CEO | JAEYONG

2

TAEYONG had left Jisung at Doyoungs, heading on his way to the cafe him and the other male would meet at. He still felt uneasy about everything though, overthinking once again about the 'what ifs.' He was worrying the whole morning, and throughout the evening which Jisung didn't fail to miss. He kept asking what was wrong with his dad, but Taeyong shrugged it off and said he was excited for Christmas. Jisung took it of course, being the young one he is, and let his father be. Taeyong felt guilty for lying to his own child, but he couldn't let Jisung know about such thing.

Finally arriving to the spot, he looks in the small building to see the man already sitting at a booth in the back. He quickly makes his way in, feeling guilty as the other had to wait.

"Sorry, did you wait long?" Taeyong says approaching the booth, and the talked to male raises his head.

"Not long at all." The honey sweet voice rang in his ears, and he sat down in front of the other.

Taking off his jacket, Taeyong sets it beside him. He then fixes his hair a little, and looks up to already meet eyes on him. Taeyong noticed the expensive clothes today as well, and thought of him as a business man. It was no match to his worn out jacket, his sweater, and his jeans.

"Anything you like to drink or eat from here?" Jaehyun asks the other, sliding over a small menu.

"I enjoy their cheesecake, and their pumpkin spice cappuccino." Taeyong says with a shy smile.

"I thought so. Busy day I suggest?" Jaehyun asks, gliding his hand through his hair.

"Well, when you have one kid it always seems busy." Taeyong jokes half heartedly.

"You must love him very much, what was his name?" Asks Jaehyun.

"Jisung." Taeyong replies, the name sliding off his tongue ever so easily. "And yes, I do."

"Well Taeyong, how about we get to know each other better."

They spent the whole night talking to each other about one another, and Taeyong had never felt so comfortable with someone. It was taken a surprise by even him, and didn't think he'd be this friendly.

He found out that Jaehyun was a CEO, which made him rethink a lot of things. In the end, Jaehyun told him to just act like friends, and Taeyong complied; erasing the formals. Jaehyun was much higher than him in society rank, and that's what Taeyong was impressed by the most. He wanted such a job, but he was never fit for one. Meeting one was a whole other experience, and Taeyong almost felt selfish as he didn't want this night to end.

Talking a lot, Taeyong told little. He told Jaehyun about his job, and a lot about Jisung. Jaehyuns looks proved that he was listening closely, and Taeyong was careful because of this. In the end he left out his whole past, and just talked about his dreams for the future.

The cafe was closing soon, and they walked outside together finishing their drinks. The snow was falling slowly, and there was no wind. Taeyong looks up at Jaehyun, almost shyly.

"Thank you, for tonight." Taeyong whispers.

"Of course, I hope to do it again soon." Jaehyun says. "And maybe find out the real you."

Taeyong is taken back by this, and looks up giving a questioning look. Jaehyun only displays a smile, and gives a light laugh.

"Everything you told me was done thoughtfully, your holding something back." Jaehyun explains, and Taeyong presses his lips in a straight line. "It's okay however, I respect your personal life." Jaehyun says politely.

"Thank you." Taeyong says softly.

"But if you need anything, or anyone, you have my number." Jaehyun adds, and gives a smile before turning around and walking away.

"See ya Tae!" Jaehyun yells behind him.

"See you!" Taeyong yells after him.

He watches Jaehyun walk away, the man not turning around as he went forward. Taeyong thought about what Jaehyun had told him, and looks down at the snow.

'He knows.' Taeyong thinks to himself, realizing Jaehyun sees straight through him.

It almost made him giddy, but fear overcame that quickly. If Jaehyun was ever to know about his past, he'd sure have blackmail on Taeyong. Taeyong didn't want that, and didn't know if he trusted the said male yet.

He may feel comfortable, safe, happy, and butterflies around the other, but after his last relationship he didn't think so proudly. He had to be cautious with things like these, especially when he had Jisung.

He'd try his hardest for now, to keep his secret, but in the end he knew there would be time to give up all his sins. For now though, he'd protect his baby for as long as he could, and give him a future he never had.

For now, he'd distrust Jung Jaehyun.

"So, What your saying is you might have fallen for a man with a child?" A man asks, all in black as he sits in front of a desk.

"When you put it that way it sounds dumb, but yes." Jaehyun mumbles, crossing his arms.

"Well, what do you plan to do?" The man asks, lifting an eyebrow.

"That's the problem, I don't know." Jaehyun admits.

"Well, you can't just break up with your girlfriend and start going out with another. Especially a man." The man explains.

"I know that Johnny, but then again I was forced into it. They should've known I dislike women." Jaehyun thinks for a moment. "You just have to trust me you'll keep this a secret."

"I promise I won't tell anyone, but this is dangerous. Your career could be on the line if your not careful." Johnny warns.

"You don't think I know that either?" Jaehyun raises his voice in frustration.

"I'm just warning you Jae, this is a risky path to take right now." Johnny softens his voice.

Jaehyun stares at his closed laptop, giving a heavy sigh.

"I know, and I'll be careful. Your dismissed." Jaehyun says, and Johnny nods as he walks out of the office.

Jaehyun turns around in his chair, looking outside his large window overlooking Seoul. A certain person coming into image, he thinks of him. Taeyong thought he missed it, but he didn't. Taeyong failed to miss his glances down at his right hand, which had a large scar across it. As if something was dragged across the skin at stake. He also noticed the scar under his eye, and Taeyong failed to hide that as well.

He didn't know why, but he's taken interest in someone he barely knows. It wasn't normal for him to do so, so he thought of it as fate almost. He was also attracted to the other male, and felt a string of bond pull at his heart the first time he saw him. The blue curly hair, the slim face, the plump lips, the doe looking eyes, the innocent look, it was all there.

He wanted it all. All to himself.

"I'll get it out of you Taeyong." Jaehyun whispers to himself, staring down at the city below. "One way or another."
