Author's Note: I've decided to do this to make up for the lack of fics these days, hopefully your favorite pairings are among these. ^_^ These pairings are chosen randomly from a generator, so don't complain.

Pairing: Changmin/Junsu
Song: "Nine" - JYJ
-x-
Changmin takes a seat by the window of the coffee shop and waits. He didn't like being stared at, especially by the employees and customers there. So, he silently wished that the person who persuaded him to meet at this public location, would hurry up and appear.
Changmin took a sip of his Americano and spotted a sports car coming into the parking lot and almost breathes a sigh of relief when the man he had been waiting for, steps out of the car. Changmin sits up straighter, watching the man outside straightening his suit and slipping a hand into his pocket before entering the little, cozy shop.
"Hyung. Over here," Changmin called out when the man walked in. He heard the squeals and whispered words of the two girls in the next table over.
"It's JYJ's Xia Junsu ..."
Changmin ducked his head down to hide his smirk just as the man, whose name was on those two customer's lips, pulled out the chair opposite him.
"Did you wait long?"
"Too long, hyung," Changmin answered with a playful glare. The laugh that followed his sarcasm, almost brought him to tears.
It's been way too long, hyung ...
-x-
Pairing: Changmin/Jaejoong
Song: "All In Vain" - DBSK
-x-
"Fall back! Fall back!" Changmin heard his superior shout. He let out one more shot at the enemy before backing away. He ran out of the building and piled back into the black van before their driver pulled out of the area.
"What happened? Why did we pull back? Didn't we almost get him?" Changmin questioned his superior. The man shook his head,
"I heard from dispatch that our target sent us out on a wild goose chase. He wasn't in that building at all. Group 3 in Downtown Seoul spotted him and his men lurking around the clubs there causing trouble."
"We spent months on that trail, tracking him to Busan and dispatch only found out that he's not here?! What were they doing?!" Changmin shouted.
"Jaejoong-sshi just found out about it when Group 3 reported in. It's not his fault," the man said.
"The hell it's not! Get him on the phone!" Changmin hissed.
"It's not going to do you any good ..." the man took out his phone and Changmin snatched it away. He dialed dispatch headquarters and Jaejoong's smooth voice answered the phone. He gnashed his teeth together. Just the sound of the man's voice made him see red.
"Kim Jaejoong!"
"Oh ... It's Changmin-ah ... What? Were you disappointed?" Changmin could hear the smirk. He knew it. Jaejoong had withheld the information from them after all.
"To be honest, I'm disappointed as well, Changmin-ah. I thought you wouldn't make it out of there in time. Just a few more minutes and you would've died. But you're alive, seeing as how you're talking to me."
"If you wanted me dead, then do it with your own two hands! Everyone at headquarters already know that you're angry at me because I got promoted and you didn't. You've been trying to get rid of me for a year now and each time you've failed. You must've been desperate, considering you've included our boss in it as well," Changmin took a glance at his superior who looked at him in confusion.
"As long as you die, I don't care who gets involved," Jaejoong answered back. Changmin stared out of the window and narrowed his eyes,
"The fight is between you and I, hyung. Everyone else is innocent."
"Doesn't that make things more interesting? This way, you'll actually try your hardest to kill me," Jaejoong said.
Changmin clenched his hand into a fist, "Hyung."
"Did I make little Changmin angry? Good. Use that anger to kill me. I'll be waiting."
Changmin quieted when the call was disconnected. His superior looked at him questioningly,
"Die? What are you talking about?"
"It doesn't matter," Changmin shook his head, trying to dispel his anger from his mind, and smiled at the other man,
"As long as we're both okay, it doesn't matter."

