2. Life goes on
5th February 2014, SM Entertainment office, Japanese branch, Tokyo.
“I told you a million times already: no clubs until you can speak Japanese properly! What do you mean I’m demanding impossible?! I’ve been there and done that! Now get to work and if you try to sneak out you may forget about the tour!”
“So strict. I don’t recognize you, Yunnie”.
Yunho puffed his cheeks, breathing deeply to calm himself: those EXO brats will be the death of him someday.
“What are you doing here, Jae?”
Kim Jaejung smiled a little, making himself comfortable in the big and plushy armchair. He watched his friend closely, picking at the big dark circles around his eyes.
“I came to make sure, that you’re still alive”.
“That’s funny”, frowned Yunho looking through some documents. “Lately, I’m seeing you a lot and it’s a little bit strange”.
“I’m just worried about you becoming a robot, that’s all. And,” Jae silenced his friend. “Tomorrow is your birthday….”
“I’m not celebrating it and you know why”, said Yunho sharply.
“Like Christmas, New Year and other holidays”, Jaejung rolled his eyes. “It’s stupid, Yunho and we all know that. You should leave not only at work….”
“Nothing is interesting for me without him. I told you that before: work is the only thing that keeps me sane”, Yunho closed his eyes, stretching a little in his chair.
“You’re still mad at me, don’t you?” signed Jae.
“That was my own fault. I was blind and I lose him because of that”.
“Why are you working in the office? Are you done dancing?” asked Jae. “It was your passion”.
“Yeah,” nodded Yunho. “It was, but how can I put my heart and my soul into my dancing, when I don’t have any of them?”
“You’ve been a little dramatic here, no?” Jae tried to joke.
“Changmin was my life. My strength and now that he’s gone, I can’t enjoy anything”.
Jaejung signed understanding his friend, but also afraid that one day he just loose his mind like this. He never thought that Changmin meant so much to Yunho.
“You asked his parents?”
Yunho gave him the look that clearly says you’re an idiot or what?
“I asked them in the first place”, answered Jung, “but they didn’t know his whereabouts, only that he’s okay. That’s enough for them. I even go to Su Man-sshi, but it always hard to say if he knows anything, but he was the last person that Minnie talked to”.
“And what about Kyuhyun and other buddies?” asked Jae.
“Kyu knows, but he won’t tell me. I know that he speaks to Chanhmin frequently….”
“So? Why don’t you torture him?”
“Because Minnie doesn’t want me to know. He runaway from me in the first place and he didn’t want to know anything about me, he forgot about me”.
“Yun, don’t be stupid. He loved you so much, he can’t…”
“I don’t want to talk about it, Jungie”.
Jae signed. Again. It became a habit of his and not healthy one, but he understands that Yunho was missing Changmin like crazy and really, it was Jae’s fault.
“Yunho, tomorrow we’re going shopping and then we have a dinner at a nice restraint. That’s it!”
“What? I can’t say anything?”
“Exactly”, Jae smiled. “You’re going with me and that’s finale!”
6th February 2014, “Rising Sun” advertising company, Madrid.
“MAX! You’re kidding me!” the small person shouted to the whole building to hear. He has short blond hair with colorful strands that reminded Changmin of a rainbow.
“Why I would be joking this early in the morning?” yawned Changmin, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
“But you told me that you rejected the hottest girl in the office and that we’re changing a concept, which we must hand in to Morena in like, six hours? You must be joking, otherwise I’ll kill you with my own hands!”
“I can’t understand which pissed you of the most”, Min stretched languidly and smirked inwardly, when he caught his friend staring at his tanned abs. “And now, if you stopped drooling on my perfect abs let’s go back to business”.
“I wasn’t…” stuttered Alejandro, but Changmin gave him a knowing look and he gave up. “Not my fault that your shirt is so…short!”
“Mhm”, nodded Max, trying to hide a smile.
“Shut up, bastard!” blushed Alejandro. “Now tell me about a new concept and then you must explain why the fuck you rejected Paola.”
“I told you a million times before: I’m not interested in relationships”, signed Changmin.
“Who talks about relationships? What about sex?”
Max scrunched his face in disgust, but then decided to explain. “There is one person in my heart that can’t be replaced”. Especially with some stupid girl, he added mentally.
“I’m not talking about your heart, but about your cock!” now Alejandro talks too loud, because some of the workers threw strange glares in their direction.
“Quiet, will you?” hissed Changmin, pulling his friend to the side. “I don’t want just fucking”.
“But you need to get laid, because you become grumpy”, insisted Alejandro, but one look at Max’s face and he backtracked. “Okay, it’s your life”.
“Thank you!”
“This person must be amazing if you keep faith to him for two years now”.
“Not that he deserved it”, Changmin muttered under his breath.
“He?” Max can swear that he saw a glimpse of hope in Alejandro eyes, but it was gone too fast.
“That person”, Changmin smiled a little. “Now, when we have discussed my love life…”
“Or lack of such”.
“Let’s get to work”.
6th February 2014, Tohoshinki apartment, Tokyo.
Yunho was sitting in the dark of the apartment, looking through the window on the Tokyo’s lights and it’s never stopping rhythm. He loves Tokyo, sometimes even more then Seoul and sometimes he hated that city from the bottom of his heart, because it was the place where they fought with Minnie, before he disappeared from his life.
Yunho signed lulling the glass of whiskey in his hand. Such a happy birthday. Of course Jae tried to cheer him up, but that was impossible. Not when he hasn’t seen his Minnie Bambi for two years, not when he knows that he has hurt the most important person in his life so much.
6th February 2012, Tohoshinki apartment, Tokyo.
“Good morning, birthday boy~!”
Yunho smiled sleepily, snuggling to Changmin’s warm body and wishing that he could wake up like this every day. He kissed his neck and smiled when Changmin started to purr slightly.
“What do you want to do today?” asked the younger.
“I wanted to stay in bed with you all day”.
“That would be nice, but I can’t promise you all day”, Changmin nuzzled his head. “At five we have a recording and after that there would be a party that stuff made”.
“But for now, can we stay in bed? Doing something interesting?” Yunho wriggled his eyebrows. Changmin laughed and pulled him even closer, kissing him on the lips, nibbling gently and doing all those beautiful things that made Yunho forget about the rest of the world. But the world didn’t forget about him, because as soon as things started to heat up his phone started to ring loudly.
“See, your friends wouldn’t let us have some good time”, chuckled Changmin pulling away, but Yunho whined and pulled him closer again. “They can wait”.
“Do they?”
“You’re more important to me then the whole world”, Yunho breathed into Changmin’s lips. “I love you”.
“Love you too”.
They just turned off the phone and melted into each other, forgetting about the rest of the world.
It was one of his best birthdays, but after their fight every day seems like the earlier day. It’s just a grey reality he sometimes wants to blow the fuck up. His phone blinked reminding him of the new message. Yunho opened the message and smiled bitterly.
Happy birthday, hyung…
“Minnie…”
