The practices continued through the week and Lucas was trying to approach him each day on a friendly level joking around so Renjun began to feel more comfortable around him again. It were just those awkward moments when their eyes met or when they were standing too close and Lucas's hand was brushing over his back and arm. Actually Renjun felt himself drawn in more and more, he couldn't help. When Taeyong wasn't there he was talking to Lucas a lot sharing life stories or just funny dance moves, he was getting used to his closeness to that point he was even able to use Luca's thigh as pillow during breaks, while the boy was playing with his hair strings receiving bad glances from the crew, but Renjun stopped to mind.
It was the first concert day when he was lying like that feeling way too good, way too calm, Lucas's fingertips in his hair sometimes brushing his ear, playing with his earlobe, moving down his neck in a ticklish way. He looked up seeing these big eyes, Lucas licked his lips but then fixed his gaze on the floor when Renjun had the odd urge to kiss him, just close the distance, actually why not.
"So, the presentation should be pla..." Renjun froze hearing Taeyong's voice.
He jumped up from Lucas's lap when he saw Taeyong who became ghostly pale stopping in the middle of the stage. Lucas boded low but Taeyong only clenched his fists.
"Lucas come for a minute," he said his tone stone cold when Renjun's heart began to jump uncontrollably.
Lucas got up with hesitation following Taeyong down the stage when Renjun jumped behind.
"Junie stay here!" said Taeyong the way he was only doing when he was really upset with Renjun what wasn't happing often.
Renjun moved back shaking madly, he waited, each second very long till Taeyong and Lucas came back both very rad as if they had argued, but Lucas just joined Austin and the boys not looking his way.
"Daddy what now?" asked Renjun walking to Taeyong.
"We will speak later," hissed Taeyong when Renjun stepped back.
"But dad.."
"No discussion! I want to see the performance, it's the main rehearsal, after it you will leave the stadium and come back for the concert," said Taeyong pointing at the boys.
They all became very pale.
"Let's waist no time!" Taeyong walked to the edge of the stage when the group took place, the music came. Renjun wanted to cry but tried to dance and sing although some tears come, his voice was trembling but he just pulled through till the end of all four songs.
"Great, now it's only to do it as good as that during the performance," said Taeyong his voice stone cold, Renjun was watching him stunned he has never imagined his Daddy Tae could be so cruel and so distant.
"What time should we be here?" asked Austin very quietly.
"6 p.m.," mattered Taeyong then turned his back to them ignoring their bows.
They left the stage, Renjun looked behind them seeing Lucas turning around sending him a longing gaze, their eyes met, the glittering things in his stomach coming through but Lucas disappeared backstage when Renjun turned to Taeyong.
"You can stay in you changing room, I need to finish my rehearsal," said Taeyong looking at him in the same cold way.
Renjun only nodded then left running out feeling cold tears on his face, he fell into the changing room sobbing loudly dialing Jae's number but his phone was only saying some stupid things like - "The caller you're trying too reach is currency unavailable," repeated an annoying woman's voice, so Renjun tried one more time, he was calling and crying till he decided to call Sicheng.
"Hi Junie," Sicheng's voice was happy.
"Sicheng!" cried Renjun.
"Junie what's up?" the happy notes in Sicheng's voice faded.
"Daddy Tae is so bad, so so bad to me."
"What happened?"
"And Jae is not answering!"
"Jae in in a plane to the States, he will reach you in a few hours," said Sicheng when Renjun felt some hope.
"Do you think Jae will be mad at me too?"
"Because of that Lucas?" asked Sicheng when Renjun felt he will fall off the chair.
"How do you?"
"Jae said there's some boy who is like the young Taeyong, his name is Lucas and yes you have a crush, Jae is rather curious."
"What! I... I don't crush on boys," whispered Renjun.
"No?" Sicheng giggled.
"You and Daddy Tae don't count!" protested Renjun.
"So how is he?"
"Daddy kicked him out because, because I was lying on his lap and yes we had a nice time," Renjun blushed.
"Have you kissed?" Sicheng became livelier.
"No! No! Of course not! But nearly... but don't tell anyone not even Jae," Renjun felt so strange yet so relieved he could tell somebody about it.
"Sicheng is ear," whispered Sicheng when Renjun began to tell him about the illegal party and the moment in the jacuzzi, Lucas telling him he's hot and all the other strange things his presence was causing.
The concert ended with a huge encore, Renjun has never performed that well, he was overwhelmed by the support Taeyong's fans were giving him, he couldn't stop smiling, all better after the conversation with Sicheng who encouraged him to find out what kind of guy Lucas is, if he really liked him.
Taeyong was so happy with the performance his anger faded, he even hugged Renjun telling him he did great. CiCi came to them after the encore inviting them for an after show party in her place so Taeyong took him there with a limo. They weren't speaking about Lucas or anything, Renjun was keeping his silence as he wasn't sure if Taeyong was still mad.
Soon they were in the villa where CiCi came their way, she was wearing a very short red dress.
"Taeyong you have to see the reviews and meet my friends," she took Taeyong's hand pulling him up the stairs when he was trying his best to oppose. Renjun wanted to stay but Taeyong gave him a sign to follow so he did keeping a distance to them. CiCi had never noticed him being there as she was talking all the time when she led up till she stopped in an entrance to bedroom pressing to Taeyong's side.
"It's your room," said Taeyong.
"I lied a little bit to you," whispered CiCi cornering Taeyong at a wall as the room was empty when Renjun slipped towards the door she had left open. "I wanted to be all alone with you," she said putting her hand on Taeyong's chest Renjun's stomach twisting dangerously.
