Summary: Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu celebrate Christmas together and receive a valuable present.
Party of Three"Jaejoong-ah, where's Junsu?" Yoochun crosses his legs as he's sat on the couch and sighs another time. "He's not here yet...." he sulks, mentioning the obvious. "Do you think he's ditching us?" he looks up the eldest with huge, sad eyes. Like things could get any worse....
"Aish" Jaejoong frowns at the other, "He'll come soon" he nods before shuffling his warm, fuzzy slippers toward the kitchen to fetch them their hot cocoas. Yoochun lays back against the couch and hugs one of the throw pillows, "If that duckbutt ditches us I'll spank his ass till they're swollen" he nods, deciding on the punishment to himself. "Yeah..." he smiles with satisfaction, "And if he manages to get himself a girl on Christmas!-- Then I'll cut his balls off!" he's about to laugh his evil laugh when Jaejoong comes back and interrupts him.
"Yah, you've been watching too much violence on TV" he says as he puts down Yoochun's mug on the coffee table in front of the couch. He takes a sip before sitting beside his friend, "It's Christmas, Yoochun-ah...please think of happy, positive thoughts, hmm?" he offers the other a smile. Which, Yoochun just sighs as a reply, "Some Christmas...." he looks around, seeing gifts under the tree Jaejoong designed, Jiji wandering around, and Jaejoong drinking hot cocoa. He unconsciously pouts as he's realizing how bad his Christmas is.
"It could be worse you know" Jaejoong gives Yoochun a soft nudge.
"Oh yeah?" Yoochun scoffs, "How could tonight get any worse?"
"I wouldn't be here" Jaejoong shrugs, "Nor Junsu-- you'd be a loner on Christmas. Would you have that instead of having your two, loving members? Hmm~?" he puts his mug down to let Yoochun see his soft smile, handsome yet annoying. Yoochun wrinkles his nose, "Yeeeaaah" he slurs, "I get it" he blinks. "But still" he pouts again, "I want my somebody."
Jaejoong sighs, "There's always a next year" he nods softly. It wasn't like he wasn't upset that he's still single, trudging to twenty-six in a month. He rests his head on Yoochun's shoulder, "As long as we have each other, hmm~?" he smiles, picking his mug up from his lap and offers a toast. Yoochun replies with a gentle smile and brings their cocoa mugs together for a toast, "To soul mates" they say in unison, "Forever" Yoochun grins.
Just then they hear the doorknob twist and door open, followed by footsteps, "Hey-- what about me?" Junsu's voice was clear and crisp, "You guys are forgetting the most important person" he chuckles as he closes the door with his foot, arms carrying his Christmas gifts for the two.
The two turn around, "Junsu~" Jaejoong smiles as he stands and gives the other a hug while Yoochun sits up, "Finally you showed up." Junsu smiles and returns the hug before moving to the tree to place his presents while Jaejoong goes back to the kitchen to get Junsu a cup of hot chocolate. "Sorry, got stuck in traffic" Junsu sits beside Yoochun. "Missed me?" he grins, spotting the mug of cocoa and instantly takes it. "Mine~" he says and takes a sip before Yoochun could decline. "Mmm~ Delicious" he lays back and gets comfortable.
"No" Yoochun replies, "You drank my cocoa" he gives Junsu a childish poke. "Oh well" Junsu replies and takes another sip. "Slow poke" he nudges Yoochun back.
"And your-- oh" Jaejoong blinks as he puts down the cup, seeing Junsu drinking Yoochun's mug. "Here, Yoochun-ah" he chuckles, "I put a big marshmallow on yours Junsu-yah, but I guess its Yoochun's now." Yoochun grins at that, quickly taking the mug and sticks his tongue at Junsu, who, had his jaw dropped. "Awww" he pouts cutely.
"Aish~" Jaejoong sits between the two, squeezing space for himself. "Stop acting like little kids"
"But ummaaa~" Junsu whines, laughing a second after. Jaejoong laughs, while Yoochun rolls his eyes and chuckle.
A moment later, it gets quiet.
"Mmm..." Jaejoong takes another drink of hot chocolate, looking up at the clock and sees that its ten minutes to midnight. "Hey, you guys wanna open presents now? Its going to be the twenty-sixth in ten minutes."
"Alright" Junsu replies, getting up again to fetch the gifts from the tree. Yoochun sits up again, putting his cup on the coffee table and rubs his hands together. "Ok! Let's see what Santa got me the Christmas!" He grins. "I go first" Junsu says as he sets the wrapped items on the floor and takes a seat as well. He clears his throat before reading the tag, "To! Jaejoongie, from Soul mate-o~" Junsu grins as he gives Jaejoong the first gift. "Thank you" Jaejoong smiles softly before taking it. Junsu takes another box, "Tooo Junsu~" he grins instantly, "From! Jaejoong hyung!" he averts his beaming smile to the eldest, enough as a thank you. Then he took the smallest box, "Tooo Junsu~" he chuckles, "Again! From Yoochun" he smiles to his Yoosu partner, "Thanks buddy" he throws the other a thumb's up. "Yah" Yoochun interrupts, "Where are my presents?"
