Title: Superstar part 19
Genre: romance, drama, failed comedy, yaoi, fluff, smut (future if I can do it)
Pairing: YooSu, YunJae, MinxOC (YunJi)
Summary: Junsu just came back from Japan to start a new life in Seoul. He had too much memories he would rather leave behind and he knows he can start anew in the land where he was born. Jaejoong is a pâtissier whose goal is to make his pastries known throughout the world. YunJi is someone who is escaping from his real identity. It is an interesting world for the Kims...
Micky Park is renowned worldwide for his achievements in the music and film industry but he can't seem to find the other half of
his heart...until he met the man named Kim Junsu. YunHo Jung has had his share of relationships with girls in the past but what is with the heart beat when he met the pâtissier named Kim Jaejoong? He is straight...right?
Changmin Jung was the youngest prodigy in business...together with his older brother, the Jungs were indestructible. But beneath that great businessman front lies a secret... something not even his brother or cousin know...
Chapter 19: Brotherhood and complications
Jaejoong kept pacing back and forth, hands gripping his mobile phone tightly. His three younger guests sat on the couch behind him trying to not make any noise because an angry Jaejoong is one you would not want to cross...
“Where the hell is that YunJi? And why is Junsu not responding to my messages? Will it hurt them to send even one fucking message to tell me they’re still alive?!”
“I’m sure YunJi hyung has a reason for being late, he has always been very punctual. Um... Junsu hyung might have forgotten the time since he went on a date today and is having fun...”
Jaejoong turned to glare at the person who spoke but his gaze immediately softened when he met the innocent eyes of Taemin, “I don’t really know Taeminnie. It just that I have this nagging feeling that something is wrong and not being able to reach the both of them isn’t helping my nerves at all.”
“U-um... b-but YunJi hyung has only been fifteen minutes late, right? He must be coming in soon...eep!”
Jonghyun hid behind Key to try and get away from Jaejoong’s heated stare, the scared dino was saved however when they heard the sound of the door opening...
“Jae umma... I’m sorry we’re late. We encountered so-”
Jaejoong rushed and flung the door open ready to give the younger Kim a piece of his mind but he halted as soon as he saw the state of YunJi and JinKi who had some cuts and bruises, “Oh my God! What happened to you!?”
YunJi gave an awkward smile and felt himself hauled inside the house with Jaejoong and Key immediately fussing over him. HyunJoong patted the head of JinKi who was left outside and chuckled, “Looks like our chief is very much loved. Will you be okay here?”
JinKi smiled and nodded, “at least we are saved from questions for now. Besides these wounds are a lot lesser than what we used to get. I can handle it.”
“JinKi hyung...”
JinKi turned and smiled when he saw Taemin holding some medical supplies with Jonghyun standing behind him,”the two of you will help me?”
Taemin nodded and grinned, “yeah... I’m not as good as Key hyung or Jae hyung but I’m not as useless as Jonghyun hyung. Hello HyunJoong hyung!”
“Hey! I’m not hopeless!! Hi hyung!”
JinKi chuckled and ruffled the younger Lee’s hair as he beamed at his other friend who was standing behind him, “...most of the time, Jjong. But really, thank you both. Genbu, I’ll be all right here. I expect the report by tomorrow afternoon. Thank you for taking us here.”
HyunJoong nodded and patted Taemin’s cheek before responding to Jinki, “I’ll be going now... there are things I need to do. I don’t think I can tell that bestfriend of mine that I’m leaving so can you tell Jaejoong for me?”
The youngest smiled and HyunJoong ruffled Taemin’s hair before giving a small salute to the direction of the Ishida Prince who was able to give a nod before he was fussed over again.
“...hyung, why do you always give a salute or a bow to YunJi hyung? You’re older than him aren’t you?”
A flick on the forehead was what Jonghyun got from the actor as he smiled wider, “it’s a sign of respect... my dear cousin... it has nothing to do with age. Anyway, I gotta go. I have a taping to go to in 20 minutes. Go straight home afterwards Dino. Aunt said you have given her all the gray hairs on her head.”
