The Alpha's Forbidden Love-JAEYONG

⌠11⌡

Taeyong didn't know what to feel after being kissed by Jaehyun. He blamed his reflexes for slapping the alpha on the cheek. Soon, he left the room. He ran straight to his room and locked himself inside. He leaned onto his door and regretting everything.

If he didn't have his heat right from the start, then things won't be like this.

He sighed. He threw himself on his bed and hugged his other pillow. Minutes later, his eyelids became heavier, making him fall into slumber.

"Taeyong?"

Taeyong slowly fluttered his eyelids open. Before he knew it, it was already dinner time. He immediately stood up from his bed, forgetting to fix the comforter. He opened his door and saw Johnny.

"It's dinner time. Were you asleep?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh, yes. You know, I was a bit tired of cleaning," Taeyong excused as he smiled at the tall alpha.

"Well, you should've gone with us," Johnny uttered, "You go ahead. I'll just call Jaehyun."

Taeyong walked down the stairs. Upon hearing Jaehyun's name, he shivered and suddenly getting so nervous. He saw Ten, Yuta and Sicheng in the kitchen, who was the ones who's cooking dinner. Soon, Johnny walked into the kitchen and told us that Jaehyun's going to go down any minute now.

The food was then served on the dining table and Jaehyun came. Taeyong looked at him and saw the very faint red mark on his cheek, where the omega slapped him. The omega bit his lower lip, knowing that he was the reason why Jaehyun has a mark.

Ten and the others gasped as they saw it, except Taeyong.

"What happened?!" Ten asked. He was about to touch the red mark but Jaehyun immediately shun.

"Don't worry, I was slapping myself to make myself awake. I still have many things to do," Jaehyun uttered with an assuring smile. Taeyong watched him as he made an excuse.

"You slapped yourself that hard?" Ten, not believing Jaehyun, asked.

"I slapped myself multiple times," Jaehyun shrugged.

Taeyong can't hear more of Jaehyun's excuses. He suddenly stood up from his chair. They stopped talking and looked at Taeyong. The omega's head was low, preventing them from seeing Taeyong's tear-filled eyes.

"Eat without me. I don't have the appetite," Taeyong's voice cracked. He immediately exited the dining table, leaving the others.

He then locked himself inside his room. Tears rolled down his cheeks. He quietly mourned inside, feeling the guilt was eating him away. After Jaehyun being so kind to them, Taeyong didn't mean to pay him with hate.

Weeks passed and all Taeyong did was avoid Jaehyun. He did bring him tea every afternoon but immediately exiting the room. He didn't bother talking nor looking at him.

Jaehyun, on the other hand, deserved to be avoided. Guilt also swallowed him whole weeks ago. He just drowned himself with work to forget Taeyong. His office was a mess. Papers and books were all around the room.

He, himself, was also a mess. The more he wants to forget the kiss, the more he craves for it.

Taeyong restricting himself from going into Jaehyun's room and office if not necessary. He distracted himself with cleaning. He became bored after cleaning. He took a bath and saw how long his bangs were. He thought of having a haircut and maybe changing the color.

Taeyong was about to go until Ten called him.

"Tae, you're going?" Ten asked, Taeyong nodded, "Can you do me a favor?"

"What is it?"

"I want you to buy some groceries."

"Okay, sure."

Ten gave Taeyong a list and some money. Ten let Taeyong use his bike to make things easy. The omega was on the grocery store minutes later. He parked the bike before going inside the store. The inside wasn't that packed even though Chuseok's coming.

The omega picked the things that was on the list. He was surprised when he saw on the list the brand of a soap that was for omegas' pheromones. He thought why would Ten buy if he already has a mate.

(A/N: Did I mentioned on the intro that omegas with mates, when in heat their mates are the only ones who'll react to their pheromones? No? Now you know.)

After checking out, he goes to the nearest parlor. He goes inside and asked for a haircut and wanted to color his hair. They let Taeyong sat to cut his hair. After they asked what color would he prefer. Taeyong said red.

Taeyong got home with the groceries. As he goes inside, Yuta thought he was a stranger.

"Does it look fine?" Taeyong asked the alpha.

"Yeah! But I look finer," Yuta shrugged and Taeyong chuckled.

Taeyong laid the bag on the counter table. He looked on the clock and it's time for tea. He warms up some tea on the kettle. After, he delivered it in the office. He was about to knock when he heard Jaehyun.

"What? A week?...Why would I be there for a week?...Why would I be responsible for them?...For fuck's sake...Ok, fine. Fine. I'll be there the day after tomorrow."

He sounded mad and angry. Taeyong knocked after a few seconds. He came in and poured tea on the tea cup.

"Did you had a haircut?" Jaehyun asked. It was a long time since Taeyong heard his voice.

Taeyong nodded.

"It suits you."

Taeyong was surprised to hear that from Jaehyun. He looked at him with his doe eyes. He looked skinnier than before, Taeyong thought.

"Red suits you," Jaehyun added and that's when he looked at Taeyong. Their eyes met and Taeyong's heartbeat sped up. His cheeks heats up too.

"...Thank you," were the only words Taeyong could say before exiting the room quietly.

Taeyong returned in the kitchen and saw Ten and Johnny.

"You're going? To where?" Ten asked in an annoyed tone.

"Busan. It's just for a week," Johnny said calmly.

"A week?" Ten's getting hysterical again.

"Is Jaehyun going with you?" Taeyong asked Johnny. He didn't mean to disturb the two but things are getting crazy. The alpha nods.

"Yes. Yuta's going too, so you three are staying here without us."

Jaehyun's going to Busan? For a week? That's pretty long. Avoiding him for weeks hurts him, what more if he'll be in away for a week. Should they make up? What would he even say?
