Title: All I ask for is one thing.

Something is going on. A chill went up the spine of a man who looked about him and saw four faces that look innocent yet evil at the same time. He doesn’t have a good feeling about this.

“Yunho, find out before it is too late!” Yunho thought to himself. He couldn’t bring himself to trust the members when the four of them gather together and not include him in the gatherings, especially Jaejoong who recently have this devilish glint in his eyes.

“Ya, what are you guys doing?” Yunho asked the surprised members who wasn’t expecting him.

“Ah, nothing. We were just discussing what game we are going to play later tonight since we have the day off,” Yoochun said while avoiding Yunho’s eyes.

Yunho narrowed his eyes at his members and decide on who can he get the secret out of.

“I’ll work on Junsu, he can’t really keep a secret, not for long anyway,” Yunho thought.

“I’m going to start making breakfast,” Jaejoong mumbled.

“I’m going to check the UFO messages,” Changmin said.

“I’m going to call my brother,” Junsu said.

“I’m...ah... I’m going to check the UFO messages with Changmin,” Yoochun said and ran after Changmin who left the room.

Yunho looked around the empty room, looking for hints that would tell him what is up with his members.

He found none except for a piece of paper that has the word “boxers” on it. Yunho became even more confused and more determined to find out the truth.

“Maybe they are going to switch my boxers with some weird, ridiculous looking ones. I better go hid my boxers,” Yunho thought.

*Bring, bring* The phone rang throughout the empty room. Seeing that he is the only one in the room, he picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

“Hello? Is this Jaejoong?” a female voice asked.

“No, it’s Yunho. I’ll give the phone to Jaejoong,” Yunho said.

“Ok thanks,” the voice replied.

Yunho went into the kitchen and gave the phone to Jaejoong who immediately went into the bathroom and shut the door. Yunho’s curiosity went up and he pressed his ear on the bathroom door, hoping to hear the conversation.

“Hyung, what are you doing?” Junsu’s voice came from behind him.

Yunho jumped and turn around to face Junsu.

“Um, nothing. Ah, there is something I want to talk to you about,” Yunho said and grabbed Junsu before he could escape. Junsu has this apprehensive look on his face.

“Hyung, did I do something wrong?” Junsu asked, putting on his best cute, pitiful look. Unfortunately for him, Yunho is immune to his tactic.

“Nah, but it has to do with something else. Come, let talk in my room,” Yunho replied. He is thinking that this will be a piece of cake. Junsu caught sight of Changmin and Yoochun who was peeking in from the living room. He could only use his eyes to plead to them for help.

Changmin and Yoochun share a look at each other as the door close behind Yunho and Junsu. They heard the door opening behind them and turn around to see Jaejoong coming out. They both rush to him and start babbling.

“Yunho hyung..”

“Junsu..”

“Inside”

“Got him”

“Big trouble”

“What to do hyung?”

Jaejoong could only look at his dongsengs and said, “Ah?”

“Yunho hyung got Junsu in the room with him. We are going to be in big trouble, you know, cause Junsu can’t really keep the secret for long. We have to do something!” Changmin said.

Jaejoong looked at the door to Yunho’s room and thought about what they could do to save Junsu from Yunho. Meanwhile, inside the room Junsu was fast becoming sick at the thought of what Yunho would do to get the secret out of him. He grabbed Bambi, Yunho’s beloved daughter, hoping that this toy can protect him.

“So...” Yunho began. Just then, the door burst open and the other three members rushed in.

“Aha, so you think you can escape from us don’t you?” Jaejoong yelled. “Get him!!!!” he shouted to the other two members.

“What?” A surprised Yunho said.

Changmin and Yoochun grabbed Junsu and grabbed him out of the room. Jaejoong turn to Yunho and said, “sorry, Yunho, we just found out that Junsu ate all of our chocolate so we want to get him back. Yunho-ya, Bambi is on the floor right now.”

Yunho turned around and saw that Bambi was indeed on the ground. “Oh thank you” he said, turn around and saw that Jaejoong disappeared. He walked out of the room and heard the front door slammed shut. Yunho shrugged and thought that he will try again later tonight.

On the other side of the door, the members let a collective sigh of relief. They then headed over to the lobby for a talk.

“This is hard work,” Changmin said, “I want to eat.”

“Ya, stop thinking about food. We have more serious thing to deal with than your eating,” Junsu said.

“Okay, okay, I got the call that the cake is about to be done. So what kind of icing do you guys want?” Jaejoong asked.

“How about pink icing?” Yoochun asked.

“NO!” the other three members shouted and then look around, hoping that they did not disturb anyone. After all they don’t want to attract too much attention on themselves otherwise Yunho will come and ruin the plan.

“Pink icing is not very manly. We need something more fitting. How about the regular white icing to symbolize pure heart with a bit of blue to represent serenity?” Changmin suggested.

“Good one, Changmin. See, our Changmin is quite smart when he is not only thinking about food,” Junsu said while patting Changmin on his back.

“Hyung!” Changmin said with a hurtful look.

“Sorry but it’s true, after all you got the name Minfood, eu kyang kyang,” Junsu said and started laughing. The other members joined in.

“Ok, so how are we going to proceed with the next step of the plan?” Jaejoong asked.

“Well since Yunho-hyung is trying to get the secret out of Junsu, why don’t Junsu pretend to get caught by him outside of the room and led him in?” Yoochun suggested. The other members quickly agree and continued on planning.

*Five hours later, at 6:00pm*

“Ya Junsu! I was looking for you,” Yunho called out. Junsu who was walking back toward their apartment jumped and look at him nervously.

“What are you so nervous about?” Yunho asked when he caught up with Junsu. “Gotcha! This time I will make sure you can’t get away,” Yunho thought to himself secretly.

“Nothing, just feeling a little restless,” Junsu replied. In his mind he was hoping that Yunho doesn’t get what’s going on before he get him into the room.

“Ooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, so what is up with you guys? Sneaking around and stop talking whenever I come near?” Yunho asked.

“Um...um... oh I think I hear Jaejoong-hyung calling, how about we go inside?” Junsu said when he saw that the time is here.

“Nah, I want to talk to you before we go in,” Yunho said, refusing to move.

“Ok, can you wait just a bit? I need to go.... you know?” Junsu said while pretending that he has to go.

When Yunho saw how anxious his member looked, he could torture the poor boy any more so he agreed. Junsu immediately ran inside. Yunho heard some shuffling inside the apartment when Junsu closed the door. He opened the door and step into the dark.

“Eh? Why is it so dark in here?” Yunho said and turn on the lights.

“SURPRISE!!!!!”

Many voices shouted these words out. Yunho looked around him and saw that the staffs that they work with, the managers and his members were there with an expectance look on their face.

“Ah... what’s going on?” the clueless Yunho asked while scratching the back of his head.

The four DBSK members sighed and walked up to him. They lightly tap his head and suddenly Jaejoong yelled, “PIG PILE!!!!” All four members heaped themselves top of Yunho. Yunho could hear the manager and staffs laughing but couldn’t quite get what’s going on. He couldn’t think anyway, not when there are four pigs, scratch that, one pig and three idiots are piling themselves on top of him, knocking his breath out.

The members finally got off of him and Changmin helped him up.

“So, mind telling me what is going on?” a breathless Yunho asked.

Jaejoong just rolled his eyes are pointed to the big banner above the couch.

“Happy birthday Yunho! You are the best leader we can ask for,” the banner reads.

“Eh? Today is my birthday?” Yunho asked.

“YES!” all the members shouted.

“Ai... Yunho-sshi, enjoy it while you can. Tomorrow is a packed day for you guys,” the manager said.

“So what about the piece of paper that I found with the word ‘boxer’ on it?” Yunho asked.

“Oh! That’s the beginning of my shopping list since Yoochun ruined all of my boxers,” Junsu said, glaring at Yoochun.

“Hey, I couldn’t it, your boxers annoys me, especially when they have a bunch of cartoon characters on it. How can you be charismatic when you wear cartoon boxers?” Yoochun retorted.

“You!!! You!!” Junsu said and went for Yoochun’s throat.

The room was filled with laughter as Yunho tried to separate the two. At the back of his mind, all he could think of was how thankful he is to be with such great members and hope that they can continue to have more funs and happiness in a future that is filled with uncertainties ahead of them.

Title: LOVE IS…

Main Characters:
You – Jung Hye Jin (HJ)
Jung Yunho – Yun Ho (YH)

Disclaimer: you'll probably think it's one of those sick stories again…but there are twists to the story so try to read it first…Thanks…^^

Have you ever felt like you despise everything in the world? Has anything happened to you that made you hate even your own existence?

I am Jung Hye Jin. I'm just like any other girl but unlike most of them, I haven't experienced love because I never believed I can love nor be loved. Well that's because I could die anytime soon. I'm sick…real sick… This is why I don't really disclose or express myself to others. Ever since I learned I have Leukemia, everything seemed hopeless until I met him 6 years ago in the hospital. He was there because he has a weak heart and needed transplant but because he was still young for an operation he had to be in the hospital all the time.

***6 years ago***

HJ: are you sick, too? (talked to the boy sitting beside her)
Boy: NO! I just have a heart problem. That's it.
HJ: Isn't the heart what makes us alive? If it stops beating, we're dead.
Boy: Do you think I'm that weak? Huh! I'm stronger than you think.
(tries to lift a heavy bench…instead of succeeding, he fell on his back)
HJ: (laugh) you're so funny… I'm Jung Hye Jin… I have Leukemia… and you?
Boy: Oh…we have the same last name. I'm Jung Yunho.
HJ: Yunho-sshi! I'll call you Yunho-sshi!
YH: Arasso…I'll call you…(thinks…) Oh! Bambi!
HJ: Bambi?!
YH: Un! Because you're so thin (holds her arms)…yet you're so cute (pulls her cheeks). Your eyes are big,too just like Bambi's. hahaha…

***end of 6 years ago***

And that's how I met Yunho-sshi. He's a high-spirited boy and he always made me happy. He would always tell me that the injections & everything I or he had to go through were not painful at all because both of us are strong and that I should always fight because if I don't fight then I won't survive and besides, he said he'd always be behind me anyway. Because of him, I learned how to smile…how to appreciate my existence and I also learned how to love. He was my first love. I even forgot the severeness of the situation we are in. And so, I planned on disclosing my feelings for him but then he suddenly stopped coming to the hospital. He disappeared just like that without telling me. My life came crushing down. I wanted to know why he disappeared so badly but I never heard from him anymore. I never saw him until…

***scene start***

Teacher: Annyeonghaseyo…Welcome back students… I'll be checking the attendance now….Ahn Min Kyung? (calls a lot of names….)…. Jung Hye Jin?
HJ: Here.
Teacher: Jung Yunho?
HJ: *whisper* Yunho-sshi???

(Suddenly a young man came rushing into the room)

YH: I'm here!
(He sat behind Hye Jin who tries to get a good look of him without turning her head around.)

After school, HJ looked for him but he disappeared like a ghost. For days, like a mushroom he'd appear in class and quickly disappear after. However, HJ was desperate to talk to him about 6 years ago so she decided she'll stalk him.

HJ: (while following him…) *whisper* would you slow down a little…

Suddenly, YH disappeared. HJ looked around and there was no sign of YH. Sadden, HJ decided to go home but then out of nowhere….

YH: Why are you following me? Are you my stalker? I guess my manly appearance got you attracted huh?
HJ: Yunho-sshi…
YH: Yunho-sshi?
HJ: Don't you remember me? We met 6 years ago at the hospital
(Yunho looks like he knows but then again maybe he doesn't…)
YH: What? Sorry… I don't remember. Now…please leave me alone.
HJ: That's stupid! Tell me why you stopped coming to the hospital?
YH: I don't know what you're talking about. Leave me alone.
HJ: no! *shouts* TELL ME! I NEED TO KNOW!
YH: *yells* ARE YOU NUTS?! I SAID I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! GET LOST, PSYCHO!
(schocked… tears ran down HJ's face)
HJ: I just wanted to know if you're alright now. I was just so worried.Maybe I'm mistaken.

She turned around and ran. All she wanted was to get away. Yunho on the other hand was still shocked by his and her reactions. For the whole night he was preoccupied. The next day at PE class HJ and her girls were playing sorta like a basketball game but they don't dribble the ball. HJ tries to shoot but the ball got stucked between the ring and the board.

HJ: Oh shoot!
Sun Ah: We're dead…
HJ: Don't worry! I'll get it…

HJ and her friends got a ladder and she started to climb… she tries to reach for the ball but yeah.. you guessed right! She slipped…

*BUGSH*
YH: Gotcha! you're heavier than I thought…(hugging her so tight while she's on top of him)
HJ: (pushed him back) thanks… I can see your tweety boxers by the way.(it turns out, his PE pants were pulled down a little)
She gets up and so does YH while fixing his PE pants. She tries to walk away but then suddenly he lifted her.

HJ: what are you doing?
YH: taking you to the clinic… you have a wound!

When HJ saw the wound and blood, she passed out.. YH stayed with her until she woke up.
YH: Hey..how are you feeling?
HJ: Fine..(looked away)
YH: About yesterday…I lied.
(HJ looked at him)
YH: I lied.. the truth is, I remember you... I just didn't want to remember I was sick before… I wasn't able to enjoy soccer nor run as fast as I can… you know, things a boy does..I really hated it…I just didn't want my past to haunt me again.. I'm really sorry, Hye Jin.
(HJ smiled..)

***scene end***

That's how we got reunited… Since then we became closer than ever. It felt like I'm back to 6 years ago…I feel so happy that I don't care even if I exhaust myself out… I can't let him know I'm still sick, can I? If I tell him everything will be ruined… 6 years ago we promised each other we will both get well and fulfill our dreams. He dreams to become a singer and I? I dream to be… well it's a secret until now. Then my birthday came…

***scene start***

YH: Happy Birthday Hye Jin!
HJ: Hye Jin? (noticed that he never calls her Bambi anymore)
YH: You're Hye Jin, right?
HJ: Right…(she just smiled…) Yunho-sshi… what's your dream again?
YH: Oh…(thought for a while..) to become a singer! Didn't I tell you?
HJ: (laughs) of course… you did! (what am I thinking?)
YH: I have a surprise for you!

Yunho brought her on the rooftop of his apartment. There, everything for a party is prepared.. All her friends are waiting for her.
Friends: Happy Birthday Hye Jin…
YH: Here's your birhday cake. (he kisses her on the cheeks…)
Friend: HJ! Your face… it's blushing… just like the pink-icing on the cake!
HJ: No I'm not!

They partied all night…but an unexpected thing happened…
YH: Hye Jin(notices she's not feeling well)
HJ: (tries to look okay) it's cold, right?
YH: do you want to go inside? You might catch a cold?
HJ: alright…
She stood up then fell like a doll… everyone was startled.. Yunho was shocked and carried her to the hospital. He carried her on his back and ran as fast as he could. He didn't think about getting his car keys nor a cab. All he could think of is he has to get her to the hospital.

YH: hang in there HJ. I won't let anything bad happen to you. I can't lose you… you're the only one I have! (tears running down his face)

Yunho waited outside her room while his heart is really aching…then came out the doctor.
D: her condition has gotten worse… she's in a lot of stress lately… Has she been tiring her self?
YH: what are you saying? I don't understand…
D: she has Leukemia. Don't you know that?
(YH was really shocked…)
In the room… looking really sick… she was worried about YH finding out about her condition… everything will be ruined now. Then came YH.

YH: Oh! You're awake…(tries to hide the pain).. the doctor said you were just stressed out… you'll be fine soon.
HJ: *thinking* what?! Could it be that he didn't know?*end*
Oh…yeah! Sorry I had to ruin the night…thanks for bringing me here…
YH: (looks straight into her eyes) don't scare me like that again, Hye Jin… I don't know what I would do without you…

Everything went back to normal.. but HJ keeps on noticing something different about YH..She tries to ignore it however, one day…
(at school, YH notices HJ is looking very ill but cannot tell her so instead…)

YH: why are you sad?is there something wrong? It makes me sad, too…
HJ: why are you always comforting me?
YH: is it wrong?
HJ: no! but the YH I know will not always comfort me but will usually tell me to fight…to have courage…because if i fall he will catch me…
(Yunho was shocked but tried not to show it…)
YH: what are you saying?
HJ: tell me… what do you always call me?
YH: Hye Jin…
HJ: Stupid! You're not Yunho-sshi…you're lying!
(YH got pissed and tells her what's troubling him instead)
YH: Lying?! What about you?! You're sick and you're not telling me?! Who's the one lying now?
HJ: aaaa… I don't know what you're talking about!
YH: huh! You don't know? Look at you! You look like a zombie! You're so pale! You're seriously ill and you didn't tell me! How lame is that?
HJ: (cries) I am not sick!
YH: not?! You almost died a week ago(birthday) and you're not sick?!
HJ: Yunho-sshi will never say I'm sick… He will always say I look better everyday…
YH: Yunho-shi…Yunho-sshi! Don't you think people change?!
HJ: (stood up…) You know, the more I get to know you, the more you become a stranger to me, Yunho-sshi…

She left and for days they never talked…

***scene end***

That's how we got separated again… I couldn't take it..he's not the man I loved before… It's like a new person.. What happened to him? Was the new heart he got causing this? What's wrong with him? Is he still the man I want to share my life with, the one I'd die with? My heart is aching more than my body…I want a new heart…It's been days now but it doesn't get any better… I feel like I can't go on anymore…If I will never see the YH I loved, then I might as well die…

***scene start***

Mom: HJ, eat… you haven't eaten a lot in days… you need to regain your strength.. I'm so worried.
HJ: (looks very ill…) I'm not hung… *coughs* (her handkerchief's filled with blood but didn't show her mom)
Mom, when I die, will you donate my heart?
Mom: (cries) what? You're not gonna die…
HJ: (smiles) of course… I won't… I will always be beside you.

