Step Lovers-JAEYONG

[2]

Taeyong took a second before he pushed himself away in a panic mode. His face turned red and looked away from Jaehyun with a very flustered expression. His heart was beating so fast that it's about to explode. He doesn't know what to do, he just wants to disappear right now. His mind is all over the place so he couldn't think straight.

Jaehyun just watched the older, finding it quite funny. Unconsciously, he gave out a soft chuckle which caught Taeyong's attention.

"You're embarrassing me..." the boy whined and covered his face with his face, "I-I'm sorry about that."

"You're sorry about what? I was the one who initiated it," the younger said, smiling innocently which made Taeyong so confused.

The boy swallowed the saliva blocking his throat, "But why...?"

Jaehyun was just looking straight at him then shrugged, "I like you for a few years now. We're just brothers by papers, hyung."

Taeyong sighed loudly, "Jae, your mother still expects us to treat each other like brothers."

"But I don't want to."

"Such a stubborn kid."

"Hyung, I'm not a kid. I'm just two years younger than you," the younger folds his arms and leans back on his backrest.

Taeyong stared at Jaehyun, "Just to make things clear between us...I like you too."

The younger smiled widely, "You're complaining about us being "brothers" because you like me back?"

Taeyong rolled his eyes, "I blame you for making me not straight."

"Hyung, that's not right to put the blame on me."

"It all started because of you!" the boy's voice gradually lowered, "On the serious note, Jaehyun, we can't let your mother know about this."

"Yet."

Taeyong furrowed his eyebrows, "Yet?"

Jaehyun moved closer, teasingly, making the boy to lean back a bit, "There will be a right time for everything, hyung."

"Why are we talking about this already? We aren't...a thing, Jaehyun."

"We can--"

"No," the boy said, "I-It doesn't mean I don't want to...You're young and I am to. I'm still confused a-and maybe you are too. Things can change too."

Jaehyun gently grabbed Taeyong's hand, softly running his thumb over the soft skin, "I am certain that you'll be my first and last."

The boy didn't pull his hand away but felt his heart fluttered with the younger's words. Everything suddenly felt so right but at the same time, very wrongly. Taeyong's thoughts were all over the place that could a reason why he'll be having a headache later.

"Okay, here's a deal. When I turn 21, be my boyfriend."

Taeyong smiled softly, "If your feelings won't change and things will be different, then I will."
