present
"Happy birthday Yoo--!"
The couple stops on their tracks at the seemingly quiet apartment and spots Junsu on his wheelchair, hugging Juliang close to his chest. Juliang, the doll Junsu bought for Yoochun's birthday. In panic, Jaejoong lets go of the side of the box he's holding and Yunho howls in pain when it falls on his foot but gets ignored as his worrywart boyfriend rushes to tend to Junsu.
"Junsuyah, what's wrong? Where's all the food and the decorations, and-- where the hell is Yoochun?" he asks, taking a seat on the couch and pulling Junsu's wheelchair towards him so they're sitting face to face.
"There's no party, Jj. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. He won't be coming home tonight."
"Because?"
Junsu sighs, his eyes focused on his lap as if he's ashamed to look at his friend in the eyes. "The usual."
"Unbelievable." Jaejoong shakes his head in disappointment. "I know he's busy trying to save lives, but taking a break for one day won't hurt! It's not like he's the only doctor at the hospital. He even works at weekends! One day, Junsu. Just one fucking day and he couldn't even give that to you. And it's his goddamn birthday! He makes me so fucking mad, damn it. He doesn't even realize how much he's hurting someone so precious like you." his frown deepens. The moment he pulls Junsu in a fierce hug, the latter starts sobbing almost uncontrollably. He's mad. He's hurt Junsu with his words but that's nothing compared to the hurt Yoochun is unintentionally causing him.
"H-he hates Juliang..." He stiffens for a moment and then rubs Junsu's back silently telling him to carry on. "I tried to tell him but... but he said it's... he said I'm silly and then he laughed at me and told me how I should stop thinking about... about t-things..."
"I'm sorry but he's a dickhead." he pauses, and then continues. "No actually, I'm not sorry at all. He's a fucking dickhead."
"Jaejoong..." Yunho interrupts, putting a hand on top of Junsu's head. Yoochun is his friend but Jaejoong is right. He's neglected Junsu a lot of times and brushing him off regarding family matters, that's a very douchey thing to do. Yunho clearly remembers the talk they had before and he sounded plenty regretful. What's with his attitude now? If Yoochun keeps this up, he won't even be surprised if Junsu breaks up with him, although that might not be the case seeing as how much Junsu loves him. Junsu just cannot live without him. Now the question is, can he?
"We bought you a crib." Jaejoong says softly, running a hand through Junsu's soft locks. "For Juliang."
"She's a doll." Junsu hisses, throwing the inanimate object on the floor, startling him and Yunho.
With a frown, he detaches himself from the shaking figure and picks up the doll, putting it back on Junsu's lap. "She's not just a doll, Junsu. She's your daughter, remember?"
Snapping out of his trance, Junsu sobs harder, hugging Juliang with his shaky hands. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." he whispers, pressing kisses atop Juliang's head once in a while. "I'm such a bad parent. I'm sorry, my baby..."
The pair could only watch Junsu, feeling so helpless. Neither of them are Yoochun. No matter how much they want to make him feel better, they both know they couldn't.
"I'm going to see Yoochun." Jaejoong whispers in Yunho's ear, careful not to let Junsu hear him.
"No. Jae, don't."
"Shut up. One of us has to. And since you're too much of a softie to even raise your voice at your friend, I'm going to do the dirty job instead." Yunho grabs onto his wrist. He shakes his head. "Please... for Junsu?"
Jaejoong smiles when Yunho pecks him on the lips-- his way of saying yes. "Make him stop hurting."
"I'll bring his medicine home. I love you."
"I love you too. Take care, love."
He was told that Doctor Park is at room 206, but he was not told to expect the man carrying a little boy clinging onto him for dear life and a woman, who is surely the mother, hugging him from behind. His heart is already breaking for Junsu, but watching the scene slowly unfold before him feels as if his heart has been shattered into a million pieces and stepped on by his mortal enemy (not that he has one).
He blinks back his tears and takes a deep breath before making his presence known. "What a very touching scene."
Yoochun turns around and gasps but makes no move to detach himself from the boy or the woman. "J-jaejoongah..."
"It's not what it looks like?"
"N-no... I..."
"So it is what it looks like. Do you have any idea how Junsu is feeling right now?" Jaejoong clicks his tongue. "I bet you don't since you seem to be having fun with someone else that is not your husband." he says with real venom in his voice.
