Taeyong sighed when he finished up cleaning his things inside his apartment he's been living in for months. He spent some time packing up as well this morning so he'll be coming to work later than he usually does. He's quite upset than tired right now. The call yesterday and meeting with the director just made him bumped out.

He stood up from the floor and planned to take a quick shower before he goes out to work. But he stopped when he heard his phone notified him about a message. Taeyong went to fetch it and look who texted him.

Jaehyun:
are you coming to work?
something happened?

The designer felt like shaking. He wasn't expecting him to message so he was surprised and his heart started fluttering. His cheeks were lightly colored with pink and his mind fuzzy. He doesn't know what to reply. He can't move on from Jaehyun texting him.

He should go to work late more often now.

Taeyong:
i'll be there in a few minutes
just busy this morning

He immediately threw his phone on the bed and ran into the bathroom to shower. He wore something to warm himself for a bit since it's getting a bit cold for the holidays. When he looked presentable enough, Taeyong went out of his flat to go to work straight away.

Just one message from Jaehyun, he's already running.

The character development.

Taeyong took a cab then arrived a few minutes later. He took the elevator after greeting back at the people who greeted first and bowing in the process. It took some time, had some seconds hearing his heart pounding from being such in a hurry. He does want to see Jaehyun badly.

Well, he won't be seeing him anyway after this.

When the doors opened, Taeyong took a stop because of Jaehyun appearing all of a sudden.

"Taeyong! I was just about to go to the lobby to wait for you."

"Sorry for being late," the designer apologized, not realizing what the model said.

Jaehyun shook his head and smiled at him, "No, it's fine. Let's go. I bought something for you."

Taeyong smiled back before he walked out of the lift and walked into the work room with Jaehyun behind. When they did, the designer was greeted by a bunch of models who was there for Kun. He greeted back before both of them took a seat on the other side of the room.

"You're almost done. So, I bought you a smoothie and a bunch of sweet potatoes."

The boy's eyes lit up. Jaehyun gave them to him and happily watched him eat. Although, his smile slowly faded into a sad one. His good mood suddenly saddened. He got upset. Taeyong noticed and he got worried.

"Bothered about Jagi?" the designer asked.

The model chuckled as he shook his head, "Well...I just heard that you need to go to Paris in a few days."

Taeyong tensed. The man's voice was laced with sadness, although, he still has a small smile on his face. Well, the boy planned on telling everyone about it but maybe days before his flight. Now that Jaehyun just opened the topic about it, he doesn't know what to say. He just smiled.

"I was offered another work from a company. I took it so I need to go back," the boy uttered.

"I thought you'll be able to be at the runway."

"Well, change of plans. Why? Sad about it?"

Jaehyun chuckled, "Is it obvious?"

"Are you really, though?" Taeyong asked, wanting to hear his feelings.

"Yeah. I want you to watch the runway...I thought you could see me present your clothing with pride," the model answered honestly.

"With pride? Wow, that's some commitment, Jae," the designer laughed lightly.

Jaehyun smiled, "I want to impress you anyway."

The other was taken aback, getting a bit flustered from the comment. He just chuckled at it, "I'll watch you from the live."

"It's different when you're here."

"Jaehyun, you're acting weird again," the boy said in a sing-song tone.

The model sighed, "Would it be weirder if I told you I'm acting like this because I have romantic feelings for you and I don't want you to leave?"

Taeyong stopped. The words felt like a blur. He was about to drop his drink. He looked back at Jaehyun and stared at him. Did he hear that right? He trying to read the model's expression but it just made him confused. Although, his stomach's fluttering and his heart pounding. He was so sure that his cheeks are pink. They were burning.

"...What?"

"I don't know if you're fine with a man liking you--well, more than 'like' but I took this as an opportunity," Jaehyun laughed softly, "I don't know when you will come back, or do you even have plans on coming back? Who knows...I understand that it was sudden but when will I ever have this much courage and opportunity again?"

The designer doesn't know what to say but he was definitely caught off guard. He couldn't think straight. But he just smiled back at Jaehyun.

"Well, uhm, I didn't expect a confession before I leave," Taeyong uttered.

The model shied away, "I'm sorry about this! Just...forget it."

"But I like you too."

Jaehyun tensed. He looked back, "Wait..."

The designer hummed and casually saying, "What? I like you."

The model's ears and cheeks became red, "R-Really?"

"Yeah...I haven't liked anyone but you're different. I've been too focused on work for my family that I haven't thought about myself. You were the only one who made me realize that, Jaehyun."

Jaehyun laughed and covered his face, "I can't believe this. No way!"

Taeyong laughed as well, "I also can't believe it. I have high standards for guys, you know? You're lucky."

"I am. Holy shit, I am lucky..."

Both of them were a mess in the inside. They don't know what to do but the adrenaline and good anxiety's kicking in. They were just comfortable with each other's stares.

"Wait, I still have work to do," Taeyong said to cut them out. He stood from his seat to grab the top he's been working on then goes back. He grabbed his materials and started sewing, "Sorry. I need to finish these before, you know, I go back."

Jaehyun hummed. He watched the designer does his stuff for a few seconds. He was thinking about something. Deciding, almost.

"What if I just go with you to Paris?"

Taeyong looked as his eyes widened, "What? Are you out of your mind? Your career's here!"

"But I can't let you go."

"But you just can't go with me that easily."

"I already decided. I'm going with you, and Jagi," Jaehyun said.

The designer just chuckled, "Are you really sure? This is a bit sudden. Think about it. You shouldn't decide so hasty."

The model frowned which just earned a sigh from the designer, rolling eyes at him playfully.

"Fine. Here's the plan then. I'll just finish this work in Paris then we'll go back here. I'll work here instead."

Jaehyun grabbed Taeyong's hand secretly and smiled at him, "Sounds like a plan to me."
