a freak. Why are you acting like this?”
“I... I just... Well, Park Yoochun. I'm staying here from now on.”
“What?”
“I said I'm staying.”
“What about your job?”
“Don't worry about it.”
“OK! Now you are really freaking me out. Changmin, what's wrong with you?”
“I just want to be with you. I supposed to be by your side in Japan. So I went there after I think that you already over everything and then you were gone! I want to be your shoulder but you disappear. You know how long did I take to locate you here? And you know what did I have to do to find you?”
Unknowingly, Changmin just being closer to Yoochun and their faces are so near to each other.
“Changmin, you are the one who told me to leave.”
“And I just told you that 'leave' is not leaving me!”
“What is wrong with you? You scare the hell out of me!”
Yoochun pushed Changmin away but Changmin grabbed his shoulder and embrace Yoochun in his strong arms. Yoochun struggling to get away from Changmin's body and he just tiring himself.
“Changmin, let me go! What is wrong with you! Please let me go!”
Changmin hold tighter to fight over the struggling Yoochun.
“Yoochun-na! Forget the past! Just stay now. Stay with me.”
“Let go of me!”
“Please stay with me...”
His begging voice succeeds in making Yoochun calm down.
“Changmin, why are you... aish, what is wrong with you.”
“I have a confession for you. I've been hiding this for too long. Seeing you going out with someone else. And then, marrying the other. Then, your betrayal... your divorce...”
“Please do not say anything from the past. And please let go of me.” Yoochun almost begging as his hands lay lifelessly on his side.
“Yoochun, don't you understand? I lo...”
“I always dream about him.” Yoochun quickly cut anything that Chnagmin tried to say.
“What?”
“He came to me. He keeps on coming nowadays. I promise myself to let go before. But letting go is painful.”
“Yunho?”
“No.”
Changmin let go of Yoochun body and look into his eyes.
“Junsu keep on coming into your dreams?”
“Changmin-na, did I make a good choice when I choose to separate with him?”
“Why are you doing this Yoochun? You know exactly why I am here now and what I’m trying to tell you.”
“Then do you know why I'm here? This is where Junsu want to be when he retires.”
“So you here for what?”
“Waiting.”
“Until when?”
“Until destiny choose of us to be together. As for now, I'm just keeping my faith on it.”
“You are saying that you actually love Junsu? After all that you've done.”
“I can't change the past. I'm just saying what I felt now.”
“Hahaha... maybe you'll love him more once you knew what he has done.”
“Whatever he done now is nothing compared to what I've done to him. I have sinned to him.”
“Yoochun, I'm your friend. Trust me... Stay with me! I just don't want you to hurt anymore. Stop remembering anyone in your life.”
“I'll never forget your support Changmin. You'll always be my bestfriend. I just don't want to hear whatever you want to say. I don't deserve it. I don't deserve you.”
“Then who? Junsu?!”
“I'm just happy with my life now.”
“Do not waste your life for that stupid jerk. And do not wear that ring anymore.”
Changmin pounce on Yoochun and held hardly his arm. He tried to take off the ring while Yoochun struggling to get away.
“Changmin please... This ring meant so much to me!”
“Stop hurting yourself anymore!”
“I don't care if he's not here. I just want to live like this.”
Changmin pushed Yoochun to the wall and still hold Yoochun's arms in order to take off the ring. They keep on fighting until they did not realize the door been opened.
“Annyong! Is there anyone... Ooo”
There he standing on the opened door, still as suave as ever.
