Destined (Jaeyong) [Complete]

1

Taeyong trudged wearily through the driving rain. The chill he had been suffering had definitely taken a turn for the worse.

He stopped as he coughed harshly, tears springing to his eyes in its aftermath.

He panted, feeling cold and sore and light-headed. He really couldn't afford to take time off from the evening job in the bar and tomorrow was the start of the weekend patrons and the bigger tips. He didn't get paid if he didn't work and the tips were as important as the hourly wage.

He sighed miserably.

He'd thought he could trust his girlfriend. He thought she'd cared for him but she'd only cared for the free accommodation and getting her hands on his credit cards without his knowledge.

Now she was gone and all the debts were his and his alone.

He gave a short bitter of a laugh that threatened to become a sob.

Will I ever know happiness? Will I ever know love?

The young man began to trudge again, silent tears mixed with the rain to fall unchecked down too pale cheeks.

At that moment all Taeyong wanted was to find himself warm, dry and with someone who genuinely cared for him.

Was that, really so much to ask of life?
