Jaehyun held Taeyong's cheeks. Wiping the dried tears with his thumb and slowly hugged his body. Doing soft lullabies to calm the shaking male.
❝I broke a promise to her,❞ Jaehyun caressed his cheeks softly. ❝I'm sorry if I did that to you, I'm very sorry. I was devoured by anger and lust.❞
❝D-Did you love my mother?❞ Taeyong asked shaking, his body tensed when he felt Jaehyun's head tilted to peek on his face.
❝No,❞ Jaehyun replied staring at Taeyong's eyes. ❝I never loved her. From the start, it was always you, I only used her to get you. I didn't care for her the way I did to you,❞
❝But you lied to me.❞
❝Because I wanted to let you know me, would you get near me if I told you that I was a merciless leader? That I have illegal businesses?❞ Jaehyun smiled, he saw Taeyong's eyes that mirrored fright. ❝No, right? I wanted to show you how much I love and care for you with my actions and affection, without my personal background.❞
❝No,❞ Taeyong shook his head. ❝You told me you're going to marry my mother, that you're my step-father. Did you know how much I disgusted myself for thinking that I would have feelings for my father?❞
❝That was mistake,❞ Jaehyun smiled sadly. ❝I'll make things better this time. For the second time around, I'll make everything right and honest. Just please.. don't leave. Let me prove myself, that I'm worthy for your stay.❞
Taeyong couldn't do anything. He was torn. Even though he said that he wanted to leave, his stupid self would always comeback to Jaehyun. His stupid heart would always beat to him, the things love can do.
❝I-I'll give you another chance.❞ Taeyong smiled sadly. ❝But can you give me time? I need to be away from you temporarily. I need to know myself, I need to see my family that I never visited. I need to collect myself.. alone.❞
Jaehyun nodded. ❝Okay, then.❞ He went up and held Taeyong's hand, kissing it like how a prince does. ❝I'll be waiting, I'll always be.❞
Taeyong nodded before getting up, finding his luggage to put his clothes and things. He restrained himself from crying, it was better to leave without any emotions all over the place.
Jaehyun watched him, his chest ripping painfully into smaller pieces. But there was a small euphoric feeling that Taeyong' would be back to him, that the younger would be return to him.
『next』
