Chapter X



"How long has it been?" He wonders.


JaeJoong never thought he would miss someone this badly as he was missing YooChun now, it had been two days since the other had traveled, and Jae had only raised from his bed to go to the bathroom, eat - very little - and bathe and all that with the minimum of will, he looked like a zombie.


"He promised to call me every day…" JaeJoong pouted then sighed, looking at the curtains as they swing gently with the wind that entered through the open window. His arm rested on his forehead and the other at his side.


He was starting to accept he would spend another night alone, waiting for YooChun to call. It was already passed two on the afternoon and the time seemed to run faster after lunchtime.


He awoke from his glooming state with a jump when the phone, strategically placed next to his head in bed, vibrated and rang on top of the sheets.


"He…llo!" JaeJoong speaks out of breath as if he had run a marathon.


"Hello ... are you okay? You sound like you were running." Says the voice on the other side of the line, listening to JaeJoong’s irregular breathing.


"Ah, Hangen, hi... Is nothing, the phone just scared me." JaeJoong answers a slight disappointment in his voice.


"Well, I’m calling to know if everything was alright, I haven’t seen you in a while and HeeChul told me you didn’t leave the house since YooChun went away, and you are not the kind of person that spends time alone at home, just wanted to know if you’re okay...“ Hangen always worried about his friends, Jae admired this side of him.


"Yes, everything is fine, I'm fine ..." Jae says, not sounding as fine as his friend wanted to hear.


"Are you sure?"


“…”


"Hey Jae, why don’t you go out? Take a spin through the city, visit some nice places ... if I hadn’t already promised to my mother that I would go shopping with her I would go with you, but I can’t say no to her, my mom is worse than the HeeChul with these things." Hangen ends and Jae laughs, at least he has this wonderful friend who makes him a bit better on his dark days.


"I know... in fact, where did the pink person go to?"


"He surely is busy, and I bet he’s not alone."


"Oh my, poor SiWon." Both laughed.


"But seriously, don’t be there molding my dear friend, the sky loves you and wants to see you walking under it."


"Oh well, thanks. You and your poetic phrases." Jae starts to feel a little better.
"Always a pleasure. I stole that one from you. Talk to you later then Jae, bye."


"Bye Hannie." Feeling reinvigorated after the conversation, JaeJoong decided to follow his friend advice. He left his bed going to the bathroom with the intention of taking a long hot bath.


JaeJoong went out without a certain destination, just walk slowly with small steps around the city, hands in pockets, humming songs that reminded him of happy moments.


Walking by a familiar street JaeJoong recognize the place where he went a few days ago.


"Panda’s Veterinary Clinic and Pet Shop." JaeJoong reads the sign and opens a smile.


"Is he there?"


The bell’s door rings again, alerting the person who was behind the counter.
"JaeJoong? What a surprise!"


"ChangMin? Err .. hello." JaeJoong says rather surprised, he wasn’t expecting ChangMin but someone else.


"You came to visit me?" ChangMin asks.


"Of course… I’ve missed you." Jae pats ChangMin’s back while the boy laughs.


"ChangMin, was there another person working here?"


"Another person? You mean JunSu?" ChangMin ponders.


"Yes, JunSu. Is he around?"


"He is, on his way out actually, only getting a few things with Dr. Teuk before he leaves.


"Hmmm ... interesting." JaeJoong says biting his lips.


"Interesting indeed." ChangMin smirks, his famous “I always know what’s going on” smirk.


"Okay, don’t let me forget tomorrow!" JaeJoong and ChangMin turned towards Dr. Teuk’s office when the door opens and JunSu’s voice is heard.


"Aish ..." JunSu sighs looking at the giant box of cat food in his arms.


"How can this cat eat that mu…?” JunSu can’t finish his sentence when he looks up and find the perfect smile JaeJoong is showing him. Unaware of his actions, he knocks the box on his feet.


"Aw! Damn!" He shouts after a while, finally the pain striking.


"Need help? JaeJoong approaches, taking the box and putting it on the floor while supporting JunSu who is holding his foot. ChangMin just laughs, clapping his hands, JunSu sure is a disaster.


