"Eomma~"
"OHMYGODSUN, my Cheonji-ahh is so great!" Junsu squealed as the kid uttered those precious words.
Yes, Junsu and Yoochun really did adopted their own baby on a trusted orphanage. Yoochun was actually thinking of creating an artificial baby but the body doesn't grow just like humans. They wanted their baby to grow normally just like humans. The name was indeed, cute. High cheekbones, fair complexion, pearly white teeth, cherry red lips, and brown doe eyes. Cheonji possessed cuteness no one could ever resist, just like our Jaejoong here.
Speaking of Jaejoong, he was frowning like hell. He's been thinking a lot ever since last night.
"Jae.. what's wrong? Is it Yunho again?" Junsu asked as he caressed his baby Cheonji on his arms.
Junsu don't know what happened last night. Of course, Yoochun won't tell a single thing. He was there on the nightclub and Junsu would kill him from hanging out there again. Remember, Yoochun was banned to go to such places like that?
"Yunho is still mad at me since last night. What am I gonna do?" He pouted.
"What happened last night?" Junsu inquired.
*Flashback
Once they arrived at the house, Yunho plopped himself down on the couch. "What did I tell you about work?" He grunted, palm fisting his face in irritation. "B-but you told me to--"
"I told you to find a decent job! Not just a waiter on some cheap bar!" Yunho growled, causing Jaejoong's eyes to water. He just stood in front of Yunho, still wearing the revealing clothes he's wearing on the club. "How long did you stay there?" He sternly asked.
Jaejoong continued to stare down, avoiding Yunho's glaring eyes. "T-the moment you saw me.. it was the first hour of my work." He uttered.
Glad that Yunho was just in time. He managed to save Jaejoong from those dirty hands. "You don't know how troublesome you are."
"I'm.. I'm sorry.." Jaejoong frowned more.
*End of Flashback
"What?! You worked on a nightclub?!" Junsu shrieked. "You don't know how dangerous working on such places like that! Yunho would definitely be mad at you because you--WAIT. Yunho managed to save you there? Did he go to a bar?"
Jaejoong nodded. "In fact, he wasn't alone. Changmin and Yoochun came along."
Upon hearing Yoochun's name being involved about going on a club, he huffed in anger as he put down Cheonji on the cradle. "That man.. he's so gonna dead later." He muttered, teeth gritting.
"Junsu-yahh, I don't want Yunho to get mad at me. How will I gain his trust again?" Jaejoong propped his elbow on the table, palm cupping his chin. "Yunho will calm down eventually, just give him time. I'm glad Yunho is getting concerned to you now."
With that, Jaejoong's lips curled into a crescent smile.
"But Jaejoong, do you really need to work? Yunho earned so much money on his work." Junsu changed back the topic. "Yes. I don't want to be a burden to Yunho anymore and I also wanna experience what's it's like to be a human, on how they struggle in life just for the sake of living."
"Do you want to babysit Cheonji?" Junsu's eyes averted to the cradle. "Hiring strange babysitters gives me the chills. They might harm my baby. Don't worry, I'll give you five hundred bucks every session."
"I have never experienced taking care of a baby. But I saw tutorials on TV. I watched this program on TV for mothers. They were demonstrating on how to change diapers, formulating milk on feeding bottles and even breastfeeding." His last word made him dumfoundedly cup his chest. "But I don't have a breast. How will I do the breastfeeding?"
Junsu laughed upon seeing Jaejoong cupping his chest. Jaejoong is so cute. Haha.
Suddenly, Junsu remembered something. "Ahh! Before I forget, I bought something for you when I was shopping on Cheonji's things." Junsu paused as she reached for something inside his drawer. "Where is it? Hmm.. here!"
"A necklace?" Jaejoong blinked as he examined the item that Junsu handed to him.
It was a necklace made of pink beads held together by merely a very thin strand of nylon, which looked so flimsy as if it could break apart by just a minimal pull.
Junsu grabbed the necklace again and carefully wore it around Jaejoong's neck. And because it doesn't have a lock, he knotted the both ends together. "Wow, it looks good on you!" Junsu cheered.
"It is?" Jaejoong smiled, but paused. "But I think it would fall off when I pull it with force."
"You might be wondering on why the necklace was made to be fragile as it is. It actually has a purpose." Junsu narrated. "They say that as long as the necklace is intact, you shall continue feeling the warmth of someone you love. If it breaks, the warmth will disappear and will never find you ever again. And so, you have to treat it with utmost care wherever you go."
