Chapter Text
" I- I like you Taehyun."
He looked into my eyes, his hands squeezing tightly around mine and I looked right back him.
Speechless.
" Wait no, I love you so so much."
He shook his head lightly, smile blooming wider at each word with excitement as he looked at me with so much .. love.
"Yeonjun I love you to." I smiled a big happy smile.
" I love you so much, your so amazing and I love everything about you an-"
My ramble was cut off with nothing but his warm lips upon mine. When we finally parted from the kiss, we met eyes once again.
" Will you be mine?" He asked.
" Yes, a thousand times yes."
" Then I shall be yours."
Ok now enough with the cliché confession, Let's see what fate had in store just to destroy it.
✧
My name is Kang Taehyun, I had a pretty normal life.
Only child, stable finance, Boyfriend to Yeonjun, angel to homophobic parents.
Dad works in parliament, mum is a doctor at some private hospital.
Yeonjun and I met at the beginning of highschool when I witnessed some kid making fun of him in front of everyone because he was an orphan.
Turns out he didn't take the comment very lightly. He then decided to beat him like he was a punching bag, the moment I saw blood and heard something crack I figured it wasn't ok to just stand around.
I tried my best to separate the fight with the help of my friend Soobin and that was the first time our eyes met.
" Hey calm down, I think he learnt his lesson. " I tired to reason.
" Don't tell me what to do." He simply scuffed and walked away.
He seemed misunderstood so I tried to befriend him, didn't work at first but after a few hundred tries he finally warmed up.
We became close friends in no time. It was like he was my safe space someone I could talk to, shoulder to lean on.
I figured it was the same for him as well. He even told me that..
" I have a problem, I have a anger issues,
sometimes I just, I- I can't control it, sometimes people just make me really mad and I feel the need to make them regret it but for some reason since I met you everything is so quite and my head feels tranquil."
I was his sanctuary and he was mine.
after a few months the confession came and we were bond by love that I felt for him, I really did.
However it didn't really stay that happy.
Eveything started going south the day my father was convicted for corruption, and a whole lot of rich people lost money because of him and what made it worse was that there was no punishment against him which angered them even more.
I didn't want to be involved in that, and like I did for most of my life I try not boast about having a parent like him and convered myself from the media.
Stalkers stalk and that's what landed me the chance to loose everything.
I was in my last weeks of High School. Break started and I left my class heading to the cafeteria to sit with Soobin and Yeonjun.
Until I bumped into somone and accidentally dropped the book that they were holding.
" Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't paying that much attention." I said while getting the book and handing it to him.
" It's ok no worries, I'm Kai nice to meet you just moved here actually so I'm kinda lost." He said.
"Nice to meet you too Kai, I'm Taehyun, been here for awhile." I replied with my best smile and dry joke combo.
" I hope I'm not holding you back but do you mind showing me around I still need to find a few classes."
And that's where things kicked off with between Kai and I.
Very nice lad, we were great friends for awhile and he even joined Soobin, Yeonjun and I at break time due to his lack of friends.
It was the day of the graduation and everything was going as planned, my grades were good enough and so was Yeonjun's.
Just one step closer to success. I thought those words for most of the ceremony. After that we all planed to go to Soobin's after party.
I was talking to a few friends at the party while looking around for Yeonjun since I new that he wasn't the biggest fan of such a setting. I felt a slight tap on my shoulder, I turn to see Kai.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a second."
"Yeah sure."
He lead me to a room were there was no one. I was a bit skeptical but I figured he was my friend and I could trust him.
"So, does he know that your the son of Kang Jaehyuk or is that something you keep from him."
He looked at me with a sinister smile forming, and my blood ran cold at his words.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh sorry, I wasn't being specific I mean does your little boyfriend know that that your the son of such a filthy man."
Well in all honesty Yeonjun did know but why is he asking that and how the hell did he find out.
Silence.
"Oh c'mon your usually so talkative what happened, cat got your tongue?" He chuckled and it sent shivers down my spine.
" What are you trying to say." I said
"Y'know my family was affected by what he did we were almost on the streets and he just slept tight with is his bank balance gaining zeros from our money!" He raised his voice slightly stepping closer in contrast with me stepping more and more away from him.
"We didn't get a cent of that money."
"Wow of course vouching for him, Well I don't care I just want one thing."
"I'm not doing anything for you."
"Oh really, even if I," He then pulled out his phone tapped something on it and showed me what looked like his gallary and to my horror it was filled with photo's of Yeonjun and I, Kissing, hugging, holding hands...
"Your sick, why are you stalking us?"
"Because Tae , I might use these to ruin you by sending this straight to your Dad."
"And how would you do that?"
He then showed me that he did have dad's private email freezing me in the spot, blood running colder.
"What a shame, I don't think Daddy is going to be very happy that his amazing son is gay and even more that he has a boyfriend it'll surly ruin you, oh and what will he do to Yeonjun! If he's not going to suffer everyone else should even you." He said dramatically.
I hate to admit it but he's right this could ruin everything and my dad will most definitely not be merciful.
My eyes fixed on the floor.
"What do you want from me?"I said quietly, not believing what was coming out of my mouth.
"It's simple really." He then lifted my chin with his finger and I smacked it away
"y'know your very pretty Teahyun, and ever since I met you I've been wishing to get a kiss, be a dear and grant my wish."
"Your sick-"
"I wouldn't talk like that if I were you I'm the one blackmailing here.
Now go on do it, that's all I ask."
I was hesitant at first but I couldn't risk it all. I close my eyes and imagine that it is my love, not filth, who stands before me.
I kissed him lightly planning to let go at the first second then I felt a hand around my waist just as I was about to pull away. I heard a familiar voice sounding as broken as ever.
"Taehyun?"
I looked at Yeonjun and just as I thought he looked utterly betrayed.
"Yeonjun it's not what you think,"
"What the fuck do you mean by that? I'm not stupid, I just saw you kiss him!" He raised his voice, then scuffed.
I pushed Kai away and walked up to him, but he just shook his head and walked away. I was about to go after him when,
"Hey, we're not done here."
"You got your kiss, leave me the fuck alone!"
I followed Yeonjun to the main room.
"Hey Yeonjun, wait lemme explain."
"Explain what huh, that I was just some game, some joke!"
Soobin then came up to us.
"Hey guys, what's go-"
"Stay out of this!" Yeonjun snapped
"Yeonjun, you're not a joke, I love you remember?"
" Seriously, you love me, I would have never guessed when you fuck around with other guys like that!" He said in a sarcastic tone.
"Yeonjun no, let me explain,"
"There's nothing to explain! I saw what happened!"
"Yeonjun! Calm the fuck down."
"Don't tell me what to do! There's nothing that can justify the fact that you cheated on me, was I that bad that you had to do it behind my back, seriously!? You pity me that much!?"
"Yeonjun, I love yo-"
"Then why would you kiss another-"
The room went silent.
I couldn't believe what I saw.
Yeonjun's hand was raised in the air with Soobin's tightly holding it in place, preventing it from moving any further.
His angered eyes did not move away from mine.
That's when I realised: Yeonjun was about to hit me.
"Yeonjun, that's enough," Soobin said.
A single tear escaped my eye.
The eye contact broke, and Yeonjun forced his hand out of Soobin's.
"Let go of me!" He shouted. "I'm sick and tired of this shit! I'm leaving!"
He turned and took one step, then turned and walked back to me, coming closer until I could feel his breath on my neck, and he could hear my heart beat accelerate.
"I don't ever want to see you, and if you try to waste your time with me again I'm going to make your life a living hell."
Then he left, I never saw him again...