Changmin watched through the crack of the rehearsal room where his hoobaes were laughing and practicing in harmony.
As one ...
He turned away to lean back against the wall, closing his eyes and letting their laughter float out into the hall. A small smile graced his lips, remembering his own times when he was just like them, having his members around him, laughing and performing as one.
His vision blurred with unshed tears. He couldn't believe that just last week he was surrounded by his four hyungs that he grew up knowing. Now, having only one out of four by his side, just wasn't the same.
"Yah, Changmin ... Do it right."
Changmin bit his lip as the memory of his favorite hyung popped into his head.
"Boku wa tamago no kimi mo suki desu kedo ... kimi mo suki!"
Changmin let out a small laugh and wiped away the tears that streamed down his cheeks. He always thought that Junsu's oyaji gags were embarrassing, but funny. Although, he would never let the other man know that.
"Eu Kyang Kyang!"
The mixture of his hyung's laugh with the laughter from the room behind him, made the trip down memory lane even more painful as he slid down to hug his knees against his chest and cried harder into his arms.
I miss you so much ...

Pairing: Changmin/Junsu (Sequel to the first drabble)
Song: "Be As One (Female Ver.)" W-inds

"Here," Junsu held out an ice cream cone towards the younger man. Changmin grabbed the ice cream cone and proceeded to bite into the hard chocolate shell,
"We should've came out here in the first place. Who knows what kind of rumors those girls are going to spread?"
"That we're coming back as five?" Junsu shrugged, sitting down on the grassy bank next to the other man. Changmin stopped to stare at his hyung.
"Are you joking? Why ... Why would we do that?"
Junsu chuckled balefully in response, "Right ... why would you even agree? We have never seen you cry while singing our old songs ... I guess that was a clear indication that you've already moved on."
Changmin chewed on his lips and stared at the Han river where the moonlight reflected back against the water's surface. He didn't know what to say to his hyung's response in fear of being misunderstood, so he ate his ice cream quietly and stared at the water with his hyung.
-x-
Pairing: Changmin/Junsu (Sequel to the prompt above)
Song: "If You Get There Before I Do" - Collin Raye
-x-
The talk that he had with Junsu a few months ago, still weighed heavily on his mind. He wondered why he didn't cry when singing their old ballad songs and he finally realized it one day when he sang one of their old songs with Yunho in front of BigEast. It wasn't that he had moved on, forgetting the past where there was five instead of two. He didn't shed any tears because he knew. He knew that someday that they'll come together as one. They were only singing in response to them singing their old songs. It was to show their fans that no matter what, their old songs were meant to be sung by the five of them. He wanted to keep their places empty, so that when they were ready, that they could come back. Should he cry because of that?
"The place beside us are always empty for your return, hyung. Always."
-x-
Pairing: Changmin/Yoochun
Song: "If You Love Me" - NS Yoon G feat. Jay Park
-x-
He wanted to scream at the sky. The rain that fell from the clouds and into his eyes reminded him of that cliché scene in the movies where a couple breaks up and the rain begins to pour over them. He always dismissed the scene, saying that there was no relation between a break up and a rain scene. But now, after experiencing his own break up, he realized the beauty of rain.
"If you had loved me, Changmin-ah ... I wouldn't be feeling so horrible right now and God wouldn't have to waste his time in creating rain to cover my tears."
-x-
Pairing: Yunho/Yoochun
Song: "Ave Maria" - Joe Hisaishi
-x-
Yunho first saw Yoochun when the other man was tending to his clients. He didn't understand why people nicknamed him "The fox". But standing in front of the younger man, he finally realized why. The mixture of brown and dirty blond hair, the way it was done up in a pony tail, and accompanied by a mischievous smile on the man's perfectly slim face.