"Warmth of.." Jaejoong touched the necklace on his neck and muttered softly to himself. ".. someone you love?"
"Yes. It's a love charm, by the way. Cute, right?" Junsu smiled. "Thank you, Junsu-yahh."
Suddenly, the wall clock beamed. It was already 6pm.
"I better go. Yunho will expect me to be home before he arrives. He might get mad at me again and I don't want him to." Jaejoong stood up and fixed himself on the mirror. "I'll talk to Yunho about the job you've been offering to me. I hope he'll agree."
Just as Jaejoong was about to leave, Yoochun arrived. He just came back from work, judging on his formal clothes and his messenger bag hanging on his shoulder. "I'm ho--J-Jaejoong.." Yoochun stammered upon seeing Jaejoong on their household. "Hi Yoochun.. what's wrong? It's as if you just saw a ghost. But I don't look like one." Jaejoong pouted.
The memories last night was still lingering on their minds. And Junsu would kill Yoochun for going on a clubhouse.
"I'll be going now~" Jaejoong said, loud enough for Junsu to hear. With that, he exited the said household and went back to his own home.
Yoochun tried to sneak up from Junsu but the wife already noticed his husband's presence. "Where do you think you're going, Park?" Uhh-oww. It's not a good sign when Junsu calls Yoochun by his last name. Whenever Junsu call Yoochun by his surname, it means that they need to talk in a serious matter.
"I think you have a lot of things to explain. You better start now Park, time's ticking away." Junsu sternly said, eyes glaring ever so dangerously towards his man.
Yoochun cringed.

Karam was peacefully having his cup of cappuccino as the reward for his hardwork today when a lady knocks into the office. "Have you seen my Minnie?" Yeonhee leaned over Karam's desk. 'Minnie? Who's that? I only know Minnie Mouse.'
"Pardon, miss?" Karam asked. Yeonhee chuckled in return as she caught her words. "Ohh, I mean Changmin. Have you seen him?"
'My Minnie? What a freaky endearment. Aish, that's why I hate mushy couple stuffs.' Karam rolled his eyes at the back of his head.
"He had an early dinner, I think. He's been talking about food the past few hours." Karam nonchalantly said as he sipped the contents of the coffee he's drinking. "Ehh? I thought we'll be having dinner together. Where could that man be? His phone was out of reach." She reached for her pink handyphone and fiddled with it.
Karam can't help it but to eye her intimidatingly. But why?
Noticing the awkward silence between them, Yeonhee decided to leave the place. "If my Minnie came back, tell him to beep me back. I'll be going now." She smiled sweetly, causing Karam's brows to furrow.
Just as when Yeonhee was about to exit the office, Karam called her.
"Wait, you forgot something."
Karam stride down to Yeonhee's place with his cup in hand. She spun around and screamed as she felt hot liquid running down on her head. It was Karam's coffee. He poured the whole content on Yeonhee's figure.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Karam snapped out of his thoughts as he heard Yeonhee asking him. "Did I forget something?" She quoted. Karam's coffee was still on his hand. "A-ahh, n-no.. forget it. It's just, my head tends to drown on my thoughts, I'm sorry. Have a safe trip home." Karam fakely smiled. With that, Yeonhee finally exited the place.
'What the heck am I thinking?' Karam thought as he palmed his face.
---
It was 9pm when Yunho arrived home. As usual, Jaejoong was there to greet him like a dog greets his owner. Ohh scratch that, Jaejoong's not a dog. Apologies.
"Welcome back, Yunho! Have you eaten your dinner? Come, I cooked your favorite!" Jaejoong pulled Yunho's hand but he pushed him away. "A-are you still mad at me?" Jaejoong pouted, eyes getting teary.
'Here he goes again, acting like innocent in front of me. I hate this guy.' Yunho glared at Jaejoong.
"I would never work on such places like that again, I promise." Jaejoong pleaded.
'I hate everything about this guy.. on how he goes with his innocent acting, pleading me cutely like there's no tomorrow. I hate it.' Yunho glared more.
The smell of his favorite kimchi jjigae was sufforcating his senses, leaving his mouth watering as he drools with the smell. Jaejoong could hear Yunho's stomach grumbling.
"Come on, the food's waiting."
