The next morning . . . .

All the DBSK boys were happily having breakfast when Jaejoong suddenly announced something.

"I hope all of you would be happy for me," he uttered with a sweet smile on his lips.

"Why? What happened?" Xiah asked curiously.

"It's official . . . Keiko and I are a couple now. She finally agreed to be my girlfriend . . . just last night," Jaejoong said happily.

"What?" Xiah, Micky, Max and U-Know all blurted out in total shock.

Jaejoong laughed after seeing his friends' reactions. "Why? What's wrong? Why are you all shocked?"

"Are you really sure about what you're doing? Aren't you rushing things?" U-Know asked with concern.

Jaejoong laughed again. "Pushing things? No . . . I don't think so. Why? How long am I supposed to wait until I'm allowed to have someone new in my life?"

"But hyung . . . it's only been two months," Max exclaimed.

"So?" Jaejoong asked with a raised eyebrow. "I thought all of you wanted me to forget Lena already. So now that I've forgotten her . . . why are you guys acting like that?"

"Frankly . . . I was kind of hoping that you would just move on . . . But not totally forget her. I really believe that she would return again . . . And I am really hoping that the two of you could still be together . . . I believe that you two belong with each other," Max uttered seriously.

Xiah, Micky and U-Know all stared at Max. They had never seen him that serious before. And somehow they all could feel his sincerity and concern in his words.

Jaejoong smiled bitterly. His eyes became filled with a certain sadness that the other boys easily noticed. "I'm sorry, Max. But those kind of wishes are just a fantasy now. Lena will never return. If she could . . . she would have already done it a long time ago . . . .And even if by chance, she returns now . . . it is already too late. I've already committed myself to Keiko. I can't easily drop her just because Lena returned. It would be too unfair for her."

Micky suddenly laughed." Unfair? Whatever happened to what you were saying before? You can't forget Lena. You will never forget her. You can't live without her. You love her and that is the way it will always be . . . Just two months passed and you suddenly forget everything and change? What a nice way to show your undying true love for Lena," he said with sarcasm.

Jaejoong's facial expression hardened. "Are you trying to imply something?"

Micky smiled. "Me? Implying something? Think . . . . I just hope you won't regret in the end," he suddenly said as he stood up and started to walk out of the room.

"Micky . . . are you forgetting . . . she was the one who left me," Jaejoong said.

Micky turned around to face Jaejoong, who was looking seriously at him.

"She left you . . . because she had to. And before I forget . . . like I've told you before . . . if you didn't go after Lena . . . then I would . . . If by chance, she returns . . . I'm already telling you I'm going after her. So no hard feelings," Micky said with a cold expression on his face. Then he slowly walked out of the room.

Xiah, Max and U-Know exchanged glances with each other. They were torn between their two friends. Somehow they were totally confused on what they were supposed to do and and say, so they just decided to be silent.

Jaejoong just stared at the unfinished breakfast he was having. Suddenly . . . memories started to rush into his mind.

Totally confused, Jaejoong suddenly stood up and left the room as well. He then went straight to his room. Once inside his room, he sadly stared at the painting that Lena left him.
