Extra Chapter 2

The next morning they're all out in the living room, with the company of Taeyong having arrived an hour before.

Jaemin and Jeno had left to let the elders talk among themselves, and also partly because Ten looked like he wanted to knock someone out.

"Right, like I said, I'm sorry." Taeyong shifts uneasily in the corner couch as the other adults glare at him. Well, except for Doyoung, who's looking down on the floor.

"You've said." Doyoung grumbles, pulling at the fuzzy carpet. Taeyong sighs for the umpteenth time that hour and runs a hand back through his hair.

"Look, I'm not just going to say it's my fault because he was completely shitfaced, not me. I told him to back off too, but being the total egghead he is..." Taeyong defends himself and only gets sharp glares in return, mostly from Johnny and Ten.

Doyoung looks up at Taeyong, blinking slowly. Of course Taeyong is always trying to get on people's good sides, or at least, he always had. Hence nobody has seen him for years and yet he hasn't changed.

"I believe you, because I did see that. I'm just sceptical about what happened after I left." Doyoung replies slowly, hiccuping occasionally.

"I assure you nothing happened." Taeyong holds his hands up as if he's a prisoner. More loud hiccups from Doyoung later and Johnny gets up to get the poor guy a glass of water.

Aaaand someone's phone starts buzzing and oh, would you look at that. Taeyong goes digging in his pocket and fishes out his phone, taking the call and standing up.

"Taeil? Don't tell me he's trying to leave now..."

Everyone raises their brows at him, their curiosity rising high. Ten remembers that Taeyong briefly mentioned that Taeil is his best friend and roommate as of right now and the one to take care of him.

"Fine, put him on."

Taeyong taps a button on the phone and takes the phone away from his ear. It only takes a second but soon a rough, familiar voice comes through the speaker.

"Is Doyoung there?"

Jaehyuns voice is panicked, and you can see the utter fear in Doyoungs eyes when he first hears him speak.

"He's here. Care to tell him that nothing happened between you and I last night? Because he won't listen."

"I swear on my life we did nothing. I remember everything from last night up until I passed out, and I'm so fucking sorry, Doyoung."

"I don't trust you."

"Babe-"

"Don't fucking 'babe' me, Yoonoh. If you could respond to me without a slur in your voice yesterday, I know you knew what you were doing. I saw everything, and I know you better than you know yourself, so don't think I didn't know your intentions last night."

"I was drunk!"

"Yeah, and people are repulsive and stupid when they're drunk and say and act what they think and want."

"I love you so much yet you doubt me."

"Jaehyun, I'm not stupid. And yes, I'm doubting you because of what you did with my bro-ther just last night in front of me. Plus, from what I've just learned, he still loves you."

"Wha-"

"Hang up the phone, I don't want to hear him." Doyoung flops back down on to the carpeted floor, holding his tears in as Taeyong ends the call.

Johnny sits down next to Doyoung, the water in his hand as he uses the other to rub his shoulder comfortingly. Taeyong puts his head in his hands, growling ever so slightly.

"This is why I left in the first place. I just make problems..."

"Nonono don't say that, Taeyong." Surprisingly, Doyoung speaks up, taking the water from Johnny and sipping it slowly. "It was going to happen eventually."

"Yeah but-"

"No buts. Also, I want to meet this Taeil guy."
