Summary: Jung Yunho is the biggest star in Asia. Apparently, Jaejoong hates him without any reason. Or maybe because his sisters are just the biggest fan of the said pop star and won’t stop talking about him. Jaejoong got sick of even hearing his name again.
so not your fan
Jaejoong lay comfortably on the couch with his eyes fixed on the television. Twirling the remote control in his hand while flipping through the channel, trying to find some show that attract him. He finally settles on watching Strong Heart. Sipping his can of coke and reaching a handful of potato chips from its bag, Jaejoong breathe in relaxation. It’s a peaceful afternoon afterall.
“It’s on!”
“Hurry, hurry!!”
Or maybe not.
Loud screaming and hurry steps could be heard running down the wooden stairs. It’s almost as if a herd of buffalo running around the house. In a matter of moment Jaejoong was kick from the couch and fall right on the carpeted floor.
“Move, twerp.”
“Yah!” Jaejoong yelled in irritation. He glares his deadliest stare at his eight sisters now settling on the couch, but they just ignore him.
“Shut up, Jae. Jung Yunho’s new drama will be airing any minute now.” His oldest sister said without even sparing a look at him. All of their eyes are stick on the screen, being all giddy and giggling the whole time.
“Oh, it’s on!”
“Kyaa!!”
“Omo, he’s so handsome~”
“I just love Jung Yunho!”
Jaejoong snorted.
Jung Yunho, Jung Yunho, Jung Yunho. What’s so great about that guy that everybody keep worshipping him? He’s just a normal human being like me. I mean, why must he be a famous actor and a singer at the same time? Why can’t he just be a normal 19 years old teenager like me? Of course he have a look that is out of this world- I’m not saying he’s handsome or totally my type but the point is I seriously don’t understand what’s so great about this guy. Agh!! I hate Jung Yunho! I know that it’s not really a reason to hate someone but I just hate him. End of story.
“He’s going to film the next episode in our town tomorrow.” One of his sisters said suddenly.
“No way! How do you know?”
“From his twitter duh. I’ve been stalking it all night and he posts it at just now.”
“Omo, we can go and meet him!”
“Yes! Kyaa~”
“I know where the filming location is, we all can go tomorrow.”
“Omo, what if he comes and talks to me? What should I do?”
“Pfft, why would he do that?” Rolling his eyes, Jaejoong try to snatch the remote control from his sister’s hand but end up getting a smack on his head instead.
“I’m an original member of his fan club, I follow his minute by minute twitter posts and I text him, eve-ry-day. Trust me, he wants to meet me.”
Jaejoong shakes his head in disbelievement. Feeling irritated more and more with his sisters, he decided to flee to the kitchen. He plopped himself down next to the counter, staring at his mother’s busy backview.
“Umma, is it too late for me to be the only child?”
His mother turns her attention from the pot of boiling stew and look at his one and only son. “Yes, honey.”
“Ugh!”
His mother chuckles as Jaejoong screams and wither in annoyance. “Girls,” she shouted loud enough for her eight daughters to hear her. “You are not going anywhere tomorrow.”
Strings of screams, protest and shout of ‘wae?!!’ could be heard from the living room. At her sisters wailing, Jaejoong shoots up in triumph and grin toothily.
“Muahahaha! This is my evil laugh. Muahahaha!”
“I won’t allow you to go anywhere tomorrow unless you bring your brother along.”
“Muaha- what?”
“We’re fine with it as long as we can go!” His sisters reply from the living room.
“But I’m not fine with it!” Jaejoong’s eyes wide, staring at his mother. “Umma~~ I don’t want to go anywhere with them. I’m not interested in meeting a stupid celebrity. I mean I’m sick and tired of hearing about Jung Yunho. He’s all they’ve been talking about.”
“Just go, Jae. It will be a great time for you to bond with your sisters.”
Jaejoong use his whole body, wiggling in protest, whining at his mother’s decision. “No~~~”
“He’s late.”
“Oh, he’ll be here.”
“You need to manage him better.”
“Hello, we’re both his manager.”
“He needs to know to follows his schedule and be more discipline.”
“He knows. He’s not a kid anymore darling.”
“Hey mom, dad. What’s up?” Yunho walk casually to his parent before hugging and kissing his mother on the cheek.
“You’re late.” His mother scolded.
“I know. I’m sorry, mom.”
His dad patted his shoulder and smile gently at him. “It’s okay, Yunho-ah. Your ride will arrive any minute now and it will take you to your filming location. Remember, don’t do anything weird that could attract the paparazzi.”
“Yeah, your scandal with Go Ara is still floating around. Listen here Jung Yunho, if I see another tabloid or article about you, I’m going to ground you and take your phone away from you for a month.”
Yunho gulp, saluting playfully at his mother. “Yes ma’am!”
HONK!
“Oh, there’s Yoochun.” Yunho pointed at the red Porsche parks at his mansion’s lawn. “I’ll be going now. Take care mom, dad.”
“Act well, son. Don’t get nervous and remember not to do too much fan service.”
“Yes, dad!” Yunho shouted as he ran out to his friend’s awaiting car.
“Who would believe that our brat is the charismatic Jung Yunho.” Yunho’s dad sighs as his wife just laugh at that.
The raven keeps frowning all the way of the ride. He keeps thinking if he has any sins for him to sit in the van for three hours just so they can meet Jung Yunho. When his sister stops the van by the road-side, Jaejoong’s attention fixed on the crowd of people outside the building across the road. There’s a long line of people waiting to enter the building which Jaejoong wonders why. Maybe that’s the filming set, he concluded.
“Yay! We’re here.” His sisters start flooding out of the van in utter excitement.
“Wait a minute, are you leaving the car here?”
“Yeah.” His second oldest sister look at Jaejoong with a ‘duh, can’t you see’ look.
“What are you thinking? This is a NO-PARKING zone.”
“When someone stays in the car, it’s not parking. It’s waiting.”
Jaejoong’s eyebrows rose in questions. “Are you trying to say that I’ll be staying in the car?”
“Yes, you’re very smart my brother. Now, stay in the car and don’t go anywhere until we came back. Got it?”
