"hey." junho said when taecyeon came back home.

"hey." taecyeon replied, looking a bit down.

"is everything alright?" he asked taecyeon, worried.

"yeah." taecyeon lied. "i'm fine."

junho knew he wasn't fine at all, but he didn't want to force taecyeon to tell him what was wrong. so he nodded and said, "i've made dinner."

"thanks, but i don't wanna eat dinner." taecyeon said. "have you eaten?"

"yeah." junho said. "why don't you wanna eat dinner? i've made your favorite, roast beef with some beans and some strips of bacon."

"thats sounds nice." taecyeon said. "but i'm not really in the mood for eating. i'll eat later."

junho sighed and came forward to taecyeon. he took taecyeon's hand and slid his fingers into taecyeon's. taecyeon stepped back a bit, and junho took one step forward.

"taecyeon." junho said softly, almost in a whisper.

"please tell me whats wrong. maybe i can help you. just tell me whats wrong. you can trust me." junho said.

taecyeon smiled sadly and pulled his hands away from junho's.

"i know i can junho. but...." he sighed, trying to fight the sense of grief stirring inside him.

"i need to take a rest." he said. "see you soon."

junho watched as taecyeon went to his room, a small frown plastered on his face. this only meant that taecyeon didn't trust junho enough to share his problems with him. junho racked his brains and tried to think of a time when he had offended taecyeon. as far as he could remember, he never did.

taecyeon locked the door of his bedroom, then flopped down on the bed. he took off his shirt and laid down, closing his eyes.

"its either him or junho."  taecyeon whispered softly to himself. 

"i can only choose one."
