~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHAPTER 15~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(KOREAN OLYMPIC STADIUM)
The DBSK staff, members, and Min Ri all gingerly step out onto the stadium’s lawn. It was a nice day, not too chilly with just a few clouds in the sky.
“Aahhhh it’s been such a long time since we’ve been here!” Changmin exclaims happily as he runs out to the grassy spot in the middle of the track.
“But hey, focus! We’re here for a reason…to promote exercising and to show off our athletic abilities…again” Yunho shouts vainly after Changmin.
Jaejoong approaches Yunho and drapes an arm over his shoulder, already given up on the maknae of the group.
“Yeah but what’s the harm in a little fun before schedule?” comes Changmin’s shout.
Yunho shrugs helplessly before he breaks into a little jog to catch up to Changmin, who by now found a ball left on the field and was playing with it.
“The manager and director photographer are still discussing the exact filming schedule sooooo…want to race me Min Ri?” Junsu says in his eager voice.
Min Ri laughs. “Race? Me? Against you? First the tooth-brushing every morning and video games and now racing? Ah Junsu oppa…”
Junsu O^O *whimper whimper*
Min Ri ^^* “Ok then, ok then…”
“I’ll be the judge!” Yoochun shouts happily.
He loves sports just as much as the others but he wasn’t about to get into a neck-to-neck race with his Junsu. It was still morning, he was lazy, and his systems still weren’t all up-and-running.
Junsu and Min Ri walk over to the chalk-drawn white lines on the track. Junsu does a little jump to get pumped up as Min Ri just sighs and shakes her head defeatedly.
“Ok, get in your positions…ready…set…PSHEW!!!!!” And he fakes a gun shot noise as the two start sprinting.
“Don’t think…I’m going easy on you….just cause you’re a girl!” Junsu says between breaths.
“I know…and thanks!” Min Ri grins as she starts to pull ahead of Junsu as they race back to Yoochun.
She starts to run on the tips of her toes and thanks God for Nike sneakers that fly.
“Wow, is that Min Ri? Sure runs fast…” Yunho says to Changmin and Jaejoong who were standing and stretching in the middle of the field.
Jaejoong shades his eyes and squints in the distance as Changmin shrugs and starts dribbling the soccer ball that was there.
“Aren’t you gonna lift up your head for one second to see how fast your Min Ri runs?” Jaejoong says to Changmin.
“Since when was she ‘mine’???” Changmin says calmly as he continues dribbling the ball without lifting his gaze. “If I’m not mistaken, she is YOUR child, mother Theresa Jaejoo-OW OW OW OW OW!” he winces as Jaejoong grabs him from behind in a head noogie.
Jaejoong glances at Yunho who had his arms crossed across his chest with an amused look on his face and mouths “Oh the ChangRi couple~”
Jaejoong half-smiles and rolls his eyes as if saying, “I know. These two~”
Meanwhile with the mock-race. . .
'No way…she’s gonna beat me?!?' Junsu thinks horrified. 'I can’t allow my pride as a man to go down the drain like this from this one race! And I was the one that challenged her in the first place! If I'd known our schedule drained me this much I'd never...'
Gathering all of his last energy he closes his eyes and shrieks a high-pitched “WAAAAHHH!” charging full-throttle towards the line and ramming into Yoochun head first, causing both of them to fall down onto the grass.
“Oof you idiot, keep your eyes OPEN when you run! Even a kid in GRADE school knows that, that’s one of the first unspoken obvious rules! Owwww, just for that I should declare Min Ri the winner!” Yoochun says as he tries to push Junsu’s dead weight off of him.
Seeing Junsu’s mortified look at Yoochun and his wide eyes, Min Ri says, “It’s ok, it’s ok Yoochun oppa!” She laughs and holds her side from her exertion. “Junsu won fair and square!”
Junsu whoops and skips off happily.
Yoochun walks over to Min Ri and pats her on the back, asking her in English “You ok?”
“Yeah, I’m ok. I should be asking YOU that. I wasn’t the one he fell on.”
“Nahh that pabo Junsu…he’s fallen on me many times before- both physically and amorously” Yoochun says batting his eyes at her.
Min Ri laughs.
“Ahhh Junsu…he really drives everyone to the max…”
“Hehe, that should be Changmin you’re talking about, not Junsu.”
“Ha. Ha. Ha. What are you implying?”
“Nothing mademoiselle”
". . ."
Junsu, who was still skipping along on the grassy area, catches sight of the other three members lazily passing the soccer ball from one to the other and he immediately forgets his fatigue and gets another idea in his head.
A smile spreads across his face as he scolds himself for not thinking of this before-
“Hey hey! Ok ok, now let’s go play soccer!” Junsu says as he runs back to Yoochun and Min Ri and, grabbing Min Ri’s hand, drags her over to where Changmin was currently dribbling the ball.