Scowling, Jaejoong nodded weakly. Watching his sisters cross the road and running crazily towards the filming site, Jaejoong wish that he could disappear now.
Half an hour passed, no signs of his sisters coming back. Even the crowds are still around the building, surrounding it. Another fifteen minutes and Jaejoong is going crazy. Yawning, he ponder whether should or should not he go and finds his lost sisters. He decided that he should.
Jaejoong got out of the car and walk to the other side of the road. The crowds were lunatic, he can’t see any of his sisters among them. ‘There should be a backstage door at a place like this.’ His smart thinking lead him away from the crowds of people as he stride to an alley behind the building. The raven quicken his steps when he saw a door at the other side of the building.
Yunho waves his hands and flash his million won smiles at his fans who had been waiting for him at the filming site all day. Today, there weren’t many of his scenes so he finish his part early. Walking to the backstage of the sets, Yunho grin in excitement.
“Chun-ah.” He whispers.
When Yoochun head popped out from behind one of the house prop, Yunho ran towards him. High-fiving, the two teenagers laugh in silent.
“Give me your key.” Yunho extended his hand and grab the car key from Yoochun’s hold.
“Are you sure you want to do this, Yun? It’s dangerous, dude. If any of those crazy paparazzi or your stalkers caught you running away from filming, you’re so dead.”
“If they caught me.” Yunho’s eyebrows wiggle playfully. “But they won’t. Don’t worry Chun, I’ve been wanting to do this all the time. Now that my mom and dad aren’t here to supervise me, I’m free~”
“You’re crazy, man. All of those filming, photo shoots, interviews, fans, must have drilled a hole in your head.” Yoochun chuckle when Yunho nodded with a cute pout. Who would have believe the famous, charismatic actor, Jung Yunho is the same guy in front of him.
Yoochun had been friend with Yunho since kindergarten, they practically grew up together. He remember five years ago when Yunho was first got cast by a management company on their way home from school, he was casted along with Yunho but he refuses, saying he doesn’t want to be an actor, he want to be a composer and makes great songs. He knows that the Jung Yunho that the company has created is not the same with the Jung Yunho he knows. No matter how famous and great Yunho is in every Koreans’ eyes, he is just a normal teenager, wanting to live his life on his own way.
“Can I really take your car, Chun?”
“Yeah. Don’t worry, Junsu is going to pick me up later.”
“Ah~ say hello to the love of your life and tell him I’ve listen to all of the songs in his new album. It was awesome!” Yunho exaggeratedly put both of his thumbs up whilst dancing around.
“Hey, take a look at the composer, dude. Of course it’s awesome.” Yoochun laugh at his friend’s silly act.
“Yeah, yeah whatever. I’ll return your car next time.”
“Oh, no big deal man. I’ll just take your Ferrari in exchange of my car.”
“I really owe you this time Chun. I love you.”
Yoochun snorted. “Just stay away from the paparazzi, kay. Now use the emergency stairs and you’ll find a door once you reach the lowest floor. I’ve parks my car outside.”
“Okay.” High-fiving for the last time, Yunho make his way to the emergency stairs, cautious as he’s afraid one of the staffs would see him. He safely went down the stairs and just like what Yoochun said, there’s a door that will lead him to the outside world. In extreme anticipation, Yunho push the door hard.
THUD!
“Aow!”
‘Okay, that wasn’t part of the plan.’
He quickly peeks behind the door and practically yelp in frantic when he saw a guy lying on the ground. When the guy turns his head, Yunho was struck at the sight of him. His flawless face enter Yunho’s vision and stuck at his heart which is not a good thing at the moment to admire someone’s face when the said someone is lying on the ground in pain.
“O my God, did I hit you?” Yunho tried to help the guy stands up but his hands were push away harshly.
“No, the door hit me by itself!” The raven replies sarcastically as he get up and stands on his two foot.
“This is not good.” Yunho mumbles.
“For you or for me? Cause right now it is a lot more worst for me.”
“This is really not good.”
“Hey, wait. “ The raven tilts his head as he stares at Yunho’s panic face. “You’re Jung Yun-“
Yunho quickly cover his mouth. His eyes went wild, looking all around the alley for any signs of other human being or cameras. “I’ll give you two tickets for my new movie if you don’t scream my name.”
The raven push Yunho’s hands away. “Why would I want to scream your name? I’m not your stupid fan and I don’t want to see your stupid movie. Aow~” He rubs the sore spot on his head and cringe in pain.
“Okay, I need to get you to a doctor.” Yunho grab for the raven’s hands and drag him along forcefully with him to Yoochun’s car.
“Come on.”
“What about my sisters?”
“What sister?”
“My eight older sisters, they’re in the building.”
“We’ll think about it later, kay. Now, get in.”
The raven blindly follows Yunho and get in the Porsche without any further questions. Apparently his throbbing head makes his mind daze and can’t think straight at the moment.
“What’s your name?” Yunho ask as they finally settle down in the car.
“Jaejoong.”
“Well, nice to meet you Jaejoong.” He smiles at his new found friends.
“Whatever.”
Yunho helps Jaejoong to get in the car. He was glad that there’s nothing serious happen to Jaejoong’s head. The doctor was very nice and he even promises to keep a secret of their little meeting.
“Just take me home.” Jaejoong sigh weakly as he sinks onto the leather chair. He leans his head against the window, staring at the steam forming on the glass as he breathes out.
“Okay, I will.” Yunho starts the engine and adjust the backview mirror when he notices a suspicious looking black BMW behind his car. Then he saw the BMW’s driver window steer down, a guy wearing black sunglasses appear with a camera in his hand. “Oh shit!”
He is definitely in shit. Yunho can already see the headline of tomorrow’s news, ‘Jung Yunho’s and mysterious guy’s hospital date’. The rumor about him being gay and the fact that Jaejoong is a pretty guy, will just make the matter worst.
He steps on the accelerator, not caring anymore if he attracts those guys in BMW’s attention. Jaejoong almost bump his head against the car headboard when Yunho speed up suddenly, luckily his fast reflex skill save his head from being abuse again.
