Chapter 9

Yoochun ran out of the hospital, trying to follow Changmin. He looked right and then left. This was going to be harder than he thought. He'd only gotten a glimpse of the boy. Where could he have gone?

As people pass him, he asked them if did they saw a boy running away. Some were helpful, others weren't. He left the hospital grounds and headed towards the park that was across the road. If he was upset that's the first place he would go to think. There were so many people there. He tried to remember the clothes the boy was wearing.

With a vague idea of what he was looking for, he searched for a kid that looked a little like Jae. He saw a boy sitting on one of the benches overlooking the pond. He walked up over to him unsure if it was him, "Changmin?" He called out but the boy didn't look up. He tried again, "Changmin?" He seemed to finally get the boys attention. The boy looked up.

"Yoo…chun." The boy said. This just made Yoochun all the more curious about this boy. How did the boy know his name? Maybe he heard it from Su but this was the first time they met. Yoochun took a seat beside him.

"Why did you run? Jae's worried about you but I won't force you to go back." he said texting a message to Junsu saying he found him.

"It's all my fault. Umma could have been hurt…just because I brought him. I'm so stupid…I just wanted to know about my Umma. I never got the chance to…"

"What are you talking about?" Yoochun asked. He didn't know how to answer any of the boy's questions and right now he thought the kid was insane.

Changmin looked at him, "I know what you're thinking. I'm insane. You' ve said that to me before. But you always believe me when I told you things. I need you to believe me now…Uncle Yoochun. Please…" Yoochun thought worse of Changmin's sanity but the word Uncle lingered in his mind.

"Changmin start from the beginning. I've never met you before in my life." Yoochun tried understand what the boy was going on about.

"You haven't yet. I'm not from this time…I'm not even born yet!"

That cleared it for Yoochun, the kid was crazy! Changmin looked at him. "YAH STOP THINKING I'M CRAZY, BECAUSE I'M NOT! FINE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE ME, I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING...No, maybe I won't that's up to Junsu to tell you."

"What…what tell me? What is Junsu going to tell me?"

"Hmmmmm…"

"Tell me." he said again.

"You're still planning on proposing to Uncle Junsu on Halloween night, right. Do you have the ring hidden in your car still? Uncle Junsu finds it and puts in on but…it gets stuck on his finger…and he hides it from you. You end up proposing to Uncle Junsu with an empty box."

"What he finds it? Guess I better get it resized and change the hiding place." Yoochun said.

"Leave it as it is…It puts a smile on Umma face…"

"Umma? Do you mean Jae? Wait? What?" Yoochun couldn't believe this was happen. Here he was believing a crazy person.

"Ok if you are my nephew, then who are your parents?"

"I thought you knew that?" Changmin said.

"Who?" he asked again.

"Kim Jaejoong is my Umma and Jung Yunho is my Appa. I'm born to them on the 18th of February…"

"But the baby not supposed to be born until March. Wait does that mean the baby in Jae's stomach is you."

"Yes."

"This really isn't making any sense." Yoochun paused and then continued. "Why are you here then? How did you even get here? Last time I checked time travel isn't possible."

"You're asking me. All I know was Uncle and Appa were fighting. I was sitting in Uncle Su's car and…and I crashed it. Next thing I know I'm waking up here…by Umma's side" Changmin explained. Yoochun was actually starting to believe Changmin. But why was he here?

"Why this time? Why now?"

"Because I wanted to meet Umma."

"Why"

"Umma dies a week after I'm born…I never got to know my Umma. I live with Appa...Umma sent me there because...because he knew he was dying. You and Uncle Su left me with Appa..."

"What do you mean he's dying? Jae's alive and well right now? What happened to him?"

"I don't know. The night I ran away from home…I rang Uncle Su to pick me up…but Appa arrived too. He tried to take me home…I didn't want to go. I hated it there. Appa was always mad at me and Never believed anything I said. Even when I was at the bottom of the stairs he believes her over me. His own son! I Hate her…I hated you and Uncle Junsu for leaving me there too…"

"But... What do you mean bottom of the stairs? Who's she?" Yoochun was getting more interested into the story.

"Boa…Appa's wife. My Awful stepmother! She pushed me down the stairs but Appa never listens to me…"

"Boa? He married that B***CH. That woman…We should have gotten her arrested after what she did to Jae. It's her fault they broke up in the first place because of her."

"They did...?"

"Yeah, you know Jae is very soft and caring and will do anything for anyone. When Boa found out Jae was seeing Yunho, she freak out and start threatening Jae to stay away from Yunho. She even had thugs beat him up but Jae always went back to Yunho. This only made her anger worse. She was already close to Yunho and she could always wrap him around her finger. She started telling Yunho that Jae was two timing him on more than one occasion. Yunho started to believe and when she showed him photos of Jae with some of our other friends he believed her more. But the one that bothered him the most was HyunJoong. When Jae met up with Hyun Joong a jewellery designer, it was to get their names engraved on something….I don't really know much of the details. Only what Su told me…"

"What did Appa do?" Changmin asked. Yoochun felt weird answering that question.

"Yunho questioned Jae about it but Jae didn't want to say what he was doing. He told Yunho he was with us but Yunho had the photos. It was then Jae tried to explain what he was doing but Yunho didn't believe a word Jae said. He hit Jae and threw him out of the house. Jae caught get pneumonia and nearly lost you. That was the first time he knew he was pregnant. He tried to tell Yunho but Yunho wouldn't listen to him. So Jae began to stay with us after a while Boa started to show up everywhere we went. She threatened Jae, blaming everything wrong in the relationship on him. She told Jae it was his entire fault. She told him to stay away from Yunho. Jae told her he couldn't stay away because he loved Yunho. Even though Yunho kicked him out, to this day he still doesn't blame Yunho. He love's him."

"But that doesn't make any sense. In my time Umma never told Appa about me. After Umma died…Uncle Su brought me to Appa…to live with him."

"That's the thing that doesn't make sense. Even if it was true that J-Jae….," He hated thinking does thought, "...die's. Junsu would never bring the baby to Yunho…not after everything he did to Jae."

"It was Umma wish that I grow up with at least one Parent. It was in Umma's letters. Before he died…Umma knew he was dying. Um…ma knew…. He knew he was going to die." Changmin began to cry. "I always wanted my Umma…I hated living with Appa and that Witch. I want to stay with you and Uncle Su. I always felt wanted when I was with you. In Appa's house it was cold…so cold. Never warm and welcoming… I wanted to escape. When I found Umma letter, my heart broke. It was addressed to me…for my 18th birthday. Umma thought I'd be happy…that you and Su would be there...but you all left me. All I wanted was Umma…someone to love me...to know my Umma. No one would tell me anything...I want to know everything about my Umma…I wanted him to be with me in the future… I want him….not Appa."

"Changmin."

"Uncle Yoochun… Do you think me being here will change anything? I have already changed one thing. Do you think I can save Umma? Do you think I could change fate? Maybe that's why I'm here...to make Umma survive?"

"I can't answer that. Maybe? Maybe not? All I know that the future hasn't happened yet. So maybe you should just get to know Jae now, while you have the chance." Changmin thought about it. This was his chance. His chance to be with his Umma.
