chapter twenty-three

"hello, my love!"

jaehyun, who was holding a red cup and already getting red as he keeps laughing because of their topic. suddenly shifted to the older one who came closer to him, drunk.

"hey," jaehyun immediately went to him because he almost lost his balance.

"my love, jaehyunie..." he giggled, looking up at him.

"are you drunk?" jaehyun asked, feeling his ears heating up.

"no!" and he stood up properly.

"yes, you are." jaehyun said and wrapped his arm to the older one's waist. "let's go to your room, what would jaeyu react if he sees you like this?"

"jaeyu..." he whispered. "he was already looking for his daddy." he pouted.

"then find his daddy." jaehyun said.

he also didn’t know why he said that, he can even say that he can be jaeyu's dad but he didn’t know why he chose the other one to say.

"then come back to me!" he whined.

"w-what?" jaehyun asked.

"you're jaeyu's daddy!" and he started to hit jaehyun's chest. "and i hate you for not telling me that you really don’t marry her! i cried! i was even there on your coronation day!" he sniffed, already crying.

"taeyong..." the only word he can only say.

"jaeyu is our son... come back to us now... i'm still waiting for you..." and he rests his head on jaehyun's chest as he gets tired of hitting it.

jaehyun was speechless, he didn’t expect what taeyong's going to confess. he can't even read his mind and he didn’t know the reason why, it's impossible that someone was not thinking or having thoughts, right?

or maybe because taeyong is really telling the truth. jaehyun can't actually read his partner's thoughts and mind if he already bred them or had sex with them. it was one of his ways to find that it was really his partner.

"you're just drunk..." jaehyun said.

"hmm?" the older one hummed. "jae, can you read minds?" he suddenly asked.

"why?" he frowned.

"didn’t you say if a normal human had sex with a neo person, they might get their abilities?" he asked softly, still hugging jaehyun and resting his chin at jaehyun's chest, looking up at jaehyun.

"and?" jaehyun asked.

"i started to hear everyone's thoughts when i gave birth to jaeyu..." he pouted. "it hurts my head..."

staring at him, it might be hard for him who grew up being a normal human then suddenly he got an ability to read and hear someone's mind and he didn’t even know how to handle it.

so that means, jaehyun is now a father and jaeyu is his son?

"let's go to your room and we will talk tomorrow, hmm?" jaehyun said softly.

"carry!" he giggled.

"tss," jaehyun hissed. but can't also help not to smile before carrying taeyong on his back.

"you guys were going to sleep already?" mark asked as he saw the two.

"with jaeyu," taeyong said, giggling.

"oh..." mark said, holding back his smile. "have a sweet dream, then." he giggled.

taeyong is already resting his head on jaehyun's shoulder, he was talking a lot and jaehyun was just on his side, listening.

"jae, my love..." he called softly.

"hmm?" he responded.

"did you know what my parents said when they found out i'm pregnant?" he asked.

"hmm, no." he shook his head.

"they said that maybe the reason why i went gone for two months is because i made myself like this," he started. "but did you know that i didn’t even hurt what they said? i just let them talk because i don't even care about them. after that, i completely cut all my connections with them." he said proudly.

"yeah? that's my baby." jaehyun said.

"i wish you were on my side at that time..." he murmured. "i really missed you so much, my love..." he pouted.

"me too..." jaehyun whispered. "you don't know how much i miss you..."

and after that, he didn’t receive any response from taeyong. he just let out a chuckle when he saw taeyong had already passed out through the mirror inside the elevator.

arriving at the room unit, they were greeted by the babysitter. jaehyun told her to go already and she did. he put taeyong down softly on the couch to change his clothes. he can't put taeyong beside jaeyu because he smells alcohol.

after changing his clothes, he carried him again inside the room. he gently put him beside jaeyu, but taeyong suddenly woke up. he looked around and also smiled after seeing his son beside him.

"jae, baby... sleep here..." taeyong said and tapped the space on the side of jaeyu.

"yong—"

but taeyong glared at him cutely, jaehyun can't help not to smile and accept his defeat. he will just change his clothes to his room unit that is just doors away from them.

coming back, he can't help not to look at the two. is this how they look adorable and cute? jaehyun can't even imagine that someday, he will wake up and this will be his view.

"i hope you won't think that i'm mad for hiding our son," jaehyun said as he softly touched taeyong's face. "but i'm disappointed, you should not take all the responsibility..." he whispered.

"why are you so selfish..."

and jaehyun also passed out asleep that night, the silence covered them. both of their arms were softly wrapped on the kid which is in the middle of them.

***

tomorrow morning, taeyong groaned as he felt his head sting. he closed his eyes tightly and there he also felt an arm wrapped around his waist. he didn’t mind it and waited for the pain on his head to disappear.

"i won't really drink anymore..." he whispered and faced the other side of the bed.

he opened his eyes and there he saw the handsome face of the younger one which he didn’t expect the first one he would see as soon as he opened his eyes.

his face is soft, his eyelashes... taeyong just realized how handsome jaehyun is when it's closer.

"dada... daddy will melt..."

and there's taeyong suddenly flinched when he heard a whisper from a familiar voice of kid, the kid was standing on the edge of the bed, looking at them.

"what are you doing there?" taeyong asked in a low voice as he gently removed jaehyun's arm.

"nothing," he giggled.

"come here—"

but he was cut off when jaehyun hugged his waist again, pulling him closer. the baby let out cute giggles because of it, and he may have seen his dad smile when he pulled his dada closer.

"jaehyun?" he called, tapping his arm. "jaehyun!"

"hmm..." he groaned and hugged him, burying his face on taeyong's neck.

"aish! let me go!" taeyong hissed.

"jaeyu! breakfast is ready!"

they heard a voice from outside, it looked like doyoung was there.

"daddy, don't eat my dada." the kid said before he ran out of the room.

taeyong suddenly let out a moan when he felt someone kissing his neck, he immediately slapped jaehyun's arm and pushed him away but jaehyun was stronger. he pulled taeyong more closer and planted more hickeys on his neck.

"fuck, you smelled good..." he said. "i'm sorry..." he giggled, licking his lips.

"you give me some hickeys!" he hissed. "why are you even here though?!"

"me?" jaehyun asked. "oh, you told me last night to sleep here," he smiled.

"did i?" taeyong asked, eyes widened.

"yes," he nodded. "and we have something to talk about." and he got up from the bed, which taeyong also did.

"about what?" taeyong asked curiously, watching the younger one leaving the bed.

"for being selfish," and he looked at him coldly.

taeyong suddenly went speechless, what is he saying? did taeyong say something last night?

or he might have told the truth to him last night?

"selfish on... what?" he gulped.

he flinched when jaehyun suddenly went closer to him again, flicking his forehead and taeyong suddenly remembered what happened last night.

which made his jaw drop.

"i hate you," jaehyun said and left the room.

taeyong suddenly didn’t know what to do, but the first thing he did was to follow him. but as soon as he left the bed and was about to run, he suddenly teleported in front of jaehyun who immediately stopped on his tracks because taeyong popped out of nowhere in front of him.

even taeyong was surprised, he even almost stumbled.

did he just teleport?