“Yah! Are you trying to kill me?”
Yunho ignore the yell and focus on the road, seldom looking back to see of the BMW is still trailing behind them. He needs to run away from them at any cost. After a sharp corner, Yunho take a turn to his left, driving through an isolated, uncivilized road. They were basically jumping around in the car as they drive along the stoned, narrow road.
“Are you sure this is safe?” Jaejoong asks out of concerns. His knuckles turn white as his hands hold tightly at the side of the seat.
“Pretty sure.” Yunho drive along the road, not caring for where there’re going as long as they lost the paparazzi.
“I’m pretty sure it’s not.”
“Just calm down, okay.”
“I don’t want to calm down, I wanna go home, okay.” He throws an empty plastic bottle at Yunho out of annoyance and it hit the brunette perfectly on his head.
“Aow! What is wrong with you?”
“What is wrong with me? Nothing. Nothing! I’m looking forward to be grounded until I’m thirty!”
“Oh, is that why you’re so crabby?”
“I’m not crabby.” Jaejoong quickly protest.
“Oh not crabby, defensive.” Yunho retort.
“I am not defensive.”
“See, you disagree with everything I said.”
“Do not!”
“Do to!”
“Just take me home!”
“I will!”
Jaejoong ‘humph’ in irritation. He throws his gaze outside the window, looking at the rows of bushes along the road.
Yunho inhale a deep breath, trying to calm down. He glances at the car side mirror and notice that there’s no car behind them. “I think we lost them.”
“Yippee.” Jaejoong cheer cynically.
Yunho just sigh. “I’ll take you home-“
POWW!
“Oh no, that doesn’t sound good.”
The car slow down and come to a stop. Yunho quickly get out of the car. He screams in frustration as he sees one of the back tire flat out. It must have pricked some sharp stones on the road.
“Now what?” Jaejoong steps out, glaring at Yunho.
“I don’t know.”
“Just change the tire or something.”
“I don’t know how to change a tire.”
Jaejoong snorted. “You stop a moving train with one hand, makes million of girls faint with one smile, fights hundreds of bad guys but you can’t change a tire? So much for the great Jung Yunho.”
“Like you know how to change a tire.” Yunho mockingly argue.
“What’s that suppose to mean?”
“It means you’re such a know-it-all.”
“A what?”
“A know-it-all. You’re the queen of snap judgment.”
“Queen? Are you trying to say that I look like a girl?” Jaejoong brows scrunch in furious as he stares directly in Yunho’s eyes. Daring him to continue.
“Yeah! You look like a girl, you talk like a girl, you nag like a girl, you scream like a girl and you whine like a girl!”
Jaejoong’s eyes wide in shock. That’s it! This is too much! He slams the door of the Porsche with a loud bang! causing Yunho to flinch slightly at the sound. Stomping his foot angrily, he starts to walk away.
“Hey, Jaejoong. Where are you going?” Yunho watch as the raven march along the road with a frown on his face. He ran to catch up with Jaejoong and manage to walk side by side with him. “Are you okay?”
“Now you care?”
“Look, I’m sorry and I’ve always been concern.”
“Maybe you should stop concerning.”
“Why are you so grumpy?”
“I’m not grumpy, or cranky, or crabby. I just want to get home to my family and explain why I disappear and suffer the consequences.”
“You know what I want? I want to have fun.” Yunho smiles with dreamy eyes. “First time in years. There’s no reporters, no interviews, no crowds. I’m having a great time. I want you to stop complaining so I can enjoy it!”
Jaejoong halt his steps and smirk at Yunho. “Wow, so that’s what it’s like with you. You don’t get what you want so you throw a big all tantrums and walk away? Oh, I bet your friends chase after you when you do that. Bohoo~ ‘Yunho, sorry for hurting your feelings. Yunho, sorry for not treating you like a big, enormous star’. Just because you’re good looking and very hot, you think you can get away with anything? You’re such a brat.”
Yunho sighs heavily for the hundreds time today. He stands in front of Jaejoong, staring deep in his eyes. “I’m a brat? Oh, I’m a brat? Then what about you, huh?”
“Me?”
“Yeah. I’ve been thinking about you all the time today.”
“Really? So all this time, when you hit me with a door on my head, almost killing me in a car accident, bringing me here to the middle of nowhere and saying that I look like a girl, that was you being thoughtful?!”
“Yes.” Yunho nodded innocently.
“Jeez, I pity your friends.”
“You wish you were one.”
“I rather jump down a cliff than being your friend.” Jaejoong purposely bump him on his shoulder as he walk away, ignoring the brunette who is massaging his temple in total frustration.
Yunho catch up with Jaejoong, strolling beside him. “You know what, I’m confused about something.”
“What!”
“When we’re at the hospital, when you hold my hand, I thought you like me.” Yunho pouted.
“Well you thought wrong.” The raven quickly retort.
“But everyone likes me. Why is it that you don’t like me?”
“Maybe because you think everybody likes you.”
“It’s because I’m likeable.” Yunho grin.
“No, it’s because you’re a star.”
“What does that mean?”
“You don’t even see it, do you? Your life isn’t real! You park in no-parking zones, you never have to wait in line, you get anything you want anytime, your house is like a hotel, and you have so many people working for you. I bet you didn’t even know their names.”
“Pssh, I do.”
“Name one.”
Yunho hesitates. “Young… wook.” He timidly says.
“You just made that up.” Jaejoong states the matter of fact.
“Youngdae? Young… okay, my PA knows everybody, that’s his job.”
“See? That’s not normal. Okay, your bestfriend is your car chauffeur, your parents work for you and your girlfriend- ugh, I mean real people date someone because they want to be with them. Why are you with Go Ara anyway?”
“………”
Jaejoong sneer. “That’s all I’m saying.”
“Wait, do you think I’m not a real person? Because, I am.”
“Oh, I think correct then.”
“Okay, what about if I tell you something about me that no one else knew?”
“What? You clip your toenails on a peanut butter sandwich?” Jaejoong reply sarcastically.
“Err… no.”
