Step Lovers-JAEYONG

[46]

Jaehyun questionably came to his parents' house since he was called to do so. They said he left something that he might need. They couldn't say it so the man just decided to come over for a second. He still needs to go and check their suits with Taeyong for the party.

He arrived shortly, looking at his watch to see if he still has time to pick up Taeyong for lunch. He didn't bother knocking and just barged into the house. He walked through the tiled hallway and went towards the living room, where he froze as soon as he saw his mother.

"Jaehyunnie!" she exclaimed and smiled widely as soon as she saw her son. She walked up to hug him with her heels clacking against the tile.

Jaehyun was caught by surprise, "You're here?"

"They didn't tell you?"

"They said your flight was cancelled."

She chuckled, "Oh, that's just for show. Surprise! You don't seem to be happy to see your mother."

The man wasn't really happy to see her.

"Do you want to tell me something, mom?"

She hummed, "About what?"

Jaehyun frowned, "About me and Taeyong."

Her smile slowly faded. She immediately glared at the man infront of her. Her eyebrows were arching and her jaws were clenching.

"I don't think I need to tell you anything--"

"You lied to me!"

She crossed her arms, "Why? What did he tell you?"

Jaehyun's hands became fists and tried not to burst out of anger. He wants to give his mother a chance to explain, "The opposite with everything you accused him about."

"That's what he told you? He's lying--"

"Then that makes you not because you say so?"

She squinted her eyes at him, "What makes you think he's not actually lying? Why? Did he make you eat something to confront your mother like this?!"

"I'll believe in him because he doesn't and won't use people to their advantage. Taeyong has always been by my side more than you did! I know him enough! You've always been selfish anyway. Didn't you always love the feeling of being the center of attention?"

The man felt his blood boiling and rising from how much anger he has right now.

Her eyes widened, "Jaehyun! Do you hear yourself?!"

"Yes! And I am perfectly satisfied to say this to you, mom! I want to hear the reason why you had to separate us and tell me lies!"

"You want to know the truth?! Fine! This is why I don't what you to be with him! He's turning you against me! He's no good for you, Jaehyun. Don't you understand that?! He's putting you at risk. Your career, your family, your life...What's left? Taeyong will only use you for his own."

"How well do you know him anyway? For you to judge him like this? You're the one who's keeping me at risk."

"I told you lies so you could stay away from him!"

"You told me lies so I could be miserable! Do you know how many years I've wasted just to be your stupid little puppet?! Mom, you were breaking me! You even put a knife on Taeyong's neck so it would look like he forgot about me?! Do you even realize how manipulative you are?! Now, I understand why dad wanted to divor--"
