Yoochun heard the music first. Then came Risha's decidedly off-key sing-along to Baby, Baby.
He smiled as he took off his shoes in the foyer. Trust her to have a concert at three in the morning.
"I'm home!"
Risha spun around, startled. "Yoochun!" She ran and threw herself into his arms. "You're here!"
"I bribed Changmin to cover for me," Yoochun grinned.
"Uh," Risha raised an eyebrow. "Bribed. Changmin."
"Well, I told him I was coming here," Yoochun shrugged.
"He'd cover for you because it's for me," Risha grinned back. "You wouldn't have enough money or enough blackmail material to be able to successfully bribe Changmin on your own."
Yoochun made a face. "Evil person. No wonder you and Changmin get along so well."
Risha took Yoochun's hand and led him to the kitchen. "It makes me wonder why you love us anyway, if we're so evil." Risha laughed. "That might say something about you."
"That I'm very understanding and capable of unconditional love?" Yoochun offered as he sat down at the table while Risha took out the food to reheat.
"That, or you're terribly retarded," Risha shot back. "I vote for the latter."
"I hate you."
"But I love you anyway," Risha gave Yoochun a small bowl of soup. "Here. Warm that stomach up."
"The Haptic CF previews came out today," Yoochun said.
Risha threw her head back in laughter. "That escalator part. Yunho and Junsu. Such dorks!"
Yoochun laughed. "Did you see Junsu's face at the elevator part?"
"And Changmin being cute! Tiffany looked so sweet," Risha got up to go to the stove. "Oh, and the ferris wheel ride!"
"I'm proud of you, Yoochun-ah! You survived!" Risha's face became concerned. "You didn't get sick or anything, did you?"
"Nah," Yoochun huffed. "The ride was a piece of cake."
"I would've gotten hysterical if that were me," Risha turned off the stove and took the pot to the table. "Well, not hysterical, really. Just really, really uncomfortable."
"Yoona was cool about it," Yoochun said. "It would be definitely uncool for me to freak out."
"How's the heart?" Risha grinned. "Still shaking?"
"The guys have teased me endlessly about that," Yoochun complained.
"Well, it was made of total cheese," Risha pointed out. "I'm surprised Yoona didn't gag."
Yoochun stopped eating. "Wait," he raised his chopsticks. "You're not jealous or anything, are you?"
Risha's brow furrowed. "Why would I be?" She sat back down and took a spoonful of rice from Yoochun's plate. "Should I be jealous?" She peered into his face.
"Uh," Yoochun went wide-eyed. "No. No reason to be jealous at all."
"Good to know," Risha brandished her spoon. "Besides, Yoona looked charming," Risha giggled. "I liked the part where you touched her shoulder and she looked pissed."
"Huh," Yoochun replied. "Why am I not surprised that you paid more attention to Yoona than to me?"

"My girlfriend doesn't love me," Yoochun pouted during a break from dance rehearsal.
Yunho did a double take. "What the heck are you on? Risha loves you!"
"I still don't understand why she chose you over Jaejoong hyung, but yeah," Changmin said. "She loves you. Don't be silly, hyung."
"Yoochun is pissed over the fact that Risha didn't get jealous of Yoona in the Haptic CF," Jaejoong explained.
"She rarely gets jealous at all!"
"That's a good thing, right?" Junsu asked. "I wouldn't want a clingy, possessive, crazy girlfriend."
"Just tell her about it, instead of driving yourself nuts," Jaejoong nudged Yoochun. "She'd give you all the answers easily enough. Pabo."

"Hey there," someone poked Yoochun's shoulder. He was hiding away in the dressing room, thinking how to breach the jealousy subject to Risha.
"Park Yoochun, what's your problem?"
Yoochun swiveled the chair around. "Risha-yah!"
*
"That's what's bugging you?" Risha exclaimed, incredulous.
"Yeah," Yoochun frowned.
"First off," Risha said. "I didn't get jealous, because I didn't feel like there was any reason to be." She held on Yoochun's shoulders. "The vibe was completely harmless. It's a CF, after all. Just acting."
"Secondly, I found the CF preview cute. It looked like fun. Too much fun for you to even think of hitting on a girl four years younger than you are."
Risha settled on Yoochun's lap when he opened his mouth to speak.
"And most importantly," Risha wrapped her arms around Yoochun's neck. "I love you. And I trust you with all my heart." Risha smiled. "I know you won't break it."
Yoochun relaxed, and smiled. "Really?"
"Yes, really."
"I love you, too."
Risha giggled. "And besides," she began. "I was too busy hating your hair. I didn't have the energy to do anything else while I watched the CF preview."
Yoochun groaned.