“Then what?” Jaejoong groan as he’s getting tired arguing with the actor.
Yunho run to get in front of Jaejoong, he walk backward while facing Jaejoong, not even caring where his feet steps on. “Listen, from the first day I met you, I just- woah!”
“Yunho!” Jaejoong scream in horror when he saw Yunho falls into the thick bushes. “Yunho-ah!”
“Wargh!” Yunho appear suddenly from the bushes and pull Jaejoong with him. The raven yelp in surprise when Yunho’s wet figure took hold of him, throwing himself and him into a small lake, hidden behind the bushes.
Yunho laugh as he watches Jaejoong jumping around in the water but his laughter dies when he saw Jaejoong keep sinking instead of floating.
“I can’t swim.” Jaejoong mutter between his attempts to catch his breath.
Frantic, Yunho quickly swim to Jaejoong. He manage to hold the latter’s torso but suddenly Jaejoong jump up, grabbing Yunho by the neck and dunk his head into the water.
“Gotcha!” The raven giggles happily.
“Yah, you’re evil. You’re so evil.”
Jaejoong doesn’t care anymore how their fight had suddenly turned into playing in the water and splashing each other’s face whilst laughing gleefully. The only think he knows is that it felt just right.
Both of them sit by the lake, with their feet dangling into the water. Yunho glance at his wristwatch, noting that it had been three hours since his unexpected run-away with Jaejoong. He turns to his side and stares at Jaejoong. The latter have his eyes close shut as he enjoys the sun ray grazing his porcelain white skin. The breeze brush through his soft raven lock and Yunho has the urge to run his finger through the latter’s hair but he restrains himself. His gaze drop on Jaejoong’s pointy nose and drop lower to his cherry, plump lips. For a guy, yes, Jaejoong really does look like a girl. In fact, even prettier than any girl or actresses he ever met.
“This is nice, isn’it?” The raven blurted.
Yunho quickly averted his gaze and stare at the calm lake water in front. “Yeah. I wish I can stay here where no one can find me.”
Jaejoong blink his eyes open and turn to look at the actor. “Why?” Compare to earlier, his voice sounds calmer and softer which makes Yunho grin unconsciously.
“Cause they always want something for me, a performance, interviews or photograph.”
“Even your parents?”
“Well… it’s complicated. Sometimes I felt like they only care about the business of Jung Yunho.”
“I’m sure that’s not true.” Jaejoong gently smile at him trying to cheer him up.
“I don’t know. I feel like the only thing we ever talk right now is about movie deal.”
“What about the tour?”
“What about it?” Yunho shot Jaejoong a questioning look.
“Well, 30 countries, 12 weeks, one million screaming fans. I mean I’m not an expert or anything but it seems like a lot.”
Yunho shrugs. “I don’t have a choice.”
“Everyone has a choice. What do you wanna do?”
“Well I know what I don’t wanna do. I don’t wanna disappoint anybody, especially my fans because they’re the reason I’ve come all the way here so, I just never say no. To anything.”
Jaejoong sigh. He pulls up his feet from the water and turns his body to face Yunho as he sit with his legs folded. “Maybe I don’t understand your life. I mean, it’s so different from mine. Everything you say and do is so big and public.”
Yunho chuckle. “Not everything. Right now, with you, I felt like I can just be myself. Not Jung Yunho, not the famous Jung Yunho. You know, just… just me.”
“So, how do you like it?” Jaejoong ask in playful tone, smiling brightly.
“I like it a lot.”
Jaejoong bit his lower lips, feeling bashful all of sudden. “Me too.” He mutters softly.
Yunho look at Jaejoong, beaming as he stares at Jaejoong’s redden cheeks.
“Stop doing that.” Jaejoong slaps his arm gently.
“What?”
“That.” Jaejoong pointed at Yunho’s face. “That smile. Stop smiling like that with your eyes all twinkling and sparkling like that.”
“But why?”
“Because it makes you look cute and practically edible. And I hate to admit that my sisters were right about you, you are a great guy. In fact, I bet you do it all the time, give girls that… that look and expecting them to fall for you. Well it’s not working on me.”
“Of course it will not work on you. You’re not a girl, right?” Yunho wink suggestively.
“Yes, I’m not a girl. Glad you realize that now.”
“You know Jae, with someone like you, I would do this.” He cups Jaejoong’s face and lean closer, lips almost touching and when Jaejoong doesn’t pull back, Yunho smash their lips together in soft, butterfly kisses.
Jaejoong is in trance. Seeing Yunho’s face so up close, he never notices what a beautiful eyes he have and how soft his lips are. The kiss broke off the next second, with the two of them awkwardly staring at each other’s eyes.
“Jaejoong, you’re so different than any other people I ever known.” Yunho trace the tip of Jaejoong’s nose with his finger, caressing the fair skin.
“Different weird? Different annoying?”
“Different surprising, in the best way. I mean you say things to me that everyone else is afraid to say and you make me see things by myself that I can’t see before.”
“You’re pretty surprising too.”
“Really? How?”
“Well for one thing you’re a terrible driver, which is weird for a guy who own six cars.” Jaejoong laugh when Yunho dramatically hold his chest in pain.
“Uhh, I’m wounded.”
The raven laughs heartily, practically glowing the whole time. “And, I think I like you.”
“Really? So you’re going to be my fan from now on?”
“Ugh, so not your fan.”
“Yeah, you’re more than a fan.”
“Yunho.”
“Yes, Jaejoong.”
“Do you really think I’m bossy?”
“No,” Yunho shakes his head cutely and intertwine his hands with Jaejoong’s. “I think you’re amazing.”
Jaejoong beam a sweet smile and whisper against Yunho’s lips. “I think you’re amazing too,” before claiming the actor’s lips in another searing kisses.
“Oh no!” Jaejoong pushes Yunho, leaving the other man lips hanging in anticipation. “My sisters are so going to kill me if they know about this.”
“Well then, let’s make it our little secret.” Yunho sleazily smile and wiggle his eyebrows. “At least for today because once we are out of here, I’m going to announce to the whole world that I LOVE YOU JAEJOONG!”

