Chapter 26: Kim JS
Junsu sprung out of the car and ran at his fastest speed towards Ri In. He forced the car door open and in the swiftest motion, unbuckled the safety belt and pulled Ri In out of the car. The car lost its balance and fell over the cliff, the beautiful sports car now a heap of waste metals at the bottom of the cliff. Everything happened so fast that Ri In lay in Junsu’s arms feeling stunned and shocked. Panting heavily, Junsu hugged Ri In close to him. For a split second there, he thought he was going to lose Ri In.

“Are you okay?” Junsu asked Ri In gently after placing her safely on the passenger’s seat. Ri In appeared dazed, apparently still in a state of shock. Junsu looked at the darkening sky and frowned. It’ll be a long way home, and Ri In needs to rest now. He’ll have to opt for the nearest hotel.

Junsu uttered an incoherent curse as he drove the car round and round. He has never been in this district before, and is officially lost. The roads appeared the same to him, and the night is interfering with his vision. Ri In has fallen asleep beside him, her face looking as angelic as ever. Junsu reached a hand towards her face and stroked it tenderly. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a rundown building. The word ‘motel’ was printed across in capitalized letters. “Looks like we’ll have to stay here tonight…”

Ri In woke up when she felt a hand on her face. Continuing to fake her sleep, Ri In wanted to see if Junsu would say something to the supposedly asleep her. He never did. As soon as she heard Junsu mutter something about finding a place for the both of them tonight, she opened her eyes slowly. Adjusting her eyes to the light emitting from the motel, Ri In squinted her eyes. It was a very rundown motel. “Feeling better after your nap?”

Ri In turned to look at Junsu who was smiling at her. Choosing to ignore him, Ri In got out of the car. “Wait for me!” Junsu abandoned the car and followed Ri In into the motel. At the counter was an old man probably in his fifties.
“Can we have a room please?” Junsu asked politely.
“Two rooms! Far from each other!” Ri In shook away Junsu’s hand which was creeping up onto her shoulder.
“Only one!” the man slapped a key onto the counter. Ri In jumped at his outburst. The look the man had on is scaring her. Junsu glared at the man menacingly and quickly pulled Ri In closer to him. He did not like the looks of the man, even if he is in charge of this motel they are staying in currently.

“Ri In…” once inside the room, Junsu started to ramble on and on about his innocent relationship with Hee Bon. Ri In pursed her lips and frowned. ‘Is this the way he is going to act? Pretend to be just friends with Hee Bon when in actual fact still can’t get over her? Is he going to cheat on Hee Bon and me?’
“Ri In, please believe me!” Junsu begged with pleading eyes. He has said so much, and yet Ri In still sat there unmoving. Junsu sighed and stood up. Ri In raised an eyebrow at his action. ‘Is he finally going to give up?’
Before Ri In understood what was going on, Junsu pressed his lips against hers.

Lying in Junsu’s embrace, Ri In leaned against his chest and listened to his heart thumping. “I really have nothing towards Hee Bon now. Only brotherly love for her.” Junsu whispered.
“I… believe you.” Ri In said simply. ‘What else can I do? My heart does not belong to me anymore. It refuses to listen to my commands. ‘
Junsu slipped a ring off his finger and showed it to Ri In. “This is one out of the pair that my parent gave me and Jaejoong. It’s our brother ring, bonds us together. We are supposed to give this to our wife, the one which we love the most.” Junsu slid it up Ri In’s finger. “It belongs to you now. Kim JS is now yours.” Ri In brought her hand up and took a close look at the ring. It was a simple design. Engraved on the ring was the word ‘Kim JS’. “The other ring which belonged to Jaejoong most likely said Kim JJ then…” Ri In uttered.
“Yep. He’ll be giving it to his beloved too. If he can settle down, it is. He can never settle on a girl.” Junsu laughed and started telling Ri In about the stories on his childhood with Jaejoong, how Jaejoong has always been playing with girls and so on.

“Isn’t my new car a boon?” Junsu hopped off his car and grinned to Jaejoong and Ri In.
“Oh my goodness! Can I go for a spin in it?” Ri In exclaimed, unable to take her eyes off the car.
“You guys go ahead being lovey-dovey. Ignore the single man here.” Jaejoong said sourly and made a face at the couple. Ever since Junsu returned with Ri In that day, they have gotten more and more intimate. The amount of sweet talking grew as well. Jaejoong turned around and decided to head back to his room, leaving the couple to continue their little date.

“You want to drive?!” Junsu practically shouted. “This is a new car! And I still want to live for a long long time!”
“Don’t worry. My driving skills have improved considerably. We can also make use this opportunity to brush up my skills. You can coach me! It’s a win-win situation.” Ri In whined and went to shake Junsu’s arm. “Pleaseeee…”
“Okay, okay. But you have to drive carefully!” Junsu eventually gave in to Ri In’s pleads. He is losing his ability to hold onto a firm stand when it comes to Ri In, and he has a feeling that it’s not going to be a good thing.

‘Ri In, slow down! You’re accelerating!” Junsu gripped tightly onto his seatbelt. ‘Ri In! The tree!”
“What do I do?! Brake?” Ri In jammed on the brakes suddenly, nearly throwing the both of them out of their seats if not for the seatbelts.
“Ri In!” Junsu screeched.
