««««« Rewind.
When Lee Taesung opened the door to greet the electrical engineers’ chief he thought nothing about it except Wow, that’s a smile.
“You-You know?”
“More like U-Know, actually,”' the smiling man corrected him shaking his hand, even when Taesung didn’t hear the difference.
“Like... You-know,” he tried again barely noticing how a whole group of four other people, all dressed in dark blue overalls, entered his house.
“U-Know.”
“Iuuu nouh?”
“U-Know!”
“Sure.”
That was answered with a bigger smile.
“We better start to work,” U-Know said looking around the living room while his men moved around a few heavy looking toolboxes. “Where's the electric room?”
Taesung blinked a bit before answering. The smallest guy had a really, really eye-catching butt; even a straight man would have noticed it.
“Follow me,” he replied speaking to U-Know. “It’s in my office”.
U-Know nodded before gathering his workers. All of them took a toolbox, all of them acting as if the weight was nothing. Probably used to it, judging by the almost-neutral-but-grumpy face from the really tall one, and followed them over the hall.
Taesung opened his office door and let them all in. In a second, the crew moved studying the wall and wires like pros. Well, that was exactly why he called them. Everybody recommended DongBangElectronics.
He didn’t even need to point out where the damned electric box was, the one with a pony tail found it right away in the wall next to his desk and library. He grinned. Yes, quality. He paid quality.
“How is it, Micky?” U-Know asked looking to the pony tail boy. It’s Micky from now, then.
Micky snorted. “Now I know why you called all of us. This is serious. Max?”
Max was the tall one. Noted.
“Are you kidding me?” He said with a frown after studying the electric box. “U-Know, what the hell? I told you I don’t want to play with thing kind of complicated stuff anymore.”
U-Know actually lost the smile to sigh.
“That’s why I bring Xiah, ok? Relax a little.”
Taesung saw then how the booty boy rolled his eyes and approached the electric box, not without shoving Max hard out of the circle. Max grinded his teeth, threw an angry look at U-Know and then went to their toolboxes again, helping the pretty one to put out a few electrical things.
Taesung raised an eyebrow in amusement. What an interesting crew. U-Know looked him in apology and kept checking some papers in a folder.
“Mmmh. I see,” Xiah turned to look at him “You said that the TV, the Internet, the security alarm and the electric doors just stopped working yesterday night? Just like that?”
Taesung nodded relaxing a bit of his weight in his huge desk. The pretty one, the only without a name so far, stood up with a very weird gadget, which looked quite expensive, and walked around the room.
“Well U-Know, I think we'll need to do what I was talking you about in the van,” Xiah explained. “First, we fix the wires that connect this to the central elec-”
Xiah was rudely interrupted by Max’s sneering laughter. Even Taesung had to admit that was a cruel laugh. Max, aparently, wasn’t in his best humor.
“You are an ass. That’s not the first step.”
“Oh, yeah? If you’re not helping you should shut up! Respect your elders, dongsaeng”, Xiah replied with an angry face. Just besides him, Micky’s eyes were shinning a bit.
“I agreed. Just shut up,” said the pretty one without looking out from the gadget that, Taesung supposed, studied something from his television wall.
“Hero,” warned U-Know with a hard look. And so, the pretty one also had a name.
All of them had very weird names, actually. Just like their chemistry, apparently. Taesung almost smelt heat coming from Max.
“Just let’s start with this part Xiah,” Micky spoke resting a hand in Xiah’s shoulder as a way to calm him down. It seemed to work because then Xiah turned around and focused his attention into the electric box, whispering some questions to Micky while pointing some wires.
“They are the worst you could ever found,” Max opined looking through a few instrument in their cases. Taesung wasn't sure if Max was talking to him.
Hero turned to glare at him but U-Know interrupted him before he could speak.
“Look, I just need a pair of extra hands here. And I told you: behave,” U-know found Taesung eyes then. “I’m sorry for this. He’s just-”
“An imbecile, of course”, Hero let them know.
Taesung raised both eyebrows now. Jum. Ok, maybe they weren't that professional. U-Know most had sense that thought because immediately made an apologetic bow.
“An imbecile, hmm? Well that’s a word I didn’t expect you to know. Hero you just graduated yourself from absolute Monkey Prince to a boor”, replied Max with a tight smile. Taesung found it a little scary, to say the truth.
“Oooh, but you like the way this boor treats you in bed, hum?”
After Hero’s recall the room went quiet.
Taesung blinked twice. His-oh God-his electricians were gay? Two of them? That’s-that thing alone made him a modern man! A very open-minded man, even! He smiled totally interested in the development of the drama. Micky was still working, albeit slower, so it was fine.
“Take that back!” Max almost shouted standing up and looking very angry. Hero wasn’t better. Both of them had tensed shoulders and jaws. Their hands, at their sides, were in fists already.
Who needed TV with all this?!
U-Know intervened just in the right time, putting both hands over Max’s shoulders.
