unsaid feelings

It's just another day for Kai, another day, another jealousy. He can't understand, why those Seyeon can't leave Taehyun alone?

"For fuck's sake, doesn't she know the word boyfriend, and boundaries?" Kai hissed, seeing Seyeon attempting flirts with Taehyun who is silently waiting on the locker area.

Kai breathes out, he doesn't want to burst; he can't afford to be the center of attention, and topic of gossips for weeks.

"Hueningie! You're here!" Taehyun beamed, running away from the lady who's flirting with him.

Kai smiled at him, "the prettiest, coolest person." He thought, opening his arms to catch Taehyun.

"Hyunie, good morning." Kai spoke in a monotone, swiftly wrapping his arms around the elder's waist.

As Taehyun sensed that Seyeon was walking closer to them, he immediately pulled Kai for a kiss, which made the other flinch.

"Bu—" her words lost when he saw Taehyun initiated the kiss. At first, Seyeon didn't actually believed Kai, because he might just be saving his "friend's" ass back then. But as he watched the scenario, Taehyun had the upper hand, she noticed that Kai was surprised.

"So.. they are really boyfriends..? Lucky, I could've had Taehyun's heart."

Seyeon thought, smiling. Instead of walking any closer, he left the area.

"Thank you for letting me know, I was blind until you made the move."

She added, chuckling on her way to their room.

As the lovers pulled away, Kai stared at Taehyun, which made the elder's giggle.

"Seyeon is not gonna bother me anymore, rest assure now." Taehyun assured, placing a peck on Kai's cheeks.

Kai was still there, frozen.

"Should I really talk about my feelings?"

Kai thought, staring at Taehyun's large sparkling eyes. The elder was smiling at him brightly, hands on his necktie.

"Hyunie, after school, would you like to go to my house? There... are some things I want to.. talk about." Kai asked, feeling anxious all over.

Taehyun let out a breath, "of course, we can talk about anything, Hueningie." The elder replied, pinching Kai's cheeks.

"Ow, ow, ow!" Kai exclaimed, making Taehyun chuckle. As the two stared into each other's eyes, again, Kai's heart beats quick, so was Taehyun's.

"Come on, we should get going now. It's 6:10am." Taehyun softly spoke, Kai nodded as a response, and planted a kiss on Taehyun's forehead.

"Hey Kai, have you heard? Your father, Sejeong is the new owner of this school." Jongho informed, surprising Kai. He never mentions his family, but how did he know?

Kai gave him a confused look.

"Ah about that, Choi Sejeong introduced himself as your father yesterday!" Jongho replies, earning a nod from Kai.

After their mother left, their father didn't showed up for days; in which they thought he died, or built his own family.

Nonetheless, Kai couldn't believe that their father appeared out of nowhere, who knows, he might do something terrible again.

"Does my hyungs know?"

Kai thought, deeply thinking in his chair. There are two outcomes : a good, and bad one.

In the good one, their father might have changed, just like their mother. The bad one, however, is he might abuse them again.

"I'll ask them later... ugh.. I don't feel good about this."

The latter frowned, his hands fiddling, and his foot vigorously stomping.

"Lunch time, I need to search hyungs."

Kai thought, running off the hall. The teachers didn't paid mind since they are all busy gossiping with each other.

On the other hand, Taehyun noticed that Kai was rushing through the main hallway, running to the minor building; to Yeonjun, and Beomgyu's building.

The elder sprinted away from the crowd, tailing the younger as he sprints.

"Fuck, too fast, too fast."

Taehyun thought, panting as he tails Kai. The younger seemed to notice a presence behind him, he looked back, to his surprise, it was his lover.

Kai halted his steps, "Hyunie!" He yelled, making Taehyun speed up. As the elder reached the elder's track, he collapsed to the younger's shoulder.

"I'm— I'm so-sorry, I'm n-no good in running. You can go, I'll follow you." Taehyun stated, panting heavily. Kai shakes his head as a refusal, instead he carried the elder in bride style, and started running again.

