Broken | Jaeyong

chapter 12

He stole glances of the smaller male as he made his way across the balcony, he was a swift and silent as wind. It was obvious to Taeyong that the other didn't want to be followed and made a great deal of caution to not be. But not enough, not enough to go under Taeyong's nose. He followed the blonde like a shadow, creeping close upon his heels but remaining far away enough to not have a presence.

He was currently following Kun into a dim hallway where no one but them were. As soon as Taeyong knew he was no longer on the vip balcony, he was quick to put his hoodie back on. Kun stopped before a door, looking behind him before entering. Taeyong hid behind a corner he had just passed, barely disappearing out of the blonde's line of sight in time. He watched carefully as the smaller vanished from sight into the room.

With a deep exhale, Taeyong approached the door. He placed his ear against the smooth surface and he listened for anything he may hear.

"Kun, did you run the tests on that jellyfish venom I gave you yesterday?" Taeyong's body flashed with sudden paralyse at the sound of that all too familiar deep voice of Jaehyun's.

"Yeah, I did." Taeyong assumed Kun said. "But Jaehyun it's not the same as the one the killer is using. He seems to be using a cocktail that is primarily the venom but also something else that I can't seem to figure out."

"Okay, I'll get Johnny to do some further tests." Jaehyun sighed. Taeyong felt his cheek press against the door as he involuntarily smiled. Jaehyun never sighed, Taeyong was the one who sighed, at him.

When he realised what he's facial muscles were doing he reeled back from the door, rubbing his cheeks and shaking his head. Chanting 'no' in his head like a mantra. Jaehyun didn't deserve to make him smile.

"Just in and out, Taeyong." He whispered to himself as he stood before the door staring at it. "Just go in and get the job over with and then disappear like you were never here."

Taeyong nodded to himself, cracking his neck and knuckles as he cocked his head from side to side. He inhaled deeply and exhaled shakily as he reached for the mental door handle. He knew Kun was right in front of the door from how the tone of his voice sounded, so he knew he had to take out the blonde first. In one swift movement he opened the door and smashed the back of Kun's head against it with force as it closed. The smaller dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes, unconsciousness taking over him. As Taeyong turned he saw a leg flying to come in contact with his side. He groaned at the pain that echoed from the blow but managed to grab the leg as it retreated. With a lift of his spare arm he aggressively elbowed the stranger's shin, a nauseating shattering sound following soon after followed by a cry of agony from the man. Taeyong watched as the tall figure lost balance and fell to the floor. Climbing on top of him, he made sure to knocked the man as he now identified as Johnny out with a powerful punch to the side of his face. Taeyong was about to stand up when someone tackled him to the ground.

"Not my husband, you bitch." Ten snarled at the hooded stranger, a knife held in his raised hand.

Taeyong made sure that Ten didn't see his face as he dodged the incoming knife that came flying for his left eye. As he rolled his head away from the attack, he rolled his whole body pinning the smaller below him. He then grabbed the knife out of the other's hand and hit him in the temple with the butt of it. Knocking Ten unconscious like the other two.

Taeyong had no time to react as a hand gripped tightly around his throat, lifting him and bashing him against the wall. He pried at the stranger like a feral cat, clawing wildly at anything his hands could reach as he spat up coughed breaths.

The man forcefully pulled off Taeyong's hood with a growl, "Who are you?-"

Jaehyun stared downed at the crying Taeyong who stood wheezing in his tight grasp. The smaller's beautiful doe eyes sparkling a light violet haze in the room, his delicate fingers that were the last ones to have explored Jaehyun's body, scratching at his own.

"T-Taeyong..." Jaehyun called, his voice fragile. He watched as Taeyong's face softened at his voice. The smaller's arms falling down by his sides as Jaehyun's grip around his neck loosened, his hand reaching to touch Taeyong's soft skin as he caressed his cheek. Jaehyun's breath hitched as Taeyong nuzzled into his palm like he hadn't had human contact in years.

Taeyong's body acted on it's own accord. Melting at the magical touch he hasn't felt for countless days, but yearned for every second. He hated Jaehyun, yet he longed for him. He was like the worst but the most addictive drug, making your senses burst with euphoria but turning your health to crap.

"Baby boy." Jaehyun smiled like he has never before. He was on the brink of bursting into tears at the sight of his love. The one and only who had managed to take his heart all those years ago, the one who never gave it back. Keeping it hostage although he had no idea.

Taeyong visibly froze at the old time nickname. "Don't call me that." He spoke, his voice like shattering glass.

"Baby boy-" Jaehyun frowned, his heart aching at the hurt that lingered in everything that Taeyong did.

"Don't call me that!" Taeyong cried, locking his own fingers around Jaehyun's neck as he pushed the taller off him. Ramming him into the glass table as Jaehyun stumbled back in shock. As Jaehyun grasped his throbbing throat, Taeyong picked the knife he had previously dropped on the ground.

With tears forming in Jaehyun's eyes he asked, "What happened to you?"

"Y-You happened to me, Jaehyun." Taeyong's already broken voice trembled, his own eyes glazing over with tears as he strode over to Jaehyun. "You broke me when you left, shattered me to pieces. You took everything I had to give and just left like I was a petting zoo!"

"Taeyong." Jaehyun's soft voice called. It felt like every ounce of pain Taeyong had caged in his body flowed through Jaehyun's as well. Every frail tremble of the smaller's figure shook Jaehyun's being in torturing waves. Taeyong was the killer who had tortured and murdered people in unspeakable ways, and Jaehyun was the reason. He met the most pure creature this world had to offer and tarnished it, mutilated it, broke it. When Taeyong did the opposite to him. Cleaned his intentions and purified his heart, allowed him to care about others. And it was all because of Taeyong's love, all because of the love he had and still has for Taeyong.

"You have no right to say my name." Taeyong snarled though tears flowed uncontrollably down his cheeks. He raised the knife and armed it to plunge straight through Jaehyun's rib cage and into his heart. Little did he know that Jaehyun's heart could not be found there, but in his own hands.

Jaehyun's shaky hand cupped Taeyong's trembling jaw, his thumb softly caressing his cheek. "H-Hey, listen to me. I didn't leave you, I was taken away from you. I would never want to hurt you or cause you pain, and it crushes me to know that I have. Please believe me. I love you so much, I miss you so much. I love you more than I've ever loved anyone, remember? Remember I said that to you? I meant it then and I mean it now. Taeyong I love you so much-"

"Stop it!" Taeyong screamed, "You don't love me and you never did!"

Taeyong wanted to end it right then and there but something, perhaps the last slither of sanity he still had felt, stabbed the knife into the glass table. Jaehyun fell back, gravity taking it's tole as his tall frame collapsed onto the metal legs, his head colliding with the hard object. Taeyong cried loudly as he looked down at Jaehyun's unconscious figure, his body shaking like a trembling building. He dropped the knife and stumbled to the door, looking back once more at the limp body of Jaehyun.

"I hate you so much." Taeyong's sniffled, his voice so little that it wouldn't even be classified as a whisper. Pulling his hood back over his head, he left without another word.