Then, she just collapsed…
Yunho was in the heart clinic… talking to the doctor when he received a call from HJ's mom…

Doctor: I'm sorry… we need a new heart for you… it's not compatible…if we don't find a compatible one, your condition will get worse.
YH: I can't give up this heart. It belonged to the person I love the most. I can't let you take the only thing that's left…
*ring*
D: let's talk some other time.
YH: (on the phone)… what?! I'm on my way…
YH ran to the hospital where HJ was brought… his heart is aching but he didn't mind. All he thinks about is reaching HJ in time. He has to tell her…
In HJ's room…

YH: (enters) Hye Jin-ah!
Mom: I'll let you talk…(leaves the room)
HJ: (smiled) hi…
YH: are you okay? How are you? I told you not to stay out at night…
HJ: I am fine…I'm sorry…
YH: (teary) no! I am sorry…
YH tries to enter the clear curtain covering HJ to protect her from germs…bacteria… (to quarrantine her) but…
HJ: you can't enter…(cries)
YH: what? You're not sick…get out of there, now…
HJ: so you're Yunho-sshi, after all…
YH: no I'm not… I'm not the YH you know, HJ. (cries) Hye Jin-ah… you're the most important person for me… you're the only one I have and I can't lose you that's why if this will take you away from me then I have to stop it…
HJ: what are you saying?
YH: My name is Jung Yun Hae.. Yunho-sshi is my twin brother…
HJ: (shocked…) what?
YH: Hyung…he…passed away years ago… that's why he stopped coming to the hospital..but before he went away he called me on the phone… I was in America getting the proper treatment…we both have a weak heart but mine is weaker and my parents can afford to send only one at a time so he said I should go…

HJ cries so hard and covers her mouth while shaking…

YH: he would always tell us he's not sick… that he's strong but I know deep inside he's aching and scared…when he called me, I couldn't understand much what he's saying… he's running out of breath all I could understand was…

***reminisce call***
(Throughout the conversation, YH catches his breath…)
Yunho: Yunhae…be strong…hyung will always be beside you…when you get strong.. come back here…I might not be here but…
Yunhae: Hyung! What are you saying?
Yunho: there's someone ...i want you to take care of…promise me you'll take care of her…
Yunhae: Hyung!
Yunho: promise me please…(deep breath)
Yunhae: promise..
Yunho: I love her and I don't want anything bad to happen to her…I'm sorry I wasn't able to see her get well… Tell her that… but tell her as me.. I can't let her know…
Yunhae: Hyung I don't understand… hang in there… we'll get through this…
Yunho: ani (No)…my time is up… I'm just glad you'll be alright…take care of umma(mother) and appa(father)(you can hear people crying on the phone…)…I leave everything to you…hwait…(was supposed to say hwaiting but he passed away)
Yunhae: HYUNG! HYUNG! (cries so hard…)

***end of reminisce call***
Yunhae cries so hard and fell down on his knees…

YH: I couldn't do anything to save him… if he went to America instead of me… he would be alive now… I blamed myself so I told them, they have to give me his heart… I wouldn't accept any heart and so they did but now the doctor said they need to be replaced… I'm scared…. I can't lose Yunho's heart… it's all that's left… Since he died, I told myself… I will become him and fulfill his dreams but…
HJ: how can you do that if you die?
YH: Hye Jin…
HJ: Yunhae-sshi… please take me to Yunho's grave…I want to see him…

Yunhae didn't hesitate at all… he sneaked her out of the hospital and took her to Yunho's grave. Yunho's grave is located on top of a hill. They're parents picked the location because for them Yunho is now on the top of the world. The cab can't reach the top so he had to carry her on his back to the top. He's exhausted and his heart is literally aching but he didn't care… When they reached the top…

(brought her down…)
HJ: (looks very ill and has a hard time speaking…she's catching her breath)
Bambi…(looked at YH and smiled) that's what he would always call me…he said I have thin arms and a cute face like bambi..
(looks back at Yunho's grave) I never told him my dream…It's to become his wife…he was the only one who gave me hope. I
hated my life before… when I learned I was sick I just hated everything…but then he made me like living…(teary) It's not how long you lived but how you lived your life…he taught me that.
YH: mianne(sorry)…
HJ: (dying voice) don't be sorry… he wanted this…You know,(lied on his shoulder) it's not true that when you change your heart there will be nothing left…the memories you shared will forever be alive as long as you don't forget them… that's how LOVE IS.
YH: you're right…(kissed her on the head…)
HJ: I always wanted to tell him this… (closed her eyes….looks really tired..) Saranghae (a tear fell)
Yunhae just closed his eyes…looked up, felt the wind blowing and smiled.

Years later…
YH: (looking down on to graves)How are you guys doing? I'm TVXQ's leader now. Thanks to both of you I'm stronger now. Hye Jin-shi, thanks for the heart…. I'm taking good care of it.. We all beat as one now…(smiles)
Jaejoong: Yunho-sshi! Let's go!

***scene end***

Title: Like A Man

One quiet day…

“OMO! OMO! Ah~” Shout all the girls…running to the main gate

Yun Ho and Jae Joong is the only one walking there

“Yah! Jae Joong-ah. They’re running to us! Control. Be manly!”

Jae Joong and Yun Ho walk like a model. Then as the girls are coming closer, the girls just bump on them and run further

“Ah! What is this? What is this?” Ask the both of them as they’re bump by all the girls

Then they turn around and look behind. They found the most popular guys in their school walking in. They have Korean names, but they just want to be known with their english name, from Yoo Chun to Micky, from Chang Min to Max, From Jun Su to Xiah

“Yah, I thought it’s us! But it’s them. Let’s just walk. I’m embarrassing me” Said Jae Joong

One day

That day, because Yun Ho didn’t come out after 10 minutes, Jae Joong thought he will just wait him at the school. If someone arrive late at school, they’ll be punished. Jae Joong is still waiting for Yun Ho. After Yun Ho come.

They’re asked kneel down and put their hands up in the air.

“Jung Yunho-sshi, again. Do you know that I’m bored looking at your face!”

“Eh? Then, release me And Jae Joong so that you won’t be bored” Said Yun Ho

The teacher quickly hit Yun Ho’s head with his file he’s holding

“Kim Jae Joong-sshi. I saw you waiting outside. Why don’t you enter and make yourself punished. Did you wait for him? I’ve never seen you and Yun Ho been apart. Are you two gay or something” Ask the teacher

“You thought us in social subjects. Friends don’t leave friends. We have to go to P.E. class” Answer Jae Joong

After the P.E. class>in the locker room

Yun Ho is changing his clothes. His locker is right beside Jae Joong’s. Yun Ho opens his locker

“Ah~ what a relief! I thought my daughter was lost!!! You were in the locker? Who is the bad one putting you in here?” Said Yun Ho

“Bambi! I’ll take you home okay? And bring you to school”

Suddenly Yun Ho make a worried expression

“Jae Joong-ah, umm, do you have any extra boxers?”

“I knew this would happen. Glad that I brought my boxers extra for my P.E.”

After school

The MXM are crossing the road. While Jae Joong and Jae Joong are talking and making jokes about each other while waiting for the green light for the walkers to light up. MXM which is their group name is crossing breaking the red light. Chang Min is walking behind while laughing. Suddenly Chang Min’s keychain fall on the road. He bend down to pick it up. And a car is speeding up the car is going to hit Chang Min without Chang Min realizing.

“Yah, Yun Ho, you do remember about the girl you had crush on? “ Jae Joong didn’t finish his words as Yun Ho run to cross the road

“Yah! Yun Ho!”

Chang Min is still collecting his keychain which is about 18 of them. He found 17 and he’s looking for another one. Until the car is really close to him, he was froze and didn’t know what to do until Yun Ho jump and push him

“Be careful!” Shout Yun Ho

“JUNG YUN HO!!!” Shout Jae Joong as the green light appear for the walkers

“Are you alright?” Ask Yun Ho to Chang Min

“You, You, You’ve saved my life. You saved me” Said Chang Min…

“Yeah! Do you dare witnessing a terrible accident?”

“Yah, Yun Ho! Are you alright? I thought you would die!” Said Jae Joong

“And you saved him! Wow! Yun Ho you’re a hero” Continue Jae Joong

Jae Joong pull Yun Ho

“Yah! Let’s go, you owe me Rice Cakes” Said Jae Joong

That night, Yun Ho handphone rings

“Hello?”

“Yun Ho? Jung Yun Ho? Is this Jung Yun Ho?” Ask a guy

“Yes. This is me. Who are you?”

“Micky, I just want to ask you. Would you want to join MXM?”

“Are you kidding?! Of course!”

The next day

He’s just too busy to talk to Jae Joong. He’s busy talking with the MXM. During the recess, Yun Ho is suppose to eat with Jae Joong. But he walk to the MXM. Jae Joong just sits at the MXM too. Because he thought he could.

“Yah…Why are you sitting here? This isn’t your place” Said Yun Ho

“But Yun Ho is sitting here.” Explain Jae Joong

“Yah, Yun Ho. Is he your friend?” Ask Jun Su

“No. He’s not my friend.” Said Yun Ho

“I don’t care! This is my place! There’s nothing on the seat. I can’t see your name on it” Said Jae Joong

Locker’s Room

Jae Joong wants to change his uniform to his tracksuit. Then MXM enters the locker’s room with Yun Ho. As Yun Ho opens his locker they sees the Bambi

“Yah, what’s this? Bambi? Whose bambi is this yours? Yah! It’s not manly! What type of boys keep Bambi in their locker?! Are you a girl?” Ask Chang Min

“Yeah it’s mine. But, it’s from. My fan. He’s a guy. He gave me this just takes it. But I don’t want to take it wanted to throw it away…Or give this to my sister”

Jae Joong stare at Yun Ho

“Yah! What are you looking at!” Ask Yoo Chun roughly

He remembered the day he gave Yun Ho the Bambi

-FLASHBACK-

It was when they’re 14 years old

“Yah! I bought you this Bambi. I bought it using my own money after working part time”

-END OF FLASHBACK-

The next day is Yun Ho’s birthday

“Yah, Yun Ho-ah. We’re going to celebrate your birthday at a club tomorrow night. Bring Jae Joong along okay?”

That night. Yun Ho calls Jae Joong to inform him. Jae Joong was happy to know Yun Ho still think Jae Joong is his friend

The next day>CLUB

MXM and Yun Ho are waiting for Jae Joong…Jae Joong arrives at the club while holding the cake he made for Yun Ho. Yoo Chun and Chang Min quickly get up from their sits and walk to Jae Joong. They made made Jae Joong fall without any purpose. Jae Joong falls on the floor with his face are covered by the cake…

“Yah! Look what you’ve done to my shoes. Do you have any idea how much it cost?!” Yell Jun Su

“He made my coat dirty. There’s pink icing everywhere at my coat…”

Jae Joong feels extremely embarrass. He quickly take his T-SHIRT and come closer to Chang Min and clean Chang Min’s shoes. Then Chang Min pushes Jae Joong’s hand using his legs…Yun Ho sees from afar. He wanted to get up but Yoo Chun stop him…

“Why are you going to him when you’re with us?”

“Because I’ve never been a part of you three.And he’s my friend!!”

Yun Ho quickly walk to Jae Joong who is sitting on the floor because he’s embarrass. Jae Joong is collecting the cake.And try to put it into the original size…

“Don’t okay?!” Said Yun Ho

“But…It’s your cake. I can’t just let it be on the floor.” Said Jae Joong

“You’re rich. But you seem like a beggar collecting this cake. Come on. We’ll get another cake. Let’s make sure that it’s not a pink icing because this pick icing is dirty after it has been spread at their face!” Said Yun Ho putting the cake at MXMs’ face and clothes…

Yun Ho and Jae Joong go to the Han River. They bought a new cake

“Yah, Jae Joong-ah, mianhye…Ah! Jae Joong-ah, my Bambi, did you keep it?” Ask Yun Ho

“I don’t mind. I’m not mad at all, just sad. Of course I keep Bambi. It’s your daughter. I’ve always keep it in my bag”

“Thank you. Jae Joong, by any chance, do you have my boxer? I lost on boxers.” Said Yun Ho

“Wait. Uh. 32, I’m wearing it. I’ll return it to you. Tomorrow.” Said Jae Joong after looking at his boxer.

The next day…Unbelievable things happened…The nerd in the school happened to be at the club in the previous night…And he witnessed everything! The so unmanly MXM’s attitude….The news just fly through everyone’s ears in just a few seconds…As the MXM come…Everyone stare at them weirdly…and yell at them…People are starting to praise Jae Joong and Yun Ho…

“Actually that Kim Jae Joong is kind of cute isn’t he?” Ask the most popular girl

“Yun Ho looks so manly!!!~ Looks like a true leader!!!” Continue another girl..

The whole school wasn’t satisfied with MXM…So a group of boys knock their heads and they fainted…As the MXM wakes up…they saw themselves lying on the school field…And Yoo Chun saw Yun Ho and Jae Joong coming without knowing anything…Jae Joong saw the MXM being tied up…He quickly run to help them out…

“Yah, are you okay? How can this happen..?” Ask Jae Joong

Yun Ho quickly run to Jae Joong and pull Jae Joong’s hand…

“Yah! Jae Joong-ah…How could you be nice to people who has been bad towards you?” Ask Yun Ho

The MXM finally realize the whole school had come that night to watch their ‘PUNISHMENT DAY’

“APOLOGIZE!!! APOLOGIZE!!!” Shout the students to MXM

“I’m sorry! I have no right to ask you to wipe my shoes! I did it on purpose! I wanted to make you embarrass! How could you live in a world like this by following every orders? I was having fun to give you orders but now…I am no longer a respected person in this school…I can no longer order you… I feel like a slave…” Said Jun Su

“I’m sorry…I was guilty…I was very happy enjoying the fun of being repected…and I made you lost your pride as a slave…” continue Chang Min…

But Yoo Chun won’t apologize…He won’t admit he was wrong…
Then….Jun Su pushes him…

“Apologize you fool! It’s our fault…!” Shout Jun Su

“I’m sorry…you know…boys have egos…I can’t really express that word clearly…” Said Yoo Chun

“Anyea that’s okay…” Said Jae Joong

“Yah! Kim Jae Joong…he made the cake you baked for me fall….it’s not fair…people like these shouldn’t be forgiven…” Said Yun Ho

“But you bought me a new one…”

-THE END-

Title: Yunho in Wonderland

Happy Birthday to you~ Happy Birthday to you!~ Happy Birthday dear Yunho!~~~~~ Happy Birthday to you!!

“Yay!!!~” everyone cheered and clapped as Yunho blew out the candles on his cake.

Yunho couldn’t remember the last time he was happier and when it came time for receiving his presents, he got even more excited when he looked at the present towered over him.

“Waaa~”

He stared at the giant white box wrapped in an equally huge green ribbon. Yoochun and Changmin appeared with a mini ladder, which elevated him just enough that he could look over the top of his huge present. He looked into the box expectantly, but all he could see on the inside was black.

“Where’s my present?” he asked but at that moment, he felt a hard push on his back and he fell head first into the dark abyss.

Free falling, he lost all sense of time as he just continued falling through the darkness. He wanted to scream but he couldn’t. He could even feel his body tense as he readied himself for the hard landing.

Then out of nowhere, a light comes on and lights up a small space below him. It was a bright white light and in the light he could see himself, sound asleep on his bed. His sleeping figure got closer and closer.

“WAH!” Yunho screamed as he sat up abruptly in his bed. He let out a sigh of relief as he realised it was just a dream. He lifted his hand to run in through his hair but it hand rubbed against something soft and –

Fluffy?

Yunho turned to his right and found a sleeping figure lying next to him completely dressed in a crisp black suit complete with coattails attached. He frowned as he bent over the figure to get a better look at his face.

“Yoochun?” he said to himself in surprise. Yoochun shifted a little at the sound of his name but was soon back to his motionless sleep next to Yunho.

Yunho turned his sights at the white ball of fluff and fur which seemed to be protruding through the back of Yoochuns pants. It looks like a tail, he thought to himself. He then proceeded to ease his finger towards it. Lightly poking it the tail twitched in retort making him pull back his finger.

“What the-” but he was cut off by a shrill ringing of an alarm clock.

Yoochun sat up as abruptly as he did and pulled out a pocket watch from his pocket (where else would he put it? -.-) Looking at the watch, slaps his hand to his face while his mouth formed a perfect ‘o’.

