Summary: He knew it was time to accept but there is still always hope.
Jaejoong listened tentatively with his eyes shut together. His fingers drummed rhythmically on top of his worktable as he followed the beat of the song. He didn’t just listen to one song but the whole album and his heart felt a bit heavy.
He has gotten his hand on Yunho and Changmin’s latest Japanese album discreetly and had wondered how much they fared. He had no doubts that they can pull it off but after he had listened to their Keep Your Head Down album and now with their first Japanese album out, he was filled with so much pride and was very proud of them.
However, there was a sinking feeling that he didn’t like and no matter how hard he tried to deny it, he knew it was inevitable. He knew that he has to accept reality and look forward. And perhaps there would be a day when the things he wished for will be granted.
He had finally accepted that no matter how much he has been trying to get back with the duo, it would take a while before it could to happen. It has been the three of them who were always ahead with activities and they managed to take the other parts of the world by storm, released a few albums and went on two world tours.
And now, it is Yunho and Changmin’s time to shine.
Jaejoong opened his eyes as the song came to an end and he smiled contentedly and bitterly. They did very well, even with just two voices. Listening to the new version of their old song had caught him off guard earlier. They were able to sing Somebody to Love by themselves and Jaejoong couldn’t do that. He felt weak when he tried to sing their old songs and always preferred to sing them when he is together with all of them. Not just as two or three but as five.
But Yunho and Changmin did it. They sang it together on their own, without him, Yoochun and Junsu.
He felt a little bitter.
But Jaejoong finally understood.
They had moved on, whether he liked it or not and that was the reason of his heavy heart. Yunho and Changmin don’t need them anymore. And they don’t mind if it’s just the two of them from now on.
He let out a deep sigh and glanced outside his window and stared at the blue vast sky, which he has been
doing a lot lately, and darted his eyes on the album cover.
He ran his fingers on Yunho and Changmin’s face but lingered more on Yunho’s.
“La la la la la la~” he hummed softly and smiled to himself, “you already got me hooked,” he chuckled softly and let out a resigned sigh.
He grabbed his mobile phone from the other desk and quickly typed a message and he re-read it before sending it.
You guys did very well. I’m proud of you, always.
And Jaejoong put his mobile phone down on the table and started moving around to do some work for their upcoming activities with an optimistic mind.
He glanced up from the interview script he was reading for the show when he felt his mobile phone vibrated on the dresser.
He picked up and glanced at the unidentified number on the indicator box of his inbox messages. But he knew whom it belonged to.
He read the message a few times and slowly, a small smile graced on his bow-shaped lips.
He had deciphered the message and saw acceptance.
‘Don’t give up hope Boo-Jae.’ he prayed silently, ‘Please continue to wait for me. For us…’
And then he placed his mobile phone back on top of the dressed and continued with the script, with contentment and full of hope, knowing that there will be a time that will come and they will be united, if not as group members but as individual beings that mattered so much to each one of them.
___________________________
Yay my first Yunjae fic! But not the first one I've ever written because I wrote 2 yunjae's before and just abandoned them because I could not find my muse and could no longer finished them when I have always been a Yoosu writer. But at least, I was able to accomplish this one.
I wrote this short fic as my own point of view. I wanted to write what I thought while I was listening to 'Weep' (mind you, on repeat) and just had to let it out.
Thank you for taking the time to read!