Jonghyun huffed and crossed his arms, “pft. Not my fault umma is old. I’m his youngest son so it’s natural for the gray hairs to appear.”
The older Kim chuckled before turning to JinKi, “I will be starting on the Prince’s command tonight. It will be ready as needed tomorrow. Although our identities are still hidden to Tsuchiura and the Black Rose group, I advise that you two try to keep a low profile. You both are the King and Queen of this game of chess, remember that.”
Taemin turned to Jonghyun who huffed loudly, “I hate it when you suddenly rant in a language I can barely understand.”
“I tried to get my coach to teach you but you declined so you can’t blame me.”
“That’s cause she tried to grope me several times, hyung! And she’s as old as umma!”
“Ooooohkay Jjong...”
“But its true hyung! I swear!”
HyunJoong chuckled then patted his cousin’s head and repeated his goodbyes before jogging down the stairs. Taemin then led the older Lee to the couch and started putting medicine on the cuts on JinKi’s face, “Jinki hyung... this will hurt a bit okay?”
JinKi nodded and flinched a little at the coldness of the alcohol filled cotton, “were you and YunJi hyung ambushed?”
“---ambushed?”
Jonghyun nodded, “yeah...I remember Jaejoong hyung saying that the two of you always get bullied for some reason. That’s not nice.”
“Jonghyun hyung is right. Being bullied for whatever reason is definitely wrong.”
JinKi smiled and ruffled Taemin’s hair, “don’t worry about us. Yun already gave them a piece of his mind. They won’t do that to us again.”
Jonghyun huffed disbelievingly and handed the band aids to Taemin, “YunJi hyung? Yeah right. Next time you’ll tell me he’s a prince.”
“Who knows? You know, looks can be deceiving…just like at first a fried chicken looks burnt but the inside is not.”
It was Taemin’s turn to smile as he placed one final band aid on his hyung’s head, “there… finished!”
YunJi plopped beside JinKi who patted Taemin’s cheek in gratitude, “finally released…I forgot that Key is here. It was like having two Jaejoong hyungs… Hey Taeminnie… Jjong, Key needs the two of you in the kitchen.”
“Hi YunJi hyung…thank you for relaying umma’s message.”
“Hi Ji hyung… as much as I want to stare at your beautiful face... I have to answer to my wife’s call. ”
Jinki snorted and muttered behind the dino’s retreating back, “He’s not yours...”
YunJi laughed softly and tried to make himself as comfortable as he can despite the injuries, “Jinnie-ya, you really need to tell that to the person concerned. And last I checked... my name’s not Kibum. Ow, darn my tummy hurt like hell.”
JinKi leaned on his bestfriend’s shoulder and sighed, “Genbu sure did not hold back… my cheek hurts a lot too.”
YunJi chuckled and patted Jinki’s thigh, “You’re changing the topic, Onew. I’m sorry though…. I told him not to hold back so it would seem believable. Next time I’ll make your injuries, how’s that?”
“Let’s talk about my love life or the lack of it some other time Ryou. It doesn’t help the fact that I feel like my head’s going to split.And s’okay, I can manage. I’ll just get my revenge during practices… I have this feeling that I’ll really have to go to the hospital if it was you.”
“I’m not that bad...”
JinKi ruffled his leader/bestfriend’s hair earning him a grunt, “I hope you haven’t forgotten that I know you more than you know yourself Kim YunJi.”
“Darling, so there you are…
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt…
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer”
The mafia leader stumbled out of the sofa, ignoring the pangs of fresh injuries and fetched his phone from inside his jacket, “Suzaku?”
JinKi watched the play of emotions on his bestfriend’s face and smiled when YunJi breathed a deep relieved breath that eventually transformed into a large grin. The young mafia leader resumed his position on the sofa after a few minutes, still smiling...
“I assume everything’s okay now?”