“AH!” Yoochun squealed in a cute nasally voice. “I’m late!”
“Yoochun ah!” Yunho called.
Yoochun got out of the bed and ran towards the door still yelling the same phrase over and over again. “I’m late! I’m late! I’m late! I’m late! I’m late!!!”
“Yah! Yoochun ah!” but Yoochun already slammed the door closed leaving an opened mouthed Yunho alone in the empty room.

What on Earth could Yoochun be late for that he isn’t? Also, did Yoochun suddenly sprout bunny ears? Yunho shook his head as he pulled the covers off him and got out of the bed. Somehow, he had this overwhelming urge to follow Yoochun, wherever he was going or to whatever he was late for.

Yunho pulled the bedroom door open and was greeted by the most astonishing sight. Speechless he just stared in silence at the super modified apartment. Modified doesn’t even begin to describe how different the apartment was the last time he saw it.

There was an infinite amount of doors all over the apartment. It was still an apartment, in away... but also in a way, it wasn’t. There were doors on the ceiling; the floor the sofas, the lamp shades and even the plasma screen of the TV was replaced by a blue door.

Okay... Yunho thought to himself. Which one of these doors did Yoochun disappear into?

Yunho pulled open a door closest to him, a door which had a candle and what seemed to be a cake etched on it. He shrugged and opened it. His mouth fell open as his eyes fell on the contents behind the door.

Thousands upon thousands of cakes slathered in bright pink icing with an equally bright pink candle stuck right in the middle of them. He shut the door immediately.

“Definitely the wrong door....”

The second door lead to a room flooded with huge bubbles and the third one had teddy bears filling it to bursting point. Yunho slammed the door shut before the mountain of bears could collapse on him. He let out an exasperated sigh. At this rate, he would never find Yoochun.

Yunho brushed off the cotton that was stuck on his shirt from the fluff room, cursing at the fluff bunny that attacked him with a hug. He sat down on the couch and leaned against a bright red door which had replaced the soft cushions of the sofa. He let out another sigh.

“OI!” came a muffled cry.

Yunho froze. A voice. He heard a voice yell-

“OI!” the muffled voice yelled again. Yunho began to look around him for the source of the voice. He must be hallucinating. Of course, he was surrounded by random doors attacked by a fluff bunny and almost squashed by a pile of soft toys, could do that to a person.

“You’re sitting on me!!!”

Yunho immediately stood up in shock. He stared at the red door that he was leaning on. “Did the door just talk to me?” he asked himself aloud. “No way....” he immediately told himself. “I’m just hearing things...”
“No, you’re not...” Yunho turned to the door and bent down on his knees to better examine the red door. “Damn, you’re heavy...”

Silence.

Did the door just call me fat? Yunho narrowed his eyes.

“What’re you looking at?” Yunho fell back in shock.

Were his eyes deceiving him? Or did he really see what he saw?

Yunho examined the doorknob, from a safe distance of course, and found that inconspicuously disguised as screws were the eyes, the knob was the nose and the mouth was a dainty little keyhole.

“What? Never seen a talking door before?” the keyhole moved in a human like way.
“Er...” Yunho didn’t know what to say. “No actually...”
“Really?” the doors tone abruptly turned from sarcasm to one of interest. Yunho nodded in response. “Well then, pleased to meet you.. Call me, Red.”
Yunho smiled. He’s never made an acquaintance with a door before.. “Pleased to meet you too...I’m Yunho...”
“Ah, Yunho-sshi!~ I would shake your hand but I would rather you not touching my nose...” Yunho stayed silent. What could he say to that?
“So, whatcha lookin’ for?”
“I’m looking for Yoochun...” he said. “Have you seen him?”
“Erm... No, I haven’t seen a Yoochun....” the door answered. “What is he?”
“Not what... Who...” Yunho corrected. “He’s dressed in a black suit, has a fluffy tail and bunny ears. Screaming ‘I’m late!’... Ring a bell?” Yunho asked hopefully.
“AH!~~~ Micky-shii~~” the door exclaimed all of a sudden.

Yunho straightened himself up. “You’ve seen him?” he asked excitedly.
“Yeah, he went through here...” Red said.
“Here? Where?” Yunho asked looking around hopefully.
“He went through me, silly...” Yunho immediately reached for the doorknob and pulled it, but the door wouldn’t budge.
“I’b locked...” Red said, his sarcastic voice returning. “You need a key...” he said as Yunho retreated his hand back.
“Oh...” he said. “But I don’t have it...”
“Then you can’t get in..” Red said simply.
Yunho felt his expectations crash like a rock into the pit of his stomach. “Is there any way I can get another key?”
“Yeah...”

Silence as Yunho waited for Red to continue.

“Well?” Yunho went as a couple minutes of silence went by.
“Well what?”

Yunho let out a deep breath. This door was really getting on his nerves.

“Where can I find it?” Yunho asked as calmly as he could.
“Oh... You can get it from the Cheshire Cat...” Red said.
Yunho stood up and brushed himself off. “Cool... Where can I find this Cheshire Cat?”
“You go down...”

All of a sudden, an open door appeared under Yunho’s feet, pulling him into the darkness. Yunho began to fall making him feel like he’s experiencing déjà vu. But the freefall didn’t last as long and he landed rather painfully, backside first onto a silver plate.

CRASH!

He could feel the ground beneath him shake at his landing and in the corner of his eye he could make out bits and pieces of what looked like cabbage fly everywhere.

A sharp pain shot up his butt. “OW!!~~~~~~~” he wailed.
“Oh, my God! They sent a live one!”
“Weee~~~~ Sushi! Sushi!”

Yunho tried to open his watering eyes and found that he didn’t land on the ground as he had previously thought. He looked around him and noticed that he was on a long rectangular table full with various kinds of food and desserts.

He looked down and noticed a silver platter dressed with cabbages and tomatoes, which were scattered in places. Then his eyes fell upon two figures standing on either side of the table holding a knife and a fork in their hands. They were eyeing him suspiciously.

They were both dressed in gothic Lolita type clothes. The shorter one was wearing a cross between a suit and a uniform while the other was wearing a black and red two piece with lots of lace. Both had extremely thick make up and eyeliner on, which made them look more scary than cute. Let’s name them Mad Hatter A and Mad Hatter B.

“Did they forget to cook it?” Mad Hatter A asked as she put on her pink bib.
“Can we eat him now?” asked the other.

Yunho immediately stood up, ignoring his aching butt. He had no intention of getting eaten. He needed to find the Cheshire Cat. But standing up didn’t make things any better than they were.

“AH! The food is running away!”
“JOONGIE!!!!”

Joongie? Yunho stopped in mid jump and stared at the girl in the skirt. Does she know Jae Joong? But Yunho had no time to think and he jumped off the table, landed with a flourish and began to run.

“JOOOONGIIEEEEEE!~~~~~~” they both screamed.

Out of nowhere, a tall dark figure appeared before Yunho, stopping him in his tracks. Yunho crashed into him hard, knocking him back off his feet and landing on the floor. Damn, how many times can a guy fall in one day?

He looked at the motionless figure under him. A fair faced, brown haired Jae Joong greeted his eyes. Jae Joong looked up at him with his bambi eyes and blinked at Yunho who was crouched above him.

“Jae Joong?” he said in surprise as he tried to stand up.

Indeed it was Jae Joong who was standing in front of him, though more scarcely dressed than usual and kicker was the black cat ears protruding from his head.

“Not you too...” Yunho whined getting off him.
“Ow....” Jae Joong wailed as he rubbed the back of his head. “What on Earth...”

Yunho saw that he was wearing nothing other than a red silk robe, which barely covered him and Yunho could just make out a hint of his Calvin Klein boxers under the short robe. And hanging on his neck by a thin silver chain, was a small key with a crown on it.

The key.

“Joongie!!! The food is running away!” the two little Mad Hatters screamed as they came running towards their direction.

Yunho turned his attention from the two sprites to Jae Joong and the key. “Sorry, Jae...” he apologised before pushing him back down, slamming Jae Joongs head into the ground and pulling the key off Jae Joong’s neck forcefully.

“AH!! THIEF!”

Yunho got up in a hurry and began to run like mad. He got the key, now he needed to put some distance between Jae Joong, the cannibalistic sprites and him. Yunho ran into the forests surrounding the area and kept running till he could run no more.

He tried to catch his breath while leaning on a tree. “I... need to....work...out...more...” Yunho told himself as he gasped for air.

Suddenly, the tree disappeared and a dark hole appeared in its place. Yunho fell in and found himself freefalling again. After a brief moments fall, he fell through another hole and landed smack bang onto the sofa, face first.

“Ow...” he said as he rubbed his nose. “What the hell is with these holes?!”

He was back in the living room, right next to the red door from before. He sat up and checked his nose. Yep, still intact though a little sore.

“Oh, you’re back!” a familiar voice exclaimed. “That was fast.... Did you get the key?”
“Yeah...” Yunho said and immediately pulled the key out of his pocket and jammed it into the keyhole. He wasn’t in the mood for chitchat.
“Mmhmmmhffhfhf...” Red mumbled.
“What was that?”
“Mmhmmmhffhfhf!!!”
“You know what....Never mind...” Yunho said and turned the key..

The door slid open with ease, revealing a green filled background. Yunho examined it cautiously. There were huge hedges that towered over his head and a weird squealing in the air. Yunho crawled through the small door and into the room behind it.

The door closed with a soft click behind him and Yunho brushed himself off and looked around. It looked like he was in some type of maze. Yunho walked forward and his ears were suddenly stimulated by a faint squealing in the air.

It sounds quite familiar. Soon the squeals were accompanied by claps and cheers. He found himself unconsciously following the sounds of the squeals and claps through the twists and turns of the maze. Slowly, the squeals became louder and Yunho could identify some other words.

“Bambaya~~”

Yunho looked up towards the sky and found that the sky was split into night and day. On one side the sun surrounded by blue skies and on the other, a full moon surrounded by dark skies littered with twinkling stars. He was right in the middle of the two. It was neither night nor day where he was standing.

“Bambayaa~~” the sound was getting louder now. Yunho grinned as he finally recalled where he heard that from.

He turned another corner and found an opening through one of the hedges on the day side of the maze about a few feet in front of him. He ran towards it and faced the strange entrance. Another strange sight greeted him.

Junsu was on a circular stage in the middle of a garden, dressed in magnificent robes and a golden grown resting on his head. And on the side, sitting on a tiny chair and cheering his ass off was Changmin, dressed in an equally beautiful dress also with a crown on his head.

“Junsu? Changmin?” the words escaped his mouth before he could think.

Almost immediately Junsu and Changmin went silent as they turned their attention to a confused looking Yunho. Changmin immediately got up, lifting his skirt he walked angrily towards Yunho.

“Who are you calling Changmin and Junsu?!” he huffed as he stomped a foot down. “And how dare you disturb the King and his practice?!”
“Err....” King?
“He is the King of Hearts!” Changmin said as he looked lovingly at Junsu who was striking a manly pose on the stage. Changmin turned back to Yunho. “And I’m his queen....The Queen of Hearts!”
“O-kay....” Yunho said. Now he was sure everyone has lost their mind. “So, have any of you seen Yooch- err.... Micky anywhere?”
“How dare you talk like that to the King?!” Changmin suddenly snapped in a girly type of way. “You commoner!~”

At that moment a pair of arms wrapped around Yunho’s waist and another pair on grabbed one of his arms.

“What the-”
“Gotcha!” yelled Mad Hatter B. “Get back your Majesty!”
“He’s a runaway thief!” yelled the one in the dress. “He’s dangerous!”
“What is the meaning of this?!” Junsu suddenly spoke up as Changmin ran into his arms.
Yunho began to struggle. “Get off me!” he yelled as he tried to wiggle out of Mad Hatter A’s grasp.

Jae Joong suddenly appeared out of nowhere and poked Yunho in the chest with a finger. “You....” he said menacingly. “Thief...” He had his ears folded back and an arm was holding a bag of ice to the back of his head.

“What do you mean he’s a thief?” Junsu asked. “What did he steal?”
“He stole my key...”Jae Joong said still glaring at Yunho. He turned around and gave a serious look to Junsu. “The key...”
“Look I just wanted to find Micky!” Yunho said as he wriggled himself out of the sprites grasps and looked pleadingly at Junsu. Hoping that maybe somehow he would take pity on him.

No such luck.

“Guards!!!” Junsu screamed.

***

Yunho glared at the jury before him and at the Junsu who was playing judge. Yes, literally playing judge. Yunho was being tried for thievery. The guards, who if he remembers right, were Kangin and Siwon dressed in card suits. Then Kangin knocked him out.

He rubbed the spot where Kangin hit him. It was still a little sore.

“I call Micky the timekeeper to the stand....” echoed a weird voice from nowhere.

Yunho’s head lifts up and he sees Yoochun walking up to the witness stand. Right then he was a little pissed at him. If it wasn’t for Yoochun and that fluffy tail of his he wouldn’t be in this mess. He glared at the little white bunny tail before it disappeared behind the stand.

“Do you know this man?” Junsu asked.
Yoochun nodded and answered. “Yes, I know him. I slept with him....”

The room immediately filled with gasps and cries of outrage. Yunho rolled his eyes.

“Excuse me?” Junsu asked again.
“Nothing like that! I just slept next to him...” Yoochuns voice trailed away.
“And how may I ask did you end up sleeping next to him?”

Yoochun was silent for a moment. Yunho felt like he could’ve just gone and smacked Yoochun right there and then.

“I don’t know....” Yoochun answered in a bewildered voice, as if he couldn’t believe that he himself did not know the reason.

The room filled with cries of surprise again and Yunho let out a sigh. This whole thing is going nowhere fast.

“I call the Cheshire cat to the stand,” the weird voice echoed again.
“Okay... I might be wrong..” Yunho mumbled to himself.

Jae Joong slinked into the witness stand and for the first time, Yunho noticed a long black tail flip around cheekily after Jae Joong. He raised an eyebrow. Jae Joong looked good with a tail.

“Did this man physically assault you?”
“Yes...” Jae Joong nodded. “He hit me on the head and stole my key...”
“And what key was that?”
“He stole ‘The Key’...”Jae Joong answered.

Yunho frowned. He said he was sorry. Loads of times, in fact. He recalled his many apologies in the spade shaped cell he was kept in.

The trial has been going on for hours now and it was time for the jury to reach a verdict. By the looks of things, he’s not going to get off easy.

The question wasn’t whether he was guilty or not. He was guilty, there’s no doubt about that. The question was, what were they going to do to him once they did reach a verdict?

And all a sudden, the one of the jury stands up. Yunho takes a deep breath and holds it as the lead juror announces. “We find the defendant guilty of theft, assault and on the charge of sexually engaging a minor...” The juror looks at Yoochun, who was seated on the far side of the room pitifully before he returned to his seat.

Junsu looks at Yunho and says. “Jung Yunho, I hereby sentence you to death by cuteness...”

Yunho looked up confused. What kind of sentence is death by cuteness? He shrugged. That doesn’t sound so bad.

“You will be subjected to fatal amounts of cuteness until you die...” Junsu said and slammed the hammer down. “The court is adjourned....”
“Kyaa~~ You’re so cool, your Majesty~~” Changmin cooed lovingly to Junsu.

Kangin and Siwon appeared again and grabbed him by the arms. It was turning out to be a hell of a day for Yunho. He was lead into a dark room and thrown inside. As the door closed behind him, the lights suddenly came on, hurting Yunho’s eyes.

In the brightness, he could make out a small figure standing in the centre of the room. When his eyes finally adjusted to the light he found himself staring at a small mini Yoochun.

“What the....”

“Hi, I’m Micky Yoochun! Let’s play!” it said.

Yunho’s eyes widened as he realised the true implication of his sentence.

Suddenly, another figure appeared from behind the mini Yoochun. It was a mini Junsu in an angel costume.

“Eu kyang kyang!” Junsu laughed.
“You’ve got to be kidding me...” Yunho said and sat down in disbelief. This is death by cuteness?
“Hi, I’m Micky Yoochun! Let’s play!”

Yunho looked up and noticed that both the mini Yoochun and angel Junsus had multiplied themselves by 4. Yunho narrowed his eyes. Now there were 4 laughing Junsus and 4 annoying mini Yoochuns.

He shook his head. “At this rate, I’ll be annoyed to death....”
“Eu kyang kyang!”

But when he turned back to the Yoochun and Junsu. They had multiplied themselves 10 fold now and Yunho was starting to feel a little threatened. The ‘eu kyang kyang’s and ‘let’s play!’ had multiplied by 10 and chorused so loudly together that Yunho could not even hear himself think. Then, they began to multiply again by the hundreds then the thousands.

This isn’t cute... Yunho thought as he was being smothered in mini Yoochuns and angel Junsu’s. This is definitely not cute!

They soon filled the room to bursting point. It was so crowded that Yunho was gasping for air. He couldn’t breath. He tried to but it was so hard, he began to struggle. He moved his body furiously to try and get to the surface. He moved and thrashed until-

BUMP!

“WARRGGHHH~~~~”
“Yunho! Yunho! Wake up Yunho!”

