When Jaejoong comes back to 2003

[Chapter5] Pretend

Jinhee is his oldest noona and the rest is his parents. But who is this unknown number?.It has been almost 10 years and it is hard to remember who is that unknown number that he saved before. He couldnt even remember if he was the one who saved it on his contacts. He look at the number again, it says "010-1226-2003". 

"This must be in Korea. " Jaejoong said.

He decided to call the stranger.

*ring* *ring*

No one is picking up.

The 2nd line stop ringing, meaning that the other person picked up the call.

"Hello?" - said the other person in the line.

The other person on the line sounds so cold and based on the voice, he can guess that it is a man by his 20's.

Jaejoong was about to say hello back when he suddenly heard knocks on the door. 

When the door opened, he saw his mom, dad and his eight sisters smiling . He suddenly ended the call to the other guy.

" There'll be next time, but for now, i have to deal with my family." Jaejoong thought while waving hi and smiling cheerfully to his family.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jaejoong waved  to his family with a cheerful smile flastered on his face. He was feeling nervous but he has no room in his mind to think about it. He feels that his mind is full of random words that he needs to arrange in order for him to understand the right thing that he has to do. For the mean time, he decided to just act as his old self a.k.a to pretend to be somebody else. Well, that's what he thinks

His eldest noona hugged him tightly

"Yah Jaejoongahh~~ I miss you!!!" squeeled by his noona

"I miss you too noona! " respond jaejoong cutely

"yah! next time be careful while crossing the road okay? and don't tire yourself too much! are you feeling well now? do you want foods?what do you want? do you want me to buy chicken on onew's ahjumma store? (author's command: imagine Onew with ahjumma hair and pants eating his products in front of his store.  )

Jaejoong chuckles at his noona's sudden outburst

"Noona, im fine, don't worry too much okay?"

"How can I not worry about you? you are our precious one and only pretty jaejoongie" 

Jaejoong suddenly thought: pretty? oh yes I am pretty. *flips hair* ..he laughs inwardly at his vainess..Oh yeah! i remember i hate being called pretty when i was a teenager nad i always insist that I am handsome and manly. haha you fool..if you just knew the future

"Noona!" jaejoong cutely acts irritated  "I'm not pretty!I am handsome and manly okay?"

"Hahahahaha..yes!  manly to the bones !  ahahaha" his noona cannot stop laughing. Jaejoong is just too cute.

jaejoong playfully slap his noona's arms.

"Umma! look how manly jaejoong is. ahahhahaa" his noona is dying of laughing

jaejoong was about to throw his pillows to his noona when his smiling mom suddenly interrupts..

"aigoo you guys really miss teasing each other neh~ , stop fighting okay? jaejoong, you should not tire yourself out." his mom said calmly

"neh umma" jaejoong and his noona said together..

 Jaejoong's father suddenly interrupts

"okay, time for group hug!" jaejoong's appa said and his 8 sisters with his parents hugged him tightly.

"umma, appa!, noona's! i can't breath HAHAHHAHA" jaejoong shouted while laughing

" we will kill you with our love jaejoongie." his father said

" you greaseball" his mom uttered

" i know you love my greasiness, my queen" said jaejoong's father greasily.

jaejoong and his sisters can't help but to  laugh their asses off .

He realized how much he missed his family. how much he miss this type of feeling. "How long has it been since I laughed this hard ? since I TRULY laugh this hard?" he asked himself. He could not stop his tears from flowing while watching his family laugh. "oh~ how much did i miss them. I wonder how they felt when I suddenly just stopped seeing them. It must have been horrible for them to not see their precious jaejoongie . I didn't want to share my sorrow to them, i ddin't want to allow them see how miserable I was, I am.... How thankful I am to have a family like this. But at the same time, i feel burdened. I don't want to hurt them." he thought

He tried wiping his tears off but the tears won't just stop running. 

His whole family stopped laughing meaning that they are aware now that he is crying.

"Shit" he silently cursed at himself

"Jaejoongie,why are you crying? does your head hurt?" his mom asked with worried face.

jaejoong shakes his head. He cannot talk because he is crying too much

"your tummy aches? do you want me to  call the doctor? are you okay? should i call the doctor?" his youngest sister asked

jaejoong shakes his head again

"Then why are you crying????" his mother asked

"I ...I... I am just really thankful to have you guys as my family" jaejoong mumbled

"AWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwww'e <3 our jaejoongie <3 <3" his whole family squeeled.

he expected this reaction from his family.. he knew this would certainly happen.

All of his family members hugged him again.

The nurse suddenly came in telling them that it is time for jaejoong to rest .

" gahhhhhh..." one oh his sisters stompped his feet cutely.. "that nurse surely  has to enter the scene at the perfect moment."

They all laugh. jaejoong's mom suddenly spoke.

"Okay guys, we have to leave now to let jaejoongie rest,neh?~"

They all hugged once again.

"Jaejoongie~byebye!!!" his family waved at him before closing the door of his room.

jaejoong waved back at them with a smile.

His family finally closed the door and jaejoong was left in his room again. He feels so happy right now. He feels lonely without his family but at the same time, he feels thankful that they finally left since he needs to organize his thoughts.

"well, it's not really that hard to pretend as young jaejoongie." jaejoong thought

"Everything felt so natural. I wonder if the same thing will happen if ever DBSK reunite . probably not ". " he shakes his head " I should really stop thinking about negative things."

He then drifted off to sleep because of tiredness.