Pairing: Yunho X Jaejoong
Summary: Jung Yunho is the biggest star in Asia. Apparently, Jaejoong hates him without any reason. Or maybe because his sisters are just the biggest fan of the said pop star and won’t stop talking about him. Jaejoong got sick of even hearing his name again.
so not your fan
Jaejoong lay comfortably on the couch with his eyes fixed on the television. Twirling the remote control in his hand while flipping through the channel, trying to find some show that attract him. He finally settles on watching Strong Heart. Sipping his can of coke and reaching a handful of potato chips from its bag, Jaejoong breathe in relaxation. It’s a peaceful afternoon afterall.
“It’s on!”
“Hurry, hurry!!”
Or maybe not.
Loud screaming and hurry steps could be heard running down the wooden stairs. It’s almost as if a herd of buffalo running around the house. In a matter of moment Jaejoong was kick from the couch and fall right on the carpeted floor.
“Move, twerp.”
“Yah!” Jaejoong yelled in irritation. He glares his deadliest stare at his eight sisters now settling on the couch, but they just ignore him.
“Shut up, Jae. Jung Yunho’s new drama will be airing any minute now.” His oldest sister said without even sparing a look at him. All of their eyes are stick on the screen, being all giddy and giggling the whole time.
“Oh, it’s on!”
“Kyaa!!”
“Omo, he’s so handsome~”
“I just love Jung Yunho!”
Jaejoong snorted.
Jung Yunho, Jung Yunho, Jung Yunho. What’s so great about that guy that everybody keep worshipping him? He’s just a normal human being like me. I mean, why must he be a famous actor and a singer at the same time? Why can’t he just be a normal 19 years old teenager like me? Of course he have a look that is out of this world- I’m not saying he’s handsome or totally my type but the point is I seriously don’t understand what’s so great about this guy. Agh!! I hate Jung Yunho! I know that it’s not really a reason to hate someone but I just hate him. End of story.
“He’s going to film the next episode in our town tomorrow.” One of his sisters said suddenly.
“No way! How do you know?”
“From his twitter duh. I’ve been stalking it all night and he posts it at just now.”
“Omo, we can go and meet him!”
“Yes! Kyaa~”
“I know where the filming location is, we all can go tomorrow.”
“Omo, what if he comes and talks to me? What should I do?”
“Pfft, why would he do that?” Rolling his eyes, Jaejoong try to snatch the remote control from his sister’s hand but end up getting a smack on his head instead.
“I’m an original member of his fan club, I follow his minute by minute twitter posts and I text him, eve-ry-day. Trust me, he wants to meet me.”
Jaejoong shakes his head in disbelievement. Feeling irritated more and more with his sisters, he decided to flee to the kitchen. He plopped himself down next to the counter, staring at his mother’s busy backview.
“Umma, is it too late for me to be the only child?”
His mother turns her attention from the pot of boiling stew and look at his one and only son. “Yes, honey.”
“Ugh!”
His mother chuckles as Jaejoong screams and wither in annoyance. “Girls,” she shouted loud enough for her eight daughters to hear her. “You are not going anywhere tomorrow.”
Strings of screams, protest and shout of ‘wae?!!’ could be heard from the living room. At her sisters wailing, Jaejoong shoots up in triumph and grin toothily.
“Muahahaha! This is my evil laugh. Muahahaha!”
“I won’t allow you to go anywhere tomorrow unless you bring your brother along.”
“Muaha- what?”
“We’re fine with it as long as we can go!” His sisters reply from the living room.
“But I’m not fine with it!” Jaejoong’s eyes wide, staring at his mother. “Umma~~ I don’t want to go anywhere with them. I’m not interested in meeting a stupid celebrity. I mean I’m sick and tired of hearing about Jung Yunho. He’s all they’ve been talking about.”
“Just go, Jae. It will be a great time for you to bond with your sisters.”
Jaejoong use his whole body, wiggling in protest, whining at his mother’s decision. “No~~~”
“He’s late.”
“Oh, he’ll be here.”
“You need to manage him better.”
“Hello, we’re both his manager.”
“He needs to know to follows his schedule and be more discipline.”
“He knows. He’s not a kid anymore darling.”
“Hey mom, dad. What’s up?” Yunho walk casually to his parent before hugging and kissing his mother on the cheek.
“You’re late.” His mother scolded.
“I know. I’m sorry, mom.”
His dad patted his shoulder and smile gently at him. “It’s okay, Yunho-ah. Your ride will arrive any minute now and it will take you to your filming location. Remember, don’t do anything weird that could attract the paparazzi.”
“Yeah, your scandal with Go Ara is still floating around. Listen here Jung Yunho, if I see another tabloid or article about you, I’m going to ground you and take your phone away from you for a month.”
Yunho gulp, saluting playfully at his mother. “Yes ma’am!”
HONK!
“Oh, there’s Yoochun.” Yunho pointed at the red Porsche parks at his mansion’s lawn. “I’ll be going now. Take care mom, dad.”
“Act well, son. Don’t get nervous and remember not to do too much fan service.”
“Yes, dad!” Yunho shouted as he ran out to his friend’s awaiting car.
“Who would believe that our brat is the charismatic Jung Yunho.” Yunho’s dad sighs as his wife just laugh at that.
The raven keeps frowning all the way of the ride. He keeps thinking if he has any sins for him to sit in the van for three hours just so they can meet Jung Yunho. When his sister stops the van by the road-side, Jaejoong’s attention fixed on the crowd of people outside the building across the road. There’s a long line of people waiting to enter the building which Jaejoong wonders why. Maybe that’s the filming set, he concluded.
“Yay! We’re here.” His sisters start flooding out of the van in utter excitement.
“Wait a minute, are you leaving the car here?”
“Yeah.” His second oldest sister look at Jaejoong with a ‘duh, can’t you see’ look.
“What are you thinking? This is a NO-PARKING zone.”
“When someone stays in the car, it’s not parking. It’s waiting.”
Jaejoong’s eyebrows rose in questions. “Are you trying to say that I’ll be staying in the car?”
“Yes, you’re very smart my brother. Now, stay in the car and don’t go anywhere until we came back. Got it?”
