Rating: G
Prompt: "unhealthy obsession" (not what you expected, huh?:p 365 words)
Pairing: Minsu
Summary: "This is our song", Junsu tells Changmin, handing him earphones.
The latter looks suspisciouly at the offering, can vaguely hear the music starting and thinks something comical-sounding will reach his ears.
When he puts the pair on though, a soothing melody trashes his expectations. It is instrumental, a piano playing, and Changmin recognizes it to be some classical music, or baroque or what, he never really knew the difference.
His posture remains rigid on the bed, (though he secretly enjoyed the mp3), while Junsu watches from the carpet, observing the other's reactions.The melody soon tapers off to the final moments before fading out. Junsu, who had shifted his eyes staring at the bar that indicated how far the music had gone, doesn't wait for Changmin to relinquish the earphones. He stands, confiscates, then wears them. He stalks out of the room then, like nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Unexpectedly, the music plagues Changmin, plays in his head when he least expects it - Just when he comes out of the shower, while separating beans from the rest of his dinner, as he's taking a book from a shelf.
He had asked everyone, humming the tune as best as he could to describe it, but no one could place it. He backtracks to all the the movies or anime they'd watched that week, just in case Junsu picked it up from those, but no, it wasn't there.
He is haunted, thinks that this is one of his hyung's devious pranks to make him end up losing sleep over something so trivial. Really, his hyung wasn't the innocent boy everyone though he was, he was the devil. The devil!
At the back of his mind, he knows that he is bothered because he doesn't know why this song was Their song... or to be more honest - unlocking what this song was would give him an idea of what They were, in his hyung's eyes.
Changmin got lucky and saw that Junsu left his laptop open. Even luckier, after a few clicks, the song suddenly plays, and his eyes quickly dart to the file name.
He laughs, shuts the computer, and goes to sleep.
