Jaejoong stared at Ara, completely dumbstruck. The words on the tip of his tongue died, and the look on his face was that of complete shock.
Ara quickly wiped her eyes, “I want you to get out.”
“But –“
She whirled around and looked at him irritably with her red eyes, “I said that I want you to get out, so please, just get out. I want to go home, and I don’t feeling like doing this today.”
Before Jaejoong could say anything, Ara walked away from him and shut the door to the dressing room. He stared at the door for a few seconds before he let out a sigh and got his phone out of his pocket to call Changmin.
The phone rang twice before Changmin picked it up.
“What’s up?” Changmin drawled on the other end of the line.
Jaejoong sighed and began to make his way out of the atelier, “Things didn’t go so well with Ara today, so I think I’m going to…” he paused and thought for a few seconds.
If Ara didn’t want to get married, would he still have a wedding to plan?
“Jaejoong, are you still there?”
He was snapped out of his thoughts, and Jaejoong shook his head before he sat down on one of the couches at the atelier’s lobby. He ran a hand through his hair irritably and leaned against the back of the seat, “What was I saying?”
“You said you were going to do something…what happened with Ara?”
Jaejoong sighed and shook his head, “Nothing, I think she’s just nervous about the wedding. I think I’ll go check up on the progress of the invitations and then visit the caterer –“
“Oh right, uhm, Yoochun –“
“Who?”
Changmin was silent for a few seconds, and Jaejoong heard him utter a quiet fuck on the other end of the line before he continued speaking, “Mr. Park, Yunho’s best man said that Yunho would be picking up Ara at the atelier today.”
Jaejoong sat up, “He will?”
“Yeah, I think he should be on his way there now. Just before Yoochun and I left the restaurant together, Yunho called him and said he was on his way…fuck, I called him Yoochun again, didn’t I?”
The wedding planner chuckled softly, “Yes, you did. You have to talk to me about your crab date when things are less hectic for me,” Jaejoong glanced across the hall and noticed Yunho stepping in, and his stomach twisted in anxiety, “I have to go now, bye Changmin.”
He hung up and made his way across the hall, his heart drumming in his chest and his stomach twisting into knots. They stopped walking as soon as they were both in front of each other, and Yunho offered Jaejoong a hesitant smile.
“Why are you out here?” Yunho asked, “You didn’t have to wait for me.”
Jaejoong’s throat felt dry, so he swallowed hard before he replied, “Uhm, well…no, I wasn’t really out here to wait for you. Yunho, I have to talk to you about…” he looked up at Yunho helplessly and pulled at the fabric of his jeans, “I have to talk to you about the wedding.”
A serious look crossed Yunho’s face, “I love her – she’s my best friend and I’d do anything for her…” he sighed and shook his head, “I know how bad I must look to you right now, and…I’m sorry. I was unprofessional, and I would love to explain myself, but I’m not sure of what to say.”
“I just wanted to...” Jaejoong trailed off, and he bit his lip, “I think you need to go talk to Ara right now. She’s upset.”
Yunho’s tired face instantly turned to a worried expression, “What’s wrong? Did something happen to her…to the baby?”
“She...she didn’t say,” Jaejoong lied, “But I think you should talk to her.”
“I will,” Yunho replied, “I want to talk to you again. Can we meet later tonight? I’ll pick you up from your office…that is, if you still want to talk to me –“
“You should take care of Ara first,” Jaejoong insisted, “If she’s okay by tonight, then I’ll be fine with meeting you again.”
They stared at each other, and Jaejoong broke off their eye contact first. He bowed to Yunho briefly before he quickly made his way out of the atelier and into his car. He breathed quietly in his car for a few minutes before he turned on the engine and left the atelier.
He’d never encountered such a complicated wedding before.
o-o-o
He was staring blankly out his window when his phone rang. Due to all the thoughts running around his mind, Jaejoong answered it without bothering to check who it was that was calling him.
“Hello?”
“You said that if I talked to Ara first, we could meet. I’m outside of your office, so could you come down now?”
Jaejoong hesitated, “I don’t –“
“Please come down. I need to talk to you about what happened.”
After he’d let out a soft sigh, Jaejoong replied. “Okay, I’ll down.” He massaged his temples quickly before he got up out of his seat and made his way out of his office. In order to get out as swiftly as possible, he rattled off a lie about getting some coffee to Changmin and headed out without another word.
To be honest, he didn’t know what he would say to Yunho. Jaejoong sighed as he made his way down, his heart pounding in his chest. When he saw Yunho standing near the lobby’s entrance, he froze.
Before he could even consider running back upstairs, Yunho turned around and caught sight of him. Jaejoong slowly began to move, his mind not moving fast enough to think of something to say to the other man. As soon as he was outside, he swallowed hard and waited for Yunho to speak first.
“…let’s speak in the car.”
Jaejoong bit his lip and shook his head, “I think we should just speak out here.” Although he wasn’t quite thinking straight, what he was sure of was that he didn’t want to be pulled into any more drama. He was tired of all the confusion and crazy that was happening around him. In fact, all he really wanted to do at that moment was go home and sleep everything away.
Yunho didn’t protest, so after a few seconds of awkward silence, Jaejoong decided to speak up first. He took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts and spoke, “Look Yunho, you don’t have to explain anything to me. What happened that night was –“
“I told Ara about what happened.”
Jaejoong’s eyes widened in shock, and his mind went blank for a few seconds as he registered what Yunho had just told him. “What? How could you? What about the wedding? What about your…the baby?”
Yunho took a deep breath before he spoke. “You don’t have to pretend you don’t know.”
“…what?”
“Jaejoong…” Yunho sighed softly, but when he met Jaejoong’s eyes, his gaze was firm and serious. “I’ve always known that the baby wasn’t mine.”

