HIS TOUCH || JAEYONG

Chapter 17 lips

"That's dirty," Jaehyun sighed at the blond's words and pulled the covers over the other. He climbed off the bed to go take a shower and get rid of his own problem too but he was stopped by  fingers around his wrist. As he turned around, he was met by pair of beautiful eyes shimmery with tears staring back at him. "W-Where are you going?"

The boy sounded like he would break down crying at any moment. Jaehyun knelt beside the bed and caressed the blond boy's hair softly. "I'll be back soon, you can just rest there."

Taeyong didn't want to be alone but he could never admit that out loud. He liked the feeling he got when the other caressed his hair and looked at him so affectionately. He sucked up the tears and did what he had least wanted to do, sitting up brushing the hand away. He picked up his jeans from the floor. Those were still wet after the rain. "Umm-"

"I'll hang those to dry," Jaehyun grabbed the jeans from his hands and picked up the other clothes from the floor too. He then opened a closet and searched something from there. The blond found out what it was when Jaehyun threw a shirt to him before disappearing in the bathroom.

The white t-shirt smelled and looked
like it had never been used before. He decided to wear it and it turned out to be a few sizes too big for him. Jaehyun must've accidentally bought a too large shirt because he was not that much bigger than the blond.

Taeyong laid down under the covers when he heard the shower being turned on. The bed smelled like Jaehyun. He didn't know if he liked it or not. Some part of him found it relaxing but the other part told him to leave because it was not his bed or his room either. Would he have done that if he had proper clothes on him? Maybe not.

He closed his eyes and tried not to think about anything. What time was it even? He should be in a class right now. After a while he heard the shower being turned off. He turned to look at the bathroom door when it was opened.

"Taeyong, do you want to use a shower?" Jaehyun was already wearing dry clothes. His hair was towel dried and he looked clean unlike Taeyong himself.

"I'll pass," Use someone else's shower? No thanks. He could just go home and shower there. He sat up as he felt uncomfortable just laying there Jaehyun following his every move. Why was he looking him like that anyways? "I'll just wear the wet clothes and leave."

He couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere in the room. He rushed towards the bathroom but Jaehyun was still blocking the door. "Move."

The taller just stared him with an unreadable expression. He felt fingers suddenly caressing his neck and then his cheek. The act looked almost affectionate but that was not possible. Taeyong didn't step away from the touch.

"Okay if you give me a kiss," Taeyong could've just forcefully pushed him away from the door but instead he leaned closer and gave the other a soft kiss on the lips. Jaehyun had meant it as a joke but when he was kissed he noticed how much he had actually meant it. He reached his hands on Taeyong's cheeks to keep him from backing away and heard the blond humming in the kiss approvingly.

Their lips moved together in sync but then Taeyong pushed him away abruptly. The younger let him go pass him to the bathroom.

Taeyong looked at himself through the mirror. His hair was pointing in every direction, lips chapped and swollen and neck full of purple hickeys. The marks were much more noticeable than the last time. Why did he let the other to do any of this to him?

He wanted to cry but didn't allow himself to. He changed into his earlier clothes that were almost dry. Should he just go home? He wasn't on a mood to study anymore.

Taeyong left the bathroom and didn't bother say anything to Jaehyun about leaving. He then left the room too.

"Taeyong, where did you disappear yesterday? I couldn't find you anywhere," The two friends waited for the lecture to begin outside of the classroom.

"I didn't feel like studying," Taeyong averted his gaze down from Ten. He himself was surprised at how effortlessly he lied. The turtleneck shirt he was wearing hid the obvious marks on his neck so maybe his friend would never even know the truth.

"Was it because of Ji-Eun?" Taeyong's gaze was on his friend again. He didn't want to talk about the girl but neither about yesterday. Actually, he didn't want to talk about anything at the moment.

"Um...no-"

"Taeyongiee!" He heard his name being called from somewhere. Who else would shout his name in the corridor full other students but Jaehyun? No one. He turned to where the voice had come but was surprised to see that the other was already standing in front of him.

"What do-" Taeyong's words were cut off when the taller suddenly pressed a kiss on his lips. He blushed recklessly. That was the least thing he had expected Jaehyun would ever do. He had just kissed him on school corridor in front of everyone.

That was the first time in a long time he had actually cared what others thought of him. They must now think that they were together or something but it was not true. He didn't want to be known as gay in the school or anywhere else.

Taeyong just simply walked away. He was too busy getting away from the crowd to notice that someone had followed him. "Taeyong I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that. It just happened."

"Go away!" Taeyong shouted back at him.

"No I won't!" The blond walked faster. Where was he heading to?

Taeyong stopped in his tracks abruptly. No way. Why did he have to walk into her when Jaehyun could appear at any moment? He didn't want her to know anything about him and Jaehyun. Actually, there wasn't even a thing called him and Jaehyun. Then why did he care if someone saw them? He just didn't want the girl to misunderstand them. She had already noticed Taeyong too so running away was out of question.

"Oh Taeyong," Ji-Eun said but then her eyes moved to look past him.

Jaehyun saw that it as a chance when the blond had stopped in the middle of the corridor for whatever reason. He grabbed Taeyong's hand in his to drag him somewhere they could talk in private. "Jaehyunie?"

Jaehyunie? Did Ji-Eun know him? What was going on? Taeyong looked between Ji-Eun and the other whose hand was still holding his. "Oh hi sis, I need to talk to Taeyongie here for a bit."

Jaehyun started dragging him away but the blond yanked his hand free. He himself surely looked as shocked as Ji-Eun when their eyes met.

"Jaehyunie, you and Taeyong know each other?" Jaehyun already knew that his sister and Taeyong knew each other so he was the only not confused. He nodded and missed the piercing look the blond was giving him.

"How do you know each other?" Taeyong was confused. "Jaehyun?"

The said male turned to him finally, smirked, then walked to Ji-Eun and put an arm around her shoulder. "She's my sister."
