hide ϟ jaeyong

chp. 4

''Ugh, you're so annoying,'' Yuta huffed, pushing Taeyong off the armrest. ''And no, I'm not an asshole-'', he ignored Taeyong's unconvinced stare, ''- Johnny has a cute friend called Sicheng, actually. I'm gonna go for him. I heard he's pretty cute too, which is surprising because he looks chic as fuck.''

''Never heard of him,'' Taeyong confessed.

''Not surprised,'' Yuta laughed. ''I bet you don't even know Jaehyun.''

Taeyong perked up at the mention of Jaehyun. ''I know Jaehyun!''

Yuta averted his eyes from the cracked ceiling to Taeyong. ''You do? Really?''

''Yeah, I bumped into him yesterday morning. He's kind of an ass.''

''Seriously?'' Yuta sat up, eyes making it clear he's curious. His eyes suddenly had a doubtful glint. ''Are you sure we're talking about the same Jaehyun?''

''Yeah, Jung Jaehyun, right?'' Jaehyun hadn't told him Taeyong about his surname but that hadn't stopped Taeyong from searching up hs Instagram. It hadn't been too hard, surprisingly- Jaehyun had a pretty big following with 46K followers, almost as big as Taeyong's following who had a following of 53K. Taeyong did modeling often for money and posting the photos on Instagram had gained him a lot of followers. He guessed Jaehyun was also like that, as the man didn't have too bad of a face himself.

And by not too bad of a face, Taeyong meant he was one of the hottest men he'd ever met.

''You know,'' Yuta, narrowed his eyes at Taeyong. ''If you just bumped into Jaehyun, you wouldn't know his name, let alone his full name. Tell me what happened.''

Taeyong started to panic. He couldn't drop any hints on where he worked because if he accidentally let one slip, Yuta would figure out immediately, being the clever person he is.

''U-um, well,'' Taeyong's face started getting more and more red. ''I bumped into him in the morning. I went to practice after. I went to the grocery store after practice and a creepy dude tried to, you know-'' Yuta nodded, signaling him to go on. ''And Jaehyun was there. He saved me from the dude, basically.''

Yuta pursed his lips. Taeyong knew he wasn't fooling anybody, but he hoped Yuta would let it pass.

''You're a terrible liar,'' Yuta said. Taeyong looked at the ground, embarrassed. Yuta's eyes softened at his friend.

''I'm not going to force you to tell me anything you don't want, Taeyong,'' he told Taeyong, voice soothing but still firm. ''But you have to know that I'm going to find out sooner or later. I'm your best friend, you know that. I'm a little upset you don't trust me enough to tell me, but-''

''It's not like that,'' Taeyong insisted. ''I trust you, I swear. I just...''

''I understand,'' Yuta said. ''I need to you know that you can tell me anything.''

The atmosphere had transformed shockingly quickly. Taeyong wasn't good with this type of sentimental moods, never had been. So he changed it as soon as possible.

''I think I'll get going now,'' he said, taking Yuta's phone from his pocket and looking at the time. ''Yeah, I should get going. When's the party?

Yuta didn't make a move to get up from his place, watching Taeyong move quickly between tasks. ''It's tonight.''

''Tonight?'' Taeyong said disbelievingly. ''God, you're... Okay, I'll call you when my class ends. Is Ten coming?''

Yuta had gotten up as Taeyong talked and was now munching on Taeyong's favourite chips. ''Yup.''

''How will we go?'

''We'll take a cab,'' he chuckled when Taeyong's expression changed into worry. ''Don't worry, it's on me. We'll be dressed when you come back home and then you'll get dressed. And then we'll take a cab from here, because your place is the closest to the place.''

''Alright then,'' Taeyong said, putting his backpack on. He opened the door, casting one last look at Yuta. ''I'll see you later. Don't forget to answer my call, okay?''

''Go, you're going to be late,'' Yuta shooed Taeyong out of the shorter man's own house. ''I won't forget. Have fun!''

''I will,'' Taeyong grumbled, closing the door behind him and taking off to go to his lecture.