“Yeah. Yoochun nii is resting and Junsu niichan is in no danger though he hasn’t woken up yet. Let’s visit them later when Jae niichan is asleep. And it looks like Mr. Track Suit appreciated Seiryuu’s hospitality and has talked so we have another lead to Tsuchiura’s whereabouts. We’re getting ahead of Black Rose, Onew.”
“Finally, right Ji? Now can you move to the end and let me sleep on that scrawny lap of yours since you are the reason why my head hurts and my back has this large bruise.”
YunJi stuck his tongue out but did not budge from his seat, “I’m not scrawny... you just happened to have a little bit more meat in you.”
Jinki was about to retort when Taemin’s head appeared from the kitchen doorway, “Hyungdeul! Food is ready!”
“Thanks! Be there in a sec!”
The duo stood and slowly walked to the kitchen/dining area so they can start the party Jaejoong called “Thank you to destiny for getting Jaejoong and YunHo closer”.
“Don’t forget the ice cream again, Ji...”
“Yeah, I have it. Thank God I have extra money or we won’t have any ice cream for the party. I’ll have to charge Changmin extra for taking all those.”
Jinki whistled, “oh-ho... first name basis just after a day?”
“Shut up...”
“Or you’ll call Changmin?”
YunJi stopped and cracked his knuckles, “No... I’ll give you another bruise to worry about.”
Jinki ran as fast as he can to the kitchen, “I was just kidding! Jae hyung, YunJi is threatening meeeeeee!”
“Stop running around Jinki hyung or you might....”
*blag*
“...trip.”
JinKi raised a hand and allowed himself to be assisted by YunJi and Jaejoong, “its okay... I’m okay. Don’t worry.”
“Seriously Jinnie, be more careful... Key-yah...please put a bandage on my Jinnie’s butt!”
Key looked flabbergasted and JinKi stared at YunJi like he grew another head... Jaejoong laughed loudly and Taemin looked utterly confused while both Jonghyun and YunJi smiled.
“I was just kidding... let’s eat!!!!!”
========================================================================
Changmin fished out his phone and sighed when he found 50 missed calls from his YunHo hyung and 1 from his Jihoon hyung. The youngest Jung made sure the doors of his car are locked and he had the seatbelt on before deciding to call one of his brothers. After just one ring, a very worried YunHo answered, “Where are you?”
“Hi YunHo hyung... I just took YunJi home but I’m on my way to the restaurant. Am I the only one late?”
“No, we can’t reach Yoochun... he said he’ll be here a good half an hour ago but he hasn’t contacted again after that.”
Changmin heard his oldest brother speak in the background and he sighed, “I know where Yoochun hyung is but I’ll have to tell you guys later. Can we meet at home instead?”
A flat pause followed and the youngest Jung scratched his head, “YunHo hyung this is not a prank. I’m going straight home. Please tell Jihoon hyung the prince and I had a run-in with uglies. He’ll understand.”
“All right Min, drive safe.”
Changmin muttered a yeah and closed his phone before maneuvering the car towards the Jung residence.
After a good thirty minute drive, Changmin entered the Jung mansion and parked his car in front of the main door. One of their men was already waiting for the key which the youngest Jung gave before he semi walked/run inside.
“Hyungdeul?”
The youngest found his brothers in their main living room; the oldest with an unreadable expression and the second with worry reflected in his eyes.
“Changmin! What happened? Are you with Yoochun?”
Changmin shook his head and stood still... JiHoon stood between his two brothers and spoke, “Min? It’s okay to cry... we won’t think less of you.”
“Hoonie hyung.... I’m not five anymore.”
JiHoon laughed and ruffled the youngest’s head before settling back to the seat across him, “so... how bad is the damage?’
“Damage? What damage?”
Changmin plopped beside the oldest Jung and raked his hand on his hair, “we won... but it wasn’t easy. I am still waiting for an update from the prince at this moment though Suzaku said they should be okay.”
