Taeyong turned sixteen.
His Mom had a problem with her heart that requires a surgery, but there was only a 50% chance she'll survive.
Jaehyun didn't marry her Mom, which still surprise him.
As he turned into a male that started to be open minded to the cruel things on the world, he asked Johnny about it instead.
❝Why is Jaehyun not marrying my mother?❞ Taeyong asked Johnny once they finally had time away from the intimidating guards.
❝You'll know it in the future, kiddo.❞ He smiled and ruffled Taeyong's hair. ❝If you ever knew, would you hate hyung?❞
❝Why would I hate you?❞ He smiled sweetly. ❝You were like an older brother, hyung. I would take care of Donghyuck when you're old and ugly.❞
Johnny slightly pushed Taeyong making the child giggle.
❝How's your mother by the way?❞
❝She's stubborn as ever. I want her to try it.. but I'm scared to lose her as well so I understand her.❞ Taeyong's face lit up as he looked at the beautiful garden. ❝I'm happy Jaehyun granted my wish to make the backyard turned into a garden. It looks so beautiful!❞
❝Believe me, Tae, Jaehyun would buy the moon for you.❞ Johnny caressed the small back of Taeyong. ❝As long as you'll be happy.❞
He loves you, Taeyong. I feel sorry for you.
Johnny thought as he look at the teenager.
A child like him should be at school, playing with kids his age or strolling the mall. At the age of sixteen, he was recklessly driving. He feels pity for Taeyong, for being caged like he's already being owned.
Johnny excused himself to Taeyong as he made his way to Jaehyun's workplace, the dirtiest law firm which revolves through money and power.
Jaehyun's of course, owns it.
They pay the judge to make the case close as their clients pays them double making the firm rich as ever. The daily clients mostly joined the illegal businesses or politics.
❝Mr. Seo?❞ The receptionist said as she looked at the tall male.
❝I'm here to talk to the President.❞
❝I'll connect you to him, Mr. Seo. Wait for a moment,❞
He sighed and waited for a minute. Jaehyun told him to wait at the conference room, he did and he waited for just five minutes as the person he wanted to talk enter with a red tint on his cheek.
❝What happened?❞
❝Killed an idiot client.❞ He sighed and sat across Johnny. ❝What's the problem? Anything you need?❞
❝Taeyong needs to go to school, Jaehyun.❞
Jaehyun stopped thinking. He finds the statement awfully funny. He started to chuckle, it was disgusting in Johnny's ears.
❝I'm serious, he's sixteen and school would start next month. You should expose him to people, could you even look at his skin? He's pale as paper!❞
Jaehyun wiped a fake tear. ❝You know who we're talking about, right?❞
❝Yeah, and I'm asking you for this. The child needs to be caged out. You're controlling him, Jaehyun. He doesn't deserve this! Atleast let him graduate senior year before you caged him like you wanted to!❞
❝Taeyong is not like the others, Johnny.❞ He darkly looked at Johnny. ❝People would manipulate him. He's innocent and fragile as a glass. His face is not the average or the normal ones. People would use him. I rather be the one who would do that.❞
❝W-What?! You're crazy!❞ Johnny stood up and grabbed Jaehyun's collar. ❝Are you hearing yourself?! Taeyong is pretty, yes, but you can't just make him look like a slave wrapped around you! You need to know that he's also human!❞
❝I can, Johnny.❞ He pulled Johnny's arm away. He glared at the male as he leaned over to make sure Johnny heard his words. ❝Taeyong is mine. I decide, not you.❞
『next』
