SUN ( Jaehyun/ Taeyong)

62

* 2 days before *

When Taeyong woke up it was already past 3pm. It felt good to sleep for so long. He needed it. He didn't know what happened the previous night. All he remembered was feeling alone, texting Jaehyun and then the younger boy called him. When he did so, Taeyong proceed to cry a little and then asked Jaehyun to sing for him. His last memory was Jaehyun's sweet voice and a very warm feeling.

He got up from his hotel bed and looked at the mirror. "Taeyong, you're a mess... Cheer up!" he said to himself. Taeyong ran his fingers through his hair, putting on a different shirt right away.

He was about to order lunch when his phone started ringing. Taeyong was looking everywhere for it. It was place on his pillow so he ran to the bed and saw Jaehyun's name. Jaehyun was calling him.

He sat down before picking up the call. "Hey Jaehyunie!"

"hey!! How are you?"

"I'm fine, thank you. What about you?"

Even if Jaehyun was on the other side of the line, Taeyong could feel his smile. "I'm great..."

"That's nice."

"Where are you now?"

"Me? Well, I just woke up actually. I'm still in my room.." he laughed and lay back on his bed, staring at roof. "I was about to order lunch."

Jaehyun giggled. "Well, order it for two then."

"Huh?" what nonsense was Jaehyun talking about. "I don't think I'm following you now" Taeyong laughed.

"Well, could you please text me the hotel's location. I'm heading there now."

What was he talking about? Was Jaehyun in Hong Kong??? What? Why?

"Wait, are you here?" Taeyong tried to sound confident and not stressed but he couldn't hide that he was excited that Jaehyun had come all the way to Hong Kong to meet him.

Jaehyun laughed at Taeyong's failed attempt of trying to be cool. "I was thinking about it last night and it wouldn't be fair to just call you when you were so down so I went for option two."

Taeyong just stared at the ceiling trying his best to hide his smile. He decided to not give a fuck and whispered a soft "What did I do to deserve you?" after saying it out loud Taeyong was secretly hoping Jaehyun didn't hear what he had said. But the giggle Jaehyun let him hear confirmed that he had heard his whisper.

"Hurry up, Tae. Text me and I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Alright, Jaehyunie."

"Okay."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything you like it's fine."

"See ya in a minute."

"See ya."

Taeyong quickly got up from the bed, shared the location with the younger boy and proceed with ordering lunch. He didn't know what Jaehyun liked to eat, but he decided to play safe and ordered a pizza for both of them. He realized he was wearing nothing but a shirt and his underwear so he decided to wash up and wear new clothes. He was nervous about meeting Jaehyun. Not only he didn't forget Johnny's words, but he was afraid of actually starting to have feelings for his friend. It was normal, right? Jaehyun would text him all the time, he would make sure Taeyong was safe and he even flew to another country to be with Taeyong. All those things were impossible to be unnoticed. On top of that, Jaehyun was so hot.

Minutes later, there was a loud knock on the door. Taeyong ran to the door in hopes Jaehyun would be there already, (un) fortunely it was their lunch. Taeyong payed for the pizza and wished the man a good day. He was about to close the door when someone touched his shoulder. "Is that our lunch?"

Jaehyun. Jaehyun was there already.

"Oh, Jaehyunie" Taeyong opened the door and they both entered the hotel room. It was risky to be outside together, in case someone saw them.

His heart was beating like crazy and he couldn't even process what he was doing. He just placed the pizza on a small table across the room and wrapped his arms around Jaehyun. He just let all his problems go as he hugged the younger boy. At first he felt Jaehyun tensing up. He was about to let him go when he felt the other's arms wrapping around his waist and pulling him closer. Jaehyun smelled like roses. But he also smelled like home. "Are you okay?" Jaehyun placed his hand on Taeyong's hair caressing it carefully. The older boy did nothing, just buried his face deeper into Jaehyun's chest. "Tae?"

"Thank you for coming here."

"How could I not come here when you needed me?" Jaehyun giggled and hugged the older boy tighter. Taeyong got lost in that scent. Jaehyun was so warm. So safe. How could he not be interested in the younger boy.... Maybe it was okay to let himself fall.

Taeyong let him go, watching Jaehyun pout as they pulled apart. "Thank you, anyways"

The younger boy sat down on Taeyong's bed and smiled. "You're welcome."

After showing a big smile, Taeyong clapped his hands and opened the pizza's box. "Shall we eat? I'm starving!"

"Yeaaah, me too"

They both set two plates on the table and sat down in front of each other, ready to enjoy lunch. Jaehyun grabbed a slice and put it on Taeyong' s plate. "Eat up, you have a concert tonight."

He took a bite, staring at Jaehyun who had already started to eat his own slide. " Are you coming to the concert?"

Jaehyun nodded. "Of course I am..."

"You know, I was thinking about this the other day and we should sing a song together for your channel!" Jaehyun stopped chewing. He widened his eyes and stared at his friend. Taeyong just kept on eating and playing innocent. Jaehyun blushed. 

" Would you really do that?" he whispered. Taeyong just nodded. "Wow, that would be soooo cool..."

"I know that's why I suggested it."

Jaehyun smiled so hard he thought his dimples would pop off his face. He just couldn't believe a couple months ago Taeyong was just someone on the other side of the screen. He couldn't believe he was now offering himself to sing a song WITH HIM for his humble channel. Not only that but Jaehyun was so confused about all these mixed feelings. He didn't know if it was okay for his heart to flutter so much around Taeyong. He still didn't know if he was in fanboy mode or if that was real. Everything felt like a dream. But if it was a dream, he didn't want to wake up. "Jaehyunie? Do you know you look cute when you blush?"

The younger boy brought his hands to his face and touched his hot cheek. Why was he embarrassing himself in front of his....idol? friend? perhaps crush? Why was he doing that when Taeyong just called him cute ? It was okay, right? 

"Am I cute just when I blush?"

Taeyong, avoid eye contact and Jaehyun smiled. He was blushing as well. "N-no..."

"Alright, that's nice," Jaehyun giggled, staring at Taeyon who met his eyes again. "Taeyong?"

"hm?"

"Finish your food. It will be cold soon."

Taeyong knew that what he was feeling inside was not what he felt for any  of his friends. He had felt this before. He had felt somehow like this before, only this time it was a little bit better. It was Jaehyun. He wouldn't break his heart even if he didn't like him back, right? 

Jaehyun would never break his heart.
