love, anon // l.ty + j.jh

ch 8

it's been 3 days.

3 whole days in which jaehyun hadn't or barely saw taeyong. whenever he caught the smallest glance of the pink haired boy, the latter would turn away or simply ignore any of jaehyun's attempts of talking to him.

the younger couldn't bare seeing taeyong upset like this.

and he wasn't going to stand there and do nothing.

///

'taeyong, are you stupid or stupid?' donghyuck hissed at his best friend. 'you  didn't even give him a chance to react!'

'hyuck. he literally asked me if i was a guy. since when is that a positive answer?' the older replied. 'it hurts me too to act like this, ignoring him and all, but hyuck, i think that's what he wants too...'

'that's what he wants? are you insane? mark told me he's been sulking all day just because of you! he's so confused, taeyong. why can't you just talk to him?'

'it's not that easy, hyuckie...'

///

taeyong lay on his bed, contemplating every decision he had made since he met jaehyun.

those letters were such a huge mistake, taeyong thought to himself. but i was so in love with him! what was i supposed to do?

maybe hide it like a normal person, the pink haired boy scoffed.

what was he supposed to do now?

he clumsily picked up his headphones from the nightstand and plugged them in his phone. laying back on his bed, he picked the most depressing playlist he had and started listening.

soon enough, hot tears started streaming down taeyong's pretty face, messing up the hints of makeup he had previously applied.

the first love he had ever experienced was ruined. all of it was gone, crushed. he knew jaehyun was way out of his league, yet he couldn't help but completely fall in love with the younger. everything about him was perfect in taeyong's eyes- from his famous dimples to his tall, attractive figure. the first time the two had actually interacted, taeyong felt like his heart could explode any moment- it was a miracle how he actually managed to keep calm.

since he left his first letter, taeyong couldn't describe how much he was falling in love deeper and deeper every day with jaehyun. it hurt his heart listening to mark and jaehyun's assumptions of him, always referring to him as a girl.

he knew he had no chances with jaehyun.

yet a part of him kept hoping his thoughts would be proved wrong.

it hurt. it hurt so much. taeyong's constant craving for jaehyun, his touch, his affection, his love. he knew it was selfish but the pink haired boy wanted jaehyun's attention to be on him
and him only. he wanted all his love, every last drop of it.

jaehyun is perfect.

but taeyong can't have him.

'shut UP!' taeyong yelled at nobody in particular, grabbing his phone with a frustrated groan.

ttae.yong
fine.
but it's only for you

taeyong sighed and threw a hoodie on, not caring that it was very oversized, belonging to one of his friends, doyoung.

i should probably give it back to him sometime... taeyong thought, quickly shrugging it off as he reached for his phone and sneaked out, careful not to wake up his sleeping parents.

it was a short walk from his house to the park, about 10 minutes or so, which taeyong spent admiring the dead silence of the night. if there was one thing that the pink haired boy loved, it was the beautiful night sky. he loved stargazing, and he longed for someone to do it with.

too bad that won't happen any time soon.

he pulled out his phone to text donghyuck,

ttae.yong
where exactly should i meet u

hyucklee
uh
hold on

taeyong frowned. wasn't he supposed to know?

in a matter of 30 seconds, his phone signaled a new notification.

hyucklee
by the lake
pls be there

ttae.yong
yeah i'm almost there
see u

the pink haired boy kept walking on the familiar path that led up to the lake.

he soon saw a small light peeking out from behind a tree. as he approached, he made out thousands of them.

taeyong gasped as he saw countless led lights hung on a couple of trees, a blanket and what seemed like millions of flower petals scattered all over the place.

god, i wonder who this could be for-

'taeyong?'

the said male quickly averted his attention to the tall, dark figure who had just appeared. he felt his heart go completely insane as his eyes gradually started to get used to the dark and began recognizing the silhouette in front of him.

brown hair, dimples, flawless skin, perfect eyes...

...jung jaehyun.