“Stop this already! We are at work, I'm warning you! -I’m sorry, Taesung-sshi, these guys have a lot to work on. Please, don’t listen to any of the stuff they are saying. If this keeps on going I will take them out of here myself.”
“Come on, U-Know! You need to stop fooling yourself!” Xiah joined the fight on his own, electric box forgotten “I don’t know why you are defending him! He’s always looking for trouble and makes our work harder and never actually helps with anything-”
“You need me here, you asshole!” Yelled Max, now wrapped in U-Know’s arms so he couldn’t take another step toward Xiah. “You would be nothing without me! I’m the one who can actually think!”
“You need to drop yourself out of that cloud you are living, Maxie”, Hero said in a very sweet and sarcastic tone. “You are making yourself bigger than you are. Please, you are here because U-Know has pity on you”
“That’s not-” but whatever U-Know started to said, Taesung knew, he would never find out because Max interrupted him still struggling to put himself out of U-Know’s hug.
“That’s the reason why he keeps you around, girly-boy! He knows you are good for nothing except a quickie! You whore!”
Taesung felt his lips parted wide and stayed like that. The impact of the words surely hit Micky too because he moved to his left as if someone had pushed him, finding support in the wall next to the electric box, almost touching his desk.
Xiah caught Hero before he punched Max in the face.
“I’m with you! I’m with you, Hero! But damn this is not the place!”
“That’s exactly what I’d been trying to say!!”
“Why are you such a difficult person?!!”
“When are you going to understand that I don’t need you or want any of you in my life?!!”
After Max said that he almost maganed to release himself from U-Know's arms because Taesung could bet that he hit a nerve. All their faces told so. He himself was preparing to intervene when a soft cry got his attention. Micky was again in the electric box but his hands were in his eyes and his shoulders were moving.
He was crying.
“Why?” he asked in a very low tone, almost overshadowed by the cry “Why you’d never want to be with us?” Micky breathed before turning around looking at Max with a sad expression. “Why we will never be enough to you?”
Energy seemed to leave Max’s body but his face remained put. Slowly, U-Know freed him.
“You’ll never gonna be enough...” he answered, “Because I never wanted any of you. And I never will. Never.”
Taesung felt his lungs screaming for air and just then he realized that he had stopped breathing. That was an honest and cruel confession. Such a cold heart, that boy was. And... That meant they were all together?! Taesung didn’t know if he was that modern. But man, what a history.
Micky’s tears reappeared after that. Xiah dedicated Max a dirty look just at the same time that U-Know walked to Micky and hold him tight against him.
“We don’t want you either,” Hero said with his hands still in fists. “Maybe at the beginning but we don’t want you now.”
Max ceased to hold his gaze and glued his eyes to Taesung’s Persians rug. A heartbeat later, Max spat a goodbye and went through the door without looking back at his old companions. He also let them know that he knew the way out.
Micky’s cries found a shelter in U-Know’s shoulders while they all watched Max disappeared. Back to reality, Taesung observed then how all his electricians looked very sad. Without saying a word but after a long glance, Xiah and Hero started to pick up their instruments in the toolboxes while U-Know, holding a still crying Micky, turned to look at him.
Before speaking, U-Know cleared his throat showing his discomfort.
“We... We are very sorry for all of these, Taesung-sshi. We all are,” he sighed hugging Micky even tighter. “I am sorry that... It seems that we are not going to help you with your problem but,” another sigh, “I made sure to call Kim-sshi so he can call another team to fix your electric problem. Today, of course.”
“Well, I can see that your crew is not up to work”, he answered. Actually, Taesung was very surprised, especially with Micky. He looked so manly and strong but right there he seemed reduced to a very frail and trembling body.
“I am very sorry for the inconvenience and all the troubles...” U-Know said after Xiah and Hero finished the task of pick every instrument and they headed to the door. “I’ll make sure to apologize in another way next time you call us. Again, we are sorry.”
By now, Micky’s cries were very silent and he was hugging U-Know back as if his life depended on it. Taesung accompanied them to the door and said his goodbye.
What an interesting morning. He thought he would be all the time watching ugly men working in his office while he actually looked over his computer and personal paperwork so nobody could go through them. Instead, he got to watch a fight between gay men! Now, that’s a good reality show. What a morning indeed. He couldn’t wait to tell his associates about it.
“Kyuhyun dear, bring me a very strong tea. Surprise me with the taste.”
Fast Forward »»»»»
Yunho, holding Yoochun against himself because he was still in his character until he stepped out of Taesung’s property, walked faster to the main door. In the street, still walking towards their van, he felt Yoochun drying his tears with his overall’s sleeve. Yunho could have sworn that he heard a soft Oh, Jack in between.
Carefully, he took Yoochun to the driver side because Yunho knew that would calm him a little. With a smile, Yoochun climbed into the van and Yunho headed to the shotgun. Once inside, Yunho let the silence greeted him for a second before Yoochun started the car.
