"Meet Lee Jeno, isn't he handsome?"

"No, and I have already met him at school, he's the answers to why I had to go to the hospital" Taeyong bluntly spoke.

"Me? I could never harm students in school, I would never give my dad's school a bad reputation" Jeno smiled innocently before showing his crescent eyes after.

"God, no wonder you can do some much shit at school without getting called out" Taeyong rolled his eyes with annoyance, he really wanted to leave.

"Taeyong! What are you saying?! Jeno here is nothing but a complete sweetheart" his mother spoke as she felt angry with how rude her son is.

"Sweetheart? That's so bullshit, call me when they leave" Taeyong pushes Jeno away and walked to his room.

Johnny watched the whole scene unfolds while he drinks his protein shake. He laughed silently as Taeyong was also in disagreement with his matchup. Johnny didn't want Jeno for Taeyong.

"Sorry about that, Jeno, my son has been through a lot back then" Taeyong's mom sipped from her cup.

"Oh no auntie, what happened?" Jeno acted all innocent but his intentions were to get something to blackmail Taeyong.

He fixed his school uniform before sitting diligently on the velvet chair before listening to Mrs. Lee's story on how Taeyong came to be as of today.

Taeyong laid on his bed and just stayed up all night because he felt his mother really is going to marry him off to some rich boy, and who would've thought it would be a boy like Jeno.

Out of all the boys, the boy who would punch him just for a penny, it was Lee Jeno, an affluent son to a father who owned not only a school but a handful of businesses.

"Jaehyun" Taeyong spoke while he stares at his slowly melting strawberry ice cream.

Jaehyun hummed as a response as he continued to get lost in the warm sight of the sunset. They were both on the grass near the river after school, and Taeyong didn't want to go home. He even texted Johnny that he wasn't going home as expected.

"Do you ever want to run away?" Suddenly that took Jaehyun's eyes off he sunset and looked worried at the boy.

The ice cream was melting and it was running down Taeyong's hand, the pink liquid painting his pale hand while his eyes looked dead.

"What made you say that?"

"Do you want to run away?" Taeyong ignored the younger's question as his dead eyes connected with Jaehyun's worried orbs.

"Not really, I have everything I need as of the moment, I have my family, my friends and you" Jaehyun smiled while his dimpled deepened on his cheek.

"I envy you" Taeyong broke eye contact, his eyes were now on the melting ice cream.

"Why?"

"You have such a warm and caring family and even if you were just in the middle of society, you still found happiness, whereas I can have it all but I can't find satisfaction. My family is far different from yours, my mom and dad are divorced and my mom barely cares about my well being" The older's voice was laced with such sadness, his eyes felt heavy from all this overwhelming and suffocating misery.

Jaehyun scooted closer to Taeyong, his hand lands on top of the older's sheepishly.

"Jaehyun, why do you like me?" Taeyong removed his hand beneath the younger's larger one.

"I didn't really intend to fall for you, specifically for a boy, but ever since my intention on having a good record in your book went on, I started falling for how the way you exist, if that made any sense" Jaehyun scratched his nape. His cheeks were suddenly painted in a roseate color.

"What makes you think I like you back?" Taeyong's eyes glistened against the sun that made Jaehyun silently gasp at the beauty.

"I-I don't k-know, probably because you changed?" Jaehyun's ears turned red from the embarrassment.

"What do you mean by that? Jung Jaehyun, capable of observing changes?" Taeyong threw his ice cream on the near by bin and dat back down.

"Hey! I can be smart too, its just that you went from not talking and giving me the chills to making me feel warm and soft, and giving your boyfriend all the love in the world in your own little way" Jaehyun clung to the older and smushed his right cheek on his shoulder, talking with his baby voice

Taeyong pushed Jaehyun away slightly as he tries to clean his hand with wipes, "Jaehyunie".

Jaehyun immediately looked at the older with his adoring eyes when he heard a nickname pop out of his mouth.

"Maybe, I do like you" Taeyong shifted his head towards Jaehyun and titled with a smile.

"You smiled" Jaehyun stood up from the unexpected action.

"You smiled! TAEYONG, YOU SMILED! I DID IT!" Jaehyun shouted from the top of his lungs and punched the air.

Many passerby's looked at their direction and whispered multiple words, and Taeyong tried to calm the younger before they get scolded for how loud he was.

"You just smiled, Taeyong" Jaehyun bent down and placed his forehead on the older's and cupped his face.

As the sun dives deeper into the horizon and sky turns dark, Jaehyun captures the older's lips and Teyong didn't even hesitates to push back but instead just kisses back. His hand roaming on the younger's soft hair while he closes his eyes to savor the moment.

Jaehyun breaks away, hearing both of them breathing heavily from the long kiss, "If you ever doubt that I love you, remember that I would run away with you, anytime, anywhere, forever if you would want to"

They both laid on the grass while they gaze at the stars while Jaehyun softly sings.

And maybe, just maybe, Taeyong really does love Jaehyun.
