#01 – Ring

 

Jaejoong used to look at the silver band on his ring finger and wish for the sacred meaning it could never have.

 

#02 – Hero

 

Every morning that Yoochun woke up to find himself in the arms of his lover, he thanked God for sending him the one whom he owned his sanity – his personal hero.

 

#03 – Memory

 

Watching his lover go about his day, Jaejoong catalogues every single movement, every smile, every flicker of dark eyes, stores it all in his memory as an empty cellar – for he never wants to be alone again.

 

#04 – Box

 

Sometimes Yoochun thinks that Jaejoong is more complicated and dangerous than Pandora’s Box, but nothing would make him let go.

 

#05 – Run

 

Running away never helped, shutting his eyes never healed his wounds, swallowing tears never made them less bitter; from the very start Jaejoong knew that no rules would apply to them.

 

#06 – Hurricane

 

Loving was like standing in the eye of hurricane, both vigorously breathtaking and terrifying, Jaejoong told him once, and Yoochun couldn’t help but agree.

 

#07 – Wings

 

Jaejoong often compared himself to Icarus, who had fallen in love with the sun and created waxen wings to fly closer to his lover, and who died from his own foolishness. (*)

 

#08 – Cold

 

“I am cold”, Jaejoong says, and immediately a pair of arms go around him; he smiles.

 

#09 – Red

 

“I like you in red”, Yoochun says, and watches with a smile as the shirt comes of revealing pale flesh.

 

#10 – Drink

 

Yoochun drinks on his lips, and swallows on the groans and knows that he has already become an addict.

 

#11 – Midnight

 

He can’t sleep so he watches the dance of the moonlight on the skin of Jaejoong’s bare back.

 

#12 – Temptation

 

Jaejoong is angry and pissed off and the series of “fuck you”s run freely off his tongue, until Yoochun leans close to him and whispers: “Don’t temp me”.

 

#13 – View

 

Jaejoong can see the blue sky reflected in his lover’s orbs and it is the best view he could get.

 

#14 – Music

 

“I love to make your body sing with the music of our love”, says Yoochun and makes Jaejoong blush.

 

#15 – Silk

 

The silken touch of his lips, the smoothness of his skin, the gentleness in every move is the only things Jaejoong can think of when he watches Yoochun.

 

#16 – Cover

 

A hand covers his eyes, and warm lips ghost over his as a gentle whisper reaches his ears, “I am home”, and Jaejoong knows that he could never be happier.

 

#17 – Promise

 

They promised each other never promise anything; and they kept their promise.

 

#18 – Dream

 

Too often both of them thought that it all was some kind of a dream, so they made it their principle – never to question anything.

 

#19 – Candle

 

Yoochun blows the nineteen candles on his birthday cake and wishes never to be more happy then he is already.

 

#20 – Talent

 

“What’s your biggest talent?” he is asked and while he contemplates it, Yoochun lends a quick kiss on his cheek saying “Being loved by me, of course!”.

 

#21 – Silence

 

Silence speaks volumes, when Yoochun comes back home smelling of alcohol and floral perfume and finds Jaejoong wide-awake sitting on the couch, waiting for him.

 

#22 – Journey

 

He wants to ask ‘where have you been?’ and more importantly ‘who have you been with?’ and maybe ‘why do you do this to me?’, but all he can say is “welcome back, Yoochun” and then he stands up and leaves.

 

#23 – Fire

 

Jaejoong founds himself feeling empty without the love flowing through his veins like a liquid fire, so he loses himself in anger.

 

#24 – Strength

 

“I won’t beg him, I am stronger than this”, he says to his own reflection, but the Jaejoong he sees in the mirror doesn’t believe him in a bit.

 

#25 – Mask

 

He puts on his mask of a porcelain beauty in place, locks his heart and throws the key away, and swears never to love again.

 

#26 – Ice

 

His body feels like an ice to him, but when he whispers ‘I am cold’, there are no hands to keep him warm.