Yunho could only sigh as Jaejoong dragged him once again. But the moment they arrived at the dining room, Yunho immediately sat down and started eating the food. Ohh come on, he didn't eat dinner before he arrived here. All those paperworks are driving him crazy, what more; thinking about what trouble Jaejoong would cause again.
His mind needs a break.
Dinner was over. Just as Yunho was about to walk upstairs, Jaejoong pulled him again for a talk on the living room. Good thing, Yunho isn't moody today. Maybe he's getting tired on defending himself.
"Start talking, robot."
They were now sitting at the sofa, watching random stuffs on TV.
"I said I'm not a robot, I'm an artificial human!" Jaejoong pouted. "But anyways," He turned off the TV to catch Yunho's full attention. "I found another job." He grinned.
Yunho stood up and was ready to walk away. "If you're talking about getting a job, forget it. I would never allow you again. You don't know how bothersome you are." He was pulled back again on the sofa. "Aiyaa, I'm not going to work on that place ever again! I found a.. decent job." Jaejoong said.
"And how DECENT is that?" Yunho emphasized, brows furrowed. "You see, Junsu offered me a job. It's about babysitting their baby Cheonji."
Suddenly, Yunho chuckled. "What? Yoochun and Junsu had their own baby? Where the hell did that came from? Did that forehead of a scientist created a monster again?"
"But it's true! They adopted a baby on an orphanage."
Yunho continued to chuckle. "But then, how would a duckbutt bear his baby? Through egg shells?"
Not bothering about Yunho's crazy talks, Jaejoong continued to plead. "Please? I swear I'm not going to be a bothersome every again! All I have to do is to take care of their baby."
"And do you know how to take care of baby humans?"
"Well, yeah. I watched so many programs related to babysitting a few hours ago. But then," He cupped his chest again. "How will I apply the breastfeeding? I don't have big breasts." He pouted innocently.
Yunho was laughing so hard that he was rolling on the floor. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Of course you don't have any breast, you're a guy. And most importantly, you're a freaking robot." He laughed as he gain back his composture. "Yahh, I'm not a robot! I'm an artificial human!" Jaejoong pouted. "So, will you agree?"
With a straight face, Yunho stood up and said, "No."
"Pleeeeeease?" Jaejoong pleaded with those big black doe eyes. 'Here he goes again with that motherf**ker face.'
Heaving out a loud sigh, Yunho spoke again. "Alrig--"
"YAAAAAAYYYY!" Without a warning, Jaejoong quickly hugged Yunho so tight and latched on him like a monkey that latches on a trunk of a tree. With a loud thud, they fell on the floor. "J-Jaejoong--I'm--s-suffo--cating--" Yunho can't breathe on that hug, it was so tight. Plus, Jaejoong's weight was on top of him.
"I'll make sure I'll work this out!" Jaejoong said, referring to the new work he's going to have. He's too excited that they fell on the sofa. "Alright, alright! Just get off me!" Yunho growled.
When Jaejoong was about to pull himself up, however, he stopped midway and gasped. "Oh no.." His eyes widened.
"What is it again?" Yunho asked in a pestered tone.
"It's tangled!"
"What the heck are you talking about?"
Yunho looked at Jaejoong, who remained on top of him, preoccupied with an attempt to undo something that hung on his neck. It was the necklace that Junsu gave to him. Apparently, it was twisted into a jumbled mass with Yunho's golden necklace with a star-shaped pendant. Yunho had that necklace when he was still a kid.
"Oh no.. what to do?" Jaejoong said anxiously, trying to fix the welter as fast as he could. "Aish, just pull the damn thing off!" Yunho said in an irritated manner. "B-But--"
"Just pull it off!" He repeated. "Break your cheap necklace and get off me!"
Jaejoong's eyes widened more. "B-Break it?!"
"Damn it," Yunho screeched. "If you can't pull it off, I'll do it.." Yunho reached for his necklace, but Jaejoong grabbed it first. "No, don't!"
"Aish, it's just a cheap necklace. It was just made by cheap strings and beads. Buy another one again."
Jaejoong remembered what Junsu said to him when he got the necklace.
/"They say that as long as the necklace is intact, you shall continue feeling the warmth of someone you love. If it breaks, the warmth will disappear and will never find you ever again. And so, you have to treat it with utmost care wherever you go."/
"D-don't break it.. Yunho.." Jaejoong whispered, tightening his grip on the meager necklace.
