Yunjae on Xmen, circa 2006
Tumblr media
This scene is one of the most infamous bits of ‘evidence’ that YunJae shippers refer to whenever defending them. It’s one of those things you really have to see with your own eyes to believe it. I know this scene has been done to death, but I still want to include it. The year is 2006, Jaejoong’s hair is O Jung Ban Hap platinum, and this was the year I started following Kpop. I distinctly remember liking Jaejoong with his natural hair colour a lot more, and talking with a netizen. When she asked me who my favourite member was, I said JJ, and she went. ‘The blonde one? I think he looks weird.’ LOL!
Anyway, this episode of Xmen was huge when it came out. Everyone was talking about how Yuri from Girlfriends had a crush on Yunho and sang ‘Maybe I Love You,’ to him. EVERYONE was singing to Yunho. Jaejoong sang ‘Hug’ to him as well: ‘Just for one day, I’d like to be the bed you lie upon.’ Make of that what you will. ROFL!
Tumblr media
This is Yuri. She’s so cute. I can’t believe Yunho turned her down. Oh yeah, that’s right. He was madly in love with Jaejoong at the time. 
Anyway, they were battling it out on the monkey bars, trying to wrestle/kick/tickle each other off. Yunho and Jaejoong are SURPRISINGLY good at this game. They’re on opposing teams, and every single time it boils down to a final battle between the two of them, during which hilarity ensues. This is their second (and more wellknown) battle on the bars.
Tumblr media
Yoochun is in the wings. He looks apprehensive, almost as if he’s worried that something unseemly might happen. I wonder why that is.
Tumblr media
This is where things really start to heat up. Yunho can usually get rid of people fairly easily by wrapping his legs around them and kind of twisting them off. I’ve never seen anything like it before. This sort of thing doesn’t fly with Jaejoong, though, who hangs onto the bars with seemingly minimal effort. Jaejoong finds this all very funny. There’s a huge smirk on his face.
Tumblr media
Yunho lugs himself up and down Jaejoong’s body in a futile effort to get Jaejoong to let go, but it’s just not working. It looks like he’s doing a very strenuous workout at the gym. This is incredibly hilarious. 
Tumblr media
And this is where things completely fly off the handle. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the scene that inspired a thousand YunJae fanfics, and made us all believers. Yunho gives up on his leg-twist thing, and simply opts to tickle Jaejoong off, who is by all accounts VERY ticklish. 
Tumblr media
They’re both enjoying themselves so much, and they’re completely oblivious to everyone else. Jaejoong is the quintessential Aquarian, whilst Yunho is far less obvious, but this scene is very, VERY Aquarian. Two friends/lovers/whatever they are off in their own little world, completely ignoring everything else going on around them except each other. Just look at Yunho’s face. He looks so pleased, and for once, his guard and his polished celeb-Yunho mask are completely gone.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the rest of the audience cannot believe what they’re seeing. Junsu looks like he’s witnessing a train wreck. Yuri has an ‘Is this actually happening?’ look on her face, and she looks embarrassed, almost as if she doesn’t want to be there. The other two girls at the back are just incredulous. Everyone is speechless. Their faces say it all.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, in YunJaeAquarianLand, Jaejoong’s cracking. A split second later he falls down, bringing Yunho with him. Yunho is careful not to land on Jaejoong.
I’ve always wondered why Yunho continued to keep his legs tightly wrapped around Jaejoong when he started tickling him. He could have just as easily gotten the job done without having his legs clasped around Jaejoong’s midriff. The whole point of his ‘legwrap’ manoeuvre was to get Jaejoong off the bars. If he was going to tickle him off the legwrap doesn’t make any sense, in fact if Jaejoong fell off whilst Yunho had his legs around him, Yunho would go down with him. Which is exactly what happened. 
I don’t really know what to make of YunJae. I think they were very, very close at some point. Whether or not that friendship crossed into different territory, I have no idea. Aquarians are incredibly unpredictable and whimsical. I do think they were both very much aware of the fact that they were almost exactly the same age - they were only born two days apart: Jaejoong on the 4th of February, and Yunho on the 6th, both in 1986. Koreans (and most East Asians actually) put a huge emphasis on horoscopes and birthdays. I’m pretty sure they appreciated that they were almost born on the same day. Another pair of great friends - Changmin and Kyuhyun - were also born under Aquarius, two weeks apart. Kyuhyun was born on the 3rd, 1988, whilst Changmin was born on the 18th. It’s pretty clear that the two of them were never anything more than friends though, lmao.
