-If Only- Jaeyong

Chapter 3: Midnight Guest

Taeyong felt something heavy on top of him as he wiggled his way out and slowly opened his eyes. It was pitch black and the only sound he could hear was the soft breeze from the air con. He felt a sticky sensation as he pulled himself away from the sheets and grabbed his phone to check the time. 

2 a.m

Taeyong mentally groaned as he swallowed and felt his parched throat slightly chafe. He slowly stood up, not wanting to wake Yuta up and put his underwear and jeans on. He couldn't find his clothe anywhere as he grabbed the Yuta's hoodie and wore it. Opening the door slowly, Taeyong swiftly tiptoed downstairs into the kitchen. It was eerily quiet as everyone was sleeping so Taeyong tried his best to muffle any sounds. The previous act with Yuta left him sore as he winced at every step he took down the stairs. He turned the kitchen lights on as he headed towards the nearest cabinet and grabbed a cup.

Opening the fridge, Taeyong took a water bottle and poured himself a full cup to gulp it down as he felt the cool water soothe his dry throat. His eyes slowly flickered as it tried to adjust to the bright light after being in the dark for a long time. He jumped at the sound of a door opening upstairs as footsteps padded down the stairs. Just as he was about to check who it was, the person entered the kitchen.

"Oh Taeyong" Mr. Jung's low voice reverberated in the kitchen. 

Taeyong felt a shiver run down his spine and meekly nodded. 

"Hi Mr. Jung"

Jaehyun sighed as he grabbed the water bottle Taeyong set on the kitchen counter and gulped it down. Taeyong could see Jaehyun's  Adam's apple bobbing at each gulp as a small stream of water slipped out from the corner of his mouth and drenched his night wear. Taeyong couldn't stop staring at it as water dripped down his Adam's apple to his neck. He swiftly snapped out of the trance when he realized what he was doing.

"I thought I told you to call me Jaehyun" 

"Sorry I forgot" Taeyong quickly replied.

"It's fine"

Taeyong could finally see Jaehyun clearly as his eyes widened at the outfit. It was a simple black pajama set but the fabric was light as Taeyong could see the outline of his thighs and another certain body part. 

"So was that your first time?" 

"My first time?" Taeyong asked confused. 

"I heard it Taeyong" Jaehyun nonchalantly said as he sipped on the bottle of water.

Taeyong froze as he stared at Jaehyun, not knowing what to answer. 

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I was checking up on Yuta to see if he was home and I guess he was. All safe and sound" 

Taeyong felt like digging into a hole and hiding in there forever but he could only stand there as he burned in shame. 

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't notice that I was that loud" Taeyong stuttered out. 

"It's fine. I know Yuta could sometimes go a bit rough even though he's a caring person. He was like that since he was young"

"Have you dated anyone before him?" Jaehyun continued.

"Well I had a boyfriend in high school but it wasn't that serious or sincere" 

Jaehyun nodded and downed the whole water bottle, throwing it away.

Taeyong felt a question bothering him as he debated whether to ask or not. He decided to cautiously approach it as he asked:

"What about Yuta's mother?"

"What about it?" Jaehyun raised his eyebrows. 

" I mean like does she still contact with y-"

"No" Jaehyun's voice echoed in the kitchen. " She doesn't. I don't even know where she is now. She was out of the picture ever since Yuta was born."

Taeyong knew that by the tone of Jaehyun's  voice, he shouldn't pry more questions out of him. He just nodded understandingly as he headed towards the sink to wash his cup.

He heard shuffling footsteps behind him as he noticed a shadow looming behind him. 

"Just leave it there Taeyong. I'll wash it" 

"No it's fine. I'll do it" Taeyong persisted as he nodded.

Jaehyun didn't reply anything as he just watched his every move while Taeyong washed the cup and placed it back into the cabinet.  Taeyong could feel Jaehyun's eyes on him as he felt squirmy all over.

"So I'm going to head to bed now Mr-  uh I mean Jaehyun" 

Taeyong smiled at Jaehyun and swiftly darted up the stairs to avoid anymore conversations. He quickly climbed onto the bed as he snuggled into Yuta and accidently kicked his shin, waking him up.

"Mhmm yongie?" Yuta mumbled half-asleep as he pulled him in.  "What are you doing?"

"I just went down to grab a drink. It's nothing. Go back to sleep" Taeyong whispered as he rubbed Yuta's back. 

Yuta slowly drifted off to sleep again as Taeyong laid there wide awake in bed. He could feel his heart thumping fast from the previous interaction with Jaehyun. He knew he shouldn't be feeling what he was feeling. 

He felt guilty. 

Really guilty because Yuta is a great boyfriend to him and thinking of another person while being with him made Taeyong feel like a jerk. 

He squinted his eyes shut and casted all his thoughts away as he held Yuta's hands to calm himself down.
