~The Move to Korea~

8.

Luckily Taeyong wasn't back yet so I went straight into my closet. I grab undergarments and comfy house-wear and put them on before Taeyong came in. I grab my phone and plop down and plug in my earbuds.Taeyong comes in with all black, black shirt and sweatpants, including his damp red hair. I fix my hair into my usual bun and laid back down.

'Li, are you home?'

'Yes, why?'

'It's 2 o'clock so Lisa and her friends are coming over along with

Ten, Mark, Jeno and me'

'What time?'

'in 40 minutes'

'Why'

'You skipped school with Taeyong'

'So?'

'Why?'

"Xai?" Taeyong questioned.

"Yeah?"

"Why did you cry..at the cliff?"

"Oh that...um..I-I have personal things..um..secrets. That's all," I explained and he sat next to me.

"Tell me. I'm here for you,"

"Later okay?" I say ruffling his hair as I stood up.

With that I walked out of my room and go downstairs to the kitchen. I got some ramen for both of us and when they were done I walked back upstairs to Taeyong. When I walked to him he grabbed both bowls of ramen and placed them on the nightstand.

"Hey?!"

"I want to know everything, tell me,"

"No, Taeyong. Please understand that I don't want to talk about it right now,"

"Come on Xai, Why not?"

"I..Just can't. I guess I could say that it's about my father and school,"

"How can it be worse than mine?"

"Abuse, Self-Harm, Drugs, Alcohol and that type of stuff,"

"Well..I guess yours IS worse than mine,"

"I just..don't..um..trust you I guess,"

"Why?"

"That's why I don't want to tell you," I say as I look down.

"Are you scared that I might judge you? Did you do something bad or..?"

"I guess I'm not ready for this. I'm sorry for about loving you," I say as I put my hands to my face and start to cry.

"Don't cry please. There is nothing to cry about I promise,"

"Why? What happens if we..spread apart..and you end up telling everyone my past?" I question.

"I would not let that happen to...us,"

"Tae ~" I say and pull him closer and jump into his lap.

Taeyong brings his hand up my back and with the other he presses our heads together and kisses me.

"Li...um well okay," Someone says and we look over to see Mark and Ten.

"Guys...um,"

"We will just leave you guys," Ten smirked and they both left.

I look back at Taeyong and pull and few strands of hair behind my ear. I push off of him in embarrassment and look away.

"Well..that was awkward,"

"Ya think?"

"Why are they here though?"

"Oh..shit! Lucas is here. I forgot,"

"How come no one told me?"

"I said I forgot about it," I say and got up from the bed.

I was thinking about what happened 40 minutes earlier so I was unable to hear what Taeyong said.

"LI!" Someone yelled.

"Huh? What" I said snapping out of my thoughts.

I look at Taeyong who is looking at the door with a cold stare that was surprising coming for a sweet person like him. I slowly turned my head towards the door where Lucas stood. I raised my eyebrow at him in confusion.

"What do you want?" Taeyong said flatly.

'Leave'

'I'll wait downstairs'

Once Lucas left and closed my door Taeyong dropped down to his cute self and smiled.

"Remember...you are mine," Taeyong whispered as he hugged me.

"Of course," I said taking his empty bowl.

I reach the bottom of the stairs and head to the kitchen. I put the dishes in the dishwasher and go out to the pool.

Everyone was there like Lucas said but I quickly ran back upstairs to my room. Taeyong looked at me with a worried look on his face. I put my finger to my lips and walk over to my bathroom. I feel my wall for a quick second and pressed down and suddenly my bathroom door closed. After a moment the door opened revealing a mini music studio. Taeyong's eyes went big and walked over to me.

"Wanna sing? I asked

"Yeah," Taeyong responded.

I took his hand and went inside of the room and closed the door behind me.

"Can you sing Location by Khalid?"

"Yeah,"

Taeyong and I went up to the microphones and played the song on my phone. We sang songs together and solo and them on record. After about 14 songs we stopped singing and walked back into my room.

"Your voice is so amazing,"

"Thanks TY," I say as I sit on my couch.