Yunho snapped his eyes open. He found himself staring up a worried looking Yoochun.
It was a dream?

“Are you okay?” Yoochun asked. He was dressed in a t-shirt and his usual pajama pants. No suit. Yunho let out a sigh of relief. “Were you having a nightmare?”
Yunho sat up and rubbed the back of his head. “Yeah... I was having a nightmare...”
“You okay?” Yoochun asked again.
“Yeah... I’ll be fine...” Yunho answered. He was extremely relieved that it was just a dream. “What?”
“Huh.... Oh, nothing...”
“I’ll get you a glass of water...” Yoochun said and got up. “Just take it easy...”
“Yeah....Okay, thanks....”

Yoochun turned around and headed for the door. Yunho’s eyes widened. Right there, snuggled rather comfortably on Yoochuns backside was a fluffy white bunny tail.

Title: The Case of the Misfortunate Cake
A/N: Story is told in Jaejoongs POV

The day started out quite nicely. We had practice this morning, but other than that, we didn’t really have anything scheduled for the day. So, we decided stay inside and rest. I just finished washing the dishes and walked into the living room. Junsu was standing there, hand over his heart.

“I’m very good at Mario Karts!!” He proclaimed, and sighed dramatically. I saw Changmin shake his head, while Yunho rolled his eyes. “Oh, really?” It seemed like Yunho was making fun of Junsu.

Yoochun, however, grinned. “Alright, let’s prove that.” He turned to Yunho. “Since you’re the birthday boy, I bet you $500 dollars, that you can’t beat Junsu at Mario Karts.” Yunho, being manly and proud and extremely competitive, quickly agreed and Junsu started the game.

Changmin, who was watching in the background, turned to Yoochun. “Why are you betting in dollars?” Yoochun blushed slightly. “Because the Won dropped and...” Changmin rolled his eyes at his friend who thinks too much about the stock market and currency value. He walked towards the kitchen to get something to eat. Brunch was 2 hours ago.

A few minutes later, the living room was filled with yells and cheering. I decided to take a look. I caught a glimpse of Yunho dramatically slamming his car into Junsu’s and yelling “GOTCHA!!!” He was right at the finish line, and so, he won, making Yoochun lose his bet.

Yunho tossed the controller aside and started dancing. “I WON!! I WON!!! JAE GUESS WHAT!!” He hugged me and spun me around. “YOOCHUN OWES ME $500 DOLLARS!!!” He sighed,
"ah, I really am great at everything." I looked over at Yoochun, his head hung low. I smiled at Yunho and congratulated him. He then ran to Junsu, and started boasting.

The doorbell rang and I went to answer it. Everyone else was busy. Junsu demanding a rematch, Yoochun accusing Junsu of cheating, Yunho still boasting... and Changmin shaking his head as he finished his sandwich in three bites.

A delivery man with a large box in his hands was standing at the door. “Delivery for Jung Yunho-sshi".

I took the box with a smile, signed, and said goodbye. I went into the kitchen, and placed the box on the counter. Not long after, four curious eyes were staring over my back. “IT HAS MY NAME ON IT!!” Yunho yelled, as he shoved me out of the way, and opened the box.

It turned out to be a large chocolate cake, with red and white icing. It said, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUNHO OPPA!!! HWAITING!!” All members got jealous. It was from Cassiopeia. Yunho smiled gently, and stared at it. It was very obvious that he wanted to eat it. The look in his eyes, licking his lips and smelling it.

Changmin stomped his foot and whined. “Can we eat it now??” The rest of us nodded in agreement. Yunho, however, shook his head. “No!! This is my cake and I’m going to eat it tomorrow!!”

He then promptly closed the box, and placed it into the fridge. “If anyone touches it, I’ll break their back!!” I saw the chestfallen looks on the three faces, and I sighed. “Come on, Yunho!”

Yunho was stubborn. “No, tomorrow. And because you did that, I’ll eat it ALL BY MYSELF!!” I also saw the shocked expression on Changmin’s face, and I winced. Denying Changmin food is not a clever idea.




Later that night, I was lying in bed. I couldn’t sleep. He didn’t want to share the cake... Not even with ME!!! Not that I like sweets, but that was beside the point!! I'm his best friend!! And doesn't Cassieopia refer to us as YunJae? JaeHo?!!! I bet they wouldnt mind.

The stupid cake kept haunting my mind, in all it’s chocolaty glory. I growled and got up. I had to do something! Then, I suddenly had an idea. If Yunho’s name was on it, and he was going to eat it by himself... maybe if my name was on it, maybe he would share! I quickly ran into the kitchen, and got out the things I needed for my plan. I made red icing, and decided to write my name.

“Hyung... what are you doing?” I looked up to see Changmin staring at me.

“Yunho hyung is going to kill you... can I eat it?”

I slapped his hand away and threatened to upload a picture of him taking a dump online. Thank God for my camera and weird picture-taking habits. He quickly retreated his hand, and pouted. “Now... wanna help me?” I told him about my plan, and he grinned.

“What are you guys doing?” Junsu appeared. His eyes widened when he saw the cake. “NO WAY!!! I’m telling Yunho hyung!!”

Changmin was quicker than me, threatening to punch him 'accidentally' in his sleep. Junsu, knowing Changmin's strange sleeping disorders, got scared. So, I decided to tell him my plan. He soon forgot about Changmin’s threat, and grinned. And so, the plan began! There wasn’t alot of space left on the cake, thanks to the fans writing Yunho's name in large letters. So, we had to write our names... in icing... very small.

“Hyung, write my name first!”

“Hyung, my name starts with a J!!”

“Hyung, just let me do it!”

Changmin and Junsu grabbed my hand, each wanting to write their names first like little children. The icing went all over the cake, even striking out Yunho’s name. Silence fell as we looked at the mess they have made. I scolded them, and tried to fix it.

“Whoa, you’re not doing what I think you’re doing! Yunho hyung is going to kill you guys!”

Yoochun had entered the kitchen. Junsu went over and whispered something in Yoochun’s ear, making him smile. “Okay, I’m in!” And so, we all tried to fix the cake, but somehow, the red and white icing mixed together and turned to pink icing. So much for fixing it.

Just then, we heard the sound of the toilet flush, a bathroom door opening, and feet pats walking to the kitchen. Junsu's mouth formed into an 'O'

Oh no, Yunho!!! I quickly closed the box, put the cake back inside and shoved it into the fridge when Yunho appeared... wearing bright pink boxers.

Changmin and Junsu started giggling, while Yoochun gaped. “Hey... THOSE BOXERS ARE MINE!!!” I couldn’t help but smile a little. Yunho blushed, and shook his head. “I found them in Jae’s dresser!”

I frowned "why did you go for my boxers?"

“I let Jaejoong hyung borrow them a few weeks ago! I never got them back!”

I felt really guilty.

“Anyway, what are you guys doing here? We have to get up really early tomorrow.” Yunho quickly changed the subject. Yoochun, however, kept mourning his pink boxers, making Yunho throw his stuffed Bambi at him.

I looked at Changmin and Junsu, hoping they had thought of something. But, they stayed quiet. Then Yunho noticed the icing on the table. “Hey... WERE YOU DOING SOMETHING TO MY CAKE??” He yelled, and ran to the fridge, opened it and got out the box that contained his cake. He opened it, and stared. His stare turned into a glare, and he slammed the box on the table. “WHO DID THIS??” He yelled.

Changmin was the first to break. “JAEJOONG HYUNG MADE ME DO IT!! He said that he’d upload a picture of me online if I didn’t help him!!”

Junsu decided to speak. “Changmin said he’d punch me in our sleep if I didn’t help them!!”

Yoochun just sighed. “Man... you’re wearing my boxers... AND I OWE YOU $500 DOLLARS!!”

Yunho was glaring at me, so I looked away. “I just wanted you to share... so I decided to write my name on it.” Yeah, I admit it. I was jealous at a cake.

And thus, I had to bake another cake, while Yunho stood over me with a spatula in his hands.

Title: Love Forever

Hello everyone! My name is Bernadette, and this is my story.

It all started when I was in 6th grade. I became a fan of some Korean pop start artists and I
always listen to their songs with my mp3. At that time, we still didn’t have cable. I just knew some
Korean artists like BoA, Rain, and Jjang Nara. I knew them because I saw them in some Korean dramas
I used to watch that time. Also, I search their songs in the internet and I listen to their songs all the
time. Whenever I go to school, I always bring my mp3 player and I will listen to them then my
classmates would say, “There you go again Bernadette! Aren’t you tired of listening to those songs?”
Then I would say, “Why should I? I enjoy listening on them so I will listen to them as long as I want.
Anything wrong with that huh?” Then, inside my classroom, I really keep on singing BoA’s songs then
I will study Korean language until the time that I am used in speaking it. After several months, my
graduation day came and I was so excited that day because I am now going to enter high school!
That’s the happiest day for me because after our graduation ceremony, when we arrived home, I really
jumped high because we already have cable!! I really cried because of happiness. Then, I started
scanning all the channels until I reach the channel of “Arirang TV”. I can still remember that day, the
program was “Pops in Seoul”! Then I saw BoA’s song “Key of Heart”. And I really said to myself that,
“wow! I want to be like her.” Then, I still watching the show until I saw this boy group named TVXQ
singing “Hug”. I was really attracted with their charming faces and cute voices. After watching pops in
seoul, I started looking for their profiles in the internet and I started joining fan clubs, forums and so
on. Some forums I joined were CSSPF, Yunho-sshi, DBSK production, Cass Philippines and etc. I
promised myself that I will be a loyal and true cassipeia. So, I started idolizing TVXQ especially Yunho
oppa and jae-joong oppa. I collected all their pictures and I always goggle for the latest news,
checking their schedules and TV appearances. TVXQ really changed my life especially yunho oppa’s
sweet and inspiring messages to all their fans all over the world. Each day, I always listen to their
songs and I even searched for their song lyrics, music videos and memorize them all. After few
months of vacation, my high school life has begun. Everything was so different for me. The
classrooms, the students, the teachers… But then, is till remind myself that like what yunho oppa have
said, “Life has to go on. Everything will be fine. All we have to do is to pursue what we want to
achieve. What we want to reach.” So, I followed it and all things went good. Until, I met this guy
named Jake who is so stubborn and he keeps on bullying all the girls inside our room. Even thogu, he
is like that, he was our school’s campus heart throb. I admit, I have a total crush on him too since our
first day of school. He started bullying me when I had an argument with him during our free time. At
first, I really know that he would bully me after what I had done to him. But, those things ended up
loving. He started courting me in the middle of our school days and we are totally together during
junsu oppa’s birthday. So, we dated for almost 3 months. It all went good until the time he visited our
house. I forgot to tell him that I was a big fan of a boy group. He really got mad at me because he
doesn’t want me to have other crushes besides him. Because of his attitude, we broke up. I really felt
sad at first, but, I realized that if a guy really loves me, he would accept everything about me. So, I
remain loveless but then, I am not that sad because TVXQ always makes my day. Their smiles, their
songs really make me feel relaxed. So, January came and everyone’s excited about jae-joong’s
birthday bash! In every forums, there are birthday projects for them. It can be in a form og a message,
a gift or a video. Everyone even I participated in those projects. Many people give jae joong a gift.
Then, days passed by and its yunho’s birthday. Whenever its yunho’s birthday, there is a big project at
yunho-sshi. There were projects like you need to send a picture of yourself together with a piece of
cake and a pink icing on it. I even think that maybe, when yunho oppa received those pictures, he was
crying because he keeps on laughing. Days have passed and TVXQ’s popularity grew even bigger.
They have released their new album which portrays more manly side of TVXQ which was also sold out
of the music market. Also, when I was using my internet, I saw one picture of them wearing bambi
costume. I think that was a pajama or something. Then, I also saw a picture of them wearing boxers
on the pool then my cousin saw me and she said, “Gotcha! Auntie! Berna’s looking at those boys
wearing boxers!!”. Them my mom yelled at me but then she stopped when she saw that it was TVXQ.
Well, for me, TVXQ is part of my daily life and it can never be taken away from me. I really wanted to
see TVXQ so badly that I really promised myself that I will search for jobs in Korea in order to see
them. So I finished studying high school, I finished my college with a masteral degree of computer
science. So, I decided to go to Korea and work there. When I was about to leave, my parents really felt
sad. I knew it would be hard to say good-bye for the mean time so I told them that I will return and I
will be just fine. So, I left Philippines and flew to Korea. When I arrived there, I felt nervous because I
am a foreigner in Korea. I might look odd to them. But I just think of it. I stayed at my aunt’s house in
Korea. My aunt is back in Philippines and she asked me to take care of her house. Everything was
different inside the house. So, all I have to do is to fix the place “MY WAY”. Well, I am working at E-
games Korea as an animator. I met my 2 friends Mi-young and Sun-mi. They were also a graphics
animator like me. And, also, a fellow “CASSIOPEIAN”. During our working days, we concentrate on our
works. But, during our break times… we always get wild because of TVXQ! We talk about news,
rumors, dramas and even we compare our ages with them! Well, among the three of us, I was the
youngest. At that time, I was 20 years old. And I have a 8 year gap between TVXQ. But then, even ate
their age (28 yrs old) still, they were the hottest group ever! My friends and I often go to their
concerts, fan meetings, and watch live in TV appearances. We are really that close to each other. But
then, it started to get lost of track when the three of decided to audition at SM entertainment. At first,
I really don’t want to join their plan. But, they told me that we are just doing it for fun so I joined.
When I was about to perform, I really feel nervous. My hands were shaking. My body is shimmering.
But, when I enter the room, I really felt nothing. I just dance, sing and speak some closing remarks. So,
when me and my friends left the studio, things went back to normal. We wake up early in the morning,
go to office, chat about TVXQ then go out and then go home. We really forget what happened during
the audition day. A week had passed. I was really surprised when SM Entertainment called into my
office. They told me that I passed their audition. My friends saw the result and I was the only one who
passed. They started avoiding me. But then, they realize, even though they do that, still nothing will
happen. So we became friends again and as usual, I have to resign in my job for me to be able to
attend my training. When I arrive at SM’s building, I was really amazed of how big it was. There we’re
many rooms inside the building and it was really fantastic there. In my first day, I started with my
dance training. We were 5 girls and 5 boys. Our practices and training starts from 8 am until 8 noon. I
have to show that I am really determined that I want to be a star. So I really practice hard. And then, I
finished my training in just 1 week. Then I attended singing training. I also finished it for 1 week so
SM put me in a girl group name “JEWELS” we are five girl group. We debuted at 26th of December
(Junsu’s birthday) so we had a double celebration. I was really busy those times. We have recordings
here, mv shooting there, tv appearances here. Our schedule was really tight. We even don’t have time
to rest even a bit. But we enjoy giving people happiness. But one day, we had a TV appearance with
TVXQ. I was really excited about it so I really fixed myself really nice. On the set, the emcee asked us
about our past love. Each of us told our own story. Then, the emcee asked all of us if we have a crush
in showbiz or non showbiz. They confessed the name of their crushes. Then, when it was yunho’s turn,
I was really shocked when he said that he likes me. He said that I am kind, helpful, god fearing. And
he said I was the nicest person he was ever met. I thought he was just joking because I wasn’t
listening at the others so I also said I had a crush on him but I didn’t explain why I had a crush on him.
But, what he had just said was all true. He started courting me after our appearance. Then, we were
officially dating after 1 month. Our relationship wasn’t really revealed in the public. We just acted
normally. Our relationship really work but something bad happened when my ex-boyfriend Jake (my
high school boyfriend) came to Korea and asked me if we can still be together. I really don’t know
what to do so I just said that I had another guy in my life and I am happy with him. I thought he would
understand what I have said. But, as he knew that I was a star and yunho and I are dating, he spread
this news all over the country even in the whole world. Many fans were really shocked about it. So I
tried to Jake. I really cried in front of him. When he saw me crying, he realized that I really like Yunho
so much so he stopped his bad rumors about us and our problem was fixed. Years have passed and
my group and yunho’s group were on the TOP charts. We really had a great competition. People also
accepted my relationship with yunho. Everything was really in good terms. Febuary came and yunho is
going to celebrate his birthday. I told our manager that we are going to Philippines to rest. But my
plan is that we celebrate yunho’s birthday there. When we arrive home, my mom hugged me so tight
and she knows that yunho was my boyfriend so she accepted him in our house and in our family. After
introducing yunho to my parents, I brought him in Mall of Asia. There, I invited all Filipino fans of
TVXQ and yunho. We really had a great time. They give yunho gifts like boxers, pink icing cake,
gloves, scarf and so on. Then, yunho gave them a warm thank you message. That day was really
amazing. When the sunrise was about to go, I brought him in Bay walk. We sit beside the sea shore.
Yunho and I were talking about experiences in life. How hard is life. How hard is to be alone. But I was
surprise when he told me these words, “I want to be with you. Can I be yours, forever?” I know it was
so surprising but I just totally said, “Yes! Yes I want to be with you. Forever!” then, we got married in
Korea and in Philippines. And like fairytales, we live happily ever after.

