When My World Falls-JAEYONG

"I feel like dreaming."

Johnny chuckled, "You sure you weren't making up the story?"

"No! He literally confessed to me, but it really felt like a dream. Like I've gone deaf or something," Taeyong uttered, while they were watching the soccer game.

"So, you guys are a thing now?"

"That's the trend? When both of you just confessed and liked each other?"

The man shrugged, "Kids these days think like that."

The boy hummed but shook his head, "I don't think he's ready, and I think I'm not either. We're not in a hurry anyway. I want him to prioritize himself."

"Ah, a wholesome couple."

Taeyong laughed, "I don't mind not being to be in a relationship right now with him. If I finished college and he's well, we can be together, if he wants to."

"You haven't formally introduced him to us, by the way," Johnny said.

"He doesn't like noisy people."

"Come on, am I that noisy and intimidating?"

Taeyong looked at him, "Yeah...?"

"That's nonsense."

"I'll let you know if he wants to meet you guys."

The man groaned, "But have you told your family?"

The boy smiled and nodded at him, "Yeah. They're kind of okay with it. I mean, it's still a thing that could be healthy or unhealthy to a certain point. Maybe that's also why we decided to stay together as motivations for each other."

"Uh-huh, that could be right. But dates are nice," Johnny said.

"Yeah, I heard that. Mom told me we can date, as therapy for him," Taeyong commented.

"But you're going to do all the effort."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm fine doing all the efforts for him."

Johnny stared at him, confusingly, which made Taeyong to look back with furrowed eyebrows.

"You're too whipped."

The boy rolled his eyes at him, "Tell me you're not with Ten and I'll buy you anything."

The man felt defeated and didn't answer him. Taeyong just chuckled and watched the game. He won't be visiting Jaehyun today, though. He and his aunt went out to practice independence and get Jaehyun feel familiar around their place. Maybe he could visit after shift, though he does still have a portfolio to do.

He'll just try and see.

It was a busy day in the clinic. Taeil actually made Taeyong to take some clients, although he was still there to guide the younger. It would be much better if he lets Taeyong literally work and make some experience. The boy had fun but he got tired from it. Nevertheless, he likes the busy job.
