OUR SECRET || JAEYONG

Chapter 17 playing with fire

Today they'd have their first comeback stage. They were getting ready for the stage. Since this morning, Taeyong hadn't had a chance to talk to Jaehyun at all. He wanted to apologise to him because it seemed, Jaehyun was now mad at him. And he knew he was the reason for that.

Jaehyun was seated beside him and his hair and make up were almost done. He then got a great idea. He leaned closer to Jaehyun who was facing the big mirror in front of him eyes closed.

"Wow Jaehyun is really handsome today, don't you agree with me Doyoung?" Doyoung was sitting on the other side of Jaehyun. He turned to look at Jaehyun too.

"Sure he is."

"But I think that Lucas is even more handsome today. Just look at him." They turned to look at Lucas who was chatting with other members on the other side of the small room.

"Yeah that make up is more of Lucas' style than Jaehyun's." Doyoung agreed with him. Taeyong glanced at Jaehyun. His plan had succeeded. Jaehyun was pissed off.

"Taeyong we need to talk for a bit." He took a hold of Taeyong's wrist and dragged him out of the room. Others were left confused.

"Jaehyun stop. What are you doing?" That had not been part of his plan. They came in some huge bathroom.

"Let go of my wrist. You're hurting me." Jaehyun freed his hand immediately and turned to look at Taeyong.

"I'm sorry I said that but I just wanted to get attention from you. I thought you were ignoring me. And I didn't mean anything I said earlier." Jaehyun didn't seem mad like Taeyong had imagined.

"I wasn't ignoring you. I was just trying not to be obvious of our relationship unlike someone else here." Had Taeyong just imagined everything?

"But what about this morning when you just left the bathroom after our discussion. I thought you were mad at me."

Jaehyun sighed. "Why would I be mad at you about something like that? I left because I thought you wanted to be alone. You looked so uncomfortable."

Taeyong laughed. Then he hugged Jaehyun without a second thought. "I'm sorry. I should think properly more often."

Jaehyun stroked his hair while his other hand was wrapped around Taeyong's waist. For a while they only hugged each other without saying anything. Taeyong interrupted the silence first. "We should go."

He let go of Jaehyun and turned away but was stopped by a hand on his wrist again. The younger turned him around and kissed him on the lips. Taeyong melted in the feeling immediately and kissed him back eagerly.

"Yeah we should go." Jaehyun left the room first.

How can he just do that and then leave? Taeyong looked at his reflection in the mirror. He couldn't go back looking like this, his face flushed red.

Jaehyun loved performing and being with their fans but today he couldn't wait to get home. He sat beside Taeyong in the car who was now leaning on his shoulder, probably sleeping. He restrained himself not to move the few strands of hair away from his eyes. Or not to pull him closer. He couldn't do any of those things other couples did. But still, he felt so happy just sitting beside Taeyong at the moment.