Min Ri looks back at Yoochun as he shrugs and lifts his arms in the air as if saying “What can I do? You’re on your own with Junsu the soccer maniac. Have fun~”
“Ahh but but Junsu I don’t really know how to play soccer! I’m not athletic! I have no hand-eye coordination! I stink at this! I’m an amateur!” Min Ri spouts whatever excuses first pop into her mind.
“Nooo problem!” Junsu, ever resourceful, happily says.
“Changmin, teach her how to dribble the ball with her knees.”
Changmin takes one look at her up and down and arches his eyebrow.
“Junsuuuu” Changmin complains. “Why don’t you do it since you’re the soccer fana-OOF!”
“Better yet how about a two on two game?” Jaejoong says, ramming his arm into Changmin’s stomach to make him silent. He smiles brightly at Junsu and Min Ri as Changmin rubs his stomach and scowls at Jaejoong for being so rough. So many abuses and one-touches from Jaejoong today, Changmin notes in his mental chart. He’ll definitely repay his hyung later, with interest.
“Ah, I promise my skills are that of a newbie when it comes to soccer, so don’t worry!” Jaejoong announces to Min Ri in hopes of comforting her.
'Psh, yeah right…' Changmin thinks.
“Ok ok!” Junsu says excitedly. The game hadn’t started and already he was giddy.
“Min Ri and I will be one team,” cutting Min Ri off as she was about to make one last attempt at stepping out of this game.
“That leaves Soulfighter as the other team! Yeahh!” Jaejoong says as he waves one fist in the air. Changmin sighs and shakes his head with his hands on his hips.
Yunho, who by now was over to the side with Yoochun, lays one of his arms casually on Yoochun’s shoulder.
“This is bound to be hilarious.”
Yoochun snorts.
And Yunho was right.
Pretty soon, half of the staff watched the ‘game’ as Junsu and Min Ri versed Jaejoong and Changmin.
“Hey, I thought you said your skills were that of a newbie!” Min Ri frowns as Jaejoong manages to kick the ball through her legs.
“Yeah? Well you don’t seem like a newbie yourself! You’re friggin’ fierce!” Jaejoong counters as Min Ri steals the ball from him and passes it to Junsu.
"Jaejooooooong! Language languaaaaage!" comes Yunho's faint yell from across the field as Yoochun laughs.
"Aish!!" Jaejoong ignores Yunho and continues in his concentration in the game, as Min Ri again blocks him.
Junsu gives her a mega-watt grin as he continues running down the field with the ball.
Yunho cups his hands over his mouth again.
“Jaejoong I said WATCH IT or you're getting it at home later!”
“UUUUUUURRRRR~!”
"Stop Yoochun!"
“OY BE QUIET YOU TWO I’M BUSY HERE AND TRYING NOT TO TOTALLY FAIL!” Jaejoong yells
Junsu manages to whack the ball so that it flies through Changmin’s outstretched hands.
“One to one! Wheee!” Junsu laughs.
Min Ri laughs at Junsu’s infectious game spirit. Apparently he has the ability to make anyone around him get into the game and enjoy it.
As Yunho and Yoochun stand on the sidelines and half-joke to each other, they overhear the staff next to them talking.
“The guys are good but who’s that girl again?” one of the staff members say to the camera person.
“That girl? Yeah…I wonder who she is” the cameraman responds and lifts up his camera to take a few pictures and record some bits.
Yunho immediately jumps in. “Ah, no, please!”
The cameraman turns to him surprised.
“She’s part of the staff as well so it wouldn’t be right since the staff is confidential. Plus…you should save the film for later!”
“Good point good point” the cameraman nods his head and lowers his camera.
“Uh-oh, manager’s coming” Yoochun whispers to Yunho as a little figure advances towards them from afar.
Yoochun cups his hands over his mouth and shouts like a megaphone “Tiiiiime to wrap it up you guys…and girl! The miniature world cup event is now drawing to a close so everyone get ready! Not to worry, you can get the famous Junsu’s soccer autograph later, if you can catch him! And I’m sorry folks but we will not be chanting ‘Ole ole’ afterwards,” causing the entire staff to burst out laughing.
Junsu kicks the ball to Min Ri as she lifts it into the air with her foot and kicks it hard with her head. The ball flies in an arch, going going, high over Changmin’s head, approaching him. He crouches down and takes one giant leap as his fingertips barely graze the ball and slip through his fingers.
“OOOOOHHHH!” the staff, Yunho, and Yoochun all shout and clap and cheer.
Min Ri holds her head with one hand, side-stepping here and there, muttering “Owwww that hurt! How do those soccer players do it?!?”
Junsu approaches her and, laughing, says “Brick heads, brick heads. Good job! We won 3 to 2! JUN-RI WHOOOO!” and he jumps up and down in the air.
“Jun-ri? Who’s Jun-Ri?” Min Ri says as she looks around confusedly.
She catches an amused Jin Jeong off to the side shaking her head and laughing.
