Summary: Who knew that getting Turkish Delights would involve mental torture?
=========================
He was craving for a bowl of Turkish Delights and the many storess he went to did not have what he wanted. Salivating for weeks, he would dream of going to Istanbul just to get what he wanted. If he can fly to Thailand just to eat tom yum soup, what’s Istanbul for Turkish Delights?
His store serves a rich variety of candies that other stores do not serve. Not many knew of this particular shop as the price is rare and beyond the reach of many people but the quality and quantity served is worth the price paying for. The customers who visited his store are cosmopolitan, urbane and mainly expatriates.
Just as he almost wanted to give up, he came across a store he had never seen before. His interest peaked and decided to give the store a try. He walked through the store’s aisles, gasping at the variety of candies he’s been craving for. He soon saw the desired candy he wanted but a man blocked his way.
“Excuse me, do you have Turkish Delights?” asked Jaejoong to the other man inside the store.
“Sure. It is right behind me.” the man replied with a smile.
“Thank you.” replied Jaejoong.
When Jaejoong saw what he wanted, he squealed with glee and got a pair of thong and a tray. He took what he wanted and soon enough, it became heavy. His hands got sore from carrying the weight and decided to head to the counter to make payment.
The other man was manning the cashier and when he saw Jaejoong, he smiled. Moving piece by piece onto the electronic weighing scale, Jaejoong got impatient but he restrained himself from saying anything. He was dying to eat the Turkish Delights all for himself and the man was taking his own sweet time.
“The total weight is two kilograms and it costs a hundred and fifty dollars, sir.”
“What a price! Can’t you lower down the price?” asked Jaejoong, pouting.
“I can, but with a price.”
“What is it?”
“I want you.”
Jaejoong gasped and the other man smirked.
“Are you serious?” asked Jaejoong.
“Am I joking?” asked Yunho.
Jaejoong swallowed and thought hard. He could run away from the bad, evil, store owner who wanted to eat
him or let the bad, evil, store owner do what he wanted to do to him. He decided to run away instead.
But Yunho was faster than Jaejoong. Immediately he pressed onto the ‘door lock’ button which locked the store’s door. When Jaejoong got to the door, he couldn’t turn the knob because it was locked.
“Open the door! Open the door! Let me go!” screamed Jaejoong.
“You think I’m going to let you go just like that?” asked Yunho.
“Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!” screamed Jaejoong.
“I’m not going to let you go just like that. Because you’re far more delicious than the candies I serve here. Hehehehe.”
“Let me go! Please mister, let me go!” half-screaming, half-pleaded Jaejoong.
Yunho then stroked Jaejoong cheeks, which immediately quietened Jaejoong.
“Why are you crying?”
“Because you wanted to eat me! You bad, evil store owner!” he went on to hit Yunho harshly on the chest, hurting Yunho along the way.
“Ow! Ow! Ow!”
Soon after, Jaejoong got tired and slowly slid down the floor, sobbing. He didn’t know why he was crying other than fear. Fear of being taken advantage of by some random stranger, fear of being abused to satisfy one’s satisfaction. Fear from being fearful.
“Jaejoong?” cooed Yunho.
“How do you know my name?!”
“Because the chain you are wearing says so.”
“Oh.”
“Jaejoong, can I kiss you?”
“Huh?”
Without prompting, Yunho immediately kissed Jaejoong. Jaejoong soon got engrossed in kissing with Yunho that both of them didn’t hear the “Cut!” call from the director.
“CUT!” shouted Shim Changmin, the director.
“CUT!” he shouted again.
“I SAID CUT!”
“God. I give up. That’s a wrap guys! Let’s leave the two of them alone.” groaned Changmin. Yoochun and Junsu sniggered at Changmin’s effort as the crew made preparations to call it a night.
========================
A/N: For reasons I cannot explain, whatever stories I write, it somehow ends up as something else. I thought of combining Madonna's "Candy Shop", Christina Aguilera's "Candyman" and Aaron Carter's "I Want Candy" songs for this story but it didn't work out too well.
But when I re-read this again, the 3 songs I thought of looked appropriate as the Yunho, the candy shop owner can be viewed as "Candyman" in a "Candy Shop" with Jaejoong "wanting candy" and Yunho, wanting Jaejoong, who is viewed as a candy.
The "CUT!" scene was added as an afterthought, since I felt something was lacking in the end. Hopefully, everything went well.
Comments are welcome and loved.
