My heart's stuck in gridlock... baby, will you be my key?
/or some snappy title like that.
A Yoosu romcom (help_japan) fic for oldwillow_brook :D♥

In which Yoochun’s a corporate somebody and Junsu’s a street-dancing nobody, and they’ve got nothing in common and no reason to meet, but Yoochun’s somehow ended up stalking him anyway.
Part o1/o2 )

There are no words. I am flabbergasted. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START. OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOD. OH MY GOD. O M G. Just this is so good. I am trying not to go crazy on you and just lose my mind but omg omg omg this is so good.

I absolutely LOVE Yoochun's character. And I love that he watches Junsu DANCE/walk. Because Yoochun is right, you might have a voice like Celine Dion but if you don't have it outward you aren't worth anything. I love that Junsu has NO idea how to dress. Or that is his style. He dresses where he's comfortable. That's his personality and it fits his change of tone when Yoochun CHALLENGES HIM.

His whole demeanor changes in a second, going from guileless, quirky kid to this sudden, fierce… presence.

And then he opens his mouth, and he fucking sings.

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL. I can just see Junsu in this outfit, standing out in the street. This expensive tinted windowed car and him just singing into the sky. Like its nothing. Like singing isn't just a "yeah sort of but..." but a "fuck yeah, my voice opens the heavens."

Also, I wanted to mention how much I love Jaejoong being the musical essence in his life. And that he loves him and its intensely unrequited. I just love that Jaejoong still has the music in Yoochun's life and he's not JUST one thing in music. He's one thing at work and here's another thing at home. And Junsu might possibly be all of the above. I think that's amazing.

“…So I tell him, No, you peon, we don’t put those spreadsheets through until Friday, they’re part of the WENUS - and evidently I work with five-year-olds because he starts giggling. But then I call over Hyuk and he starts talking about the digital sales projections for the new guys, whatstheirname, I don’t know but it sounds like it’s got “fuck” in it and you know PR’s freaking over it - that’s why they’re making their lives hell, I’d bet my life on it - but anyway, Hyuk’s trying to implement these linear regression equations and I don’t think it’s a great idea, but… Yoochun. Hey. Hey, are you listening to me?”

LONG QUOTE IS LONG BUT THIS IS AMAZING AND I SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AMAZING. AND MADE ME LAUGH HYSTERICALLY 8DDDD

I tooooold you I would love it. This is so amazing. I don't want to go into too crazy of a detail because I just want to save it for when you actually post it and I can go CRAZIER. :DDDDDDDDDD

And I did want to mention that I was hesitant for awhile with Junsu. I kept thinking to myself how can Yoochun make this LESS creepy because 1. how often does a guy follow you and actually seem legit 2. what is the likeliness of him being legit even with a cool car and 3. how do you get Yoochun to not seem like the pedo and actually someone who would be you know just a little crazy but not completely crazy. BUT YOU DID IT. IT WAS SPECTACULAR. Because Yoochun took it as a business transaction. It was the same words but it had a different feel. I didn't feel greasy or gross, I think mostly because of the fact of how awkward Yoochun is and I thought maybe it's because we're in his perspective and therefore automatically know he's not greasy but legit? But I still feel like it's just him doing his job, his business. This is what he does for a living for 12 years and I think its spectacular the way you wrote it out. And the way Junsu reacts where he's just like "Is this guy for real?" and he feels the same vibe I do. He feels like Yoochun isn't the total creeper. Sure he's much older guy (not sure how MUCH older but I'd say like 15 years maybe? iddddkk) and he's super awkward but Yoochun made Junsu unintentionally step up to the plate and he makes sure that you never doubt or challenge Kim Junsu.

I think this is AMAZINGGGGG! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I CANNNNOOT WAIT TILL THE END!!

OMGG YAY I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HAPPY ;A;

I was most worried about this part because it's really, well, ALL about Yoochun. Like, you see Junsu a bunch but you do anything BUT see him LOL so it's really Yoochun that's carrying the whole peice. It's not really Yoosu at this point, it's like... creeper-centric, roflolol. Still, there's Yoochun and his Jaejoong and I'm kinda in love with them so Jaejoong was demanded MOAR TIME IN FIC KTHANKBAI and then... there he is. He will not go away anytime soon 8D

"fuck yeah, my voice opens the heavens."

LOLOLOL EXACTLY. Again it's another thing where that's the only time Junsu gets to really show himself, who he is, so I'm glad you liked it! I'll admit I was worried about making it work myself LOL, getting like 5k+ into the stalking and being like fuuuuuuuu how am I going to get them together and make it even CLOSE to plausible?? But I just kinda plowed through it, so YAY♥ if you like it and thought it worked ♥

Coffee date comes next so we get to learn a lot more about Junsu and who he is, his own awkward and flail-y parts, too :D/ They're about 15 years apart, yeah, but they fit so well together. You'll see 8DDD

As for this, I was thinking of just tweaking it (just a bit) and then un-locking/crossposting the story as it is here. Or would you rather repost so you can recomment, lolol? :D♥

Even though you don't really see Junsu or have an interaction because of the way you describe him, me as a reader sort of nods along and think 'yeah, i've had that happen.' OR ITS JUST ME. ;; I swear I might be the only one distracted by people as they walk in my car. I mean everyone walks so DIFFERENT! But no one ever dances like Junsu or I never stop and make conversation ... or stop everyday at the same time. 8DD

It is Plausible! It is! Especially because I think if you were to make this in Junsu's perspective I would be ubber hesitant of Yoochun but because we know Yoochun we're more or less, less creeped out by him and just slightly worried about Junsu's reaction. Because if he automatically agrees to something like that (a guy in a car telling you could make it big) then there's something wrong with Junsu. But it worked out perfectly. There's hesitation, and confusion and uncertainty until he's challenged and Junsu proves his worth.

IM SO EXCITED. I LOVE THAT YOOCHUN IS A LOVE SICK FOOL 8DDDD and he doesn't even know it. Or he totally does 8DD I can't wait till Jaejoong realizes that he's not in love with him anymore. THIS IS EXCITING!!

You can totally unlock/cross post it. I'm not sure what you meant by the second part. But I like Plan A!

IT'S TOTALLY NOT JUST YOU. I actually got the idea watching a couple of guys dancing on a street corner (dressed in clown costumes, WHY I HAVE NO CLUE ROFL) on my way to work. While listening to Katy Perry's Teenage Dream. And evidently my brain translates that into Yoosu. IDK WHY, INSPIRATION WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS :'D

AND omg, "guy in the car" lol, exactly. I /almost/ wish this was cracktastic enough that Yoochun could pull up and offer him candy LOLOLOL

Yoochun: Hey, kid. I have... a cat that just had kittens! You want to see...? :Q___
Junsu: /confused /headtilt
Yoochun: :O Is that a yes?
Junsu: ...Ok! \:D/
Yoochun: omgyay ;~;

...But I guess we'll have to do with the more plausible version, haha~

:DDD♥ HE'S BESOTTED AND IT'S ADORABLE. Now it's just a matter of making Junsu think he is, too! Jaejoong might just be of some help there. The laziest cheerleader ever *\o/* lol

Ok! I'm not sure what I meant, either, lol. But Plan A it is, and Part 2 is in the works ♥