They drove less than 5 feet when the big window that divided the van opened from the other side. Cheers from three voices could be heard and a smile returned to Yunho’s face.
“We did it!!”
“We're awesome! Awesome! Oh my God, Changmin I’m going to kiss you! You were amazing!”
“Stay away from me, Jaejoong-hyung!”
“He’s right, Changmin,” Yunho intervened directing his wide row of teeth to their maknae. “You were incredible!”
For the pleasure of all of them, Changmin actually blushed.
“I... Yeah, well... Uhm. Junsu and Jaejoong led me well too...”
“Always the modest one, hmm Minnie-ah?” Yoochun smiled looking through the rearview mirror for a second.
“I’m not being modest, I’m being cautious, that way, if anything goes wrong, I can blame on those two.”
Too used to Changmin’s ways, Jaejoong and Junsu got their revenge in the best way they know: they hugged Changmin.
“Stop-The car is fucking moving!!-Oh Buddah, just co-Yunho-hyung!!!”
“I’m not listening.”
Yoochun smiled even wider when they heard an indignant Jaejoong proclaimed that he had liked Changmin since the boy was freaking fifteen, so fuck off now Junsu!
Yunho decided to let them handle themselves for a while. The bright light in Yoochun’s eyes needed his atenttion.
“Are you ok, Chunnie-ah?”
“Hmm? Oh, yes hyung. I think I went too far with the movies last night,” Yoochun sniffed. “Why Jack had to die, hyung? He-He was starting to live! Gosh...”
To his credit, this time Yoochun didn’t cry. Yunho sometimes wondered how Yoochun could be so weird at times. Like he had two personalities. Plus Jaejoong and the entire soul mate thing that he didn’t believed in the beginning but was quite obvious after a while. The good part was that all of Yoochun’s personalities (the very manly one, the sentimental one, the mischievous one) had his pretty skilled pianist fingers.
So yes, Yoochun could have his eyes bathing in water and still moved his fingers in a very skillful way. Thank God.
An angry battle scream stopped Yunho’s thoughts about Yoochun’s fingers abilities (because, well, they were very good fingers). Changmin was dealing with his perverted hyungs at last.
“Don’t touch me anymore!!”
“But Minnie...!”
“Junsu, I swear, if you sit on me one more time I’ll-”
“Hey, Minnie,” Yoochun said with very greasy eyes “The CD is in my pocket. My front pocket, of course. Do you mind taking off? So you can put yourself on work.”
Yunho almost felt Changmin blushing. Resisting to coo at him, Yunho took his hand into Yoochun’s overall and retired a CD, not without caressing a bit the nipple he felt under the shirt Yoochun’s was wearing.
“Here you go, Min,” he said passing the CD to the back of the van. Jaejoong’s grinning face received it.
“Such a good leader, Yunja.”
“The best for the best,” Yunho winked.
“This guy is very weird if he has all his important stuffs in a CD,” Junsu opined loudly. “Is he really that rich? He looked very foolish to me.”
“Don’t Changmin,” warned Jaejoong even before the youngest opened his mouth.
“Why Heechul-hyung needs this information again?” asked Yoochun with a raised eyebrown.
“I preferred to not know,” replied Yunho closing his eyes relaxing a bit while listenedd to Changmin’s fingers (that he could bet were very good as well) smashing his laptop’s keyboard trying to work through the CD’s information.
«««««««««« Rewind.
“Toolboxes full of electricians stuff?” Yunho asked.
“Check,” Jaejoong replied.
“Folder with the house information?”
“Check.”
“Gas in the van?”
“Check.”
“Clocked time with Kyuhyun's?”
“Check.”
“Called Leeteuk to confirm that his teams disconnected the electric wires?”
“Check.”
“Really big and secured pocket in Yoochun’s overall?”
“Check, Yunho! Check!” Junsu exclaimed rolling his eyes. “You did all that. You did it right. So stop going through the same stuff over and over again!”
“So impatient. The little details are the most important, Junsu-ah!”
“Yes. I get that. But we all checked that everything were fine. Jaejoong did it twice!”
“Jealous that I asked him, babe?” Yunho smiled.
Junsu’s reply was another smile, a sweeter and calm one.
“It’s perfect. It’s not even half difficult than other jobs we had. Stop worrying about this one.”
Yunho sighed but smiled in the end, a real and more relaxed smile. Junsu had that effect in all of them.
“So, Micky”, he started now looking to Yoochun. “How are you doing? Think you can cry at the right moment?”
Yoochun tried to smile but his eyes shone in a bright way before he took a really deep breath.
“Ye-yeah, hyung. I watched a whole set of Leo’s movies. I,” sniff, “I saw everything we have. The Basketball Diaries, Romeo + Juliet, Gangs of New York, The Departed, Inception and, oh God, and-Titanic. And then Revolutionary Road. I’m-,” he sniffed again, longer this time, “I’m ready to do this.”
A bit in trance by the display of self-control, because Yoochun wasn’t crying yet, Yunho nodded.
