Taeyong was very, very stressed. Everything that was happening affected him the most, since he saw himself as the leader of their group.
Ever since Taeil got shot, things started to go downhill again. Yuta looked like a zombie, since he barely slept. The boy was pale just like Taeil and Taeyong felt like Yuta was about to collapse. All members already had their mental breakdowns, excluding Yuta, Mark and Taeyong himself.
But discovering that Doyoung went out in the evening and still wasn't back made him freak out. Taeyong felt like he lost control and he hated that feeling. He absolutely despised it, knowing that he couldn't do anything.
And that was what pushed him over the edge, feeling tears coming he ran towards the bathroom locking himself up. Soon he started to cry his eyes out, sobs getting louder and louder.
All the members slept through it, expect from Jaehyun who walked passed the bathroom to get some water. He stopped once he heard Taeyong and he immediately started knocking on the door.
Taeyong may look intimidating, but deep down he was very fragile. Building up walls to keep everything out making sure he wouldn't get hurt, but now the walls were slowly started to break. And Taeyong broke with them.
"Taeyong? It's me Jaehyunnie, open the door please", he whispered softly. Scared that if he would talk any louder, he would scare the other away. The door slowly opened, revealing Taeyong with red eyes and messy hair. Without saying a word the two boys hugged each other as Jaehyun lifted the older up.
Walking into the living room, he immediately sat down on the couch. Taeyong buried his head in Jaehyun's neck and the younger played with his hair, knowing it would calm the other down. After a long silence Taeyong finally spoke up, voice barely audible.
"Everything is a mess", he whispered softly. Jaehyun didn't say a thing and waited for Taeyong to continue talking. "Nothing makes sense anymore, Donghyuck alive, Taeil maybe dead, Doyoung missing and Sicheng back".
"I really wanna see Donghyuck and Sicheng again, but they both left us back then. Left us in the dark and the only way for us to see again, was to start a fire. We can't just stop the fire and go back to how it used to be anymore. It's a mad world Jae, and we're part of it".
Jaehyun nodded softly, he knew that everything Taeyong just said was true. Out of NCT 127 he understood Taeyong the best, they were the closest. Looking at Taeyong made his heart flutter, seeing Taeyong cry made him upset. Whatever would happen, they got each other's back. If Taeyong wanted to kill everyone, Jaehyun would help him. If Taeyong wanted to run away, Jaehyun would go with him. And the boy knew that it was the exact same way around.
"It's okay, everything is going to be just fine as long as we're together", he whispered into Taeyong's ear. The latter mumbled a soft 'thank you' and the room became silent again. The sobs stopped and soft snores were heard. Jaehyun smiled fondly at the other and kissed the top of his head.
"I love you Taeyong, I really do."
