Chapter 4: YunJae babies
Jaejoong has just finished returning the pots, pans and utensils he used when he cooked for their breakfast...he wiped his hands using the kitchen towel and furrowed his eyebrows as he took a glance at the clock....
“Where are those two? They should go to the Super Junior dorms now so they can come back early...“
He was about to go up to their rooms when he heard a loud (high pitched) shriek coming from the room Junsu and Yoochun shares. Worried for his bandmate and close friend, Jaejoong ran all the way to their room and went directly inside.
“Su! Junsu-ah! What happened?”
The lead singer was greeted with silence inside the “YooSu” room... there was a big pile of clothes on the floor (he made a mental note to clean that up later and scold Junsu)...the beds were already made...
“Maybe he is in the bathroom...” Jaejoong thought.
He walked towards the bathroom and knocked... called Junsu’s name a few times but there was no response...
“Su-ah, I’m coming in! I better not see something I am not prepared for!”
Still no answer... Jaejoong opened the door, preparing for anything but his bandmate was not there.
“Hm...Where could he be? Could they have gone out without telling me? Aish those kids!”
Jaejoong closed the bathroom door and walked towards the bedroom door when he heard a loud sniffle somewhere close. The lead singer released the door knob and listened carefully to pinpoint the source of the sound.
He moved like a ninja... movements are quiet and precise... the sound was oddly close to the pile of clothes on the floor. Jaejoong suddenly felt nervous, like there was something bad happening... he can’t explain why but the feeling was there and growing as he moved closer and closer to the pile of clothes...
*sniff* *sniff*
Jaejoong took a deep breath and removed the several clothes that were on the top in one scoop, “OMO!”
Under the pile of clothes was a 4 or 5 year old boy with puffy teardrop shaped eyes, brimming with tears. His chubby cheeks are red and he was gripping the clothes on the floor tightly...Jaejoong bit his lower lip and tried hard not to squeal at the familiar (adorable) sight in front of him... he cleared his throat and looked directly into the expectant orbs of the child...
“Hey...”
The boy stared at the lead singer and Jaejoong was trying to distract himself so he will not pinch the chubby red cheeks in front of him...suddenly the boy launched himself and hugged Jaejoong’s leg...
“Jae hyung, head hwurts...”
That was when it hit Jaejoong real hard... his doe eyes widened and he moved the child a little away from him... “Junsu?!”
The adorable boy nodded and then hugged Jaejoong’s leg tightly, “Oh my God! What happened to you? How did you....?”
The soon turning 5 year old Junsu just clung tighter to the lead singer’s leg and Jaejoong sighed, willing himself to calm down. He patted Junsu’s back and smiled when the young one looked at him, “come on Su... we’ll get to the bottom of this. But for now, come with Jae hyung... we’ll find Min and then get some cookies.”
Junsu moved a bit away and took Jaejoong’s outstretched hand. He used his free hand to wipe the tears from his eyes and chubby cheeks.
Jaejoong chuckled when he saw Junsu walking “out” of his pants because it was too large for him. Junsu looked at the older with tears in his eyes and Jaejoong cleared his throat to pretend that he was not laughing and avoid the waterworks on the cherubic face.
Holding the hand of 4 year old Junsu, they walked to Changmin’s room to check on him. Jaejoong knocked once... no answer... twice... still no answer. Jaejoong bit his lower lip and he felt uneasy... this scene was familiar, turning to the child beside him, he smiled and said...
“Susu... we’ll go in and check on Minnie first okay?”
Little Junsu nodded and Jaejoong slowly opened the door, “Min? Are you here?”
Jaejoong and Junsu found a small lump on the bed and they decided to investigate, JaeSu approached the lump cautiously and as quiet as they could... and... Jaejoong’s hunch was right... on Changmin’s bed was a cute boy of 3 years curled up and sleeping soundly.
Jaejoong felt an intense headache coming on... he was worried about a lot of things... what to tell the management... how the heck they can perform with 2 child members... what to tell YunHo and Chun...were their members vexed... what to tell their family and...most importantly, what would they wear!