Title: The Moment of Love (another yunjae's fanfic)

Yunho and Sunye were friends since they were small. They attended the same elementary school, high school and also the same university. Besides, they shared the same interest; Taekwondo. Both of them had gained 5 dans in Taekwondo. It was during their last year in university, a model-look-alike student joined the class. He name was Jay. Many of the girls including Sunye were jealous of him for his flawless and fair skin. However, Jay was not well-received by them except Yunho, the class rep. He was the first person who greeted him and guided him in the university.

Miss Gloria, the lecturer had involved in an accident and Eugene replaced her for the class. Eugene was chosen because she was one of the most talented designers in Seoul. She agreed because she wanted to help her god sister. Yunho was attracted to Eugene’s personality. She fulfilled Yunho’s ideal girl characteristics and she was his first crush.

One day, Jay was beaten up by a group of gangster. Luckily, both Yunho and Sunye saw the incident. They helped him to beat the gangster up. The gangster ran away but they reminded him to pay the debts. Jay thanked them but he didn’t tell them everything. Because of this, the three of them had become best friends. However, Jay didn’t dare to tell them about himself because he was scared that they might mind about him.

Two months later, Yunho spotted Jay wandering in the street at midnight. He called Jay but Jay ignored him. Yunho invited him to sleep over his place. Jay had to agree to it because he had no where else to stay.

“I’m disappointed with you, Jay. I thought we were best friends but you never told us your problems. A friend in need is a friend indeed”

Jay felt hesitated to tell him at first but soon he gave up.

“Actually.. I have no money to pay for my rental.. So, the owner chased me out.. I thought to stay at a sauna but I really don’t have money.. All of my salary had given to my parents to pay for their debt..”

“You should tell us earlier, we could help you, Jae.. You can stay at my place until whenever you want. After all, I just stay alone..”

“But..”

“If you feel reluctant, you can help me to clean the house, do the laundries, dishes and etc..”

“I.. really appreciate it.. Thank you, Yunho!!”

“It’s okay to show our weakness to our best friends.. You must remember to tell us whenever you have got problem, ok?”

“I know.. Wow, this deer doll looks kinda cute.. Is this yours, Yunho?”

“Haha.. It’s called Bambi!!”

“I didn’t expect you to play dolls since you are so manly at the outside..”

“No, it actually has a real deep meaning for me.”

On the following day;

“What do you think about Miss Eugene, Yunho?”

“Why, Sunye?”

“You seem to really like her..”

“No..”

“You don’t try to fool me.. We’ve been friends for 14 years.. I think I could understand you better than anyone else”

“You are indeed the Sunye that I know.. Actually, she’s gorgeous!”

“I only want to remind you that Miss Eugene has been engaged. I hope you will act wisely”

“I know..”

Eugene was walking on the street one fine day. Suddenly, two motorcyclists approached her and grabbed her handbag.

“HELP!!”

Coincidentally, Yunho was nearby and heard Eugene shouted for help. He quickly ran towards her. One of the robbers tried to stab Eugene with a knife but Yunho pushed her away. While they were struggling, Yunho’s face had been scratch by the knife. Luckily, there were policemen coming and the robbers immediately ran away. Yunho was rushed to the hospital, and so did Jay and Sunye as soon as they were informed.

“You shouldn’t have fight with them, Yunho..”

“I’m okay. As long as I can protect song-saeng-nim..”

After two weeks, Yunho was discharged from the hospital. Sunye decided to bake a cake to welcome him back. She forgot to buy pink icing and coincidentally, Jay had bought it.

“I know Yunho will like the pink icing”, says Jay.

“You are so thoughtful!”

They held a small party at Yunho’s house. Eugene brought his fiancée, Gang Kook. Yunho’s heart was just like being shot by a gun when he saw them.

“Thanks for saving Eugene. I would like to apologize because you are admitted to the hospital because of her.” Gang Kook said.

“Oh, it’s actually nothing”

“Yeah Yunho, I would like to thank you for once again..”

After the party had ended, Yunho hid himself in his rooms. Jay knew there was something wrong with Yunho. He looked miserable for the whole night although he tried to smile in front of them. Looking Yunho being miserable, Jay could feel his heart ache without knowing the reasons. He knocked the door but Yunho didn’t respond him. Thus, Jay automatically opened the door himself.

“Yunho, what’s the matter?”

Yunho kept silent while sitting at the corner of the room. He had just had his shower and he was just wearing his boxer.

“Tell me if there is anything wrong. Perhaps I could help you or we can share it together. You are the one who taught me to share our problems with best friends and it’s okay to show our weakness in front of them.. Don’t you remember?”

“Actually, I lo-..”

“Never mind.. You can lean against my shoulder.. I’ll be here whenever you need me..”

Yunho hugged Jay and he cried. That was the first time that he cried in front of his friends; he never cry in front of Sunye before too. Jay was the first person who witnessed Yunho’s tears to drop from his eyes.

It was their result day. The valedictorian of the university will be announced shortly. The students were very anxious especially Yunho, Sunye and Jaejoong.

“Gotcha!”, Yunho shouted as he had gotten his result slip.

He scored 3.95! Sunye was named the valedictorian. She was like in the seventh heaven. She quickly went to hug Yunho and thanked him.

“Yunho-sshi, I think you should know my feelings for you for all this time..”

“Sunye-ah, actually I only treat you as my own sister.. Furthermore, I’m not ready to be in a relationship..”

“It’s okay. I have guess to receive this answer.. But, I will be always there for you..”

Jay heard the conversation. On the night, he asked Yunho out for a drink.

“Jay, why do you drink too much? Let me send you home”

“Actually, I..”

“What’s wrong?”

“Actually, I had try to forget you in my memory and just treat you as my best friend.. But, I couldn’t do this, because I… I really love you..”

Yunho was shocked to hear Jaejoong’s confession. He remind back of how he met Jay at first. He felt pity to him at first, then the feelings changed to best friend; caring and finally had changed to more than just friends. Jay was always there for Yunho when he had problems for these few months and they had shared their laughter and sadness together.

He grabbed Jay’s hands and ran out of the bar. They ran to Han River. While they were running, they felt the freedom that they had ever felt before. The choice that they had made might be discriminated by others, but they would not care but just run to Han River.

After some time, Sunye had found out about them. She was so shocked because she was lost to Jay! She couldn’t believe it and she wanted to confront them. She had called them to meet at Finnz Café. Both Yunho and Jay had agreed not to care on how other people will look at them. They will be blissful and happy as they were together.
Yunho was late. Jay and Sunye had arrived but they were like total strangers; no conversation at all although they were once the best of friends. They waited at the outside of the café until Yunho arrived.

After twenty minutes, Yunho arrived. He was so happy to see Jay and crossed the road. All of a sudden, a truck was speeding towards him. Both Jay and Sunye saw the truck coming but Sunye was so shocked. Her legs were to weak to support her and she had fallen down. Jay immediately rushed to Yunho and pushed him away.

“It had been two months since the incident, right?” Sunye said to Yunho.

“Oh yeah, time really flies so fast.. I would not forget the seven days shared with him in my whole life.”

“I’m glad that you could overcome this and managed to find a job at Ginnie, the largest designer company in Seoul”

“Well, it was Jay’s last wish for me to live happily. I will try not to disappoint him”

“Actually, I come to bid a farewell with you.. Elise had accepted me in Paris so I’ll be heading to the airport after this.”

“Oh, I see.. Congrats!”

“Besides that, I also have something to tell you. I have thought throughout in these two months. I had always thought that you were the sunshine in my life; you were the person that I loved the most and I would scarify anything for you.. But, I was wrong.. I wouldn’t be able to replace Jay’s place in your heart.. I’m not that big hearted actually. Because of the incident, only I realized that Jay was the one who loved you the most and I was only being obsessed over you..”

“Sunye-ah, you are always my best pal in my heart”

“I hope that we could be family when we meet the next time; I be your sister and you’ll always be my oppa”

“Ok, do you want me to send you to the airport?”

“It’s okay, oppa!!”

“Hmm, then.. Take care!!”

Title: SINGULARITY

Note: words written in italics are spoken in English


LEVEL 1: GRACE UNDER PRESSURE

"Let's face it. We're stuck," JunSu said.

ChangMin crossed his arms, "Come to think of it, isn't it the first time something like this had ever happened? To all of us, I mean."

"You're right," YooChun confirmed. "It's our first time," he suddenly grinned. "We should put it down in the calendar or something, just in case."

JunSu frowned, "Why does it sounds so dirty coming out of your mouth."

ChangMin snickered at that comment. "Probably because his mouth is dirty."

Just before YooChun could retaliate, JaeJoong decided to keep the situation under control. "Children, stop it. Your bickering is very distracting." He stared hard at the three youngest members, "Don't you see that your father works very hard to get us out of here?"

The reprimanded children could only smirk at that and even though JaeJoong didn't see it, he knew that YunHo was rolling his eyes. Nevertheless, the 'father' expressed his gratitude (albeit a little sarcastic), "Thank you for the kind consideration, JaeJoong-sshi."

"You are most welcome, YunHo-sshi."

Hey, JaeJoong was bored. Nothing beats boredom more than picking on his members, and Yunho was a convenient vicitim at that moment.

"Hmm ..." JunSu's eyes sparkled with a new glint. "Daddy," JunSu wailed in his 3-years-old voice, "I'm hungry." He started to tug YunHo's jacket to get some attention.

"Me too," YooChun joined in the play, with the same baby voice as JunSu. He bit his lower lip and made his voice quiver. "I don't like it here. I want to go out."

There was never a question whether or not ChangMin would join them, and as expected, the youngest decided to cast JaeJoong as the mother. "Mommy, I don't want to be here anymore. It's scaaaaaaarrrrrrry."

They have done it numerous times before, whether in public or in private. So it was easy to slip into the roles.

JaeJoong patted baby-Min's hair, "Don't fret my oh-so-lovely-and-yet-obnoxious tootsie-wootsy. Daddy is doing his best to get us out of here. Look, he's trying to push all those buttons so that the people outside could hear us. And I guess those buttons are broken, which beg the question, why do the people who own this building is such a cheapskate? If they didn't want to pay for a perfectly operational elevator, than at the very least, they should have a working emergency button. That why my oh-so-cute-and-yet-so-tall hunny-bunny, you should not be too stingy when you spend your money on safety."

To improve JaeJoong's English skill, YooChun bought him a bunch of Harlequin novels. Thus, the oldest newly found set of vocabularies. He found the term of endearments used in those novel interesting.

"And mommy, we're still in the basement, so we can't use our cell phone, bad reception, right? And we were lucky that the light didn't go out, right? Right?" Eagerly, baby-Chun helped out explaining the situation to his younger siblings.

"Yes, shnoodle-bum. The electricity is there, but the elevator is just not moving."

"Why do we have to wait for someone else to help us?" baby-Su asked. "Can't daddy just break the door with his taekwondo kick?"

"Yah," YunHo yelled, his dialect came out, "Daddy is not Superman. Daddy's leg is not as strong as the metal door." Everyone knew that beneath his tough manly exterior, there was a big kid with a playful nature inside.

"They're not?" baby-Min pouted. "But my daddy is the strongest man alive. He can break people's spine."

"There, there, my oh-so-sweet-but-greedy pink icing butter cake," JaeJoong consoled his disappointed members children. "I know it's hard to believe, but your daddy is not all that."

As YunHo protested in indignant, JaeJoong let out a small smile. Different people had different coping mechanism, and he had no problem with theirs.


LEVEL 2: A MATTER OF TIME

"Manager hyung-deul should figure out what happen when we didn't show up for the meeting, right?" YooChun contemplated, "I mean, we have an interview ... " he glanced at his watch. " ... that was supposed to start 10 minutes ago."

Shaking his head, YunHo tried his cell phone again. Still no signal. "I think we just have to wait and see. There's nothing we can do here anyway."

"Should we do some work?" ChangMin pulled out his journal. "Might as well do it while we're waiting."

All of them had foregone standing and were sitting cross-legged on the floor.

"Agree," JunSu nodded in approval. "So, what's in the agenda?"

"Well, you know the new song that we got? We still have to decide who sings which part," YooChun pulled out his iPod and portable mini speaker from his bag as he spoke.

"We also have to decide the song order for our upcoming Japanese tour. We've done the Korean one already," ChangMin skimmed his note.

"Hmm … SM Town in Thailand is coming real soon," JaeJoong mused. "We haven't come out with a plan yet."

"What plan?" JunSu asked. "Am I missing something?"

"Ah," YunHo snapped his fingers. "That's right, the one for SHINee. We did said that we're going to prepare something special for them in Thailand."

"Hyung, didn't you already make them cry in China?" JunSu thought about their newest addition to the SM family. They were cute. JunSu liked cute things.

JaeJoong recalled the one hour fake fight that he and YunHo had with LeeTeuk and KangIn in front of the five young singers. "They were in various states of panic, but none of them were in tears."

JunSu sighed, "You're lucky that you got it all on tape. Or else I wouldn't forgive you guys for not letting me in on that plan."

"This is why SHINee like me the most," YooChun said, "I'm not a sadist like you guys."

ChangMin snickered, "No, you're not. You just lure them with your nightly visit to their recording session and bait them with snack."

"Yah, I don't need any luring, nor any baiting," YooChun waggled his eyebrows, "Snack of no snack, they adore me."

"Alright, alright, let's vote on what we should discuss first then," YunHo announced. "One finger for the new song, two for the tour and three for SHINee." Democracy was a big part in the group everyday life. "Ready? One, two, three."

The fifteen fingers, for them, represented the fact that after all these years, family still always come first. No matter what.

"Ok, let's start then."

"Gacca!" JunSu replied in English Konglish.

"Gacca?" YooChun frowned at the foreign word. "Gucci? ... Grains? ... Grade?" he muttered several possibilities, " Mecca? ... Mocha? ... Hack? ... " He was supposed to be the one who understands JunSu the best, so he will not give up until he figured it out, "Gackt?"

Suddenly, it sunk in, "Oh, you mean Gotcha!"


LEVEL 3: FRAGILE BALANCE

"Nobody is perfect."

"Yes JunSu-hyung, we all know that."

"I am nobody, therefore I am perfect."

Silence.

"Why are you guys looking at me like that? Is the joke not funny?"

"JunSu-ah, I think your fans will cry if they ever heard you saying that."

"Are you listening to yourself, hyung?"

"Jun-chan, don't do this to yourself, babe."

"JunSu, I wore your boxers. And they were ducky-butt-stretched boxers. Only your ducky butt can do that to a boxer, so you're definitely not a nobody."

"But I am perfect as a nobody."

"Don't even think about it."

"Or should I say: because I am perfect, therefore I am nobody?"

This ridiculousness had to be stopped right now.

"JunSu, read my lips. No member of mine is a nobody, got it."

JunSu gulped.

"Yes, JaeJoong-hyung."

YunHo took pity on JunSu, "I'll lend my Bambi as long as you need her, so don't get too upset about it, okay."


LEVEL 4: LEARNING CURVE

After almost an hour, they finally managed to get out of the elevator. It turned out that the said elevator was having some problem after all, but the maintenance personnel forgot to put the 'out of order' sign in front of the door at the basement. They have to call the elevator company because no one in the building knew how to fix the problem, thus the long wait.

The editor of the magazine who invited them apologized profusely at the 'inconvenient' and 'discomfort' that the boys might have endured. They accepted it graciously. And to be honest, it didn't bother them that much because they have no other schedule after this interview. And being stuck with the other member, well, that was just their everyday life. The interview and photo shoot went by smoothly and they wrapped it up under three hours.

The following conversation happened when in front of the same elevator that they were trapped earlier today on their way back from the magazine's studio.

"We should use the stairs for the rest of the day," ChangMin, one of the health freaks suggested.

"Yup, I prefer taking the stairs too," JunSu nodded.

"It's fine by me," YooChun shrugged his shoulder. "Let's just give the elevator ride a break for today."


"I'm okay with it too," YunHo agreed. "Even though they said that they've fixed it, we should just play it safe for now."

"True. Maybe we should start promoting this," JaeJoong found an inspiration. "People need to start using the stairs again instead of the elevator. It saves a lot of electricity, so it'll prevent global warming and it's a good exercise too."

As the other member voiced their agreement on the subject, one little fact slipped their mind. A fact that might teach them a very important lesson in life: do not to make a hasty decision without considering all the facts.

Especially, one single fact that their own apartment was on the 23th floor.

-------------------------

"GYAAA!!!!" Yunho's scream boomed throughout the apartment on that lovely morning which (add, he) shared with the other four members of Dong Bang Shin Ki. Yunho's hands were shaking like hell by that time. He felt like collapsing on the floor right at that time. He felt the world around him stop spinning. He felt his world had crash down. The letter fell on the floor as Yunho looked at it with horror face ever.


"NOOOOO!!!" Yunho finally collapsed on the floor with tears flowing out from his eyes. He can't contain his sadness that had wrenched his heart violently.

"Bambi....I've lost you...Waaaaa....." Yunho stomped his feet and hands on the floor like a 3 year old kid. He reached the letter again and read it for nth time already.



