I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND (FAN FICTION) (CHAPTER 55)

I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND (CHAP 55)

CHAPTER 55

Another week passed . . .

Max, U-Know, Xiah and Micky were all in the living room, discussing what to do with Jaejoong.

"Hyung hasn't eaten since yesterday. I'm very worried about him," Max said with frustration.

"I've already talked to him. But he still wouldn't listen. He's totally lost himself. He won't eat . . . He won't drink. All he does is stare at that painting that Lena gave him. I'm very much worried about him as well," U-Know said as he shook his head.

"It's already been a week . . . He's been drowning himself again in self-pity ever since he found out that Keiko tricked him," Xiah added with a sigh.

"He's a fool. He's wasting his time crying in his room, when he should be searching for Lena. He's free to love her again . . . He no longer has to worry about Keiko. So I don't really understand why he's just in his room . . . acting like a fool," Micky uttered with a cold tone.

"Micky, you're being harsh again. How can Jaejoong search for Lena . . . when he doesn't even know where to start. She could be here in Japan, in Korea or any country she chose," Xiah said to Micky.

Micky looked at Xiah. He knew what Xiah had said was right. If he was in Jaejoong's situation, he wouldn't know where to start looking for Lena as well. He suddenly ran his fingers through his hair. He was hurting as well. But he just kept his own emotions to himself. He was more in control compared with Jaejoong.

"Do you . . . guys think that Lena . . . has already married Daichi by now?" Max suddenly asked out of the blue.

Micky immediately looked at Max. His heart had suddenly pounded as soon as he heard Max's question. Somehow he had been trying to avoid thinking about that possibility. But Max had unexpectedly brought that fear into his heart again.

"Oh. . . I hope not. It would totally destroy Jaejoong, if that were to happen. I don't even want to iamgine what would happen is she ends up marrying Daichi," Xiah said with worry.

Max nodded his head. "Judging by the way hyung is acting right now, I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly decides to commit suicide once Lena marries Daichi," he said out loud without thinking.

"Max!" U-Know said angrily. "Don't say such things!"

"I'm sorry," Max quickly apologized after realizing what he had said.

"We've got to do something. We can't just stand by and watch Jaejoong destroy himself," Xiah spoke.

"What do you suggest we do? Just like what you said earlier . . . we don't know where Lena is," Micky voiced out.

"How about . . . if we talked to his mother? Maybe if we told his mother about what is happening to him . . . maybe she can help to put some sense into him," Max suggested.

U-Know and Xiah exchanged glances. Max had a wonderful idea. And somehow they hoped it would actually work.

"That's a great idea. Let's call his mother right now," Xiah uttered excitedly.

U-Know and Max nodded their heads in agreement. While Micky just kept silent. Even though he was hurting, he was still concerned with his friend. He still wanted to help him.

An hour later . . . .

Jaejoong was staring out of the window in his room.

"Lena, where are you? Everything is cleared up now. I no longer need to marry Keiko. She's not really pregnant. Where are you? Are you married to Daichi now? Why did you have to leave me? I'm going crazy just thinking about you. You should have stayed with me. You belong to me . . . you and our baby. How am I supposed to live now? You're the only thing in my mind right now. It's like I can't breathe whenever I think about you and Daichi. I can't accept that he's the one beside you now. Please come back to me. I'll do anything you want, just come back to me. I'll give up everything I have now, even my career, just to have you back. I can't live without you Lena. I would rather die than live my whole life without you. Where are you? I need to see you . . . I need to talk to you . . . I need you in my life. Please come back to me. I'm begging you . . ." he uttered as tears streamed down his face.

Unexpectedly his phone started to ring. Somehow he wanted to just ignore it, but he suddenly thought that maybe it would be Lena calling him. He hurriedly picked up his phone and answered it.

"Hello . . ." he uttered as he tried to control his voice.

"Jaejoong," a woman's voice spoke.

"Mother?" Jaejoong asked.

"How are you?" the old woman asked with concern.

"I . . .I'm fine. Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is there something wrong?" he asked with concern.

"I think I should be the one asking that question. Your friends called me, and they told me about what is happening to you. They are all very concerned about you," the old woman spoke softly.

