missing pieces | doil

chapter 18

Soft sniffles can be heard in the fancy-looking hospital room. The young doctor had been holding Taeyong hands since in the morning, guilt eating him alive thinking about his last word to his ex-lover was a bad thing. He would never imagine that yelling and screaming to the man who helped him to stand on his feet all this time was their last conversation.

Taeyong needs to survive this, he is the strongest man Doyoung had ever meet. Doyoung promised he will fix everything!

After bickering with Taeil and how Taeil voices out his insecurity and jealousy for the first time, Doyoung drives out in the middle of the night to Taeyong's apartment. Taeyong wasn't there and he waited for Taeyong to return, as soon as Taeyong come down from his car with a smile forming on his tired face seeing Doyoung after all day of working – Doyoung yelled at him. Blaming him for poisoning Taeil thought.

Taeyong was tired and asked Doyoung to go home as he doesn't have the energy to deal with him but Doyoung couldn't leave before Taeyong convince him that he will never meet Taeil without his permission. Taeyong was so hurt by it he decided to drive and run away from anything that would remind him of Doyoung.

He was angry and tired. He was speeding up so does everyone else that is trying to go home late at night and it was raining, Taeyong crash into a truck, and a truck crash into him.

"Bubu... Wake up, look at me," Doyoung softly cries into Taeyong hands while he massages the cold hands and kissing every finger. Wishing Taeyong can tell that the love of his life is waiting for him to open his beautiful eyes.

His mind travels to the crying Taeil image he saw last night. If Taeil wasn't too insecure and jealous of everything and understands his situation like how he understands his relationship with Jungwoo. None of this would happen. He doesn't need to hurt Taeyong and lead him laying down unconsciously in the hospital.

Taeil is the problem from the very beginning. His lies lead them there.

Doyoung can catch more voices entering Taeyong room. He can catch Taeil voice too. His mother-in-law pat his back softly, greeting their sad son-in-law. She didn't comment anything after seeing Doyoung was holding Taeyong hands tightly. They know their relationship before marrying Taeil. Taeyong's mother leads her cousin outside the suffocating room and they left Taeyong with Doyoung.

Taeyong's cousins enter the room to see his condition. Yuta had been crying since the first time he stepped in. Doyoung hasn't turned around but he can feel Taeil present. They weren't any word from them but he can feel Taeil eyes on him but he ignored it. He wasn't in the mood to even look at Taeil then.

The room was empty again and Taeyong's father entered the room with Yuta.

"What is Taeil doing here?" Mr. Lee complained slowly but it still clear as glass in between Yuta tears.

The cold words remind him when he first announced to break up with Taeyong, they were furious because they had announced their wedding to all Taeyong's close friends and his big family, they had prepared for the marriage for years and ended up breaking it before it could happen.

It wasn't easy for them to explain to everyone what happened but they always put the blame on Taeil and their favourite nephew Taeyong said he doesn't want to talk much about it. Their big family should respect Taeyong decision but his own parent was unable to accept the truth even though they hadn't said much.

Taeil supposed to know about Taeyong and Doyoung too but he was away from everyone and busy protecting himself from the judgmental eyes, he didn't know much about Doyoung and Taeyong's relationship. He wasn't even close to Taeyong from the start.

Doyoung couldn't say anything right then nor he wants to admit it but his love for Taeil is bigger than what he had for Taeyong. His time with Taeil is more special for him and Taeyong was his whole life. Taeyong was there helping his getting his own base but Taeil make him feel at home and accepted. Both of them are special for him in a different way.
