The wedding march started playing as he stepped unto the aisle. Flowers were every where, the scent of jasmine overwhelmed his senses as he slowly made his way towards the altar where a man wearing a white tux was waiting. Jaejoong felt happiness wash over him as he got nearer, he bit his lips as he took the final three steps towards his groom. He was sure it was his groom, the man at the altar, he knew he was his and he felt happy. Jaejoong reached out a gloved hand towards his groom meaning to make the other face him, the man reached out one hand and for a few seconds his eyes focused on the ring the other was wearing. Couple ring. Jaejoong smiled as he twined his fingers into his but before he could even look up and see the other’s face his vision faded, all he could see was black. It was dark everywhere and he could only hear voices, people talking in a language he knew he understood but couldn’t grasp the meaning. He tried to focus in the darkness hoping to see even a little glimpse of light but he was still engulfed in darkness, he felt helpless and scared, so scared that he started to shake.
“What’s happening? Where am I? what—“
“Wasurenaide, Jaejoong-sama aishiteru..yakusuko, wasurenaide…”then the voice vanished.
Jaejoong woke up with a sudden jolt, catching his breath and with sweat dripping down his pale face. He was dreaming that same dream he had for three nights now. He sat up and went out of the locker room scolding himself for falling asleep on duty again, his thoughts still trying to answer the same questions. What did it mean? Why do I keep having that same dream? He stared at his ring finger where a simple gold band designed like a horseshoe was. He traced the ring with his finger and wondered for the thousandth time about who gave it to him or what it symbolized. The man in his dream wore the same one but without his memories he didn’t know what to make of both. He sighed and kept staring at the shiny band, lost in his thoughts again trying to remember everything, anything.
“Annyeong haseyo! What can I get you sir?”
Jaejoong immediately turned towards the shop when he heard his co-workers voice greeting their first customer for the day, he was filled with anticipation knowing full well who just entered the café. True enough he saw the most handsome man he’d laid his eyes on since he started working there. He was tall, had brown hair that framed his small face perfectly and the most soulful eyes he’d seen, well next to Yoochun’s that is if you ask his employer Junsu. Jaejoong slowly made his way towards the counter next to where Changmin was and busied himself with his favorite customer’s order. He didn’t need to ask what kind of coffee he’ll serve, Yunho always ordered black coffee “no cream and just a teaspoon of sugar” he remembered him saying. When it comes to Yunho he remembers everything, the sound of his voice when he first spoke to him while he served him his coffee, what he wore; a blue polo shirt paired with ripped jeans that perfectly outlined his lithe waist and showed patches of perfect caramel skin, he blushed at the thought and continued with the task at hand.
“YunHOT is here again Hyung, your day’s made now” he just smiled at Changmin and playfully punched the other’s arm before taking the drink and setting it on top of the counter.
“Black Coffee for Yunho-ssi” he looked up and smiled at Jaejoong, slowly making his way towards him.
“Arigatou Gozaimasu Jae-san” he blushed and lowered his head, his tongue swiping his lips unconsciously which made Yunho chuckle a little.
“Care to join me?” he opened his mouth to protest and tell him that they were not allowed to sit with customers while they were on duty but before he could utter a single word Yunho just smiled again and said that he knew the rules.
“…it wouldn’t hurt to try right?” then he turned around leaving Jaejoong still staring at him.
“you guys should definitely date..” Yoochun was suddenly by his side, his hands over Jaejoong’s shoulders. He shrugged them off and walked towards the cake stand.
“shut up Park…”
“seriously Jae, he likes you and it’s quite obvious that the feeling’s mutual—ow! Sheesh...”
“go to work will you?”
“yah Park Yoochun stop messing around and work! Why are you late again?...” they both straightened up when they heard that commanding voice.
“ Good Morning Manager Kim!” all three of them said in unison and bowed. The man just nodded and told Yoochun to proceed to his office immediately. Yoochun just rolled his eyes and threw a hundred watt smile towards their manager before following him. The other two just looked at each other with knowing smiles on their faces and went back to work. With customers pouring in he didn’t have time to drop by Yunho’s table and talk to him like he did for the past few days. Without Yoochun, God knows when the “scolding” he’s getting from Junsu would end, he and Changmin had to work double time just to keep up with the orders. He knew Yunho would be out as soon as he finishes his coffee so he stole a quick glance at the said man and found him already walking out the door. His gaze followed the other’s retreating back and sighed.
