chapter three





early morning when taeyong woke up because someone just barged in inside his room, glaring at that person. ten just put the clothes down on the ground.


"what the fuck is that?" taeyong asked.


"your clothes." ten said calmly.


"you will make me wear those dirty... clothes?" and he gave ten looks.


is he serious? the clothes that taeyong only wears are those designer ones. and the clothes look so used, there's no way that taeyong would wear that.


"and so the clothes you're still wearing, ew." ten said sassily and rolled his eyes.


"and so what? the clothes that you just gave me actually look so used." taeyong said.


"that's why i wake you up early to clean those clothes together with us," he smirked.


"clean— what?!" he shouted.


"it's jaehyun's wish," ten said. "we were going to the river nearby to wash the clothes, are you going to come with us or you wouldn't have any clothes to wear?" his eyebrow raised.


taeyong looked at clothes, he didn’t know how long he was going to stay here so it looked like he didn't have a choice. he would clean those clothes whether he wanted to or not.


he didn’t even try to clean his clothes, he actually didn’t expect that he would do this here. literally not in his universe.


"are you really going to make me carry all of these?" taeyong hissed as he was struggling to carry those clothes.


"yes," ten said calmly. leading the way.


"bullshit." he hissed.


a minute later, taeyong already heard the noise of the river. inner him suddenly felt excited but remembering the reason why he was here, making him pissed.


he finally stopped on his tracks, ten pointed to the huge rock where he was going to put his clothes. he was the one who explained how taeyong will wash the clothes and hearing it, taeyong suddenly wants to drown now.


"i grew up being a princess in our house, why the fuck they making me do this..." he whispered as he wash each of the clothes.


"are you saying something?"


hearing the familiar voice, taeyong annoyingly dried the clothes and looked at his back where the tall half naked guy was standing. taeyong suddenly looked down slowly and gulped.


jaehyun was literally wearing nothing on his top, he was wet and taeyong assumed that he might be swimming.


"do you guys don't have a washing machine?!" he hissed and looked away.


"have you seen one?" he asked, raising his eyebrow. "if you don't then the thing you're looking for doesn't exist here."


"tss, why do you guys even made me do this? i was literally a human who accidentally went—"


but he stopped when he realized that jaehyun left, he annoyingly rolled his eyes and couldn't help not to hit the water which just made himself wet because the water straightly flashed into his face.


he groaned and continued washing his clothes, holding his tears back as he didn't really want to do this. taeyong easily cries whenever he is annoyed or mad and he can't do anything about it.


"hi, hyung!"


taeyong glared at someone who was speaking, but jaemin just gave him a smile before looking down to watch taeyong's doing.


"what donghyuck said that you don't really know how to do basic chores looks true," he chuckled.


"there's nothing funny about it," taeyong said and went back to what he was doing.


"isn't it a good start? while you are here, why don't you try to start new things?" he asked softly.


"this is not my universe." he hissed.


"just try, hyung." jaemin said, giggling.


taeyong frowned and looked up. jaemin was pretty cute when he wore that smile. but taeyong was confused, what jaemin said is true, do haechan really live here? why didn't haechan tell them?


"because this is a good place to start everything."


taeyong took a lot of time to finish washing his clothes. he was lucky that jaemin and winwin decided to help him hang all of his clothes. he took a seat on the rock he saw and started to look around.


the place looks peaceful, the river looks calm... taeyong suddenly felt the peace he was wanting to feel for. but he suddenly gets disappointed after seeing someone who is currently getting some fish and still being half naked.


an evil plan suddenly came into taeyong's mind that made him silently chuckle and left his seat, trying his best to go near him silently.


"aaa!"


he suddenly shouted when jaehyun suddenly flashed literally in front of him, he even stumbled on his place that made him fall on the river. making him more wet.


"you fucker!" taeyong hissed and stood up.


"why are you still here?" jaehyun asked and started to walk, going back to the shore.


"i just finished washing my clothes." taeyong said and pouted, following him.


he didn't have spare clothes yet, he didn’t know what he was going to do, he was completely wet right now, even his hair. he even easily gets sick when it comes to this.


jaehyun, who was literally hearing his thoughts. he couldn't help not to smile and just continued walking. he knew it, this guy literally has a soft side.


"i will lend you some clothes later," jaehyun said calmly. "it's my fault after all."


"as you should, mister." taeyong said.


"tss, scaredy cat." he smirked.


"fuck off," he hissed. "can you stop doing that, mister? i'm easily startled, i don't even want to die here." he rolled his eyes.


"that's not my fault," jaehyun said as he gave the bucket of fish to the kid who was waiting for him at the shore.


they watched the kid run away after that. taeyong was frowning and looked at jaehyun. he didn’t know that this handsome tall guy has a little kindness.


"are those people here stuck on this island?" taeyong suddenly asked.


"no, this is really their home." jaehyun said calmly and wore his t-shirt.


which made taeyong disappointed, mister jaehyun's abs are no longer to be seen now.


and jaehyun who is hearing his thoughts couldn't help not to smile, he even saw the small pout on taeyong's face.


"let's go home," and he showed his hand.


taeyong looked at his hand before jaehyun, asking what was in his hand.


"then ride the horse yourself," jaehyun said and effortlessly went at the horse.


"wait!" taeyong shouted.


"tss, come on." jaehyun said and handed his hand again to guide taeyong.


"i won't fall right?" he asked worriedly when he successfully rode the horse.


but before jaehyun made the horse start to walk, taeyong already wrapped his arm around jaehyun's waist as he was scared to fall.


"i heard your conversation with jaemin earlier." jaehyun said.


taeyong, who has his face buried in jaehyun's back, suddenly looked up because of what jaehyun just said.


"he was right, when you're still here, try to start those things you can't do when you are in your world." he said calmly. "your parents are not here, you won't feel any pressure."


and that made taeyong frowned. how did jaehyun know that taeyong was pressured by his parents, that's why he always wants to be perfect and not failing?


maybe it was one of his powers, taeyong didn’t speak and just pouted. still holding at jaehyun.


"since you sound kind today, can i talk with you about my life? i really wanted to tell you this." taeyong said softly.


"change your clothes first, we will go somewhere where you can tell all your problems." jaehyun said calmly.


"okay..." he whispered.



they didn’t even take long to arrive, jaehyun really lent some clothes to taeyong which the older one also accept. he took a bath first before wearing jaehyun's clothes.


he even startled when he saw jaehyun inside his room, laying down on his bed, having his arm covered in his eyes.


"try to do that, you won't really go back alive in your world."


taeyong was stopped when he was about to hit jaehyun using the pillow he was currently holding, the older one pouted and rolled his eyes.


"the sun is already setting, are we still going?" taeyong asked curiously.


"yeah?" jaehyun answered and get up from the bed.


"where are we going though?" he frowned, following jaehyun when the younger one made his way out of the room.


"where i first saw you."