 

#27 – Fall

 

Fall has always been his most favorite season, but this year picking up a yellow leaf Jaejoong can’t help thinking about withering and death.

 

#28 – Forgotten

 

“Nothing is forgotten, Yoochun”, he says without looking into his eyes, because even after all this time it hurts him to hurt Yoochun.

 

#29 – Dance

 

Yoochun watches Jaejoong move and remembers all those nights they spent together and thinks that he is not worth of even being in the same room with him, that is why he leaves.

 

#30 – Body

 

But on his way out his body betrays Yoochun and his feet lead him in the wrong direction  and his fingers reach and brush briefly over the tantalizing body which once used to be his.

 

#31 – Sacred

 

“What we had was sacred, but you ruined it”, hears Yoochun, but he is past the point of caring.

 

#32 – Farewells

 

They split their ways, erased each other from their memory, pretended as if nothing had ever happened – they had no courage even to say goodbyes.

 

#33 – World

Yoochun traveled around the globe, changing places and time zones on a whim, staying as far as possible from the country and the one person he had ever loved.

 

#34 – Formal

 

When they met next time, Jaejoong almost didn’t recognize Yoochun, and it wasn’t because of the looks but because of the formality with which he bowed and said “Nice to meet you”.

 

#35 – Fever

 

That night he found himself burning with the same fever of desire, the one he thought he had got rid of when he had left Korea .

 

#36 – Laugh

 

Yoochun looks into his glass more filled with whiskey then ice and can’t help laughing at the irony of it all – after all these years…

 

#37 – Lies

 

It was so easy to lie to himself, when he wasn’t around, that he had forgotten him, if not forgiven, but that night lies sounded even less believable to Yoochun.

 

#38 – Forever

 

“You said it would last forever” is the first thing Yoochun hears when he picks up the phone, and then “Why did you return?”

 

#39 - Overwhelmed           

 

And suddenly it is too much and not enough time and he is short of breath, but all those thoughts suppressed for so many years, all those emotions and tears go pouring out of him and he simply can’t stop saying ‘I am sorry’.

 

#40 – Whisper

 

“I am sorry too”, Jaejoong whispers to him and hangs up, because he may do something really stupid if he doesn’t; he may forgive him.

 

#41 – Wait

 

And Yoochun waits, because he has always waited for him, and he prays, though he thought he had forgotten how, and he drinks, because he can’t sleep and doesn’t want to think.

 

#42 – Talk

 

“We.. need to talk”, and it is far better than anything Yoochun has heard in years.

 

#43 – Search

 

Jaejoong looks into the other’s eyes, searching for the possible reasons why he invited Yoochun to his place, and sees the same boy he had fallen in love with.

 

#44 – Hope

 

Yoochun doesn’t dare to hope – he crossed that word from his vocabulary five years ago – he simply waits.

 

#45 – Eclipse

 

“All these years”, Jaejoong starts thoughtfully, “I was wandering in darkness, absolutely clueless about where the sun had disappeared”, then pauses and looking briefly at Yoochun continues “I never knew I had killed it myself”.

 

#46 - Gravity           

 

‘I am floating’ thinks Jaejoong, because it is the only way he can explain the feeling when Yoochun embraces him.

 

#47 – Highway

 

The hands on his face are luxuriously warm and the lips ghost over his and Jaejoong thinks that he hears ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’ and he is laughing like he has never done in years.

 

#48 – Unknown

 

The body underneath his is both painfully familiar and unexpectedly strange and Yoochun has to learn every curve of it all over again, and get acquainted with the taste of pale skin and get used to the gasps and moans that escape him.

 

#49 – Lock

 

Jaejoong blinks first at the key in his hand and then at Yoochun in question, but he only smiles and says, “This is a key to my heart”.

 

#50 – Breathe

 

Lying side by side, in a warm embrace Jaejoong believes no promises, but this – he breathes in a familiar scent and smiles.

(*) I messed up the myth about Icarus on purpose. I did a 4 year course in World literature which included ancient Greek literature and myths, you know.
