count on me┃jaeyong

⌜ twenty seven ⌟

it surprised ten, making him wonder as to what the older male had done wrong. he couldn't remember having any serious argument with him, neither any miscommunication. but actually, taeyong just felt the need to apologize despite of it happening months back.

after having a conversation with jaehyun countless of times about it, he couldn't help but feel guilty for what he had done. sure, he really wasn't regretful for it as the incident led him to this, making him fall in love with someone so perfect, but he still felt bad. it was his fault as to why they had broken up, and he wanted to be the one to clear things up.

frankly speaking, he has no idea what would happen after this conversation they'll be having. possibly, ten could go back with jaehyun and he'll be left there heartbroken. thinking about that only makes his chest clench. but he knows very well that doing this, that asking for forgiveness in the mistake he has done, is something he should do.

he can't live without being guilty at what he did. so whatever is going to happen after this, he's going to accept that.

being confused, ten let out an unsure giggle. ❝for what?❞

❝during that first time we met,❞ taeyong not had the courage to look at him but his hands were clutching on his knees incase that he would break down all of a sudden. ❝i pulled jaehyun in for a kiss in the middle of the street. you don't have to get mad at him, because it was my fault.❞

ten's eyes widened at how he could remember it clearly as if it had just happened recently. he's not even going to lie, that hurt him genuinely. it was during when both he and jaehyun were having a hard time seeing each other because of how busy they had gotten in their studies, and their own activities outside academics. he had dance, and the dimpled male had basketball. the date they had during that day was the first they had after a while and seeing him kiss someone made him feel things. anger and jealousy, but was he furious? not quite.

being distant with each other had probably grown on him that he started to fall out of love with him. still, that doesn't mean he didn't feel any pain when he saw his boyfriend kiss another during their date.

a relationship is still a relationship to him and even if it would look like he's not into it at times, his feeling towards someone is genuine.

❝i was selfish and all i could think of during that time was myself.❞ taeyong started to explain now that he had caught the thai's attention. ❝i was being chased by reporters and cameras, wanting to get me and force me to answer their questions. the only thing that came to my mind after seeing jaehyun was crazy, he could have filed me a case for that.❞

brows knitted, ten tilted his head to the side out of curiosity. ❝why were they after you?❞

he sheepish smile made its way to taeyong's lips, lifting a hand up to rub his nape as thought of it deeply whether he should tell the thai about it. ❝can you keep a secret?❞

since they were in good terms, somehow, ten nodded his head without any hint of lies at that. he saw the older motioning a finger for him to lean closer and that's what he did, lending his ears to the older male that whispered something to him that made him quietly gasp.

❝i'm friends with nakamoto yuta.❞

covering his mouth to prevent himself from reacting violently, ten moved away and stared at the male across that now had a shy smile. ❝so you two were also on a date that day?❞