“he’ll be back tomorrow Hyung”
“who?” he still pretended not to know and walked away from Changmin. The other just shook his head and proceeded to charm another pretty thing that was staring at him instead of ordering.

“Thank you for visiting Java Cup! Please come again!”
“Annyeong haseyo! Welcome to Java Cup!”
“ Oniisama! Oniisama!” Jaejoong was half-way out of the counter when a small frame clung unto his hips. Laughing he hauled the giggling child unto his arms and within seconds he was bombarded by kisses all over his face.
“hey what about me?” the three year old immediately reached out her hands towards Yoochun, clinging on his neck the instant she was safely on the others arms.
“Appa” she landed him a quick peck and turned to Jaejoong again begging to be carried. He happily obliged.
“why are you here my hime-sama?” Yoojin giggled and pointed at Junsu who was standing inches away from them, one of his arms unconsciously draped around Yoochun’s waist. Jaejoong stared at them for a moment before smiling.
“you have lessons today with Kim-ssi?” the little girl nodded and motioned to be put down. Once her feet touched the ground she ran towards Junsu grabbing the man’s other arm and putting them on her waist. Their grumpy manager let out an eu kyang kyang and lifted the child.
“careful with her Su-ah..ehm I mean, Manager Kim!” Jaejoong raised an eyebrow at the slip and acted like he didn’t hear him.
“ see you later Yoojin Hime-sama”
“ see you oniisama! Appa let’s go!” small hands grabbed Yoochun’s and he let himself be carried away, smiling apologetically at the other two.
“I’ll be back guys, promise” he mouthed. Jaejoong nodded while Changmin mouthed back a threat that if he doesn’t come back within an hour he’ll be paying the bills in their shared apartment for the whole month alone.
“So I guess will be as tired as hell today as well while the “family” goes out and haves fun..”
“you sound bitter Minnie.” Jaejoong chuckled and dodged the flour that Changmin threw his way. He looked around the full café, took a deep breath and stretched his arms getting ready for the long day ahead of him.

“Where’s that Yoochun? Aish…”
“Stop frowning, you’re scaring the customers…” Jaejoong handed the cup and smiled. “Thank you for waiting”. He glanced back at Changmin who was still pouting.
“stop that!”
“ it’s almost closing time and they’re not here yet..”
“they won’t be back , you know that”
“aish..” he nudged the other’s shoulders and motioned towards the door. A woman was standing outside the shop, craning her neck as if she was looking for someone.
“she’s here again, I wonder when she’ll finally get inside..” Changmin just grunted as he stared at her noting how she was dressed tonight. She was wearing the same jacket she wore the other night. She’d been there for a couple of days now, standing by the café’s entrance as if waiting for someone to come out. She occasionally turns around and looks at the shop, scanning the area then turns towards the street again. She’ll stay for a few minutes then walks away.
“ why don’t you go ask her Min?”
“h-huh? what did you say?”
“never mind” Jaejoong shook his head and tapped the younger’s back.
“ I’m gonna go fix the tables out front, we’re closing now okay?” Changmin just nodded his eyes still on the woman. He watched as Jaejoong went out and talked to the girl , when the two looked back at him he ducked his head and pretended to check the cash register. He glanced back again and saw the woman walking away.
“Aish!” he muttered as he tried to calm his heart beat.
“See you later Min!”
“Bye hyung!” Jaejoong waved back and started walking back inside the shop. He still had a lot of paper work to do before he could finally go home. He was half-way through his inventory when his phone rang. An unregistered number was calling him.
“yeoboseyo?”
“Jaejoong-ssi?..”
“nugoseyo?”
“it’s Yunho-ssi, uhm, Hi!..” the voice on the other line chuckled a bit and Jaejoong’s heart skipped a beat. Yunho was calling him…Yunho was calling him! He fought the urge to squeal happily like a fan girl and tried to mask the excitement in his voice when he answered.
“Yunho-ssi, how are you?”
“I’m fine, I was wondering if you’re free tomorrow night. I’d like to invite you for dinner”
Jaejoong didn’t even think about what he’d say next, he just found himself saying yes a little too loudly.
