Step Lovers-JAEYONG

[38]

The next day, Taeyong groaned when he woke up. His head was pounding and it felt really heavy. He knew he drank so much last night that he quietly scolded himself for it. Just because he saw Jaehyun with a woman doesn't mean he should make a fuss out of it.

He looked around his room with the blinds still closed and him half-naked under the covers. His eyes widened and thought he brought someone home but when he heard his bedroom door opened, he looked at the direction and saw Doyoung.

"I was about to wake you up," the man said, bringing him hot coffee to soothe the boy's headache.

Taeyong sighed, "I'm so sorry about last night," he clicked his tongue, "I promise not to drink anymore," before he takes a sip on the warm drink.

Doyoung shrugged, "Couldn't be help. Here's the coffee. Do you want to take pain relievers?"

"No, I'm fine...I'm really sorry, Doie."

His boyfriend just kissed him, slowly and intimately, which was something that surprised the boy. Normally, Doyoung would just take a small peck since he is a timid person to begin with. The man eventually pulled away and saw the boy looking back at him.

"What?"

"Is something troubling you?" Taeyong asked.

Doyoung was taken aback before he chuckled, "Why did you ask that?"

"Nothing. I just...had the feeling."

"You're just overthinking."

The man to place a peck on the boy's lips and shoulder before he stood and told him he already cooked breakfast. Taeyong nodded, telling him he'll catch up.

Why did it feel like something else happened?

Later, that afternoon, someone went to Taeyong's apartment to return his phone. Thankfully, it was alright. He checked if he has anything he missed other than the hundreds of missed calls from Doyoung. As he scrolled down, he stopped upon a notification from an unknown number.

Then he remembered, he used Jaehyun's phone to call his phone. He repeatedly looked at the unknown number, thinking if he should save it.

Should I? For what reason?

Even though he asked himself that question, he saved the number anyway, under the caller ID 'Jae'.

Then he jolted when someone messaged him. His eyes widened.

Jae:
were you able to get your phone?

Taeyong hid his smile as he replies. When he did, he was surprised to hear someone call him from behind.

"Yong, who was that?" Doyoung asked as he comes out of the bathroom.

"Oh, just someone who brought my phone back. I saw your missed calls, by the way."

"I was worried!"

Taeyong chuckled as he walked towards the couch to take a seat. Then he went over to check his emails in his phone. Doyoung sat beside him, placing a hand on the boy's thigh to catch his attention.

"Are we still going to our dinner date later?" Doyoung asked.

"Of course! Why? Do you have other plans today?" Taeyong asked back.

"I was about to ask you if you have any plans today."

"I don't. I'm all free for you today," the boy giggled a bit.
