Yunho busy playing with his i-pad when Changmin get into the van. Changmin put aside his back-pack and manager hyung helps him with his luggage. Today he is heading to Tokyo. He had a film premier to attend. Yunho will not participate with his schedule for 3 days as he himself will prepare for a musical.

Yunho : Changminnie, don’t forget to call me back once you reach Tokyo.

Changmin : Yes, hyung. You’ve already remind me for several times.

Yunho : I will pick you up on Monday morning, three days later right?

Changmin : No, manager hyung will…

Yunho : Then I will send you to the airport after our schedule today okay Minnie?

Changmin : No manager hyung will do that too, to many fans will be there… Stay home after the schedule and rehearse your part for your upcoming musicals. You still struggling with the guitar.

Yunho : *sulky face* Minnie being mean!... I am trying to be a good hyung here…

Changmin : Hyung, please don’t try to make any mini-brownies or colourful-cakes or all-flavour-pies. You will burn the kitchen. Don’t wash the whites and colored together IF you wash the clothes. Last time you do the laundry all my white socks turn into bright yellow. So I suggest you don’t…

Yunho : *pouty* Minnie being mommy again!...

Changmin : *continue nagging* Don’t try to touch my ice-cream in the refrigerator. My mom brought me those. Don’t try to have any party at home. No Donghae… and No Eunhyuk! Siwon hyung is allowed. Kyuhyun is allowed as long as he is either with Minho or Ryeowook. Put the towels at the place. The last thing I want is a damp towel on my bed. And your boxers are...

Yunho : jabba.. jabba.. jabba.. jabba.. *imitating Changmin’s blabbler*

Changmin : *sharp stare*

Yunho : Okay… Okay…

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Changmin reach the departure hall and he checks his phone. He still put it on silent since their recording in the morning.

After he finished up the successful event and get back into the vehicle with a lot of fan’s gift. After he manages to sit properly, Changmin checks his phone. To his shock and annoyance he tries to take a deep breathe seeing his phone’s screen

[53 Missed Calls, 11 Text Messages, 3 Multimedia Messages]

Changmin : 53? 53 Missed calls? Hyung, do you think this is fun?... This is not funny hyung… and what is all the picture messages of your selcas?..

Changmin : HYUNG!!!! *he let out his half-scream*

Yunho : I’m sorry Changdol-ah… I just…. want to hear your voice…

Changmin : Hyung!!… You are being a jerk….

Yunho : Changminnie… Hyung says sowwy okay bb?..

Changmin : Listen here Mr Jung, please do this after I hang up this call. Switch off your phone!

Yunho : But…

Changmin : No, let me finish this first!...

Yunho : Yah!! This is not fair… I am entitled to miss you Minnie…

Changmin : Open the washing machine lid and put your phone in there…

Yunho : What? No.. No.. I’ll be good boy… No Minnie… *panicky voice*

Changmin : You heard me hyung… Switch off your phone! Open the washing machine lid and put your phone in there…

Yunho : But…

Changmin : No buts, no argument… I will personally retrieve it myself.

Yunho : Baby…

Changmin : Na’uhhhh… Don’t baby me… Okay, bye!!

Changmin close his eyes and try to calm himself down. He swears he will explode with fuming anger if he is around familiar people and Yunho’s ear won’t survive that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After one hour, Changmin check his phone. He smiles as he seen a clean phone screen without any notifications.

Changmin : Finally… peaceful and silence…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After three hours, Changmin pick up his phone and check it again. Again, no notifications on his phone. He starts to feel good but with a bit of curiosity.

Changmin : He seems to be obedient to me… Good boy hyung!

He put away his phone. Stares at it for a while and resume his activity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Six hours passed and Shim Changmin are very sure Yunho are not contacting him at all. He held his phone and check the screen every ten minutes. Curiosity turns into denial.

Changmin : *Hmmm… too quiet… I wonder what he is doing right now…*

Changmin : Maybe going out with Siwon for a drink, or with Donghae… It’s okay… Or maybe hangout with BoA noona… He must be with her… He can’t stay alone for a long time. *Nothing to worry about Changmin… You will be in Seoul tomorrow morning…*

He let out a long sigh.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bed time in the hotel room. Changmin become so restless. He tries to push call button so many times but he withdraw his decision each time. Guilt start to build in but Changmin try to deny feeling that way.

Changmin : Hmmm… at least a good night call… it is acceptable hyung, you know that I won’t get mad…

He let out a long sigh and exhale deeply. His pillows doesn’t feel right at all tonight.

Changmin : Hyung…

He falls asleep with the phone in his hand. Tightly gripped all night.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morning came and he wakes up by himself. Its 10.00 am and his phone doesn’t ring a morning call from Yunho. He feels unusual. He rushes for shower and then breakfast.  

Changmin : Yunho-hyung… He must be really angry. Or sad.. I should call him… or maybe not…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At noon, the plane touches down in Seoul he rushes to the waiting vehicle. He barely catches his breath when he bombards questions to his manager.

Changmin : Hyung, did Yunho-hyung going anywhere yesterday?

Manager Hyung : No. Not that I know… Why Changmin?

Changmin : Nothing. *he must be sad.. I should just spend a few minutes for his goofy antics like I use too..*

Manager Hyung : He didn’t get out from the house at all. He maybe drive himself to places.  But that is just my assumptions. I manage to take my family out for a lunch and theme park all day yesterday thanks to him.. Don’t you call him at all?

Changmin : *Hyung, I’m sorry…*

The vehicle caught in a heavy traffic due to accident. Changmin became more restless.

Changmin : *Oh this traffic… please let me get home!*I just wanna go home.

Manager Hyung : Changminnie?.. Are you okay?...

Changmin : …. *look outside the window*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Door open. He hurries inside. Changmin almost fell when he pull off his shoes.

Changmin : I’m home!!! Hyung!!!

He put aside his bag and luggage. He runs to the kitchen. It’s empty. The house is quiet.

Changmin : Yunho-hyung….!!

He runs to the living room. It’s still and well-kept. Then, he makes haste to the balcony. He slammed the sliding door shut back and run to the gym.

Changmin : Honey…!! Where are you? *panicky*

He climbs the stairs to the bedroom.

Changmin : Yunnie-yah! I’m home…

He opened the door and found the older man on their bedroom couch. He is sleeping. Changmin can’t take away his eyes from Yunho. He let out a long content breathe.

Changmin : Hyung.... Awww… a bit feverish…

He sits beside Yunho and smile. Yunho sleeps in Changmin’s shirt and boxer. Changmin didn’t find it infuriating at all. Not as usual he often feels about it.

Changmin : You are such a baby hyung… Drooling in sleep… Always make me worry… Never give me a peace of mind… That’s what you are you know that?…

He left the room slowly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Laundry room. Changmin open his luggage and start to separate the whites and coloured and noticed something unusual.

Changmin : What the…? *jaw-dropped*

The washing machine lid is shut with a duct tape. He unmasked the duct tape and opened the washing machine lid. Before he could put the laundry piles in his eyes catch something shiny inside it. It’s Yunho’s mobile phone. Changmin pick it up and shake his head in disbelief..

Changmin : Oh, hyung… 

Author notes : HoMin got a personal phone just for each other. Or else this chapter will not make sense at all.
