///Jaejoong cleared the coffee table of all the empty soju bottles and snack bags Junsu had surprised them with only hours before, careful not to disturb the sleeping man on the couch.
With their individual schedules jammed packed and little room for group activities, Jaejoong had finally cracked; and despite Yoochun’s filming schedule and Junsu’s impending tour, he picked up the phone and demanded JYJ time.
His group members, unable to deny him anything for fear of-well-their sanity, readily complied. Hence the mess now in his living room.
But compared to empty silence, Jaejoong happily welcomed the chaos that was Yoochun’s appetite and Junsu’s too eager enthusiasm for fending off vices other than video games.
“He always sleeps so soundly, doesn't he?” Jaejoong observed fondly, looking at the puddle of goo that was Junsu knocked out on the couch.
Joining him, Yoochun laughed. “That is one way of looking at it,” he said shaking his head. Though his tone was playful. “I don’t know how he does it. Seriously. Doesn’t that-hurt?” His head cocked, neck almost snapping off his shoulders and brows abnormally close. “It's a talent only he has, I guess.”
“Among other things,” Jaejoong replied with a tender smile. One that Yoochun had seen many times before.
Feeling sympathetic, Yoochun placed a firm grip over his friend’s shoulder, reassuring him of the bond they all kept. “One day, he may-” he began for the hundredth time.
But as usual, Jaejoong was having none of it. “He will never know, Chunnie” he said lowly, his resignation still coated with hints of heartbreak no amount of years could disguise. “He can't know. Just being by his side is enough.”
“Why? Why does it have to be that way?” Yoochun asked unconvinced.
“Because he would never forgive me,” Jaejoong clarified for the almost-hundredth time. “Changing things wouldn't be easy for either of us. You know that,” he reminded.
Yoochun easily brushed off the warning. “Still. You should give him a chance. You will never know how he feels if you don’t ask. He doesn’t care about other people’s opinions. He is stronger and more willful than-” Yoochun began to argue.
“The both of us combined,” Jaejoong finished for him. “I know, and you know that I know! It's still doesn't make it easy or right,” he pointed out.
Yoochun couldn’t hold back the urge to smile as he scoffed. “For someone who likes to break the rules so much, you sure talk a lot about right and wrong.”
Unamused, Jaejoong rolled his eyes. “Come on, let's finish the song before we forget. He can record his part later.”
