Good Thing | jaeyong [1]

twenty five

Deep breaths.

That was what Jaehyun had instructed the older to do over and over again as they boarded the plane back to Korea.

Taeyong wasn't ready to face Ten yet. He booked his flight before his ex's hoping they wouldn't cross paths.

"Don't you dare even begin to think this was your fault" The doctor had told Taeyong when he first heard the news.

How could he think otherwise? If he just keep up the stupid act, Lisa wouldn't have freaked out and gone home to slit her wrists.

Jaehyun seemed to be nearly as broken as Taeyong was as he comforted the older.

This surprised him as he had never felt so much pain for a patient.

That's what made Taeyong so different.

He made Jaehyun hurt as much as he did, even more when he was in pain. No matter how small or great the pain was.

"It'll be okay" The doctor gently kisses the top of his boyfriend's head as they prepare for take off.

Yuta stayed back in Thailand to fly back with Ten.

No matter how bad he doesn't like his friend's ex, he said it wouldn't be fair to let him fly back alone after losing his sister.

Taeyong doesn't speak a word to Jaehyun for the whole flight. He knew he would break down again if he spoke out loud.

Jaehyun respected his choice and didn't try to get him to speak. He just held onto his hand the whole time, silently reminding him that he was there.

Once at the airport back in Korea, Taeyong finally spoke.

"I don't want to go back to Yuta's apartment."

"That's fine. You can come to mine" Jaehyun smiles gently but Taeyong shakes his head and pulls away from his grasp.

"This is going to hurt but I feel like you'll just become Dr. Jung and will continue to ask me questions and you won't just be quiet and comfort me. I can't blame you for that as that is your job. You don't know how to comfort others properly."

Jaehyun can't help but feel shocked by the older's sudden words.

"I can be quiet. I can just listen. I don't want to leave you alone Tae. Your mind isn't in a good place and something could go wrong if I just leave you."

"See? You are already becoming Dr. Jung again." Taeyong sighs as he gently kisses the younger's cheek.

"I'll go to see Jungwoo. It's okay. Stay here and tell Yuta where I am."

"You can't even stay with Yuta? Do you even realise how badly you are freaking me out right now? Lee Taeyong, in your current state you might go and jump off a bridge or chug a bottle of pills! The only way I can be assured that you'll remain safe is if you come with me or go with Yuta!" The doctor begins to raise his voice so Taeyong yells back.

"Who are you to force me to go with someone because it helps you to stop worrying? I don't give a shit if you are worried or not. I never asked you to care for me. You were my psychologist. You were just meant to save me."

Jaehyun scoffs at the harsh words.

He knows Taeyong isn't thinking straight but he can't help but be offended and hurt.

"Well obviously I didn't do my job did I? Instead I grew feelings for you and believed that you felt the same. Yet I was wrong. You were just blinded by the fact that I was the only one helping you."

"If it was that simple then I'd be fucking Yuta not you." Taeyong spits harshly.

Jaehyun sees the hurt flash over his eyes but he is too fired up to point it out.

"Why don't you go fuck him instead then? Or even go pay a visit to dear old Johnny. I'm sure he'd be more then happy to help you out."

The doctor immediately regrets what he said.

"Fuck you Jaehyun."

Taeyong doesn't give the younger a chance to say anything else before running away from him.

He grabs his bags from the bag collection area and hurries outside jumping into the first taxi he sees.

"Where to?" The driver asks kindly.

"The cemetery."

--

"Jaehyun?" Yuta calls out in confusion as he walks up behind the doctor, Ten by his side.

"Where's Taeyong?" Ten asks softly and that's when they notice tears in his eyes.

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?" Ten snaps but Yuta looks at him, silently telling him to stop.

"What happened?" He asks in a more gentle tone.

"We fought. I said something really bad and he left." Jaehyun begins to cry and Yuta steps forward and wraps his arms around him.

"What if he hurts himself Yuta? I don't even know where he went. I just let him leave. I fucked up. I really fucked up."

It was new to Yuta, hearing the doctor swear. He hadn't seen him that much but he was always so polite. Even when they were back at the hotel together.

"What was the last thing he said? Was he upset?" he questions him.

"'Fuck you Jaehyun' and he looked miserable, heartbroken. Why does that matter?" Jaehyun pulls away to look at the older, confused.

"I know where he is" Yuta states and both Ten and Jaehyun seem interested in what he has to say.

"He's at the cemetery. Visiting his father."
