Chapter 1
The morning finds all six of them sleeping peacefully with calm faces.
Quietly, Jaejoong is the first to wake. Sitting up in bed, he rubs his eyes and looks to the foot of his bed to the bed across from his where two figures huddled under the covers.
He slips out of his covers, not on the right side where the door was but on the left side- close to Yunho’s bed. Jaejoong lightly runs his fingertips over the silhouette of Yunho’s body as he slept quietly on his side. Yunho stirs, wakes up. He sees Jaejoong walk over to Changmin and smiles widely at what he sees. He gets up and stands next to Jaejoong.
The two were huddled close, facing each other. Changmin’s arms were wrapped around Min Ri’s waist while her hands were placed on his chest, her forehead touching her hands. Unconsciously in his sleep, Changmin shifts so one of his hands frees itself to cradle her head.
Yunho and Jaejoong stand on either end of the bed, trying hard not to smile. To the right, Junsu shifts and murmurs in his sleep. Jaejoong motions to Yunho with his eyes. Yunho nods, understanding the silent order. He walks over to Junsu’s bed and slowly shakes the other awake.
"What? Mm, no pancakes please..."
“J-Junsu~!” Yunho whispers harshly, trying to get him up before he wakes the others next to him.
Junsu lightly groans and throws his hands around Yunho’s neck, practically making the older member collapse onto the bed.
"Mm you smell like laundry, Xiahki..."
He nuzzles his face in the crook of Yunho’s neck as Yunho makes a small noise.
“...fresh laundry”
“...eep”
Jaejoong hides a silent laugh behind his hand as Yunho throws him a glare and struggles with Junsu's dead-weight. And here everyone thought Changmin was the sleep-talker...apparently not the only one.
In the end Yunho half-carries, half-drags Junsu to the bathroom- one arm around Junsu’s waist, the other keeping Junsu’s arm around his shoulders.
Jaejoong moves to the left of Changmin’s bed to wake up Yoochun. With a single whisper of “wake up” in his ear and a tickling on his back, Yoochun yawns and wakes up.
“Are they still asleep?” Yoochun mouths and Jaejoong nods. Yoochun gets up and rests a hand on Jaejoong’s shoulder.
“It was about time...about time...” he says softly, Jaejoong nodding in agreement.
After so much sadness, drama, finally a time of peace. The two also walk off to the bathroom, leaving the youngest pair to sleep a little more in the room.
Changmin stirs, cracks open one eye. He sighs softly. 'Good god...and here I thought they would stare down at me forever. Well that was uncomfortable.'
He looks up at the ceiling, the room well lit by the sun's rays, eyes traveling down to finally rest on Min RI's face, so close to his. He smiles.
The hand on her waist moves to lightly trace her eyelashes, feeling them blink and jerk under the touch, down her cheek, her lips. He pokes the tip of her nose and says softly, "Come on, wake up. Don't want the others to think we're doing unspeakable things so early in the morning."
Min Ri shifts and mumbles, closing her eyes tighter. Changmin's breath hitches as her arms go to wrap around his waist as she buries her face in his chest, murmuring, "Just five more minutes."
Changmin swallows hard as his hand shakily goes to pat her hair.
"Come on you silly girl, wake up or I'm never going to want to get off this bed." His hands find her ribs and start tickling. He sees her smile, squirm, then slowly move away from the tickling to sit up, stretching and rubbing her eyes.
"Wha-what?" she cracks open her eyes at a grinning Changmin. "Why the Cheshire cat grin?"
"Was I a comfortable enough pillow for you?" he expects her to blush and swat him, hiding her emotions.
To his surprise, she smiles and, blinking sleepily says, "Yes. So much more comfortable than the couch." And she lifts a finger to touch the tip of his nose.
Changmin smiles, opens his mouth to answer back but hears noises coming from the living room. It sounded like Yunho was on the phone, most likely with their manager.
“...of course...alright. I mean, it is our job to do this so there’s not much we can say on this matter...”
Changmin’s demeanor suddenly changes. As much as he would love to lay there, he had to face real life outside that door.
Jerking his head towards the door, both of them get up and open it. Sure enough, Yunho was pacing up and down the living room in the middle of a conversation with the manager while Jaejoong was rummaging in the fridge. Yoochun sat on the couch, head following Yunho’s pacing while Junsu sat at the kitchen table keeping Jaejoong company. All three were quiet, trying to listen to what the leader was saying over the phone.
"Alright, I will inform the others and discuss it, since this is important and we’ve got to get ready so quickly...”
Changmin and Min Ri go and wash up. By the time they come out the other four men are all sitting on the couch, talking in low tones.
“What’s wrong? What did the manager want?” Changmin speaks up.
The others look up at him.
“He called us to let us know that for the next month we’re going to be doing promotions...” Yunho stated.
“-in Japan” Jaejoong nodded.
“The entire month??” Changmin’s voice raises incredulously.
Yoochun sighs and hangs his head heavily. Thumb and finger reach to massage his temples. “What we’re discussing now is how to arrange everything for the flight...departing tonight.”
“Wh-wh-what” Changmin stutters, already wishing he were back in bed, still asleep.
Junsu speaks up. “I’ve talked to Jin Jeong ssi and she agreed since she’s close with the manager, she’ll work something out and she will come along with us to Japan for the month.”
“But wait a minute-” Changmin starts to say, motioning to Min Ri standing next to him, frozen.
Jaejoong jumps in finishing Changmin’s thought, “We don’t know what Min Ri feels about all this”
Five pairs of eyes look at her. Under past circumstances she would have squirmed and felt uncomfortable but now she takes a deep breath.
“If you guys are going to Japan for the month, how can the assistant artist stay behind?” she grins. The others seem to sink with relief into the couch.
“And besides, only yesterday have things finally changed, it wouldn’t be right for me to stay in one place and you in another” this she addresses to Changmin, poking his chest playfully as he stares back, stupefied.
Yoochun guffaws. “Don’t look so shocked man! You love her for a reason, right?” he says in English.
Changmin meets his eyes and grins. “Yes...you are going to come with us even if I’d have to drag you” and he suddenly picks Min Ri up.
“WHAT-AHH AHH AHH PUT ME DOWN, PUT ME DOWN!” she shuts her eyes as Changmin twirls her around in a circle.
“Oh my god, look at that sappy couple” Jaejoong jokes to Yunho sitting beside him. Junsu guffaws at something Yoochun's whispered in his ear and claps his hands. Yunho smiles, shaking his head.
But soon his smile falters as he wonders how tonight’s flight will go.
