A call in the middle of the night

Who Said It Was Gonna Be Easy?

A phone rings in the middle of the night. Uruha tiredly reaches out for it unable to locate it at first which forces him to sit up and turn on the lights. He looks at the time and curses as he picks up the phone “What?” He mumbles rubbing his tired eyes as he drops back down on the bed.

“…Uruha”

Uruha’s eyes shoot wide open “DooJoon? DooJoon is that you? Where are you? Are you okay? No one has heard from you since you walked out 5 days ago” he can’t help but notice how drained DooJoon is sounding

“I’m fine. I’m staying with a friend” DooJoon’s voice doesn’t really sound like him

“It’s been 5 days DooJoon…”

“And I’m still in love with you” DooJoon softly says. Uruha feels his chest tightening and his breath gets caught in his throat. He chews on his bottom lip and smiles a little against his will “Yea?”

“Off course” a little happiness in his voice makes the next silent moment seem less awkward.

Uruha keeps chewing on his lip. The last days he hasn’t really been alone. Ruki hasn’t left his side and Aoi and Seungho has been by every day and they just had fun like they used to back in Japan when SuSu was just a small club. No matter what went on in their lives they always had each other but the last year Seungho has been so busy and Aoi has been at his side to help his friend out the best he can.

Seungho really seemed to have missed the time with his friends and he refused to let Uruha leave his side and ordered the youngest in the group, Ruki, to fetch whatever needed to be fetched with an arm around Uruha’s shoulder like the boss he is. Aoi just sat there laughing at Ruki who loudly complained about Seungho who just asked him who the boss is to make him shut up. Ruki retorted by throwing food at him and laugh.

Uruha almost forgot that his love interest through a year had confessed and then left and kept quiet for almost a week. That is until he found himself alone and just missed someone to hold his hand.

He sighs and frowns “DooJoon…”

“Uruha just tell me what you have been up to” DooJoon softly says “I just need to hear your voice and remind myself why I’m doing this”

“What are you doing?” Uruha frowns

“I’m correcting my wrongs... the best I can at least. You have no idea how many times I have gotten slapped the last days” DooJoon chuckles dryly and a little bitterness reaches Uruha’s ear. He turns his head and looks to the side “DooJoon I don’t understand why are you… getting slapped?”

“Because it turns out slapping me makes the girls I dumped feel better” DooJoon mumbles

The ironic tone in DooJoon’s voice makes Uruha chuckle a little

“Are you laughing at me?” DooJoon raises his voice but he doesn’t sound angry. He sounds a bit more uplifted actually

“I just got the mental picture of you getting slapped” Uruha smiles a little

“Huh you think that is funny? Well look at that” A hint of the cockiness Uruha always found rather attractive in DooJoon plays in his voice and Uruha takes a deep breath and turns on his side looking at the time. He frowns when he sees that it is 3:32 am “DooJoon why are you calling at this hour?”

“I couldn’t sleep and I was feeling down. You have no idea how many times I have wanted to call you but I when I dialed I just couldn’t because I didn’t know what to say”

“It doesn’t sound like a problem now” Uruha smirks

“No it isn’t” DooJoon sighs happily but then his voice get a slightly different tone “Uruha I heard a lot about how you have been helping the girls out… They are sorry for burdening you. I actually got a few slaps just because I hadn’t made a move on you sooner. Can you believe that? They were actually mad at me for NOT being gay…! Past tense!” DooJoon quickly adds the last part not wanting any misunderstandings about where his heart lies now “Some told me they would forgive me if I did right by you. Why do you have to be so damn loveable? Everyone loves you!”

Uruha smiles shyly “I’m not doing it on purpose”

“No you are just so fantastic and that is admirable… puts a hell of a lot of pressure on me though” DooJoon sighs

Uruha messes with his hair and smiles “DooJoon are you coming to work tomorrow?”

“I am. I almost decided not to”

“Why?”

“I’m a bit unsure of how I’m gonna be acting around you but then I thought of all those people staring at you when you are on stage and no way in hell I’m gonna let anyone steal you away”

“I’m not yours DooJoon” Uruha says hoping the grin on his face can’t be read in his voice

“Yet Uruha… You are not mine yet”

“You sound very confident” Uruha keeps smiling

“Well… no one else believes in me so I have to right?”

Uruha’s smile fades a little and he doesn’t really know what to say. DooJoon quickly catches on to Uruha’s silence “You don’t have to comment on that. I’ll let you sleep now. Sleep tight Uruha and… I’ll miss you”

Like that DooJoon hangs up and Uruha lies with the phone to his ear smiling slightly before he puts the phone away. He turns on his other side and pulls the pillow next to him close and drifts off with a smile on his face.

Chapter 32: Oh my! I'm sooo loving this story! Please keep it up ♥

Chapter 28: This is very interesting...I remember a part about Uruha having relationship problems, himself, although of a different nature than Doojoon's.
What is it that Doojoon will have to find out?
hehe~ you seem to be deliberately putting Doojoon back into his arrogant, protective character ^^ I like how they are mutually submissive ^^ It suggests the equality that ought to be in a real relationship :)
That's one thing I particularly like about this story- the characters' reactions and the way in which Doojoon and Uruha are progressing with their relationship.
I'm very interested by this "secret detail" that seems to be undisclosed to Doojoon, though. Hopefully it won't have a negative impact on his and Uruha's new relationship...

