"Yoochunnnnnnnn!" the girl drags out her big "brother's" name with alarm in her voice. She's stormed into the front room with no regard for what the other might've been doing.
Turns out he was in the middle of a video game he luckily wasn't enjoying very much (a crappy choice to borrow from a friend), so when he was called to his "sister's" attention he was only half as aggravated as he tried to sound.
"Yes?" he asks back mocking the girls word inflection and ticking an eyebrow.
She plops down on the floor next to him, purse, papers, and all. "I need your help."
"Oh how many times have I heard that before?" he asks smiling and rolling his eyes in sarcasm.
"'Chun this is serious!" she insists.
"Alright, what is it?" he asks becoming sober again while tossing his wireless game controller to the side.
The girl shifts to sit Indian style as she clasps a hand to the back of her neck. She asks the question more to the floor than the person next to her, "How do I....how do I-"
"-get the grass stains out of your jeans?" Yoochun offers when he sees her obvious struggle.
"No!" she squeals slapping his arm lightly.
"Then what is it?" he pries calmly. "You know you can tell me, and besides you asked." he says pointing in her direction with a smile. "Oh, and you distracted me from a pretty crappy video game, so you've even given me time to answer!"
"Oh, alright!" the girl answers wacking the air absently.
"Moment of truth, then?"
"Yeah, okay." she pauses still before nearly blurting, "How do I get a guy to like me?"
There's not even an appropriate pause before Yoochun begins to chuckle and tease, "Awww, look who's growing up!" he reaches out to pinch one of her cheeks for emphasis but she slaps it away.
"Not funny! I'm in a crisis here!"
"Well what exactly brought this on?" his composed demeanor on again.
"Well how it always happens- how it would happen with anyone!"
"Well would it be too much to ask for a few characteristics of this someone?" he asks, control in his voice but bright, childlike teasing obviously behind his eyes.
She wasted no time and figure she might as well spill before she decided to run away. "Well I saw him today on the soccer field..."
"Since when do you watch soccer?" he can't help but interject.
"I don't! I just saw this guy: I was coming from my last class at the university and decided to cut through the soccer field, but noticed a game going on between what looked like a group of friends, and before I could relay back to the original path I was taking, I saw this guy..."
"and what made him so special?" eyebrow ticked and interest and mocking still behind his eyes.
"Well he was....short."
"That's why you noticed him??" Yoochun actually sits forward, mouth open with laughter.
"Shut up! I noticed him because he was....my size."
"Short?"
"'Chun!!" the girl whined! "Do you want me to finish or not?"
"No, no, continue!" he encourages, sitting back, his fingers up to his mouth hiding the smiling laughter that still remained.
"Well anyway! He had a smaller stature and....he was perfect. He was so happy. I could hear him laughing across the field. And that laugh was just...." she can't help but stop to smile, "Infectious."
"I see..."
"Yeah...but so their game couldn't have lasted for more than five or ten more minutes, but it seemed like they had been going almost all afternoon anyway. So I saw the guys catching their breath, getting their stuff, and then heading my way. And I saw him grab the soccer ball. I was so scared I ducked by the bleachers and acted like I had something in my shoe as they passed, but just when I thought I was safe....I looked up at the wrong time and- and, our eyes met. He didn't say anything, and it was by chance. But he was dusting some grass off his shirt and running a hand over his short hair, and as he was looking down, I looked up."
"Ah, love at first sight I see." Yoochun commented, sarcastic as always.
"Yeah, well whatever. Point is, I couldn't forget him if I tried. Now," she paused and looked at him and commanded more than asked, "tell me what guys like him like. I need to know."
Yoochun only smiles and covers his face, letting his head hang back. "Ugh, well lil sis, you're in luck."
"Am I?" she asks, the hope in her eyes springing up.
"Don't get too excited and attack me when i tell you this, but...I know him. His name's Junsu."
The scream Zoe lets out seems to be heard around the world for that moment in time.
She grabs Yoochun by the shoulders and spews, "Tell me everything about him!"
Yoochun can only look square in her face and laugh like there's no tomorrow.
'Girls.' he thought. 'Junsu doesn't know what he's in for.'
And like he does every time, Yoochun takes her under his wing.