***Hello there Uknow Yunho...Ahaaa..I'm sure you missed your bambi soo much right now...Haha
You want it back?? Follow what I'd said then you will find your destiny back...Trust me...
Here's the clue for your little fluffy bambi : Where would you bring your lover to spend your
quality time?

p/s : ahhh..if you get there on time, I'll make sure there's bonus for yah! So? XD
Be there at 10 a.m sharp! Wait for me at the last chair on your right hand side****



"Bam..*sniff*..Bi...*hiccup*..I miss...*blow nose* you...WAAAAAA!!!" Yunho's wails got louder and louder each second. Where the hell did Yunho the manly leader of DBSK go?? The strong leader sshi was crying like crazy. Daaa...So girly...

***screeeetttt****

"Yah yah!! What did you just say?? Girly?? Who?? Me?? No I'm not..*rolled eyes*" Yunho said as he pointed his finger to the author.

Author : Oh oh...Whatever Yunho...Just admit it..*rolled eyes*

"No I'm not...I just...I just...I missed my Bambi!! That's all!! I'm not girly!" Yunho said as he snorted angrily.

Author : Oh yeah right...*sarcasm* And that's it Jung Yunho!! Back to the action!

****back to the story****

"Erm...Where would I bring my BooJae to spend our quality time?? Erm..." Yunho said to himself as he do a thinking pose with his finger on his chin.. Oh yes! You're sooo right! BooJae or Kim Jaejoong or his Baby or whatsoever you called him, it was Yunho's lover. Oh yes again! The other three members also had blessed their love relationship.

*light bulb popped out from Yunho's head*

"Yes!! The park!!! I'll bring my BooJae to the park!! Yes!" Yunho quickly stood up from sitting on the floor like a last lady standing.

.

.

.

.

"Yah! I don't mean that Park Yoochun okay~~I mean the park! Playground..Aish...You're so slow..You shouldn't be an author in the first place.." Yunho said as he looked at the author annoyingly for her slowness..

Author : Yah yah!! Don't say like that...I know that you're talking about the park..Geez..You're sooo sensitive..If you're too good, then take my place and let me take yours...Then I'll seduce your BooJae like there's no tomorrow..You want that Jung Yunho??

"Okay okay...I'm sorry..From now on, I'll listen to you and don't take my Baby away.."

Author : You better Jung Yunho...Now lets get back to the scene!

.

.

.

.

"Oh SHIT!!! It's 9.30 already!!! My Bambi, wait for me!!!" The curse word slipped out easily from Yunho's lips when he realised that he didn't have much time left. He quickly ran towards the closet and grabbed wherever clothes that he think suits him and threw it to the bed as he took his towel. After that he quickly stepped into the bathroom and took a really quick bath. When I say REALLY QUICK, I mean it!

3 minutes later...The ultimate Jung Yunho walked out from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist with the water still dripping from his hair to his tanned and nice build body which the girls out there drools about. Without wasting anytime, he wore those clothes in no time like thunder! Then he stepped to the mirror and took a looked at himself and fixed his hair slightly. Why? He didn't have time to style his hair because his Bambi's life is in danger!

"Oh my!! That person might rip my Bambi till the last piece!! No!! I won't let it happen! GYAAA!! That person must been punished for stealing my Bambi...Geezz..." After done babbling to himself, he took his phone and wallet that was placed on the small bedside table and walked out from the room that he shared with his BooJae clumsily.

Author : Herm...Clumsy exactly like Mr.Bean...

Yunho just rolled his eyes like hell and silently greeted him when he passed through the living room.

"Erh? Where's everyone??" Yunho asked himself as he scratched his un-itchy head.

"BooJae?? Minnie?? Chun?? Su??" He called all his other four members but none of them answered him.

"Ahhhh...Is fate playing on me?? Today is my birthday and no one wished me yet...And now, they we're out without inviting meeee...." Yunho whined badly as his feet brought him to the main door.

.

.

.

.

.

9.59 a.m. at the park

Yunho panted like hell when he reached the park. He just ran from his apartment building and didn't care to take a cab because the only park he want to bring his BooJae was two blocks away.

"Ahh..ahh..ahhh....*pant* That person is sooo gonna get it for making me running like a crazy man.." Yunho said still with his heavy breath as his eyes opened widely like an owl which is wildly looking for the last chair like the letter said.

"There it is....." Yunho's eyes spot the last empty chair which was placed near the bushes. He quickly walked to the chair which is ten metres away from the spot he's standing now. Then, he sat there waiting for the person who had stolen his only Bambi to come. Suddenly,

.

.

.

.

"Gotcha!" His eyes were covered with a delicate palm. He put his hand on the soft hands and pulled it down as he turned around to see who the stalker that had stolen his Bambi.

"Boo??!!" Yunho said in disbelief when he saw his lover standing right in front of him with a wide smile forming on his pouty, tempting lips. That time, his mind suddenly stopped functioning.

Jaejoong just giggled cutely as the answer for Yunho's question mark look shown on his lover's face. He pulled Yunho to sit on the chair as he handed the guy's cute fluffy Bambi that he kept behind just now.

"Baby~~~How could you do this to me~~~" Yunho whined as he hugged his Bambi tight.

"Awww...YunBear...Don't be angry my honey...I got you something~~~" Jaejoong said as he smiled sweetly at his still whining lover. How he wish to just make love with that man right at that time, right at that park!




Author : Geezz...Jaejae, since when you became this pervert huh??

"Shushh!! Keep it down....Other people might hear it..Sheesh..You never keep your big mouth shut huh?

Author : Kim Jaejoong! We'll definitely settle about this after we done all this thing...*death glare* Now get back to the scene!!!

.

.

.

.

"You got me something baby?? What is it??" Yunho asked eagerly. His sour face now vanished just like that! *snap finger*

"Awww...My YunBear is soooo cute..." Jaejoong said as he pinched Yunho's cheek as he can't stand the cuteness that his lover showed him.

"I'm cute because my baby who the one that teach me...." Yunho was the only one who knows how to get Jaejoong excited and blushing at the same time.

"Tadaaaa....." Jaejoong showed Yunho the thing that he had been holding since he reached the park. Yunho's eyes shimmered with happiness when he saw his lover holding a cute little cakewith 'Happy Birthday My YunBear' words written with pink icing on the cake.

"Baby, you remember...you remember today is my birthday...."

"Of course my honey...How can I forget my YunBear birthday..." Jaejoong said with his soft and angelic voice ever as he pecked Yunho's tempting lips softly.

"Ah..There's one thing honey...This one..." Jaejoong said as he took out couple ring from his pocket. One for Jaejoong and for Yunho. On Jaejoong's, there's Yunho's name on it and vice versa.

"Awww....My Baby BooJae is soooo sweet...." Yunho seems so speechless when Jaejoong slipped the ring into his finger. He tried to hold back his happy tears from flowing down his cheeks. Then Yunho's turn to slip the ring into Jaejoong's.

"There...So, you wouldn't take this off until the day you don't love me anymore..Okay YunBear??" Jaejoong said as he brought his hand to snake around Yunho's waist and laid his head on Yunho's broad shoulder.

"Boo, I won't take this off...Never..Because I'll always love you...Eternity..." Yunho replied as he kissed Jaejoong's soft silky hair lovingly.

"Thank you sweetheart...I love you sooo damn much YunBear.."

"I love you more My Baby BooJae..."
.

.

.

.

.

"Yah yah!! Stay silent please...I'm recording it now...Geez..." Yoochun whispered in annoying tone when the baby boy can't stay at his place and kept moving around which was disturbing his work.

"Chun hyung...I want that cake!! Gosh!! That’s just too damn delicious!!" Changmin whispered at Yoochun's ears loudly which sent shivers to Yoochun. It scared him when Changmin is in this state where he can't control himself anymore. Oh yes! It's about food of course.

"Yah Min...Please don't make the situation more worse ...." Good job Su! Remind that eating machine or you can call him the blackhole stomach that they were hiding in the bushes behind YunJae couple which are acting mushy mushy in front of them.

"But hyung....Hmph! Promise me to buy that exactly the same cake as Yun hyung's?? If not I'll barge them right now..." Changmin whispered loudly to Junsu ears.

"Okay okay Min...I promise..Now shut your big mouth!"

.

.

.

.

.

"Awww...Yunbear, there's cream on your lips..." Jaejoong said. That time, they were enjoying feeding each other with the delicious cake which Changmin drooled for.

"Really?? Clean it for me, Baby??" Yunho asked cutely. Aha! Jaejoong will do it willingly if course!

"My honour Mr Jung..." Jaejoong said as he kissed Yunho's lips where the cream was. Jaejoong licked the cream away but the pervert leader took the chance deepen the kiss. Jaejoong who always can't resist no matter what his lover do to him, parted his lips and let Yunho have his way. They continue the hot scene without caring the people that gave them weird stare as they drove off to their own world. It was like they going to strip and have their high time there. But still, they didn't realise that there's people who was recording their hot action!

.

.

.

.

"Oh my gosh!! They we're like stripping there!!" Junsu whispered excitedly as he can't get his eyes from his hyungs who was enjoying their quality time.

"Ha ha ha...I know Su...I know...I'm sooo going to post this video at Yunho-sshi forum today....I'm going to make sure all his fans going crazy..." Yoochun said slowly as he smirked at the couple.

"Oh oh Chun! Don't forget to post it at YunJae Everlasting too...I'm sure it gonna be..'Boom'.." Junsu said as he did the burst action.

"Ha ha...I'm sure that YSH and YJE members will raise later...." Yoochun said as he kept recording the mushy action of YunJae couple.

"Ahhh...I can't hold on anymore..." Changmin said as he barged out from the bushes out of sudden which surprised YunJae and YooSu couple.

"Oh Shit man!" YooSu cursed!

.

.

.

.

"Erm....Yun...Mmm..." Jaejoong moaned slightly as they suddenly being disturbed by a loud thud sound.

They broke the kiss and stared at Changmin who was covered by leaves on his head and shirt.

"Min??" Yunho and Jaejoong asked in unison.

"He he.." Changmin let out nervous chuckles as he stepped slowly to his ummappa. He didn't know that his reaction just now had startled his YooSu hyungs which is 100% visible to YunJae vision now!

"ChunSu??" Once again both of them being startled again.

"Ahhhh..Whatever hyung...Just give me that cake..." Without waiting for the reply, he stuffed that delicious cake into his mouth clumsily like there's no next minute!

"Erh...What's going on.." Yunho was confused and Jaejoong just shrugged as he stared at Yunho with lust in his eyes.

"Where were we just now??" Jaejoong asked suggestively as they continued their previous activity and the YooSu couple continued recording the hot action without bothering to get out from that bushes. It's for their fans after all.

.

.

.

.

.

"Su, I'm uploading it now...He he..." Yoochun said as he looked at Junsu with his smirk shown on his handsome face.

"Haha..Great job Chun!" Junsu said as he tapped on Yoochun's shoulder proudly.

"I know Su..."

Yoochun stopped his words when he heard something that corrupted their mind to the maximum state which is coming from the room next door!

"Ahhh..Boo...You didn't wear your boxer huh??" YooSu heard the pervert voice of their leader-sshi.

"I want to make your work easier honey..." Then, they heard their Jae hyung replied with his sexy tone which sent shivers to both of them.

"Baby, you are soooo getting punish tonight for stealing my Bambi...." Again, they heard the dangerous tone in their leader voice. Right after that, the moans and grunts can be heard and it's getting louder and louder every second!

"AHHHHHH!!! That's it hyung!!! I don't wanna hear it more!!" Suddenly both of them, YunJae and YooSu couple were shocked with Changmin’s voice which clearly heard those dirty words from his ummappa.

"Su??" Yoochun raised his eyebrow at Junsu who was holding his phone in his hand with grinning face. Ready to record those sweet moans of YunJae and upload it!

.

*knock* *knock*

Jaejoong : Ahhhh...Erm..Don't...Dis..turb..Arghh..Us!

Author : Yah Kim Jaejoong! We still have unfinished business here...Come out now before I barge into your room..

Jaejoong : Ahhhh!! Later please...We were...bu..sy!

"Hmmm...Make sure you..."

*creek*

'Oh My God!! They're crazy!! They are going to break the bed or what??!!' The author thought as her eyes like popping out from the socket in any second. She's sure that her innocent mind can't be innocent anymore...*sigh*

Title: Confirmation

The boxers were blindingly red, and almost reached the point where it could be called horrifying; how that level could be achieved was something Yunho didn't really want to think about. Even so, it was a birthday present from a fan – an early one, in fact – and that meant that it was something he was just almost obligated to like. Almost, that is, except for the fact that it looked two sizes too small.

Glancing over at the card that came with the present, he sighed at the thoughtful words and resigned himself to his fate. He looked over to the door to confirm it was closed before stripping out of his outfit. Yunho wasn't embarrassed about being seen naked by his members – it was a common enough sight in their apartment – but the boxers!

Sliding the boxers over his feet and up his lean legs only confirmed his previous thoughts. The boxers were too small- small enough that he could effectively call them boxer-briefs instead. Although it was leaning so much to the brief's side that the word 'boxers' could not actually apply to the undergarment anymore. Finally drawing the article all the way up and adjusting his… manly package, he dropped his hands and shifted this way and that, discovering that the boxers… were actually kind of comfortable.

'Hmm,' Yunho glanced at himself in the full-length mirror behind the door, admiring the sleek lines the boxers endowed him with. 'Not bad, not b-'

The door was abruptly slammed open, accompanied by a shrill, "Yunho-hyung! Tell-", which was just as abruptly cut off with a choke and followed quickly by an equally shrill scream.

"Hyung! You pervert!"

Although Yunho wanted to remain composed – a leader always is, no matter the situation – he couldn't help but turn a deep red (similar to the color of the boxers) and squeak with embarrassment before running to grab something for a cover just in case-

"Yunho-sshi, why is- uh… never mind."

Damn, too late and caught in a rather provocative position. Wondering if he should save his pride or his… pride, he decided he was too late anyway, and any form of pride of his had been destroyed, continued to pick up his blanket off the floor from his bent stance and wrapped himself in it like it was a toga.

"Manager-hyung. Junsu," he paused with an internal wince, "Jaejoong. Yoochun. Changmin. What can I do for you?"

In a late act of gravity, a piece of the boxer's packaging – complete with a rather lovely, explicitly detailed picture of another type of package – fluttered from nowhere and landed on Yunho's shoulder.

And like a dam slowly breaking under the pressure of a swelling river, a giggle was released – likely from Jaejoong if the hands flying to his mouth were any indication – a laugh was quickly stifled and the proverbial dam broke. Yunho stood woodenly in his makeshift toga facing his traitorous members: Members who were dying of laugher, if the degeneration into the pile of human bodies in the doorway was any indication. He had no idea how to take control of the situation, but in the next moment, his sharp "Yah!" broke through the loud laughter.

5 pairs of eyes blinked at him in surprise, but the packaging was still stuck to Yunho's shoulder and the laugher spilled out once more.

Colored a vibrant red, Yunho stomped over to the door and scowled, "If you don't have anything better to do than laugh at me, you can all go practice your vocals for the next few hours!"

He slammed the door in their faces, but not before making sure no fingers, toes, hair, or other body parts would be caught, locked it and stood staring at the door. Seconds later, there was banging and knocking and fervent pleas.

"Aw, hyung! Don't be so mad, we're sorry for laughing!"

"Yeah, hyung! You don't look that bad!"

"Yunho-ah! Don't be upset at us. We think you look good in those briefs. They're very… fitting."

"Yeah, hyung, they look so natural on you! Almost like a second skin."

Stifled laughter.

"Yunho-sshi. Your members are right. There's nothing embarrassing about wearing those incredibly red, incredibly tight briefs."

It seemed to be too much for them to mention the article of clothing again as the image of their oh-so-proud-and-manly leader bending over and practically mooning them popped up and they broke down with laughter once more.

Incensed, but not quite sure why, he shouted through the door, "They're boxers, not briefs! And just so you know, they're a birthday gift from a fan!"

The laughter quieted down on the other side of the door and a bit of shuffling was heard before a knock on the door sounded.

"Yunho-ah, we're sorry about laughing, but you know we're not laughing at you. It was just a funny moment. Don't overreact, leader-sshi."

Yunho deflated slightly at Jaejoong's words, his momentary but severe embarrassment melting away as he calmed down. The unreasonable reaction had been a direct result of the band's ability to compartmentalize their different personas and the shock of literally being caught with his pants down in such an awkward position in the dorms knocked him off balance. Now he flushed with a different kind of embarrassment, resisting the urge to cover his face with his hands. He was made of sturdier stuff than that.

As if sensing his dying ire, Jaejoong spoke up again, "Now, stop sulking and put on some clothes. Dinner's almost done and we'll have to get ready for tonight's practice when we finish eating."

Childishly, Yunho stuck his tongue out at the door, upset at Jaejoong for sounding like the more responsible one while he was left looking like an idiot.

"I know what you just did, Yunho, and if you're not out in 5 minutes, you're going to have to cook your own ramen for dinner."

Damn, he forgot Jaejoong was the umma of the band.