Rant over, but jeez I miss those days.
Present day YunJae:
Tumblr media
LMAO! Look how intensely Yunho is watching Jaejoong. You could cut the tension with a knife.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just look how earnestly Yunho is gazing at Jaejoong, as if he’s never seen anything so beautiful in his life before.
Some things never change.

Falling Over - Chapter 37
* flashback * “So… I guess you’re my last goodbye then?” Camila smiles softly at the now light haired boy who’s adjusting a camera on a stand aimed towards her bed. He’s in charge of the tech stuff while Lauren and Vero are down talking to Randa management about the time period they think necessary.
Zayn doesn’t reply for a moment, he’s bent down finishing the camera and seems to have not even heard her, but then he finally turns around and she knows what the look on his face means. Because she’s never seen a less than smug and happy Zayn Malik so she assumes this must be it.
“Mila,” he starts with a glance at her eyes before moving over to the bed and perching on the edge, gesturing for her to do the same. “I umm… I told them to go down because I kind of wanted to talk to you,” he confesses and plays with the sheets on the bed beneath his fingers.
“I’m glad you did because I wanted the same,” she smiles trying to calm how nervous the boy looks. “You can go first though because it seems more pressing?”
“Okay well I don’t really know where to start,” he begins with a shaky breath and Camila won’t lie and say she isn’t nervous by how nervous he is because she is. “I wanted to say thank you. For everything you’ve done for Lauren I mean, she’s really… I’ve never seen her happy, you know? Like she’s always been so worried about every single little thing from her current client to the type of detergent she uses, she’s a naturally stressed out person.
"And sure, she still worries about her current client but now it’s more because she’s in love with you. I know you feel like you’re torturing her but I promise you she wouldn’t trade you for anything in the world. You’re both so much better now with each other than before. It’s something in your aura too, you know? It’s hard to explain to someone without the sense but you’re just… brighter?” he offers with a shrug and a small smile that isn’t anything like his usual teasing ones and makes Camila smile back for a whole new reason than it usually does.
“And umm, I also wanted to just say that if anything goes wrong- I mean, not that it will, I’m almost positive and so is Vero which is good because she’s usually right about the future if you catch my drift, but that’s- I mean, what I’m trying and failing to say is that I’m going to miss you for however long you’re gone,” he finally says and connects eyes with the other girl to try to show that he’s sincere, since he’s not really used to having to express any feelings, especially to one of his best friends who he thinks might be gone for longer than he’d like.
“I’m going to miss you too,” Camila says, trying not to cry because Zayn is so good at keeping his cool but not being able to keep a few tears from slipping through. “I wanted to say thank you too but not for… just for being there for her and I wanted to make sure you’d still be there? You know if anything happens I just…”
“I will,” he promises quietly and takes them both by surprise reaching out to take hold of her hand and squeezing softly. “I’m not saying that you’re going to be gone for long, but if anything… I’ll be with her.”
She takes the next step. Well kind of only because of him though.
Camila has known Zayn for a few months now, which may not seem like a lot, and to her it didn’t at first, but thinking back now he’s been there for her no matter what, even if it is lingering in the background and making fun of her thoughts.
He’s been a solid part of her life ever since she heard him call Lauren’s name in the cafeteria and was momentarily jealous that the attractive boy was involved with her Lauren.
She knows Zayn though at this point. The cocky but not in a bad way, goofy when nobody is watching, and caring but not in the open guy. And she knows that he isn’t one to show emotion easily, probably in the same way that Lauren isn’t, they’ve both been through so much in their heads that it must be hard to be comfortable expressing anything.
So when she sees that he’s crying she can’t not hug him.
She does, hug him for a while that is. He hugs her back and it kind of reminds her of the time he carried her out of that mirror maze and held her until she was okay again. Thinking back on how similar the situation is makes her more upset because this ghost has been even more of a constant than him (obviously) but it’s still the biggest obstacle she faces.
But it also reminds her that she still has the same people in her corner. And they’re finally going to do something about it, even if it hurts a little bit.
“We should umm,” Zayn starts and pulls away from her embrace slightly to rub at his eyes. “We should probably finish this before they come back up,” he explains and pulls back completely and scratches his scalp eyeing her nervously once again, but now for a whole different reason.
“Oh Zayn, are you nervous that I’m going to tell the girls that you were crying?” Camila smiles brightly with a dopey grin as she teases him.
“Fuck off,” he laughs and shoves her hand lightly away from where she’d reached to nudge his shoulder. “They’ll never believe you if you don’t have proof.”
