Summary: Yunho call Jaejoong when He heard Su was hospitalized
Jaejoong sat in a chair, the one that he placed beside Junsu's bed so that he could monitor him and also, in order for him to be instantly be there if ever his dongsaeng needed help.
Yoochun returned to their hotel earlier to get some rest, although he had been quite a bit reluctant about leaving. But after Jaejoong had pointed out that he wasn't looking too good himself, worn with worry for Junsu and from all the busy schedule they were having lately, Yoochun finally agreed.
The older male never failed to act as the mother figure for them. And of course, as Jaejoong's soulmate, Yoochun understood Jaejoong's concerns. Because really, the last thing they needed was for him to end up confined in the hospital as well since it was a known fact that he was the one that could easily get sick out of the five. But after he left, Yoochun made it clear to Jaejoong that when morning came, he was going to come back to the hospital so they could change shifts to look after Junsu.
Yoochun pointed out that Jaejoong needed his very much rest too after all.
Jaejoong took a deep breath, fingers brushing the soft locks of his dongsaeng's hair. The current situation was quite depressing.
Junsu fainted at the middle of the recording for their worldwide album. No doubt exhausted from all the cramped up schedule that they had recently. And now he was left alone watching over the younger male who was having a high fever (of 40 degree celsius for God's sake when they rushed him in) inside one of the many hospital rooms in this foreign land.
Brushing Junsu's cheek and noting how his skin wasn't so feverish anymore, Jaejoong smiled albeit their was still sadness in his eyes. "Your temperature has decreased." he leaned in and pecked his forehead, hearing Junsu's soft snore. "Rest well."
Jaejoong didn't know who was to blame, nor was he in any mood to point fingers. But he guessed, that the outcome of Junsu's current degradation in health was due to their eagerness to record for their worldwide album. Driven with the desire to give the fans the best that they could offer, to make up for the mounds of disappointment that they had imprinted in their hearts ever since the lawsuit began, to the point that they didn't care much anymore about their own health.
The three of them barely ate or slept the past few weeks, always busy with dance practices, vocalizations, photo shoots that it came down to only having about one or two hours in a day that they allow their worn out and exhausted bodies have its rest.
So he shouldn't really be surprised that Junsu reached his limit and ended up having a fever.
Jaejoong was just grateful that the three of them didn't get sick at the same time. It was quite common in the past, how when one member of their family were to catch a bug, the rest would catch it as well. Also, he was relieved that his body didn't gave out and had remained strong despite all the fatigue, stress and sadness that he had to endure.
He needed to be a pillar of strength and support for his younger brothers.
And so even if he was so close to breaking down over one of his friends death, Yongha-hyung, whom he had gotten close with during the start of the band's career in Japan, he held himself back and tried his bet to not show any sign of weakness whenever his dongsaeng-deul were around. Because that time when he erupted into tears while he was interviewed about Yongha's death, Junsu and Yoochun had been constantly worrying over him, always watching him through sympathetic, sad eyes.
Jaejoong could feel the familiar stirrings of a sob threaten to escape his throat. His eye began to sting with tears. Jaejoong wanted to cry so badly, wanted to rest his throbbing head on someone's shoulder, to feel strong arms around him.
I need you.
He glanced at the clock. It was already 5am. Yoochun should be there any minute now.
'stay with me neomu areum daun'
The sound of his phone's ringtone suddenly erupted in the silence of the room. Jaejoong's eyes widened, surprised with the sudden shrilling noise. But what caught him off guard was the fact that that particular ringtone that he specifically set to respond to a certain someone's mobile number was what he was hearing right that instant.
'shine your leave gadeuk pieonajullae'
Yunho-yah...
‘naman bolsu ittge’
‘stay you stay always’
Shaking himself out of his stupor, Jaejoong swiftly fished for his mobile in his jeans pockets, eager to confirm whether it was really him who called. Plus with the way his ringtone was blaring, Jaejoon was also worried that it would woke Junsu up.
“Yo-yobosaeyo?” Jaejoong greeted into the receiver, hands slightly shaking from his hay-wired nerves.
“Yobosaeyo Jaejoongie” The other's voice was a solid confirmation. It was really him.
“Y-Yunho-yah?” Jaejoong stuttered, feeling overwhelming emotions quickly war inside his heart.
“Yes, it’s me. Why are you stuttering? Is it cold there? I thought LA was a warm place.” Yunho asked, concerned.
“No, it’s - I mean it’s not cold here. I was just... surprised that's all.”
Yunho's lighthearted chuckle felt like music to Jaejoong's ear. “Surprised? Why is that?”
Jaejoong bit at his bottom lip as he gripped the mobile tighter, wanting nothing more than Yunho to be there by his side.
