hug______ and
jaesoo_love The moment YunHo tells JunSu to take over, JaeJoong is the first to react and rush to JunSu’s side.
Taking over… is a sign of defeat, and JaeJoong refuses to believe that YunHo cannot really dance (but of course, he wouldn’t let YunHo dance, more so try to even wiggle his arms) because hello, YunHo owns the dance floor - no one could ever be better than him.
So when YunHo tells JunSu to perform his part in O-Jung.Ban.Hap, JaeJoong rushes to JunSu’s side just in time to catch the latter’s right hand when it falls to his side.
Do it, JunSu.
When JunSu tells them all that he’ll stay behind to practice some moves, JaeJoong also stays behind but only tells YooChun, because he knows that YunHo would question him and ChangMin would ask him to cook. But he has more important things to do.
He watches JunSu from the slit created by the slightly open door of the dance studio and bites his lips when he sees JunSu slip and fall.
It’s just so wrong. I’m not YunHo hyung. It’s just so wrong.
That night, he gives up all his hopes of becoming a master stalker and rushes to JunSu side, takes him in his arms even when JunSu’s fists pound on his chest.
And that night, JunSu cries.
When JunSu dances YunHo’s dance on the day of the concert, JaeJoong takes occasional glances at JunSu - occasional and stolen glances, he adds the second to the last word just so he’d make things clear - and he tears his eyes away from JunSu before he slips and falls.