“Suzaku? Prince? What? Damage? ”
JiHoon crossed his legs, completely ignoring YunHo’s questions, “And what about Ryou?”
“Dead furious… just a look sent some men running.”
YunHo plopped in between his brothers (almost sitting on Changmin in the process) and pouted, “I can’t understand what you are saying!!!! Who is Ryou? What damage? Where’s Yoochun?”
Changmin snorted and laid his head on the sofa, “stop pouting hyung… you look constipated.”
“Ryou is the boy Changmin is in love with. As for Yoochun and the damages… care to explain more, Min?”
Changmin nodded and his face turned serious, “Yoochun hyung… and Junsu hyung… they were ambushed. Yoochun hyung was shot on the stomach and Junsu hyung was unconscious...b-”
“He was what?! Why didn’t you say so earlier?! We were chatting here like nothing is wrong and Yoochun is somewhere I don’t know with a hole on his stomach!”
Changmin turned helplessly at his oldest brother as YunHo shook the life out of him. JiHoon leaned on the sofa and sighed, “YunHo… get your hands off Changmin. Do you think he would be sitting here as calm as he is now if his dear Chun hyung is definitely in trouble?”
YunHo dropped his hold on Changmin’s shirt and plopped on the sofa making JiHoon smile, “Now Minnie dear please continue your story…”
The youngest Jung frowned at his oldest brother before continuing his story, “as I was saying... Ryou and I were able to get there on time. With his help, Yoochun hyung is currently being examined by someone now and I should be getting the call... right about now.”
Just as the youngest Jung predicted, his phone rang and he stood to answer, “yoboseyo? Yeah... that’s great! When can we see him? Really? I know. Ice cream? Ooooh right! In the car?”
YunHo watched as his younger brother walk away with phone onhand, “that creepy ability of his to predict when a person would call is downright freaky.”
JiHoon who opened up his laptop just smiled at YunHo, “that’s just how good he is Yun.”
From the balcony of the house, the youngest shouted, “Hyungdeul! My honey said Yoochun hyung is out of danger!”
YunHo raised an eyebrow and JiHoon smirked, “looks like even the kid got ahead of you... better find someone to replace that bi...I mean... ex girlfriend of yours or Changmin will marry ahead of you.”
“Changmin! Ask your honey where Yoochun is and I’ll go visit!”
“He’s at the Ishida main building, YunHo hyung.”
“Ah Ishida building... should be the large building in the central... oh crap... you don’t mean THE Ishida group? JUNG CHANGMIN SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAFIA?! Take me to Yoochun now! We need to get him out of there!”
JiHoon sighed and threw a pillow at his younger brother’s back, “quit yelling will ya? Fetch my glasses from the main office. Should be on top of my briefcase...”
“B-but Yoochun is with...”
“...”
YunHo sighed and walked towards the oldest’s office to get his glasses just as Changmin walked back into the room, “hyung...”
“I think its time to enlighten YunHo about our other job.”
“Are you sure Hoonie hyung? I really don’t want to get YunHo hyung involved as much as possible.”
“It can’t be helped. I didn’t plan on our cousin falling in love with the prized nightingale. We can’t hide everything from him if we want to protect Yoochun while protecting Xiah.”
“This isn’t going to be easy hyung...”
“I know Minnie... believe me I know.”

JiHoon sighed and threw a pillow at his younger brother’s back, “quit yelling will ya? Fetch my glasses from the main office. Should be on top of my briefcase...”
“B-but Yoochun is with...”
“...”
YunHo sighed and walked towards the oldest’s office to get his glasses just as Changmin walked back into the room, “hyung...”
“I think its time to enlighten YunHo about our other job.”
“Are you sure Hoonie hyung? I really don’t want to get YunHo hyung involved as much as possible.”
“It can’t be helped. I didn’t plan on our cousin falling in love with the prized nightingale. We can’t hide everything from him if we want to protect Yoochun while protecting Xiah.”
“This isn’t going to be easy hyung...”
“I know Minnie... believe me I know.”
