Volume One :: Chapter One


In a single dorm room, shared by five brand new korean idols, two of the five remained. Sun spilled through the cream colored curtains that hung over the sliding glass door on one side of the room, which led outside to a small balcony. Pictures covered the walls, which was much like a reminder to all of them. They had good times; bad times; family and friends who loved them; and fans who adored them. A smaller room lay beyond the main sleeping quarters, which served as somewhat of a dressing area. To the right side of this dressing room, there was the bathroom; and on the left, the kitchen. Three beds were neatly made and unoccupied. A fourth bed was unmade and unoccupied, while a fifth bed was unmade and very much occupied--not only by one person, but two. Their light, rhythmic breathing could barely be heard as the room slowly lit up with the sunrise. A ray of sunlight bounced off the sliding glass window, and poured across the face of Kim Jae Joong.

Jaejoong's eyes fluttered open as he felt Yunho's arm slide around his waist from behind, then pull him close. He sighed against Jaejoong's neck, enticing a gasp to escape his lips.

"Yunho..." Jaejoong whispered, snuggling into him.

"Mmm?" Yunho replied.

"It's morning, we have to go down to the studio and start practicing."

"Mmmmm I know..."

"Yun H--" Jaejoong began, but was hushed as Yunho touched his lips gently to the back of Jaejoong's neck. Yunho's hand moved down from Jaejoong's waist, and slipped under his shirt.

"We need to go where...?" Yunho whispered against Jaejoong's skin. Jaejoong's body curled back into Yun Ho's as he felt a hand caressing his stomach.

"Studio..." Jaejoong managed to say, then twisted around quickly to face Yunho. Yunho smiled, then kissed Jaejoong on the forehead.

"You're cute when you sleep...you make these little scrunched up hamster faces..." Yunho whispered, brushing some stray hair from Jaejoong's face.

"I do not!" Jaejoong replied with a shocked pouty expression, then raised his hand to slap Yunho's arm. But, just before his hand came down, Yunho grasped it. Then, he locked his arm around Jaejoong's waist, along with his now restrained hand, and pulled him close enough to where their lips met. Jaejoong fought playfully for a moment, but Yunho held him tighter and deepened the kiss until the fighting ceased. When he felt it was no longer necessary to keep Jaejoong's arm behind his back, he let it go free. Yunho's hands moved to hold either side of Jaejoong's face, while Jaejoong's hands slipped around Yunho's waist. They kissed for quite a long moment, then finally separated. Jaejoong leaned forward, resting his forehead against Yunho's.

"You want to skip practice today...?" Yunho whispered, grinning devilishly.

"Won't we get in trouble?" Jaejoong asked, raising his eyebrows.

"We won't if no one finds out. We can make up a reason for not being at practice..." Yunho shrugged, but not losing his grin.

"You're adorable when you grin, Yunho..." Jaejoong whispered, kissing him gently on the nose. Yunho grinned wider, as a sort of play on the compliment.

"What kind of excuse should we make? It could be anything really, the producer won't even be there for the shoot today...I don't think," Yunho said, silently scheming.

"Well, my mom was going to come by today and watch the shoot. I guess I can just tell everyone that she's planning to go to Hong Kong and visit some relatives, and she wants me to help her pack..." Jaejoong said, smiling at Yunho.

"That'll work perfectly!" Yunho replied, moving his hands down to Jaejoong's waist to tickle him.

"No!" Jaejoong laughed, trying to pull away, but to no avail. He sat up in bed, trying to get away from Yunho's attack.

"You can do better than that!" Yunho laughed, sitting up with him as he tickled him harder. Jaejoong broke into a loud fit of laughter, still trying to push Yunho's hands away. Then, he suddenly got an idea.

"Stop! Haha...look haha...Chang hahahaha Min!" Jaejoong laughed, trying as hard as he could to have a serious face. Jaejoong pointed behind Yunho, but his plan didn't succeed, for only the wall remained behind Yunho.

"Nice try," Yunho laughed sarcastically, digging his fingers deeper into Jaejoong's sides. At the last minute, his arms shot up around Yunho's neck. Jaejoong quickly pulled Yunho toward him and their lips met in a hard kiss. Almost immediately, Yunho's fingers fell away as Jaejoong forced his tongue past Yunho's already parted lips. Yunho's eyes closed slowly, while his arms lay limp at his sides. Jaejoong pulled him closer, prolonging the kiss as long as he could. He was now getting into the more romantic aspect of his actions, rather than the distraction he originally intended it to be. Jaejoong stood up on his knees and moved forward, forcing Yunho to lean back. Finally, his hands lay flat against the bed sheets on either side of Yunho's shoulders, while Yunho was now on his back. Jaejoong's legs were stradling Yunho's waist, while his arms remained straight out, holding him up above Yunho. When Yunho broke the kiss, Jaejoong looked down at him.

"I always win..." Jaejoong smiled.

"Because I let you," Yunho said back, reaching his hands back up to begin tickling Jaejoong again.

"I don't think so!" Jaejoong shrieked, moving back as his hands shot out and grabbed Yunho's tightly. With one quick movement, Jaejoong pinned Yunho's hands down on either side of his head.