“Ok!” he said aloud, looking at his team with encouragement “Let’s do this!”
“We need our lucky charm,” said Yoochun as if he wasn’t at the edge of tears a second ago. This was the mischievous Yoochun.
Nice.
Junsu’s cheeks were actually a bit red when the four of them turned to look at him.
“Oh, fine!” he said with resignation, rolling his eyes a bit, a habit he picked up from Changmin.
All of them were smirking, Yunho knew. They all reached for Junsu’s butt and groped it saying good luck, good luck, Dong Bang good luck. Jaejoong spanked it. Junsu didn’t seem to mind that much.
“Well,” Yunho smiled to everyone before jumping in the van “Ready?”
“Almost,” replied Yoochun taking out something from his pocket. Yunho’s cellphone.
Ah.
“Right. Thanks Chunnie-ah!”
“And...” Jaejoong now. He took out from nowhere the van’s keys.
“Oh, yes, good thing you are here, Joongie.”
“Yunho-hyung?” Junsu then went to him and finished to fasten all of his overall’s buttons. “How is that you are so good taking care of everything except yourself, hmm?”
“That’s why you are here for.”
Junsu, Jaejoong and Yoochun smiled.
“Hmm, Hyung?” Yunho turned to a very embarrassed Changmin. Yunho knew he was embarrassed by the way he kept looking at the floor and because of the red coloring his high cheek bones. “I know you didn’t eat all breakfast so... Here” Changmin passed him a cookie then, one with a smiling face made of raisins.
“Thanks, Min!”
“A-and...” And then, to everyone’s surprise, Changmin kissed him, very, very quick on his lips. So quick it was that Yunho actually thought Min was aiming for his cheek but got it wrong somewhere.
Except, Shim Changmin never got anything wrong.
To everyone’s amazed gaze, Changmin cleared his throat and acted as cool as always, if only the red in his cheeks weren’t there they would have believe it.
“Wh-What? It’s another lucky charm!”
««««««««««««««« Rewind.
“What's the key phrase again?” Jaejoong asked looking through some paper in his desk.
“You need to stop fooling yourself”, replied Junsu with a calm tone.
“Ah. And if something unexpected happens and we need to leave?”
“It’s I’m going to faint.”
“Right. And we know everything is fine and it’s time to go when Yoochun starts crying?”
“Yes!”
“Who the hell wrote this script, Junsu-yah?!”
“Yoochun-hyung, of course,” Changmin responded from the next room with a yell. “After a Korean dramas marathon. I think he wanted the punch line to be But I’m pregnant, U-Know but Yunho-hyung made him change it.”
«««««««««««««««««««« Rewind.
“I’m... I’m not sure about this Yoochun-hyung,” Changmin sat on his bed with a worried expression. “I’ve never acted before.”
“We know, Minnie-ah! But you are ready. We have six years in this business and you have done everything excellent. You are brilliant!”
“With computers and lockers sure, but acting? I thought that was your specialty.”
“It is.” Yoochun grinned, “But you’ll be excellent at it too. I know it. Come on! I help you to go through your lines. In fact, maybe I’ll add a kiss scene somewhere for more drama between our characters and all.”
“How many times, hyung?” Changmin was blushing, “I don’t like men.”
“See you can act? I know you like to be seduced Minnie-ah,” Yoochun smirked then. “And we love this seduction oh so much.”
««««««««««««««««««««««««« Rewind.
“Jaejoong, Junsu, Changmin the three of you will act this time,” Yunho told them in a resolute way.
“Me?! But-but hyung I've never...”
“We know Min, but this is the chance to see if you could do it without risking it so much. Besides...” Yunho smiled in a mischievous way, “You know we'll lead you all the way.”
Changmin felt his cheeks close to explode.
“Oh my God Sun!”
“Horny leader-sshi!”
“I kissed him first anyway! When he was freaking sixteen, jah!”
«««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« Rewind.
“So Yunja, are you alright with this mission?” Heechul asked offhandedly.
Yunho shrugged before answered.
“Looks simple enough. Why do you need this?”
“That’s classified.”
“Hmm. Ok, hyung. It’s just that, well, since no one seems to actually know much about this Lee Taesung and the information that we have to steal, I’m curious about why-”
“That’s classified.”
“... Sure. Who’s our inner guy?”
“Kyuhyun. He knows that the information that we need is in a CD that is always on Taesung’s desk,” explained Heechul.
“A CD? Really?” Yunho looked surprised. “And it’s on his desk just like that?”
“Kyuhyun said that he wants to be modern but he’s not, doesn’t matter how hard he tries.”
“How’s that? Everyone knows about the existence of the flash drives! Why do you need a guy like him?”
“That’s classified.”
Yunho rolled his eyes before asking.
“Anything else?”
“Yes,” Heechul grinned. “Taesung likes a good drama. A lot. That’s a big opportunity right there. The drama-er, the merrier,” Yunho nodded again. “I’m not kidding Yunja. If you can make your boys to perform a Millionaire's first love summarized version then do it. He’s sucker for those dramas in real life.”