"Yunho-sshi ... your mouth is open. Don't tell me the fox has sunken his claws into you too?" Yunho heard his friend say to him. He blinked a few times to snap himself out of the trance and immediately denied his friend's false observations, all the while trying to hold back a blush.
"You know I do like fresh meat, Sanghyuk-sshi ..." the fox purred. Yunho almost had to restrain himself from cumming at the sound that came from the younger man's throat.
"Indeed you do," Sanghyuk agreed with a laugh and placed a hand on Yunho's back,
"Shall we head on inside?"
"Yes," the fox agreed, "Come inside where it's warmer."
Yunho squeezed his thighs together at the words and prayed that he would make it through the night without embarrassing himself.
-x-
Pairing: Jaejoong/Yoochun
Song: "Dearest (Strings Ver.)" - Ayumi Hamasaki
-x-
He warned the other man. He told him beforehand that he couldn't swim and that if one of them had drowned, there was no way they could have asked for help when they couldn't speak the language.
"Jae! Help! Jae! Hyung!"
Jaejoong sobbed, holding for dear life on one of the warf's wooden pillars as the waves crashed painfully against him, trying to sweep him away just like it did with one of his members. The person he was crying for, was scrambling to stay afloat a few yards away, screaming for him to save him. But what could he do? He couldn't gather enough strength in his arms to pull himself out of the raging water and because of the harsh storm, his whole body was cold and numb.
"Yoochun ... I don't know what to do ..." Jaejoong cried, shivering against the cold rain. He reached out his hand, hoping that the waves would help push the other man closer to where he was so that he could grab onto him. But with one hand gripping the pillar and one hand out, it wasn't enough to hold himself steady. When a large wave crashed against him, he felt himself being pulled back out into the ocean. He quickly hugged himself to the pillar, crying and apologizing when he could no longer hear his soul mate calling for him.
-x-
Pairing: Yunho/Yoochun
Song: "Tears Are Falling" - Shin Jae
-x-
"Come with us."
Yunho knew that it was the right thing to do by not taking that outstretched hand. He knew that it was the right thing, still he shut his manager out and holed himself in his room. Changmin had done the same a few days earlier, the reality of the split finally settling in. He curled within himself in the corner, the slight cold breeze from the open window sent a shiver down his spine. The tears warmed up his chilled face as he tried to come to terms with the fact that since last week, they were now promoting as a duo instead of a five-member group.
"I'm not regretting," Yunho whispered and rocked back and forth on his feet. He heard his manager on the phone earlier that morning in the living room, speaking to someone on the phone, saying that the fans were angry at the way the company dealt with the lawsuit, and how the leader of the group couldn't even keep his group together and only watched it fall apart at the sidelines.
Yunho shook his head and clenched his eyes, "That's not true ... I-I tried ... I tried to keep us together ..."
"Let's sue the company together. We can start a new group elsewhere."
Yunho remembered Yoochun's words. He did at first wanted to leave with the three of them, but leaving behind the name that made them famous ... He didn't want to abandon all of the hard work that they've done for the past six years. It was because of the name, Dong Bang Shin Ki, that he stayed. It wasn't for anything else.
"I'm sorry," Yunho sobbed, "I'm sorry."
-x-
Pairing: Yoochun/Jaejoong
Song: "Like A Fool" - Nylon Beat
-x-
There was a saying that opposites attract, but Jaejoong begged to differ. The first time he met his soul mate was when he was summoned to a room for a photo-shoot. When he got there, he expected to see his three other members. Instead, he found Yunho and Junsu there, and also two new people that he had never met before. He heard that someone from America was going to be in the group with him and after scanning between the two new members, he couldn't tell which one it was and worried over the fact he wouldn't be able to effectively communicate with the boy. But after their first greeting and finding out that they had similar interests and style, Jaejoong knew that Park Yoochun was one of a kind.

