PCL Summary: Because of wanting to help his lover's business to grow again, Park Yoochun; a mad scientist had created a new discovery again. He experimented and used his scientific abilities to formulate an artificial human being. It was created to the people who are having difficulties in finding their ideal partner in life. Project: Choosey Lover is still unknown to the public because it's currently on the process of testing, and the first one who benefited his creation was his bestfriend; the workaholic Jung Yunho. He knows that Yunho is still single so he decided to give him his first creation as a birthday present. Yunho thinks that this is a great distraction. A ONE HELL GREAT DISTRACTION.
---
Sitting on his office chair, Yunho examined the two necklaces on his hand. Jaejoong's necklace was still fine as ever, while his childhood necklace was broken. Instead of being mad about this, his lips curled into a crescent smile.
The memories that happened last night was still lingering on his mind. It was so vivid that he could already imprint it on his mind for years. The warmth he felt when he was hugging Jaejoong was still present on his senses. He smiled more on his reminiscence. Ooohh, that rhymes.
Suddenly, Changmin barged into his office without even knocking. "Yahh, Jung. Have you signed the mid-year financial report?" He asked, hands gripping some documents. "Ahh, yeah. Here it is." Yunho answered without looking at him, tapping his other hand on the folder lying on his desk.
"Whoa. Jung, is that a smile on your lips?" Changmin teased as he saw Yunho smiling upon looking at the two necklaces. "Wait, did you just removed your childhood necklace?" Changmin walked closer and looked at the broken golden necklace. "Something happened to the necklace. It's alright, I'll just bring it to the jewerly shop to have it fixed." He smiled again.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is this true? The very moody Jung Yunho is very happy today. Why?
Jaejoong seemed to have stirred something in him. MAYBE.
Lunch came. After he had his lunch, he went to the jewerly shop for the repair of his necklace. As he roamed around the store while waiting, his eyes caught this wonderful silver necklace that has a star pendant on it. It has tails, implying that it's a falling star. When the ray of light striked through the pendant, the diamond winked at him. It was so elegant yet playful, just like how Jaejoong was.
"How much is it?" Yunho inquired to the sales lady as he pointed on the necklace. "It costs about fifty thousand bucks, sir."
Wow, that was a big one.
"May I see it?"
The sales lady gladly handle the necklace to Yunho. Grasping it on his hand, he caressed the whole necklace. The sales lady continued on her sales talk but Yunho was obviously not listening on her explanations. His attention was only focused on the necklace. Should he buy it for Jaejoong, to make up for the fragile necklace?
Finally, he made up his mind. He doesn't care about how much is it, he's going to buy it.
"I'll--"
"I'll buy it."
That familiar voice..
Yunho spun around to see the strikingly handsome TOP standing behind him. TOP had this freaking smirk plastered on his face as he purchased the said necklace. The saleslady deducted money from the credit card of the said male and slid the box into a nice package. "I believe we have met each other before. Through Jaejoong?" TOP said as he took the nicely wrapped package. What a husky voice he had.
"Ahh, yeah. I remember you." Yunho nonchalantly replied, wanting to end the conversation immediately. He already hated his guts the first time he met him. He can sense trouble enamating from this guy. "Sorry for purchasing it first. I already saw this necklace and I've been wanting to buy it for so long." TOP turned to the saleslady to inquire more. "Miss, I believe you still have some stocks of this necklace."
"We do." The saleslady turned again to Yunho. "I'll get a new one, please wait for a while." She left the two tall men standing in front of the countertop.
TOP started out a conversation to avoid the awkward atmosphere. "How's Jaejoong?"
"How did you meet him? Jaejoong doesn't have any acquaintances besides mine." Yunho is too straightforward. Way to go Jung. Heehee. Beat this guy with all your might.
"We often see each other, I always bumped myself into him."
"Ohh, I see." The atmosphere went awkward again. Aigoo Jung, why can't you just rub it into his face that Jaejoong's yours? Ayieeee.
The two still continued standing there like freaks they are. Aish, these two. Why can't you settle things like men? You know, men fight with their fist, somewhat like that?
Without any warning, TOP dropped the dangerous line: "Jaejoong is too beautiful to be a man, I don't think he's a human."
Yunho stepped a bit. "How can you say so?" He looked very calm and collected on the outside but on the inside, he was freaking out. 'No way this guy's nailing something!'
"He.. he resembles a Goddess, a deity. But really, where did he came from?"
As the silence filled the background, TOP broke the ice.
"Forget what I've said, I should get going." TOP bidded goodbye, but Yunho was busy absorbing what TOP was implying. When the sales lady went back with the new stock of the expensive necklace, she saw Yunho was alone. "Here it is, sir.. the--"
"Lunch break is over. I need to go. Kindly charge the payment for the broken necklace into my account, and send it to my office once it's done." Yunho sternly said, the one he uses whenever he talks about serious business.
"Y-you won't avail this necklace?" The sales lady frowned. To avoid being harsh, the workaholic man came up with a reply. "I'll think about it." Yunho timidly smiled, then exited the jewerly shop to immense himself into work again.