“So, he likes to gossip”
“Hell yeah.”
“Ok, so... Should I call Kyuhyun to finish all the details?”
“Sure. Just don’t call him after 11 pm.”
“Why n-”
“That’s classified.”
Yunho raised an eyebrow with a smirk.
“I see, hyung. Are you also busy after 11, hmm?”
“The four of you put Changmin in bed already?”
“That’s classified,” replied Yunho with a frown.
• • • • • Stop.

“Why is Jack dead, hyung? Why couldn’t he, I don’t know, look for another piece of wood?” Yoochun sniffs.
Junsu sighs, rolling his eyes.
“Maybe James Cameron didn’t have enough money for more wood?”
“Why Leo dies or doesn't have a happy ending in every movie we have?”
Jaejoong hugs him in that moment.
“Come Chunnie, let’s see a fashion week marathon, hmm? So we know what to buy next time?
Sniff “Boots?”
“Yeah pretty, boots also,” Jaejoong talks in a sweet way. “Junsu, you come too.”
“Why?!”
“Because you need to learn how to dress when I’m not around.”
“But, but... Yunho-hyung!”
“I agree with him.”
“So no fair.”
The three of them walk away to the movie-theater room. Yunho feels Changmin’s eyes on him almost without trying. He joins their gaze and Changmin blushes once again.
“I-I’m going with them,” Changmin stutters “I’ll work on the CD, of course.”
Yunho smiles.
“Do you like it so far, Min?”
“What hyung?”
“The seduction.”

That was answered with a bigger smile.
“We better start to work,” U-Know said looking around the living room while his men moved around a few heavy looking toolboxes. “Where's the electric room?”
Taesung blinked a bit before answering. The smallest guy had a really, really eye-catching butt; even a straight man would have noticed it.
“Follow me,” he replied speaking to U-Know. “It’s in my office”.
U-Know nodded before gathering his workers. All of them took a toolbox, all of them acting as if the weight was nothing. Probably used to it, judging by the almost-neutral-but-grumpy face from the really tall one, and followed them over the hall.
Taesung opened his office door and let them all in. In a second, the crew moved studying the wall and wires like pros. Well, that was exactly why he called them. Everybody recommended DongBangElectronics.
He didn’t even need to point out where the damned electric box was, the one with a pony tail found it right away in the wall next to his desk and library. He grinned. Yes, quality. He paid quality.
“How is it, Micky?” U-Know asked looking to the pony tail boy. It’s Micky from now, then.
Micky snorted. “Now I know why you called all of us. This is serious. Max?”
Max was the tall one. Noted.
“Are you kidding me?” He said with a frown after studying the electric box. “U-Know, what the hell? I told you I don’t want to play with thing kind of complicated stuff anymore.”
U-Know actually lost the smile to sigh.
“That’s why I bring Xiah, ok? Relax a little.”
Taesung saw then how the booty boy rolled his eyes and approached the electric box, not without shoving Max hard out of the circle. Max grinded his teeth, threw an angry look at U-Know and then went to their toolboxes again, helping the pretty one to put out a few electrical things.

“Oh, yeah? If you’re not helping you should shut up! Respect your elders, dongsaeng”, Xiah replied with an angry face. Just besides him, Micky’s eyes were shinning a bit.
“I agreed. Just shut up,” said the pretty one without looking out from the gadget that, Taesung supposed, studied something from his television wall.
“Hero,” warned U-Know with a hard look. And so, the pretty one also had a name.
All of them had very weird names, actually. Just like their chemistry, apparently. Taesung almost smelt heat coming from Max.
“Just let’s start with this part Xiah,” Micky spoke resting a hand in Xiah’s shoulder as a way to calm him down. It seemed to work because then Xiah turned around and focused his attention into the electric box, whispering some questions to Micky while pointing some wires.
“They are the worst you could ever found,” Max opined looking through a few instrument in their cases. Taesung wasn't sure if Max was talking to him.
Hero turned to glare at him but U-Know interrupted him before he could speak.
“Look, I just need a pair of extra hands here. And I told you: behave,” U-know found Taesung eyes then. “I’m sorry for this. He’s just-”
“An imbecile, of course”, Hero let them know.
Taesung raised both eyebrows now. Jum. Ok, maybe they weren't that professional. U-Know most had sense that thought because immediately made an apologetic bow.

Taesung felt his lips parted wide and stayed like that. The impact of the words surely hit Micky too because he moved to his left as if someone had pushed him, finding support in the wall next to the electric box, almost touching his desk.
Xiah caught Hero before he punched Max in the face.
“I’m with you! I’m with you, Hero! But damn this is not the place!”
“That’s exactly what I’d been trying to say!!”
“Why are you such a difficult person?!!”
“When are you going to understand that I don’t need you or want any of you in my life?!!”