JunSu recovers, now with both feet on the ground, still supporting himself on JaeJoong’s shoulders and glaring at ChangMin who still laughing.


"Is everything okay?" JaeJoong asks tilting his head to the side trying to get eye contact with JunSu, a piece of his bangs falling over his eyes.


"Ah, I’m great, thanks." JunSu blushes, removing his hand out of JaeJoong’s shoulders and starts playing with the hem of his shirt, looking down. Jae smiles and takes the box from the floor with ease.


"Where are you going with that?" JaeJoong asks.


"I’m going home; along with... err... where is she?" JunSu searches the room looking for something. "Ah, there! With my kitty." He smiles, pointing at his cat on top of one of the shelves.


"Oh, how cute! I’m going with you then." JaeJoong affirms, carrying the box and walking towards the door.


"Wi… with me?" JunSu stutters.


"Yes, I won’t let you go alone with that box and the cat, an accident can happen." Jae puts the box under his arm and with great affection he holds the kitten with his other hand.


"An accident is what he is.” ChangMin laughs alone.


"Oh, I…thank you." JunSu reaches JaeJoong at the door, helping him opens it.
"Directions please?" Jae asks smiling.


"Oh, through here…" JunSu guides the way. They start walking and JunSu can only observe JaeJoong while he talks to his cat and at each new issue the beauty brings to the feline, eukyankangs echoes in the air.


"Meow."


"Wow, I totally agree!" JaeJoong exclaims, playing along, he enjoyed the opportunity to whisper in JunSu’s ear from time to time saying he was sharing the cat’s secrets so he shouldn’t say it out loud. JunSu of course, didn’t mind at all, never the way to his house was so long and pleasant.


"What did he say this time?" JunSu asked.


"He said you have a beautiful smile." JunSu blushes. "And your eyes too, are beautiful!"


"Oh!" JunSu covers his mouth with his hand giving him an incredulous expression.


"I can’t believe my cat is hitting on me!” He giggles.


"You better be careful, he might attack you." JaeJoong smiles looking straight into JunSu’s eyes, that sighs and stops walking as he realizes that they’re already in front of his house.


"Hum, we’re here ..." JunSu opens the door and invites JaeJoong in.


"Your house is very nice ." JaeJoong says, giving JunSu the box and carefuly placing the cat on the floor.


"Thank you."


Uncomfortable silence.


"Do you want something to drink?" JunSu offers.


"No, thank you."


Uncomfortable silence.


"Well, I need to get going. It was nice to see you again, JunSu, and your kitty too." Jae says, looking down at the cat cuddling on his leg.


Without thinking of a reason to keep JaeJoong at his house, JunSu nods and leads him to the door.


"I hope to see you more often." JunSu smiles.


"Sure, you will." Jae smiles back.


And another moment of uncomfortable silence.


They exchange looks, JaeJoong leans in and kisses JunSu, the kiss is neither on the lips nor on his cheek, it takes a bit of both.


"Later." He says and leaves.


JunSu is left on the door, breathless, heart beating like crazy, a big goofy smile on his face.


----- X -----


When he is returning home, Jae thinks about the day he had, JunSu for sure is a nice company. JaeJoong likes the way he blushes for no reason at all, he likes the way he laughs, his energy, his shyness…


But all that is soon forgotten when he opens the door and face YooChun’s ghost, everything in that house reminded of the other.


Memories comes so quickly that he even feels dizzy - his low voice whispering melodies in the middle of the night, his warm laughter filling the coldness of that room, his eyes tired but captivating - while sipping his coffee all mornings, legs crossed, fingers firmly holding the pen, constantly writing songs - his perfume still lingers in the air.


JaeJoong breathes in, just enough to feel his presence again ... just tow days, how can he miss him that much? Like he was death or something…


I miss him, I need him, I want him… I love him… do I?
"Panda’s Veterinary Clinic and Pet Shop" Yes, Teukie reminds me of pandas so... XDDDDD~
