Good Thing | jaeyong [1]

Tears warmed the surface of Taeyong's cheeks as he stood and stared at the person who was dead on the ground before him, bathing in a pool of blood.

His eyes flickered up and he saw Jaehyun slowly walking towards him. Taeyong didn't recognise the person who was dead before him.

So why was he crying?

"I'm sorry Tae" Ten suddenly apologises as he walks into the room.

Jaehyun stops in his tracks and turns to glare at the other boy. Ten frowns and closes the distance between him and Taeyong.

The tears won't stop. Ten gently wipes them away with his thumbs and looks into his eyes.

Inhaling sharply, Jaehyun draws Taeyong's attention to him as he turns on his heel and goes to leave the room.

Taeyong steps away from Ten, causing his ex to look at him in confusion.

"Jaehyun wait!" He calls out and rushes to the younger.

Jaehyun pauses and turns just in time to have Taeyong wrapping his arms around him. He relaxes in his grip and immediately holds him tight.

A look of hurt flickers over Ten's face and he leaves without saying anything else.

"I-I love you Jaehyun" Taeyong confesses as soon as Ten has left the two alone.

Jaehyun pulls away and gently caresses his cheek as he smiles sadly.

"Even after Ten killed Johnny for you?"

"What?"

Taeyong pulls away from the younger and turns to look at the dead body once more. The features on the bloodied suddenly become a figure which Taeyong recognises.

It is indeed Johnny.

"Ten k-killed him?" He runs his hands through his hair as he looks back to Jaehyun. "For me?"

Jaehyun gently grabs Taeyong's wrists, pulling him against his body as he kisses the older softly.

Pulling away, he smiles and states "Wake up Tae."

Taeyong sits up suddenly and gasps for air. He looks down to see the top of the blanket wet from his sweat.

He places a hand on his forehead to feel it completely wet with his sweat.

What kind of dream was that?

His cheeks heat up as he recalls how Jaehyun kissed him. It felt so real. Taeyong can even recall how soft the younger's lips were against his own.

Kicking off the blanket, Taeyong rushes to the bathroom to have a shower.

He slips out of his pyjamas and turns on the water. He stands beneath the water and just breathes deeply as it washes over him.

Grabbing the shampoo he washes his hair and continues to wash his body.

Soon he finishes and turns off the water, drying off and wrapping the towel around his waist.

He will need to get a fresh set of pyjamas to wear now that he has sweated through his current set.

He chucks the dirty pair in the laundry and creeps into Yuta's room. Yuta snores softly as he sleeps.

Taeyong does his best to stay quiet as he opens the wardrobe and gets to his area of it.

He pull out the first pair of loose pants which he can find in the dark and leaves the room once more.

He drops the towel and hurries into the pants.

Jumping back onto the couch, beneath the blanket, he closes his eyes and hopes for sleep to take him once more.

His dream keeps repeating over and over in his head. Ten killed Johnny for him in it. What the hell?

Taeyong reaches for his phone on the coffee table to check the time. It's nearly 6am.

Suddenly a notification pops up on the screen and he looks to see a message from Ten.

Taeyong sits up once more as he opens it up.

Ten
Hey Taeyong, I know this will sound weird and you'll probably say no but can we talk over a coffee or something? I need someone to talk to..Don't feel pressured or anything

He needs someone to talk to when he in a relationship already?

Taeyong
Why don't you talk to your latest toy?

Taeyong deletes the message, deciding to give his ex a chance. Things can't get too much worse then they already are.

Besides, if he organises to go to the cafe near work, he can tell Jaehyun and maybe if he gets into trouble he can alert the doctor so he will come.

Taeyong
Sure. The cafe near my work. You know which one, meet at 12

Ten
Tae...Thank you so much.

Ten
I'll see you at 12~

Taeyong opens his contacts and gets to Jaehyun's ID. He thinks it through one more time before pressing call.

The phone is answered after three rings.

"Hey" Jaehyun sounds wide awake on the other end. How early does he get up?

"I have a favour to ask" Taeyong says and hears the younger placing down his chopsticks on the table.

"And what is that?"

"Ten asked to see me today. He needs to talk to someone. I agreed and now we are going to the cafe near work at 12." He explains and Jaehyun goes quiet.

"Hello?" Taeyong calls out.

"Ah, yes I'm still here. Sorry, I got distracted" he sounds distant all of a sudden.

"If I feel uncomfortable can I contact you and you, you know...Actually this is stupid" Taeyong changes his mind and rolls his eyes but Jaehyun is quick to butt in.

"Tae, this isn't stupid. You message me just one letter and I'll be straight there to take you away."

Taeyong is surprised by his response.

"What letter?"

"Just send a J."
