in this state, his kind heart would be the death of him. ❝by pretending to be his boyfriend?❞ a scoff was heard from the older. ❝even when he isn't asking you to be one?



well, he loves his ex-boyfriend and he wants him back.❞ taeyong explained as he put the books he had inside his bag before closing his locker. ❝i'm helping him.

no,❞ johnny trailed from behind, still trying to convince the male that this really ain't it. ❝you're not helping him. you're just getting your heart broken.

i am not.



johnny's jaw dropped at what he said. ❝you told me you were falling.

look, it's not that serious, okay?❞ when they finally had gotten themselves out of the building, taeyong halted his tracks and caused the taller male to also stop. ❝a small crush can't possibly lead to a major heartbreak.

the older male stood there with his hands on his hips and a brow raised, giving him a look. ❝uh, yes it does.





no, it doesn't.❞ defending himself and his actions, the shorter had said back with also having his brows raised. ❝this will just disappear at some point. probably when he and his boyfriend gets back again, watch me forget that i have a small crush on him.





you know what yuta would say when he'd be here?❞ johnny questioned.

taeyong started shaking his head as he genuinely didn't know what the japanese actor would say. what does know is that he'd also get scolded by him if he is here to listen to all of this.

he'd guess that you would fall even deeper.❞ actually, johnny knew the japanese would have the guts to say that to taeyong's face even though he does know that very well. that actor wouldn't want himself to get hurt knowing that his friend whom he liked is starting to open his heart to another person that's not him. ❝and you know how accurate his guesses are.

a groan escaped from taeyong's mouth as he went on walking away, having the biker catching up from behind. ❝i don't get why you're stopping me from doing this when it's you who's telling me that it's better to risk it all than do nothing.

running in front of the frowning male, johnny made sure to tower over him as he huffed the moment he blocked the younger from making his way to the front gates. ❝this is not the right way to risk it all.❞ he immediately told him, his gaze piercing with the shorter who's also glaring up at him. ❝taeyong, you have a weak—





i'll be careful.❞ calming himself down, taeyong closed his eyes and took deep breaths. the taller male was patiently waiting for him, knowing very well that pressuring him isn't going to be a good idea. ❝can't you just be happy that i'm helping someone rather than having them help me? also, this is the least i can do for their family. they are treating my mom and i more than what we deserve.





johnny then walked closer to him and held his hands. he had his eyes closed as he leaned forward and let his forehead rest on the younger's, wanting to stay in this position for a while. ❝i take back what i said, i don't think destiny is giving this jerk to you.❞ honestly saying, he'd prefer to have him end up with yuta than this guy whom he doesn't even know very well yet. ❝i have friends who are single, maybe you want to meet them?

you're overreacting for just a small crush, damn.❞ taeyong laughed at how he almost sounded serious, when he really is.

clicking his tongue, the frown plastered the older's face got deeper. ❝taeyong, i'm the only one who knows you are suffering. anything could happen and i'm not always by your side.
