Good Thing | jaeyong [1]

"You're smiling?" Yuta says in a way that half sounds like a question as Taeyong enters the office after his session with Jaehyun.

"Am I?" Taeyong is quick to return his expression to one of no emotion as he takes a seat at his desk.

"I didn't mean for you to stop" Yuta frowns as he walks over to his friend.

"It went well then?"

Taeyong nods slowly and chews his nail as he avoids looking at Yuta.

"We talked. I didn't break down so I guess that was a bonus."

Yuta smiles to himself and heads over to his own desk.
"We are going to get coffee after work and you are going to tell me everything that happened in that office."

"But that would ruin the point of patient confidentiality. Also we are going out with Jungwoo remember?" Taeyong chuckles softly and Yuta sighs in defeat.

"I will find out what happened. Maybe I should thank Dr. Jung. I haven't seen you smile like that for two months."

—

The time to go out to dinner with Jungwoo quickly approached.

Taeyong put on a pair of ripped jeans and a long black and white, stripped shirt, which he only tucked in half of.

Yuta put on a white shirt with a denim jacket over the top, jeans on the bottom.

Satisfied with their outfits, the pair headed to the barbecue place which they always visit annually for food.

Jungwoo was already seated at a table when they arrived. He wears black pants with a grey sweater.

He excitedly greets Yuta and Taeyong before they all sit down and look at the menus.

"I'm interested to know how your session with Jaehyun went" Jungwoo suddenly asks Taeyong.

He finds himself hiding behind his menu as he tries to waste time before speaking.

"Nothing important. We talked like most people do in those kinds of things."

"What did you talk about?" Yuta lushes and Taeyong does his best to keep his answers short.

"Ten happened to be the main topic of conversation surprise, surprise."

Yuta nods slowly and looks at Jungwoo. The pair seem to communicate with their eyes briefly before being interrupted by the waitress who has come to take their orders.

After she has left the table again, Jungwoo clasps his hands together and places them on the table.

Small talk about random everyday events begins and Taeyong is relieved that the spotlight is no longer on him.

He doesn't understand why they are so interested in what happened with him and Jaehyun.

Are sessions with psychologists meant to be interesting to hear about?

Yes Jaehyun is a world wide known psych but that doesn't mean the session will be any different.

The food comes and Taeyong happily eats it as he listens to Yuta and Jungwoo talking about random things.

Taeyong feels as though someone's gaze is burning into his back at one stage.

Slowly, he turns around to see a familiar face seated at the table just behind them.

Jaehyun is seated with a stranger to Taeyong and they both seem to be content as they eat their meals.

He wears a white shirt with a soft pink coloured suit jacket over the top. His hair has been parted.

Jaehyun's eyes meet Taeyong's and they both look away.

Taeyong continues with his food and hopes that Yuta and Jungwoo haven't noticed the doctor behind him.

Yuta smirks and Taeyong mentally curses. "Look" he tells Jungwoo and the younger of course looks.

"Taeyong, should we ask him what happened today?" Jungwoo asks and Taeyong shoots him down with a glance.

"There's literally nothing to know." Taeyong must be sure to keep these two away from Jaehyun.

"Excuse me a moment please" He gets up from the table and hurried into the bathroom where he washes his face and takes several deep breathes before returning back to the guys.

Though he is shocked when he sees Jaehyun and his companion have joined his table.

Jaehyun is seated next to his seat.

He looks at Yuta who only smiles back as he sits down.

"We thought it would be polite to invite them to join us" Jungwoo explains and Taeyong looks over to Jaehyun.

"Hello Dr. Jung."

"Call me Jaehyun, please." The younger smiles and gestures to the person on his left.

"This is my close friend Doyoung."

"Hello, I am Taeyong" Taeyong shakes his hand and the other man smiles at him.

"Now as I was saying" Yuta states and Taeyong nervously sips his drink.

"Our Taeyongie looks all tough on the outside but he is actually a real softie."

Taeyong tried hard to not choke on his drink as heard this.

What on earth are they discussing?

"I look forward to get to know this other side in our upcoming sessions" Is all Jaehyun says to this.

He doesn't seem to fussed by the information. Taeyong expected him to be laughing and waiting to make jokes about it.

"Drink?" Yuta offers to top up his glass but he politely declines.

"I'm driving. Don't want to nearly hit anyone" He looks at Taeyong this time and chuckles softly.

Taeyong can't help but smile softly at this.

Jungwoo starts to do his thing and creates small talk with the two newcomers at the table.

Taeyong retreats to his food and does his best to remain silent and left out if he conversation.

It works until Jaehyun pulls himself out of the conversation as well and turns to him.

"Your food looks good" he states quietly.

"Want to try some?" Taeyong finds himself asking before he has the chance to think about it.

Jaehyun slightly shocked by the sudden offer but he agrees. Taeyong picks up a small bit and Jaehyun opens his mouth for him to put it in.

"Mmmm" He moans happily as he chews the meat.

"Remind me to order that next time."

Taeyong smiles as the younger eats happily. Something about it makes him feel happy himself.

"You know there is this steak place near my place that tastes amazing. Maybe we could go together one day."

Jaehyun suddenly voices the idea and Taeyong notices that Yuta is watching the pair as he finished his own food.

"Why not?" Taeyong ignores his friends gaze as he focuses on Jaehyun.

"I'm still calling you tomorrow night. This doesn't get you out of it" he laughs and Taeyong grins.

He is glad that he will still be calling him.

For the first time in two months he is genuinely glad.
