"I didn't do anything wrong." Jaehyun's foot taps at the speed of light. He and Johnny were sitting across from each other at the dinner table. Johnny had just confronted him about the shallow text between doyoung and him. "I.."

"Why is he choosing this emoji? There's pieces not adding up." Johnny licks his bottom lip. Slowly he leans down to jaehyun's height, "are you hiding something? I find it odd that you would accuse me all of a sudden. Maybe this was the plan, you would accuse me so you could feel justified in your infidelity?"

Thick and heavy tears fall from Jaehyun's eyes. How could Johnny say this to him? It was an innocent friendly text. "Johnny, I have never cheated on you. I have never given you reasons to feel..."

"But I have!"

"You lied about being gay!" Jaehyun takes a sharp breath. The look of utter surprise on Johnny's face sorta made him feel good. "You lied to me."

Jaehyun wipes his falling tears, "I went to see you when you were in college. I had begged all of my friends and even the professors for your schedule so that I could spend some time with you."

Jaehyun stands up from the table, "that's when I heard you claim to a girl that you were bisexual."

"I don't get why you are bringing this up? You lied about things too. What makes being bisexual so special?" Johnny questions.

"Johnny I was the secret! No one knew about us. When I first started dating you I was in junior in college."

Johnny looks away from jaehyun, he couldn't tell where this was going but he knew it wasn't good.
"Jaehyun sto..."

"I watched you kiss taeyong. I had to sit and stomach you too working out your issues. I remember preparing myself for you, leaving the secret and running with the known."

"You knew."

"I knew you two timed me and taeyong. But I loved you so much that I didn't care. I risked literally the most precious relationship I hold dear to me for you." Jaehyun slams his hands down on the table. "The most saddening thing is that I saw you fall out of love with taeyong. Those signs are happening right n..n..now."

Johnny couldn't believe this. His mouth fell agape, he couldn't register what to do. But when Jaehyun started hyperventilating, wheezing, and shaking, Johnny became superman.

After softly laying Jaehyun down on the couch he raced up the stairs to find his medicine. Johnny knows that's the reason why jaehyun is having the attack right now, it's because he keeps dodging the medication.

As the American searches everywhere for his medicine he recollects what the ghost whisperer says, to him jaehyun would cheat. Maybe just maybe his paranoia is because of what he has done.

After finding the medicine Johnny places a small water bottle in his back pocket before rushes down the stairs. He slows down when he sees Taeyong next to Jaehyun calming him down.

Honestly he wasn't really surprised at this point, taeyong must have supersonic hearing or just that ultimate mother's intuition or something.

Johnny makes his way over to the couch. He slowly lifts up Jaehyun's head before sitting down. "Hi Tae."

"Hi, johnny."

Well this is awkward. The American didn't know taeyong was coming over. More importantly how did this mother fucker get in?

As if taeyong was reading Johnny's mind he said, "remember you gave me an extra key just in case you or Jaehyun was locked out of the house."

Johnny's face crunches up in confusion, "huh? I did?" He scratches the backs of his head while passing Jaehyun his medicine.

Jaehyun looks at Johnny's hand in question. "You aren't giving me this right?"

"Yeah I am." Johnny nudges the pill more into Jaehyun's space. "Take it. You will feel better."

Jaehyun grinds his teeth together. There's no way he is going to take that sleeping pill. Sure he has been staying awake because he really wanted to know if Jackson is alive, but that doesn't mean he needs to take any medication such as that pill. "Did you switch it back to my old medication?"

"Why is that important right now? You're having an attack because you haven't taken your medicine." Johnny pulls out a small water bottle from his back pocket. "If you won't take it willingly, I will force it down your throat."

"That pill is ninety percent Melatonin extract, I will sleep my life away if I take them. I'm sure as hell not taking that." Jaehyun smacks the pill out of Johnny's hand.

The blonde pushes himself up off of the couch. He didn't care that Johnny's and Taeyong's mouths were dropped to the floor. All he cared about was leaving the scene. Jaehyun snatches the water bottle from Johnny's loose grasp and sprints up the stairs.

Johnny is left, baffled to say the least. "Did he really smack that out of my hand?" The American looks up to the midnight haired male, "Taeyong what has gotten into your brother? Has he lost his mind?"

Taeyong just shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know?" He takes a few steps towards Johnny, "why are you trying to put my brother to sleep?"

"Of course you take his side." Johnny smacks his teeth. He really hated this. He has had enough of taeyong treating Jaehyun like a baby, "Let me see you out."

Taeyong walks to the door and opens it. Johnny was close behind him. Johnny grabs the door and holds it open. "Good ni..."

It happened so fast, Johnny couldn't finish his send off before taeyong hand had smacked his left cheek so hard. A little dazed Johnny asked, "what the fuck tae?!"

"You filthy animal! How dare you play with my heart. I'm so happy that I chose Baekhyun!"

Johnny rubs his cheeks. "You heard him say that?" Johnny frowns at Taeyong's saddening face. "Im..."

"You know Johnny, I'm not mad at you. I expected you to be the ultimate snake." Taeyong swallows the thick feeling forming in his throat. "But how could he do that to me? I took care of him and he...."

Taeyong just shakes his head. "I remember during the time we entered back into our dating phase, I left to go work a quick job. While busting my ass to male money just so I didn't have to ask my sister for money, you two were at home hugged up. Probably kissing. He kissed the lips that I kissed. He su..."

"Wait taeyong, I know that it wasn't fair to you. But be mad at me because I forced him to date me. I begged and I made him feel special...."

Taeyong smacks Johnny in his face again. "You can bring a horse to water but you can't make it drink."

"Tae...."

Taeyong walks to his car. Not once did he turn back to wave to jaehyun who saw everything, but couldn't hear a thing.