Scowling, Jaejoong nodded weakly. Watching his sisters cross the road and running crazily towards the filming site, Jaejoong wish that he could disappear now.
Half an hour passed, no signs of his sisters coming back. Even the crowds are still around the building, surrounding it. Another fifteen minutes and Jaejoong is going crazy. Yawning, he ponder whether should or should not he go and finds his lost sisters. He decided that he should.
Jaejoong got out of the car and walk to the other side of the road. The crowds were lunatic, he can’t see any of his sisters among them. ‘There should be a backstage door at a place like this.’ His smart thinking lead him away from the crowds of people as he stride to an alley behind the building. The raven quicken his steps when he saw a door at the other side of the building.
Yunho waves his hands and flash his million won smiles at his fans who had been waiting for him at the filming site all day. Today, there weren’t many of his scenes so he finish his part early. Walking to the backstage of the sets, Yunho grin in excitement.
“Chun-ah.” He whispers.
When Yoochun head popped out from behind one of the house prop, Yunho ran towards him. High-fiving, the two teenagers laugh in silent.
“Give me your key.” Yunho extended his hand and grab the car key from Yoochun’s hold.
“Are you sure you want to do this, Yun? It’s dangerous, dude. If any of those crazy paparazzi or your stalkers caught you running away from filming, you’re so dead.”
“If they caught me.” Yunho’s eyebrows wiggle playfully. “But they won’t. Don’t worry Chun, I’ve been wanting to do this all the time. Now that my mom and dad aren’t here to supervise me, I’m free~”
“You’re crazy, man. All of those filming, photo shoots, interviews, fans, must have drilled a hole in your head.” Yoochun chuckle when Yunho nodded with a cute pout. Who would have believe the famous, charismatic actor, Jung Yunho is the same guy in front of him.
Yoochun had been friend with Yunho since kindergarten, they practically grew up together. He remember five years ago when Yunho was first got cast by a management company on their way home from school, he was casted along with Yunho but he refuses, saying he doesn’t want to be an actor, he want to be a composer and makes great songs. He knows that the Jung Yunho that the company has created is not the same with the Jung Yunho he knows. No matter how famous and great Yunho is in every Koreans’ eyes, he is just a normal teenager, wanting to live his life on his own way.
“Can I really take your car, Chun?”
“Yeah. Don’t worry, Junsu is going to pick me up later.”
“Ah~ say hello to the love of your life and tell him I’ve listen to all of the songs in his new album. It was awesome!” Yunho exaggeratedly put both of his thumbs up whilst dancing around.
“Hey, take a look at the composer, dude. Of course it’s awesome.” Yoochun laugh at his friend’s silly act.
“Yeah, yeah whatever. I’ll return your car next time.”
“Oh, no big deal man. I’ll just take your Ferrari in exchange of my car.”
“I really owe you this time Chun. I love you.”
Yoochun snorted. “Just stay away from the paparazzi, kay. Now use the emergency stairs and you’ll find a door once you reach the lowest floor. I’ve parks my car outside.”
“Okay.” High-fiving for the last time, Yunho make his way to the emergency stairs, cautious as he’s afraid one of the staffs would see him. He safely went down the stairs and just like what Yoochun said, there’s a door that will lead him to the outside world. In extreme anticipation, Yunho push the door hard.
THUD!
“Aow!”
‘Okay, that wasn’t part of the plan.’
He quickly peeks behind the door and practically yelp in frantic when he saw a guy lying on the ground. When the guy turns his head, Yunho was struck at the sight of him. His flawless face enter Yunho’s vision and stuck at his heart which is not a good thing at the moment to admire someone’s face when the said someone is lying on the ground in pain.
“O my God, did I hit you?” Yunho tried to help the guy stands up but his hands were push away harshly.
“No, the door hit me by itself!” The raven replies sarcastically as he get up and stands on his two foot.
“This is not good.” Yunho mumbles.
“For you or for me? Cause right now it is a lot more worst for me.”
“This is really not good.”
“Hey, wait. “ The raven tilts his head as he stares at Yunho’s panic face. “You’re Jung Yun-“
Yunho quickly cover his mouth. His eyes went wild, looking all around the alley for any signs of other human being or cameras. “I’ll give you two tickets for my new movie if you don’t scream my name.”
The raven push Yunho’s hands away. “Why would I want to scream your name? I’m not your stupid fan and I don’t want to see your stupid movie. Aow~” He rubs the sore spot on his head and cringe in pain.
“Okay, I need to get you to a doctor.” Yunho grab for the raven’s hands and drag him along forcefully with him to Yoochun’s car.
“Come on.”
“What about my sisters?”
“What sister?”
“My eight older sisters, they’re in the building.”
“We’ll think about it later, kay. Now, get in.”
The raven blindly follows Yunho and get in the Porsche without any further questions. Apparently his throbbing head makes his mind daze and can’t think straight at the moment.
“What’s your name?” Yunho ask as they finally settle down in the car.
“Jaejoong.”
“Well, nice to meet you Jaejoong.” He smiles at his new found friends.
“Whatever.”
Yunho helps Jaejoong to get in the car. He was glad that there’s nothing serious happen to Jaejoong’s head. The doctor was very nice and he even promises to keep a secret of their little meeting.
“Just take me home.” Jaejoong sigh weakly as he sinks onto the leather chair. He leans his head against the window, staring at the steam forming on the glass as he breathes out.
“Okay, I will.” Yunho starts the engine and adjust the backview mirror when he notices a suspicious looking black BMW behind his car. Then he saw the BMW’s driver window steer down, a guy wearing black sunglasses appear with a camera in his hand. “Oh shit!”
He is definitely in shit. Yunho can already see the headline of tomorrow’s news, ‘Jung Yunho’s and mysterious guy’s hospital date’. The rumor about him being gay and the fact that Jaejoong is a pretty guy, will just make the matter worst.
He steps on the accelerator, not caring anymore if he attracts those guys in BMW’s attention. Jaejoong almost bump his head against the car headboard when Yunho speed up suddenly, luckily his fast reflex skill save his head from being abuse again.