But failed.
There's a neon sign that goes like this: 'This guy knows something'.
They need to be very careful about Jaejoong.

Karam was also doing the same as Yunho, drowning himself into work. His mind wants to forget something, for he was kinda distracted lately. He hate to admit it, but his boss and Yeonhee were bugging his mind the past few days. Who wouldn't be, when his boss kissed him two times without any permission, and the evil thoughts towards Yeonhee started to immense on his head. Last night, he was torturing himself with those thoughts and he hates it. He hated everything that happened, okay?
The door opened, and Karam saw his oh-so-tall-and-handsome--
Karam dipped his head towards the bulk of folders on his desk, fully ignoring the person who just walked in.
"Ahh~ I'm so full~" Changmin whined as he pranced himself around the room, trying to get Karam's attention. But no to avail, Karam sat still on his office chair. Changmin noticed how cold Karam was to him the past few days. No more bickering moments.
No choice, but to approach the beauty again to get his attention.
Changmin stride towards Karam's work station with packed lunch in hand. "The employees outside told me you missed lunch break." He placed the food container besides the folders. "I craved for jajjangmyeon and ordered take out for you."
With all his might, Karam lifted his head up and argued, "I'm not--"
A certain growl was heard. ".. hungry." He finished, frowning in process. Changmin let out a chuckle as he pulled another seat. "Sure you're not." He laughed. Karam had no choice but to dig into the food Changmin brought. He unwrapped the food container, stirred the black noodles with a pair of chopsticks and started munching.
At the corner of his eyes, Karam noticed Changmin's gaze on him.
'Is he staring at me or at the food?' Karam thought as he continued eating. Little did he know, he eats messily. Changmin was supressing his laughter as he sat beside Karam.
Changmin's next moves made Karam's heart skip a beat. He suddenly leaned forward and wiped the black sauce at the corner of his lips using a tissue. "Avoid eating messily, that's not attractive." Changmin smiled. Karam could only stare back, for he was stunned at the gesture. He could hear his heartbeat chanting 'It's love! It's love! It's lo--'
No.. he wasn't in love. With this food monster, kissing bandit or whatever he's called.
"I--I forgot to wash hands." Karam immediately rose up to his chair and rushed to the restroom, leaving the boss frowning on his seat.
And if he happens to harbour romantic feelings towards his boss, he'll force himself to write a resignation letter and leave Shim Global Finance Company for good. And also, to leave these feelings behind.

Jaejoong's hummings filled the whole house, as he lulled baby Cheonji into sleep. He gently cradled the baby on his arms as they slowly rocked back and forth. Today is such a tiring day for Jaejoong, for it was the first day he took care of Yoochun and Junsu's love child. Surprisingly, Cheonji didn't cry the whole time. Jaejoong bathed her, feed her and played with her without any flaws. It looks like he already experienced babysitting. The baby sure enjoyed the artificial human's company, seeing that the baby didn't make any noise when she's on Jaejoong's care.
Jaejoong could hear Yunho's car outside. He wanted to welcome him home but then, he's holding baby Cheonji on his arms.
Once Yunho parked the car on the garage, he turned off the engine, pulled the key and secured the whole car. Yunho's whole day, as usual, was very tiring. But then a breathtaking sight washed his tiresome face.
Jaejoong cradling the baby on his arms, looking very attractive and surreal. His image is like the mother's, but still; he's an artificial human. 'He's really not a human. How can someone like him exist in this world?' Yunho thought as he continued to stare at them lovingly.
Jaejoong's sweet lullabies ceased down as he saw Yunho's frame leaning on the doorway. When Jaejoong smiled at him, Yunho went back to his old self and ignored the artificial human. Jaejoong frowned upon getting this treatment.
Gently placing the baby on the crib, Jaejoong approached the said man like a wife. "You're back. How's work? Have you eaten alr--"
Jaejoong's words were cut off by Yunho's. "Don't--bombard me such questions Jaejoong. I'm tired, I want to rest." He answered irritatedly as he sat down on the couch. "Yunho, did something happened at work?" Jaejoong sat next to him.
"I bumped into that creepy guy named TOP."
Jaejoong's enthusiasm kicked in. "Ohh, that guy! How was he? I never saw him again since we went out, I suddenly want to see him--"
"Don't go and see him."
Jaejoong's shoulder drooped down. "But why? Aside from Junsu, he's the one I made friends with."
"Just.. don't go and see him, he's kinda dangerous." Why is that Yunho's voice was so stern and commanding? And he said those words as he stared at Jaejoong intently. What's wrong with this guy, really?
Upon realization, Jaejoong's lips curled up into a crescent smile. "Wait, are you somewhat jealous? Eee, my activator is jealous--"
In a split of second, Jaejoong found himself trapped between Yunho and the backrest of the couch. Yunho dangerously leaned over and said, "Just do as I say, you robot. And I am not jealous."
