HIS TOUCH || JAEYONG

Chapter 29 right/wrong

"Jaehyunie, what time do you need to be at work?" The two were cuddling in Taeyong's bed. It was already past the time the older's first class would start. Spending time with Jaehyun felt now more important for him than school.

He looked up at Jaehyun, who was keeping his arm around his waist. "In three hours. Can you come there after school, baby?"

"Of course," Taeyong leaned closer in the crook of his neck and traced his lips lightly on the skin. He liked how Jaehyun usually smelled clean and natural but now a bit sweaty too. It didn't bother him as much as he had thought.

He felt how Jaehyun's hand made its way to the back of his thigh. His bare leg was then pulled over Jaehyun's. Jaehyun caressed his leg tenderly, tickling him at the same time.

"Stop that, it tickles," He breathed out and wiggled his leg away from Jaehyun's touch but no avail.

"Your butterfly kisses on my neck tickles me too," Taeyong pulled away from his neck and placed his hand on the younger's toned chest to lift himself up. They were close face to face with each other and eyes locked. Taeyong gave him a serious look.

"You said that you...love me, do you still?"

"Why are you asking?"

"Just answer the question, please," Jaehyun couldn't understand why he was suddenly asking him that.

"I do love you, how could my feelings change just overnight?"

"Why? I mean, I hurt your sister and you should hate me not...love me. I don't deserve you," Jaehyun could see the concern in the other's eyes. He brushed his hand in the elder's dark hair lovingly.

"It doesn't bother me anymore and I don't want you to stress about it either. I just simply love you because you're lovable. Can't I do that?" Taeyong answered him by leaning in and placing his lips on the other's. He pulled away from the hasty kiss and gave Jaehyun a soft smile before making his way out of the bed. "Noo~ don't go yet~"

Taeyong pulled on his sweatpants having the other look at him the whole time as he dressed. "You need to get up too...and please, use a shower, you stink."

Taeyong pulled him from his arm as the other was too lazy to get up himself. "Jaehyuniee~"

"Yeah, yeah," He crawled off the bed and grabbed his shirt from the floor. He slapped Taeyong's ass as they were making their way out of the room. The elder blushed and glared at Jaehyun who only smiled at him mischievously.

"Taeyong how come you've been smiling all day today? Did something happen?" Ji-Eun asked when the three of them were hanging out in between classes.

"I noticed too. Something good must've happened," Ten joined the conversation as he walked to them back from the restroom.

"Eh-" Taeyong's face flushed beet red and Ji-Eun noticed the change.

"Oh my god! It's my brother, isn't it? Spill the tea," She demanded looking suddenly very enthusiastic. Taeyong looked around to make sure no one was paying any attention in them.

"I'm kinda seeing him later today...." He said facing the floor.

"So you're like boyfriends now, huh?" Ji-Eun teased. Ten's head snapped to her direction at that.

"Wait, Ji-Eun who was your brother again?"

"Oh sorry Ten, I forgot that you didn't know. Jaehyun, as you might've heard of him, is my brother and now is Taeyong's boyfriend," Ten thought for a moment and then everything clicked in his head.

"Ji-Eun, I don't know if we're boyfriends-"

"But- then- it still makes you gay," Ten stuttered but whispered the last word. "Taeyong you told me earlier that you weren't."

"I know. I'm sorry-"

"Wait, what do you mean you're not boyfriends?" Ji-Eun interrupted him expressing her confusion.

"We didn't talk about anything being together like that. He just told me that h-he loves me..." He didn't even know what he and Jaehyun were but boyfriends sure sounded good.

"Unbelievable. He should've asked you that. Well, you can ask him about it when you meet later," Taeyong nodded and then he noticed that Ten didn't look so pleased.

"Ji-Eun, he's gay," Ten said dramatically eyes widen but Ji-Eun shut him up with a light slap in the back of his head.

"Ten...does- does it really bother you?" Was he now losing his best friend? But he absolutely didn't want to. Ten was too important for him and now he was starting to fear the worst.

Ten only glared at him in disappointment. Taeyong took a step closer to him and reached his hand to him without thinking.

"Of course it does! I always thought you were like me. I thought we were best friends and best friends need to be the same. Which means not gay!" Taeyong winced at his hard tone and looked around noticing that they had now drawn attention from everyone around them, but Ten didn't seem to be bothered by them. His expression held so much disappointment. "I don't know if I want to be your friend anymore Taeyong."

"Ten p-please-" He begged and tried to take his friend's arm for some reason. When he finally touched his sleeve, Ten jerked his arm away from his grasp.

"Don't come any closer y-you freak! Don't touch me, and just go wash your hands like you should!!" Ten gave him a final glare and pushed his way past confused students. Taeyong blinked the tears away from his eyes and looked at Ji-Eun. She was shocked as she never imagined Ten would act like that. Why was he even overreacting like that?

"J-Jieun are you going to leave me now too?" Taeyong choked.

"No, no, of course not. Come on, let's go somewhere else," She noticed how the other was on the verge of tears so she led them both away from the crowd to somewhere quiet.

"Ji-Eun-"

"He'll come around, I'm sure. He simply can't end your friendship just like that. He's just being an oversensitive brat I didn't know he was...Taeyong you okay?" He was trying his best not to cry. Ten's words had hurt him so much and now it bothered him. Had he made the right choice to choose being with Jaehyun?

Suddenly, nothing felt right anymore.