“Yah! Are you trying to kill me?”
Yunho ignore the yell and focus on the road, seldom looking back to see of the BMW is still trailing behind them. He needs to run away from them at any cost. After a sharp corner, Yunho take a turn to his left, driving through an isolated, uncivilized road. They were basically jumping around in the car as they drive along the stoned, narrow road.
“Are you sure this is safe?” Jaejoong asks out of concerns. His knuckles turn white as his hands hold tightly at the side of the seat.
“Pretty sure.” Yunho drive along the road, not caring for where there’re going as long as they lost the paparazzi.
“I’m pretty sure it’s not.”
“Just calm down, okay.”
“I don’t want to calm down, I wanna go home, okay.” He throws an empty plastic bottle at Yunho out of annoyance and it hit the brunette perfectly on his head.
“Aow! What is wrong with you?”
“What is wrong with me? Nothing. Nothing! I’m looking forward to be grounded until I’m thirty!”
“Oh, is that why you’re so crabby?”
“I’m not crabby.” Jaejoong quickly protest.
“Oh not crabby, defensive.” Yunho retort.
“I am not defensive.”
“See, you disagree with everything I said.”
“Do not!”
“Do to!”
“Just take me home!”
“I will!”
Jaejoong ‘humph’ in irritation. He throws his gaze outside the window, looking at the rows of bushes along the road.
Yunho inhale a deep breath, trying to calm down. He glances at the car side mirror and notice that there’s no car behind them. “I think we lost them.”
“Yippee.” Jaejoong cheer cynically.
Yunho just sigh. “I’ll take you home-“
POWW!
“Oh no, that doesn’t sound good.”
The car slow down and come to a stop. Yunho quickly get out of the car. He screams in frustration as he sees one of the back tire flat out. It must have pricked some sharp stones on the road.
“Now what?” Jaejoong steps out, glaring at Yunho.
“I don’t know.”
“Just change the tire or something.”
“I don’t know how to change a tire.”
Jaejoong snorted. “You stop a moving train with one hand, makes million of girls faint with one smile, fights hundreds of bad guys but you can’t change a tire? So much for the great Jung Yunho.”
“Like you know how to change a tire.” Yunho mockingly argue.
“What’s that suppose to mean?”
“It means you’re such a know-it-all.”
“A what?”
“A know-it-all. You’re the queen of snap judgment.”
“Queen? Are you trying to say that I look like a girl?” Jaejoong brows scrunch in furious as he stares directly in Yunho’s eyes. Daring him to continue.
“Yeah! You look like a girl, you talk like a girl, you nag like a girl, you scream like a girl and you whine like a girl!”
Jaejoong’s eyes wide in shock. That’s it! This is too much! He slams the door of the Porsche with a loud bang! causing Yunho to flinch slightly at the sound. Stomping his foot angrily, he starts to walk away.
“Hey, Jaejoong. Where are you going?” Yunho watch as the raven march along the road with a frown on his face. He ran to catch up with Jaejoong and manage to walk side by side with him. “Are you okay?”
“Now you care?”
“Look, I’m sorry and I’ve always been concern.”
“Maybe you should stop concerning.”
“Why are you so grumpy?”
“I’m not grumpy, or cranky, or crabby. I just want to get home to my family and explain why I disappear and suffer the consequences.”
“You know what I want? I want to have fun.” Yunho smiles with dreamy eyes. “First time in years. There’s no reporters, no interviews, no crowds. I’m having a great time. I want you to stop complaining so I can enjoy it!”
Jaejoong halt his steps and smirk at Yunho. “Wow, so that’s what it’s like with you. You don’t get what you want so you throw a big all tantrums and walk away? Oh, I bet your friends chase after you when you do that. Bohoo~ ‘Yunho, sorry for hurting your feelings. Yunho, sorry for not treating you like a big, enormous star’. Just because you’re good looking and very hot, you think you can get away with anything? You’re such a brat.”
Yunho sighs heavily for the hundreds time today. He stands in front of Jaejoong, staring deep in his eyes. “I’m a brat? Oh, I’m a brat? Then what about you, huh?”
“Me?”
“Yeah. I’ve been thinking about you all the time today.”
“Really? So all this time, when you hit me with a door on my head, almost killing me in a car accident, bringing me here to the middle of nowhere and saying that I look like a girl, that was you being thoughtful?!”
“Yes.” Yunho nodded innocently.
“Jeez, I pity your friends.”
“You wish you were one.”
“I rather jump down a cliff than being your friend.” Jaejoong purposely bump him on his shoulder as he walk away, ignoring the brunette who is massaging his temple in total frustration.
Yunho catch up with Jaejoong, strolling beside him. “You know what, I’m confused about something.”
“What!”
“When we’re at the hospital, when you hold my hand, I thought you like me.” Yunho pouted.
“Well you thought wrong.” The raven quickly retort.
“But everyone likes me. Why is it that you don’t like me?”
“Maybe because you think everybody likes you.”
“It’s because I’m likeable.” Yunho grin.
“No, it’s because you’re a star.”
“What does that mean?”
“You don’t even see it, do you? Your life isn’t real! You park in no-parking zones, you never have to wait in line, you get anything you want anytime, your house is like a hotel, and you have so many people working for you. I bet you didn’t even know their names.”
“Pssh, I do.”
“Name one.”
Yunho hesitates. “Young… wook.” He timidly says.
“You just made that up.” Jaejoong states the matter of fact.
“Youngdae? Young… okay, my PA knows everybody, that’s his job.”
“See? That’s not normal. Okay, your bestfriend is your car chauffeur, your parents work for you and your girlfriend- ugh, I mean real people date someone because they want to be with them. Why are you with Go Ara anyway?”
“………”
Jaejoong sneer. “That’s all I’m saying.”
“Wait, do you think I’m not a real person? Because, I am.”
“Oh, I think correct then.”
“Okay, what about if I tell you something about me that no one else knew?”
“What? You clip your toenails on a peanut butter sandwich?” Jaejoong reply sarcastically.
“Err… no.”
