Chapter 7:

Realization is a Beautiful Thing.

***

It has been 2 days since Taeil refused to talk to Doyoung. He doesn't wake up for breakfast and he sleeps on his side of the bed, playing rock whenever Doyoung wants to pull him into a hug or ask a question about what actually went wrong.

Doyoung still couldn't understand what went wrong for Taeil to suddenly refuse to go out with him when he already cleared his schedule for him. Taeil won't even look into his eyes, won't talk about it at all. Doyoung was worried if he did say something wrong.

Or was Taeil angry because Doyoung sat in the front row of Sung Sikyung showcase? If that is the case, Taeil should just tell him. Doyoung literally recorded the title track for Taeil - because he knows it will be one of Taeil's favourite songs.

Doyoung answered the call from the owner of the restaurant he ordered food at, he was on his way to Taeil's studio. The only way to fight Taeil stubbornness is with Doyoung stubbornness. He had known Taeil for years and he can't stand Taeil being upset at him and he doesn't know why. Doyoung needs to know what he had done wrong so he can fix it.

Stepping out of the taxi after paying, he saw the delivery man is on his way to Taeil's studio. He helped him carry a few orders and he walked to Taeil's studio with a smile but he was seriously nervous. What if Taeil still refused to talk to him? What if Taeil gets even mad?

It was around 7 p.m. when he walked inside the studio and all eyes were on him. There wasn't a lot of students, Taeil had mentioned to him that there is not a lot of student on weekdays. Wendy was eyeing him in surprise.

There were around 10 students in the studio, yes, Doyoung counted because he was so nervous.

"Doyoung," Wendy greeted. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I bought food for everyone. It's my first time visiting isn't it?" he asked, voice clearly shaky.

"Who is that?" one of the students whispered to Wendy, Doyoung heard it because he was so nervous for whatever reason.

"Taeil teacher's husband," Wendy replied as he walked to Doyoung, helping with the food. Clearing one of the tables to put the food on.

"Taeil is in his office," Wendy said.

Doyoung nodded, looked to the student side with a big smile on his face, "I am here to treat everyone a meal. It's my first time visiting, I am Taeil's husband by the way."

Everyone started clapping and left their seat to get the food Doyoung bought for them. Everyone started asking Doyoung questions and Doyoung gladly answer all of them. At that time Taeil stepped out of his office because of the commotion, and he was shocked seeing Doyoung was standing while talking. Everyone is paying attention to him.

"Taeil," Wendy called him and pointed at the table full of food.

"My husband," Doyoung said, pulling Taeil to his side.

"What are you doing?" Taeil asked with his lips closed tight.

"Please take care of Taeil," Doyoung bowed. Taeil chuckled, so cringe and unnecessary. But cute. He thought.

When all the students focus more on the food and ignored Doyoung and Taeil's existence, Doyoung finally tried to find Taeil's pellucid eyes. He had missed those eyes, the honest eyes. Surprisingly, Taeil didn't pull away and let Doyoung stare at his eyes, trying to find the answer he wanted.
