pg / humor, drama, romance
Jonghyun dies at the nickname and at any other occassion, he would've turned into a puddle of lovesick goo. But Jonghyun doesn't because he's failed to keep Jaejoong from breaking the spell. Perhaps, Jonghyun thinks, he should've tried to disarm him first.

Author's Notes: I haven't been able to write since I've started working again. This is something I've always wanted to write but never got to write it. Due to some events that have recently happened in my life, I suddenly got the inspiration to write this. Anyway, this is based on
this fancam of the SBS Gayo Daejun last December 29. I tweaked a little parts and uh, added some others that didn't happen there. I hope you all enjoy it!

Expelliarmus
Jonghyun sees him standing alone, looking at no one and nothing in particular. It's his blank look again, Jonghyun thinks as he rushes towards his sunbae with a big grin on his face. He takes his hyung's arm, linking it with his own. Jaejoong hyung, he says (like a giddy thirteen-year old) and beams at the older one. Jaejoong blinks, taken by surprise by the younger one's appearance. Jonghyun ah, he says as his lips slowly form a beautiful smile. It takes Jonghyun about a second or two (in the real world; in his mind, ages have gone by because he needs to keep that image in his mind) before he recovers and rattles on about how great the Music Festival is. He needs to keep saying something because he needs to keep Jaejoong's attention on him. Jonghyun knows all too well that the moment he stops talking-the moment he lets go of Jaejoong's arm-he'd lose Jaejoong all together. His sunbae would be staring at something again, eyes trying to be blank but Jonghyun knows that they never are.
Not while someone is reflected in them.
But even before Jonghyun runs out of things to say, Jaejoong's eyes stray away from his. The spell Jonghyun has cast has been broken, he thinks as Jaejoong's smile widens. It's a different smile, he notes as Jaejoong slips away with an apology (Can you tell me more about that later, Hyun? Jonghyun dies at the nickname and at any other occassion, he would've turned into a puddle of lovesick goo but he doesn't-not now, he doesn't.); he nods and smiles-Sure, hyung. We're having a celebration before you go to Japan, right? Jaejoong looks back at him and squeezes his arm (and he dies again); Change of schedule, dongsaeng; we're flying out after this. Jonghyun tries not to let his disappointment show but he fails because he's too damn honest for his own good. His sunbae smiles and gives him a brief hug-We'll go out next time, okay, Hyun? It's a promise and Jonghyun holds him to it, even doing that pinky promise (Jaejoong laughs and ruffles his hair at how childish the gesture it is but he does it anyway; he sings a Japanese pinky promise song that Jonghyun swears he'd learn someday so that they can sing it together) to seal the deal.
Yakusoku, Jaejoong says in Japanese and winks at you; he's already miles away before he's even hopped on that plane. Jonghyun answers with the Korean version and he laughs and corrects himself. Yaksok.
Jonghyun watches as Jaejoong walks away (tries not to add a skip in his step but Jonghyun can see the lightness in the way Jaejoong walks; it is different from the way he struts). He can almost see the way his sunbae's lips would curve, lifting those beautiful lips at its edges. Changmin, he hears Jaejoong call and Jonghyun tries to look away because he knows what will happen (his heart will break and shatter and explode like Dexter's Laboratory) but he looks anyway because Jaejoong is there.
Hyun? The lead singer turns around and almost jumps because Seriously, Onyu hyung; are you a mushroom now? Onyu smiles and takes him away; I just learned that we're having dinner with Teukie hyung and the others. And, their leader pauses (for dramatic effect, Jonghyun's sure) and squeezes his arm, Yehsung hyung's looking for you. It's Onyu's way of trying to make him feel better, Jonghyun's sure about that, and he lets his leader perform that job. Onyu rattles on about the dinner plans and just about anything and everything under the sun (or stage lights, whatever). Jonghyun listens and tries to drown all his thoughts in Onyu's voice because that's the only thing he can do.
Are you a wizard, hyung?
Onyu grins and leans closer to whisper, Obliviate.