“I suppose you’re right,” se ponders in faux thought for a moment before grinning again. “But can you tell me the most embarrassing thoughts you’ve heard, I’ve alwys wanted to ask you but like… I figured you wouldn’t-”
“Yeah, yeah,” Zayn interrupts with a grin as he leans forward to grab another camera lined up to go against the far wall. “I guess you deserve some comedy before the torture,” he continues to tease back.
“Ha ha, every funny,” she deadpans and he chuckles softly before moving over to start finishing set up. “Now, work and talk, we only got a few minutes.” * flashback off *
They’re here now though, and Camila is asleep. She has been for almost an hour.
There’s nothing to happen really. Since they’re in the Randa, there’s nothing other than a bed, some cameras, and the cement walls. And the glass window of course, the one that separates Vero, Zayn, and Lauren from the room.
That’s where the first crack is.
The three standing guard have decided to sleep in shifts since eyes must remain on Camila at all times, but since it’s more than necessary to notice everything about the girl sleeping across from them, instead of one person staying awake and two sleeping, two are awake and one is napping.
Currently, Vero is asleep since Lauren insisted she wouldn’t be able to sleep and Zayn insisted that the oldest girl had just had a long flight and should use some time to recover.
“So do you know how long this usually takes?” Lauren asks in attempt to calm her nerves even though she knows the answer already.
“Lo, you know it’s impossible to tell before it happens,” he reassures, reading the nerves on the other girl’s mind though and racking his brain for something to talk about that can change the topic. “You talk to Vero at all about her time overseas?” he asks after he gives Lauren a minute to calm herself from his previous answer.
“Yeah I did for a few, she actually ended up helping on three cases, all successful in getting the haunters out, two were houses, one was a 46 year old woman Marissa,” Lauren answers, not tearing her eyes from a sleeping Camila and struggling to give Zayn a good answer because of her drawn focus.
Zayn in turn sighs because really what is he supposed to do? He doesn’t want Lauren so stressed but it probably is best if she’s completely focused on Camila. Even if it means a few days or a few hours of her being at maximum stress, it’ll lead to less upset in the future if her head is fully invested in the case.
“I talked to Chord again last week,” Zayn starts after a moment of silence filled with her thoughts in both of their heads. He could go back to fidgeting with the computer monitors on the other side of him but he figures that getting Lauren’s mind off of Camila (well as much as he can) is better right now. “He was upset to hear about Camila not doing too well, but he also agreed that since she’s showing so much strength now, that means good things for the future in this case. He was the same and it ended up working in our favor,” Zayn explain. He knows Lauren already knows all of this, but he also knows that she just needs someone to be talking and her mind eases up a little bit. He just wants to help get her mind off of it.
That’s when the crack happens. It’s bulletproof glass.
Zayn almost doesn’t notice it because Lauren’s thoughts are invading his head as much as he wants to avoid eavesdropping, however the room is so silent that he’s able to detect the small sound.
Both eyes snap up to the glass that’s separating them from Camila. Well more like down to it since they’ve been so focused on Camila who’s beyond the glass.
It’s in the bottom right hand corner, right in front of where Lauren is sitting and it’s not big, but it’s big enough for them to notice it. Camila is beyond the glass and has shifted to lie flat on her back. Which had actually happened before the glass started to split but the two hadn’t thought anything of it.
Lauren’s on her feet first, she doesn’t exactly move because she knows that she has to wait, but she’s ready to barge down the door separating them as soon as she needs to.
“Vero,” Zayn snaps not taking his eyes off of the creaking glass that’s slowly cracking more as the seconds pass. “Veronica wake the fuck up,” he snaps again, briefly flicking his eyes over to her to see the girl immediately hop up. People with the gift have to train themselves to be light sleepers.
“What’s up? What is it what hap-”
“The glass is split, we just need to be ready now,” he answers and tries not to listen to how panicked Lauren is.
“Okay well this could mean nothing. It could just be the first stage taking place, we don’t need to jump to any conclusions here okay Lauren?” Vero explains carefully eyeing the nervous girl who’s posed for action. “So just keep your eyes peeled,” she continues, uneasy herself now though when she notices the crack is slowly growing. Laurn’s eyes are locked on Camila though, waiting for any little thing to suggest something’s going wrong.
Nobody speaks for a few seconds, Vero focusing on the crack, Lauren focusing on Camila, and Zayn focusing on Lauren.
Now there’s three types of takeovers that happen at this point.