"Mother . . ." Jaejoong uttered. "I . . .I'm sorry."

"Why are you saying sorry?" the old woman asked.

"I'm sorry I'm acting like this. I'm sorry that I'm making you worried," he simply replied.

"Jaejoong, I understand that you're hurt. But you shouldn't punish yourself like this. I know Lena wouldn't want you to do this to yourself," she tried to reason with him.

"Lena . . .Lena . . . She already left . . . for the second time. I'm hurt, Mother. I'm in so much pain that I think I'm going insane. I love her so much. I don't think I can ever learn how to forget her. What am I supposed to do, Mother? I can't do anything else except think about her. She's constantly in my mind. I know I need to find her. . . but I don't know where to start. I'm going crazy . . . I need to find her before she marries Daichi," Jaejoong uttered as tears fell from his eyes.

The old woman's heart ached. How she pitied his son.

"Jaejoong . . . do you really love Lena?" she asked.

"I love her with all my heart and soul. I would gladly give up my life for her. That's how much I love her," he quickly answered.

"Then . . . if you really love her . . . go and find her," she uttered softly.

"I don't know where to start. I don't have any idea where she is . . ." he replied with frustration.

"You don't have to go far, my son. As soon as your friends told me everything, I immediately talked with Lena's mother. . . She's here in Korea, Jaejoong. Lena is here . . . back in her house," the old woman revealed.

"What?" Jaejoong asked. He couldn't believe what he just heard. "Lena is in Korea?"

"Yes. It seems the man she's going to marry brought her home first. But there is a big problem," the old woman slowly uttered.

"What? What's the problem?" Jaejoong asked nervously.

"She will be leaving Korea tomorrow. . . and even her mother doesn't have any idea where she will be going afterwards. You only have a few hours before she leaves . . . You will need to act fast. Her flight will be early in the morning. You don't have much time left," the old woman said.

Jaejoong suddenly felt alive again. It was like a new kind of strength and determination filled his entire soul. He suddenly found the will to fight again.

"Thank you Mother," he uttered happily.

"Jae . . ." the old woman uttered.

"Yes Mother?"

"Try your best to win her back. I wish you all the luck . . . I hope you'll be able to win back your happiness," the old woman spoke.

"Yes, Mother. I'll do anything just to have her back in my life again. I won't let her leave me this time. . . Even if I have to beg her a million times . . . I will gladly do it. I'll make sure that she returns to me. . . I need her . . . her and our baby," Jaejoong said with so much emotion.

"Good luck, my son. Be careful on your way here . . . You have to go now . . . Get Lena . . . Get your happiness . . ." the old woman said as tears were slowly forming in her eyes.

"Goodbye, Mother . . . and thank you," Jaejoong said as he slowly closed his phone.

Jaejoong quickly grabbed his things. He needed to go to Korea fast.

"Hyung, where are you going?" Max asked, quite surprised.

"I'm going to Korea," Jaejoong replied.

"To Korea? Why?" Xiah asked as well.

"My mother told me that Lena is back in their house. But she will be leaving in a few hours so I need to get there as soon as possible," Jaejoong explained.

"We will go with you," U-Know uttered.

"No! I need to do this alone," Jaejoong uttered.

The other DBSK boys quickly looked at each other. Somehow they understood what Jaejoong wanted.

"All right . . . Just make sure you get her this time," Micky said with a smile.

Jaejoong looked at Micky. It had been such a long time since he saw Micky smile at him.

"Thank you . . . and don't worry. I'll make sure that she ends up with me," he quickly replied with a smile as well.

Xiah, Max and U-Know stared at their two friends. They were all very happy that somehow the barrier between Micky and Jaejoong had finally been broken.

"Good luck," Xiah uttered happily.

Jaejoong quickly nodded.

"Good luck, hyung," Max said with a smile.

"Go . . . and get her," Xiah added.

"Be careful," U-Know uttered.

Jaejoong nodded once again before finally going out of the apartment. His steps were quick and full of energy and hope.

His heart was pounding very hard and beating very fast. He knew he needed to get to Lena before it is too late again.

"Lena . . . wait for me. Please wait for me . . . I'm coming . . ." he continuously uttered.
