Paranormal Investigators (Fanfic)

Chapter 41: Time Warp (case closed)

            Junsu knocked on Changmin's door and handed him something when he did so. "Here. In case you're visited by a supernatural being again tonight."

"What about you?" Changmin asked.

"I'm fine. I no longer need it. Anyway, Yoochun could smell stuff and I share a room with him. If anything happens, I'll know." Junsu shoved the bracelet into Changmin's hand.

"Are you...?" Changmin gave him a questioning look.

"I'm still Junho," he informed.

"Oh."

"Why? Are you disappointed?"

"No. It's not that." Changmin denied. "You seem to be getting along with Yoochun hyung, so I thought..."

"You thought that Junsu has returned," Junsu derived.

"Yes."

"He hasn't. It's too bad, really. He's missing out. Anyway, I'll see you in the morning. Good night."

"Nite." Changmin shut the door after Junsu walked away. Slipping on the bracelet, he headed to bed to get some well-deserved rest.

Ilwoo took his guests to the marketplace the next day and let them wander around from stall to stall. The P.I. team refrained from buying anything, since they probably couldn't bring the items back with them. Instead, they tried out all the foods. It was utopia to Changmin's taste buds and stomach. Jaejoong was more interested with how the food was made, because he wanted to replicate the recipes.

Something caught Changmin's eyes at one of the stalls and he hurried over to take a closer look. "This is," he lifted a red marble beaded bracelet and his eyes widened, "it can't be."

"What is it, Changmin?" Jaejoong wondered.

"This is made of the same kind of marble as my bracelet. It's very rare. I barely managed to find one for myself, but they have plenty of them here."

Ilwoo stuck his head in to see what they were looking at. "Did you find something you like?"

"This marble is hard to find in the future," Changmin explained.

"You should get them then."

"No, it's fine. I doubt that I could bring them with me."

"I see."

They spent their remaining days in the Joseon dynasty sightseeing. With Ilwoo's permission, Jaejoong hung around the kitchen learning some recipes of the delicious foods they have been eating. Yunho and Changmin did some reading in the bookroom, whilst Yoochun and Junsu wandered around bickering with each other. Despite that, Junsu was getting along with Yoochun quite well. So well that his heart was beating as one with Junsu's: the original consciousness of this body.

It was their last day in Joseon, so Ilwoo and Minyoung decided to have a small wedding so that the P.I. team could attend. After all, they were the reason the two were able to be together. Minyoung needed to be carried around because of her injured leg, but that didn't stop them from having a good time. They had a grand meal with great food and alcohol. Yoochun and Junsu challenged each other, downing bottle after bottle of alcohol.

Jaejoong continuously placed food into their bowls, telling them to eat. "You guys are going to get drunk if you drink on an empty stomach."
