“Are you sure you are not coming for the party?” He asks sipping his blue mountain coffee. “Thanks for the invitation hyung, but I have promise Yunho hyung to celebrate with him.” Yoochun look up from his cup of Hawaiian Kona coffee. The self-proclaim soul mates, meet up at the café near downtown three days later after not contacting each other for a month due to their own busy schedule. “The both of you still celebrate it within yourselves?” Jaejoong sounds alarmed with the knowledge that Yoochun and Yunho still celebrate the occasion, though it wasn’t an official holiday. “Somehow, it just became a routine. Probably not like last time, but we still meet up.” “I see…” Silence fills the table and who knows minutes later, he broke it. “Can I ask you this question? Will you tell me your thoughts?” Yoochun look at Jaejoong seriously. Jaejoong gets uncomfortable with the stare that Yoochun gives. “What’s up Chun, why with that question?” “Jae hyung, don’t you ever thought of being with Yunho hyung again?” Yoochun asks cautiously, he knows that Yunho is a sensitive topic to Jaejoong.
“Jae hyung, don’t you ever thought of being with Yunho hyung again?” he heard from Yoochun. Feelings churning in his heart again, when was the particular day that he didn’t thought of it. Been there and done it, but again the broke up because of the straining of their relationship. Why try going through it again for the second time? “ Can we don’t go over this question? I don’t think…” “Hyung, why are the both of you the same? Too afraid to talk about the topic, too afraid to talk about each other like a taboo! Where are the old hyungs that doesn’t care about how the world sees them gone? Where are the hyungs that love each other so much gone to?” Yoochun got tired from how the YunJae couple been behaving for the past three years. “Chun, we…” Jaejoong try to give his explanations but Yoochun snap. “Hyung, you told me your reason, yunho hyung told me his side of the story. Just what make you guys think that you guys have no difference with Junsu in this manner? I know what you guys feeling very much, so don’t tell me it’s different approach or whatever. Same to Yunho hyung, I told him the same thing. Just till when will the three of you face the problem directly? Going around it doesn’t give you the solution and you guys know that very well. I apologize for my attitude now but I really want you guys to think. Anyway I’m tapping today’s and don’t fight with me hyung.” Just then, Yoochun’s phone rang. “Yeoboseyo? Yoochun speaking here… ah Donghae, what’s up?” Jaejoong look up at Yoochun answering his phone drinking his coffee and thinking about his question in his mind. “Okay, I will get there soon.” Yoochun hang up the call looking at Jaejoong, he apologise “Sorry hyung, I got to go back to the company for some fixing, I see you next time? Still, the bill is on me.” With that he left the booth and go up to the counter to pay for the bill before leaving the café.
“Yunho what are you having on the post-Christmas/pre-New year celebration? Any plans yet?” Heechul ask over the lunch. “Yeah, as usual with Yoochun,” Yunho reply after a bite of his burger. “Not again? You guys don’t have anything new? It’s been three years, time for you guys to get something new!” Heechul says poking at his greens with his fork. “Why not the two of you join Kyunggie and me to celebrate at his friend’s house?” “I don’t think that’s a very good idea hyung. Besides, it’s Hankyung’s friend not to add that no way that Yoochun and I impose on him for the day without invitation.” “Fine, then the two of you go celebrate it the so-call usual way by yourselves.” Heechul continue his lunch not speaking until Yunho ask him about the rest of the schedule for the rest of the day. His thoughts went back to the past post-Christmas/pre-New year celebration, a simple dinner with YooSu couple, KiMin couple, Siwon and Hankyung. The few of them gather together over the table and spend the night away. Though it’s just a simple dinner, it brings them closer to each other.
/* I wonder does he still have that for post-Christmas/pre-New year celebration… */
“Okay thanks for the information Bummie, see you.” He hangs up the phone. Just what he needs to know, the time and venue for the post-Christmas/pre-New year celebration. The day will never change unless important things happen. /* Hmmm… potluck… hyung, just what are you planning this year? */ As he plans what food to bring to the party. ‘I eat you up your love your love… I eat you up your love your love…’ sounds the speakers. Dancing to the song at his free time as an exercise routine everyday ever since he went to America, making him open up to more room for improvement. Looking into the mirror his mind tell him, this is the new you. No longer the one that runs away from problems. ‘Report to the dance floor put me on put me on put me on put me on put me on put me on…’ dancing energetically the phone rings putting his dance routine to a pause. He froze at the sight of the screen.
“Junsu?” the voice sound uncertain over the other side. “Yes, this is Junsu speaking. Whom am I speaking to?” thoughts running in his mind wondering how this person get his phone number. A sudden shriek sound through the phone before the voice speaks again. “I finally get to you! Oh damn Junsu, you don’t know who am I? I’m BoA!” before a string of laughter sound through the phone. Shock went through him before he breaks out in a long laughing fit. “Yah! Stop laughing over there!” BoA whines. “My apologies, of course I know who you are. How are you after I left? You survived?” he snickers. “How narcissist are you, of course I survive! I’ve been here way longer than you, dumb block.” BoA retorts. BoA is a friend that Junsu made back in states. She’s a singer and Junsu is lucky to work with her in one of her song energetic. “Have you met up with him yet?” She asks in curiosity. Junsu take a seat at the couch before answer her question. “Not yet, currently no one knows I’m back yet other than the one I contacted.” “Is that Jaejoong that you contacted?” She recalls how Junsu will talk to her about his friends. “Nope, not him. He doesn’t know yet, I’m planning a surprise for him though.” Junsu gets excited talking to BoA about how Jaejoong will react to his surprise. “But I think I will get my death as soon as it ends.” Knowing Jaejoong’s character, he knows he will get into trouble for not telling him that he came back. “Oh my Junsu, you are sure cute. See how you got excited about the surprise and next minute you say your death is near.” BoA laughs at the other side. Junsu hearing this begin to pout at his side. “Yah! How many times did I tell you that I’m not cute!” he barks into the phone. BoA laughs harder making Junsu pouts even more. “Fine, I shan’t tease you anymore, you better meet up with him soon. Anyway I got to get going. I’ll talk to you next time. I so want to see you soon. Miss you.” “Okay! Miss you too!” before the other side of the phone sounds the dial tone.
/* Let’s just hope that you can settle with him soon, Junsu… */
