Tall Midget - TaePyo fanfic (boyxboy)

~ 8 ~

I quickly spoke to Taeil and told him about Jiho's condition, and he was really glad to hear that he was okay.

As I entered the room after ending the call, I saw Jiho in a state of shock.
"Jiho?" I asked in a shaken tone, uncertain if he could actually hear me, let alone see me.
"Y-yeah?" He replied, his soft brown eyes looking at me with sorrow.

"Are you okay?" I asked, taking his hand once again.
"I'm fine." He said bluntly, but smiling.
"You don't seem fine," I ruffled my hair with my free hand, "Are you sure you're okay?" I asked again.

"Yes, I'm fine. I just had a bad flashback that's all." He said, looking down.
I then remembered what he told me before and felt guilt brew.
I looked up at him and then said a heat filled sorry to him.

"It's okay, just don't do it again." He said.
"I won't." I replied, smiling softly at him.

A few moments later, a tall dark haired doctor came in and told us that Jiho was able to go, except he's not allowed to up or down stairs anymore.
I nodded at the doctor, thanking him, and agreeing with him.

"Well, when we get back to my place, you can stay in my room, it's downstairs." I offered, helping Jiho up from the bed.
"Thank you so much Pyo." Jiho said with a soft voice.

I felt a sudden pain of deceit as I realised how much I've been with Jiho, and not the one I really love; Taeil.
Thoughts washed over me and I tried to reconsider what I were to do, but there is not another option at the moment.

I drove Jiho to my apartment and helped him out of the car, one hand supporting his arm, and the other on his back.
I supported him, then took him through the door and into my room, letting him sit on the soft bed.

"You must be tired, have a sleep." I said, taking his crutches.
"Yeah, also, could I borrow a shirt?" He asked, trying to stand up.
"Yah! Don't stand up!" I sighed.
"I'll dress you."

I pulled Jiho's dirty shirt over his head and dropped it on the floor.
He suddenly turned around, then I saw something I didn't expect.
I saw a burn scar, running from the nape of his neck, down to the start of his butt.
The scar was thick and it looked like it was very painful before it healed.

"What happened?" I quietly asked, making Jiho turn back around.
"Oh...." He mumbled.
"Well...... When I was 11, my house caught on fire and some burning wood fell on my back, that's how I got these scars, (Lmao Joker), and...... That's also how my dad died...." He explained, mumbling the last part.

After hearing what I just did, all I could do was cry. That is so sad....... And to happen to such a nice person too.
"I'm fine now though. You can stop crying." He said.
But I couldn't stop crying. I fell to my knees on the bed and embraced Jiho.
"I'm so sorry!" I whined through my tears.
"It's okay Pyo, I'm still here aren't I?" He said in a soothing voice.
"But still! Why would that happen to such a beautiful person?" I asked him.

I could tell that he was taken aback from that last comment as he pulled away from me and looked at me.
"Thank you Pyo......" He said softly.

I looked at his chocolate eyes before his plump lips then thought of what kissing him felt like.
I leaned in, getting even more aroused to kiss him, but I stopped myself as I had a thought. 

"You know, you should live with my friend Kyung. He's really caring and I'm sure you'd like him a lot." I said, standing up.
"Oh really?" He said.

I quickly threw him a shirt as he was still shirtless and then took my phone out and rang Kyung.
"Ne Kyung, are you busy? Okay great. Do you still have a spare room? Okay. Fantastic." I said, then put the phone down and looked at Jiho.

"He's coming in 10 minutes to meet you, he sounds very excited." I said, smiling.
"Wait, what's his name?" He asked.
"Park Kyung." I replied.

Suddenly I saw his face flush red, "You know him?" I asked.
"Yeah...... We were friends in high school......" He mumbled.
"Even better!" I exclaimed, clasping my hands together.

Minutes past, and Kyung finally came.
A knock at the door, a greeting from me, and Kyung came through the door to Jiho.
"J-Jiho!?" Kyung yelled.
"I'm as surprised as you are." Jiho said.

"It's so good to see you again, well not in the condition of course, but you know what I mean!" Kyung said, smiling from ear to ear.
"Looks like you two are very familiar with each other, so I'll let you sort yourselves out and move out, but I have to go right now. So I'll text you two okay? Stay safe Jiho." I said, heading out of my place, back to my car.

I felt so much better as Jiho would have someone with him, and someone he knows.
I then started thinking about all the things I have to do with Taeil and quickly drove to his place.

As I was about to knock on the door, I heard faint moans coming from the front room.
I peeped through the window and saw Jaehyo and Taeil getting it on.
My jaw dropped to the ground and I felt a sharp pain stabbing my chest, lungs, heart and everything within me.

I thought about how Jaehyo was Taeil's boss, and how they could actually be doing that, right in front of me. Tears came to my eyes, but I refused them to come out.

I then pounded my fist on the door, being greeted with a flustered Taeil.
"How long?" I bluntly asked.
