Friend.Soulmate.Rival.
Long-Lasting FriendsWhilst Jaejoong was chatting altogether with the others along the way, Yoochun just wandered his gaze towards anywhere else; with his ears still listened to everything that Jaejoong has said. Sometimes, Yoochun even giggled over the other’s silly words as well secretly. As Yoochun didn’t put much attention on the others, he didn’t even realize that Yunho was actually looking at him several times as well with curiosity.
“What do you think, Yoochun?” asked Yunho so casually; practically making Jaejoong, Yoochun, even the other friends looking at him weirdly.
“Me- what?” asked Yoochun back, obviously wasn’t ready to answer the sudden question.
“Don’t ask him!” Jaejoong quickly interrupted as he slapped Yunho’s hand lightly; somehow feeling afraid that Yoochun might didn’t like the interruption of his private time. “He’s just a man without opinion, Yunho. As clueless as a human could be.”
“What? Isn’t that too harsh?” replied Yunho, trying his best to not laugh over the other’s words.
“He knew about that too. I’ve been telling him about that a lot,” Jaejoong said with a pout; didn’t even realize that he wasn’t helping Yoochun at all right now. “You see, sometimes we need to get an opinion when choosing the clothes that we wanted to buy... right? But every single time I’ve asked him about it, he always answered it with ‘Looks fine’ or ‘That’s alright’. Isn’t that so annoying?”
Yoochun just shrugged it off easily, as the others were looking at him amusedly; especially Yunho.
“I think it’s just you acted like a woman, Jae,” replied one of the bunch; Geunsuk, with a giggle.
“What?! I didn’t!” complained Jaejoong almost right away with his widened eyes.
“Wait- that’s not the point,” said Hyunjoong, who was also there, as he was glaring at the other with suspicion. “Why did you go shopping with him? You always tell us that you don’t like to buy clothes with anyone else since it’s uncomfortable!”
“Yoochun isn’t just anyone. Isn’t he?” asked Jaejoong back, raising his eyebrows slightly.
“And what that makes us?” pushed Hyunjoong once more.
“Huh? You’re my friends; as well as the others like Yunho or Geunsuk,” answered Jaejoong, frowning as he felt that the other’s question was so weird for him. He took a slight glance towards Yoochun, who has laughed in silence upon the obliviousness of him, though Jaejoong decided to leave him be for now and paid his attention back to Hyunjoong. “What was that supposed to be?”
“Let’s find something to eat now. It’s already past two and we haven’t eaten our lunch yet,” Yunho finally broke the discussion between the two of them, thinking that it wouldn’t meet an end in any ways. He was then turning his attention towards Yoochun, who has calmed himself down again. “Do you have something that you want to eat, Yoochun?”
Yoochun was taken aback for the second time, didn’t expect for Yunho to start another conversation with him. “No,” he answered hesitantly. “I don’t mind with anything.”
“See! He’s a man without opinion,” Jaejoong retorted almost instantly, pointing his finger right at Yoochun. “I have to decide everything for him and me whenever we’re going out; literally!”
Yunho was instantly laughing aloud, couldn’t help to find that Jaejoong and Yoochun’s relationship were actually funny and refreshing. He just realized that even though Jaejoong was so obsessed with the other, he was still able to mock Yoochun.
“Anyway, does anyone mind to eat at the food hall instead?” Jaejoong suddenly changed the topic, as he felt uneasy with the sudden attention from Yunho to Yoochun. As much as he should like the fact that Yunho was accepting Yoochun as a part of them, he still couldn’t. “I’m kind of craving for the pajeon that’s sold there, actually.”
“Sure, I don’t mind at all,” answered Yunho, couldn’t find anything wrong from Jaejoong’s words. Yet before they had a chance to walk further to the food hall, Yunho has stopped his steps and smiled awkwardly towards the others. “Need to use restroom for a second. I’ll be back soon, okay?”
Yoochun’s gaze was never leaving the half-running Yunho, due to his suspicion and curiosity. Yoochun knew that Yunho was acting unusual with him today, which meant that there was something in the latter’s head. Knowing that he couldn’t get the real answer by staying with Jaejoong and the others in a meantime, Yoochun finally sighed deeply.
“I’m going too,” said Yoochun.
Since Yoochun didn’t care about the other’s opinions, he has already started walking without even bothered to wait for any replies. But of course, his plan indeed wasn’t as easy; not when there was Jaejoong around him as well. Within no time, Jaejoong has already caught him up and walked right beside him unknowingly.
“To the restroom?” asked Jaejoong light-heartedly.
“Yeah,” Yoochun replied as he was thinking on how to get rid of Jaejoong for some minutes. “Can’t you just- wait there with the others? I’m just going to go to the restroom. You don’t have to follow me there too, right? Just have a chat with the others in a meantime.”
“But-”
Jaejoong immediately stopped in a midway as he could see the seriousness on Yoochun’s face. Sure, Jaejoong desperately didn’t want to let Yoochun left alone with Yunho after everything he has seen. But on the other side, Jaejoong also knew that Yoochun was being reasonable. He couldn’t go that far; especially when Yoochun had no idea that Jaejoong was thinking that way.
“Okay,” replied Jaejoong finally.
“Good. It won’t take long,” said Yoochun back with a smile, ruffling Jaejoong’s hair on the process.
Instead of getting into the male’s restroom, Yoochun just leaned against the wall as he was waiting for Yunho. After all, going to the restroom was just one of his excuses to talk with Yunho by himself. Yoochun needed to know the other’s intention, so that he could decide the next thing he should do.
“What- Gosh! You nearly made me get a heart attack!” shouted Yunho, as soon as he saw Yoochun’s appearance right at the outside of restroom.
“Not my intention. But sorry, I guess,” replied Yoochun, just after a moment of silence.
“What are you doing?” asked Yunho confusedly. He didn’t understand on why Yoochun haven’t gone to the restroom and just stood there; right in front of him. “Don’t you want to go to the restroom as well? Do you want me to wait you her