Date: 2012-09-17 03:45 pm (UTC)She usually seems so composed. I'm a little curious as to who the baby's father is. Why did he abandon Ara and why Yunho is marrying her instead of him.
Yunho is a great friend though ;~;. My god if I had a best friend like him I'd have no regrets. Even if I'm forever alone ♥.
So how's the wedding going to work out now??? :x
I'd hate to see Ara alone after this whole ordeal.
YooMin crab date ♥♥♥ Kekeke Changmin you're too cute ^^.
!!! Looking forward to the next update~~~

Date: 2012-09-17 04:01 pm (UTC)Changmin got bribed by the crabs and now is calling Yoochun by his first name?
Interesting ^^
Yoochun needs to bribe him with more food and they'll definitely have sex. LOL
So now Jaejoong and Yunho are on the same page as to were things stands and who is the father of the baby.
What happens next?
I guess Jaejoong will be planning his own wedding to Yunho instead?

Date: 2012-09-17 06:53 pm (UTC)Apparently I wasn't following the same train of thought, Author-sshi, because I thought Yunho meant Jae didn't have to pretend Yunho didn't know that Jae knew the baby wasn't his. Not that Jae should stop pretending because he thought Yunho didn't know! LOL! I assumed Yun already knew the baby wasn't his and was just being an awesome friend and gentleman by agreeing to marry her so she'd save face; and that Jae had picked up on that already. >.<" Waaahh I'm a sucky reader! :(
Oh well. Either way, I look forward to more awkward-even-though-they-know-they-want-each-other!Yunjae! *wiggles eyebrows* And I wonder how that would even work and if Ara would approve. Even though I think she shouldn't have a say, but whatever. I get that situations such as these are complicated. Aish!

Date: 2012-09-17 11:25 pm (UTC)and yet you left us with another cliffhanger -_-"
what's really happening with yunho and ara?
i hope you can reveal it soon *o*
no subject
Date: 2012-09-17 11:51 pm (UTC)So basically I assume that Yunho and Ara might be best friends (and Yunho's gay), and Ara made a mistake by sleeping with someone unknown and getting pregnant. Because this would cause a great scandal for her and her family (and because he loves her a great deal) Yunho agreed to take the responsibility by getting married to her... yeah, or something~ (x3)
Hope you'll update asap. <3 ^^