Pairing: Junsu/Changmin
Song: "Allegretto" - Bond

They twirled once. Twice. Three times before Changmin had to stomp on his partner's feet to stop the man from twirling them incessantly.
"Stop it, Junsu-hyung," Changmin hissed at his partner. But the other man only grinned,
"Why?"
"We're getting off-beat from the other pairs," Changmin whispered and Junsu finally looked around and found that the younger man was right.
"Oops. I guess I was too excited."
"Hyung, please focus this time," Changmin said, taking a step back, causing Junsu to follow his move and take a step toward him.
"Okay, okay. I did promise your mother that I wasn't going to ruin your first appearance in the school's musical play, so I'll stop," Junsu whispered with a smile. Changmin could only stifle an embarrassed groan when the main female lead began her final song for the evening.

Pairing: Changmin/Junsu
Song: "Avalanche" - Marie Digby
-x-
He didn't know when they had started to go downhill. Was it the day when they both had separate opinions? Was it the day when they finalized their standing ground?
At every chance he got, he would pick up his phone and look through his contacts, his thumb hovering over the call button. It should've taken him a second to make his choice, but a few seconds later, he still hadn't made that call.
"Junsu? What are you doing?"
Junsu looked up to the doorway of his dressing room to see Jaejoong there. He quickly pocketed his phone and stood up, a grimace on his face,
"Nothing. I was just re-doing my hair."
Jaejoong nodded with a pout, "Well, I came to get you because our break is over. We're continuing with our music video."
"Right," Junsu replied with a deep breath and stood up to follow the older man out.
Changmin-ah ... One day, I'll have the courage to call you and not feel guilty about everything that happened between us.
-x-
Pairing: Changmin/Jaejoong
Song: "California King Bed" - Rihanna
-x-
He told himself to snap out of it and fight against the memories that tried to pull him back to what used to be. But he couldn't do it. The memories of that day, the scent that he had wrapped himself in, he wanted to keep it forever.
So when he walked into his room, he was immediately hit with an unfamiliar smell. His eyes flickered over to his bed where the sheets were neatly made and the clothes that were strewn on the floor had been picked up and placed in the laundry basket in the corner.
"No ... No ..." Jaejoong mumbled in panic and turned around, stalking back down the hall to the living room where two people were playing a video game.
"What did you do to my room?" Jaejoong wanted to shout, but kept his voice leveled, and breathed harshly through his nose. The two people in particular kept on playing, shouting at each other at how unfair the other was being. Jaejoong clenched his hands into fists. How could he get his room back to the way it was? How could he bring back the scent of his past?
He stomped around the couch and stood in front of the TV where the two people playing, finally stopped to acknowledge him.
"Hyung, move. I can't see," Yoochun huffed, maneuvering his view around the other man. Jaejoong stared at the other man in the room who seemed to be concentrating just fine with the lack of view.
"Junsu," Jaejoong clipped. Junsu finally looked up at the tone, his eyes innocent.
"Yes, hyung?"
"What did you do to my room?" Jaejoong asked again. Yoochun sighed,
"You're only asking about that? That's why you're angry and trying to interrupt our game?"
"It might not mean anything to you, but it does to me. Junsu knows why I don't let anyone in there," Jaejoong glared at Junsu who slowly understood why he was angry. Junsu frowned,
"Hyung. I thought you finally got over it."
"I --" Jaejoong hesitated.
Junsu paused the game and let out a sigh,
"It's over. It's time to forget them as they have done to us. He ... He's moved on, hyung."
"That's not true and you know it! Now where did you keep the cologne?" Jaejoong hissed. Junsu glared evenly with him,
"I threw it away."
Jaejoong punched the younger man. Yoochun who had been watching the argument on the sidelines, widened his eyes in shock at the random show of violence.
"Jae, what the hell?!"
"Give it back! That's all I have left of him!" Jaejoong screamed, grabbing a fistful of the man's shirt this time.
"Then it's a good thing I threw it away. I didn't want to have to come back and find more things to throw away that belonged to him," Junsu sneered with disgust.
"You don't understand," Jaejoong tried to hold back the tears, his grip slackening. Junsu easily removed the grip on his shirt and stared hard,
"I understand perfectly, hyung. You can't keep hanging onto your past. It's ruining your present and possibly your future. Move on. You have to."
