"Taeyong said WHAT?" Johnny asked, almost choking on his food

They were currently eating dinner at their apartment and Doyoung had just explained everything that happened the previous night to Johnny. The older was, to say the least, shocked.

Doyoung sighed as he played with the spaghetti on his fork "i just don't know what to do with him"

"well, do you think he's being serious this time?"

"you make it sound so bad!" Doyoung frowned "he was serious before, he was just scared of Seulgi and his dad"

"okay, okay, maybe that's true. but still, do you think he still deserves a chance after all the shit he made you go through?"

Doyoung sighed again. He wasn't even sure about his own feelings.

"gosh, i really don't know what to do. Johnny, you need to help me" he whined and the older rolled his eyes

"honestly? i don't think he deserves you. i mean think about how much he's already hurt you. i think you should move on and find someone who can actually give you what you deserve. love. you need to find someone that actually loves and cares about you more than anything. more than their ex or their dad. but then again, it's not my decision. do whatever you want"Johnny said and Doyoung went silent

Johnny was right. Taeyong had already hurt him so much, why would Doyoung give him another chance?

But at the same time, Doyoung wanted to see if Taeyeong could really give him what he's asking for. If Taeyong could really make him feel loved like a significant other should.

The way Taeyong made him feel right now wasn't helping either. Every time they touched Doyoung got butterflies and he just wanted to feel it more. He wanted Taeyong, so badly. He wanted to have him for only himself.

And that night at the grocery store. God, Doyoung felt like he was in a trance. Taeyong's touch and words excited him.

"earth to Doyoung?" Johnny said, making the younger snap out of his daydreaming "have you made your decision yet?"

"nope... i have to give it some more time"

And so he did.

Days passed and Doyoung could only think about Taeyong. It was even worse because the older was so busy right now, they couldn't even see each other.

One night, Doyoung got a text from him. Then they kept texting each other until like 4am and Doyoung fell asleep with his phone in his hand.

March 6th

"i have to go, Johnny, or i'll be late!" Doyoung said and the older whined childishly

"ugh, why do you have to work?"

"oh my god, you're stupid" Doyoung said and chuckled "but i don't have work tomorrow, let's do something fun then"

Johnny raised an eyebrow "really? okay, then. have a good night~"

Doyoung smiled at him before leaving the apartment. He had a night shift again and to be honest, he was tired.

He hadn't seen Taeyong in a week now but it felt like it'd been so much longer. He just wanted to talk to him. Face to face.

11pm

"here's your receipt, have a great night" Doyoung smiled at the young woman who thanked him before leaving

There had been more customers than usual. Well, maybe because it was a saturday night. Everyone probably had plans with their friends or partners. Doyoung felt like a loser. Working alone in this tiny store while others were having fun.

Suddenly a head peeked behind one of the shelves. Doyoung couldn't help but smile when he saw Taeyong grinning at him.

"did she left?" Taeyong whisper-shouted, meaning the woman from before

Doyoung chuckled as he went to Taeyong "yeah, it's just us now"

"good, that's what i wanted" Taeyong said before gently pushing Doyoung against the shelf and trapping him between his arms "i missed you"

"i missed you too"

Taeyong smirked before leaning in to kiss Doyoung. The younger smiled into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Taeyong's neck.

"i actually didn't come here just to make out with you" Taeyong said and licked his lips "have you thought about what i said?"

"y-yeah, a lot, actually. you've been on my mind this whole week" Doyoung said and Taeyong just hummed while running his hands up and down the younger's waist "i just want to know something"

"yeah?"

Doyoung gulped "if we... you know uh, start dating-"

"Doyoung" Taeyong lifted his chin up to make the younger look at him "why are you being so nervous? you know you can be comfortable and honest with me, right?"

"yeah, i know. this situation is just kinda new to me so i don't really know what to say. sorry"

Taeyong chuckled "don't apologize. you're cute"

"oh my god, don't distract me!" Doyoung said and slapped Taeyong's arm playfully "i still haven't told you what i'm thinking right now. you don't even know if i like you or not"

"pfft, i think it's pretty obvious you do. you're literally blushing right now"

Doyoung rolled his eyes "shut up"

"okay, i'm listening to you. now tell me what you wanted to" Taeyong said and the latter took a deep breath

"gosh, this is gonna take a while. you sure you can focus?"

The older snickered "i'll try my best for you"
