Day after day | Jaeyong

Chapter 12

"This is it. I have to tell him the truth." Taeyong thinks to himself as he walks onto school campus. "And hopefully I can talk to Jaehyun too..." He thinks to himself with a small sigh.

"Hey how you holding up?" Yuta asks as he runs up behind the younger.

"I guess I'm fine, just feel kind of shitty." Taeyong says with a sigh making Yuta frown.

"Hey, at least you're not leading him on. It's better to be honest about your feelings then to try and hide them." Yuta says as he wraps his arm around the older's shoulders.

"Have you talked to Ten or Seulgi?" I haven't heard from them since friday night." Taeyong asks and Yuta thinks for a second before shaking his head no.

"That was really weird wasn't it? The way they were talking to us." Yuta says and Taeyong shrugs.

"Maybe they just feel bad for him..." Taeyong sighs. "Do you think they're mad at me?"

"If they are then they're assholes." Yuta shrugs as the two reach their lockers.

"Like I can see why they would be upset- at least for Doyoung. But to be mad at you is shitty." He says as they make their way to class. As they walk up the stairs they see the three standing near the end of the hallway making Taeyong gulp.

Taeyong and Yuta slowly make their way towards them, but as soon as their eyes meet Doyoung waves at the Ten and Seulgi before disappearing down the staircase.

"Hey." Yuta greets as they walk up to them and the two only give them awkward smiles.

"Where's Doyoung?" Taeyong asks making Seulgi scoff.

"He doesn't want to talk to you." She snaps and Ten nudges her lightly.

"Hey." Yuta calls lowly, glaring at her slightly. "What's your problem?" He says quietly, to avoid stares.

"Nothing." She says before walking away making Ten and Yuta sigh.

"Are you mad at me too?" Taeyong asks, not bothering to look up at Ten as he stares at his feet. Ten sighs softly, feeling guilt setting into the pit of his stomach.

"No I'm not mad, disappointed? Yeah... I just expected better from you." Ten says and Taeyong frowns as he tries to keep the tears from pooling in his eyes, that was Yuta's breaking point.

"Bro I don't know what type of world you live in. But it's not Taeyong's fault for not liking him back. Could he have gone about it a different way? Yeah, but we all make mistakes. Besides this isn't between all of us. It's between them. And you better get Seulgi in check before I do. Because she has no right to act like a fucking asshole." He fumes and Taeyong only pulls him back and shakes his head no.

"Yuta it's fine, I can see why he would be upset with me." Taeyong says with a sigh before turning back to Ten. "Please, tell Doyoung I want to talk to him." He says and that's what makes Ten scoff.

"Save it. He's already heard everything." He says making the two stop for a second.

"What do you mean?" Taeyong asks.

"You think we called you guys on friday for nothing? He was on the phone with us. The whole time. He heard everything." He says and Taeyong starts to feel the waves of guilt washing over him.

"B-but I was high that's not-"

"It's not what? Are you going to tell me everything you said wasn't true?" He asks making Taeyong gulp.

"I need to talk to Doyoung-" He says but is interrupted by the sound of the bell.

"Talk to him then." Ten sasses one last time before walking into the classroom making Taeyong sigh.