Junsu laughs, "Patience!" as he takes the next present, "To! Junsu~"
"Eh?" Yoochun blinks, "Who else would give you a present?"
Junsu grins, "Me" he laughs again before putting the present on his stack. "Aish" Yoochun replies.
"Next present-o! To! Yoochun~ From Junsu~" He gives the box to Yoochun. Junsu takes the next gift, "To Jaejoong~ From Junsu~" Junsu smiles as he gives his present to his hyung. "Please enjoy your gift" he adds, making Jaejoong smile brightly and gives the box a soft shake. "Omo, what is it?" he bites his lower lip in growing curiosity. "And! The last present!"
"There's another present?" Yoochun raises an eyebrow. "Manager hyung" Jaejoong nods, sitting up and watches Junsu.
"To..." Junsu squints his eyes, "The tree mus-ka-ters? (The Three Musketeers) " he chuckles. Yoochun laughs, "The Three Musketeers!" he corrects the other. "The...Three Musketeers!" Junsu repeats with his accent. Jaejoong laughs softly. "From~" Junsu continues, "Manager hyung. You guys deserve it" Junsu smiles, "Should we open it together?" he looks up at the other.
"Mmm...let's save it for last" Jaejoong nods. "Ok" Yoochun agrees.
And so~ Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu open their presents, thanking and hugging each other as they open each of their gifts. "Woah!" Junsu looks at the fancy looking perfume from Jaejoong. He opens the cap and takes a sniff, "Mm~" he leans to the other, giving him a half hug. "Thank you~" Jaejoong chuckles, rubbing Junsu's back, "You're welcome, you've been using the same cologne for three years, I thought you needed to change things a bit."
"Mm..." Junsu replies as he examines the bottle, "Taeyeon bought it for me...." he whispers.
Jaejoong grins as he opens his present from Yoochun, "Aish, daebak" he holds the pendant, "Thanks Yoochun-ah" he gives the younger male a hug. "And thank you for the new mic" he returns the hug, "I needed a new one." "No problem, that's what awesome Jaejoong's are for" Jaejoong laughs. After the three have opened their presents, there was the last gift.
It was a small box, wrapped simply in a shimmering silver gift wrap. Yoochun, who was in the middle is holding it, "Ok...3, 2, 1! Open!" he says and Junsu and Jaejoong goes ahead, ripping the pretty gift wrap and open the small box. The three blinks, "Its....a tape"
Jaejoong raises an eyebrow and turns it to its side, "To Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yoochun" he reads aloud.
"Let's play it!" Junsu suggests.
"Do you even have a tape player, Jaejoong?" Yoochun asks the eldest.
"Mhm...I have one" he replies, standing up, his heart beating faster for some odd reason.
"I wonder what it is" Junsu thinks aloud as he puts the tape on the table, Yoochun watching Jaejoong set up the video tape player.
Less than five minutes, Jaejoong manages to turn the player on and pop the tape into the player. He presses play and sits in the middle again. Junsu lays back, looking into the blank TV screen. "Oh, the lights" Yoochun just remembers and quickly gets up to turn them off.
The TV screen opens with Changmin, sitting on a couch, looking up as the recorder was being set up, "Is it working?"
Jaejoong gasps behind his hand, "Changmin-ah..."
Junsu blinks, a bit shocked, "Omo...maknae" he smiles.
"Hey..." Yoochun chuckles softly.
"I think so" Yunho's voice replies, fiddling with the camera a bit more. Changmin leans back with a sigh and points toward the camera, "The red light's on-- so I'm pretty sure its recording, hyung." "Oh" their leader replied with a soft laugh before joining their youngest on the couch with a big smile and a wave. "Jaejoong-ah, Junsu-yah, Yoochun-ah~ Annyeong" he chuckles softly. While, Changmin watches him and laughs, "Why so formal?" with an eyebrow cocked.
"We haven't seen them in such a long time" Yunho replies, nodding, glancing to Changmin for a second. "Yah, say hi" he nudges Changmin. The maknae stifles a chuckle as he waves a little, "Hyung-deul" he smiles a little more, "Its been a while~"
Jaejoong nods, "It has...." he chuckles, "Yah, your phone numbers changed!" he pointed to the TV.
"We're sorry that we haven't had the chance to contact you guys. Our phones changed and when we tried calling you guys you never answered" Yunho frowns a little, "But we were able to contact manager hyung!" he smiles again.
"Tada~" Changmin does jazz fingers with a hand, "This is our present to you guys" he chuckles. "Since, we really can't do anything else...we thought that even a video might be nice" he nods. "First off, we wanna congratulate you guys! For your world tour!" Yunho speaks like an MC, clapping. Changmin mimics the gesture, "We watched some of the fancams and we--" he chuckles, covering his mouth as he picked it up from his Jaejoong hyung.Yunho glances to the side and reveals the copy of The Beginning in his hand, "Yep, we bought a copy-- and--" he pauses for a second and takes their Japanese single out as well, "The..." Yunho gives a serious expression as presentation, chuckling a moment after.
