Everything moved in a fast paced motion from then on. One moment Jaebum was sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall and the next he was already carrying moving boxes to Youngjae's room. The younger was in shock to see Jaebum slowly moving his stuff into the many boxes he had carried. He ran over to the older and tried to tug him away from his stuff and the boxes, but Jaebum managed to get out of Youngjae's grasp and continue to pack.

"Jaebum will you please stop packing my stuff and talk to me?" Youngjae pleaded.

"No."

Youngjae groaned and walked over to the boxes, he then began to unpack all of his stuff that had been packed. When this was noticed by the older he suddenly began to work faster to get all of the younger's stuff into the boxes. Youngjae ran over to Jaebum who was holding a snowglobe in his hands. The younger then proceeded to try and take it out of Jaebum's hands, which ultimately turned it into a game of tug of war. When Jaebum finally won, Youngjae had had enough and was ready to burst.

"GODDAMN IT JAEBUM WILL YOU STOP PACKING MY STUFF AND LISTEN TO ME FOR ONE. FUCKING. SECOND." Youngjae snapped which caused Jaebum to freeze in place. He had never heard the younger curse before so he knew he had really pissed him off. It was a shock even knowing that Youngjae had it in him to say such words.

"Why are you doing this, huh?" Youngjae question the older with tears in his eyes.

"Because," Jaebum said.

"BECAUSE OF WHAT?" The younger shouted.

"BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU AGAIN!" Jaebum started which caused Youngjae to bite his bottom lip. "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HATED MYSELF ALL THESE YEARS FOR THE SHIT I PUT YOU THROUGH IN HIGH SCHOOL? DO YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY I WAS TO HAVE YOU BACK IN MY LIFE AGAIN? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT HURT TO KNOW THAT I SCREWED UP AGAIN AND HURT YOU?" Jaebum let out a shout and punched the wall nearest to him. If he had hit the wall any harder a hole would have formed.

Youngjae had tears forming in his eyes as he watched the older sink to the ground. It pained him to know that the older had suffered just as much as he did all these years. He walked over to the older male and hugged him. No words were exchanged between the two; all that was present was silence and quiet sobs. Well, that was before Jaebum spoke up.

"It's not fair that I can never make things right between us. All I ever do is mess everything up and hurt you. I'm sorry Youngjae." Jaebum mumbled into Youngjae's shoulder.

"Shh, don't worry Jaebum I forgive you, okay? It's all in the past and what matters is now," The younger said as he slowly rubbed his hand up and down Jaebum's back to soothe him.

They stayed there on the floor with Youngjae's objects surrounding them for what seemed like an hour. The younger brushed his hands through Jaebum's hair and repeatedly reassured that everything would be okay. Youngjae let our a small chuckle when he noticed the older male had fallen asleep in his arms. With as much strength as he could muster he managed to drag Jaebum into his bed.

Before the younger could leave he felt a hand grab at his wrist; the hand belonged to Jaebum obviously. Youngjae tilted his head in question, he was clueless as to why the older male had acted this way.

"Please don't leave. Stay," Jaebum had whispered softly. Since his eyes were closed Youngjae could only assume the older was still asleep. A soft smile appeared on his face as he went and joined the sleeping, needy Jaebum in the king-sized bed.

Youngjae stared up at the ceiling and almost jumped when he felt Jaebum's muscular arm wrap around his waist. He didn't move the arm instead, the younger had allowed it to stay in its place. Youngjae stared up at the ceiling and thought about everything that took place up until this point. He thought about how much his attitude for Jaebum had changed in such a short period of time.

It was ironic knowing the night they both could not fully remember would be one that they would surely never forget.
