Step Lovers-JAEYONG

[3]

The years that passed felt like it was just a few months ago. Every thing was different and definitely with a lonelier feeling, although they got used to it. There were times that they thought if things were different, then they wouldn't be as though they are suffering. They weren't given a chance, a proper reason behind.

Taeyong dealt with everything just to earn his foster mother's trust again. He spent his days studying, distracting himself as much as possible. He assisted his mother in their real estate company and tried to become independent as well. Although he didn't always try to become a 'good son,' he would also take his time to breathe and write letters.

He wasted most of his time with writing unsent letters, for Jaehyun. They would ever met again, he'll personal give it to him. Hopefully, he didn't forget about him.

Taeyong would always smile at the thought of seeing Jaehyun again, almost after a decade. Surely, he's a grown man now but despite that, he would always be a playful person. He'll be the same Jaehyun and Taeyong told to himself, if he's able to finish college, he'll be standing up on his own. He'll cut his ties with the Jungs, and start living up to his family's name, Lee.

His foster parents allowed him to, but will still consider him as family. Now that he's working at the Jung's real estate company, as a supervisor in the Human Resource department, he's still close to his mother and father.

"Taeyong, Mr. Kim is here," Jungwoo called.

The boy nodded and thanked him, grabbing his wallet and phone with him before he excuses himself for the break time. Taeyong smiled as he walked towards the man who's waiting for him outside of their office.

"Hey," the boy greeted.

The man leaned and pecked on his lips, intertwining his fingers around Taeyong's, "Let's go. We'll just have a short lunch since I'll be having a meeting with someone shortly."

"You don't have to come here every time. You can just text me then I'll meet you on the ground floor or something," Taeyong said as they walked into the elevator.

"Why? I want to be a good boyfriend."

"You're Kim Doyoung if you forgot. Press would be all over you."

Doyoung chuckled, "Ah, what's wrong with having a headline with you? Let them be."

Taeyong frowned, "You aren't usually this confident. What's with you?"

"What do you mean? I'm always like this."

They soon got out of the elevator and walked towards the car. They stepped in and drove away, arriving at a small restaurant they usually hang out in.

About their relationship. Taeyong and Doyoung met at a party because of mutual friends. Doyoung eventually liked him and asked Taeyong if he could court him. At that time, the boy was very hesitant. He sees the other as his friend...and nothing more. Although the guy was very persistent, so Taeyong just thought to give them a try. Of course Jaehyun came into his mind, although, he was afraid about waiting for nothing so here he is.

"So, have you thought about your decision on transferring to our company?" Doyoung asked, looking at the menu he has in his hands.

Taeyong furrowed his eyebrows, dropping the menu down and sighed loudly, "Doyoung, we talked about this..."

"Think about it. I already gave you enough details for your benefits, your potential salary, your position...I won't make you do much work too--"
