Ch. 4Fourth Chapter


“I just want to ask you one thing. Have you fallen out of love with me, Jungwoo?”

Jungwoo looked back and asked, “Have you not, Taeil?”

“Have you also fallen in love with someone else, Woo-ah?”

The younger just looked down again as a blush raised on his cheeks and a soft chuckle left his lips. Taeil smiled as he caressed the younger's palm in a way of appreciating.

“Alright then I guess it's time to say goodbye.” Jungwoo said while standing up, ready to leave.

“Can we, can we kiss for the last time?” Taeil asked hesitantly and Jungwoo just giggled while leaning down and capturing the man's lips into his.

It was literally the sweetest and softest kiss they ever had. It didn't seem romantic but instead, a passionate sensation to share each other's new found feeling and support the same.

The both then pulled away and smiled at each other while giggling lightly. “Take care.” Taeil said.

“I think you need to take care of yourself more.” Jungwoo replied and kissed the elder's forehead and started making his way to the door.

Just as he was about to go outside, Taeil's voice broke the silence.

“Jungwoo, will we ever see each other again?”

“Maybe. In a new form. In a new way.” And with that, the man disappeared. Taeil exhaled and laid back again, relaxing and losing himself to the dreamland.

When Jungwoo went in the lobby and to his parents in laws, he overheard their discussion a little.

“We may get to this underground dealer Daniel but first we need to see Mr. Taeil's spouse as well. We have some speculations that should be cleared before we take any further move.”

“There is no need to reach out to any third party, officer.”

The voice took the group's attention as they all looked suspiciously at the latter. Including Baekhyun and Jongdae as well.

“Because, it's me.”

There was a moment of silence after that short sentence which had the old couple stunned in disbelief.

“Jung… Woo?” Jongdae tried speaking but his voice trembled.

“Yes. I am the one who did this. I am the one who got that car from Daniel and I am the reason why the kid is gone since I never wanted to have a child. Dad wasn't wrong when he speculated that I wasn't capable enough to take responsibilities of a father. I realized that I really wasn't so I had to do this.”

That was just enough for Baekhyun to stomp over the younger and smack him as if there's no tomorrow.

“You fucking bloody bastard! How the fuck you dare to hurt my son and grandchild you sick retard! You third class motherfucking killer. I'm gonna kill you right here with my bare hands!”

Blood started spilling out of Jungwoo's mouth as Baekhyun launched his hard knuckled fists on his jaw and lips, making him go blackout.

The police went off guard, pulled the elder away and Jongdae went to calm his husband while crying himself and the cops captured Jungwoo.

“Since he's almost fainted, we are taking him into custody for more investigation. Once again thank you and sorry for your loss.” The police clarified and started making their way to exit.

“That hell of a bastard killed… Killed my grandchild Dae…” Baekhyun exclaimed while clenching his fists which were still bloodstained.

Jongdae shook his head in regression. It was too much for him. Too much for them. Everything was just too much to handle. “Let's just try not to bring this thing to Taeil, Baek. I don't want my baby to be even more broken than he already is. Let's just take care of our son. I can't think about that man who did this with my family…”

“How are you feeling now, Taeil?”

“So much better now, doctor. Thank you so much for taking good care of me.”

“Oh no, no. It's just my duty. You should be thankful to the almighty that your parents are one of a kind.” The doctor complimented making Taeil giggle proudly.

“Where are they? Can I still not meet them?”

“Oh sure you can. They were just waiting as they didn't want you to disturb while you were sleeping. In fact, you may be discharged tonight so then you wouldn't have to wait at all.” The doctor joked Making Taeil laugh a little. “I'll go and inform them that you're awake.” The doctor then added while exiting.

Soon the couple came inside and Jongdae immediately hugged his son happily.

“Oh sweetie, how are you my little one?”

Taeil giggled at his father's act. “I'm alright, Papa. How are you guys?”

“We've been so freakingly worried about you my boy. I'm really thankful to see you all fine now.” Baekhyun exclaimed as he sat next to Taeil. Jongdae did the same on the other side.

“Well, I'm all good now. So you guys don't need to be tense anymore. You know you two don't look very good in a serious state. The clumsiness suits you the most.”

The trio started laughing at Taeil's joke and Jongdae started speaking in the middle, “Taeillie, I don't really want to bring this but we have to tell you about Jungwoo…”

“It's okay Papa. I know. And I don't want to know anymore.”

The three then stayed in silence for a few seconds.

“Let us just all chill. I'm about to be discharged. I gotta clean the house and all. You guys are going to help me or what?”

“What? No freaking way you are going to that house in this condition. We are taking you home. Your room is still all the same in fact I've even brought all your musicals back so don't even try ditching this.”

Taeil made a pout and looked at Baekhyun for help who just shrugged but started nonetheless. “Dae-”

“That's final.”

The eldest then turned back to the youngest and said, “Welp, your mommy won.”

And he was right. There was no way anyone was going to win against Jongdae's final decisions.
