Chapter 8 New Additions
"Yunho, what happened? Did you get to talk to him?" Yoochun asked.
"He's in his room. Alone, with Junsu!"
Yoochun's eyes widened at the words 'room' 'alone' and 'with Junsu.' "You're not trying to say that JaeJoong and 'MY' Junsu are engaging in a romance. Right?"
"Your Junsu?" Yunho asked.
"Well yeah! Might as well say he's mine now, which means JaeJoong can't have him! Junsu and I are supposed to share a forbidden love. Vampire and mortal…, ah, the romance!" Yoochun said with a sigh.
"Whoa! You're sounding like a girl," Yunho said.
"Not a girl! A romantic!" Yoochun said with a frown on his face.
"Honestly, I've never seen you like this in this century that we've known each other!"
"Well, I've never been in love before! Come on, I know how to find out what's going on," Yoochun pulled Yunho out of the room with him and headed towards the kitchen.
'And he was the one worried about a forbidden love earlier?!' Yunho thought as he let himself be dragged away.
(¯`'•.¸(¯`'•.¸(¯`'• •'´¯)¸.•'´¯)¸.•'´¯)
Yoochun and Yunho walked into the kitchen to find Changmin there. You didn't have to get to know Changmin for a long time in order to figure out that he was a food fanatic. Food to Changmin was love! If Changmin were to ever get out of sight one could easily find him in the nearest food place or in this case the kitchen.
"Oh hi guys! You want something to eat?" Changmin offered the two that had just entered the room.
"No thanks Changmin," Yoochun replied. "So, Changmin… you three…, how long have you guys been living together? I mean, you're still in that upper year school," Yoochun said.
"Uh, you mean high school," Yunho corrected.
"Whatever," Yoochun replied. "I mean, don't you guys live with those of your bloodline?"
"You mean family. Relatives, parents," Yunho corrected again.
"Yunho, do you want to do the asking?!" Yoochun sounded irritated now.
"Well Chun, if you didn't live locked up all the time and came out to the 'real' world you would know these simple things," Yunho shot back.
Yunho began to understand exactly where Yoochun was trying to get at with questioning Changmin. He wanted to find out whether JaeJoong and Junsu were closer than just friends and Changmin was the easiest, in fact, the only person they could get information out of.
"What Yoochun here is trying to ask, is how long you guys have been living together? It seems very strange that guys your age have a place of your own. I mean, what about your parents?" Yunho inquired.
Changmin paused for a bit, putting down what he was about to bite into. "You see, us three, we're the same. At first we were just three individuals who were forgotten and alone. We found each other and we were no longer alone because we had each other. JaeJoong is the oldest so he has always looked out for us. We're all like siblings. We may not be blood brothers but we are definitely brothers no matter what! If it weren't for Joongie and Susu, I would have probably given up a long time ago and I wouldn't be in school right now. I'm top of my class! Can you believe that?!?!" Changmin smiled.
Yunho and Yoochun couldn't help but smile. Here was such a cute boy right in front of them that was so innocent. They shared a connection with this mortal, of abandonment and hope, yet they were so different from him. They felt they wanted to take care of this boy who had so little yet was so happy for having anything at all. And the motivation that drove this young boy, it was truly amazing. Yes, Yunho and Yoochun were thinking the same exact thing. They wanted to close the bond between this family that was scrapped together with mismatched patches of cloth.
"Changmin, we'd like to become really good friends with you," Yunho said.
Changmin looked at the older boy with wide eyes. "Are you serious?!? You want to join my family?!?!"
"Why not?!" Yoochun said. "Unless… there's not enough room in your family for two more."
"Of course! There's tons of room!"
Changmin was so happy that he got up off his seat in excitement, forgetting (for the first time ever) that there was food in front of him. He went up to Yunho and gave him a giant hug just as JaeJoong and Junsu walked in. JaeJoong and Junsu both wore a puzzled expression on their faces. Changmin looked up at the two and quickly pulled Yunho towards them.
"Everyone! Yunho and Yoochun said they want to be part of our family! Isn't that great?!?!" Changmin said loudly and enthusiastically, jumping up and down holding Yunho's hand. "Finally! We can complete this family!" He ran pulling Yunho with him and grabbed JaeJoong's hand with his free hand. "Yunho will be our daddy!" He put both JaeJoong and Yunho's hands together. "Isn't that right mommy?!" Changmin asked looking up at JaeJoong.
JaeJoong and Yunho stood there, with their hands touching, a shade of rouge creeping onto their cheeks.
Why does it always feel like this kid knows something! That innocent smile pasted on his face! I swear, if I find out he's been doing all of this on purpose I'll not cook for him for a week!! JaeJoong could only look away to try and hide his tinged face but he couldn't help but glance at Yunho, trying to memorize the features of his face: his lips, his eyes, nose, every mark, even the shade of his skin. JaeJoong licked his lips and gulped. Yunho saw this and couldn't help but keep his eyes on those luscious lips that he wanted to claim as his own so much!
Yoochun stood up and interrupted this awkward moment. "Whoa! What about me? Yunho's the dad, JaeJoong's the mom. Junsu is?"
"The older brother," Changmin replied.
"And I am?" Yoochun asked.
"Brother-in-law," Changmin answered.
Everyone just looked at Changmin with wide eyes. No one had expected those three words from Changmin.
"I don't get it, how am I the brother-in-law, might as well be another one of your older brothers," Yoochun said to Changmin.
"Yeah, well, if you were another one of my brothers then how could you date my other brother?" Changmin asked.
Junsu's jaw dropped.
"What are you saying Min?! That this guy and I date!!?!" Junsu said flustered.
"I'm not this guy!" Yoochun shot at Junsu, "I have a name, and I rather you use it. Please."
Yunho had been slightly surprised at Yoochun's sudden change in attitude towards Junsu whom he proclaimed to be head over heels for. What was even more surprising was the transition to softness and the use of politeness. Yoochun's vocabulary lacked many things that mortals used in their everyday life, but those holes were filled in with the vampiric terms, however, no matter how you look at it, politeness and rudeness always exist. Still, Yoochun never bothered with the "please's" and "thank you's". Yunho couldn't help but laugh at this. It was so strange to see this side of Yoochun.
I guess Yoochun's first romance is serious. Yunho thought while trying to stifle his laugh.
Junsu looked intently at the other boy that had just been given the title "boyfriend" and "brother-in-law." He knew exactly how Yoochun felt and it was evident that he felt the same way, so why not plunge into this? It's really that simple! However, Junsu had this feeling tugging at his heart and it was the fact that these two guys who suddenly showed up may not even be human.
