stuck here forever, block b, jaehyo/taeil, taeil/p.o

[anonymous]

he calls him in the middle of the night, bawling his eyes out. his voice slurs and his speech rolls all over the place, so jaehyo knows that he's drunk-and he also knows that alcohol and lee taeil never mix well. so he throws on some clothes as quickly as he possibly can, jumps in his car, and demands to find out taeil's whereabouts.

when taeil has some water and he's snuggled in a fitting pair of Pokémon pajamas, jaehyo finally lets go of the worry that has been on his chest since one o'clock that morning.

even if he's a few years older than he is, jaehyo finds himself worrying over him so much, like when he went to his first ever job interview, and forced him to practice his lines all the time because of his nervousness and habit of making a complete idiot of himself.

he had gotten the job, thankfully. and with the job, he had also found "the love of his life", pyo jihoon. the exact man that taeil was now cursing because; supposedly jihoon had been cheating on him.

jaehyo bit the side of his cheek, pretending that taeil's now-single status was something that hadn’t been on his wish list every single year since jihoon and taeil had gotten together, and tried to play it off with the bromance card and slept on the couch that night.

"i can't sleep," taeil says, poking jaehyo's cheek lightly. they are both terrible when it comes to waking up, but even worse when it came to falling asleep, so jaehyo wasn't surprised when taeil woke him up. it was a foreign bed, and this was one of the first nights that taeil had slept…alone.

jaehyo takes his hand and climbs into bed with him, turning away from him because taeil is a distraction, and he doesn't need a distraction, not at this hour-

taeil's fingers run up jaehyo's spine and pull up the fabric of his shirt. "you're drunk. don't do this just to get back at him." jaehyo's words fall short and they get ignored, when taeil kisses his shoulder, pulling at the sleeves of jaehyo's sleep shirt.

jaehyo opens his eyes in the morning, his body aching. his heart aches when he turns to the side and realizes that taeil isn't there. he isn't surprised, but there was that tiny hope that taeil might have changed, that things might have changed. but they hadn't, nor would they.

he turns onto his side and clutches the covers, knowing that he'll be stuck here forever.