“Then what?” Jaejoong groan as he’s getting tired arguing with the actor.
Yunho run to get in front of Jaejoong, he walk backward while facing Jaejoong, not even caring where his feet steps on. “Listen, from the first day I met you, I just- woah!”
“Yunho!” Jaejoong scream in horror when he saw Yunho falls into the thick bushes. “Yunho-ah!”
“Wargh!” Yunho appear suddenly from the bushes and pull Jaejoong with him. The raven yelp in surprise when Yunho’s wet figure took hold of him, throwing himself and him into a small lake, hidden behind the bushes.
Yunho laugh as he watches Jaejoong jumping around in the water but his laughter dies when he saw Jaejoong keep sinking instead of floating.
“I can’t swim.” Jaejoong mutter between his attempts to catch his breath.
Frantic, Yunho quickly swim to Jaejoong. He manage to hold the latter’s torso but suddenly Jaejoong jump up, grabbing Yunho by the neck and dunk his head into the water.
“Gotcha!” The raven giggles happily.
“Yah, you’re evil. You’re so evil.”
Jaejoong doesn’t care anymore how their fight had suddenly turned into playing in the water and splashing each other’s face whilst laughing gleefully. The only think he knows is that it felt just right.
Both of them sit by the lake, with their feet dangling into the water. Yunho glance at his wristwatch, noting that it had been three hours since his unexpected run-away with Jaejoong. He turns to his side and stares at Jaejoong. The latter have his eyes close shut as he enjoys the sun ray grazing his porcelain white skin. The breeze brush through his soft raven lock and Yunho has the urge to run his finger through the latter’s hair but he restrains himself. His gaze drop on Jaejoong’s pointy nose and drop lower to his cherry, plump lips. For a guy, yes, Jaejoong really does look like a girl. In fact, even prettier than any girl or actresses he ever met.
“This is nice, isn’it?” The raven blurted.
Yunho quickly averted his gaze and stare at the calm lake water in front. “Yeah. I wish I can stay here where no one can find me.”
Jaejoong blink his eyes open and turn to look at the actor. “Why?” Compare to earlier, his voice sounds calmer and softer which makes Yunho grin unconsciously.
“Cause they always want something for me, a performance, interviews or photograph.”
“Even your parents?”
“Well… it’s complicated. Sometimes I felt like they only care about the business of Jung Yunho.”
“I’m sure that’s not true.” Jaejoong gently smile at him trying to cheer him up.
“I don’t know. I feel like the only thing we ever talk right now is about movie deal.”
“What about the tour?”
“What about it?” Yunho shot Jaejoong a questioning look.
“Well, 30 countries, 12 weeks, one million screaming fans. I mean I’m not an expert or anything but it seems like a lot.”
Yunho shrugs. “I don’t have a choice.”
“Everyone has a choice. What do you wanna do?”
“Well I know what I don’t wanna do. I don’t wanna disappoint anybody, especially my fans because they’re the reason I’ve come all the way here so, I just never say no. To anything.”
Jaejoong sigh. He pulls up his feet from the water and turns his body to face Yunho as he sit with his legs folded. “Maybe I don’t understand your life. I mean, it’s so different from mine. Everything you say and do is so big and public.”
Yunho chuckle. “Not everything. Right now, with you, I felt like I can just be myself. Not Jung Yunho, not the famous Jung Yunho. You know, just… just me.”
“So, how do you like it?” Jaejoong ask in playful tone, smiling brightly.
“I like it a lot.”
Jaejoong bit his lower lips, feeling bashful all of sudden. “Me too.” He mutters softly.
Yunho look at Jaejoong, beaming as he stares at Jaejoong’s redden cheeks.
“Stop doing that.” Jaejoong slaps his arm gently.
“What?”
“That.” Jaejoong pointed at Yunho’s face. “That smile. Stop smiling like that with your eyes all twinkling and sparkling like that.”
“But why?”
“Because it makes you look cute and practically edible. And I hate to admit that my sisters were right about you, you are a great guy. In fact, I bet you do it all the time, give girls that… that look and expecting them to fall for you. Well it’s not working on me.”
“Of course it will not work on you. You’re not a girl, right?” Yunho wink suggestively.
“Yes, I’m not a girl. Glad you realize that now.”
“You know Jae, with someone like you, I would do this.” He cups Jaejoong’s face and lean closer, lips almost touching and when Jaejoong doesn’t pull back, Yunho smash their lips together in soft, butterfly kisses.
Jaejoong is in trance. Seeing Yunho’s face so up close, he never notices what a beautiful eyes he have and how soft his lips are. The kiss broke off the next second, with the two of them awkwardly staring at each other’s eyes.
“Jaejoong, you’re so different than any other people I ever known.” Yunho trace the tip of Jaejoong’s nose with his finger, caressing the fair skin.
“Different weird? Different annoying?”
“Different surprising, in the best way. I mean you say things to me that everyone else is afraid to say and you make me see things by myself that I can’t see before.”
“You’re pretty surprising too.”
“Really? How?”
“Well for one thing you’re a terrible driver, which is weird for a guy who own six cars.” Jaejoong laugh when Yunho dramatically hold his chest in pain.
“Uhh, I’m wounded.”
The raven laughs heartily, practically glowing the whole time. “And, I think I like you.”
“Really? So you’re going to be my fan from now on?”
“Ugh, so not your fan.”
“Yeah, you’re more than a fan.”
“Yunho.”
“Yes, Jaejoong.”
“Do you really think I’m bossy?”
“No,” Yunho shakes his head cutely and intertwine his hands with Jaejoong’s. “I think you’re amazing.”
Jaejoong beam a sweet smile and whisper against Yunho’s lips. “I think you’re amazing too,” before claiming the actor’s lips in another searing kisses.
“Oh no!” Jaejoong pushes Yunho, leaving the other man lips hanging in anticipation. “My sisters are so going to kill me if they know about this.”
“Well then, let’s make it our little secret.” Yunho sleazily smile and wiggle his eyebrows. “At least for today because once we are out of here, I’m going to announce to the whole world that I LOVE YOU JAEJOONG!”