He tossed himself onto his bed as he listened to the shuffling sounds of his members and manager come through the door before receding, presumably to wash up for dinner. He stuffed his face into his pillow for a moment more, one hand groping around the head of the bed for his precious. Feeling a slightly threadbare, plushy object, he grasped it and brought it under his chin, snuggling into it, just a little.

"Ugh, Bambi. I wish I was you for a day or more. Then I wouldn't need to go through all these embarrassing moments," he peeked his eyes open to stare at the stuffed animal, before sitting up abruptly in shock. "Bambi! What happened to you?!"

To Yunho's horror, Bambi sported a large hole on her back, exposing the cotton within gruesomely while some threads trailed from the gaping wound. But he had no time to lament over his poor Bambi as a knock came on the door and Changmin's voice rang out.

"Jae-umma says you have 1 minute left before your food is donated to the Changmin-starvation fund. Please take your time so I can eat it all," the younger man let out a cackle before he practically skipped back to the dinner table.

Knowing that Changmin really would eat his portion of the food, Yunho gave Bambi a mournful look before placing her next to his pillow so he would remember to take care of her. He then leapt for the clothes he had taken off only minutes before and rushed to put himself in order. Unfortunately, there was no time to change his underwear and he gave a little groan before pulling up his pants and checking to make sure the band wasn't peeking through. A little internal clock ticked at him and he unlocked the door hurriedly, sprinting for the dinner table.

Luck was on his side at that moment in the way that it hadn't the whole night and he sat just as Jaejoong finished putting the last dish on the table. The older man looked at him with narrowed eyes before he seated himself. The other three members had already shouted "Itadakimasu!" just as Jaejoong sat down – followed by the last three – and within minutes, the amount of food on the table was halved, halved again, and again, and barely fifteen minutes since the last dish was placed, the entire meal was polished off.

One by one, the members muttered their finishing phrase and staggered off to laze around for the thirty minutes they had free before they left for practice. Their manager stood up and thanked Jaejoong for the meal before retiring for the night, sure that Yunho would follow the schedule as planned and bring the group to their practice.

"Yunho, it's your turn for the dishes," the light brunet said even as he cleared the dishes from the table.

"Ah, yeah. Let me do that." Yunho stood up to take the plates from Jaejoong, but the grasp on the plates were tight and he stared at the slightly shorter man. He tugged it a little towards himself and watched as the other man jerked forward. "You can let go now."

Jaejoong stared back at him intensely, "Or you could let go and finish clearing the rest of the dishes."

"But it's my night to clean, so I should do it all. You cooked tonight, so just go sit down and rest."

The other man's eyebrow twitched as if in a failed attempt at raising it in contempt before he retorted, "I'm sure I can handle just bringing one load of dishes to the sink, Yunho. Let. Go."

A shout from the living room, "Just let Jaejoong-hyung bring the dishes to the sink like a good mother and help him like a good father, Yunho-hyung. Stop flirting with each other."

As Yunho's grip slackened a little in surprise, Jaejoong took advantage and snatched the dishes, finally settling them into the sink that was a mere two feet away. The tips of his ears were tinted slightly pink and he left the kitchen without another word. Startled at the reaction, Yunho could only go back to clearing the table and washing the dishes, shaking his head slightly in exasperation. 'Ugh, Yoochun needs to stop channeling the YunJae fangirl in him.'

Twenty minutes later, the dishes were cleaned and set aside to dry; the five members of TVXQ were dressed in their workout clothes and they set out to start their practice for the SMTown concert. It started and ended as usual and by the time they finally got back to their dorm, they only had enough energy to shower and change before collapsing onto their beds. Bambi lay forgotten from where she fell when Yunho crashed into his bed. It would be a while later before Yunho even had the energy to think about her again- he certainly didn't have the energy to notice Changmin open his eyes and creep over to pick her up…

--

Several days filled with some last-minute activities in Japan passed before they set off for Bangkok. Anxiously hoping that nothing would prevent them from getting there this time, they all breathed a sigh of relief when the plane set down and they started the ride to their hotel. Greeting fans along the way and sending bright smiles everywhere, the aches they all got from riding the plane faded away and each member of the band began to eagerly anticipate the approaching concert.

In the midst of all the activity, Yunho kept quiet about his birthday, but he was still sure in his heart that his members and staff would remember and they would find time to celebrate at some point during the day.

But then hours and hours passed and the day was almost over. Several times throughout the day, Yunho let out a self-deprecating sigh, disappointed that nobody had even bothered to wish him a happy birthday, not even the occasional fan that they encountered while they rushed around. Even so, he kept his thoughts internalized and stayed quiet. He didn't really expect anything for his birthday, and it wasn't really important enough in the face of the concert that had been a long time coming. Still…

Oddly enough, although no one mentioned his birthday, there were many times during the day that one of his members or staff would come up to him with an anxious smile on his or her face, asking him if he wanted anything. He was offered food multiple times, refreshments many more and once, someone even asked him if he wanted a massage. He refused most of them, more eager to accept a birthday greeting or wish, but found himself let down after every encounter.

It was finally in the late p.m. hours and Yunho resigned himself to an uncelebrated 23/24thbirthday, but cheered himself up with the thought that he could at least spend the next day with his fans, singing and dancing on the stage with his group.

The rush of preparation accelerated more during these hours, setting up everything that needed to actually be set up the next day and adjusting things that they could already anticipate now. A staff member suddenly zoomed from nowhere to intercept Yunho in his trek around the backstage area, passing on a message that was apparently from his manager.

"He wants you to go to the dressing room and make sure that all of your things arrived safely. When you're done, he also wants you to check…"

In an uncharacteristic move, Yunho started to tune her out while nodding intermittently to pretend he was listening. As leader, he should've been paying attention to everything he needed to do before the concert, but he was only human and birthdays were simply meant to be celebrated every year with friends and/or family, despair was inevitable.

"…okay? Do you know where to go?"

Yunho blinked a little, managing to tune in at the perfect time before nodding, "Thank you for passing on the message." He left right after for the dressing room, missing the smirk on the woman's face as he moved away.

"He's coming, eta about 2 minutes. Get ready," she spoke into her headset, now with a soft smile, as she watched Yunho enter the back building with slow steps.

Yunho indeed took two minutes to get to the dressing room with his slow steps when the trip would usually take barely one. The depression was really getting to him, even if he didn't want to admit it. But he was the leader, and he had to be strong. He stopped in front of the doors to the dressing room and took a deep breath before breathing out. He took another one, and then made the mistake of holding it in as he opened the door, as the door widened completely, he found that the lights were off- and then they weren't.

As the lights flickered on, more people than the room should've logically held jumped at him and yelled "Surprise!"

The breath he had held in was let out in a rush and because he was quite surprised, he couldn't control his vocal cords and a not-so-manly squeal fell from his lips.

The crowd was in the midst of screaming out "Happy Birthday", but instead degenerated into laughter as they heard the noise and saw Yunho's face. As troubled as many of the staff and members became as the day passed, all their worries faded away as they watched the shock on their beloved TVXQ's leader's face melt and transform into the brightest smile they had seen in a very long time.

Unbidden, a whispered "You remembered" slipped out and those closest to him, obviously including his most important band members, laughed in glee and they chattered as they rushed towards him.

"Gotcha! Of course we would remember! Don't be stupid, Yunho," Yoochun, Junsu, and Changmin's words tumbled around each other and formed an astonishingly coherent and truthful statement and they all grinned as Jaejoong continued, "We would never forget the day that our wonderful leader came into the world. That would make us horrible members, wouldn't it?"

And with a flash, relief, happiness and sheer joy bubbled up in his chest and he closed the distance, bringing them all into a group hug.

The rest of the crowd applauded and cheered in celebration and the party finally began.

Yunho was herded around the room by his members as they pointed out what each person did to help plan the surprise. By the time they maneuvered him to the center of the room where a beautiful cake stood, his hands ached from the multiple handshakes, his waist protested against the endless bowing, and his cheeks strained to continue conveying his bliss through a smile and his heartfelt words.

Seeing the group reach the cake, their manager clapped his hands loudly and called out, "Alright, it's time for the cake. But before that, the boys each wanted to say something for this occasion."

The four all glanced at the others in surprise, for they had each gone to the manager separately to request some time for them to speak at the party and didn't know they had all done the same. Grins broke out on their faces and silently, unanimously, the speech order was decided.

As the room settled and the chatter quieted, glasses of champagne were passed around. When everyone held a glass in their hand, Junsu stood up and cleared his throat to draw everyone's attention to him.

"I'll keep this short and joke free."

A snicker from the crowd and his members interrupted him, and he glared at them all in response, "Oh, yes, very funny."

He took a breath before beginning, "Yunho-hyung was, in the beginning, my hoobae," chuckles rang through the room, "but after years of training and hard work, we came together as a group to form Dong Bang Shin Ki where Yunho took his, I admit, rightful place as leader." Junsu spared a glance at Jaejoong here before continuing when receiving a smile from the man.

"When we exploded into popularity faster than anyone anticipated, it was Yunho-hyung who kept his head on straight and continued to show the best sides of him in front of the cameras. He took charge when the rest of us couldn't and helped us to shine when we needed to. It's been over five years since our beginning and in terms of being the best leader, Yunho-hyung hasn't changed. There were so many times that one, or all of us, felt like collapsing and giving up – never-ending work in Korea and continuous disappointments in Japan each separately chiseled away at us. But instead of breaking down, he encouraged us to work harder and we came out of it in the end. A little tired, a little weary, but so much happier, and satisfied with the way everything just seemed to finally go our way. Life wasn't perfect and we've definitely hit some trouble along the way, but at the end of it all, the only thing I can say," Junsu turned to face Yunho with a smile on his lips and tears in his eyes, "is thank you, so much, for always being there for us. And I hope that we can be there for each other for many more birthdays to come."

"To Yunho," he raised his glass and bowed his head with respect.

"To Yunho." Everyone took a sip of the champagne, swallowed down the lump in their throat and waited for the next person to speak.

"For once, I'm rather apprehensive about going after Junsu. He actually managed to say some pretty good things," Changmin grinned at the crowd and they laughed appreciatively. Junsu nudged him with a sharp elbow in response.

"Well, it's been six, seven years since I met many of the people in this room and five great years since we've begun working together officially. I've had the special opportunity of growing up with this crowd, and while I have to say that it was far beyond what I imagined I would spend my high school and college years doing, I don't think there's much that I would trade for this experience. Probably, anyway," he smirked mischievously before continuing, "Throughout it all, I unexpectedly gained four wonderful older brothers, each more unique than the last. Yunho-hyung has been, and will remain, someone that I respect and look up to like few others in the world. These last several years would not have been the same without him and I'm so grateful that we were able to stay together for so long. We've all grown stronger through the difficulties we've faced, and I can only hope that our strength as Dong Bang Shin Ki will continue to grow for many more years to come with Yunho-hyung as our leader."

With that, Changmin lifted his glass up and took a drink in his honor. The crowd followed and waited for the next speech. Yunho blinked hard to keep his emotions in check and shifted his eyes to Yoochun, instinctively knowing that the last speech would be given to Jaejoong to speak.

To no one's surprise, when Yoochun stepped up to make his speech, he had his 'I'm-about-to-break-down-and-cry' face on already. With visible effort, he swallowed back his tears and cleared his throat, "There are few things I can say that haven't already been mentioned. But what I can say again is that Yunho-hyung has been the best leader. Throughout all the years of trying, succeeding, failing and succeeding and so many more different cycles of emotions and phases, Yunho-hyung had always tried his best to be there for all of us. Sometimes he didn't do so well," he chuckled as if recalling a fond memory, "but he always tried and in the end, that may have been what mattered the most. We've all grown as Dong Band Shin Ki, but we've also grown as individuals. Being around everyone here has helped mold us each into the people we are today, and I'm so grateful to be given this opportunity to meet every single one of you. There are few people who will say that being around Yunho-hyung isn't a gratifying experience on its own and certainly I would never say it. I can only hope that he understands how we all feel about him and know that we care so very much. Don't ever lose faith in us, because we'll never lose ours for you."

Near the end of the speech, tears began to spill from his eyes and by the end, he was completely choked up. Yoochun turned his face away from the crowd and was embraced briefly by Jaejoong, who then stepped up to make the final speech. Junsu and Changmin stepped in to comfort Yoochun, mostly by quietly teasing him about what a crybaby he was, even though their own eyes were clearly shining more than usual.

Yunho continued waiting by the cake, watching his members and gripping his hands tightly together.

"I only have a few things to say, and I'll give the spotlight back to Yunho- no matter how much it pains me," Jaejoong started with a small joke, once again lifting the atmosphere from its somber state. Unlike the other members, he turned to face Yunho completely, catching his eyes and holding them intently with his gaze.

"Being the leader of TVXQ was never really an option for me. I was the oldest, but I was far from being the most mature. Watching, and feeling, you take charge as our leader has been one of the best experiences of my life. No one will ever know how grateful I am to have you around and I hope it will be a very long time before I know how that feels like again. Thank you for giving us your best and being who you are; I will always love that person." He paused and gestured around the room, "We all love who Jung Yunho is."

For the last time that night, Jaejoong brought his glass up to salute the birthday boy, "To Yunho: our lovable, dorky, irreplaceable leader."

The crowd chorused after him enthusiastically, "To Yunho."

Bright smiles could be seen through the room and everybody cheered as Yunho brought his members in for a hug before several people attached themselves to the pile as well and it grew exponentially until everyone was hugging everyone else with joy. Finally, after a few moments of much accidental (and purposeful) groping, everyone separated to hear Yunho's speech.

It was simple, but it said everything that needed to be said; Yunho turned to the main crowd and with a determined stare, bowed and sincerely said, "Thank you. To every single person in this room, thank you for being with me on this journey, and most importantly, thank you for taking the time to celebrate my birthday. Words… cannot express how happy I am today. Thank you. So much." He bowed again to the crowd in front of him and turned to do the same for the rest of the crowd.

In the slight hush that fell over the room, a small, honest voice whined out, "Can we eat cake yet?" Laughter spread through the room again and the child's mother shushed him playfully, admonishing him for interrupting when he was the one who had begged to stay up for the party.

Yunho laughed at the child's plea and answered with, "Yes, we can. And you can even get the first slice."

The little boy cheered and ran through the gaps in the crowd, straight towards the cake before his mother could even register the boy moving. Laughing again, Yunho turned to the cake, grinning at his manager when he noticed him lighting up the final candle. Closing his eyes briefly, he made his wish, said his prayer, whispered his dreams, and blew out the candle. A cheer rang out again and the chattering began once more. Several of the staff members moved up to help Yunho cut the cake, who kept to his word and gave the little boy the first slice.

By then, the mother had reached the boy and thanked Yunho, wishing him a happy birthday. He smiled at her in thanks and turned back to pass out some more cake.

Only to come face to face with a palm full of pink icing. Caught in a blink and with his mouth open to speak, the icing smeared all over his face and into his mouth. He choked on the sweet topping a little before opening his eyes up in a glare. Slowly swiping the icing off his face with one hand, he raised the other to shake a finger at the offender before abruptly slapping his icing-filled hand straight into Junsu's laughing mouth.

And now it was his turn to choke. He whined a little before laughing out joyfully again, patting Yunho on his head without a thought and freezing when he realized that there was still a ton of icing on his hand.

"Oh… Sh-" and without another word, Junsu started running. Moving his hand towards his hair, Yunho grimaced at the stickiness he encountered and with a roar, he began his chase.

Those who witnessed the entire moment burst out into laughter; some people were forced to lean against each other for support while others continued to serve the cake with wide grins on their faces.

Jaejoong, Changmin and Yoochun were contently laughing to themselves raucously, never noticing the chase getting closer and closer to them until- Splat!

In an attempt to gain revenge, Yunho threw a handful of cream and pink icing towards Junsu, who – using the skills he gained from so much soccer playing – swiftly ducked behind the innocent bystanders, otherwise known as the other three members of the band. It should be quite obvious where the hunk of sugar landed.

For a second, everyone who saw the throw fell silent, fear slowly creeping into their hearts at the glare all three victims shot towards Yunho. But the sight of them covered in white and pink cream was too much and laughter rang through the room once again.

Seconds later, Yunho was the one on the run as the three people who had just praised him for his great leadership and importance in their life chased him with his death in mind.

Standing off to the side, Junsu breathed a sigh of relief; he was out of danger now.

An assumption thought too soon as Yunho swerved back to catch Junsu, blaming him (rightfully) for being the reason he had incurred the wrath of his other three members. Soon, everyone left in the room was treated to an amusing show of the five Dong Bang Shin Ki men chasing each other around with pink icing and cake decorations smeared all over them.

--

A while later, in the wee hours of the morning, the party finally finished and everyone began to retreat to their hotel rooms. They had a concert to get ready for in a few hours, after all, and they had to at least get some sleep.

All the members were forced to help Yunho bring his presents back, simply because there were too many for him to hold. Most of the gifts were inexpensive, as everyone knew he would refuse anything he thought was too much. Evidently, a few too many people had watched their shopping trip that broadcasted on Japan's channel-a show because Yunho found himself to be the new owner of several cup-and-plate sets, scented candles, wine temperature testers, unique clocks and interesting speakers. They all had a good laugh over this as everyone complained good-naturedly that it was hard to shop for Yunho when he never told anybody what he liked.

