Next morning Taeyong woke up with his head hurting like crazy. He sat up in the bed and groaned when head spinning. He noticed that he was not wearing clothes beside from socks and underpants. He was in Jaehyun's bed, but he was alone.
Then everything, that happened last night before he passed out, came flowing into his mind. He hit his head on the pillow again not wanting get up yet and threw his other arm on across the empty space of the bed. He felt awful.
He felt tears stinging in the back of his eyes as he thought about what happened. He remembered how hurt Jaehyun had looked but he still continued to tell him all of those awful things. What was wrong with him?
He let the tears fall onto the pillow which smelled like Jaehyun. He didn't hear the door opening either.
"Taeyong..." He quickly wiped the tears away from his eyes and sat up again. He faced the girl who was still standing in the doorway.
"Where's Jaehyun?"
"He already left to work. Did something happen between you two? He seemed so low-spirited this morning," Jieun asked. She had seen that Jaehyun had slept in the living room last night and now the other had literally been crying when she walked in the room.
"He should hate me now..."
"Do you want to talk about it?" He shook his head as an answer and stood up from the bed. He found his clothes neatly folded on the chair.
"I should just go home,"
"I think you should go talk to him, sooner the better. See you in school," She closed the room door quietly and Taeyong was left alone again. He walked to Jaehyun's closet and opened it as if it was his own. Would he mind if he borrowed some clothes? He didn't want to wear again the suit which reminded him of yesterday.
He took some hoodie and sweatpants and wore them, then his phone rang. He searched his phone and looked at who was calling.
"Um...hello-"
"Oh finally you picked up. Where the hell are you? You missed the first period and you didn't answer...I was worried," Ten called and expressed his worries. Why even?
"Uh- why?" He sat down on the bed again.
"Your mom called me and said that you didn't come home yesterday. Where are you?"
"I'm still at Jaehyun's but...I'm alone. Yesterday...I- I kinda fainted...hehe-"
"You what?!! Omg did you drink at the party? Do you want me to come there? Never mind, I'm coming. Text me the address or I'll ask Ji-Eun," Ten ended the call after that and Taeyong was left dumbfounded. Why would he want to come here? He could walk home by himself.
He grabbed his folded suit with him and left to downstairs. He just needed to call Ten again that he wouldn't leave school...He didn't pick up.
Suddenly he heard the front door opening and he panicked. He wouldn't know what to say if it was Jaehyun's mom or dad. He quickly ran in the bathroom and quietly closed the door. He could hear the someone walking in the room. If it was Ji-Eun, he would be safe but... He opened the door slightly as he heard steps going up the stairs.
Then he ran quickly to the front door and almost got a hold of the handle when a voice from behind startled him suddenly. "Taeyong"
He had not expected that. He reached for the door handle again and pushed it slightly open but a hand on his own pulled the door shut again. The hand didn't move away even when the door was already closed.
"Jaehyun, move away."
"Can we talk for a second?" Jaehyun took a step back and the other turned around to face him. His expression was so cold. He waited if Jaehyun wanted to say something and looked down at the other's feet. "Do you remember what happened yesterday?"
Taeyong didn't answer. He heard Jaehyun sighing after a while. "I don't know if you actually meant everything you said or if you even spoke the truth but what you said really hurt me...I thought we were just perfectly fine with each other. I'm sorry that I don't treat you the way you'd want but I just care about you too much."
Every word Jaehyun said hurt him so much. He wanted to interrupt him and tell that he was sorry and he didn't mean anything he said but...most of it was actually true. Like about trusting Jaehyun. He didn't know what he could tell him and what to do with the things that bothered him in their relationship. He liked that Jaehyun was sweet and caring and gentle but sometimes he wished that...he wasn't. He wanted to see again the controlling and dominating Jaehyun he had used to be when they first started doing things.
Now everything was just a mess.
"I don't think either of us is ready for a relationship if we can't communicate properly. I-....I think we should take a break. It would make good for the both of us," Jaehyun ended his talk and hoped for an answer from the other. He hated that Taeyong only looked down in guilt and not at him when he spoke. He hated even more that he wanted to pull him in his arms and never let him go but he couldn't. "Please, say something."
"Okay...I'm sorry," He felt like he would break down crying at any moment but he didn't want Jaehyun to see that. He didn't want Jaehyun to think that he was weak.
"That's it?" He had actually hoped that Taeyong wouldn't give up on him that easily. That was just disappointing and one more reason to not to continue their relationship.
"I'm sorry, I guess I'm just no good in this relationship stuff," He tried not to stutter but it was hard. He turned around and opened the door to leave. Jaehyun didn't stop him this time.
He turned to the side way and walked quickly wanting to get fast home to cry alone.
"Taeyong wait!" He heard Ten shouting behind him but he wasn't in a mood to deal with him too. He walked even faster.
"I said wait," Ten grabbed his hand but Taeyong yanked his hand free and walked again.
"Please leave me alone!" Ten took his hand again.
"What happened?" He saw the pained expression Taeyong was wearing even if he was looking down in shame and Ten grew more worried. He heard him sniffling one time. He was definitely crying.
"P-please I- I don't want you to see me like this," He stuttered and tried to turn away again but Ten drew him in hug. That's when Taeyong broke down completely and cried hard on his shoulder. Ten felt his heart breaking when he listened his cries.
"J-Ja-Jaehyun h-he- he-" Taeyong stuttered between his cries and Ten held him tighter in his arms. He had guessed right that it had something to do with that bastard Jaehyun and he hated seeing his best friend hurting this much. Whatever he did to the boy was not okay.
