count on me┃jaeyong

⌜ twenty three ⌟

❝ten and i called it off already!❞

❝you're saying that just to confuse me with what i'm feeling!❞ if the younger had his voice raised, so does taeyong. he finally raised his head up and got to look at how surprised the taller male is, probably because he had shouted at him. the memory during that very day then flashed inside his head, making him breathe heavily. it reminded him the sight he had witnessed, the pain he felt, how his chest was being stabbed countless of times, and how he almost got himself to lose his own life.

just because of a heartbreak.

and he didn't want that to happen again. ❝i s-saw you kiss him, he t-told you how h-he wanted to get back with you.❞

jaehyun stood there, taken aback. he spaced out for seconds before getting back to his senses and have his brows knitted at the information he just got from the older male. the last kiss he had from ten was during that time when they won their match, that very moment where he also got slapped. he actually thought that it was only them at the hallways, not hearing nor seeing anyone else. ❝you saw us?❞

❝that w-was your chance.❞ taeyong's quivering lips then formed a smile, contradicting to how the tears started streaming down from his eyes. ❝i'm h-happy that i was of help. i got you back with your ex, which i'm also responsible for the break up. congratulations for—❞

❝if you saw us then you could have at least stayed for the entire thing.❞

catching a glimpse of it already hurt him enough, staying would make him collapse on the spot. taeyong isn't even thinking of what the taller male could have possibly meant by that.

❝you could have at least listened and watched to what i said after, to what i got after.❞ jaehyun now had his fists clenched tight, not wanting to get his emotions the best of him.

❝what you said?❞ the older let out a broken chuckle, he really does love hurting other people. ❝probably an i l-love you—❞

❝i told him about ending our relationship, i told him about liking someone else, and i told him things that i got slapped in return.❞ in saying that, jaehyun saw how unexpected that was to the smaller male in front of him. ❝taeyong, i told him about you.❞

no, this could be a joke. the said male then started shaking his head slowly, not believing in every word the younger male had said. ❝s-stop it.❞

❝ten and i are already over—❞

❝i said, stop it!❞ when jaehyun tried to reach out for him, taeyong took a step back with his tears still not stopping from falling. even his breathing is starting to get out of hand but seems like that's not what's important to the emotionally wrecked male right now. ❝stop playing with me!❞

❝taeyong, i'm not playing with you.❞

despite of crying his eyes out, the older looked like he was having enough of whatever he was saying. ❝you're only saying this to either play with me or get back at me for breaking your phone.❞

jaehyun stood there as he processed what he said inside his head, having him to scoff at his reason. brushing his tongue against his inner cheek, he fished his hand inside pocket and got the device that the crying male is referring to. it still had its screen cracked and even if it's still working very well, jaehyun cared less about it. ❝is this what you think the reason behind all of the things i have done for you?❞

❝is that not—❞ taeyong gasped loudly with a hand covering his mouth, having his eyes widened, the moment he saw the younger aggressively throw his phone on the ground.

looking at it, it's completely broken.

❝now, i'm the one who broke it.❞ mocking a laugh as if he hasn't just destroyed a working device. ❝i can't blackmail my own self, can i?❞

just when he got a hang of his own emotions, taeyong had now started to feel himself hyperventilating. first is how angry the younger looked as he threw his phone, and second is just him trying to stop crying. ❝jaehyun, w-what are you—❞

the older's eyes widened like saucers as he felt a hand taking his arm and pulled him close harshly, giving him no time to react as the next thing he knew was seeing jaehyun bend a little bit down for their heights to match. nothing, he couldn't do anything. he can't feeling himself breathing, he can't move a muscle, and neither can he even say a word.

why? because a pair of lips had shut him up.
