A/N: This is my sorry for slacking on updates gift and is dedicated to ttaejoong_hyuk for being the first to voice curiosity, I can assure you that it did not kill the cat; it just gave it cooties....
It was Christmas and Park Jaebum was grateful for a lot of things. He was grateful he was able to debut, to be leader of six crazy amazing guys, to be gaining success, but today on the Christmas shooting of Idol Army Jaebum was particularly grateful for one thing and one thing alone; he was on the starting end of the paper-kissing-game thing from hell! Apparently, Idol Army wanted 2PM and 2AM to swap cooties; and then DIE!!! Jay will be eternally grateful for not having to inhale the cooties of another man that day. (Otherwise he was pretty good and this suck and blow thing…)
However, for all this gratefulness, Jaebum was also sad. They had to pair up with 2AM and as much as he loved those four, and was NOT a homophobe, there was someone else he much rather be paired up with. Even though he was leader, he was still too shy, no, too scared to confess to the other. It was more than a fear of rejection; it was a fear of ridicule. To add to that, his baby Junho was sick and couldn’t shoot with them - he tried to get the boy up, but his cold wiped him out and he slept in. The Appa in Jay wanted Junho to have the day to rest, while the leader in him wanted all seven men to always be together. Jay could see how his absence was effecting the others. Wooyoung was close to lethargic - compared to his usual behavior (especially when the cameras were on) and he even necked with Khun (I still don’t trust that guy). Chansung was more tame and all but docile - until they got to the kissing game. Oh is he going to have a talk with that kid when they get home. Those guys must really be missing their friend. Also, what was up with Changmin? First he singles out Junsu, then tries to maul him! Obviously this was some kind of conspiracy to take out the competition…Park Jaebum will not stand for this! Where’d he run off to?
Jaebum, in a quest to confront his Changmin-hyung about kissing Junsu to death on television after the Idol Army shoot, found himself a bit (lost) turned around . He was alone in an unfamiliar area of the studio and no one was around. Jay was not a guy to get scared easily, but his habit of jumping to conclusions easily always had him on edge. After a good five minutes of going in circles Jay was pissed, until he heard the noises in the closet. Either Changmin knew he was on to him and was hiding or a cat was going to jump out at him when he opened that door - because he knew that that was how things worked. Cats are always hiding in closets and cabinets to scare the crap out of unsuspecting people.
Jay tiptoed toward the supplies labeled door and kissed his ear to it. There was heavy breathing and rustling. Changmin MUST be inside! Jay took a step back, took a deep breath and held onto the door knob and swung the offending barrier open…
“Jaebum-hyung? Are you okay?” Junsu was looking over his leader, a worried expression gracing his usually smiling face.
“Out of the way guys, I got an ice-pack.” Taecyeon appeared over the leader, looking like some sort of giant angel to Jay, whose vision was still blurry. He gratefully accepted the ice-pack and placed it on the side of his throbbing head.
“The fuck happened?” Jay was too blitzed from fainting to remember how to make his tongue say things in Hangul.
“You went off before us and we couldn’t find you so we all split up and Jinwoon and Seulong found you lying here.” Taecyeon stared at his leader’s form as if doing an appraisal.
Those guys!! Now Jay was remembering what he had seen, they had some explaining to do. He scanned what felt like a crowd but was just nine worried boys, well eight since Nichkhun was an evil genius and didn’t really worry about his best friend over such trivial things as this. Jaebum spotted the two faces he was looking for. They were practically huddled together and the younger was chewing on his lip. How could Jay stay mad at that? Jinwoon had an eye-smile almost as cute as his own baby Junho. He wouldn’t rat on the kid he wasn’t Chansung, and he wouldn’t blackmail the kid he wasn’t Nichkhun, but he did want to know what the hell was going on!
“I’m okay, I just must have gotten low blood sugar or something…maybe an aftershock of Young Ran Noona overdose…” he laughed it off. He was trying not to let his band mates worry over him, that was his job after all.
