CHAPTER-2

HIS JAEMINNIE

"I'm so sorry son. It's my fault. It's all my fault. I should've have stopped your dad years ago."

Watching his own mother sobbing heavily in his chest, Jaemin got harder to tame back his tears. But he prepared himself to be stronger than that. At least he needed to be strong.

"Mom. Don't worry about it. It's all sorted out now. Don't worry. Like I've planned for you and dad, please stay in Tokyo for a little bit hm? My friend Shotaro and his brother, Yuta hyung are willing to help you guys settle down when I'm not there. "

Jaemin offered a warm smile at his mother as she embraced him even tighter.

"How is a mother supposed to leave her child in a pile of struggles? How am I a mother if I run away and leave you to solve our problems?" She cried out loud.

He saw his dad not too far away from them, turning his back to them and blankly staring at the tall, glass windows of the airport. He could sense his heavy guilt and uneasiness to confront Jaemin.

"Mom, don't think it this way. I'm fine with this. He..He'll get bored of me in a few years or so..When the time comes, I'll ask for a divorce and come to live with you. I promise. For now...please mom, please do as I say. That way, I'll not be worried. "

His comforting smile was layered on the broken heart. Jaemin truely was exhausted but he was willing to carry the struggles alone.

All he could do was to embrace both of his parents before the departure and rest assured them that he will be okay.

Actually, Jaemin was guilty of everything that had happened. He was the one who got involved with Jeno. Therefore, it was only right for him to settle this down himself.

__

A moderately old but a familiar warmth of this house was a blanket of love and hatred for Jeno.

This was the place where he grew up without worries. This was the same place his parents left him before his eyes.

Memories lingered like a string of hope but in reality, he was just holding onto so much hatred. The vengeful plan bloomed into a path full of thorn for himself and most importantly, his love.

He still couldn't forget about the pair of broken and hurtful eyes staring at him. The worst part was how Jaemin was begging to hurt him instead, willingly asking Jeno to use his feelings against him because that would destroy him but keep his family safe.

Jaemin really was suffering for things he had never done. All he did was...fell in love.

"Jeno-ssi, if you like me you should tell me you know? It must be hard to keep feelings to yourself and feel insecure about it alone."

Jeno turned his face to the boy who had a soft smile and watching him back.

"Because I like you Jeno-ssi. I don't know how to confess because this is my first time doing it." He scratched his head but he hung onto his wide smile.

"It's hard to keep feelings to myself and then feel insecure about it alone. I mean..look at you, you are so perfect to me that I can't help feeling like that. So..if you allow me, I have so much love to share to you."
