unwanted encounters..

"it was going well doyoung! why did he have to walk through that door?" taeyong's breath came out in short quick pants, adrenaline coursing through his veins and unable to stop his pacing. doyoung watched in his spot on the bench, eyes following the older's quick walking figure.

30 MINUTES BEFORE...

the door to the diner jingled open and a bushel of vibrant red hair appeared followed by a pretty chiseled face. slinder legs walking up to the counter and sitting on one of the cushioned blue chairs. the male glanced around the establisment, dark hazel orbs landing on the bright red haired boy seated in the booth with doyoung. a sinsiter smirk befell heart shaped lips, turning back towards the counter.

that was enough to cause a shiver to flow down taeyong's spine, eyes quickly diverting back down to the plain marbled table. already feeling the slow, but quickly rising, pitter patter of his heart in his chest.

doyoung looked on confused, eyebrows scrunched together and gazing around to see what could have killed the older's smile so quickly. the sandy red hair sticking out like a sore thumb in the crowd, peering closer at the face and finally recognizing who it could be.

none other than mark lee, the all rounder, superstar at their school. and.. taeyong's ex. the two never ended on good terms. this being, well, the male now scrounged down in the booth seat caught mark doing some 'not so holy' things in the locker room with not one, but two of his teammates. no shocker there, the other was known to be a player all over school. even teachers, as digusting as it is, fawned over the annoyingly handsome boy.

but that was the least of doyoung's worries, right now he was more concerned on still having a good outing with his best friend. snapping slender fingers in front of taeyong's face to bring him back down to earth. "how about.. we get our food to go? go sit at that field you like and talk about any and everything?" doyoung shown a small smile and taeyong gave an awkward, almost forced one in return. nodding his head simply in return to the other's words.

"good, go wait out in the car for me? i'll give you the keys so you can turn on the air," doyoung did just that before he slid out of the booth and went up to request that their order be to instead. apologizing to the waitress in advance and paying her a tip along for the meal.

taeyong wasted no time while the younger did so, keeping his head down and rushing towards the door. not before his name could be called out in a mocking tone.

chancing a glance to see jaehyun smirking smugly at him, nodding his head in the direction of mark. "running away as always, huh?" obvious teasing clear in that gruff voice. a laugh coming from the counter causing taeyong to whip around in that direction, seeing that very person smiling at him.

"don't run baby, i can always make it up to you," mark's lips formed a playful pout. speaking as if a parent trying to coddle a child who got hurt.

tears build up in the male's eye, running out the door in a flash before they could see how easily they got to him. an exasperated doyoung following soon after, making sure to shoot glares at the laughing assholes.

catching up to the red head who made it to the car, fumbling with the keys as he wanted to just get away. shaking body being encased in strong, slender arms, trying to ground the slightly panicking older.

"shh.. shh, they can't get you taeyong, i'm here with you.." doyoung's voice murmured into his ear. squeezing him close, frowning at the quick rising and falling of his chest. continuing to mumble little nothing's until taeyong calmed down where they stood in the parking lot.

PRESENT TIME...

now here they sat in the park, the food doyoung had gone back to grab before they left now completely forgotten on the bench beside him. watching taeyong work himself up again over seeing one of the few people he despises.

though he understood, doyoung just wished the older had it in him to drown out those idiots and just enjoy their time together. yet couldn't bring himself to interrupt taeyong's banter.

who suddenly stopped in his steps, body slowly turning to face the blue haired male. sadness ridden on his face and a frown on the beautifully chapped red lips.

"i'm.. i'm sorry i ruined our time together," the words came out almost hushed and doyoung immediately stood gripping his shoulders; not roughly but enough to make taeyong jump and gaze up at him.

"the last thing i would want is for you to think you did anything wrong yongie, you can't control the way others act. nothing's wrong, we can still enjoy our cold food and day away from school," doyoung said with a reassuring smile. earning a slow nod from the shorter male.

and with that they did, doyoung finding a blanket luckily in his trunk. the two settling on top of it in a big empty field near the park. enjoying the food with simple conversation and reminiscing their old middle school memories.
