Title<\/b>: My Universe, Your Ocean [Yunho\/Jaejoong]
\nRating\/Warnings<\/b>: PG for Changmin knowing everything
\nSummary<\/b>: Jaejoong asks Yunho a question.
\nAN<\/b>: Title from the Rurutia song, \u00e5\u0192\u2022\u00e3\u0081\u00ae\u00e5\u00ae\u2021\u00e5\u00ae\u2122\u00e5\u0090\u203a\u00e3\u0081\u00ae\u00e6\u00b5\u00b7. <\/p>\n
My Universe, Your Ocean<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do you like boys?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jaejoong asks, startling Yunho so badly that he nearly drops his bowl of rice. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the only two still in the kitchen, the others having drifted off to practice or sleep. Yunho was late back from a last meeting and didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get to start eating dinner until the others had nearly finished. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho asks, setting his bowl down in case there are other shocking statements coming. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why do you ask?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Jaejoong shrugs a shoulder, casual and unconcerned. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I just think it would be smarter, given our situation.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
He pushes himself gracefully out of his chair and saunters out of the room, leaving Yunho blinking in his wake. <\/p>\n
The five of them haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been together long, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the first personal question Jaejoong has asked, the first thing deeper than \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What do you like for breakfast\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do you mind if I borrow your shirt,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and it unbalances Yunho as he struggles to have an answer over the next few days. <\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been long enough, though, that Yunho understands \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcour situation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to mean \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbeing DBSK.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Long enough that he can see what Jaejoong is saying is true, that while they continue to be in this situation, the only safe place to seek out affection is within the group. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re too busy, too well-monitored for anything else. <\/p>\n
He hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t thought about it until now, but he supposes that sexual tension will be the same way. <\/p>\n
What Yunho isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sure about is whether Jaejoong was asking about Yunho himself, or just bringing up the topic so that it will come to Yunho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s attention, in the roundabout manner that Jaejoong sometimes uses to talk about things he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to discuss directly. He tries to get a read on Jaejoong over the next few days while he chews on the question still, but Jaejoong\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes don’t tell him anything, deep like the ocean so that Yunho can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see the bottom, and Yunho isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ready to bring up the conversation again yet. <\/p>\n
He turns to Junsu instead. Not that Junsu usually has a lot of deep answers, but Junsu is close, a brother, and well-versed in the ways of the corporation. Junsu sits cross-legged on the end of Yunho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bed, head tilted in concentration as he listens. He grins, insufferable, when Yunho finally bungles his way through the real question, and Yunho scowls at him. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Such a face!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Junsu reaches over to flick Yunho between the eyes, making the wrinkles in his forehead flatten out in surprise. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You asked me for my help, remember? But I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what help I can give you to figure it out. Do<\/i> you like boys?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho says automatically, wondering why he couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have just said that to Jaejoong. But something about the answer still itches under his skin. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153At least, last I checked. I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t thought about anyone in a while, and, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re under a lot of pressure, so, it makes you think weird things sometimes. But. I mean\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why are you still explaining?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Junsu laughs, not seeming at all disconcerted by Yunho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s inability to give a yes or no answer. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Look, do you like girls?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sure.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho blinks. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You know that. You and I used to rate all the girls that came in as new trainees, remember?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yeah,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Junsu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s smile softens, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153but we haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t done it in a long time.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been busy,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s different. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re DBSK now.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yeah, we are, Leader-sshi.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Junsu leans over to kiss Yunho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cheek. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153So it is.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Junsu slides off Yunho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bed and trots off to start trouble after sitting still for so long, and Yunho sighs. It isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like he expected Junsu to have any deep answers anyway. <\/p>\n
Yunho doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have Yoochun entirely sussed out yet, but the only other option is Changmin and Yunho isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ready to either corrupt the baby already or else discover that he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to, so Yoochun it is. He likes Yoochun enough, at any rate, more than enough, and if Yoochun is prone to bouts of homesickness and crying, Yunho doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind in exchange for the moments of quiet companionship he gets from Yoochun at other times. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Can I talk to you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho asks, leaning into the practice room, and Yoochun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fingers still on the piano keys, the soft melody dying away. Yunho waits to see Yoochun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes before he can judge whether Yoochun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mood is good enough for his questions. Yoochun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sad today, just curious, so Yunho comes in and sits next to him on the piano bench. <\/p>\n
He should have started with Yoochun, maybe, Yunho realizes, since Yoochun and Jaejoong have become close the fastest, and his real question is about Jaejoong and not himself. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m just not sure what Jaejoong\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s after,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho finishes his story, Yoochun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dark eyes steady on him. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Has he said anything to you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153About you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yoochun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyes spark a little, making Yunho frown. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Or about boys?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho confesses, giving a frustrated sigh. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What has he said?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s working too much and not sleeping enough,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yoochun shrugs a shoulder. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worried he won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be able to keep up. But he wants to. I think he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s happy.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho feels a sort of pressure he hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even realized he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d been carrying around lift off his chest. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think he wants to be happy with DBSK,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yoochun finishes, making Yunho blink. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ah,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho says after a second, understanding a little more. He eyes Yoochun, thinking. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What about you? Do you like boys?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Yoochun flashes Yunho a crooked half-smile and puts his hands back on the piano keys. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Keep a secret?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Of course,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho answers. Yoochun draws a light, half-familiar melody out of the piano. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I like Junsu,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yoochun confesses, voice shy but warm, and Yunho nods and thinks that if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like that, maybe that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be okay. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Of course you do,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says a voice from the doorway, and Yoochun and Yunho both whirl to find Changmin rolling his eyes at them. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Aish, you morons. You might want to close the door if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to play secret confession.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Yoochun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cheeks turn furious scarlet. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Changmin-ah\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry, my lips are sealed,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Changmin shrugs, pulling the door shut behind him as he comes into the room, and Yoochun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shoulders slump in relief. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But you should tell him, because he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s at least twice the sap you are. And you,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Changmin turns to Yunho, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Jaejoong doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care what you think about random boys, obviously. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only one reason he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d ask you anything like that.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re too young to know any of this,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho scowls, but he eyes Changmin thoughtfully. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind? This?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Too late for stupid questions like that.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Changmin meets Yunho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gaze evenly, and Yunho struggles to reconcile this serious, adult-eyed young man with the teenager who fights Jaejoong for the front seat of the van. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What do they think is going to happen when five guys who spend every waking moment together share bedrooms too?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Far, far too young,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho grumbles, while Yoochun cracks up at Yunho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s expression. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You know everything, and I still don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know whether I like boys or not.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The corners of Changmin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s smile are knowing and suggestive. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Who says you have to pick?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
So it is that Yoochun offers to switch rooms for the night, and Yunho is waiting on Jaejoong\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bed when Jaejoong comes in, hands damp from finishing the dishes. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sorry it took me so long to answer your question,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho says without preamble, and Jaejoong pulls the door shut and crosses his arms to hear it. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not used to you wanting to do things that are smart.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Jaejoong comes just close enough to be barely within reach, eyes still the ocean. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t asking because it was smart. And you still haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t answered.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Good, me either.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yunho holds his arms open, offering. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I do like boys, no. But I think I might like you instead.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The corner of Jaejoong\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mouth curls into a smile, and when he uncrosses his arms to take Yunho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hand and let himself be pulled in, Yunho finds he can see the bottom of the ocean after all.<\/p>\n
