Title: I’ll Walk Forward; It's a Long Way (TVXQ)
A/N: This was supposed to be for their 7 year anniversary but I kinda forgot to post it, so now I’m posting it with some addition to it :)

It has been fairly more than a year since TVXQ was a complete solid five. For the past year, struggles, pain, joy, hopes and heartaches were encountered not only by the members, but also by their fans, Cassiopeia. Their fans who they know support and love them entirely. Cassiopeia’s never-ending love for the five Gods is beyond doubt amazing - they really deserve to be titled as one of the best and largest fandom around the world. Cassiopeia is a five-star constellation, five shining stars. I know many Cassiopeias, including a hardcore Cassie myself, would hope to see five particular stars shine on one stage very soon.
TVXQ are legends; and I’m not saying this because I’m a biased Cassie but as a kpop fan. They renamed the genre ‘KPOP’. It would take a whole new decade, hell possibly even a century to find five men as amazingly talented as them. Five different voices that took a long time to harmonize but ended up blending perfectly whether acapella or not. TVXQ is just the perfect band. Scratch that, they’re not just a band, they are a family.
Jaejoong once said that he doesn’t need a pet because he has his members by his side. But here’s the thing, he now has Jiji (his cat)...any meaning in mind? To me, having Jiji is an indication for his miss for the two remaining members in the group. This may sound weird but for once I actually hoped I was in an animal’s position, namely Jiji’s. He takes so much care for her, like how he used to be so motherly with Yunho and Changmin. He even once tweeted about Homin when he was drunk. Meaning? He misses them.
Call me sensitive or what so ever. But I got teary-eyed when Yoochun stated in an interview that if this whole ongoing issue is something they could solve among themselves, it would have been solved ages ago. That very statement gave me such hope in a way that JYJ is still open to reconcile with Homin. Though I choked up when JYJ mentioned about not regretting, not even a tad bit, about filing the lawsuit to SM. The lawsuit that saved the SM artists to a much better contract deal with the company but caused the three to be separated from their two beloved members and friends, Yunho and Changmin.
Speaking of Yunho and Changmin, they just recently celebrated the 7 years of TVXQ. 7 years since they stepped on stage on Dec. 26, 2003 singing their debut song, Hug. I was glad to hear Homin happy and excited when they released their message for the fans on the day of the anniversary. However, it felt like something was missing, perhaps three certain voices that should have been celebrating with them. Now that the long wait for the return of the Rising Gods is almost over with their comeback this week, it is probably one of the most anticipated events for the start of 2011 - well in my case that is.
TVXQ, Tohoshinki, DBSK; no matter how many names the band is given, they still mean the same thing - the Rising Gods of the East. The Gods that brought us laughter, joy, tears and never ending UMFness.
Jung Yunho, Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu and Shim Changmin, we, Cassiopeias, will wait for the day you all five stand on one stage. Stand with the name we all admire and love, TVXQ. We’ll wait even if that so called day will be this year, next year or the upcoming years. Whatever the obstacle is, no matter how long the wait is...
We’ll ‘Always Keep the Faith’