"Please. Please, I need that bottle. If-If we don't get back together, then I want something to remember him by. Please," Jaejoong begged. Yoochun stared back and forth between his two members. He didn't understand the situation before, but now he did. He felt pity for Jaejoong, but he could understand why Junsu was getting fed up with the older man.
"I told you, I threw it away," Junsu said with a turn of his head. Yoochun watched Jaejoong bite his lip before running out of the apartment. He then turned to Junsu,
"Did you really throw it away?"
But Junsu didn't answer.
-x-
Jaejoong ran down to the parking lot where the trash was collected and began looking through each bag, desperately praying that he would find it before the garbage truck came to pick up the trash.
"I have to find it. I have to find Changmin's cologne bottle ..."
-x-
Pairing: Yunho/Junsu
Song: "Be Mine" - Jennifer Lopez
-x-
His steps were heavy when he arrived at SM Entertainment. He had been practicing all last night and didn't get back home until two in the morning. Now, with only five hours of sleep, his body felt lethargic. He tried to pump himself up by slapping himself on the cheeks and drinking the watered-down coffee from the vending machine, but he still felt horrible.
He trudged through the halls, hoping that Dana wasn't there yet so he could get some shut eye. But as he got further down the hall, he heard music playing. He walked closer to the open door where the music was coming from and peeked in through the crack. What he saw, was unlike anything he had seen. His specialty had been dancing when he auditioned for the company, and all the trainees he knew had decent dancing skills, but this boy ... he was perfect. He stared entranced at how fluid the boy's dance moves were.
"If only I could dance like that ..." Yunho muttered under his breath. A hand suddenly clasp his shoulder and he gave a jolt, cursing at the person who interrupted him. But when he turned around, he found that it was Dana.
"Oh ... you're here?" Yunho whispered, quickly looking back into the room to see if he had interrupted the boy, but the boy continued to dance. Dana looked over his shoulder into the room and her lips lifted into a smirk at who she saw,
"Are you interested?"
"Huh? No ... Let's go," Yunho shuffled back and resumed walking to their designated rehearsal room. Dana fell into step with him and slung an arm around his shoulder, leaning in close,
"I could tell you his name."
"R-Really?" Yunho jerked his head to the side to see if the older girl was joking with him.
"His name is Kim Junsu. He's younger than you by ten months, but has been here for two years now," Dana said.
"Two years?! That's ..." Yunho quieted and thought back to how good the boy's dancing was. He turned to the other girl,
"Will I be able to dance like him a year from now as well?"
Dana smiled and entered their rehearsal room, "Only if you work hard."
With new vigor, Yunho suddenly felt his body becoming more awake, "I'll definitely work hard to become a good dancer like him."
-x-
Pairing: Yunho/Junsu
Song: "The Christmas Shoes" - Newsong
-x-
"Wow, it's really cold," Junsu shivered when he exited the company building with Yunho. Yunho nodded, wrapping his jacket tighter around him,
"It is. Well, we have a two day break starting tomorrow ... Are you going to spend time with your girlfriend?"
"I want to ... but I can't. I've decided to use that time to practice more," Junsu answered, stepping onto a busy street where the Christmas lights decorated the stores and lined the trees. Yunho frowned at the answer,
"Why? Shouldn't you take this chance to spend time with her? Who knows when we'll have our next break."
Junsu shrugged, " I feel bad for her, but at the same time, I have to think of myself first. What do I want? I want to debut and in order to do that, I have to train even harder."
"True ..."
"What about you? Are you spending time with your girlfriend tomorrow?"
"I'm going to practice as well," Yunho answered. Junsu slapped the older boy on the arm,
"What? Then you had no right to complain about me not spending time with my girlfriend when you're not going either."
Yunho smiled sheepishly, "I know ... but it's like you said, I want to debut as well. I've worked so hard these past three years, so I want to see it all pay off."
Junsu nodded in understanding and stared with envy at the many couples roaming around on Christmas Eve.
"They're so lucky ... Without a care in the world, they get to spend Christmas together while we have to work our butts off to obtain our dreams," Junsu mused.
"But we can't complain since we chose this path," Yunho nudged the other boy. Junsu chuckled and nudged him back,
"Always the realist."
"Hey!" Yunho frowned, but Junsu laughed. They both spent the rest of the evening walking down the brightly lit roads, effectively blending in with all the lovey-dovey couples.