"Jaejoong?" Yunho's voice suddenly faltered upon noticing Jaejoong's softening of voice.
"It's a gift from Junsuyahh." Jaejoong said. "If it breaks, warmth will never find me ever again.."
"Warmth?" Yunho raised an eyebrow. "Ohh, so that duckbutt told you some folklore and you actually believed it? What an idiotic robot."
"I'm not a robot.." Jaejoong muttered as he continued to fix the necklace. Its beads and thin, flimsy string was wound around Yunho's necklace, whose chain was notably short as it fitted him almost like how a choker would. "Please bear it for a while, as I fix this.."
Somehow, they actually felt that kind of warmth. With Jaejoong's arms around Yunho's neck and Yunho's arms around Jaejoong's slim waist, how could they not feel the warmth of each other's bodies?
This warmth was so different, as if they never felt it before. Maybe the necklace was really cursed. And Yunho needs to break that curse before he fall deeper for that warmth.
To Jaejoong's surprise however, Yunho pulled himself up, in the process holding him in his strong arms as he rose to sitting position. "Y-Yunho.. what.."
"Let me do it. Aish, you're too slow. Tsk, hugging me all of a sudden. It's your fault again. You never fail to cause trouble." He blamed.
"I'm.. sorry.."
Yunho bent down towards Jaejoong. Hs arms sneaked up to his neck and went to find the lock. Unfortunately, Jaejoong's necklace doesn't have any lock at all. The ends were brought together by a knot. "What the--STUPID NECKLACE! WE REALLY NEED TO PULL THIS OFF!"
"Noooooo!" Jaejoong frowned. "What about your necklace? You should pull it off instead!"
"Are you kidding me?" Yunho answered. "I haven't taken this off since I was a kid!"
Jaejoong sadly sat down there. "Damn you Kim Jaejoong.." Yunho cursed under his breath.
"I'm sorry.."
"Stop saying sorry, it's freaking annoying."
Jaejoong could only shook his head.
Few hours had passed, and Yunho was still occupied on fixing their tangled necklaces. Just why the hell these two guys are wearing accesories anyways?
Having no choice left, Yunho finally unlocked his own necklace as he reached for it on his nape. Since it has not been taken off since he was little, he had difficulty twisting the lock. Losing his patience, he mindlessly pulled the two ends with such force, breaking his golden necklace apart. Then, he pulled it carefully as to not break Jaejoong's necklace. When he finally untangled it, he frowned as he examined his broken necklace.
'Damn it, my childhood necklace..' He could only heave a sigh.
"Jaejoong, get up. It's done."
But there was no reply. Jaejoong did not move an inch.
"Yahh.." Yunho said as he tugged him slightly. "I said it's done."
However, Jaejoong remained silent.
He slowly turned Jaejoong's face in front of him. Ohh, Jaejoong fell asleep on his arms.
Suddenly, he felt as if his sensations suddenly came to life. He started to pay attention to the scent of Jaejoong's hair and felt how slim he was when held close. Instinctively, he reached for his nape and gently caressed it with a finger or two.
'His skin is like porcelain.. and he smells good too..'
"Yunho..?" Jaejoong's faint voice sounded suddenly. He got awake by his touch on his nape.
"Hm?" Yunho whispered dazedly. "Are you.." Jaejoong said softly. "Are you done already?"
Instead of answering right away, Yunho suddenly grasped his golden necklace and discreetly hid it from Jaejoong.
"No," Yunho replied. "I'm.. not done yet.."
"Okay.." Jaejoong replied as he buried his face on Yunho's shoulder once again. "Wake me up when you're done, alright?"
"A-alright.."
'But I'm done already..'
He eyed Jaejoong's sleeping figure on his arms.
"Jaejoong-ahh.." Yunho called.
"Hmm?" Jaejoong hummed in response.
"You really wanted that 'warmth' so badly, huh?" Yunho feigned a smirk.
Jaejoong smiled as he slowly closed his eyes, "Of course.."
And as he said so, Yunho suddenly wrapped his arms around him and embraced him tight.
'But right now, I suddenly feel so warm.. holding you like this.. Was this the feeling you yearned for?'
In a whisper, Yunho replied, "This 'warmth' isn't so bad after all.."
He finally closed his eyes, holding Jaejoong on his arms on the sofa.
