When My World Falls-JAEYONG

15 | progress

It's been a day since that happened. Taeyong arrived in the studio still thinking about what he did. Surprisingly, Jaehyun didn't really say or do anything. It also happened when he accidentally held Jaehyun's hand. After that, Taeyong even had to awkwardly exit the room, saying bye and a sorry, and internally screamed. He was kind of lucky, if you asked him.

He should snap out because he's going to drive. He needs to drive because he gets to bring Jaehyun to the therapy session today. This won't be a daily thing, but he will check up on him from time-to-time though he doubts Jaehyun would open up. As long as he's fine, Taeyong doesn't need to worry.

As soon as the boy finished his breakfast, he grabbed the car keys and went out of the house to get into the vehicle. He started the engine of the car when he sat on the driver's seat.

"Careful on the road, Yongie," his mother reminded him.

The boy nodded, "Yeah, I will."

Before he drove off, his phone suddenly rang. An incoming call was shown on his screen and it was from Jaehyun's aunt. He accepted the call and placed the phone against his ear.

"Good morning, Ms. Jung. I'm already on my way," he said.

"Good morning. I already told Jaehyun to get ready. He said you'll be waiting by the street?"

"Yes. I already picked him up there last week when he had his session."

"Okay. Please do call me if you have any questions. I'll be able to answer it even when I'm at work," she said.

"Will do, Ms. Jung."

The short call was ended before Taeyong drove away. He's getting confident driving since he's father has been teaching and practicing him last weekend every after dinner. They would have a small car ride and Taeyong does enjoy it. Deep in his mind, he wanted to bring Jaehyun in a small car ride at night. Something that would ease his mind off everything.

Stopping just by the corner of the street, Taeyong looked around the sidewalk and thought it would take Jaehyun sometime but he already saw the man walking up towards. He looked at the time on his phone and saw that he still has enough time, hopefully.

With a big, sweet smile on his face, Taeyong greeted Jaehyun when the man hopped in.

"Good morning," the boy started the car again and was already trying put the vehicle on the lane.

Hearing that, Jaehyun remembered the 'homework' Taeyong's mother told him to do. It was still up for him to make a habit out of it and make him feel a bit more confident with speaking. Since the boy did it first, he maybe can start doing it right now. It is Taeyong, anyway, and he already tried greeting his aunt this morning but it came out really timid that his aunt thought he was cute.

"G-Good morning..."

Although it wasn't that loud, it was enough for Taeyong to hear it and made the boy's heart to skip a million times. The boy's eyes went to look at the man beside him who was glaring at him.

"Was it wrong?" Jaehyun asked, nervous that he might said it so stupidly or wrongly. He was overthinking again.

Taeyong smiled, a smile that he couldn't stop, "No, but it was a good progress. A really good one and I'm glad you're atleast trying."

The man's tensed expression softened and gave the boy a soft nod. Taeyong started driving away, staying in a quiet atmosphere. They haven't had a proper conversation but this was good for him. He felt happy for Jaehyun.