Junsu tugged on Jaejoong’s pant leg and pointed to the sleeping Changmin, “umma... Min-ah, small like Su?”
Jaejoong sighed and patted the boy’s cheek, ignoring the fact that he was just called “umma” by the adorable boy... “Yes Su... let’s... um...leave Minnie here to sleep, we’ll go down first so we can get cookies...”
Junsu nodded and they walked to the direction of the stairs, once they got there... Junsu looked down... the stairs look awfully bigger and scarier than he last remembered... he looked at the stairs then at Jaejoong then back at the stairs before he bit his lower lip in nervousness.
Jaejoong felt the smaller hand grip his as soon as they reached the stairs... he crouched and smiled at the younger one... “Would you like me to carry you downstairs?”
The boy nodded and lifted his arms up for the older to carry him... at that point, Jaejoong felt some of his worries disappear magically and he smiled lifting the adorable boy into his arms and down the kitchen.
At the kitchen, Jaejoong placed Junsu on a chair and took out some of Changmin’s chocolate chip cookies (he own most of the food there) and a glass of orange juice. The boy immediately attacked the cookies, legs dangling on the chair...
“You’ve got the wrong number, I’m sorry you’ve got the wrong number”
Jaejoong wiped his hands and checked his phone, “my lovely Yunnie <3”, the lead singer flipped his phone open hurriedly and answered,
“Yunnie! Oh my God, you need to come home! Something’s wrong!”
He heard the man on the other line sighed and that same sinking feeling in his stomach was there again, “Yun? Is there anything wrong?”
“I’ll tell you when we get home...”
“Ah... all right... um, Yun... you... you’re still tall, right?”
Jaejoong pouted when he heard his lover chuckle in the background, “Yunnie!”
“Sorry BooJae, you’re just too cute. To answer your question, yes... I’m still tall. We’ll be there shortly, see you later, love you.”
“Un... love you too. Say hi to Chun for me.”
”Will do. Later...”
Jaejoong closed his mobile phone with a sigh and looked up to see the adorable boy looking at him while holding the half eaten cookie.
“Chunnie and Yun hyung coming home?”
Jaejoong removed the crumbs on Junsu’s mouth and smiled, “yeah... they’ll be here soon. Su, do you remember anything that happened before you became... like that?”
Junsu took another bite of his choco chip cookie and placed a finger on his now crumb filled chin attempting to seem seriously thinking though it just comes off as adorable, “Um... Chunnie said bye bye then I go up and look for clothes then head hurted...”
“Hurts Su...”
“Un?”
Jaejoong removed the crumb mess on Junsu’s face then explained with a smile on his face, “Susu... there’s no word such as “hurted”, you should say “hurt” or “hurts”... anyway, then what happened?”
“After head hurted...erm hurt... Su bumped with clothes then all fell on floor on Su then I shout reaaaally loud cause it dark...then Su can’t see anything anymore so cry...”
Jaejoong sighed, “That’s when I came in... I wonder what happened to you and Min. “
The door opened and the leader’s voice boomed from the living room, “We’re home.”
Junsu dropped the cookie he was eating and was attempting to go down but was having difficulty cause of his new height. Jaejoong lifted the boy and placed him on the ground and he ran really fast.
“Chunnie!”
“Aw... Su must have missed someone... ” the lead singer remembered the situation and ran after the 4 year old Junsu, “Su wait! They don’t know your situation yet!”
Junsu halted in front of a still adult YunHo who looked back and forth adult Jaejoong and the now kid Junsu...
“Yunnie, I don’t know how to explain but Su...”
The leader gave his lover a small awkward smile, “yeah...”
“Why are you not surprised?”
The lead singer looked at their leader, his doe eyes mirroring his confusion... YunHo scratched his head and turned a little, “you can come out Chun... “
A slightly taller 5 year old boy with a sheepish grin came out from behind the DBSK leader. He had his hands behind his back... a small shy smile on his face showing hints of a forming dimple on his cheeks... He rocked back and forth on his heel as he gave a little wave...
