CEO | JAEYONG

5

TAEYONG was excited, beyond excited. Jaehyun hasn't talked to him in a while, but texted him tonight to meet him at the local cafe. Taeyong had never been so quick to get ready and get out of the house. He left Jisung with a note, who was sleeping. Taeyong decided not to bring him for his own reasons, and felt giddy. Taeyong couldn't help himself, he hadn't seen Jaehyun in 2 days and for him that was too long.

Walking quickly to the cafe, it was lightly snowing. Taeyong soon saw Jaehyun covered in all black with a mask, and could recognize him because of his build and hair, Taeyong had recognized it by heart almost. Approaching the other, Taeyong was quick to notice the others sly appearance. Jaehyun didn't look up at him, or even say hi to him.

Nobody was walking in the streets, and no cars were passing as it was too icy. It was quiet, and it was making Taeyong anxious.

"Jaehyun, what's wrong?" Taeyong whispers, staring at the other.

"I have to tell you something Tae." Jaehyun says lowly.

"Is it bad? Are you okay?" Taeyong is quick to panic, as he always has been.

"We can't see each other anymore." Jaehyun states, and Taeyong is taken back in surprise.

"W-What? What do you mean?" Taeyong asks, looking at the other in disbelief.

"I can't see you anymore, and we can't meet up. I'm sorry." Jaehyun says quickly, and turns around to leave.

Taeyong is quick to stop him as he grabs his arm, almost desperately.

"Wait Jaehyun! You can't just leave! Tell me what's wrong, we can fix this!" Taeyong pleads, jerking the others arm to stay.

"There's nothing to fix!" Jaehyun raises his voice and Taeyong flinches.

Jaehyun turns around to face the other, but is quick to regret his action as he sees those tears eyes. Taeyong was on the verge of tears, and he was the one who made him do it.

"Jaehyun, no— you don't understand! I—I thought we had something—" Taeyong chokes on his words and is now shaking.

Taeyong is on the verge of having a anxiety attack at this moment, watching the other wanting to leave in his grasp. It was just like his ex, it was just like how he left him. It was horrible, painful, and Taeyong regretted every second of it. He didn't want anyone else to leave, and yet here he is, pleading for Jaehyun to stay. He thought he would never have to do this again, and yet his fate just seemed to backfire on everything.

"Taeyong—" Jaehyun speaks almost too soon as he sees the others pain. He quickly is angered, and grits his teeth. "We didn't have anything!" Jaehyun yells, and rips his grasp from Taeyongs shaky hands.

Taeyong is somewhat jerked forward at the force, and he looks up at Jaehyun in complete fear. A sudden face comes to mind, and he is quick to have the same fear from years ago. Taeyongs eyes widen, and he staggers back. Jaehyun panics at this, reaching his hand out for the other.

"Don't touch me!" Taeyong cries, and smacks Jaehyuns hand away with force.

Jaehyun is taken back by the sudden outburst and change in attitude. He stares at Taeyong, and realizes just how much fear is held within those eyes.

"Your just like him! Your just like him!" Taeyong yells, and Jaehyun furrows his eyebrows in confusion.

"Taeyong what—" Jaehyun tries to reach for the other, but the other shoves him back.

"Don't come near me!" Taeyong yells, and makes eye contact with the other.

Jaehyun could see the pain from the rear stained face, and the puffiness that would be there next morning. He could see the others breath shorten and was uneven. He regrets it as he feels a low pain in his heart that spreads through his body. He regrets it.

"I never want to see your face again Jung Jaehyun!" Taeyong cries, and turns around swiftly as he runs the other way.

Jaehyun is left standing there, in front of the cafe. He stares down at the ground, hearing the running footsteps disappear from his hearing. He feels his eyes sting all the sudden, and a single tear drop falls. He grits his teeth as he clenches in hand in fist.

'He didn't deserve it.' Jaehyun thinks to himself.

"You didn't deserve it Taeyong." He whispers under his breath. "And I don't deserve you."
