Taeyong has never been jealous of anyone but lately, he can't seem to get rid of the nagging spike of jealousy he feels whenever Jaehyun spends time with someone else. And as he often reminds himself, it's not even as if they are dating. But maybe...

Jaehyun woke up to the sound of their manager's voice saying, "Jaehyun, you have forty minutes. Get ready and get breakfast, okay?"
He groaned but got up, waving a hand in his direction. "I'm up, don't worry."
The manager nodded before retreating to what must be Yuta and Winwin's room next. Jaehyun looked around. Taeyong's side of the bed was empty. Well, he realized with embarrassment he had rolled over to most of Taeyong's side now. He knocked on the bathroom door. "Taeyong hyung, you there?"
Taeyong was nowhere in the room and it was with a heavy heart that Jaehyun was forced to admit to himself that Tae had left him some time earlier in the morning. He took a deep breath, rubbing his eyes. He had been so angry when they had fought but within hours he had felt horrible about it. In fact, the night they had the fight, he had just stayed in bed angry and hurt only to wake up feeling that he shouldn't have said any of the things he had said. He wanted to tell that to him too but when he had approached him at the airport, he had been greeted with a cold stare. It was like he had become invisible to Taeyong's gaze. He drew up his legs and his shoulders shook slightly as he wished Taeyong was here. He missed him so much.
His eyes widened as he half-remembered the incident from dawn. Taeyong had pushed him away. He had got out of bed to get away from him.
Jaehyun cursed. "Oh shit, what did I do!?" He wished he had had slightly more control over his sleeping self.
The manager banged on the door again. "Jaehyun, you're up, right?"
He shook out of his thoughts. "Yes, yes, I'm getting ready."
Fifteen minutes later, he stepped out of the bathroom, showered and ready. He pulled on his jacket and stopped by the door when he saw a tray of breakfast kept neatly near the edge of the bed. He looked around but the room was still empty. He frowned slightly, glancing over the items. A chicken sandwich, fruit salad and a box of grape juice.
Dare he think...he shook his head. No, it was obvious that Taeyong was not only uninterested in him but that he was really upset with him. There was no way. And yet when he finished breakfast, his mouth had the hints of a smile at the slight chance that maybe, Taeyong was responsible for this. Maybe he could still salvage his friendship with him. That was the most he could hope for and even that was so daring to hope for.
He looked through his phone for the pancake's recipe he had. He knew it was a cheap move but maybe Taeyong's favourite pancakes could be a good conversation starter. He doubted that telling him he liked him since rookie days would work out.
With a set mind, he opened his door only to be greeted by Winwin. "Jaehyun, hi."
"Later, Winwin," he said.
"Woah, we're leaving. Where do you think you're going?"
"The kitche—Oh is it time already?"
Winwin nodded. "Johnny is getting Markhyuck and Taeyong is getting Taeil. There they are! Guys, I got Jaehyun and Yuta. Let's go."