After Max said that he almost maganed to release himself from U-Know's arms because Taesung could bet that he hit a nerve. All their faces told so. He himself was preparing to intervene when a soft cry got his attention. Micky was again in the electric box but his hands were in his eyes and his shoulders were moving.
He was crying.
“Why?” he asked in a very low tone, almost overshadowed by the cry “Why you’d never want to be with us?” Micky breathed before turning around looking at Max with a sad expression. “Why we will never be enough to you?”
Energy seemed to leave Max’s body but his face remained put. Slowly, U-Know freed him.
“You’ll never gonna be enough...” he answered, “Because I never wanted any of you. And I never will. Never.”
Taesung felt his lungs screaming for air and just then he realized that he had stopped breathing. That was an honest and cruel confession. Such a cold heart, that boy was. And... That meant they were all together?! Taesung didn’t know if he was that modern. But man, what a history.
Micky’s tears reappeared after that. Xiah dedicated Max a dirty look just at the same time that U-Know walked to Micky and hold him tight against him.
“We don’t want you either,” Hero said with his hands still in fists. “Maybe at the beginning but we don’t want you now.”
Max ceased to hold his gaze and glued his eyes to Taesung’s Persians rug. A heartbeat later, Max spat a goodbye and went through the door without looking back at his old companions. He also let them know that he knew the way out.
Micky’s cries found a shelter in U-Know’s shoulders while they all watched Max disappeared. Back to reality, Taesung observed then how all his electricians looked very sad. Without saying a word but after a long glance, Xiah and Hero started to pick up their instruments in the toolboxes while U-Know, holding a still crying Micky, turned to look at him.
Before speaking, U-Know cleared his throat showing his discomfort.
“We... We are very sorry for all of these, Taesung-sshi. We all are,” he sighed hugging Micky even tighter. “I am sorry that... It seems that we are not going to help you with your problem but,” another sigh, “I made sure to call Kim-sshi so he can call another team to fix your electric problem. Today, of course.”
“Well, I can see that your crew is not up to work”, he answered. Actually, Taesung was very surprised, especially with Micky. He looked so manly and strong but right there he seemed reduced to a very frail and trembling body.
“I am very sorry for the inconvenience and all the troubles...” U-Know said after Xiah and Hero finished the task of pick every instrument and they headed to the door. “I’ll make sure to apologize in another way next time you call us. Again, we are sorry.”
By now, Micky’s cries were very silent and he was hugging U-Know back as if his life depended on it. Taesung accompanied them to the door and said his goodbye.
What an interesting morning. He thought he would be all the time watching ugly men working in his office while he actually looked over his computer and personal paperwork so nobody could go through them. Instead, he got to watch a fight between gay men! Now, that’s a good reality show. What a morning indeed. He couldn’t wait to tell his associates about it.
“Kyuhyun dear, bring me a very strong tea. Surprise me with the taste.”
Fast Forward »»»»»
Yunho, holding Yoochun against himself because he was still in his character until he stepped out of Taesung’s property, walked faster to the main door. In the street, still walking towards their van, he felt Yoochun drying his tears with his overall’s sleeve. Yunho could have sworn that he heard a soft Oh, Jack in between.
Carefully, he took Yoochun to the driver side because Yunho knew that would calm him a little. With a smile, Yoochun climbed into the van and Yunho headed to the shotgun. Once inside, Yunho let the silence greeted him for a second before Yoochun started the car.
They drove less than 5 feet when the big window that divided the van opened from the other side. Cheers from three voices could be heard and a smile returned to Yunho’s face.
“We did it!!”
“We're awesome! Awesome! Oh my God, Changmin I’m going to kiss you! You were amazing!”
“Stay away from me, Jaejoong-hyung!”
“He’s right, Changmin,” Yunho intervened directing his wide row of teeth to their maknae. “You were incredible!”
For the pleasure of all of them, Changmin actually blushed.
“I... Yeah, well... Uhm. Junsu and Jaejoong led me well too...”
“Always the modest one, hmm Minnie-ah?” Yoochun smiled looking through the rearview mirror for a second.
“I’m not being modest, I’m being cautious, that way, if anything goes wrong, I can blame on those two.”
Too used to Changmin’s ways, Jaejoong and Junsu got their revenge in the best way they know: they hugged Changmin.
“Stop-The car is fucking moving!!-Oh Buddah, just co-Yunho-hyung!!!”
“I’m not listening.”
Yoochun smiled even wider when they heard an indignant Jaejoong proclaimed that he had liked Changmin since the boy was freaking fifteen, so fuck off now Junsu!
Yunho decided to let them handle themselves for a while. The bright light in Yoochun’s eyes needed his atenttion.
“Are you ok, Chunnie-ah?”
“Hmm? Oh, yes hyung. I think I went too far with the movies last night,” Yoochun sniffed. “Why Jack had to die, hyung? He-He was starting to live! Gosh...”
