"So we got them in custody, what else can we do?" Mark asked Baekhyun. He sits down looking at the list of felonies that the judges can be charged with. "How many of these are we going to throw at them?"

Baekhyun squinted his eyes. "As many as jung jaehyun wants. It's his decision after all."

Mark nods his head. He knows jaehyun like the back of his hand. He knows that the older will do what is right. He smiles those evil bastards will finally get the karma that they deserve.

"I will see you later Baekhyun." Mark stands up from the chair. With an awkward smile, he pulls out his phone and walks away.
To see to it that Jaehyum throws the jungles in prison he devises a plan. Well, the plan is simple he will get Johnny involved. Johnny will talk some sense into jaehyun. Besides, if anyone can persuade jaehyun it is Johnny.

But there is one minor detail he forgot. Those two are in a rocky spot.

Speaking of the little star of the show jaehyun will be released from the hospital in a few hours. So what is the best way to ensure that his amazing plan works? Easy, all he has to do is make sure that Johnny takes jaehyun home.

"Jaehyun I'm taking you home." Johnny straightens out the non-existent wrinkles in his suit jacket. "I want to take care of you."

Jaehyun tilts his head to the left. "Why do you want to do that?" Perplexed at the Irony of the situation, jaehyun questions the American.

Johnny slips his hands into his pants pockets. "Honey, you are in no condition to take care of yourself."

Jaehyun unconsciously rubs his neck. Johnny was right but why does he want to take care of him when he has a Joey at home? "What about Joey?"

Johnny smiles, "Don't worry I have the final say anyway." Johnny steps to Jaehyun's hospital bed.

The American felt sick to his stomach while looking at the red marks littering all over Jaehyun's pale neck. His peachy lips are busted. His beautiful brown eyes are now a hue of purple and pink.

Johnny wanted nothing more than to reach out and kiss jaehyun. He wanted to erase the pain jaehyun carried as a burden.

Sordid thoughts pass through Johnny's not-so-innocent mind. The feeling of lust is irrefutable, yet he doesn't tackle those feelings.

Jaehyun pouts just a little. He didn't like that very horrible woman, but that didn't mean he wanted to see a baby suffer. Although the fetus isn't his the feelings of parental protection take form in his injured body.
"What about the baby?"

"Jaehyun everything is covered. All you need to do is be with me." Johnny extends his hands. They awaited Jaehyun's hands.

Jaehyun looks down. He didn't know if he wanted to take his hand. Jaehyun glances up.at Johnny. The American looks offered.

Jaehyun felt that worthless feeling inside. He couldn't stop hurting everyone around him. Norther what he does he will always be degraded to the needy baby.

Johnny grabs Jaehyun's hands. He swore he felt a spa when. Their hands touch. Slowly he leans in for a kiss. He was so close to capturing those alluring lips. That was until jaehyun turned his head.

"I'm not your dirty little secret anymore. Don't try to kiss me when you are with someone already." Jaehyun pushes Johnny's head away.

Johnny coughs lightly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel that way." Damn, he needed to control himself.

Suddenly a flash of an erotic memory pops in his head. Johnny smacks himself in the head. Jaehyun is right he isn't a secret.

Johnny smiles."Let's go, I'm taking you home." Johnny extended his hand out to jaehyun who with hesitation took his hand.

Johnny didn't know why but there was a pang in his heart when he felt jaehyun hands shake. Trying to make it better he grips the younger's cold skin.

Jaehyun lets out a sound of surprise when Johnny picks him up bridal style.

"My legs are fine. I can walk." Jaehyun says this yet his fingernails dig into Johnny's chest.

"I know, but maybe I just want to carry you." Johnny smiles at the pink hue that finds its way onto Jaehyun's cheeks.

Johnny carried him to the car. The ride was quiet and very awkward. The whole time Johnny tried to make small conversation with jaehyun but all he got was a small smile.

Don't get him wrong, he loves Jaehyun's smile but he wants something more.

Soon they arrived at their house. After driving into the garage he parks the car. "Hey jaehyun can you hold this bag." Johnny hands jaehyun a bag from CVS.

"Ok." A little confused jaehyun gets out of the car. He waits for Johnny before entering the house.

Jaehyun's mouth drops open. The house was a complete shit show. Glass was all over the floor, and food was everywhere. It was as if a tornado decided to only this house. "What in the..."

"I will be back," Johnny says lowly after taking the plastic bag. He then walks away. Jaehyun peeks his head around the corner to see Joey infuriated. She was throwing things around like a toddler. Jaehyun couldn't talk because he destroyed cars worth millions.

"Take it." Johnny hands the woman the bag. Before Joey could grab it he had snatched the bag back. "I change my mind."

Joey seems to smile at that, "Honey I lo..."

"I want to see you take it." Just like the smile was gone. Johnny's jaw clenched. He grabbed the woman's hand and dragged her to the nearest bathroom.

"Take it!"

"Why are you doing this?!" Joey yells back in his face. Her fist clenched at the sight of the pregnancy test. "Johnny I love you so much. Please don't do this to me."

"Take the damn test!" The American pushes the test in her face. "Take or get out."

The truth was going to come out sooner or later. Guess it had to be now. Joey grabs the test. With shaking hands, she pulls down her underwear. Tears fall down her cheeks. She slowly sits on the toilet before peeing on the test.

Johnny wants her to get done. He placed on a glove and grabbed the test. "I hope that I'm right."

"What do you mean?" The woman asked. "You know you know already right?"

Johnny sat and waited for the results. Deep down he wanted a baby. He wanted to tell everyone how she was telling the truth. However when the results came in his heart sank.

"Why did you lie?"

"Johnny I....''
