"liar liar, pants on fire."

oh, no... no.

you've got it all wrong; it's not their pants, but their soul that's on fire.

"Listen, let me explain."

"I asked for one thing."

"Jae please, just-"

"One simple thing!" Jae doesn't let Brian finish his sentences because, in all honesty, he doesn't deserve to.

"Jae..." Brian sounds defeated, almost apologetic

"During the 4 years we were together... I asked for one thing" Jae keeps repeating himself, frustrated, angry and hurt tears streaming down his face.

"I asked that if at any point you got tired of me, bored of me or just wanted it all to end, you would end it. I asked for you to just stop everything rather than cheating on me." the tall blonde stares at Brian.

The other male is standing in the corner, his silver hair in slight disarray, some of it matted to his forehead. He doesn't have the audacity to look Jae in the eyes

"So Brian, tell me why" he says through gritted teeth as he points to their bed,

"I walked in to our apartment to find heels at the door, and pieces of clothing on the floor, why I walked into our bedroom to see you," his voice breaks and Brian almost visibly winces,

"Making love to some girl. To see your hands on someone that wasn't me - to find you in our bed with someone else."

The girl awkwardly looks back and forth between Jae and Brian, one hand supporting her body while the other is holding the sheets up to prevent any unwanted exposure.

"Jae... I-"

"Please leave. Get out."

Jae cuts him off to speak to the girl, his voice shaking and she nods, gathering some of her clothes off the bedroom floor, quickly putting them on while Brian just looks at her. She gives an apologetic look but he's clearly fuming so she just leaves, leaving Brian and the latter in tense silence. It's quiet besides Jae's heaving breathing and the slightly distant sound of the girl putting her heels on and the door of their apartment closing.

"Were you bored of me?" Jae asks and Brian doesn't give an answer,

"I just wasn't enough anymore? Suddenly, I wasn't all that you had dreamt of anymore? I worked my off to come home early and surprise you, and I come home to this. ing wonderful!" Jae says, throwing his hands up in the air and laughing, but Brian is fully aware it's not because anything about this situation is amusing.

"4 years." the taller says and Brian looks up at him,

"4 years down the drain because you-"

"Don't act like this is all my fault," Brian says and Jae looks at him, laughing again.

"Oh right! Because it's partially my fault that you cheated on me-"

"Don't act like you haven't messaged other people. Don't act like your business trips haven't taken a couple of detours into peoples' hotels," Brian scoffs,

"This relationship has been broken for so long so don't blame this all on me. Telling me that you asked me all to end it? Because you didn't want to be the one that called it quits? Don't try and act like we both haven't been lying to ourselves and each other,"

Jae stares at him and says,

"So then, why the Hell are we still together?"

Brian smirks and he gets closer to Jae, leaning close and he whispers, practically against Jae's lips,

"Because we continue to lie... And personally, I like knowing that you're mine despite all of this,"

"Yeah? Well not anymore, I'm tired of dealing with your bull-"

"Oh look at you, lying again."

Jae looks at Brian, furious yet also confused,

"You're not tired of me. If you were, you wouldn't be so angry right now. You wouldn't have been reduced to tears if you were tired of me. I admit, you may not be completely, 100% invested, interested in me anymore..." he steps even closer and Jae refuses the urge to crash their lips together,

"But you're not completely done with me."

Brian smirks,

"Just like me, you get a kick out of being able to still claim me as yours. Leaving your marks where others will  see only during times where we're unfaithful... So don't go crying on me because we both know I'm not the only o
