Mine | Jaeyong

Chapter 20

Taeyong didn't go to school for a few weeks, Jaehyun advised him not to. Instead he was booked a private tutor to teach him core subjects. It was for the best, that's what the therapist told Taeyong. To take a break.
That day was so overwhelming for him, so much crap happened to him.

Taeyong hadn't spoken much, he was embarrassed for what he did. This left Jaehyun bitter. Whenever he tried to talk to Taeyong, the boy would just shrug and nod or shake his head, but the worst was when he said and did nothing.

It didn't stop the affectionn Jaehyun gave though, he just missed Taeyong's voice and lips.
He wanted to know what was going on in the boy's head. He wanted to give him all the happiness and comfort he could... so on that Friday night when Jaehyun came back from school and was rubbing an oil to help with the pain on Taeyong's back, he started to attempt to convocate with him again.

'The boys miss you.'

A shrug.

'I also heard from my lawyer that Mr. Havers is going to be sentenced to 10 years. They found the security footage.'

Nothing.

'Taeyong speak to me...' Jaehyun lowered his hands. 'Just something... anything.'

Nothing.

Jaehyun got up from the white couch they were sitting on. 'Taeyong... this can't carry on. I have to speak for you in therapy sessions! I... I'm doing everything I can... is it just me you hate?'

Taeyong was looking to the side. He had sniffled, his eyes grew itchy as he held back his emotions, he grabbed his grey shirt and pulled it over his head, putting it on. It was cold...

'Babe...' Jaehyun fell back into an armchair, his head was throbbing, he rubbed it. He was becomming more crazy because of Taeyong, it was bad on his health. His heart rate, because of his suppressed anger, seemed to be giving him heart burn. But it wasn't too serious. He was given medicine to stop it (he forgot to take it that night), as for Taeyong who was given these anxiety pills in small doses which made him feel numb and emotionless, probably one of the contributers to his muteness.

Taeyong looked up, and watched Jaehyun. He fiddled with the ripped strings of fabric on his jeans and looked from his fiddle to the stressed Jae, he didn't know what to talk about so he just... 'Hi?' Said the first thing people usually say when they start speaking to one another.

It was awkward for Taeyong to speak, he felt odd.

Jaehyun rubbed his head and repeated what Tae had said. 'Hi?' After realising, he then he shot his eyes open. 'Tae.'

Taeyong blushed and sunk down from where he was sitting.
'Y-you know... you said... we could go to a different country...'

Jaehyun had gotten up to go and swing his arms around Taeyong. 'Anywhere.' He kissed Taeyong's cheek.

'Can we go to France? I would like to go there, I-I don't like it staying indoors all day, all I see is the garden... my tutor smokes so there's always a smokey smell... it reminds me of when we escaped school and Johnny...' That was the most he had said in ages, but because he hadn't his voice was hoarse and like he had lost his voice a little, he hadn't spoken in ages so when he spoke about things. He couldn't stop, he had so much to say that he didn't before.

'I said anywhere, we'll go, I'll call the others to join. I can get a new tutor too if you don't like it-'

'N-no, I don't care. It just makes me want to leave this place.'

'Let's leave.' Jaehyun promised.
He had a smile on his face because he meant it, he was happy and proud that Taeyong spoke. If he had nothing wrong with Jaehyun then he really was struggling to say something, so that's why he was proud that Taeyong fought against it for him.
