BALI, HALF PRICE FLIGHTS STARTING AT 300,000WON
ESCAPE TO BORA BORA, THREE DAYS-TWO NIGHTS
SAIPAN ADVENTURES, SAVE NOW!!
Yoochun yawned as he scrolled through his emails. With Three Days finally wrapped, it was time for his usual vacation to somewhere far away and warm. A place that he could sleep in the sun without his shirt and drink beer and wear flip flops without a second glance. Maybe he could even get another tattoo or cut his hair or-
His phone buzzed on the desk, nearly knocking over his glass of water and ruining any sort of booking plans. Sighing, he picked it up, not even glancing to see who it was.
“Hel-”
“Yoochun-ah. She’s here.”
“Jaejoong?”
“YOOCHUN, SHE’S HERE.”
“Hyung what- Who’s there?”
“SHE IS.”
The desperation and anxiety in Jaejoong’s voice made him slightly worried. Granted, the two of them hadn't really had time to talk about much of anything over the past few weeks thanks to filming, but Yoochun quickly ran through a list of possible “shes” that could be causing him this much stress.
The only answers his mind could come up with were question marks.
“I have no clue who you are talking about.” He finally replied, after listening to Jaejoong’s desperate breathing on the phone.
“THE CUTEST LITTLE GIRL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. IS. HERE.”
Oh. That made things clearer.
“Sohyun is on set? Really??” He smiled at the thought of his cute hoobae, dongsaeng really, and wrote a quick note to buy her dinner at some point. “I wouldn’t really call her a little girl anymore...But tell her I said hi!”
“NO. Not Sohyun, you idiot. SARANG. CHU SARANG IS HERE.”
Oh.
OH. That little girl.
The little girl that had stole the hearts of Korea. Jaejoong’s included.
The one with the most adorable cheeks and smile that could (and did) get her anything that she wanted.
He was totally fucked.
“You’re totally fucked.”
Avoiding the responding screeching, Yoochun pulled his phone away and quickly texted Junsu.
Need to escape, Bali on me????
^v^v^v^
The next week, he and Junsu made it to Bali, somehow undetected despite not being seen together for quite sometime.
He was watching Junsu as he attempted to buy them some sort of frozen lemon drink by the beach when his phone buzzed against his leg. Knowing that it could be only one of three people (his mother, Yoohwan, or Jaejoong) since he was abroad, he raised it to his ear, trying to control his laughter as Junsu tried to flirt with the girl selling the ice drinks.
“Heh he-hello?”
“Yoochun-ah. She’s back.”
“Who? Hyung?” Yoochun had to bite his lip as one of the drinks slipped from Junsu’s hand and spread all over the cart.
“Yah. Yah, are you- Don’t you laugh at me, Park Yoochun!”
“Sorry, sorry. It’s not you, it’s-” He stopped to take a deep breath, turning away from Junsu and staring out at the water instead. “Sorry. Okay, what’s wrong? Who’s back?”
“She’s back!! Sarang!” The desperation in Jaejoong’s voice nearly had him breaking out in laughter again.
Since the first phone call, Jaejoong had called him a two other times when Sunghoon brought his darling daughter on set. According to Jaejoong, she’d ignored him the first visit. The second visit, she turned his way and stared at him and started to walk right toward him...only to walk right passed him for the food table full of snacks that his fans had provided.
The third time was by far the worst though.
The third time, Sarang had walked right up to Jaejoong, staring up at him with her big, round eyes. He then crouched down to her level with a huge smile, arms open for a hug...only for Sarang to reach out for the Hello Kitty clip in his hair.
Yoochun still wasn’t sure if he was more crushed about the loss of his Hello Kitty clip or because he was rejected by Sarang again.
Focusing back on the conversation, he sat down in the sand and prepared himself for a long conversation.
“So...she’s back. Do you have a plan this time?”
“I’m wearing my Hello Kitty jumpsuit...like I have been for the past three days. The noonas aren’t happy about that, but I sprayed it with febreeze this morning! I also may have stuffed my pockets with candy. Is she allowed to have hard candy? And lollipops? That’s okay for her age right? Maybe I should have just gotten yogurt, I know she loves yogurt-”
Yoochun pulled his phone away to sigh.
“I CAN HEAR YOU SIGHING, ASSHOLE. HELP ME, you’re so much better with little girls than me whyyyyy. This is like the NII shoot with Yoobin all over again, she fell in love with you at first sight and was so happy and calm to sit on your lap, why not me?? Am I ugly? It is because I’m old? Wait- her and the other dads are older than me on the show, so I must be Ugly, right? Right?? Yoochun-ah, help. I’m doomed.”
And this is part of the reason why Yoochun wanted to escape to Bali. He loved Jaejoong, he really did. But he was so over dramatic sometimes. After eight months of filming a movie and a drama that, in their own rights, were quite dramatic, he needed a break.
He dug his toes into the sand as he tried to quickly calculate the chance of staying a couple more days. But it wasn’t worth it.
“Hyung, I dont know what to tell you...Have you tried just...Calling her name or you know, talking to her father to introduce you two officially so that she knows you’re not some weird handsome stranger that appeared? She’s young, but I can tell you that she’s smart and isn’t just going to hug and kiss every person she sees.”
The silence over the line was only broken by the sounds of crashing waves and a few birds nearby. He wiggled his toes deeper into the sand as he waited for a response. After a minute, he shook his head.
“Go try that, okay, hyung? Let me and Junsu know how it turns out.”
“I might...I’m not saying that you’re right or anything! I just..might try and do that exact thing. I’ll let you know.” There was another pause and Yoochun caught himself smiling at the image of Jaejoong peeking out of his trailer at Sarang.
“Just...come home soon too, okay? I miss you. And Junsu too. Come visit me. Just you, not Junsu.” Come bring your baby powers was what he was really saying and that just made Yoochun smile more.
By the time they hung up, Junsu sat down next to him with a smile, a yellow stain on his white tanktop, and two large lemon ice drinks. Staring at the stain, Yoochun raised his eyebrow as he took a sip.
“I hope you got her number for that stain.”
“We’re going on a beach walk tomorrow night.”
“...We’re leaving tomorrow afternoon.”
“..........Shit.”
^v^v^v^v^
As they waited to board the next day,Yoochun scrolled through various updates on his phone as Junsu dozed on his shoulder.
There was one particular update that caught his eye. A new selca from a certain person’s instagram account. A selca featuring the little girl who’d captured Korea’s heart.
He felt the pure joy coming from Jaejoong’s face in the picture of the two smiling at each other as she sat on his shoulders, her hands grabbing at his hair. There were a few more updates after that one, but instead, he just leaned his head against Junsu’s and closed his own eyes.
Yoochun had seen all that he needed to see.
