count on me┃jaeyong

⌜ eight ⌟

fluttering her eyes slowly, the mother had her brows furrowed and nose scrunched seeing her son being awake at this ungodly hour. ❝where are you going?❞

❝school, mom.❞ taeyong took his phone by the nightstand and gave his mother a peck on her forehead. he ran a hand on her long strands of hair and lulled her back to sleep.

❝don't you think it's too early?❞ she said with a yawn. the woman also remembered her son waking up and getting ready at the same hour yesterday, making her wonder why he would do that.

❝well,❞ a smile made its way to the son's face as he watched her dozing off to sleep. ❝i'm avoiding hell himself.❞ as if hell itself is a person.

already drifting off to sleep, the mother didn't get to ask more questions and started snoring back in her sleep. taeyong watched her with a smile on his face before bringing the duvet up to cover his mother's body and to keep her warm.

huffing, he gripped on to his bag strap tightly before going out of the room silently. he closed the door quietly and took careful steps towards the back door. no one was still awake at this hour and if there was, it's probably just security guards. this is why he had to hurry his way out using the back gates before jaehyun is going to request the guards to lock it again.

❝i managed to escape yesterday,❞ he mumbled, tiptoeing to the back gates that aren't locked. ❝i can also get out today without getting caught.❞

he kept on grumbling while getting out of the jung's property and when he finally took a step out, he almost screamed when he saw a figure leaning by the pillar. this person had his arms crossed and brows raised at him.

❝are you sure about that?❞

groaning in annoyance, taeyong brought his hand up and clutched his chest. he really was already this near to screeching in this ungodly hour because of how this person just keeps on appearing out of no where. ❝why are you awake at this hour, jaehyun?❞

oh, he had no idea how much effort this guy had put to just to see him. he panicked seeing that he woke up five minutes after his alarm kept on ringing. jaehyun had to quickly get himself ready, force himself to go under cold water, and shiver his way out of his room. he didn't want to bother anyone but he knew he also had to wake his driver up. lucky for him, the man is a morning person that he caught him drinking coffee at the backyard.

yawning, jaehyun grabbed hold of the shorter's hand and dragged him towards his car that's just a walk away. ❝let's go.❞

taeyong then stood still on his place, halting the younger from his tracks, and made an attempt to pull his arm back. ❝i'm going on my own.❞
