Chapter Twenty Five

Since the day Taeyong told everyone about the MBC, him and Jaehyun hasn't talk. He knows he have to give him space, but he misses him so much to the point it hurts.

"Yongie~ It'll be fine, okay? Jaehyun will eventually understand you." Ten caressed his back as he comforted him. "But when? Tomorrow's the last day of school.."

Taeyong sighed, he'd been crying for nights. He doesn't know what to do, should he stay for Jaehyun? But what about his mom?

Oh damn, mom..

His mother will be home next week, and she probably got some new plans for him. Taeyong isn't sure what to prioritize now.

"Jaehyun loves you, we all know how serious he is for you." Johnny comforted too. The red haired guy isn't third wheeling right now, it was the couple who wanted to comfort him.

He loves me.. then why can't he understand me?

This isn't the right time but Taeyong started doubting the younger's feelings for him. He trusts him, but.. he's just hurt right now. But I've hurt him too. Why is it even so complicated?

Or maybe it's us who's making it complicated?

Taeyong was at the middle of trying not to cry again when Johnny's phone suddenly made a sound, "Who was it?" Ten asked, since he noticed his boyfriend's heavy sigh.

"Lucas texted, he said Jaehyun's getting wasted at the dorm."

Ten also sighed and turned back to his best friend, "Taeyong.. maybe it's time for both of you to talk?" but the red haired guy immediately shook his head. "He's drunk."

Johnny nodded, "Yeah, but you should take care of him tonight. Stay with him. And then you two can talk tomorrow." It's actually not a bad idea.

Taeyong just agreed, he's the reason why Jaehyun's drinking anyway- might as well take the responsibility as his boyfriend.

From Taeyong's house, Johnny's the one who drive them back to the dorms. Yangyang was pushed to sleep at Yuta and Lucas' room, Johnny at Ten and Yangyang's room.

The red haired guy felt how his heart went to pieces when he saw Jaehyun, the guy's already sleeping on his bed with few tears on his face. He cupped his cheeks as he stole a kiss.

I missed you.

Taeyong just sat there beside him, staring at his boyfriend. I'm so fucking stupid for doubting your love for me, I'm sorry. A hot liquid fell from his eyes.

He leaned closer to give his boyfriend a kiss on his forehead, but Jaehyun woke up and held his cheeks, "My love.." he huskily murmured.

Hearing his voice, Taeyong bit his lip as he breaks. "Why..?" the younger continued to drunk talk while his eyes are half closed. "Why did you.. plan your future without me? Am I.. not.. part of it?"

Taeyong remained silent, he just realized what his lover's been thinking these past few days. He was too busy doubting Jaehyun's love for him, as he wasn't aware how hurt his boyfriend is.

Jaehyun suddenly sat up and faced the red haired guy, he's still drunk but he's trying to get his shits together. "It hurts, Taeyong. It fucking hurts as if the world is trying to go against me. Why..? Are you planning to break up with me? You wanted to take the path alone? Did you just think of me as a short-time lover? Am I just.. no one?"

"J-jae.. it's not like that-"

"Then, what? Tell me why am I not included with your plans?" Jaehyun broke down once again. He feels like he isn't drunk with alcohol, it's like he's drowning from reality that he's hoping that it isn't.