"H-hey! You-you'll get ti-tired!" Taehyun shouted, still panting from runnig. Kai shakes his head, then gave Taehyun an assuring smile.

Minutes of running, Kai arrived at Beomgyu's room. There is Beomgyu, chatting with a classmate.

"Kai? What brings you here?" Beomgyu asks, walking towards him, and Taehyun. The younger gently placed Taehyun on the floor.

"Sejeong.." words that only came out from Kai's mouth, this surprised Beomgyu. The elder thought for a while.

"Yeonjun-hyung, you should go and check to him.. I'm scared.." Beomgyu mutters, the younger only nodded and was about to carry Taehyun again, but the other refused.

"I can do it." Taehyun stated, earning a nod from Kai.

Taehyun, and Kai waved good bye to Beomgyu who is very anxious about the news.

Reaching Yeonjun's area, they saw the black hair, beaten up to pulp. His wounds were deep, has a black eye, slashes, and so on.

"Hyung.. what happened?" Kai asks, then there's Taehyun, confused.

Yeonjun slightly opened his eyes, "hos... hos.. hospi.. tal.." those were Yeonjun's word before he closed his eyes.

.

"What happened, hyung?" Kai asks once again but this time, Yeonjun is sitting at the hospital bed.

Taehyun was sitting away from them, thinking that it's a personal thing they need to settle.

"Dad's back, I don't know what he was thinking. He just came searching for me, then the next thing I knew I was being beat up by his men." Yeonjun explained, face, arms, legs, neck, and back full of bandages. Kai nodded, frowning.

"You can go home, Kai. It's okay, don't need to think too much. Beomgyu is in his way to come here." Yeonjun assures, patting Kai's head. The younger just nodded, his eyes feeling heavy all of the sudden.

.

Kai, and Taehyun went home. Although Kai didn't want Taehyun to come along, the elder still insisted, seeing how down Kai is.

Both of them were sitting at Kai's bed; Taehyun sitting by the head board, and Kai resting on his chest.

The elder was crying, breaking down. Everything on his mind was stirred.

Seyeon, Yeonjun, Sejeong, Haeri

Taehyun is caressing his hair, drawing circles at Kai's shoulder to ease him.

"Hyunie.. when will this end? I remember the time where my father beat me up.. It was the same condition with hyung, but he was severe than I am.." Kai suddenly shares, letting his tears flow down.

Taehyun didn't speak, he wants Kai to let all his emotions go.

"And.. and Seyeon.. when will she ever stop? Why is she so ambitious of having you..?" He added, which made Taehyun shocked; but still, he didn't chose to speak.

"All of these, when will our father's threat will stop? What's so hard to make your children feel freedom?" Kai sobs, his arms tightening around Taehyun. The elder frowned, it is hurtful to see Kai's vulnerable side.

"Me, Yeonjun-hyung, Beomgyu-hyung, and even mom only seeks freedom. We didn't ask for more.." the younger added, bitterness lacing his voice.

And both of them went quiet.

"Hueningie, don't worry about Seyeon anymore okay? She won't bother me again." Taehyun paused, "as for your family, did your father has spoke to you?" He asks, Kai only shakes his head.

"Your father is complicated." the elder commented, earning a giggle from Kai. The younger looked up to him.

Taehyun pulled Kai's hair back, then cups his cheeks.

"Do you feel heaviness? Pour them to me, I'm willing to listen to all of those." Taehyun softly spoke, smiling. Kai's heart clenches, but nodded.

"I did tell you before, always speak to me when you have a problem. Always tell me what's bothering you." The elder added, pulling Kai closer to his face.

The younger, and his face is centimeters away from each other.

"I love you, Kai, I always do." Taehyun mutters between their lips before connecting them.

Their lips moved in sync, like dancing leaves in a windy day.

As they pulled apart, both of them smiled. Kai's arms lifting Taehyun to sit in his thighs.

Currently, the younger has his back at the head board, and Taehyun straddling him.

"I love you too, Taehyun." He mutters, burying his face at the elder's neck.

"That's right, pour those emotions; whether they are bad, or good." Taehyun stated, caressing the younger's hair again.
