12🌟

I yawned then frowned as someone frantically rang my bell. I opened the door and received a face full of fist. I rubbed my nose as Youngwoong hovered over me. It didn't take a genius to figure out what he came for.

"Well? Start talking." I said as I gently rubbed my nose.

"What did you do to Jaehyun? He hasn't been the same since he visited you a few days ago." hissed Youngwoong who seemed healthier than when I first got back.

"I didn't do a thing. Maybe you're changing." I said with a shrug.

"So you did do something. If you don't tell me what happened that day, I'll get Minhyun to increase your detainment time." he threatened.

"Do it. It's not like I have anything to look forward to after it's over." I replied bitterly.

I instinctively stepped back as he had reached into his pocket. Youngwoong was unpredictable when he was angry. I noticed he pulled a strange colored vile out of his pocket. I didn't know what it was, but the danger alerts went off inside of me.

"You don't actually want to do that. That's asking to get yourself killed." I said quickly in an attempt to keep us both safe. "Who would care for Jaehyun if we're both gone?"

He sighed then put it back in his pocket. I was safe, for now.

"Look, Woong, if he didn't tell you, then why not respect his wishes? Doesn't he tell you most things anyway?" I asked.

"Yeah..." he mumbled. "But I still want to know."

"Fine. We kissed. That's it. It was awkward, but that's it." I confessed, hiding the fact we had sex.

"You...!" he said angrily then calmed down. "Well, if that's all... I guess I can let it go."

Just as he turned to leave, Jaejun and Jaehyun suddenly appeared. We all stared at each other in silence. How much did they see and hear? I noticed they had brought Soojin and another little one with them.

"Jae... and Jun... What brings you here?" Youngwoong asked nervously.

"We came to see Chang... I thought you were going somewhere out of town for a while..." said Jaehyun with slitted eyes.

Jaejun took the kids and came inside.

"Mind if I take them into your room? I think a scene that they shouldn't see is about to happen." said Jaejun.

"Yeah." I said as I stood in the doorway.

"I finished early and stopped by to see Changhyun since he can't leave home, you know?" Youngwoong said with a cute look.

"But you said you'd never visit him because he was the reason you got sicker." retorted Jaehyun.

I wasn't sure if Jaehyun was taking sides or just trying to figure things out. Either way, it was interesting to watch Youngwoong trying to keep himself from drowning.

"We all know people can't really make us sicker just like that. You really believed that?" he asked quietly.

"Well I never thought you'd threaten to lengthen his sentence AND with eternal sleep. What were you thinking? All of that just because of me? Woong, I'm sorry, but you're starting to get out of hand. I don't think I'd want my future child to emulate you in the slightest." Jaehyun said with furrowed brows and the angriest frown I had ever seen.

I didn't know he was considering having a kid of his own. I quietly listened to them go back and forth then stepped aside as Jaehyun had stormed inside. I closed the door behind me then locked it. My face fell at the sight of Jaehyun's shoulders shaking.

"You can blame me, it is my fault after all." I said quietly.

I wanted to comfort him, but I was the root of his pain. Had we not kissed, we wouldn't have gotten intimate to the point we wanted to fuck. Had I not let him in, things would still be the way they should be. I was always the cause of my friend's unhappiness, yet they still kept me around. Was it out of pity? It could be that.

I quietly ushered him into the room with Jaejun then left. He would probably be better off talking to someone with an outside perspective. I flopped onto my couch and sighed heavily. Detainment was supposed to be peaceful, but it was anything but.

I found myself waking up then wondered when I fell asleep. I moved to sit up then felt a weight on top of me. I shifted my gaze and was surprised to see Jaehyun sleeping peacefully. I assumed he would've left with the others. I poked his body then waited for him to stir.

"Why are you still here?" I asked after he opened his eyes.

"Because I want to. Is that so wrong?" he retorted.

"Considering you broke up with your unofficial boyfriend hours ago, yes." I said with a sigh. Like I told him before, I wasn't going to be the rebound guy. "You should go."

"Do you still see yourself as a rebound?" he muttered into my stomach, sending little vibrations through me.

"Exactly." I replied without hesitation.

"I already told you, it's always been you. Sure, things happened between Woong and I, but you've always been in my heart." he said sadly.

"Yet you loved Woong enough to be officially unofficial with him. I bet you've seen each other naked?" I said.

"We didn't go that far. Us on the other hand..." he said as he started to run his finger over my jaw. "It was amazing."

"What do you want from me, Jae?" I finally asked, tired of his constant weird flirting.

"Your hand." he said as he sat up. "Your hand in romance."

I sat up as well. He was asking to be exclusive with me. Was he not considering the consequences of such a joining? He wouldn't be able to leave me for over a human century. Was he really okay with that?

"Jae, don't be rash about this. This is an entire 120 years of us only being able to date each other. Don't you want a beautiful wife? Kids?" I asked, despite knowing there was another way for men to have kids.

"What good is a beautiful wife if I don't love her, you know? I clearly don't know what's in the future, but I want you to be in it. I want you to be a part of all aspects of my life." Jaehyun said as he held my hands.

He clasped his hands then revealed a deep rose colored heart. I knew that stone anywhere. All stars received it when they turned 180 years old. You were to give it to someone you wanted to commit to and marry in the future. Jaehyun knew all of this, yet still presented it to me.

"Are you really sure...?" I asked softly as I gently ran my finger over the beautifully colored heart.

"Surer than the Milky Way's existence." he said with a smile.

I produced my own heart then we exchanged hearts. They started to shrink and became necklaces. This was actually happening. Jaehyun happily asked me to put it on for him. I took it from his hands and he turned his back to me.

"Your hands are cold, Chang..." he said cutely.

"Sorry..." I said then let him know I was finished.

"Let me put yours on." he said then politely asked for the necklace.

I handed it over then turn my back to him. I glanced down and saw his heart resting comfortably on my chest. He hugged me from behind then gave my cheek a kiss.

"From here on our, we're an official couple. Any complaints?" Jaehyun asked, despite knowing I certainly had some.

"No... let's just be happy." I lied as I placed my hands atop his. I leaned back and decided to just enjoy myself until the end. Whenever that was. "I bet a lot of people will be surprised huh..."

"So what? What matters is that we want to be together and make the other happy, right?" asked Jaehyun.

"Right." I answered softly.
