When My World Falls-JAEYONG

17 | possible confession

The scene where Jaehyun's fears all began became his dream. His mother appearing with a shattered bottle piece, chasing him around the cold and dark place. Jaehyun was scared. He trying to outrun her so badly but she was able to catch up to him. He was crying, wailing for help but no one came in to stop her. His mother looked so horrifying, madness taken over her. Her hand was bleeding because of tightly gripping onto the sharp piece, while her other was almost ripping Jaehyun's arms from how tight the grip was.

"No one will waste their time for you! Do you hear me?! You useless brat! You're better off dead!"

"...hyun! Jaehyun! Wake up!"

Jaehyun opened his eyes, not noticing how tears were continuously falling while he was sleeping. His aunt was shaking him, worry flooding over her face. The man wasn't still over about what happened in his nightmare, the elder hugged him very tightly. From the sudden warmth, Jaehyun's emotions suddenly bursted and resulted to him crying harder.

"I'm here, Jae. It's me, okay? I love you, baby. Just cry it all out," his aunt whispered soothingly as she tried hard not to cry, wanting to be strong for him.

It wasn't the first time, but his aunt just gets so worried when he starts crying and screaming while he's asleep. She was scared for him and all she could do was to comfort him.

Please, make it stop.

Taeyong felt like something was wrong. He was in class but he was bothered, like he was uncomfortable. He kept fidgeting and couldn't focus in class. He doesn't know why. Bringing out his phone and hiding it under the table, Taeyong started sending his family some messages, asking them if they're fine. He even texted some of his friends to make sure.

"Hey, you're in class," Johnny said.

"I know," Taeyong uttered back, "Uhm...are you and Ten good? Like, your relationship is still good?"

The man looked at him with furrowed eyebrows, confused why he was asking that all of a sudden, "Yeah...?"

"How about...generally? Are you guys in good shape? Healthy or something?"

"What's wrong?" Johnny asked, changing the topic and wanting to know what happened and Taeyong got so worried.

The boy shrugged, "I just feel...uncomfortable, like something's wrong."

"No one's in a bad condition, right now. You don't need to worry, Yong. Maybe you're just hungry or something," the man said, trying to clear out his friend's mind.

That didn't even work. Taeyong sighed and went to text Jaehyun's aunt, since Jaehyun was actually banned from using any device at the moment. Just to make sure everything is good, he'll ask if they're okay. He hasn't asked if Jaehyun's fine. It's also good to ask how he is sometimes.

Then Taeyong starts telling himself to stop worrying about nothing. Their problems aren't his. But his stubborn self couldn't actually live with that phrase. He decided to be deaf when that comes up to their conversations. He's just born with an overwhelming type of personality.

"I might have to call someone. I'll come back...maybe," Taeyong told Johnny before he stood up and excused himself from the class.