To his credit, this time Yoochun didn’t cry. Yunho sometimes wondered how Yoochun could be so weird at times. Like he had two personalities. Plus Jaejoong and the entire soul mate thing that he didn’t believed in the beginning but was quite obvious after a while. The good part was that all of Yoochun’s personalities (the very manly one, the sentimental one, the mischievous one) had his pretty skilled pianist fingers.
So yes, Yoochun could have his eyes bathing in water and still moved his fingers in a very skillful way. Thank God.
An angry battle scream stopped Yunho’s thoughts about Yoochun’s fingers abilities (because, well, they were very good fingers). Changmin was dealing with his perverted hyungs at last.
“Don’t touch me anymore!!”
“But Minnie...!”
“Junsu, I swear, if you sit on me one more time I’ll-”
“Hey, Minnie,” Yoochun said with very greasy eyes “The CD is in my pocket. My front pocket, of course. Do you mind taking off? So you can put yourself on work.”
Yunho almost felt Changmin blushing. Resisting to coo at him, Yunho took his hand into Yoochun’s overall and retired a CD, not without caressing a bit the nipple he felt under the shirt Yoochun’s was wearing.
“Here you go, Min,” he said passing the CD to the back of the van. Jaejoong’s grinning face received it.
“Such a good leader, Yunja.”
“The best for the best,” Yunho winked.
“This guy is very weird if he has all his important stuffs in a CD,” Junsu opined loudly. “Is he really that rich? He looked very foolish to me.”
“Don’t Changmin,” warned Jaejoong even before the youngest opened his mouth.
“Why Heechul-hyung needs this information again?” asked Yoochun with a raised eyebrown.
“I preferred to not know,” replied Yunho closing his eyes relaxing a bit while listenedd to Changmin’s fingers (that he could bet were very good as well) smashing his laptop’s keyboard trying to work through the CD’s information.
«««««««««« Rewind.
“Toolboxes full of electricians stuff?” Yunho asked.
“Check,” Jaejoong replied.
“Folder with the house information?”
“Check.”
“Gas in the van?”
“Check.”
“Clocked time with Kyuhyun's?”
“Check.”
“Called Leeteuk to confirm that his teams disconnected the electric wires?”
“Check.”
“Really big and secured pocket in Yoochun’s overall?”
“Check, Yunho! Check!” Junsu exclaimed rolling his eyes. “You did all that. You did it right. So stop going through the same stuff over and over again!”
“So impatient. The little details are the most important, Junsu-ah!”
“Yes. I get that. But we all checked that everything were fine. Jaejoong did it twice!”
“Jealous that I asked him, babe?” Yunho smiled.
Junsu’s reply was another smile, a sweeter and calm one.
“It’s perfect. It’s not even half difficult than other jobs we had. Stop worrying about this one.”
Yunho sighed but smiled in the end, a real and more relaxed smile. Junsu had that effect in all of them.
“So, Micky”, he started now looking to Yoochun. “How are you doing? Think you can cry at the right moment?”
Yoochun tried to smile but his eyes shone in a bright way before he took a really deep breath.
“Ye-yeah, hyung. I watched a whole set of Leo’s movies. I,” sniff, “I saw everything we have. The Basketball Diaries, Romeo + Juliet, Gangs of New York, The Departed, Inception and, oh God, and-Titanic. And then Revolutionary Road. I’m-,” he sniffed again, longer this time, “I’m ready to do this.”
A bit in trance by the display of self-control, because Yoochun wasn’t crying yet, Yunho nodded.
“Ok!” he said aloud, looking at his team with encouragement “Let’s do this!”
“We need our lucky charm,” said Yoochun as if he wasn’t at the edge of tears a second ago. This was the mischievous Yoochun.
Nice.
Junsu’s cheeks were actually a bit red when the four of them turned to look at him.
“Oh, fine!” he said with resignation, rolling his eyes a bit, a habit he picked up from Changmin.
All of them were smirking, Yunho knew. They all reached for Junsu’s butt and groped it saying good luck, good luck, Dong Bang good luck. Jaejoong spanked it. Junsu didn’t seem to mind that much.
“Well,” Yunho smiled to everyone before jumping in the van “Ready?”
“Almost,” replied Yoochun taking out something from his pocket. Yunho’s cellphone.
Ah.
“Right. Thanks Chunnie-ah!”
“And...” Jaejoong now. He took out from nowhere the van’s keys.
“Oh, yes, good thing you are here, Joongie.”
“Yunho-hyung?” Junsu then went to him and finished to fasten all of his overall’s buttons. “How is that you are so good taking care of everything except yourself, hmm?”
“That’s why you are here for.”
Junsu, Jaejoong and Yoochun smiled.
“Hmm, Hyung?” Yunho turned to a very embarrassed Changmin. Yunho knew he was embarrassed by the way he kept looking at the floor and because of the red coloring his high cheek bones. “I know you didn’t eat all breakfast so... Here” Changmin passed him a cookie then, one with a smiling face made of raisins.
“Thanks, Min!”