Taecyeon held his hand out to Jaebum who just stared at it. Nichkhun finally made a move and pulled Jay up from behind by his armpits, understanding full well that Jay would not take an offered hand. The man didn’t like skin on skin touches. The lift was sudden and abrupt but Jay was grateful to not have to turn down his favorite band member. Sometimes having Nichkhun as a bestie was alright.
“We don’t have time for you to remember how to stand up, let’s go. I bet Junho is missing us all!” At Nichkhun’s statement it was like a light shone down on Wooyoung and Chansung who suddenly ran ahead of the slow moving group to the exit.
Jay lagged behind, avoiding a hurt looking Taecyeon and wanting to talk to Jinwoon alone.
“How long?” Jay wanted to get to the point.
“How long what, hyung?” Jinwoon was trying to play dumb, but he was awful at lying.
“How long has Seulong been trying to suck your face off in supply closets?” Jay raised an eyebrow.
Jinwoon blushed, but remained quiet.
“I honestly thought that he was trying to suck your tongue out of your mouth and that you had that leg,” he poked at Jinwoon’s left thigh, “Wrapped around him as some sort of leverage to push him off. Then I realized your arms were wrapped around his neck, not trying to choke him in defense and your hands were even running in his hair.”
The younger man kept his silence, but was now a healthy shade of scarlet.
“You are either awful at defending yourself or you really like that giant.” Jaebum stopped Jinwoon, who had already slowed his pace with each word from his hyung. “Hey, Jinnie. Look at me.”
Jinwoon lifted his head to the old nickname Jaebum used to call him in the training days, he had begun to cry.
“ You’re still in high school. He’s older. I want you to be sure you know what you’re doing.”
Jinwoon nodded his head, understanding that his hyung was merely concerned about him and not trying to hurt him.
“I’m not going to tell on you since this is obviously a secret, but I want to make sure you are okay with that. Love is hard and it is even harder when you have to hide it, especially from crazy friends like Jo Kwon and Changmin.”
Jinwoon giggled and wiped at his tears. “Thanks Bummie-hyung, Junho was right about you being like an Appa.” Jay reached up and patted Jinwoon on the head. “He confessed a few weeks ago and you’re right, we haven’t told anyone. I was too shy and afraid Jo Kwon and Changmin would make us spilt up because they always treat me like a baby. But I swear it was the first time we ever kissed like that.” He was playing with the hem of his shirt. “I guess the kissing game made him jealous. All of a sudden I got dragged back there when filming wrapped up. The way he looked at me, oh hyung-” Jinwoon was beyond scarlet and had his hands on his cheeks.
“It’s alright Jinwoon. I think. Jealousy can do that to people, but you guys need to be more careful of where you make-out and learn to use a lock.” Jay nudged the boy who giggled again.
“Yea hyung.” Jinwoon nodded.
“So he really wasn’t trying to eat you up, literally? Because I have a conspiracy about that -” Jay was cut off by a shout from the ever annoying Nichkhun.
“Move your ass old man!” The Thai Prince may be his best friend, but he was also the bane of his existence. Just when he was having a nice chat with his favorite 2AM dongsaeng he gets interrupted.
“No conspiracy, Jaebummie-hyung. Just kissing.” Seulong had come to fetch them and laced his fingers with Jinwoon. Seulong could feel the piercing stare of his hyung. “I promise Jaebum-hyung, I love this kid, I’ll keep him safe.” The words may have been directed at Jaebum, but Seulong’s eyes never left Jinwoon. Jay could feel his heart squeeze. It was so adorable how they were looking at each other. One day Jay would like to have a giant of him own. The older gave his younger boyfriend a quick peck before they started to catch up with the rest. Jay just stood there thinking about what he had just seen and compared it to what he saw in the closet.
“Jinnie I think you should start going to the gym more. We’ll go together. It is not safe for you to go around unable to defend yourself!” Jay practically yelled after the couple.
The two groups finally organized themselves and piled into vans and went off to collect Junho so that they could properly celebrate Christmas together, all 11 of them.
