Summary: It's in times when the burden of being a star becomes too much for them to handle that Yunho and Jaejoong turn to each other for comfort. But sometimes, the other person isn't there.
Jaejoong.
It’s in times like these that you get tired of being called “gods rising from the east.” It’s in times like these that you get tired of cameras, flashing their bright lights in your eyes. It’s in times like these that you get tired of being forced to sing songs that you had no choice in choosing. It’s in times like these that you wish that you didn’t have to watch what you say all the time. It’s in times like these that you wish you didn’t have to fake that smile in order to please your fans. It’s in times like these that you wish that you could stay in bed for a period of time longer than four, five hours. It’s in times like these that you wish your body could be free of pain, of aches, of tired muscles. It’s in times like these that you wish that you were a common man, still in university, studying being your only concern. It’s in times like these that you wish that you could still hang out with your friends, only seeing celebrities on television once in a while and remarking I wish I could one of them; they’re so lucky, being able to be famous. It’s in times like these that you know that the burden of being a star could never truly be known to someone not in your shoes. And it’s in times like these that you turn to a familiar set of arms, hoping to be able to forget your troubles in a few hours of intimacy.
But sometimes, those set of arms aren’t there. They’re busy, busy being the pillar of strength that holds the band up; they’re busy being the glue that keeps the band together. You wish that you didn’t understand the reason why he isn’t there all the time, but you know that if he was always there for you, everything would fall apart; nothing would be the same. So you wish, again and again, that you would be the one he turns to, whenever things get too heavy for him to bear. And you know that whenever he does look for you, either to comfort or to be comforted, you wouldn’t give anything in the world not to be here; after all, you need him and he needs you.
Yunho.
It’s in times like these that you get tired of being labeled as “Asia’s top group.” It’s in times like these that you get tired of all those interviews, all those shows that you’re forced to hide your true nature. It’s in times like these that you get tired of being the leader, of being the logical one. It’s in times like these that you wish that MCs wouldn’t force you to dance in front of the camera. It’s in times like these that you wish you could have the time to fully realize your potential as a singer, as a dancer, and not just pass the days in a blur with stealing practices in once in a while. It’s in times like these that you wish that you didn’t have to force yourself to continuously force the pain that comes with over-dancing away from your face. It’s in times like these that you wish you were just a normal person, hanging out with your friends and perhaps meeting that special lady that would make you say all the lady celebrities on television wouldn’t be able to compare to her; she’s going to be the most important person in my life, I know it. It’s in times like these that you know that sometimes, being a star isn’t all it’s rumored to be. And it’s in times like these that you turn to a welcoming set of arms that would never turn you away, even when you’re at your lowest.
But once in a while, you aren’t able to be comforted by them. You notice that he’s too busy, doing something or another that makes him drift away from you a little more. But after a while, he’s there for you again, holding out those arms you recognize as your haven. He’s the only person you allow to see your tears, your complaints, and you know that when it comes to be his turn to be comforted, you would always hold your arms wide open. And you do; you’re always going to be there for him. You know that no matter what happens in the world, one thing would always be a constant in your life: you need him and he needs you.