“Annyeong Jae hyung... Su-ie...”
“Yoochun?!” “Chunnie?!”
YunHo and the kid Yoochun both covered their ears at the high pitched shout of one adult and one child...
“Owwie... I think my ears are broken...”
YunHo rubbed his ears with one hand and the other patted the head of the five year old beside him who was pouting... “Jae, Su... have mercy on our eardrums please...”
“Yeah, have mercy...”
Jaejoong chuckled and reached for the older kid’s head, “ah... since when did you become Yunnie’s parrot hm?”
Yoochun swatted Jaejoong’s hand away and glared making the older chuckle, “Your glares are also cute, Chun ah... “
The younger one held his chin up and looked away now pouting cutely... Jaejoong chuckled again and Junsu frowned, he didn’t like it when his Chunnie was being teased.
“Umma don’t tease Chunnie! If Chunnie sad then Su sad too!”
Jaejoong patted Junsu’s cheek, “Sorry Su baby...I won’t tease him anymore...”
YunHo raised an eyebrow, “Umma?”
The lead singer scratched his unitchy head and smiled shyly, “he called me that earlier and I can’t resist his adorable face so I just conceded...”
The band leader nodded and crouched to reach eye level with the frowning 4 year old Junsu, “Su... your umma said he won’t tease Yoochun anymore so don’t frown. A cute boy like you should always smile.”
Junsu smiled and nodded, “Neh... appa.”
Jaejoong gasped and looked at the band leader who looked as surprised as he was... “er... why did you call YunHo... appa Susu?”
The 5 year old Yoochun had a smile on his face when he replied in behalf of Junsu, “It’s obvious Jae... you are our “umma” and YunHo hyung being your lover and our leader... of course is the appa...”
Junsu nodded, bobbing his head up and down violently and Jaejoong was reminded of the puppy decoration he has in his car.
Jaejoong sighed, “Chunnie, go change into...a different shirt. YunHo, please help Chun and change into something comfortable and I’ll get you guys something to eat. You all must be starving.”
YunHo nodded and patted Yoochun’s head, “come on Chun…”
“Min! No!!!!”
Yoochun screamed and YunHo ran as fast as he could to reach the now 3 year old Changmin trying to get down the stairs. The band leader effortlessly carried the 3 year old in his arms and walked down carefully.
Jaejoong immediately took the youngest into his arms and rained kisses on his cheek. The 3 year old frowned and wriggled as much as he can, the lead singer moved the boy a bit away from him and he smiled… “My Minnie baby is hungry, am I right?”
The youngest’s face immediately brightened and he nodded furiously. Jaejoong chuckled and kissed Changmin’s forehead one last time before grinning at the others. “Yunnie go on ahead and change into something comfortable... the kids can change later and I’ll set the table.”
Little Yoochun whispered to Little Junsu, “How did Jae hyung know that Minnie was hungry?”
Little Junsu scoffed, “Minnie is always hungwy...”
“You have a point.”
Jaejoong placed little Changmin down in front of the two other boys and ruffled Yoochun’s head, “Chunnie take care of the younger ones while I prepare food.”
Little Yoochun nodded and pulled little Changmin closer as he squealed trying to follow the eldest to the kitchen, “fooooooood!!!”
Little Junsu started to poke little Changmin’s cheek and the latter swatting and/or trying to bite Junsu’s hand away... Little Yoochun sighed and moved little Changmin on the other side, away from the slightly older one.
That action made little Junsu scowl and glare at the youngest who was staring longingly at the kitchen. Little Changmin felt the glare and he smirked...er smiled (do babies smirk?) at his Junsu hyung then hugged Yoochun who smiled and patted the youngest’s head.
Little Junsu scowled and puffed his cheeks... he pushed Little Changmin’s arms away from little Yoochun, weaving his chubby arms around the oldest kid, “Chunnie mine! Minnie don’t hug my Chunnie!”