Chapter 27: And I forgot to mention- your writing has improved a lot since the beginning of the story ^^

Chapter 27: I certainly have enjoyed this chapter just as much as the last^^
I hadn't ever really thought of it, but now that it seems as though Doojoon is being portrayed as the delicate one in the relationship, or, as a commonplace term, the "submissive", I can say that I find this newfound fragility in Doojoon to be quite tasteful. It's really quite a nice inversion; a stray away from the conventionality of what might be expected from any pairing involving Doojoon and I really like it ^^ Somehow, it certainly seems much more realistic that someone as unsure of himself, as frightened and as estranged from love as Doojoon is, would need someone to take care of him both physically and emotionally. And it just seems appropriate that that someone is Uruha, no matter how pretty or "girly" Uruha's appearance might make him out to be.
It seems like a theme in this story- not judging someone by their appearances or reputation ^^ Like how "player" and "manly" Doojoon certainly has a full range of emotions, as does anyone else, and is by far much more hurt than anyone would ever have perceived. And how Uruha, who seems to be publicly more of a flamboyant type of person, attentive to his implied feminine appearance seems to be the one who can offer Doojoon a sense of safety and protection that he seems not to have ever had before.
Uruha kissing Doojoon's palm is such a tender moment in the story ^^ And, having read and written some mpreg, myself, Uruha wrapping his arms around Doojoon's stomach gave me a faint impression of Doojoon having a baby or something hehe~ ^^' (my mind out of wraps...) but a very loving gesture, indeed ^^

Chapter 26: Hehe~ second time reading this chapter today ^^
Doojoon is so cute when he was crying and wanting his Uruha ^^ poor Doojoon... He thought he messed up again...
I'm so happy about this chapter (⌒▽⌒)

Chapter 26: Yes, yes YES!!!!!!! :D
This chapter made my day, even though it's just starting ^^
I'm so glad it wasn't Doojoon's fault and that girl is just horrible DX.
Yay!!! Uruha asked Doojoon out again!! :D
They're already so cute together and poor Doojoon when he wanted 'his' Uruha ^^ he seems so fragile in this chapter and I liked that ^^

Chapter 25: Oh no...! :(
Doojoon...! What have you done...?!
I have a pretty bad feeling for how things are going to go for Doojoon now... Actually not so much in terms of a relationship, but I think Doojoon himself is going to suffer a lot with what happened...I feel like he's going to give up on himself, not just on a relationship with Uruha but give up on himself as a person...

Chapter 24: This is one of my favorite chapters ^^
I really like Doojoon's dad and how he so easily accepted that his son is in love with a man :)
The chapter was so full of warmth and love and this chapter, more than any other, really shows how Doojoon had changed. It's great to see that he really is love with Uruha and that he's reconciled with his father. It certainly seems necessary for him to love his family before entering into a relationship with Uruha.
It was actually quite striking to hear how Doojoon's father married a year ago and Doojoo wasn't even aware of it. It shows just how distant from those close to him he became.
Hopefully Yoonja's daughter won't give Doojoon a hard time... ^^'
It would be very interesting, indeed, to see Uruha meet Doojoon's parents ^^
and hopefully Doojoon will fnd some solace about his relationship with his mother. That rejection when he was only seven must have been terrible.

Chapter 23: :'(
What an emotional chapter!! It was great, but poor Doojoon! It seems like this was really the breaking point for him,but I'm actually glad that he got so many negative feelings out in the open. It seemed like a necessary thing to do and now people know exactly how he's feeling. I think it is time that he's given a little more care and support ^^ and I think that the fact that he went to apologize to Donghae shows that he is changing and him pushing Donghae out of the way is proof of the good person that Uruha sees in him :D
I really love the realism in this- how Uruha's not plunging into a relationship, but not giving up on Doojoon, either and how Doojoon's coming to face himself :)

Chapter 22: <3
Thank you for thinking of me ^^~ And my exams did go well ^^
That's okay! You take your time in updating- I always love reading this story and I will patiently await your updates :D

I was really glad that Uruha and Doojoon privately spoke with each other in this chapter and that Uruha noticed not only the effort that Doojoon has been applying in trying to change, but also how Doojoon's been struggling with a rather rude confrontation of his faults. I think that having bad feelings go unacknowledge by others is just as bad as dealing with those feelings alone and I was happy that Uruha stood up for Doojoon, despite how much trouble Doojoon's put him through. Doojoon certainly does deserve some notice for his genuine efforts to change.
I like how Uruha is just as protective of Doojoon as Doojoon seems to be over Uruha ^^~ And there was really quite a bit of wisdom in this chapter, about having to trust yourself first, before expecting others to trust you.
I think the seriousness with which Uruha told Doojoon that he liked him and shouldn't let people tell him that he's heartless had quite an impact on Doojoon. It seems to me that this may have been one of the first times, if not the only time, that someone has really seen Doojoon's vulnerability and said to still have feelings for him, regardless. It feels like this sort of reassurance and support is not at all something that Doojoon would have received, prior to speaking with Uruha, on account of his mother not being in his life anymore.
hehe~ in my opinion, there should be even more subscribers for this story! ^^ Although there are not many jrock stories on here and even less "cross-overs", I think that there is a significant audience for this and this is a really awesome story ^^