He wanted to scream at the sky. The rain that fell from the clouds and into his eyes reminded him of that cliché scene in the movies where a couple breaks up and the rain begins to pour over them. He always dismissed the scene, saying that there was no relation between a break up and a rain scene. But now, after experiencing his own break up, he realized the beauty of rain.
"If you had loved me, Changmin-ah ... I wouldn't be feeling so horrible right now and God wouldn't have to waste his time in creating rain to cover my tears."

Yunho first saw Yoochun when the other man was tending to his clients. He didn't understand why people nicknamed him "The fox". But standing in front of the younger man, he finally realized why. The mixture of brown and dirty blond hair, the way it was done up in a pony tail, and accompanied by a mischievous smile on the man's perfectly slim face.
"Yunho-sshi ... your mouth is open. Don't tell me the fox has sunken his claws into you too?" Yunho heard his friend say to him. He blinked a few times to snap himself out of the trance and immediately denied his friend's false observations, all the while trying to hold back a blush.
"You know I do like fresh meat, Sanghyuk-sshi ..." the fox purred. Yunho almost had to restrain himself from cumming at the sound that came from the younger man's throat.
"Indeed you do," Sanghyuk agreed with a laugh and placed a hand on Yunho's back,
"Shall we head on inside?"
"Yes," the fox agreed, "Come inside where it's warmer."
Yunho squeezed his thighs together at the words and prayed that he would make it through the night without embarrassing himself.

He warned the other man. He told him beforehand that he couldn't swim and that if one of them had drowned, there was no way they could have asked for help when they couldn't speak the language.
"Jae! Help! Jae! Hyung!"
Jaejoong sobbed, holding for dear life on one of the warf's wooden pillars as the waves crashed painfully against him, trying to sweep him away just like it did with one of his members. The person he was crying for, was scrambling to stay afloat a few yards away, screaming for him to save him. But what could he do? He couldn't gather enough strength in his arms to pull himself out of the raging water and because of the harsh storm, his whole body was cold and numb.
"Yoochun ... I don't know what to do ..." Jaejoong cried, shivering against the cold rain. He reached out his hand, hoping that the waves would help push the other man closer to where he was so that he could grab onto him. But with one hand gripping the pillar and one hand out, it wasn't enough to hold himself steady. When a large wave crashed against him, he felt himself being pulled back out into the ocean. He quickly hugged himself to the pillar, crying and apologizing when he could no longer hear his soul mate calling for him.

"Come with us."
Yunho knew that it was the right thing to do by not taking that outstretched hand. He knew that it was the right thing, still he shut his manager out and holed himself in his room. Changmin had done the same a few days earlier, the reality of the split finally settling in. He curled within himself in the corner, the slight cold breeze from the open window sent a shiver down his spine. The tears warmed up his chilled face as he tried to come to terms with the fact that since last week, they were now promoting as a duo instead of a five-member group.
"I'm not regretting," Yunho whispered and rocked back and forth on his feet. He heard his manager on the phone earlier that morning in the living room, speaking to someone on the phone, saying that the fans were angry at the way the company dealt with the lawsuit, and how the leader of the group couldn't even keep his group together and only watched it fall apart at the sidelines.
Yunho shook his head and clenched his eyes, "That's not true ... I-I tried ... I tried to keep us together ..."
"Let's sue the company together. We can start a new group elsewhere."
Yunho remembered Yoochun's words. He did at first wanted to leave with the three of them, but leaving behind the name that made them famous ... He didn't want to abandon all of the hard work that they've done for the past six years. It was because of the name, Dong Bang Shin Ki, that he stayed. It wasn't for anything else.
"I'm sorry," Yunho sobbed, "I'm sorry."

There was a saying that opposites attract, but Jaejoong begged to differ. The first time he met his soul mate was when he was summoned to a room for a photo-shoot. When he got there, he expected to see his three other members. Instead, he found Yunho and Junsu there, and also two new people that he had never met before. He heard that someone from America was going to be in the group with him and after scanning between the two new members, he couldn't tell which one it was and worried over the fact he wouldn't be able to effectively communicate with the boy. But after their first greeting and finding out that they had similar interests and style, Jaejoong knew that Park Yoochun was one of a kind.