Little Changmin stuck his tongue out and hugged little Yoochun’s arm, “Meh-rong!!”
Little Junsu hugged little Yoochun tighter, “Minnie meanie!!!! Off Chunnie! Minnie off!! ”
YunHo ran down the stairs and saw Little Junsu pushing the grinning little Changmin, “hey... hey! Stop that! What happened?”
Little Yoochun sighed and gave a helpless smile at the band leader, “I dunno YunHo hyung... Jae hyung asked me to take care of Minnie while he prepares and then they argued...”
YunHo raised an eyebrow and looked at little Junsu, “Su... why are you pushing Changmin?”
Little Junsu pouted, not letting go of little Yoochun... “Minnie no off Chunnie! Chunnie mine!”
Little Yoochun blushed and smiled awkwardly at the band’s appa. YunHo sighed and patted Junsu’s head; he knows how stubborn Junsu is when he decides on something so he decided to just take their youngest.
“Come on Min, I think Jae umma is done with the table.”
YunHo held his hand out for the youngest one to take... little Changmin grabbed YunHo’s index finger and he started walking as fast as his two chubby legs can. When little Changmin passed his Junsu hyung, he sneakily stuck out his tongue again at the already angry little Su.
Little Junsu bit his lower lip, trying to stop the tears threatening to fall from his eyes. Little Yoochun noticed this and patted Little Junsu’s arm, “Su-ie...what’s wrong?”
Little Junsu shook his head and used one of his hands to clumsily wipe the tears away. Little Yoochun frowned; he does not like seeing Junsu with red cheeks and puffy eyes. He caressed little Junsu’s cheek and smiled, not caring if all the bottled emotions were showing in his eyes... “Su-ie, I don’t like seeing you cry because I like you the most so please stop crying...”
Little Junsu’s eyes widened and he felt his cheeks burn so he buried his head on Little Yoochun’s chest making the latter hug the former a bit tighter.
“Aw... I never thought you were already this cheesy when you were at that age.”
Little Yoochun glared at Jaejoong who came to collect the two kids...the lead singer chuckled seeing the death glare little Yoochun was trying to show though it still looks more adorable than scary...
“Al l right YooSu kids, come along and eat lunch.”
Jaejoong held Junsu on one hand and Yoochun on the other... when they reached the dining table, YunHo smiled at the trio...
Jaejoong placed Junsu on his designated chair and Yoochun sat on his with a little difficulty. Once the kids are all settled (Changmin is sitting in a chair beside YunHo so the leader can take care of him better), they all resumed eating.
Little Yoochun calmly drank his warm milk and said, “Jae hyung...YunHo hyung, do you... have any idea what happened to us and if we are going to return back?”
The remaining adults looked at each other and shook their heads... “I’m sorry Chun. We both don’t have any clue.”
YunHo looked serious, “If it was something we ate then why am I still “tall” as BooJae puts it?”
“Yah!”
YunHo just chuckled and continued with his explanation, “same thing... if it was something airborne, I should have caught it too.”
Little Yoochun sighed and ate some more… Jaejoong was observing their (kids) bandmates and stared curiously at his soul mate. Little Yoochun sighed again and placed his chopsticks down, “Jae hyung… if you are curious about something then go ahead and ask.”
Little Junsu looked at little Yoochun with his bright eyes, seemingly amazed at what he had said… “Chunnie, how’d you know Jae umma wants to ask something?”
Jaejoong and little Yoochun smiled at each other and at the same time answered, “We’re soul mates, its a given.”
Jaejoong laughed and little Yoochun smiled, “I guess you don’t have to ask anymore huh Jae hyung?”
The lead singer nodded and he chuckled when he saw the confused look in his lover’s face, “Sorry Yunnie… I was just curious if they retained their memories as adults even though they were stuck in a kid’s body. Apparently, they are… judging from the way Chun answers.”
Suddenly the memories of earlier event are replayed on Little Junsu’s head… “Su-ie, I don’t like seeing you cry because I like you the most so please stop...”
