hot and cold - nct, jaedo

♨ 28 ❄

"what is taeyong doing here?" jaehyun asked as soon as he caught a glimpse of his best friend with his boyfriend's best friend and his ex-boyfriend.

"he has a few things to tell you." sicheng said. "and doyoung too."

jaehyun raised a brow, taking his boyfriend's hand in his and approaching the three other males.

"is this serious?" he asked, looking directly at taeyong.

the demon shyly looked at his ex-boyfriend, nodding slowly.

"well, well, well..." yuta clapped his hands once.

"yuta and i have a date planned, so, we need to leave!" sicheng announced.

"it was a pleasure to see you!" yuta added.

"bye!"

the two hyperactive lovers disappeared of the room, leaving a cold atmosphere behind, despite the two demons warming up the temperature of the room.

"they mentioned that you had something to say?" jaehyun asked after a while, looking down on taeyong.

the demon that used to be his best friend broke down in front of the heirs, surprising both of them.

he told them everything that had happened to him.

all his miseries...

the way his family wanted the power.

the way his father forced him to do things he didn't want.

the way he was starved.

the way he had been mistreated.

the way his family had thrown him out.

the way he had lived clandestinely.

the way someone had finally come to help him.

his story was miserable.

his sobs were swallowing some of his words.

his hands were shaking at the thoughts of the past.

he looked as miserable as his story.

and as much as doyoung and jaehyun didn't want to believe his words, they couldn't help but trust him for once.

the boy was broken to the core, and trying to collect the pieces of his sanity to recreate himself. but it was something hard to do for him.

"taeyong..." doyoung spoke, kneeling down next to the demon that had fallen to his knees in the process of telling his horrible story.

the demon continued sobbing, barely lifting his head to face doyoung.

the human heir decided to place a comforting hand on the boy's shoulder, which caught his attention for good.

"taeyong, i'm very sorry that all those horrible things happened to you. i know that no sorry will heal all those wounds, but you have to know that what you lived isn't normal." doyoung spoke clearly, trying to reassure the demon the best he could.

taeyong nodded, biting his bottom lip to prevent any other sob to escape his mouth.

"i haven't been very kind with you, taeyong." jaehyun said. "i didn't know the background of the story was like this. but now that i know, i promise that justice will be made. your family will get arrested for mistreatment of their children."
