Let Me Love U /Jaeyong/

🎄Chapter 29🎄

After the party Jaehyun told Taeyong, that he'll be home really late, because he needed to take Yeri to the airport. Her parents were spending Christmas in Switzerland that year, and she was going to stay with her family.

Jaehyun offered Taeyong to join them but the older refused, saying that he wants the couple to spend time alone together. Yuta decided to walk his best friend home, since it was already very late.

Yuta and Taeyong talked the whole time on their way home. They remembered the old days, their life in the small apartment Yuta owned and how they managed to ruin the washing machine and had a mountain of dirty clothes after a week.

- So, you're now in love with your roommate, huh?

Taeyong groaned, leaned his head back and covered his face with his hands.

- I am. And I hate it. I'm trying to keep my distance from him but whenever I think I'm finally succeeding he comes closer to me. Both physically and emotionally.

- Maybe he also has...

- No, nope. He's in love with Yeri. He really is.

- Oh, so that girl he was with, was his girlfriend. I thought it was his sister.

Taeyong playfully punched Yuta's shoulder and the Japanese male laughed.

- But jokes aside, they really didn't seem like a couple to me.

- What would make you consider them as a couple? Jaehyun not letting anyone touch her and biting her ear?

- Are you hinting at me and Sicheng?

- I am.

- I bet you wish he did the same to you.

- I do! So much!- Taeyong whined,- And I can't do anything about it.

- You can move out from his place and come live at our huge ass house.

- I'll still see him everyday at work.

- You can quit your job and babysit the three devils. We'll pay.

- There's no way I'm taking money from you. You've already helped me enough, dude.

- Then you find another job and still live with us.

Taeyong went silent for a while trying to think of a reason to disagree. In the end he just replied:

- But in that case I'll miss him so much!

Yuta kicked Taeyong's butt, the older holding it with both hands and looking at his friend in shock.

- What was that for?!

- For lying to me, you dickhead! I thought you wanted to forget him but in reality you want him to love you,- Yuta said making the "love" part longer.

- Oh shut up, Nakamoto.

- Listen here, my friend. We're gonna make him break up with that adorable girfriend of his and fall in love with you, okay?

- No, it's not okay, Yuta! I'm not doing that!

- You seemed quite enthusiastic when you tried to break that Bacon and Chanel guys up.

- It's Baekhyun and Chanyeol and I was way younger and way more stupid, than I am now.

Yuta scoffed and put his hand on Taeyong's shoulder:

- Believe me, dear Yong, you're still as stupid as you were before, you're just hella old now.

This time it was Yuta's turn to earn a kick on his butt.

- OUCH!

- Stop being such a drama queen as if you're not used to ass pain.

- Actually no, I'm not...but Sicheng is.

- Oh my god, really?

Yuta nodded and they went silent for a while.

- Shit, I missed you so much, dickhead,- Yuta said, putting his arm around Taeyong's neck and ruffling his hair with his fist.

- I missed you too you perv.

- You know, that you're always welcome in our house, right? With problems or without.

- Thanks, man. You're also welcome to our place. Jaehyun is also looking forward to the two of you coming over, so we should talk about that some time.- they arrived at Taeyong's shared apartment and stopped in front of the building,- you wanna come up?

- Nah, dude, I have to go back to Winwinnie... And the three idiots. But I promise, we will visit you really soon.

The two friends hugged and Taeyong opened the door to enter the building.

- Hey, thanks for all the presents, Nakamoto.

- I'm also very grateful to them, Yong. Good luck with your love life,- Yuta raised his fist as if saying "fighting" and left.

Taeyong went upstairs, opened the door and entered the empty apartment. He didn't like the feeling of emptiness at all. Of course, he has been in the apartment without Jaehyun before but the younger usually came home from work before ten o'clock so Taeyong was never alone at a late hour like this. It reminded him of his days in the house in front of the restaurant.

"Ew, those were some shitty days."

Taeyong changed to his pajamas and made some popcorn to eat while watching something on TV before sleeping.

He switched the TV on and started changing channels with the remote control. He found a film, which kinda looked interesting and started watching it.

Taeyong suddenly heard a noise, which was definitely from outside. He calmed himself down, saying, that there's no way anyone could appear in the house but that didn't help.

Taeyong was still afraid, so he went to Jaehyun's bedroom on his tiptoes and took a look if anybody was there. Obviously, there was no one but Taeyong still felt worried. He needed something to calm himself down and looked around the younger's room.

He then took the first thing, that came up to his mind- Jaehyun's pillow, which smelled like the younger and went back to the living room.

Taeyong sat back on the couch, hugging the pillow and smelling it every once in a while, because, even if it sounds weird, the younger's scent made him calmer.

The door opened and Jaehyun went in, finding Taeyong on the couch, in his cute pajamas, popcorn and big pillow. Jaehyun chuckled at the older and went to the living room.

- Hey, Tae. Why aren't you asleep?

"Well, because, Jae, without you I don't feel safe anymore...no wait...I can't say that."

- Because I wasn't sleepy.

- Oh, okay. What are you watchi... Is that my pillow?

Taeyong blushed and hid his face in Jaehyun's pillow.

"Fuck, this smells so good."

- You can keep it if you need it. I'll use a new one.

- Mhm, thanks.

- Can I join you?

Taeyong nodded and opened his blanket for Jaehyun to come under it.

- Do you want some tea? I'll make us some tea.

Taeyong nodded and Jaehyun went to the kitchen. He waited for the water to boil, made the tea for his roommate and himself and went back to the living room. He found Taeyong already sleeping on the couch, hugging his pillow looking like a baby.

This reminded him of the older days, when Taeyong just came to his house. He came closer to the younger and kissed his warm hair before going to his bedroom. He drank the two cups of tea and fell asleep.
