When Jaejoong finds time to be solely around Yunho, it's different. Predatory smiles, intertwined fingers, secret stolen kisses backstage. You wouldn't call that just a friendship, but they do. It isn't comfortable, it isn't perfect. It just is. It's love.

November 16, 2008: 10:15AM
When Jaejoong finds Changmin sitting on the hotel bed, flipping through some lingerie catalog, it takes a little more effort than he was willing to give to drag the youngest away. The day is full of violence and laughter, and while strange, it's how they like it.

November 17, 2008: 2:37AM
Jaejoong ignores the tears he feels seeping through his shirt. "I-," Yoochun's voice cracks and Jaejoong rubs his back. "You don't need to say it. I know." Jaejoong assumes he wanted to apologize and one wasn't necessary from him. -love you, Yoochun thinks and wonders if Jaejoong really does. He doesn't. He can't help but feel helpless.

November 18, 2008: 9:00 PM
Changmin thought it would be funny to anonymously drop off a porn, but he wasn't expecting to see Jaejoong checking his mail at the same time. His initial reaction was to book it, but Jaejoong had that look and Changmin could use the company. It was arguably the worst porn Changmin had ever seen. "Sorry," Changmin says sheepishly, grabbing his coat to go home. "You're not, but I needed the laugh," Jaejoong admits.

November 19, 2008: 7:05 AM
Changmin pours the rest of the cereal into the bowl and before he can take a bite, it's snatched off the table. He spins around and before he can shout any obscenity, he laughs. "You look like a chipmunk." Junsu can't do anything but flash a big smile.

November 19, 2008: 5:03PM
Fierce. It's what someone had called Changmin earlier that day and he was going to use it to his advantage. It didn't matter to him that he was the youngest and he couldn't help but start shouting at the man in front of him, "Am I even making any sense?" Yunho shakes his head, "No, but I get it."

November 19, 2008: 10:26 PM
Changmin bit on his shirt collar, stifling his laughter as he snuck into Yoochun's room. He was trying to be sneaky, you see, but as soon as he closed the door behind him, a pillow smacked him across the face. Yoochun's laugh, while not as infectious as the others, finally makes Changmin lose his composure and their laughter fills the apartment.

November 23, 2008: 12:08 AM
Yoochun feels his face flush and eyes widen as he opens the wrong bedroom door. "I, uh, sorry," he stammers as he does all but slam the door shut. Later that night, they're quietly drinking coffee, just the two of them. Junsu squeezes his knee before standing up to get another cup. "You could always join us sometime," he says seriously. With no hesitation, Yoochun replies, "Only if I can bring Yoohwan." Junsu winks.

November 25, 2008: 9:34 PM
After a few drinks, Junsu can't help but being a little loose with his words. "And then Junho-hyung-- Is my face red," he asks, smacking his hands on his cheeks. Yoochun leans across the table and pushes the hands away. "You're drunk," Yoochun says, after a swig of his drink. Junsu giggles. Yoochun groans, but is smiling.

November 26, 2008: 8:49 PM
Yoochun notices the change faster than the others, but he doesn't mind being the rock every once in a while. After recording one night, he stopped Jaejoong in the hallway. "I downloaded some new movies. Come over, I'll make popcorn." Jaejoong smiles and Yoochun laughs with relief.

November 27, 2008: 10:11 PM
Yoochun realizes early on that Yunho doesn't enjoy confiding in him, but does so anyway. Yoochun the perfect man for the job, or so everyone else thinks. "Your face is swollen. Who did it," Yoochun asks as he hands the cup of tea to him. "Fuck off."

November 28, 2008: 12:15 AM
Sometimes, Yoochun gets angry at the wrong people for the wrong reasons. It wouldn't have taken much for him to snap at their leader, but... Changmin stopped him before he said anything stupid, clasping a firm hand on his shoulder. "C'mon," Changmin starts, voice a bit more forceful than normal. "Let's go out. I'll buy you a beer. Two."

November 29, 2008: 9:28 PM
Something was off about Jaejoong, but Junsu couldn't peg exactly what. "Have you seen him lately," he asked and when Jaejoong shook his head, Junsu knew. It's painfully obvious then.

November 30, 2008: 11:40 PM
Junsu wonders when the change happened. He attempts to bring this up to Changmin, who dismisses it with a wave of the hand. "Don't know, don't care. Let's go do something." There's a moment of hesitation and Junsu moves to grab his phone. He should call-- "No time," Changmin says, interrupting the thought. "Let's get drunk."

December 1, 2008: 11:59 AM
When Junsu offers words of encouragement, Jaejoong initially doesn't take it. And it isn't until Junsu does all but tie Jaejoong to a chair to get his attention that Jaejoong listens. "People are starting to notice," and while Jaejoong was expecting Junsu to sound angry, he doesn't.

December 1, 2008: 4:13 PM
"You're sad," Junsu starts, looking a bit disheartened. But it's for good reason. Things haven't been as good as they could be. They haven't been for a long time. Yunho flashes him a sad smile and Junsu's heart breaks. "Promise me something," Junsu asks; he sounds hopeful. "Anything."

December 1, 2008: 11:46 PM
Still hungover, Yunho pads through the empty apartment. Ten missed calls, four new voicemails, several text messages. He puts his phone to his ear after dialing and waits. "Hello." The voice on the other line sounds tired, annoyed. Yunho worries if Yoochun was up all night crying. "I'm coming over." Silence, Yunho worries how badly he fucked up, straining to hear the muted voices in the background. "Go home. We'll see you tomorrow." More silence. "Meet us outside in thirty minutes," Yoochun replies a few beats later. "I doubt," the pause startles Yunho, "hyung wants to see you."

December 2, 2008: 12:28 AM
There was a time where Changmin would go to Yunho for advice. They were young then and more often than not, Yunho would simply reference some girl magazine he had seen earlier that day. It seemed to be flawless; Changmin never complained.

This time, the words surprised him. "Grow up." It was all he said and Yunho didn't know what to make of it, until he started to head home.

December 2, 2008: 12:41 AM
Junsu isn't much better (than Changmin) and only offers a bear hug, but it's what Yunho needs. Junsu is the only one who gets the promise that he'll get better. Unable to keep their secret, Junsu eventually tells the others and for some crazy reason, Yunho is relieved. "You're welcome," Junsu says, grinning before breaking into his trademark laugh.

December 2, 2008: 1:25AM
Yunho feels a bit lost, but when he crawls into bed, he's happy to know it isn't empty. The other body is warm and he's happy, so happy. Their fingers intertwine and as he leans over to give the other man a quick kiss, he can tell that Jaejoong is smiling. It's the first good night of sleep Yunho has had in a long time. It's comfortable. It's love.

Comments are appreciated :)