"We want to see you guys too" Yunho pouts childishly.
Jaejoong smiles.
Changmin raises an eyebrow at his hyung again, "He's growing weirder and weirder..." he chuckles, "Anyway! Impressive!" Changmin claps, nodding approvingly. "We were amazed at Jaejoong hyung's dancing! Wah!" he laughs, clapping again. "Your lessons have payed off, hyung!" Changmin's left eye squints cutely as he smiles.
"Aww..." Jaejoong smiles soon after, he can't help but pout. Junsu's smiling, happy to see Yunho and Changmin. While, Yoochun's with a smile as well, completely focused on their missed members.
"And your guys' English! Wah, you guys have to teach us" Yunho nods, "Really proud of you guys" he gives them two thumb's up. "Oh... hmm...we hope you guys are doing okay. And spending your Christmas well, with family and loved ones" Yunho clasps his hands, "Don't worry about us. We're doing ok. You guys have heard of our comeback, mm?"
Changmin nods, "I saw the CD cover" he chuckles, "Yunho hyung's face....wah" he laughs. "Its okay, my handsomeness makes up for it" he sticks his tongue out playfully.
Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yoochun laugh.
"Yah" Yunho stares at Changmin and nudges the maknae. Changmin replies back with his own look before moving on, "We hope you guys support us!" he nods, "And we worked hard, so you don't have to worry" he smiles, "We will represent well, promise." Yunho nods in unison with Changmin. "Hmmm.... what else" Yunho purses his lips, "Ah...we miss you guys" he chuckles lightly, "Everyday, we think of you guys and pray for you guys..." he glances on the floor, "Hmm... and we're praying for the day we meet again" he looks up to the camera with a smile. Changmin nods, "Really miss Jaejoong hyung's food...and the existence of Junsu hyung....and Yoochun hyung's...uh..." Changmin blinks.
"Ah-- what--" Yoochun interrupts while, Jaejoong and Junsu laugh.
"His randomness?" Yunho suggests. Changmin nods, "Mm and late-night coffee time" he smiles. "Yunho hyung, he just goes straight to sleep" he laughs. Yunho chuckle lightly as well, checking his wrist watch, "Oh, sorry" he apologizes with a gentle expression, "Changmin and I don't have a lot of time because today we have schedule and today's the only day we can record this and give to manager hyung..." Changmin purses his lips, "We're working our butts of for you guys" he points to the camera, "You guys owe me a large amount of food" he nods. Yunho laughs, "Yah, is that how you treat your hyung-deul?" Changmin just shrugs, "They love me."
"Anyway!" Yunho chuckles, "We miss you guys and we hope you're doing well, eating well, keeping yourselves healthy for our next meeting" he gives a wink and a soft laugh. "We loves you guys so much" he even gives an air kiss, "We dream about you guys--" he chuckles. "You are-- I'm not" Changmin retorts. "Aish" Yunho just nudges the other. "We wish you guys a merry Christmas and a happy new year! And a successful 2011 for Dong Bang Shin Ki and JYJ" The two members says the last part in unison.
Jaejoong nods, unknowing of the tears he has in his eyes. Junsu smiles, a bittersweet smile as he watches the two on the screen. Yoochun sniffs, not being able to keep it in.
"Aaand we gotta go!" Yunho grins quickly, Changmin taking his vibrating phone from his pocket. "Oh, its manager hyung" he says as he checks his phone. "That is our cue" Yunho chuckles, waving to the camera as he gets close to it, picking it up and walks to Changmin, putting his arm around the taller male's neck, facing the camera towards them in a close up.
Changmin blinks, smiling simply up at the camera, "Please take care of yourselves and represent well, hyung-deul!" he nods, "And look out for us too" he does a quick peace sign. Yunho nods softly, "We love you so so so so so much, remember Cassiopeia's got our back and that the future is shining brightly" the leader says wisely. "Jaejoongie, Junsu-yah, Yoochunnie" he calls his members, Changmin chuckles at his hyung's baby-voice. "Aigoo...too much aegyo for one video." Yunho looks to Changmin, tightening his hold around the other, "I'll aegyo you later" he says in a threatening voice. Changmin looks to camera, "Please save me too" he chuckles, making the leader laugh as well. "We'll see you soon, be hopeful! Wait for us!" he smiles.
"We will reunite and cry" Changmin chuckles, "But for now, it is goodbye" he waves his hand gently, Yunho too. "Bye bye" The two members smile for a few more seconds before the video blacked out again.
It's quiet, for a few seconds, before Jaejoong breaks the silence and claps. "Wah...bravo" he chuckles, wiping his teary eyes before he'd cry. Yoochun sniffs, "Aish..." he laughs. "Are you crying?" Junsu leans forward, chuckling, "Such a baby" he teases Yoochun. But before Yoochun could reply, Jaejoong places his arms around both Junsu and Yoochun, pulling them close, "I love you guys" he smiles to the both of them. "You know that right?"
The two nod in reply.
"We can feel Changmin and Yunho's love too, right?"
And the two nod in unison.
"We always have."
