A/N: Hello! I'm back! And I will be updating two (2) chapters a day excluding weekends. Let's make it faster so we can move on to next. Have a goooooood day!

After sending Aera flowers, all her favourite snacks, and taking her to dates, we finally get back together. Taehyun and I decided not to see each other again for a while but I already made up my mind.

I'm going to tell Aera the truth and choose Taehyun. This is for the best.

"Welcome to Spring Café! What's yours sir?" I welcomed and asked the new arrived customer.

I think he was the guy who came early last time. So he went back again.

"Hi! Uhm, two I.A please for take-out. Thank you!"

"Copy sir! May I know the names sir?" I asked while looking at the monitor in front of me.

"Kai and Tae, please."

"Okay sir, please wait for your order," I replied and Jiwoo started making the coffee while I'm waiting for the next customer.

After that he called the names and then that tall customer with blonde hair and has a mole right beside his lips, on his nose and on his cheek went back to the corner then he asked Jiwoo about something before going out.

"What did he asked?" I asked him too.

"Ahh, about a private village. Oh! That village you once delivered too," he recalled.

I just nod. "He must be new here," I just commented and started entertaining the new customer.

"Yeah, he doesn't look like a pure Korean either," Jiwoo replied and I just chuckles.

"Hyung, why are you still here by the way? Today is your big day," Jiwoo asked.

"Right, the reservation I asked you, is it already good?- thank you, please wait for your order," I replied.

"Yes hyung! Go now and prepare yourself."

"Thanks dude, take care of the café."

I head out and went to my unit to change clothes. Today is our fifth anniversary and yes, cruelly, today is the day I want to tell her everything. I can't think of any dates but this.

I wore a simple black suit with white tee inside and then prepare myself to everything that I will say. I'm really going to be fucking honest today and I don't want to miss any details.

After moment, I received a message that she's already on the way to the restaurant I booked. I keep breathing in and out countless times but I can't seem to calm myself

Taehyun doesn't know about this because I know he won't let me do this. No one knows what I'm going to do tonight, that's why I don't have anyone to talk to.

I'm on my way now feeling edgy and nausea when I received a call from unexpected person. I answered it, "Taehyun, why? I have something to do right now so-"

(Hyung! Come here please! P-please!)

"Why!? What happened to you? Are you okay? Tell me!? Where are you?"

(H-home, please I n-need you here! P-please, Beomgyu hyung.)

This is the first time I heard him cried like that. He sounded so desperate. I immediately change my route and stepped on the gas like it's my last night driving.

When I arrived at his house, the lights are off in the first floor so I head inside his room and when I opened the door, I can hear a soft sniffles and low sobs. It's dark but I can see things that are messed up on the floor.

"Taehyun, I'm here."

"H-hyung! Hug me please!"

I run towards him who's beside of his bed, sitting on the floor, hugging his knees, and shaking in fear. I held him and hugged him tight. That's when the sound of his cries getting louder until it filled the whole room.

"I'm here. Baby, I'm here don't cry. Please, it's okay. Everything is fine," I comfort him while rubbing his back.

"H-he came back, hyung. I t-thought, I a-already can b-but," he didn't finished what he's talking about when he started coughing hard.

"It's fine. It's okay, you don't need to tell me about it. Calm yourself first, okay? Do you want me to get you some water?" I asked.

"N-no! Don't leave me, I'm afraid," he stopped me.

What's happening Taehyun? Why are you acting like this? Who came back to you?

My phone vibrates and I saw Aera's message that she's already waiting in there. I turned off my phone and slid back to my pockets.

"Come here, take a rest," I whispered and guided him to his bed and made him laid there.

"D-don't leave me, please."

"I'm not. I won't. I'll be here, okay?" I smiled and lay beside him.

He hugs me and rested his head on my chest. I started brushing his hair and hum a song like he's a baby. I can still feel him shaking and hears his soft sobs so I held his hand, to assure him I won't leave him.

We stayed like that for a moment until I can hear his low snores. That's when I decided to call Yeonjun using his phone. He said that he'll be on his way right away.

"What happened, Kang? Who hurt you?" I whispered. "I'm sorry, I wasn'y beside you earlier," I continued and kissed his forehead.

"You can tell me what's bothering you and everything, I am willing to listen to everything," I added. "I'm always here for you, I hope you know that."

Then the door opens again and I saw Yeonjun panting and holding his chest. He open the dim lights and that's we saw how a complete mess Taehyun's room is. I gently removed my body away from him and then fix his bed while he's sleeping.

"What the hell happened?" he asked looking around.

"I don't know. I just got a call from him and he's crying so much," I replied. "He said someone came back," I added.

He walks and picked up something from the floor. "Huh? Who came back?" he asked looking at that small tube he picked up.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Anti-depressant drugs, damn it. Is he trying to overdose his self?" Yeonjun hissed and looked at his friend.

"What? H-he's taking that kind of drug?" I asked in confusion.

"Taehyun's mental health isn't stable. That jerk, I swear to hell- wait," he paused and looked at me. "You said someone came back? Did he tell you who? Fuck, if it's him— I should have burned him alive that day," he muttered, gritting his teeth.

"Who? His ex? What's he's name? A-and was he the one who did this to him?"

"I don't know, Gyu. But if it's really him, do everything to take away Taehyun from him."

My brows knitted, "I don't get you at all."

"That's why I told him to stop seeing you already and doing shits like this because it will really trigger him again but he won't fucking listen to me. I know he likes you and I know you can feel it too but this brat won't just stop."

"What really happened to him?"

"He got this trauma from loving that asshole and his other way of forgetting the past is having this temporary fun. I already warned him about this but he won't listen. Now, look at him and if that motherfucker really came back for him, I'm really going to kill him."

I can feel his anger. I want to know how extreme that jerk did to Taehyun that result to this.

"Taehyun must have loved him like crazy," I muttered while looking at him.

"No dude, it's crazier than you think. He loved him to death."

I see, so that's why he's afraid to commit again. It must be really hard for him. I didn't know. I didn't about his pain because he doesn't want me to know about it. He just wants me to know him as the flirty Taehyun he is.

"Why are you so dressed anyways?" he suddenly asked me.

Shit, she totally got lost from my mind.

"I need to go now," I just replied but he grabs my wrist. "Why?"

"He called you first instead of me who knows everything about him and you're just going to leave him? What is he going to feel when he wakes up and you aren't here?"

"But-"

"Choi Beomgyu, he already found his comfort person. You're the only one he got right now. Please, don't leave him."

I pursed my lips and looked at Taehyun who's peacefully sleeping. I sighed and pulled my arm from him. "Then let me just call Aera," I stated and went out from his room.

I opened my phone and that's when notifications popped up. I sighed and felt guilty as I read Aera's messages.

Babe:

Babe I'm still here
Waiter said they're going to close
Babe, I went home
I'm sorry

I just sighed and close my phone again after screening her messages. I was about to get a water from the fridge when I stepped on something slippery.

Since it's dark, I opened my phone's flashlight and I saw my café's coffee on the floor. I picked up the cup and froze when I read the names written in there.

"Kai and Tae"