“N-nothing. Just surprised that you suddenly... decided to call.”
“So it’s wrong if i call to find out wheter one of my son is okay after he fainted and get hospitalized now?”
There was a warm feeling inside his body to know that their leader still put concern to their well being, even in the tough situation like this. He was truly their leader. But somehow there was a little spark of dissapointment in his heart.
“Oh no, it’s not wrong...at all,” he whispered almost inaudible.
“And also I desperately miss my boo.” Yunho said firmly from the other line, and suddenly it lighten up his heart, and a smile was carved in his lips.
“silly”
“I know”
“Chessy”
“Just for you boo, so how about Su BooJae?” Yunho’s voice full of concern now.
BooJae.....the nickname that Jaejoong has been craving to hear.
Then Jaejoong answered, eyes shifted to Junsu’s figure, “He is fine now, his fever almost gone, and he is snoring.”
There was a small laughter from Yunho, “I see, I believe he will get better soon, Su is a strong person, and how about Chun?”
“He returned to the Hotel and take some rest after I convinced him that he should take a rest now so that we could switch to take care of Su when the morning come.”
“As if you would take a rest when the morning come.”
“Yah....! But maybe it’s true,I can’t take a rest when one of my son got sick.”
“Typical of you.” Yunho snorted.
“You know me well.” Jaejoong reply.
“Self careless.”
“My habbit”
“Paranoid mother.”
“Annoying Father”
They laughed immediately...
After that Yunho Voice sounded serious, “But please Joongie, you yourself heed some rest, don’t force yourself or you will end in the hospital bed like Junsu did.”
“Yah..! I’m not that weak.” Jae retorted.
“But I know your limit.”
There was a brief silence, and then Yunho the first who broke the silence, “Please Joongie, promise me?”
“....Fine, I promise” Finally Jaejoong answered.
“Good..”
“You too Yunho-yah, Now you and Min are preparing for SM Town Live, and you yourself preparing for Goong, I know you very well, you’ll try too hard for your well being, please take care of your health too.” Now Je’s turn to spill his worry to his lover.
Yunho answered steadily, “I know boo, relax, i know my limit.”
There was a silence again before Jaejoong spoke, “SM Live, It’s been so long since the last time we sang together in one stage, let alone SM Live, I miss the moment when the five of us sang together Yunho-yah, I miss the moment when we gathered, spoke, laughed together.” Without Jaejoong realized it, tears started threaten his eyes.
Yunho sighed, “I know boo....I know, I miss you too, I miss all of you, even min kept yell that he missed homemade cooking, your cooking.”
Jaejoong chuckeld, and did remember about Min, his little son, the smart-ass, who always crave for his cooking, “That silly boy, so he just miss my cooking huh?”
“Yes, he miss your cooking, which mean miss to see you wandering in the kitchen boo.” Yunho said.
Sniff..sniff...
“Boo...?”
Sniff....
“Boo, please don’t cry, we must be strong, we shouldn’t show any weakness, we must keep strong, for us, for Su, for Chun, and for Min, because when we are strong and keeping our faith, it will shown up that we are not scare with the current situation, because this won’t last long, because eventually we will back together when the problem is resolved, because one day we will reunite again as a five, but for now, we must be patient and wait until everything get better, okay boo?” Yunho tried to convinced his boo, aside from his own heartache, but the most important thing now was to make his boo belived and calmed down, because the last thing he wanted was to hear his boo cried.
Finally Jaejoong got a composure although his sound still s bit hoarse, “Yes, you right Yunnie-yah, we must keep our faith, we shouldn’t show any weakness to enyone, we must show to everyone that our bond is still strong.”
Yunho sighed in relief, “Yes you right boo.”
“I love you Yunnie-yah.”
Yunho smiled when he heard the nickname his boo gave to him, “I love you too BooJae, alright, i think we should end our conversation, I don’t want our call being tracked, beside, if we talk longer, I afraid Su will wake up because of your hoarse voice boo.” Yunho said.
Jaejoong laughed a bit, “Ha-Ha, but i think you are right, i don’t wnt to make Su wake up, he need a lot of rest.”
“okay then..Ah Boo?”
“Yes?”
“Are you still use that ringtone?”
“Yes, that’s why i felt shocked when heard it earlier.”
“Why didn’t you change it?”
“Because i remember you would change it again to this song before, so I just let it be.”
“he he.. you right, so don’t ever change it okay?”
“Okay.”
“Good, so goodbye My Flower Lady, send my word for Chun and Su.”
Jajoong chuckled by the said nickname, “Good bye My Prince, and send my word for Min too, and take care of him.”
“My pleasure lady, i love you, bye then...”
“Bye, I love you too Yunnie-yah.”
Tut...tut...tut....
‘I love you always....’
