Perhaps It Was Fate [taetenfanfiction/inprogress]

First Day Is Not Okay

"There's no way I am going to sleep at the same bed as yours."

"It's my bed anyway."

"I am taking the damn bed."

"Sure, I'd like to see you try."

Ten bit his lip in annoyance and clenches his fists while he sat at the sofa and across him was the spoiled bastard who apparently is putting his luggage and other miscellaneous at the single motherfucking master bedroom. He thought the idea of putting Taeyong under him was a good idea. He planned things to make the bastard suffer in such marvelous ways until Jaehyun took them at the luxurious mansion-like two storey house, only to realize that the two were going to share one single goddamn room.

Jaehyun, who is helping Taeyong with his things, met his eyes and paused. "Ten?" He asks solemnly. Ten stood up from his seat and walks over to Jaehyun, taking his arm and pulls him downstairs to the kitchen.

"Whoa, Ten. What is it?"

"Can we choose some other place? Or maybe order another bed? Can we, please?" Ten runs his mouth quickly in a hushed whispering.

Jaehyun tilts his head slightly and shrugs. "I don't think that's possible. This is what Mr. Lee wanted and I can't just do things without his permission. You know how things would work.." Jaehyun starts to blabber and Ten sighed heavily as he rub his fingers on his forehead. He never imagined nor expected the day that things wouldn't work the way he wanted them to. For the past few weeks after hearing that he was given an opportunity to sabotage the bastard, he listed things to play with him. Now looking back at the memory only makes him cringe and regretful and wished he refused the offer.

"Okay, okay. Shut up, I get it." Ten says with his hands raised,  stopping Jaehyun midway from his speech and leaving him with his jaw slightly open in a form of oh.

Jaehyun then closes his mouth that curled into a smile. "It's okay. He can't do anything against you especially with the contract around to keep him from doing you any harm." he says reassuringly and Ten, at least feels grateful that everyone's aware of Taeyong's violent side that makes him pray that he would never encounter that type of Taeyong during their days together.

The memory from the club still frightens him though. The way he clenched his shirt tightly that felt like he is ready rip it apart and the way how whispered at him still sends chill down to his spine. Taeyong is not like anyone else. He is not the typical delinquent that he have encountered in highschool but rather, a delinquent who fears almost nothing and do things the way he wants to but ironically decided to live his life on how people wanted his life to be.

"Cheer up, Ten." Jaehyun says, bringing Ten back to reality as he held his hands with his larger ones. Jaehyun's hands were soft despite of working hard, and writing most of the time and the way how he held his hands felt warm and Ten felt comfort under his grip. He looks at Jaehyun who is smiling at him warmly and Ten just wanted to hug Jaehyun for taking care of him from time to time, especially the fact that he feels so lonely being an outsider in a foreign country.

"Jaehyun." says a voice, coldly and loud and Ten looked back and sees Taeyong, who again, decided to ruin his moment.

Jaehyun looks at Taeyong and loosens his grip from Ten and he wished he didn't let go. "Alright, coming."

...

"So.. basically, you and Ten are living under the same roof." Yuta says with his mouth full and slightly chewing. "I can't believe it."

"I know. I can't believe it either..— ugh, Yuta. Please, chew it then swallow that ramen of yours before speaking. Manners!" Taeyong exclaims at his friend, his eyebrows furrowed tight. Today was not his day (though his whole life is probably turning  upside down right now). Making Ten loathe him didn't worked out and now they are under the same roof and he wishes he could just shrink right now and dissolve into nothingness rather than going home.
