Cafe - Hwitae

[31]

     As soon as the bell rang, Hwiyoung was out of his seat and out the door. He pushed his way through the halls and to the door. Just as he was about to step outside, he felt a pair of arms wrap around him. His already foggy head clouded over even more. He couldn't tell if he was going to scream or pass out. He was brought back to reality when he found out who was behind him.

     "Kyun-ah, are you alright? You're shaking." Taeyang said quietly into the younger's ear. Hwiyoung turned and looked at him before nodding. "Are you cold? Do you want my jacket?"

     Taeyang began to push his jacket at the other before he was stopped.

     "I'm fine, I just have a headache. I'll probably just go home and sleep." Hwiyoung looked down at his feet. His laces were messed up. One was different then all of the rest. He could feel his eyes begin to sting. Why would this little thing drive him to tears?

     "Kim Youngkyun, I have a question and I want an honest answer." Taeyang said, grabbing the boy's hands. "You would tell me if something was wrong, right?"

     Hwiyoung stood there for a minute. He looked at his hands being held by his boyfriend.

     Are you going to tell him the truth or are you going to lie to him again?

     He looked up at Taeyang.

     "I would. So here, nothing is fine." He pulled his hands back, turned around, and headed out the door. Taeyang stood there stunned for a minute before processing the younger's words. Before he could rush after him, the crowd of students eager to leave swallowed Hwiyoung up and he was out of sight.

     Hwiyoung looked at the words Taeyang sent. He was told to answer honestly. He wanted to answer honestly. He wanted to tell Taeyang everything that was bothering him. To expose his feelings and maybe feel better. He looked at the words and locked his phone.

     Taeyang waited for a reply. He waited for hours. When the clock hit midnight, he knew the answer. Hwiyoung's silence was enough. He beat himself up over it all night.

     The walk to school was quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the birds chirping and the sound of Hwiyoung's shoes hitting the ground. He looked down and admired his laces. He had made sure he fixed them before he went to bed. 

     He turned and began walking up to the building. He didn't get far before his random thoughts were interrupted.

     "Why didn't you say something." He slowed and looked back down to the ground. His heart sped up and he could feel a slight pinch at the back of his skull, warning him of what was to come. "Why didn't you tell me?"

     He turned to face his boyfriend, his eyes glossy, his nose red. At the sight of a sad Hwiyoung, Taeyang broke. He grabbed the younger's hands and looked him in the eye.

     "I know, it was stupid and I'm an idiot and I have no excuse for what I've done, but I really want to make it up to you. Why didn't you tell me? You had every right to be mad and throw something at me, punch me in the face, but you didn't. You didn't do anything." Taeyang could see tears slip out of Hwiyoung's eyes. He leaned forward and kissed him on the nose. "Please say something."

     "I-I-I..." Hwiyoung couldn't form a sentence. His heart was beating unnecessarily fast. His head buzzed. He felt as if he might pass out. The tears continued to slip down his cheeks. He squeezed his eyes shut, willing them to stop. "I'm sorry."

     That was all he said. Taeyang was slightly confused. Why was he apologizing? He hadn't done anything wrong. He raised a brow. He wasn't expecting what came next.

     "I think we should break up."

HAPPY TAEYANG DAY!!! What a wonderful sunshine. I hope his day is as wonderful and fabulous as he is. That goes for you guys too!

sorry this is short. i'm terrible. I promise the next chapter will be extra long.

Thank you all very much for 3k. I never thought we would get this far it's honestly mind blowing. It makes me want to write more and more. I will warn you, updates will slow down for a while. I know I know, updates aren't exactly "fast" right now but the season just started so I have practices late and then I have to do homework and stuff. I will try to put something up at least every weekend.

I have a... well a... another uh story in the works. It's a short story and as soon as I'm ready I will release it into the world. Let me know if you like Markhyuck ;)