By far the most expensive gift he received was the complete set for Sony's alpha DSLR-A300K camera. Memory cards, battery, stand, lenses and carrying case were all included- and the camera itself as well, of course. All his members had pooled their money together to buy him the set- not so much because none of them could afford it on their own (although admittedly it would take a huge chunk out of their funds), but because they knew Yunho wouldn't feel happy about them spending so much money. Splitting the cost turned out to be a good idea in the end because when he heard that was the case, he softened his stance little by little until he was overtaken by the joy of owning such a good camera.

Finally, finally, they reached their hotel rooms and almost collapsed into their beds. But the icing and cake cream, although dried, were still rather sticky and sleeping in those clothes was not an option for any of them.

In each room, the more responsible member took a quick shower and exited to find the other falling asleep on their feet. Yunho laughingly tugged Junsu into the shower, ordering him to wash up before collapsing onto his own bed. Changmin begrudgingly helped Yoochun strip partway before shoving him into the bathroom and closing the door. He really didn't care if the man ended up falling asleep in there. Manager Lee shook Jaejoong awake with fond exasperation and pushed him to the bathroom, snagging his change of clothes and thrusting them into his arms.

Junsu sang as he showered, his voice getting louder and louder as he woke up under the rushing water, a beautiful melody lulling Yunho into a deeper sleep. Yoochun nearly did fall asleep, but ever the attentive dongsaeng, Changmin banged on the bathroom door until the older man stumbled out half naked and staggered to his bed. Jaejoong came out of the bathroom looking more awake than ever and better looking than anyone should be allowed to look at a time that was so late at night that it was almost early, and threw a blanket over his manager- who was silly enough to try to finish some paperwork that he couldn't get to before.

Making sure the manager wouldn't be too uncomfortable when he woke up – he would fall over in that position onto the bed sooner or later, right? – he grabbed a bag from his suitcase and quietly exited the room.

Slipping across the hallway soundlessly, Jaejoong waited outside the opposite door patiently, looking at the clock at the end of the corridor every so often.

Ten minutes later, he heard a click from the door and stepped away just a bit. The door opened slowly and soon, he saw Junsu's head peeking out and looking around the hallway before settling his eyes on Jaejoong.

"Yunho-hyung went to sleep already, so wait until he wakes up, okay? I'll be back before manager-hyung wakes up, so don't take too long," Junsu looked at him sternly, an expression that few people ever saw on his face.

The light brunet smiled slightly, "Don't worry so much, Junsu. Go get a good night's rest." He passed his keycard to Junsu and gestured him towards the other room, "We have a concert to perform today, don't forget."

Jaejoong walked over to the doorway quietly, closing the door on Junsu as he faintly heard, "I should be saying that to you! Don't forget, tch." He knew Junsu was grumbling a little more on the other side of the door, but when he heard the light click of the other door closing, he smiled again fondly and closed his own door.

Junsu really did worry too much sometimes, but Jaejoong guessed that it was to balance out his normally obscenely optimistic self. Breathing out a light sigh, he turned around and slowly walked to the double beds in the middle of the room. Sitting on the unoccupied one, he settled himself in, watching as Yunho's chest slowly moved up and down in his sleep. Glancing at the alarm clock on the nightstand, he decided to take a short nap; it was unlikely that Yunho would wake up anytime soon with the fun night that they had just spent.

Lying down and facing Yunho's bed, he continued watching him breathe, smiling to himself softly before he felt his eyes droop and finally close in sleep.

--

What felt like hours later, Jaejoong's eyes snapped open and he sat up swiftly, glancing towards the other bed in panic before breathing a sigh of relief- Yunho hadn't woken up yet.

He smirked slightly, a memory passing through his mind as he saw Yunho shifting in his sleep. He was going to wake up soon…

With a mischievous grin, Jaejoong got out of the bed and walked over the other one, grabbing a pillow along the way. Crouching by the side of the bed, he stifled a chuckle and waited for Yunho to wake up. He didn't have to wait long; watching Yunho turn to face him, he inwardly shouted with glee at how well things were turning out.

Yunho shifted and stretched a little before sleepily opening his eyes. When he saw Jaejoong's face not even a foot away, he drew in a sharp breath and sat up, "What are you doing here?"

And Jaejoong mentally laughed in delight, oh my, oh my, how perfectly Yunho was falling into his trap, "I couldn't sleep." He saw the younger man shift a little with worry and continued speaking.

"Yunho-ah, what do you think about me?"

He frowned a little, "What are you talk- Jaejoong!" Yunho glanced at the pillow he was clutching and the way he crouching next to the bed, "I can't believe you!"

The brunet couldn't conceal his laughter anymore and he tipped over from the resulting force, "I couldn't help it! You weren't exactly making it hard for me."

"Well, normal people would ask others what they're doing hovering next to a sleeping person's bed when that person isn't even supposed to be in the room," Yunho said indignantly.

"Sure, sure. Then explain how you figured out what I was doing so quickly," Jaejoong smirked confidently.

"Why don't you tell me why you still remember those lines first?" Yunho shot back.

"Ooh, touché," he chuckled before nudging Yunho over to take a seat on the bed, "It's not something you can forget so easily, acting in a story as if a male friend was crushing on another one; especially when you're the person who's worrying about whether he should be scared of being pounced on." Jaejoong let out a full laugh before smiling at Yunho.

"I have a present for you."

Changing the subject so abruptly confused Yunho for a second, but he furrowed his eyebrows and opened his mouth to speak.

"Well, it's not really a present, but I think you'll appreciate it all the same."

Perplexed, yet curious now, Yunho could only watch silently as Jaejoong got out of the bed to retrieve a bag near the door before returning and settling back in.

"Here you go," with a wide smile, the man plopped the bag into the other's lap, gesturing him to open it.

Yunho gave him a suspicious glance- he had already received a present from him, after all, what could this possibly be? He dug through the green tissue paper until he felt something plush and soft. Even more curious now, he drew the object out of the bag and unwittingly let out a little gasp.

"Bambi! Why is-" he suddenly remembered about the gaping hole and turned her over quickly, but there was nothing there, "What happened to-"

"Changminnie saw what happened to your precious Bambi and he told me about it. So I got him to take Bambi away – it wasn't so hard, you were so tired after our practice, but you should really take better care of your things – and fixed her up. The hole was mostly around the seams, so it wasn't so hard-"

Jaejoong was the one cut off this time as he was roughly pulled into a hug. He fell silent when he felt Yunho hug him even tighter and raised his arms to hug him back. For a few moments, neither of them moved, each drowning in their own thoughts and sensations. All too soon, Yunho drew away to look at him intently – much like the stare Jaejoong had given him only a few hours ago – before speaking.

"Thank you so much. This… this is the best present I've gotten all day." The emotion Yunho put into his words were so sincere and heavy that the older man couldn't help but blush and shift his eyes away.

"It's not such a big deal, really. The camera cost me so much more, you can't believe…" he trailed off as he glanced back to see the intense stare yet again.

"Thank you."

And Jaejoong could only nod in acknowledgment this time.

There was no telling how long the two would have sat there in silence, both thinking about different things that led to the same answer, and no one would never know, for seconds later, a series of knocks came from the door before the sound of a keycard swiping came through and the door opened.

It was Junsu peeking his head from behind the door again – this time from the other side – a wary look on his face as he settled his gaze on the two who were on the bed.

"Hmm," Junsu paused for a moment in thought before seemingly coming to a conclusion and stepping into the room, "It's time to get up and get ready. Breakfast is in 45 minutes, hyung will be awake in about five, and Changmin is attempting to pull Yoochun out of bed. I'm going to wash up and I expect only one person left in this room when I get out." He went to his suitcase to get a new set of clothes and tossed a stare towards their direction. "I mean it. I'll be really lame today if you're still here." With that, he went into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

The two older men stared at the door like it was Junsu and looked at each other with astonished looks before breaking into laughter.

"Since when did Junsu become leader of the group?" said Yunho through his chuckles.

"I guess around the same time-" before Jaejoong could finish his, what was undoubtedly going to be brilliant, reply, Junsu's voice tore through the air.

"I'm almost done! And I already have tons of jokes lined up to say today!"

With apprehension mixing with amusement in their eyes, Yunho and Jaejoong muffled their laughter and hugged each other one last time. "I'll see you soon, Yunho-ah."

"Yeah, later, Jaejoongie," Yunho shot a bright smile at him as he left the room. When the door closed, he fell back onto his bed with the smile still on his face.

He may have gone through most of his birthday slightly depressed, but at the end of it all, the entire day only confirmed what he already knew.

Being the leader of Dong Bang Shin Ki was the best thing in his life because of his members and staff.

And when hours later, a beautiful and thoughtful gift from an international fan forum was presented to him at the concert, he could only smile radiantly once more as he thought to himself that the fans certainly came a close second to help confirm that he wouldn't trade this life for anything.

Finally, The End~

A couple of minor notes:
1) As most can probably tell, this "takes place" in the week or so before the upcoming SMTown concert in Bangkok- first in Japan and then Bangkok itself. I have no idea what their actual schedule is like, so forgive any errors in there.
2) There are a few idea credits to add. TVXQ's FM Inkigayo campaign in 2006 #1(?) "Don't Ignore Your Friends" inspired the surprise party, sharingyoochun's chompoo's sharp eyes noticed Yunho wearing red underwear at two different 'O' concerts and one of jaeho_yongwonhi's post discussion about who was most likely to support YunJae in real life inspired the Junsu you see later on in the story. He may be dorky and cute a lot, but he most definitely has a brain too and I've come to see him as the protective YunJae fan (whereas Yoochun fanboys and Changmin embodies a child who's proud of his "parents" but embarrassed by the PDA). Not that there's any real YunJae here.
3) I stole a couple of lines from in-complete.net's past release of "Dangerous Love", translated by Grace (lilDBSKfreak).
4) I slipped in a mention of Yunho-sshi Forum's Valentine and birthday gift to him because I couldn't resist after seeing the beautiful pictures genna took and I was high off of writing the story. Please do not take this into account when voting, although it probably wouldn't affect it in the first place.
5) I'm so sorry this is so long, I tried to stop.

Title: Blanket Mornings

It was a warm morning; birds were chirping and the light wind sang. In the east the horizon was peaking through in shades of pink and purple. It was as magical as in any fairytale and with the light glistening on the cheeks of his sleeping beloved. It was better.
Curled beneath a thin blanket settled a man no more beautiful then sleeping beauty and no more paler then snow white; with lips as red as roses. In the crook of his arms snuggled a stuffed deer, Bambi, just one of many acquaintances in a fable.

"Yunho-sshi" the sleepy prince complained in a drowsy chortle " What are you making this early in the day?". Striding through the furniture, which rivaled a vine of thorns, a broad shouldered knight, no more charismatic then any prince charming, kneeled before his treasured; with hair as light and frothy as caramel.

"I'm baking a cake" he stated brushing back the black strips that kissed his prince's cheeks. A grunt of disbelief and distress sounded through his lips.
"I fear the safety of my humble abode" he pouted "tell me your following the ingredients?".
"I have them by the oven and was considering on starting a fire" he gloated flopping backwards as a pillow imprinted his face. The man twisted himself in a more suitable position before sneaking a peak at the silhouette kneeled before him who was examining the pillow with mild amusement at the words embroidered onto the thick mass 'gotcha'.

"manly~" he taunted throwing the pillow aside sheepishly.
"At least I'm not wearing purple boxers" he shot back defensively feeling exceptionally proud of his craftsmanship.
"Joong ah, don't announce it to the living room or to my daughter.." he pouted snatching away the small creature to caress its head. The still sluggish prince ran a hand through his midnight noir hair which loomed in glossy strands exposing his feminine neck.

In the distance, far off in the kitchen, the oven screeched like a serpent being struck down in defeat; alarming both men. The prince sprung from his sleeping position into a sitting position.
"I think the cakes done" the knight in shining armour snickered at the prince who was wrapped in princess garments. He scurried and slashed his way to the kitchen to put on oven mits and take out the crusted cake.

The prince folded himself in the thin blanket and hobbled towards his knight.
"Did you burn it?" he wondered as he caught whiff of the smoke coming out of the oven.
"Just a little.." he admitted feeling ashamed that his effort had been in vain "It got toasted quickly".

The prince peaked over the knights shining armour to get a better look but wearily laid his chin onto his metal skin. A tremble of embarrassment rattle against his bones in creaks and squeaks.
"Its not all that bad. I'm sure if we put icing onto it we could wash out the crispy taste" he attempted to reassure the sulking man. "yunho aah. you can pick the icing..." he muttered letting the silence build up in pressure.

"Pink icing..." the knight grunted.
"Is it already made?" the prince sniggered into his blanket.
"Possibly..." the man fumed and stomped to the fridge slightly forgetting the boneless prince; he pulled out a thick tube of pink. Rushing forward the prince grabbed the tube with his blanket covered hands and wobbled over towards the cake skillfully crafting a rose. one after another. over and over.
"You spent a long time learning that" yunho admired thoughtfully.
"I did.but it was worth it because these pink roses are bound to make everything better" he cheered quietly then turned around gracefully, cloth swaying behind him, he reach up and plants a glob of pink onto his knights chin. A single eyebrow lifted in enjoyment.
"oops. sorry." the prince fained innocent standing up on his tippy toes to plant candy kisses across his chin to clean off the glob; earning him a grin like no other.

"All better" he winked then retreated to finishing his work on the cake feeling the knight, yunho, place his head onto his padded shoulder in return. A silent thanks... a little 'i love you'.

And the seventh story, must I say it, Love the coupling as well as the eigth ninth and eleventh story. The tenth story I found Yunho to be very kinky lol. great job overall

CONFIRMATION

Okay, wow... That took a REAL long time, huh?

Well, I think the best would be...



Creative and different ^^ It was so funny and fun, I forgot about being sleepy!! HAHA. I thought I'd be reading forever... Yunho in Wonderland kinda made me go on XD.

Of course, the others were great too ^^ Everyone did a great job XD Sure made my day~

My vote goes to All I ask for is one thing :D
Lol so funny in the part where changmin wants to eat && the part at the end where junsu needs to buy boxer because of yoochun lolol.

i take singularity XD
hahaha 23 floor
and gacca XD
killed me :D

all so beautiful to read =]
singularity and yunho in wonderland were my favorites...
until i read Confirmation =D
so beautiful..and so realistic too =D
my vote goes to Confirmation

wah xD so many good stories~ hardest part coming... but my vote goes to...

SINGULARITY

LOVED this story SO much~ Jae's random English xD

Duuudes, I was totally going to write a one-shot, but I though it had to be just YunJae-related -didn't have time that day to read it through thoroughly enough- xD

That being said, all of the one-shots I read through (I read every other one, since I like odd numbers and all. xD Don't kill me! I went back and read the others too. xDD) were brilliant, each in their own way. I was hoping all of them wouldn't be of the same genre and there were a lot of variations. So, I'm very happy to be staying up a lot later than I should to read DBSK one-shots. <333

Anyways, I'm trying to decide between Singularity and Confirmation. They both had excellently planned-out story lines, and (IMO) they both really captured the personalities of the boys. However, I'm going to choose only one (even though 2 is my favorite number, after 3 of course. xDDD), so I'll be voting for Confirmation for several reasons. A few being that this particular one-shot really incorporated many of the things that have happened to DBSK over the years, whether purposely or not, and such tid-bits really helped to bring the whole piece together.

Regardless (I love that word. <3), all the entries had me performing my normal DBSK rituals of giggling, swooning, etc., and that's definitely how one should end their day. Thanks for writing such beautiful pieces, (do we HAVE and guys?) girls!! I hope we have another contest like this one soon! ;]

my poor mind is battling with all the good stories! i tried narrowing down the choices.. and came up with two.. Confirmation and Singularity.
well, for one, both had a hint of yunjae which is a major plus for me! hahahah.. =)) and both have humor.. singularity really really is super cute and funny! there are lines which ill remember! hahahahah.. =)) loved the role playing.. and junsu's nobody's perfect! lol =)).. thats why it comes as my very close SECOND..

so my vote goes for;

CONFIRMATION

^^ Waa~~~~ Seriously there were a lot of good fics... O_O I was literally like 'MONG~~~~' Anyway... I really enjoyes Confirmation and Singularity.... but my vote would have to go to Yunho in Wonderland... ^^ Weeeeeeee~~~~~~~

woah...so many LOL
i almost didn't get through them all

at first, i thought that my vote would go for either Yunho in Wonderland or singularity as they were both really funny and well written

and then i fell upon the fic titled confirmation and fell in love with how it was written

the speeches that each member gave seemed heart-felt and exactly what fans think of him as well ^^

it was very long, well-written, had its cracky moments, fluffy moments, and GREAT ending xD

my vote, therefore, goes to CONFIRMATION!!!!

Yunho in Wonderland

i thought it was relally creative.. i liked the stories a lot

All I ask For is the one i like ^^ haha~ The Boxer thing was simply amazing haha. :P Oh Junsu XD.
