20. I'm sorry, Youngjae

A/n: I'm sorry it took me so long to update.

Youngjae had waited at least three hours for Jaebum to return. Youngjae being alone with his thoughts, he was panicking like crazy and thinking that Jaebum would discover the truth. Hoseok most likely spilled his horrifying past. He was sweating, his nerves not calming down. Would Jaebum even love him anymore?

And then the door handle moved. Jaebum was home and currently unlocking the door. Youngjae had a mental breakdown and ran all the way upstairs and inside his little closet filled with clothes consisting of pastel colors.

"Youngjae? Where are you? I need to talk to you."

Youngjae was dying on the inside. He covered his mouth with his hands so his breathing could not be heard so easily. His heart beat increased rapidly as his ears picked up the sound of footsteps drawing near his room.

"Youngjae. This isn't funny, I'm being serious." Jaebum's tone was worried but a slight hint of anger as well.

Youngjae choked out a sob, giving Jaebum his exact location. Jaebum swung the white closet door open and saw Youngjae's eyes widened with fear. "Youngjae?! Are you okay?!" Jaebum immediately reached out to grab Youngjae, but Youngjae dashed out of the closet. "I-I'm sorry, Jaebum. I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth. I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I-I just didn't want you to leave me.. or hate me.. I have problems, Jaebum. I still have problems a-and sometimes I can't control it. I'm messed up. I know you don't love me any–"

Youngjae couldn't finished, his sobs getting in the way of his speaking. Tears soaked his pastel yellow sweatshirt and light blue skinny jeans. Jaebum's eyes widened at the sight of his broken Youngjae. Jaebum was speechless and Youngjae took the silence as a, 'you're right. I don't love you anymore.'

Youngjae hiccuped and made a run for it out of the room. He ignored Jaebum's endless shouts and screams for him to come back. Jaebum couldn't be with someone like Youngjae. Someone who was crazy in the head. Youngjae ran outside and as fast as his legs could take him. He ran and ran and ran until Jaebum's screams were less and less loud.

A solid figure was in his way, causing him to slam into it and stumble backwards. Youngjae looked up and stared into the eyes of none other than Hoseok. "H-H–" Youngjae was too choked up to even spit out a word. Hoseok has seen Youngjae son and cry before, but never like this.

"W-Why–Why did you tell him?!" Youngjae screamed, not caring if people on the sidewalks were listening or watching. Hoseok furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes at Youngjae. "It had to come out sooner or later. What? You think you could keep your precious boyfriend and him not knowing the truth? And everything would be all fine and dandy? Plus.. he was beating the shit out of me."

Youngjae continued to sob and beat Hoseok's chest with his fists. "H-How–many times–do I have to apologize?!" Youngjae's sanity was slipping away more and more. "I-I.. I wanted to tell him... I didn't want it to be like this.. Please stop torturing me, Hoseok.."

Hoseok was dumbfounded as Youngjae looked into his eyes with his broken ones.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Youngjae."
