CEO | JAEYONG

6

TAEYONG arrived home, slowly but surely he walked in his small apartment and went to his room. He didn't know why, or how Jaehyun said such harshful things to him just moments ago. His words rang in Taeyongs mind as he sat on his bed. He thought about how Jaehyun told him he was 'beautiful' and how he would compliment him everyday. Taeyong couldn't bring himself to believe it was all lies, he was in denial. Jaehyun was suppose to be the one, and yet he wasn't.

Taeyong should've known, and he should've listened to his instinct whenever they told him Jaehyun was bad news. He should've told Jaehyun 'no' that night, he shouldn't of gotten up with such joy that morning. He shouldn't of done any of it, and yet he did, and in the end he was lied too.

In the end it was all lies. In the end he was betrayed, and left alone to survive in the world. Again. A face flashed in Taeyongs mind, and he almost flinched at it. He could feel a shiver run down his spine, and he gritted his teeth not so tightly.

How could he have been so fooled so easily? It was all games, the smiles, the laughs, the love. It was all just one big game to everyone, and Taeyong was the toy. He was the prize everyone won in the end and didn't want. How could he have been so stupid to let his heart open again.

"Daddy?" A voice rings from beyond the door as Taeyong snaps his head up, and it slowly opens to reveal a tired looking boy.

"Jisung, what are you doing up?" Taeyong whispers, and he didn't mean to sound so strict but he did.

"When the door closed it woke me." Jisung explains quietly, walking towards his father.

Taeyong watches as his son climbs onto his bed, and sits next to him. Silence filled around them as Taeyong didn't know what to say, he felt a sudden urge though to just tell Jisung everything.

"Jaehyuns not coming over anymore, is he?" Jisung asks with sadness toned in his voice.

"No. . He's not." Taeyong whispers, staring down at the floor below where he sat.

Taeyong then looks over at Jisung, and stares at his helplessly. How stupid of him to think that he could take care of a human being, non the less alone. No help, no money, no relationship. He had everything he didn't want.

"Jisung go pack, your gonna stay at Doyoungs for awhile." Taeyong says, and brings a hand up to tame his sons soft hair.

Jisung looks up with big doe eyes and he pouts, almost pleading with his face to take back the words Taeyong just said.

"I don't wanna go daddy, I wanna stay here. With you." Jisung pleads softly, and he comes close as wraps his tiny arms around Taeyong.

Taeyong felt tears brim his eyes slowly, and he curses in his mind. He couldn't keep his son halfway happy most of the time from the trauma he's been through. It was the only way for Jisung not to see his one side he hated most. Taeyong wraps his thin arms around the other boy, feeling the other almost shake in his grasp.

"Please Jisung, don't fight with me. It won't be long, I promise." Taeyong knew he couldn't promise it, but he did anyway.

He knew it would be long, it would almost be a round two. Only this time it was him against himself, and he only knew one way how to stop it. That way was always risky, always a failure, and he would've kept on doing it if it wasn't for Doyoung. He wouldn't tell Doyoung this time however, and gave up on trying to get help because it seemed nothing was working to fix him. He was alone now, and he knew Jisung would be too if he kept on like this.