"Jaejoong, please..."
"No Park Yoochun. You are not allowed to plead or ask for anything. The only thing you're supposed to do is listen. You better fucking listen. I don't care if that kid or that woman will hear what I'm about to say. I'm not even your husband and yet I am so fucking mad about the whole thing. Good thing I didn't let Junsu tag along. That poor thing." he takes a step forward and swats the woman's hands away from Yoochun's waist.
"Hey!"
"Shut up. You calm your tits and sit the fuck down!" he demands, pointing at the direction of the chair on the corner. The woman complies. "Let go of that kid, Yoochun. Take him back to his bed because I don't want to hurt him when I beat the daylights out of you." Yoochun also complies, putting the stunned kid down his bed. As soon as he turns around to face Jaejoong, the man's palm greets his cheek. He hisses in pain, but does not say anything more. "God that felt so good." Jaejoong mumbles, wiping his tears with his hands. He's already crying, crying for his friend. His friend whom he loves so much. "You are horrible. So vile. You deny Junsu a family and yet you have one right here. Is this why you barely go home? Why you talk like an asshole to your husband? Is that it? Do you have any idea how much he's hurting right now?!"
"Look Jaejoong, I'm sorry but it's not like I'm cheating on him."
He laughs manically and then shoots him a glare. "Then what is this? Playing house? Because Junsu is a man and he cannot bear children? Then why the fuck did you even marry him?! What were your vows for? What is he? Your plaything? Damn it Yoochun you know he's much more than that!"
"You're making a scene here. Let's go." Yoochun speaks, grabbing a hold of Jaejoong's wrist and drags him to his office.
"Let go of me you douchebag!" he bites Yoochun's wrist in anger, causing the latter to let go of him. "I thought you were nice. I admired you, even. For taking care of someone like Junsu. I know it's hard and yet you still do. I thought you love him."
"I do love him."
"Then what's this all about? Is that kid dying? Is that why you have to pretend you're his father so he'd have happy memories when he..."
Yoochun shakes his head. "No, it's not like that. The kid thinks I'm his father because his mother told him so. I didn't see any problem with that since he'll only be here for one more week. I'm just doing my job, Jaejoong."
"That is not a part of your job description,Yoochun." he presses both his palms on his eyes to stop himself from crying. But it's just not working and it's frustrating him. "What would happen after that one week his up? Surely, he'd look for you still since you're supposed to be his father. Can't you see? That woman is using her son to get you. She's clinging onto you like a fucking leech! You're a doctor, you're supposed to be smart. Do you know how miserable Junsu is feeling right now? He wanted to prepare a birthday party for you..."
"He can't do that."
"See, that's what your problem is. You underestimate him too much." he states, sitting on the doctor's chair. His tears have stopped, his anger dissipated, but he's still as frustrated as ever. "Just because he's special you think he can't do this, he can't do that. Yunho told me... he told me how Junsu wants a family with you so bad but you won't let him. After all that's happened, I'm not sure if you even love him."
"Of course I do."
"I'm sorry Yoochun but I doubt it. You may love him but not as much as you love your job."
"Don't be ridiculous, Jaejoong. I love Junsu more than anything."
"Actions speak louder than words, doctor Park." he mocks, testing the doctor's patience. "Look, you don't have to prove anything to me. But to Junsu, you do. He needs you. You've neglected him long enough. Now you have to show him that he still means everything to you. You are such a beautiful couple. I don't want your relationship to go to waste just because of something like this. You've hurt him real bad this time. Please... he's an angel. You and I both know that. It hurts me to see him hurting. Do something, Yoochun please. I'm begging you."
Jaejoong promised Yunho he'll bring the birthday boy back home and bring him back home, he does. He watches as Yoochun runs towards the depressed Junsu enveloping him in a bone-crushing hug and smiles. Yoochun may have messed up big time, but he trusts him to make things right. After all, Yoochun won't be on his knees, wailing as he begs Jaejoong to take him home to Junsu if he's not eager to mend their strained relationship.
He takes Yunho's hand in his and leads him out of the house. "Will they be okay?"
"I'm sure they will be."
"That's good then. Mind telling me what happened?"
"When we get home. Let's stop by the ice cream parlor first." he swings their intertwined hands and sighs in content. "Yunho..."
"Yes baby?"
"I'm so glad you're not a doctor."
