OUR SECRET || JAEYONG

Chapter 5 what are you staring at?

Jaehyun had slept well that night. He knew Taeyong slept well too since he hadn't woken up even once. Something was still bothering Jaehyun somehow but he couldn't put his finger on it. He had convinced himself that nothing was wrong anymore. All the misunderstandings had been sorted out between him and Taeyong. Then why was he feeling this...weird?

Next morning when Jaehyun woke up, Taeyong was still sleeping. He had been lacking his sleep for a long time so it was understandable he would now sleep a lot. Jaehyun was standing by Taeyong's bed and looking at him sleeping.

He's too beautiful. Jaehyun didn't think Taeyong's eyes were pretty anymore. He had noticed how beautiful Taeyong was entirely. He couldn't admit it to himself before. He never before looked at Taeyong longer.

Jaehyun didn't realise that he was staring too long until it was too late. Taeyong woke up, opened his eyes.

Jaehyun gasped and took a step back from Taeyong's bed. Taeyong's sleepy eyes spotted Jaehyun who was trying his best not to look guilty. Guilty for staring at Taeyong.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up." Jaehyun apologized.

Taeyong sat up in the bed, ruffled his messy hair and looked at Jaehyun. Jaehyun thought Taeyong looked cute when his face was slightly puffy like that in the morning.

"You didn't wake me up. I woke up myself. What were you doing anyways?" Taeyong yawned.

"I- uhm..." Jaehyun swallowed, cheeks warm. Taeyong didn't notice.

He couldn't tell Taeyong he had been watching at him sleeping. It would be too weird. He didn't even know himself why he did that. "I was just...waiting for you to wake up. I wasn't going to wake you up if that's what's you're thinking, hyung."

"It's okay. I'll go then. See you at practice." Jaehyun was surprised. He had never expected Taeyong to believe that. Taeyong stood up and left Jaehyun stand there awkwardly. Why am I so awkward all the time?

He didn't know why he suddenly felt awkward around Taeyong. He had always been so close and comfortable with him. Maybe the kiss did something to him...NO!!

They were practicing with NCT U unit in the afternoon. Jaehyun was looking at Taeyong as he was dancing. He was so different from yesterday. He wasn't shy or hesistant at all. He acted like nothing had happened yesterday around the members who knew nothing about Taeyong's other self. It was something only Jaehyun knew and knowing that made him feel somehow special.

They were now having a break. Taeyong had been drained and exhausted before yesterday. Anyone could see the difference if they paid attention and that made Jaehyun nervous. He didn't want anyone to notice the difference. That would mean questions and he wouldn't want to explain. That meant lying and he was bad at it.

Usually Taeyong would not laugh that much in usual dance practise ...or hug others without a reason. Now he was hugging Jungwoo. What were they talking about? Why Taeyong was hugging him? Jaehyun felt angry all the sudden and he didn't know why. He didn't have any reason to be angry, did he?

"Jaehyun what are you staring at? And why do you look so angry?" Jaehyun didn't notice when Ten got there. Oh did I stare again? Why do I even look at him all the time? What's wrong with me?