"That won't stop me," Yunho grinned, grinding his waist against Jaejoong's inner thighs.

"Stop..." Jaejoong whispered, trying to sit up slightly so he wouldn't feel Yunho's waist against him.

"Oh come on...if we're going to skip practice we might as well make use of the time," Yunho whispered back, trying to pull his hands free.

"I thought we could go to the city and shop for awhile...we really haven't had time to hang out anymore," Jaejoong pouted, absent mindedly releasing his hold on Yunho's hands as he folded his arms.

"Hah!" Yunho laughed, sitting up and tackling Jaejoong once again with a frenzy of tickling.

"Yunho, stop!" Jaejoong whimpered in between gasping laughs.

"Okay, okay..." Yunho said, taking his hands away. Yunho then put his palms flat on the bed behind him so as to keep himself proped up.

"Can we go shopping?" Jaejoong asked, making a goofy smile.

"Wait, you helping your mother pack for this imaginary trip is fine, but why am I not showing up?" Yunho asked back, frowning slightly.

"She's giving you a belated birthday present before she leaves!" Jaejoong replied thoughtfully. But the reply was so quick that it made Yunho wonder how this boy's mind really worked.

"Sounds fine to me, now if we can get the other three to buy it," Yunho said, moving onto his knees as he crawled his way toward Jaejoong.

"You're not gonna get me this ti--ah!" Jaejoong screeched. Yunho grabbed his leg just as he had turned to get away. Yunho slowly pulled Jaejoong underneath him, all the while, Jaejoong just playfully tried to grab at the sheets to keep from being pulled anywhere. Yunho moved on top of Jaejoong, then lowered his waist onto Jaejoong's hips, pinning him.

"I'm not gonna get you, huh?"

"Yeah, well..." Jaejoong blushed, covering his face.

"You can't tell me you don't like this," Yunho laughed softly, moving his hips back and forth across Jaejoong's waist.

"I can't..."

"Can't what?"

"I can't...take this..." Jaejoong groaned, placing his hands against Yunho's stomach in a weak effort to push him off. Now it was Yunho's turn to pin Jaejoong's hands to the bed, which was done in a few swift movements. Before Jaejoong realized it, Yunho's face was only inches from his.

"You're adorable when you beg," Yunho whispered, then kissed Jaejoong gently on the lips. Jaejoong bent upward to return the kiss, but Yunho pulled back.

"That's not fair," Jaejoong protested, twisting his wrists under Yunho's grasp.

"I thought we were going shopping? This kind of thing can wait until we get back, can't it?" Yunho joked, releasing Jaejoong's hands.

"We are going shopping!" Jaejoong said, quickly pulling himself away from Yunho. "After we let the others know where we're not really going!"

"Good plan," Yunho laughed, pulling himself off the bed to get dressed. Jaejoong quickly threw on a pair of faded jeans, and an old Gia shirt, and darted toward the door.

"You get ready, and I'll go tell everyone where we're going, okay?" Jaejoong said, turning to face Yunho as he placed his hand on the door knob.

"I'll be here, Boo Jaejoong..." Yunho smiled, waving. Jaejoong giggled, loving how Yunho used his nickname. Then, he opened the door and stepped out of the dorm room, closing the door quietly behind him.

"Yeah, mom said she wanted to come by and see the shoot today..." Jaejoong explained to his three other band members, five camera men, a hairstylist, a makeup artist, and a choreographer. "But her sister called from Hong Kong, she said she wanted her to come visit tomorrow, so she's getting packed today and she wanted me to help her. Yunho is coming because mom wanted to give him a birthday present or something...she forgot to give him last month. I guess she'll be gone for awhile so she wanted to give it to him now before she left..."

"Jaejoong, this isn't the actual shoot, you know. Just a dress rehearsal...the real shoot is this weekend," Junsu said, while flipping through a magazine.

"Go ahead if you want, but just make sure you remember the song. The dances you're supposed to be doing, too...this is an important video. If you won't be here for the rehearsal, you'll have to practice when you get back," Yoochun said, patting Jaejoong on the back.

"Thanks, I'll make sure to do that when I get back. This is the first song we all co-wrote together, so I know I need to memorize things...it's important. I promise not to be too long!" Jaejoong said, smiling. Chang Min just shook his head and laughed.

"You'd better not be too long, we'll have to give your part to a fan or something!"

"Yeah...maybe a female fan, you always did look more like the females, Jaejoong!" Junsu chimed in, laughing along with Chang Min.

"It's not my fault I'm beautiful," Jaejoong joked, throwing a towel at Junsu.

"Hurry up and go! The sooner you go, the sooner you get back to practice!" Yoochun said, already shooing Jaejoong away.

"Alright, we'll be back later," Jaejoong replied, then turned to leave the set. The hairdresser was already at work on Yoochun's hair, while the makeup artist was busy spreading foundation onto Chang Min's face. The choreographer was talking two the group of five camera men, trying to explain what scenes they should all be shooting, and Junsu went back to reading his magazine. The moment Jaejoong rounded a corner, out of everyone's view, he broke into a sprint back to the dorm room. Yunho was waiting for him, and he wanted to have fun today. If only he could have more chances like this to get away from it all, and spend more time with his Yunho.
