Step Lovers-JAEYONG

[47]

Taeyong had their work postponed today because of a big press conference being held there. They were able to have a small break so he's only in his apartment right now. He doesn't have anything else to do other than eat and sleep. Jaehyun must be busy and he doesn't want disturb him with calls and texts.

He looked through his social media while eating ice cream early in the morning. He should maybe go out and shop for groceries. Well, he's still lazy about it so might as well do it later.

He never thought scrolling through social media was as boring as it could be, or is he just aging? The boy finds a funny post, chuckle about it, then moves on. Nothing really makes him excited.

He misses Jaehyun already.

Then he heard someone knocking on his door. Taeyong looked at its direction. He stood from his couch and went to see who it was. The boy cautiously opened it and had himself surprised with the person behind his door.

"What are you doing here?" Taeyong asked, fully opening his apartment door.

Jaehyun shrugged, "I don't like it there...Welcoming me in would be nice too, sweetheart."

The boy rolled his eyes playfully before he stood back to welcome his boyfriend in. Once he was inside, Taeyong shuts the door and went back to his couch. Jaehyun looked around. It is his first time coming in. The last time he visited was when Taeyong was drunk. Luckily, he just remembers the places he's been.

"Lovely, then baby, then sweetheart...What's next?" Taeyong said, sarcastically listing down every endearment Jaehyun calls him.

Jaehyun chuckled, "Hubby."

Taeyong blushed madly at it but hid it anyway. He almost got flustered from it. His heart just jumped and his mind was all over the place.

"Wouldn't your mother get mad?" the boy asked.

"I called in sick. I don't want to face her anyway," Jaehyun fell and sat beside Taeyong.

Taeyong nodded, "So, you decided to lazy around here in my place?"

The man looked back at him and smiled, "Actually, no. I was going to ask you if you want to go out with me."

"A date?"

"Yeah. We haven't had our own time together, other than window shopping the other day."

The boy hummed then he stood to walk into his bedroom to start changing, "Where to?"

"Wherever you want."

Taeyong rummaged through his closet and grabbed something that's easy to wear. He removed his house clothing and wore new ones. He walks out and saw Jaehyun laying on his couch, checking his phone. He looked really domestic. The boy walked towards him and laid on top of the man, hugging him.

"Where do you want to go?" Jaehyun asked again, placing a hand on Taeyong's back, and still on his phone. He's looking up places where they could go.

"I don't really know where," Taeyong answered.

The man took a few seconds before he hummed, "Tulip garden. We can go to a tulip garden. Just nearby."

"Okay! That'll be great!"

Both of them got up and wore masks to atleast cover up their identity. Media must be snooping around and at this point, they can release some scandals to ruin the family's company. It was Jaehyun's least worry anyway.

They drove for a few minutes until they arrived. They even almost got lost just because the place was a little hidden. Both of them walked into it and Taeyong felt like he was in a paradise. It looked wonderful and nature-based. Flowers were everywhere, lake, even a waterfall was there. The boy started taking pictures of the place.

"This is great, doesn't it?" Jaehyun asked.

"Yeah! Here, stand there."

The man furrowed his eyebrows, "I don't want to!"

"Why are you being such a baby? Stand there!" the boy nagged, "You've been in magazine covers but you can't even let your boyfriend take a picture of you."

Jaehyun thought he has a point. He just went where Taeyong wanted him to be and lets him take pictures. The boy looked happy so he lets him anyway. He likes seeing Taeyong so giddy.

Taeyong asked Jaehyun to take him pictures as well. The man was just being a supportive boyfriend anyway. They had a good time walking around and taking pictures of each other. They don't have any plans on posting these, so it'll just rot in their phones. Jaehyun would make it as his wallpaper though.

They were hand in hand. No one knows them anyway. It felt very nice that they're able to show their affection publicly. It must've been felt great if they don't have to worry about medias creating issues against them, especially Jaehyun. Taeyong would want a day like that.

"You want to eat somewhere?"

Taeyong shrugged, "Any where's nice. I'm not really that picky. You're the one who's picky."

"Money should go to delicious food, Taeyong."

The boy chuckled at his words.

"Oh, do you want me to a picture of you there?" Jaehyun pointed by the bridge, then pulled the boy towards who agreed.

Taeyong stood where he thought looks nice but when he looked back Jaehyun, he immediately became hesitant. He'll get wet by the waterfall if he needs to take a nice shot.

"You'll get wet though! Stop moving backwards," Taeyong uttered.

The man's eyes smiled, "Don't worry about it. Be cute for me."

As soon Jaehyun took a picture of him, Taeyong immediately went to see if he got wet. A little splatter was here and there but nothing much really happened. If he gets sick on the day for the party, it'll be a big problem.

"You know, this is my first time to finally have some peace of mind," Jaehyun uttered while they walk along the bridge.

"You are a very busy person, Jae."

"It's different. I feel very light. I feel very glad that we decided to talk that day. Although, things just escalated quickly after that...I couldn't wish anything more now that you're here with me."

Taeyong smiled inside his mask, "I'm happy that you feel that way. My heart is contented with you too."

Jaehyun wrapped an arm around the boy's shoulder and leaned closer to his boyfriend, "I hope things will go well soon."

"It will, sooner or later."
