It was hard for Taeyong. He kept blaming himself for what had happened.

 

“It is not your fault babe. She was here without any further notice. So it was understandable you let her leave just like that,”

 

“She was here to talk about the person you hate. It is fine that you kicked her out. No one blames you,”

 

All these words keep ringing in Taeyong’s head but it never made him feel better. Instead, he kept telling himself that if he did not leave the house years ago all this would not happen. If he talked to Minyoung nicely, she would have taken the bus instead of walking. Taeyong, again, keeping himself in his room, pushing the society, blaming himself and even tried to cut himself but Jaehyun and Yuta were always there to watch on Taeyong, to make sure he ate properly, to take make sure Taeyong took his bath daily.

 

Every day, Jaehyun would come back to a dark, silent house. It was either Taeyong was sleeping or he locked himself in the room. Taeyong barely came out of the room unless he wanted to watch Jaehyun on the television, when he missed his boyfriend so much that he wanted to listen to Jaehyun’s voice as much as he could. Taeyong would sometimes slept the whole day without eating. He would tell Jaehyun and Yuta he did not want to eat alone. It was hard for both Jaehyun and Taeyong but Jaehyun believed that one day Taeyong would move on from this and be back to the old him. Jaehyun believed Taeyong was the one who needed the most attention, love and affection that time. Per doctor’s advice on Taeyong’s sugar intake, Jaehyun needed to break the rule for a while because it was hard to feed Taeyong without his favourite Strawberry Frappe. After a few weeks, Taeyong seemed to be a lot better. He would wait for Jaehyun and they would sleep together.

 

Things keep getting better. Taeyong started to eat regularly. He keeps talking about how he was excited that he only had one year more to study after his semester break next month. He also started catching up with his classes and staying up to study for his final. Even though it was obvious that his eye bags were getting heavier but he won’t hide his emotions whenever he was happy or sad. Jaehyun was so blessed that he could see Taeyong was going back to his old self. He could not help but pray no one and nothing would take his Taeyong away from again.

 

Jaehyun just finished taking his shower and he went to the living room, which had been Taeyong’s study spot in this house. His books were spreaded all over the floor and on the table. Jaehyun made his way towards the sofa near the table where Taeyong was studying. Taeyong sat on the floor while his back was leaning by the sofa and Jaehyun took the opportunity to Taeyong’s hair, earning a pouty look from Taeyong.

 

“Baby, how are you feeling these days ?” Jaehyun asked, wanted to know Taeyong’s honest feeling.

 

“Hmm. Good ? Thanks to you and Yuta. You two helped a lot. Johnny and mommy also called me a lot. Papa also sent me a message saying that he loves me. I was so touched. I think I should visit them during my break. I am so grateful that there are actually a lot of people who care and love me,” Taeyong talked with bright eyes. Jaehyun could not stop smiling and staring at his love.

 

“You’re so pretty like this baby. Please always be happy like this. Remember that even though you feel like you are not loved by anyone in this world, I will always love you. I will always love you even though we are near, far, alive or dead. Always. Forever.” Jaehyun moved his face towards Taeyong’s. Their lips touch each other and Jaehyun couldn’t stop staring into Taeyong’s eyes.

 

“I love you so much. Please don’t ever forget that,” Jaehyun said and kissed Taeyong again.

 

Taeyong was finally done with his last paper.
 

“That was hard. I am actually lucky I didn’t miss that topic while revising because Jaehyun keeps distracting me,” Taeyong pouted.

 

“I know right. Fortunately, one of our classmate asked about it in our group chat. Let’s go grab lunch. We need to spend more time since you said you’re going back to Chicago this semester break,” Yuta said as he checked where to eat.

 

“Yeah, sure. Let’s grab some chicken stew. I have been craving that since our study week. After that let’s have some teokbokki too,” Taeyong spurted happily. Yuta just giggled, happy that Taeyong was finally going back to his old self.