"Ohh sure you're not~" Jaejoong smiled at him as he caressed Yunho's cheeks. Realizing their close proximity, Yunho distanced himself immediately and scooted away. "And I am not a robot, I'm an artificial human~" Jaejoong protested as he realized what Yunho said before.
Yunho sighed and palmed his face. "How long are you planning to repeat those words? Aren't you getting bored of that line?"
"Until I convince you that I am an artifiicial human, not a robot." Jaejoong said with determination. 'You childish thingy..' Yunho thought.
Just then, the main doorbell rang. The baby was startled by the sound, so Jaejoong quickly rushed to her crib and shushed her gently. Yunho was the one who opened the door.
"Hey Yunho, my man--"
When Yunho saw who came over, he immediately closed the door. But before he could close it for good, Yoochun managed to block it. "Yahh Jung Yunho, before you shoo us away, better give our baby Cheonji first!" Yoochun argued. "Where's Jaejoong?" Junsu asked.
"Hii Junsu, Yoochun~ Come in, Cheonji-yahh's sleeping right now." Jaejoong greeted the guests and opened the door. Yunho could only frown.
Junsu approached the baby girl sleeping quietly on the crib and gently caressed the head. "How is she Jaejoongie?" Junsu soflty asked, still focused her eyes on the baby. "She's doing great. She didn't cry the whole time. We played all day and she looked adorable when she make giggle sounds. Cheonji's so wonderful." Jaejoong sighed dreamily.
From afar, Yunho and Yoochun stared at the feminine guys huddling over the sleeping baby. "Feeling envious?" Yoochun's voice sounded through Yunho's ears, grinning at the process. "Why don't you adopt one?"
"Why would I need one? You're sick." Yunho brushed off Yoochun whose almost leaning on his shoulder and walked to the kitchen. Yoochun then followed him, wanting their conversation to widen up. "Ohh, maybe because you have a baby already and that is Jaejoong, am I right?" Yoochun smiled mischievously.
"Shut up or else your face might meet this glass filled with cold water." The reason why Yunho went to the kitchen was to drink water, that's why he's holding a glass of water.
Yoochun draped his arms over Yunho's shoulders. "Chill bro~ I mean, the kids can lessen the stress you're having right after work. Cute little kids are effective stress relievers."
"PSH, I don't need another nuisance in my life." Yunho mumbled under his breath before he drink up the glass of water. Yunho sure is so rude when it comes to these things.
When the two manly guys exited the kitchen, they saw Junsu securing the adorable sleeping baby girl in his arms. Jaejoong finished packing Cheonji's things and handed it to Yoochun who walked towards him. "It's already midnight, we shall go." Junsu said.
"Cheonji baby, we'll meet again tomorrow, ayt?" Jaejoong whispered softly to the baby whose still sleeping quietly on Junsu's arms.
Yunho could only stare at the two. 'The baby really fits to Jaejoong's image. He looks blooming while he pays his attention to the baby.' He unconsciously smiled at the view in front of him. Yoochun saw that smile on Yunho's lips but decided not to tease him about it.
"Have a safe trip guys. Goodnight~" Jaejoong bidded goodbye as the two made their way out of Yunho's house.
Like a gentleman he is, Yoochun opened the door of the backseat for Junsu. Junsu and baby Cheonji slid themselves on the car and sat at the backseat. Just as when Yoochun was about to get into the front seat, his eyes caught something.
Right on the car seat, there lies a white bottle that has a label on it that says it's an acid. Too good Yoochun had gloves stored on his tool kit so he wore it and carefully picked the bottle up. He walked outside and stood at the grassy field nearby. Carefully, he took off the cap and poured a small amount of the mentioned substance on the grass.
Yoochun was astonished when he witnessed how the grass burned because of the said thing. 'Confirmed. This is a hazardous substance. A dangerous formulation of acid.'
He didn't remember about possessing this kind of formulation on his car, for it was truly dangerous. And his car was totally secured and locked when he parked it a while ago, how did the bad guys open it?
'Who the hell put this sh*t on my car?'
Right then, something strucked through the brain of his. "Wait, acid.."
Series of memories flashed through his mind, including the incident when Yoochun accidentally poured that substance to his co-scientist that goes by the name of Seunghyun.
The vibration on his pocket distracted his thoughts. He opened it and found a message from Junsu. 'Chunnie, can we go home now? It's getting late, honey.'
Upon reading this, Yoochun slid back his phone on his pocket and threw the bottle away. He then walked back to the car and carefully wiped the front seat to get rid of the substance. After assuring his safety, he started the ignition and drove away.
As he gripped on the steering wheel, he can't help it but to think of that Seunghyun.
Meanwhile, the scene went back to the place where Yoochun threw the bottle. "TCH, Park Yoochun you smarty f**king sh*t." That voice came from that direction. The aggravated person saw the empty bottle lying on the damaged grass. Without hesitation, he harshly kicked the bottle away. "I'll make you remember how you ruined me with this sh*t."
He walked back to his car and made his way out of that subdivision. The identification of the plate number sometimes addressed to the car owner's name, and it says 'TOP689'.
That car belongs to TOP, obviously.