They twirled once. Twice. Three times before Changmin had to stomp on his partner's feet to stop the man from twirling them incessantly.
"Stop it, Junsu-hyung," Changmin hissed at his partner. But the other man only grinned,
"Why?"
"We're getting off-beat from the other pairs," Changmin whispered and Junsu finally looked around and found that the younger man was right.
"Oops. I guess I was too excited."
"Hyung, please focus this time," Changmin said, taking a step back, causing Junsu to follow his move and take a step toward him.
"Okay, okay. I did promise your mother that I wasn't going to ruin your first appearance in the school's musical play, so I'll stop," Junsu whispered with a smile. Changmin could only stifle an embarrassed groan when the main female lead began her final song for the evening.

He didn't know when they had started to go downhill. Was it the day when they both had separate opinions? Was it the day when they finalized their standing ground?
At every chance he got, he would pick up his phone and look through his contacts, his thumb hovering over the call button. It should've taken him a second to make his choice, but a few seconds later, he still hadn't made that call.
"Junsu? What are you doing?"
Junsu looked up to the doorway of his dressing room to see Jaejoong there. He quickly pocketed his phone and stood up, a grimace on his face,
"Nothing. I was just re-doing my hair."
Jaejoong nodded with a pout, "Well, I came to get you because our break is over. We're continuing with our music video."
"Right," Junsu replied with a deep breath and stood up to follow the older man out.
Changmin-ah ... One day, I'll have the courage to call you and not feel guilty about everything that happened between us.

He told himself to snap out of it and fight against the memories that tried to pull him back to what used to be. But he couldn't do it. The memories of that day, the scent that he had wrapped himself in, he wanted to keep it forever.
So when he walked into his room, he was immediately hit with an unfamiliar smell. His eyes flickered over to his bed where the sheets were neatly made and the clothes that were strewn on the floor had been picked up and placed in the laundry basket in the corner.
"No ... No ..." Jaejoong mumbled in panic and turned around, stalking back down the hall to the living room where two people were playing a video game.
"What did you do to my room?" Jaejoong wanted to shout, but kept his voice leveled, and breathed harshly through his nose. The two people in particular kept on playing, shouting at each other at how unfair the other was being. Jaejoong clenched his hands into fists. How could he get his room back to the way it was? How could he bring back the scent of his past?
He stomped around the couch and stood in front of the TV where the two people playing, finally stopped to acknowledge him.
"Hyung, move. I can't see," Yoochun huffed, maneuvering his view around the other man. Jaejoong stared at the other man in the room who seemed to be concentrating just fine with the lack of view.
"Junsu," Jaejoong clipped. Junsu finally looked up at the tone, his eyes innocent.
"Yes, hyung?"
"What did you do to my room?" Jaejoong asked again. Yoochun sighed,
"You're only asking about that? That's why you're angry and trying to interrupt our game?"
"It might not mean anything to you, but it does to me. Junsu knows why I don't let anyone in there," Jaejoong glared at Junsu who slowly understood why he was angry. Junsu frowned,
"Hyung. I thought you finally got over it."
"I --" Jaejoong hesitated.
Junsu paused the game and let out a sigh,
"It's over. It's time to forget them as they have done to us. He ... He's moved on, hyung."
"That's not true and you know it! Now where did you keep the cologne?" Jaejoong hissed. Junsu glared evenly with him,
"I threw it away."
Jaejoong punched the younger man. Yoochun who had been watching the argument on the sidelines, widened his eyes in shock at the random show of violence.
"Jae, what the hell?!"
"Give it back! That's all I have left of him!" Jaejoong screamed, grabbing a fistful of the man's shirt this time.
"Then it's a good thing I threw it away. I didn't want to have to come back and find more things to throw away that belonged to him," Junsu sneered with disgust.
"You don't understand," Jaejoong tried to hold back the tears, his grip slackening. Junsu easily removed the grip on his shirt and stared hard,
"I understand perfectly, hyung. You can't keep hanging onto your past. It's ruining your present and possibly your future. Move on. You have to."
"Please. Please, I need that bottle. If-If we don't get back together, then I want something to remember him by. Please," Jaejoong begged. Yoochun stared back and forth between his two members. He didn't understand the situation before, but now he did. He felt pity for Jaejoong, but he could understand why Junsu was getting fed up with the older man.
"I told you, I threw it away," Junsu said with a turn of his head. Yoochun watched Jaejoong bite his lip before running out of the apartment. He then turned to Junsu,
"Did you really throw it away?"
But Junsu didn't answer.

