Jae's lonely life seems stable and dull until he finds out his son has run away from his boyfriend to fulfill some mysterious plan that might break two people meant to be or bring two back together.
Jaemin had told him to meet in a restaurant down the street from his hotel so Renjun was dressing up in the best clothes he had brought. He was nervous, was it a date, was it an appointment set to to tell him what he had done was unforgivable. Renjun was watching his mirror reflection hoping he looked decent enough to make Jaemin consider taking him back. The evening was warm, a humid heat was coming through the window he had left open.
"Dalli do I look ok?" he asked the sheep that was seated on the couch.
"I have to make him become my boyfriend again, I need him so so much," whispered Renjun walking to the sheep kissing her.
Will Jaemin be mad if he just falls over him and kisses him hello? He could at least try, as he was missing Jaemin's lips on his like crazy.
"Bye Dalli, wish me luck," he whispered cuddling into the sheep before lying her back, but his phone rang, the caller was Jae. Renjun hasn't been calling his father since that crazy anniversary party had started, Jae must have been crazy from worry.
"Hi, hi Jae, sorry I had forgotten to call," he whispered pressing the conversation.
"How could you!" asked Jae his voice was sharp.
"What?"
"How could you ask Taeyong to come hefe! What have you thought! Have you thought at all! How should I feel!" shouted Jae when Renjun's insides froze.
"I... I hoped.. and Daddy has come to see you?" he asked, the fear mixing with hope.
"Don't call him like that, he's not youf dad anymofe! I have cleafed the stuff with the lawyefs ages ago, you'fe not his son anymofe!" Jae was shouting when Renjun's heart started to bet loudly.
"What?" he asked, Jae has never told him that he has cancelled the adoption for Taeyong, was his Daddy Tae not his Daddy Tae anymore, not in the eyes of the law.
"But... but Jae I... I've just found my Daddy again and... we talked and cleared up stuff," he tried.
"Fenjun afe you insane! The man had huft you, abandoned you, nevef accepted youf sexuality, has fuined youf felationship with Jaemin. I'm fofbidding you to evef evef contact him again! You undefstand me!" shouted Jae.
"Jae please!" Renjun felt cold tears rolling down his cheeks. "Please don't be mad. I love you and Daddy Tae, please let me spend time with him again I have missed him."
"Fenjun no! No! Pfomise me you will nevef contact him again. Can you pfomise me?"
"Ok Jae, ok," Renjun sniffed.
"Ok," Jae definitely had no idea what too say so he just ended the call when a silence filled the room.
Renjun was sobbing the pain breaking out inside him so abruptly he fell on the floor screaming. No, not again, please not again, he was begging grabbing Dalli pressing her to his body when he curled up on the carpet giving out quiet wincing sounds. It continued for ages, just silence and pain until his phone rang again, so he use his last strength to press the loudspeaker inhaling sharply.
"Renjun, I'm in the restaurant were are you?" it was Jaemin his voice a little sharp.
Renjun was just clenching his teeth to not to give out any sound.
"Renjun... is everything ok?"
"I'm dying Jaemin," he whispered.
"Where are you?"
"In my room."
"What number?"
"2...1...2...7," he stuttered.
"I'm on my way, but you have to open the door once I'm there."
"I can't, I can't move from the floor."
"You're brave enough to do it, a few moments and I'm there."
Jaemin's voice faded in the phone when Renjun sighed loudly.
Jaemin should actually hate him for being so useless, always weak and sick, always going back to the same nightmare. Why hasn't he left him through all those years, why wasn't he fed up of this continuing horrifying nonsense.
Renjun sat up shivering like crazy, the pain was so sharp, so he needed all his will-strength to crawl to the door, although Jaemin should know he should be lain still as this movement will just quicken his death for sure.
There was a light knock on the other side when he pulled the door knob supporting himself on the wall managing to open it enough for Jaemin to get in when Renjun laid down flat on the floor shivering even more.
"Junie hey! Hey I'm here, it's ok I'm here, shhh," Jaemin laid this warm hand on his back. Come" He tried to pull him up but Renjun refused.
So Jaemin sat down on the floor placing something on the carpet right next to him, Renjun raised his eyes open to see a beautiful red rose, Jaemin might have bought for him. Was it a date, actually?
"Here right," asked Jaemin pulling his shirt a little up, his palm lying on Renjun's tummy like calming on a wound.
"Calm down I'm here ok, I love you Junie," Jaemin leaned down to kiss his cheek in a wet way. Renjun felt the pain releasing so suddenly he was stunned.
"Please don't leave me," he whispered watching Jaemin.
"I'm not going anywhere, I told you I have forgiven you," Jaemin smiled in a tired way when he pulled Renjun up bridal style. Renjun was hooding to him when Jaemin carried him to the couch lying him down on it, then sat down next to him his palm caressing over Renjun's belly again.
"Try to relax ok, I'm here, you can even sleep," whispered Jaemin when Renjun was watching him realizing his boyfriend has never been that beautiful, or was it just the milky light playing in his ash brown hair, the sun kissed skin tone, the dark eyes watching him.
"I love you," he said caressing over Jaemin's palm on his belly.
