outloud 》 2jae (sequel)

23.

jaebum unties the ropes from his ankles, finding his discarded underwear pulling it on.

he wipes the tears away before walking to the basement door

youngjae lifts his head and notices jaebum is alone

jaebum walks up to where youngjae is sitting and squats down

a tired smile on his face as he unties youngjae.

"where is he?" youngjae whispers

jaebum just pulls him into a hug stroking his head lightly

"gone. we'll be okay now."

youngjae feels the tears begin to well up in his eyes as his body shakes, sobs escaping from his lips

"i'm so, so tired jaebum."

"i know youngjae, i know."