Jaejoong ran down to the parking lot where the trash was collected and began looking through each bag, desperately praying that he would find it before the garbage truck came to pick up the trash.
"I have to find it. I have to find Changmin's cologne bottle ..."

His steps were heavy when he arrived at SM Entertainment. He had been practicing all last night and didn't get back home until two in the morning. Now, with only five hours of sleep, his body felt lethargic. He tried to pump himself up by slapping himself on the cheeks and drinking the watered-down coffee from the vending machine, but he still felt horrible.
He trudged through the halls, hoping that Dana wasn't there yet so he could get some shut eye. But as he got further down the hall, he heard music playing. He walked closer to the open door where the music was coming from and peeked in through the crack. What he saw, was unlike anything he had seen. His specialty had been dancing when he auditioned for the company, and all the trainees he knew had decent dancing skills, but this boy ... he was perfect. He stared entranced at how fluid the boy's dance moves were.
"If only I could dance like that ..." Yunho muttered under his breath. A hand suddenly clasp his shoulder and he gave a jolt, cursing at the person who interrupted him. But when he turned around, he found that it was Dana.
"Oh ... you're here?" Yunho whispered, quickly looking back into the room to see if he had interrupted the boy, but the boy continued to dance. Dana looked over his shoulder into the room and her lips lifted into a smirk at who she saw,
"Are you interested?"
"Huh? No ... Let's go," Yunho shuffled back and resumed walking to their designated rehearsal room. Dana fell into step with him and slung an arm around his shoulder, leaning in close,
"I could tell you his name."
"R-Really?" Yunho jerked his head to the side to see if the older girl was joking with him.
"His name is Kim Junsu. He's younger than you by ten months, but has been here for two years now," Dana said.
"Two years?! That's ..." Yunho quieted and thought back to how good the boy's dancing was. He turned to the other girl,
"Will I be able to dance like him a year from now as well?"
Dana smiled and entered their rehearsal room, "Only if you work hard."
With new vigor, Yunho suddenly felt his body becoming more awake, "I'll definitely work hard to become a good dancer like him."

"Wow, it's really cold," Junsu shivered when he exited the company building with Yunho. Yunho nodded, wrapping his jacket tighter around him,
"It is. Well, we have a two day break starting tomorrow ... Are you going to spend time with your girlfriend?"
"I want to ... but I can't. I've decided to use that time to practice more," Junsu answered, stepping onto a busy street where the Christmas lights decorated the stores and lined the trees. Yunho frowned at the answer,
"Why? Shouldn't you take this chance to spend time with her? Who knows when we'll have our next break."
Junsu shrugged, " I feel bad for her, but at the same time, I have to think of myself first. What do I want? I want to debut and in order to do that, I have to train even harder."
"True ..."
"What about you? Are you spending time with your girlfriend tomorrow?"
"I'm going to practice as well," Yunho answered. Junsu slapped the older boy on the arm,
"What? Then you had no right to complain about me not spending time with my girlfriend when you're not going either."
Yunho smiled sheepishly, "I know ... but it's like you said, I want to debut as well. I've worked so hard these past three years, so I want to see it all pay off."
Junsu nodded in understanding and stared with envy at the many couples roaming around on Christmas Eve.
"They're so lucky ... Without a care in the world, they get to spend Christmas together while we have to work our butts off to obtain our dreams," Junsu mused.
"But we can't complain since we chose this path," Yunho nudged the other boy. Junsu chuckled and nudged him back,
"Always the realist."
"Hey!" Yunho frowned, but Junsu laughed. They both spent the rest of the evening walking down the brightly lit roads, effectively blending in with all the lovey-dovey couples.
