It's alright
It's alright
Lost everything that really meant to me
Even when I cried, when I was alone, You have always been with me
You are my angel
Oh... You are my angel

-Oh my Angel CHAI

Taeyong's mobile phone fell out of his hand with a loud clatter and landed with the edge first on the floor, where the screen split directly apart. Taeyong lost all the colors from his face and stared shocked at the broken pieces of his cell phone screen, which were now spread out on the carpet. His heart was beating like crazy in his chest and he felt as if he couldn't breathe anymore. His breathing was uncontrollably rapid while the vision in front of his eyes was getting blurry. Taeyong couldn't believe what had happened. He didn't want to believe what just happened. A hopeless sob left his lips and he pressed his hands over his mouth to avoid waking up the others in the house.

It was the middle of the night and as so often, Taeyong couldn't sleep and was scrolling through social media. The first thing he noticed when he unlocked his phone, were a lot of messages from his manager.Confused, Taeyong clicked on the chat and scrolled through the messages while his eyes got bigger and bigger and the words started to blur in front of his eyes. With shaky fingers he clicked on the link in one of his manager's messages and breathed in sharply as he saw the new video from BTS.
The title "The Truth about SM's Lee Taeyong" jumped right into his eye and drilled deep into his heart. The video started, but Taeyong was not able to record what the guys in the other band said about him. His body started shaking and the mobile phone slipped out of his hand and was now lying on the floor with a splintered screen in front of him.

With shaky steps he stumbled back and crashed his back against his desk. He had to get out of here. Suddenly the walls of his room became too narrow for him and he felt as if something was taking his breath away. His head switched to autopilot and without thinking about it, Taeyong left his room. He ran down the stairs, stumbled halfway into Haechan, who shouted after him before he disappeared in the elevator. He just had to get out of here. Away from everyone, away from his never ending problems.

He did not care that it was heavenly raining outside. He didn't care about anything. He just had to leave. While in his mind his thoughts were only about the video and that probably the whole world had seen this, his legs led him through the dark Seoul. Only when he stopped, soaked wet, in front of a building his brain turned on again. His clothes stuck to his body while he shivered from the cold. His breathing was still unusually fast, with not much air entering his lungs. Taeyong was completely hyperventilating. With shaky steps he walked towards the building in front of him and pressed the bell. While waiting for the door to open, he wrapped his arms around his cold and wet body.

"Yes? Hello?"
It didn't take long before Baekyhun's voice came out of the hands-free system, even though it was in the middle of the night.
"H..hyung."
Taeyong himself didn't know why he was running to Baekhyun, but his body acted like on autopilot. No sooner had Taeyong finished speaking then the sound of the door being open was heard and he entered the building. Baekhyun was already standing at his door, waiting for his younger friend. When Taeyong arrived, his eyes immediately widened at the sight of him.Taeyong was wet to the bone, his clothes were sticking to his body, he was shivering and looked incredibly pale.

"Taeyong-ah, what are you doing here? It's in the middle of the night."
Baekhyun pulled the young man into his apartment worried.
But as soon as Baekhyun put his arms around the younger one, the latter collapsed immediately, crying. Shocked, Baekhyun caught him and pulled him close. Taeyong immediately clung to him.

Call it brother behavior but Baekhyun had this urge to protect Taeyong ever since the day SuperM was formed. Something about Taeyong made Baekhyun wants to protect him from the harshness of the world, from the vile and evil things that could taint the pure soul and ruin his innocent smile. The thought that something had happened again that made his cute Dongsaeng cry, made him angry even though he didn't even know why he was so upset. Baekhyun somehow led both of them to sit down on the sofa and immediately pulled the younger one into his arms again. Taeyong still didn't answer him, so Baekhyun asked him again, this time quieter than before.

"It... I'm sorry, Hyung.... It's just- jaehyun's not home, and I just can't wake the younger ones, and I-I don't know where else to go"

Baekhyun's heart shattered when he heard the broken voice.
"Hey, it's okay... I don't mind at all."
Baekhyun was grateful that Taeyong initiated initiated to search for someone and came to him. No matter what happened, it was better to be in company than having to go through everything alone again, because in times like these, being alone could be very dangerous, you can't predict what your stressed brain will offer.

Taeyong wiped the tears from his eyes with trembling hands and sat up a little. "B..Bts released the video. The video about me" Baekhyun looked at him in shock. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

"T...they really did it Hyung." Once again, Taeyong burst into tears. "I...I know, I just don't know what to do." He desperately buried his face in his hands and sobbed uncontrollably. Baekhyun bit his lip uncomfortably. He never saw Taeyong as desperate and hopeless as at that moment and he didn't know how to help him. Baekhyun simply pulled him back to his chest, hoping that his presence would give him some support. The older one's head was working like crazy. He just wanted to find a solution, as well as words to calm the younger one. He just tried to be there for him and at least show him that he was never alone.

After they had been sitting closely cuddled together on the sofa for several minutes, if not hours, Taeyong at some point fell asleep from exhaustion. His collapse had literally knocked him out and robbed him all his energy.

He woke up again as someone shook him gently and looked directly into the brown eyes of Jaehyun, which looked at him with worries.
"Jaehyun?" Tired and exhausted, Taeyong sat up. As a result of the space that had become free, Jaehyun immediately sat down and pulled him into his arms.
"We are so happy that we found you. Haechan called me directly when you ran out of the dorm. We were really worried. If Baekhyun Hyung hadn't called us, we'd have gone all over Seoul looking for you."
Taeyong snuggled up closely to his boyfriend's chest and Jaehyun began tostroke his hair gently. "Don't worry babe, we will fix everything. BTS won't get away with it. I promise you that."
Taeyong buried his face more on his boyfriend's chest and squeezed his eyes together to prevent him from crying again. Jaehyun pulled him closer and gently kissed his forehead as he glanced at Baekhyun who was watching them. Jaehyun muttered a soft thank you that Baekhyun accepted with a slight nod and gave Jaehyun a gentle smile.

"Yong, let's go home and take care of the problem there, okay?" Jaehyun turned to Taeyong again and pressed his lips again on his forehead. "The others are also all worried about you."
Taeyong just nodded slightly but didn't let go of him one inch. Jaehyun sighed slightly, pulled Taeyong closer and stood up with him in his arms. He said goodbye to Baekhyun and thanked him once more before he left the apartment with Taeyong and drove home with him where the others were anxiously waiting for him. The others and a guest who no one thought would show up.

Funny story. I was looking for a synonym for heavy rain and found:
It's raining cats and dogs outside

Are people really saying this?
I never heard that before.
