chb: soldier of love
jaejoong-centric, implied yunho/jaejoong
humour / pg13 / oneshot
Wherein Jaejoong gets a little desperate and googles "what to do when you want to some time with your crush but he is too busy for you".
guh i missed this verse! it’s my baby and it’s been so long ;~; anyway, this was inspired by an article i read which was pretty nice and helpful. also, this particular oneshot was set in the past when jaejoong was still pining after yunho. maybe like a few weeks after they first met or something

the woman outside note: past is when yunho was a stud muffin until he found out about his condition. present is during the time when the couple met minseok and yoosu and everyone else. future is three years after that, when minseok is already eight years old... and the years after that.
past
Ever since that fateful day at the café, Jaejoong’s afternoon routine has been consistent. After class, he would excitedly go to the coffee shop for his favourite barista who, by then, would have gotten off from work and is waiting for him so they could have dinner together. During the days Yunho has classes, Jaejoong would go straight home after his and then proceed to flood Yunho with messages. If Yunho finds it annoying, Jaejoong is thankful he hasn’t said anything about it yet.
But today is different. His object of affection informed him that morning that he wouldn’t be able to meet up with him as he has a deadline to beat. The guy even took a day off from work just to concentrate on his thesis so Jaejoong let him be.
There is one problem though, Jaejoong is bored out of his wits. He is itching to grab his phone and send Yunho random text messages, but that would be disrespectful. Yunho clearly does not want to be distracted and Jaejoong isn’t about to do that. Huffing at his misery, he plops down his bed and turns on his laptop.
He searched through his folders for a movie but nothing seemed to suit his mood at the moment. Getting a little desperate, he opens his web browser and types in the search bar: what to do when you want to some time with your crush but he is too busy for you.
As expected, nothing that accurately matches his query comes up. But that’s fine, he tells himself, because there is something that catches his attention. “Ten things you could do right now instead of texting your crush.” he reads the title of the article and then giggles. “Crush. Close enough.”
He clicks the link.
i. Instead of wasting your texts on your crush, send a message to someone you love - your mom, your best friend, your sister. Tell them you’re thinking of them and hope they have a good day. It will instantly brighten their mood.
“Texting him is definitely not a waste of time.” he grumbles, but makes a move to grab his phone from his bedside table. “Well I don’t have a sister.” he says with a frown. “Maybe mama and Changmin would do. And papa? But won’t he think it’s odd?” He thinks for a few moments before making up his mind. “Well I wouldn’t really know if I don’t try, right?”
With a soft smile on his face, he sends his mother a text message.
mama! how have you been? i’m sorry i haven’t been calling much because, well, i’ve been a little busy with uni. and also i just… forget? but don’t be mad! i’ll be sure to visit you and papa this weekend and maybe i’ll tell you about the boy i’m pining after hehe oh mama he is so amazing i can’t wait to tell you more about him! i miss you. tell papa i miss him too. take care always and i love you both! mwah mwah
- your baby jaejae
Unexpectedly, he feels a little better. He supposes it’s because it’s been a really long while since he has actually sent his mother something sincere. It’s his last year in university and it’s been a little hectic since the start of his semester. He just happens to be really good at making time for Yunho which he realises makes him a shit of a son to not be able to make that much time for his precious parents.
Jaejoong sniffles.
Not wanting to mope around because of it any longer, he sends Changmin a message as well.
changminah hello! i miss you. let’s hang out soon okay? i love you
A minute hasn’t even passed and he already gets a reply that makes him want to throw his phone at his best friend’s face.
U drunk go home
ii. Take 15 minutes to draw yourself a long bath. Not only will it help relax you, it’ll help blood circulation and can help you have a night of deep sleep.
Stepping a foot inside the tub, he accidentally slips and falls inside making water splash everywhere. To make matters the worse, he bonks his head on the edge of the tub. His eyes instantly water at the pain on his forehead. He is sure that bruises will start forming all over his arms and legs as well. It really isn’t a good fall.
“This is not relaxing at all.” he whispered through his tears.
iii. Organise your closets or a messy space you’ve been meaning to clean up. De-cluttering and cleaning will help ease your anxiety and make you feel more productive at the end of the day.
Jaejoong gapes at his already organised closet and sighs. “Nothing to do here.”
iv. Go running or find a community/low-cost yoga class to go to. If you’ve been thinking about joining a gym go visit the different gyms in your area. Many times they gave free passes for a week or two for you to try them out.
He stares at his laptop screen and then stares some more before scrolling down.
“Nope.”
v. Listen to the albums you were obsessed with as a teenager. Channel your inner 13-year-old.
Holding on to his hairbrush like a mic, he clears his throat, presses play and then starts singing. “Oh baby can’t you see that everything you do! Everything that you do…” he winks at Yunho’s picture on his laptop he has set as his wallpaper. “Makes me wanna go ooh ooh…” A few hip thrusts here. “Aah aah…” Some more hip thrusts there.
“Everything you say! Everything that you say makes me wanna go ooh ooh aah aah!” He does a shoulder shimmy pointing at Yunho’s picture every once in a while blowing it a few kisses. “My mind is spinning around and around-”
He spins around for a more dramatic effect but it doesn’t go well as planned. With a loud cry, he falls on the floor clutching on to his painful ankle.
vi. Get dressed up and take yourself out on a date. Go to the movies, a used bookstore, your favourite place to eat - whatever it is you love to do, do all of them within a 5 hour period.
“Well how the fuck am I supposed to go anywhere with a sprained ankle. Dumbass.”
So to say, his sprained ankle has successfully ruined his mood. He angrily scrolls down the rest of the article while cursing at the writer for his series of misfortunes and then blinks when he gets at the bottom of the page and sees an eleventh tip.
xi. If all else fails, just text him. We all know you would anyway regardless of what this article says. You probably just skimmed through it hoping you’d have the will to do all these but you know you don’t. You’re probably asking yourself why you even bothered. So pretend this never happened. Pretend this article never existed and just send the person you’ve been crushing on the text message you’ve been itching to send him. If you think he's busy, still send him one. One message wouldn't hurt him. Who knows, he might even drop what he's doing just for you. All you have to do is try.
Disbelief is written all over the college student's face. And then he finally lets his tears stream down his cheeks. "Why do I make bad choices in life?!"

i tried D: really though, the title has a lot to do with the fic. like he endures all the injury caused by his infatuation for yunho haha
