pacman [DAY6 JAE]

-five-

"over and over like it's red rover
will your games ever be through"

jae was so uncomfortable seated at the dinner table with his girlfriend and her dad. but where else would he be given the opportunity of a luxury lifestyle like this?

he smiled at every comment and tried to maintain his posture. but then he would think of eaj and it'll suddenly get more difficult to contain himself.
just a few more minutes. he constantly reminded himself.
"so what do you want to do fulltime?"
"music." it slipped out of jae's lips because it was the truth and he was used to saying it.
she immediately poked his side. "i don't think he means that, dad."
jae could've given an excuse as well but he wasn't giving in this time. he rolled his eyes and looked away. then he was caught off guard by the glass cup in front of him. it wasn't his reflection, it was eaj with a hoodie on.
that's what he wanted the most. comfy clothes. the fancy tux didn't suit him one bit.

"music?? it's already so hard for him to accept us dating but you said music?? how do you expect me to fix that?!"
it was becoming the norm. she always yelled at him, he always apologized.
"i'm sorry, i'm just used to giving that as a response."
"you could've corrected yourself then-"
"i'm sorry, i'm sorry." he pulled her into a hug. they were standing right next to her fancy car.
it could be his any time soon.  he wanted to smile but he got distracted by his reflection.
sigh.
"get in." she broke the hug and pressed the automatic keys to unlock the car doors.
he got into the passenger side and she drove off to take him home.