“We are. I just came up with our team’s name.”
“Haha great, but you came up with a team name at the very end of the match!”
“Oh... See, I told you, brick heads. Euu kyang kyang!”
“Not bad you two, that was fun” Jaejoong says as him and his soulfighter approach.
“Ok ok, you guys...what on EARTH was that?” the manager eyes the four players. They made a hell of a lot of noise as he was talking to photographer and he found it hard to concentrate on the conversation.
The guys shuffle and remain quiet, trying to think of what to respond.
“Warming up for a world cup?” Min Ri says, still holding her head.
The guys look on incredulously and the staff all started laughing. It took guts to stand up to the manager.
“Ok ok we’re getting ready so please get to your places everyone!” the director’s voice comes from across the field.
-Later-
So the guys all get together and do what they do: hold competitions and contests to who can run fastest (Jaejoong from being constantly chased by Changmin), who can arm wrestle best (Yunho, hands down), who knew the most sports terms (Junsu by far), who could sing and run at the same time- Yoochun faked a coughing fit as he pretended agrass got stuck in his throat, letting Junsu win- and then wrapped it up with a nice ending and album promotion.
“Ok guys thank you! That’s it everyone!We still have time so everyone can relax and go home safely!”
“Aww I want to play more ball games” Min Ri hears Junsu say to Yoochun as the two walk with their arms slung around each other’s shoulders.
“Be grateful pabo yah that you got to play a little soccer and actually came to the arena again! You sports-in-my-blood-talented-charismatic-person you.”
“But I want to play moooore. Maybe not soccer but something else…pingpong or basketball or dodgeball…”
“That sounds like a good idea Susu, I miss dodgeball” Jaejoong wraps his arm around Junsu’s other shoulder.
“Yeah, I miss aiming for you and actually getting to hit with all my strength” Changmin teases Jaejoong.
“And then giving him bruises for me to put bandages on?” Yunho arches his eyebrow
“What? Don’t tell me you don’t LIKE doing it!” Changmin and Jaejoong both say at the same time.
Yoochun and Junsu laugh.
"Ok ok so let's play ONE game of dodgeball...one game..." and Junsu reaches over and pulls Min Ri to them.
"Wh-what? Agai-"
"Five isn't an even number." Junsu says with a sweet smile.
"*groans*Junsu..."
“Hey guys…do you want to play a round of dodgeball?” Junsu yells to the others
“Hell yes!”
They split into Jae-min-su on one team and Ho-chun-ri on the other.
“YO JIN UNNIE, WANNA JOIN?!?” Min Ri shouts over to Jin Jeong.
“ARE YOU NUTS, GIRL?!? DO I LOOK LIKE THE TYPE OF IDIOT TO KILL MYSELF OVER A BALL?!? I’LL PASS!” she shouts back as the guys and few remaining staff laugh.
“OK OK! I FORGIVE YOU! I STILL LOVE YOU!” Min Ri teases to her
“I KNOW I LOVE YOU TOO NOW GO PLAY AND DON’T GET A BLACK EYE 'CAUSE I'M SURE NOT COVERING IT UP FOR YOU!”
“MANAGER-HYUNG! WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN??” Junsu asks the manager as the other four guys look on.
The manager and director look up, the silent message clear- “Are you kidding??”
So starts a dodgeball match with all of them doing weird poses, not taking this seriously at all.
At one point, a pouting Min Ri points out, “Hey why are you always aiming at me?!?” as she sprints to the side to miss the ball Changmin threw at her.
A furious Changmin responds “Well why are YOU always aiming at ME?!? AH my butt! You just barely missed it! Stop Jaejoong, stop laughing Junsu!”
“Simple! Because Jaejoong’s got Yunho and Yoochun’s got Junsu!”
“OY! WE HEARD THAT!!!”
“YOU KNOW SHE’S TRUE THOUGH~ FAN SERVICE OR NOT, THE FEELING’S MUTUAL~” Changmin admits as he aims a ball at Yoochun’s head and misses.
Yoochun sticks his tongue out at him and crows in triumph.
Jaejoong turns to him, ball in hand. “Do you want me to land you on the floor right now? I don’t care if you’re on my side or not!”
"Don't you DARE or there will be one touch HELL to pay later on."
“Go ahead, land Jaejoong! One less person to worry about!” Yunho shouts
Jaejoong closes his eyes and goes, “Yunho, you know I love you and usually agree with you but” - he suddenly turns and throws the ball straight to Yunho- “this time you’re going down not Changmin!” as Yunho attempts to catch the ball but drops it.
"WAHHH!!!" Jaejoong yells and jumps up in the air.
In the end the Jae-su-min team wins.
Junsu drapes one arm around each of his winning comrades as Yoochun rolls his eyes.
“The ever victorious champion- Junsu. Now get away from me and go take a shower."
Junsu grins, ignoring him and starts chanting- “Ole ole, ole ole~”
