HIS TOUCH || JAEYONG

Chapter 20 bite [m]

"Mom, it's not what it looks like," Taeyong tried to explain but his red face was making it impossible to believe. He was so embarrassed. His mom's shocked face turned quickly back to neutral.

"I didn't know we had guests. I'll go make breakfast for you two," she left and closed the door after. The blond hid his face in his hands and groaned in frustration. She had seen that but ignored it totally.

"Now she's thinking something that is not true," Taeyong rolled on the bed messing his hair while the other watched him in amusement and grinned unconsciously at how cute he was.

"What is not true?...Stop moving around," Jaehyun grabbed him on his waist to stop him. The blond removed his hands from covering his face and turned his doe eyes on him. "Do you think what we're doing is wrong?"

"Of course it is. I'm not gay and we're not together or anything so we're not supposed to do things like that," Taeyong sat up and crawled out of the bed.

"Does it matter?" For Taeyong it did but he knew for the other it didn't.

"No," he lied quickly and went towards the door. "Are you coming?"

They went to kitchen and saw Taeyong's mom preparing breakfast for them. The blond pulled a chair and sat down awkwardly while nervously nibbling his nails. Jaehyun was calm unlike the other. He saw Taeyong's discomfort so he poked the blond's thigh with his knee to make him snap out of it.

"Shouldn't you both be in school by now?" She asked and sat down on the opposite side of the table. She had made more breakfast than usually. "But eat first."

She stood up not waiting either of them to answer anything. Is she just gonna ignore it like that? "Mom, aren't you gonna ask?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine with whoever you date. Jaehyun, I think you're a great guy so take care of my precious boy well, will you? I need to go to work now, bye," she left the room leaving the both of them stare after her.

"Oh my god did you just hear what she said? She thinks we're dating," Taeyong hid his face in his hands and leaned on the table with his elbows. He had never expected her to be that approving but she should've let them explain first before making fast conclusions. Well, how would've they even explained themselves?

"I think that's good."

"Huh?" Taeyong turned to the other who was talking nonsense.

"Don't you think it's better if she thinks that we're dating than knowing what we're actually doing?"

"But it's not true!"

"Do you want it to be true then?" Jaehyun regretted his words tight after he had blurted them out. He noticed how the blond blushed.

"N-No," he stuttered.

"Good. Don't worry, she won't find out," Jaehyun turned to look at the food on the table and picked up a slice of apple. He pushed it on the blond's lips. "Here. Eat this and stop stressing about it."

Taeyong got embarrassed by being fed like that. He took a bit of the apple either way. Jaehyun took the other half of it and ate it while smirking at him.

After they had eaten and cleaned the table Taeyong wanted to go take a shower. "After I'm done we're going to school. I have already skipped too much lately."

He left the kitchen but Jaehyun followed after him. Just as he was closing the bathroom door the other blocked it. "Let me come with you."

"No."
