A Diffferent Time

A Chance to Change the Past

The five members of DBSK were all laughing and joking with each other and didn't notice me even if I was standing right there in the middle of the room. They were too busy goofing around and having fun. If I wasn’t in a dreary situation right now, I would totally be gushing at their interaction with each other.

However, dreary as my situation might be, I still can’t help but stare at their beauty. I suppose one can never help but appreciate their beauty, no matter what situation they are in.

They were all sweating a lot (though this might make them even more appealing for some) and looking quite wiped out, though. Their clothes also looked quite familiar to me for some reason.

As I stood there, gaping and wondering if I was dreaming, Yoochun finally spotted me.

He glared at me and demanded quite harshly, “What are you doing here?” (A/N: lines of characters in italics are said in Korean.)

This led to the attention of the other four to be focused on me as well. They all stared at me for a moment. I could only stare at Yoochun, though, as I couldn't understand what he said. Judging from his tone, though, he wasn’t quite pleased to see me. Not that that’s really surprising.

“Oh man, not again!” Changmin groaned, slapping his forehead. “I don’t get how these crazy fans keep getting into our rooms!”

“Um, what?” I said blankly. "I can't understand what you're saying."

“Oh, great. This one can’t even understand Korean. Even better,” Junsu said a bit sarcastically. Then he turned to me and said, “Changmin just called you as another crazy fan who breaks into our privacy.”

At being called a ‘crazy fan’, I snapped out of the rest of my trance. “Excuse me?” I said incredulously. Then, I added indignantly, “I am not a crazy fan!”

I mean, I'm a fan of theirs, of course, but I am so not one of those that could be described as a ‘crazy fan’.

“Breaking into our dressing room proves otherwise,” Jaejoong said coldly, staring at me. I was more than a bit intimidated at once.

“Call for security,” Yunho instructed Yoochun, going into leader mode.

“Hey, wait! No!” I cried immediately. I had no idea what was happening or how I even ended up in this situation, but I knew that security being involved would only make things much worse for me.

“And you say you’re not a crazy fan,” Changmin scoffed.

“I’m not!” I insisted, scowling at Changmin. “I don’t even know how I got here!”

They all looked at me disbelievingly. Again, I can’t blame them.

Then I added quite uncertainly, “Umm… and where exactly is ‘here’, again?”

“She’s not just a ‘crazy fan’,” Changmin said, turning to Yunho. “She’s really like crazy as in ‘insane crazy’!"

I narrowed my eyes at Changmin, more than sure than what he said was again not very complimentary.

“To answer your question, though,” Junsu butted in, smirking, “You’re in our dressing room, as Jaejoong hyung already mentioned.”

“Yes

Chapter 1: Every time I miss them and yearn to be within this casual intimate space with them, I come back to this story. Every time I ask myself unanswerable questions or think of what-ifs and how different the future could've been, I come back to this story.

I wasn't sure about reading this story at first, as I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that everything the boys have experienced - good or bad - has helped them grow and mature into who and what they are today, as different as they might be in the story. They each paved their path with their efforts and hard work. They all grew a lot, learned a lot, and made many amazing achievements and precious memories. The things they did, the music they made, and the experiences they gained in those ten years apart are all equally precious, and I honestly wouldn't trade them for an alternate reality.

That's why I treasure their present as much as their past. Their past will always be precious - to them and us - no matter how much time passes or things change. If they ever have a future together, that day will be the happiest in Cassiopeia's history. Until that day comes, I will treasure every day they spend growing and doing their best in what they love. I'm grateful enough that they exist in this world in my lifetime.

Yet there are days when I wish this story was real and yearn for any interactions between the five with all my being. On such days, every DB5K song, video, and picture just makes me cry and scream WHY.

It's even worse when I read this story set in 2014 and realize that barely anything has changed five years later. Instead, we now yearn to see JYJ interactions just like we always did with DB5K. It's so painful and frustrating. It's naive to think it'll ever get less hard and sad to remember after many years. That's because no matter how much time passes, they'll never be less precious in our hearts.

Being part of Cassiopeia is not easy. Our boys are separated and experience many hardships, and our fandom is equally split, messy, and toxic as a result. There's a lot we need to endure, wait for, and persevere through as fans. But the boys honestly make anything and everything worth it. They're the reason we're all still here going strong 15 years later. We still empty merchandise and album shelves and increase votes and views. We still sell out tickets and fill venues. We're still a shining pearl red ocean. We're still keeping the faith and finding happiness and inspiration in our boys. We honestly couldn't be more blessed.