“A-and...” And then, to everyone’s surprise, Changmin kissed him, very, very quick on his lips. So quick it was that Yunho actually thought Min was aiming for his cheek but got it wrong somewhere.
Except, Shim Changmin never got anything wrong.
To everyone’s amazed gaze, Changmin cleared his throat and acted as cool as always, if only the red in his cheeks weren’t there they would have believe it.
“Wh-What? It’s another lucky charm!”
««««««««««««««« Rewind.
“What's the key phrase again?” Jaejoong asked looking through some paper in his desk.
“You need to stop fooling yourself”, replied Junsu with a calm tone.
“Ah. And if something unexpected happens and we need to leave?”
“It’s I’m going to faint.”
“Right. And we know everything is fine and it’s time to go when Yoochun starts crying?”
“Yes!”
“Who the hell wrote this script, Junsu-yah?!”
“Yoochun-hyung, of course,” Changmin responded from the next room with a yell. “After a Korean dramas marathon. I think he wanted the punch line to be But I’m pregnant, U-Know but Yunho-hyung made him change it.”
«««««««««««««««««««« Rewind.
“I’m... I’m not sure about this Yoochun-hyung,” Changmin sat on his bed with a worried expression. “I’ve never acted before.”
“We know, Minnie-ah! But you are ready. We have six years in this business and you have done everything excellent. You are brilliant!”
“With computers and lockers sure, but acting? I thought that was your specialty.”
“It is.” Yoochun grinned, “But you’ll be excellent at it too. I know it. Come on! I help you to go through your lines. In fact, maybe I’ll add a kiss scene somewhere for more drama between our characters and all.”
“How many times, hyung?” Changmin was blushing, “I don’t like men.”
“See you can act? I know you like to be seduced Minnie-ah,” Yoochun smirked then. “And we love this seduction oh so much.”
««««««««««««««««««««««««« Rewind.
“Jaejoong, Junsu, Changmin the three of you will act this time,” Yunho told them in a resolute way.
“Me?! But-but hyung I've never...”
“We know Min, but this is the chance to see if you could do it without risking it so much. Besides...” Yunho smiled in a mischievous way, “You know we'll lead you all the way.”
Changmin felt his cheeks close to explode.
“Oh my God Sun!”
“Horny leader-sshi!”
“I kissed him first anyway! When he was freaking sixteen, jah!”
«««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« Rewind.
“So Yunja, are you alright with this mission?” Heechul asked offhandedly.
Yunho shrugged before answered.
“Looks simple enough. Why do you need this?”
“That’s classified.”
“Hmm. Ok, hyung. It’s just that, well, since no one seems to actually know much about this Lee Taesung and the information that we have to steal, I’m curious about why-”
“That’s classified.”
“... Sure. Who’s our inner guy?”
“Kyuhyun. He knows that the information that we need is in a CD that is always on Taesung’s desk,” explained Heechul.
“A CD? Really?” Yunho looked surprised. “And it’s on his desk just like that?”
“Kyuhyun said that he wants to be modern but he’s not, doesn’t matter how hard he tries.”
“How’s that? Everyone knows about the existence of the flash drives! Why do you need a guy like him?”
“That’s classified.”
Yunho rolled his eyes before asking.
“Anything else?”
“Yes,” Heechul grinned. “Taesung likes a good drama. A lot. That’s a big opportunity right there. The drama-er, the merrier,” Yunho nodded again. “I’m not kidding Yunja. If you can make your boys to perform a Millionaire's first love summarized version then do it. He’s sucker for those dramas in real life.”
“So, he likes to gossip”
“Hell yeah.”
“Ok, so... Should I call Kyuhyun to finish all the details?”
“Sure. Just don’t call him after 11 pm.”
“Why n-”
“That’s classified.”
Yunho raised an eyebrow with a smirk.
“I see, hyung. Are you also busy after 11, hmm?”
“The four of you put Changmin in bed already?”
“That’s classified,” replied Yunho with a frown.
• • • • • Stop.
Play ►►►►►
“Why is Jack dead, hyung? Why couldn’t he, I don’t know, look for another piece of wood?” Yoochun sniffs.
Junsu sighs, rolling his eyes.
“Maybe James Cameron didn’t have enough money for more wood?”
“Why Leo dies or doesn't have a happy ending in every movie we have?”
Jaejoong hugs him in that moment.
“Come Chunnie, let’s see a fashion week marathon, hmm? So we know what to buy next time?
Sniff “Boots?”
“Yeah pretty, boots also,” Jaejoong talks in a sweet way. “Junsu, you come too.”
“Why?!”
“Because you need to learn how to dress when I’m not around.”
“But, but... Yunho-hyung!”
“I agree with him.”
“So no fair.”
The three of them walk away to the movie-theater room. Yunho feels Changmin’s eyes on him almost without trying. He joins their gaze and Changmin blushes once again.
“I-I’m going with them,” Changmin stutters “I’ll work on the CD, of course.”
Yunho smiles.
“Do you like it so far, Min?”
“What hyung?”
“The seduction.”