The first is the worst, and it almost always leads to the worst recoveries. It takes days to weeks and it’s the reason these rooms can be booked for unknown amounts of times. In this takeover the ghost takes it’s time. It gets acquainted with the body and slowly begins to infiltrate whenever it gets the chance. It weakens the victim to a point that he or she can not possibly defend themselves when the time to fight back comes.
Vero had a patient like this in Europe. It was Marissa, the 46 year old who had been haunted actively since she was in her early thirties. Vero wasn’t the head of the case, but she was the right hand woman, and she had to experience the gruesomeness that was watching Marissa be basically tortured right in front of her.
It had taken three weeks for the ghost to finally get into Marissa’s head fully, and once it did it was quick in feeding on her body and mind, but Vero and her team were quicker and luckily they were able to pull the ghost out before there was nothing left of the older woman. She was in a coma for months to follow up, two to be exact, but they didn’t doubt her survival once, she just needed the necessary rest that was recovery.
The second type of takeover is easier to stop but harder to recover from. The lead up is painful, but not the actual takeover. That, the takeover, is all at once. It’s quick, and painful to the victim, but in the long run better because the helper is able to knock the ghost back into it’s own dimension before it fully settles. Since it’s shooting all of it’s power, much like an explosion of it into the victim at once, it’s more likely to take out the him or her for a longer time, but it’s also more likely to take a few moments once it’s in and that leaves the gap.
Zayn had a patient like this in Chord. It was scary. All of that power being shot into someone at once is a scary sight no doubt, but with little difficulty Zayn and his partner at the time were able to eliminate the threat as soon as possible.
Chord’s story has been stated before, but he survived and is better than ever now. Despite a long resting period of multiple months, the worst of it was beforehand.
The third type of takeover is like the second type gone worst case scenario. It’s when the ghost has too much power for the victim to successfully take in. Not that it’s successful to take in the energy, but the worst it usually does is knock out the victim, meaning the doctors can work on the body quickly and keep the person alive. This is when there isn’t a chance to keep them alive because the energy surge killed them itself.
Lauren had a patient like this in highschool with one of her teachers.
And so it happens like this.
“Zayn watch the monitors for a closer look,” Vero demands, knowing since they both have emotional attachment she’s going to have to take some charge here. “Lauren don’t freak out, she’s fine right now, right? You know what you’re doing, we know what we’re doing, no need to panic.”
“Yeah Lo, plus you know Mila better than anyone, that girl’s pretty tough for someone so scrawny,” Zayn adds teasingly, trying to lighten the mood and smiling shortly when Lauren’s thoughts momentarily shift to positive ones.
They go back to negative when the other side of the glass cracks.
All eyes fall onto it as the splitting of glass fills the now silent room, both lines slowly going up towards the middle of the glass pane.
“Lo-” Zayn begins but the top corner cracks at the sound of his voice and lets out a splintering screech much louder than the others, moving a little quicker towards the center of the pane to catch up to the other two.
Lauren’s eyes look beyond the glass to see what she expected, and even though it was expected it doesn’t make it any less painful to see Camila’s body lifting. It’s not quick at all. You can just tell by the way her arms are hanging slightly that she isn’t still on it which is reassuring because nothing will happen right this second, but this minute? Maybe.
“Lauren,” Zayn says quietly and as if reading his mind she slowly makes her way over to the connecting door. All three of them knew from experience that the leading healer should be in the room when something like this happens because most likely they’re about to find out what type of takeover it will be.
So Lauren approaches the foot of the bed and thinks about her classes as she does. She reflects on wondering what it would feel like, what this would feel like. Knowing that this person’s life is in your hands, not knowing what’s going to happen next, never being able to tell how close you are to the end of this torturous road.
She only allows herself a second to think about the fact that it’s Camila.
The fourth crack in the final corner is the loudest, and the line shoots quickly towards the middle.
She would’ve given herself more time because once she starts thinking about Camila she never stops, but the cracking takes her mind back to where it’s supposed to be right on time for her to turn and see the glass shatter into bits in an explosive manner, shooting shards of glass all over and around the room.
She doesn’t take cover though, neither do Zayn or Vero, they’re quick to join Lauren in running for the body slowly lifting off of the bed, in a similar manner to the glass slowly cracking towards the middle from all corners.
There’s a second of fear, none of them being able to reach them, her shooting up unexpectedly, something else blowing up.
But then Lauren’s hand finds Camila’s in the dark room amongst all the chaos in her mind.
-
April marks four months of Camila’s sleep.
