stray pigeons, old apartment
Jaejoong / Yoochun

I miss writing drabbles :)
Yoochun sometimes feeds stray pigeons in front of his apartment until they stop being strays and keep coming back for food. One day he ties a piece of paper to one pigeon’s leg. It says ‘Do you love me?’ in a messy handwriting. The pigeon flies away and returns one day later with a reply, ‘Are you stupid?’ Yoochun laughs. He doesn’t give up on this random game of finding the love of his life and he still receives answers but apparently from different people and different parts of the city because obviously these pigeons are untrained. ‘Where do you live?’, ‘Hey are you a guy or a girl?’, ‘Yes i do can we meet?’ He has discovered a way to kill time until he finds a job in this new town. But to be honest this isn’t purely a game to Yoochun. He is waiting until one pigeon returns with ‘I don’t know yet but we’ll see.’
One evening Yoochun comes back in a suit and messy hair. The tie is in his hand and the first few buttons of the shirt are missing. He sits down in front of his door, knowing that he has dropped the keys somewhere, most likely at the small street stall where he was drinking. Yoochun takes out a crumpled piece of paper from his bag which was originally the failed application form and ties it to the leg of the only pigeon he can see there. It takes off but the paper falls down because a drunk cannot tie anything properly. Yoochun laughs at himself.
“Is this yours?” Someone asks while walking up the staircase to the apartment.
“Who are you?” Yoochun looks up in the dim light of the almost-dead light bulb in the hallway. He needs to tell the landlady about that this weekend.
“I live next door.” The stranger guy points his thumb to the door just two steps away from where Yoochun is sitting. “Nice to meet you, my name is Kim Jaejoong.” He says with a bright smile while bending down to hand the piece of paper to Yoochun.
“Park Yoochun.”
“I already told the landlady about the light bulb, but i guess she forgot.” Jaejoong turns around to open his door and he suddenly realizes, “Did you lose your keys? Do you want to have a drink in my room?”
It takes Yoochun about five seconds, and he looks up. “Do you love me?”
It takes Jaejoong another five seconds, and he looks down. “I don’t know yet, but we’ll see.”
