At Your Service - 2

The days flutter by rapidly and lands Junsu into second semester of the school year. “Yah!” Yoochun nudges as they walk together down the hall, “What classes do you have for second term?”

Junsu hands him his new schedule with a smile, “I didn’t pick most of them, I guess I didn’t have a choice since I moved here during the year,” the young student replies as he adjusts his glasses.

“Cooking?” Yoochun almost laughs, “That’s ridiculous!”

“There are some guys that like to cook, hyung,” Junsu pouts cutely.

Yoochun rubs his chin and hands Junsu back his schedule, “I guess, like Yunho's ex, Jaejoong.”

“Jaejoong?”

`

“Jaejoong!” The teacher raises her voice.

“Oh,” surprised, Jaejoong looks up from kitchen B, “What is it?”

“Since each student from last term had experience you will be pair up with someone new for this term.”

Jaejoong looks at the shy student by Mrs. Han’s side, timidly fixing his glasses. “I’m pairing you guys up alphabetically, this is Kim Junsu,” she replies resting her hands on his shoulders and pushes him in front, as if a display to Jaejoong.

“Hi Jaejoong,” Junsu bows slightly, “please show me around.” With that the teacher leaves what seems to be a room full of new students to go in front and instruct directions for today.

“Ahhh!” Jaejoog suddenly remembers and pulls Junsu by him, “you’re Yunho’s boyfriend!” he smiles brightly and hands Junsu an apron.

“Thanks,” Junsu stole a glance at Jaejoong. He’s gorgeous, how am I to compete with that?

“Here Junsu,” Jaejoong hands him a cup, “You can measure the flour, we’re making cup cakes today.”

He glances down at the cup and then to Jaejoong who turns away and continues to work on the eggs. His heart was thumping, he was very nervous and couldn’t figure out why. “Can I ask you a question?” Junsu bends so that he is at eye level to cup as he pours the flour.

“Sure,” the older replies trashing the shells.

“Yunho likes you a lot, why did you two break up?”

Jaejoong chuckles and takes the cup full of flour to pour into the bowl, “He likes somebody else now.”

Unwilling to take that as an answer, Junsu continues, “There must be a reason, may I know?”

“Well, it’s no biggie,” Jaejoong sets down the cup and turns to look at Junsu in the eye, “Yunho is a football player, things got in the way. I mean yeah, we liked each other a lot, but he was always busy and didn’t have time for me.”

“But I’m sure he was in season and Yunho would have tried hard to balance things out with you!”

“Junsu ah, you don’t understand. I can only handle so much. Yunho couldn’t even spare me an hour during season. That’s when I met Changmin,” Jaejoong’s annoyance began to show as he turns back to his batter. “I rather not talk about Yunho anymore.”

A slight frown appears on Junsu’s face.

`

“Even though today is the start of a new term, everyone did well on their quarter exam!” Shiwon exclaims, “So we’re going out to…”

“CELEBRATE!” Kangin, Hangkyung and Hyukjae shout loudly causing Junsu to giggle.

Yoochun also chuckles and puts his arms across Junsu’s shoulder, “Let’s go Junsu. The guys always hang out after the quarter, it’s like tradition.”

Junsu’s eyes widen in amusement and looks over at Yunho, as if asking for permission. His boyfriend looks almost annoyed.

“Hyung…” Hyukjae waddles over to Yunho and grasps onto his right arm, shaking it left to right and back again, “Are you going to go with us?”

Yunho didn’t reply.

“Yes!” Hyunjae announces, “Let’s go!”

“We have to hurry, what if we miss the bus?” A grin breaks out on Hankyung’s face.

“Yeah,” Yoochun agrees and pulls Junsu by the wrist, “Let’s go!”

`

“This is annoying,” Yunho mutters, “Junsu probably has to get home anyway.”

“Yunho!” Kangin glares, “Hush! We’re already on the bus,” he turns to Junsu with a sweet smile, “You don’t right Junsu?”

Junsu shakes his head and scoots into his seat.

Yunho was about to take the one across when Hangkyung protests, “Yunho! Sit with your boyfriend!”

“Yeah, there are only a few seats left. Somebody has to share,” Shiwon added.

Yunho was practically shoved into the seat next to Junsu and he doesn’t mind, instead responds with only a small gaze, “Yah!” Yunho leans over and whispers into his ear, “what’s with that face? Don’t want to sit by me?”

“Of course I do,” their eyes met, “you’re my boyfriend.”

They were singing to a Boa song when the old people start to complain, the bus driver gives them a deathly glare and the boys shut up. Junsu is tired of seeing cars blend by and eventually he leans over to Yunho, following his warmth and rests his head onto the other’s shoulder.

Yunho looks down at him slowly and felt his heart jumps. Junsu’s dark lashes spread evenly at the rim of his eyelids and a tongue darts just a tiny bit and retreats. Oh damn, this is not suppose to turn out this way. The one he really likes is Jaejoong, not Junsu. Deciding that it was scary how Junsu can affect him like that Yunho quickly shoves the smaller frame the other side.

Junsu catches the momentum and his head bangs against the window sill frightening him awake. His sleepy red eyes stumble to meet Yunho’s in a questioning gaze.

“Lean over there,” Yunho quickly says and blinks turning away.

“Sorry hyung,” the younger student almost whispers and he rubs his head while he yawns into his other palm.

“Meanie!” Hyukjae’s head perches up and accuses Yunho before Shiwon pulls him back.

`

“Are you sure?” Hangkyung asks eyeing Junsu who is sitting at an empty bench with a packet of ice between his hands.

“I really don’t know how to play these games,” Junsu admits, “I’ll just sit here.”

“It’ll be no fun without you,” Yoochun tugs at his right arm.

“Maybe later,” Junsu gives them a full smile, “I’ll watch and then I’ll learn.”

They let him be, walk over to the other boys and Shiwon sighs, “Yunho, you’re going to let him sit like that?”

“He wants to.”

“Aww hyung,” Hyukjae pouts, “you were so nice to Jaejoong when you brought him along.”

“Yeah,” Kangin says and looks at Junsu pressing the packet over a red bump on his head.

`

Junsu looks around the arcade and then averts his eyes back down to the ground. He nearly jumps when he saw a pair of familiar shoes right in front of him. Yunho looks down at him, “Your head, any better?”

“Yeah,” A smile breaks out on Junsu’s lips while his heart thumps loudly.

Yunho takes a seat by him and breathes out looking ahead. Junsu doesn’t question why he does it and doesn’t wonder what Yunho thinks. Instead, he shyly curls into the other with a small smile, “Thank you for letting me come today.”

Junsu doesn't understand why Jaejoong thinks that way, but Yunho does try.
