Lysn, fromm me to you

Yunho stubbed his cigarette and stepped into the living room, shrugging off the cool air as he closed the balcony door. He looked up at the clock and frowned. It was past 3 a.m., yet there was still no news from Jaejoong. The latter promised to call him once he touched down in Seoul, which was supposed to be over two hours ago.

Just then, Yunho’s phone pinged with a notification. It was the fromm app. 

자기❤️

I’ve reached Seoul. I ate the nutrition supplements that my wife prepared for me so I’m totally not tired~

The plane was delayed twice so I had to wait a long time T_T

Yunho let out a weary chuckle at the mention of wife. Jaejoong had assured him that this was just his way of fielding questions about his love life, but sometimes, the insecure part of Yunho thinks that just maybe, Jaejoong loves his fans more than he loves Yunho.

Although, to be fair, Yunho is amazed at how Jaejoong is almost always able to sieve through and pick out his messages from the countless thousands that he’s receiving.

윤호

Jaejoong-ah, I’m glad to know that you’re back in Seoul. Rest well. Goodnight.

Within 30 seconds, there was an incoming call from Jaejoong.

“Yunho-yah, it’s so late! Why haven’t you slept?”

“I couldn’t sleep knowing you were still up in the air. And now I can’t sleep because I’m a little sad that you texted the fans before me.”

Jaejoong’s signature giggle floated through the line. It was a sound that Yunho would never tire of hearing.

“I didn’t want to bother you. Don’t you have a schedule tomorrow? Oh, right, it’s past 12. Happy birthday Yunho-yah. I love you to the moon and back. And welcome to the 40s club!”

“It always seemed like a milestone whenever the first digit of my age changed, but this year, it just feels like any other year. Thank you, baby. I love growing old together with you. But I’m afraid your eyesight will deteriorate and you won’t be able to pick out my fromm messages anymore.”

“Hey, don’t pour salt on my wounds. My left eyesight has really been getting worse. Ugh.. Anyway, speaking of fromm, is it okay if I check in there again for a while? I feel like I left without saying a proper goodbye. Call you again tomorrow? You should get some sleep.”

“Alright, go say goodnight to your girlfriends and wives.” Yunho tried to sound casual and pass it off as a joke, but some of his jealousy still seeped through.

“Still jealous? You know that you’ll always be my number one. Goodnight, my love. Sleep tight.”

Yunho does know, but there’s just something about the 3am air that allows all these toxic thoughts to surface. And maybe it’s his birthday, so he’s extra clingy. All Yunho wants to do now is to wrap his arms around Jaejoong and fall asleep to the rhythm of his heart.

But he can’t. So he turns to the next best thing, and opens the fromm app.

자기❤️

Oh, it’s 26 minutes.

2626~ it’s a cute number.

Yunho’s heart swelled with love at this small gesture. Even through a public app, Jaejoong never failed to show his love for Yunho in his own adorable ways.

Half an hour later, Yunho’s phone pinged with a KakaoTalk notification.

내사랑 재중이

Yunho-yah, I’ve washed up and am getting ready for bed. I’m hoping that you’ve fallen asleep and will only see this in the morning, but if you’re still up and want to talk, I’m all ears.

Yunho hates that Jaejoong can read him like an open book even through a phone screen, but his lips can’t stop curling up. 

Can’t sleep. Miss you.

Can we just text? I need to preserve my voice for the fanmeet tomorrow.

Miss you too.

Let’s go have a proper birthday celebration once we have some free time!

I miss our Mokpo trip~
